Attitude

Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan, and Luo Hua were all stunned.

They had stayed with Luo Feng until dawn, but none of them felt the least bit sleepy.

They could all feel Luo Feng's boundless, sincere love for them in the enormous stone sculpture.

Only then did Luo Feng slowly open his eyes.

Looking at the sculpture before him, he smiled in satisfaction.

"Is this the true charm of the Flat Blade Style stone sculptures?"

Although he had carved for eight hours, Luo Feng didn't feel tired at all.

And because Earth Elements had continually nourished his body, he was still full of energy.

Turning around, Luo Feng saw that his parents and younger brother all had tears in their eyes.

At four in the morning, his parents and younger brother went to bed, but Luo Feng was still full of energy.

He could feel that his mental power had changed greatly over the past few hours.

Curious, Luo Feng opened the System Panel.

[Spiritual Telekinetic: Planetary Level Three (2127/120,000 experience)]

[Mental Will: Stellar Level One.]

"This..."

He knew his mental power had improved considerably, but he had never imagined it would increase this much in just eight hours.

He had gone straight from Planetary Level Two to Level Three. That was worth tens of thousands of points—how many monsters would he have to kill to earn that much?

And without even realizing it, his Mental Will had risen to Stellar Level as well.

Mental power and Mental Will were inseparable, so it made sense that his Mental Will would grow stronger as his mental power increased.

And while carving the sculpture, his resolve to protect his family had grown even firmer, which was another reason his consciousness had strengthened.

"Sure enough, I can't rely on the system to allocate all my points. The power of an epiphany is unimaginable. With my talent, I'm definitely no worse than anyone else."

This epiphany while carving the sculpture had made Luo Feng truly understand the importance of his own insights.

"With my current strength, my foundation is solid enough. Next, I should get myself a proper weapon and learn some Spiritual Telekinetic secret techniques.

"Of course, most important of all, I can't neglect comprehending Domains and Laws."

While carving the sculpture, Luo Feng had deeply sensed the fluctuations of Earth Elements. Combined with his years of studying Earth Magic, he felt he was just one step away from comprehending the Domain of Earth.

"I'll spend half a month at home with my parents this time and see if I can comprehend a Domain during that time."

Luo Feng thought to himself.

The scene shifted back to several hours earlier.

In a hall at the Xu Family ancestral residence in Jiangnan Base City, Xu Gang stood below like a lackey. At the far end of the hall sat an elderly man with white hair, his bearing still sharp and imposing.

Xu Xin and Xu Gang's father and uncles, along with several family retainers, had gathered on both sides of the hall.

"I only told Father that my younger sister seemed to be seeing someone named Luo Feng. Why did Father suddenly call the highest-level family meeting and even bring Grandpa out? Why make such a big deal of it?"

Xu Gang stood in the middle of the hall, unable to make sense of it.

"Could Luo Feng really come from some powerful background? Did the family elders already know about him?"

What Xu Gang didn't know was that the family retainers who had returned from City No. 031 had already told the Xu Family's highest-ranking members about Luo Feng.

They became even more certain after footage of Luo Feng's battles spread online.

They had been planning to visit him once he returned to the Base City.

Who could have guessed they'd suddenly receive such wonderful news—that little Xu Xin was connected to Luo Feng in this way?

But until they understood the situation, the family wouldn't act rashly. Naturally, they had to bring Xu Gang in and question him.

This was currently the Xu Family's most important matter.

An eighteen-year-old Advanced War God and Spiritual Telekinetic who could also use strange "Magic"—the implications were almost too much to imagine.

Although the Xu Family was one of the twelve great families in the Huaxia Nation branch of the HR Alliance, its strongest member was only an Intermediate War God.

Even an ordinary Advanced War God was nothing in front of an Advanced War God-level Spiritual Telekinetic.

"Xiao Gang, tell us everything that happened between your sister and Luo Feng today, in precise detail. The more, the better."

Xu Gang's father, Xu Tianming, spoke solemnly.

"Okay."

"It happened like this. I'd just gone to the HR Alliance headquarters today when I happened to see my sister pulling a young man by the hand and hurrying upstairs to a private room."

At Xu Gang's very first sentence, the eyes of the Xu Family's patriarch, Xu Jianjun, Xu Tianming, and all the family retainers lit up.

They had caught a few key words.

"Holding hands," "in a hurry," and "private room."

When a young man and woman were involved, those three phrases were enough to set their imaginations racing.

"Xiao Xin always seems so composed. I never expected her to be so eager.

"But she certainly has good taste. No wonder she's never been interested in those spoiled young masters.

"I was even planning to arrange a marriage alliance with the Kyoto Wang Family. Looks like I'll have to respect her own choice now."

Xu Xin's father, Xu Tianming, thought to himself.

Wang Xingping of the Kyoto Wang Family was a direct descendant of one of the HR Alliance's nine core families, but compared with an eighteen-year-old Advanced War God-level Spiritual Telekinetic, he was nothing.

An eighteen-year-old Spiritual Telekinetic with Advanced War God strength was almost certain to become a Beyond War God in the future. Even the HR Alliance's presiding councilman would probably have to show him respect.

Below, Xu Gang continued.

"After that, the two of them went to a private room on the second floor. I waited outside, but they were in there for over an hour without coming out."

At that, the old men's eyes lit up even more. They practically wanted to applaud.

"After that, I was worried my sister might get taken advantage of, so I went straight over and knocked."

Xu Gang continued.

He had thought the family elders would praise him when they heard that.

But instead, everyone looked at him with intense disapproval.

The words "good for nothing but making a mess" might as well have been written across their faces.

"Go on," the patriarch Xu Jianjun said from the raised platform, his face dark.

"After my sister opened the door, I saw the two of them making a deal. Monster materials were scattered all over the floor, and many were high-grade materials. There was even a pile of Lord Rank materials. Together, they must have been worth at least hundreds of billions."

Xu Gang exaggerated his expression as he spoke.

He had expected the family elders to be shocked, but they all looked as if they'd expected it.

In the end, Xu Tianming was the one who asked, "Was there anything unusual about the two of them? For example... um..."

Xu Tianming didn't know how to put it, after all, Xu Xin was his own daughter.

"Unusual?"

Xu Gang felt that the way his father asked made it sound as if he hoped his sister and Luo Feng had done something unusual.

"No, not really. They were probably just discussing the materials in private."

Xu Gang answered honestly.

He couldn't understand it. Shouldn't everyone be focused on the materials worth hundreds of billions?

Why were they all focused on his sister's relationship with Luo Feng?
