So fast! Lei Baoâs expression turned sour as he watched Fang Zhenyuan move. He hadnât expected the man to attack without hesitation. Fang Zhenyuan had none of the magnanimity of a martial arts grandmaster.
Fang Zhenyuanâs punch was so fast that the human body had practically no time to react.
âCome!â
However, Shi Feng had reacted as Fang Zhenyuanâs fist had begun to move.
Neutralizing grandmastersâ mental processing speed was far faster than an ordinary humanâs. Their sensitivity to danger was easily ten times sharper than an ordinary personâs, as well. They could sense an incoming attack before the enemy even moved, which was why neutralizing grandmasters were so frightening.
Since this was his first time fighting a neutralizing grandmaster in the real world, Shi Feng decided to greet the hit with a punch of his own, rather than dodge. Like Fang Zhenyuanâs punch, Shi Feng lacked any flowery movements. It was standard, textbook punch.
Suicidal bastard! Fang Mingyu could not help but grin as he watched.
Fang Mingyu had recognized that Shi Feng was weaker than he was during their clash in the Redstone Restaurant, not to mention his father.
His father might be old, but thanks to modem technology like the Life Potion, he maintained his peak condition even at his age. In fact, Fang Zhenyuanâs body wouldnât even begin to deteriorate for another two decades. The fact that Shi Feng chose to face the hit head-on was suicidal.
Boom!
As the two fists collided, the air between them compressed and shattered, the shockwave cracking the marble ground beneath them. The room shook slightly, and even Bai Qingxue stumbled backward.
After the clash, Shi Feng and Fang Zhenyuan took a step back, the ground under their feet slightly sunken.
How is this possible?! Fang Mingyu stared at Shi Feng with wide, shocked eyes when he saw the younger man completely unharmed from the exchange. Ten days ago, Shi Feng had been weaker than he was, yet now, Shi Feng had taken his fatherâs punch without suffering any damageâŚ
He stopped it?
The outcome greatly shocked Lei Bao, as well. He knew that Shi Feng was a neutralizing grandmaster, but Fang Zhenyuan had walked this path for decades now. Regardless of when he had become a neutralizing grandmaster, his fitness was inhuman. Shi Feng should have no hope of matching the older man in this regard.
Moreover, Fang Zhenyuanâs punch had been out of this world. Lei Bao was sure that if he had tried to take that hit head-on, he wouldâve either died or been severely injured.
In truth, even Shi Feng was relatively surprised. He hadnât considered that heâd improve so massively after his training in the Tower of Four Gods. Not only had his fitness rapidly improved, but he had also substantially increased his control. He had successfully implemented some of the Swordâs Transmigrationâs principles in his punch, diverting a portion of Fang Zhenyuanâs strength downward. This was why he had been able to face that hit without injury.
If this fight had taken place after Shi Feng had just broken through to the grandmaster realm, he wouldâve definitely taken damage from Fang Zhenyuanâs punch.
Is this the strength of neutralizing grandmasters? Bai Qingxue thought as she gazed down at the shattered floor and felt the stifling auras radiating off of Shi Feng and Fang Zhenyuan. This seemed more light a fight between mechanical beasts, rather than a fight between humans.
It was no wonder why Fenglin Cityâs various families were so afraid of the Fang Family.
Meanwhile, Shi Feng and Fang Zhenyuan didnât continue to fight after exchanging hits. Instead, they took a moment to observe each other in silence.
âExcellent. To reach such a standard at such an age, itâs no wonder why youâre so confident,â Fang Zhenyuan said as he calmly watched Shi Feng. Smiling, he continued, âHowever, how long do you think you can protect Zero Wing by yourself? You know that more than one organization is targeting Zero Wing. Partnering with the Fang Family is your best option. Zero Wing can only contend with these organizations with the Fang Familyâs resources and strength. If you refuse, only death will await you!â
âYou donât need to concern yourself with such matters, Mister Fang,â Shi Feng said. âZero Wing will take care of its own.â
Zero Wing had already grown powerful enough that not even first-rate Guilds were a match for it, yet as luck would have it, Zero Wing didnât have a powerful background. It was only natural that other organizations would have set their sights on the Guild. It was why Shi Feng was trying to accelerate the Heavenâs Rumble Training Centerâs development. However, he hadnât thought that a power like the Fang Family would try to annex Zero Wing so soon.
