Luo Xia heard the disdain and scrutiny in Xu Gang's tone. He secretly rolled his eyes, then took a sip of cola and said in a casual tone, "You've already called me a super genius, so why would you think I'm only a mid-level warrior?"
Xu Gang was stunned, staring at Luo Xia.
This was the first time someone had dared to speak to him like that.
Normally, those warrior-level martial artists, knowing he was the eldest young master of the Xu Family, wouldn't dare to speak to him this way.
"Could it be you're already a high-level warrior?"
A seventeen-year-old high-level warrior was indeed quite impressive.
But for the Xu Family, it still wasn't a big deal.
Xu Gang nodded, acknowledging Luo Xia's talent, but his tone still held a hint of arrogance. He looked at Luo Xia and said,
"To become an Advanced Warrior at your age, your talent is indeed outstanding. Would you be willing to join our Xu Family?
The Xu Family has some influence in the world. If you're willing to join us, I can offer you a handsome salary. It's much better than risking your life in the Wilderness Area!"
As Xu Gang spoke, he glanced at Luo Feng and Xu Xin, and sneered,
"Oh, your older brother and my sister seem to be getting along quite well. But... I wonder if you've heard a saying?"
Luo Xia looked at him calmly, without responding.
This Xu Gang was, after all, Xu Xin's older brother.
And, in the future, his brother-in-law.
But honestly, that arrogant look really made a person want to slap him!
Seeing that Luo Xia didn't respond and instead looked at him with a calm gaze, as if he were watching a clown, Xu Gang's expression became somewhat annoyed. He said coldly, "There's a saying: 'marry within your own class!' How could our family let our young lady marry a martial artist? Our Xu Family has plenty of martial artists, even Commanders!"
"So, remember to tell your big brother not to dream of a toad eating swan meat!"
Luo Xia picked his ear, finished the cola in his hand, slowly stood up, looked at Xu Gang, and suddenly laughed—
"Mr. Xu Gang, you're right about 'marry within your own class'! Although my big brother wouldn't mind the background of Senior Xu Xin, your Xu Family will have to work hard to be worthy of my big brother."
Xu Gang's face was furious, "What do you mean?!"
Is this kid crazy?
He actually said their Xu Family wasn't good enough for their Luo Family?!
"Didn't you just ask me what level I've reached?"
Luo Xia suddenly leaned down, approached Xu Gang's ear, and said softly, "I'm not very talented, but I'm already a high-level Commander."
"What?!"
Xu Gang's pupils shrank.
"I'm only telling you this, Mr. Xu Gang, please keep it a secret for me."
Luo Xia said, not giving Xu Gang a chance to speak. He turned and walked towards Luo Feng and Xu Xin, leaving Xu Gang with a carefree, waving goodbye.
He wasn't worried about revealing his true strength now.
Because he had discussed it with Luo Feng.
In a short while, they would explain everything to the Limit Martial Arts Dojo.
At that time, the two brothers would probably be sent to the global headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Dojo for training.
In the world of Swallowed Star, being overly reserved isn't a good thing.
Because if you're too cautious, you'll miss out on a lot of opportunities.
In the original story, Luo Feng's talent was recognized, and he was heavily cultivated by the Limit Martial Arts Dojo because he showed it.
People like Hong and Thunder God, at their level, actually want more geniuses to appear on Earth.
They won't suppress you for being outstanding! On the contrary, they'll support you.
They'll try their best to provide you with all sorts of cultivation resources.
So, when it's time to display your talent, do so.
It's not a bad thing.
Xu Gang slowly lowered his head. He saw a deep footprint had appeared at his feet at some point, sinking more than ten centimeters deep!
Hiss—! Xu Gang gasped.
The floor of the HR Alliance Mall was specially made, and ordinary martial artists couldn't leave a mark on it.
Moreover, when Luo Xia made the footprint, he didn't make any noise, and Xu Gang didn't even feel anything! How was this possible?! Xu Gang stared in shock at Luo Xia's departing back, cold sweat running down his forehead.
