Chapter 158
Great Disturbance
"Hmm." The golden-masked man nodded slightly. Whoosh! He swiftly flew into the distance, hovering above Mist Island. Then, the mysterious golden-masked man surprisingly spread his arms and closed his eyes. An invisible, special power emanated from him, spreading in all directions, like a radar emitting various detection waves. Only about five or six seconds passed. Whoosh! Like a bolt of lightning, the mysterious golden-masked man directly flew into the interior of Mist Island. This scene secretly astonished Luo Feng and Councilor Fa'er, who were hovering in mid-air. Logically, searching for Plant Spirits in dense fog should be extremely difficult. If a Plant Spirit didn't actively attack, it would be unrecognizable even if right before their eyes! Therefore, for Beyond Wargod existences, their advantage in finding Plant Spirits wasn't significant. But why... was Inspector Liu He so confident, letting this mysterious golden-masked man act? "Councilor Fa'er, just stay here with me. It'll be easier for both of us." Inspector Liu He glanced at him. Councilor Fa'er merely sneered, continuing to hover in mid-air. Councilor Fa'er had no special method for finding Plant Spirits; it was better to keep Inspector Liu He occupied here. Suddenly— Four figures swiftly rushed downwards, and one figure shot up into the sky. Luo Feng looked closely and saw that the one flying up was Illusionary Demon Katelan. Black light extended from Katelan's feet, forming a pedal-like shape. Standing on these black pedals, Illusionary Demon Katelan directly hovered in mid-air. "Councilor Fa'er, Councilor Fa'er!" Katelan cried out, furious and unwilling. "We were just excavating an unknown Plant Spirit, but at the crucial moment, someone snatched it! The opponent was too fast and too strong, likely a Beyond Wargod existence. The four of us had no power to resist." Councilor Fa'er's expression changed upon hearing this. "And the Plant Spirit Li Yao discovered earlier," Katelan shouted again, "was already gone by the time we got there. Someone took it first." "Haha..." Inspector Liu He burst into laughter. Councilor Fa'er's face turned ashen. Luo Feng, however, was utterly shocked. Damn, that mysterious golden-masked man actually possessed such an ability, to easily locate Plant Spirits in the endless dense fog? Logically, if Plant Spirits didn't actively attack, it would be incredibly difficult to distinguish them. "Inspector Liu He, which of the Three Personal Guards is that? Ice Mountain?" Councilor Fa'er's face was grim. "I never imagined that one of the Grand Hall Master's Three Personal Guards would possess such a unique ability." "You're quite clever, it is indeed Ice Mountain." Inspector Liu He chuckled faintly. "But is it really worth such a fuss? After breaking through to Wargod and becoming a Beyond Wargod existence, everyone develops different abilities due to their unique cultivation. Your ability is merely fire, while Ice Mountain, one of the Three Personal Guards, possesses abilities you can't even imagine." Hong, the Grand Hall Master of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, commanded five Inspectors. However, in reality, besides the five Inspectors, only a few knew that Hong also had three Personal Guards. These three Personal Guards had been devoted followers of Hong from very early on! Their loyalty was absolute, and Hong had painstakingly taught and helped them... All three Personal Guards were Beyond Wargod existences! Everyone spoke of the five Inspectors as formidable... But many powerful individuals feared these Three Personal Guards even more! Besides Hong, no one knew their true identities, only their codenames: 'Beast,' 'Ice Mountain,' and 'Enchantress.' "Personal Guards?" Luo Feng was greatly astonished. "Not Inspectors?" "Young man." Inspector Liu He smiled, looking at Luo Feng. "The Grand Hall Master's capabilities are not as simple as you imagine. His Three Personal Guards are all Beyond Wargod existences. Moreover, each Personal Guard, under the Grand Hall Master's tutelage, possesses astonishing strength. Otherwise... why would the major powers and various organizations of this world fear the Grand Hall Master so much?" Luo Feng was speechless. One person, personally cultivating three Beyond Wargod existences. My heavens! "Boom~~" "Whoosh!" Below, in the pitch-black, fog-shrouded island, bursts of air explosions and sounds of something striking plants occasionally echoed. Clearly, these sounds were made by that Personal Guard. In mid-air. Suddenly, a spherical shield formed by gentle wind enveloped Luo Feng and Inspector Liu He. "Inspector?" Luo Feng looked at Inspector Liu He in surprise. "Just a small trick, I didn't want Fa'er to hear." Inspector Liu He chuckled. "First, let me introduce myself. My name is Liu He. The Grand Hall Master speaks very highly of you, calling you one of the world's top Mentalist geniuses. You consumed a Thousand-Year Willow Heart this time... what level has your mental strength reached?" Luo Feng hesitated slightly. "Peak High-Level Wargod Mentalist," Luo Feng stated. Inspector Liu He gasped, looking at Luo Feng in disbelief, and couldn't help but ask, "How old are you this year?" "Nineteen years old!" Luo Feng replied. "Nineteen years old, a Peak High-Level Wargod Mentalist?" Inspector Liu He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. "I always hear about legendary peerless geniuses, how incredible and formidable they are. During the Grand Nirvana period, both the Grand Hall Master and Councilor Lei Shen became Beyond Wargod existences in just a few years. I've also seen a few reach Peak High-Level Wargod in just two or three years." "But... a nineteen-year-old Peak High-Level Wargod Mentalist, this is my first time seeing one." Inspector Liu He's gaze towards Luo Feng softened considerably. Why is