Swallowed Star
chapter-1375

Luo Feng was wearing Golden Claw God, and his power surged. He was suppressing the scaled strange beast.

The technique of the scaled strange beast was at level six. It was already impressive for a law master to create a technique at level six. Plus, he knew the first level of godly power-burning techniques; he could wield the power at level seven! Besides, his machine-type valuable was a claw, and it was exceptional at attacks! It could improve the power of attacks by three levels!

Which meant it could wield the power at level ten!

However, it didn’t offer any improvement in defense and evading. That meant the strange beast couldn’t hit Luo Feng, while Luo Feng could easily hit it. Even if it hit Luo Feng, Luo Feng had his own defenses and Golden Claw God to protect him. As a result, he wasn’t injured at all. However, if the strange beast was hit, it would lose a great amount of his godly body.

It wasn’t a balanced battle!

The soldiers were all shocked as they watched. They were the most powerful law masters, who could wield limit-level power. To achieve a breakthrough and become stronger would have been very difficult, which was why there wouldn’t be a large power gap among those law masters. However, that soldier, Milky Way…

“This is incredible. The body technique of that soldier, Milky Way, is incredible. His machine-type valuables are not very efficient. However, they are all of great help. Once someone is hit, he’ll be crushed.”

“His claw technique is also impressive. Golden Claw God isn’t great at attacks, but Milky Way enhances the power with his claw technique.”

The soldiers all noticed this as they watched them do battle. They understood that they would need to kill each other, since they were required to do so on the first level of Wu Qi Tower and their ultimate goal was to reach the top. Also, it was likely that they fought each other for some additional benefits. They needed to assess the power of the other soldiers now.

All the other soldiers immediately decided, “We must not mess with that soldier Milky Way. We need to stay as far away from him as possible!”

“I wouldn’t have messed with him if I had known he was that powerful,” said Xu Zhong, feeling regretful. “If I had made friends with him, I could have gained his help during the adventures on the following levels of Wu Qi Tower. Then things would have been much easier.”

******

Hua!

Luo Feng’s right golden claw bent a little. The claws were like blades.

The claw slashed the back of the scaled strange beast, and the beast rolled over. The godly body of the scaled strange beast kept being weakened by the constant attacks. Those gleaming, golden claws were like tumbling waves, slashing the scaled strange beast continuously. The beast lost a large part of its godly body, and its power was already reduced by 80 percent. Naturally, it was being crushed.

“Milky Way, please spare my life!” The scaled strange beast grew exceedingly anxious and began to beg for its life.

Luo Feng didn’t give a damn.

“I am… I am willing to give you all my valuables!” said the scaled strange beast. It was terrified as it didn’t want to die.

“I can still get your valuables if I kill you,” Luo Feng said, transmitting his voice. “Besides, you chose to enter Wu Qi Tower yourself, so you should have prepared for death. You’re much weaker now. Even if I spared your life now, what about the following levels? Do you really think you could survive what still awaits you? Besides, if I don’t kill a soldier, I won’t be able to enter the second level. Then I’ll be annihilated by Wu Qi Tower. I don’t want to die! Plus, even if you survived against me, you wouldn’t be able to kill any other soldiers. You’ll die anyway!”

The scaled strange beast understood. However, it was facing death, and it didn’t want to die like that. It wanted to live as long as it could. As for the dangers in the future? It didn’t care about that.

“I need to kill you to get to level two,” Luo Feng said, his voice cold and steady. This scaled strange beast had attacked him first. If he hadn’t been powerful enough, he would have been killed.

“No!” said the beast in despair.

It couldn’t do anything but watch itself become weaker and weaker. Even if it exploded, the power couldn’t reach level ten. Under attacks like tumbling waves, the scaled strange beast was annihilated!

“It left lots of valuables behind,” said Luo Feng.

He waved his hands and took up all the objects left on the plains. There was a black claw within the objects left behind. It was the machine-type valuable left by the scaled strange beast.

“World of Jin…” said Luo Feng.

“It has the complete ancient civilization, and it’s especially proficient at machine-type valuables!” he exclaimed. “If a universe master can reach level ten with godly power burning techniques and machine-type valuables, it will be as powerful as Teacher Origin in Universe Ocean.”

