Finding a Beast General-level monster in this city was quite easy.
After Luo Feng and Luo Xia finished eating their dry rations, they spotted a mid-level Beast General-level Ironhide Boar not far from the residential buildings.
This Ironhide Boar was a top-tier monster among pig-type beasts, possessing incredible defense like the Scaled Iron Bull.
"There are other soldier-level monsters around this Ironhide Boar."
"Fortunately, not many, only thirteen."
"Big Brother, what do we do?"
"What else? Of course, we take them down!"
The two brothers quickly tidied up their things and charged toward the Ironhide Boar, shields in hand!
This mid-level Beast General-level Ironhide Boar had astonishing defense, but under Luo Xia's four-times force application technique, it was still pierced through the ear with a sword, and its head was crushed.
With the Ironhide Boar, a Beast General, falling, Luo Xia and Luo Feng, together, took care of the other, lesser monsters.
The most valuable part of the Ironhide Boar was its hide.
Luo Xia and Luo Feng skinned all the Ironhide Boars, then, before other monsters could gather, they returned to the rooftop of the residential building they'd been using, stepping on their shields.
Time passed day by day.
Ever since Luo Xia and Luo Feng came to City 023, the lone Beast General-level monsters in the city suffered.
The two brothers didn't use their mental force. Instead, each time, they engaged the monsters in close-quarters combat. Only after their practice time was up did they kill the Beast General-level monsters!
Through this kind of practical training, the two brothers' strength improved rapidly!
At present, Luo Feng's physical fitness was already approaching that of an Intermediate Warlord! And he had basically mastered the second level of the Ninefold Thunderblade, already capable of unleashing 2.1 times his original physical strength!
Because they had hunted too many monsters, Luo Xia and Luo Feng occasionally had to return to the supply base to sell the monster materials.
The first time they returned to the supply base, they sold the materials to a merchant from the HR Alliance, whose surname was Liu.
"Hmm, you two brothers are quite something. You can actually hunt Scaled Iron Bulls! Those advanced war-gods have to go around them!"
"Let me calculate... a pair of beast-general-level horns and hide, and six sets of advanced beast-soldier-level horns and hide. I'll give you a round number, 50 million, how about that?"
"And the remaining Ironhide Boar hides. This beast-general-level hide, I can give you 5 million. The other hides, 500,000 each, how does that sound?"
The second time back at the supply base.
It was still the merchant with the surname Liu.
"Damn! You two brothers actually hunted a high-level beast-general-level Two-Tailed Tiger Cat! Amazing! I'll give you 38 million directly. How about you sell me its tail tendons?"
"And this Shadowkill Hound, a low-level beast general, I'll give you 12 million! This thing's speed is terrifying; even high-level war-gods might not outrun it. How did you kill it? That's amazing!"
Back at the supply base for the third time.
"To be honest, do you two brothers have some kind of secret for killing beast general-level monsters? Why do you hunt so many of them every time? It's outrageous! Brothers! I won't say much more! For the monster materials you brought this time, I'll give you a price of 80 million. How about you sell all the materials from these beast general-level monsters to me?"
That day, Luo Xia and Luo Feng were resting on the rooftop of a skyscraper. They were drinking water and calculating their recent earnings.
Luo Feng smiled and said,
"Indeed, Captain Gao Feng was right. It's easy for warriors to make money. We've only been here for a few days, and we've already earned nearly 300 million!"
Luo Xia smiled, chewing on high-energy chocolate, and asked, "Big brother, have you completely mastered the second level of the Ninefold Thunderblade?"
Luo Feng nodded, saying, "Yes, I can now stably unleash 2.1 times my original physical strength. Coupled with my current physical fitness, which is close to that of an intermediate Wargod, my power output is already very close to that of an advanced Wargod!"
Speaking of which, he asked Luo Xia with a puzzled expression, "By the way, Xia, haven't you created the second level of your sword technique yet? Do you need to buy the later parts of World Extinguisher for reference?"
Luo Xia shook his head and said:
"My sword technique no longer needs to reference the later parts of World Extinguisher. Because my current sword technique has completely broken away from Hong's World Extinguisher spear technique.
And in my prediction, the force application technique of the second level of my sword technique needs to reach 8 times my original physical strength, which is somewhat difficult."
