Chapter 171 What Constitutes a Grand gesture? (Bonus chapter for monthly votes)

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and quickly hid around Xu Feng.

Xu Feng then released his mental energy, which faintly formed a mental energy field with a range of only a hundred meters, enveloping everyone.

Within the force field, everyone's expressions brightened, and their emotions returned to normal.

But what followed was horror.

"What the hell is this ability?!"

"Such widespread mind control?!"

"Holy crap, how did these people from the Extinction of Hearts Cult manage to do that?"

While everyone was discussing the matter with fear and apprehension.

Wang Leng suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Shut up!"

Swish!
The scene immediately fell silent.

Wang Leng said in a calm voice, "It's just some cult tactics, what are you shouting about?"
With Mr. Xu around, we are naturally not afraid of their mental attacks.

Now! Everyone! Immediately move together in a circular formation with Mr. Xu at the center.

"Approach the nearest unit!"

"Yes!"

With a command from Wang Leng.

The crowd instantly and orderly surrounded Xu Feng, forming a circular formation that encircled him.

Wang Leng looked at Xu Feng: "How long can we hold out? We need to go save people."

Xu Feng smiled slightly: "Don't worry, one more day is no problem."

Wang Leng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, let's go!"

immediately.

The group abandoned everything they had at the scene and quickly left the residential area, heading towards the nearest team's location.

Once the group rushed out of the residential area, they had only traveled a few hundred meters along the street.

Dozens of military fighters were fighting each other.

Once Wang Leng and his team approached, influenced by Xu Feng's mental power, they stopped what they were doing and looked blankly at their comrades.

"Quickly move towards us! Everyone! Bring your wounded comrades and move towards us!!"

With Wang Leng's loud shout, everyone finally reacted and scrambled towards Xu Feng.

After walking forward for about 1 kilometer, he attracted more than 300 martial artists to surround Xu Feng.

The entire group grew larger and larger, looking like a dark, dense mass.

Xu Feng asked, puzzled, "What exactly is this thing? How can it cause such widespread mental manipulation?"

Wang Leng took a deep breath and said solemnly, "It is probably a relic of some ancient civilization."

I am increasingly suspecting that these cultists have found some ancient ruins.

Whether it's the sudden appearance of so many powerful warriors or the widespread use of spiritual weapons.

None of these are things their technology can control.

Xu Feng then voiced his own question: "I'm actually very curious why, with the power of the Great Xia government, they haven't been able to eradicate the Extinction Heart Sect after all these years?"

Wang Leng shook his head: "Do you think they are just a simple cult?"

No, the current situation in the dimensional realm is tense, and the various forces are, to put it nicely, united to develop the dimensional realm.

But do you really think there's nothing unsavory about it behind the scenes? The Extinction Heart Cult must have foreign support behind it.

Furthermore, our intelligence department even suspects they have dealings and connections with some alien races from the dimensional realm.

Xu Feng sighed: "That does sound like a tough opponent."

However, Wang Leng said with great confidence, "They are just some clowns who have exhausted their strength. Don't worry."

At that moment, another group of martial artists were fighting each other on the street ahead.

It has even come to the point of armed combat.

Wang Leng watched as one of the warriors, dressed in military green combat uniforms, was constantly tearing apart the team members who were entangled together.

He immediately laughed gleefully, "Oh! Isn't this Captain Dongfang? You're here to mediate this fight."

Dongfang Xu, seeing the group of martial artists surrounding Xu Feng beside Wang Leng, immediately became furious: "Stop talking nonsense and come help!!"

Wang sneered at Xu Feng: "Let's go!"

Once the mental energy field enveloped everyone, Dongfang Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief and helped his teammates up one by one.

Until then.

The nearly thirty team members around him finally came to their senses and, looking guilty, joined the team.

Dongfang Xu coldly looked at his subordinates: "Damn, this mental attack is quite powerful."

Huh? They all act all high and mighty during training.

And what was the result? Look at your cowardly behavior!
Apart from Zhuang Lang and Li Yi, everyone else will undergo a month of grueling training after we get back!
I will train each and every one of you until you are no longer afraid of being mentally manipulated!
With such a weak will, you still dare to call yourselves soldiers? You're a disgrace to our military and police force!

