Starforce Warriors-Chapter 492: New Function

I haven’t even conquered Earth, this beginner’s village, on my own yet, and now they want to take me beyond the heavens? Are they really planning to send me to the skies?

Little Nine said calmly, "Don’t worry, it won’t be too challenging. Going out early to see the world will broaden your horizons. My master once said that perspective is crucial for a martial artist because it enhances your imagination."

Li Xiaofei mulled over those words carefully and felt like they made a lot of sense. But the time limit of the Secret Time Pavilion was about to run out.

Something occurred to Li Xiaofei, who quickly said, "Big Brother, we’re as close as real brothers, right? I need to discuss something with you."

Little Nine puffed out his chest and said, "Little Brother, if there’s anything, just tell me!"

Li Xiaofei said, "Big Brother, since we’re one family now, about this... doghouse of yours, ah no, this divine temple, could you remove its cooldown restriction? That way, I could enter and cultivate anytime, which would help me grow stronger faster. When the time comes for you to take me to the skies, it’ll be much more impressive for you as well."

Big Brother Dog showed a rare, human-like expression of hesitation. He said, "Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but speeding up time like this isn’t always a good thing. You might not have noticed, but your bone age is already older than people your age."

"What do you mean?" Li Xiaofei froze slightly.

Big Brother Dog explained, "It means you’re older than others."

In that instant, Li Xiaofei understood. Experiencing more time naturally made him older. Every three days, thanks to the Secret Time Pavilion, he gained thirty extra days compared to others. But because of that, he also aged thirty days more.

If he kept overusing the Secret Time Pavilion recklessly, he might only live for three years while others could live for thirty years.

Big Brother Dog comforted him, "However, you don’t need to worry too much. Your physical body is unparalleled, and your inner qi is extraordinary. Naturally, your lifespan will far exceed others. Losing a little of it isn’t a big deal. Besides, you’re still young. If you achieve Sainthood, you could live at least a hundred years longer than others. Plus, once I take you to the heavens, we can find spiritual herbs and divine medicines to extend your life. But the Secret Time Pavilion shouldn’t be overused. I initially set the three-day cooldown and the thirty-day time limit to protect you."

Li Xiaofei couldn’t help but feel deeply moved again.

Big Brother’s love for me runs deep to always think of my future. I must never betray him unless absolutely necessary.

At that moment, Big Brother Dog added, "However, I can unlock another feature of the doghouse for you."

"What kind of feature?" Li Xiaofei asked curiously.

Big Brother Dog replied, "A storage function."

As long as Li Xiaofei wished, he could store items from the outside world inside the Secret Time Pavilion. He could then retrieve them at will with a single thought.

Li Xiaofei was overjoyed.

Isn’t this just like a legendary storage space?

Big Brother Dog added, "However, it’s best to store durable and wear-resistant items. Don’t put in perishables like fresh food. Time flows too quickly here, and they’ll spoil before you know it."

Li Xiaofei shook his head and said, "I don’t see it that way."

Big Brother Dog looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Li Xiaofei grinned and said, "If I store fresh food here, Big Brother, you can enjoy it!"

WOOF!

Big Brother Dog immediately gave him a big thumbs-up. "Brother, your vision is truly broad. Good brother, for life!"

"For life!"

Man and dog embraced warmly, their bond stronger than ever.

The underground base.

Li Xiaofei stepped out of the Secret Time Pavilion. The first thing he did was find himself a set of clothes to wear.

"It seems I’ll need to prepare a special uniform with absolute elasticity. That way, I won’t end up running around naked after transforming into the Asura or the Demon God state."

As this thought crossed his mind, Li Xiaofei couldn’t help but think of the young designer from the Starry Sky Mall in Liuhe Base City.

He quickly sent a message via LightChat. The other party responded swiftly and enthusiastically. Her excitement was evident in the voice message.

After hearing Li Xiaofei’s requirements, the young designer readily agreed, promising to create a suit that perfectly combined functionality and aesthetics to meet his satisfaction.

