Chapter 155
Wargod Luo Feng
In a rock cavern two to three kilometers deep, Luo Feng, who had been lying flat, finally opened his eyes. "This transformation, from start to finish, only took half an hour." Luo Feng glanced down at the time on his communication watch, a faint smile appearing on his dirt-streaked face. Half an hour ago, he was already an Elite Tier expert within the Wargod circle, but even then, figures like the 'Illusory Demon' Katelan were stronger than him. But now! "Boom!" Luo Feng casually threw a punch, and the air exploded. "A casual punch from me now matches my previous full-power strike. My physical conditioning is at least that of a Mid-level Wargod, possibly even a High-level Wargod!" Luo Feng could only rely on a vague sensation to confirm he was at least a Mid-level Wargod; whether he was a High-level Wargod would require instrument testing. His physical conditioning wasn't something he could be entirely sure of... But his mental force, that he was 100% certain of. "Peak Wargod!" "A Peak Wargod mental-force user." Luo Feng had no doubt about this. The surging river of stars in his sea of consciousness, the intensity of the mental force he controlled, was far, far stronger than before. He knew that previously he had barely reached the baseline of a 'High-level Wargod,' and now, with such a massive improvement, he was undoubtedly a Peak Wargod! Powerful! An incredibly powerful feeling! "It's a widely accepted fact that a Peak Wargod mental-force user is an invincible existence among Wargods." Luo Feng smiled. "Alright, first I'll clean up, then I'll go see Li Yao, Katelan, and the others... and while I'm at it, settle the long-standing grudge with Li Yao." Whoosh! Luo Feng shot directly along the passage, rushing to a protruding rock beside an underground river. With his mental force, he controlled a massive water sphere to float before him, quickly cleaning his entire body, including his combat suit! "Time to go!" In just three minutes, Luo Feng shot upwards. Rumbling~~~ He broke through layers of rock, rapidly ascending towards the surface. ... On Mist Island, it was still night, and the fog hung thick. "Thump!" After bursting out of the surface soil. "There's fighting over there." Luo Feng smiled as he walked step by step in the direction of the nine willow trees. "I didn't expect them to still not have cut down all the willow trees after half an hour." The spot where he emerged from the ground was nearly a thousand meters away from the nine willow trees. However... On the incredibly quiet Mist Island, the air-bursting sounds generated by Katelan, Li Yao, and the others frantically attacking the plant-type spirits resembling willow trees made it easy for Luo Feng to locate them. "Oh!" Luo Feng looked closely. At this moment, eight of the nine plant-type spirits resembling willow trees had already fallen, their trunks shattered, and their 'Millennium Willow Hearts' extracted. Only the last one, the Willow King, remained! The Willow King, with a trunk diameter exceeding three meters, had six javelins piercing its main trunk, all stuck deep within. The Willow King, astonishingly, had hundreds of light-golden willow branches heavily coiled around the six javelins. "Katelan's six javelins are stuck in the Willow King's trunk." Luo Feng watched from a distance. After this transformation, his eyesight had significantly improved, nearly doubling its previous clarity. "The javelins are stuck in the trunk and coiled by those light-golden willow branches, making them very difficult to pull out." Meanwhile, the three Black God Suit wearers—Katelan, Ivan, and Li Yao—were attacking frantically. "The Willow King's main trunk is damaged, its power greatly reduced, hurry!" Katelan, blood staining the corner of his mouth, roared. He wielded two daggers frantically. The light-golden willow branches were much slower than before, and Katelan severed a large number of them, but... there were simply too many. "Break!" Li Yao growled. "Argh, argh, argh!" Ivan roared wildly, attacking the Willow King like a whirlwind, severing a large number of light-golden willow branches! With its main trunk damaged, the willow branches' speed and binding force were clearly weakened by sixty to seventy percent. Only their toughness remained! With such a significant weakening, what Katelan, Li Yao, and Ivan needed now was enough time to sever all the light-golden willow branches! Although these branches were long, once cut, they would bleed liquid and their power would drastically diminish, becoming even weaker than ordinary willow branches. "Quick, seize the moment." Katelan's eyes gleamed as he urgently shouted, "After we cut down this Willow King, we still need to go claim other plant-type spirits." "Understood." "Got it." Li Yao and Ivan were both frantically severing the light-golden willow branches, while Kaita patrolled and kept watch around them... However, under the natural conditions of the night fog, with Luo Feng intentionally hiding in the grass over two hundred meters away, Kaita would indeed find it very difficult to spot him. "Haha, they're broken, all broken." "Haha." A burst of laughter erupted. No matter how many light-golden willow branches there were, they couldn't withstand the frantic chopping of three High-level Wargods. Finally, all the light-golden willow branches were severed, liquid oozing from their cut surfaces. The power of the damaged light-golden willow branches drastically plummeted again, posing no threat to High-level Wargods. "Attack the trunk." "Chop!" Katelan, Li Yao, and Ivan charged forward frantically. "Kaita, come here," Katelan called out repeatedly. "Coming!" The savage giant Kaita also excitedly rushed over to help. The massive Willow King, with a trunk diameter exceeding three meters, was utterly defenseless and immobile, allowing the four humans to chop at it! After Katelan pulled out