Dongfang Xu's angry shouts echoed through the empty streets.

He watched as everyone stood there, heads bowed, puzzled and silent.

The other three hundred or so military warriors around Xu Feng also lowered their heads in shame.

Although Dongfang Xu was scolding his teammates, his words were also a warning to them.

This kind of widespread mental manipulation is actually not very strong; as long as one's will is strong enough, one can resist it.

The strength of one's will is not necessarily related to one's strength.

Of these three hundred people, at least fifty resisted the mental manipulation on their own and did not show any signs of rage.

Many of them were even high-ranking warriors.

However, this little incident passed quickly.

The group followed Xu Feng closely and advanced to the core area of ​​the battle.

soon,

Another battle broke out there.

However, the battle ended quickly, apparently because the war gods discovered another wave of hidden enemies while they were finishing off the enemy.

but.

A massive mental force, radiating across a radius of one kilometer, swept through.

Everyone felt their minds clear and freed from the control of the mental manipulation.

"Whoa! A War God-level Nen Master has made a move!"

Wang Leng exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Feng was also shocked.

That immense spiritual power was many times greater than his.

It was like dark clouds obscuring the sun, making one feel suffocated.

Compared to the other party, my mental strength is like that of a child.

The opponent was a colossal giant weighing 300 pounds and standing two meters tall.

The mental energy seemed to pause slightly when it swept over Xu Feng.

As if sensing the other party's surprise, Xu Feng quickly greeted him respectfully through their mental energy.

I received a casual, indifferent response.

When everyone arrived at the core battlefield.

Only then did they see several figures sitting on a section of broken wall in the middle of the battlefield.

Everyone was covered in blood and looked disheveled, but they all had smiles on their faces.

Xu Feng turned his head and scanned the area; almost all the buildings within a radius of several kilometers had disappeared.

The site was transformed into a ruin, resembling a demolition zone, filled with broken bricks and rubble.

Captains like Wang Leng quickly ran towards the core of the battlefield.

Soon after, they received orders from those war gods to lead their teams to clean up the battlefield and provide shelter for the wounded and the dead.

Less than half an hour later, a roaring sound came from the sky.

Several transport helicopters kicked up clouds of dust, bringing with them a large number of logistics troops to begin clearing the battlefield.

Xu Feng, along with some experts hired by the army, was arranged to stay at a temporary command post nearby, awaiting the distribution of rewards for this operation.

After calling Lu Fei and the others to let them know they were safe, Xu Feng began to look forward to it.

It stands to reason.

I contributed significantly to this battle, along with my previous actions.
I wonder what kind of reward the No. 1 base military region will give me?
Some S-class combat suit parts?
Or is he still wearing a complete S-class combat suit?

That night.

Xu Feng was led by Wang Leng to a small kitchen belonging to the officers to get his meal.

The food was plentiful; it felt more like a professional chef cooking for us than a temporary encampment.

Stir-fried mutton with sand onions, stewed beef bones, pan-fried pork chops, and stewed beef with potatoes.

There were also some rather bland stir-fried vegetables.

However, these mutton and beef bones are not just ordinary livestock.

It must also be a mutated creature, or at least have the strength of a beast soldier.

"Just have a simple meal," Wang said to Xu Feng with a cold smile.

Xu Feng licked his lips, looking at the bowl after bowl of delicious food, and thought it was extravagant: "This is already quite remarkable."

After dinner, Xu Feng went to bed early.

Silent all night.

The next morning.

The sun was shining brightly, and the temperature was beginning to rise gradually.

Plants and trees sprouted new buds.

Even though he was surrounded by ruins, Xu Feng still felt the warmth of spring and the vitality of life when he stepped out of the tent.

He stretched, like an old farmer waiting for the harvest in autumn.

Waiting for the military to reward him.

the other side.

Huang Sen kept sending him messages, reporting on the situation of the match.

Lu Fei ultimately didn't get a chance to play yesterday afternoon.

Several battles dragged on for quite a while, so Lu Fei's match schedule was moved to this morning.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng became a little anxious.

