Chapter 140 Masters of both Heavenly and Earthly Escape Techniques

Since this "conflict broke out".

Xu Feng could sense that the entire reconstruction team's attitude towards him had changed considerably.

Regardless of whether they originally respected or looked down on him as an external martial artist and chief engineer.

Now, whenever I see him, I have to greet him politely with "Hello, Mr. Xu".

However, Hsu Feng did not become arrogant because of this.

He remained as gentle and low-key as ever.

He often identifies himself as an engineer rather than a martial artist.

This greatly changed the attitude of many martial artists towards him.

After all, who doesn't like or admire someone who is both capable and humble?

Even Fan Min's martial arts squad didn't dare to cause any more trouble.

As for the plan to eliminate those mutated creatures.

After discussion, everyone decided to use the flesh and blood of mutated creatures as bait.

Although the effect was mediocre, a large number of the mutated creatures in the surrounding area did die, greatly reducing daily maintenance costs.

Simultaneously.

Xu Feng also made reasonable allocations of the beast-level flesh and blood that the brigade had been assigned to the military repair department.

In addition to the standard rations and reserves for members of the military repair department.

He distributed the rest to the survivors of the shantytowns.

However, it wasn't given away for free.

Instead, they were brought into the military repair department's reconstruction team through a "work-for-relief" program.

It only took a week.

The military repair department took the lead in preparing a clean and tidy office area within the base, suitable for living and working.

At the same time, they also settled all the shantytown survivors nearby and established a new temporary housing area.

After eating animal meat for a week straight.

The survivors of these shantytowns have almost all recovered to normal physiological state and nutritional levels.

The excellent case of the Military Repair Department also inspired other departments to follow suit and completely divide up these "laborers".

Seeing that the survivors had food supplies and jobs, Xu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he never considered himself a good person.

There wasn't much sympathy either.

However, having come from a military background, he was very empathetic to the hardships faced by those at the bottom of society.

Therefore, seeing them treated like this is certainly not a pleasant experience.

Now that these people are at least financially secure, he feels a little more at ease.

The reconstruction work proceeded steadily over the following week.

The harassment from the mutated creatures has decreased, and when it's necessary to take action, Xu Feng is never hesitant.

Because his work was going very smoothly, he had plenty of time to cultivate himself on his own.

Even with some reconstruction, most of the base remains dilapidated.

Therefore, Xu Feng had no reservations about cultivation; he only needed to avoid crowds.

It was only when he went to the wilderness area to cultivate that Xu Feng truly felt what freedom meant.

Here, there are no space restrictions, nor are there any price restrictions.

It means you can train however you want.

Xu Feng was having a blast every day.

And it was during this process.

His secret technique of escaping to the heavens has finally reached the "master" level.

Xu Feng's flight speed, agility, and flight stability have all been greatly improved.

In particular, its flight speed directly exceeds 125m/s.

Let alone mid-level generals.

Even the standard running speed of a high-ranking warrior is only 120m/s.

He has only just begun to enter the master level.

If another half month passes, his secret technique can be further improved, and his flight speed may soon exceed 150 meters.

I just don't know what the speed standard is for a War God-level powerhouse.

He had never learned about this before and always felt it was too far removed from his life.

Now it seems that it's not that far away.

"I wonder when we'll break the sound barrier. I'm really looking forward to it."

Xu Feng was already imagining the scene when he broke the sound barrier.

handsome.

"Now, I can confidently say to others that whether it's escaping to the heavens or to the earth, I am a master."

Xu Feng smiled and slowly lowered himself to continue his cultivation.

Compared to the increase in proficiency of the Heavenly Escape Technique.

He was actually more looking forward to the power of the "Refining the Heart" secret technique after he had mastered it.

The first step is to control the increase in the number of "full-power burst throwing knives".

According to the secret method, this state should be called "one mind, six uses".

In other words, once he reaches this level, Xu Feng can control up to six flying knives to unleash a "full-power attack".

Secondly, once Xu Feng reaches the mastery level, the quality of his mental power should undergo a significant qualitative change.

And the total amount will naturally increase accordingly.

Although this kind of increase in total mental power is far inferior to that of a natural-born mental master.

But for him, at least it's an increase, isn't it?
It's better than standing still, right?

"Oh, another support team has arrived."

As the transport planes landed one after another, Huang Sen said to Xu Feng.

"Old Xu, are you feeling any pressure? I've heard that in the last six months, Base Nine has seen a lot of talented martial artists and experts."

Look, this time, just from the side of rebuilding the troops, there are four mid-level generals and nine low-level generals.

As for high-ranking warriors, there are too many to count.

It's clear that rebuilding the base is a lucrative job; just clearing out the mutated creatures in the surrounding area can bring in tens of millions of dollars per person.

Not to mention, once the base is built, if you can stay here as a department head, your income will skyrocket. Do you feel pressured?

Xu Feng replied without hesitation, "No, because I don't plan to stay here."

Besides, even at Base 9, I'm just an engineer.

