After Wang Zongquan recovered his senses, he looked at Shi Feng's faint smile and felt a chill spread throughout his body. A wave of coldness surged straight to his heart, as though he were staring at a primordial beast.
"No! No more — that's enough! I surrender!" Wang Zongquan blurted out, terrified that even a moment's delay would cost him his head.
Although their exchange had been incredibly brief, he understood Shi Feng's terror far better than anyone else present. He knew that if Shi Feng had wanted to, he could have knocked him out permanently with that single move — and he'd never have woken up again.
Looking at Shi Feng now, the young man no longer resembled some ordinary neighbor. He was nothing short of a walking demon in human form.
There was simply no other explanation.
A Transformation Realm Grandmaster in his twenties — it was something Wang Zongquan had never heard of despite traveling the entire world.
Moreover, unlike most people, he had actually fought Transformation Realm Grandmasters before. He knew full well how terrifying they were. They were beyond human — they could be called superhumans. Ordinary firearms were useless against them, because their heightened senses allowed them to dodge bullets before they were even fired.
For peak Dark Force experts like himself, standing before a Transformation Realm Grandmaster was like a child facing an adult. Life and death were entirely out of their control.
In this moment, he cursed Lu Xingluo with every fiber of his being. Had he known that Shi Feng was a Transformation Realm Grandmaster, not even ten times the courage would have been enough to make him come to the Tiandou Training Center and challenge it.
"Grandmaster Wang, since your business here is settled, perhaps we can now settle the matter of you coming to challenge our academy," Shi Feng said slowly.
The moment Shi Feng spoke, Wang Zongquan's face turned ashen.
The fury of a Transformation Realm Grandmaster was something even top-tier training centers and martial arts academies couldn't withstand — let alone a peak Dark Force expert. Moreover, he was standing right in front of Shi Feng. There was no escape.
"Master Shi, name whatever compensation you require — as long as I have it," Wang Zongquan said hastily, his heart hammering in his throat at Shi Feng's calm tone. "Oh, and I just obtained six bottles of Life Potions developed by the Green God Company. I can offer those as compensation as well."
Transformation Realm Grandmasters were not ordinary people. Their daily nutritional consumption far exceeded that of normal humans, and if they wanted to further enhance their physical condition, ordinary food and nutritional supplements were no longer effective.
At minimum, S-rank nutritional supplements were required. And the value of Life Potions was even higher than that of S-rank supplements.
It was precisely for these six bottles of Life Potions that Wang Zongquan had agreed to Lu Xingluo's terms.
After all, Life Potions were extraordinarily difficult to obtain. Even Transformation Realm Grandmasters couldn't get their hands on many.
"Six bottles of Life Potions?" Shi Feng's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.
He had never expected Wang Zongquan to possess the Green God Company's newly developed Life Potions.
He understood what Wang Zongquan was thinking, of course. In his previous life, he had been fortunate enough to meet Transformation Realm Grandmasters. He knew that they were fundamentally different from ordinary people — calling them superhumans was no exaggeration. The food and nutrition they required was entirely different.
However, he himself was no Transformation Realm Grandmaster. The reason he could display such power was solely because he had made initial progress in the Realm of Reason within the Divine Realm and had combined that with insights gained from his Keen Five Senses.
In the Divine Realm, everyone's bodies had long since transcended the mundane, allowing the Realm of Reason and the Five Senses to be pushed to their absolute limits. But in the real world, the human body was fragile and simply couldn't harness the full power unlocked by the Realm of Reason and the enhanced Five Senses.
It was like a computer running the most advanced operating system on garbage hardware — the system couldn't be supported and would crash the moment it powered on.
However, because he had made initial progress in the Realm of Reason and had also mastered the Domain, he was able to push his current body to the absolute limit in drawing upon the effects of the Realm of Reason's entry stage and the Keen Five Senses.
Even so, that brief exchange just now had caused some damage to his body — like pushing a body past its physical limits through overexertion.
