Improvement

Those forces must have thought of this as well, which is why they are all paying attention to that area now.

Hong was also staring at that spot, at the Beast Emperor, seemingly preparing to strike and kill it.

"With so many people there, what would I do there? Even if there were some treasures, how much would I get? In the end, I might still have to work for the Master of the Dojo."

"Forget it, let's just pretend I didn't see it. That way, I can avoid running into the Huaxia Military. I'll just continue my path to dominating the oceans. Freedom is great," Xu Qing thought for a long time, but ultimately decided to ignore it.

Anyway, Hong didn't force him to come; he just explained the situation to him and told him to go if he was interested.

Xu Qing was naturally uninterested.

"Dear Master of the Dojo, I'm very busy, so I won't be able to make it," Xu Qing replied with a message.

Upon receiving Xu Qing's reply, Hong raised an eyebrow. "Busy? So busy you're not even interested in your darling anymore? Oh well, it's no big deal if he's gone."

Hong wasn't too concerned; he was more curious about Xu Qing's current strength level, which should have already broken through to the Planetary Level.

However, Xu Qing hadn't updated his personal Warrior information, nor had he visited the War God Palace, so no one knew his level.

Hong guessed that, given Xu Qing's cultivation speed, he was likely already at the peak of the first level of the Planetary Level, and not far from the second level.

This speed is already quite fast. After all, although he and Thor grew quickly, it was during the Great Nirvana Period, which took them several decades.

Even if Xu Qing is more monstrous than him and Thor, it wouldn't be too outrageous.

In fact, Xu Qing is already at the third level of the Planetary Level. If Hong knew this, he would definitely be shocked.

Boom!

On this day, an ancient roar echoed across the Pacific Ocean. A Black Tortoise, over a hundred meters tall, roared in the sea, and the seawater, as if imbued with life, parted to create a passageway in the ocean.

At the end of the passage, a King Level monster roared repeatedly. It was a King Level walrus with ferocious tusks and a swinging trunk. Its body was over two hundred meters long, resembling a black mountain of flesh.

It stared intently ahead, the pale blue Black Tortoise radiating an oppressive aura. In front of its opponent, its control over the seawater was Extreme Point weak, almost completely stripped away.

It had never encountered anything like this before. What was this thing? It didn't look like a living thing, but it was so lifelike and full of spirit.

In the center of Black Tortoise, a figure floated up and down; it was Xu Qing.

"This is the true Divine Beast Black Tortoise, which controls all the waters under heaven and is known as the Water God," Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.

These days, he has been perfecting his Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path, endowing the eight Divine Aspect with more spirituality and bringing out more of the divine charm belonging to the mythical beasts.

As Xu Qing perfected the Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path, his understanding of the power of nature deepened, and gradually, he was able to unleash even greater power from the Divine Aspect.

For example, Black Tortoise commands all the waters under heaven. Although it is far from being fully realized yet, it has already begun to take shape.

"However, the main reason I was able to do this is because of my understanding of the Natural Pure Land. The Natural Pure Land seems to have infinite potential for extension, that is to say, the Natural Pure Land can continue to evolve," Xu Qing murmured.

Now, his Natural Pure Land has expanded to three hundred meters, and the natural forces within the domain are beginning to evolve.

During the evolution, Xu Qing was able to see many mysteries he had never seen before, which excited him greatly.

Discovering the unknown, deconstructing the unknown, understanding the unknown, and mastering the unknown—this process is captivating.

At this moment, the King Level walrus moved, charging straight towards Xu Qing like a black mountain, treading on the seawater with overwhelming momentum.

However, when it reached a point 300 meters away from Black Tortoise, it seemed to get stuck in a quagmire and could no longer move.

The King Level walrus was completely baffled. What was going on? Why couldn't it move?

It could feel an invisible force acting on it, like vines, binding its entire body and binding it in place, unable to break free.

All around, countless water vapors floated, like dewdrops, all still in the air.

This is part of the power of the Natural Pure Land, the power of water, which has condensed into a separate Water Pure Land.

Although its power cannot compare to a complete Natural Pure Land, it is not far off.

Roar!

The King Level walrus roared, filled with boundless fear, and wanted to turn and flee.

But it was too late.

"Since you're already here, why run away, Xiaohai?" Xu Qing smiled slightly, waved his hand, and Black Tortoise raised its head. In the Water Pure Land, countless water droplets gathered towards one point.

A thick waterspout materialized and spun wildly.

