114: Gifts

"A-Yu, long time no see!"

Luo Feng held onto the handrail as he slowly walked down to the first floor.

"Luo Feng, you've gotten a lot sturdier. Have you made significant progress lately?"

The two smiled at each other, and Qiao Yu patted Luo Feng on the back.

Luo Feng rubbed his head and said with a bit of pride.

"Not really, I'm only at the Intermediate Battle General Level. However, I recently received an invitation from the Dojo and am preparing to join the Dojo's Elite Training Camp. My strength should improve even faster in the future."

Qiao Yu nodded. Improving from an ordinary Martial Artist to the Intermediate Battle General Level in just a few months definitely lived up to the title of Genius.

"What about you, A-Yu? How's your strength now? Weren't you reassigned by the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School? They must value you highly over there, right? We've both been busy; when you were here, I wasn't, and when you weren't here, I had just returned. I haven't had a proper chance to talk to you."

Luo Feng punched Qiao Yu's shoulder. Having not seen him for a while, he had experienced much, and his entire Aura had become more steady and sharp.

Qiao Yu shook his head.

"I've been working alone during this period and haven't made much of a contribution to the Dojo. Now, there isn't much news from either the Dojo of Limits or the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School regarding me."

Hearing Qiao Yu say this, Luo Feng asked in confusion.

"A-Yu, are you saying you've been working alone all this time? Could it be that the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School is targeting you? They didn't assign you a squad, nor did they give you resources! Damn it, I'm going to go demand an explanation from them!"

Luo Feng looked aggressive and made a move to stand up.

"Hey! Luo Feng, don't be in such a hurry!"

Qiao Yu quickly stopped Luo Feng.

"It's not that the Dojo won't assign a squad or provide resources; it's just that I feel those aren't very useful to me. With my current strength, I've already started to look down on ordinary resources."

Luo Feng looked at Qiao Yu with a somewhat strange expression. He already looked down on ordinary resources? What did that mean?

"I have already reached the Advanced War God Level, and my Psycher Master Rank has also reached the Peak of the Advanced War God Level!"

Qiao Yu spoke these words calmly, yet they set off a massive wave in Luo Feng's heart.

"War... War God?"

"And an Advanced War God?"

Luo Feng's eyes widened, looking at Qiao Yu as if he were a monster, the words 'War God' repeating in his mouth.

"It's only been a few months, and you've already broken through from a Martial Artist to a War God? A-Yu, what on earth did you go through? Did you sell your Soul to the devil?"

Luo Feng compared himself to Qiao Yu and realized that his smugness from earlier was truly embarrassing.

Although he was still happy for Qiao Yu in his heart, he hadn't expected his attempt at showing off to fail so spectacularly.

"Don't worry, Luo Feng. It's because I encountered some opportunities and consumed a spirit of grass and wood, and then my strength Advanced by leaps and bounds."

Qiao Yu explained to Luo Feng what a spirit of grass and wood was and its effects.

At the same time, he told the Luo family that his Psycher Master talent was Taming monsters, which led to a cooperation with the military. He received a large amount of Advanced resources from them and explained how he had made Breakthroughs in his Secret Manuals over the past few months.

This made Luo Feng incredibly envious. How come such good things didn't happen to him? Envy aside, he was still happy for Qiao Yu.

They were brothers; given Luo Feng's character, there was absolutely no jealousy involved.

Luo Hua, on the other hand, kept nodding from the side. During these past few months, he had focused more of his energy on the financial industry. His strength was still only at the Elementary Warrior level, and he didn't care much for cultivation.

However, learning that a spirit of grass and wood could even allow an ordinary person to directly advance to the Warlord Level, he was shocked and wanted to buy one for everyone in the family to try.

"Brother Yu, how much does that spirit of grass and wood you mentioned cost? I've made quite a bit of money in the financial field recently. Can I buy some?"

Qiao Yu just smiled faintly and said,

"Currently, the value of a spirit of grass and wood is such that there is a price but no market; it's hard to buy even with money. Moreover, once you reach my level, worldly money isn't very useful anymore."

"But I will find an Opportunity to get them for all four of you."

Qiao Yu said with conviction.

"No need, no need, Xiao Yu. The path of a Martial Artist is not easy, you must prioritize yourself. We old bones have no use for such precious things."

Luo Hongguo hurriedly waved his hand in refusal.

"Uncle Luo, we're family. I don't like hearing you talk like that!"

Qiao Yu pulled a long face and said with some annoyance.

Providing help when it's most needed is better than adding flowers to a bouquet—didn't Qiao Yu understand this logic?

Luo Feng hadn't reached his Peak yet. Once he reached his prime, it would be difficult to curry favor with him.

So he had to give them. Once he analyzed the genes of those spirit of grass and wood mother bodies, he should be able to perform mass planting or production.

Luo Father and Luo Mother declined a few more times, but seeing they couldn't sway Qiao Yu, they could only drop it. After all, it was still just a promise for now.

Luo Feng was also somewhat moved because Qiao Yu always kept their Luo family in his heart and truly treated them as family.

Speaking of which, Qiao Yu suddenly thought of something and spoke up.

"I might not be able to bring out the spirit of grass and wood for the time being, but I have a good treasure here, and there's a share for everyone."

Hearing there was something good, Luo Hua quickly leaned in with a curious expression.

"Brother Yu, what good thing? Can it also improve physical fitness?"

Qiao Yu smiled and shook his head as he explained.

"Although it can't improve physical fitness, it can ensure that Uncle Luo, Aunt Lan, you, and Luo Feng can all travel safely in the future."

Seeing that the four members of the Luo family were all hooked, Qiao Yu extended his palm.

"Brother Yu, there's nothing there? Is it the Emperor's New Clothes?"

Luo Hua cracked a joke with a beaming face.

"Look!"

Several thin black lines appeared in Qiao Yu's palm. Those black lines grew deeper along the lines of his palm, began to break through the skin, and finally formed a black bracer-like watch on Qiao Yu's hand.

"Is this a bracer? Or a watch?"

Luo Feng asked curiously.

"This thing is called a black god set!"

Qiao Yu explained.

"black god set? That name is quite imposing. Is it some incredible weapon?"

At this time, Luo Feng had not yet come into contact with the black god set and did not know what use it had.

"This black god set can withstand attack intensity equivalent to a King-level Monster, and it can also reduce any damage by 90%!"

Qiao Yu explained slowly.

Except for Luo Feng, the other three members of the Luo family didn't quite understand the concept of a King-level Monster.

But Luo Feng's heart was shaking violently. Withstanding the attack of a King-level Monster—what kind of concept was that?

As long as he had the black god set, most of his current problems could be solved easily.

"Even if you're hit by a fully loaded semi-truck, it would be equivalent to being hit by a kindergarten kid riding a small tricycle."

With this explanation from Qiao Yu, the other three could understand, and their eyes widened one after another.