the six javelins, he began frantically hacking and destroying along the holes the javelins had made; attacking from the inside was clearly easier. And with each successive chop, the Willow King's trunk's toughness actually decreased. "Hiss, hiss~~" The once lush and abundant willow branches rapidly began to wither, and the entire trunk of the Willow King quickly lost its vitality. This loss of vitality was clearly visible to the naked eye... As its life force diminished, the trunk's defensive capabilities significantly weakened. Boom! The entire Willow King slowly toppled, the towering giant Willow King breaking some nearby trees and plants, finally crashing with a thunderous sound... onto the ground of Mist Island. "Haha, finally succeeded." "Quick, find the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart." Katelan and the others were ecstatic. Cutting down this Willow King had taken ten times more effort than destroying all the other eight plant-type spirits combined! Luo Feng had been watching from a distance for over ten minutes. "Tsk, tsk..." "Good thing my transformation only took thirty minutes; I got to see them chop down the Willow King." Luo Feng smiled. "Since the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo's people haven't arrived yet, even better!" Luo Feng, having undergone a transformation deep underground, had his strength greatly increased and was now eager for action. The rumbling sounds continued! That group of people was hacking at the Willow King's trunk. "Quick, hurry and search." Katelan and the others were eager to find the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart within the trunk. "Hmm?" Katelan's spreading mental force sensed someone approaching, and he was startled, immediately turning his head. He saw Luo Feng, clad in a combat suit and carrying a shield on his back, simply holding a Blood Shadow Battle Blade, slowly emerging from the night fog a hundred meters away, walking towards them. Kaita, Ivan, and Li Yao also noticed him. "Luo Feng!!!" Li Yao's eyes instantly blazed with a fierce light. "Long time no see." Luo Feng smiled as he looked at Li Yao. Katelan looked at Luo Feng, a cold sneer on his face, and spoke in awkward Huaxia: "Luo Feng? If you had hidden underground with your mental-force user abilities, I wouldn't have been able to catch you. But you actually came to the surface, how foolish." The giant bear Kaita and Blood Shadow Ivan beside him also sneered. None of Katelan's trio was weaker than Li Yao! Would this quartet—the three of them plus Li Yao—fear Luo Feng? "Did you perhaps use a Millennium Willow Heart and instantly become a Peak High-level Wargod mental-force user?" Katelan scoffed. As a mental-force user himself, he naturally knew that mental-force users were extremely rare, and most mental-force users' talents allowed them to rapidly advance to the High-level Warlord tier. Reaching the Beginner Tier Wargod level was already considered good. Mid-level Wargod mental-force users were incredibly rare. As for instantly advancing to the High-level Wargod tier, they were few and far between. Instantly and rapidly advancing to become a Peak High-level Wargod mental-force user? Across the entire Earth, were there one or two? No one knew. "Thank you for helping me cut down the Willow King." Luo Feng smiled faintly. "You've saved me a lot of trouble." Boom! He instantly transformed into an afterimage, charging towards the Willow King. "Kill!" Katelan roared coldly. "Luo Feng!!!" Li Yao roared even louder, charging first with his twin blades, his eyes burning with what seemed like flames. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Six throwing knives! Like six streaks of black lightning, at close range, they were so fast that even Li Yao himself couldn't dodge them. But why would Li Yao dodge? His entire body was covered in black, with only slight gaps for his eyes and nostrils. With his abilities, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to hit those tiny openings. The Black God Suit! To pierce the Black God Suit, even a King-level monster would find it difficult! The only way to kill a Wargod wearing a Black God Suit was through pure impact force. 'I can't pierce your Black God Suit, but the sheer terrifying impact force alone can shatter your internal organs.' Rumble~~~ All six throwing knives struck Li Yao! Now, having reached Peak High-level Wargod, Luo Feng possessed incredible and terrifying strength. After using Dragon Blood back then, during a punch force test, one of his throwing knives had an impact force of about 220,000 kilograms. But now—one of his throwing knives had an impact force exceeding 500,000 kilograms! The impact force of a single throwing knife exceeded 500,000 kilograms! Six throwing knives! Combined, that was an impact force exceeding 3,000,000 kilograms! While a mental-force user's advantage lay in their elusive and unpredictable nature, after reaching Peak High-level Wargod, even their pure impact force had reached an unbelievable level! This was almost the strength of a Peak Wargod warrior with a brute force of 500,000 kilograms and a six-fold power burst. Boom! Li Yao was directly blasted off his feet, sent flying backward at an astonishing speed, simultaneously knocking Blood Shadow Ivan behind him flying. He tumbled several times in mid-air before crashing hundreds of meters away. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Six throwing knives, swift as lightning and heavy as Mount Tai, then blasted the terrified Illusory Demon Katelan directly backward. "Hmph!" Luo Feng landed directly beside the Willow King's trunk. His six throwing knives furiously bombarded the trunk. The trunk, having lost its vitality, had much weaker defenses and quickly shattered. A green object, threaded with golden丝, shot upwards. Luo Feng's mental force immediately coiled around it, pulling it back to him.
