Huo Feng thought about it and realized he had more important matters to attend to. He smiled and said, "I do have things to take care of, and I need to go to the Otherworld where there are many strong individuals. Since that's the case, I'll take my leave now. When Yue Er is older, she can come find me in the Otherworld."
Lu Xiaochong nodded, and then Huo Feng also nodded at him before turning to leave the cave.
As soon as Huo Feng reached the surface, the entrance of the cave suddenly sealed itself.
Having witnessed the vast power gap between himself and the strong individuals, Huo Feng felt more determined and clear about his future path. He decided he needed to head to the Otherworld as soon as possible to find Ruo Xi.
Thus, Huo Feng did not linger and quickly made his way back to Thunderstrike City.
...
Three days later, Huo Feng returned to Thunderstrike City's Underground Soldier City.
"Ruo Feng Brother, you finally returned! We were so worried about you."
As soon as Huo Feng stepped into Underground Soldier City, he ran into Miyan. She approached him, placed her hand on his shoulder, and hurriedly led him towards their dormitory.
Huo Feng was taken all the way to the dormitory by Miyan. Upon seeing her bring back Huo Feng, the Ling Brothers jumped off their beds in excitement.
They walked over to Huo Feng, pinching him happily while saying, "Ruo Feng Brother, you’re completely fine! We were so worried about you being gone for so long; we thought..."
Huo Feng was taken aback. Did something happen related to him while he was away? He then asked in confusion, "What happened? Why are you all looking at me like that? Did you hear something happened to me?"
Miyan, being quick-tongued, immediately interjected, "Did you not encounter Li Tie during your mission?"
Did they find out about Li Tie so quickly? Do they know I killed Li Tie? Upon hearing Miyan's words, Huo Feng's first reaction was this, but then he thought that if they really knew, they wouldn't be worried about my safety. They wouldn't have been in the city for so long without capturing me.
So Huo Feng, looking surprised, said, "Is your Li Tie the terrifying one? How could he be killed? I haven't encountered him."
"That's good, that's good. He must have died on your way to the mission while tracking you for Scar Strong's revenge. He probably ran into an enemy," Ling sighed in relief.
"Ruo Feng Brother, you're finally back! I thought something happened to you!"
At that moment, another voice came from outside the room. Huo Feng recognized it as Ruan Yiqing's voice and immediately turned around with a bright smile to show he was unharmed.
Ruan Yiqing walked over and said, "You really are lucky; thankfully, you didn't run into Li Tie since he’s dead... Oh, right, the Three Generals asked me to take you to see him. Let's go."
"Okay." Huo Feng replied verbally but was thinking, "Could the Three Generals suspect that I killed Li Tie? It doesn't matter; I'll deal with whatever comes when I get there. If I'm exposed, I don't believe they can keep me."
With these thoughts in mind, Huo Feng followed Ruan Yiqing toward the Mission Hall.
...
On the second floor of the Mission Hall, in the room where the Three Generals handled affairs.
At this moment, only Huo Feng and the Three Generals were present; Ruan Yiqing had already been sent away by them.
Huo Feng stood quietly in front of a table. On the other side of the table sat one of the Three Generals, staring at Huo Feng without moving. Neither of them spoke.
After a long while, one of the Three Generals suddenly spoke up: "Your name is Ruo Feng, right? Tell me honestly how you killed Li Tie."
His voice was deep and light, lacking any emotional color, yet it exerted an invisible pressure, a kind of irresistible charm.
However, this was merely a display of skill, for he was someone who had reached the Eighth Level of Human Pulse Realm. Nevertheless, Huo Feng still pretended to resist with great difficulty but with a strong demeanor.
The Three Generals seemed to notice that this intimidation was ineffective against Huo Feng, and suddenly spoke up: "Why did you kill Li Tie? How did you kill him? You better confess honestly, or else..."
