Gou Zai Gaowu Shijie Cheng Shen

Chapter 246 Brother Xu! I am not as good as you!
Her gaze fell on Xu Feng, and she looked him up and down, her eyes revealing a sense of appreciation and concern.

Then she looked at Xiao Dan and said, "Good girl, come here quickly."

Xu Feng hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully bowed: "Hello, Master's wife! You are so beautiful, Master's wife."

"I have been a disciple for so long without having the opportunity to pay my respects, and I am deeply ashamed. Please forgive me, Master's Wife."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out the blue blood bead that he had prepared for a long time: "This is a gift that Xiaofei and I prepared for you."

It's said that playing with it regularly can help women maintain their youth; just treat it as a toy.

The master's wife looked at the precious pearl in Xu Feng's hand in surprise: "Blue Blood Pearl!"

She turned to look at Li Yuanying: "Is it that legendary pearl that can make people advance in rank out of thin air?"

Li Yuanying smiled and nodded slightly: "It's just a legend, but it does grant eternal youth."

He glanced at Xu Feng, thinking of that mysterious being: "It might actually be true."

The teacher's wife laughed heartily: "Hahaha, good boy, good boy."

Don't talk about feeling ashamed or not, we're all family, so the master's wife accepted it.

"By the way, I heard from Lao Li that you did a great job at the ruins. Tell me more about it."

Xu Feng nodded and began to recount his experiences in the ruins in detail.

The teacher's wife listened attentively, occasionally asking questions.

She is quick-witted and can rapidly analyze and judge various situations.

"The appearance of these eerie creatures is indeed a big problem, and we must develop a strategy to deal with them as soon as possible."

"My teacher's wife said with a frown."

"Xu Feng, the intelligence you provided is invaluable and has important guiding significance for our subsequent operations."

Xu Feng humbly replied, "You flatter me, Master's wife. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."

"If I can contribute to the safety of Great Xia, it would be my greatest honor."

The teacher's wife nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, responsible. By the way, little girl, call me Grandma?"

At this moment, Xiao Dan peeked out from behind Xu Feng and sweetly called out, "Hello, Grandma! My name is Xu Xiao Dan. I'm so happy to see you! You're even more beautiful than I imagined!!"

The teacher's wife was amused by Xiao Dan's adorable appearance, and went over to pat her head: "Oh, this little mouth is so sweet. Come, your teacher's grandmother has prepared a gift for you."

As she spoke, the teacher's wife picked up a delicate little box from the table next to her and handed it to Xiao Dan.

Xiao Dan's eyes lit up as she took the box: "Thank you, Grandma! You're so beautiful, just like a heroine in a movie!"

The teacher's wife burst into laughter: "This little girl really knows how to make people happy."

"Alright, you all sit here for a bit, I have some things to take care of."

After speaking, the master's wife turned around and returned to the command platform to continue directing her subordinates in intelligence gathering and analysis.

Xu Feng watched his master's wife's busy figure and felt a secret admiration in his heart.

I never expected that my master, who is so easygoing, would find such a decisive and efficient wife.

After a while, Di Ruyan finished what she was doing and came over:
"Come on, I'll take you to a place to rest. You must be tired from the journey, so take a good rest first."

Xu Feng quickly said, "Master's wife, you're too kind. We're not tired."

"You're so busy, it's really kind of you to take care of us."

The master's wife waved her hand: "Don't mention the trouble. You are my disciples and family, it's only right that I take care of you."

Come, come with me.

Soon, led by the master's wife, they arrived at a quiet villa located two kilometers behind the command post.

The rooms here are decorated in a warm and comfortable style, making them look like the master's wife's own residence.

"You can rest here. This is my place. Feel free to wander around."

I've had a big dinner prepared tonight so our family can have a good get-together.

"My teacher's wife said with a smile."

Xu Feng and Lu Fei said gratefully, "Thank you, Master's wife, for your trouble."

The teacher's wife patted them on the shoulder: "We're all family, don't be so polite."

Okay, you guys rest first, I still have some things to take care of.

After saying that, the master's wife gave her master a brief hug and then hurriedly left.

Watching his teacher's wife's departing figure, Xu Feng sighed, "My teacher's wife is truly an amazing person. She's efficient and decisive when it comes to work, leaving no room for ambiguity."

Lu Fei nodded in agreement: "Yes."

