Only three days of preparation were needed before Li Yao, using channels provided by the HR Alliance, arrived on the Australian Continent to participate in a major operation involving most of the world's strong individuals.

Li Yao's strength was not weak, and he also possessed the Black God suit, so he naturally qualified to participate.

Not long after Li Yao arrived on the Australian Continent, he saw Luo Feng.

Facing the "murderer of his son," Li Yao could only choose to ignore him, pretending not to know Luo Feng. But unfortunately, Li Yao didn't know that Luo Feng had already learned many things from Wang Cheng.

Li Yao's pretense of not knowing him at this moment instead made Luo Feng suspicious. Luo Feng quickly confirmed in his heart that Li Yao was indeed targeting him.

For a time, Luo Feng became vigilant. During the subsequent search, he tried his best to act with other warriors from the Limit Martial Hall, avoiding being alone.

Although Luo Feng did not fear Li Yao, he was afraid the other party might resort to underhanded tactics!

Under Luo Feng's caution, Li Yao naturally couldn't find any opportunity. Finally, Li Yao decided to try seeking help from Senior Yan Hai, who had always greatly supported him.

Yan Hai was an old man with slightly graying hair, but his mental state was excellent.

When Li Yao met Yan Hai, he was leisurely sipping tea in a tent near Mist Island.

"Little Vulture, your heart is very troubled!" Yan Hai poured Li Yao a cup of tea and said slowly, "Don't rush, calm your mind first!"

"You've seen my embarrassment, Senior!" Li Yao said, then closed his eyes.

Soon, the aura on Li Yao's body completely calmed down.

Seeing Li Yao adjust his emotions so quickly, Yan Hai secretly nodded. He had always thought highly of Li Yao, and now it seemed Li Yao truly had the hope of breaking through to become a Beyond War God!

"What is it, speak!" Yan Hai said slowly.

"Mm!" Li Yao nodded, then quietly explained his situation and request.

As Li Yao spoke, Yan Hai's originally calm expression became solemn.

"Do you know that the first chairman, Hong, values this Luo Feng you speak of very highly?" Yan Hai asked.

"Senior, I know my request is very excessive, but I have no other choice!" Li Yao continued, "With your strength, Senior, finding an opportunity to kill that Luo Feng would only take an instant. If you are willing to help, Vinina and I will offer all the wealth we have accumulated over the years to you!"

"What can the wealth of you two juniors do?" Yan Hai shook his head.

"."

Li Yao remained silent. He understood that Yan Hai was speaking the truth. Yan Hai, as one of the few powerful individuals among the councillors on Earth, and even an enshrined expert of the HR Alliance, was not lacking in money!

Therefore, Li Yao knew from the beginning that the possibility of him successfully seeking help from Yan Hai was very small. Now that Yan Hai refused, he didn't continue speaking, as he knew nothing more would be useful!

However, just as Li Yao was about to take his leave, Yan Hai suddenly changed his tone. He said slowly, "However, if you can find a time when that Luo Feng is alone in a secluded place, I can help you once!"

"Senior?" Li Yao looked up at Yan Hai, somewhat disbelieving.

"Go!" Yan Hai didn't seem inclined to say more.

"Understood!"

Li Yao nodded and walked out, quite excited.

Although finding Luo Feng alone, and in a very secluded place, would be very difficult, it was still a glimmer of hope.

Suddenly, Li Yao, who had been on the verge of despair, felt the whole world become better.

On the other side, watching Li Yao leave, Yan Hai quietly sipped his tea. As for what he was thinking at that moment, only he himself knew!

With Yan Hai's assurance, Li Yao spent the next period of time secretly observing Luo Feng's movements. But unfortunately, for several days, Li Yao couldn't find an opportunity.

However, soon, a treasure called "Wood Essence Crystal" suddenly appeared, which made the already chaotic underground of Mist Island even more chaotic.

But in Li Yao's opinion, this was a great thing.

Wood Essence Crystal was rumored to allow rapid breakthroughs to the Planet level, so Li Yao was naturally very interested. But at this moment, his "interest" in Luo Feng was greater.

Therefore, although Li Yao appeared to be searching for treasures like everyone else, in reality, he was more focused on secretly watching Luo Feng!

This time, Li Yao felt that heaven was truly on his side. For some reason, Luo Feng, who had been quite cautious, was heading deep underground along an underground river.

Secluded, with no one around, it was truly a perfect spot to strike.

Of course, Li Yao felt that Luo Feng's luck was also quite good, as he noticed Luo Feng seemed to be picking up many Wood Essence Crystals along the way.

Without hesitation, Li Yao directly contacted Yan Hai. Moreover, to increase the appeal, Li Yao specifically emphasized that Luo Feng seemed to have picked up many Wood Essence Crystals.

