Hong: You are a Spiritual Master!

In the eastern part of Yangzhou City, an area that had been left unused due to planning issues suddenly seemed to transform overnight. An exquisite and grand castle now stood tall, as if it had appeared out of thin air. However, due to the interference of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, even government agencies were temporarily unaware of what had taken place.

This massive castle, covering more than 500,000 square meters, was a custom-built, detachable structure ordered by Wang Yi from the universe. In no time, it became the most eye-catching landmark in Yangzhou City.

Rumors about the castle quickly spread, and everyone speculated that whoever owned such a grand palace-like structure must be a powerful individual. The only thing the public knew was that it was somehow connected to the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, but the actual owner remained a mystery. Some guessed that the castle belonged to one of the top figures from the Hall, possibly even its leader, Hong.

The day after the castle was completed, Wang Yi and his family moved in, bringing along Lin Youyu, who was pregnant. When his family first saw this legendary, fairy-tale-like castle and learned that it was their private residence, they were left speechless, as if in a dream.

Wang Yi's 50 Stellar level guards and 1,000 planetary-level slave guards also moved in. However, they remained hidden, only in charge of defending the castle and rarely seen by outsiders. The next day, Hong and Thunder God came by to marvel at Wang Yi's achievement once again.

In particular, the presence of 1,000 planetary-level master and 100 Stellar powerhouses astounded both Hong and Thunder God. Such power was enough to dominate the entire world, but here it was, quietly hidden within Wang Yi's castle.

Hong and Thunder God exchanged glances, both thinking the same thing: Wang Yi had become a truly terrifying figure.

Because Shen Yan, Lin Youyu, and Gao Yurong were all pregnant, Wang Yi decided to stay on Earth for the time being. He spent most of his time either with his family, training, or participating in virtual battles in the killing fields.

Hong and Thunder God became frequent visitors to the castle, often getting lost in discussions with Wang Yi. Occasionally, the three would spar by heading to Mars on a spaceship. However, even when Hong and Thunder God teamed up, Wang Yi still came out victorious.

All three of their powers were improving rapidly, and Luo Feng was also hard at work training in the elite camp. Unbeknownst to Luo Feng, his destiny had already been subtly influenced by external forces.

Meanwhile, under the influence of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, and various countries, the world was quietly changing...

Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was already August. In autumn, the weather remained hot. The sun shone brightly on the tall, stone walls covered in red vines. The castle courtyard was filled with beautiful, rare flowers and trees. Wang Yi, dressed in white, walked through the picturesque forest with three pregnant women by his side.

Thanks to their consumption of plant-based spiritual essences, the women were strong and full of energy, despite being eight months pregnant. They were expected to give birth in two months.

"The fruit from the Meika galaxy we had yesterday was delicious," Shen Yan said, satisfied as she touched her belly.

Wang Yi sighed, "You should eat less of these alien foods. Aren't you worried it might affect the babies?"

Shen Yan had always been a food lover, but ever since connecting to the virtual universe network and discovering all the delicacies from distant planets, she could no longer control her cravings. Especially after becoming pregnant, Wang Yi found it impossible to stop her from indulging in exotic foods from around the universe.

Luckily, with Wang Yi's wealth in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, he was able to have any food delivered quickly through the Bailanxing channel.

Lin Youyu, with her quiet demeanor, smiled at Wang Yi while gently touching her stomach. She was pregnant with triplets, so her belly was larger than the other two women's.

Shen Yan, on the other hand, was expecting twins.

Gao Yurong, pregnant with just one child, felt a little envious and downcast.

As the sun bathed the dreamlike castle in golden light, the four of them sat together in the tranquil courtyard, admiring the scenery. A cool breeze rustled through the treetops, causing a purple-tinged leaf to drift down beside them.

"Luo Feng must have begun his mission by now," Wang Yi thought to himself.

Elsewhere, at the elite training camp in Hongning Base City, it was the first day of August—marking the start of the camp's deadly life-or-death adventure month. The trainees, fully armed, sat in groups on the lawn, chatting casually as they awaited the vehicle that would take them to mainland Australia.

Luo Feng, who had undergone significant growth, was among them, laughing and talking with acquaintances. Much like in the original timeline, he had signed a contract with the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. By August, his combat power had reached 12, earning him generous rewards. Thanks to consuming dragon blood, his strength had skyrocketed, and he was now a high-level war god with extraordinary spiritual power.

Though Li Yao and his wife, who had once been his mortal enemies, were still searching for him, Luo Feng had learned to hide his identity as a spiritual Master. He now felt confident that he could stand his ground, even against a high-level war god like Li Yao.

What Luo Feng didn't know, however, was that Li Yao possessed the Black God Suit.

Suddenly, a sonic boom rang out in the sky, causing everyone to look up. A blurry figure appeared high above the training camp. As the image came into focus, it revealed a blood-red, triangular fighter jet!

"The hall master is here!"

"Everyone, stand up!"

The God of War instructors near the training camp's entrance hurriedly urged the students, all of whom stood at attention, filled with excitement.

The blood-red fighter, which resembled a predatory bird, descended slowly.

With a loud whoosh, the hatch opened.

A yellow-skinned man and a white-skinned man stepped out and began walking through the air as if descending invisible steps.

All the trainees held their breath, knowing that only those who had surpassed the level of a war god could achieve such feats.

"Two war god-level inspectors?" Luo Feng was astonished. "They must be the senior inspectors from the Extreme Martial Arts Hall headquarters."

After the two inspectors disembarked, a final figure emerged from the hatch.

He was around 1.9 meters tall, dressed in black trousers and a black jacket, with fine hair.

It was Hong!

Luo Feng locked his gaze on Hong, filled with excitement. This was Hong—the most powerful man on Earth! A living legend!

Hong scanned the crowd, his presence suffocating and divine. Even Luo Feng, for a brief moment, lost his sense of self under Hong's imposing aura.

"Hm?" Hong took a step forward and instantly appeared beside Luo Feng, scrutinizing him with an intense gaze.

After a moment, a slight smile formed on Hong's lips.

Everyone stared at Hong and Luo Feng, while Luo Feng, still confused, wondered why Hong was paying him so much attention.

Then, almost as if in passing, Hong muttered softly:

"Such powerful mental energy!"
