Devouring the Starry Sky: Cultivation Makes Me Stronger — Chapter 26

There would be at least one more chapter tonight.

If I was in good form, then two chapters!

Everyone, give me some support—click to read the latest chapters! Old Luo thanks you!

In Manager Fang's office on the twenty-first floor of the HR Alliance building.

"Money and goods have both been delivered!"

With a flattering smile on his round face, the elderly man pushed a combination case toward Luo Shen. "You can check first to see if everything inside is complete."

For a genius warrior like Luo Shen, who could kill a Beginner Lord Level monster at such a young age, no one knew how far he might go in the future.

This was also one of the reasons the three managers had chosen to make these two deals.

If they did not befriend Luo Shen while he was still weak, then once he became a God of War warrior—or even surpassed the God of War level—they would have no way to build a relationship with him.

"Thank you." Luo Shen accepted the case.

He laid the case flat on the table. It was a fingerprint-locked case, and Luo Shen swiped his finger across it.

"Beep! Fingerprint verification successful."

An electronic synthesized voice sounded, followed by a click as the case opened.

The case was large.

It was divided into two layers. The upper layer contained neatly stacked combat suits, the Ghost Shadow Battle Blade, a shield, a communication watch, and a series of other items. Luo Shen merely glanced over them before taking them all out and setting them aside.

The lower layer contained only a wooden box.

Luo Shen opened it and saw a thick manual and a large stack of discs inside. Four large words were written on the cover of the manual—"Nine Heavens Thunder Blade."

Of course, only the first six levels were included.

Among the accompanying discs, only one featured Thunder God personally teaching the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.

As for the rest, the overwhelming majority were videos of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade practitioners training with their blades or using the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade to fight monsters.

Looking at the manual in his hands, Luo Shen thought, I originally planned to buy only the first five levels. Since the money from hunting monsters is enough, I might as well buy the sixth level too.

For a while, Luo Shen would not need to worry about the later portions of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade manual.

As for the final three levels of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade—

Once Luo Shen reached the Elite Training Camp and displayed enough potential, plenty of forces would naturally be willing to pay for a complete copy of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade manual for him.

Besides.

Once he mastered the first six levels of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, it was hard to say whether he would still need to rely on the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade at all.

After verifying that everything was correct, Luo Shen stuffed everything except the battle blade back into the case. He then turned to the round-faced elder and smiled. "Manager Fang, there's no problem with the items. My family is waiting for me to go home for dinner, so we'll be leaving first."

The round-faced elder beamed. "You're welcome to come again anytime."

The three managers were quite enthusiastic. They escorted the two of them all the way downstairs and only returned to the office after watching them board the Limitless Martial Arts Academy car and leave.

After leaving the HR Alliance building.

The Limitless Martial Arts Academy car took the two of them directly to the train station. They planned to take the train back to Yangzhou City.

Inside the waiting room.

"Shen, why did you start buying the later portions of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade manual?" Luo Feng casually asked.

He had actually wanted to ask back at the HR Alliance building, but the time and place had not been appropriate, so he had waited until now to bring it up.

Luo Shen grinned at Luo Feng.

Then Luo Shen stood up, loosened his muscles and bones, and suddenly threw a punch.

Boom! Though he had not punched with his full strength, Luo Feng had sharp eyesight and immediately saw that Luo Shen was using the force-generation method of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade—and it was the fourth level!

"You brat, when did you master the fourth level?"

Luo Feng was stunned!

Good heavens, what kind of monster was his junior brother?

Luo Feng himself was a genius. Ever since he had been a martial arts academy student, he had already been a renowned prodigy. At sixteen, he became an intermediate student; at seventeen, an advanced student; and at eighteen, he became a Prospective Warrior.

Now, at nineteen, he was already a well-known "madman" in warrior circles!

Among his peers, Luo Feng's performance had already been exceptionally outstanding!

But comparisons were enough to drive a person mad.

Compared to Luo Shen, he had simply been crushed into dust!

"Shen, you... you're just too freakish!" For a moment, Luo Feng could not even think of an adjective to describe Luo Shen. This talent was simply too terrifying!

Forget Jiangnan City.

Even in the Elite Training Camp at the global headquarters, there were probably only a few whose talent could compare to Luo Shen's.

"This time, you'll definitely get into the Elite Training Camp," Luo Feng said.

Silence.

No response came even after a long while.

Luo Feng suddenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He looked up and saw Luo Shen staring fixedly at the entrance to the waiting room. "What is it, Shen?"

As he spoke, he followed Luo Shen's gaze.

A terrifying, murderous aura crashed over them.

The oppressive sensation made Luo Shen feel as though blades were pressing against his back!

The gloomy-faced middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared at the waiting room entrance was staring at him intently, exerting immense pressure on him. Looking closely, the man even bore some resemblance to Li Wei.

This was bad!

Intense killing intent filled the gloomy man's eyes as he asked in a low voice, "Was it you who killed my son?"

Luo Shen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He spoke quietly to Luo Feng, who still had no idea what was going on. "Senior Brother, call the supervisor. Li Yao is here!"

Luo Feng's pupils contracted.

Just as he was about to say something, Luo Shen smashed straight through the wall of the waiting room and charged outside.

"Shen..." Luo Feng reached out, wanting to say something.

The middle-aged man merely shot Luo Feng a cold glance before chasing after Luo Shen without looking back. Right now, catching the murderer who had killed his son was what mattered most to him!

Luo Feng finally reacted and hurriedly dialed Zhuge Tao's number.

That middle-aged man had to be Li Yao!

Although he had no idea why Li Yao had mistaken Luo Shen for Li Wei's killer while leaving the real killer standing right beside him, Luo Feng knew very well that Luo Shen had acted to protect him.

"Pick up, come on, pick up!" Luo Feng waited anxiously.

A life was at stake!

The only one who could save Luo Shen now was Zhuge Tao!

*********

Before coming here, Li Yao had not believed that Luo Shen possessed the strength to kill his son, Li Wei.

After all, according to their information, Luo Shen had only become a martial artist recently, and this was his first time entering the Wilderness Area. Though he had some talent for exerting force with his body, it was impossible for him to have grown strong enough in such a short time to instantly kill three High-level Warlords.

But Vinina had told him that Luo Shen had just sold the materials from a Beginner Lord Level monster!

Moreover, the materials were remarkably complete and had clearly come from the same monster!

What did that mean?

It meant that Luo Shen either had the strength to kill a Beginner Lord Level monster, or he knew a friend capable of doing so and had sold the materials on that person's behalf.

But regardless of which possibility it was, it was highly likely to be connected to his son Li Wei's death!

It had to be said that Li Yao's ability to make connections was quite something. Things that had originally seemed completely unrelated had actually been linked together by him into a single thread of clues.

Especially Luo Shen's burst of speed just now—it convinced Li Yao that he was the culprit!

If it wasn't you, then why did you run?

Looks like I'm in pretty good form today.

Let's see if I can manage another chapter.
