Awakening

The thin young man was none other than the infamous 'Cobra' of Yian District, who had made his name with his exceptional throwing knife skills. From the moment the other prisoners began their frenzied assault on Luo Feng, this Cobra youth had been seeking the perfect opportunity to strike. Now, as Luo Feng was in the thick of the fight, at his most frenzied, he made his move! This throwing knife was incredibly insidious. As it flew, it was perfectly obscured by a prisoner's body, preventing Luo Feng from seeing it coming at all. "Whoosh!" The throwing knife shot out from between the legs of a flung-back prisoner. By the time Luo Feng saw the blade, it was only two meters away! "Damn it!" "No time." Luo Feng's nerves reacted quickly, but in such a short time, he simply couldn't move his body to dodge. The throwing knife wasn't aimed at a vital spot, but rather at Luo Feng's right shoulder. "No!" Luo Feng's eyes widened. For a Warrior, the arm used for weapons is extremely important. Luo Feng used a blade, and his dominant hand was his right. If the joint in his right shoulder were pierced and the bone fractured, he wouldn't be able to practice his blade techniques or fight monsters for several months. This meant that if he was hit, he wouldn't be able to participate in the Warrior Combat Assessment on August 1st, and would have to wait until February 1st of next year. "No! Get out of the way, move!!!" Faced with the astonishing speed of the throwing knife, and a mere two-meter distance, Luo Feng couldn't possibly think about the consequences. In this critical moment, his entire mind instantly tensed, and the power in his muscles and bones surged to their limit. Staring intently at the throwing knife, he had only one goal, one belief— Dodge this throwing knife, don't let it hit my shoulder! "Pfft!" Just as the throwing knife was about to strike Luo Feng, its tip strangely shifted its trajectory slightly. Originally flying straight for Luo Feng's shoulder, it instead grazed past his shoulder, only scraping the surface skin. A trace of blood slightly stained Luo Feng's shoulder clothing. "Everyone squat down, everyone squat down!" "Quick, squat." At this moment, a large number of detention center police officers, armed with assault rifles, had rushed into the hall. The previously frenzied prisoners immediately squatted down obediently, even the thin young man 'Cobra'. He looked at Luo Feng in shock: "How could this be? How did my throwing knife miss?" Seeing the police rush in, Luo Feng immediately squatted down as well. "How did the throwing knife change trajectory just now?" Luo Feng, squatting, was very puzzled. But just then, a terrifying headache suddenly erupted without warning. This intense pain was as if a sharp spike was relentlessly drilling into Luo Feng's mind, making his entire body convulse. He collapsed directly to the ground. "What's going on?" "You few, come with me and take a look." The police officers who had secured the situation looked at Luo Feng in shock. Luo Feng's entire body was crimson, sweat beads continuously seeped out, and even tiny beads of blood oozed forth, quickly staining his clothes completely red. His veins bulged like green snakes coiling around him, making Luo Feng appear terrifying beyond anything they had seen. "Not good, he's passed out from the pain." "Quick, get him to the infirmary next door." The police were startled by Luo Feng's appearance. Even though Luo Feng had lost consciousness, his body remained crimson. Inside Luo Feng's mind. Powerful, mysterious energy continuously surged from Luo Feng's mind, instantly integrating into every part of his body. Under the baptism of this mysterious power, Luo Feng's entire skeletal structure, internal organs, blood, muscles, and skin were undergoing drastic changes. Every single cell was continuously transforming. This transformation was hundreds, even thousands of times faster than when Luo Feng cultivated gene original energy himself. Ordinarily, such violent and rapid changes would cause the body to collapse and explode. But with the integration of that mysterious power, although Luo Feng's body exhibited numerous phenomena such as convulsions, blood seepage, and bone tremors, at least his body suffered no internal injuries. "Quick, be careful, take him to the infirmary." The police immediately carried Luo Feng away to the infirmary. The details of this large-scale brawl were quickly compiled. ... Eight PM. In a quiet three-story building within the Detention Center, a massive two-hundred-inch screen hung on the wall in the first-floor living room, currently playing a movie. "Pause." A middle-aged man in a bathrobe on the sofa spoke, and the movie immediately paused. Just then, a knock came from outside. "Come in." The door opened automatically, and a man in military uniform walked in, respectfully saying, "Director, the details of this large-scale brawl have been clarified. Zhou Huayang arranged for people to deal with this young man named Luo Feng, but the result was a large group of people injured by Luo Feng, several of them seriously injured." "That Zhou Huayang kid? Relying on some influence from his Zhou family, he's really arrogant enough," the middle-aged man in the bathrobe said indifferently. "Although Zhou Huayang arranged it, we suspect the one truly intending to harm Luo Feng is the young man named Zhang Haobai," the officer respectfully said. "We reviewed Luo Feng's file, and his entry into the Detention Center was also related to Zhang Haobai. It's highly probable Zhang Haobai asked Zhou Huayang for help." Currently, the entire Huaxia Nation has a total of six Base Cities. Because humanity had gathered together like never before, the nation's control over its citizens was even stronger. "However, Director, based