Hongning Base City, headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

This is a giant spaceship that is 10,000 meters long and 100 meters high. It has a huge hatch that is tens of meters wide, and a large number of soldiers are stationed outside the hatch, making it very heavily guarded.

This wasn't Luo Shen's first time here, so he knew the way very well.

Amid the respectful gazes of the guards, a beam of blue light shot out from the spaceship and enveloped the two men.

"drop!"

"Mr. Luo Shen, student Luo Feng, please come in!"

An electronic voice sounded.

The hatch opened, revealing a bright passageway inside. Two men and women dressed in blue robes stood on either side, wearing standard smiles and bowing slightly: "Please follow us, gentlemen."

Luo Shen nodded.

After signaling Luo Feng to follow, he stepped directly into the cabin passage.

The massive hatchway, tens of meters wide, was entirely silver-white. Led by two men and women in blue robes, the two passed directly through the hatchway and walked along the inner corridor.

"Ah Shen, why does this spaceship building look like a real spaceship to me?"

Luo Feng asked in a low voice.

They had a feeling about it when they were outside. Both the material and the structure were extremely similar to the interstellar mothership they saw outside the No. 12 ancient civilization ruins. They were exactly the same.

Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, Luo Shen laughed and said, "Your feeling is correct; this is indeed a real spaceship."

Luo Feng looked at Luo Shen with some surprise.

Only after receiving another nod of confirmation from the other party did he dare to believe that the building in front of him was indeed a spaceship hull. No wonder it is called the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall!

In fact, this is almost an open secret.

All the forces around the world are well aware that the headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy was built on this interstellar transport ship, which is why Hongning Base City has prospered in this region.

of course.

Although it's an open secret, you really don't have the right to know these things unless you have a certain status or position.

"Oh, right." Luo Feng suddenly remembered the purpose of their trip and asked, "Could the headmaster have asked us about Li Yao? Will something bad happen?"

Luo Shen smiled and shook his head, saying, "What's the big deal about Li Yao's little matter? He's probably just doing it for Kirishima."

After all, the battle at Kirishima was quite a big deal.

As they spoke, led by the man and woman in blue robes, the group arrived at the door of a quiet room. The man and woman in blue robes bowed slightly to the two of them and then turned to leave.

"Come in since you're here," Hong's slightly cold voice rang out.

The two exchanged a glance.

I pushed open the door and walked in.

Inside was a reception room, empty and pitch black. Hong sat cross-legged on a cushion, his indifferent gaze sweeping across the room, an invisible aura rising up, making it impossible for anyone to have the slightest thought of resistance.

This is the power of the world's strongest!

"Chief, there's no need to give us a hard time right from the start."

Luo Shen's voice suddenly rang out.

To Luo Feng's surprise, the previously dim room suddenly became brighter. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that a dividing line between light and darkness had appeared a few meters in front of Luo Shen.

He could clearly feel the two forces colliding with each other.

He murmured to himself, "Is this the power of the domain that Babata spoke of?"

Luo Feng had already learned from Babata that the only two super strong people on Earth who possessed a domain were Hong and Luo Shen, and Luo Shen was the first super prodigy Babata had ever seen who possessed a domain at the apprentice level!

However, before truly witnessing the power of a domain, he simply couldn't imagine what a domain was.

Until now.

"So Ah Shen has become this powerful?" Luo Feng looked at Luo Shen's back in front of him, his shoulders so steady that they seemed to be able to support the entire world!

"Looks like I need to work harder too!"

If he was somewhat reluctant to possess the Golden Horned Beast at first, after witnessing the clash between Luo Shen and Hong's domains, his reluctance had completely disappeared.

Only by possessing the Golden Horned Beast.

Only then will he have a chance to catch up with, or even surpass, Luo Shen!

Luo Shen, who was in the midst of a domain battle, felt the oppressive force coming from all directions and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "As expected of the number one person on Earth, his control over domain power is much stronger than mine."

In just a brief confrontation, he was clearly at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, sensing Luo Shen's condition, Hong voluntarily withdrew some of his power, and the two of them withdrew their domains together, restoring the room to normal.

"sit."

Hong Yao pointed to the two cushions in front of him.

Luo Shen plopped down on the cushion without any regard for his image, panting heavily. Large beads of sweat rolled down his face. The battle of domains had just taken a huge toll on his primal energy and spirit.

