"Master, you, you..." Qiqi looked at the familiar face in disbelief, her cherry lips trembling, unable to speak.
And Danny's pupils contracted: "Luofeng?"
Taking large steps to Danny, Luofeng coldly spat out a single word: "Scram!"
Danny, enraged, said: "What did you say?"
Luofeng, expressionless, said: "Go back and tell Gavin that if he dares to harass Qiqi again, I'll make his death very ugly!"
"Just you dare to speak insolently to our master? Don't forget, you're just a useless waste, go to hell!" Danny, unable to contain his anger, his entire arm suddenly glowing faintly, threw a punch at Luofeng.
Although Danny was just an ordinary servant, his strength had reached the third stage of Primordial Energy, enough to cover his entire arm. Dealing with Luofeng, who was only at the Inner Qi stage, was more than sufficient.
Qiqi's face changed instantly. She didn't expect Danny to suddenly attack, and at this level, a mage needed some preparation time to cast a spell, so it was too late to intervene.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, a figure screamed and flew out, but it wasn't Luofeng.
Danny was thrown several meters away, along with a few broken teeth.
Luofeng's body also glowed faintly, but not just his arm, his entire upper body!
Half of his body covered by Primordial Energy, he must have reached at least the fifth stage of Primordial Energy!
Qiqi's beautiful eyes widened, both surprised and delighted.
The young master, who had just awakened, had actually broken through to the Primordial Energy stage, and even reached the fifth stage. What was going on?
Looking at Danny, who was bleeding from the mouth and full of shock, Luofeng smiled: "Very good, this is the best demonstration. Go show Gavin. If he still acts arrogantly, I don't mind knocking out all his teeth too."
"Ugh, ugh..." Danny, with several broken teeth and in great pain, could only whimper, unable to speak.
Luofeng's gaze fell on him: "Disappear from in front of me in ten seconds, or I guarantee you'll soon need a full set of false teeth. Ten, nine, eight..."
Danny felt a chill, ignoring the pain, he got up and stumbled away, quickly disappearing from sight.
Luofeng snorted: "Barking up the wrong tree, no, barking up the wrong dog!"
Turning to Qiqi, who was still in a daze, he said: "How about it, did I look cool beating up that dog, Qiqi? You seemed to be mesmerized, hehe..."
Qiqi finally came to her senses. Although she still didn't understand what had happened, she was so excited that she burst into tears, tears streaming down her face: "Master, that's great, really great."
Luofeng walked over and tightly embraced her delicate body: "Qiqi, you've suffered a lot these past days, but from now on, everything will change. I swear!"
Qiqi nodded heavily: "Yes, I believe you, Master!"
The two returned to the tower. Qiqi's emotions had calmed down a bit, and she said happily: "Master, when did you wake up?"
"Just now, less than five minutes ago," Luofeng joked. "If it had been a bit later, my dear Qiqi, you would have gone with someone else."
Qiqi pouted: "Master..."
"Alright, just kidding. But after this, I know how much you care for me." Luofeng was a bit moved. From the calendar and Danny's words, he knew it had been half a year. During his long coma, Qiqi had never left his side, such a good girl, he had to cherish her even more.
"Master, don't say that," Qiqi said, slightly bashful. "I'm your maid, you've been very good to me, it's my duty."
Since Luofeng's parents passed away and the family fell into decline, Luofeng had once offered to sever their master-servant relationship, allowing Qiqi to regain her freedom. But from that moment on, Qiqi became even more devoted to this young master.
Seemingly remembering something, Qiqi asked: "Ah, right, Master, how did your strength become so strong? You didn't break through to the Primordial Energy stage before, but the punch you just threw, your Primordial Energy covered half your body, that's at least the fifth stage, right?"
Although Qiqi was a mage, she still had some understanding of a warrior's combat energy. She was very puzzled by Luofeng's transformation.
Luofeng smiled: "I'm not sure either. Maybe the fall cured my chronic illness, turning a disaster into a blessing."
Of course, he knew the truth wasn't like that.
His transformation was definitely related to those old madmen he had seen in his dream. They claimed he had a very special all-attribute body, but due to a certain defect, his strength was blocked and couldn't be fully utilized, making his cultivation very difficult. But when they left, they used their last strength to repair that defect, allowing the blocked strength to be released, breaking through to the Primordial Energy stage and even reaching the eighth stage.
Tightly clenching his fists, confidence surged in Luofeng's heart. With the eighth stage of Primordial Energy, the college entrance exam was definitely not a problem!
In a tower in Tianwei City, a young man in fine clothes was furious because the servant he had sent had been beaten up.
"Damn, Qiqi, it's one thing to refuse me, but to beat Danny like this, you're clearly not giving me, Gavin, any face!"
Qiqi was a formal mage, so it was normal that Danny wasn't her match, but Gavin didn't expect Qiqi to not only attack but also hit so hard.
