Chapter 12: Luo Feng and Kirishima
August 1st, early morning.
All the trainees of this year's elite training camp gathered on the grass in front of the Nine-Story Building, each fully armed, chatting in small groups. They were about to face their first real-world trial since enrolling—a life-or-death adventure.
Suddenly, a sonic boom rang out in the sky, and then a blurry triangular shadow appeared above the elite training camp.
It was a blood-red triangular fighter jet!
All the trainees immediately stood up straight.
They involuntarily looked up and saw a blood-red fighter jet hovering a hundred meters in the air. The hatch opened, and a figure slowly descended from it. He did not use any flight equipment; he simply stepped into the void and walked down step by step.
He wore a simple black training uniform, his face calm, his short, neat haircut making him appear at first glance like a spear piercing the sky. As Hong drew closer, the trainees in the elite training camp were horrified to discover that the light in the entire sky seemed to have been absorbed by the man before them, leaving only blackness and no light at all.
"Very good, it seems there are some promising talents among this batch of newcomers."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone noticed that the endless darkness had vanished and the world was bright again.
Standing in the crowd, Luo Feng looked up at this legendary figure at such close range for the first time. The pressure emanating from him made the elite training camp students, including the war god-level instructors, completely unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance, as if the man before them was an unapproachable god.
This is Hong, the Supreme Chairman of the Earth Alliance, the founder of the Ultimate Martial Arts School, and the world's strongest man.
Hong's gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Luo Feng in the crowd.
A barely perceptible smile curved Hong's lips as he looked at Luo Feng as if examining a rough gem.
"You're Luo Feng? Impressive mental power."
These words caused an uproar in the room.
All eyes immediately turned to Luo Feng.
Luo Feng felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if he had been struck by lightning.
His biggest secret, his identity as a mentalist, was just... revealed to him in public by Hong?
Just as Luo Feng was in a state of utter confusion, Hong had already shifted his gaze away.
"Remember, on the battlefield, what will keep you alive is not your ranking or your background, but only the sword in your hand and your heart that dares to fight to the death. Go, prove your worth with the blood of monsters."
Hong's speech was brief, and after he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The oppressive force that had made everyone breathless also vanished.
The entire square fell silent, and everyone looked at Luo Feng, who was still standing there in a daze, with complicated expressions.
"Luo Feng, the master has summoned you for a private audience."
The voice of Chief Instructor Wang Yu rang in Luo Feng's ears, pulling him back from his shock.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Luo Feng followed Wang Yu into a lounge with a feeling of trepidation.
Hong Zheng stood with his back to the door, in front of the window, looking at the distant sky.
"The...master of the museum."
Luo Feng spoke nervously.
"Don't be nervous, sit down."
Hong turned around, pointed to the sofa next to him, and spoke in a friendly tone.
"Did I scare you by revealing your secret today?"
"No...no," Luo Feng said, but he was even more nervous inside.
Hong smiled but didn't expose him.
"I know everything about you. Including your grudge with that Li Yao."
Luo Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he abruptly stood up from the sofa, his entire body tense.
"Li Yao's nickname is 'The Vulture,' and his wife, Vinina Bolenas, is a core member of the Bolenas family, which is very influential in Europe. This couple has been plotting to kill you to avenge their son."
Hong's tone remained calm.
"That Li Yao passed the trial of the ruins and obtained a set of 'Black God Set'. That thing can basically negate attacks below the planetary level. With your current strength, even if you use all your trump cards, you probably can't even break through his defense, right?"
Luo Feng's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth, unable to utter a single word.
He had never heard of this information before. He only knew that Li Yao and his wife hated him to the core, but he never expected that they already possessed such terrifying equipment.
The Black God Set... that means he has almost no chance of fighting back against his opponent.
"You feel desperate and resentful, right?"
Hong looked at his expression and slowly spoke.
