"Eighteen years old… Hong, Thunder God, Jiangnan Base City… what familiar terms."
Eighteen years ago, Xu Feng arrived in this world, born here.
Everything here was familiar yet strange. Through observed facts and the conversations of those around him, he understood that this was a completely new world, no longer the azure planet he once knew.
This place was called Jiangnan Base City, one of the six major survivor bases in the Huaxia Nation.
Familiar yet strange, indeed.
It was familiar because "he" had already figured out that his current world belonged to the world of the book Swallowed Star, which he used to enjoy.
In today's terms, it was a case of transmigration.
Unfortunately, for Xu Feng, this wasn't a happy thing.
Even though he had become Xu Xin's twin brother, Xu Feng!
It was currently 2056, 42 years after the outbreak of the RR Virus.
He didn't know why he was here, but he knew he couldn't go back.
Maybe one day, if he reached the level of an Origin Lord, perhaps he could. But that goal felt so distant, so far away.
After the Great Nirvana Era.
Humanity had repeatedly suffered attacks from hordes of beasts, forcing them to build walls and establish base cities as humanity's last bastions.
In this extreme environment, human physical capabilities gradually improved and developed. The martial arts spirit flourished, and human physical fitness had undergone a qualitative leap compared to before. The most outstanding individuals among them were known as "Warriors."
In this world where martial arts were revered by all, the wilderness was filled with dangerous beasts.
Warriors were the fastest to gain power and wealth in society. Almost every human on Earth trained to become a Warrior, and status was determined by strength and money!
Once you became a Warrior, you could live in a free villa provided by the government.
A Warrior's daily income in the wilderness could surpass a commoner's monthly salary.
To bring pride to their parents, to be admired by everyone, and to live a glorious future!
One had to become a great Warrior!
"Ding ding ding..." The loud bell echoed throughout the campus, and a wave of noise immediately erupted.
Large numbers of students poured out of the teaching buildings, chatting in small groups as they headed towards the school gate.
At the Third High School's playground, a large group of students, estimated to be around thirty to forty, could be seen.
This group of students was divided into two teams. One team had more than twenty people, while the other team had only two lonely individuals.
"Brother Xu Feng, please be magnanimous and let me off this time. I really just wanted to ask Xu Xin some questions about her homework! I wouldn't dare to bother Miss Xu Xin even if I had ten thousand times the courage."
In the center of the group of students stood a somewhat effeminate male student and a very strong-looking young man, both wearing the uniform of Third High School.
"Zhang Haobai, I warn you again, if you pester my sister again, I won't just beat you up next time, I'll cripple you," the strong young man said coldly.
Xu Feng, you bastard, I'm not afraid of you. Just you wait, I'll become a Warrior sooner than you, and then I'll make you kneel down and beg for mercy, the bruised and swollen-faced male student thought silently.
A kick sent the somewhat effeminate male student flying several meters. "Xin, let's go."
Xu Feng, who had inexplicably been reborn from that once-azure planet, Swallowed Star.
In his previous life, he was a passionate young man who had just finished the college entrance examination. In this life, he was reborn into the Xu family, a large family in the HR Alliance, and became Xu Feng, the twin brother of the female lead, Xu Xin.
"Brother, you're amazing! You actually beat Zhang Haobai, who is a senior student. It's said that he's almost at the Warrior level," Xu Xin, who had just recovered, ran over and hugged Xu Feng's arm.
Xu Feng smiled wryly. "The family has invested so many resources, and yet I only reached the Warrior threshold at 18. It just shows that your old brother's aptitude is quite ordinary!"
Xu Feng thought of Luo Feng's experiences in the original book.
In the original story, Luo Feng, despite his ordinary family background, had the strength of a quasi-warrior at the age of 18.
Even without the help of the Spiritual Bead in his mind.
Based on Luo Feng's results, he could still enter the Military Academy and become a Warrior quickly.
"You can't say that, Brother. You're the best brother in my heart, and I believe you will definitely become a great God of War!"
So, in your eyes, I'm only better than my older brother, Xu Gang, that idiot? All my affection for you was for nothing, little girl.
Actually, Xu Feng understood that Earth was about to enter a period of rapid strength development.
In the vast universe, the so-called God of War on Earth…
Were only considered to be at the Apprentice Level 9.
Not even the qualifications to become a citizen.
Only by becoming a planetary-level warrior do you possess the basic requirements for survival in the universe.
Later, as Luo Feng entered the universe and brought back a large amount of resources.
Everyone on Earth could possess the strength of a warrior.
After Luo Feng became powerful, he continuously invested resources to improve the bloodline level of Earthlings.
God of War-level experts had even become extinct on Earth.
After all, even newborns on Earth could become planetary-level.
Of course, Xu Xin didn't know any of this now, and Xu Feng wasn't planning on telling his sister either. After all, he didn't want to be thought of as crazy.
"Senior Brother Luo Feng, Senior Brother Luo Feng!" A thick voice called out.
