Heading to Australia

Under Wang Cheng's gaze, Luo Feng used a flying dagger to cut through the surface of the Ten Thousand Year Willow Heart, then drank all the essence inside in one go.

"How wonderful!"

Luo Feng dropped onto the sofa. Feeling the warmth spread through his body, he couldn't help closing his eyes.

"."

Wang Cheng wasn't in a hurry. He simply waited quietly nearby for Luo Feng to complete his transformation.

After all, Luo Feng's physical foundation had only just reached the level of a mid-level General. Increasing his physical abilities six to tenfold all at once would take more than a little while to complete.

Seven or eight hours later, Luo Feng finally opened his eyes, feeling as if he'd been gone for ages. Then he managed to break Wang Cheng's sofa in half.

He also left a huge crater in the floor.

"Sorry about that, Brother Wang!" Luo Feng said awkwardly. His strength seemed to have increased far too much; with his Nine Heavens Thunder Blade at the sixth level, he couldn't quite control it yet.

Of course, that was only temporary. In fact, even among High-level War Gods, few had mastered the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade to the sixth level. Once Luo Feng got a little more used to his new strength, he should be able to control it before long!

"It's fine. A greater increase in strength is a good thing!" Wang Cheng smiled, then asked, "How do you feel?"

"I've never felt better!" Luo Feng said, a little excited. The golden sphere in his mind had completely shattered, and in its place was his Mental Energy—

Luo Feng didn't have a precise idea of its strength yet, but he suspected it had reached the peak of the High-level War God level. One more step would make him a Beyond War God!

Of course, taking that next step would be incredibly difficult. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few Beyond War Gods in the entire world!

"Good!"

Wang Cheng nodded slightly. At the same time, he quietly had Number One check Luo Feng's current physical abilities.

"So his physical abilities are barely at the High-level War God level, while his Mental Energy is at the peak of the High-level War God level?" Wang Cheng now had a clear picture. Luo Feng was more than ready to venture into the Australian Continent!

"Luo Feng, this sudden increase in strength will affect your future progress, so I suggest you go fight some monsters right away to consolidate your foundation!" Wang Cheng said with a smile.

"Of course, you'll also need to hunt monsters and pay me back the three hundred billion as soon as possible!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Wang Cheng mention the three hundred billion, Luo Feng naturally didn't refuse. He nodded, then said, "Don't worry, Brother Wang. I'll get ready and head to the Wilderness Area right away!"

"The Wilderness Area?" Wang Cheng shook his head and asked, "How many monsters do you think you'll find there that can fight you at your current strength? If you steamroll all of them, you won't get any training out of it. And if you only make money by hunting low-level monsters, how long will it take you to repay my three hundred billion?"

"That's true." Luo Feng nodded in agreement. After thinking for a moment, he added, "Besides, I suddenly became much stronger. I can't let that get out, or I won't be able to explain it."

After the one-trillion bounty incident, Luo Feng had clearly become more cautious. The first thing he thought of now was to hide what had happened. That was understandable. If he'd obtained the Ten Thousand Year Willow Heart through official channels, he wouldn't have needed to hide it. But Wang Cheng had given it to him. Luo Feng probably thought Wang Cheng wanted to keep his identity secret, so he planned to keep quiet as well.

After all, if he didn't reveal Wang Cheng, there was no way he could explain his situation!

"Who said you need to hide it? If anyone asks, ignore those weaker than you. If someone stronger asks, just tell them I gave you a treasure." Wang Cheng smiled, then continued:

"Also, I know a place that's remote and uninhabited, with plenty of high-level monsters. It'll be perfect for training."

"There's a place like that?" Luo Feng looked at Wang Cheng in surprise.

"Come with me!"

Wang Cheng stood up and headed straight out of the villa.

"."

Luo Feng followed curiously. Once they were outside, Wang Cheng placed a hand on Luo Feng's shoulder.

"Use your Mental Energy to protect yourself!" Wang Cheng's voice rang in Luo Feng's ear. Then the two of them shot straight into the sky.

Wang Cheng now had an Advanced Detector, so he flew without any reservations. He didn't want anyone to see him; even if he stood right in front of someone, they wouldn't be able to see him!

So even though the two of them took off from Mingyue Community, no one noticed a thing.

The distance from Jiangnan Base City to Australia was more than six thousand kilometers. Luo Feng was only a High-level War God, after all. If they flew too fast, even with Wang Cheng helping him withstand the pressure, Luo Feng probably wouldn't be able to take it. So Wang Cheng didn't fly at full speed; they traveled at about one hundred kilometers per second.

About a minute later, the two of them arrived in Australia.

"Brother Wang, where are we?"

Looking at the vast plain before him, Luo Feng couldn't help rubbing his dizzy head. His Mental Energy had been overtaxed on the way, and he still hadn't fully recovered.