It looked like a spinning diamond drill, making a loud whirring sound, all of it drilling towards that King Level walrus.

Puff!

The waterspout tore the King Level walrus's body apart, bursting through it and carrying large amounts of blood and flesh.

The King Level walrus opened its eyes wide and let out a painful scream as waterspouts relentlessly pierced its body, as if it were being torn apart by a thousand knives.

One minute later, the wrecked body of the King Level walrus fell into the sea and perished.

"Although there are many King Level monsters in these seas, their levels are generally no higher than the second tier. So far, I haven't even encountered a third-tier one," Xu Qing said, his face showing no emotion as he killed a King Level monster.

Over the past year, he has killed no fewer than thirty King Level monsters, and he's become numb to it all.

Because of his overwhelming strength, killing King Level monsters is as easy as playing a game for him, without any pressure.

"I wonder where those two Beast Emperor are. Maybe we can try to get close to them," Xu Qing pondered.

An Octopus Beast Emperor and a Thunder Dragon Beast Emperor are arguably Xu Qing's best opponents at present. They are about three or four levels higher in level, neither too strong nor too weak.

Unfortunately, these two Beast Emperor are elusive and rarely show themselves; no one knows which sea they reside in.

"Forget it, I'll just continue using those King Level monsters for training. I can still explore the Natural Pure Land, and I can continue to improve my Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path Archery. That's enough to keep me busy." With a thought, Xu Qing dismissed the Divine Beast Black Tortoise, and the sea returned to normal.

Next, it will be Xu Qing's time to truly dominate the seas.

Xu Qing continued to command Zero to search for the King Level monsters on the seabed. After locking onto their locations, they were killed with a single arrow. There was no longer any need to dive into the deep sea to carry out any assassinations.

And so, another two months passed.

Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins, Underground Base.

The pitch-black entrance suddenly opened, and a man emerged, unshaven with shoulder-length hair. It was Luo Feng, who had been undergoing Death Mission Assessment inside the Ancient Civilization Ruins.

From October of last year to October of this year, exactly one year has passed.

Just as Xu Qing had said, he successfully passed the assessment and left the Ancient Civilization Ruins in just one year.

"Hello, War God Luo Feng, we knew you would be coming out in the next few days, so we have prepared a guest room," said the same Red-Robed Elder.

"Huh? How did you know I'd be coming out in the next few days?" Luo Feng asked curiously, wondering if the owner of the ruins had given him advance notice.

"It was War God Xu Qing who instructed us, saying that War God Luo Feng would be able to come out in a year," the Red-Robed Elder explained.

"Xiao Qing?" Luo Feng asked in surprise.

It seems Xu Qing must have spoken with the owner of the ruins, which is why he knew he was undergoing Death Mission Assessment.

However, Xu Qing's certainty that he would be released in a year suggests he has great confidence in him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so accurate, since the owner of the ruins had given himself a three-year deadline.

"This kid's eyesight is as good as ever," Luo Feng chuckled.

Afterwards, Luo Feng went to his guest room, tidied himself up, and then boarded his private jet to leave.

Hongning Base City.

Luo Feng stepped off the private jet and, led by a staff member, approached Hong.

"Hmm? You've broken through. Very good. It seems you gained a lot from the Ancient Civilization Ruins," Hong could tell at a glance that Luo Feng had broken through to the Planetary Level.

"Yes, besides a Black God Set, I also obtained a cultivation method for Spirit Controller," Luo Feng nodded.

Hong was not surprised, after all, Xu Qing had talked to him a year ago that Luo Feng should receive the inheritance of the Spirit Controller lineage.

"The Dojo will buy this Black God Set," Hong knew that Luo Feng had a Black God Set, which was a trophy.

Luo Feng nodded. "Okay."

"Now that you have broken through to the Planetary Level, your status Inspector of Jiangnan Base City is too low. From now on, you are the Inspector of my Limit Martial Arts Hall."

"With Xu Qing included, my Limit Martial Arts Hall will have eight Inspector," Hong laughed.

Luo Feng nodded. War God Warrior break through to the Planetary Level in the Limit Martial Arts Hall will automatically become Inspector of the Dojo.

"There will definitely be an inauguration ceremony then. As for Xu Qing, he's never home. He's always wandering around at sea, having a great time. I bet if I call him, he'll find an excuse not to come back," Hong shook his head.

Upon hearing Hong's words, Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat. "Xiao Qing went to sea?"

