Conquering the Universe

Chapter 13: Confrontation at the Zhang Residence

Chapter 13: Confrontation at the Zhang Residence

Nov 15, 2024

“Get up, everyone! Attack together!” Zhang Haobai shouted, his face flushed with rage.

This Luo Feng actually dared to come to his home and cause trouble, beating up his bodyguards.

“Be careful, this guy is really strong.” The short and plump bodyguard who had fallen to the ground rubbed his stomach, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He couldn’t get back up for a while.

“Kid, you’re ruthless.” The bodyguard surnamed Wang and another bodyguard rushed towards Luo Feng. Having witnessed Luo Feng’s earlier kick, they didn’t dare to be careless. At that moment, Luo Feng had already dashed to his father Luo Hongguo's side, but before he could say anything, Luo Hongguo quickly said, “I’m fine, Xiao Feng, watch out behind you!”

In an instant, the two bodyguards attacked Luo Feng from the left and right, while Zhang Haobai quietly closed in.

Three against one!

“Hmph!” Luo Feng caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, instantly pivoting his body. Using the momentum from the spin, he quickly swung his right arm, forming a knife with his palm. His right arm sliced through the air like a war blade!

Whoosh!

Before his hand could reach, the gust of wind had already blown towards them.

“Not good.” The bodyguard surnamed Wang’s face changed as he quickly crossed his arms to block Luo Feng’s strike!

Bang! A deep thud resonated.

Luo Feng's knife hand landed heavily on the arms of the bodyguard surnamed Wang.

The bodyguard felt as if his arms weren’t his own, the pain causing him to lose sensation. He felt a sudden weakness in his right forearm, and without hesitation, he quickly retreated, yelling, “I’ve broken my right arm!”

“What!” Zhang Haobai, who was preparing to take action, was taken aback. His family’s three bodyguards were all advanced students from martial arts schools. According to reason, Luo Feng was also an advanced student; their strength should be comparable. It was impossible for a single knife hand to break the arm of a fellow advanced student from the martial arts school.

“Not good!” With the bodyguard surnamed Wang injured, only the tall bodyguard in black remained. Seeing his two companions defeated, he was filled with both shock and anger.

Gritting his teeth, the black-clad bodyguard let out a low growl and launched a lightning-fast kick followed by a punch.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

However, Luo Feng was extremely agile. He dodged the two attacks effortlessly and then ruthlessly unleashed his most powerful chopping strike!

His right hand lifted high, as if wielding a mighty sword, and struck down fiercely!

“Too fast.” The black-clad bodyguard, unable to avoid the attack, could only brace himself with both arms, gritting his teeth to endure the blow! When Luo Feng's terrifying knife hand came crashing down, fear had already taken root in the black-clad bodyguard's heart.

Boom!

The black-clad bodyguard felt his arms lose all feeling, collapsing under Luo Feng’s knife hand, and Luo Feng's strike didn’t lose momentum, crashing down onto the black-clad bodyguard's shoulder, causing him to kneel on the ground with over a thousand pounds of force.

“How is this possible?” Zhang Haobai, who had initially planned a sneak attack, was now terrified and frozen in place.

Among the three bodyguards, one was clutching his stomach and unable to get up, another had a broken right arm, and the last was kneeling on the ground after being struck by a knife hand!

“Zhang Haobai!” Luo Feng glared with fiery eyes, as if he wanted to devour him.

“What are you doing? Luo Feng, what do you want?” Zhang Haobai stepped back two paces in fright, shouting, “This is my home! You broke in and injured my people, and you’re still so arrogant!”

“You dared to hit my dad and kick him!” Luo Feng clenched his fists, his muscles taut like steel, veins bulging like worms, giving him a fierce appearance.

“I don’t even know who your dad is! How could I hit or kick him...” Zhang Haobai suddenly narrowed his eyes, glancing at three dirty workers nearby, their clothes stained with footprints. He suddenly realized why Luo Feng had come in without asking questions and went straight to attacking.

Seeing Luo Feng's fierce demeanor, Zhang Haobai immediately yelled, “Luo Feng, I warn you, you—”

“Bang!”

Luo Feng’s swift kick, as fast as lightning, struck Zhang Haobai in the stomach, causing him to double over and collapse to the ground, his face reddening.

“Stop with the warnings!” Luo Feng grabbed Zhang Haobai by the collar, lifting him off the ground, leaving him dangling in the air.

“You, you…” Zhang Haobai tried to speak, but with Luo Feng holding him up by the collar, the pressure on his neck made it hard for him to breathe, let alone talk.

“Put the homeowner down!”

