Chapter 10: Baptism of the Heart

“Nine cows and one hair.” Luo Feng nodded slightly, a little saddened.

“No, you won’t understand.” Li Dawei shook his head, “Without truly experiencing the years of life and death struggle, you have no way to understand …… the mood of my generation!”

Luo Feng was stunned.

Li Dawei sighed, “I was born in the best part of my life, the year I was born, it was the 97th Hong Kong handover! My family is not considered rich, but also considered well-off. Growing up carefree, I played online games, watched online novels, every day my parents said a few words to me, I was impatient.”

Luo Feng looked at Li Dawei in surprise ……

Online games, online novels? In this day and age, all the students spend most of their time in the “martial arts center”, becoming a martial artist is the pursuit of the youth.

“Don’t look at me with this kind of eyes, you haven’t experienced that kind of peaceful era, so you can’t imagine it.” Li Dawei revealed a hint of a smile, with a trace of reminiscent color in his eyes, “At that time, we would still chat and fart on the internet forums, we could get together for dinners and go out on excursions, it was really carefree!”

“But-”

“2015! It’s the beginning of January 2015!”

“We fell from heaven to hell in an instant! That year, I was preparing to take the entrance exam …… But, there was no entrance exam!”

“The nightmare descended!”

“The virus spread through the air all over the world, infecting anyone who needed to breathe. One by one, my friends around me died, my girlfriend who I had a crush on, my basketball-playing brothers, my neighbors, and some of my guild brothers from online games, one by one! I was near broken and thought it was a nightmare ……”

“Unfortunately, I later realized that it was just the beginning of the nightmare!”

“In the second half of 2015, the mutated countless monsters launched an attack on the cities where humans gathered! From the sporadic battles at the beginning, to the crazy war later on! We didn’t care about these savage monsters, thinking that they were unbeatable under human fire, but we were wrong!”

“The real disaster began!”

“The cities were overrun and the humans began a great exodus! For nearly six whole years of the Great Escape, I had brushed against death time and time again, and every time I struggled, failure was death, so I had to pull through. From a youth who simply did not experience setbacks, into a ruthless and iron blooded warrior!”

Li Dawei’s voice was low: “These nearly six years, I watched my father die for me!

“I watched my girlfriend, who I fell in love with while fleeing from life and death, die in the mouths of monsters, while only being able to flee through gritted teeth and tears!”

“I practiced hard over and over again, desperately squeezing my body’s ability!”

“Finally, with laser cannons and powerful martial artists, humans formed a confrontation with the monsters on land. Since then, the Great Nirvana period ended. Humanity entered the “Base City Period”. And I, ……, joined the army!”

“In a flash, more than thirty years have passed.”

Li Dawei smiled casually, but Luo Feng felt that there was too much bitterness in that smile.

“For more than thirty years, the war between humans and monsters, although it wasn’t as extensive as the Great Nirvana period, it never stopped.” Li Dawei shook his head, “Do you know, these thirty years, how many people have died in the army under my command alone?”

Luo Feng froze.

“Waves of newcomers have replaced the old …… I can’t even tell you the exact number myself.”

A death notice, sent to their families, they all died for the survival of humanity.” There was a hint of sadness in Li Dawei’s eyes, “However, I was powerless to find out. Every year that the monster communities in the ocean attack, some new monster species will appear, and more powerful monsters will appear.”

“What does that mean?” Li Dawei stared at Luo Feng, “It means that the ocean monsters are getting stronger!”

“I’m scared!”

“I’m scared.” Li Dawei had a hint of tears hidden in his eyes, “Humans can’t take the initiative to attack, monsters can constantly mutate and grow stronger in the ocean. I’m afraid that one day …… humans will perish!”

Luo Feng’s heart shook.

“But for sea monsters to attack humans, they have to pass through rivers and kill inland from the ocean.”

“So-”

“My whole life is about blocking them, never letting them advance a single point easily! The farther away they are blocked, the greater the buffer the base city will have. Ever since I was the commander of the Southeast military region at the time, for a whole 11 years, six months and three days, the sea monsters haven’t been able to advance one more step along the Huangpu River!”

Luo Feng listened with a stirring heart, his heart began to truly respect the elder in front of him!

Because of their dedication, some young people such as himself could grow up peacefully in the base city.

“In this lifetime, I’ll fight these sea monsters!”

“I just want …… my future children and grandchildren to still have a future and hope!” Li Dawei said softly.

There is still a future, there is still hope?

Yes! If the base city is attacked again, will there be any hope for future generations?

“Luo Feng.” Li Dawei gently patted Luo Feng’s shoulder, “Nowadays, in this era, there are only two trump cards that humans can rely on if they want to survive. One is the high tech ‘laser cannon’. One is personal force, powerful martial artists like ‘Hong’.”

“For humanity to survive, one is, to invent weapons that are more powerful than the ‘present day laser cannons’!”

“One is, to appear more overwhelmingly powerful people such as ‘Hong’ and ‘Thor’. Or even to appear, strong people who surpassed ‘Hong’ ‘Thunder God’!”

Li Dawei looked at Luo Feng: “Luo Feng, no one taught me when I was young, I took a fork in the road, and now that I’ve become a medium war god, I’ve already reached the top, there’s no hope of progress.”

