Luo Feng was taken aback. He looked in the direction Wei Wen had indicated and saw a ponytail-wearing girl in jeans and a light-colored polo shirt.
She was walking along the side of the road.
Luo Xia also glanced over there, muttering inwardly, "Tsk, the future sister-in-law..."
The girl was none other than Xu Xin, Luo Feng's love interest from the original story.
He didn't give her a long look, just a quick glance before turning his gaze away.
Luo Xia looked at the stunned Luo Feng, then gazed at the azure sky, feeling a bit of emotion.
Come to think of it, he had been transmigrated into this world for over a decade now…
He was originally an ordinary person on Earth.
One day, while he was staying up late at home reading novels, he suddenly transmigrated to this world, becoming another younger brother of Luo Feng who shouldn't have existed.
He was born at the same time as Luo Feng's other younger brother, Luo Hua, making them twins. Because Luo Hua was born first, and Luo Xia was born second, their father, Luo Hongguo, named them Luo Hua and Luo Xia, respectively.
The meaning: China.
While still in the crib, Luo Xia discovered that his soul was very powerful, perhaps because of the transmigration. He awakened his mental power as soon as he was born and could vaguely influence the things around him—
For example, he could pick up his pacifier from a distance.
After growing up a bit, Luo Xia further discovered that he learned things very quickly. No matter what it was, as long as he glanced at it, he could remember, understand, and master it.
It seemed that his comprehension stat for this life had already maxed out.
For instance, at the age of three, Luo Xia saw the Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method online. From this simplest Guiding Technique, he then deduced and comprehended a more advanced Guiding Technique!
Generally speaking, the Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method allows one to refine cosmic energy for a maximum of five minutes a day, after which the cells in the body can no longer absorb it.
However, the Guiding Technique that Luo Xia deduced and comprehended allows for the continuous absorption of cosmic energy, twenty-four hours a day.
Unfortunately, this Guiding Technique was too advanced for ordinary people to cultivate. According to Luo Xia's estimations, one would need a physique at least at the level of an Advanced Warrior to begin practicing it.
Fortunately, Luo Xia not only comprehended the Guiding Technique, but he also deduced and comprehended powerful body-strengthening techniques from various online videos and ancient texts, such as the I Ching (Book of Changes) and Ancient Yoga Techniques.
Furthermore, because his mental strength awakened early, his physique was even stronger than that of ordinary people.
So, even though Luo Xia currently only held the title of an Advanced Martial Arts Academy Student, his actual physical fitness and strength had already reached the level of an Advanced Warrior!
It was just that, because he didn't want to be too conspicuous, Luo Xia had hidden his strength and maintained a pace consistent with his elder brother, Luo Feng. While he could still be considered a genius, he didn't want to be seen as too freakish!
...
At this moment, above Yian District.
Approximately one thousand meters in the air.
A massive Black Crowned Golden Eagle was flying over the city.
Its body was about twenty meters long, its feathers gleaming with a cold metallic sheen. The feathers on its head were a deep, dark black, like a black crown. Its golden talons were sharp, and from a distance, it resembled a large fighter jet!
The Black Crowned Golden Eagle gazed down at the human city below, a murderous intent flashing in its sharp, blue-glowing eyes.
Boom!
The Black Crowned Golden Eagle's wings suddenly vibrated, and its speed instantly increased, breaking the sound barrier and reaching a terrifying velocity!
At the same time, an extremely high-pitched eagle cry erupted from the Black Crowned Golden Eagle's mouth. The terrifying sound waves transformed into visible ripples that rapidly spread downwards!
"Aaaargh——!"
\n\n
Below, Luo Xia and the others were waiting at a crossroads for the traffic light. Suddenly, an eagle's cry rang out, sharp and piercing, causing people to instinctively cover their ears.
Even so, their minds felt somewhat muddled in the face of the ear-splitting, explosive sound.
The high-pitched, piercing cry shook the city. The glass windows of a skyscraper on the adjacent street began to crack, emitting a terrifying, low [crack… crack… crack…] sound.
