"So mysterious. What a bore." Zhao Ruo had failed to sneak a peek and lost interest. She could only change the subject. "Xiao Ning, shall we go together?"
Although Guan Ning wanted to take her along, Mist Island was far too dangerous. He wasn't even sure he could get in, so he pretended not to notice Zhao Ruo's threatening look. "No. I'm planning to go alone, too."
"What a bore." Zhao Ruo pouted.
"Zhao Ruo, there'll definitely be people looking to form teams when the time comes," Shi Jiang said with a smile, trying to comfort her.
Forty minutes later.
The plane landed, and the cabin doors opened. The many students and War God instructors on all three levels hurried out of the aircraft.
Although they'd been attacked by flying monsters along the way, the aircraft hadn't run into any trouble. It was equipped with Laser Cannons, after all. King-Level Monsters wouldn't dare show themselves, and only low-intelligence monsters would attack the aircraft—and they weren't strong enough to damage it.
A Black War God instructor spoke loudly in Chinese. "All students, please use your Communication Watches to record the detailed coordinates of our current location. It's 3:15 p.m. on August 1, 2057. Your task is to survive on the Australia Continent for 28 days. Our aircraft will return here at noon on the 29th to take you all back to Hongning Base City."
"Now, your Life and Death Adventure officially begins!"
The War God instructors quickly returned to the aircraft. It slowly rose into the sky, then became a streak of blue light and vanished into the distance.
Only 183 students remained on the wilderness.
The students gathered in groups of three or five, trying to recruit powerful warriors and form teams. This was especially true of the weaker students who had only recently joined the Training Camp. Surviving alone on the Australia Continent for 28 days was absolutely impossible for them.
"Sister Ruo, Senior Shi Jiang, Luo Feng, I'm heading off first." Carrying a backpack much larger than an ordinary person's, Guan Ning was the first to leave the group.
"Running off so fast. Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Zhao Ruo was still annoyed that Guan Ning had refused her.
Shi Jiang and Luo Feng exchanged amused smiles. Then Shi Jiang invited Luo Feng to join him. Luo Feng was now in the top ten of the rankings, and on top of that, he was a Psychic Master. Shi Jiang's invitation was far more sincere than it had been in the original story.
But Luo Feng still turned him down. After all, Vulture Li Yao was still a threat.
At the same time, in a villa atop Huayao Peak in Jiangnan Landscape Residential Quarter, located in the main urban district of Jiangnan Base City, Li Yao and the blonde woman Venina stared grimly at Candice's image on the enormous screen before them.
"Luo Feng's on his own. Auntie, Uncle, I can't talk to you anymore. I'm about to enter the Wilderness Area." Candice's image vanished in a flash.
Li Yao and Venina were consumed by anger and pain.
With Inspector Wang's assurances, the entire Mingyue Residential Quarter was on full alert, doing everything possible to protect Luo Feng's parents and family. Venina had used the Polenas Family's influence among ordinary people to make a move against them, but the moment she did, she received a warning from the Limit Martial Hall.
It hadn't come from General Hall Master Hong himself, but Inspector Wang was a Beyond War God. He wasn't someone they could afford to provoke. If they were caught with evidence, Blood Blade would be a cautionary example. So all they could do was vent their frustration helplessly at home.
After three months of pent-up rage, the fury in their hearts had reached the heavens. Now that they had news of Luo Feng, it erupted like a volcano, fierce and explosive.
Li Yao sneered. "Is everything ready?"
Venina nodded.
They hadn't been idle over the past three months. They'd made thorough preparations to avenge their only son. The Laser Cannons went without saying; those had been ready long ago.
They'd also hired three War God-level mercenaries: one Advanced War God and two Intermediate War Gods. The Advanced War God's fee was eight billion euros, while each Intermediate War God would cost three billion.
Luo Feng was much stronger than in the original story, and they'd had plenty of time, so they'd managed to find an Advanced War God. Guan Ning knew nothing about any of this. Even if he had, he wouldn't have cared. They were after Luo Feng. What did that have to do with him?
Of course, most importantly, for various reasons, Luo Feng was now far stronger than in the original story.
At this point in the original story, Luo Feng's physical strength was over 63,000 kilograms, putting him at the Elementary War God level. His flying daggers had a force of over 210,000 kilograms, and his Mental Power Amplitude was 6, meaning he could control six daggers at full power.
But Luo Feng's physical strength had now reached 80,000 kilograms, and his flying daggers had a force of 280,000 kilograms. That was beyond 256,000 kilograms, making him a genuine Advanced War God.
What's more, he'd spent the past three months furiously practicing the nine diagrams in Psychic Master Basics. His Mental Power Amplitude had now reached 8. If he attacked with all eight daggers at once, their combined force would exceed two million kilograms. That was about the physical strength of an ordinary Planetary-Level warrior. And with his physical defense at 3.5 times normal, he could be called an Invincible War God.
"With Luo Feng's current strength, Vulture Li Yao isn't his match at all."
Guan Ning walked through the wilderness, the cold wind blowing against him as he watched monsters grazing with their heads lowered among the short grass.
