Then, he continued to issue a task for guiding Luo Feng.
With such a good reward, and the task being easy, Luo Fan would definitely try to squeeze a little more benefit out of his younger brother.
[Task: Guide Luo Feng in the first level of "Ninefold Thunder Blade", Reward: +1 proficiency in Ninefold Thunder Blade first layer, +3 comprehension]
Hmm?
The reward decreased.
However, this was still much easier than sparring with Luo Feng for four hours.
Luo Fan continued guiding Luo Feng through the first level of the Ninefold Thunder Blade.
But soon, an hour passed.
The system still didn't prompt that the task was completed.
It wasn't until two hours later that the system finally indicated the task was completed.
After receiving the reward, Luo Fan created another task.
[Task: Guide Luo Feng in the first level of "Ninefold Thunder Blade", Reward: +1 proficiency in Ninefold Thunder first layer, +1 comprehension]
This time, it took a full three hours to complete the task.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng had basically mastered all eighteen moves of the first level of the Ninefold Thunder Blade.
Now it was only a matter of time before he had a sudden spark of insight and fully reached 1.4x power output.
The two trained until nightfall, not even eating.
They only consumed some energy bars to replenish their stamina.
After guiding Luo Feng for the third time, Luo Fan looked at him and said:
"Ah Feng, let's spar a bit."
"Mastery of sword techniques still requires actual combat to improve."
Hearing this, Luo Feng agreed without hesitation.
Because of Luo Fan, Luo Feng had become even more driven than in the original story.
The two fought continuously for four hours before stopping.
During that time, Luo Feng also drank some Violet Light Elixir to replenish his stamina.
Meanwhile, Luo Fan completed another task.
Without hesitation, he created a new task to spar with Luo Feng again.
[Task: Spar with Luo Feng using the first level of Ninefold Thunder Blade for four hours, Reward: +1 proficiency in Ninefold Thunder Blade first layer, +3 luck, +5 constitution]
The two continued fighting until midnight.
In the following days, the brothers maintained this high-intensity routine.
A few days later, when Luo Fan's constitution neared 800, he appropriately set up a new task.
[Task: Reach Martial Artist level Apprentice Stage 4, Reward: +4 comprehension, 1,000 kg Violet Light Elixir, 1 liter Wood Spirit Liquid]
[Task: Reach Spiritual Psychic level Apprentice Stage 6, Reward: +6 comprehension, 1,000 kg Rebirth Elixir]
After Luo Fan claimed the rewards from sparring with Luo Feng,
his constitution immediately reached 803, and his spirit soared to 3,212!
This meant that Luo Fan's Spiritual Psychic cultivation had reached the level of a high-ranking battle general.
After claiming the rewards, he also understood the uses of Wood Spirit Liquid and Rebirth Elixir.
Wood Spirit Liquid was used to heal injuries of apprentice-level creatures.
Just ten milliliters could save a person on the brink of death.
Unfortunately, it couldn't regenerate severed limbs.
After all, it was only meant for apprentice-level beings.
However, since his Spiritual Psychic cultivation had already reached the high-ranking battle general level, it wouldn't be long before he could save up enough money to buy Life Water for Luo Hua.
As for Rebirth Elixir, it could increase spiritual power.
Its effect was similar to Violet Light Elixir.
However, if one wasn't a Spiritual Psychic, it could only be used to restore energy.
Now it was perfect, Luo Fan could completely ignore being human and didn't need to sleep!
In these days, Zhuge Tao had also introduced two martial artist squads to Luo Fan and Luo Feng.
Luo Fan was assigned to the Rose Squad, where Fang Xueyi was.
The Rose Squad's captain and vice-captain were both close to the level of a mid-ranking Warlord.
Luo Feng, on the other hand, was introduced just like in the original story to the Fire Hammer Squad.
Tomorrow, Luo Feng would follow the Fire Hammer Squad into the Wilderness Zone for training.
Currently, Luo Fan and Luo Feng's Spiritual Psychic identities were still confidential within the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.
Only a few senior officials who handled them knew.
So this time, the main goal was to help the two adapt to the Wilderness Zone, primarily fighting as martial artists.
After all, if they used their Spiritual Psychic abilities, adapting to killing would be far too easy.
Flying daggers moved according to a Spiritual Psychic's intent—
They flew wherever one wished.
Unlike martial artists, who were much more prone to mistakes.
As for Luo Fan, since the Rose Squad had already gone to the Wilderness Zone before,
it would take over a month for him to go after they returned.
So Luo Fan decided to go to the Wilderness Zone alone.
After all, with his current strength, there was no need to follow a martial artist squad.
…
The afternoon after Luo Feng left, Luo Fan, who had slept the entire day, woke up and took a train to the supply base.
As martial artists in battle suits stepped off the train one by one,
many of them looked at Luo Fan with strange expressions.
This was because martial artists who operated alone like Luo Fan were very rare.
Most martial artists got off the train and walked in small groups of two or three.
But Luo Fan was completely alone.
Moreover, many experienced martial artists could tell at a glance that Luo Fan had never been to the Wilderness Zone.
Those who had been there carried a distinct aura.
Ignoring the stares around him, Luo Fan casually entered a restaurant.
It was still afternoon, and he planned to enter the Wilderness Zone at night.
After all, it was summer, and the daytime temperatures were quite high.
After casually eating some grilled meat, Luo Fan sat in his seat and browsed the internet on his communication watch.
Around him, martial artists were devouring meat and drinking heavily.
After all, being a martial artist was a profession that tied your brain to your waist.
Many were chatting and boasting with companions.
Especially near the bar.
Many martial artists, who didn't know each other, gathered there to drink, chat, and brag.
They probably didn't even know each other's names.
Luo Fan, sitting alone, sipping a drink while checking his communication watch, felt somewhat out of place in this environment.
…
Soon, it was past six o'clock.
The sky gradually darkened.
Luo Fan picked up his equipment and walked toward the outside of the supply base.
He soon arrived at the main gate.
A large number of soldiers were stationed there for protection.
The gate was like a fortress wall.
And on top, there were a large number of weapons and equipment.
"Sir, are you alone?"
A soldier with a slightly dark complexion and rough skin looked at Luo Fan and asked.
"Yes, I'm alone."
"Sir, the Wilderness Zone is extremely dangerous. Being alone means you'll face danger at any moment."
"If you need, we can connect you with other solo martial artists to form a team."
The soldier asked because Luo Fan was a newcomer.
After all, every martial artist was an extremely valuable talent on Earth.
Luo Fan waved his hand.
"No need."
After saying this, he swiped his card and walked out of the gate.
The soldier watched Luo Fan's back and gave him a military salute.
Every martial artist heading into the Wilderness Zone to hunt monsters was a hero of humanity.
…
Luo Fan recalled the nearby map in his mind.
At the same time, he spread out his spiritual psychic power.
This was possible because he had Rebirth Elixir, allowing him to use his spiritual power without worrying about consumption.
Other Spiritual Psychics wouldn't dare do this; at most, they would only perform small-range scans.