Li Yuanying sat on the sofa and grumbled, "Heh, you guys didn't consider my feelings at all."

Xu Feng chuckled: "I wonder what your master's wife is busy with right now?"

Li Yuanying laughed and said, "I thought you knew. The day for military exercises and exchanges between the various bases is coming soon."

Every two years at this time, various military bases in the dimensional world organize a joint exercise between the two cities.

今年就是C区9号基地和B区2、3、4、5号基地的五城交流。

Your brothers should be coming over in a few days too.

"Oh right, right!" Xu Feng slapped his forehead. "Li Tianlang did tell me about this, but that was a long time ago."

"I don't need to participate in this military exercise, do I?" Xu Feng asked his master.

Li Yuanying just smiled and said, "It's up to you. But if you can get good results in the annual military exercises, the reward is no less than the reward for being in the top three in the middle of summer."

"Hiss—" Xu Feng immediately gasped, "Master, you're tempting me."

Lu Fei chuckled softly, "Go ahead. News of your apprenticeship will likely spread, so you can't let your master down no matter what."

"It's not that I'd lose face. I'm so old, I don't care about such a little bit of empty fame."

Like I just said, it's up to you whether you participate or not.

Xu Feng hesitated only slightly before smiling and saying, "Alright, then this disciple will definitely strive to win first place for Master!"

Li Yuanying laughed and clicked his tongue: "Wow, what a boastful tone! I'll have to take a closer look."

Xu Feng took a deep breath.

The pressure is building.

This is the first time since I semi-publicly became a disciple that I will appear in public as a "disciple of a powerful figure who surpasses the God of War".

We absolutely cannot lose face!
"I'm going into seclusion for a while, Master. Where is a good place to cultivate?"

Xu Feng struck his fists and palms together and asked.

Li Yuanying immediately laughed: "Sharpening your spear at the last minute?"

Just go to the basement and walk out along this path.

But there's no rush. You should take your wife and kids to the base first.

"After your teacher's wife finishes her work and we've had dinner, you can do whatever you want."

"Okay!" He turned to look at Lu Fei and said with a smile, "Then let's go."

Base B-3

An office somewhere.

Xu Nian was looking down as she organized the documents at hand.

Suddenly, a woman in high heels strode in.

The woman had a stunning figure; even in a military uniform, her ample bosom was impossible to conceal.

"May--"

"Don't you even know how to knock?" Xu Nian raised an eyebrow.

The woman then retreated with a helpless expression, turned around and knocked on the door, saying, "Colonel Xu, may I come in?"

"Go in." Xu Nian then chuckled and nodded.

"Second brother, you've gone a bit too far," Xiao Wei said with a frown.

Xu Nian asked with amusement, "Rules still need to be followed. So, what is it?"

Xiao Wei then smiled and said, "Your grandmaster has arrived."

Swish!
Xu Nian immediately stood up in surprise: "Master has arrived?! Quickly, come with me to pay my respects."

"Me too?" Xiao Wei asked in surprise.

Xu Nian immediately put down what she was holding and urged Xiao Wei, "Let's go, let's go together."

My master hasn't taken on any disciples yet. Let me take you to see if there's a chance!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wei immediately waved her hand and said, "Then there's no need to go. Your master is here with his disciple this time."

Not only the apprentice, but also his wife and daughter—the whole family.

Xu Nian immediately frowned: "You've taken on a disciple?"

He pondered for a moment, his face full of doubt: "My master's requirements for accepting disciples are very strict. I haven't heard of any geniuses in the Great Xia Dynasty becoming his disciples recently."

Even Yue Changkong of the Yue family has not yet taken a master and is still learning on his own.

The other geniuses from the War God Training Camp also each found their own mentors.

He paused for a moment, then said, "Let's not worry about that for now, let's go and see for ourselves, let's go!"

Xiao Wei raised an eyebrow and said, "Fine, let's go see what kind of person could catch your master's eye."

After leaving the villa, Xu Feng obtained temporary credentials and then took Lu Fei and Xiao Dan for a stroll around the base.

Base B3 and Base C9 have very different styles, both exhibiting the serious demeanor typical of military bases.

The entire base covers a vast area, and the streets are filled with hurried pedestrians, all of whom are either martial artists or soldiers.

The towering city walls all around are adorned with a dazzling array of advanced weapons and equipment.

Along the way, you can see open training grounds from time to time.

Many martial artists dressed in plain clothes are conducting high-intensity training here.