A furious shout rang out from a distance, and dozens of armed security guards rushed over, wielding their batons. Many areas of the residential complex had surveillance cameras, so the fight had been reported to the security personnel right away. The residents living in the townhouses were all well-off, and the security guards didn’t dare to take this lightly.

They rushed to the scene immediately and also called the police.

Luo Feng glanced at the approaching security guards, sneered at Zhang Haobai, and casually threw him down. Zhang Haobai landed on the grass of the courtyard, his white clothes stained green with grass juice.

“Dad, are you okay?” Luo Feng walked over to his father, Luo Hongguo.

“I’m fine; it’s just some minor injuries.” Luo Hongguo looked at the three bodyguards, who were struggling to get up and appeared pained, and at Zhang Haobai, whose face was pale. He whispered with concern, “Xiao Feng, how could you be so reckless? You’ve beaten people like this. The medical expenses will be significant, and they might even sue you.”

“Yeah, Xiao Feng, your strikes were too hard,” another worker added with worry.

“It’s not too hard; it’s good that I hit them. They didn’t treat us as human beings before,” another taller worker angrily retorted.

The security guards in this area were well aware of the families living in the complex, especially those like the Zhang family, whose three bodyguards were elite-level and advanced students of a martial arts school. But now all three were seriously injured, making the security guards hesitant to provoke Luo Feng.

After all, they were just paid workers and didn’t want to end up like those three bodyguards with broken bones.

Suddenly, the sound of police sirens echoed, and everyone turned to look. A police car quickly stopped at the Zhang family’s gate, and four police officers rushed out of the vehicle.

“The police are here.” The security guards immediately stepped aside.

“Oh no, the police are here.” Luo Hongguo and the others were startled, and Luo Hongguo quickly pulled Luo Feng to a corner, whispering urgently, “Xiao Feng, you’ve caused injuries. Things will get complicated when we get to the police station. Just wait; I’ll find a lawyer to help you.”

“Dad, I passed the preliminary martial artist assessment.” Luo Feng replied quietly.

With just that one sentence, Luo Hongguo, who had been anxious, instantly relaxed, even showing a smile. “Really, Xiao Feng, you passed the assessment? Then the police won’t have the authority to take you in!”

As a preliminary martial artist, once you passed the combat assessment, you would be recognized as a martial artist. With an adequate level of physical fitness, you would be able to cultivate the Genetic Original Energy.

Thus, the law states—

Involving preliminary martial artists and martial artists in various cases would all be handled by the Base City Security Bureau. Jiangnan City, of course, was under the jurisdiction of the Jiangnan Security Bureau, and the general police system had no authority to arrest them.

“However, Dad, after I pass the assessment, I need to go through upper-level approval. It’ll be a few days before my preliminary martial artist certificate arrives at our home and is recorded in my citizen identity information.” Luo Feng whispered, “So from a legal perspective, I’m still not a preliminary martial artist yet. I have to wait a few days to become one!”

Only when it was recorded in the citizen identity information would Luo Feng officially be recognized as a preliminary martial artist.

“In the meantime, even if I run into trouble, I can just notify the Extreme Martial Arts School for a guarantee, proving that I’ve passed the preliminary martial artist assessment. Then I can walk straight out of the police station,” Luo Feng said. “But if there’s no trouble, there’s no need to go through all that. It’s just a matter of staying at the police station for a few days. When the time comes, I want to stay; they won’t dare to keep me.”

Luo Hongguo nodded.

“Ro Feng!” Two police officers approached, one of them shouted, “You dare to trespass into a private residence and severely injure someone! Come on, go with us to the police station.”

“Officer, I’ll cooperate with your work.” Luo Feng stepped forward with a smile, “Let’s go. You only have one car, and it seems like there isn’t enough space for everyone.”

This left the two police officers momentarily stunned.

“Don’t worry, my family has a car.” Zhang Haobai turned to the lead police officer among the four, “Uncle Liu, all three of my bodyguards and I have been injured by him; we are all witnesses.”

“Take them all away.”

The police officer referred to as Uncle Liu waved his hand and said.

“Ro Feng.” Zhang Haobai glared fiercely at Ro Feng, filled with a great deal of resentment. The accumulated anger from three years of high school was bad enough, but today Ro Feng had beaten him again, reminding him of a time he was also beaten at the martial arts academy. “This time, Ro Feng, you won’t escape unscathed. You’ve injured my bodyguards so badly that it’s enough to constitute a criminal case. You could be sentenced to a few years in prison—let’s see how arrogant you are then!”

Ro Feng smiled as he got into the police car with the officers.

The cold, dim room was empty, with cold air continually seeping in, making one shiver involuntarily.

