Chapter 5: Light Armor Master

Hearing the word "danger", the faces of the group of men surrounding Gao Feng all changed slightly. Their steps unconsciously slowed down a bit.

Everyone had just gone through a dangerous situation and narrowly escaped death. Hearing the word "danger", they were all scared from the bottom of their hearts. After all, they were just ordinary employees, and fighting for their lives was definitely not part of their jobs.

Suddenly encountering such a big change, apart from panicking and running away, they didn't have any intention of resisting at all.

Gao Feng didn't expect anything from them. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother Zhou, if you have a light armor, use it. No matter what's ahead, we'll just charge through. Any further delay will only make things worse."

Zhou Lei was a bit surprised that Gao Feng could tell that he had a light armor. Light armor was powerful, but it also put a great burden on people. Zhou Lei could control it for at most half an hour. He had originally planned to save it for the most critical moment.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Lei still chose to trust Gao Feng's judgment. Now was the most critical moment. As long as they could get into the shelter, at least his wife and daughter would be safe. Besides, there were so many elderly people, women, and children here.

"Arm up." Zhou Lei shouted in a deep voice. A faint white light emerged from the palm of his hand. The light flowed like water and slowly formed a faint white fist armor on Zhou Lei's right hand.

This process lasted for about a minute. The faint white fist armor was fully formed. On the back of the fist was a pattern of a fierce wolf, and on the curved surface of the fist where the five fingers were, there were four inch-long fangs spat out by the fierce wolf.

The War Wolf Fist Armor was one of the most commonly used light armors in the Guangming Empire's army. Unfortunately, with Zhou Lei's fifth-level ability, he could only refine a fist armor. If he could refine a complete set of War Wolf Light Armor, these lizardmen wouldn't be a threat at all.

Even so, after activating the War Wolf Fist Armor, Zhou Lei's speed, strength, and spiritual thoughts were all greatly improved in all aspects, and his combat effectiveness was increased by at least three times. When facing a lizardman, as long as he had the chance to activate the fist armor, he would be able to kill it.

The problem was that it took too long to activate the fist armor. When facing a sudden attack from a lizardman, Zhou Lei simply didn't have enough time.

Gao Feng felt a bit sorry for Zhou Lei. He clearly had powerful light armor, but because he didn't have time to activate it, he was almost killed by a lizardman. It would have been really frustrating if he had died.

However, this was also a common weakness among low-level light armor masters. It took a certain amount of time to activate the light armor from the Source Power Sea. Once interrupted, not only would it be impossible to activate the light armor, but the spiritual thoughts would also be damaged to some extent.

Since Guangming King Tang Dongjun discovered light armor and established a complete light armor power system, humans had the foundation to dominate the Milky Way.

Powerful light armor masters could change the laws of physics. Their various powers were almost god-like. This was an era in the universe where light armor reigned supreme.

Thousands of years had passed, and human light armor technology had also been fully popularized. However, to become a light armor master, one not only needed talent but also sufficient material support. Only then was it possible to refine light armor.

The ratio of light armor masters was about one in ten thousand. That is to say, only one out of every ten thousand people could be a light armor master.

When Zhou Lei activated his light armor, the people around were all amazed, envious, and happy. With a light armor master to protect them, they would be safer.

"Light armor master, so amazing!"

"Now we're saved. He's a light armor master..."

"Light armor, light armor, so powerful..."

Zhou Lei noticed that Gao Feng's expression was calm and composed. It seemed that the War Wolf Fist Armor in his hand was nothing unusual. Zhou Lei couldn't help secretly guessing Gao Feng's identity. What kind of background did he have to possess such courage, ability, and knowledge?

He dared to say that in his whole life, he had never seen such an outstanding teenager. Even when including adults, Gao Feng was also one of the most outstanding people he had ever met.

However, he didn't know that Gao Feng had memories of the future and had seen all kinds of powerful light armors. Zhou Lei's slow activation of the light armor only made Gao Feng a bit impatient. The light armor technology in this era was still a bit backward! Gao Feng was still secretly sighing in his heart.

