High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 173 Fifth Level of Qi Integration! The Path of Cultivation Ahead!

When Professor Yu Han's heavy admonition about "the number of failures" was deeply etched into Qin Feng's mind like a brand, he finally returned from the tranquil bamboo forest and sea of ​​clouds.

What it reveals to Qin Feng is the unknown, bloody, and cruel truth of the path to a higher level of life in the future.

He remembered this advice and kept all the warnings and lessons in his heart.

With a swift movement, Qin Feng returned to the Canaan Newcomer Cup arena, which was still bustling with noise and cheers.

The fourth-tier competition has concluded, but the battle between the fifth and sixth tiers is only just beginning to intensify.

When Qin Feng reappeared in the stands where his friends were seated, the atmosphere in the stadium was completely different from when he left.

This time, he was no longer the center of attention.

He was just an ordinary spectator, part of the crowd.

This time, his mindset has also undergone a complete transformation.

He put aside all thoughts of his impending seclusion and focused all his attention on the match before him.

Completely focused and meticulous.

The last time he sat here watching the rookie cup was thirty years ago.

At that time, he had just entered school ten years ago, and his vitality index had barely exceeded 20 points, barely enough to reach the threshold of senior year.

At that time, when he looked up at the battles in the Level 5 arena, he felt completely bewildered, as if gods were fighting.

The surge of spiritual energy unleashed by those level-five martial artists with every gesture, and the ever-changing trajectories of their killing moves, were so fast in his eyes that they were nothing more than blurry shards of light and shadow, completely beyond his comprehension of the profound mysteries they contained.

And now...

When Qin Feng's gaze returned to the battle platform in the fifth-level competition zone where fierce battles were taking place, the whole world seemed different to him.

On the platform, two level-five martial artists, both with a vitality index exceeding 1000 points, are engaged in a fierce battle.

One man wielded a heavy axe, his movements sweeping and powerful, each strike generating a violent gust of wind that seemed poised to cleave the platform in two.

The other figure was ghostly, wielding two swords, weaving through the gaps in the axe shadows, the sword light as bright as the moon, ruthless and deadly.

To the average student, this was an incredibly thrilling and dazzling showdown.

However, all of this appeared incredibly clear and even somewhat slow to Qin Feng's eyes.

He could clearly see that when the heavy axe warrior swung his third axe, he forced a change of move, causing his right shoulder muscles to stiffen for a mere 0.003 seconds.

He could clearly see that when the dual-wielding warrior dodged for the seventh time, the angle at which his left foot landed deviated by 0.5 degrees, which weakened his subsequent explosive power by at least 10%.

He could even clearly deduce that if the dual-wielding warrior had seized that opening and abandoned attacking the opponent's waist and abdomen, instead attacking the opponent's axe-wielding wrist, then the battle would have ended ten seconds ago.

Countless flaws, countless mistakes, countless better options...

All of this, like the standard answers circled in red in a textbook, appeared in his mind on its own, crystal clear.

This feeling is amazing.

This means that his current combat skills and vision have surpassed those of these two level-five martial artists.

"Most level 5 martial artists only practice advanced Qi-opening techniques."

Qin Feng silently analyzed the situation in his mind.

"They have opened all 108 acupoints, and their foundation is already established. Even if they complete the subsequent merging of acupoints, their starting point for vitality index is only 1080 points. But mine is 3600 points. This more than three-fold difference in vitality results in a comprehensive surpassing of neural reaction speed, dynamic vision, and cognitive calculation ability."

With this "lower-dimensional attack" mentality, Qin Feng watched the competition in the five-level competition area with great interest.

Soon, he saw a familiar name on the list of the top 100 advancing to the next round – Shi Dang.

Shi Dang's opponent was a martial artist who had also cultivated a superior-grade Qi-opening technique and possessed a control-level killing technique that was no weaker than Shi Dang's.

The battle begins.

Shi Dang roared, unleashing the full power of his physical body, which originated from the bloodline of the Stone Man, with a relentless barrage of attacks.

