Hundreds of miles north of Jiangnan Base City, a military district was stationed.
The train pulled to a slow stop at the military district's station.
There was a Martial Artist Supply Base here.
The Martial Artist Supply Base was located inside the military district. It consisted of rows of quiet little buildings, and the surroundings were very pleasant.
As Luo Feng entered the Martial Artist Supply Base, he failed to notice that a broad-shouldered, burly middle-aged man had fixed his eyes on him.
This man was none other than Zhang Haobai's uncle, Zhang Zehu.
Luo Feng didn't know Zhang Zehu, but Zhang Zehu knew him.
Earlier, Zhang Zelong had sent Luo Feng's photo to Zhang Zehu.
"Luo Feng? I didn't expect a newbie who'd only just become a Martial Artist to dare come to the Wilderness Zone alone. Does he think being a Spiritual Telekinetic makes him invincible? He's practically asking to die."
Zhang Zehu licked his lips.
He'd thought he'd never be able to avenge his nephew in this lifetime. But now Luo Feng had suddenly appeared right in front of him, all by himself, and seemed to be heading out into the wilderness alone.
"I heard he killed over a thousand H-Class Monsters during the Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment. Spiritual Telekinetics really are fast at killing monsters. But his Spiritual Telekinesis can't be any stronger than Advanced Warrior Level right now. He shouldn't be a match for me.
"Besides, once we're in the Wilderness Zone, the captain and the others should help me. This time, I'll see how you manage to die."
Word of Luo Feng's performance in the Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment had spread through the Martial Artist circles of Yangzhou City, so Zhang Zehu had naturally heard about it.
But he assumed Luo Feng had killed so many monsters by using his Spiritual Telekinesis.
It never would have occurred to him that Luo Feng, a newbie Martial Artist, already had the strength of a High-Level War General.
Luo Feng bought some daily necessities and a map at the Supply Base, then left without lingering.
After showing his Martial Artist certificate at the base checkpoint, Luo Feng walked out without a hitch.
Beyond the base, everything was desolate and ruined.
A dilapidated highway stretched out before him.
Luo Feng opened the map and began planning his route for this hunting trip.
"Follow this highway for a little over a hundred kilometers, and I'll reach County-Level City No. 0201. This looks good. I'll make it my first destination."
Monsters could live just about anywhere in the wilderness, but they were sparse out there, and you might travel a long way before finding one. Cities had denser populations of monsters, and the monsters were stronger.
Luo Feng wanted to level up quickly, and he also wanted to earn more money to buy Life Water for his younger brother. But he'd only just entered the Wilderness Zone, and he didn't want to take excessive risks by heading straight to a major city. That was why he'd chosen a county-level city.
The strongest monsters in a county-level city were usually only High-Level Beast General Rank, so they weren't much of a threat to Luo Feng.
In prefecture-level cities or major cities, you could run into a Lord-level monster—or even a King-Level Monster. If he ran into one now, he'd be done for. Better to play it safe.
Luo Feng hadn't gone far from the base when—
"Hrrgh~~"
"Hrrgh~~"
A Single-Horned Wild Boar suddenly charged out of the woods nearby.
Its fur was black, each strand like a steel spike, and the deep-gray horn on its head was as sharp as a blade!
Sunlight glinted coldly off the tip of its blade-like horn.
"Hmm? Judging by its size, this should be a G-Class Single-Horned Wild Boar. It definitely looks stronger than an H-Class Monster. Let's see how many points I get for killing one."
Luo Feng's eyes lit up.
"Shing!"
Luo Feng drew the Blood Shadow Battle Blade and smiled faintly.
Then, like a nimble leopard, he sprang toward the Single-Horned Wild Boar.
"Hrrgh~~ Hrrgh~~"
Though Luo Feng was fast, the Single-Horned Wild Boar paid him no mind. It let out two roars, then charged straight at him in a deadly rush.
Single-Horned Wild Boars were stupid. They usually attacked as soon as they saw a person.
Unfortunately for it, the gap between them was far too great. Luo Feng shot toward the boar like a bolt of lightning. His Blood Shadow Battle Blade flashed, sweeping upward from below at an unusual angle and striking the boar in the neck.
"Pfft!"
Rank, foul blood gushed from the wound in the boar's neck, spraying like water from a tap!
"Graaah~~"
The Single-Horned Wild Boar let out a piercing cry and collapsed. Its body convulsed as all four hooves kicked wildly without control. Its cries grew fainter, until it fell silent and stopped moving.
The frenzied, bloodthirsty gleam in its eyes gradually faded.
Luo Feng's Blade Technique was already nearing Specialization Level. He'd controlled the force of that strike perfectly, severing the boar's carotid artery without using any unnecessary strength.
[System: Killed a G-Class Monster, Single-Horned Wild Boar. Reward: 0.2 points.]
"Sure enough, the stronger the monster, the more points you get. Not bad."
Luo Feng walked over to the boar and used the Blood Shadow Battle Blade to remove its horn.
The most valuable part of a Single-Horned Wild Boar was its horn!
He could probably sell it to the HR Alliance for five thousand.
It wasn't worth much, but even a little added up. Besides, he had a Space Ring, so carrying it wouldn't be any trouble.
After killing the boar, Luo Feng continued on his way. But he'd only been walking for a short while when he sensed someone approaching rapidly from behind.
"Hmm? Someone?"
Luo Feng turned around.
Six figures were sprinting toward him. At their head was a short, lean middle-aged man.
Beside him ran a burly man carrying a huge Mountain-Splitting Blade on his back.
Judging from the aura they gave off, Luo Feng could tell that none of them was a War God.
So Luo Feng stopped to see what they wanted.
Soon, the six of them reached a point a few dozen meters from Luo Feng and spread out in a loose semicircle, subtly surrounding him.
"Zhang Zehu, this kid's the one who killed your nephew?"
A One-Eyed Man in the group asked.
"Right, that's him. Brothers, help me kill him, and I'll treat you all to drinks in a few days."
"Hahaha! This kid's so naive. He sees people in the wilderness and just stands there. Does he think this is a Base City? Hahaha..."
The others burst out laughing. They clearly didn't consider Luo Feng a threat.
"Watch yourselves, boys. He's a powerful Spiritual Telekinetic," Zhang Zehu said mockingly.
"Wow, a Spiritual Telekinetic. I'm terrified."
Spiritual Telekinetics really were powerful.
But Zhang Zehu had already told them that Luo Feng was eighteen and had only passed the Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment a few days ago.
Even if he was a Spiritual Telekinetic, he was still the lowest rank of Spiritual Telekinetic. His strength was probably only at Advanced Warrior Level.
The weakest among the six was already an Advanced Warrior, on the verge of becoming a Junior War General.
Most of them were Junior War Generals, and their captain was a mid-level War General. Naturally, a group like theirs wouldn't take a rookie Spiritual Telekinetic seriously.
