Xu Xin

"Luo Feng!"

Just as Luo Feng was still lost in the music, a clear, gentle voice filled with delight rang out. Luo Feng, who had been lying on the sofa, jerked his head up as if he'd been shocked.

A few meters away, a young woman in a white shirt and black trousers was looking at him with a bright smile.

"Xu Xin?"

Only then did Luo Feng suddenly remember that, in the original story, it had mentioned that Xu Xin worked as a manager at the HR Alliance headquarters every weekend during college.

After graduating, Luo Feng had spent every day training, then stayed in the Wilderness Zone for a month. Naturally, he'd long forgotten what day it was.

At that moment, their eyes met.

Luo Feng and Xu Xin both felt a spark, and a ripple of excitement stirred in their hearts.

At the same time, the beautiful waitress who had just misunderstood Luo Feng came over carrying a cup of tea.

Seeing their beautiful manager Xu Xin looking so delighted to see Luo Feng, the waitress was a little surprised.

This young lady had turned down who knew how many wealthy young heirs.

Was there something special about this man?

He seemed to have nothing going for him except that he was handsome, had deep eyes, stood out with his air of confidence, and looked like the protagonist of a novel.

After setting down the tea, the beautiful waitress left, leaving Luo Feng and Xu Xin alone in this little corner.

"Luo Feng, what are you doing here?"

Xu Xin came to her senses and noticed that Luo Feng was still staring fixedly at her. A slight blush crept over her face, and she quickly changed the subject.

"I'm a powerful Martial Artist. Where else would I be?"

Luo Feng replied with a smile. His formidable strength gave him confidence, and he couldn't help teasing Xu Xin.

Looking at the young woman before him, Luo Feng couldn't help remembering their high school days: sitting at the back of the classroom and quietly watching Xu Xin's back, again and again... He'd had a crush on her for a long time, but had never found the chance to tell her.

Back then, he'd also sensed that Xu Xin probably liked him too.

It was a gut feeling, and Luo Feng trusted that his instincts were usually right.

Of course, after absorbing Luo Feng's memories, he was even more certain that Xu Xin had feelings for him.

"Ah, Luo Feng, you're already a Martial Artist? No wonder you didn't go to college, even though you were the Top Scorer of the College Entrance Exam."

Seeing how Luo Feng was dressed, Xu Xin couldn't hide her delight.

When they'd just graduated, Xu Xin's grades had been excellent too, and she'd assumed Luo Feng would choose the same university as her. Who could have guessed that she'd later hear he was going to take the Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment?

"Mm. I just got back from the Wilderness Zone. I'm going to sell some materials, and it's perfect that you're here to handle the deal with me. You can take the commission. You'll have to treat me to a meal sometime."

Luo Feng said with a smile.

"You've already been to the Wilderness Zone?"

Xu Xin's expression shifted slightly. She wasn't happy about getting a commission; she was worried about Luo Feng instead.

All the land outside the Base Cities was collectively known as the Wilderness Zone.

To people living in the Base Cities, the Wilderness Zone was synonymous with a deadly forbidden land. It was teeming with all kinds of monsters.

Some were treacherous and cunning, others powerful and savage, and some were nearly invincible.

Only the strongest among humanity, the Martial Artists, dared to venture into such places and fight the monsters.

Xu Xin hadn't expected... Luo Feng to go to the Wilderness Zone as soon as he'd become a Martial Artist.

She thought he was taking far too big a risk.

Xu Xin knew that Luo Feng liked her... It wasn't the kind of thing that could be hidden.

He often stole glances at her from the back of the classroom. Whenever Xu Xin happened to turn around, she'd catch him staring at her. Naturally, she'd figured out how he felt.

Xu Xin had always been fairly close to Luo Feng, which was already a pretty clear sign.

They simply hadn't said anything outright.

Seeing Xu Xin's reaction, Luo Feng more or less guessed what she was thinking, so he reassured her.

"Don't underestimate me. The Limit Martial Arts Hall recruited me ahead of time, and I'm also a powerful Spiritual Telekinetic. The monsters out in the wild are nothing but chickens and dogs to me.

"Look, I came back from the Wilderness Zone without a scratch."

As he spoke, Luo Feng even stood up and turned around twice in front of Xu Xin.

Luo Feng didn't tell Xu Xin outright that he was already invincible on Earth. Saying that might have the opposite effect; no normal person would believe it.

"Pfft!"

Seeing Luo Feng act like that, Xu Xin couldn't help laughing. She hadn't expected her usually serious classmate to have such an adorable side.

But she was also secretly astonished. She hadn't known Luo Feng was a rare Spiritual Telekinetic.

"All right, my great Martial Artist. Go get the monster materials, then. I'll wait here and see how many monsters the mighty Spiritual Telekinetic Lord Luo Feng has killed."

Xu Xin quickly composed herself and spoke playfully.

Seeing that Luo Feng wasn't carrying anything, Xu Xin assumed he hadn't brought his things inside yet.

"No need to go get them. Watch me do a magic trick."

As soon as Luo Feng finished speaking, a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's tooth, nearly half a meter long, appeared in his hand.

Xu Xin stared at the object that had suddenly appeared in Luo Feng's hand, completely dumbfounded.

"Believe me now? Come on, we can't exactly make the deal here."

As he spoke, Luo Feng made the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's tooth disappear again.

There weren't many people in the lobby at the moment, so no one noticed what had happened.

But even after Luo Feng finished speaking, Xu Xin remained motionless.

Looking at Xu Xin's stunned expression, Luo Feng wanted nothing more than to reach out and pinch her smooth, delicate cheek.

But their relationship hadn't reached that point yet, so all he could do was wave his hand in front of her.

"You... That's a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's tooth? And you have a Space Ring?"

Only then did Xu Xin come to her senses, though her head was still buzzing from what she'd just witnessed.

She'd seen clearly that the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's tooth had appeared out of nowhere, then vanished just as mysteriously.

"Could Luo Feng have one of those legendary Space Rings?"

After all, there were many ancient ruins in this world. Hong had a Space Ring and hadn't kept it a secret from others.

So the people in some major families knew about them, and even many War Gods knew such things existed.

But for Luo Feng to take one out in full view of everyone was still too dangerous.

As the saying went, a man wasn't guilty for possessing a treasure, but for displaying it. If anyone else saw it, Luo Feng would be in danger.

Xu Xin hurriedly glanced around. Thankfully, no one was paying attention to them.

"Come on, we'd better hurry to a private room upstairs."

Nervously, Xu Xin took Luo Feng by the hand and led him upstairs. To anyone watching, they looked just like a couple madly in love.

"Hmm? Who's that guy with Xu Xin?"

As Xu Xin led Luo Feng toward a private room on the second floor, a young man who had just entered the HR Alliance at Jiangnan Base frowned from a short distance away.

"He looks like Xu Xin's high school classmate, Luo Feng. I heard he was the Top Scorer of the College Entrance Exam and was going to take the Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment. Could he already be a Martial Artist?"

This young man was Xu Xin's older brother, Xu Gang. Most of what he knew about Luo Feng had come from his sister, Xu Xin.
