Chapter 71: Unexpected Change
Chapter 71: Unexpected Change
The plaza at the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in Jiangnan Base City has been transformed into a sea of joy.
The grand wedding of Luo Feng and Xu Xin is being held here.
The wedding was unprecedented in scale, with the top leaders of the five major world powers, the new head of the HR Alliance, all the planetary-level councilors of the Ares Palace, and almost all the top figures in the world all in attendance.
Amidst solemn music, the wedding officially commenced.
The two walked hand in hand on a red carpet paved with light and shadow technology, receiving blessings from all over the world.
On the wedding stage, Hong and Lei Shen stood side by side.
As Luo Feng's sworn brothers, they will join Luo Feng's parents to officiate at the wedding.
Hong's expression was calm, with a rare hint of satisfaction. His gaze swept across the entire room, and the unintentional pressure he exuded made everyone present feel awe and humility.
Thor, on the other hand, was a completely different person. He was all smiles, and would occasionally pat Luo Feng on the shoulder, making some joking remarks of blessing. Luo Hua, Zhen Nan, and the Gong Xinlan couple were all amused, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
When Luo Feng and Xu Xin stood on the stage, Hong stepped forward and, as the officiant, began to give a speech.
"Today, we stand here to celebrate and to remember."
"First, let us remember the sacrifices. Without the blood of countless heroes, we would not be reunited today. Peace is hard-won."
"Second, protect your family. Family is the meaning of our fight, and our strongest support."
"Third, look to the stars. Earth's future lies in the vast universe. Don't let present comforts blind you; crisis is never far away."
His words, though only three sentences long, were resounding and powerful.
This is not only an instruction to Luo Feng and Xu Xin, but also a lesson for all mankind.
Thor laughed as he took the microphone. He glanced at the somewhat nervous Luo Feng and used his unique humor to lighten the mood.
"Third brother, from today onwards, you're a married man! When you go out and explore, remember there are people waiting for you at home for dinner. Of course, with me and your eldest brother around, whoever dares to harm your family on this earth will have to ask the sword in Thor's hand first—whether it'll allow it!"
His words drew laughter from the entire audience.
After receiving blessings from his two elder brothers, Luo Feng and Xu Xin exchanged rings and shared a passionate kiss in front of the entire world.
The live broadcast froze at that moment, and countless base cities erupted in thunderous cheers.
The wedding atmosphere gradually reached its climax amidst everyone's laughter and cheers.
Luo Feng held Xu Xin's hand tightly, looking at the happy smile on his wife's face. The tension that had been building up in his heart for over a year finally eased completely. The deep-seated sense of indebtedness and waiting was finally made up for in this moment.
Inside the banquet hall, smartly dressed guests moved about, their faces beaming with genuine smiles. They continuously raised their glasses, offering their sincerest blessings to the newlyweds.
"Come on, come on! Merhandson, Sokolov, you two old geezers, don't hide! Today is my third brother's big day, you have to drink with me to your hearts' content!"
At the main table, Thor, dressed in a sharp, custom-made suit, was beaming and holding a large wine glass, chasing after Merhandson and Sokolov to have a drinking contest.
His hearty laughter echoed throughout the banquet hall, showing no airs of a second speaker.
The surrounding councilors watched this scene with forced smiles, and no one dared to step forward to stop it.
Hong was also dressed in a well-fitting black suit, but he simply held a cup of tea and sat there quietly.
His gentle gaze, tinged with amusement, watched as Luo Feng, holding Xu Xin's hand, continued to salute her among the guests.
……
After Luo Feng's wedding and honeymoon period, at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, in the quiet room.
As soon as Luo Feng entered the room, a red virtual image eagerly jumped out from his wrist.
Babata, a demon child with two sharp horns, was flying around in mid-air, hands on his hips, in a fit of rage.
"Luo Feng! And you two too!" Babata pointed rudely at the three brothers in the quiet room, "Are you planning to stay on this broken planet and play house forever?"
"Your Golden Horned Beast clone has a peak cosmic bloodline! Its talent and potential are limitless! But look at the garbage you've been feeding it in this short time!!"
