Chapter 81

War God Palace

Tiger Fang Squad Captain Pan Ya couldn't help but rush towards the combat suits and corpse remains. Gazing at the bloody, mangled remains on the ground, the Tiger Fang Squad Captain clenched his fists in agony. "Pan Ya, they're dead. What good is your grief now?" the old man named Liu snapped. "Oh, what's going on?" The Wang-named man smiled faintly, looking over. The mixed-race youth beside him quickly explained with a smile, "Uncle Wang, it's like this. My father sent me out for real combat training this time, with old Liu and Kalong protecting me. We also hired a Warrior-level Warrior Squad to ensure we had enough manpower. However, out of their six-person squad, five have died, leaving only him." "Six people, five dead?" A deep voice rumbled from the giant's throat. "This squad is far too weak!" "Mr. Li," the old man named Liu said respectfully, "It's not that the Tiger Fang Squad is weak. In fact, a few days ago, when we went out for the young master's real combat training, two team members who stayed behind at the stronghold were attacked by monsters and died on the spot! And this time, while we were resting on the sixth floor, we were inexplicably attacked by this large group of monsters... The three weaker members died in the beast horde." The Wang-named man frowned slightly. The giant also looked puzzled. "That's strange?" It was very rare for a monster horde to attack a stronghold where human Warriors were hiding. For this to happen twice in a row was even more bizarre! "Someone is plotting against you," the Wang-named man said calmly. "It must be someone with a grudge against the Tiger Fang Squad!" ... Hiding in a bathroom on the second floor of a residential building not far away, Luo Feng had reduced his breathing to an absolute minimum, not daring to make a sound. He clearly heard the Wang-named man's words from afar and was startled. "This man's guess is spot on!" "A grudge against the Tiger Fang Squad?" Pan Ya walked over. "Uncle Wang?" The mixed-race youth also looked at the Wang-named man in confusion. "Although your father has some enemies, they are all War Gods! A War God wouldn't stoop to killing a child like you; your father would go mad and wipe out their entire family," the Wang-named man said with a faint smile. "Besides, if a War God wanted to kill you, you'd be dead the first day you left the Base City." The mixed-race youth nodded. "Your father is right. Li Wei, you've received Elite Tier training, but your current combat strength is quite ordinary," the Wang-named man said. "How are your physical attributes now?" "My physical attributes are considered Intermediate Tier Warrior-level. However... I can now handle most 'Beginner Tier Warrior-level monsters'," the mixed-race youth replied. "Very ordinary! Extremely ordinary! Or rather... poor!" The Wang-named man said with some dissatisfaction. "Human intelligence is higher than monster intelligence! Only Lord-level monsters have intelligence comparable to humans! Therefore... true Warrior masters can generally deal with monsters of the same rank. Some exceptional Warriors can even defeat monsters beyond their rank! Your physical attributes are comparable to Intermediate Tier Warrior-level, yet you can only handle Beginner Tier Warrior-level? You still lack a lot of training!" The mixed-race youth nodded honestly. "Your physical attributes are good, and your parents are willing to spend a lot of money on you!" the Wang-named man said earnestly. "With your talent, plus your parents' support, becoming a 'War God-level' within ten years is very achievable! So now you must seriously absorb real combat experience! Only when you become a War God and join the 'War God Palace' will others respect you, instead of seeing you as an arrogant young master." "Understood, Uncle Wang." The mixed-race youth gritted his teeth and nodded. His father was a powerful figure, and his mother was also a War God-level expert from a super-family in the European Union. With his parents' genes, Li Wei had excellent talent. Even without entering the wilderness, his physical attributes had reached Intermediate Tier Warrior-level over these two decades! If his father and mother spent a large sum of money, it wouldn't be difficult for Li Wei to become a 'War God' in the future. "May I ask, senior, what is the War God Palace?" Tiger Fang Squad Captain Pan Ya, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask. ... Luo Feng, still hiding and not daring to make a sound, also perked up his ears. Yes, what was the War God Palace? "Generally, those who reach 'Advanced Tier Warrior-level' are informed," the Wang-named man glanced at him. "Your strength is good, so telling you in advance is fine! The War God Palace is an organization formed by all War God-level experts, and even those who transcend War God-level, from the world's five major powers and various Base Cities!" "Globally, it can be said that all War Gods are members of the War God Palace!" "And the world's number one expert, 'Hong', and 'Lei Shen', are the founders of the War God Palace! This is a pinnacle force belonging to us Warriors," the Wang-named man said with a slight smile. Tiger Fang Squad Captain Pan Ya was stunned. Luo Feng, hiding in the distance, was also greatly surprised. My