What do their martial arts competition have to do with me? What pressure do I feel?

Huang Sen was stunned for a moment: "Damn, you're right."

Sigh, actually I really wanted to stay here and be the logistics manager.

When the time comes, the beautiful secretary will be standing in the office; she'll look good even if she doesn't do any work.

Lying next to my beautiful secretary, I can say goodbye to manual transmissions forever.

Hsu Feng: "Didn't you get married? Why are you still driving a manual transmission car?"

Huang Sen immediately showed a smug look on his face: "There's nothing I can do, the people in our Huang family are all fierce, my wife can't handle it."

Sometimes I really wish I could wash my feet more often like you!

Xu Feng immediately rolled his eyes, turned around and left: "Get lost, I recorded everything you said."

He pointed to the tactical watch on his wrist.

"Hey! You can't do this kind of partying!"
Brother, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously! Grandpa! Godfather! !

Huang Sen panicked and quickly caught up with Xu Feng, begging for mercy.

During the day, Xu Feng was still teasing Huang Sen.

As a result, he encountered an embarrassing situation that evening.

Two surviving women from the shantytown dressed up specially and came to the door.

They claimed they wanted to speak with XCMG privately.

After Xu Feng met them, the two explained their purpose: they wanted Xu Feng to take care of them and give them some easy work.

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng naturally smiled and said, "Work assignments are not my responsibility."

You'll have to talk to Engineer Chen about this; I really can't offer any advice.

Besides, the work assigned to women is generally not very heavy; everyone is treated fairly.

“XCMG misunderstood us. The ‘care’ we meant was that kind of ‘care’.”

One of the women, who was quite charming, said in a low voice with a blush on her face.

Xu Feng: "."

The other woman was much more direct: "Xu Gong, don't you remember us?"

When you were at Mingyue Pavilion, you often requested our services.

"What is Mingyue Pavilion?" Xu Feng was stunned for a moment, unable to recall.

"It's where we used to wash feet—"

Before the woman could finish speaking, Xu Feng's expression turned speechless.

Good guy.

Are you here to expose my dark past?

It turns out I met the masseuse at a foot massage parlor.

Their survival skills are truly impressive; they're still alive. "I'm sorry, even if we had known each other before, there's nothing I can do, because this matter is really not my responsibility."

Xu Feng said apologetically.

Upon hearing Xu Feng's words, the woman immediately retorted with a mocking expression, "Oh dear, Mr. Xu, stop pretending."

I heard that your wife is now a powerful warrior at Wuhan University.

Aren't you afraid we'll tell her about your embarrassing history of washing feet?

"It's just a favor, why make it so awkward? Please be lenient."

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng immediately laughed.

threaten me?
Oops.

These people are really pragmatic.

No wonder the ancients often said that prostitutes are heartless and actors are unrighteous.

This isn't entirely prejudice.

These people were previously grateful for their act of sharing the meat.

Now he's using his past scandals to threaten himself?
"Oh, go ahead and say it, I don't mind. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Xu Feng chuckled lightly and turned to leave without any hesitation.

The two women were stunned on the spot.

Only after Xu Feng had walked far away did the two leave with grim expressions.

What Xu Feng didn't expect was...

This overseas assignment, which was originally scheduled to last for one month, was extended by another half month.

Because there are still many areas in the rebuilt communication system that have not been cleared.

The construction of new base stations also requires engineers with sufficient expertise to oversee the work.

And there are even more communication facilities that need maintenance.

Fortunately, the logistics department staff were able to rotate, so Huang Sen went back and took over from Li Suifeng to take over Xiao Dan.

Xiao Dan wouldn't be left without anyone to care for her.

Although it is the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the cold is getting deeper and deeper.

Ordinary people in the team began to suffer from frostbite and die from it.

Due to food shortages, the mutated creatures began to become restless.

Even in the coldest of times, a mutated beast-general-level creature, driven by hunger, risked attacking the rebuilding team, resulting in the death of one of the generals.

This forced the entire reconstruction effort to be halted for three days for rest and "biological cleaning."

This time, almost half of the entire guard team was mobilized.

All mutated creatures within a 20-kilometer radius were subjected to a "grave for every one found" policy.

Several underground caves and mine shafts were in particular targeted for cleaning.

Together, they killed three mutated beast generals and hundreds of beast soldiers.

This significantly increased the winter food reserves for the entire reconstruction force.

January has passed in the blink of an eye, and the reconstruction work is progressing steadily with initial results.

The climate has finally begun to warm up.

Xu Feng and Lu Fei were also able to turn back and return to Base Nine.

Before leaving, Xu Feng took Liu Yu to the military repair department, and they returned to the base together.

As for the future, we'll see if we can help her find a job in the military repair department, at least away from the complex and dangerous environment of Base 21.

Liu Yu was naturally extremely grateful, but her gaze towards Xu Feng occasionally flashed with regret and bitterness.

However, Xu Feng saw this but didn't say anything.

Lu Fei, on the other hand, often secretly laughed at others about this, which made Xu Feng quite embarrassed.

