Army General

Since the Grand Nirvana period, the oceans have been the undisputed territory of monsters! Earth's ocean area is vastly larger than its landmass, and these boundless seas have given birth to all manner of terrifying creatures! It's safe to say that if a person were thrown into the deep ocean, no matter how skilled a swimmer they were, they would likely be reduced to mere bones within seconds!

Three thousand meters beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

The massive, oval-shaped black giant egg lay motionless. Approximately 12 minutes after it plunged into this oceanic region, a fish-type monster, seven to eight meters long with iridescent blue scales, swam towards it. Circling the giant egg, the monster moved slowly. With its rudimentary intelligence, it surmised that the giant egg before it was no mere rock.

Suddenly—

The fish-type monster opened its enormous maw, revealing large, sharp teeth. Two rows of interlocking, separated teeth resembled saws. It lunged, biting fiercely into the black egg!

“Crunch!”

The colossal fish-type monster thrashed its head in agony, a faint trace of blood appearing in its massive mouth, and several broken teeth fell out! One must remember that its bite force was astonishing; this fish-type monster could easily crush even seabed rocks into powder. Not even the corpse of a Lord-level monster would cause its teeth to break!

Terrified, the blue-scaled fish-type monster flicked its tail, and with a whoosh, swiftly departed.

The black giant egg remained unmoving at the bottom of the ocean, its shell still pitch-black, interspersed with mysterious golden patterns. The terrifying bite from the fish-type monster had left not a single mark.

...

Life on Earth continued as usual for humanity.

After Luo Feng and Xu Xin confirmed their relationship, especially with the summer vacation recently underway and Xu Xin not having classes, this young couple often traveled around the world. Every morning and evening, Luo Feng dedicated himself to cultivation. As for the afternoons… those were Luo Feng and Xu Xin's time together.

After lunch, the two would take a smart fighter jet, allowing them to travel to any Base City in the Huaxia Nation within a very short time.

...

On the morning of August 26th, in Luo Feng's exclusive Training Hall on the first floor of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo in Mingyue Residential District, Yangzhou City.

Sitting cross-legged on the Duntiansuo, he hovered in mid-air.

“The third diagram.” Luo Feng closed his eyes, and in his mind, a clear, extremely complex diagram, like a labyrinth, unfolded. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Thirteen blades rapidly spun around Luo Feng's body, moving along the trajectory of the diagram in his mind. Because the diagram had numerous intersections,

The blades often crossed paths with perilous closeness.

“Slow.”

“Faster, even faster.”

“No, brake!”

Sweat beaded on Luo Feng's forehead from the tension. One of the blades suddenly stopped, as three others flew past its front, back, and side.

“Accelerate.”

“Done!”

Luo Feng abruptly opened his eyes, glancing at the communication watch on his left wrist. The timer on his watch was rapidly counting.

“5.11 seconds? Though slow, it's the first time I've completely navigated the entire third diagram.”

“However, I 'braked' and stopped in the middle, delaying by at least a few tenths of a second, which makes this result quite poor.”

“I got 5.11 seconds, but the qualifying time is 3.6 seconds.” Luo Feng couldn't help but shake his head.

The further he progressed, the harder it became to reduce the time. Completing it in 5.11 seconds versus 4.8 seconds might seem like a small difference in time, but the difficulty gap was immense. As for the qualifying '3.6 seconds,' it was simply out of reach for Luo Feng at his current stage. The path was long, and he could only proceed diligently, step by step.

“Again!” Luo Feng closed his eyes and tried once more.

Each practice session typically took only a few seconds!

Luo Feng trained with the Heavenly God Diagram thousands of times every day! He spent almost all his mornings training with the Heavenly God Diagram, and by the end of it, he would be utterly exhausted. As for his evenings, Luo Feng dedicated them to physical fitness, blade techniques, movement techniques, and other aspects.

...

The Sun was high in the sky, around ten in the morning. Luo Feng was still immersed in his cultivation. His powerful spiritual force allowed him to cultivate continuously; the only fatigue… was mental exhaustion. After all, maintaining intense concentration thousands of times every morning, even an Invincible Wargod couldn't endure it without sufficient willpower.

To gain strength…

Talent was important, but willpower was even more so!

“Hmm?” Luo Feng opened his eyes, looking out through the Training Hall window.

A dark blue saucer-shaped fighter jet was slowly descending from high altitude, finally landing on a patch of grass in Mingyue Residential District. Dojo Master Wu Tong, leading several warriors, was there to greet someone. The dark blue saucer-shaped fighter jet's hatch opened, and three people emerged. Unfortunately, Luo Feng didn't recognize any of them.

“Who are these three, coming to Mingyue Residential District?” Luo Feng, still sitting cross-legged on the Duntiansuo, frowned slightly. “To be able to ride in such a fighter jet, they must have some status.”

“Since Uncle Wu didn't notify me to greet them, they probably aren't too important.”

Luo Feng was currently the Inspector for Jiangnan Base City, and his strength was that of an 'Invincible Wargod.' Very few people would warrant him personally greeting them.

“Continue!”

Luo Feng closed his eyes and resumed cultivating the Heavenly God Diagram. Luo Feng knew very well… his talent had allowed him to shoot up like a rocket to the 'peak High-level Wargod' stage. However, now that the dark golden sphere had shattered, breaking through from Wargod to an 'existence beyond Wargods' could not rely on talent alone.