Huo Feng feigned innocence and said, "Three Generals, I haven't seen Li Tie since I went out on a mission. Besides, he is so powerful; how could I possibly kill him?"
The Three Generals snorted coldly, suddenly channeling Origin Force throughout his body, with a strange purple Origin Force pulsating in his hand.
Huo Feng sensed a hint of danger; his own Origin Force instinctively stirred within him, and a silver-white light flickered briefly at his brow.
However, the Three Generals, who had been closely watching Huo Feng, caught this slight change. The turbulent Origin Force then calmed down as he suddenly smiled and said, "I just wanted to test you. But it seems that Li Tie really wasn't killed by you. You may go."
Huo Feng saluted him and left the Three Generals' room.
"Hmph! It seems you are hiding many secrets. I will take matters into my own hands; everything about you will belong to me. I want to be the First General. Hahaha..."
In the room, after Huo Feng left, the Three Generals muttered to himself with a sinister expression, laughing maniacally.
...
"Ruo Feng Brother, did the Three Generals give you any trouble?"
Outside the door, Ruan Yiqing asked with concern as she saw Huo Feng come out.
Huo Feng smiled and said, "No, I was just asking if I had seen Li Tie."
"That's good. By the way, have you completed your mission? When are you planning to take on another one?" Ruan Yiqing, feeling relieved that there was no issue, asked.
Seeing the extraordinary young man being so enthusiastic and down-to-earth, Huo Feng liked him even more and replied with a smile, "I'm going to submit my mission now and then I'll take on another one."
Ruan Yiqing expressed concern, "Do you really want to push yourself like this? Everyone usually takes a break after completing a mission. Besides, I heard that this last mission resulted in the deaths of over ten people. I think you should find someone to team up with."
"I'm not considering teaming up right now. I'll wait until the later missions that are more difficult," Huo Feng said as he headed towards the Mission Hall downstairs.
Upon arriving at the Mission Hall, Huo Feng didn't rush to submit his mission; instead, he went over to the mission board. Ruan Yiqing followed closely behind him, increasingly intrigued by this mysterious person.
After looking for a while, Huo Feng suddenly noticed a mission that piqued his interest: the A-Level Mission numbered 00.
Mission: Enter the Death Arena as arranged by the organization and kill the Annual Deathmatch Champion;
Mission Level: A;
Mission Reward: 00 Points.
Huo Feng had always wanted to enter the Death Arena to practice his killing intent, and seeing this made his eyes light up.
Ruan Yiqing also noticed that Huo Feng seemed determined to take on this terrifying A-Level Mission and immediately advised, "Ruo Feng Brother, you shouldn't take this mission! No newcomer has ever attempted an A-Level Mission this early. The Death Arena is extremely dangerous; it's bloody and brutal."
Huo Feng didn't respond but simply smiled at him. However, that smile already conveyed his answer.
Ruan Yiqing was still thinking about something when Huo Feng pressed his shoulder, stopping him from continuing, and then walked towards the old man who was handling the tasks.
"Grandpa, I'm here to submit a task," Huo Feng said to the old man at the counter.
The old man mumbled as if he had just woken up, "Identity badge and task items."
Huo Feng handed over his identity badge, then took out 100 Thorned Earth Demon Boar Souls and a Thorned Earth Demon Boar King Beast Soul from the Narcissistic Ring.
Upon seeing the task items, the old man's eyes lit up. He looked up at Huo Feng in surprise and said, "It's you! I didn't expect you to actually complete it. I thought you would die at the hands of the Thorned Earth Demon Boar King. It seems you're quite impressive, and you've even broken through to the Earth Vein Realm Fourth Stage."
Huo Feng smiled noncommittally. After the old man's surprise, he accepted Huo Feng's task and then handed back the identity badge.
Huo Feng did not take it but smiled and said, "Grandpa, I want to take on another task."
The old man looked at Huo Feng again and asked, "What task?"
"The A-Level Mission numbered 00."