If time allows, he still wants to see Lu Fei compete in person.

soon.

Wang Leng then walked towards him with one other person.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Xu Feng's heart stirred, and he immediately became expectant.

"Have you had breakfast?" Wang Leng asked with a smile as soon as they met.

Xu Feng waved his hand, knowing full well what it was about, but still suppressing his excitement: "Not yet, and who is this?"

Wang said with a sneer, "Let me introduce you. This is Old Zhao from the Quartermaster Department. He's here on behalf of Military Region No. 1 to distribute your reward."

After saying this, Xu Feng and "Old Zhao" exchanged pleasantries, shook hands, and the three of them went into the tent.

As soon as they sat down in the tent, Wang Leng said to the two of them, "I know your wife had a competition this morning, so let's finish this quickly."

"Hurry up and finish this so you can go back and watch the game."

Old Zhao, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "It's just a simple procedure, it'll be over soon."

After saying that, he placed a black suitcase-like supply box, which was only half a cubic meter in size, on the ground next to him.

He pulled a thin tablet from his pocket, looked up at Xu Feng and smiled, saying, "Mr. Xu, I'm going to ask you a few questions to confirm some things."

A general answer is fine; it doesn't need to be too precise.

“Okay,” Xu Feng rubbed his hands together, glanced at the box, and said with a smile, “Go ahead and ask.”

"You are in the venue."

Indeed, it was just a few simple questions. After Xu Feng answered them truthfully one by one, Old Zhao smiled and pushed the box in front of Xu Feng.

He then stood up and said, "Alright, that concludes my task. Everything is in the box. I hope you are satisfied."

These items are quite valuable. If you don't have a suitable way to take them away, we can also send a vehicle to escort them.

"You can discuss the details with Staff Officer Wang. I'll be going now."

Xu Feng quickly got up to see him off.

Wang Leng, on the other hand, sat there leisurely. After Xu Feng returned, he smiled and said, "Take the things back and look at them. Don't rush. Take the box with you."

This box is worth quite a bit of money; it can withstand attacks from high-level beast generals without breaking.

Xu Feng chuckled and put it away, then patted Wang Leng on the shoulder: "Then please tell Dongfang Xu that I'm leaving now."

Wang sneered, "We'll meet in the dimensional world later."

Xu Feng smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner later."

After this battle, his relationship with Wang Leng improved considerably.

If we were just casual acquaintances before, and we helped each other only because of our social circles.

From today onwards, the two can basically be considered friends.

After all, the camaraderie forged through life and death is probably the strongest of all the bonds men form.

In less than an hour, Xu Feng returned to the field.

The atmosphere at the event was still enthusiastic.

The battle on the field has also reached a fever pitch.

As soon as Xu Feng entered the arena, he saw a familiar figure exchanging blows with another martial artist.

The two fought in a very disheveled manner.

The weapons were all lost somewhere.

On a cliff, they fought like the most primal wild beasts.

The two used almost every part of their bodies to attack each other.

However, because their strengths were too similar, the battle was extremely fierce, and it was difficult to determine a winner.

If we're talking about the most visually appealing fighting competitions in the world, then female fighters are definitely one of them.

Both of them were exceptionally beautiful and had excellent figures; one of them was Lu Fei, and the other was—

Xu Feng glanced at the data board on the field.

The woman was from the National Defense University, and her name was Ji Qiushui.

As the two fought to the death, the sounds of battle grew stronger with each passing moment.

But soon.

Suddenly, the battle was decided.

The two, who were fighting fiercely, separated as soon as they touched each other.

Lu Fei suddenly shifted her stance, turned around, and used a stealth step to circle behind the unsuspecting Ji Qiushui.

Then, as if a snake were coiling around her, it locked her up until Ji Qiushui was completely lifeless.

Xu Feng immediately raised his arms and shouted, "Good!"

"Oh oh oh!!"

A burst of loud cheers erupted on the field.

ten minutes later.

Spectator room.

Lu Fei, who had just entered the room, immediately saw Xu Feng.

He immediately walked over with a smile: "You're back? Are you alright?"

Before Xu Feng could even go up and give her a hug, Xiao Dan dashed over to her and jumped onto Lu Fei's body.

