Level Three War Alert!

By the time Xu Feng brought Xiao Dan home, it was already nine at night.

Before leaving, Xu Feng had still warned Liu Yu that the situation might change soon and told her to be careful and not go wandering outside.

Liu Yu just smiled and said Xu Feng was worrying too much.

Seeing that, Xu Feng said no more.

The first thing he did after getting home was check the tunnel.

When he found that no one had discovered the emergency exit and that the valuables in the tunnel were all still there, Xu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After telling Xiao Dan to wash up and get ready for bed, Xu Feng washed up and began training.

He stuck to the same routine: flying blades, White Wolf Blade Technique, and Nine Star Body Refining Art.

But this time, he added the Mind Movement Psychic Secret Art.

"Clang—"

In the backyard, Xu Feng drew the C-Grade Alloy Weapon in his hand, the Flowing Wind Blade, and examined it carefully.

It was said that higher-grade alloy weapons contained a rare material called "Kunlun."

This special metal had been discovered long ago in the Sky Pit World by the vanguard forces of humanity.

Since it had been found in the Kunlun Mountain Region of a Dimension Realm, people called this specially made alloy "Kunlun Alloy."

The blade felt about as heavy in his hand as the old one Xu Feng had used before.

However, according to official data, its sharpness, durability, and toughness far surpassed those of Earth's alloy weapons.

Of course, C-Grade alloy weapons were the lowest-tier weapons, so they were also the cheapest.

Above them were B-Grade, A-Grade, and even the exceedingly rare and valuable S-Grade Alloy Weapons.

But those things were worth tens of millions.

They were far beyond Xu Feng's reach at the moment, so he didn't dwell on them.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

After swinging the blade twice, Xu Feng nodded slightly and threw himself into training.

He wanted to wring every last drop of medicinal effect from the Blood Qi Potion.

He trained until around midnight, then finally headed back inside, drenched in sweat.

After taking a shower, Xu Feng carefully lay down on the bed and began practicing Mind Movement.

Training in a Psychic Secret Art was more like meditation.

As a result, progress was normally impossible to sense; only a qualitative change would draw a person's attention.

But that was how things worked normally, and Xu Feng wasn't normal.

[Mind Movement · Beginner (5/50)]

After watching the words slowly fade, Xu Feng brought up his blood qi value as well.

[Blood Qi: 194c]

"Ah, my aptitude is limited. Looks like one potion can raise my blood qi by only nine points at most."

But Xu Feng wasn't discouraged. He knew himself well.

After that brief sigh, he closed his eyes and began meditating.

The third day.

He took his daughter to school, took his potion, trained, and went to bed.

As time went on, Xu Feng grew more and more anxious.

With danger closing in, he was a forty-year-old young man who had never experienced an attack or a war.

Of course he was nervous.

Xu Feng had always been clear about his own strength, so he never dreamed of becoming a hero or striking it rich.

Reality was always real and cruel.

Before bed, Xu Feng checked his status panel again and felt a little more at ease.

[Blood Qi: 202c]

"According to the Earth Martial Artist Alliance's standards, the minimum blood qi for a Quasi-Warrior is 200c.

"The threshold for a true Warrior Grade fighter is 250c. In other words, I'm now a Quasi-Warrior eligible to join the Martial University reserve forces."

He lay on the bed with a wistful look and gently clenched his fist.

It felt wonderful to take his fate into his own hands and grow stronger bit by bit.

He had achieved what the original Xu Feng had never done, or even dreamed of doing.

The minimum standard for a Quasi-Warrior was a punch strength of 900 kilograms, and their speed could reach around 20 meters per second.

What kind of power was that? In his previous life, that would have made someone a little superhero.

"And yet in this world, I'm still at the bottom. There's nothing to be proud of."

Xu Feng silently reminded himself, suppressing his excitement.

"Sleep. I'll keep training tomorrow morning!"

But—

Before Xu Feng could settle into sleep, a tremendous boom and rumble suddenly erupted from the northeast.

The entire shack shook slightly.

"Woooooo—"

"Woooooo—"

An alarm like an air-raid siren rang through the night sky.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Feng flipped back the covers and jumped out of bed, rushing to the window. His face changed dramatically. "A Level Three War Alert! How could this happen?!"

Through the window, he saw several helicopters and fighter jets hovering in the sky above the base.

At the same time—

A sharp eagle's cry rang out from above.

It was followed by a piercing roar and terrifying sound waves that were almost unbearable.

"Crash!"

Countless panes of glass shattered instantly at the eagle's cry.

Xu Feng, who was leaning over the window, suddenly widened his eyes. He saw a sight he would never forget for the rest of his life.

A gigantic black shadow, large enough to blot out the sky, plunged down from above.

The fighter jets flying through the air exploded like fireworks.

Then a dazzling beam of white light shot out from the base, piercing nearly half of the giant eagle's wing.

After that came earth-shaking roars from beasts, one after another, while the thunder of countless machine-gun rounds shook the whole sky.

It was as if the night had burst into flames!

Xu Feng took a deep breath and abruptly came to his senses. "What am I standing here gawking for?"

"Xiao Dan!!!"

He spun around and shoved the bed aside.

Then he threw open the makeshift alloy hatch to the underground tunnel.

"Quick, get inside!"

Xiao Dan jolted upright in bed and grabbed her clothes.

As if they had rehearsed it countless times, she hopped out of bed and climbed into the tunnel with practiced ease.

Xu Feng glanced at the red sky outside the window, grabbed the Battle Blade leaning against the head of the bed, and pulled the bed back into place with his other hand.

Once that was done, he yanked a bottle of powder from the bedside table drawer, scattered a few handfuls beneath the bed, then tossed a few more around the room.

Only then did Xu Feng crawl beneath the bed, leap into the tunnel, and slam the hatch shut.

"Shh!"

As soon as he entered the tunnel, Xu Feng switched on the cold light lamp he had prepared in advance.

Seeing the tension on Xiao Dan's little face, he pulled his daughter into his arms and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be scared."

"Mm. I'm with Dad, so I'm not scared," Xiao Dan said firmly. Then she quickly added, "Dad, should we check the cameras?"

"Okay."

Xu Feng turned and crawled into a temporary hollow he had dug in the tunnel.

It contained enough food and clean water to last him and his daughter half a month.

There was also a simple, secondhand surveillance system, a well-used portable power supply, and an old drone he had repaired.

"Beep—"

Xu Feng's expression changed as soon as he turned on the monitor.

Across the road from their front door, dozens of figures flashed across the rooftops, roaring as they sprinted toward the base.

Suddenly, two of them stopped on a rooftop and looked toward Xu Feng's house.
