Chapter 135

Luo Feng's Strength

Inside Luo Feng's bathroom at Jiangnan Pavilion.

“Splash, splash~~”

Hot water cascaded over Luo Feng’s powerful physique, washing away all grime. “Gurgle, gurgle~~” The dirty water in the tub drained completely. Luo Feng then plugged the drain, lay back in the tub, and let the hot water spray over him. Though he lay there, his mood was exceptionally joyful. After a long while, Luo Feng climbed out of the tub, dried himself with a towel, and walked naked into the room.

He put on his combat boots and combat trousers, but for his upper body, he only wore a casual shirt.

Ten throwing knives were stored in his trouser pocket.

“Time to go to Ninefold Tower and test my current strength!” Luo Feng quickly headed downstairs, moving swiftly through the night towards Ninefold Tower. It was already past two in the morning!

...

Past two in the morning, only the ninth floor of Ninefold Tower still had some students. This was because the Elite Training Camp’s ‘Ancient Civilization Gravity Room’ and ‘Trial Room’ operated 24 hours a day, pausing only for one hour at noon. At other times, students were almost always using them, even in the dead of night!

However, the other Training Halls were completely empty.

On the fifth floor of Ninefold Tower, in one of the small Training Halls.

“Snap!”

The lights flickered on.

A yellow-skinned youth stood in the Training Hall, the door now closed from the inside. As for the windows… Ninefold Tower’s windows were designed so that outsiders couldn’t see in, but those inside could easily see out. Luo Feng was very satisfied with this.

For now, he didn’t want anyone to know he was a mental-force user.

“My mental-force is two tiers higher than my physical strength!”

“Let’s see what level my physical strength has reached.” Luo Feng walked towards a large punching power testing machine in the corner of the Training Hall. The punching power testing machines in Ninefold Tower were top-of-the-line, capable of easily testing the strength of even High-tier War Gods.

To withstand the heavy punches of High-tier War Gods, the cost of this punching power testing machine was unimaginable.

He flipped the switch, and the display screen of the punching power testing machine lit up.

“Two days ago, my punching power was 25,100 kg. Let’s see what it is now!” Luo Feng stood before the punching target. High-tier War Gods could deliver punches weighing hundreds of thousands of kilograms, even close to a million kilograms when fully unleashed, without damaging it. The material of this punching target was comparable to the scales of High-tier Lord-level monsters.

Luo Feng moved!

Without any special technique, he simply unleashed all his brute physical strength. Luo Feng’s right fist shot out like a cannonball, breaking the sound barrier as it slammed directly into the punching target.

Thump!

The punching target vibrated violently, emitting a deep, muffled sound.

Luo Feng immediately looked at the display screen, which now showed a number—“63602KG”.

“That much?”

“How can it be so high?” Luo Feng’s eyes widened, feeling as if he’d been hit by a massive stroke of luck. He had estimated his punching power would be at least 50,000 kg! If he was lucky, perhaps a little over 50,000, and with extreme luck, possibly close to 60,000!

But, 63,600?

That was almost 64,000! It was already the minimum threshold for a Beginner Tier War God!

“My physical strength can now barely be considered that of a Beginner Tier War God! So, does that mean… my mental-force can also barely be considered a High-tier mental-force user?” A surge of ecstasy washed over Luo Feng. He knew that the threshold for a Beginner Tier War God was 64,000 kg to 128,000 kg.

His ‘High-tier War God level’ mental-force user status meant he had just stepped over the threshold, not reached the ‘peak of High-tier War God’.

Only when his strength reached 128,000 kg would he truly be a ‘peak High-tier War God level mental-force user’.

But—

He was a mental-force user!

Even if he had just crossed the threshold of a High-tier War God, dealing with regular warriors, even peak High-tier War Gods, would likely not be a problem to kill! Most High-tier War Gods would be absolutely swept aside!

“Looking across the entire Earth, aside from beings beyond the War God level… among War Gods, even the most formidable High-tier War Gods would mostly be swept aside by me. Only a very few might be able to contend with me!” Luo Feng’s eyes blazed like lightning. His immense strength gave him absolute confidence!

Strength brings confidence!

Among War Gods, the only ones who could truly make Luo Feng bow his head would probably be peak High-tier mental-force users!

“Powerful!”

“This is true strength!” The excitement in Luo Feng’s heart surged like a tide. Compared to his mental-force, his close combat was far weaker. His physical strength was merely that of a ‘Beginner Tier War God’. Even with a combat power amplification exceeding 12, he could earn the title of a Mid-tier War God.

But compared to his mental-force, it was nothing!

“From 25,100 kg to around 63,600 kg.”

“My physical strength has more than doubled. It’s about 2.5 times what it was!” Luo Feng quickly calculated. “The effect of this Dragon Blood is indeed astonishing!”

This time, Luo Feng was mistaken. A single dose of Dragon Blood would likely only double his strength, barely pushing it further.

This transformation, in addition to the Dragon Blood, was actually due to his mental-force strengthening his body!

When Luo Feng first awakened, his physical strength increased significantly, but his mental-force only reached the ‘Beginner Tier Warlord level’. This time, Luo Feng’s mental-force directly leaped from ‘Beginner Tier War God’ to barely reaching the ‘High-tier War God’ baseline.

In terms of absolute quantity, the increase in mental-force was ten times that of his first awakening!

Such a sudden increase in mental-force naturally strengthened Luo Feng’s body, but because it was strengthened simultaneously with the Dragon Blood, the increase wasn’t as exaggerated. Still, it added nearly 10,000 kg to Luo Feng’s punching power! From just over 50,000, it directly became nearly 64,000 kg!