However, his opponent was more composed and stronger than him.

After hundreds of rounds of fierce fighting, Shi Dang was caught off guard and his opponent seized a tiny opening. A sharp sword finger struck an acupoint on his chest, causing a burst of spiritual energy and instantly defeating him.

The moment the referee announced the result, Shi Dang froze on the spot.

He lowered his head, his fists were clenched, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Shi Dang's original goal was to win the championship.

Because he has now completed the Qi Integration and has also mastered several level-one killing techniques.

As a result, they failed to make it into the top 100!
When the cruel reality of "stopping at the top 100" truly arrived, the immense sense of loss and resentment still overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

His proud stoneman bloodline didn't seem to give him much of an advantage here.

Shi Dang's physical attributes, converted to imperial standards, are only equivalent to "Gold Standard Human Grade I".

Furthermore, the "Control Realm" killing technique he possessed was not a rare ability in this place where true geniuses gathered.

Which contestant who made it into the top 100 doesn't have a secret weapon?

Qin Feng looked at the familiar figure on the platform, who was dejected and looked distressed, and just stared at him silently without saying a word.

He knew that this was a hurdle that Shi Dang had to face and overcome on his own.

In the Canaan Starry Sky Martial Arts University, no one can live forever in the glory of the past.

This place is full of geniuses, all striving to outdo each other.

When the finals of the fifth-level competition came to an end and the champion was determined, Qin Feng stood up immediately.

As for the upcoming Level 6 competition...

He simply looked up and glanced at it from afar.

That battle platform, which belonged to a level six martial artist, was no longer simply a clash of physical strength and technique.

Mental power, like invisible tentacles, is interfering with reality!

That fighting style, that way of using power, is something from a completely different dimension for Qin Feng at the moment.

Qin Feng couldn't understand it at all.

He was very self-aware, and after realizing that he could not obtain any useful information from the Level 6 competition, Qin Feng did not hesitate to leave.

……

Outside the stadium, everyone is about to part ways.

"Old Qin, are you going back to seclusion again?"

Xiong Yanfu asked curiously.

"Go back and go into seclusion for a short period of time. It will take at least six months, or at most one or two years. Just try to achieve the desired effect, that's all."

Qin Feng smiled and told the truth.

"Alright, good luck then. We'll have a good drink together when you get out!"

Lei Meng stepped forward and patted Qin Feng on the shoulder forcefully.

Temu remained as concise as ever, simply nodding emphatically at Qin Feng: "Waiting for you."

Shi Potian stood aside, looking at Qin Feng, and laughed, "Wait until I catch up with you."

"Wait for you."

Qin Feng smiled and said goodbye to his close friends one by one.

……

I returned to that familiar, long-lost single dormitory room.

The room was as clean and empty as when he left it.

Without taking any extra rest, Qin Feng sat cross-legged in the center of the cultivation room, focused his mind, and opened the interface of the Imperial Trading House.

His goal was crystal clear.

In the search bar, he typed in the name he had been waiting for.

【The Great Sun Union Method】

The search results popped up instantly.

It was an ancient jade slip, its entire surface a dark gold color, seemingly forged from the true fire of the sun, quietly floating on the virtual display stand.

Below it, an astonishing price was listed.

Price: 7000 contribution points

There was not a trace of hesitation in Qin Feng's eyes.

He stretched out his finger and pressed down hard on the bright red "Buy" button.

[Confirm payment of 7000 contribution points to purchase the "Great Sun Union Technique"?]

"confirm."

The next second, his personal account balance plummeted.

The dark golden jade slip transformed into a stream of light and instantly disappeared into his subspace network panel, turning into a massive amount of information that formed a holographic video tutorial that slowly unfolded.

After purchasing the core cultivation technique, Qin Feng did not stop.

He opened the trading post again and, with practiced ease, entered the potion section.

This time, he did not buy any of the intermediate or advanced psionic potions.

Instead, they directly focused their attention on a higher level of cultivation resources specifically prepared for fifth-level martial artists.