"Ah Feng, someone's calling you."
Among the group of students, a young man carrying a book, dressed in a plain blue tracksuit and about 1.75 meters tall, looked slender. He turned his head in confusion. The person calling him was a boy, about 1.9 meters tall, with a broad back and a muscular build, his arms incredibly thick.
"Oh, I see." Luo Feng paused slightly and nodded, "How about this? This Sunday afternoon, look for me at the martial arts gym."
"Thank you, Senior Brother. Thank you, Senior Brother." The burly boy thanked him repeatedly.
Luo Feng smiled and left with his classmates.
Watching Luo Feng leave, the burly boy looked excited and clenched his fist, veins popping on his arm, and he let out an excited growl: "Success!"
"Senior Brother Luo Feng actually agreed so easily?" a boy in a school uniform exclaimed in surprise.
"The rumors were true, Senior Brother Luo Feng is really easygoing and a nice person," the burly male student said with a grin.
Then, he added silently to himself, And so handsome!
Xu Feng watched this familiar scene with a sigh. Last time, it was a passage from a novel called Swallowed Star.
But now, there was an extra "him."
When Luo Feng left, preparing to go home with Wei Wen, Wei Wen suddenly stared ahead. "Ah Feng, look, it's the girl you have a crush on."
"Hmm." Luo Feng also looked over. He saw, among the students at the school gate, a ponytail-wearing girl in jeans and a light-colored top, embracing a tall young man as they walked along the side of the road.
Luo Feng's heart rate quickened slightly.
The name Xu Xin flashed through his mind!
He had a crush on Xu Xin, a secret few people knew. However, his good friend, Wei Wen, had known for a long time.
In his first year of high school, he and Xu Xin were in the same class. The first time he saw Xu Xin, he was captivated. During class, he sat in the back, and for some reason, he couldn't control himself, involuntarily looking at Xu Xin's back as she sat in front of him, just silently watching.
Just being able to see Xu Xin's back was enough.
In his second and third years, they were in different classes due to class reassignments. But whenever he saw Xu Xin, he couldn't help but look at her.
"Only one month left until the college entrance exam," Luo Feng thought silently. "In the past, I didn't have the courage or the time to pursue a girl and date. And now, in the last month, everyone is busy with exam revision, and Xu Xin is also a very determined girl. How could she possibly be distracted by dating at this time? And in the last month before the exam, I can't be distracted either, or I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
"Forget it, I'll just treat this crush as a memory."
A crush…
It was bitter, not yet in bloom, but already withered.
Luo Feng just wanted to keep it all in his heart.
The one with his shoulders embraced by Xu Xin, wearing a school uniform, was none other than her brother, Xu Feng.
Luo Feng saw Xu Feng looking at him and waved, nodding in acknowledgment.
In the Third High School, among the five thousand students, only four had obtained the title of 'Advanced Martial Arts Academy Student'.
Among those four advanced students, the other two, Zhang Haobai and Liu Ting, were both very arrogant. Only Luo Feng and Xu Feng were approachable.
Xu Feng had gotten to know Luo Feng over the years, as they were both advanced students and often met at the martial arts academy.
As Xu Xin's twin brother, he was naturally in the same class as his sister.
But they were bound to see each other frequently.
Even if Xu Feng hadn't deliberately tried to befriend Luo Feng, he was still a good friend, second only to Luo Feng's close friend, Wei Wen.
These past few years, Xu Feng hadn't entertained any unrealistic thoughts.
For instance, "Cling to Lord Luo's thigh, guarantee immortality."
"Snatch Luo Feng's opportunities and become the main character."
These were all unrealistic ideas.
After all, he was Luo Feng's uncle-in-law; there was no need to be overly eager to get close to him.
He understood his own talent.
Without the protagonist's halo, no matter how many lives he had, he couldn't steal Luo Feng's opportunities!
Just the first hurdle, seizing the Golden Horned Beast. Without the talent of a Spiritualist, he couldn't even learn the "Seizure Secret Technique" soul imprint, let alone seize it.
Not to mention the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual he'd be cultivating later.
And then there was the Star Tower, which he'd have to bond with, a task with a 90% chance of death!
All he had to do was lie low and wait for Luo Feng to casually gift him a planetary-level three-piece set.
Dragon Blood, Spirit of Plants and Trees, and Wood Tooth Crystal.
With his status as Luo Feng's brother-in-law,
given Lord Luo's personality, being an Immortal was a sure thing.
If he worked hard, becoming a King-level warrior wouldn't be difficult.
If he risked his life, he might even become a Universe Venerable.
Getting a bit of luck can make you a Universe Master.
It's rare to be reborn, and to come to the world of Swallowed Star, which I love.
If I don't become a Warrior and go on adventures in the wilderness, what's the difference between me and a salted fish?
Even if I die in the wilderness area, as long as I don't steal Lord Luo's opportunities.
As long as Luo Feng grows up, reviving myself is just a snap of the fingers.
Definitely unlimited resurrection coins.