...

In the dead of night, in the empty Training Hall, Luo Feng retreated step by step, moving back a full twenty meters from the punching power testing machine.

“Let’s see how strong my mental-force truly is.” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. Instantly, two black throwing knives, faintly shimmering with silver-gray light, floated before him. These two throwing knives were the SS-grade ones he had recently acquired. With a thought, Luo Feng rotated the two throwing knives 180 degrees.

The handles pointed towards the punching power testing machine, and the blades pointed towards Luo Feng himself.

“Go!”

Under Luo Feng’s powerful mental-force control.

Whoosh!

One of the SS-grade throwing knives instantly transformed into a black streak of light, handle first, blade trailing… just like that, this black streak of light shot directly into the punching target of the punching power testing machine!

“Thump~~” The punching target vibrated violently, emitting a deep sound that made one’s heart almost stop.

The display screen immediately showed a number—“218606KG”!

Seeing this number, Luo Feng couldn’t help but shake his head in awe.

“Monstrous, monstrous! No wonder mental-force users are invincible.” Luo Feng exclaimed. In terms of physical quality… 128,000 kg to 256,000 kg was the physical strength of a Mid-tier War God. But it was important to remember that throwing knife attacks didn’t prioritize brute strength; they won by speed!

Throwing knives that won by speed could still contain immense power approaching that of a High-tier War God!

How could it be surprising for such a throwing knife to kill a High-tier War God?

“I can control ten throwing knives simultaneously, attacking from all directions—front, back, left, right—all at speeds exceeding ten times the speed of sound, and capable of instantaneous changes in direction. No matter how strong a High-tier War God’s physical power, how superb their blade techniques, or how subtle their movement skills, they would still be killed.” Luo Feng couldn’t help but sigh with emotion upon seeing this number.

It was a completely different tier!

At speeds exceeding ten times the speed of sound, High-tier War Gods would find it very difficult to defend. Moreover, a mental-force user could control several throwing knives to attack simultaneously. This was far more terrifying than the monsters in the Trial Tower; which monster could reach ten times the speed of sound?

This was the terror of a mental-force user!

In terms of mental-force power, he had only barely reached the minimum threshold of a High-tier War God, but in terms of flexibility and unpredictability in use, he held a far superior advantage, allowing Luo Feng to sweep aside almost all High-tier War Gods. Except for a very few anomalies, or other High-tier War God level ‘mental-force users’.

...

Although Luo Feng’s true strength at this moment could be considered the strongest in the Elite Training Camp! Luo Feng knew that… there were still stronger individuals in the world. Not to mention beings beyond the War God level. Among War Gods alone, he was not yet invincible! He was only close to invincible.

August 1st, early morning.

One hundred ninety-three students gathered on the grass in front of Ninefold Tower, chatting in groups of three or five. All students were fully armed, carrying backpacks and their respective weapons, because… today was the departure day for the ‘life-and-death adventure’! But before departing, everyone was waiting for one person—

The world’s strongest individual, Hong!

“Why isn’t Hong here yet?” Zhao Ruo, Luo Feng, and Shi Jiang sat on the grass, chatting. Zhao Ruo’s face was flushed. “I even dreamed of Hong last night, ah, ah.”

“Stop being so infatuated,” Luo Feng teased.

“What did you say?” Zhao Ruo glared.

Luo Feng jumped in fright and quickly looked at Shi Jiang, changing the subject: “Brother Shi Jiang, you’ve met the Grand Hall Master. What’s the Grand Hall Master really like?” Hearing this, Zhao Ruo also looked at Shi Jiang, as he was the only one among the three, being an older student, who had seen Hong.

“Grand Hall Master Hong… how should I put it?” Shi Jiang’s eyes held a trace of reverence, and also a strange glint. “A deity!”

“A deity?” Luo Feng was startled.

“Yes, a legendary deity. I can’t think of any other word to describe him,” Shi Jiang sighed. “I’ve also met other inspectors, beings beyond the War God level. But… compared to Grand Hall Master Hong, other beings beyond the War God level feel like comparing stars to the Sun.”

Luo Feng nodded inwardly.

Shi Jiang then smiled at Luo Feng and Zhao Ruo: “Junior Brother, Junior Sister, you should focus more on the upcoming life-and-death adventure. This time, our life-and-death adventure is to Australia! After the Grand Nirvana, the entire Australia became a monster’s paradise. It’s known as one of the world’s three most dangerous places, alongside the African Sahara and the South American Amazon!”

Before the Grand Nirvana, Australia already had a vast animal population, with a total human population of just over ten million across the entire continent.

When the Grand Nirvana arrived, the mutated monsters in Australia bred, and their numbers became the highest in the world. There were no humans left on the continent. The entire continent became a monster’s lair. It was listed alongside the African Sahara and the South American Amazon as the three most dangerous places.

Occasionally, some super organizations would send special squads to this continent for training.

And this time…

Luo Feng and his team were heading to Australia.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but look up at the sky. Many other students also looked up, because a sonic boom had already echoed in the sky, reverberating downwards. A blurry shadow had appeared above the Elite Training Camp, and as it solidified, it revealed a blood-red triangular fighter jet!

“The Hall Master is here!”

“Quick, everyone stand up.”

All the War God instructors, and the students sitting on the grass, instantly stood ramrod straight. Everyone knew…

The world’s strongest individual…

The world’s wealthiest individual…

The being with the most powerful authority in the world was about to appear!