Although Yan Hai had promised Li Yao before, he was currently in a critical period of searching for Wood Essence Crystals and was initially unwilling to go. After all, no promise could compare to the preciousness of Wood Essence Crystals that could potentially allow him to break through to Planet level three!

But when Yan Hai heard Li Yao say that Luo Feng seemed to have picked up many Wood Essence Crystals, he immediately changed his mind!

"Are you sure he picked up many Wood Essence Crystals?" Yan Hai quickly asked.

"Senior, that Luo Feng is a Mental Master. I didn't dare get too close, but I smelled the aroma of rice from afar multiple times. He must have picked up Wood Essence Crystals!" Li Yao said quickly.

"Good, wait for me to come over!" Yan Hai made his decision immediately.

"."

Li Yao waited anxiously on the spot for a moment. Soon, Yan Hai, fully encased in the Black God suit, arrived.

At this time, Yan Hai had deliberately adjusted his physique. Coupled with his entire body being covered by the Black God suit, even those most familiar with him would not recognize this person as Yan Hai.

"Where is he?" Yan Hai asked in a hoarse voice.

"It's right below!" Li Yao suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a deep voice.

"Follow me!"

Yan Hai nodded and immediately flew rapidly downwards. Seeing this, Li Yao naturally followed without hesitation.

A moment later, the two arrived in a huge underground space. It resembled a cave, but it was empty. As for Luo Feng's figure, there wasn't even a trace of him!

"Why isn't he here?" Li Yao couldn't believe it.

"Search!"

Yan Hai didn't panic and said calmly.

"Okay!" Li Yao nodded, and then the two began to search the cave cautiously.

Unbeknownst to Li Yao and Yan Hai, in the center of this vast cave, there was a cloaked spaceship. Luo Feng was currently inside this spaceship. In fact, Luo Feng was able to arrive here without deviation entirely due to the guidance of the intelligent life, Babata, within the spaceship.

And at this moment, Luo Feng had already met Babata!

A few days ago, Hong had just educated Luo Feng about the universe, refreshing his worldview. Now, Babata had brought him a new worldview.

The vast universe unfolded before Luo Feng. Even with his strong capacity for acceptance, he felt a bit dizzy.

At the same time, in Mingyue Community, Jiangnan Base City, Huaxia Country--

"Finally, I'm in. It was worth my guidance!" Wang Cheng leaned back on the sofa and sighed deeply.

In fact, Wang Cheng had been having Number One monitor everything happening near Mist Island. With Number One's detection capabilities, nothing that occurred there could escape Wang Cheng's eyes.

Babata was truly dragging his feet. Wang Cheng had practically delivered Luo Feng to his doorstep, yet he had taken so long to decide to make Luo Feng Hu Yanbo's successor.

"Next, I just need to wait for Luo Feng to return," Wang Cheng mused silently.

However, just then, Wang Cheng seemed to sense something and suddenly looked towards Jiang Mingyue's room.

"Good things come in pairs?" Wang Cheng was somewhat surprised but didn't hesitate. He quickly went to Jiang Mingyue's room, pushed the door open, and walked in.

At this moment, the large cocoon that had tightly wrapped Jiang Mingyue earlier had begun to show faint cracks. Under Wang Cheng's gaze, these cracks multiplied.

Finally--

Bang!

The purple cocoon shattered completely, and a curled-up figure appeared in Wang Cheng's sight.

Jiang Mingyue's appearance was still largely that of an Earthling. The only significant difference was that her ears had become much sharper, and two pairs of somewhat transparent wings had appeared on her back.

These two pairs of wings were small, each less than half a meter long. Wang Cheng guessed they weren't meant for flight.

"."

At this moment, Jiang Mingyue also opened her eyes.

"Brother Cheng!" The first person Jiang Mingyue saw was Wang Cheng, who was looking at her.

She unfurled her curled body and quickly stood up.

"It seems I must congratulate you. You've gained both power and beauty!" Wang Cheng glanced at Jiang Mingyue and said with some admiration.

"Beauty?" Jiang Mingyue was slightly stunned.

"You'll know when you look in the mirror later!" Wang Cheng chuckled. "Change your clothes, I'll wait for you downstairs!"

"Okay!"

Jiang Mingyue nodded. Wang Cheng didn't linger and quickly left.

After Wang Cheng left, Jiang Mingyue didn't rush to look in the mirror. Instead, she began to sense the power within her body.

"Such powerful strength." Jiang Mingyue clenched her fist slightly and couldn't help but throw a punch into the empty space.

Boom!

A gust of wind erupted from her fist, and instantly, a large hole appeared in the wall beside her.

"You have to pay for the wall repairs!" Wang Cheng's voice came from downstairs.

"Got it!" Jiang Mingyue replied absentmindedly, looking at her fist, lost in thought for a long time.
