Three Months of Cultivation

“Let’s go, down to eat breakfast with Mom and Dad,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “Okay.” Luo Hua’s entire demeanor had completely transformed. Just moments ago, he felt life was hopeless, that death was preferable. But after witnessing the miraculous effects of the Water of Life and seeing the massive bank balance on Luo Feng’s phone, Luo Hua was brimming with vitality! Pushing the wheelchair, Luo Feng took his brother downstairs. Luo Hongguo, their father, and Gong Xinlan, their mother, sat silently on the sofa. The past day had been a devastating blow to them. Their youngest son had attempted suicide by jumping into a lake, and his emotions were still so low and unstable. “What should we do?” “What on earth should we do?” The couple was at a loss. Breakfast had long been prepared in the kitchen, but neither had the appetite to eat. Suddenly— “Dad! Mom!” Luo Feng, pushing the wheelchair, brought his brother downstairs, calling out with a smile, “Breakfast is ready, let’s eat together.” “Breakfast?” Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan both stood up. His brother, Luo Hua, also smiled, “Mom and Dad, I’m starving.” Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan stared at their youngest son, Luo Hua, as if he were a monster, then suddenly snapped back to reality. Luo Hongguo repeatedly exclaimed, “Good to be hungry, good to be hungry! Quick, serve breakfast!” “Qin Ma!” Gong Xinlan rushed into the kitchen, calling out. Father Luo Hongguo also ran into the kitchen, and the entire house instantly filled with life, all traces of the previous gloom vanished. Luo Feng watched this scene and smiled, “We’ve overcome this hurdle. Especially when my brother’s legs grow back, and he can stand again, the family will be even happier.” What was the purpose of him risking his life to steal the dragon egg? Wasn’t it to gather enough money to buy the Water of Life for his brother as soon as possible? Heaven helped him, too. While stealing the dragon egg, he also acquired a set of War God equipment, which almost instantly completed the 30 billion fund. Jiangnan Base City, main urban area. In the Jiangnan Landscape Residential District, within a luxurious mountaintop villa on Huayao Peak, the High-level War God known as ‘Scorpion’ Wenina Polenas sat on a sofa, her face cold. Beside her, the ‘Vulture’ Li Yao stood expressionless, like a drawn blade. “Any results?” Li Yao asked coldly. In the living room, the middle-aged butler in a black suit respectfully reported, “Sir, Madam. Among the 506 investigation targets, after several days of inquiry, we’ve narrowed it down to 12 individuals with higher probability. However, even with one-on-one surveillance during this period, we still lack sufficient evidence to pinpoint anyone.” “Meaning, you still can’t name a single suspect?” Li Yao’s eyes blazed with a sudden surge of killing intent. Whoosh! The black-suited butler felt as if he was being stared down by a massive beast. He held his breath and respectfully replied, “Among the 506 people, in terms of motive, some were oppressed by the HR Alliance, perhaps seeking revenge against the HR Alliance, and thus targeted the young master. Others had grudges with the young master’s bodyguard, Kalong, or with the Tiger Fang Squad of the young master’s bodyguard, Pan Ya… In terms of motive, we found 26 individuals with some reason. But these motives are all minor; no one in their right mind would kill the young master over them.” “Useless!” “Someone with a grudge against A Wei’s bodyguard would kill A Wei? And that Tiger Fang Squad, what kind of pathetic squad is that? What level of enemy could they possibly provoke!” Li Yao roared, “Remember, the one who killed A Wei was a master capable of instantly killing two High-level Warlords and two Mid-level Warlords, leaving them no time to send a message back!” “Yes, sir,” the butler respectfully affirmed. “Remember, this killer is very strong, merely hiding their true achievements! Someone capable of instantly eliminating two High-level Warlords must be incredibly powerful, and their age should be above 25.” Li Yao instructed, “Among the targets we’re investigating, excluding the deceased, many of the 506 living individuals are very young, very weak, some have even just passed the Warrior Combat Assessment. Do those youngsters have the ability to instantly kill two High-level Warlords?” “Sir is right,” the butler respectfully agreed. Li Yao commanded coldly, “Investigate their past deeds thoroughly. Who is more likely to be a hidden expert? Once you find a possibility, investigate them!” “Understood!” The butler dared not say more. “Hmm! Anyone who shows even a hint of being a War God-level expert, or a Psychic, I want you to intensify the investigation!” Li Yao said coldly. “Of course, the key suspects must be investigated, but even those with low probability, keep an eye on them. Record everything about them, from their bank accounts, Wilderness Zone achievements, their relatives and friends, every aspect must be documented.” “Yes, sir,” the butler respectfully replied. “You’ve been with me for so many years. I don’t want you to slack off in the slightest on this matter, understand?” Li Yao’s voice was low, laced with murderous intent. Beads of sweat appeared on the butler’s forehead. “Understood.” He knew how formidable his master was; even ‘Scorpion’ Wenina