High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 104 Mission Code: Meat Grinder
……

Meanwhile, in another, more spacious, advanced martial arts room.

Seven or eight senior high school students are gathered here.

In the center of the field, Feng Ruyun was engaging in sparring with another senior student.

Feng Ruyun held a horse-slaying saber, his swordsmanship was fierce and domineering, and each slash was accompanied by a heavy whistling sound.

His opponents fought back desperately, but were forced into a series of defeats.

"Brother Feng's 'Blazing Blade' has improved again! It feels like he's not far from mastering it!"

"Yes, he's too strong! With Brother Feng's strength, he's absolutely a shoo-in for next year's 'Dawn Star'!"

The older students watching from the sidelines offered their compliments and praises.

A few minutes later, the sparring session ended.

Feng Ruyun sheathed his sword and stood there, his aura calm and composed, with a confident smile on his face.

He looked at Sun He, who had just walked in, and asked gently, "He, is there something you need?"

Sun He nodded, glanced at the others around him, and seemed somewhat hesitant.

"It's alright, we're all brothers, just speak freely."

Feng Ruyun said nonchalantly.

Sun He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Feng, I'm here to advise you on something."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

“Give up the ‘Rising Star’ award for next year.”

Sun He said, enunciating each word clearly, "If you apply for graduation now, you can definitely catch the last batch of Starry Sky Martial Arts University's entrance exams this year. There's no need to wait another year. With your strength, you can even compete for Canaan Starry Sky Martial Arts University."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire martial arts room fell silent.

All eyes were fixed on Sun He in astonishment.

Feng Ruyun's smile froze. He frowned and asked, puzzled, "Ahe, what do you mean? Why do you want me to give up?"

"Yeah, Sun He! Are you kidding me?"

An older student nearby couldn't help but say, "Brother Feng's vitality index has reached 30.0! Moreover, he has mastered two perfect killing techniques, the Blazing Blade Technique and the Iron Wall Fist Technique! He is definitely the strongest contender for next year's 'Dawn Star General'! You know how valuable the honor of 'Dawn Star General' is, how can you just give up like that?"

Everyone thought Sun He's words were incomprehensible.

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Sun He said bitterly, "Because Qin Feng will participate in next year's competition."

“I knew he would participate.”

Feng Ruyun's face darkened. "You think I'm inferior to him?"

"No, that's not what I meant."

Sun He hurriedly explained, stammering, "I'm afraid...afraid..."

"Afraid he'll defeat me? And cause me to waste a whole year?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ruyun suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

The other senior students also laughed.

"Ah He, did that kid mess up your brain?"

An older student joked, "He's only been in school for four months. Even if he wins the Rookie of the Year award and has some lucky break, he can't possibly threaten Brother Feng next year, right?"

"that is!"

Another person chimed in, "You can't beat him because he just won the Rookie of the Year award, which caused his strength to surge, catching you off guard. Do you really think you can win the 'Dawn General' title in your second year? That's never happened before!"

They all assumed that Sun He was acting as a mediator because he had a good relationship with Qin Feng.

Seeing the dismissive smiles on everyone's faces, Sun He opened his mouth, wanting to explain Qin Feng's abnormally unreasonable strength.

But Feng Ruyun waved his hand to stop him.

Feng Ruyun's face had turned completely cold, and his eyes became sharp as knives as he stared intently at Sun He.

"I, Feng Ruyun, ranked first in the Qiming Star exam and first in the monthly entrance exam. I entered the second year of high school after two months. Three months after entering school, I participated in the Qiming school league for the first time and won the title of Rookie King that year. The second time I participated, I entered the top 500 in the senior student competition. The third time I participated, I entered the top 10 in the senior student competition. Due to bad luck, I missed the Qiming Star title..."

"Even with my resume, Feng Ruyun, it took me four times to participate in the Qiming School League before I was confident of winning the Qiming Star title."

"And you think Qin Feng can win the Qiming General Star title on his second try? His resume isn't much different from mine!"

Feng Ruyun took a deep breath and patted Sun He on the shoulder.

“Ah He, we are brothers who have been through thick and thin together, so I will take your words as nonsense today.”

"But if you dare to say such things again, you will disturb my martial arts heart..."

"Then I'd rather not have you as a friend."

The cold words made Sun He's heart sink.

He knew that if he continued, he would only completely enrage Feng Ruyun and destroy their friendship.

Sun He could only shut his mouth and swallow all his words.

"Ugh……"

Sun He sighed helplessly in his heart.

He knew that, in Feng Ruyun's eyes, his persuasion was an insult to his power.

But the reason he risked being disliked or even having a falling out with his friends to say these words was because he regarded Feng Ruyun as a true brother.

Back then, during the senior student competition, it was Feng Ruyun who stood up for him without hesitation and beat that student from Jinlong Martial Arts High School to death on the stage, avenging him.

He would always remember this kindness. That's why he didn't want to see his proud friend crash into Qin Feng's insurmountable wall on that highly anticipated stage next year.