âIs that so?â Fang Zhenyuan laughed. âI hope you can keep this kind of confidence when the time comes.â
Fang Zhanyuan then turned and left the reception room, showing no intention of trying to persuade Shi Feng further. Fang Mingyu and the girl in the red dress stood from their seats, following after the older man.
After leaving Zero Wingâs main headquarters and climbing into his luxury car, Fang Zhenyuan turned to the young woman, who had remained silent, with a serious expression.
âShihan, Iâll contact Fenglin Cityâs dojos and training centers later. Iâll leave Heavenâs Rumbleâs virtual combat platform to you,â Fang Zhenyuan said coldly. âWith your position in Mythology, you should have no problem suppressing a Guild like Zero Wing, correct?â
If a Guild wished to develop in Godâs Domain, it needed sufficient manpower. Heavenâs Rumble had attracted quite a few talented fighters with the virtual platform it had set up, and as long as they dealt with the platform, Zero Wingâs development in the game would stagnate. Once they had suppressed Zero Wing from every angle, it would only be a matter of time before Shi Feng submitted to the Fang Family.
âOf course. Mythology is one of the top five Super Guilds of Godâs Domain. However, Mythology is based on the western continent, and thereâs no connection between the east and west continents yet. Itâs not possible to connect to easter playersâ data via the virtual combat platform yet. Iâll need some time before I can lead a team to the eastern continent,â the red-dressed girl named Fang Shihan said, smiling. âOnce we cross over, weâll trample over Zero Wingâs experts. Guilds on the two continents have different areas of focus, and the difference between combat standards is massive.â
âAlright. Iâll leave the situation to you. Mingyu will help you where he can,â Fang Zhenyuan said, nodding.
After Fang Zhenyuanâs group had left, an uproar rose in Zero Wingâs headquarters.
Zero Wingâs members knew about the conflict between the Guild and the Fang Family. Shi Feng had caused quite the scene in the Redstone Restaurant, after all, and as a result, the situation with the Fang Family weighed on everyoneâs minds. Since the Fang Family had left without achieving anything, Zero Wingâs players breathed a sigh of relief.
âHall Master, now that the Fang Family has revealed that it has two neutralizing grandmasters, Fenglin Cityâs dojos and training centers will side with the family. Some of the dojos and training centers weâve signed partnership agreements with will likely pull out of the deals. Iâm afraid that it wonât be possible to recruit a large number of talented combatants quickly,â Xiao Yu said. âMoreover, the Fang Family will most likely work with other dojos and training centers to compete with our pricingâŚâ
âIf they donât want to work with us, so be it. Our priority is to set up more virtual combat platforms, so I want you to try to set up some small-scale training centers around the city,â Shi Feng replied. He, too, understood the influence the Fang Family would command with two neutralizing grandmasters. Furthermore, the Fang Family had the Qilin Corporationâs support. Zero Wing was utterly outmatched when it came to strength and financial resources.
However, the virtual combat platform would become the mainstream platform for combat in the future. As long as the Heavenâs Rumble Training Center developed its virtual combat platforms, it had some chance of competing with the Fang Family.
âDeveloping the platforms wonât be a problem, but with our current finances, setting up the training centers will beâŚâ Xiao Yu said helplessly.

Although Zero Wing had recently earned quite a few Credits through Stone Forest Town, setting up a large enough virtual combat platform would cost a lot of money. The set up for a platform in the training center was already a huge burden on Zero Wingâs finances. Trying to set up more was simply unrealistic.
âRelax. Zero Wing is quite rich right now,â Shi Feng said, smiling.
âIâll start searching for suitable locations then,â Xiao Yu said, his eyes glowing with excitement upon hearing Shi Fengâs response. If they had sufficient capital, Heavenâs Rumble wouldnât have to worry about its development even without Fenglin Cityâs various dojos and training centers.
After discussing the training centerâs future with Xiao Yu, Shi Feng returned to Godâs Domain.
Other Guilds might struggle to earn money in Godâs Domain at this stage of the game, but that wasnât an issue for Zero Wing, especially after capturing the Northern Fortress. After all, the Gravity Mountain Range was becoming a hub for various wealthy powers.