"Mom, you're so cool!!"

Lu Fei caught her and said with a smile, "You won by luck, but I guess this is where you'll stop this year."

"New talents emerge in every generation; that Ji Qiushui is a full three years younger than me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Dan quickly jumped off Lu Fei's lap: "Mom, don't be discouraged! You're very strong! Dad, please comfort me!"

Xu Feng smiled and went up to hug her, gently patting Lu Fei's back: "It's okay, congratulations, keep up the good work."

I looked at Ji Qiushui's information, and it seems that she is quite good at close-quarters combat.

She's a fighting genius in this area; forcing you to discard your weapon and engage in close combat with her early on is a sign you've fallen for her trick.

In a hand-to-hand combat with weapons, she is absolutely no match for you.

Li Suifeng, who was standing nearby, quickly added, "My brother-in-law and I share the same opinion."

Huang Sen quickly added, "Me too."

Lu Fei nodded and smiled, saying, "Alright, everyone, you don't need to comfort me. I know the situation very well."

At this point, she looked at Xu Feng as if she didn't care at all: "Is everything alright on your end?"

"No, I just went to do some minor stunts. There are experts backing up the team; even the God of War has been mobilized."

Xu Feng smiled and briefly explained the situation, but repeatedly emphasized to everyone not to leak the information.

However, since everyone present was one of their own, they all nodded in agreement.

After the morning's matches concluded, Lu Fei's next match will be the following day.

So the two decided to go back and rest for a while.

Huang Sen originally wanted to stay and watch the rest of the show.

But after thinking about Xu Feng's words, he decided that it would be safer to go with Xu Feng.

As for Li Suifeng, he stayed on the field.

This guy kept saying that if any cult members appeared, he would definitely step in to help them.

Xu Feng and the others were too lazy to pay attention to him, and they didn't need to worry about his strength.

After a simple meal, everyone returned to the hotel.

As soon as he entered, Xu Feng took out the huge supply box.

"What is this?" Xiao Dan immediately looked at the scene with curiosity. She was already used to Xu Feng's ability to take things out of thin air.

"Of course, it's your dad's spoils and other people's rewards. If you're not interested, go to sleep."

Lu Fei waved her hand and said.

Upon hearing that it was equipment again, Xiao Dan immediately got up, bored, and jumped onto the bed to play on her tablet.

"Since she came back, this girl has been playing on her tablet and surfing the internet all the time. I hope she won't get addicted."

Xu Feng glanced at Xiao Dan with concern.

"Ha, she knows everything perfectly well, no need to worry about her."

He played with other children at school and secretly studied at home at night.

"Hmph, that girl is cunning."

Xu Feng smiled and said, "Then let's see how generous Military Region No. 1 is."

After saying that, he gently opened the lock on the supply box.

"Card—"

As Xu Feng opened the box, a complete black combat suit came into view.

"It's actually a complete S-class Divine Prison series!"

Xu Feng touched the comfortable material in shock and swallowed hard.

Even Lu Fei stared wide-eyed at Xu Feng, raising an eyebrow: "What have you been doing?"

This is a complete combat suit worth 51 billion!
51 billion! !

"Hehe," Xu Feng chuckled smugly, "I only killed a few dozen people, and incidentally used my mental power to control the field and dispel the mental bewitching from everyone."

He had absolutely no need to hide anything from his wife.

Just tell the truth.

Lu Fei couldn't help but say enviously, "You really lucked out."

"Hey, I already have a combat vest. I'll just take this extra one to Jingxi and deal with it."

I estimate I can get a women's dress for about the same price as the original.

Now you have your combat vest too.

Lu Fei reached out and hugged his neck, giving him a gentle kiss: "Then I must thank my husband properly."

"Is that all the thanks you're giving me?" Xu Feng chuckled slyly, only to be gently pinched by Lu Fei.

Xu Feng stuck out his tongue, almost forgetting that Xiao Dan was also there.

This little burden!

After taking out the combat uniform and putting it aside, Xu Feng discovered that there were other things in the box.

One dose of medicine, one fruit.

"What's this?" Xu Feng picked up the instruction manual and tossed the fruit to Lu Fei.