"Ugh, ugh..." Danny shook his head, his words muffled.
Gavin frowned and asked: "What are you saying?"
"Ugh, ugh..." Danny gestured with his hands and feet for a long time before Gavin finally understood, but he was shocked: "What, the person who beat you wasn't Qiqi, it was Luofeng?"
Danny nodded repeatedly, and Gavin, disbelieving, said: "Even if Luofeng woke up, with his skills, could he beat you?"
Danny continued to gesture, and Gavin was even more surprised: "Fifth stage of Primordial Energy, Luofeng has broken through to the fifth stage of Primordial Energy? How is that possible, he was still at the Inner Qi stage when he was in a coma!"
Danny couldn't explain this either. After asking a few more questions, Gavin couldn't get any more information from the unfortunate servant and dismissed him, his face darkening.
Luofeng, Luofeng, you not only beat my servant but also challenged me. Who do you think you are?
No matter how you improved to the fifth stage of Primordial Energy, in front of me, Gavin, you're just a nobody. Qiqi will be mine, just wait and see!
In the afternoon, Luofeng went to the public library in Tianwei City and spent a few hours, almost flipping through all the history books related to famous people.
However, he couldn't find any records of those old madmen who claimed to be supreme in his dream.
Supreme of Extreme Heat, Supreme of Instant Shadow, Supreme of Thunder, Supreme of Fierce Battle, Supreme of Time and Space, Supreme of Holy Healing...
Many supreme beings who made significant contributions had names that would last for millennia. Even with a long history, they shouldn't be so easily forgotten.
Perhaps Tianwei City was just a small fourth-level city with fewer books. He could check in larger city libraries later.
However, Luofeng was certain that even if those old madmen weren't supreme beings, they were very powerful. They had entered his spiritual world and cured his chronic illness. When he was young, his parents had sought many famous doctors, but even they were helpless.
Moreover, when he beat Danny, the Primordial Energy he used wasn't the basic technique he learned at the youth training camp, but the profound technique taught by the old madmen in his dream, which was far superior to what he learned at the academy. That punch released energy smoothly and powerfully, with no obstruction, and even a ninth-stage Primordial Energy warrior shouldn't have such smooth energy flow.
By the time he got home, it was already evening. But Luofeng didn't bother with dinner and immediately ran to the small training ground in the tower, closed the door, and started practicing.
However, what he planned to practice wasn't the basic federal combat technique taught by the youth training camp instructors, but another technique called the Ancient Heaven-Defying Technique.
However, those old madmen said this technique wasn't from ancient times. They named it simply because it was domineering.
Indeed, it sounded very domineering, but when Luofeng first heard it, he almost vomited. Even worse, those old madmen claimed that this Ancient Heaven-Defying Technique was something they had researched together and theoretically should work.
In other words, no one had ever practiced this technique before, and he would be the guinea pig, with the possibility of hormonal imbalance, disability, or even sudden death...
At the time, Luofeng thought they were just a bunch of bored madmen, playing tricks on him. He planned to discard this so-called domineering, amazing, but unpracticed technique as soon as he could. However, now that he was back in the real world and his chronic illness was cured, he had to re-evaluate the identity of those old men and this technique.
Regardless of whether the Ancient Heaven-Defying Technique was a scam, at least it wouldn't be dangerous for him to practice it now. With his current strength at the Primordial Energy stage, it would be hard to die from practicing, which would only happen to higher-stage warriors, at least at the Magic Qi stage.
Thinking about this, Luofeng decided to give it a try. He sat down, made various hand seals, and the Primordial Energy in his body began to flow through his limbs and body according to a mysterious and complex pattern, far more intricate than the basic combat technique taught at the youth training camp.
In his dream, Luofeng had practiced this technique countless times under the coercion of the ten old madmen who claimed to be supreme, and he was very familiar with it, but it had been ineffective. However, in the real world, everything was different.
Energy flowed into his body almost endlessly, and Luofeng was pleasantly surprised to find that the Ancient Heaven-Defying Technique absorbed energy much faster than the basic combat technique from the youth training camp. For a high-level practitioner, it might be insignificant, but for a Primordial Energy stage warrior, it was incredible!
Luofeng was greatly delighted because the old madmen claimed that according to their theory, this technique was the foundation of all foundations. For a warrior, it was like the foundation of a skyscraper. As long as Luofeng learned it, he could practice any other attribute technique with half the effort and achieve twice the results, and the absorbed energy would be purer.
Although it was just a theory, the fact now proved one point: the energy absorption speed of the Ancient Heaven-Defying Technique was indeed very fast, to be precise, it was insane!
They weren't completely exaggerating. The various amazing effects they claimed might not be evident in the later stages, but at least now, they had found a place that matched the "Heaven-Defying" in the name of the technique!
