"An ordinary Martial Artist who's barely at the low-level Warrior rank dares to come bother my sister?"

After watching Luo Feng and Xu Xin enter the private room, he didn't go over right away. He planned to wait until Luo Feng came out, then have a "nice" chat with him.

An ordinary Martial Artist was nothing in the face of a family as powerful as the Xu Family.

On the second floor of the HR Alliance headquarters, inside a large private room in a luxurious teahouse.

Luo Feng and Xu Xin sat facing each other.

"Luo Feng, did you... have some sort of fortuitous encounter in the wilderness? How did you get a Space Ring?"

Xu Xin couldn't help speaking first.

After all, there were probably only a handful of people in the entire world who owned a Space Ring, and most of them had obtained one from ancient ruins in the wilderness.

Forget the Xu Family in Jiangnan Base City—even the HR Alliance's chairman might not have a Space Ring. That showed just how precious they were.

"That's right. I had a few fortuitous encounters recently and obtained a Space Ring.

"And on this trip to the Wilderness Zone, I absorbed the blood of a King-Level Dragon-Type Monster and evolved into a Beyond War God-level existence.

"You don't have to worry about my safety. No one can hurt me."

Luo Feng smiled. Aside from not telling Xu Xin about the system, he had been completely honest with her.

"I'm not joking, Luo Feng. Whatever you do, don't let anyone else see that you have a Space Ring. It's dangerous."

Xu Xin thought Luo Feng was joking with her and warned him again. She figured he didn't yet understand how serious this was.

Seeing that Xu Xin didn't believe him, Luo Feng couldn't say much more. He could feel the concern in her words.

Right now, no matter who he told, they'd probably find it hard to believe.

After all, what had happened to Luo Feng was far too bizarre. In just one month, he'd gone from being a Quasi-Martial Artist to a Beyond War God, and had even reached Star Level. Who would believe that?

Even if he told his closest family—his parents and younger brother—they probably wouldn't be able to accept it right away.

"All right, I understand. I won't let anyone else know about the Space Ring besides you and my family. Is that good enough?

"I came here today to sell monster materials. I've got a lot of them. I wonder if the HR Alliance can afford to buy them all."

Luo Feng quickly changed the subject.

What does Luo Feng mean by that? Besides me and his family... Does he think of me as being just as important as his family? Could that count as an unusual kind of confession?

Xu Xin couldn't help thinking.

But she quickly responded to Luo Feng's question.

"You're underestimating the HR Alliance. This is the HR Alliance's headquarters in Jiangnan Base City. Even if you had ten sets of High-Level Beast General materials, that would be nothing to our headquarters."

"By the way, the Silver Moon Wolf King is a High-Level Beast General monster. How did you get these fangs?"

Xu Xin couldn't believe that Luo Feng, who had only become a Martial Artist a month ago, could kill a High-Level Beast General monster on his own. Even a Spiritual Telekinetic couldn't be that powerful.

Of course, she'd taken Luo Feng's earlier claim that he was a Beyond War God as a joke too.

An eighteen-year-old Beyond War God was beyond the limits of what a normal person could imagine.

She assumed Luo Feng had gone to the Wilderness Zone for the first time and accidentally stumbled into an undiscovered ancient ruin, where he'd found the Space Ring and these Silver Moon Fierce Wolf materials. The idea was absurd, but... she couldn't think of any other explanation.

"..."

Luo Feng was speechless. Xu Xin hadn't believed a word he'd said. There was nothing he could do but let her learn about him gradually.

With that thought, Luo Feng began taking things out of his Space Ring.

He simply waved his hand.

A pile of low-level monster materials suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Most were from Beast Soldier Level monsters, low-level Beast Generals, and Intermediate Beast Generals.

They were the spoils Luo Feng had collected during his first three days in the wilderness and in City 0201. There were tens of thousands of different materials.

They immediately filled one corner of the private room, piling up like a small mountain.

They might have been low-level monster materials, but even this pile was probably worth tens of billions, or perhaps over a hundred billion.

Before Xu Xin could recover from her shock, Luo Feng lightly waved his arm again.

Silver Moon Fierce Wolf fangs, Iron-Armored Bull horns, Four-Tailed Cat claws, Two-Headed Iron-Wire Snake parts...

Another pile of High-Level Beast General materials appeared.

There weren't as many as in the first pile, but there were nearly a hundred different kinds.

Any one of them was worth several hundred million, or even over a billion.

Even this small pile was worth at least a hundred billion.

Luo Feng didn't stop. With another casual wave, he added more than ten kinds of Lord Rank materials to the pile.

Xu Xin's eyes widened. Staring at the mountain of monster materials, she was completely stunned.

She'd never imagined that Luo Feng could produce so many monster materials—far more precious than the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf fang he'd shown her earlier.

Now she was even more puzzled. How could there be so many monster materials in a ruin?

Besides, all these monster materials looked very "fresh." Some even had bloodstains that hadn't dried yet.

"Lo... Luo Feng, you..."

Xu Xin was so surprised she could barely get the words out.

"What on earth happened to you in the Wilderness Zone? How did you get so many high-grade materials?"

Luo Feng smiled at Xu Xin's astonished expression, finding it adorable, and said,

"I told you I was a Beyond War God-level powerhouse. Killing monsters is as easy as chopping vegetables. I killed all of these along the way, but you wouldn't believe me."

Luo Feng still had a huge pile of Advanced Lord materials and a King Rank monster's materials that he hadn't taken out. He felt he'd already brought out more than enough to sell. Any more would just be numbers to him.

Xu Xin was stunned, unable to think for a moment.

Luo Feng shrugged helplessly, knowing it would be difficult to convince Xu Xin of his strength in such a short time.

But he wasn't in a hurry. He had plenty of time to let her get to know him.

"Then take a look and see how much of this the HR Alliance can buy."

Luo Feng said.

Xu Xin took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and put her other thoughts aside as she began carefully examining the materials.

As she looked them over, she estimated their value. The more she saw, the more shocked she became.

There were not only a great many materials, but they were all in excellent condition. Some of the pelts in particular had been cut very neatly and were almost entirely undamaged. They could definitely fetch a fortune on the market.

"Luo Feng, the HR Alliance headquarters can certainly buy all of these materials. But..."

Xu Xin hesitated.

"What is it?"

"However, wealth should not be flaunted. To avoid bringing you unnecessary trouble, it would be best not to let anyone else know that you sold this batch of materials to the HR Alliance. I should sell them for you, then transfer the money to your account. That way, we won't attract anyone's attention.

"Of course, if you don't trust me, just forget I said anything."

Xu Xin said.

"No problem. You can handle it however you like."

Luo Feng nodded and agreed without a second thought. These things were nothing to him now; they would only take up space.

That girl really does think of everything.

Why can't she believe that I'm an incredibly powerful expert and that I killed all of these myself?