"Lend me your sword," Gao Feng said to a person beside him when he saw that Zhou Lei was ready.

Of course, that person had no objection and quickly handed the sword to Gao Feng. It was a standard Tang sword of the army. Although its quality was far inferior to the Si Feng Sword, it was the weapon that Gao Feng was most familiar with. Gao Feng casually made a sword flourish with his left hand, and when he felt it was quite handy, he said, "Let's go..." Then he strode forward.

"Why do you need two swords?" Zhou Lei wondered to himself. However, Gao Feng's amazing performance before made Zhou Lei trust his choice.

Seeing that Gao Feng had already walked ahead, he was stunned for a moment before quickly catching up. As an experienced veteran and one of the deputy captains of the security team, he had long been used to leading others. But when following this teenager, he instinctively obeyed the other's orders.

It wasn't exactly obedience because Gao Feng didn't give orders. But every move he made completely took the initiative, making Zhou Lei have to follow him.

The Sirius King, who once dominated the Milky Way, used two swords and roamed freely in all directions, invincible. Holding two swords, that familiar feeling emerged again from the depths of his memory.

The future and the present seemed to truly intertwine through the two swords in his hands. It was only at this moment that Gao Feng truly realized that everything he had seen was not a dream. With all the experience and memories of the future, he would embark on a different life path.

Right now, it was just the first difficult obstacle he had encountered. However, Gao Feng had great confidence that he could change the impending tragedy. With so many advantages, if he couldn't change his fate, Gao Feng felt that he would have nothing to say even if he lost.

Zhou Lei walked beside Gao Feng and always felt that some strange changes seemed to have taken place in Gao Feng. As a fifth-level light armor master, Zhou Lei's spiritual thought value was as high as 87, nearly twice that of normal people. He was also very sensitive to fluctuations in emotions and spiritual thoughts.

He could vaguely sense the power emanating from Gao Feng's bones. It was an enterprising and vigorous aura. Affected by Gao Feng's emotions, Zhou Lei couldn't be full of fighting spirit.

The Anfu Building was getting closer and closer. Under the night sky of the sky curtain, the glass pyramid of the Anfu Building was still the most eye-catching building in the base.

As the distance to the Anfu Building got closer, Zhou Lei's uneasiness grew stronger. Gao Feng and Zhou Lei didn't talk to each other. Talking at this time would not only easily distract them but also expose their whereabouts.

When they reached the corner, Zhou Lei stopped Gao Feng and poked his head out first to look. He saw dozens of corpses lying scattered on the large leisure lawn in front of the Anfu Building.

These people died in a miserable state, with their flesh and blood flying everywhere. The thick smell of blood was so strong that it made people almost suffocate.

The central square, which used to be a place for leisure and entertainment, had become a bloody hell.

Although Zhou Lei was a veteran, he still felt particularly depressed, sad, and angry when he saw this scene. The people lying there had been living lives not long ago.

Gao Feng also took a look. He had been prepared in his heart and had seen many such scenes. As his memories continued to integrate, such scenes could no longer shock him.

"They're lizardmen and Phantom Wolves." Although the distance was more than two hundred meters, Gao Feng noticed the huge bite marks on those people's bodies and the broken limbs, so it was easy for him to make a judgment.

Zhou Lei was even more surprised. Being proficient in swordsmanship and secret techniques could be taught by someone. Being brave in battle could also be due to natural bravery. But battlefield observation required real practical experience. Where on earth did this teenager learn all this?

Gao Feng also knew that it would arouse suspicion, but the situation was urgent, and he couldn't care about these things. "The Phantom Wolves are in the shape of beasts, but they're one of the most cunning and fierce creatures among the underground races."

"What do you want to do?" Although Zhou Lei had his own ideas, he still wanted to hear Gao Feng's opinion.