He could only work hard, step by step! Many people were stuck at the High-level Wargod stage, unsure how to proceed, but Luo Feng knew a path suitable for a Psychic Reader—

The Heavenly God Diagram!

Although it required countless hours of cultivation, each small step of progress brought Luo Feng closer to breaking through.

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

After an unknown number of training sessions, his communication watch suddenly rang.

“Phew!” Luo Feng opened his eyes and glanced at his communication watch. “The alarm went off. It's already 11:45; time to go back for lunch.”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Duntiansuo immediately transformed into countless curved blades, and one by one, they streamed from Luo Feng's neck and flew into the black battle armor. Luo Feng himself landed on the ground.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng's gaze swept over the fist strength testing machine. “It's been half a month since I last tested my physical fitness. I should test it!”

When this exclusive Training Hall was completed, Luo Feng had tested himself once.

However—

After consuming Dragon Blood and the Thousand-Year Willow Heart, Luo Feng had only absorbed a portion of their power. A large amount of residual Dragon Blood energy and the vibrant life force of the Thousand-Year Willow Heart were still latent within his body, unabsorbed! As Luo Feng cultivated, these energies were rapidly absorbed, leading to astonishing improvements in his strength these past days!

“Fist strength!” Luo Feng activated the fist strength testing machine.

“Thump!”

Luo Feng's fist struck like a meteor, smashing into the punching target, which swayed violently. This top-tier testing machine, sent by President Zhou and others, was indeed of the highest quality.

“Beep!”

“239881KG” appeared on the display screen.

Luo Feng smiled: “Not bad. I estimate I'll reach 256,000 KG in another month or two of cultivation.” His physical fitness had indeed improved astonishingly since his return recently. No wonder even Hong had said that after continuously consuming Dragon Blood and the Thousand-Year Willow Heart, a large amount of residual power was latent within Luo Feng's body. He didn't need to consume any other treasures; he only needed to cultivate and absorb this power to achieve astonishing improvements.

“Speed!”

Luo Feng activated the speed testing device on the 80-meter track.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng accelerated like lightning. His very first step burst him into supersonic speeds, and after about eight or nine steps, he reached his limit. He transformed into an afterimage, streaked past the speed testing device, and then quickly decelerated to a stop.

“583.6 meters per second?” Luo Feng murmured, looking at the number. “Decent.”

As for nerve reaction speed?

As a Psychic Reader, did he even need to test it? It was definitely excellent at the peak High-level Wargod tier!

“In another month or two, my physical fitness will reach the 'High-level Wargod tier.'”

“And in about two more years, my physical fitness will reach the 'peak High-level Wargod' stage.” Luo Feng, dressed in loose training attire, walked out of the Training Hall.

Click!

The Training Hall door automatically closed.

“Inspector Luo.” In the corridor outside the Training Hall, a young man stood smiling, bowing slightly. “The Commander is waiting for Inspector Luo in the adjacent conference room.”

“Commander? Commander of where?” Luo Feng asked, puzzled.

He didn't seem to know any commanders.

“The Commander of the Southeast Military Region,” the young man replied with a smile.

“Let's go.” Luo Feng nodded.

However, he was secretly surprised… Currently, every Base City had a military region around it, but these were generally Base City-level military regions, referred to as 'Military Sub-regions,' such as the Northern Military Region of Jiangnan Base City. The Southeast Military Region was different… This Southeast Military Region was primarily established to counter sea monsters invading the mainland from the East Sea.

It was a Great Military Region!

A Great Military Region, in terms of troop strength, was several times stronger than a Military Sub-region. Not to mention, its weaponry and equipment were astonishingly more abundant than a Military Sub-region.

...

Inside the conference room.

As Luo Feng stepped into the conference room, he immediately saw three people inside. One middle-aged man, with a hint of gray in his temples, sat ramrod straight, his gaze sharp like a leopard's. Beside him was a middle-aged man wearing glasses. The third person was Dojo Master Wu Tong.

“Hello, Mr. Luo Feng.” The middle-aged man stood up, and the bespectacled man beside him also stood with a smile.

“Hello.” Luo Feng was slightly puzzled.

However, he felt a good impression… because he recognized that these were the same people who had arrived earlier in the saucer-shaped fighter jet. They had clearly been here for nearly two hours but had waited patiently, not disturbing his cultivation! For that alone, he had to show them respect.

“Ah, Luo Feng.” Wu Tong, who was beside him, chuckled. “Let me introduce you. This is Commander Li Dawei, the Commander of the Southeast Military Region. And beside him is Deputy Commander Wang Luohan, the Deputy Commander.”

Luo Feng nodded.

The Commander of the Southeast Military Region, as the commander of a Great Military Region, held the rank of Army General, the highest military rank in the Huaxia Nation today!

In contrast, commanders of typical Military Sub-regions, such as the Northern Military Region of Jiangnan Base City, held the rank of Army Major General. From the ranks alone, one could imagine the vast disparity in strength between a 'Great Military Region' and a 'Military Sub-region'!

To command the Southeast Military Region… this Li Dawei was definitely a big shot in the Huaxia Nation's military!

And this big shot had personally come, willing to wait for nearly two hours rather than disturb his cultivation.