Thinking of the strength Luo Feng had revealed, Guan Ning smiled, too. He hadn't been idle either. After the bet was settled, he'd used the Dragon Blood. Once he'd endured the inhuman pain, his strength had broken through 100,000 kilograms. The only disappointment was that he hadn't reached the 128,000-kilogram threshold for an Intermediate War God.
Even so, his strength had increased tremendously. With a Strength Amplitude of 4, that meant a force of over 400,000 kilograms—a solid Advanced War God's strength.
An ordinary War God's Strength Amplitude was only a little over 2, so an Advanced War God's burst strength exceeded 500,000 kilograms. The gap wasn't all that large.
Besides, his defensive amplitude was 4 times normal. An ordinary Advanced War God couldn't hurt him. And with both his swordsmanship and movement technique at the third level, his overall strength should be that of an Advanced War God.
And then there were the Black God Suit, the Spirit of Vegetation, and the Smart Fighter Jet. Getting into Mist Island would be easy, and he'd definitely return with a full haul.
Whoosh!
A fleeting figure skimmed past the monsters from a distance without disturbing them. It was Guan Ning, following the map.
"My target this time is Mist Island. I'll leave you monsters alone for now."
Guan Ning watched the monsters, tempted, but reluctantly gave up. He'd already changed the story beyond recognition, and nobody knew when Luo Feng would find Mist Island. As long as he didn't disturb the Cloud-Touching Vine beneath the island, Luo Feng could sweep through the place with his current strength. So Guan Ning had to hurry.
Meanwhile, Venina and the others had already pinpointed Luo Feng's location. Because of his strength, Luo Feng hadn't replaced his Communication Watch. He knew the HR Alliance could track his position and had left it on deliberately to lure them in. He was using himself as bait.
Even with Guan Ning's intervention, Luo Feng had still made it to the Ape Mountain Range. At that moment, he was in the mountains, processing the corpse of an Advanced Lord-Level Diamond Ape. Nearby lay the corpses of two Elementary Lord-Level Great Strength Demon Apes. From their wounds, each had been killed with a single strike. This showed just how much fiercer Luo Feng was now than in the original story.
After processing the three corpses, his backpack was full. He'd already hunted three Lord-Level Monsters before this. If he hadn't collected only the most valuable parts, his backpack would have been full much earlier.
After leaving the area, Luo Feng found a place to wait, looking up at the sky from time to time.
"By their speed, they should be here by now, right?" Luo Feng muttered.
You shouldn't talk about things like that!
"Hm? They're here!"
As soon as Luo Feng spoke, his expression shifted. Then he smiled slightly.
A phantom appeared in the distant north, stopped, and slowly descended. It was a large aircraft. As its cabin doors opened, figures leapt out one after another. At their head was the Advanced War God Vulture 'Li Yao,' whose picture Luo Feng had seen online long ago.
"Vulture's here? Where's Poison Scorpion?" Luo Feng watched closely through his binoculars. "Oh, tsk... fifty-nine people in all. Quite a crowd."
"Hm? There are quite a few crates, too."
"Looks like they're probably Laser Cannons. I can't believe Guan Ning was right." Luo Feng grew wary.
"Vulture Li Yao, you came to hunt me down... but I should pay you a visit first!" Luo Feng's gaze turned cold...
If he was going to kill him,
he should get rid of Vulture Li Yao as soon as possible!
Luo Feng lay low on the ground, hidden by the thick grass. Although he was confident he could kill Li Yao and the other three War Gods, he still acted cautiously.
Luo Feng lay flat on the ground. More precisely, a Hexagonal Shield was wedged between him and the earth!
"Go!" Luo Feng willed it.
His Spiritual Force immediately controlled the Hexagonal Shield, carrying Luo Feng almost flush with the ground as he sped toward Li Yao and the others. He moved very quickly at first, but as the distance between them shrank to 500 meters, his speed dropped sharply.
"Hm?" Through a gap in the grass, Luo Feng spotted Li Yao and the others in the distance. "Why has Vulture Li Yao changed his armor?"
Even Li Yao's previously exposed arms and hands had turned black. His neck was black, too, and he wore a handsome-looking black helmet!
"Is this the Black God Suit Guan Ning mentioned?" Luo Feng thought. Before they'd set out, Guan Ning had told him a few things, including about the Laser Cannons and the Black God Suit.
"Vulture Li Yao is cautious, all right." Luo Feng couldn't help cursing under his breath.
One layer of combat uniform, one layer of Black God Suit.
It really wouldn't be easy to hurt Li Yao, let alone kill him!
"Looks like I can only carry out the second plan," Luo Feng thought.
Through the thick grass, Luo Feng flew slowly along the ground.
The distance between them kept shrinking...
400 meters, 350 meters, 300 meters...
In the blink of an eye, they were only 100 meters apart!
Luo Feng willed it. Eight S-grade flying daggers silently flew out of his pants pockets, plunged into the ground, and began moving underground toward Vulture Li Yao's group.
Luo Feng stopped, lying motionless on the ground.