"Thank you," Li Xiaofei said.

"You’re too polite! Thanks to Brother Xiaofei’s endorsement, my clothing shop has been booming. I’ve even received orders from outside the city and qualified to participate in the clothing exhibition in Lanfu Base City. I owe all this to you. This is the least I can do."

The young designer expressed her gratitude warmly. After a slight moment of hesitation, the designer added, "Brother Xiaofei, will you be visiting Liuhe soon?"

Li Xiaofei replied, "I probably won’t have time to go back anytime soon."

"Oh, I see," the designer said. Their voice was tinged with disappointment as they ended the call.

Li Xiaofei didn’t give it much thought. His focus now was on the Jingwu Sect. The pile of martial arts manuals Big Brother Dog had given him had arrived at just the right time.

Originally, Li Xiaofei had planned to teach the martial arts from the Grandmaster of Heaven’s ancient martial arts livestream to strengthen the Jingwu Sect. However, with these new manuals in hand, Li Xiaofei realized that he could organize them into a completely new and systematic cultivation framework. This would allow the Jingwu Sect to walk a unique path that was distinct from the Grandmaster of Heaven’s ancient martial arts.

A single bloom does not make spring. It’s only when a hundred flowers bloom that spring fills the garden.

Li Xiaofei immediately got to work. With a single thought, he retrieved the manuals stored in the Secret Time Pavilion and began organizing them.

Every martial art needed to progress from the basics to the advanced. Li Xiaofei had to first understand and comprehend each technique himself before refining and adapting them to create a system that was easy to teach and delivered quick results.

Fortunately, Li Xiaofei’s aptitude had been verified by no fewer than one hundred and nine teachers. His reputation was well-earned.

The work progressed rapidly as time flew by. Li Xiaofei remained secluded, dedicating all his time and energy to this monumental task. Meanwhile, Chi Chunshui, Li Buyi, and Long Zhengfei, the three major leaders of the slum, acted with remarkable efficiency.

Following their earlier agreement, they began unifying the slum, transforming the three dominant factions into the three main halls of Jingwu Sect: the Dragon Hall, the Cloth Hall, and the Pen Hall. These three halls were now directly under the jurisdiction of Jingwu Sect. Other organizational structures were also quickly taking shape.

This marked the first major unification in the martial arts world of Haijing City’s slum. It was an unprecedented event, and so, attracted widespread attention. Many established forces grew increasingly wary of this development. They understood all too well the potential of a unified slum. The so-called mud-legged people weren’t lacking in talent, just opportunities.

Some of them were undisputed martial arts prodigies. If they truly came together, who in the slum could rival them? This was especially concerning for the aristocratic Saint families.

The situation left many on edge, as if sitting on pins and needles. However, no one dared to act against the Jingwu Sect at the moment. This hesitation stemmed from the shocking events that had unfolded when two major aristocratic families invaded the slum. The news they brought back shook all of Haijing City.

Additionally, the obliteration of the Jiepeng Consulate had finally broken through the Inquisition’s information blockade and begun spreading across the light-network. The revelations stunned countless people.

On top of this, the fall of Qin Weilong, the former city leader of Haijing Base City, sent further shockwaves through the city. It was announced that he had been executed by Grand Commander Song Huaiyuan for corruption and treason.

Haijing City had never seen such tumultuous events. The eruption of consecutive, high-profile events made every faction acutely aware that a massive purge was on the horizon. Whoever managed to survive this upheaval and seize the upper hand would determine the balance of power in the future.

New forces were emerging, determined to take the stage. On the other hand, old powers, unwilling to relinquish their dominance, fought to maintain their position. The transition between the old and the new always demanded sacrifices of blood and life to complete its ritual. Meanwhile, Li Xiaofei’s continued seclusion added an eerie tension to the air.

It was during this unsettling period that the Star Council, which had remained silent until now, finally issued a statement on its official website.
