High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 116 Return to Qiming, Qin Feng's Terrifying Strength—
On the rooftop terrace of the North Crown Building, a cool night breeze caressed two standing figures.

The dazzling lights of the bustling city, like a starry river, appeared beneath their feet.

"Now, there are only two weeks left before the Qiming Inter-School League officially begins this year."

Lin Yue's voice broke the silence.

She turned her head and looked at the young man beside her, who had undergone a complete transformation in just one year, with a hint of relief in her eyes.

"Your timing for returning is perfect. For the next two weeks, do nothing but rest and completely relax, letting go of the tension and killing intent you had on the battlefield, and getting back to your best condition. Then, go and submit your application."

Her gaze seemed to pierce through the night sky, looking towards a more distant future.

“Obtain the title of ‘Star of Enlightenment,’ and then immediately apply for graduation. With the title of ‘Star of Enlightenment,’ coupled with your terrifying strength and potential, the top martial arts universities in the Canaan Star System will open their doors to you. Only then will your path in martial arts truly be a smooth road.”

"Okay, teacher."

Qin Feng nodded heavily.

"Thank you so much for taking care of me this past year."

He turned around, faced Lin Yue, and bowed solemnly.

This gesture of respect came from the heart.

He knew very well that without Lin Yue's protection and guidance over the past year, he might have died on the cruel battlefield of Purgatory-VII long ago, and he would not have achieved what he has today.

Seeing this, Lin Yue waved her hand and a rare smile appeared on her face.

"Alright, enough with the pretense."

She laughed and said, "I'm acting as your protector because I'm carrying out an imperial mission, which comes with generous contribution points. And when you kill the greenskins, the empire gives me contribution points, which I then convert into grade points and resources for you according to school regulations. All things considered, I, as the teacher, am the one who profits. So, you don't need to thank me."

That's what they say, but Qin Feng knew that Lin Yue's care for him over the past year had long exceeded the scope of an ordinary task.

Whether it was the complete sharing of combat skills or the tireless sparring and guidance when he encountered bottlenecks, he would always remember this kindness.

Some gratitude needs no words.

"Okay, let's go back."

Lin Yue waved her hand, "You've been away for a whole year. I bet your two roommates won't even recognize you when they see you again."

Qin Feng smiled upon hearing this.

He bowed to Lin Yue again, then turned and strode towards the dormitory building.

……

402 Dormitory.

When Qin Feng used his terminal to open that familiar yet unfamiliar door, a long-lost feeling welled up in his heart.

The room was exactly the same as when he left, spotless. Clearly, Qian Duoduo and Shi Potian had been maintaining this small space for him.

He walked to the sofa in the living room, sat down, and the soft touch made his body, which had been tense for a year on the battlefield, feel a sense of relaxation.

Instead of contacting his roommate, he first opened his contacts and dialed the pinned, most familiar number.

It was his father, Qin Dahai.

The communication was quickly established, and a clear holographic image was projected onto the center of the living room.

In the video, the father, Qin Dahai, is sitting in a spacious and bright study. Behind him is a huge bookshelf filled with various professional books on power armor design and mechanical construction.

"Xiaofeng!"

Upon seeing Qin Feng, Qin Dahai's face immediately lit up with a surprised and loving smile.

"dad."

Qin Feng also laughed.

"You...you're back? Back at school?"

Qin Dahai asked somewhat excitedly.

"Yeah, just got back. Mission's over."

"Good, good! It's good that you're back!"

The father asked a series of questions, his eyes full of concern.

"I'm fine, everything's alright. I've gotten quite strong."

Qin Feng replied with a smile, "How's everything at home? How are you feeling?"

"Okay, everything's fine!"

Qin Dahai said happily, "Don't worry, everything is fine at home now! Your uncle, Wang Ming, he's really accomplished!"

When Qin Dahai spoke of his brother-in-law, his tone was filled with pride and joy.

"Ever since you helped him solve the factory's predicament last time, he's been like a lightbulb has gone off, throwing himself into studying power armor design. And you know what? He really has a talent for it! At the end of last year, he successfully passed the Level 1 Power Armor Designer exam! Now, he's working at 'Tiangong Group,' the largest power armor manufacturing company in our Qixing Star, and he even leads a team! I heard he's earning over 200,000 Imperial Credits a month now!"

"He's currently preparing for his Level 2 certificate exam, studying every day and keeping himself very busy. He keeps telling me that when he becomes a senior designer, he'll definitely design the most powerful and personalized power armor for you!"