He flipped his right hand over.

A wooden crystal fell into my palm.

The Five Hearts Vortex instantly activated, directly transforming into pure life energy that continuously flowed into Luo Shen's body, causing the slightly depleted miniature planet in his dantian to rapidly burst forth with new vitality.

"This is... Kisaya Akira!?"

Hong's gaze was drawn to the wooden crystal in Luo Shen's hand, and he couldn't help but look Luo Shen up and down.

It is important to know that the Muya Crystal has a wide range of uses. Whether it is used to raise plant life, battle beasts, or for cultivation, the effects are quite good. It can be considered a treasure even in the vast universe.

Although Luo Shen was absorbing Mu Ya Jing, he was also keeping Hong's movements in check.

Whether it was the domain confrontation just now or the current revelation of Muya Crystal, it was all done on his own initiative.

There are two objectives.

First, they're showing off their muscles; second, they're flaunting their wealth.

As the world's strongest and richest man, Hong possesses many treasures, such as gravity chambers, prehistoric-level intelligent fighter jets, the Sky Shuttle, and spaceship repair tools needed to repair the Black Dragon spaceship.

How can we get these things from Hong?

The only way to exchange it is with a treasure.

For Hong, the Wood Crystal, a treasure with a wide range of uses and the ability to assist in cultivation, is definitely the most useful and urgently needed item for him at present.

The efficiency with which Earthlings absorb cosmic energy is too low.

In the decades since the Great Nirvana, Hong Cai has barely managed to reach the sixth level of the Planetary Star realm, and advancing to the Eternal Star realm seems a distant prospect. Therefore, he needs Mu Ya Jing's help.

With Mu Yajing's help, Luo Shen quickly recovered.

Under Hong's intense gaze, Luo Shen flipped his wrist and put Mu Yajing back into his storage space equipment.

"It seems you've had quite a haul on the Australian continent," Hong said.

The fact that Li Yao took the laser cannon to Australia that day naturally did not escape the notice of the Extreme Martial Arts School. However, the people sent by Hong did not confiscate the laser cannon, but only captured James.

From James, we learned about Luo Shen's battle with a purple-black vine that resembled Moyun Vine, his slashing of a laser cannon, and his killing of Li Yao and his wife, but he did not mention Mu Yajing.

Therefore, Hong had no idea how Luo Shen obtained the wooden crystal.

He's saying this now to get the conversation going.

Luo Shen smiled and said, "I was just lucky. If I hadn't fought that Moyun Vine, I wouldn't have been able to discover the ancient civilization ruins, and naturally I wouldn't have been able to find the Muya Crystal hidden inside."

"You're lucky," Hong nodded.

The Earth itself does not contain wood crystals; they can only be found in the ruins of ancient civilizations.

He had explored the Australian continent before, but he did not find the ancient civilization ruins that Luo Shen mentioned. He guessed that it was some kind of deeply hidden ruin.

"Looks like I'll have to make another trip to the Australian continent," Hong thought.

Suddenly, Luo Shen laughed and said, "I don't need this much by myself. I'd like to use it to exchange for some treasures in the hands of the Grand Master. I wonder if the Grand Master would be interested in taking them?"

Who is Hong?

Naturally, he could see through Luo Shen's intentions at a glance.

But he did need the Wood Crystal, so he didn't point it out. Instead, he asked, "I do have quite a few things here. What do you need?"

With a wave of his hand.

Suddenly, a three-dimensional virtual projection appeared in the empty reception room, showing a dense array of projections, with prices immediately appearing next to them, the unit being stars.

Luo Shen glanced at it.

The other party has brought out all their hidden treasures: the Sky Shuttle, the Gravity Chamber, the Tier 1 Force Battle Blade, and various items excavated from ancient civilization ruins, all listed in the inventory.

1 Wood Crystal = 20 Stars.

A Tier 1 Force Blade only requires 10 stars, the Sky Shuttle only requires 30 stars, the ancient civilization gravity chamber only requires 90 stars, ordinary cosmic repair tools only require a total of 3 stars, and two King-level intelligent fighters require 4 stars, etc.

After exchanging them all, I only paid 7 Wood Crystals!

This is an absolute steal!