on our investigation of the brawl scene, with the metal benches and tables, each dented by fists, we judged that Luo Feng's physical fitness must have reached the Warrior level," the officer said with conviction. The dining benches and tables in the Detention Center were metal products. Luo Feng's fists had dented the metal tables, and a single palm strike had even severed a metal bench. How terrifying! "Warrior level?" The usually composed middle-aged man suddenly stood up, frowning, and stared at the officer. "Are you certain?" "One hundred percent certain!" the officer replied. "And I just called the Thunder Dojo and the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo to verify. Luo Feng just underwent the Prospective Warrior Assessment and has passed! It hasn't yet been entered into his citizen identity information, but we believe it will be recorded in the next few days." "A Prospective Warrior? What's a Prospective Warrior doing in a Detention Center?" The middle-aged man frowned. "If this really escalates, it'll be troublesome." Warriors, no matter which faction they belong to, highly value Warrior rights. If a Warrior suffers a disadvantage in the police system, it will certainly incur the dissatisfaction of all Warriors, and then the trouble will be immense. After all, the police system has no authority to detain or imprison Warriors. "Where is Luo Feng now?" the middle-aged man asked. "Luo Feng has had a strange headache condition since childhood. It flared up during his college entrance exam, and it just flared up again. However, he has now returned to normal and is in the infirmary, still unconscious," the officer replied. The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then immediately ordered: "Immediately send Luo Feng to the nearby military convalescent residential district and let him rest! When he wakes up, you will personally apologize to him on my behalf. Tomorrow morning, we will contact his Extreme Martial Arts Dojo to clarify the matter. We must turn this big problem into a small one, and the small one into nothing! Then send him home." "Yes, Director." The officer immediately acknowledged the order and left. ... Late night. In the quiet bedroom, Luo Feng's eyes twitched slightly, then opened. "Where is this?" Luo Feng's consciousness cleared. He gazed around. The spots on the window's railing were incredibly clear. The sound of other residents watching TV nearby was surprisingly loud. He could even hear the conversations of people walking on the distant road at night. "No, it's not that the sound is loud. My hearing has improved significantly." Luo Feng got out of bed and stood up, looking around the bedroom. His sight, hearing, and even smell had all undergone an astonishing improvement. Luo Feng's gaze fell on a nearby stool. A thought stirred in his mind, and an invisible force instantly took control of the stool. This invisible force was imperceptible to the naked eye, but Luo Feng himself could clearly feel it; it instantly extended from his mind. "What kind of power is this? How do I have such power?" Luo Feng felt his heartbeat quicken, finding it incredible. This invisible force was like an invisible hand. Whoosh! In the dead of night, the stool actually floated up. With a thought, Luo Feng looked at the nearby bed, and the entire bed floated up. He turned to look at the TV cabinet, and it too floated up. Following that, three chairs, a coffee table, and the wardrobe next to it all floated off the ground. Soon— Almost all items in the bedroom lifted off the ground, as if there was no gravity in space. "Controlling so many things to float, and I don't feel any strain at all?" Luo Feng slowly walked to the balcony. In the profound silence of the late night, his gaze fell on the railing. With a thought. Clang! A steel bar slowly rotated, then forcibly detached from the railing. Under Luo Feng's gaze, the front section of the steel bar began to gradually twist and deform, becoming sharp and pointed, forming a steel spike. Everything was suspended in mid-air, controlled by that invisible force. "Go!" Luo Feng thought. The steel spike was swift as lightning, shooting towards a rockery in the residential district below. With astonishing speed, it instantly pierced through a large rock on the rockery. After piercing the rock, the spike returned to continue piercing through it. Swish! Swish! Swish! The steel spike transformed into countless afterimages, relentlessly piercing through the rockery, as if it were being continuously riddled by armor-piercing rounds. The entire rockery quickly became a sieve. "Boom!" Suddenly, a low explosion. The two-to-three-meter-tall rockery completely burst apart into countless shattered stones, and the steel spike, which Luo Feng had been controlling, also completely shattered into fine powder. "Who's there?" "Whoop, whoop~~" Alarm sirens immediately blared throughout the military convalescent residential district. High-intensity spotlights illuminated the area, and numerous guards rushed over, armed with firearms. Luo Feng, however, ducked his head, slipped back into the room, and lay on the bed, his heart filled with shock: "That large rock, a meter or two thick, was instantly pierced through! The power of the steel spike I controlled was comparable to an armor-piercing round from a heavy sniper rifle, and that's because the steel spike wasn't sturdy or sharp enough. The steel spike was ultimately shattered into powder by the recoil." "I pierced it over a hundred times in an instant, wasn't that like firing over a hundred armor-piercing rounds in an instant?" Luo Feng gasped sharply. "What, what exactly is going on?" Such mysterious and terrifying power had awakened in this ordinary military convalescent residential district!