After reading it, the two of them gasped in unison.

"You go first," Xu Feng said, looking at Lu Fei.

"This fruit is called the Spirit Refining Fruit. After hearing this name, can you guess what its effects are?"

"Refining Spirit? Could this fruit be related to spiritual power?"

Xu Feng exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, this is a spiritual fruit discovered in ancient ruins."

Ancient civilizations used it to enhance the mental power of 'mental masters'. Only 'mental masters' could consume it to strengthen their mental power.

If an ordinary person eats this, it could cause a brain hemorrhage at best, and a stroke at worst. Only you can eat this stuff.

Lu Fei said with a smile.

Xu Feng exclaimed in shock, "There's such a thing? Isn't this the same as the potion that Little Fatty researched?!"

“No, no,” Lu Fei shook her head and said, “They are fundamentally different, and Little Fatty’s medicine is more applicable and can be used by ordinary people.”

This fruit, in essence, does not directly increase the total amount of mental power, but rather relies on a certain hallucinogenic ability to temper the mental power of a mentalist.

This causes a qualitative change, thereby stimulating the brain to unleash its potential and drawing out more mental power.

Lu Fei sighed slightly: "Speaking of which, there are actually quite a few good things left behind in the ancient ruins."

However, most of them were occupied by foreign races within their territories.

"If we want to acquire it, we have to fight. I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking."

Xu Feng thought for a moment and could only recall a word he had heard before: "This is a kind of 'trial'. In this way, ordinary martial artists still have the opportunity to exchange military merits for these resources."

But if these resources were truly available at will without any cost, ordinary martial artists would likely never have access to them again.

Lu Fei immediately nodded and said, "That makes sense. Okay, let's not talk about that. Where's your potion?"

Xu Feng smiled and said, "Grade A Dragon Blood Potion."

It is said to be made from the essence collected from dragon blood fruit found in ancient ruins.

There are two in total, one for each of us. I wonder how effective they are compared to the real dragon blood fruit we usually eat.

Lu Fei waved her hand: "It's definitely not as good. We're eating whole dragon blood fruits. One fruit can buy several doses of this medicine."

This potion only uses a portion of its essence, so its effects should be far less potent.

Xu Feng smiled and handed her one: "One for each of you!"

Lu Fei smiled and put it away: "Okay! You drink first, I'll talk about it after the competition."

Xu Feng grabbed the pale green fruit, which resembled a Korla pear, and said, "Then I'll eat this Thought Fruit first."

Lu Fei put the box away and said, "You eat it, and I'll protect you. The instructions say that there will be some side effects after taking this fruit."

You may encounter some dangers in the illusion, so please be sure to control yourself.

"it is good."

Xu Feng flipped his hand to put away his combat uniform, washed the fruit, ate it all in two bites, and then lay down on the bed.

After a while.

Xu Feng suddenly felt his head begin to feel heavy, and his body began to sink.

He felt as if he were falling from the clouds, experiencing a sense of weightlessness.

soon.

Xu Feng suddenly felt a surge of clarity in his mind. When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing on a busy street.

This appears to be Base 9.

"Roar!!"

next moment.

With a roar of a beast, the city wall at the end of the long street was suddenly smashed open by a huge creature.

A tidal wave of mutated creatures surged into the city, beginning an indiscriminate massacre.

Not far away, Xiao Dan ran towards him in terror: "Dad!! Help!!!"

"grass!"

Xu Feng's eyes widened in fury, and in a flash, he transformed into a blur and charged straight at the horde of beasts!

Thirty minutes later.

hotel room.

"Mom, is Dad alright? He looks like he's been poisoned."

Xiao Dan leaned over Xu Feng, who was covered in sweat, and asked worriedly.

Lu Fei held Xu Feng's hand tightly to prevent him from moving around and hurting himself: "Your dad is probably trapped in some kind of illusion. He'll be fine once the effects of the fruit medicine wear off."

This is a necessary step in tempering one's mental strength; there's no need to be alarmed.

Xiao Dan nodded: "Oh! I'll go get some hot water for Dad to wipe his sweat!"

He then jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom.

