Hundreds of miles north of Jiangnan Base City, there was a military district station.

"Rumble~~"

The train slowed to a halt at the military district station.

There was a Martial Artist Supply Base located here.

The Martial Artist Supply Base was situated inside the military district, consisting of rows of quiet, small buildings in a very pleasant environment.

Just as Luo Feng entered the Martial Artist Base, he did not notice that a burly, broad-shouldered middle-aged man had set his sights on him.

This man was none other than Zhang Zehu, the uncle of Zhang Haobai.

Luo Feng did not recognize Zhang Zehu, but Zhang Zehu recognized Luo Feng.

This was because Zhang Zelong had previously sent a photo of Luo Feng to Zhang Zehu.

"Luo Feng? I didn't expect a rookie who just became a martial artist to dare to come to the Wilderness Zone alone. Does he think he's invincible just because he's a Spiritual Telekinetic? He's really courting death."

Zhang Zehu licked his lips.

He had thought it would be difficult to avenge his nephew in this lifetime, but he never expected Luo Feng to appear before him so suddenly, and it looked like he was planning to head into the wild alone.

"I heard he killed over a thousand H-rank monsters during the Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment. This Spiritual Telekinesis is indeed fast at killing monsters, but his current Spiritual Telekinesis is at most at the Advanced Warrior level; he shouldn't be a match for me yet.

Besides, once we're in the Wilderness Zone, the captain and the others should be able to help me. This time, I'll see how you die."

The news of Luo Feng's Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment had already spread through the martial artist circles in Yangzhou City, so Zhang Zehu naturally knew about it.

However, he only assumed that Luo Feng had used Spiritual Telekinesis to kill so many monsters back then.

He could never have imagined that Luo Feng, a novice martial artist, now possessed the strength of an Advanced War General.

Luo Feng only bought some daily necessities and a map at the supply base without lingering for too long.

At the base checkpoint, after showing his martial artist ID, Luo Feng successfully walked out of the base.

As soon as he left the base, the scene outside was entirely desolate and dilapidated.

Right in front of him was a ruined highway.

Luo Feng opened the map and began to plan his killing route for this trip.

"Following this highway for over a hundred kilometers will lead to County-Level City No. 0201. This place looks good; I'll make it my first target."

Although monsters could live anywhere in the wild, the density of monsters in the wild was low, and one could only encounter one after a long distance. Only the monsters in the cities were denser and of higher quality.

Luo Feng wanted to level up quickly and earn more money to help his younger brother buy Life Water, but having just entered the Wilderness Zone, he didn't want to take too many risks by heading straight to a large city, which was why he chose a county-level city.

County-level cities generally only had Advanced Beast General rank monsters at most, which posed little threat to Luo Feng.

Going to those prefecture-level cities or large cities meant potentially running into Lords or even King-rank monsters. If he happened to encounter one now, it would be game over, so it was better to play it safe.

Luo Feng hadn't gone far after leaving the base city.

"Hmph~~"

"Hmph~~"

A Single-Horned Wild Boar suddenly charged out from the woods nearby.

The Single-Horned Wild Boar's entire body was covered in black fur that looked like steel needles, and a single dark gray horn resembled a sharp blade!

Under the sunlight, the tip of that horn reflected a cold, icy light.

"Hmm? Judging by the size, this should be a G-rank Single-Horned Wild Boar. It certainly looks stronger than an H-rank monster. Let's see how many points I get for killing one."

Luo Feng's eyes lit up.

"Shing!"

Luo Feng drew his Blood Shadow Battle Blade and smiled slightly.

Immediately, his entire body darted toward the Single-Horned Wild Boar like an agile leopard.

"Hmph~~ Hmph~~"

Although Luo Feng was fast, the Single-Horned Wild Boar didn't care; after letting out two snorts, it launched a death charge.

The intelligence of Single-Horned Wild Boars was very low; they usually just attacked as soon as they saw a human.

But unfortunately, the gap between the two was too great. Luo Feng moved like a bolt of lightning, shooting directly toward the Single-Horned Wild Boar. The Blood Shadow Battle Blade in his hand instantly traced a cold arc, slashing from a strange angle from bottom to top, striking directly at the neck of the Single-Horned Wild Boar.

"Pfft!"

Foul-smelling blood sprayed out along the neck of the Single-Horned Wild Boar, gushing from the massive wound like tap water!

"Awoo~~"

With a shrill howl, the Single-Horned Wild Boar collapsed to the ground, its entire body twitching as its four hooves kicked wildly and unconsciously. The sound gradually weakened until there was no more reaction.

The light in its crazed, bloodthirsty eyes also gradually dimmed.

Luo Feng's Blade Technique was now approaching the "Specialist" level. The force of this strike was controlled perfectly, just enough to sever the carotid artery of the Single-Horned Wild Boar without wasting any extra effort.

[Ding: Killed G-rank monster Single-Horned Wild Boar, rewarded 0.2 points.]

"As expected, the stronger the monster, the more points it's worth. Not bad."

Luo Feng walked up to the Single-Horned Wild Boar and used his Blood Shadow Battle Blade to slice off the horn from its head.

The most valuable part of a Single-Horned Wild Boar was this very horn!

Selling this horn to the HR Alliance should fetch about five thousand.

Although it wasn't worth much, even a mosquito's leg is meat, and since he had a Space Ring, it wasn't any trouble to carry it.

After killing the Single-Horned Wild Boar, Luo Feng continued on his way, but after traveling for only a short while, he sensed someone rapidly pursuing him from behind.

"Hmm, someone's there?"

Luo Feng turned his head.

He saw six figures sprinting toward him from behind, led by a lean, short-statured middle-aged man.

Beside the middle-aged man was a burly fellow carrying a massive Mountain-Splitting Blade on his back.

From the aura radiating off them, Luo Feng could roughly judge that there were no War God level powerhouses among this group.

Luo Feng stood his ground to see what this group was after.

Soon, the six men reached a spot a few dozen meters from Luo Feng, forming a semicircle that faintly surrounded him.

"Zhang Zehu, is this the brat who killed your nephew?"

A one-eyed man in the group asked.

"That's right, it's him. Brothers, help me kill him, and I'll treat you all to drinks in a few days."

"Haha, this little guy is truly naive. To see humans in the wilderness and just stand there without moving—does he really think the wilderness is a base city? Hahaha..."

The others all burst into laughter, clearly not considering Luo Feng a threat at all.

"Brothers, be careful, he is a powerful Spiritual Telekinetic, you know."

Zhang Zehu said mockingly.

"Wow, a Spiritual Telekinetic, I'm so scared."

Although Spiritual Telekinetics were indeed strong.

But the group had heard from Zhang Zehu earlier that this Luo Feng was only 18 years old and had just passed the Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment a few days ago.

Even if he were a Spiritual Telekinetic, he would only be at the lowest level, with strength likely just reaching the Advanced Warrior level.

Among the six of them, the weakest was an Advanced Warrior, and they were infinitely close to the Junior War General level.

Most of them were Junior War Generals, and their leader was even a Mid-level War General; naturally, a group like this wouldn't take a rookie Spiritual Telekinetic seriously.
