In Zhang Junbao's home in Mingyue Residential Area, Jiangnan Base City.
Zhang Junbao returned from outside, carrying two heavily secured boxes containing the two portions of the Water of Life had just been delivered.
Inside the underground cultivation room, Zhang Junbao and his family had gathered.
Seeing Zhang Junbao return, Zhang Anzhong, sitting in his wheelchair, was overjoyed. Although he had only been disabled for a few months, the loss of his leg, which had once brought him health, had also caused him indelible pain.
At this moment, Zhang Anzhong held his wife's hand tightly, his heart filled with joy. In Warrior Residential Area like Mingyue Residential Area, the probability of disability is actually not low. This is because there are also many retired martial artists who have been crippled due to fighting against demonic beasts.
These people all share a dream: to have their limbs regenerated and return to a healthy life. Only after losing something do they realize how precious their body was.
" Junbao, is this the ' Water of Life '?" Zhang Anzhong knew that Zhang Junbao had gone to get the Water of Life, but he still couldn't help but ask when he saw the box in Zhang Junbao's hand.
During this time, he also communicated with other martial artists in the community and was very clear that even for martial artists, the Water of Life was extremely precious. In fact, many low-level martial artists had never even heard of the Water of Life.
The Water of Life, with an auction price exceeding 30 billion Huaxia Currency, is something that martial artists who can only earn one or two hundred million a year would find difficult to obtain even if they devoted their entire lives to it.
Moreover, a martial artist's career is not long. From becoming a martial artist to eventually retiring, a ten-year martial arts career is already quite rare.
Fighting demonic beasts is no child's play; it's a life-or-death battle where lives are at stake, and the injury rate among human martial artists has never been low.
Now, in just a few months, Zhang Junbao has brought back the legendary Water of Life that can regenerate severed limbs. Zhang Anzhong could imagine the dangers and hardships involved.
"Yes, this is the Water of Life."
"Dad, I've always felt guilty because of my mistake that caused you to lose a leg. From today onwards, you can recover completely. Then you can take Mom with you and go wherever you want!" Zhang Junbao said happily.
"Good, good, good!" Zhang Anzhong was extremely excited, and all his words were condensed into a few resounding affirmations.
Half a day later, the family witnessed Zhang Anzhong's lost leg recover from nothing to something, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Recently, legends about Zhang Junbao have begun to circulate in Mingyue Residential Area...
The first thing was that Zhang Junbao's father, Zhang Anzhong, suddenly started running around the neighborhood. This shocked the families of martial arts practitioners who knew about his condition.
The second thing is that Zhang Ke, a martial artist in the community who had recently become disabled and announced his retirement, has also grown a new arm in just half a month and has started practicing shooting in the community again.
Both of them were able to have their limbs regenerated thanks to Zhang Junbao, who provided them with extremely precious medicinal herbs.
In Mingyue Residential Area, by the lake in the park, Luo Hua sat in a wheelchair and greeted Zhang Anzhong as he ran past her, feeling envious.
Behind him, a young girl was pushing him. Noticing Luo Hua's envious gaze, she gently hugged him from behind, her eyes filled with love.
" Xiao Nan, you don't need to comfort me, I'm used to it."
"You know what? My brother told me that he'll be able to buy me a bottle of the Water of Life in about two weeks." Luo Hua said excitedly, holding Xiao Nan's hand.
"Really? Brother Luo Feng can also buy the Water of Life? Isn't it rumored that one dose costs over 30 billion Huaxia Currency, and even if you have the money, you can't buy it?" Zhen Nan looked at Luo Hua incredulously.
"That's right, my brother said it himself. My brother and Brother Zhang Junbao are classmates. He's currently in the Elite Training Camp, which is the world's highest Training Camp where you can become Wargod as soon as you graduate. Moreover, Brother Zhang Junbao has connections. My brother said that in another half month he will be able to earn enough money to buy the Water of Life."
Then I can openly hold your hand and walk up to your parents.
After witnessing Zhang Junbao obtain the Water of Life, Luo Feng went berserk, frantically cultivating in the Elite Training Camp.
Moreover, his method of making money was even more direct: he would challenge other students to duels, betting only money. No one could stop Luo Feng's madness. According to Babata, this was the most direct and effective method, allowing him to make money and improve his strength at the same time, killing Luo Feng with one stone.