After Xiao Dan left, a look of worry flashed across Lu Fei's face: "Old Xu, you have to hold on."

"puff!!"

A spray of blood splattered onto Xu Feng, almost completely covering him in blood.

Xiao Dan clung tightly to his back, holding him tightly and not daring to let go.

"Don't be afraid! Dad's here!!"

Xu Feng's battle sword was already chipped from its blade, and he had almost used up all the throwing knives on his body, making them difficult to retrieve.

The streets around him were piled high with the corpses of mutated creatures.

But he leaned against a city wall, protecting Xiao Dan tightly behind him.

"Dad! Put me down and run away by yourself!!"

Xiao Dan cried out loudly.

However, Xu Feng remained silent throughout, only continuing to swing his knife.

As long as he lives, none of these things will be able to get even a step closer to his daughter!

boom!
a moment.

A muscular figure suddenly leaped from the pack of beasts and slammed into Xu Feng.

Suddenly, exhausted Xu Feng had no time to dodge.

He could only turn around abruptly, cross his arms, and shield Xiao Dan behind him.

boom!
With a terrifying impact, Xu Feng's arms twisted violently, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and was sent flying backward with a thud.

Buzzing! Buzzing! Buzzing!
After flying a hundred meters, Xu Feng suddenly stomped his foot, creating several deep pits, before abruptly stopping his retreat.

"Xiao Dan, are you alright?" He stared intently at the Crimson Flame Tiger and quickly asked the person behind him.

But there was no sound behind him.

Xu Feng froze, rooted to the spot.

He trembled as he touched his back, only to find blurry flesh and a limp body.

The terrifying force of over ten tons just now, even through his body, would have been enough to kill the child.

Xu Feng felt as if his whole body was on fire.

My brain is burning.

The blood and qi are burning.

Everything is burning!!!

Anger and murderous intent instantly filled his mind and body.

"Ahhhh!!!"

With a frenzied roar, Xu Feng burst forth, crashing violently into the horde of beasts!

"Die! Die! Die! Die!"

Swish!
The moment I opened my eyes.

Two lines of clear tears slid down Xu Feng's cheeks.

"husband!"

"dad!"

He smiled when he heard those two genuinely concerned voices.

Laughing, he embraced the two of them, and Xu Feng burst into tears again.

"Alright, alright, it's all in the past."

Soon, Lu Fei hugged him and Xiao Dan in her arms, comforting them with words of comfort.

She didn't ask Xu Feng what he experienced in the illusion.

But upon closer reflection, it must have been something that caused immense heartbreak.

Refine your spirit, refine your spirit.

The word "refinement" alone is enough to illustrate its difficulty and pain.

It took Xu Feng a full five minutes to calm down.

After calming down, he smiled somewhat awkwardly.

just now.

His emotions were like a floodgate that had been opened; they were completely out of control.

A feeling of collapse naturally arises.

After things calmed down, I realized that I was indeed a little embarrassed by my behavior.

"What happened?" Lu Fei finally asked.

After a moment's thought, Xu Feng calmly recounted the general events that occurred in the "illusion."

He omitted many details.

Lu Fei said thoughtfully, "It seems that this illusion is depicting the scene that you fear most and are most afraid of.

In this way, facing your inner demons head-on will temper your will and make it even stronger, just like being hammered by a thousand demons.

Have you noticed any changes?

Xu Feng released a small amount of his mental energy to sense it, and then opened his eyes in surprise: "So powerful!"

Immediately, he summoned six throwing knives.

Xu Feng hid Xiao Dan and Lu Fei in the porch and then tried to control them.

The throwing knife shot out and then gently flew back.

The whole process was easy and stress-free!
He roughly sensed it and found that the strength of his mental power seemed to have greatly increased.

The total volume has also increased.

He didn't know the exact amount.

But at least in terms of mental strength, it has increased by at least 50%!
Even higher!

In other words, if he were to unleash his full mental power, his attack on the punching bag would have an impact force of about 8 tons.

So now, it must be at least 12 tons!
At the same time, the area covered by his mental energy also expanded by nearly twenty or thirty meters.

Roughly calculated, it can cover a range of 150 meters around it.

Without a doubt, the speed of escape would also increase.