[Superior Psychic Potion]

[Efficacy: Contains high-purity, high-density spiritual energy particles, which can quickly replenish the energy needed for a level 5 martial artist's Qi Integration cultivation.]

【Price: 10 contribution points/piece】

"Buy 10 first and try them out."

Qin Feng made his plans and placed an order.

Another 100 contribution points were allocated.

After doing all this, he finally glanced at his account, which had shrunk considerably.

[Contribution Points Balance: 4109 point]

"There are still a little over four thousand left, which is enough for now."

Qin Feng closed the trading platform interface and focused all his attention back on himself.

Instead of immediately beginning the union of the senses, he first carefully studied the newly purchased "Great Sun Union Method" from beginning to end dozens of times, until every word and every detail was thoroughly imprinted into the depths of his soul.

Then, he closed his eyes and began a new round of tedious and long... asceticism.

This time, his goal is to get started with the "Great Sun Union Technique".

However, the difficulty of cultivation far exceeded his expectations.

This cultivation technique demands far more mental strength than any other technique he had ever practiced before!
He had to maintain a high level of concentration at all times, using his meager mental energy to sense the complex and profound connections between the 360 ​​major acupoints in his body, which were like the orbits of stars, and then slowly activate them—a task that was extremely difficult.

This process is tedious, boring, and extremely mentally taxing.

Time seemed to lose its meaning during this period of seclusion.

one day.

Ten days.

One month.

Three months.

Six months passed quietly, like flowing water.

During the past six months, Qin Feng worked almost non-stop, devoting all his energy to comprehending the "Great Sun Union Technique".

Finally, just before his mental energy was almost exhausted, the number representing his proficiency on his "Heaven Rewards Diligence" panel finally, with difficulty, jumped from "9" to "10".

【The Great Sun Union Technique (Introduction)】

[Proficiency: 10/1000]

It took him a full six months just to get started!

Qin Feng exhaled a long breath, his face showing no joy, but rather a solemn expression.

After mastering the basics of cultivation, he didn't stop. He immediately took out the [Superior Spiritual Energy Potion] he had bought earlier and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's now!"

With a thought, Qin Feng endured the stinging pain from his stretched meridians and began to try to merge the two most basic and closely connected acupoints among the three hundred and sixty Great Sun Acupoints in his body, following the most basic method recorded in the introductory chapter of the "Great Sun Acupoint Merging Method".
He tried to forcefully pull the two bright "suns" that represented acupoints closer together and merge them into one!

However, the process was incredibly difficult.

Those two "great suns" seemed so close, yet they were separated by an invisible, incredibly strong barrier.

They attract each other, yet repel each other.

Each approach unleashes a powerful recoil force, unleashing terrifying spiritual energy that cleanses Qin Feng's physical body!

One day, two days...

One month, two months...

Six months have passed quietly once again.

He consumed a full ten [Superior Psychic Potions].

However, no matter how hard he tried, the two "great suns" only kept getting closer and colliding, but never showed the slightest sign of truly merging.

On the last day of the sixth month, when the last trace of the medicine in his body had been exhausted, Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes.

He stopped this futile attempt.

"Insufficient resources."

Looking at his empty hands, Qin Feng couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

"The [Superior Psychic Potion] might be enough for an ordinary level 5 martial artist. But for me, both the quality and quantity of the psychic energy it contains are far from sufficient."

He realized that his terrifying vitality index of 3600 points, while bringing him great strength, also brought him an enormous consumption of cultivation energy.

"To successfully merge with the aura, I must purchase a higher-grade, enhanced psionic potion."

Having reached this conclusion, Qin Feng decisively stopped practicing the "Great Sun Union Technique".

Continuing without sufficient resources would only be a waste of time.

He then turned his attention to another method, which was equally profound but required no resources to cultivate supreme skills—the "Ten Perfect Hands".

However, the result that followed was even more frustrating for him than the result of the acupoint closure.

Six whole months.