Once a person has a firm goal in mind, the power they can unleash is absolutely astonishing.
From then on, Zhang Junbao left the Elite Training Camp, and Luo Feng arrived, leaving a group of top geniuses in dire straits. Like a flock of sheep whose wool had been plucked again and again, in such a harsh environment, many trainees began to follow Luo Feng's example, transforming into vicious wolves and constantly seeking out challenges.
Since Zhang Junbao took over the Elite Training Camp, he handed it over to Babata for management. From then on, all the resources of the Elite Training Camp could be seized, and all distribution systems were abolished. Babata also let these trainees know what a real demon was.
Want to honestly retreat into seclusion and cultivate? Forget about it!
The Elite Training Camp is not a place for you to retire. Here, only crazy training will get you caught by others and forced into a gambling war until they have won all their resources.
The atmosphere of the Elite Training Camp changed from then on; it became fiercely competitive, and the trainees treated everyone like an enemy.
Having finished dealing with his father's affairs, Zhang Junbao finally devoted himself entirely to seclusion and cultivation, aiming to break through to the Planetary Level.
Influenced by Zhang Junbao, his father also began to study ancient Huaxia culture. Coupled with his mother, who was originally from a well-to-do family, and his sister, who was engaged in scientific research, the family was filled with a strong scholarly atmosphere.
Because of the existence of Babata, Zhang Junbao's cultivation is no longer about directly absorbing Cosmic Energy, but rather about using the energy of the Wood Bud Crystal to cultivate.
As a treasure from the universe, the Wood Bud Crystal's effects far surpass those of Dragon Blood and the Spirit of Plants and Trees. In just a few days, Zhang Junbao's physical attributes had already reached the peak of the Wargod.
After Zhang Junbao soaked the previously harvested Spirit of Plants and Trees in alcohol, he encouraged his family to drink it whenever they had time. He also had Babata divide a Wood Bud Crystal into three pieces, modify and conceal them, and then make them into pendants for his family to wear.
In this way, even if family members don't practice, their physical fitness can improve rapidly.
He gave one of all the Wood Bud Crystal to his family, and ten each to Hong, Thunder God, and Luo Feng. For Zhang Junbao, these were considered an initial investment. Losing these thirty-odd Wood Bud Crystal wouldn't have a significant impact on him, but it would greatly accelerate the cultivation speed of Luo Feng and the other two.
These three are all going to travel to the universe with him in the future, so they can't be too weak.
Two weeks later, outside Mingyue Residential Area, Luo Feng returned carrying a sealed box, his eyes filled with excitement.
He did it in just one month!
After pushing himself to his limits almost frantically, Luo Feng finally succeeded in defeating everyone in the Elite Training Camp within a month, and his physical abilities even reached the War God Level.
Of course, Zhang Junbao's gift of the Wood Bud Crystal played a part in this, but it's undeniable that Luo Feng's madness for his family was something even Babata was afraid of.
After helping his younger brother Luo Hua recover from his broken leg, Luo Feng also visited Zhang Junbao's home to express his gratitude.
As soon as Luo Feng stepped into the cultivation room, he sensed an unusual aura. It seemed as if an invisible force was pressing down on him, greatly affecting even Luo Feng's Spiritual Force.
After Luo Feng's physical abilities reached the War God Level, his Spiritual Force was able to exert strength approaching that of High-level War God.
But at this moment, he was actually suppressed by the aura emanating from Zhang Junbao.
"What's going on with this force? I haven't even gotten close to Junbao, yet I'm already feeling such immense pressure?" Luo Feng wondered.
Before him, Zhang Junbao closed his eyes and cultivated, and the genes in his body were undergoing an unprecedented transformation. In Zhang Junbao's sea of consciousness, it was as if a dazzling Milky Way formed a vortex, and his Spiritual Force spun wildly like flowing water, forming a huge vortex.
The vortex continuously condenses, expands, and then contracts.
At the same time, every cell in Zhang Junbao's body was undergoing similar changes. If someone were to examine his cells, they would find that each of Zhang Junbao's cells first condensed and swirled like a galaxy, eventually compressing all energy into the cell nucleus.