Many panes of glass fell from the sky, landing on the sidewalks and roads. Some shattered on streetlights, instantly sending glass shards flying everywhere. "Pop!"
"Boom!"
"Shatter!"
The road immediately became extremely dangerous.
Suddenly, a shard of glass, like a blade, shot towards Luo Xia. His eyes narrowed slightly, and with a lightning-fast movement, he grabbed the flying shard.
He tossed the fragment into a distant trash can and looked up at the sky. Faintly, he could see a massive object leaving a sonic boom cloud in its wake.
His older brother, Luo Feng, sighed in admiration, "Amazing. Just a cry from high in the sky, and it caused such a terrifying result. It must be an incredibly powerful flying beast."
He turned to Wei Wen beside him, asking, "Wei Wen, aren't you familiar with all sorts of beasts? Do you know what kind of monster this is?"
Wei Wen glanced at Luo Xia and quipped, "You might as well ask Xia, who's practically a monster encyclopedia."
Luo Feng chuckled, "We won't give him a chance to show off today." He then looked at Luo Xia and said, "Xia, let your brother Wen tell us, and we'll see if he's right."
Wei Wen, upon hearing this, narrowed his eyes, gazing at the sky. Then, he said excitedly, "Our city has a defense system at 500 meters in the sky. Since it wasn't triggered... then this flying beast is definitely above 500 meters. At such a distance, the sound still has such power..."
"If it were an ordinary monster, it wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, roaring above a human city. Let me think... if I'm not mistaken, the one that just flew past should be a Black Crowned Golden Eagle, one of the top three strongest eagle-type monsters!"
Luo Feng heard this and asked Luo Xia, "How is it? Is what your Brother Wen said correct?"
Luo Xia nodded. "Brother Wen is right. To make such a sharp sound and be so arrogant, the beast should be the Black Crowned Golden Eagle."
"The Black Crowned Golden Eagle…"
The Black Crowned Golden Eagle was incredibly powerful. Its wings were as hard as an alloy, and even cannons that could pierce a 50mm steel plate couldn't penetrate them. It was an extremely fierce and terrifying bird of prey!
Luo Feng looked up at the sky, his heart filled with passion. "One day, I will become a powerful martial artist! I will kill those beasts that dare to threaten the human base!"
"Brother, we're almost home."
At this moment, Luo Xia called out to Luo Feng, who was still walking forward.
"I always unconsciously walk forward." Luo Feng scratched his head, embarrassed. If he kept going, they would reach the area of the low-rent housing where they used to live.
Although he had moved out, he sometimes unconsciously thought his home was still in the low-rent housing complex up ahead.
"Wei Wen, we'll split up here then."
Luo Xia said to Wei Wen beside him.
Wei Wen nodded and suddenly asked, "Right, Xiao Xia, A-Feng, are you two going to the Martial Arts Academy tonight?"
Luo Feng replied, "I have a tutoring session tonight. Although it's thanks to Xiao Xia that our family moved out of the low-rent housing, I also want to help out. I might go to the Martial Arts Academy after the tutoring session."
Wei Wen nodded upon hearing this, "Alright, I won't wait for you then. I'll go over there by myself after dinner."
Luo Xia and the others parted ways with Wei Wen and walked towards their new home.
Their new residence was a detached three-story building, which Luo Xia had rented after making money online.
Why didn't he buy it? Because he knew that once Luo Feng finished his college entrance exam, they could move into a bigger villa. Buying the small building now would be a waste.
So, he just rented this detached small building.
Back home, his parents and second brother, Luo Hua, were there.
Under Luo Xia's intervention, Luo Hua didn't become disabled like in the original story. However, he didn't study at the same school as Luo Xia and Luo Feng. Instead, he attended Yian District First High School.
Yian District First High School was quite exceptional, considered a key high school in Yian District. It cultivated students with high intelligence who couldn't become martial artists.
Luo Xia's aptitude would have allowed him to enter First High School as well, but he also needed to cultivate; therefore, he went to Third High School with Luo Feng.