He broke down every movement demonstrated by Lord Zhou Xiong into thousands of details, imitated them repeatedly, and practiced them tens of thousands of times.

He tried out those thousands of breathing techniques one by one, attempting to find the one that best suited his body and was easiest for him to do.

However... it didn't work.

No matter how much sweat he shed, no matter how many times he repeated it, the column representing "Perfect Hand" on his proficiency panel always stubbornly displayed a glaring number.

【The Perfect Hand Technique (Beginner)】
[Proficiency: 0/10]

The minimum entry threshold of 10 points is still a long way off.

My proficiency hasn't improved at all.

He couldn't even touch the door!
When the third six-month period came to an end, Qin Feng concluded this period of seclusion.

In total, it took one year and six months.

He walked out of the meditation room, looked at the long-awaited sunshine outside the window, and showed no sign of frustration.

This retreat was not intended to achieve any results from the very beginning.

It was merely a preliminary exploration and learning experience in a completely new realm.

Now, Qin Feng has reached a conclusion.

"Closing the orifices is much more difficult than opening them."

"Moreover, we need more and more advanced resources."

"Take it slow, it will work eventually."

Qin Feng smiled.
-
The heavy training room door, made of high-density alloy, slid open slowly to both sides amidst a low, mechanical hum.

Qin Feng walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of his dormitory and looked down at the Canaan Star Martial Arts University, which was so huge that it resembled an independent kingdom.

Countless magnetic levitation shuttles, like diligent worker bees, shuttle tirelessly along the pre-set routes.

Everything was exactly the same as before he went into seclusion.

However, Qin Feng's state of mind had already undergone a tremendous change.

If he was a peerless divine weapon before his seclusion, with a perfectly forged blade, its sharpness fully revealed, ready to cut through everything.

Now, after a year and a half of seeking and experiencing setbacks in his pursuit of a higher realm, he has consciously and deeply sheathed his once sharp and unparalleled edge.

He became more composed, more reserved, and more... pragmatic.

He deeply realized that to embark on the path to a higher level of life, having an unwavering determination and an iron will was far from enough.

One more thing is needed.

It's the most basic, yet most crucial, thing.

--resource.

A massive amount of top-tier cultivation resources, enough to support his terrifying consumption.

The only way to obtain these resources is to undertake those high-difficulty, high-reward imperial missions.

Thinking of this, Professor Yu Han's admonition about "saving one's life" once again clearly surfaced in his mind.

"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools."

Qin Feng silently recited this ancient proverb in his heart.

He went straight to the Equipment section of the Imperial Trading Post.

Since we are going to carry out high-risk missions, a set of equipment that can maximize our survival rate and combat effectiveness is of paramount importance.

He set the filter criteria to "suitable for level 5 martial artists" and then began browsing through them one by one.

Soon, a simple, reddish-brown power armor that shimmered with a dark silver metallic sheen caught his full attention.

Its design, brimming with power and technological aesthetics, and the ferocious dragon relief on its shoulders, all highlight its extraordinary nature.

【"Minglong Type I" Multi-functional Tactical Power Armor】

[Suitable Vitality Index: 3600-7200 points]

[Equipment Effects: Instantly boosts basic physical attributes (strength, speed, reaction) by 30%-50% based on the user's neural signals. Built-in 'deep-sea level' high-pressure stabilization system, seventh-generation integrated life support system, and 'Peregrine Falcon' miniature takeoff system. Seamlessly integrates with a subspace intelligent assistant to create a holographic heads-up display (HUD) interface, providing battlefield data analysis, threat level assessment, mission path planning, and other auxiliary functions. Can be equipped with numerous infantry-grade standard psionic weapons, and can be fitted with numerous trophy attachments on the waist.]

[Price: 5000 contribution points] Looking at this series of incredibly powerful performance descriptions, Qin Feng couldn't help but catch his breath slightly.

This is a small, highly mobile, heavily armed personal war fortress!
Whether it's the 50% increase in physical attributes, the life support and pressure stabilization system that ensures the user's survival in extreme environments, or the miniature flight system that allows level five martial artists to experience the thrill of flight ahead of time...

