Extraordinary Gains

For the first time, Luo Feng was no longer restricted by Earth's gravity, and the sensation of flying freely was incredibly wonderful. Night, in the wilderness. Luo Feng hovered in mid-air, looking down at his auxiliary optical computer. "Good thing I have this auxiliary optical computer. Time to test my speed!"

The auxiliary optical computer was an essential tool for Yunmo Star members, its functions far surpassing the common 'communication watches' found on Earth. It could detect basic combat power values from Apprentice-level to Universe-level. It also had capabilities for environmental scanning within a certain range, speed testing, and measuring the power of a single strike.

"I'll test my flying speed under all different conditions!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Luo Feng, clad in black, streaked through the air like lightning again and again, each time at a different speed.

In just a moment, he had completed testing his speed under several conditions.

First scenario: Without using a magnetic field or the Duntiansuo, relying purely on psychic energy for propulsion, his speed reached 912 meters per second!

Second scenario: Without using the Duntiansuo, but utilizing both a magnetic field and psychic energy—the typical method for psychic masters—Luo Feng's speed reached 1223 meters per second.

Third scenario: Luo Feng's peak performance, with the Duntiansuo, magnetic field, and psychic energy all unleashed! His speed reached an astonishing 2412 meters per second.

"Using the Duntiansuo versus not using it is like night and day," Luo Feng exclaimed, startled by the data himself. "A First-tier Planetary-level psychic master typically flies at 1200 meters per second. But with the Duntiansuo, I hit 2400 meters per second. That's a full double!"

Luo Feng knew well that the faster one moved, the more astonishing the resistance. Therefore, increasing speed beyond 1200 meters per second was incredibly difficult, let alone doubling it in one go. Even Fourth-tier or Fifth-tier Planetary-level powerhouses might not achieve such incredible speeds.

From this, the formidable power of the Duntiansuo was evident.

"A psychic master possessing a psychic weapon truly boosts their strength by a significant margin," Luo Feng marveled.

"Now, to test my current attack power."

With a thought, one of the blades from the Duntiansuo detached. Propelled by psychic energy, the blade 'whooshed' into a streak of light, violently striking a dilapidated highway service station building in the distance. The gas station structure seemed made of tofu, as it was instantly pierced through, and a powerful explosion erupted, causing most of the ruined station to collapse.

Luo Feng quickly lowered his gaze to the auxiliary optical computer's display.

"Attack Power: First-tier Planetary-level 28% (Psychic Master)"

This data made Luo Feng beam with joy.

The auxiliary optical computer provided an explanation: the so-called First-tier Planetary-level 28% meant that the 'maximum value' for First-tier Planetary-level was exactly double its 'minimum value.' The minimum attack power for a First-tier Planetary-level (Psychic Master) was approximately 1 million kilograms, while the maximum was 2 million kilograms!

Thus, First-tier Planetary-level 28% (Psychic Master) indicated that Luo Feng's blade attack power was around 1.28 million kilograms!

"Just entering First-tier Planetary-level, and my flying blade already has such formidable power. Not bad," Luo Feng thought, quite pleased with himself.

According to the auxiliary optical computer's introduction, after reaching Planetary-level, there was a significant difference between psychic masters and genetic warriors!

The strength of genetic warriors was divided into 'physical strength' and 'genetic energy.' Upon reaching Planetary-level, their genetic energy could be released externally! Their genetic energy attack power could reach 1 million kilograms, and their physical strength also reached 1 million kilograms! Therefore, the base value for a First-tier Planetary-level (Warrior) ranged from 2 million to 4 million kilograms.

That was double that of a psychic master!

It seemed as though warriors had the advantage!

However, it was important to remember... when it came to power amplification, warriors were considered good if they could amplify their strength four or five times. The highest on Earth, Lei Shen, only achieved a 7x amplification!

As for Luo Feng? Even before reaching Planetary-level, he had already achieved a full 16x amplification.

Coupled with his advantage in flying speed... moreover, psychic masters also needed to cultivate genetic energy! After all, a strong body was necessary to bear psychic energy.

"Next, I'll test the power of the Duntiansuo when transformed into the 'Drill Cone.'"

In the dark night, a golden streak flashed across, followed by a thunderous explosion.

"Attack Power: First-tier Planetary-level 28% (Psychic Master), 36x amplification!" Luo Feng felt a surge of exhilaration as he looked at the data on the display.

A 36x amplification!

Lei Shen only had 7x, and the other Planetary-level psychic master on Earth only 14x. The gap between them and him was immense.

In truth, when Luo Feng activated the 'Drill Cone's First Layer,' he used 12 strands of psychic energy, resulting in a 12x amplification. However, the 'Drill Cone's' power magnified the psychic energy Luo Feng infused by three times! This led to the terrifying '36x amplification.'

"According to what the bald crystal man said, most Planetary-levels on Earth are First-tier, a few are Second-tier, and there are two Third-tier Planetary-levels! Higher than that are Hong and Lei Shen."

"Those two Third-tier Planetary-level warriors! Their strength is probably comparable to mine, but in terms of speed, they might even be inferior."