“You’re different!”

“You’re not even 20 years old this year …… Luo Feng, an existence beyond a war god, comparable to an army of millions! And the ‘Hong’ ‘Thunder God’ is even more transcendent and powerful.”

“Nowadays, humans are able to survive in the base city, so peacefully. It’s ‘Hong’ who went to negotiate with the countless monsters on land, the ‘king level monsters’. That’s why a ‘Hong’ is more useful than a country’s army. I hope …… you can go that far or higher.”

Eyeing high in the sky, Luo Feng departed in his intelligent fighter, Commander Li Dawei had a complicated expression and murmured in a low voice, “I’m already old. And Luo Feng you …… still have infinite possibilities.”

That war base on the Huangpu river, Li Dawei’s words when he sent Luo Feng away from his years, caused Luo Feng’s heart to set off shocking waves.

In the past, Luo Feng cultivated desperately, Luo Feng is more mainly for the parents, in order to brother can stand up again! Since becoming the “invincible god of war” Luo Feng although still working hard, but in the bottom of his heart, he doesn’t feel much pressure anymore.

The enemy “Li Yao”? I don’t care about him anymore.

Family members? They are doing well.

Money? Money doesn’t mean much to me now.

Power and position? Even the head of the family consortium, the military and official bigwigs, all of them were incredibly enthusiastic.

“Mom and dad.”

Bright moon neighborhood, Luo Feng just walked into his home.

“Back, breakfast is ready for you, Qin mom.” The father who was reading a book shouted.

“Your brother he’s outside running, after his leg got better ah, he likes to run.” Father smiled happily, “Right, Little Feng. When are you planning to get married ah, your mom and I don’t have any other ideas right now, we just want to hold a big grandchild.”

Luo Feng sat at the dining table.

Drinking hot rice porridge, listening to his father s nagging, his heart suddenly felt …… happy. In that war base warriors fought without regard for their lives, while the residents of the base city lived peacefully …… Perhaps, this is the reason why Commander Li Dawei and countless military people fought for their lives.

“Hey, Arwen.”

Sitting on the floor of the martial arts training hall, Luo Feng took his cell phone and laughed, “What, you gave your girlfriend a trip out this summer vacation, you kid is romantic enough, en en, good, but I don’t have time for the recent period of time, at the end of the month I’ll have to go out again! Back to you, uh, that’s it bye bye!”

Luo Feng’s face was full of smiles, Arwen’s days were also good.

Parents days are also living happily, his brother and his girlfriend are even in hot love ……

Luo Feng’s heart recalled Commander Li Dawei’s words – “I just want …… my future children and grandchildren to still have a future, still have hope!”

“There’s still a future, there’s still hope!” Luo Feng muttered, “I also want my mom and dad to enjoy their old age in peace, I also want, my brother to marry and have children in the future, and train his own son to grow up to be a man! I don’t want all of this to be ruined by the monster horde. I want my children and grandchildren to have a future and hope!”

At this moment – Luo Feng’s heart was more determined than ever!

“I also want to, pursue the limits of life and constantly surpass myself! Become a councilor, become a speaker, and even be stronger than them! Constantly surpassing!”

“I also want to, like ‘Hong’, with my own power, shock the land monster community!”

“I also want, my children and grandchildren to still have a future, to still have hope! Luo Feng’s eyes eyes are firm and powerful!”

“Work hard!”

“Forward!”

“Transcend!”

“When I die and close my eyes, I don’t want to, regret my past lack of effort that caused regrets!”

This baptism of the mind made Luo Feng’s beliefs stronger than ever. Throughout the month of September Luo Feng devoted himself to “sword technique”, “body technique”, “physical quality”, “heavenly god atlas” and so on. Cultivation, this kind of devotion, not only do not feel boring, but also feel a kind of joy from the heart.

The transformation of genes in the body is perfected.

The strength of the time and again progress ……

This change in the nature of the body was intoxicating.

Generally forcing oneself to cultivate, the effect was rather less effective. While enjoying cultivating on one’s own and falling in love with this feeling of life essence improving, this instead caused Luo Feng to progress at a staggering rate.

When Luo Feng gave himself a test on the morning of September 29th! Surprisingly …… fist strength reached 258103kg, exceeding 256000kG, formally stepped into the “Higher War God physical quality” layer!

September 29th, more than two o’clock in the afternoon.

Wearing a set of SS grade blood red combat uniform purchased at the best price from the “War God Palace”, carrying a SS grade blood shadow sword on his back. Luo Feng’s entire body was like a crystal clear diamond from the inside out, standing there was like a blade charging into the sky, possessing an endless fighting spirit!

“Mom and dad, this time, my teeth every time the length of time is hard to determine, Luo Hua, I’m not at home, you take care of mom and dad.”

“Got it, brother.”

“Be careful outside as well.” Both parents even instructed.

Luo Feng smiled faintly, then he directly walked towards the intelligent fighter next to him, the hatch of the fighter automatically opened, Luo Feng entered it and the hatch closed.

Whew!

The dark blue triangular warplane quickly rose and flew out of the Jiangnan base city city defense system area before turning into a stream of light and rushing towards the extreme martial arts school global headquarters.
