Chapter 31
Micro-level
Within the enclosed town, the slaughter continued relentlessly. Some prospective warriors were injured during their first kill against a monster, reluctantly pressing the emergency button on their communication watch, forced to admit defeat; others, after killing a monster, were left pale with fright; while some formidable prospective warriors, after slaying a monster, became wildly excited, thrilled to their core! Not far from the enclosed town, inside a large building, numerous surveillance screens displayed everything happening in various areas of the town. “Such greenhorn tactics!” In one room of the building, a military officer and a burly man were drinking together. A large screen on the wall beside them showed the ongoing slaughter in the town. The burly man sighed, “Watching these youngsters battle monsters, it reminds me of our own youth!” “Indeed, look at them, most are in their twenties, the prime of their youth, yet also their most naive stage,” the military officer echoed with a sigh. “Old Wang, in the blink of an eye, both of us brothers have grown old. Back then, we were the rising stars of Jiangnan City. Now you’re the supervisor of the Thunder Dojo, a big shot in your own right, haha.” The burly man laughed heartily, “Iron Monkey, haven’t you also climbed to the rank of Major General?” “Hmm?” The military officer looked at the screen in surprise, growing more astonished with each passing moment. “Old Wang, look quickly.” The screen displayed surveillance footage from various parts of the town. With numerous cameras recording, the images on the screen would switch accordingly. “It switched?” The military officer immediately pressed the button on the nearby landline and ordered, “Lock onto the prospective warrior captured by camera 21 just now. Lock him.” “Yes, sir.” A crisp, powerful voice responded from the phone. Wang Heng, the burly man, looked at his good brother with a puzzled expression. “Iron Monkey, what exactly did you see just now?” “Old Wang, you’ll know in a moment,” the military officer replied with a mysterious smile. Soon, the previously recorded footage reappeared on the screen. Five dark figures were relentlessly attacking a prospective warrior. These five dark figures were five H-level Shadow Cats, and the prospective warrior under attack, wielding a hexagonal shield and a Blood Shadow Battle Blade, looked very young—it was Luo Feng! “Oh?” The burly man’s eyes lit up. “What do you think? Isn’t this young man impressive?” the military officer exclaimed in admiration. “This young man is actually treating this warrior combat assessment as a free opportunity to train his movement technique! And… look, his movement technique is extraordinary.” “Micro-level!” “Indeed, Micro-level!” The burly man’s eyes gleamed as he stared intently at Luo Feng, who was under attack by five Shadow Cats. Luo Feng’s every dodge and movement was minimal, yet he skillfully and effortlessly evaded each Shadow Cat’s assault. That air of casual stroll completely captivated both powerful figures! Many Warlord-level warriors cannot even achieve Micro-level movement technique. “His movement technique has actually reached the Micro-level. Unbelievable, truly unbelievable!” The burly man gasped. “He’s only 18 years old. Movement technique is different from physical fitness; good talent can lead to strong physical fitness. But movement technique requires accumulating experience through countless battles, building a solid foundation, and only then can one gradually step into the ‘Micro-level’.” “How do you know he’s 18?” The military officer jumped in surprise. “Do you know him?” “His name is Luo Feng, damn it, he was recruited early by the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo,” the burly man said with resentment. “The Extreme Martial Arts Dojo really got lucky. This Luo Feng, at only 18 years old, not only has excellent physical fitness, but his movement technique is even more astonishing! Micro-level, at such a young age, to reach Micro-level movement technique, what will he achieve in the future?” One must know… Among Warlord-level warriors, many haven’t even reached Micro-level movement technique! It’s unimaginable how terrifying it is for movement technique to reach this level. In real combat, physical fitness is only one aspect; movement technique, blade technique, and awareness all play crucial roles. “No way!” The burly man slammed the table. “Such a genius cannot be snatched away by the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo! Luckily, I had good fortune, coming to drink with you, Iron Monkey, and seeing this footage.” “What are you planning to do?” the military officer chuckled. “What am I planning? Poaching him!” The burly man glared. “I’m going to poach him! The Extreme Martial Arts Dojo probably hasn’t realized how astonishing this young man’s movement technique is yet. I’ll poach him first! It’s just money, isn’t it? Hmph! What luck, what luck, this year’s batch actually produced such a formidable kid. Compared to him, that Wan Dong is miles behind!” The military officer laughed. “Iron Monkey, later, make a copy of this footage for me,” the burly man said. “Alright, minor thing,” the military officer nodded with a smile. … At dawn, within the enclosed monster town, in a dilapidated residential district, Luo Feng was being besieged by three Tiger Mastiff Hounds, two Shadow Cats, and two Iron-Furred Wild Boars. It took considerable effort for Luo Feng to attract all seven monsters to surround him. “Good.” “Again.” “Just like that.” Luo Feng was as calm as if he were taking a