Yi'an District, Military Recuperation Community.
"Madman, look over here!"
Luo Feng had just stepped out of the Military Recuperation Community and was about to take out his phone to call home with the good news, so his family would no longer worry about him.
At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly called out.
He looked toward the sound and saw Yang Wu leaning beneath a large willow tree outside the community fence, enjoying the shade. A black SUV was parked beside him.
From the look of it, he had clearly been waiting for quite some time.
"Brother Yang?"
Luo Feng's eyes lit up. He put away his phone and immediately walked over. Since Yang Wu had come, it was obvious that his family had called him.
"You did pretty well, kid. Congratulations!"
Yang Wu's meaningful congratulations left Luo Feng somewhat baffled. Had his awakened spiritual telekinesis been discovered?
He still was not entirely sure whether that power to manipulate objects from a distance was truly spiritual telekinesis.
After all, from childhood to now, he had only ever seen one spiritual telekinetic.
That person had been Chief Instructor Wu Tong's captain, the mysterious silver-haired man in black robes.
"Brother Yang, sorry to trouble you." Luo Feng thanked Yang Wu.
"Haha, what's there to trouble me over? Even without me, wouldn't you have come out safe and sound anyway?"
Yang Wu was calm inside. Just as he had said, whether he came or not, Luo Feng would have been fine.
He had come only because he wanted to.
That was all!
"Yesterday, your younger brother called me and said the detention center people had taken you away!"
"However, by the time we got to the detention center, you had already been sent to this Military Recuperation Community."
"Seeing how healthy you look, I knew you were fine."
Yang Wu patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, then walked toward the driver's seat of the SUV.
"Come on, let's head back first!"
Although this was the Base City Era, transportation within the city was not much different from before the Great Nirvana—private cars, taxis, buses...
Pretty much everything was still around.
Of course, the SUV Yang Wu was driving did not belong to him. It was an official vehicle of the Limit Hall. More importantly...
The guy was driving without a license!
However, with his neural reaction speed and Advanced Warrior Level physique, he could easily force his way out of any accident.
Besides, Yang Wu drove very slowly.
"You already know who was behind the people at the detention center arranging for someone to attack you, right?"
Inside the SUV, Yang Wu turned down the car music and glanced at Luo Feng, who sat distractedly in the passenger seat.
"Ah! Yeah."
Luo Feng was still thinking about spiritual telekinesis and hesitating over whether to tell Yang Wu. His train of thought was abruptly interrupted.
When he left the Military Recuperation Community, the people from the Yi'an District detention center had already told him everything about the mastermind and the whole sequence of events.
"Then what do you plan to do? Settle it privately, or handle it officially..."
"I..."
Luo Feng really wanted Zhang Haobai to be taken away by the Jiangnan Base City Security Bureau and locked up for ten or twenty years.
But the other side had a Martial Warrior uncle, so he could not afford to completely burn that bridge.
Should he accept a private settlement and demand a huge sum of compensation? Or confront Zhang Zehu head-on and send Zhang Haobai to prison?
To be honest, Luo Feng still did not know what to choose, but between the two, he leaned more toward a private settlement.
"Hehe..."
Yang Wu chuckled. Seeing Luo Feng like this, he immediately understood what he was thinking.
After all, Luo Feng at this stage had not yet fully developed that decisive, ruthless character he would have later on.
For the sake of his family, he would inevitably act more cautiously.
Of course, that was only as long as no one crossed his bottom line. Otherwise, no matter who they were, he would kill them all the same.
The arrogant Li Wei he encountered later was a living example.
Two days later, Luo Feng went to the martial hall to test his strength and was discovered by the waiting Instructor Jiang Nian.
Immediately afterward, he was taken to the Limit Main Hall. After passing the assessment, he was signed by Supervisor Zhuge Tao and entered the Limit Martial Hall ahead of schedule.
On the third day, Luo Feng's family moved into Mingyue Community with bags large and small, settling into Villa No. 199.
The Yang and Luo families officially became neighbors.
From then on, time seemed to have hit the fast-forward button, and soon the day of the Martial Warrior Combat Exam arrived.
August 1st, Martial Warrior Combat Exam.
Early in the morning, Yang Wu arrived at the first-floor lobby of the Limit Hall. At that moment, seven or eight Quasi-Warriors had already gathered inside.
Since the exam site was outside the base city, all Quasi-Warriors taking the exam in Yangzhou City had to gather at the Limit Hall beforehand.
They would then take the train together to the combat exam site.
Yang Wu found a corner, leaned against the wall, and narrowed his eyes as he waited for the assembly time.
"Brother Yang, you came so early?"
A familiar greeting sounded by his ear. Yang Wu knew who it was without even opening his eyes.
Still, out of courtesy, he opened them. Looking at Luo Feng, who had come up before him, Yang Wu said flatly,
"I've waited a long time for this day."
Though it carried a faint air of showing off, Yang Wu was indeed speaking from the heart.
Ever since his awakening on April 28th, he had been waiting for this day. After the combat exam, his true rise to greatness would begin.
Yang Wu possessed the Extract the Future talent. As long as he had enough time, he could grow into a top-tier powerhouse.
Whether he lay at home or journeyed through the stars.
Movement techniques, spear techniques, combat insights, battle awareness, domains, even later insights into laws... Yang Wu could easily extract through simulation what others had to fight desperately for.
However, opportunities such as secret techniques, manuals, special treasures, heavy treasures, and supreme treasures required illusory luck.
And luck was fickle and impossible to grasp. It had to be left to fate.
Rely on time and sheer number of attempts?
Heh...
It was not impossible, but the pace of Earth's storyline was too fast. From Luo Feng's rise onward, only a few years passed in total.
What the hell could he develop in that little time?
Before long, the assembly time arrived. The Quasi-Warriors preparing to take the Martial Warrior Combat Exam had all gathered in the first-floor lobby.
Then, led by a Martial Warrior from the Limit Hall, more than thirty Quasi-Warriors, including Yang Wu and Luo Feng, headed together to the train station.
The entire Jiangnan Base City was divided into the main urban district and eight major Wei Cities.
The main urban district lay at the center of the base city, while the eight major Wei Cities surrounded it in defense.
Between the main urban district and the Wei Cities, as well as between the Wei Cities themselves, certain geographical conditions had left portions of Wilderness Area.
Although these Wilderness Areas were not as terrifying as those outside the base city, ordinary people who entered them still risked their lives.
Therefore, only trains could shoulder the responsibility of connecting the base city while ensuring the safety of ordinary people's travel.
