A group of men and women fell from the sky like catkins. Many of them had fainted from the strong wind, and those who had not fainted were screaming in fear. The more panicked they were, the harder it was for them to control the wings on their backs, and they fell faster and faster.
Luo Kai rose into the sky again and grabbed two people on his left and right. Those who could not take care of them, he used the airflow to support them as they landed slowly. The little girl on his left stopped struggling and looked at him without blinking.
After landing on the ground, he turned and left. As soon as he took a step, the little girl under his feet stood up and bowed to him. "Grandpa Saint, please accept me as your disciple." She kept kowtowing as she spoke.
Luo Kai was stunned and felt a little amused. This little girl was Tuoba Ye's daughter. She was young but mischievous. When she was a few years older, she would definitely be a troublemaker. He exerted force on his feet and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Xixi, you're so brave!" After a while, those who had not fainted praised her.
The little girl looked at Luo Kai's disappearing figure and waved her fist fiercely. "I must worship Grandpa Saint as my master!"
"Cousin, that person can't be a Saint. How can there be such a young Saint? I think he's just a physique master who can control the wind."
The little girl was stunned and said dejectedly, "So he's just a physique master!"
"Okay, let's go back quickly. That strong wind just now was strange. If it wasn't for this physique master, we would have died today."
…
Luo Kai returned to the house in the neighborhood. The brown bear was still sleeping on the floor. When it sensed Luo Kai's return, it lowered its eyelids and wagged its short tail. It wanted to flatter him but could not. After a while, it fell asleep again.
Thirteen stayed by its side and did not move at all. When he saw Luo Kai, he just smiled blankly.
Luo Kai was relieved. He went forward and rubbed the brown bear's bulging belly. The turmoil in his heart gradually calmed down. Life was a process of exploring the unknown. Biological civilizations and technological civilizations were the same. When living space was insufficient, they would either kill each other or leave to find a new territory. The existence of the ultimate beings was to leave to find another world. They might come back occasionally.
There was a knock on the door. "Brother Wu, it's me. How about coming out for a drink?"
Luo Kai frowned slightly and got up to open the door.
Outside the door, Zhang Wen smiled and said, "Brother Wu, I see that you are cooped up at home every day. Come, let me bring you out for a walk."
Luo Kai pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with this place, so I wanted to ask Big Brother Zhang to show me around."
When the two of them walked out of the door, Thirteen wanted to follow them.
Luo Kai turned his head and said softly, "Big Brother, I'm going out for a walk. I'll be back soon."
Thirteen opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Hungry."
Luo Kai felt a little helpless. Thirteen's consumption of food was even higher than his. He said softly, "I'll bring you something to eat later. You stay at home and look after Feixiong."
Thirteen was stunned for a long time, as if he was digesting Luo Kai's words. In the end, he squatted down again.
Over the past few days, Thirteen's skinny body had gradually filled out. His figure had returned to its stalwart state. Although his expression was dull, he still exuded a majestic aura. Zhang Wen was surprised and asked, "Brother Wu, what happened to your big brother?"
"His brain was injured before, so his consciousness is not very clear."
"Oh, that's difficult. If it were other injuries, I know a lot of medical experts who can even reconnect broken limbs. However, it's not easy to deal with his consciousness."
Zhang Wen led Luo Kai to a small alley in the industrial area. Next door was a large factory that was emitting black smoke. Dirty water flowed in the alley, and garbage was flying everywhere. Not long after they walked, the sound of fighting could be heard. A person flew out of a house in front of them and fell heavily on the ground. A group of burly men rushed out of the house and punched and kicked the person on the ground. Their attacks were very heavy, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard. When they left, the person on the ground was already on the verge of death.
Luo Kai was not happy, but he did not say anything. He had already sensed the situation inside. This was a casino, but not just a casino. To be precise, it was an underground trading place for Direbeast meat, materials, gene medicine, and other valuable items.
Zhang Wen laughed and said, "Brother Wu, do you know where the cheapest place for Direbeast materials is?"
"Here?"
