Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1286 - 1284: It Exploded!

"Lin Feng, I truly concede to you. Losing to someone like you, I am completely convinced!" Looking at Lin Feng, Edward confessed. It was undeniable that Lin Feng’s strength far surpassed his own. Losing to Lin Feng was not something he regretted; it was simply that he had chosen the wrong opponent this time. He shouldn’t have picked a fight with Lin Feng. People must bear the consequences of their actions, and his current fate was a normal result of that—not something to blame others for.

"Your level is too low, your perspective too limited. Mechs may be powerful, but you’re still far from grasping their true potential. Your defeat was inevitable. If not for your arrogance blinding your vision, perhaps you could have gone a step further. But now, it’s too late to change anything." Shaking his head as he looked at Edward, Lin Feng spoke earnestly, his words carrying significant weight. Edward’s flaw lay not only in his reliance on mechs but also in himself. There was no one else to blame; Edward could only blame his own shortcomings.

After finishing his words, Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling for the Old Monster to take Edward away. Grandpa Leng Hui wanted this person, and Lin Feng, under no circumstances, would refuse him. Besides, it was for the good of the country. With Edward in custody, they would certainly uncover some valuable intelligence.

After sending Edward off, Lin Feng gazed at the battlefield, now in complete disarray. Fighting within the city had caused massive destruction and brought extensive repercussions. Even with formations as cover, it wasn’t sufficient. Lin Feng increasingly felt the need to establish a Hidden World—an isolated realm disconnected from the secular world.

"Boss, that... that thing just now was terrifying, truly horrifying. Without you, Old Black and I wouldn’t have survived." The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon swallowed hard, sitting on Lin Feng’s shoulder, and spoke cautiously. Recalling the earlier explosion, it was still gripped with fear. It was the first time it truly recognized the terrifying power of human technology—crafting such monstrous devices.

"Boss, are there more of these things in the Secular World?" The Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger, perched on Lin Feng’s other shoulder, timidly asked. It was also deeply unsettled. Its concern lay in the possibility of encountering such threats while away from Lin Feng. How could it survive such a scenario?

"Those things are indeed quite formidable, but you don’t need to worry too much. While they exist in the Secular World, they’re generally not used carelessly. Edward today was driven to madness; otherwise, he wouldn’t have resorted to throwing out that bomb." Seeing the two Great Demons so perturbed, Lin Feng briefly explained the situation, reassuring them. Micro-nuclear bombs like the one Edward used were heavily regulated by nations. Such weapons were rarely ever seen, with only military families like the Locke Family capable of acquiring them.

"Thank goodness... that’s good to hear. That scared me to death..."

"So that’s how it is."

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s explanation, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger finally sighed in relief. If things were as Lin Feng described, there was little cause for worry—as long as such encounters weren’t frequent.

"Them... them..."

Meanwhile, Jack stood frozen, unable to compose himself. Staring at the two Great Demons, he stammered incoherently, as if he’d seen ghosts. In his mind, he couldn’t fathom how creatures could communicate like humans. Were they real? What exactly were these two beings?

"Just pretend they don’t exist," Lin Feng chuckled lightly and offered a simple response to Jack’s confusion. "They’re selective about their meals and generally don’t eat people from home." Beyond this brief comment, he didn’t elaborate. Jack didn’t need to understand too much about the matters concerning the two Great Demons.

Hearing this, Jack shuddered again, now far too frightened to ask any more questions. Still, his admiration for Lin Feng burned brightly. Eyes alight with excitement, he exclaimed, "Lin Feng, I want to cultivate too. Can you teach me?"

Jack’s request revealed his true feelings. Witnessing Lin Feng’s commanding presence and realizing the awe-inspiring capabilities of cultivators, he couldn’t help but feel an intense curiosity and desire to become a superhuman like Lin Feng.

"You’re not suited for this path, and your age already works against you. Cultivation wouldn’t yield much for you. You’re better off focusing on your research." Lin Feng rejected the request outright. Jack wasn’t cut out for cultivation—research was undeniably his forte and the best use of his talents.

"Alright... I understand," Jack replied reluctantly. Though disappointed, he acknowledged Lin Feng’s reasoning. At over thirty years old, he had indeed passed the optimal age for cultivation. Though his envy of the incredible abilities of cultivators lingered, he couldn’t refute Lin Feng’s logic.

As they were conversing, children and students from the special class began to approach.

"Teacher Lin, what should we do next?"