All of this is of immeasurable value to the warriors who are about to go to the Death Planet to fight those vicious traitors and heretics!

Not to mention, the ability to seamlessly integrate with the subspace intelligent assistant allows martial artists to maintain the clearest mind and make the most correct judgments on the ever-changing battlefield!
These 5000 contribution points are well worth it!

Qin Feng forcibly suppressed the urge to immediately take it down and continued to look downwards.

Soon, he saw another piece of equipment that made his heart skip a beat.

It was a long spear.

A long alloy spear with a reddish-gold hue that resembles a koi fish.

The gun barrel was covered with fine, dragon-scale-like patterns, while the gun head was shaped like a ferocious dragon's head with its mouth wide open. The two dragon eyes, inlaid with unknown crystals, seemed to contain life and shone with a terrifying cold light.

[Level 5 Standard Alloy Long Spear | 'Koi Transforms into a Dragon']

[Material: The 'K-78' type Level 5 shape memory alloy, newly developed by the Imperial Academy of Sciences, is a blend of over thirty Level 5 interstellar metals, forged in one piece.]

[Characteristics: Capable of withstanding prolonged, high-intensity, and high-severity violence from martial artists with a vitality index below 7200. Its special alloy composition gives it excellent spiritual energy conductivity and force extension, amplifying the power of killing techniques by 5%-8%.]

Price: 5000 contribution points

……

When Qin Feng's gaze slowly shifted away from the price of the second "5000 contribution points" item.

He fell into a long silence.

He didn't read any further.

Because it's no longer necessary.

He simply sat there quietly, without saying a word, but his deep eyes revealed an emotion he hadn't experienced in a long time.

It was a kind of awkwardness, a mixture of helplessness,感慨, and self-deprecation.

Poor!

We're really poor!

As the overall champion of the Canaan Newcomer Cup Level 4 competition, with a "huge sum" of over 10,000 contribution points, he thought he could be considered "somewhat wealthy".

But reality gave him the loudest and crispest slap in the face.

With these 10,000 contribution points, plus the savings from before, after purchasing the "Great Sun Harmony Technique" that leads to a higher realm, the remaining 4,000 points were not enough to buy even one of these two top-tier pieces of equipment that could be considered "graduation gear for level 5 martial artists"!

And this is just the power armor and weapons!

He hadn't even bothered to calculate the powerful level 3 killing techniques that also cost thousands of contribution points per book!
They didn't even bother to calculate the even more expensive, top-tier potions that would be needed when they began their cultivation journey to the next level!
He finally understood why Chow Yun-fat, like a "lazybones," would repeatedly sign up for the Rookie Cup to "fleece" the prize money.

Because for high-level martial artists, every stage of cultivation is a bottomless pit that devours contribution points!
Zhou Run can collect 10,000 contribution points at a time, and after doing so three or four times, he can already buy a lot of resources.

Qin Feng slowly exhaled.

The pressure is immense.

However, pressure can be a motivator.

In his mind, he quickly devised a clear, short-term course of action for himself.

The first step is to find a way to make a quick buck.

The second step is to use this money to acquire the "Roaring Dragon" power armor and the "Koi Dragon Transformation" spear, the two pieces of equipment that can maximize his combat power!
The third step is to go to the task system, select suitable and rewarding tasks, and officially start your "gold farming journey".

As for those expensive level 3 killing techniques, we can put them aside for now.

Because of the numerous "Mastery Realm" killing techniques he currently possesses, and the many self-created killing moves such as [Golden Palace], [Wind and Thunder Chasing Shadow], and [Fierce Owl Chasing Shadow], they are still sufficient at the fifth level.

The first step is to figure out how to make a quick buck.
—Canaan Tower!

A thought flashed through Qin Feng's mind like lightning.

A slow, gentle smile curved the corners of his lips.

Qin Feng smiled.

He seems to have some "newbie perk" that he's been forgetting to claim.

