Chapter 8
Australia, Kirishima
Where the sea meets the sky, a figure flew swiftly towards them.
After landing on the shore from the sky, Zhou Tong glanced at the time on his communicator.
2057年8月12,下午3点18分。
"The original plan was to arrive a few days early, but I unexpectedly missed the deadline due to the planetary-level altitude difference..."
Although the monsters in the ocean are far more numerous and of higher level than those on land, Zhou Tong, relying on his powerful poison technique, acted with impunity and quickly collected enough monster resources to break through to the planetary level. However, his accumulation was substantial, so the breakthrough time was longer than normal.
While organizing his thoughts and observing his surroundings, Zhou Tong spent several minutes determining his location: somewhere on the coast of northern Australia.
Zhou Tong immediately took out a map and began to identify the direction.
Based on his memory, at this point in time, Luo Feng has likely already been chased by Li Yao and fled into Fog Island.
He remembered that Fog Island was located in central Australia, while he was now located in northern Australia.
The two places are more than a thousand kilometers apart, but with his current first-order planetary-level flight speed, he can reach them quickly.
However, the weather has been gloomy these past few days, and the area where Kirishima is located is shrouded in fog all year round, making it easy to miss when flying in the sky to search for it.
It will probably take some time to pinpoint Kirishima's exact location.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tong decided that after entering the universe, he would practice two more Daos of deduction and tracking, otherwise it would be foolish to blindly search for things like this again if he encountered such a thing again.
Having determined his direction, Zhou Tong leaped into the air.
Zhou Tong covered more than a thousand kilometers in less than 10 minutes.
Currently, his martial arts strength has just broken through to the first level of the planetary level, while his mental power is higher, at the third level of the planetary level.
The Great Soul Technique harvests souls to strengthen the soul. Although it doesn't directly enhance the soul like the Great Origin Technique, the cumulative effect is still considerable.
Searching...
As the sun set, Zhou Tong sped through the sky, but still couldn't pinpoint the location of Wudao Island.
"boom!"
A burst of fire suddenly erupted from the ground.
"Hmm?...Found it!"
After a moment's thought, Zhou Tong guessed that the firelight just now must have been caused by Councilor Fal from the original story.
It immediately plunged headfirst into the sky.
On the other side, above Kirishima.
Luo Feng was being brutally beaten by Councilor Fal, who had arrived not long ago. Although Luo Feng managed to persevere with his peak War God-level mental strength, the difference in strength was simply too great.
At this moment, Luo Feng was grabbed on the head by Fal with one hand and kept spitting blood. Helpless, he handed over the Ten Thousand Year Willow Heart.
"...Too late!"
"Shameless! Bullying the weak and so incompetent! Go home and nurse your kids!"
A disdainful sneer suddenly echoed from the sky, attracting the attention of the group on Mist Island.
At that very moment, the Wan Nian Liu Mu Xin, which was flying towards Councilor Faer, suddenly changed direction and accelerated into the sky.
"snort!"
Councilor Fal, who was holding Luo Feng's head with his left hand, snorted coldly and fired two fireballs at the direction where the Wan Nian Liu Mu Xin was flying.
Zhou Tong, who descended from the sky, caught the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips. Then, his eyes flashed, and his Planetary Level 3 mental power erupted forth, throwing the two fireballs back at Councilor Fal at an even faster speed than when they arrived.
At that very moment, Luo Feng also unleashed his peak War God-level mental power, controlling his flying knife to attack Councilor Fal's vital points.
The double attack forced Representative Far to release Luo Feng, freeing his hands to deflect the two fireballs and flying knives that were being fired.
Luo Feng also took this opportunity to escape quickly, preparing to find a secluded place to heal his wounds and wait for the arrival of the Limit Martial Arts School.
However, Luo Feng underestimated the strength of planetary-level beings.
The two fireballs and the throwing knife did not cause any harm to Councilor Fal. Although it took two seconds to deal with them, it was enough time for him to retaliate.
Choose the softest persimmons to squeeze!
Therefore, Councilor Far did not immediately retaliate against Zhou Tong, but instead unleashed a blazing fire ray at the back of Luo Feng, who was fleeing.
Luo Feng felt the temperature behind him suddenly soar like a rocket. He hurriedly turned around to fight back, but what he saw was a beam of fire coming straight at him. He tried to dodge, but it was too late.
Fortunately, Zhou Tong intervened in time.
Using the Great Soul Technique, he condensed his planetary-level third-tier mental power into an invisible death scythe, which he then slashed at Councilor Fal's soul.
"what!"
With a piercing scream, Representative Fal crashed straight to the ground of Kirishima.
Having escaped death, Luo Feng dared not flee again. He mustered his strength, endured the pain, and remained vigilant, waiting for the arrival of the Limit Martial Arts Academy.
On the ground, Councilor Fal stood up unsteadily, clutching his head in pain, and looked up at Zhou Tong in the sky.
"Who are you? This is the HR Alliance..."
Seeing that Councilor Far was no longer able to fight and had started to engage in verbal sparring, Luo Feng immediately launched a counterattack.
"Councilor Far, I, Luo Feng, was the first to discover Kirishima. I have already reported the situation here to the Limitless Martial Arts School. If anyone should be credited, it should be the Limitless Martial Arts School!"
At this moment, Zhou Tong landed at a position one hundred meters above the ground.
In response to the remarks of Councilor Fal and Luo Feng, Zhou Tong calmly stated, "Treasures belong to those with virtue!"
"Hmph!" Councilor Fal snorted coldly, but did not refute further.
Li Yao and the others standing nearby looked grim, as they knew very well that the so-called virtue was actually a matter of strength.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng, who was in the air nearby, had a good impression of Zhou Tong, but because he didn't know his background or whether he was friend or foe, he didn't take any action for the time being.
Zhou Tong ignored their reactions and used his mental powers to investigate the situation on Mist Island.
He needed to confirm whether Babata's fishing plan had started so he could decide what to do next.
After a while, the mental scan was completed. Zhou Tong found nearly a hundred plant spirits on Fog Island, including eight that were on par with the Ten Thousand Year Willow Heart. More importantly, he discovered the Cloud Vine underground.
Zhou Tong glanced at Luo Feng not far away, then looked at Wudao Island, thinking to himself, since Babata has already released the bait, he might as well leave Luo Feng behind and take him to Wudao Island quickly.
Earth's resources are too barren; if one wants to cultivate the Three Thousand Great Daos, one must enter the universe as soon as possible to find resources.
Zhou Tong immediately accelerated and flew to Luo Feng's side in the blink of an eye before Luo Feng could react.
Using his mental powers to isolate himself from the outside world: "Luo Feng, how about we make a deal?"
Startled, Luo Feng asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Tong didn't want to waste time explaining, so he got straight to the point: "This island has what I need, but only you have a chance to get it. I'll help you kill Li Yao, and you help me get what I need."
Luo Feng frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Even with the strength of those seniors, they couldn't obtain it. How can I possibly do it?"
"No need to call me senior, my name is Zhou Tong." Then Zhou Tong sighed, "The relics here are judged by talent and potential; strength is useless unless it reaches a certain level."
"Relics?" Luo Feng exclaimed in shock, his mind in turmoil. He had learned about the various relics on Earth from the Martial Arts Forum and knew that relics represented opportunities and wealth, but also dangers.
The experiences of this period instilled in Luo Feng an unprecedented desire for strength.
The opportunity before us...
Images of his parents, younger brother, and Xu Xin flashed through Luo Feng's mind, and then he looked at Li Yao and the others on the ground.
Luo Feng's eyes were resolute, and his expression was serious as he asked, "What do you want me to do?"