However, the exact extent of the improvement remains unknown.

But this is only the effect of one fruit!

If only one more fruit like this came.
Xu Feng couldn't help but swallow.

But she was also afraid that if the illusion from before really came back again, she might not be able to handle it.

However, these worries were quickly dispelled by his joy.

"I really want to find a martial arts room to test my mental strength."

"Forget it, it's not safe here. Let's test it again when we get back to base."

Xu Feng rubbed his hands together, put away the throwing knife, and smiled broadly.

This trip was a huge success.

That single fruit, along with an S-class combat suit, was enough to increase his net worth dozens of times over.

Although this trip delayed my cultivation time.

However, it saves a lot of effort in terms of overall consideration.

Resources, equipment, and connections.

These are all intangible resources.

One cannot attain this through a lifetime of solitary, solitary practice alone.

So overall, this trip was a great success.

If Lu Fei can achieve some good results in this competition, her family will definitely have a lot of joy.

but.

Things in life can't always go as planned.

In the second round, when the top 100 were narrowed down to the top 50, Lu Fei lost decisively and without any surprise.

Because of her bad luck, her opponent was drawn by Yue Changkong, the champion of the talent selection competition.

It's just different from the previous utter defeat with no resistance.

This time.

Lu Fei fought Yue Changkong for at least thirty moves before being defeated by a single spear thrust.

Of course, this does not mean that Yue Changkong has become weaker.

Instead, Lu Fei has become stronger.

After the competition, Lu Fei showed no signs of frustration; on the contrary, she was radiant.

"You're still so happy after losing? You're the only one who can pull a poop like a scorpion."

While eating, Huang Sen complained in bewilderment.

"Although I lost the game, I can see that my strength has improved, and by leaps and bounds."

Yue Changkong is even more talented than me, but his strength hasn't changed much in such a short time.

I used to only last three moves against him, but now I can last thirty. Isn't that something to be happy about?

Lu Fei said with a smile.

Xu Feng smiled and nodded, giving a thumbs up: "That's right, if you're going to compete, compete with yourself."

There's no end to comparing yourself to others; there will always be outstanding individuals emerging.

“But what about the spots for the training camp?” Li Suifeng said with some regret.

Lu Fei casually waved her hand: "It wouldn't have been my turn anyway. Only the top ten in the competition are eligible to participate in the training camp."

I did some calculations, and I think I was lucky to even make it into the top 50.

The opponents that followed were increasingly formidable, so encountering Yue Changkong early was a relief for me.

She let out a long sigh and leaned back in her chair: "Finally, the competition is over. I don't have to worry about not being able to sleep at night anymore."

Are you guys still watching the rest of the games? I'm not really interested anymore; I'd rather go wander around.

Huang Sen seemed to lose interest for a moment.

After all, if his friends weren't participating in the competition, and it was just a simple fighting match, he wouldn't be very interested.

"What about you, wife?" Huang Sen turned to look at Chen Ning.

"Didn't Little Fatty say he's getting married soon? Let's go visit him! I haven't met your friend yet."

Chen Ning suddenly said with some excitement.

Xu Feng nodded in agreement: "That's a good idea."

"Huh? I still wanted to watch the game." Li Suifeng said dejectedly upon hearing this.

Lu Fei slapped him on the back: "You're all right now. There's no need for you to come with us. We can just meet at the dimensional entrance in a few days."

Li Suifeng nodded: "Okay, it's settled then. We'll go back together."

After agreeing on the terms, everyone quickly ate their meal and then returned to the hotel to go their separate ways.

Before leaving, Huang Sen sent a message to Little Fatty Wang Long to confirm his location.

After receiving a definite reply, the group headed towards Chencang Base City, which was 1300 kilometers away from Base City No. 1.

The research institute where Xiao Pang works is hidden in the mountains near this base.

For Xu Feng to meet Little Fatty Wang Long, he not only had to go through layers of vetting, but also needed an official to vouch for him.

Xu Feng originally wanted Li Tianlang to act as guarantor, but he didn't expect to find this after arriving at the base.

But the head of the research institute told him...

It turns out that Xu Feng himself was qualified to be the guarantor.

