The information rapidly came together in Luo Feng's mind.
In the end, it was deeply etched into his memory.
Along with it came a name so casual it was almost perfunctory: Three Blade Techniques.
"Here, take it and practice."
Lin Mo's voice carried a hint of casualness, as though he had just finished.
"I just made it up on the spot. Make do with it."
"It's still trash, but it should be dozens of times better than that Nine-Layered Thunder Blade of yours."
For a moment, Luo Feng didn't know what expression to make.
He could only quickly compose himself, sink his entire consciousness into his mind, and begin studying it.
As he gradually came to understand the secret technique,
Luo Feng felt his scalp tingle and his mind tremble!
Difficult! It was far too difficult!
The profundity of the Three Blade Techniques was completely beyond his imagination!
If the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade was like a detailed instruction manual,
teaching you step by step how to exert and layer your force,
then the Three Blade Techniques was like walking straight into an exam without studying!
You had to comprehend and break it down yourself,
to understand the infinite mysteries it contained.
How could its difficulty merely be said to far surpass that of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade?
They were as different as heaven and mud!
But correspondingly, once mastered, its power and potential
would also undoubtedly far surpass those of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.
"Teacher, this secret technique is incredible!"
Luo Feng couldn't help exclaiming in his consciousness, his voice trembling slightly.
This was no flattery, but his most immediate impression.
"Incredible, my ass!"
Lin Mo cut him off without ceremony, his tone full of disdain.
"This thing is the worst, most embarrassing thing
"I've ever created in my life."
"If your foundation weren't so poor, why would I have written it in such detail?"
Once again, Luo Feng was speechless.
"However."
Lin Mo changed tack, his tone becoming a tiny bit more serious.
"For you as you are now, it'll barely suffice."
"Master the first technique, and no one below the Planetary Level will be your match."
"Master the second, and crossing a major realm to kill a high-stage Planetary Level enemy won't be much of a problem."
"As for the third, if you can comprehend it while you're still at the Apprentice Level,
"it won't be impossible for you to slash and wound a Star Level Fighter."
Lin Mo's tone was indifferent, but what he said made Luo Feng's heart race and his blood boil!
Master the first technique at the Apprentice Level, and he would be invincible below the Planetary Level!
Master the second, and he could cross a major realm to challenge someone at the Planetary Level.
Master the third, and he would have a chance of wounding someone at the Star Level while still at the Apprentice Level!
And this was supposed to be trash?
If this secret technique were sold on Earth,
it would be worth far more than the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade and World Annihilation!
After the shock came uncontrollable elation and a fiercely burning fighting spirit!
With a teacher like this and an inheritance like this,
what did he have to fear, no matter how difficult the road ahead?
"Thank you for bestowing this technique on me, Teacher!"
Luo Feng solemnly expressed his thanks in his heart, his tone full of gratitude and resolve.
"Your disciple will do his utmost to comprehend and practice it, and will never disappoint you, Teacher!"
Inside the training room, time slipped quietly by.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
During that week, Luo Feng practically went into seclusion.
Aside from the necessary time spent eating and sleeping, and the rare moments he spent talking with his family,
he devoted all his energy to comprehending the Three Blade Techniques.
Even with one-on-one guidance from Lin Mo, a former Invincible King,
Luo Feng had still only grasped the barest surface of the first technique.
At that moment, inside the training room,
"How could you ask a question like that? My head's going to explode!"
Lin Mo's complaint rang out.
Immediately afterward, Luo Feng said with a hint of apology,
"Teacher, I'm dull-witted and haven't lived up to your expectations."
"I'll work hard."
Hearing this, Lin Mo sighed helplessly.
"Never mind, never mind."
"Rather than continue wasting time here, you might as well go temper yourself in real combat."
At those words, Luo Feng's spirits immediately lifted!
Comprehending the secret technique was important, but as a Fighter, what he craved more in his bones was battle.
"Teacher, you mean I should go to the Wilderness Zone?"
Luo Feng's voice carried an anticipation he couldn't suppress.
"What else? Should I stay here and wait for you to ask all sorts of stupid questions?"
Lin Mo replied irritably.
"Yes, Teacher!"
Luo Feng answered excitedly.
He immediately ended his training, got up, and stretched his somewhat stiff body, his eyes gleaming.
Without hesitation, he picked up his Communication Watch.
He found that familiar number.
He called Gao Feng, captain of the Fire Hammer Squad.
Before long, the call connected.
"Hello?"
Gao Feng's steady voice came through, though it seemed to carry a trace of almost imperceptible fatigue.
"Captain, it's me, Luo Feng."
Luo Feng spoke.
There was a distinct pause on the other end of the communicator.
Then Gao Feng's voice suddenly rose, full of delighted surprise and disbelief:
"Luo Feng? It really is you, kid!"
"I heard from Zhang Ke that you'd recovered and gotten even stronger!"
"I was just wondering how to contact you and congratulate you."
Gao Feng's tone was full of genuine concern.
Hearing his captain's familiar voice and sincere concern, Luo Feng felt a warmth in his heart.
"Captain, I'm all right now. Not only have I recovered, but my strength really has improved somewhat."
"Sorry for making you and everyone else worry, Captain."
"As long as you're all right! By the way, you didn't suddenly contact me just to share the good news, did you?"
"What is it? Just say it! As long as it's within my power, I won't hesitate!"
Luo Feng didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly:
"Captain, my strength has recovered, and I want to go to the Wilderness Zone to temper myself."
"Does our Fire Hammer Squad have any plans lately?"
"The Wilderness Zone? You want to rejoin the squad?"
"Good! That's wonderful! Luo Feng, you're coming back at just the right time!"
Gao Feng's voice grew excited, and he spoke faster.
"To tell you the truth, after Zhang Ke was seriously injured and retired, and you left as well,
"our Fire Hammer Squad was down in the dumps for quite a while."
"Everyone's been bottling up their anger, and when it comes to those bastards from the Tiger Tooth Squad, we hate them so much our teeth itch!"
"But hatred alone is useless. Without enough strength, everything's for nothing!"
He paused, his voice carrying the determination to break the cauldrons and sink the boats.
"So, after the few of us talked it over briefly,
"we took out most of what we'd saved over the years and got injections of Class A genetic serum!"
Class A genetic serum! Luo Feng's heart stirred.
That was something that could greatly improve physical fitness, and it was extremely expensive.
"The results were pretty good."
Gao Feng's tone carried a hint of relief and high spirits.
"Chen Gu, the Wei Brothers, and I have all grown quite a bit stronger."
"Although we still can't compare with those top War General Level squads, we're much stronger than before!"
"We're planning to venture into the outskirts of City 003 and look for a chance to hone ourselves."
"We'll also see if we can make a big haul. We've already planned the route at the Supply Base."
"We're getting ready to set out in the next couple of days."
"We were just saying how nice it would be if you and Zhang Ke were here too."
Gao Feng's voice was full of emotion, which soon turned to immense joy.
"Who would've thought? You actually called just then, kid."
"Luo Feng, come back to the squad! There'll always be a place for you in the Fire Hammer Squad."
Feeling his captain's undisguised trust and enthusiasm, Luo Feng felt a surge of warmth in his chest.
"Yes, Captain!"
Luo Feng answered without hesitation, a heartfelt smile appearing on his face.
"I'll pack up and leave for the Supply Base to meet you right away!"
"Good! We'll be waiting for you! Be careful on the way!"
After ending the call, fighting spirit rose in Luo Feng's eyes.
