High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

"What? Feng'er, are you going back to Yongshang City?" Chen Ma asked hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuo, who had been avoiding eye contact, looked at Chen Feng with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"No, after I've settled you in, I'll apply to our captain to go to the Snowstorm City as a special envoy. I might stay there for a while."

"The Snow City-State, I've heard the environment there is extremely harsh. Why would you want to go there?" Mr. Chen asked, puzzled.

"Because my future career development will likely begin there, Dad... Mom, please trust my choice as much as possible. I am now a Heavenly Rank expert. I promise that what happened before will never happen again," Chen Feng said.

Of course, Chen Feng couldn't tell anyone that the Baifei insectoid race was about to descend.

After all, a super-powerful Zerg swarm with Tier 3 Zerg warships already has a collective deterrent power comparable to that of the Purple Lieutenant Zerg.

"But...but..." Chen Ma was still hesitating about something.

"Hey, Mom and Dad, you'd better stop talking... Since my brother made this choice, he must have his reasons."

Just then, Chen Shuo, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

Chen Shuo's voice was cold and indifferent, still with that aloof tone.

He didn't give Chen Feng the slightest bit of a friendly look, exuding a sense of detachment that seemed to say, "I'm just too lazy to persuade him."

However, Chen Shuo quickly added half a sentence casually.

"From childhood to adulthood, when has he ever listened to anyone's advice about what he wants to do? It's no use trying to stop him. Now that he's reached the Heavenly Rank, the harsh environment of the Snowstorm City shouldn't be a problem for him. Your concern is pointless."

Hearing this, Chen's mother and father exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with relief.

The youngest son, Chen Shuo, has always been gentle and has been arguing with his older brother for so long.

When it came to the crucial moment, he still remembered his brother's kindness.

The fact that the two brothers can be like this is better than anything else.

"Alright, Chen Feng, you're all grown up now, it's time for you to have your own way of doing things. The family received the remittance yesterday, so you don't need to worry about things at home for now. Once we've settled things in, just go and take care of your business."

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Feng turned his head and his gaze fell on Chen Shuo again.

The boy remained in the same sitting posture, his cold profile taut, yet his eyes still lingered on Chen Feng with a hint of reluctance.

When Chen Shuo saw Chen Feng looking at him, he instinctively wanted to hide to the side, but he held back in the end.

"While I'm away, please take good care of Mom and Dad. Also, the studies at the Martial God Academy are quite demanding, so don't just focus on studying hard and ruin your health; that would be counterproductive." Chen Feng's tone was calm, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Chen Feng's words weren't particularly sentimental, but they conveyed all his approval in simple, unpretentious language.

Chen Shuo remained silent for two seconds before slowly nodding.

"Just don't be reckless and cause trouble when you're out there, so that your parents won't have to worry about you day and night."

"Okay. I'm relieved to have you at home," Chen Feng said with a smile.

......

Upon returning to the Cangxuan Fortress military headquarters office area.

Chen Feng knocked on the door of the temporary office where Zhang Ce was located.

"Captain, everything at home has been settled, and I'm ready to leave at any time." Chen Feng's tone was crisp and decisive.

Zhang Ce looked up at Chen Feng, his expression more somber than usual.

After a long pause, Zhang Ce leaned back in his chair and got straight to the point: "Don't rush off yet. There are some things I need to clarify with you."

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Ce projected a virtual map of the snow-covered city-state into the space beside the two of them.

"The environment of the Snowstorm City-State is not just ordinary freezing cold and blizzards; it is a realm distorted by the interweaving of radiation from extraterrestrial galaxies and local laws. It not only wears down the sea of ​​consciousness but may also gnaw at the physical body. I am not sure if it will have an adverse effect on your innate potential."

Chen Feng nodded.

"I've heard Xiaoxue mention this before. My current rank is Heaven-level expert, and my physical resistance is far superior to that of ordinary Fengxue clan members. At the very least, my lifespan will be much longer than theirs."

Zhang Ce smiled and shook his head: "You're really optimistic. And then there's the issue of the posting regulations."

Zhang Ce withdrew his hand, his tone becoming even more serious.

"A special envoy's term is for a whole year. Unless the city-state is attacked and on the verge of falling, or the military issues a top-level emergency summons, they will not be allowed to return to the Great Xia territory without authorization. Your parents and younger brother are all in Qian Yuan Shang City. If anything happens, you won't even be able to get back in time."

Having said all this, it's a heartfelt reminder.

Zhang Ce's gaze towards Chen Feng softened, losing its previous seriousness.

"Chen Feng, sometimes you don't just focus on the road ahead. If you act impulsively, you can still back out now. But if I submit your application, you'll have to bear all the consequences."

The office was silent for a few seconds, with only the faint light from the virtual screen reflecting on their faces.

Chen Feng's expression remained unchanged as he met the other man's gaze. His tone was calm yet his words were firm: "Captain Zhang, I've thought all of this through. The Snowstorm City-State is the front line, and someone has to guard it. I'm mentally prepared for the risks of the Illusionary Realm and I'm confident I can handle it on my own. My family is also settled, so I have no worries."

He nodded slightly and placed the application form in his hand on Zhang Ce's desk with proper posture.

"My application to go to the Snow City is not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Please approve it, Captain."
