After spending two days with his family, Zhang Junbao recovered from the tension of the Wilderness Zone. The warmth of his family made Zhang Junbao realize that he wasn't surrounded by monsters ready to devour him, but by a group of family members who cared about his physical and mental well-being.
He went to the underground training room; it was time to deal with the demon beast materials hidden in the basement safe.
"I have now officially entered the ranks of martial artists. Although this experience in the Wilderness Zone was unexpected, the results were remarkable. No wonder people say that only by constantly experiencing life-and-death battles can one make the fastest progress."
My understanding of swordsmanship and the " Tai Chi Primordial Chaos Formula " is several times stronger than before. Where in my past life could I have found a group of demonic beasts with the strength of tens of thousands of kilograms to practice the True Meaning of Taiji with me?
Is living in such an era a blessing or a curse for martial artists?
Zhang Junbao felt his strength improving rapidly; his growth in this period of time surpassed the efforts of his previous life over several decades. This was the difference created by different environments.
I need to accomplish two major goals in the short term:
First, help my father recover from his broken leg.
This is currently my highest priority. Because of my negligence, my father had an accident and broke his leg. Although life is much better now than before, it still breaks my heart to occasionally see the loneliness hidden behind my father's smile.
Fortunately, my strength is improving rapidly. Even if I earn 30 billion to buy the Water of Life, it won't take long. Moreover, as long as I become Wargod soon and join the War God Palace...
Inside the War God Palace, there are only a little over 10 billion units of the Water of Life.
If all else fails, wait until you reach the Wargod level, then specifically hunt down Lord-level demonic beasts. Killing four or five should be enough. If you have the chance to go back and kill that Lord-level Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle, its value should be no less than that of an ordinary High Lord. I've heard that avian demonic beasts are generally quite valuable.
The path of spiritual practice aims at achieving a clear and unobstructed mind. However, the concern for my father's broken leg leaves a trace of distracting thoughts in my heart.
Second, enhance our strength.
Their current strength is nothing even among humans, let alone the Golden Horned Beast and cosmic invaders that will arrive in the future.
Planetary Level struggle to even survive in the universe, and are powerless against a newly hatched Golden Horned Beast. I don't want my family to have to gamble their lives when the Golden Horned Beast attacks.
Moreover, in today's Earth, strength is the only true measure of power. Whether it's money or resources, you must rely on strength to seize them. Focusing on making money now is meaningless; once you become the number one person on Earth, you won't have any money you want.
Moreover, money on Earth is useless once it enters the universe, so improving one's strength is the most crucial thing.
The combat suit, the Dragon Roar Sword, and the Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle egg can be sold. The combat suit doesn't fit well and will affect combat. The Dragon Roar Sword is made from raw materials of demonic beasts, and with current human technology, it's entirely possible to make something better.
As for the Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle's egg, that's the real highlight. Although it's the offspring of High-Level Beast General, its father should be the Lord-level Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle that appears later.
So this is the egg of Lord-level monster, and it's an avian one at that. It grows faster than beasts and can fly, so its price is probably comparable to that of a mid-level or even High Lord's egg.
Hehe, a flying-type demon beast. I haven't heard of any human organization possessing such a beast yet. If we could hold an auction, the price might be even higher.
I'll find out which auction house is good later.
None of my items are of dubious origin; I can sell them openly and honestly, unlike Luo Feng who has to do it secretly.
Zhuge Tao inquired about my strength earlier, so he must have some ideas. I should find him to test my current strength; if it meets the standards of the Elite Training Camp, that would be ideal.
Training with a martial arts squad is good, but it's just small-scale training. It's better to enter the Elite Training Camp sooner and compete with a group of geniuses.
Moreover, entering the Elite Training Camp also provides time to hunt monsters, and there are many War God Level instructors to exchange cultivation experiences with—it's practically a paradise for martial artists.
Zhang Junbao was planning for the future. He had decided to gradually reveal his strength so that he could acquire more resources. He didn't have any enemies now, so there was no need for him to hide anything.
" Junbao, are you busy? Luo Feng is here to see you." His mother's voice came from above the cultivation room.
"Coming," Zhang Junbao replied.
Zhang Junbao packed his things and went to the living room, only to find the sound of arguing coming from the doorway.
" Luo Feng, don't be so arrogant. I'm here to see Zhang Junbao. This isn't something you can decide. Get out of my way!" A tall, burly man grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, looking like a ferocious beast.
" Zhang Zehu, this is my brother's home. You're the one who should get out. Don't think your dirty tricks are unknown. You dare to harm a martial artist's family? Believe me, I'll report you to the Limits Dojo and have them hunt you down!"
Luo Feng was not intimidated at all. Even though Zhang Zehu seemed to be stronger than him on the surface, it was impossible for him to overwhelm him with just his aura.
