Beginner War God

Time flew by, and it was late July.

Yun He's movement technique had reached the perfect level three months earlier.

Now, he had even comprehended the artistic conception level.

His artistic conception was speed-blinding speed, like light itself.

His swordsmanship followed the same principle. Combined with his movement technique, it emphasized one thing: speed, flashing past in an instant.

Perhaps it was the influence of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, or perhaps it was driven by his own will. Whatever the reason, he had naturally comprehended the light artistic conception.

He had just tested his strength yesterday.

His last test had been in early January, and now it was late July.

A full seven months had passed.

His strength now stood at 72,658 kg.

His physical fitness had officially entered the Beginner War God level.

On top of that, he had mastered the fifth layer of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade last month, giving him a 4.2-fold power multiplier.

At full power, his strength reached a staggering 305,152 kg!

Intermediate War God: 128,000-256,000 kg.

High-level War God: 256,000-512,000 kg.

At full power, Yun He had already reached the High-level War God threshold!

Last month, Yun He had deliberately gone out to hunt several high-level Beast General monsters. He had sold their materials to the Limit Martial Hall for over five billion in Huaxia Currency, bringing his contribution rating to Three-Star, and purchased the manuals for the fifth, sixth, and seventh layers of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.

At the same time, his fighter rank had become Advanced War General, and everyone in the residential area immediately shut their mouths.

Yes, an Advanced War General was no joke.

He was currently the strongest person in the Mingyue Residential Area, bar none.

Now, everyone's tune had changed: as expected of a genius recruited early by the martial hall-he had kept quiet until he stunned everyone!

Even without attending the War God Training Camp, his progress was terrifying. He rarely left the house? That was because he was training hard at home!

Wu Tong had also been badly startled. What was going on?

Yun He, the genius he had always considered a lazy slacker, had actually turned things around?

He hurried over to Yun He's home to find out what had happened.

Yun He explained that he had simply been lucky. He had happened upon several Advanced Beast General monsters fighting over territory, beating one another bloody. In the end, all six had been gravely wounded and left barely breathing, letting him reap a huge windfall.

Yes, that was exactly what had happened.

Wu Tong left in frustration, feeling that his intelligence had been seriously insulted.

All six gravely wounded?

Do you think I believe that?

Pah! Like hell I do!

You lazy slacker, you're a devious one!

There was nothing Wu Tong could do. He certainly couldn't beat Yun He in a fight, since he was only an Intermediate War General himself. All he could do was pretend he knew nothing about it.

Yun He continued keeping a low profile and training hard in the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.

He had mastered the fifth layer in just a month, and he felt close to mastering the sixth and seventh as well. At most, he would finish them in two or three months.

By then, he would have a 5.6-fold power multiplier, and his physical fitness should be close to the peak of the Beginner War God level.

Hmm, somewhere between ninety-odd thousand and a hundred thousand kilograms.

At full power, multiplied by 5.6...

Heh, I just want to ask-who else can match me?

Beginner War Gods? I could take on ten!

Well, ordinary Beginner War Gods, the kind without a high power multiplier.

Intermediate War Gods?

Uh, why would I go picking a fight with an Intermediate War God for no reason? Do you think I'm stupid?

Isn't staying alive better?

A few more days passed, and August 1 arrived.

Yun He was in the training hall on the second floor of his villa, pondering the power exertion technique for the sixth layer of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.

"Thunder God really does know his stuff. No wonder he's currently the second-strongest person on Earth. This way of exerting power is pretty clever..."

Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz~

The Communication Watch he had set aside began vibrating.

"Hmm?"

Annoyed at having his training interrupted, Yun He walked over and picked up the Communication Watch.

Sure enough, it was that brat Luo Feng again. He called every few days. What a nuisance.

And he had even started a video call.

Yun He answered and said irritably, "What is it? Have you got too much time on your hands lately?"

But Luo Feng's expression on the screen was serious, his voice low. "Brother, I might be exposed!"

Uh.

Exposed?

Exposed how?

Yun He blinked, unable to catch on for a moment.

Lately, all his attention had been on the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade. He hadn't thought about anything else.

Seeing Yun He's blank expression, Luo Feng could only remind him helplessly, "Hall Master Hong announced in front of everyone that I'm a Spiritualist..."

Looking grave, Luo Feng rapidly recounted what had happened.

It turned out that all the students in Luo Feng's War God Training Camp were departing for the Australian Continent today, August 1, for a life-and-death adventure. Before their departure, the world's strongest man, Hong, the master of the Limit Martial Hall, had come to inspect them. He had discovered that Luo Feng was actually a Spiritualist with exceptionally powerful spiritual force, and had casually mentioned it in front of everyone.

After taking dragon blood, Luo Feng's physical fitness was now extremely close to the Beginner War God level, while his spiritual force had nearly reached the High-level War God threshold.

No wonder even Hong had been amazed.

"Ah."

Yun He understood at once, and also recalled the plot of the original novel.

"Brother, I'm about to leave for the Australian Continent. With my current strength, I'm not afraid of Vulture Li Yao taking revenge, but I'm afraid he'll go after my family. I've already asked Hall Master Hong, and he agreed to protect them. But I'm still worried, so I'd like to ask you to help look after them," Luo Feng pleaded.

"Don't worry."

Yun He nodded. "Just go to the Australian Continent. I'll be here to watch over things at home. There's nothing to worry about."

Luo Feng nodded gratefully, then feigned curiosity as he asked, "Brother, how strong are you now?"

"You little brat."

Yun He laughed and scolded him. "A few months at the War God Training Camp, and you've gotten cocky, huh? I can still give you a beating without any trouble."

At the same time, he silently added, Of course, only if you don't use your spiritual force.

Hearing this, Luo Feng immediately felt relieved. Brother is still Brother-as unfathomable as ever!

"Brother, I'll hang up now," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Wait."

"What is it?"

Yun He rubbed his chin, choosing his words. "If you come across anything good on this trip to the Australian Continent, remember to save some for me."

"Anything good?" Luo Feng was baffled. I'm going on a life-and-death adventure, and I'll probably have Li Yao and his wife hunting me down too. Where am I supposed to find anything good? Do you think I'm going sightseeing and bringing back souvenirs?

"Yes, something with effects similar to dragon blood, for instance. If you find anything like that, just remember to bring some back for me," Yun He said.

"Uh, all right." Time was short, and they were about to depart. Luo Feng had no time to probe further, so he could only nod and agree for now.

"One more thing. You studied the theory behind Laser Weapons at school, right? If Li Yao comes after you, keep that in mind," Yun He added.

"Laser Weapons?" Luo Feng nodded thoughtfully, then ended the call.

Has the plot already reached this point?

Yun He put down the Communication Watch and scratched his forehead. Time really flies!

Thinking of the Australian Continent filled him with anticipation.

He knew that Luo Feng would stumble upon Mist Island while being hunted by Li Yao. There were many plant spirits there, including millennium willow hearts and ten-thousand-year willow hearts.

With Yun He's current physical fitness, taking just one could easily make him a High-level War God!

Even Luo Feng, whose physical fitness was at the peak of the Advanced War General level and barely touched the Beginner War God threshold, had multiplied his strength several times after taking one, reaching the peak of the Intermediate War God level and fully unleashing his spiritual force.

His overall strength had made him invincible among War Gods!

Yun He estimated that after taking one, his physical fitness would rapidly reach the High-level War God level.
