Devour: Can you also draw entries from clone projection worlds?

Wei Wen was unaware that he was being targeted by Babata. Although he had somewhat anticipated it, if he knew that Luo Feng had memorized his name inside the Golden Horned Beast, he might be happy for a moment. Of course, only for a moment, after all... he also had a cheat ability.

Wei Wen opened his eyes and released his domain, bringing everything within a 1,700-foot radius into his perception.

Atkin's men were still downstairs, two cars, six men, at the level of high-ranking generals, which he considered insignificant, but he couldn't make a move yet.

These people are just pawns. If we eliminate them, Atkin will send more and stronger men.

If he takes action, he will inevitably try to find a way to solve the problem once and for all, making Atkin, Yan Hai, and Nehru pay a huge price, such as death.

Wei Wen withdrew his domain, stood up, and found that everything was normal on Xu Xin's side and Luo Hua's side was also stable. He wanted to meet Li Dawei before projecting his clone again today.

Despite being busy, the two met. Li Dawei looked up at Wei Wen, his gaze complex: "You've gotten stronger again, kid?!"

Wei Wen did not deny it, nor did he need to: "Luo Hua contacted me, and Xu Xin also contacted me."

Li Dawei's brow twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "What did they say?"

"Luo Hua wants to become stronger, as for Xu Xin... he didn't say."

Li Dawei was silent for a while, then nodded: "Luo Hua's talent is not in martial arts. With the resources that Luo Feng brought back before, becoming a planetary-level martial artist is not a problem. However, his strongest weapon is still his brain."

Neither of them mentioned Xu Xin again. Since she hadn't said anything, they felt awkward asking her directly.

"What's been happening with Atkin lately?" Wei Wen asked.

Li Dawei leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples: "They're holding back, but not giving up. They're brewing some underhanded tricks. Atkin is very shrewd. He's already toned down a lot since he knows you, a planetary-level martial artist, are secretly protecting Xu Xin. He's waiting, waiting for you to make a mistake, or waiting for you to lower your guard. Then he'll still make his move."

Wei Wen pondered for a moment: "What about Yan Hai and Nehru?"

"Yan Hai is currently negotiating with several families in the HR Alliance, trying to acquire their businesses. Nehru is carrying out a purge within the Thunder Martial Arts School, replacing disobedient individuals one by one." Li Dawei's tone was heavy. "These three guys, one wants power, one wants money, and one wants fame. Together, they've made a mess of the world."

As for why no one cares, they all know that the two masters are still asleep, the War God Palace is closed again, and those three guys are the number one among the remaining Earth planetary-level martial artists, one is number one, and the other is number one mentalist. What can they do?

Wei Wen didn't say anything more. He stood up to say goodbye to Li Dawei, but stopped abruptly at the door, turned back, and said, "Wait a few more days..."

Li Dawei was stunned for a moment, not understanding why they had to wait a few days. What changes could possibly happen in a few days?

Wei Wen didn't say what he was waiting for, because as long as he could project his clone again, his strength would rise to another level, and then he could turn the tide in one fell swoop.

Fourth-tier planetary level wasn't enough for him; he wanted fifth, sixth, and seventh tiers, the peak of the planetary level, or even the Eternal level—the kind of power that could kill those three guys with a single slap.

By then, all three of them will be dead. He said even Jesus coming wouldn't help.

Wei Wen pulled himself out of his thoughts, turned and walked towards the rented house. His domain was automatically released, and everything within a 1,700-foot radius was within his perception.

Back in his rented room, Wei Wen closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, opened the system panel, and glanced at it. The projection interface lit up; the world of "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" had been closed, and the new projection world had not yet been unlocked.

System notification: "Countdown to the next projection world unlock: seven days. Do you wish to unlock it early, or re-enter the world of 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty'?"

"Unlocked early? The key point is there's no mention of any price to pay. As for the world of 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty'... forget it."

He has no interest in re-entering the same world for the time being; besides, seven days is only a short time.

He could then thoroughly consolidate the gains he brought back from the martial arts world and refine his domain and artistic conception to the point where they could exert their maximum power in the main world.

He also wanted to visit Luo Hua and Xu Xin, mainly because he now had some ability to protect himself.

