Replacing His Equipment

Before long, Elder Li had treated the unconscious Xu Family retainers.

He then quickly bandaged the War God Level squad leader who had crashed onto the twenty-second floor, before leading his squad out of City No. 031.

What Luo Feng didn't know was that, soon after returning to the Base City, the Xu Family retainers passed his information on to the family's highest-ranking members.

After bidding farewell to Elder Li and the members of the Fire Hammer Squad, Luo Feng began preparing to kill the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard.

That Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard had even defeated Planetary Level powerhouses. It was probably a monster infinitely close to King Rank, far stronger than an ordinary Advanced Lord.

First, Luo Feng needed to build up a large stock of points.

Only with enough points could he stay calm when facing any enemy.

Second, Luo Feng had now reached Advanced War God, and his current equipment and weapons were starting to fall behind his progress. He planned to hunt some high-level monsters and upgrade his gear.

For close combat, he had a Grade 7 Battle Blade, Grade 7 leather armor, and a Grade 6 Shield. Those were fine against ordinary monsters.

But they were completely useless against Advanced Lords.

The Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard was an Advanced Lord with exceptionally strong defenses. Even the six S-Rank Flying Daggers the system had given him might not be enough.

It would be best if he could upgrade all his Flying Daggers to SS-Rank, too.

After all, he didn't even have a Black God Set. He was clearly an assassin with high attack and low defense.

He had to upgrade his equipment and strengthen his defenses.

So Luo Feng began targeting Advanced Lords.

After all these days of taking stock, Luo Feng had realized that the equipment dropped by the system was always one level higher than the monster.

Advanced Lord monsters dropped SS-Rank equipment.

On his second day in City No. 031, Luo Feng encountered a Thunder-Striding Leopard, a rare Advanced Lord that roamed alone.

To hone his skills, Luo Feng fought it using only his Martial Artist abilities.

Of course, with only his Martial Artist strength at the Beginner War God level, Luo Feng couldn't possibly defeat an Advanced Lord like the Thunder-Striding Leopard.

Luo Feng immediately used Gravity Art to curb the leopard's greatest advantage—its speed.

Then, relying on the 2.1-times power amplification of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade Second Layer, he wore the Thunder-Striding Leopard down to death with Intermediate War God-level strength.

The Advanced Lord Thunder-Striding Leopard didn't disappoint. It dropped a flashy purple SS-Rank War Blade.

On the fifth day, Luo Feng encountered a herd of Iron-Armored Rhinos. Most were Beast General Rank, and their leader was an Advanced Lord Iron-Armored Rhino King.

There were too many Beast General Rank Iron-Armored Rhinos, and Luo Feng didn't want to waste too much time. Without hesitation, he cast the Level Eight spell Rain of Crushing Stones.

Nearly a thousand giant stones, each six or seven meters in diameter and infused with Earth Elements, suddenly came crashing down from the sky, covering an area hundreds of meters wide below like a meteor shower and wiping out the ordinary Beast General Rank Iron-Armored Rhinos.

Luo Feng had wanted to use the same tactic to kill the Iron-Armored Rhino King with his Martial Artist strength, but its defenses were too strong. Even with an SS-Rank War Blade, Luo Feng's strength was still insufficient.

In the end, Luo Feng had to use Spiritual Telekinesis to control the SS-Rank War Blade and painstakingly kill the Iron-Armored Rhino King.

It dropped a yellow-brown SS-Grade Shield.

On the ninth day, Luo Feng encountered a herd of Flame Lions. In the end, he got a fiery red SS-class Combat Suit from the Advanced Lord Flame Lion King.

On the fourteenth day, Luo Feng finally encountered a lone Advanced Lord Black-Crowned Golden Eagle. After killing it, he obtained two dark golden SS-Grade Flying Daggers.

At last, Luo Feng had collected a complete set of equipment.

He had also accumulated nearly enough points.

After resting for a night and recovering his strength, he set out for the outskirts of the city, with the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard as his target.

Of course, while hunting monsters, Luo Feng used any spare time to study the Flat Blade Carving Technique. Although it didn't do much to improve his mental strength at first,

after half a month, he had gradually grasped some of the essential principles of stone carving.

What Luo Feng didn't know was that some people had secretly recorded his battles as he rampaged through City No. 031, hunting Advanced Lords, and uploaded the footage online.

The terrifying Level Eight spell, Rain of Crushing Stones, covered an enormous area.

And his battle with the Black-Crowned Golden Eagle had taken place high in the sky, so many people had noticed it.

Before long, not only the Li Family and Xu Family in Jiangnan Base City, but also interested parties from families and factions around the world, had carefully studied the footage and sensed that something about Luo Feng, an Advanced War God, was unusual.

Inside a mountainside villa on Huayao Peak, in the Jiangnan Landscape Residential Area of Jiangnan Base City.

A man covered in Evil Qi, with tattoos on his face, watched a video on his phone.

"Hmm? This young man seems to be only an Advanced War God, yet he can release Earth Elements in this way? And with such power and such a wide range?

"He must have had an extraordinary encounter in some ruin. I've been stuck at the peak of the War God level for too long. If I could..."

In Europa.

Inside a room in a vast manor.

A burly, middle-aged man with fiery red hair happened to see a video of Luo Feng using Earth Magic and killing the Black-Crowned Golden Eagle.

"So young, already an Advanced War God, and so unusual. He must be hiding a secret..."

The military forces of various nations were even more intrigued by Luo Feng's Magic.

"If every soldier could learn Magic like this, what would we have to fear from monster hordes? Wouldn't every last one of them die, no matter how many came?"

After seeing Luo Feng's videos, many ambitious powerhouses began entertaining all sorts of thoughts.

After all, Luo Feng was far too young. His strength was far too abnormal.

The military forces of various nations were especially covetous of his Magic.

In the blink of an eye, it was Luo Feng's fifteenth day in City No. 031.

Barefoot, Luo Feng stood atop a mountain.

Before him lay an abandoned mine.

It was an open-pit mine, its surface covered in pale gray rocks. Ruined mining equipment lay scattered around it. Some rusted iron frames had twisted out of shape, and others had partly collapsed.

Looking down, he saw the mine pit gaping open like a giant monster's maw. Its depths were dark and gloomy, shrouded in a mysterious, foreboding atmosphere.

At the very bottom of the pit stood a few old, oversized mining trucks. From the mountaintop, they looked no bigger than toy cars.

Dark clouds crowded the gloomy sky. A few faint rays of sunlight struggled through the gaps and fell on the abandoned site. Luo Feng looked down into the mine pit and spotted two tunnels at the bottom.

With his keen eyesight, Luo Feng could just make out the occasional Space-Splitting Lizard, each five or six meters long, appearing at the tunnel entrances.

"This should be the Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard's lair."

Before entering, Luo Feng decided to play it safe and spend some points.

After all, this was a monster that even a Planetary Level powerhouse couldn't kill, and it was also tied to his Dragonblood Warrior transformation. Better to be cautious.