Come to think of it, it was fortunate he was a Mental Master. He could use Mental Energy to form a cone-shaped shield capable of withstanding atmospheric pressure. If he'd been a pure Warrior, he would probably have been torn apart at that speed!

"This is Australia!"

Wang Cheng understood Luo Feng's condition, but the strain would do him no harm now that his Mental Energy had surged.

"Australia?" Luo Feng's eyes widened. His dizzy head suddenly cleared. A minute ago, he'd been in Jiangnan Base City, and now he was in Australia?

Just how fast had they been going? No wonder he'd nearly felt himself being torn apart!

"Australia is a monster's paradise, with no humans living here! And it's full of high-level Lord monsters. This is the perfect place for you to train!" Wang Cheng said with a smile, then added:

"You don't need to worry about things back home. I'll explain everything for you. If you want to go back, just call me and I'll come get you!"

"This..."

Luo Feng was a little overwhelmed by Wang Cheng's arrangements. At the same time, he had a vague sense that Wang Cheng had planned all of this long ago.

"Brother Wang, can I ask what kind of person you really are?" In the end, all the questions in Luo Feng's mind came down to those words.

Luo Feng had suspected things about Wang Cheng's identity before, but they'd only been guesses. Now Wang Cheng had taken him flying at an incredible speed, and all those suspicions had become facts. Naturally, Luo Feng's curiosity surged.

"You'll have to find out for yourself. Haha!" Wang Cheng laughed, then vanished from in front of Luo Feng.

"I have to find out for myself?" Luo Feng stared at the empty space ahead and shook his head.

Wang Cheng hadn't actually left. He was still above the Australian Continent, keeping a close eye on Luo Feng's every move.

The detector Wang Cheng was using now was far more advanced than the one Hu Yanbo had left behind. So even if he was right nearby, Babata, the Intelligent life, couldn't detect him as long as he didn't want to be found.

Wang Cheng had also stayed because he wanted to guide Luo Feng to discover Hu Yanbo's spaceship.

The Australian Continent was enormous. Relying on Luo Feng's luck alone, who knew when he'd find any trace of that spaceship?

Relying on Babata wasn't a sure thing, either. According to Swallowed Star, the range within which Babata could detect people's Brain Domain Width wasn't very large. Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately created a Beast Emperor and scattered a pile of Wood Essence Crystals to lure Earth's powerhouses over.

Under the circumstances, if he wanted Luo Feng to inherit Hu Yanbo's legacy as soon as possible, Wang Cheng naturally had to guide him.

Luo Feng had no idea Wang Cheng was watching him. After arriving on the Australian Continent, he began hunting carefully.

Luo Feng was indeed strong now, but he didn't have a suitable weapon. The only flying daggers he had were ones he'd used back when he was at the General level. Using daggers like those to kill Lord-level monsters was laughable!

This left Luo Feng at an enormous disadvantage against monsters of immense size.

At first, Luo Feng had worried about this. But after killing two low-level Lord monsters in succession, his confidence began to soar.

Unfortunately, just as his confidence started to rise, two high-level Lord monsters appeared from who knew where and chased him deep into the Australian Continent. Fortunately, Luo Feng could fly. Otherwise, unarmed and facing two high-level Lord monsters at once, he would have had a hard time coming out on top. Warriors could manage, but a Mental Master without a weapon was in a genuinely tough spot!

Hunted by high-level Lord monsters and finding traces of other Lord-level monsters to pursue, Luo Feng was driven deeper and deeper into the Australian Continent.

Before long, he found a small island shrouded in dense fog.

"There seems to be something underwater!" Luo Feng stood on a flying dagger and stared at the river surrounding the island, alarmed.

Without thinking too much about it, Luo Feng then planned to enter the island and investigate. But before he could get far, a series of dark shapes came whistling out of the fog.

"What?" Luo Feng's pupils contracted. He instantly used his Mental Energy to control countless clumps of soil, forming layer upon layer of protective barriers. With his current Mental Energy, reinforced by it, these earthen walls were strong enough to withstand an ordinary mid-level Lord's charge. Unfortunately, the walls were pierced in an instant by the dark shapes!

There was no helping it. The soil was too poor a material to bring out the full extent of Luo Feng's strength.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Luo Feng nimbly dodged the dark shapes as they attacked.

Sensing the danger, Luo Feng didn't stay on the island any longer. He quickly flew out of its bounds!

"Were those willow branches that attacked me just now?" Luo Feng wondered, thinking it over. At the same time, he vaguely realized that he might have found a good place.

During the Great Calamity, Luo Feng had only heard of animals becoming monsters, never plants. But the thing that had just attacked him was a willow tree, and its strength was at least equal to that of a high-level Lord. In terms of rarity alone, a plant like that would be valuable, wouldn't it?
