Cosmic Demon

Chapter 285 Friendly Exchange, Real-World Situation!
Yao Guodong was very cautious about Qin Shi's initiative.

After all, this is the front line. Apart from the creatures that belong to the contaminated area and the completely corrupted, there are also unspeakable taboo beings roaming around.

They projected into the material universe through the Netherworld Rift, and cannot be measured by conventional combat power standards. They are extremely troublesome and difficult to deal with, and belong to the high-risk list.

"I will consider."

Yao Guodong did not refuse; it was a good thing that Xiao Qin was so eager to volunteer.

As the highest-ranking official of Poplar Fortress, he couldn't dampen anyone's spirits.

"Xiao Qin, don't rush. First, stabilize your vitality and take your time to develop. The western front is vast, and there will surely be opportunities for you to shine."

Committee Member Zhou spoke eloquently, successfully calming the volatile Qin's fighting spirit.

He understood the young soldiers' desire to make a name for themselves.

However, before the Governor-General's Office issued its strategic orders, the western front could only adopt a defensive posture.

This is the general strategy.

"Ok."

Xiao Qin realized that "Qin Wuxiang" was influencing him, so he activated the "Void Meditation Method" and his thoughts returned to calm.

Although he was still eager to find someone to practice on, he was no longer as irritable, and the impulse to beat up anyone he didn't like had been suppressed.

Over the next few days, Qin Shi moved into the office building, left the recruit dormitory, and began to enjoy "instructor-level" treatment.

He didn't need to go to the canteen for meals; instead, he had a special meal provided by the poplar fortress city, which was served to him without restraint.

It is said that this is a high-end product that even Lao Fu can't get his hands on more than a few meals of, and it is extremely rare, especially when military supplies are tight.

"Xiao Qin, quickly give me two bites."

Fu Lei's body was mostly unwrapped, except for his chest and abdomen, which were still wrapped a few times.

He's been getting free meals and drinks from Qin Shi lately, which has greatly accelerated his recovery. He's now full of energy and in top form.

"It's reserved for the instructors."

Qin Shi pushed a high-energy food with a total nutritional value of 500 units in front of Fu Lei.

His current daily food allowance is four, including three meals a day plus a late-night snack, which already exceeds the daily consumption of a professional level 5.

"It's delicious!"

Fu Lei picked up his chopsticks, took a few slices of meat, and put them in his mouth, a look of utter enjoyment on his face.

It's not that this nutritious, high-energy food tastes particularly good.

Having just passed the fifth stage of the professional level and undergone a baptism, the extraordinary body naturally craves high-nutrition and high-calorie foods, just as the human body is indiscriminate in its acceptance of sugar and carbohydrates.

It's instinct!

As soon as a few slices of meat entered his mouth, Fu Lei felt his entire body come alive, almost greedily absorbing the nutrients they contained.

cool!

Following Xiao Qin has brought me a good life!

Old Fu was beaming with pride, feeling quite pleased with himself.

The instructors of Fire Scorpion and Iron Fist wouldn't get a piece of this!
“When I was serving in the military, I dreamed of having a meal like this. But I could only enjoy it when I was on a long-range mission and had to make sure my body had enough energy to support several days of intense exertion.”

Fu Lei didn't eat much; he stopped after two bites. He was just there to satisfy his craving; he couldn't possibly be so shameless as to take advantage of the younger generation.

"The instructors can use more. My daily training energy consumption is about 400 units. When not in combat, the calories from four high-energy nutrition meals are actually a bit excessive."

Qin Shi said generously.

After reaching the fifth stage of the professional level, the extraordinary body began to take shape, and it was constantly being consumed.

Their bodies are like a huge metropolitan area; if the power plants cannot supply enough power or are overloaded, they can easily become stagnant or paralyzed.

Therefore, in the absence of sufficient energy supply, many martial arts masters who have reached the fifth dan level will avoid fierce battles.

They prefer to use various methods such as quiet rest, meditation, cultivation, and breathing to preserve and store nutrients in their bodies, which can maintain daily activities and make it easier to deal with emergencies.

"Little Qin, your vitality is ridiculously high, and the energy you can store is also quite high. Eat more. The battlefield is not a fighting ring. If the western front advances in full force, the high-intensity battles that last for more than ten days or even months will be enough to wear down any strong person."

Fu Lei said seriously.

As a veteran, he was very experienced in this area. Large-scale battles often last for months or even longer, and logistical supplies cannot be supplied in time. Many professional-level experts who have crossed the extraordinary level still have to face the dilemma of insufficient supplies.

"Thank you for your guidance, instructor. I understand now."

Qin Shi had already suppressed his "Qin Wuxiang" nature and had become gentle, humble, refined, and easygoing again.

