After becoming an apprentice, Thunder God slapped his bald head and said, "Without a master, there's no one to take care of us. There are only the three of us in this sect. Where else can you find such a good deal!"
"We'll set the rules ourselves!" Hong said with a smile.
"If we discover any geniuses on Earth who are of good character in the future, we can accept them. After all, there are so many powerful beings in the universe, it would be difficult for just a few of us to support them," Hong continued.
"Okay, you can each do your own evaluations, and then we'll assess everyone together. If everyone agrees, we'll admit you." Zhang Junbao nodded. He thought of Luo Feng, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time, and wondered how he was doing.
"How dare you ignore me, the great Lord Babata! Anyone who wants to join the Yunmo Star Lineage must obtain my consent!" Babata shouted.
"Yes, yes, Babata is the greatest."
The three laughed and said in unison. Babata's true nature was completely exposed to them; he had no secrets whatsoever.
" Babata, give them the information about martial artists from Teacher Hu Yanbo. These are cultivation materials left behind by powerful beings from the universe, extremely valuable, enough for you to digest for a while."
"But these were all collected by the master with great effort," Babata said, trying to persuade him.
"Now that we are all disciples of Master Hu Yanbo, what is there to hide? Only when we become stronger can the Yunmo Star Lineage become even stronger, right?"
"Why don't you help translate it into Huaxia characters? That way, it'll be easier for him to learn," Zhang Junbao advised Babata.
Zhang Junbao realized that perhaps it was because he had been alone for too long, Babata had painstakingly selected materials for Hu Yanbo's legacy over tens of thousands of years. As a result, he had become like a stingy old lady in a vegetable market, clinging to the information left by Hu Yanbo and refusing to let go. This made Zhang Junbao feel somewhat ashamed.
"No, since you want to learn the legacy of the universe's strongest beings, you must first learn the Universal Language, including you, Zhang Junbao, you must learn it too."
Otherwise, if I obtain cultivation information from other powerful individuals in the future, will I have to translate it all? You should know that even the best translators would find it difficult to capture the original meaning.
"The path of cultivation is so precise that a slight deviation can lead to disastrous consequences. If you study my translations, you can only learn according to my understanding. If I misunderstand, you will also be wrong." This was Babata's final insistence on having them learn the Universal Language.
"You're right. It's difficult for any translation to capture the essence of the original language. So, could you please guide us in mastering the Universal Language first?" Zhang Junbao said.
Hong and Thunder God, who were standing nearby, nodded in agreement. Indeed, relying on translations to learn secret techniques was unreliable.
Just as Zhang Junbao and the others were becoming disciples, Luo Feng encountered an unprecedented crisis.
Because Zhang Junbao had a good relationship with the Fire Hammer Squad, and Luo Feng was Zhang Junbao's classmate and close friend, and they all lived in the Mingyue Residential Area, Luo Feng joined the Fire Hammer Squad after becoming a martial artist.
Meanwhile, facing the Fire Hammer Squad, stood three martial artists, their expressions tense and their stances taut, creating a very dangerous situation.
The three warriors facing the Fire Hammer Squad were a mixed-race youth, a middle-aged white strongman, and an old man who looked like a butler.
These three were the same three people Zhang Junbao had encountered in the Wilderness Zone: Li Wei and his companions.
"What a despicable Fire Hammer Squad! They actually dared to deceive me! They even lied to me, saying they didn't know Zhang Junbao's whereabouts, and that they would complete their mission later!"
Zhang Junbao deceived me, he deserves to die! You all conspired with him to deceive me, you deserve to die too!
Because of this incident, I've been ridiculed by my family for so long. Today, I've finally met my match. Old Liu, kill them all! Leave no one alive! Li Wei shouted menacingly.
Luo Feng was unaware of the situation, only knowing that the three people in front of him had a past conflict with the Fire Hammer Squad, and that Zhang Junbao was even involved.
"Damn it, how did I run into them!" Gao Feng gritted his teeth, his brain racing as he thought of a way to escape.
Zhang Ke, who was standing nearby, quickly explained the situation to Luo Feng.
"That mixed-race youth Li Wei, and his background seems to be quite extraordinary."
Zhang Junbao encountered us while fleeing in the Wilderness Zone. We didn't recognize him then. After we defeated a Double-Headed Black-Line Snake together, we met these three people, who were also looking for Zhang Junbao.
Junbao even told them that once they found the person, they would present him with both hands.
"I see. It seems they discovered afterward that the person they were talking to was Junbao. No wonder there was a conflict between them." Luo Feng's eyes were cold. Because of his connection, his strength had improved rapidly, and his control over his power far surpassed that of others at the same level.
The three men in front of him were after Zhang Junbao's own selfish interests and wanted to find and forcibly detain him. It was normal for Zhang Junbao not to reveal his identity.
But now they're taking their anger out on the Fire Hammer Squad, how can Luo Feng stand idly by? On one side are his close friends who are both his mentor and friend, and on the other are his brothers who have gone through thick and thin together. On the other side, these three arrogant and domineering martial artists, relying on their powerful backgrounds and strength, actually want to launch a surprise attack on their squad in the Wilderness Zone.
Luo Feng was furious!
" Luo Feng, don't be impulsive. That mixed-race youth on the other side has a powerful background. His parents are both Wargod, and he is also Intermediate Warlord. The other two are his bodyguards, who are even High-Level Warlord. Our strength is no match for them!" Gao Feng said.