stroll, sometimes stepping left, sometimes right, sometimes retreating, sometimes advancing. Sometimes he would slightly twist his waist, sometimes bend his body… With just these subtle movements, all seven monsters couldn’t even touch a hair on Luo Feng’s body. “Roar~~” Out of the corner of his eye, Luo Feng noticed a Tiger Mastiff Hound pouncing from behind, while four other monsters attacked simultaneously. Assessing the situation, he immediately shifted his feet, his figure moving with an ethereal grace. “Damn it, almost!” Luo Feng inwardly cursed with a hint of helplessness. Just as the Shadow Cat’s sharp claws were about to strike Luo Feng, strangely, his body shifted five centimeters horizontally, narrowly evading the attack. “The legendary Micro-level movement technique is truly difficult to master.” It appeared Luo Feng had evaded all attacks, but in reality… Luo Feng knew very well that he had failed! Because at the last moment, he used his mental force on the hexagonal shield on his left arm, generating a thrust! It was precisely this sudden thrust that allowed Luo Feng to shift five centimeters horizontally! During combat, movement technique is extremely important, which is why Luo Feng spent almost the entire night honing his. According to common knowledge… movement technique training first requires a very solid foundation, usually ten years of arduous effort. Then, after years of frequent battles with monsters, various dodging instincts are formed, gradually leading to proficiency. When proficiency reaches its peak, it becomes second nature, like a reflex. Solid foundation, proficiency, and instinctive execution! These are considered the initial three levels of movement technique. Above these three levels… is the Micro-level! Micro-level signifies an extremely subtle control over one’s strength and body, allowing for the most precise evasions with minimal effort. Every movement and dodge appears as if calculated by a computer! The difficulty of Micro-level movement technique lies in the fact that during small-scale dodges, a single mistake can easily lead to being hit by a monster! And being hit by a monster usually means death or severe injury. Training Micro-level movement technique against monsters significantly weaker than oneself yields little to no effect. Luo Feng was currently under attack by seven monsters simultaneously, and he was already exerting 100% of his strength and speed. However, for one person to evade all seven attacking monsters was an extremely high difficulty! “I guess I can be considered Micro-level now?” “I also use the smallest range of movement to execute precise evasions. Of course, sometimes there are errors.” Luo Feng felt mentally fatigued. His Blood Shadow Battle Blade, which had been idle, swiftly swung, and immediately, monsters let out angry, pained roars. Five streams of blood spurted out consecutively, and of the seven monsters that had been battling Luo Feng for a while, five were killed on the spot, while the other two, sensing danger, fled. “Regardless…” “After this night of intense training, my movement technique is at least one or two times stronger than before.” Luo Feng revealed a faint smile. How could any amount of past practice compare to close-quarters combat with monsters? And how could typical monster battles compare to Luo Feng’s extreme training with minimal movements? Only by truly challenging one’s physical limits can one discover the boundaries of their evasion! This night of training greatly benefited Luo Feng. It’s important to note that in a one-on-one fight, Luo Feng was stronger than these H-level Tiger Mastiff Hounds, Shadow Cats, and Iron-Furred Wild Boars. Luo Feng was strong in a one-on-one. But seven monsters attacking one person could still kill a human. After all, a punch could deliver over 3000 kilograms of force, yet a monster’s impact force exceeding 2000 kilograms could still make Luo Feng vomit blood! Even the equally talented ‘Wan Dong’ wouldn’t dare to train so brazenly! Otherwise, he could easily be torn apart by seven monsters. But Luo Feng dared! Because he possessed mental force, if he made a mistake in dodging and encountered danger, Luo Feng could immediately apply his mental force to his shield or Blood Shadow Battle Blade, adding an extra push out of thin air. This allowed him to use the force to shift horizontally and dodge again. “Unfortunately, this mental force can only act on inanimate objects; once it gets close to a human body, it directly penetrates inside,” Luo Feng shook his head. Mental force couldn’t control humans or animals, only metal, wood, and similar materials. Nevertheless, mental force had already given Luo Feng a huge surprise. At the very least… he could achieve Micro-level evasion. Of course, it was a mutated Micro-level. Because if he made a mistake, he had to rely on mental force for a push! Yet, his evasion ability was no worse than a normal Micro-level, and even more uncanny! “Woo-woo~~ Woo-woo~~ Woo-woo~~” Suddenly, a series of piercing sounds echoed throughout the entire town, and simultaneously, a deep voice boomed through loudspeakers across the town, “Time’s up! All prospective warriors, proceed immediately to the town exit.” “The warrior combat assessment is over?” Luo Feng smiled. “In the future, I will continue to attempt this Micro-level movement technique training until one day, I can achieve Micro-level movement technique without the aid of mental force.” Luo Feng cut off the left ears of the five nearby monsters, put them into his backpack, and then quickly headed towards the monster town’s main gate.