 “This is the interrogation room?”Luo Feng looked around curiously, examining the dark space.“You’ve left me alone in this dimly lit room with the air conditioning cranked up so high—is this some kind of psychological tactic?”In truth, the so-called interrogation hadn’t even begun, and Luo Feng already felt victorious!

 Having passed the preliminary martial artist assessment, Luo Feng was completely unafraid of the police system’s methods.

 In the monitoring room outside the interrogation chamber, several police officers watched the footage from the cameras capturing the interrogation room. One young female officer asked in confusion,“Captain, why does this young man seem unfazed? Normally, when someone enters this room and stays here for half an hour, they quickly become terrified and flustered.”

 “Don’t underestimate him; the citizen identity information shows that he’s a senior student at a martial arts school! Plus, he’s injured four other senior students from that same school,”a balding middle-aged officer chuckled.

 “One person injured four? Impressive. Could he already be a preliminary martial artist? If that’s the case, we’re in big trouble,”said a young male officer.

 “He’s not a preliminary martial artist; the public identity information is clear.”

 The balding middle-aged officer said,“Come on, Xiao Yang, let’s go in and question him.”

 “Yes, Captain.”

 ...

 Inside the interrogation room, Luo Feng had already been waiting for more than half an hour.

 “You’re here?”Luo Feng smiled as he looked at the two officers entering.

 The balding middle-aged officer was taken aback by the calmness of the young man, then he and the other young officer sat down at the interrogation table. The balding officer smiled and said,“I apologize; we were delayed questioning a few other individuals before coming here.”

 “It’s fine,”Luo Feng inquired,“What about the three workers from the decoration company? Where are they now?”

 “We’ve sent them home,”the balding middle-aged officer replied amiably.

 Luo Feng nodded.

 In this incident, Luo Feng’s father, Luo Hongguo, and the others were the victims, so it was only natural they would be let go.

 “The three workers from the decoration company, along with Zhang Haobai and his three bodyguards, have all given their accounts of what happened, and the facts are quite unfavorable for you. Do you have anything to say?”The balding middle-aged officer fixed his gaze on Luo Feng; typically, when someone hears that the facts are against them, they would try to defend themselves.

 Luo Feng smiled and replied,“I have nothing to say. Zhang Haobai and his three bodyguards are just a bunch of thugs! They dared to hit my dad; I just taught them a lesson.”

 “Hmm?”Both the balding officer and the young male officer were stunned.

 “Bang!”The young male officer slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and scolded,“Luo Feng, be honest. This is the police station—don’t act so arrogant!”

 “Arrogant? I’m just stating the facts,”Luo Feng replied with a smile.“Alright, that’s all I have to say.”

 The balding middle-aged officer furrowed his brow.“Luo Feng, your blatant arrogance here will be very unfavorable for your statement in court! Given how brutal your actions were and the fact that you did it intentionally, if it goes to court, you could easily be sentenced to several years in prison. It’s better if you clarify things.”

 “I have nothing to clarify,”Luo Feng shook his head.

 The balding middle-aged officer frowned and scrutinized Luo Feng. Luo Feng remained silent, and finally, the officer waved his hand,“Alright then; don’t regret this later. Take him away!”

 Luo Feng smiled as he stood up, and two male officers swiftly entered the interrogation room to escort him out.

“Conquering the Universe” tells the story of “Luo Feng”, a young man living on a post-apocalyptic Earth, where a massive disaster has caused all species to mutate, leading to a brutal fight for survival. In this world of constant evolution and conflict, Luo Feng’s life takes a dramatic turn when he discovers the ancient inheritance of the “Master of Meteor Star”, a powerful being from a distant past. With this immense power, Luo Feng quickly rises to become one of Earth's top three warriors, defending humanity from external threats.
However, Luo Feng’s greatest challenge comes when he faces a “Star-Swallowing Beast”, a colossal creature capable of consuming planets and stars. In their epic battle, Luo Feng loses his physical body, but using the knowledge from his inheritance, he performs a daring soul transference. He takes over the body of the Star-Swallowing Beast, merging with the very creature that sought to destroy him.
In his new form, Luo Feng harnesses the beast's boundless power, yet he clings to his humanity by creating a human “avatar” within his colossal body. Now, with dual identities—part cosmic predator, part human—Luo Feng ventures beyond Earth, exploring the vast universe. He encounters powerful galactic empires, ancient civilizations, and other formidable beings, all while unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos.
As he grows in strength, Luo Feng must confront new enemies and face moral dilemmas, balancing his godlike power with his responsibility to protect humanity. His journey across the stars is one of self-discovery, transformation, and survival, as he shapes not only his own destiny but the fate of the universe itself.