With a wave of his hand, Babata conjured a light screen that displayed a dense array of data analyses.
"These Class A metals on Earth have mixed energies and loose structures! If your Golden Horned Beast were to evolve to a cosmic level by absorbing these things, it would take at least several hundred years!"
It ruthlessly pointed out to the three of them the extreme scarcity of Earth's resources.
"The only way to make the Golden Horned Beast's clone grow quickly is to enter the universe as soon as possible."
"Go find a suitable combination of metals to devour. There is a mining base of the Silver Blue Empire on Mars. After the interstellar fleet responsible for transporting the minerals was destroyed by its master, all the minerals on Mars were left behind. We will definitely gain something if we go there."
Upon hearing that they were going to Mars and even further into the universe, Luo Feng frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at his two older brothers beside him.
"Big brother, second brother, among the ancient civilization ruins on our Earth, are there... any spaceship wreckage that could be barely repaired and used?"
Upon hearing this, Thor touched his bald head and frowned.
"Spaceships... We've discovered quite a few ancient civilization ruins on Earth, and we've even excavated some spaceship wreckage from them. But they're basically just piles of scrap metal, not worth repairing."
As he spoke, he also turned his gaze to Hong.
Hong remained calm and composed. He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and seemed to have anticipated Babata's roar and Luo Feng's question.
"Spaceship..." He put down his teacup and smiled faintly, "There is indeed a spaceship on Earth that meets your requirements."
……
As soon as Hong finished speaking, he stood up, waved his hand, and led Thor and Luo Feng out of the quiet room.
Three dazzling streaks of light pierced the night sky without alerting anyone, heading straight towards the Pacific Ocean.
Under the cover of night, they plunged into the dark, icy sea.
The sea monsters around them, sensing the aura of a powerful being, scattered in panic. They ignored them and continued to dive rapidly into the depths of the Mariana Trench.
Soon, the three arrived at their destination.
Hong Shi opened up his territory and cleared away the surrounding clutter.
As the silt and sand were pushed aside by the power of the domain, the wreckage of an ancient spaceship, resembling a mountain range, was revealed, revealing only a small part of its scale amidst the dark rock walls of the trench.
Pointing to the massive wreckage that was almost integrated with the trench, Hong calmly said to Luo Feng, "This is the No. 12 ancient civilization site."
Babata immediately flew out of Luo Feng's sea of consciousness, its red eyes shooting out two scanning beams as it began a comprehensive data analysis of the behemoth.
A few seconds later, a cheer erupted in the three people's mental connection!
"What a find!" Babata's virtual image flickered violently with excitement. "This... there's actually an X81 model spaceship from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire here! Although severely damaged, the core engine and keel structure still retain basic integrity!"
Hong calmly added, "Back then, the B6-class laser cannon used to bombard the Golden Horned Beast was dismantled from this spaceship."
Babata excitedly patted his chest and made a solemn promise to Luo Feng, "Give me a few months, and I guarantee I'll get this Black Dragon Mountain spaceship back on track!"
……
Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Deep beneath the headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy lies a newly built, massive, top-secret base.
The Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship has now been completely repaired. Its black hull gleams with a metallic sheen, and it is adorned with winged dragons. It sits quietly in the center of the base, like a steel behemoth about to awaken.
"All engine parameters are normal! Energy loop is 100% clear! Ready for takeoff at any time!"
Babata stood triumphantly at the bow of the ship, reporting the final inspection results to the three men.
Luo Feng turned his head and looked at Hong and Lei Shen beside him, and formally extended the invitation.
"Big brother, second brother, let's go on this journey through the universe together!"
"Hahaha! Great! I've been waiting for this for ages!" Thor gripped his sword excitedly and shouted, "I've been wanting to see other planets for ages!"
Hong looked at the newly repaired spaceship in front of him, and then at the expectant eyes of his two brothers beside him, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
He was about to nod in agreement.
suddenly!
His brow furrowed, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.
"Not good!" Hong shouted in a low voice.
"The aura of the iceberg and the beast... is extremely weak! Something has happened to them!"
