The next evening.
"Brother Luo!"
"Hello, Brother Luo!"
The prisoners all called out respectfully.
Luo Feng ignored them directly. His record of defeating four 'Advanced Students' single-handedly in a fight had already spread throughout the detention center, so ordinary prisoners naturally wouldn't dare to offend him.
He went to the canteen.
Following the usual procedure, he got his food and sat down. Looking at the 'biological meal' in front of him, he wasn't very hungry.
"Chen Qi, you said that some people will start a melee later and deliberately involve me to attack me?" Luo Feng asked Chen Qi in his mind.
He couldn't figure it out. How could Chen Qi predict the future?
Could this really happen?
"You don't need to know how I guessed it," Chen Qi didn't explain, but instead reconfirmed the plan, "As soon as they make a move on you, use your 'Spiritual Force' to unleash a burst of power and show off your strength. This will alert the guards that you're extraordinary. Then, we'll get out of here quickly."
"Why are we in such a hurry to leave the detention center?" Luo Feng didn't understand. Once his Provisional Warrior certification arrived, the detention center would naturally release him with respect. Why make a scene?
Chen Qi said,
"We need to leave the detention center quickly so we can repay the loan!"
"Loan? What loan?"
Luo Feng was baffled.
Wait, when did 'we' get a loan?
Last night, Luo Feng was immersed in the joy of his breakthrough and couldn't sleep. He was also very grateful to Chen Qi for helping him improve his strength. He talked with Chen Qi for most of the night, but he never heard anything about a loan.
Chen Qi paused for a moment, then said,
"You don't need to worry about that. It won't hurt you. Just tell me, is the effect of the Essence of Herbs and Wood good or not?"
"It's very good."
Luo Feng had to admit that drinking a single mouthful of the liquid and immediately leveling up, awakening his Spiritualist talent, was like a gift from the heavens.
Chen Qi continued,
"If you think it's good, then we'll keep doing this. When you capture an Intermediate War General or kill some Beast General-level monsters, I can help you improve even faster."
"Even faster?"
Luo Feng was ecstatic. He had thoroughly assessed his strength last night, and it had definitely improved greatly. If such good fortune happened often, then breaking through wouldn't be difficult! But immediately, he reacted.
Why did Chen Qi need to capture a Beast General before he could give Luo Feng an upgrade?
"Chen Qi, is this how I'm going to repay the loan?" Luo Feng was a top student, and not stupid. He immediately guessed the implication.
"..." Chen Qi felt like he'd been caught. He quickly emphasized, "What's the problem? As an Intermediate War General level Spiritualist, you can't handle a few Beast Generals?"
"But you gave me treasures to boost my physical fitness to the 'Advanced Warrior' level. Without my Spiritualist talent, what can I use to kill Beast Generals?"
Luo Feng couldn't help but complain.
"Forget about the rest, just tell me if the upgrade is awesome or not?" Chen Qi asked directly.
"..." Luo Feng tried to organize his thoughts, but after thinking it over, Chen Qi's logic was indeed sound.
"Remember, make a big scene, then demand accountability and ask to see the Military. With your strength and talent, you can get a qualification to freely enter and exit the Base City." Chen Qi stressed the key points again. "This way, we can skip waiting for the warrior assessment and joining a team, which is a slow process."
"I've heard you say it so many times, Chen Qi. I already remember."
Luo Feng glanced around. He watched over a hundred prisoners chatting, while two guards, rifles in hand, occasionally glanced into the canteen, also chatting and laughing. Cameras were running in the canteen.
Everything was orderly.
Until...
A burly, one-eyed man came to sit at the long table near Luo Feng and said to him, "You're Luo Feng?"
Luo Feng was instantly on guard, thinking in his mind, "Chen Qi, is this him?"
"Yes, someone will start arguing with him soon, then they'll fight. Then it will involve you. Actually, they're targeting you!" Chen Qi thought about the original story. This one-eyed man should be nicknamed 'One-Eyed Dragon'.
"One-Eyed Dragon!"
"How are you going to handle what you did to my brother?"
Immediately following, someone shouted a few times.
One-Eyed Dragon looked over and cursed directly:
"Get lost!"
