The God of War Falls

"Dad! There's still no news about Teacher Lu!"

As soon as Xu Feng stepped through the front door, Xiao Dan ran up to him with a worried look on her face.

Xu Feng ruffled her hair. "Don't worry. It's just a Beast Tide. Your Teacher Lu is a Battle General martial artist; she's very capable."

"Is that so? Hmph, well, Liu Zixi was saying in class today that Teacher Lu might not be coming back! Just wait until I get there this afternoon—I'll show him!" Xiao Dan said indignantly.

Xu Feng comforted her for a while with a smile before walking into the bathroom with a frown.

Whoosh—

As the misty spray of the shower turned on, a faint look of concern finally appeared on his face.

Yesterday evening, the base issued a notification. A Level 3 Beast Tide had erupted near District 20 of the Wumeng Mountain Region. Exploration teams out in the field had been surrounded by the tide. The base dispatched troops to provide support and simultaneously conscripted all hunters and official martial artists familiar with the terrain to assist. The pay was extremely high. Even Huang Sen couldn't resist and ran off to act as a guide.

Xu Feng didn't get involved. Although he was also worried about Lu Fei, he knew that Lu Fei was at least a Battle General-level martial artist, while he was merely a Primary Warrior. Compared to Lu Fei, Xiao Dan was the one who needed protection the most. However, Xu Feng wasn't worried about the overall situation. The Level 3 Beast Tide was aimed at the human martial artist base in District 20. Lu Fei's exploration team should have only been caught in the crossfire; there shouldn't be any major—

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Dad!"

"Dad, come quick! Something happened!"

Just as that thought crossed Xu Feng's mind, Xiao Dan began pounding on the bathroom door. He jolted, hurriedly pulled on his pants, and rushed out. "What is it?"

But as Xu Feng dashed out, he found only Xiao Dan in the room. There was no danger.

"Ah!" Xiao Dan quickly covered her eyes. "Dad, Uncle Fatty is here! He said something happened!"

Xu Feng: "..."

Feeling utterly speechless, he put on his jacket before opening the door.

"Old Xu! Have you heard? Something huge happened!" Fatty said the moment he entered, his face looking grim.

"What huge thing? Does it affect me eating or drinking?" Xu Feng turned around dismissively and picked up a towel to dry his hair. Xiao Dan obediently took the towel and stood behind the sofa to dry his hair for him.

"A War God. Over in District 20, a War God-grade powerhouse of Great Xia has died!" Fatty said, his lips trembling.

"What?!"

Xu Feng stood up abruptly, startling Xiao Dan.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it has nothing to do with us." Xu Feng realized his reaction and quickly comforted Xiao Dan. He then forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and gave Wang Long a look. "Let's go outside to talk."

"Go play some games; you don't have to do your homework today. Just rest," he said to Xiao Dan with a forced smile.

"Yay!" Xiao Dan nodded and sprinted away.

Only then did Xu Feng turn and head out the door with Wang Long.

"A War God... how could one die?"

As soon as they stepped out into the backyard, Xu Feng couldn't help but look at Wang Long in shock.

"Where did you get this news? It can't be fake, can it?"

That was a War God-grade powerhouse!

The pinnacle of human martial artists!

An existence that transcended the limits of humanity!

A god-like figure in the hearts of thousands of martial artists!!

How could a War God die?!!!

Wang Long appeared distraught: "You know I have some connections with the Base Pharmaceutical Department.

The old vice-minister told me this himself.

He wants to recruit me. He said the serum I'm researching would be a huge help for battlefield survival or something.

But I have no heart to think about that right now!

Old Xu! That was a War God powerhouse! To think he died in a Beast Tide!"

However, Xu Feng was worried about something else.

Lu Fei was also in an exploration squad near District 20.

If even a War God powerhouse couldn't escape unscathed, what about a Battle General?

"Do you know the specifics? How did that War God die?" Xu Feng asked urgently.

"I don't know. I only know a War God died, but I don't know exactly what happened.

The old man said the base will release an official notice tonight.

The fall of a War God is a major event; I expect the entire Wumeng Mountain Region is about to be turned upside down.

I came to find you for two reasons: first, to tell you this, and second, to ask for your advice—should I join the Pharmaceutical Department?"

Xu Feng took a deep breath, trying to soothe the shock in his heart.

After a moment, Xu Feng had to admit one thing.