Gao Feng looked at Zhou Lei and said, "Time is running out. We can only charge through directly."

Zhou Lei was a bit puzzled. Charging forward without knowing the enemy's situation was like courting death! There were three shelters in the base. If this place didn't work, they could change to another one. If it really didn't work, they could also find a relatively closed place to hide.

Gao Feng looked seriously into Zhou Lei's eyes and said, "Brother Zhou, your light armor won't last long. We don't have time to hesitate. We can only muster up our courage and fight our way through. Any delay will only make things worse..."

Feeling Gao Feng's determination, Zhou Lei thought for a moment and said solemnly, "I trust you." It was easy to say this sentence, but if Gao Feng's judgment was wrong, Zhou Lei would be risking his own life. If Gao Feng hadn't saved him before and if he hadn't shown such extraordinary abilities, Zhou Lei would never have been so hasty to trust a teenager in his teens.

Gao Feng felt relieved. If he couldn't persuade Zhou Lei, it would be troublesome. Zhou Lei was also a decisive person. Once he made up his mind, he didn't hesitate at all. He followed Gao Feng and quickly walked onto the lawn in front of the Anfu Building.

Two tall lizardmen walked out from the left and right sides of the building. Behind Gao Feng and Zhou Lei, five giant Phantom Wolves also appeared silently.

These giant Phantom Wolves were emitting a faint blue light all over their bodies. Each of them was as big as a calf, and their green eyes revealed a cold and cruel light. And they walked silently, suddenly appearing as if they were ghosts in the night.

Gao Feng knew that these Phantom Wolves had a special ability, which was to use light to become invisible. Of course, they couldn't move when they were invisible. The faint blue light they emitted also had the ability to confuse people's vision. The Phantom Wolves were also the most insidious and terrifying killers in the underground world.

Zhou Lei turned his head and saw the five Phantom Wolves. His heart couldn't help but turn cold. He knew very well how powerful the Phantom Wolves were. Even with the fist armor, he was no match for so many Phantom Wolves.

"You hold off the lizardmen, and I'll deal with the Phantom Wolves." Gao Feng ordered calmly.

Although Zhou Lei felt that he had no way out, when he heard Gao Feng's decisive and firm order, he instinctively obeyed and said, "Yes."

After answering, Zhou Lei felt that something was a bit wrong. But Gao Feng had already rushed towards the five Phantom Wolves. The two lizardmen in front also surrounded them from both sides. Zhou Lei had no choice but to roar loudly and rush towards the lizardmen. In his heart, he still had a glimmer of hope that Gao Feng could really create a miracle.

Gao Feng wasn't as pessimistic as Zhou Lei. The five Phantom Wolves were within his expectations. Although the Phantom Wolves were terrifying, their actual combat effectiveness was actually inferior to that of the lizardmen. And they didn't have the scaly skin as hard as armor like the lizardmen.

The Phantom Wolves were very cunning creatures. When they saw Gao Feng bravely charging towards them alone without hesitation, the two Phantom Wolves in the front slowed down their movements instead, while the other three Phantom Wolves sped up and surrounded him from both sides, trying to form an encirclement.

Gao Feng didn't care about the Phantom Wolves on both sides at all and rushed straight towards the Phantom Wolf in the front. That Phantom Wolf didn't dodge either and pounced towards Gao Feng fiercely. As it jumped, the faint blue light on its body left a clear trajectory of its movement in Gao Feng's eyes.

Two sword lights intersected and shone brightly, as if a dazzling cross suddenly appeared out of thin air. However, the sword lights landed behind the Phantom Wolf.

With a shrill howl, a Phantom Wolf suddenly appeared where the sword lights pointed. The Phantom Wolf that had been disemboweled by the cross-shaped sword lights fell onto the lawn. In great pain, it rolled around everywhere, leaving a mess on the lawn.

In just one encounter, one Phantom Wolf was seriously injured. The other Phantom Wolves, intimidated by Gao Feng's imposing manner, all slowed down their movements.