Over the next few days, Wei Wen had a very fulfilling time. Apart from occasionally contacting Luo Hua and Xu Xin, he locked himself in his rented room to consolidate the cultivation he had brought back from the martial arts world.

The foundation of a fourth-level planetary-level cultivator needs to be repeatedly strengthened, the domain needs to be meticulously controlled, and the artistic conception needs to be honed to the point of being able to control it freely.

Every morning, I meditate for two hours to activate my genetic energy; in the afternoon, I refine my domain and state of mind; and in the evening, I meditate for another two hours.

He filled his cultivation time to the brim, like a precise clock.

It wasn't because he was in a hurry, but because he knew that the main world was his foundation. Although he had reached the fourth level of the planetary level, it was hard to say how much of his combat power he could actually unleash.

The seven-day waiting period passed in the blink of an eye, giving him just enough time to unleash his full potential.

The next projection world will unlock soon, and he needs to adjust his strength to its best state as much as possible before then.

On the sixth night, Wei Wen was meditating when his communicator suddenly rang.

A message from Li Dawei: "Atkins has made his move."

Wei Wen suddenly opened his eyes, and the range of his domain's perception instantly expanded to its maximum. Everything was normal within 1,700 feet; Atkins's men were still there, and Luo Feng's villa was perfectly normal.

He replied to Li Dawei with a message: "What do you mean?"

Li Dawei quickly replied: "It wasn't a move against Xu Xin and her group, but against the core families of the HR Alliance. Tonight, Atkin, together with Yan Hai, swallowed up three major families in one fell swoop. The Xu family was among them, and Luo Hua also made moves behind the scenes, but he couldn't stop everyone by himself. Xu Xin is fine for now, but the Xu family's businesses are already being targeted."

Wei Wen's heart sank suddenly, then relaxed. It was just a few properties; he didn't care about them at all.

But this might not be a good sign, indicating that Atkin and his group could become increasingly reckless, and he certainly doesn't have much time left.

"I'll be right there." Wei Wen thought for a moment, then put on his coat and went out the door.

The streets were deserted in the dead of night, and the streetlights illuminated the entire street as if it were daytime.

Wei Wen took a single step that covered dozens of feet, arriving at Xu Xin's villa in less than three minutes.

The Silver Guard was still standing at the door, his blue electronic eyes scanning his body. The lights in the villa were still on. Wei Wen walked to the door and rang the doorbell.

The door opened quickly, and Xu Xin stood behind it, wearing pajamas and a coat. Her face was a little pale, but her eyes were calm.

"Wei Wen, you know?"

Wei Wen nodded, and Xu Xin stepped aside to let him in. There was another person in the living room, Luo Hua.

He was sitting on the sofa, with a laptop on the coffee table in front of him, the data on the screen jumping rapidly.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, as if waging a silent war.

"How is the situation?" Wei Wen asked.

Luo Hua didn't even look up: "The Xu family's assets were preserved at 80%, but 20% was taken by Atkins' people. A significant portion of those 20% were core assets, which will be difficult to recover in the short term."

What Wei Wen really wanted to say was that some things should be given up, and those people would definitely pay back double in the end.

"Brother Wei," Luo Hua suddenly looked up at Wei Wen, "you might need to keep a close eye on the villa area. I'm afraid that once Atkin gets a taste of success, he'll make his move directly next."

Wei Wen nodded.

Wei Wen sat in the villa until dawn, Xu Xin fell asleep on the sofa, and Luo Hua leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

He stood up and walked out of the living room. He stood in the courtyard of the villa for a while, as the sun rose from the east, turning the entire sky golden red.

The domain was released, and everything was normal within 1,700 feet. Atkin's men were still there, and the people in the car had changed, but the number remained the same.

He withdrew his domain, turned, and went inside.

It was almost evening of the seventh day when Wei Wen opened the system panel and saw that the projection interface was already lit up.

The countdown had reached zero, and a new projection world had been unlocked. His gaze swept across the list.

There is one world of intermediate martial arts, two worlds of advanced martial arts, two worlds of immortal cultivation, and two worlds of fantasy.

He thought about it for a moment, then decided not to rush into a choice and would decide tomorrow.

He has one more night, enough time to make final preparations.