Polenas, a High-level War God from the Polenas family, usually deferred to Li Yao. “Go!” Li Yao waved his hand. The butler quickly departed. After the butler left, only Li Yao and Wenina Polenas remained in the grand hall. “Yao, if the killer deliberately and preparedly killed our son, they probably wouldn’t have carried a communication watch,” Wenina’s accented Mandarin echoed. “This means that among those 506 targets, probably not a single one is the killer.” “I know that’s a possibility,” Li Yao said coldly, “However, we absolutely cannot let any opportunity slip. If it weren’t for the sheer number of people… I’d rather kill a thousand innocents than let one culprit escape!” Li Yao’s eyes gleamed with cold light. This investigation involved over five hundred people, and behind them were the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, Thunder Dojo, government, and military. Furthermore, these individuals were all around the Base City, some occasionally entering it. That’s why he hadn’t dared to kill them all at once. If it were only a few dozen people, he would have acted without hesitation. “Yao, who do you think did it?” Wenina frowned. “Globally, I, Li Yao, have no less than 10 High-level War God enemies. To get you the position of HR Alliance Huaxia Region CEO, we both offended quite a few people. Fortunately, I successfully emerged from the Ancient Civilization Ruins back then. Only then did those scheming rivals dare not make a move!” Li Yao said coldly, “Don’t let me find out who plotted against me and caused A Wei’s death, otherwise…” In the eyes of Wenina and Li Yao, these two powerful individuals, the most likely culprits were one of their past War God enemies. However, Li Yao and Wenina would not give up investigating the 506 suspects. Yangzhou City, Mingyue Residential District. Luo Feng, on the other hand, was quite relaxed. He spent some time chatting with other Warriors at the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, but most of his time was dedicated to cultivating the Ninefold Thunderblade. “Hello, Captain.” At the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, in the neural reaction testing room, Luo Feng picked up his phone to answer a call. “Oh, you’re planning to go to the Wilderness Zone after the New Year, on March 1st? That’s fine, no problem for me. I also want to stay home for a while, have a peaceful two months, and refine my blade techniques. Yes, okay, I’ll go to the Wilderness Zone after the New Year.” “You all know about my brother’s situation? That news spread fast.” “There’s nothing I could do when something like that happened, but thankfully, my brother has adjusted now.” “Hmm, I’m training my movement technique. Alright, talk later.” Luo Feng hung up the phone, placed it in the corner, and then walked towards the neural reaction tester. Though called a tester, Luo Feng completely used it as a training machine. “Mid-level Warlord test, 10 minutes.” Luo Feng adjusted the test duration on the neural reaction tester; this was the maximum continuous time. Indeed, under a barrage of rubber bullets, it was excellent for training one’s dodging ability, and Luo Feng usually loved training here. Sweating profusely, Luo Feng put his phone and other small items into his pocket. “During my month-plus in the Wilderness Zone this time, for most of the days, I absorbed Gene Original Energy daily to strengthen my body. Now, I’m not far from the ‘Beginner Tier Warlord’ physical fitness standard.” “I’ll push myself and see how much I can improve in these next two months.” Days passed. On New Year’s Eve, Luo Feng and his family happily watched the Spring Festival Gala together. During the few days of the Spring Festival, Luo Feng and his family also gathered with some friends. As for relatives? Luo Feng truly had none, as both his father and mother were orphans from the Grand Nirvana Period. The Grand Nirvana Period caused many families to be torn apart, leaving many orphans. On the morning of February 26th. Luo Feng, dressed in a white training suit, smiled as he walked towards the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo. “Madman, going to the Dojo so early?” a big bearded strongman chuckled. “I’m going to the Wilderness Zone in a couple of days, so I need to cram at the last minute and train hard,” Luo Feng said with a smile. The big bearded strongman glared, “Damn it, Madman, stop saying infuriating things. ‘Cramming at the last minute,’ I was there for your Prospective Warrior Assessment, and in the blink of an eye, you’re stronger than me.” Luo Feng chuckled, “The younger generation always surpasses the older; each generation is naturally stronger than the last.” “Go on, go on, stop being so annoying,” the big bearded strongman laughed and cursed. Luo Feng entered the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo and went up to the sixth floor. In the early morning, the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo was rarely crowded, and today was as empty as usual. Luo Feng wouldn’t have come so early if he weren’t there to test his recent progress. “Last time, on December 1st, my test results were: speed 78.6 meters per second, punch force 6121kg, reaching nearly 13000kg with burst. Neural reaction test, Beginner Tier Warlord, excellent!” Luo Feng stretched slightly. “It’s February 26th now, almost three months later. I wonder what level my physical fitness has reached!”