Because that guy... is a complete and utter pervert!

Qin Feng had no idea that after he left, Sun He, because of his words, risked breaking with his best friend and made a doomed attempt at persuasion.

At this moment, he was immersed in his unwavering cultivation rhythm.

That night, when the last bit of spiritual energy was exhausted in the operation of the "Emperor's Meditation Method," Qin Feng ended his entire day of cultivation.

He didn't go to sleep immediately, but sat on the floor of his private martial arts room, quietly reviewing his performance.

The benefits of his gold standard human level II physical attributes are obvious.

Whether it's strength, speed, or training efficiency, they have all achieved a comprehensive and qualitative leap.

However, a new problem also emerged at the same time.

He discovered that his consumption rate of various resources containing psionic energy had become unusually fast.

He could extract all the energy from a mid-level psionic potion that would take an ordinary level two martial artist several days to fully digest and absorb in just one day. Even a high-level psionic potion would only last a few more days.

A B-grade energy meal could only barely make him feel full.

Simply put, his "engine" is so powerful that it results in an astonishingly high "fuel consumption".

"At the current rate of consumption, the B-level contract resources issued by the academy each month are barely enough."

"If my Intermediate Imperial Body Forging Method is perfected and I undergo a second life evolution, and then I go to the Enlightenment Thunder Pool again to raise my physical aptitude to the Gold Standard Human Level III... then, the resources of the B-level contract will probably be far from enough."

Qin Feng silently calculated in his mind.

Improving one's vitality index is like building a ship, while physical potential is like the ship's blueprint level. The stronger the ship, the more spiritual energy resources are needed to build it.

"It seems I still need to find a way to accumulate GPA points. Either I upgrade the resource contract to A grade, or I directly use my GPA points to exchange for the resources I need at the school's exchange center."

He glanced at his data panel again; his vitality index had reached 19.82.

"At the current rate, it will take at most two or three more days to break through the 20.0 mark."

He thought for a moment, then opened the wrist terminal that had been transformed from the subspace network pass, preparing to contact Teacher Lin Yue to apply for early departure from the school to Qiming Leichi.

However, the moment his finger touched Lin Yue's profile picture, a message he had just received from Lin Yue popped up automatically.

It was a task briefing with an extremely formal format.

Mission Code Name: Meat Grinder

[Task Level: A (Long-term)]

[Mission Location: Cardia Sector, Planet Purgatory-VII]

[Mission Background: The war between the Empire and the Ork skins on the planet Inferno-VII has lasted for 150 years. The entire planet has become a bloody meat grinder, ravaged by war. Countless Ork skins, driven by their "Waaagh!" instinct, grow stronger with each battle. The Empire needs its bravest warriors to travel to this planet, hunt down the strongest Ork skins, and curb their growing power.]

[Mission Objective: Free Hunt.]

[GPA Reward Rules:]

[Killing a level 1 green-skinned creature (with less than 10.0 HP) yields no performance points.]

[Kill a level 2 green-skinned creature (health 10.0-20.0), each kill rewards 10 points.]

[-Kill a level 3 greenskin (health 20.0-30.0), each kill rewards 100 points.]

[Note: The promotion standard for Level A contracts is 10000 GPA points.]

[Start time: Ten days from now.]

Qin Feng's eyes narrowed as he looked at the mission briefing, which was filled with the scent of blood and fire.

A Grade A contract requires 10,000 performance points.

According to the reward rules for this mission, it means that he needs to independently kill one hundred level 3 green-skinned beasts with a vitality index of 20.0 or higher.

This is no small feat.

Qin Feng pondered for a moment and then replied to the message directly.

[Qin Feng]: Teacher Lin, received. Before the mission begins, I would like to request permission to travel to the Qiming Thunder Pool to improve my physical aptitude.

The message was sent, and Lin Yue's reply arrived in less than ten seconds.

[Lin Yue]: Sure. The latest batch of Qiming Thunder Pool access permissions will be available tomorrow and will last for seven days. There's enough time. We'll meet at the top floor of Beimian Building at 8:00 AM tomorrow, and I'll take you there.

"it is good."

Qin Feng replied with a single word and then closed the terminal.

The plan underwent some minor changes due to this unexpected task.

"If we set off tomorrow, my vitality index will probably not reach 20.0, and the second life evolution will not be able to be triggered."

"However, a small boat is easy to turn around, so there's no need to rigidly follow the original plan."

Qin Feng has a very good attitude.

"Perhaps, if I first raise my physical aptitude to the gold standard human level III, and then trigger the life evolution provided by the panel, the combination of the two could produce unexpected effects, or even... surpass the limits of humanity?"

A bold guess popped into his mind.

After all, he still didn't know what the effects of the [Life Evolution] feature provided by the system panel were.

Since that's the case, let nature take its course.

First go to the Enlightenment Thunder Pool, then proceed with life evolution.