Each level of the Canaan Tower offers generous, one-time contribution point rewards!
With his current terrifying strength of 3600 points of vitality, he could once again challenge the Trial Tower that had once stopped him at the 61st floor...

That's not about going to challenge.

That's to—get something for nothing!

When the words "Canaan Tower" clearly appeared in Qin Feng's mind, the slight embarrassment caused by his lack of money was instantly replaced by a strong fighting spirit full of confidence and anticipation.

……

"Hamer, help me unlock the Canaan Tower challenge."

Qin Feng said.

Hammer quickly replied: "Yes, Master, you have been connected to Canaan Tower."

The cold, metallic space remained as spacious and silent as ever.

Qin Feng skillfully accessed his personal information on the central control screen.

Challenger: Qin Feng

[Current highest challenge record: Floor 61 (failed)]

Looking at the bright red word "failure," Qin Feng smiled.

That was a long time ago, after we returned from the K-7 mission.

At that time, he had just mastered the killing move [Golden Palace], and was full of vigor, sweeping all before him.

Until, on the 61st floor, he encountered that unforgettable, cold war machine called "Mechanoid Sentinel-7".

That opponent has a vitality index of 1800 points.

It also possesses a cross-dimensional, absolutely rational computational ability, capable of quickly recognizing his combat inertia. His unbelievable fighting style, which can predict all his attack trajectories, and his cold, mechanical body that completely ignores pain and injury, allowed him to challenge it more than a dozen times. Each time, he was completely and unsurprisingly crushed in every aspect.

And today...

Time passes.

He's back.

"Teleported to the 61st floor."

Qin Feng issued commands to the control screen.

Without the slightest hesitation.

"Om-"

With a slight spatial fluctuation, his figure vanished from the teleportation hall in an instant.

next second.

When his feet stepped once again onto that familiar, futuristic combat platform made up of countless silver-white metal modules.

The whole world, in his perception, was completely different.

Opposite him, a hundred meters away, streams of silver liquid metal were slowly rising from the ground, rapidly converging, solidifying, and deforming.

Soon, a humanoid creature, over three meters tall, made entirely of a strange alloy that shimmered with a cold metallic luster, with long limbs and six multifunctional mechanical arms extending from its back like spider legs, appeared there.

Its head has no facial features, only a huge single eye that emits a ghostly blue light, which is scanning Qin Feng at an extremely high frequency, analyzing every inch of his data.

Mech Protoss Sentinel-7.

It was still that familiar opponent who had once caused him immense frustration.

When Qin Feng's gaze met that huge blue monocular eye again, the heaviness and helplessness he felt before were gone.

【The battle begins! 】

A cold, emotionless system notification sound boomed across the platform.

Almost at the same instant the sound fell.

The Sentinel-7 on the other side has moved!

The six mechanical arms behind it instantly transformed into six deadly afterimages!

Laser cannon muzzle, high-frequency vibrating blade, electromagnetic pulse generator...

Six completely different attacks, each powerful enough to instantly tear an ordinary level four martial artist to shreds, shot toward Qin Feng from six incredibly tricky angles at supersonic speeds!

The exquisite coordination of their attacks and the precision of their timing remain impeccable and full of "wisdom."

If it were the Qin Feng of the past, he would have been overwhelmed and exhausted in the face of such an attack.

But now, Qin Feng simply raised his right foot.

Then he stomped heavily on the ground!
"boom--!!!!!"

An unprecedented, terrifying roar, seemingly capable of shaking the entire Canaan Tower, exploded out!

Centered on Qin Feng's landing point, the incredibly hard combat platform, made of a special alloy, was instantly dented into a huge, exaggerated basin, just like a lake surface that had been hit head-on by a giant meteorite!

A terrifying shockwave, visible to the naked eye and like a tsunami, mixed with countless shattered metal fragments, swept wildly in all directions with an utterly unreasonable and destructive force!
Those six lightning-fast, seemingly inevitable attacks were as fragile as candle flames in a storm before the earth-shattering shockwave. In an instant, they were scattered and deviated from their original course!
The Sentinel-7 itself didn't even have time to react.