That was, he was powerless.

Whether it was the fall of a War God, the Beast Tide attack, or the exploration squad being trapped.

He was powerless to do anything.

Rubbing his face, Xu Feng looked at Wang Long: "I think this is an opportunity for you, if the base's Pharmaceutical Department is truly recruiting you.

I don't know much about the medicine you're researching, but I can tell you have a real talent for it.

Although you hate their bureaucratic ways and rigid system.

Working alone at home behind closed doors will never lead to great achievements.

The fall of a War God will definitely trigger a series of changes, yes, but our lives must go on.

If the situation in the Dimension Realm worsens, joining the Pharmaceutical Department might not be a bad thing.

The storm is coming. Finding a powerful backer to lean on is the right move right now."

Hearing Xu Feng's words, Wang Long's chubby face trembled slightly: "You're right, Old Xu, you're right. I'm heading out!"

Fatty came in a rush and left in a rush.

He left Xu Feng alone, sitting on the chair outside the door in a daze.

A moment later, he stood up abruptly, turned back into the house to grab his Battle Blade, and went to the backyard.

"Hiss!"

Accompanied by a faint sound of wind, Xu Feng slowly calmed his heart and began to practice his blade.

Worry, anxiety, panic, and urgency—all negative emotions gradually vanished as the Battle Blade swung.

In Xu Feng's mind, only one thought remained.

Become stronger!

That night, the base issued a general announcement.

Xu Feng's communicator also received the message.

The notice was an obituary for the War God "Jade Blade Yao Feng," as well as a report on the battlefield situation.

The Martial University in District 20 was nearly breached during a Level 3 Beast Tide.

Tasked with a critical mission, the Jade Blade War God "Yao Feng" chose to leave the city alone to lure the beast herd away from the base.

Originally, the strength of a Level 3 Beast Tide should not have been able to threaten a War God powerhouse.

But unexpectedly, a Lord-grade Wumeng Mountain alien, a "Spine Feather Bird," was hidden within the Level 3 Beast Tide.

In Earth's legends.

The Spine Feather Bird is the divine bird that helped the Miao mythology creature "Butterfly Mother" hatch her eggs in the Wumeng Mountain region.

Many human history experts believe that the true origin of the divine bird that created all things in Miao legends is actually the Spine Feather Bird species from this Dimension Realm.

Some human historians even believed that in ancient times, the Sky Pit Dimensional Realm was once connected to Earth.

It was only later that the connection was severed due to an accident.

That was why those ethereal legends of mythical creatures remained.

Logically, these were all basic facts found in history textbooks.

However, the original owner did not know much about history, having only memorized it by rote back when he was in school.

Much of it had been forgotten after he started working.

Therefore, facing this announcement, Xu Feng could only focus on the key points.

Under the sneak attack of a Lord Grade alien, the War God Yao Feng was exhausted to death by the Beast Tide.

Fortunately, War God powerhouses from District 21 and District 22 arrived with their teams shortly after, forcibly breaking through the Beast Tide and slaying that alien Lord.

The announcement subsequently called for all martial artists to observe a moment of silence at home for "War God Yao Feng."

At the same time, given the current situation, the aliens would certainly not let the matter rest.

Therefore, the base was recruiting a large number of high-level talents to prepare for a new round of warfare.

Furthermore, every household was required to be prepared to prevent stray beast packs from causing chaos.

The end of the announcement also listed a series of job openings, the number of positions, and the requirements for education and skill levels.

Xu Feng saw the recruitment for "Military Communicator Repair Engineer" at a glance.

It required the ability to repair military communicators, communication antennas, base station antennas, vehicle-mounted antennas, airborne antennas, and so on.

Although the salary wasn't posted, he didn't need to think twice to know it would be higher than what he made now!

Although his current job was already quite good and could be considered military communicator repair.

He was only responsible for very low-end mobile communicators, mostly low-to-mid-range models like the Series 9 and Series 6.

The high monthly Martial Loan payments and living expenses forced Xu Feng to find ways to cut costs and increase his income.

Therefore, he had to try for this job.

Perhaps he could even take this opportunity to inquire about the status of the exploration teams.

Moreover, if he could successfully land the position, perhaps when the regional situation deteriorated, he would be able to get information firsthand by blending into the team of high-level military repairmen.

The storm was coming, and he had to prepare early.
