Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 22 Solo Journey

"Ah Shen, just say what you want to say."

Luo Feng looked at Luo Shen.

Just now, Luo Shen single-handedly defeated Zhang Zehu and the gunman Dongzi, crippling them. He then forced Huya, who was attacking with resentment, to retreat. It can be said that without Luo Shen, it would have been difficult for him and Gao Feng to escape unscathed.

"Luo Shen, do you know the identity of that mixed-race youth?"

Gao Feng also looked at Luo Shen.

Based on Luo Shen's behavior when facing the mixed-race youth, it's clear he knew the other party's identity.

Luo Shen nodded.

Without keeping him in suspense, he revealed all the information he knew: "The mixed-race youth is named Li Wei. He is the only son of Li Yao, the High-Ranking War God, and Vinina, the CEO of the HR Alliance's China Region. The two bodyguards next to him were specially sent by his parents to protect him."

High-ranking War God!

HR Alliance China Regional Executive President!

These two titles are indeed quite intimidating. Even Wei Qing and Wei Tie, who had just shouted the loudest and were ready to fight the Tiger Fang team to the death, have now fallen silent.

Enemies of this caliber are not people that ordinary martial artists like them can afford to provoke.

"So that's why you didn't kill Zhang Zehu and the others earlier?" Gao Feng asked.

He had been wondering why Luo Shen, who had the ability to kill Zhang Zehu and the other two, had kindly let them go. It was clear that he was mindful of Li Wei's identity and did not want to escalate the conflict further.

"That's one reason."

Luo Shen nodded, without denying it.

Li Wei's parents, Vulture Li Yao and Scorpion Vinina, are not people to be trifled with.

There's no need to go up against just two people because of the mere Huya team.

Luo Shen said, "Young people care about their reputation. If I kill them all, they will have no scruples. If a fight breaks out, we may not be able to gain the upper hand."

After all, the opponent has three high-level warriors, unless Luo Feng is willing to reveal his identity as a mentalist.

"Our target isn't Li Wei, it's just the Tiger Tooth Squad."

Luo Feng clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "I've always remembered that Brother Zhang's severed arm was caused by the Tiger Fang Squad. Now that I've encountered such a good opportunity, I'm unwilling to give it up no matter what!"

When he first joined the Firehammer Squad, his closest friends were Chen Gu and Zhang Ke.

Moreover, he always felt that the reason why the Tiger Fang Squad attacked them was because of the grudge between him and Zhang Zehu. He was the one who harmed Zhang Ke, which is why he had such a strong hatred for the Tiger Fang Squad.

"Senior brother, I'll go with you," Luo Shen said.

He didn't want to get involved in the feud between the Firehammer Squad and the Tiger Fang Squad.

However, firstly, he had already offended the other party by crippling three members of the Tiger Fang team, and secondly, the look in Tiger Fang's eyes before leaving made him feel very uncomfortable. Rather than passively waiting for the other party to retaliate, he might as well strike first.

Secondly, Luo Feng and he had a good relationship, so he was willing to help.

Upon hearing this, Chen Gu...

He gritted his teeth and insisted on going along.

But Luo Feng refused them all: "Ah Shen, this has nothing to do with you, you don't need to get involved. As for Brother Chen, you shouldn't go either. I'm more agile on my own, and besides, I'm a mentalist, even if I encounter a war god, I can escape!"

The most powerful thing about psychic masters is that they can fly.

Even if you are a powerful war god, you can only watch from the ground. Once you jump into the air, you will become a live target for a mentalist!

"Let Luo Feng go by himself."

Ultimately, Captain Gao Feng made the decision: "His ability to escape is stronger than all of ours. If he acts alone, the chances of success are higher."

"As for us."

Gao Feng glanced at everyone present. "Let's return to the base city first. Since the Tiger Fang Squad has gotten close to Li Wei, they might have other plans. We can't stay in City 003 any longer."

Everyone was startled; this was not impossible.

To Li Wei, the Fire Hammer Squad was nothing more than a roadside ant, easily crushed.

Moreover, if Huya can really persuade Li Wei, then their continued stay here would be tantamount to putting their lives under someone else's knife and begging for someone else's mercy.

That's absolutely unacceptable.

"Senior brother, please be careful while you're on your own."

Luo Shen leaned closer to Luo Feng, glanced at the other members of the Fire Hammer Squad, and seeing that they were all packing their luggage, he whispered, "If we really have to draw our swords against Li Wei, at worst we'll expose our identities as mentalists, but whatever we do, don't kill Li Wei."

"I know."

Luo Feng nodded and patted Luo Shen on the shoulder.

The belongings were quickly packed up, and under Gao Feng's direction, the group immediately went downstairs and left.

After seeing the Firehammer team off onto the highway, Luo Feng turned back again, and soon his figure disappeared into the vast, densely built-up urban area.

"Let's go." Gao Feng withdrew his gaze.

The group walked on in silence.

After driving along the highway for a while, at a fork in the road, Luo Shen suddenly said, "Captain, you guys go back first."

Gao Feng frowned.

Chen Gu asked, "Ah Shen, do you want to help Luo Feng?"

"My senior brother can handle things on his own, so I won't get involved." Luo Shen shook his head and met the puzzled looks of the others. "The captain should know that in two months at most, I will be going to the global headquarters for special training. I want to try my luck in the elite training camp."

"I know," Gao Feng nodded.

He was indeed aware of this matter. After all, Manager Zhuge had specifically called him about it, asking him to take good care of Luo Shen.

Everyone fell silent.

The Elite Training Camp, also known as the War God Reserve, is a place that every talented martial artist desperately wants to enter.

"In that case, you may go."

Gao Feng patted Luo Shen on the shoulder and encouraged him, "With your strength, as long as you don't provoke any special high-level beast generals or lord-level monsters, you shouldn't have any problem surviving."

Ever since he saw Luo Shen force Tiger Fang back in a few moves, he knew that the Fire Hammer Squad was too small to keep such a big shot.

However, I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

"Ah Shen, don't go too far!" Chen Gu walked up to Luo Shen, punched him on the shoulder, and laughed, "I'm waiting for you to come back and treat me to dinner."

Luo Shen rolled his eyes: "Why does it sound like a life-or-death separation?"

I raised my hand to check the time.

"You should hurry back, I'll be parting ways with you here." Luo Shen pointed to the sign leading to City 023 and said, "I plan to hone my swordsmanship in the desolate city of 023, and I'll be back by the end of February at the latest."

City No. 023.

Before the Great Nirvana Era, SZ City was considered one of the larger wilderness cities in China.

"Then we shall part ways here."

As everyone watched Luo Shen's departing figure, a feeling suddenly arose in their hearts.

That means Luo Shen will no longer join the Fire Hammer Squad.

Just like at the beginning, when all six of them went out together, now that Luo Feng is going to seek revenge on the Tiger Fang Squad and Luo Shen has chosen to hone his skills in other wilderness cities, they have parted ways.

"Let's go too." Gao Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the strange emotions rising in his heart.

I've got a lot going on, so I'll be updating two chapters together tonight.