"Teacher Lin, this place is so damaged. We can’t just leave it like this."

"..."

...

Surrounded by children and students lamenting over the ravaged site, they collectively felt overwhelmed.

"Master, perhaps Huang Shi should handle it," Zhu Tao chimed in, offering a suggestion. During the recent battle, the mechs had left the ground utterly ruined. Usually, such matters were delegated to Huang Shi; this time should be no exception.

"No need for him this time. I have other plans. First, gather these mechs and send them inside. We’ll find use for them later. As for the people operating the mechs, hand them over to my senior. He’ll know what to do with them." Lin Feng thought for a moment before providing a clear set of orders. The area didn’t need restoration, as Lin Feng had already conceived a more practical solution. While the mechs themselves had value, he had no interest in their operators.

"Understood, Master." Zhu Tao quickly complied with Lin Feng’s instructions. Right after answering, he led the children and students to begin transporting the mechs. Though the machines were impossibly heavy for ordinary people, for someone of Zhu Tao’s capabilities, it was an effortless task.

Soon, Ding Wan’er and a few women arrived. They rushed to Lin Feng’s side as soon as they alighted from the vehicle, inspecting him for any injuries. Only after confirming Lin Feng was completely unharmed did they finally breathe a sigh of relief. The explosion earlier had been horrifying—even from kilometers away; they’d felt as though they were on death’s door. If not for Lin Feng, their survival chances would’ve been non-existent. Now, their hearts felt an unparalleled sense of security. With Lin Feng around, no opponent seemed remotely insurmountable. This sense of safety was truly comforting.

"Junior Brother, the area looks awful. How do we deal with this?" Ding Wan’er asked, gesturing at the several-kilometer-wide vicinity. There wasn’t a single intact spot; some areas even had Heaven Pits. Though the land was already bought, the visible devastation could never be concealed from outsiders.

"I’ve already decided: we’ll turn this place into a lake. That way, it saves us trouble." Lin Feng responded casually after hearing Ding Wan’er’s concern. The solution was simple; creating a lake avoided unnecessary complications.

"A lake?"

"How do we even do that?"

"But... how is that possible?"

...

Lin Feng’s words left everyone puzzled. None of them understood what he meant by creating a lake—especially with no access to water.

Observing their confusion, Lin Feng smiled faintly without offering further explanation. Instead, he closed his eyes.

Suddenly, Lin Feng began levitating, ascending into the air above the battlefield. His body radiated with Seven-Colored Gang Qi, and in an instant, strange phenomena began forming in the sky. From nowhere, dark clouds gathered above, accompanied by rolling thunder and lightning—a scene both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

"Crack!"

At once, a bolt of lightning tore through the night sky, hurtling straight toward Lin Feng. The lightning seemed like a blade, intent on splitting Lin Feng apart. Witnessing this, the people nearby grew increasingly anxious. If struck by lightning, Lin Feng could face great danger. What exactly was he planning?

Before anyone could voice their concerns—before Ding Wan’er and the others could attempt to dissuade Lin Feng—they saw the lightning fail to touch him. Instead, under the control of the Seven-Colored Gang Qi, it surged downward toward the ground directly below Lin Feng.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the lightning struck the earth, creating a massive pit over ten meters wide and several meters deep. The crowd was dumbfounded, astounded by Lin Feng’s ability to manipulate Gang Qi to guide lightning. He wasn’t human; he was a monster beyond comprehension...

Yet, it didn’t end there. As dark clouds continued to amass, lightning bolts rained down in succession.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The endless thunderclaps echoed without pause. Each flash of lightning obediently followed Lin Feng’s command, striking the very same spot below him with precision. The onlookers were stunned speechless, unable to fathom how Lin Feng achieved such extraordinary feats. Their jaws hung open in collective amazement, utterly perplexed by his abilities.

Even the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger, sitting on Lin Feng’s shoulders, stared wide-eyed. They couldn’t comprehend what they were witnessing. Although they could endure one or two lightning strikes, an extended barrage would defeat them. If Lin Feng had used this technique against them in the past, they would’ve been reduced to ashes. The two demons silently acknowledged Lin Feng’s exceptional prowess, grateful to stand by his side rather than face him as an adversary...

In no time, countless lightning bolts had descended, continuously enlarging the pit beneath Lin Feng. Those observing remained puzzled, uncertain as to Lin Feng’s ultimate goal. Was he trying to bore a hole through the earth?

Just as everyone reached the peak of their confusion, something extraordinary began to unfold...