They moved with lightning speed, their punches and kicks swift and powerful.

Each attack was accompanied by a powerful surge of energy, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

Many small martial arts arenas even attracted cheers and shouts from onlookers.

Xu Feng and his family watched a fight.

Although it was just a duel between warrior-level martial artists, it was quite exciting.

Although the various fighting techniques are not secret methods, they are extremely practical.

Xiao Dan looked around curiously, her eyes sparkling with excitement:
"Dad, this place is amazing! Those uncles and aunties are all so strong!"

Xu Feng smiled and patted Xiao Dan's head: "Of course, this is one of the important military bases of the Great Xia Dynasty, where many powerful martial artists gather."

Lu Fei said softly, "Xu Feng, I feel that the atmosphere here is very different from that of Base Nine."

Xu Feng nodded: "That's right. As the largest base at the junction of the Qinling Mountains and the Wumeng Mountains, Area B bears a heavy responsibility."

They must defend against mutated creatures and alien races from two regions at the same time, and cannot let their guard down at any moment.

Moreover, the military exercises and exchanges between the various bases are just around the corner, and everyone is eager to participate.

"That's right, I overlooked the geographical location."

Lu Fei nodded.

After strolling around for a while, the three of them headed back.

As soon as they entered the living room, they saw two young people sitting there.

As soon as they met, they began to sized each other up.

"Hello, my name is Xu Feng, may I ask your name?"

In the end, it was Xu Feng who took the initiative to greet them.

"Xu Feng? Xu Feng, the meritorious martial artist from Base Nine?" Xu Nian suddenly froze and asked in surprise.

Xu Feng smiled slightly: "That's right, I didn't expect you to have heard of me."

Xu Nian quickly stood up, a hint of respect on her face: "It's more than just having heard of it."
In the martial arts circles of Great Xia today, Brother Xu's name is renowned far and wide.

My name is Xu Nian, and this is my cousin, Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze: "You're Xu Feng, the one who captured Zheng Zidan? I've heard you're quite capable; I'd like to have a good lesson with you today."

Before Xu Feng could respond, Xiao Dan interjected, "My dad is amazing! He defeated so many bad guys in the ruins of Guniuzhai Mountain!"

Lu Fei gently tugged at Xiao Dan and said with a smile, "Xiao Dan, don't talk nonsense."

Then he looked at Xu Nian and Xiao Wei: "The child is just being childish, don't take it to heart."

Xu Nian waved her hand: "It's alright, the child is innocent and carefree."

However, Brother Xu, my sister has always been warlike.

Since she has proposed a friendly exchange, I wonder if Brother Xu would do me the honor?

"So it's Brother Xu and Miss Xiao. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Xu Feng responded politely at first, then waved his hand and said, "We're here to visit our master's wife today, so let's skip the sparring."

"It's fine for young people to have fun with it."

Just then, Master and Mistress walked into the villa together, with Mistress Di Ruyan smiling as she spoke.

Xu Feng turned to look at his master.

Li Yuanying shrugged: "Look at you, I support whatever decision you make."

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng was slightly taken aback and pondered to himself.

He was not familiar with these two people.

They suddenly proposed a friendly competition; what is their purpose?
But their eyes were clear, and they seemed to have no ill intentions.

Moreover, he didn't want to lose his composure on his teacher's wife's turf.

So Xu Feng clasped his hands in greeting: "Since Miss Xiao has such an interest, then I, Xu, will gladly oblige."

However, we're just having a friendly exchange; let's stop here.

Xiao Wei's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Great! Then please enlighten me, Brother Xu!"

Xu Nian said with a smile, "It's best to stop here and not hurt feelings."

Dusk is falling.

Led by their master's wife, Xu Feng and his companions were led to a martial arts arena of god-level skill.

Under the metal dome.

Xu Feng and Xiao Wei stood facing each other, each holding a training knife.

However, these knives are all specially made training knives from Base 3, and their weights are clearly divided according to their levels.

It corresponds to the weight of the actual battle knife series.

"please!"

As soon as Xu Feng clasped his hands in greeting, Xiao Wei suddenly leaped up!

"Cut the nonsense!"

The Silver Moon Blade drew a crescent-shaped arc, its blade energy carrying a dark blue electric spark as it slashed straight at Xu Feng's face.