Not only at the cellular level, but also at the genetic level, it is constantly optimizing and recombining itself, continuously radiating amazing power.
This was a transformation of life; Zhang Junbao's bones, bone marrow, meridians, muscles, and skin were undergoing a series of incredible changes. These changes were incomparable to anything he had experienced before, whether it was absorbing Dragon Blood or the Spirit of Plants and Trees.
Luo Feng saw that Zhang Junbao's body was floating in mid-air, but he did not find any trace of Spiritual Force, and it did not seem to be the " Black Dragon Ascending Heaven Steps ".
" Zhang Junbao has entered the Planetary Level, Luo Feng. Watch closely, this is the process of entering the Planetary Level." Babata's voice suddenly echoed in Luo Feng's mind. The intelligence in his hand was a smart Clone of Babata, and now that it was receiving information from the main body, it naturally understood Zhang Junbao's situation.
"This feeling is so wonderful."
After his Divine Power underwent a simultaneous transformation, Zhang Junbao felt an unprecedented shock. Both his body and mind seemed to have returned to an 'infant' state, having previously reached a point where they could no longer grow.
But even in its infant state, it is much stronger than before.
"With my current power, I can easily defeat more than three of my previous selves! My life seems to have entered another level. Is this what they call genetic leap? No wonder races in the universe pay so much attention to Gene Level; the differences are so vast."
Zhang Junbao slowly opened his eyes, saw Luo Feng leaning against the wall struggling to withstand the pressure, and smiled, saying, "Not bad, you really did reach the War God Level in a month. It seems I didn't misjudge you."
" Junbao, just how strong are you now? Why do I feel like my Spiritual Force is being suppressed?" Zhang Junbao released the pressure, Luo Feng was finally able to speak.
"Heh, you'll see later. Let me put it this way, if I wanted to kill Li Yao and his wife right now, they wouldn't even see me make a move."
Luo Feng assumed that because of Li Yao and his wife, Luo Feng hadn't publicly revealed his identity as Spirit Reader. Hong also knew about the conflict between Luo Feng and Li Yao, so naturally he wouldn't be foolish enough to go to the Elite Training Camp and expose that he was Spirit Reader.
Furthermore, after receiving Babata's instruction, Luo Feng also learned how to conceal his Spiritual Force. Even Planetary Level experts could not discover his true identity unless Luo Feng actively used his Spiritual Force.
Luo Feng hadn't forgotten that he still had a 100 billion yuan bounty on his head.
Because of this bounty, the Fire Hammer Squad has not dared to venture into the Wilderness Zone, fearing to leave any trace, and has been quietly cultivating.
Zhang Junbao wasn't afraid of Li Yao and his wife, but that didn't mean they weren't afraid of him either.
"Consider them as training targets I'm leaving for you. Only when you can stand up to Li Yao and his wife on your own will you truly be free from the burden of the 100 billion bounty," Zhang Junbao said.
He kept Li Yao and his wife alive for two reasons. First, he had no direct conflict with them, and he couldn't just go and kill them because of the Fire Hammer Squad. Second, it was to keep Luo Feng under enough pressure and with a clear goal. Otherwise, once Luo Hua's legs recovered, Luo Feng would lose his motivation to cultivate, so it was better to leave this matter to Luo Feng.
Li Yao and his wife are enemies of Luo Feng and the Fire Hammer Squad, not Zhang Junbao.
Helping others is fine, but it's crucial to consider how and to what extent. Zhang Junbao could clear all obstacles for Luo Feng, but in doing so, Luo Feng would be completely crippled.
Zhang Junbao still very much hoped to see the future, the future of Luo Feng, the Galaxy Lord would fight against all the major races alone.
Luo Feng didn't know, but Zhang Junbao was clear that there were too many secrets in this universe worth exploring.
Whether it's the various secret realms within the universe or the Three Great Forbidden Lands outside the universe, no one knows the reasons for their formation. And all three of these forbidden zones bear extremely obvious traces of human activity. What kind of immense power could have created such magnificent ruins?
Perhaps these things are still too far away for Zhang Junbao now, but one day he will definitely set foot in these places and find out for himself.
Zhang Junbao even began to wonder if his arrival in this world was merely a coincidence, or if it was orchestrated by someone.