"Let's see how many hidden weapons I can control now." With this life-level leap, Luo Feng felt his consciousness had grown considerably stronger, though he wasn't sure by how much.

With a thought.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Blade after blade detached from the Duntiansuo, weaving around him at extreme speed, each maintaining Luo Feng's current maximum attack power.

One, two, three... sixteen, seventeen, eighteen blades!

"The nineteenth blade can't maintain its power."

"Eighteen blades."

Luo Feng's smile grew even brighter. "Eighteen..."

"Doesn't that mean I can now learn the second layer of the Duntian's First Form?"

The Duntiansuo's First Form had a total of three layers. The first layer required controlling 12 hidden weapons to cultivate, the second layer required 18, and the third layer required 24! Improving one's consciousness was incredibly difficult; Luo Feng had only managed a slight increase through his Planetary-level leap.

From now on, he could only cultivate step by step.

"The first layer already has such immense power."

"What about the second layer?"

"Even if it's still a three-fold power magnification, 18 multiplied by 3 is a staggering 54x attack power amplification! Everyone below Hong and Lei Shen could be defeated in a single strike!"

This time, upon reaching Planetary-level, the number of flying blades he could control increased from 16 to 18, which was indeed an extraordinary gain! This gain allowed Luo Feng to directly learn the second layer of the Duntian's First Form. However... when he actually started learning, Luo Feng found it incredibly difficult.

Back when he could control 16 blades, and the first layer only required '12 blades,' he still spent several hours learning, failing thousands, even tens of thousands of times!

This time, Luo Feng barely met the requirements...

January 2nd, failure!

January 3rd, still a failure!

January 4th, yet another failure!

Luo Feng finally understood the immense difficulty of learning the Duntian. But despite the challenge... once he succeeded, Luo Feng was destined to become Earth's third strongest expert, after Hong and Lei Shen. As for now... Luo Feng was confident he could defeat the Third and Fourth Councilors, but achieving a one-hit kill would be difficult!

Their strengths were quite close.

January 5th was the day Luo Feng was to assume his role as Inspector.

And in the early hours of that day.

Above the ocean, a blood-red triangular fighter jet swiftly flew by. This fighter jet was Hong's unique 'Primordial-grade Intelligent Fighter Jet.'

Inside the fighter jet.

Hong, clad in black, and Lei Shen, in a white robe, were both seated.

"Brother Hong, don't try to snatch any benefits from Mist Island this time," Lei Shen quickly said.

"Benefits? Talking about benefits now? First, let's deal with that monster emperor," Hong said, glancing at Lei Shen. He picked up a cup of tea nearby, took a sip, and sighed, "This monster emperor is currently the third monster emperor on Earth. Although it just appeared, it can exert its full strength underground and underwater."

"Difficult as it may be, Mist Island definitely holds a great treasure," Lei Shen said, a hint of reluctance in his voice. Lei Shen continued, somewhat unwillingly, "Those plant spirits are one thing, but last time you discovered the Moyun Teng on Mist Island. According to the information we obtained from ancient civilization ruins, this Moyun Teng... is an extremely precious treasure even in the vast cosmos. With the Moyun Teng... Brother Hong, your strength must have increased considerably, right?"

"The Moyun Teng is still growing. Currently, it can probably increase my strength by fifty percent," Hong, the man in black, rarely showed a smile.

"Fifty percent!"

"Brother Hong, your strength is already unrivaled among Planetary-levels. A fifty percent increase! And when the Moyun Teng continues to grow, its effects will be even more astonishing," Lei Shen couldn't help but say. "Mist Island produced a Moyun Teng, and now a powerful monster we've never seen before has appeared. It must be because Mist Island holds treasures, which is why it attracts so many monsters."

Hong nodded slightly. "Indeed."

"When Luo Feng first discovered Mist Island, there were already numerous monsters in the lake surrounding it. Although I was puzzled then... why so many aquatic monsters gathered in that lake, my mind was focused on the Moyun Teng. I simply took the Moyun Teng, briefly investigated Mist Island, found nothing, and left."

"Now it seems—"

"Not only were there numerous monster lords in that lake, but a 'monster emperor' actually emerged." Hong frowned. "Judging by its octopus-like appearance, it's clearly suited for living in water and underground. Logically, a monster emperor of its caliber should have entered the endless ocean, yet it has been lurking thousands of meters deep beneath Mist Island."

"Plant spirits, Moyun Teng, a monster emperor..."

"Mist Island is indeed very special." Hong looked at Lei Shen and smiled faintly. "However, the treasures within Mist Island are for those who are fated to find them. Don't worry, I won't contend with you for them. But you also know... for things like ancient civilization ruins, it's not about who is stronger. It's about luck and destiny."

Lei Shen nodded slightly, then grinned. "After the inauguration ceremony for your Extreme Martial Arts Dojo's new Inspector is over, I'll just stay on Mist Island. I refuse to believe... I won't find any treasures."

"If you stay there, I'll go too. We'll see which of us brothers has better luck," Hong said with a faint smile.

"Greedy," Lei Shen simply said.