A seventeen-year-old Commander?
Was this really possible!? …
"Although I don't want to interrupt your chat, Big Brother...we should go."
Luo Xia said with a smile to Luo Feng inside. Then, he smiled and greeted Xu Xin, "Senior Sister, long time no see!"
"Hello, Luo Xia," Xu Xin greeted with a smile.
Luo Feng glanced at the time and realized it was getting late. He stood up and said to Xu Xin with a touch of regret, "Well, let's leave it at that for today. We'll talk again next time, Xu Xin."
"Okay."
Xu Xin also stood up, glanced at Luo Feng, and hesitantly asked, "Are you two brothers going to the Wilderness Area?"
"Yes."
"Just the two of you?"
"Yep, just Xia and me."
"..." Xu Xin lowered her head slightly, then suddenly looked up at Luo Feng, saying, "You must come back safely!"
"Alright." Luo Feng smiled slightly, his mood bright. "We'll definitely come back safe!"
"Goodbye, Senior!"
Luo Feng and Luo Xia turned and left.
Xu Xin watched Luo Feng and Luo Xia leave in silence. Only when they were out of sight did she prepare to return to the bar.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure.
"Big Brother, what are you doing here?"
She walked over with some surprise, only to see Xu Gang slumped on the sofa, his face pale. She couldn't help but be stunned, and then she anxiously asked: "Big Brother, what's wrong?"
Xu Gang shook his head. "I'm fine…"
He looked at Xu Xin with a complicated expression and said, "Alright, Xiao Xin, go ahead and do what you need to. I'm fine. I just caught a bit of a chill. I'll be fine after sitting here for a while."
"Are you really alright?" Xu Xin asked worriedly.
"Really, I'm fine. Go ahead and do what you need to."
"Okay, call me if you need anything. I'll be at the bar."
Only then did Xu Xin leave.
\n\n
Soon after, a Commander-level warrior arrived beside Xu Gang. It was a middle-aged man wearing a training uniform.
"Young Master Xu, what can I do for you?"
"Uncle Wang, take a look at this..."
Xu Gang gestured for the Commander to look at the footprints he'd just covered.
"This is…" The middle-aged man's pupils constricted.
Xu Gang asked, "Uncle Wang, could you do this? Leave a footprint like this on the floor?"
The man he called Uncle Wang was a high-level Commander!
Uncle Wang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Of course I can, but it's very difficult to leave such a deep footprint without damaging the surrounding floor. It requires extremely high skill in controlling your strength. Which God of War left this?"
In the eyes of this high-level Commander, someone with such body control was very likely a God of War.
"God of War?" Xu Gang was taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile. "It's not a God of War, just a… a martial artist who claims to be a high-level Commander."
"Is this a new martial artist that Young Master Xu has recruited?"
Uncle Wang couldn't help but ask.
"It seems this martial warrior isn't just a high-level Commander, but is also very likely close to breaking through to the God of War level. Such precise control of power isn't something just anyone can achieve."
Xu Gang stared wide-eyed. "Really? Close to breaking through to God of War?"
Uncle Wang said, "Young Master Xu, you should know that the floor of this mall is specially made, because warriors have fought here before, causing a lot of damage.
So, to prevent the mall from being damaged again, the materials here are all specially made, and it's difficult for even Commander-level martial warriors to damage them."
He glanced at the footprints on the floor and continued,
"But the martial warrior who left these footprints easily damaged the floor here, and controlled their power to the extreme, without harming the floor around the footprints at all! I've only seen this level of power control in some Gods of War!"
Hiss—!
Xu Gang gasped, slumping onto the sofa with a vacant look in his eyes. After hearing Uncle Wang's words, only one sentence echoed in his mind:
It's over, it's over...
He had actually offended a super genius!
And this super genius had already become a high-level Commander!
A high-level Commander at seventeen years old!
In the future, he would very likely become a God of War!
Even with the Xu Family's foundation, they couldn't afford to provoke a God of War-level expert!