Its seemingly indestructible alloy body emitted a series of teeth-grinding "crunches" under that pure, brutal, and crushing physical impact. In an instant, it was shaken off the ground and lost all balance in mid-air!

It's now!

Qin Feng transformed into a black, blurry afterimage, arriving first despite being the one who attacked last.

In an instant, it covered a distance of 100 meters and appeared in front of the completely out-of-control Sentinel-7.

Then, he unleashed a powerful punch, the Golden Throne.

"Oh!"

A deafeningly loud bang.

Time seemed to stand still.

A surge of powerful energy swept out, and an immense force erupted, instantly vaporizing the war machine!

Instant kill!

A pure crushing defeat in terms of strength!

As the wreckage of the Sentinel-7 dissipated into the air, the cold system notification sounded once again.

[Win the battle! Gain 1 contribution point]

Congratulations! You have successfully cleared the 61th floor of the Canaan Tower! First-time completion reward: 50 Contribution Points!

……

From this moment on, a crazy "wool-gathering" journey exclusively for Qin Feng officially began!
Level 63.

The opponent is a three-headed, massive, mountain-like creature called the "Nurgle Worm," whose body is covered in green slime.

They exuded a nauseating stench of plague and decay, and with each wriggle, they left behind pools of highly toxic pus on the ground.

Still sold out instantly.

Level 68.

The opponents were a hundred "Imperial Rebel Squads" armed with energy rifles, working in perfect coordination and knowing how to use crossfire.

The moment the battle began, a deluge of energy beams, like a deadly downpour, completely engulfed the location where Qin Feng was!
However, when the light faded.

Qin Feng has disappeared.

When it reappeared the next second, it charged into the ranks of the hundred rebel soldiers like a tiger among sheep.

Punches, kicks, elbow strikes, knee strikes...

Without any unnecessary movements, every attack resulted in a rebel being blasted away like a broken sack!
A mere second later, the entire platform was a complete mess.

[...Passed the 68th floor, gained 50 contribution points]

Level 75.

The opponent is a Shadow Clan assassin who is elusive, can disappear into the shadows, and is incredibly fast.

However, compared to Qin Feng's terrifying neural reaction speed and perception ability brought about by his 3600 points of vitality, the opponent's proud speed and shadow ability seemed like a joke.

No matter how it flickers or shifts, Qin Feng's gaze can always lock onto its location a step ahead.

Finally, just as the Shadow Clan assassin was about to launch a fatal blow, Qin Feng reached out and used the [Fierce Owl Chasing Shadow] technique to precisely choke its throat.

"Click."

With a crisp sound, the battle ended.

[...Passed the 75th floor, gained 50 contribution points]

……

80th floor... 85th floor... 90th floor!
Qin Feng's path through the trials is unstoppable and unstoppable!
He was like a ruthless bulldozer, crushing one after another the phantoms of the myriad races of the universe that were incredibly powerful, even nightmares, in the eyes of ordinary level four martial artists!
Contribution points also skyrocketed during this process!

However, when he stepped onto the battle platform on the 91st floor with high spirits...

His seemingly invincible journey through the trials has finally met its first real challenge.

On the opposite side of the platform, a colossal creature, over six meters tall, with bulging muscles, dark green skin, and wearing a crude power armor pieced together from various scrap metal in a "WAAAGH!" style, slowly rose from the ground.

In its hand, it held a massive battle axe, larger than Qin Feng himself, covered in rust and nicks!

Greenskins, the kingpins of armored warfare!

What made Qin Feng's expression even more serious was the opponent data provided by the system.

Vitality Index: 3600.0

[Killing Techniques: Mastery]

A true powerhouse at the same level of vitality as him!
"WAAAGH!!!"

The moment the battle began, the green-skinned leader let out a deafening roar and charged madly at Qin Feng, wielding his giant axe!
This time, Qin Feng didn't overestimate himself.

With a flick of his wrist, an alloy spear appeared in his hand!
"clang!!!"

