Recognition from Hong and Lei Shen

Regardless of the circumstances, every pair of eyes was fixed on the cabin door, all anticipating the appearance of the legendary number one powerhouse on Earth, Hong.

Finally, a figure emerged from the cabin. Not a single warrior dared to blink, each one scrutinizing the man who had stepped out.

Hong stood approximately one meter ninety, roughly the same height as Yang Wu.

However, compared to Yang Wu, Hong's aura was unique. At first glance, he resembled a long spear, as if he intended to pierce through the very firmament.

The warriors felt a roar in their minds. The surrounding world seemed to distort, and the sun in the sky vanished from their field of vision.

This was the only domain currently existing on Earth: Hong's Light Domain.

Following him was the bald, monk-like Lei Shen. They walked out one after the other, and every warrior present dared not even draw a full breath.

"Everyone, there is no need for alarm. My coming here with Lei Shen has no ulterior motive," Hong's voice rang out.

Tap, tap.

The faint sound of footsteps echoed like drumbeats.

Clad in black, Hong paced through the air as if stepping down a staircase.

Behind him, the bald, monk-like Lei Shen walked out.

Everyone who witnessed this was struck with awe, not daring to breathe.

Before Hong and Lei Shen, even War Gods became insignificant entities.

Inside the training hall at the Limit Martial Hall Headquarters, Yang Wu, Yang Hui, and the others were chatting about the date for joining the War God Reserve Camp.

Just then, Hong and Lei Shen entered the hall.

Upon seeing the figures of Hong and Lei Shen, the War Gods Yang Hui and Zhou Zhengyong felt no desire to resist; they could not even summon the thought of doing so.

Though War Gods were powerful, in the presence of Hong, their radiance was completely eclipsed.

Suddenly, all the War Gods and Warlords turned their heads. The black-haired man, Hong, was staring directly at Yang Wu.

Yang Wu actually gazed blankly at the black-haired man before him, unable to understand why this world-leading powerhouse was staring at him.

Moreover, upon entering, he seemed quite cordial.

"Yang Wu, you are quite impressive." Hong took a step forward, arriving at Yang Wu's side as if teleporting.

Facing Hong's gaze, even with his vastly increased strength, Yang Wu felt that a single look from this powerful black-haired man could likely kill him.

From Yang Wu's perspective, Hong and Lei Shen were already god-like existences on Earth.

They cared little for worldly affairs. To an ordinary person, they seemed to have no desires, yet they were frantically engaged in hard cultivation.

Pursuing breakthroughs in martial arts, pursuing the limits of the human body—perhaps this was what it meant to be a true warrior.

It had to be said that in terms of martial conviction and mental state, Yang Wu still had a significant gap to bridge compared to them.

"Could you all step outside?" Lei Shen looked at the others.

"Yes." Zhou Zhengyong, Yang Hui, and the rest retreated respectfully.

Although Lei Shen was not the Hall Master of the Limit Martial Hall, his strength was absolute, and they dared not defy him.

Furthermore, while they were somewhat confused, it was clear that Hong and Lei Shen had come specifically for Yang Wu, and they dared not push their luck.

"Sit!" Hong and Lei Shen sat cross-legged on the mats, and Hong gestured toward the mats in front of him.

"Yes."

Yang Wu did not stand on ceremony and sat on one of the mats.

Although Yang Wu was lucky to have obtained the system, the current disparity in their strength was vast.

In the presence of Hong and Lei Shen, the mere influence of their invisible aura forced one to bow their head involuntarily, leaving no room for a thought of resistance.

To think he is someone who has comprehended a domain; it is truly terrifying! Yang Wu's heart churned with massive waves.

In the future, I too must comprehend a domain, and even the Source Law!

After entering the Swallowing the Stars World, Yang Wu's mindset had already changed imperceptibly.

Compared to his previous life, where he had achieved nothing, in this life, he was more willing to risk everything in a fight.

Over the past two months, Yang Wu had poured his heart and soul into the cultivation of his blade technique, movement technique, and the Five Hearts Facing Source Method.

Logically, he might have felt repulsed by such frantic training, as he had been a salted fish in his past life.

However, to his surprise, not only did he not find it dull, but he felt a joy that welled up from within.

The transformation and improvement of his Origin Force and telekinesis, the repeated progress in his blade and movement techniques, the constant practice and breakthroughs of the True Nine-layered Thunder Blade...

Such training was enough to intoxicate anyone, and Yang Wu had long since fallen in love with this feeling of constant self-improvement.

Since he had chosen the path of cultivation, he had to have the courage to strive; this was what made his blood boil and filled him with fighting spirit.

Like Luo Feng, since Yang Wu had lived a second life, he also wanted to pursue the limits of life and constantly transcend himself.

"No wonder he could improve the Nine-layered Thunder Blade; he loves cultivation just as much as we do!" Hong and Lei Shen looked at Yang Wu's mindset and nodded inwardly.

Yang Wu now appeared like a piece of uncarved jade, crystal clear from the inside out, resembling a sky-piercing blade edge possessed of endless fighting spirit.

In truth, before this, they had only viewed Yang Wu as a lucky individual with high talent and comprehension.

But for such a lucky person to achieve greatness, talent and comprehension alone were not enough.

Now that they saw Yang Wu in person, they discovered he was like an uncarved jade, crystal clear from the inside out, and like a sky-piercing blade edge possessed of endless fighting spirit.

Clearly, Yang Wu possessed a level of indomitable spirit that ordinary warriors lacked—a spirit that could not be bent by an iron hammer nor crushed by a raging torrent.

To truly break through the limits of life, one needed such a sky-piercing fighting spirit.

Most of the Planet-level councillors were actually stuck at the first order.

After all, given the bloodline of Earthlings, those who could reach the Planet-level possessed decent talent and comprehension.

Yet, in Hong's view, once they reached the Planet-level, their mindsets shifted, and they became complacent, making it difficult for them to achieve much more.

After a brief comparison, Hong and Lei Shen looked at Yang Wu with a hint of anticipation.

"I had heard of your affairs long ago, but I never expected that our first encounter would provide us with such a great surprise," Hong said with a smile.

"The strength of those two War Gods isn't bad, but their judgment is truly lacking. At the very least, they failed to see that you had improved Lei Shen's Nine-layered Thunder Blade."

"Oh?" Hearing Hong's words, Yang Wu was taken aback.

He had never expected that this strength test would actually alarm Hong and Lei Shen.

And what surprised Yang Wu the most was that they had discovered the clues regarding his Force Exertion Level.

While one should not have the heart to harm others, one must have the heart to defend against them; Yang Wu had indeed been a bit careless.

Fortunately, Yang Wu understood the character of Hong and Lei Shen well enough to know they likely wouldn't make things difficult for him.

But at this moment, having his secret discovered by them, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"We will not pry into your secrets, but we do wish to make a trade with you," Hong said, looking at Yang Wu, whose face had grown somber.