He opened up the five limits, making his body almost a bottomless pit. In addition, by cultivating the "Secret Manual of the Universe's Furnace," he unlocked the body's hidden treasures, making it no problem for him to absorb more than two thousand units of nutrients in a single meal.

Converted to standard energy units for sustaining activities, I can store approximately 19,000 units.

This is more than three times that of a normal professional-level fifth dan.

"Fifteen days of high-intensity, non-stop combat should be my limit."

When Qin Shi chewed on slices of meat, he finished eating. The surging nutrients and calories were absorbed, stored, and integrated into every cell.

"Eating alone is not enough; you need to consume more energy in order to keep making progress."

Qin Shi began to feel the dilemma of cultivation that spanned two paths: the spiritual realm required extraordinary matter to evolve all laws, while the physical realm also needed abundant energy to condense a real scene.

Such a massive rate of resource consumption sounds terrifying.

"I'll ask Lao He another day how he managed to acquire the resources to cultivate himself to the point of spiritual enlightenment and physical transcendence."

This is the kind of scale that could bankrupt even a super conglomerate!

Qin Shi pondered for a moment, then wiped his mouth and smiled at Fu Lei:

"Instructor Fu, I need your help with something."

"What's going on?"

Fu Lei immediately sensed something was wrong. It seemed that the sharp-tongued Xiao Qin had reappeared. He had a strong urge to run away, otherwise the consequences would be dire.

"I haven't been at the fifth dan level for long, and I want to test the results of my training."

Qin Shi relaxed his mind and barely managed to let "Qin Wuxiang" possess him, intending to engage in actual combat.

"I'm still a patient, you should find someone else."

Fu Lei knew perfectly well that Xiao Qin's vitality had stabilized at 277 points, and might have even settled to 280 points in the last few days.

Moreover, this guy's "conversion rate" is exceptionally high, and his combat power even exceeds his life value.

He's not being a sparring partner, he's practically being used as a punching bag!
"I recommend Lao Zhao and Lao Li to you! Lao Zhao from Fire Scorpion is a master of external martial arts, with the thirteenth level of Armored Body Technique at its peak, and he has already transformed into the Titanium Extreme Battle Body!"

Needless to say, Old Li with his iron fist was unmatched back in the day, his powerful punches making him invincible throughout the military region!

Fu Lei directly sold off the instructors of the two training camps. As the saying goes, "better to die than to die," he really didn't want to be beaten up by his own "new recruits," as it would be too embarrassing if word got out.

"Instructor Zhao, Instructor Li, I'll look for them later. Let's start with Instructor Fu."

Qin Shi slowly stood up, his tall figure casting a shadow like a mountain, covering the imposing Fu Lei.

"Please give me your guidance, Instructor Fu."

……

...Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the vast training ground of the Yellow Springs Training Camp, Qin Shi took off his recruit camouflage uniform, put on the instructor's combat uniform, and stood in the huge sandpit in the middle.

A row of new recruits sat to the side, not just from the Yellow Springs Training Camp, but also from Fire Scorpion and Iron Fist.

They stood up straight, their eyes fixed on Qin Shi, filled with anticipation and admiration.

"Old Li, I believe in you. Go all out, don't hold back! Don't let the Iron Fist's might be diminished!"

Fu Lei, lying on the sand, cheered on his "teammates," even though he was already exhausted.

These past few days, Qin Shi's training has been so intense that his bones are almost falling apart. Old Fu has started to lie down and accept the painful reality that the gap between people is just that vast.

"go to hell!"

Instructor Li, known for his iron fist, grumbled and complained. He had clearly agreed to lend people to train the new recruits, but they had turned into punching bags.

Who can bear this!
"Instructor Qin, let's have a peaceful exchange and friendly sparring, and stop when we've reached our goal."

Instructor Li gave advance notice to avoid the other party going too far and ending up with a bruised and swollen face.

"Don't worry, Instructor Li."

Qin Shi nodded:
"I know what I'm doing. Instructor Fu said your extreme style of play is very impressive, and I'd like to learn a thing or two from you!"

Instructor Li glared at Fu Lei. This bastard must have exaggerated the story, otherwise why would Xiao Qin Jiaoyang have his eye on him!
He sighed, roused himself, and grinned:

"To be honest, I also want to know how big the gap is between ordinary people and geniuses! Come on, Instructor Qin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Instructor Li suddenly dove forward, like a fighter jet jet soaring at low altitude, with sand and gravel exploding outwards beneath his feet and visible ripples of air emanating from his body!

Extremely fast!

He was almost a blur, flashing past!

Qin Shi's gaze sharpened as he locked onto Instructor Li, who was rushing towards him. Before the two even exchanged blows, their domains had already clashed.

The atmosphere was compressed by the booming sound, like the thick white waves kicked up by the speedboat as it accelerated!