That woman is really fierce; she's not jealous at all.

Once we arrived at the base, the plane landed.

The moment Xiao Dan saw her parents at the airport, she burst into tears, clinging to Xu Feng's neck and refusing to let go.

Xu Feng could only smile wryly and carry her home.

"You're such a grown-up now, only in sixth grade. You'll be a big girl soon, so you can't act like that."

Xu Feng said to Xiao Dan with a smile.

Xiao Dan immediately spouted nonsense: "That's your daughter, what business is it of anyone else's!"

After speaking, she quickly stuck out her tongue: "Hehe."

"Heh," Xu Feng rolled his eyes at her, "Looks like you've had a great time these past two months while we were gone? You swear so easily."

Lu Fei smiled slightly: "How's the Body Refining Fist going? How much Qi and Blood have you reached?"
Have you been working hard on your studies lately? Come and tell your parents about your recent learning progress.

Let's see if you can truly be independent during these two months away from home.

"what--"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Dan immediately let out a wail.

The joy of her parents' return was immediately overshadowed by her sorrow and guilt.

It seems that having one's homework checked is a very painful experience for all children.

That night, lying in bed, Xu Feng finally calculated his income and expenses for the period of time.

"The meat of that female salamander sold for a total of 1.2 million, and I only received 2400 million."

"Fish roe isn't worth much, and there's no way to calculate it, but the reward for the capture mission is 1000 million, which is pretty good."

"After deducting the 652 million yuan loan for one month, plus one month's salary and the bonus for this field mission."

Oh right, and there's also the profit from the beast-general level creatures killed during this field mission.

I still have about 4300 million left. Not bad. After deducting the funds needed for cultivation, this money should be enough to pay off my martial arts loan for half a year.

Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the bed and said to Lu Fei, "I can relax and cultivate for the next six months."

"Then you're still happy, but I can't be."

The talent selection competition is coming soon, and I still have to participate in this year's competition.

So we need to intensify our training and prepare for the competition. Xiao Dan, you'll have to take good care of us.

"Genius Battle? What's that?" Xu Feng asked, puzzled.

"That's right, it's a selection competition specifically prepared for young martial artists like us who are training or living in the dimensional world."

The winner can return to Earth to participate in the grand summer battle.

The competition was of a very high level, and the prizes were very generous. It was also a task assigned by the academy, so there was no other way.

Xu Feng had only heard of this kind of competition before, but had never watched one.

It must be very lively.

It's roughly the same feeling as watching a boxing match or a concert.

Xu Feng asked curiously, "What are the benefits of winning the championship?"

"To earn the title of the greatest genius of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Lu Fei immediately covered her mouth and laughed, "Do you think this is a novel or a movie? Of course, there are benefits to being the champion, but it's not just about the title."

The top three winners will be eligible to join the Global Elite Martial Arts Training Camp.

At that time, you can directly receive guidance from experts who surpass the level of War Gods.

Enjoying absolutely top-tier cultivation resources and environment, this is a training camp specifically designed to cultivate war gods for humanity.

"Holy crap!" Xu Feng sat up abruptly. "That's amazing?"

"So what do you think?" Lu Fei chuckled. "But getting into the top three is extremely difficult."

The Great Xia Dynasty was already populous, with geniuses as numerous as stars and powerful figures as many as clouds.

The difficulty of securing a top-three finish among these geniuses is unimaginable.

"Your goal is to be in the top few?" Xu Feng asked with concern.

"Me? I should at least get into the top three in the qualifying rounds, right?"
Only in this way will they be qualified to go back and participate in the finals.

As for their ranking in the finals?
I think getting into the top three is out of the question, but I should be able to get into the top ten.

"That's good too," Xu Feng said with a smile.

However, Lu Fei sighed slightly: "If you can get into the top three, who would want to get into the top ten?"
The War God Training Camp isn't called that for nothing.

That's the dream of every martial artist under the age of thirty worldwide.

Xu Feng grasped her hand earnestly: "I have absolute confidence in you."

However, Lu Fei smiled and said, "It's difficult. The Genius Battle is not about cultivation level, but about combat strength."

There was no room for shortcuts; it had to be done through real, hard work.

Fortunately, it is said that this year's competition will use consciousness projection instead of real-life deathmatches as before.

This would greatly reduce the mortality and injury rates.

However, this also increased the difficulty of the competition, since everyone was fearless and it was purely a contest of practical combat skills.

"But if their cultivation levels are different, how can they compete in terms of strength?" Xu Feng asked, puzzled.

Lu Fei explained with a smile, "In the past, we suppressed our strength by wearing weighted suits."

After switching to consciousness projection, everyone's physical attributes will be the same in the projected world.

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng immediately became interested.

He actually knew very little about the legitimate martial arts world.

His daily work and loan sharking were already overwhelming, so he had no time to learn about these things.

But now, after hearing Lu Fei mention it, Xu Feng still really wants to go watch the game.

It's going to be very lively and exciting.
