Luo Feng's Trouble

There was no doubt that battles between warriors were incredibly dangerous. Every moment was filled with flashing blades and hidden threats!

So the fight ended in less than half a minute.

The woman fighting alone lost, and she lost badly!

In less than half a minute, she had been left with numerous cuts from flying daggers.

With no other choice, she could only flee in disarray.

The outcome didn't surprise Wang Cheng. The woman was strong, but her opponents were no pushovers either—and they were a well-coordinated team. How could she win under those circumstances?

"Hm?"

At that moment, Wang Cheng frowned slightly. The foreign team had just claimed ownership of the Shadow Wolf, but they still weren't planning to let things end there.

Two tall, burly white men from the team had already given chase. It looked like they meant to kick her while she was down!

Since we're all from China, I'll give you a hand! Wang Cheng thought. Then, without a sound, he unfurled his domain.

Vast amounts of gene energy surged out of Wang Cheng's body, and the sky above quickly darkened.

Rumble!

A series of thunderclaps rang out, and under the flashes of lightning, most of City No. 003 lit up.

The sudden thunderclaps made many warriors and monsters in City No. 003 look up at the sky in alarm.

Of course, they only looked. There was no way they could discover anything.

On the road where the woman had just fled, the two white men stood frozen in place, not daring to move.

The reason was simple: those two bolts of lightning had appeared right above them, striking less than a hundred meters in front of them.

The scorched ground ahead was now clear proof that what had just happened wasn't a hallucination. It had really happened.

Even though the two white men knew there was nothing up ahead, neither dared to move forward. After all, who knew whether another bolt of lightning might strike?

And in the time they hesitated, the woman had already used the complicated terrain to get away!

"Fu*k..."

They exchanged a glance and cursed fluently in their native language. Then, grumbling, they turned back.

Meanwhile, Wang Cheng, who had just casually intervened in someone else's business, had returned to the residential building where he'd been staying.

Those two sudden bolts of lightning might have seemed simple, but they were actually the result of Wang Cheng's month-long study of the laws.

After a month of study, Wang Cheng couldn't claim to have grasped even a trace of the laws, but it wasn't as if he'd gained nothing.

What were the laws?

A month ago, Wang Cheng had been completely clueless. Now, after a month of sensing them, he had gained quite a few insights.

In Wang Cheng's view, the laws were the rules governing the universe's operation. The limit speed of light, the reason lightning formed, the way planets moved... All of these fell within the laws.

The Lightning Law encompassed everything!

After sensing the Lightning Law for a month, Wang Cheng had gained a vague understanding of how to create lightning. If he had to come up with something himself now, he figured he could write a manual called the Lightning Summoning Technique.

Whether the manual was any good or not, it was still progress compared to Wang Cheng knowing nothing a month ago.

That only strengthened Wang Cheng's resolve to keep comprehending the laws this way.

Of course, Wang Cheng understood that with a manual to guide him, he could comprehend the laws a hundred or even a thousand times faster. But if he relied solely on the Opportunity Grasping System and left everything to chance, he had no idea when he might obtain a manual. That was why he chose this approach rather than waste time.

And the facts proved that although this method was clumsy, it was at least much better than doing nothing!

To Wang Cheng, the fight between the two groups of warriors was just a little amusement in the middle of his dull cultivation. He hadn't given it a second thought.

Before long, August arrived.

Since Wang Cheng had left a clone in Mingyue Community, he had stayed in touch with Luo Feng.

On August 1, after a month of training, Luo Feng, who had moved into the Warrior Community ahead of time, set off to take the Quasi-Warrior practical assessment.

The next day, Luo Feng returned, having successfully become an official warrior.

For Luo Feng's family, it was a joyous occasion, so of course they had to celebrate.

That evening, the clone Wang Cheng had left behind was invited to Luo Feng's home, where they celebrated in grand style!

Ever since Wang Cheng had hosted Luo Feng's whole family on the first day they moved to Mingyue Community, the two families had grown closer and closer.

An occasion this joyous naturally called for Wang Cheng to be there.

And Wang Cheng was quite happy to celebrate with Luo Feng. As he'd said before, although he no longer deliberately sought to befriend Luo Feng, Luo Feng was still a young man with plenty of admirable qualities. It was hard not to like him, so naturally Wang Cheng had no objection to spending time with him.

Another day passed. Early that morning, Wang Cheng saw someone in a Limit Martial Hall headquarters uniform hand a metal box to Luo Feng.

To confirm his suspicions, Wang Cheng pretended he was heading out and "happened" to run into Luo Feng, who was just turning to go back home.

"Hey, Luo Feng!" Wang Cheng walked over and greeted him.

"Brother Wang, heading out?" Luo Feng smiled.