This strike embodies the essence of the fourth level of her S-rank combat technique, "Thunderclap Blade Technique," and its speed is comparable to lightning.

Xu Feng neither dodged nor evaded, but merely raised his sword and sent the opponent flying with a "bang".

Xiao Wei felt a numbness in her wrist, and the short knife almost slipped from her hand.

In a mere clash of strength, Xiao Wei was immediately at a disadvantage!

Xiao Wei's eyes immediately flashed with surprise.

Her swordsmanship's power amplitude is not as good as Xu Feng's!
"Miss Xiao's movements are fast, but her strength is somewhat lacking."

Xu Feng chuckled lightly and said calmly.

Xiao Wei blushed, adjusted her state, and launched another attack.

This time, her swordsmanship was even more ferocious.

Each strike was accompanied by lightning.

However, Xu Feng seemed to handle her swift and fierce attacks with ease.

In the blink of an eye, he easily dodged all the attacks.

“Miss Xiao, your swordsmanship is too hasty and lacks variation.”

Xu Feng dodged while giving pointers.

"If you're so capable, then don't try to hide!" Xiao Wei retorted angrily.

"If I don't dodge, I can't beat you in a fight," Xu Feng chuckled.

"hateful!"

Xiao Wei gritted her teeth and leaped into the air.

He immediately drew a graceful arc in the air, and lightning crackled in his hand.

With a single strike, he unleashed a lightning arc straight towards Xu Feng!
however.

Even a mid-level War God would have to avoid this strike.

Xu Feng simply slashed out with a single, casual strike, and a pure white blade aura directly shattered the lightning arc.

next moment.

The instant Xiao Wei landed.

Xu Feng's figure had already circled around to Xiao Wei's side and behind like a ghost, with the blade pointing directly at the back of Xiao Wei's neck!

Xiao Wei's pupils contracted sharply. Just as she was about to draw her knife to defend herself, she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her neck.

But Xu Feng drew his sword and retreated, his strength perfectly controlled, leaving him bewildered but not mentally injured.

"You..." Xiao Wei was both shocked and furious. She stared at Xu Feng like lightning and suddenly swung her battle sword.

It shot straight at Xu Feng like a bolt of lightning.

The speed of this strike far surpassed that of a mid-level War God.

Even Xu Nian, standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but whisper, "Watch out!"

But Xu Feng simply turned his body and drew his sword to slash down as the battle blade flew towards him.

"boom!"

The moment the lightning dissipated, Xiao Wei's knife hummed and vibrated.

It was firmly planted in the ground of the arena, the hilt of the knife still trembling incessantly.

Xu Nian's pupils suddenly contracted—

Even he might not be able to cut water with such ease.

What alarmed him even more was that Xu Feng treated him like a child the whole time.

Whether it's movement, strength, swordsmanship, or speed, he is a whole level above Xiao Wei.

"You flatter me." Xu Feng chuckled and bowed with clasped hands.

He then turned around, put the training knife back in its holder, and walked off the field.

Xu Nian was speechless with surprise.

He originally thought that even if Xiao Wei couldn't defeat Xu Feng, she could still manage to hold her own against him.

Unexpectedly, Xu Feng so easily forced Xiao Wei to use her desperate move.

Xiao Wei stood there, stunned, her ears turning red.

She always prided herself on being a genius, but today she was easily defeated by Xu Feng.

She didn't even touch a hair on the other person's head, and was even lectured a few times.

Xu Nian walked forward with a stern face and patted Xiao Wei on the shoulder: "Go back and think carefully about what Brother Xu said."

Xiao Wei blushed, shook off Xu Nian's arm, took a few steps back, and said concedingly, "I am indeed far inferior to you, but I will definitely beat you next time we meet!"

Xu Feng smiled and handed the short knife to Xiao Wei, saying, "Miss Xiao, you are quite skilled, but you lack experience. Given time, you will surely achieve great things."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Wei's eyes, and she then pursed her lips.

That's a statement that leaves no room for criticism.

Xu Nian stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting to Xu Feng, and said, "Brother Xu, you truly live up to your reputation. My sister is completely convinced of your defeat."

Meeting you today, Brother Xu, I am truly impressed by your exceptional skills and magnanimous heart.

Xu Feng clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Brother Xu, you're too kind. We're all on the same side."

It's just a friendly exchange, a chance to learn from each other and improve together.

Then, the three of them walked together toward the edge of the field.

