Developing Mist Island

At Wang Cheng's reminder, Luo Feng quickly went home and picked up the full set of equipment he had just bought.

Battle armor, a war blade, and a pile of flying daggers suited for a Mental Master—only after gearing up completely could Luo Feng bring out his full strength and truly live up to the title of Invincible War God!

Once they were fully prepared, Wang Cheng took Luo Feng back to the Australian Continent. This time, ready for anything, Luo Feng headed straight for Mist Island.

Luo Feng was indeed extremely powerful now. His Mental Energy was at the peak of the High-level War God level, which alone made him worthy of the title Invincible War God. Even in close combat, he was no slouch. His physical fitness had barely reached the High-level War God level, and, more importantly, he had cultivated the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade to the sixth level, allowing him to amplify his strength nearly fivefold.

That level of amplification might have been mediocre in the universe, but on Earth, it was already exceptionally high. If Luo Feng's physical fitness reached the peak of the High-level War God level, his close combat would be nearly as strong as his Mental Energy!

Now, Luo Feng returned to Mist Island, armed with a full set of powerful equipment. The countless willow branches that had once forced him to retreat helplessly could no longer stop him. As his flying daggers whirled around him, they sliced through branch after branch, each nearly as hard as Kro Alloy and far more resilient than ordinary metal.

After a fairly easy fight, Luo Feng defeated all the large willow trees at the edge of Mist Island.

Soon, he found the essence within the remains of the willow trees: "Willow Hearts"!

"Willow Hearts?" Luo Feng was pleasantly surprised. He had advanced so rapidly thanks to the Ten Thousand Year Willow Heart Wang Cheng had given him, so he recognized these "Willow Hearts" at a glance.

"But these Willow Hearts feel a little inferior to the one Brother Wang gave me. They must be worth quite a bit less." Luo Feng wasn't discouraged, though. The island was clearly extraordinary, and there might be plenty more plants like these.

Luo Feng put away several Willow Hearts, then cautiously continued deeper into the island.

Just as Luo Feng had expected, he found many other plants that could move. After killing them, he also discovered numerous treasures like the "Willow Hearts."

However, the deeper he went into the island, the more of these plants he encountered. Luo Feng found himself increasingly stretched thin, and his progress slowed.

But what did it matter if he was moving slowly when the place was full of treasures worth a fortune? Luo Feng had already decided to stick it out!

Days passed. In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng had spent seven days on Mist Island.

The many battles had quickly helped Luo Feng adapt to his greatly increased strength, and he had made considerable progress as well. But Wang Cheng, who had been keeping an eye on him, was starting to frown.

Luo Feng had been wandering around here for so long. Babata should have already measured his Brain Domain Width. So why hadn't it handed Hu Yanbo's inheritance over to Luo Feng yet?

"Babata's pretty greedy. Does it think there's still someone on Earth with a greater Brain Domain Width than Luo Feng?" Wang Cheng thought, feeling speechless. If so, would every High-level War God and Planet level expert on Earth have to come here for a look before it would be satisfied?

While Wang Cheng was wondering about this, Luo Feng, who felt he had reached his limit, left Mist Island again and contacted Wang Cheng directly.

Wang Cheng waited a little while, then quickly arrived in front of Luo Feng.

"Brother Wang, these are for you!" Luo Feng handed Wang Cheng several Spirit of Grass and Wood all at once. They were more than enough to repay the money Luo Feng owed him!

"Looks like you found a treasure trove!" Wang Cheng smiled.

"It's on the island up ahead!" Luo Feng didn't hide anything. He could no longer make much headway toward the center of Mist Island. There were too many Spirit of Grass and Wood there, and for now, he could barely protect himself once he went in. In those circumstances, he didn't hesitate to tell Wang Cheng about it.

Unfortunately, Wang Cheng wasn't interested in the island. But after thinking for a moment, he said, "If you can't develop that island any further, I can contact someone to help you. You can have half the treasures we find. How does that sound?"

"Half?" Luo Feng was astonished. He wouldn't even have to do the work, yet he'd still get half the treasures. Could there really be such a good deal?

"Once you break through and become a Beyond War God, come back and all the treasures will be yours. If I give you half now, you'll be the one getting the short end of the stick!" Wang Cheng said with a smile.

"Become a Beyond War God?" Luo Feng shook his head. He was confident, but he didn't think he could break through that bottleneck anytime soon.

"..."

Wang Cheng said nothing more. After smiling, he told Number One to contact Hong.

With the powerful detector Wang Cheng had, contacting Hong was naturally a piece of cake.

Hong had already returned to the Limit Martial Hall headquarters after finding out that Wang Cheng was an "alien." At that moment, he was in the training room, practicing his spear technique.

Suddenly, a Virtual Screen appeared in front of Hong.

"Mr. Wang?"