the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo so powerful? It's unity! They diligently cultivate geniuses to make the Dojo stronger, rather than suppressing younger talents out of fear of being surpassed. Luo Feng's journey... has been smooth precisely because he was continuously guided and supported by Instructor Jiang Nian, Chief Instructor Wu Tong, Special Envoy Yang Hui, Teacher Jiang Fang, and others! Innate talent is crucial, but the external environment is equally important. "Very good." Inspector Liu He smiled and nodded. "Your strength can already be called 'Invincible Wargod.' A Peak High-Level Wargod Mentalist, tsk tsk, that's indeed a tough opponent. Your flying speed seems very fast, and drilling underground makes you incredibly elusive, very hard to pursue." Luo Feng couldn't help but recall the previous scene. Councilor Fa'er hadn't been able to catch him in mid-air! "But don't get careless in the future. You might be invincible among Wargods, but against a Beyond Wargod existence... that's not necessarily true! Beyond Wargod existences all possess unique abilities." Inspector Liu He chuckled faintly. "Different people have different advantages. For example, my flying speed is much faster than Fa'er's." Luo Feng nodded. Indeed, that mysterious golden-masked man, 'Ice Mountain,' one of Hong's Three Personal Guards, could easily locate numerous Plant Spirits. Inspector Liu He carefully reminded Luo Feng not to get complacent, as there were many Beyond Wargod existences who could deal with him. "The Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart, let me see it," Inspector Liu He said. "Inspector." Luo Feng took out the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart from his pocket. Inspector Liu He took it and saw the green and golden threads swirling within the oval crystal, causing his eyes to narrow. He nodded: "This Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart is definitely extraordinary. I have a feeling that one Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart is more important than ten Thousand-Year Willow Hearts." Luo Feng smiled upon hearing this. Isn't that right? Chopping down nine willow trees is infinitely easier than chopping down one Willow King. The 'Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart' from a Willow King is naturally not simple. "However, such a treasure cannot be used casually. It needs to be examined by the Grand Hall Master to determine how to use it," Inspector Liu He said solemnly. "Improper use of treasures can easily lead to death. Back then, someone consumed a certain treasure and their body directly exploded." Luo Feng nodded. One could even die from overeating; this Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart is far more potent than a Thousand-Year Willow Heart. Without absolute certainty, Luo Feng wouldn't foolishly consume it. "In short, Luo Feng, you've rendered great service this time," Inspector Liu He said. "Reporting the discovery of Mist Island grants a 10% share. And by excavating and obtaining this treasure, the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart, you've also contributed significantly. You'll receive an additional share then." "Now that you're... a Peak High-Level Wargod Mentalist, the Dojo will likely assign you tasks. There's no need for you to stay in the Elite Training Camp anymore," Inspector Liu He chuckled. "How could the Grand Hall Master not utilize a talent like you? Perhaps there will even be substantial rewards; the Grand Hall Master is not a stingy person." "Inspector..." Luo Feng felt a little uneasy. "Hmm?" Inspector Liu He looked at Luo Feng. "Speak." "I was just wondering, Inspector, if the Grand Hall Master could reward me with a Black God Suit," Luo Feng asked. Inspector Liu He was stunned. This young fellow was truly not modest. After the battle on Mist Island, Luo Feng genuinely desired the Black God Suit. Its effects were simply too good, far superior to an SS-grade combat uniform. In truth, Luo Feng hadn't yet obtained the Wargod title; legally speaking, he wasn't a Wargod. Logically, Luo Feng could continue to stay in the Elite Training Camp, repeatedly claiming first place... wouldn't that earn him massive rewards? Wouldn't he then obtain the Black God Suit? "If I stayed in the training camp, I would have had a chance to get it," Luo Feng quipped. "You brat, you're practically invincible among Wargods, and you still have the nerve to compete with those youngsters?" Inspector Liu He said, both amused and exasperated. "I really can't make decisions about the Black God Suit. We'll see what the Grand Hall Master says later!" Inspectors rarely interacted with students. Inspector Liu He proactively told Luo Feng his name and conversed warmly, clearly intending to befriend him. But he hadn't expected Luo Feng, a formidable Invincible Wargod and an absolute big shot, to act like a child. Oh... indeed, Luo Feng was only nineteen years old; he was still a young fellow. "Boom~~~" In the dark night, the entire Mist Island suddenly trembled, startling Luo Feng, Inspector Liu He, and Councilor Fa'er, who were all in mid-air. "Run!" a sharp cry rang out. The golden-masked man flew back in a disheveled state. "Whoosh!" From a distance, a black-purple vine, easily twenty centimeters in diameter, shot through the air... The length of this vine was endless to the eye. Even under Councilor Fa'er's fiery illumination, what was visible was already five or six hundred meters long, with an unknown length still hidden in the distant fog. It was like a colossal vine stretching between heaven and earth! This long vine, like a tentacle, extended hundreds of meters and was still rapidly stretching out, coiling towards the golden-masked man. The golden-masked man's backpack was completely bulging, clearly filled with a large number of Plant Spirits.