Di Ruyan stood up first and said with a smile, "Hahaha, young man, it's a good thing to have a friendly spar."

Although Xiao Wei is exceptionally talented, she is too young and too impulsive.

Xu Feng is quite good, hahaha, Old Li has finally found a disciple he likes.

Li Yuanying, who was standing to the side, simply smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

Xu Feng is such a worry-free disciple.

He only gave the child some pointers a few times, but the child had been working hard in secret all along.

Each time they met, his swordsmanship would inevitably improve, which pleased him greatly.

After all, what teacher wouldn't want their disciple to be diligent and outstanding?
"Since everyone is here today, please give me the honor of being the host."

Xu Nian said with a smile, clearly not unfamiliar with Li Yuanying.

Xiao Wei, standing to the side, was holding Di Ruyan's arm, appearing quite intimate.

"Alright, if Xiao Xu wants to treat us, then let him come. We can also benefit from his hospitality."

Di Ruyan, with her other arm linked with Lu Fei's, smiled and said.

The group chatted and laughed as they walked toward the restaurant Xu Nian had chosen.

Just like any ordinary pedestrian on the street, there was no special pomp or circumstance.

This made Xu Feng feel very comfortable.

He's probably used to being an ordinary person and really dislikes those privileged practices.

But people are inherently contradictory.

It must be admitted that, at times, privileges are still very useful.

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, how old is Brother Xu this year?"

On the way, Xu Nian asked curiously.

Xu Feng smiled slightly: "You're not young anymore, you're already 42."

"42?" Xiao Wei looked at him in surprise, then said knowingly, "No wonder your swordsmanship is so skillful."

Just then, Li Yuanying, who was walking behind, suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, he has only been practicing this sword technique for a little over a year."

"what?"

"A year?!"

Xu Nian and Xiao Wei looked at Xu Feng in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

Li Yuanying chuckled lightly, quite proudly saying, "It's really nothing. He's a mentalist, though he rarely shows it."

Xu Nian and Xiao Wei both opened their mouths slightly wider.

Xu Feng glanced at his master in surprise. He had never seen his master show off so much before.

But as soon as he saw his teacher's wife's pouting expression, he knew why.

Well, he doesn't understand the romance of an old married couple.

"By the way, his strongest technique is actually throwing knives."

"Throwing knives?!" Xu Nian and Xiao Wei looked completely bewildered.

Are there any techniques for throwing knives?

"Brother Xu! Please!"

"Dry!"

At the dinner table, Xu Nian, her face slightly flushed, raised her glass and said, "Actually, I was a little unconvinced when I heard today that my master had taken on a disciple!"

"But after watching your sparring match with Xiao Wei, I'm completely convinced!"

"Brother Xu! I am not as good as you!"

Everyone: "."

Lu Fei asked Xiao Wei in a low voice, "Mr. Xu has only had two drinks, hasn't he?"

Xiao Wei immediately laughed and said disdainfully, "Him? He's known as a three-cup wonder, a war god, yet he's so weak. He's a complete waste."

Lu Fei covered her mouth and chuckled, glancing at Xu Feng: "Take it easy."

Xu Feng nodded to indicate that he knew his limits, took the wine glass from Xu Nian's hand, and then put his arm around Xu Nian's shoulder and asked, "Don't drink too much as an apology. I have something to ask you."

Xu Nian immediately swayed and said, "Brother Xu, the person I admire most in my life is the strong."

"It was a very pleasant drink with you today, so please feel free to ask!"

Xu Feng then asked with a smile, "I heard that the military exercises between the various bases are about to begin. Which top fighters are you planning to send this year? Are there any particularly outstanding ones?"

Upon hearing this, Di Ruyan immediately laughed, and Li Yuanying, who was standing beside her, also smiled slightly.

Lu Fei glanced awkwardly at Xiao Wei and then lowered her head to eat.

However, to her surprise, Xiao Wei didn't say anything to stop her; she just listened with a smile.

Xu Nian paused briefly, then grinned and rubbed his face as if he had never been drunk: "Brother Xu is joking. This is a secret, how could I just say it casually?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Xiao Wei was the first to slam her hand on the table and stand up angrily, saying, "You, Xu Nian! You were faking it all along when you were drinking!"

Xu Nian chuckled lightly, her expression unchanged, and said, "So what? What does it matter?"

Xu Feng scratched his head.

I feel like I've heard this somewhere before.