goodness, all the War Gods of humanity worldwide gathered into one force? And it was co-founded by peerless experts like 'Hong' and 'Lei Shen'? Once this force was established, the major powers would have no way to contend with it! "The War God Palace is the sanctuary of Warriors." "The War God Palace is humanity's last bastion against monsters!" "The purpose of the War God Palace is, first, to pursue the ultimate physical strength of humanity. Second, to eliminate the monsters on Earth!" The Wang-named man's eyes glowed faintly as he spoke each word. Everyone present felt their blood boil, including the elderly old man named Liu, who was filled with anticipation. He was an Advanced Tier Warrior-level, just one step away, but given his age, it seemed difficult for him to break through further. Luo Feng, hiding in the distance, listened with equal anticipation. "Alright, Li Wei, you all should leave quickly." The Wang-named man smiled. "Mr. Li and I still need to prepare to deal with that 'Advanced Tier Lord-level' Iron Armored Dragon. This operation is very dangerous, so you should leave immediately and get far away, preferably to the highway outside the suburbs." "Iron Armored Dragon?" The mixed-race youth's eyes widened. Pan Ya, the old man named Liu, and the burly white man also gasped. "Good heavens." Luo Feng, hiding in the distance, was also greatly surprised. "These two War Gods are truly daring; that's an Advanced Tier Lord-level Iron Armored Dragon!" Lord-level monsters have intelligence comparable to humans, and due to their innate nature, their physical attributes are generally stronger than humans of the same rank! Therefore, even Advanced Tier War Gods usually have to flee from an Advanced Tier Lord-level monster. Two War Gods teaming up to kill an Advanced Tier Lord? Were they crazy? "Haha, that Iron Armored Dragon just laid eggs, so its strength is significantly weakened," the Wang-named man chuckled. "It's the perfect opportunity!" "Laid eggs?" The mixed-race youth and others were very surprised. "Alright, hurry up and leave. That Iron Armored Dragon is only about ten li away from here. Once we make our move, the massive beast horde it controls might become agitated... The surrounding area will be affected, so it's safest for you to escape Shanghai City and get onto the highway." The Wang-named man said. Every Lord-level monster is intelligent and controls a massive monster population. "Understood," the mixed-race youth nodded repeatedly. "Then, nephew wishes Mr. Li and Uncle Wang success." "Let's go." At the mixed-race youth's command, Pan Ya and the others immediately left at high speed. They dared not neglect the War God's warning and rushed towards the city's outskirts. Along the way. The mixed-race youth and his group of four were filled with awe. "Mr. Wang and Mr. Li are truly amazing. To go and kill an Advanced Tier Lord! Even if its strength is weakened after laying eggs, it's still an Advanced Tier Lord," the old man named Liu couldn't help but exclaim. "Are these two the legendary Shadow Blade Brothers, 'Shadow Blade' Wang Tong and 'Mighty Bear' Li Kan?" Pan Ya couldn't help but ask. "Yes." The mixed-race youth smiled proudly. "When my parents were young, they were once in a squad with Uncle Wang and Uncle Li. That's a bond forged in life and death!" Tiger Fang Squad Captain Pan Ya couldn't help but sigh. This was what having connections meant! Since his parents were War Gods, naturally, many of his parents' friends were also War Gods! "One day, I too will become a War God and join the War God Palace! Once I join the War God Palace, it will be easy to make friends with other War Gods... Then I'll also have a network composed of many War Gods!" Pan Ya couldn't help but anticipate. "Hmm, only I am left from my Tiger Fang Squad. Later, I'll find a more powerful Warrior Squad to join!" ... Meanwhile, Luo Feng remained hidden and motionless. Voices drifted from outside. "Done with the dissection, right? Let's go, we need to prepare well. Our opponent this time is the Iron Armored Dragon! If it were 'Silver Moon Fierce Wolf', 'Black Cloud Tiger', or other Advanced Tier Lord-level monsters, they would be easier to deal with! But the Iron Armored Dragon is a freak whose speed, defense, strength, and body structure are almost at their limits. Its laying eggs this time is our best opportunity." The voice was clearly that of the Wang-named man. Then the giant's deep voice responded, "Done, Brother Wang." "Good, let's go!" There was a faint whoosh of wind, and then silence. Luo Feng looked out the window; the two had gone far and were out of sight. "Pan Ya was lucky this time. It seems I can't kill him now." Luo Feng knew very well that once the mixed-race youth and his group left the confines of City No. 003, this hunting operation would be over. "Hmm, can't risk it! No big deal, I'll just wait until I encounter Tiger Fang Squad Captain Pan Ya in the wilderness next time." A hint of curiosity appeared in Luo Feng's eyes. "Two War Gods hunting an Advanced Tier Lord-level Iron Armored Dragon whose strength is weakened after laying eggs? And it's only ten li away?" "I absolutely must see this battle." Luo Feng's heart itched; it would be a disservice to himself not to witness such a peerless battle!