Protect yourself?
He was both amused and exasperated. What kind of operation was this?
The person in charge smiled and said, "It's not just because of your status as a meritorious martial artist."

Furthermore, when we reported this matter, news also came from the No. 1 Military Region Base.

Someone in the military high command personally gave you the green light, which is why this matter was resolved so quickly.

Otherwise, the entire process would take at least three days.

Xu Feng then realized what was happening.

Although the identity verification and authorization were completed, the person in charge still whispered to Xu Feng:

"In any case, Wang Long's identity and information about our base are highly confidential."

If it weren't for your special status, and the fact that you have connections in high-ranking military officials who give you preferential treatment...

It might not be so easy for you to see him.

Therefore, please keep this a secret.

Not only you, but also those around you will be your responsibility.

This concerns Wang Long's life safety, so please be extremely careful.

Those lurking enemies have never given up their pursuit of him.

Xu Feng took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand."

After several twists and turns, the group finally met Wang Long, whose appearance had changed drastically, in a restaurant at the base.

He had lost a lot of weight and looked much more energetic.

Her messy hair was cut into a rather flowing short style.

He looks like a college student, having returned to the appearance that someone his age should have.

Tian Yuyu remained the same as before, holding a book and quietly reading it from the side.

When people spoke to her, she would respond with a smile.

When no one spoke, she continued reading.

Xiao Dan was the happiest of all.

Upon seeing Wang Long, he rushed over and put his arm around him as if they were old friends meeting.

After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, everyone finally gathered around the dining table.

Wang Long excitedly said to the group, "We originally planned to get our marriage certificate tomorrow, but since you're all here today, we have to let you be our witnesses!"

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Wasn't the date already chosen?" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow.

Wang Long chuckled: "That's not important. Getting the marriage certificate in front of good friends is the most important thing!"

Huang Sen grinned and said, "You're pretty quick, kid! I thought you'd still be single by the time we have a baby."

I can't believe you won over Oda so quickly! How did you do it? Tell us about it!

Listening to Wang Long's animated recounting of his subsequent experiences.

Xu Feng rested her chin on her hand and looked at him, a smile involuntarily appearing on her face.

very nice.

He likes the feeling that his friends are all doing well.

After the group had dinner, Wang Long led everyone to stay at the base's hotel.

Afterwards, everyone rushed to the marriage registration office at the base.

With everyone present as witnesses, he and Tian Yuyu obtained their marriage certificate.

The group rushed to the restaurant again for a celebratory dinner, which lasted until midnight before they returned to their hotel to rest.

Lying in bed that night, Xiao Dan was exhausted and went to sleep early.

Only Xu Feng and Lu Fei lay in bed, occasionally exchanging a few words.

I waited until two days later.

The group then reluctantly said goodbye.

Wang Long once again sneakily called Xu Feng aside.

"Did you take the psychiatric medication I gave you before?"

He looked at Xu Feng and asked with concern.

"I used it, and the effect is very good!" Xu Feng said honestly with a smile.

Wang Long grinned: "That's good, then all my hard work wasn't in vain."

Then, he took something out of his pocket and stuffed it into Xu Feng's hand.

"What is this?" Xu Feng didn't dare to look at it for long and put it into his spatial ring.

Wang Long looked at him in surprise: "A spatial ring?"

"You know?" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow.

Wang Long smiled and nodded: "Yes, I've learned a lot recently. It's a gift for Xiao Dan's junior high school entrance exam."

We probably won't see her much in the next few years. I hope she's doing well.

Xu Feng asked in surprise, "You still remember what grade she was in?"

Wang Long chuckled, a naive smile appearing on his face: "I've always remembered."

I don't have many friends. Besides you and Lao Huang, Xiao Dan is probably my best friend.

Xu Feng patted his shoulder and asked worriedly, "These things shouldn't be given away casually, right?"
The previous one was fine, but this one...

Wang Long said in a low voice, "This is a special one I made for Xiao Dan. It can be used even if you are a minor. It's different from the one you had before."

I still have some authority; I can say something within the research institute.

Xu Feng remained silent for a long time before putting his arm around Wang Long's shoulder and saying, "Thanks."
