Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1724 - 1776: All the Old Veterans Mobilize

Murong Yuanqing chuckled at Li Yifei’s words and said, "Yifei, if you don’t count as top-tier, then what does?"

Before Li Yifei could speak, Murong Yuanqing continued, "You are already at the top-tier level, and Satan, he’s almost on par with you."

Li Yifei instinctively shook his head and said, "Elder Murong, you must be joking. I’m not a top-tier master yet, but there’s something I should say first—if the nation needs me, anytime and anywhere, I, Li Yifei, will not hesitate. This time around, I will give my all and take it seriously. If the country needs me to win, that will only drive me further."

"Hahaha, that’s exactly what we need to hear, but even if you hadn’t said it, we all know!" Murong Yuanqing laughed heartily and said, "Don’t underestimate yourself; there’s hardly any gap between us now. I haven’t gone all out with anyone in years, I’ve already regressed, but since you retired, you’ve battled continuously, and instead of declining, your skills have improved. If it comes down to a fight between the two of us, I wouldn’t match you, my win rate would be less than twenty percent, and you’re likely to kill me."

Li Yifei hurriedly replied, "Elder Murong, you’re too modest. Many of my skills were learned from you; you’re like half a mentor to me. How could I battle you to the death?"

"No modesty here. You took down the Japanese Martial God, which proves your skills are already on par with ours. What’s missing is experience, but you’re still so young, with endless possibilities ahead. Surpassing us is certain." Murong Yuanqing seemed in a good mood, smiled slightly, and continued, "To get back on topic, I’ve already conveyed the intentions of the nation to you. According to your unit’s orders, you must win, and win beautifully. Consider this yourself; from a family’s perspective, I hope for your safety, after all. Satan isn’t like he used to be. If he were, I wouldn’t even pass this message to you. Back then, you could easily crush him any minute!"

Murong Yuanqing mentioned "back then" several times, and Li Yifei understood his meaning, then responded, "Indeed, Satan has improved. I heard he has been challenging masters continuously in South America, taking on all the hidden great masters."

"Exactly, I’ve heard about that news too, and I know even more than you. Whatever, I’ll send Old Feng over to tell you about it in detail. I’m currently investigating that matter, so I can’t come to you. Old Feng will share some things with you!" Murong Yuanqing displayed rare hesitation, paused, and said, "Take it seriously. Today’s Satan is not the same as the old. I’ve heard he’s challenged masters across Europe, and now he’s targeting those in America. This level of strength was unreachable for you at least a year ago."

Murong Yuanqing doesn’t know exactly how strong Li Yifei is, but Satan’s recent display of power has startled them, as he challenges the absolute top masters of countries, individuals considered national treasures, equivalent to the prowess of Murong Yuanqing and others.

Though Satan has not killed many of his challengers yet, often defeating them or stopping when they are close to losing, and sometimes receiving lessons from them, Satan himself has not sustained severe injuries.

This level of skill compares to top-tier masters.

Initially, Murong Yuanqing and the others didn’t pay much attention to Satan; he was courageous but not sufficient to interest them. Even someone like Mig, no matter how strong, only surpassed ordinary people. But this time, Satan had suddenly become a top master, commanding their attention.

Murong Yuanqing and the others cannot act, especially since the matter has spread. It’s likely known to all countries and organizations globally. Now it’s up to Li Yifei.

"Elder Murong, I’ll be cautious. The battle is approaching, and I need to adjust myself to achieve the best condition to meet him!" Li Yifei said.

Murong Yuanqing responded with an affirming sound and said, "Old Feng can arrive soon today. Be ready to welcome him and prepare promptly!"

"Okay, no problem!"

Li Yifei hung up the phone, slowly exhaled, and clenched his fists. He hadn’t expected his year-long appointment with Satan to suddenly escalate to a national level, but as a soldier, if the nation requires him, Li Yifei would never turn down the call, and would certainly go all out.

Li Yifei is pleased with Satan’s improvement. Otherwise, with all the progress he made in a year, if Satan remained stagnant, the battle would lack excitement and the disparity in strength would be too great.

But now, it seems Satan might be even stronger than him, which excites Li Yifei, making the opponent like Satan deserving of respect.

In the afternoon, Li Yifei personally drove to pick up Elder Feng, ready to bring him home, but unexpectedly, Elder Feng didn’t need that. After landing, he wanted Li Yifei to find a quiet and spacious place.

Li Yifei brought him to Murong Yuanqing’s villa, where it was quiet enough. Elder Feng dragged him to an open area and said, "Put other thoughts aside and come at me with everything you’ve got. Let me tell you, strike with full force, if I can’t handle it, then it’s my own shortcoming. If you don’t go all out, I’ll keep at you!"

Looking at Elder Feng, who had just exited the plane and hadn’t even taken a sip of water, Li Yifei felt a wave of respect. He puffed out his chest, stood straight, and nodded firmly, saying, "Alright, I’ll give my all. Elder Feng, are you ready?"

"Hurry up, use all those lethal moves you’ve mastered from the battlefield, don’t worry about me!" Elder Feng motioned to Li Yifei, "Come at me!"

Li Yifei immediately concentrated his energy, True Qi circulating throughout, mobilizing his entire body, and within seconds, he charged at Elder Feng.

Elder Feng stood still, seemingly also gathering his energy, with a straight back, immovable like a mountain, his eyebrows raised, his clothes moving without the wind.

Bam! The two collided in an instant, with Li Yifei saying he’d use full force and held nothing back. Of course, he couldn’t attack recklessly; he had never fought Elder Feng, but instinctively believed Elder Feng was no match for Murong Yuanqing, since Murong Yuanqing was one of China’s Five Great Masters, while Elder Feng was not among them.

When their fists collided, Li Yifei was slightly surprised; Elder Feng’s strength was even with his own, despite Li Yifei throwing his punch while running at full speed, whereas Elder Feng merely stood and received his punch.

Thump, Li Yifei stepped back, Elder Feng stepped back half a step, eyes wide with anger, and said, "Is this all the strength you have? Kid, you can’t beat me like this!"