Upon hearing the news about his uncle, Qin Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"What about the two little ones? How are they?" Qin Feng asked again.

"You don't need to worry about those two!"

Qin Dahai grinned from ear to ear, "I don't know if it's because our ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke, but their cultivation talent is much stronger than your uncle and I were back then! They're only in the second year of junior high school, and their vitality index has already reached 0.8!"

“I reckon that in another year, when they're in their final year of junior high, their vitality index will definitely break through 1.2! At that time, I'll make sure they both apply to Qiming No. 1 High School! To follow in your footsteps as their older brother!”

"Good, not bad, really not bad."

Qin Feng nodded heavily.

"By the way, Dad, what about you? Did you buy the medicine I told you about last time? Did you use it?"

"It's being used, of course it's being used."

A relieved smile appeared on Qin Dahai's face. "You know what, those medicines really work. I feel even better now than when I was younger. So, your dad has started practicing martial arts again."

“I don’t seek any killing or fighting. I’ve had enough of fighting and killing in this life. Now I’m cultivating to prolong my life and improve my health. I think that if I can live a few more years and be in better health, I can watch you brothers go higher and fly farther.”

These simple and unadorned words brought tears to Qin Feng's eyes.

The father and son chatted for a long time.

Finally, Qin Feng said, "Dad, please tell my uncles and the others. The Qiming Inter-School League will start in about two weeks. I will be participating this time, so please remember to watch."

"Okay! Okay! I'll definitely watch it! I'll have your uncle take a day off, and our whole family will cheer you on!"

Qin Dahai said excitedly.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Qin Feng hung up the call.

The holographic image in the center of the living room disappeared, and the room returned to silence.

at this time.

"Click——"

The dormitory door was pushed open from the outside.

Qian Duoduo and Shi Potian walked in from outside, chatting and laughing.

"...Let me tell you, I ran into that guy with the whip in the private domain today. He's a real monster. That whip technique is impossible to defend against. I..."

Qian Duoduo's words came to an abrupt end halfway through.

Both he and Shi Potian's gazes fell on the figure sitting on the living room sofa, slowly raising his head.

For an instant.

A chilling, bone-piercing killing intent, seemingly originating from the deepest hell, swept towards the two of them like a tangible wave!

It is a pure and extreme killing will that can only be condensed from countless life-and-death battles amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
Qian Duoduo's body suddenly stiffened!
The smile on his face froze instantly, replaced by a deathly pale expression!

Every hair on his body stood on end, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, almost stopping its beating!

He felt like a rabbit being targeted by a prehistoric Tyrannosaurus Rex, unable to even muster the slightest thought of resistance!

Shi Potian, who was beside him, reacted even more violently!
His perception of murderous intent was far more acute than Qian Duoduo's.

The moment he sensed that murderous aura, the energy within his body instinctively and frantically began to circulate!

He instinctively adopted a defensive stance, his eyes fixed on the figure on the sofa, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

He felt as if he had been locked onto by a lurking, prehistoric beast.

If I make the slightest movement, I will be torn to shreds in the next second!
The entire dormitory fell into a suffocating silence.

Only when the figure on the sofa slowly blinked did the terrifying killing intent emanating from him recede rapidly like a tide.

"Cough cough."

Seeing the two men's pale and tense expressions, Qin Feng felt a little embarrassed.

"That... is me."

"Holy crap!"

Only upon hearing that familiar voice did Qian Duoduo seem to come back to life. His legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground. Leaning against the wall, he gasped for breath and called out with lingering fear, "Old... Old Qin?! It's you back?!"

"What have you been doing all year?! You didn't actually go to the battlefield, did you?!"

Qian Duoduo pointed at Qin Feng, her voice trembling, "What you did just now was like crawling out of a pile of dead bodies. The murderous aura you exuded was impossible to conceal!"

Shi Potian slowly lowered his defensive stance and let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked at Qin Feng, nodded solemnly, and acknowledged, "He definitely went to the battlefield. And it's the kind of battlefield where people actually die. It's obvious."

He paused, then added, "Just a moment ago, I could clearly sense that Lao Qin... had the idea of ​​killing us."

"Cough cough."

Qin Feng's expression became even more awkward.

He scratched his head and explained, "Indeed... there are some aftereffects. Spending so much time on the battlefield makes me easily startled by the slightest noise around me. When you pushed the door open just now, I subconsciously treated you as enemies."
