Gift of Water of Life

The next day, at Luo Feng's home in Mingyue Community, Xu Feng visited Luo Feng, who lived in the same neighborhood.

"Ever since you went to the training camp, this is our first get-together." Luo Feng also felt that life was unpredictable.

"What exactly is the Elite Training Camp like?" He was curious and eager to know.

Xu Feng did not answer directly, merely giving a mysterious smile. "You'll know once you go there yourself."

Luo Feng did not dwell on it and burst into laughter instead. "Then I really will have to go take a look someday."

They drank ice-cold beer, ate barbecue, and casually reminisced about the past. For Xu Feng, who had just survived several life-and-death crises and become an Invincible God level warrior, freely eating and chatting with an old friend was a rare experience.

As Xu Feng looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar young man across from him, he too felt something strangely profound.

He suddenly recalled a saying: You think you are the protagonist, but in someone else's eyes, you are merely a supporting character.

Everyone was the protagonist of their own life, and everyone had their own extraordinary story.

"Speaking of which, this Nine Heavens Thunder Blade is really hard to practice. Even now, I can't instantly unleash a single burst of Hidden Strength." Luo Feng shook his head helplessly.

"I bought three levels in total. I truly can't imagine how the second, third, or even ninth layers of Hidden Strength are supposed to be unleashed.

"How is your Nine Heavens Thunder Blade coming along, Xu Feng?"

"Me?" Xu Feng casually picked up the A7-series Blood Shadow Saber beside him, intending to give Luo Feng a few pointers. "Just watch and you'll know!"

Seeing the advanced equipment Xu Feng had bought, Luo Feng was filled with envy. Still, he believed that he would definitely catch up to and surpass Xu Feng, becoming a God level warrior!

But when he clearly saw Xu Feng's saber technique, Luo Feng was completely stunned.

Under Luo Feng's disbelieving gaze, Xu Feng casually swung his blade, splitting the air and producing five closely packed pa-pa sonic booms that sounded almost like one.

From that characteristic alone, Luo Feng immediately realized that Xu Feng had mastered the fourth level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.

He was utterly dumbfounded, silent, his expression exceptionally complicated.

Recalling what had just happened, Luo Feng revealed a trace of disbelief.

But immediately afterward, Luo Feng sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes in contemplation.

The scene of Xu Feng swinging his blade appeared in his mind, while the trajectory of the swing replayed itself over and over.

Many things he had not understood within the eighteen saber forms of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade were now being deciphered by Luo Feng one by one!

Clearly, after witnessing the mysteries of Xu Feng's fourth-level Nine Heavens Thunder Blade technique, he had entered a state of enlightenment and begun comprehending the first level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.

Combined with Luo Feng's exceptional comprehension, this enlightenment, and all his previous practice, one doubt after another was overcome through mutual confirmation... Countless insights surfaced, and a smile unconsciously appeared on Luo Feng's face.

"So this is the protagonist, Luo Feng?" Xu Feng's eyes widened as he involuntarily drew in a sharp breath. "Truly terrifying!"

To be honest, it had taken Xu Feng half a month to comprehend the first level.

But Luo Feng?

He had merely watched Xu Feng perform the first level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade once, and it seemed he was about to break through directly.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!" Luo Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes. A sharp gleam flashed in them, and his face filled with wild delight.

After rising to his feet, Luo Feng immediately threw a punch, unleashing two layers of Hidden Strength at the same time.

The first level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade had been mastered just like that...

"He really did it?" Xu Feng was speechless.

"Xu Feng, thank you. If not for your demonstration, I don't know how long it would have taken me to comprehend the first level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade." Luo Feng spoke gratefully.

"Your enlightenment came from your own ability and comprehension. You don't need to thank me." Xu Feng looked as though life had lost all meaning.

"I thought my comprehension was already pretty good, but I never expected you to be even more terrifying than me. You comprehended the first level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade in just a few days." Xu Feng smiled.

"Work hard, Luo Feng. Strive to enter the War God Reserve Camp. I believe you have the potential." Xu Feng's gaze sharpened.

Looking at the determined Luo Feng before him, Xu Feng seemed to see his former self.

In truth, there was not much difference between him and Luo Feng. Xu Feng had merely gone a little farther down the path of a warrior.

"Oh, right. I have something for you."

Xu Feng took out the Water of Life he had prepared long ago and handed it to Luo Feng as he spoke calmly.

"This is for you. You should need it badly right now."

"What is this?"

Luo Feng accepted the small bottle in confusion. It contained only a tiny amount of green liquid.

"Water of Life. It can regenerate severed limbs."

"No, no, no, this is too valuable. I can't accept it!"

The moment Luo Feng heard that it could regenerate severed limbs, he immediately tried to return it to Xu Feng.

Though he did not know its value, an item with such an effect certainly could not be cheap.

"Take it. Think about your younger brother."

"This..."

When Luo Feng heard mention of his younger brother, he hesitated.

Many years ago, his younger brother had been injured in an accident and had been confined to a wheelchair ever since.

That alone would not have made Luo Feng hesitate. The crucial thing was that after the accident, his younger brother had suffered a severe blow and repeatedly tried to take his own life.

Because of this, both his mother and father had been deeply worried.

He had even complained about it to Xu Feng a few times before.

He had not expected that at this meeting, Xu Feng would bring him something that could allow Luo Hua to stand again.

The opportunity to change all this was now in his hands.

The words of refusal he had just spoken could no longer leave his mouth.

But the item was too precious. Luo Feng could not accept it with peace of mind, and he was deeply conflicted.

"Take it. This thing isn't worth much. If you feel bad about it, just pay me back later."

"Alright, no problem. How much?" Luo Feng recalled that he still had twenty million in startup funds in his account.

That had been an investment from Supervisor Zhuge Tao when he had first become a warrior.

The Water of Life could even regenerate severed limbs, so it surely was not cheap. For his younger brother Luo Hua, he could only buy less equipment and enter the Wilderness Zone to train.

"It's not much, only thirteen billion Huaxia Currency," Xu Feng said casually.

"Thirteen billion Huaxia Currency!"

Hearing that number, Luo Feng clenched his hand tightly and nearly crushed the small bottle of Water of Life.

Startled, Luo Feng immediately examined the bottle in his hand. Only after carefully confirming that there were no cracks did his heart settle back down.

Thirteen billion Huaxia Currency... He did not even know whether he could earn that much money in his entire life...

Seeing that Luo Feng still had not accepted it and looked as though he wanted to say something but could not, Xu Feng could only speak again to comfort him.

Then, before Luo Feng could refuse, Xu Feng turned and left.

Watching Xu Feng depart, Luo Feng let out a long sigh and could only silently accept it.
