Chen Hao invited Chu Qiang, Shi Jiang, and Zhao Ruo to Jiang Fang's villa for a meal.

The three were overjoyed when they received the invitation. They had never expected Chen Hao to invite them, much less invite them at the home of the newly appointed Councilor Jiang Fang.

Even after the three left Jiang Fang's home, their heads were still spinning. Chu Qiang had received a 3,000-year-old Ginseng, while Shi Jiang had received a 3,000-year-old Spirit of Grass and Wood Ginseng. Zhao Ruo, meanwhile, had received a 3,000-year-old He Shou Wu Spirit of Grass and Wood.

Though they had never seen such treasures before, they knew Chen Hao would never give them anything ordinary.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Fang, Chen Hao took his intelligent fighter back home to Mingyue Community in Yi'an District, Yangzhou City, Jiangnan Base City.

When the fighter arrived outside Villa No. 198, he suddenly discovered that Villa No. 199 had already been occupied. After asking Xiao Mei to look into it, he found that Luo Feng's family had moved in.

The arrival of the intelligent fighter also drew a large crowd from Mingyue Community to watch.

The moment Chen Hao stepped off the fighter, he heard an astonished cry from the crowd. "Brother Hao?"

Chen Hao swept his gaze over and found Luo Feng. Luo Feng was pushing Luo Hua, who sat in a wheelchair, while Luo Feng's father and mother followed behind them.

Chen Hao smiled at Luo Feng. "Luo Feng, you're here too? Hello, Uncle Luo, Aunt Gong. Xiao Hua, how are your legs?"

"Are you Little Chen?" The elderly couple was utterly shocked.

"Uncle Luo, Aunt Gong, it's me. Don't stand around here. Come on, let's go inside." Chen Hao led Luo Feng's family toward his villa.

Seeing Luo Hua and Luo Feng staring at the fighter, Chen Hao found it amusing. "There's nothing much to see. If you like it, get on later and take it out for a spin."

Luo Feng and Luo Hua's eyes lit up at once. Although Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan kept saying there was no need, they looked quite tempted as well.

The five soon entered Chen Hao's home. After opening the living room door and inviting them to sit down, he asked, "Luo Feng, aren't you still in high school? How did you become a Martial Artist already?"

"Brother Hao, I haven't graduated yet, but I've passed the Quasi-Warrior assessment." Luo Feng spoke with deep sincerity. "If it weren't for that Ginseng you gave me, I'd probably still be working hard at training. My physical fitness has now reached the Intermediate Warrior level, and my punching strength has surpassed 3,000 kilograms."

Chen Hao smiled. "That has little to do with me. Your talent was always there. So when do you plan to take the Warrior Combat Assessment?"

"I'll take the Warrior Combat Assessment on August 1. There are still more than two months left, and I hope to raise my physical fitness to the Advanced Warrior level in those two months." Excitement shone in Luo Feng's eyes.

Looking at the excited Luo Feng, Chen Hao nodded. "In that case, I'll give you two choices. The first is for me to let you reach the strength of a God of War in a short time. The drawback is that you would lose the tempering of the growth process, which might have a huge impact on your future progress. But with that level of ability, you could quickly make Luo Hua stand again. The second is for me to provide you with weapons and equipment, then you grow stronger step by step through your own efforts. Which do you choose?"

Chen Hao's words directly stunned the four of them. Their eyes widened. In their minds, a God of War was an exalted figure, yet Chen Hao spoke of one as if it were something utterly ordinary.

It had to be said that Chen Hao's offer was incredibly tempting. Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan, and Luo Hua in particular were so excited that their bodies trembled.

Even with Luo Feng's temperament, he nearly agreed outright. But he soon restrained his desire. He fiercely bit the tip of his tongue, forcing himself to calm down and clear his head, then looked at Luo Hua with apology in his eyes.

"Brother Hao, I can't keep owing you so many favors." Then he looked at Luo Hua. "Xiao Hua, your brother has wronged you. Let me be selfish this once. Don't worry, I'll definitely make you stand again through my own efforts."

Luo Hua also calmed down. "Brother, you made the right choice. If you had to sacrifice your future martial path to make me stand again, I'd rather remain paralyzed forever!"

"Xiao Feng, Xiao Hua, you..." Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan watched the scene before them, both comforted and heartbroken, their eyes filled with deep helplessness.

Chen Hao looked at the family and nodded. "It seems Luo Feng has already made his choice."

"Sorry, Brother Hao, but I won't choose either path. I'll fight for a future with my own strength." Luo Feng's eyes were full of determination.

Seeing how resolute Luo Feng was, Chen Hao did not try to persuade him further. "In that case, I won't say more." Then a backpack and a wristguard suddenly appeared in his hands. He controlled the two items and sent them flying before Luo Feng. "Touch them with your Mental Power."

After Luo Feng touched the two items with his Mental Power, they swiftly flew onto his body and merged into it.

Luo Feng's eyes widened as he stared at Chen Hao in astonishment. "Brother Hao, wh-what are these?"

Chen Hao waved his hand. "Don't make such a fuss. They're just some things I used before. The medicinal materials inside can support you all the way to the peak of Advanced Warlord Rank. As for resources after that, you'll probably have to obtain them yourself. Let me give you one piece of advice: if you ever enter the Global Elite Training Camp, don't use the resources inside to make breakthroughs."

"Also, don't reveal what I left in the Auxiliary Optical Computer. It would bring you great danger. Once you become a Martial Artist, you'll understand what I mean. I'll say it again: work hard. I'll be waiting ahead of you on the path of Martial Artists."

Luo Feng looked at Chen Hao, somewhat speechless. He remembered that not long ago, Chen Hao had said something similar to him.

But Chen Hao had rapidly grown stronger afterward and left him far behind. Hearing him say those words again made Luo Feng's mouth twitch.

"I left some medicinal materials suitable for Warrior Rank use in that package. Give them to Tong Yun and Yang Wu quietly when the time comes. Once they become Warlord Ranks, I'll give them resources to advance further. You'd better not make a fuss about it."

Luo Feng's family soon left Chen Hao's villa. They did not take the fighter out for a spin after all.

Luo Feng's mind was still a little dazed. Too much had happened today, and he needed time to process it.

After returning home and entering his training room, he began examining the two items Chen Hao had given him.

One was an Auxiliary Intelligent Optical Computer. Luo Feng quickly figured out its functions, and he was amazed to find that he could use it to assess his physical fitness level.

When he saw the pile of items inside the storage space, he was even more shocked. There was a set of S-grade protective armor, an S Blood Shadow Second-Generation Battle Sword, a set of twenty S-Class Flying Knives, and an S-grade Hexagonal Shield. They had clearly been prepared for him.

There were also three sets of A6-grade equipment, including battle swords, protective armor, and Hexagonal Shields. It seemed they had been prepared for him, Yang Wu, and Tong Yun.

He did not dare take out the S-grade equipment in the storage space before he had sufficient strength. If someone killed him and stole his treasures, that would be a joke.

Of course, what amazed him most was the Space Backpack. He had never expected the space inside it to be so large—an entire one hundred cubic meters.

Compared to the backpacks sold by the HR Alliance, they were simply worlds apart.

Luo Feng felt even more grateful to Chen Hao. This favor was far too great; he truly did not know how he could repay it in the future.