Click!
Almost instantly, Instructor Li felt the terrifying suffocation brought by 277 points of life force.

The battlefields of the Qin Dynasty were like impregnable fortresses cast from alloy manganese steel!
Punch!

Instructor Li activated his combat technique and suddenly exerted his strength. His arm muscles swelled rapidly, and veins bulged out, resembling earthworms crawling all over his skin!

Layer upon layer of power converged and transmitted, like undulating waves, swirling around the fist!

boom--

The moment Instructor Li threw his punch, his body was propelled by the force, and he burst through the area—or more accurately, he forced his way in.

The platinum-gold light burst apart, like a huge fireball exploding!

Qin Shi finally made a move, gathering power in his palm and striking heavily, simple and unadorned!
This is Qin Wuxiang's fighting style: skillful yet simple, without any fancy moves, using only the purest numerical values ​​to engage in combat!
boom!
Cracks appeared in the space, resembling a giant spider web, crisscrossing each other.

Immediately afterwards, with a "bang", Instructor Li's field collapsed!

The momentum of its forward charge was instantly interrupted, and its body trembled violently, like a car crashing into a wall at full speed. The terrifying kinetic energy almost destroyed everything!
"Oops!"

Instructor Li's expression changed drastically. As his fist and palm collided, an irresistible force struck, almost crushing his muscles, bones, and the entire field!

But just as the violent kinetic energy swept in, a platinum-gold light suddenly unfolded, like a stabilizing force suppressing the vast ocean.

The kinetic energy, enough to shatter the field and destroy the body, melts away like ice and snow.

Only a very small amount of the aftershock caused an impact, leaving Instructor Li feeling numb and unable to move, frozen in place.

He breathed heavily, releasing surging heat, and a life force as powerful as a great river surged through his body.

"What a huge gap!"

Instructor Li smiled bitterly. Both were professional-level fifth dan, but he had no room to struggle against Qin Shi. He could only say that reality was too cruel and dealt a heavy blow to his confidence.

"Old Zhao, you try it, I'm convinced."

Qin Shi didn't exchange pleasantries; he was still savoring the battlefield confrontation with Instructor Li.

The opponent's vitality should be around 250 points, and their characteristics should focus on "burst" or "acceleration".

"Only a field that is completely integrated with the characteristics and absorbs a large enough amount of energy factors to condense a real scene can be called 'invincible'."

Qin Shi pondered that the characteristic was the professional-level master's understanding and comprehension of martial arts, while the field was the perception and implementation of the outside world and the path.

Therefore, the more 'real' the power, the stronger it is!

He began to understand why Lao Qi's "The Only Way Through the Ages" was virtually unrivaled.

Is there anything more real than "oneself"?

"Absolutely true!"

Qin Shi pondered what he should choose as the foundation for his extraordinary field.

Amidst fluctuating emotions, Instructor Zhao of the Fire Scorpion team rubbed his hands together, showing no nervousness despite witnessing the consecutive defeats of Instructors Fu Lei and Li. He casually declared:

"Instructor Qin, I specialize in external martial arts, and I've reached the Great Perfection of the Titanium Golden Body! Go ahead and attack with all your might, and see if I can withstand it!"

Instructor Zhao crossed his arms, his sturdy frame like a city wall, waiting for Qin Shi to launch an attack.

"Is this so?"

Qin Shi raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with excitement. The field he had been controlling expanded, and a platinum-gold light shone forth.

"Since Instructor Zhao has said so, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Two hundred and eighty points of vitality fluctuation, like the scorching heat released by the blazing sun, slowly rose!
It was even more dazzling than the midday sun, so bright it stung my eyes.

"Is this the skill of Instructor Qin?"

"Why is there such a big difference between us, even though we're both new recruits?"

"I heard that Instructor Qin is not even twenty years old yet..."

Qin Shi raised his right palm, straight up to the sky, and white-gold light slowly condensed and contracted, like a small sun being grasped.

The air currents surged, the space trembled, and life force condensed into tangible flames, tightly enveloping the arm.

Bang bang bang bang bang——

Before Qin Shi even made a move, the atmosphere was already torn apart by terrifying explosions resembling Mach rings.

"Forehead……"

Instructor Zhao broke out in a cold sweat immediately.

No?

Does Instructor Qin think of me as a dependent?

Why didn't they use this terrifying killing move when they were fighting Lao Fu and Lao Li?!

"Instructor Qin, I was just joking, please don't take it seriously! Let's have a friendly spar!"

If this deadly move really lands, won't I just disappear from the face of the earth?
"Instructor Zhao, I have bad news..."

Qin Shi held up the white-gold sun in his palm and shook his head, saying:
"When I'm at my peak, I can't control my movements at will."