Hong stopped swinging his spear and looked at the person on the screen in surprise. After leaving Wang Cheng's home last time, Wang Cheng had seemed unwilling to be disturbed. Hong had assumed they wouldn't be in touch again anytime soon. He hadn't expected Wang Cheng to appear out of the blue now!

"Hall Master Hong, I've found a good place. Would you like to come take a look?" Wang Cheng asked.

"A good place?" Hong was slightly startled. He understood that anything an "alien" like Wang Cheng considered a good place had to be extraordinary.

"Where is it, Mr. Wang?" Hong asked seriously.

"The central south of the Australian Continent. I'll send the coordinates to your auxiliary AI in a moment. But there's one thing we should agree on first: you'll have to give half of any treasures you find there to the person who discovered the place," Wang Cheng said.

"The discoverer?" Hong Slightly Nodded. He understood at once that Wang Cheng hadn't discovered the place; someone else had.

Wang Cheng soon ended the call. After thinking for a moment, Hong decided to go take a look himself.

After all, this was the first time the "alien" Wang Cheng had contacted him on his own initiative, so Hong naturally had to take it seriously.

Once he'd made up his mind, Hong quickly brought two of his Three Great Guards, Wild Beast and Ice Mountain, and boarded the only Primordial Warplane on Earth. The plane sped toward the Australian Continent!

Hong was fast. Less than half an hour after Wang Cheng contacted him, he arrived.

"That person is..." Luo Feng watched the three people step down from the aircraft in the distance. His gaze immediately settled on the man in front.

Unlike Wang Cheng, Hong didn't keep a low profile. Although Wang Cheng was a powerful Stellar level expert, he usually kept his aura restrained. After drawing a detector that could conceal his aura, he had even let it do so for him.

But Hong managed the enormous Limit Martial Hall, so he didn't keep his aura completely restrained. When the occasion called for it, he might even use his domain to show off his strength. Of course, he wouldn't do that when meeting Wang Cheng; it would have been an outright provocation.

Even so, Hong couldn't break all his usual habits, and Luo Feng could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary man.

"This is Hong, the head of your Limit Martial Hall," Wang Cheng said with a smile. "Come on, let's go talk to him!"

"Hong?!"

Luo Feng was shocked. But when Wang Cheng stepped forward, Luo Feng hesitated briefly, then hurried after him.

"Mr. Wang!" Hong greeted him, then nodded to Luo Feng as well.

Hong wasn't surprised to see Luo Feng here. When Wang Cheng said the person who had discovered the "good place" was someone else, Hong had guessed it might be Luo Feng.

After all, Hong and Thor had discovered Wang Cheng's identity through Luo Feng's unusual behavior!

Their investigation had also made it clear that Wang Cheng seemed to think especially highly of Luo Feng. Hong and Thor were naturally glad to see it. Wang Cheng wasn't an Earthling, but Luo Feng was one through and through. If Luo Feng could grow quickly under Wang Cheng's guidance, that would be a great thing for Earth!

"Hall Master!" Luo Feng bowed slightly.

"Luo Feng, I've heard your name for a long time!" Hong smiled, then asked, "You're the one who found the 'good place' Mr. Wang mentioned, aren't you?"

"Yes!" Luo Feng nodded.

"That place has a large number of Spirit of Grass and Wood!" Wang Cheng interjected. Sure enough, interest appeared on Hong's face.

Spirit of Grass and Wood, and lots of them?

"Of course, Hong, you're already Planet level sixth order. Some Spirit of Grass and Wood would be useful to you at most for training your juniors," Wang Cheng said with a smile. "But since I specifically asked you to come, I'm confident you won't leave empty-handed!"

"Are there other treasures?" Hong asked.

"Have someone search underground there," Wang Cheng reminded him.

"Underground?" Hong nodded thoughtfully. Then he asked, "Mr. Wang, aren't you interested in the treasure that might be there?"

"If a hundred Earth Coins fell on the ground, would you bend down to pick them up, Hong?" Wang Cheng asked with a smile.

"..."

Hong said nothing, only shook his head. Even if he did pick it up, it would be no more than a casual gesture; it wouldn't be for the sake of the hundred Earth Coins themselves.

"That's all I have to say. What fortune you find is up to you!" Wang Cheng said. Then he turned to Luo Feng and added, "Luo Feng, there's no point in keeping all those Spirit of Grass and Wood. Why not sell them to Hall Master Hong? He has plenty of good things."

"Sure!"

Luo Feng blinked, then nodded. From Wang Cheng's conversation with Hong, he had already learned that the treasures he'd found were called Spirit of Grass and Wood!

Whoosh!

Wang Cheng said nothing more. His figure blurred, and he vanished from the spot.

"Hall Master, what Brother Wang just said..." Luo Feng looked at Hong.

"No rush. Come aboard my aircraft, and we'll talk there." Hong nodded, then led Luo Feng back to his aircraft.