The gun and the axe clashed violently!
A terrifying force surged through the gun!
For the first time during this tower-climbing expedition, Qin Feng was so shaken that he had to retreat repeatedly!

The battle has reached an unprecedented stalemate.

Over and over again.

In his first challenge, Qin Feng, unfamiliar with his opponent's unpredictable and frenzied fighting style, was sent flying by a single axe blow after a hundred rounds of brute force, having traded injuries for injuries. He failed.

In his second attempt, he tried to use agility to move around, only to discover that his opponent's seemingly clumsy body possessed astonishing explosive power and speed that were completely disproportionate to his size. He failed again.

The third time, the fourth time... the tenth time...

Qin Feng challenged it more than a dozen times!
After each defeat, he would immediately review the situation, analyze the opponent's attack habits, and look for their weaknesses.

Finally, on the seventeenth challenge, he seized a fleeting opening revealed by his opponent's rage and unleashed a powerful [Golden Luan] strike, a deadly move that embodied all the strongest fist techniques he had ever learned, slamming it hard into the green-skinned boss's jaw!
"boom!"

A gigantic head shot skyward.

The battle is over.

[Win the battle! Gain 1 contribution point]

Congratulations! You have successfully cleared the 91th floor of the Canaan Tower! First-time completion reward: 100 Contribution Points!

Standing on the open platform, Qin Feng leaned on his spear, slightly out of breath.

There was no joy in his eyes, but rather an unprecedented solemnity.

He finally understood the true meaning of Professor Yu Han's words.

From this level onwards, all opponents will be terrifying beings like him, standing at the theoretical limit of a level four martial artist, with a vitality index of 3600 points!
Moreover, their killing methods, without exception, have all reached the "mastery level"!
"Any life form that can survive to a high level is no pushover..."

"Among billions of humans, there are geniuses who emerge from the ashes... Similarly, among the myriad races of the universe, there are also truly terrifying monsters who have been forged in blood and fire..."

Qin Feng muttered to himself.

He knew that each subsequent floor would be a real battle.

……

And indeed, things turned out exactly as he had predicted.

On the 92nd floor, he faced a "StarCraft Zerg Blade Zerg" with the same 3600 vitality index.

His opponent's relentless, storm-like attacks forced him to challenge them more than thirty times before he finally found a way to defeat them.

On the 95th floor, he faced an even larger and more terrifying "Abyss Demon." It took him more than fifty battles to finally wear it down.

For each level, he needs to attempt it dozens, or even hundreds of times.

Each time is an extreme test of technique, willpower, and mentality.

Time flew by during this tower challenge.

A year and a half.

For a full year and a half, Qin Feng immersed himself in the Canaan Tower.

—The 100th floor.

His opponent was a three-meter-tall stone man, whose body was made of the hardest obsidian-like rock and who bore a resemblance to Shi Potian.

It was not carrying any weapons.

Its fists are the most terrifying weapons.

This battle was the most difficult and longest battle Qin Feng had ever fought in his life.

He attempted it more than five hundred times!

Qin Feng used every killing technique he had learned to its fullest potential.

He brought his combat wisdom to its limit.

He repeatedly reviewed and analyzed the situation, thoroughly imprinting every move and attack pattern of his opponent into his very soul.

Finally, in yet another challenge, he seized upon a flaw that he had discovered only after more than five hundred failures and reviews.

He gripped his spear and unleashed a devastating [Golden Throne] strike, utterly annihilating the enemy!

When that powerful stone life form collapsed and turned into countless pieces of rubble.

Qin Feng was breathing heavily.

The system notification sound came late.

Congratulations! You have successfully cleared the 100th floor of the Canaan Tower! First-time completion reward: 100 Contribution Points!

Qin Feng looked up and brought up his personal account.

After a year of relentless and frantic tower-climbing, his contribution points balance reached a whole new level.

[Contribution Points: 6229]

Excluding the original 4109 points, he gained a total of 2120 contribution points from this tower challenge!