On the Fire Hammer Squad's side, only Gao Feng is Intermediate Warlord, Luo Feng is already Beginner Warlord, while Zhang Ke, Wei Qing, Wei Tie, and Chen Gu, who uses firearms, are only Advanced Warrior.
The two sides were vastly unequal in strength, and because the encounter was unexpected, Chen Gu, who was using firearms, had no opportunity to hide, thus drastically reducing his threat level. In fact, due to his lack of proficiency in close combat, he could very well become the enemy's weak point.
"What should I do?" Luo Feng's mind raced, and his heart pounded.
"If I reveal my Spiritual Force, I can defeat them. At worst, I'll just have to admit I'm Spirit Reader later, which will only cause a bit more trouble."
The real fear is that the forces behind this mixed-race youth might cause trouble.
"If I don't resist, I'll die. Judging from their attitude, they're not just joking about killing the entire squad."
If I resist... even if I manage to kill the others, the consequences will be dire if I kill Li Wei!
"But if we don't kill him, Li Wei's retaliation will have even more terrible consequences!"
Countless thoughts flashed through Luo Feng's mind in an instant.
The elderly man surnamed Liu, the burly white man, and Li Wei had already split up and were closing in.
"Old Liu, kill them!" At Li Wei's command, the old man surnamed Liu instantly sped up.
"Brothers, kill them! Kill these bastards!" Gao Feng roared.
At this point, he no longer cared about the consequences. If he didn't defeat these three, his Fire Hammer Squad would be completely wiped out today.
Gao Feng confronted the old man surnamed Liu himself, which suggests that the old man surnamed Liu was probably the strongest among the three.
The burly white man was fighting three opponents single-handedly against Zhang Ke, Wei Qing, Wei Tie. Chen Gu quickly hid to the side, waiting for an opportunity to strike. His close combat skills were weak, and his physical attributes were far inferior to his opponents. Once he was caught in close combat, he would have no chance.
"Hehe, you little guy, you just joined this group? You're unlucky to have followed such a bunch of damn bastards."
Being a martial artist isn't easy. A bunch of pathetic wretches dare to oppose this young master? Die!
Li Wei's face was full of an evil smile. In his eyes, not all martial artists were the same.
His parents were both High-level War God, and everyone around him was also at the War God Level. Even his two bodyguards were High-Level Warlord. Whether it was the cultivation manuals or the cultivation methods, they were all top-level. He was born to be high above others!
As for Luo Feng, a martial artist from a poor background, he might never have the chance to meet the Wargod in his lifetime!
Luo Feng was filled with murderous intent; his eyes were fixed solely on his enemies!
The two quickly clashed. Li Wei discovered that he, already Intermediate Warlord, was being suppressed by Luo Feng, who seemed to have just joined the martial arts team. His anger intensified!
Although Luo Feng's physical abilities were only at the Beginner Warlord, his reckless fighting style completely suppressed Li Wei. Trading injuries for injuries was nothing to Luo Feng, but Li Wei valued his life much more than him.
Gao Feng fought against the old man surnamed Liu. The strength-based Gao Feng suffered new wounds as he faced the speed-based old man surnamed Liu. The old man surnamed Liu was like a cunning old fox, constantly suppressing Gao Feng with speed. Gao Feng could only rely on his strong defense to barely hold on.
But soon, the battle took a turn. Zhang Ke couldn't dodge in time and had his left arm severed by the burly white man. After losing an arm, he, who used a spear, lost almost 70% of his fighting ability.
" Zhang Ke!"
Wei Qing Wei Tie joined forces to desperately block the white strongman's knife, but the difference in strength between High-Level Warlord and Advanced Warrior could not be bridged by two people alone.
The burly white man, fighting two against one, managed to keep pressing their bodies down!
Zhang Ke, pale as a ghost, seized the opportunity that Wei Qing and Wei Tie had bought for him to escape.
However, he no longer had the strength to fight.
They couldn't even defeat three against one, let alone just the twin brothers!
The sheer difference in absolute strength rendered their numerical advantage meaningless.
"Hahaha, Huaxia artists are nothing special! Die!"
The burly white man slashed wildly with his blade, and Wei Qing Wei Tie's hands were covered in blood from the impact, but they still held on desperately.
They knew that once the two of them were defeated, freeing up the white strongman, the fate of the Fire Hammer Squad would be sealed.
Chen Gu fired several shots from the side, but the burly white man dodged them all.
In terms of reaction speed, High-Level Warlord are already capable of dodging sniper rifle shots.
"Brother Zhang!" Luo Feng's eyes turned bloodshot when he saw that Zhang Ke had lost an arm.
Among the team, Chen Gu and Zhang Ke were his closest friends. They both lived in Mingyue Residential Area, and Luo Feng learned a lot about martial arts from them. The two could be considered his guides on the path of Luo Feng.
Wei Qing and Wei Tie were so overwhelmed by the powerful strength of the white man that they vomited blood and were on the verge of collapse. Chen Gu, knowing that his shooting was no threat to the white man, also took out a knife and joined Wei Qing and Wei Tie in resisting the white man.
Behind them lay Zhang Ke, who had fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss.
However, the three Advanced Warrior were no match for the High-Level Warlord. The burly white man struck again, causing all three to cough up blood, but they still held fast to Zhang Ke behind them.
Meanwhile, Gao Feng, also covered in blood, was entangled by the old man surnamed Liu and had no strength left to save the three of them.
"Hahaha, kill them all!" Li Wei laughed as he saw that the white, muscular man had gained a clear advantage.