"If you don't get lost, don't blame me for being rude."
"..."
Luo Feng perked up. Everything was going almost exactly as Chen Qi had predicted. The two groups quickly erupted into an argument.
After a heated exchange, the two sides instantly went into a frenzy, grabbing long tables and other objects, and launching a 'melee'.
Seeing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel impressed. If Chen Qi hadn't told him beforehand, he wouldn't have realized these people were just putting on an act here; they were actually planning to target him.
Following the unfolding situation, Luo Feng stood up, appearing as if he didn't want to get involved in the chaos. However, at that moment, 'One-Eyed Dragon' and one of his subordinates suddenly attacked Luo Feng simultaneously. A sharpened iron nail was thrust towards Luo Feng's lower abdomen.
The One-Eyed Dragon also flipped a blade from his palm!
"Luo Feng, follow the plan, make a scene," Chen Qi shouted loudly in Luo Feng's mind.
A group of thugs, they weren't good people anyway.
Luo Feng had already moved. He was like a nimble leopard, instantly leaping up and escaping the encirclement. The physical capabilities of an Advanced Warrior were simply crushing against these people. Then came two flying kicks, which landed on the shoulders of the One-Eyed Dragon and his underling respectively.
He directly kicked the two of them away.
According to the plan, Luo Feng was still holding back, only using the physical abilities of a Provisional Warrior, as a prelude to the upcoming display of his Spiritualist strength.
"This is a tough one, attack together!" The short, fat guy who was originally against the One-Eyed Dragon suddenly switched sides, shouting loudly.
A group of people surrounded him.
Taking advantage of the chaos, they attacked.
In the distance, a guy nicknamed "Cobra" suddenly acted sneakily.
"Hmph, so what if you're physically strong? I'm ambushing you from the shadows, you definitely won't react in time! I, Cobra, am taking your arm!" Cobra's face was filled with ferocity.
Brother Zhou had ordered that this person's arm and leg be taken. If Cobra could take an arm, the reward would undoubtedly be substantial.
"Whoosh~~"
A flying knife shot out rapidly.
Luo Feng was instantly alert, looking at the flying knife. His powerful Spiritual Force erupted at this moment.
"Turn."
A shout!
The flying knife actually began to reverse its trajectory at an extremely strange angle, finally hovering in mid-air. For a moment, all the prisoners who noticed the flying knife were dumbfounded.
The flying knife stopped in mid-air?
"Die!"
Luo Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity.
According to the plan Chen Qi had provided, killing was necessary.
Since these people had accepted the black hand's contract to kill, they should have expected to be killed in return. Their deaths would be their own doing.
The Flying Knife spun rapidly, transforming into a stunning arc of light!
"Whoosh~"
In the narrow corridor, the sound of the Flying Knife created a sonic boom that echoed continuously. It instantly pierced the brow of 'Cobra', who hadn't even understood that the Flying Knife had stopped.
A large hole was directly punched through his head.
Bang
Cobra's eyes widened as he fell to the ground, dead.
"Everyone down, everyone down!"
A large number of guards, armed with rifles, quickly rushed into the canteen hall. All the prisoners immediately covered their heads and squatted on the ground.
Only two people were exceptions.
One was 'Cobra,' who had already lost his breath. He lay on the floor, blood gushing frantically from his brow; he no longer had a chance to squat.
The other... was Luo Feng, standing in the center of the canteen hall, facing the group of 'guards' with a cold expression. His expression was indifferent, and there wasn't a trace of fear of the rifles in his eyes.
Generally, a War General wouldn't fear ordinary firearms much.
Moreover, he was a Spiritualist at the Intermediate War General level.
The guards didn't dare to make any further demands of Luo Feng. The two guards who had been in the canteen at first had witnessed much of the melee, including the hovering flying knife. Both guards realized this young man was extraordinary.
At the very least, with his strength, he definitely shouldn't be locked up in this detention center.
Luo Feng walked forward, completely unconcerned about the threat of the firearms. Instead, he spoke coldly:
"I want to see someone from your military."
"I had no grievances with these people, yet they inexplicably attacked me. I need to know who dared to secretly instruct prisoners to assault me in the detention center!"