Luo Feng's physical attributes are now considered top-tier among Intermediate Warrior, approaching the ' Advanced Warrior Level.
As for his Spiritual Force, considering the two-level difference between his physical attributes and Spiritual Force, he is at least at the ' Beginner Warlord '. If they really fought, Zhang Zehu might not be his match.
"You little brat, watch your mouth. Trying to frame me? No way! Do you have any evidence that I harmed a martial artist's family? You're just a kid, all you know is how to use the Limits Dojo School to intimidate people. When has the Thunder Dojo ever been afraid of anything!"
"You meddlesome brat! If you hadn't reported it to the security domain, my brother and nephew wouldn't have been kidnapped by security domain personnel who broke into our house."
Zhang Junbao finally understood the reason for the incident, but what about the family of the person who used violence?
Zhang Junbao recalled that his parents' health was not very good, and they seemed to have some minor injuries. Even if he had been missing for a while, it shouldn't have caused them such severe psychological stress.
He initially thought it was just an accidental bump, and his family didn't tell him the truth for fear of worrying him. Now it seems there's more to the story.
He suddenly remembered the methods Zhang Haobai had used before, using ordinary people to create trouble for their families, because the National Security Bureau usually wouldn't get involved in conflicts between ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Zhang Junbao's face turned completely dark.
He had initially thought that Zhang Zehu was a nobody and not worth wasting time on, but he hadn't expected that Zhang Zehu would be so happy to be causing trouble for Zhang Junbao wasn't around.
It seems that Luo Feng saw through their plan. Fortunately, Luo Feng helped his family fend off Zhang Zehu.
As for the lack of evidence?
There are no secrets in this world, and there's no shortage of evidence. If you're powerful enough, there are plenty of people willing to find evidence for you.
" Zhang Zehu, what are you doing at my house?" Zhang Junbao asked, his face grim, as he approached Luo Feng from behind.
"You must be Zhang Junbao. I won't waste my breath on you. Because of you, Luo Feng reported to the security domain and had my brother and nephew arrested."
"How do you think this matter should be resolved to your satisfaction?" Zhang Zehu forced a smile onto his fierce face.
In Zhang Junbao's view, that smile was as if his entire family had died.
"Your brother and your nephew? You mean Zhang Haobai and his father?" Zhang Junbao asked, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
"That's right, Zhang Haobai is my nephew, and his father is my elder brother. I am Zhang Zehu, the ' Mountain-Splitting Tiger ' of the Thunder Dojo!"
Zhang Zehu tilted his head back, glancing down at the two "kids" in front of him.
In his eyes, Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng were both newbies among newbies. They were just rookies who had just passed the Martial Artist Combat Assessment. They had at most seen a few Beast Soldier. How could they compare to him, a martial artist who had spent years in the Wilderness Zone?
The title " Mountain-Splitting Tiger " was earned through sheer hard work and battles! If it weren't for his elder brother and nephew, why would the dignified " Mountain-Splitting Tiger " personally come to find Zhang Junbao, a newcomer?
If Zhang Junbao, the aggrieved party, withdraws the charges, he can donate money to the Limits Dojo in the names of his elder brother and nephew, making them one-star citizens who can enjoy certain privileges and allowing them to be released sooner.
"So that's how it is. Zhang Haobai had someone break my dad's leg, and his dad then tried to assassinate me in the detention center, even though I hadn't passed the martial arts exam at that time."
"If it's the two of them, my demands aren't high. Each of them has to compensate me for my father's leg, plus 1 billion Huaxia Currency. I, Zhang Junbao, will give you face and let this matter drop." Zhang Junbao said expressionlessly.
The argument between Zhang Zehu and Luo Feng had already attracted the attention of other martial artists in the community, including Zhang Ke, Chen Gu, and even Wu Tong.
Zhang Zehu stared intently at Zhang Junbao, his eyes blazing with anger. He had come here today intending to scare Zhang Junbao, this brat who had been brought back from the Wilderness Zone, so arrogant and ignorant of his place.
Zhang Zehu " Mountain-Splitting Tiger," is a seasoned martial artist, currently a " Advanced Warrior Level," just one step away from War General Level.
He never imagined that Zhang Junbao would show him no respect whatsoever.
It's important to understand that if an ordinary person provokes a martial artist, the generally accepted compensation is between ten million and fifty million Huaxia Currency. Any higher, and it's easy to make enemies.
Zhang Junbao directly demanded one leg from each of them, plus 1 billion Huaxia Currency.
This is no longer a matter of saving face; it's about skinning their entire family alive!
Even for someone like Zhang Zehu, whether he even has a billion is questionable.
The martial artists from the Limits Dojo standing nearby, upon hearing Zhang Junbao explain the situation, all mocked Zhang Zehu, saying he deserved it.