"That's right. Recently, the Sky Combat Army fought with the Vile Wolves a few times. The mercenary groups below also gained a lot. Let's go, I'll take you to see it. If you have spare money, you can buy some things and sell them to make a fortune."
The casino looked very small, but there was a lot of space inside. It was a large factory. The noisy crowd's faces were red, full of excitement and greed. They surrounded the gambling table and shouted loudly. In addition to a large number of Physique Warriors, there were also many women in revealing clothes, weaving in and out of the crowd. When Luo Kai and Zhang Wen entered, a few women with heavy makeup surrounded them. They stared at Luo Kai and smiled charmingly, "Little brother, are you looking for fun or business?"
Nowadays, the majority of Body Technique cultivators who could advance to Physique Warrior were already over thirty years old. There were also many who advanced to Physique Warrior in their forties. People like Luo Kai, who looked to be in his early twenties, were extremely rare. Naturally, he attracted their attention.
As Zhang Wen chased them away, he whispered in Luo Kai's ear, "The ones outside are not up to standard. The ones inside are the real deal."
The two left the front yard and passed through a corridor. Two men in black came up to them. One of them obviously knew Zhang Wen. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, the boss is waiting for you inside."
Zhang Wen nodded and led Luo Kai into the backyard. It was like the original office area of the factory. Compared to the front yard, it seemed to be in a different world. There were many private rooms. Some were passionate, some were charming, and some were pure and beautiful. They stood on the left and right side, as if they were free to choose.
Zhang Wen whispered to him, "Brother Wu, if you like any of them, you can take them away at any time."
Luo Kai didn't reply. He looked straight at one of the private rooms. It was as if he had returned to the past. In the dark underground bar, a beautiful woman with long red wavy hair lit a cigarette and drank red wine in loneliness.
Zhang Wen followed his gaze and looked. He smiled and said, "Brother Wu is indeed amazing. This time, the leader of our Sun Mercenary Group is personally leading the team. The leader is waiting for you inside."
Luo Kai sighed in his heart and followed him. There were three people sitting in the private room. Two men and one woman. The woman had long red wavy hair. She was none other than Hongyun. He looked at her in a daze. For a moment, his heart was in turmoil.
Hongyun looked unhappy and turned her head away.
The other two people in the private room were also looking at Luo Kai. They were surprised because they couldn't sense the aura emitted by Luo Kai.
"Old Zhang, your eyesight is indeed amazing. This brother is indeed a physique master!"
The one who spoke was a man. He was tall and sturdy like a bear. He had a fierce face and no hair on his head. There was a scar on his face that ran through his entire face. He looked extremely ferocious.
Zhang Wen bowed to Luo Kai and said, "Senior Luo, this junior has offended you."
Luo Kai came back to his senses and smiled, "It's nothing. I still have to thank Brother Zhang for bringing me to meet the elites of your group."
"Senior, just call me Old Zhang."
Zhang Wen was flattered and waved his hand. However, he thought to himself, 'How can there be such a young physique master now? It's most likely another old monster who is pretending to be young.'
He was the most famous broker in the Hunter's Guild. He was born with a pair of eyes that allowed him to discern the differences between body technique cultivators at various stages. He was shocked the first time he saw Luo Kai, because this person was like a mountain when he stood still, and like the wind when he walked. This meant that his strength far exceeded the body refinement level that was still tempering himself, and had reached a higher energy level.
"Senior Wu, I'll introduce you."
Zhang Wen pointed to a gentlemanly man on the left and introduced, "This time, our Sun Mercenary Group's elites are out to assist the central war zone. This is our mercenary group's leader, Sha Xinghe. He is now an intermediate physique master."
"This is Vice Leader Hongyun. She is a water elementalist."
Finally, he pointed to the bald man and said, "This is Vice Leader Niu Shan. He is a beginner physique master."
Luo Kai nodded calmly. He walked into the private room and sat down. He looked at Hongyun again. He hadn't seen her for a few years. Her appearance hadn't changed at all. However, there was a hint of loneliness between her brows.