"Nothing in particular. I just felt like taking a walk. What's that, a manual you bought?" Wang Cheng glanced at the manual in Luo Feng's hand. Sure enough, it was the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade!

"I'd heard you were a genius, Luo Feng, but I didn't expect you to be able to afford this. The Limit Martial Hall must really value you!" Wang Cheng said with a sigh.

"I've heard the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade is very difficult to master. I only bought it to give it a try," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Mm, it is difficult. But you made the right choice. If you're going to practice a technique, you might as well practice the best one!" Wang Cheng nodded without batting an eye. Then he added:

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can come ask me. I know a thing or two about the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade!"

"Brother Wang, you know the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade?" A hint of surprise appeared on Luo Feng's face.

"Don't underestimate me!"

A mysterious smile appeared on Wang Cheng's face.

In truth, Wang Cheng had no record of redeeming the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade on Earth. If that were discovered, it could cause some trouble. According to the rules of the Limit Martial Hall, one absolutely wasn't allowed to practice a manual one hadn't redeemed.

But Wang Cheng didn't care about a little trouble like that.

He was now at Planet level eighth order, with a gene level ten times that of Earthlings, and he had mastered the Lightning Domain. On Earth, he was practically a copy of the Kinkaku Giant Beast.

Wang Cheng might have kept a low profile, but that didn't mean he was afraid of anything. If necessary, he didn't mind baring his fangs.

As Wang Cheng and Luo Feng talked, another voice suddenly called out from a distance.

"Luo Feng, Wang Cheng!"

Wang Cheng turned to look. The newcomer was a middle-aged man with long, loose hair. It was Wu Tong, an important figure in Yangzhou City.

Yangzhou City had twelve Limit Martial Halls and one Limitless Martial Arts Hall. Wu Tong was the master of that sole Limitless Martial Arts Hall.

"Hall Master Wu!" Wang Cheng greeted him.

"Uncle Wu!" Luo Feng greeted him as well.

"Good, you're both here!" Wu Tong walked over, looked at them, and said.

"Is something the matter, Uncle Wu?" Luo Feng asked.

"Let's talk about Wang Cheng first." Wu Tong looked at Wang Cheng and asked, "I heard you left your squad?"

"That's right!"

Wang Cheng nodded without hesitation, then added, "I've been feeling a little tired lately, so I want to take a break."

"You've already been sitting at home for three months, and you're still tired?" Wu Tong said regretfully.

"Your squad was an elite squad. How could you bear to leave? At your age, if you keep training, becoming a General-level warrior one day is practically a sure thing."

I can train an ordinary clone to Apprentice Tier 4 in ten minutes now!

Wang Cheng grumbled inwardly, but said nothing. The changes he'd undergone weren't something he could explain to outsiders, and he understood that Hall Master Wu was only saying this for his own good.

But Wang Cheng definitely wouldn't join another squad now. His ten clones were out killing monsters in City No. 003, and a squad would only hold him back!

"Hall Master Wu, let's talk about my situation later. Let's talk about Luo Feng first!" Wang Cheng changed the subject, then asked, "You don't visit without a reason. Has Luo Feng run into some trouble?"

"It's not really trouble. Here's what happened." Seeing Wang Cheng take that attitude, Wu Tong had no choice but to talk about Luo Feng for the time being.

Wang Cheng listened quietly. Sure enough, Wu Tong was talking about Zhang Haobai, one of the early minor antagonists in Swallowed Star.

After Zhang Haobai bullied Luo Feng's father, Luo Feng beat him up. Zhang Haobai then sent people to attack Luo Feng in prison. But he didn't know that Luo Feng had already become a quasi-warrior. Attacking a quasi-warrior was a serious crime.

So Zhang Haobai had naturally been arrested.

However, Zhang Haobai did have some backing. He had an uncle who was a warrior in the Lightning Martial Arts Hall. After hearing what had happened, his uncle wanted to settle the matter privately with Luo Feng through the Limit Martial Hall.

Put simply, Zhang Haobai's uncle, Zhang Zehu, planned to offer Luo Feng some money and get him to let his nephew off.

"Luo Feng, you need money right now, and you've only just become a warrior. You don't want to make enemies either. Our Limit Martial Hall supports you in this. Make Zhang Zehu pay through the nose!" Wu Tong clearly wanted Luo Feng to agree, so he immediately began to persuade him.

"..."

Wang Cheng said nothing, merely watching with a smile.

Luo Feng was fairly levelheaded. After discussing it with Wu Tong, he agreed.

"Luo Feng, let me know when the time comes. I'll come along and help out too!" Wang Cheng said.

"Sure!"

Luo Feng agreed at once.