"Yes, starting from the East Sea, they went all the way east, all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Quite a few King Level monsters have died at his hands," Hong laughed.

He paused, then added, "I also heard that his wife can't get him to come back even when she calls him, haha, I don't know if it's true or not."

At this point, Hong burst out laughing; it sounded really funny.

Luo Feng smiled too; based on his understanding of Xu Qing, it was indeed quite possible.

"Alright, you haven't been home for a year. Go back and see your family. You can come back here for the ceremony later," Hong said a few words before letting Luo Feng leave.

Jiangnan Base City.

A deep blue Smart Fighter Jet appeared in the Mingyue Residential Area Martial Artist Family Residential Area in Yangzhou City.

"Old Luo, is that your son's fighter jet? Has your son returned?" Many people recognized the fighter jet upon seeing it, having seen it many times before.

Luo Feng returned home, and his family was reunited in joy.

The next day, Luo Feng went to Jiangnan University to find Xu Xin.

After finishing the last class, Xu Xin hurriedly left the classroom and ran all the way to the school gate.

"Luo Feng!" Xu Xin spotted the person she had been longing for at a glance and rushed over excitedly.

"Xu Xin, I'm back," Luo Feng said, opening his arms to embrace the beauty.

In the coffee shop, Luo Feng and Xu Xin were chatting.

"What? You mean, Senior Sister Zhao Ruo has fallen for Xiao Qing, and the two of them are together?" Luo Feng was astonished when he heard Xu Xin mention this.

Zhao Ruo liked Xu Qing, but he hadn't really noticed it when they were at the Jiangnan Pavilion.

Because the two of them often got into fights, like children fighting, he even thought Zhao Ruo and Xu Qing were inherently at odds.

I never imagined that the two of them would end up together.

"Haha, do you know how the two of them got together? It was Zhao Ruo..." Xu Xin then revealed some more details.

Luo Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter. "This is what they call 'one thing subdues another,' right? Xiao Qing is indeed very mischievous, and Senior Sister Zhao Ruo has learned from him, truly mastering the art."

"The Master of the Dojo said Xiao Qing is currently in the Pacific Ocean and doesn't want to go home. Could it be related to Teacher Qin and Senior Sister Zhao Ruo?"

"A little bit. At home, Teacher Qin and Zhao Ruo are quite clingy to him. Xiao Qing has a bit of a childlike nature, so he gets a little impatient and wants to avoid them," Xu Xin nodded helplessly.

After a pause, Xu Xin added, "This is probably related to me. I protected him too much when he was little, so he's not quite grown up in some ways and is always a bit mischievous."

Luo Feng was somewhat amused and exasperated, which explained why Xu Qing later became so quirky and mischievous. However, it wasn't a big deal; Xu Qing knew what she needed to know and was good at maintaining boundaries, so she wasn't annoying at all.

In his view, Xu Qing's only flaw was that he had a very strong personality.

"It's okay, it's not a bad thing. Mature people can be just as childlike as children, and they find happiness more easily than others," Luo Feng said.

Xu Xin thought about it and felt that Luo Feng was right. Some people grow up and that's it, while others can remain like children even when they grow up, with a much purer heart.

Such people always possess a particularly clean and attractive quality.

Moreover, they are also very intelligent, possessing keen insight that allows them to see many things.

"Yes, that's why Teacher Qin and Zhao Ruo both really like him and always want to stick close to him. It's probably because he's fun," Xu Xin said with a smile.

What she found somewhat regrettable was that her older sister didn't get to play, because Xu Qing was too adorable as a child, and only underwent significant changes after becoming Warrior.

"Haha, that's true," Luo Feng agreed, adding that being with Xu Qing would definitely be fun.

"By the way, where is Xiao Qing in the Pacific Ocean right now? I'd like to go see him," Luo Feng said after thinking for a moment.

Xu Xin looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, "What, is Xiao Qing more attractive than me?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I didn't say I was going to find him now," Luo Feng quickly waved his hand, annoyed by the misunderstanding.

"Why don't you contact him yourself and find out?" Xu Xin rolled her eyes at him.

Luo Feng shrugged helplessly. It seemed he had said the wrong thing. There was nothing he could do but appease his girlfriend.

This is the second time already. Xu Xin is jealous of her own brother, and she's not afraid that Xu Qing will laugh at her if he finds out.

Over the next few days, Luo Feng spent time with Xu Xin. The two families had already finalized their relationship, and as for when to get married, that was up to the two of them.