"Today I've exposed your identity as a psychic, so when you go to the Australian continent, that vulture will definitely hunt you down at all costs."
"Master, you..." Luo Feng suddenly looked up, staring at Hong with a puzzled expression.
He didn't understand why Hong would send him to his death if he knew everything.
"The strong are not raised in greenhouses. After consuming dragon blood and combining it with your mental power, the trial on the Australian continent will pose almost no threat to you, thus defeating the purpose of the trial."
Hong walked up to Luo Feng, patted him on the shoulder, and a gentle energy instantly flowed through Luo Feng's body, calming his chaotic blood and qi.
"This hunt is both a crisis and an opportunity for you. An opportunity for you to truly transform. I have high hopes for you."
"So go ahead and do it. No one will interfere with anything you do on the Australian continent."
He paused for a moment and then said something.
"And your family, from this moment on, will be under my direct protection, completely safe. This is my promise to you."
The transport plane roared into the skies over the Australian continent.
"The hunt begins!"
At the head instructor's command, all the trainees leaped from the sky, rushing to their respective battlefields like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Feng activated his mental power the moment he left the cabin, adjusted his direction, and flew alone into the depths of the wilderness, far from the main force.
He hovered high in the sky, his powerful mental energy radiating outwards without reservation, covering an area several kilometers below.
On the ground, no movement, no matter how small, can escape his perception.
"Seven hundred meters to the left front, three high-level beast soldier-class armored bulls; at three o'clock, a low-level beast general-class tiger mastiff... Very well, today I'll start with you."
The throwing knife transformed into a streak of light as it swooped down, precisely slicing through the throats of the monsters.
Blood gushed out, and the monsters collapsed to the ground before they could even utter a mournful cry.
On the points watch, the numbers began to jump rapidly.
In just half a day, Luo Feng's points skyrocketed, leaving everyone in the training camp far behind and firmly holding the top spot.
Meanwhile, in a fighter jet over the South Australian continent, an elite squad of four warriors was surrounding a man dressed in black combat uniforms with a sinister look in his eyes.
It was Li Yao.
"We've located that kid's signal using the communication watch; it's on the South Australian mainland."
One of the team members looked at the detection signal on his wristwatch and reported to the leader.
A cruel sneer curled at the corner of Li Yao's mouth.
"So what if he's a psychic? Compared to the Black God Suit and the laser cannon, he's just a grasshopper jumping around a bit more. I'm going to personally crush every bone in his body, piece by piece."
Luo Feng quickly discovered Vulture and his group's whereabouts. He launched a surprise attack on the Vulture squad, taking advantage of their underestimation of him to kill two of their War God-level experts, but he also suffered serious injuries. The throwing knife he launched with all his might struck the leader, "Vulture," but only grazed the man's black battle suit, leaving not even a white mark.
"Damn it, besides the Black God Set, there's also a laser cannon?"
Luo Feng hid in a cave, bandaging the wound on his arm, his face extremely solemn.
"We can't continue to be so passive."
Luo Feng took a deep breath, glanced at the map, and fixed his gaze on a nearby river. He knew that water could refract lasers, and that his flight speed was faster than Li Yao's.
Luo Feng turned off his communication watch to avoid being located and flew along the river, with Li Yao in hot pursuit behind him.
Following the river, he arrived at an island shrouded in thick fog.
Then, he plunged headlong into the thick fog.
Just as Luo Feng's figure disappeared from the misty island, in the top-floor office of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy's global headquarters.
Hong Zheng stared at the huge monitoring screen in front of him. On the screen, a green dot representing Luo Feng slowly disappeared into the danger zone marked in blood red.
A playful smile appeared on his lips as he muttered to himself.
"So it's finally come to this...?"
"However, I've already subdued the Demon Cloud Vine, and I've even taken the spirits of plants and trees and the Wood Sprout Crystal. Will you have the chance to obtain the spirits of plants and trees again this time, Luo Feng?"
