Welcoming the Newcomers

In the afternoon, Luo Feng trained intensely in the underground chamber, while Xu Qing sat alone on the balcony fishing.

No, it should be called meditation, because he had his eyes closed.

Of course, it would be even more perfect if his head didn't nod so much.

If someone is next to him, you can almost not feel his presence; it's as if he has merged with Heaven and Earth and earth, becoming one with nature, inseparable from it.

This is the state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

He usually enters this state when fishing or daydreaming, which makes him feel very comfortable and his mind is very clear, but he is easily disturbed.

In this state, the cosmic energy in the air would all drill into his body, as if he were being drawn there by an invisible gravitational force.

At this moment, Zhao Ruo walked over and stood in front of the attic, immediately spotting Xu Qing on the balcony.

Seeing Xu Qing's seemingly dozing off, Zhao Ruo couldn't help but chuckle. "No way, is he really dozing off?"

"Xu Qing, what are you doing?" Zhao Ruo asked.

"Huh? Senior sister, what brings you here?" Xu Qing up and looked down.

Zhao Ruo smiled. "Xu Qing, were you dozing off just now?"

"Of course not, I was meditating, it's obvious, okay?" Xu Qing pouted.

"Alright, tonight is your and Luo Feng's welcome dinner. It starts at eight o'clock, don't forget," Zhao Ruo didn't believe it at all. She saw Xu Qing's head nodding, he was dozing off.

"A welcome dinner? We can eat delicious food? Great, I got it!" Xu Qing perked up immediately.

"Pfft... I didn't know you were such a foodie. I remember it was eight o'clock, and it's past five now. There are still more than two hours left. Tell Luo Feng not to be late," Zhao Ruo said with a smile.

Xu Qing nodded, "I know, I know, how could I possibly forget him?"

"Okay, I'll come back later," Zhao Ruo chuckled, turned around and went back to her attic.

Xu Qing stood up, stretched, and said, "I feel like I'm about to break through, I think."

In other words, after a period of further training, his physical attributes will be able to break through from the level of Junior War General to that of Intermediate War General.

Xu Qing then went to the basement.

Luo Feng, shirtless, was seen punching the solid Kro Alloy wall, sweating profusely from the effort.

"Brother-in-law, our welcome dinner is at eight o'clock," Xu Qing called out from the doorway.

"Understood," Luo Feng paused, responded, and then continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

Seeing that he had responded, Xu Qing considered the message delivered and turned to leave the underground chamber.

"Not bad, my brother-in-law is working very hard and deserves praise," Xu Qing thought to himself.

Time quickly passed to 7:30.

Just then, Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang came looking for them. "Xu Qing, Luo Feng, are you done yet?"

"Coming, coming," Xu Qing said as he came out.

"Where's Luo Feng?" Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang looked behind him but didn't see Luo Feng.

"He's worked up a good sweat and went to change his clothes," Xu Qing replied.

Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang were quite surprised; it was rare to see someone so diligent right after arriving.

After a while, Luo Feng came out after changing his clothes.

"Well done, kid. You got right into the swing of things right away, better than most of the veterans in the Training Camp," Shi Jiang laughed.

"Exactly," Zhao Ruo echoed.

Luo Feng smiled and said, "The early bird catches the worm."

Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang rolled their eyes. "You're a stupid bird? You can't even get into the Elite Training Camp!"

"Why isn't Xu Qing here? I saw him fishing this afternoon," Zhao Ruo glanced at Xu Qing.

"Who said I was fishing? I was meditating, meditating, cultivating," Xu Qing retorted.

Luo Feng added, "Xu Qing is different; he's an absolute prodigy."

"Oh? You actually said that about him? Is Xu Qing that amazing?" Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang were surprised that Luo Feng would praise Xu Qing so highly.

"What, can't I be really good?" Xu Qing crossed her arms and pouted.

"That's not it, the problem is we can't tell at all," Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang looked Xu Qing up and down, finding no trace of strength in him.

"You can't judge a book by its cover, you know? Judging people by their appearance is wrong and must be criticized," Xu Qing said.

Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang laughed. The more you say that, the more likely you are to be right.

"Alright, senior brother, senior sister, let's go. Isn't there a welcome banquet?" Luo Feng interrupted.

"Oh, right, let's hurry up and not be late," Zhao Ruo, ending the conversation with Shi Jiang.

The four of them left Jiangnan Pavilion together to attend a gathering of Huaxia people at the Training Camp.

Besides Xu Qing and his group, there were more than a dozen young, talented Warrior from Huaxia in the Training Camp.

Second floor of the restaurant.

A group of young Warrior from Huaxia Country gathered here to welcome the two newcomers Xu Qing and Luo Feng.

"Junior Brother Xu Qing, why are you only eating and not drinking?" the senior brothers asked with a smile.

"What's so good about alcohol? It's sour and bitter. I'd rather eat something. Who wants to have an eating contest with me? Whoever wins will get a little red flower as a reward," Xu Qing began stuffing food into his mouth.

The others stared in disbelief. How could someone so small eat so much? And how did he manage to stuff such a huge piece of food into his mouth?

"Eat... Guang'an, what am I eating?" Xu Qing ate and spoke at the same time, but couldn't even speak clearly.

Everyone else gathered around him, watching him eat, finding it quite amusing.

"Lin Hong, Teacher Yang really say he has the potential to break into the top five on the leaderboard?" a young man asked Lin Hong.

Lin Hong nodded. "That's what Teacher Yang said."

"Really? He's a newcomer who just joined the team and he's already in the top five of the rankings? How is he that good?" Everyone else was astonished.

However, looking at Xu Qing eating, all I could think of him was that he was cute and harmless; I couldn't see anything else about him.

"Since it was Teacher Yang who said it, it shouldn't be false," Lin Hong thought.

"Lin Hong, you initially mistook her for a girl, didn't you? Haha," someone joked.

Lin Hong glared at him, "What do you mean? You're only talking about me, aren't you all the same?"

Ten minutes later, Xu Qing was still eating; fifteen minutes later, Xu Qing was still eating; twenty minutes later, she was still eating.

He ate most of the food on the table by himself.

The noise he made while eating attracted everyone's attention, and they all watched him eat, creating a very strange scene.

"Luo Feng, how can Xu Qing eat so much? And, does he not know when he's full? Won't this cause him problems?" Zhao Ruo asked Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was also completely dumbfounded, because it was the first time he had ever seen Xu Qing eat, and it was really a bit scary.

"Never mind, let's make him stop first," Luo Feng thought for a moment and decided to do so anyway.

Then, he called Zhao Ruo and pulled Xu Qing out of his seat.