It was to be expected. Machine-type valuables could greatly improve a law master’s power and could enable him to fight true gods!

******

Luo Feng took lots of valuables, and he understood that he had been able to kill that scaled strange beast only because he was able to move swiftly and dodge the attacks! He was at a great advantage when it came to dodging, even facing a true god, which had been proven in Nine Smoke Marsh.

“It’s better to kill an elite soldier than to kill ten true gods.” Luo Feng looked around.

On the plains, the wind was still blowing, and there was fighting in several directions. Those soldiers sometimes gave Luo Feng a look.

“They’re all far from me.” Luo Feng couldn’t help shaking his head.

He was planning on killing one or two more soldiers to get more valuables. After all, he had lots of people to take care of—the humans, the earthlings, and even the Luos. They all needed valuables. However, the soldiers all treated him as a huge threat at the moment, so they might have run away if he attempted to make a move.

I’ll wait until the next level, Luo Feng thought. Generally, only 10 percent can survive Wu Qi Tower, yet 50 percent were already killed on the first level! The winners can get valuables, so I’ll kill those winners and get more trophies.

Luo Feng looked around, stopped hesitating, and flew toward the cyan pillar like a streak of light.

Hong!

Luo Feng flew toward that cyan light pillar, and it didn’t stop him.

Hong!

He was like a beam of golden light under the path of the cyan light pillar. He surged and disappeared.

The soldiers were relieved.

“Finally, he entered the second level.”

“Phew! Finally.”

“It’s a good thing.”

If Luo Feng was watching them fight, they would feel anxious; they could clearly tell that they were not at his level.

“We’re all the best elites in the special armies, so there shouldn’t be any beings significantly stronger than us. Why is Milky Way is so much stronger? Especially his close combat techniques? How come? Even true gods don’t have body techniques like that.”

After Luo Feng left, they all returned to fighting each other in groups.

Luo Feng had killed the strange beast very quickly. But contrary to Luo Feng, the rest of them took a long time to finish the battle.

******

Luo Feng felt that time and space were twisted. The dimming light was blurry, and he showed up in a new place from the cyan light pillar.

“Huh?”

Luo Feng looked around. It was a dark red land. There were fissures across the ground, and red fluids flowed beneath, venting steam that burst from the cracks. The sky was covered by dark clouds.

“Five soldiers?” Luo Feng looked into the distance. There were five soldiers, and all five stayed far from each other. Apparently, they were on high alert. “The former group?” Luo Feng moved his mind.

“New soldiers have arrived,” said a handsome teenager in dark red armor. He smiled. The color of his armor perfectly matched the shade of the ground.

“Why? Why are you waiting for the next round?” asked Luo Feng.

The teenager in dark red armor smiled all the more, yet his eyes glinted ferociously. “When we arrived, Wu Qi Tower told us that each round requires ten soldiers, and only five of the soldiers from our group survived. So we’re waiting for you.”

Luo Feng nodded. Three groups of soldiers had already entered before him. There were 13 soldiers in three groups, so there should have been 15 who survived—unless there were unexpected circumstances.

“How will the second level of Wu Qi Tower test us?” asked Luo Feng.

The soldiers answered.

“Don’t know,” said one.

“We don’t know either,” answered another.

“You’re the first to arrive. It seems you’re the strongest in your group.”

“Just luck,” said Luo Feng.

“What about the other soldiers?” asked the teenager in the red armor.

“They’ll be here in a minute,” Luo Feng said with a smile.

******

Only after half an hour later, the soldiers arrived, and they arrived at almost the same time.

Sou!

As soon as Xu Zhong arrived, his “Bib Bird” turned, opened its wings, and flew away. He looked around and saw Luo Feng in the distance. All four soldiers tried to stay as far away from Luo Feng as possible, and the other five soldiers noted their reaction. It was evident that these four soldiers were very wary of the one who had arrived before them!

“He intimidates so many elite soldiers.”

“We need to be wary of him.”

The soldiers from the last group were all shocked.

At that moment…

Hong!

Ten light pillars fell from the sky, covering all the soldiers.