This sounded a bit arrogant.
But in fact, the most important thing about World Extinguisher for Luo Xia was the ideas of Hong contained within it.
And these ideas were made very clear in the beginning.
The secret manuals after World Extinguisher all basically followed the same principle from the beginning – how to make the weapon in your hand faster, and unleash even more powerful force!
Luo Xia's swordsmanship also followed this concept.
However, the swordsmanship he created had even stronger force application techniques, surpassing World Extinguisher and Ninefold Thunderblade by far. These two manuals didn't offer much reference for him anymore. So, Luo Xia had to figure out the second level of his swordsmanship entirely on his own.
Fortunately, his comprehension was off the charts.
He said it was a bit difficult.
But he actually already had an idea. As long as he practiced more, he could soon reach an eight-fold force application technique! At that time, he could touch the realm of a high-level war god with the strength of a high-level war general, jumping an entire major level!
This kind of improvement was incredibly defying! After all, even if Thunder God's Ninefold Thunderblade was practiced to the ninth level, it only reached a seven-fold force application technique! "The second level can reach eight times the body's force application..."
Luo Feng gasped, his younger brother's swordsmanship had completely surpassed Ninefold Thunderblade! Luo Xia looked at his shocked elder brother and smiled.
Actually, he'd considered upgrading and optimizing Luo Feng's Ninefold Thunderblade's force application techniques.
But after studying the Ninefold Thunderblade manual, he realized that Thunder God's version was already extremely refined.
After all, Thunder God was a top-tier powerhouse leading humanity, and his martial arts mastery was undoubtedly the best!
Although Luo Xia could further optimize and upgrade the Ninefold Thunderblade, it would increase the difficulty of training.
The more difficult version of the Ninefold Thunderblade wouldn't be something Luo Feng could learn right now; he'd need to reach the advanced Warlord level at least.
Instead, Thunder God's version of the Ninefold Thunderblade was more suitable for him to learn at the moment.
So…
In the end, Luo Xia could only optimize and upgrade the accompanying guidance techniques and footwork.
Fortunately, the accompanying guidance techniques and body movements significantly improved Luo Feng. Through continuous training, his physical fitness was already very close to that of a mid-level war-general.
The two brothers chatted for a while, and after resting, they picked up their binoculars to search for beast-general-level monsters.
The sun was high in the sky, and it was the most brilliant part of the day when Luo Xia suddenly saw an unnatural color in his field of vision.
He was slightly stunned, then saw the true form of that color and shouted with joy: "Big brother, look! There's a beast-general-level Phantom Butterfly over there!!"
"Phantom Butterfly!?"
Luo Feng was startled and quickly picked up his binoculars, looking in the direction Luo Xia pointed.
"Where is it?"
Through the binoculars, Luo Feng didn't see the Phantom Butterfly.
It was impossible to spot. The Phantom Butterfly was a monster exceptionally skilled at camouflage; when it remained still, its body almost perfectly blended with the surrounding environment!
"Big brother, look closely over there. Isn't there a piece of colored glass? See how the color on that glass looks a little off?" Luo Xia said.
Luo Feng narrowed his eyes, focusing on the stained-glass window that resembled a cathedral window.
After careful observation, he indeed found that one piece of the enormous stained glass had a slightly off color.
It was a discrepancy easily overlooked.
If Luo Xia hadn't pointed it out, Luo Feng wouldn't have noticed it so quickly.
"Really a Phantom Butterfly?" Luo Feng asked, a little disbelieving.
A Phantom Butterfly is an extremely rare and precious monster!
Warriors who have even seen a Phantom Butterfly can be counted on one hand.
Are they so lucky?
They actually encountered a Phantom Butterfly?!
Phantom Butterflies are monsters that evolved from butterflies. They are very skilled in mental power and can create illusions and mirages!
Beast General-level Phantom Butterflies are very rare.
If Luo Xia and Luo Feng could capture such a Phantom Butterfly, they could sell it for over 1 billion in the HR Alliance's mall!
Why are Phantom Butterflies so valuable?
That's because there's a crystal core inside a Phantom Butterfly.
This crystal core can help Spirit Readers quickly improve their mental strength!
