High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 192 Gu Yue, Lin Yue, Wu Shangfeng, and their mentors are watching the battle. How did Qin Feng suddenly take to the air?! The mentors are dumbfounded!
In the moments before the battle was about to begin, Qin Feng's mind was as calm and still as a frozen lake.

Instead of rushing to make a move, he used this brief interval to quickly review his amazing transformation over the past month.

First, there are the hard indicators of vitality.

Thanks to the abnormal cultivation efficiency of the "Supreme Yuan Aperture" and his daily hard work, his vitality index has increased by a whopping 300 points in just one month! From 7200 points when he first entered level six, it has soared to 7500 points now!
This number has already firmly surpassed Wan Kun's.

Secondly, and most importantly, is the advancement in killing techniques.

The level 4 marksmanship technique "Heavy Gun" has successfully broken through the "entry" threshold and reached the "minor mastery" level through his Heavenly Reward System and almost insane practical training!
[Kill Method: Heavy Spear (Minor Mastery)]

[Proficiency: 112/1000]

This means that he has not only mastered the art of combining spiritual power and psionic energy, but has also successfully mastered the most crucial killing move in the "Heavy Spear" technique—the "Heavy Thrust."

This move has no fancy variations; it simply combines power and speed with a "spiritual energy-psychic aggregate," concentrating penetrating force into a single point to unleash the most terrifying destructive force in the purest and most direct way.

Simple and unadorned, yet utterly deadly.

……

"please!"

With Wan Kun's calm and powerful shout, the aura between the two instantly reached its peak.

The battle is about to begin!
"boom!"

The same scene as a month ago is playing out again.

The two figures, like two cannonballs fired from a gun, left two shallow dents on the hard alloy arena, colliding fiercely at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive!
The spear and the staff clashed once again in the center of the arena!
"clang--!"

A louder and more ear-piercing explosion than during their last encounter resounded throughout the entire combat zone.

The violent shockwave, like a Category 12 hurricane, swept wildly in all directions.

The energy barrier around the arena, designed for protection, rippled as a result.

The power unleashed in that very first collision far surpassed that of the past!

"What a strong force!"

Wan Kun's pupils suddenly contracted, and the solemn expression on his face instantly turned into horror.

What came from the staff was a terrifying, overwhelming force that he could hardly resist!
This power was not only pure and immense, but also possessed an indestructible and sharp penetrating quality, causing his arms to go numb and his blood to surge.

He was actually shaken back half a step by this blow!
Qin Feng, on the other hand, remained motionless, like a mountain rooted deep in the earth.

Sit down!

Wan Kun didn't have time to think it through; his fighting instincts had already driven him to react.

He roared and pushed his spiritual energy to its limit. The black staff in his hand once again transformed into that familiar, impenetrable black staff shadow, sweeping wildly towards Qin Feng.

This time, he held nothing back, unleashing his strongest killing combo right from the start!
Ping! Bang! Clang! Clang!
The sounds of hammering, more intense and ferocious, echoed continuously on the arena, forming a continuous chorus.

Golden gun shadows and black staff shadows intertwined and collided wildly in mid-air, each impact emitting dazzling sparks.

However, the situation is completely different from the one-sided situation a month ago.

This time, it was Wan Kun who was put on the defensive and suffered repeated defeats!
The spear in Qin Feng's hand seemed to come alive.

Every move he made appeared calm, composed, and perfectly executed.

The convergence of spiritual power and psychic energy, under his control, was as natural as breathing, without the slightest stagnation.

The spear in his hand sometimes moved like a serpent emerging from its hole, cunning and ruthless, aiming directly at Wan Kun's weaknesses;

At other times, it is like a tiger descending the mountain, sweeping and powerful, crushing everything in its path with absolute force.

Wan Kun felt as if he were fighting against an enraged prehistoric beast.

Each of Qin Feng's shots contained a terrifying force that was difficult for him to resist.

Each clash of weapons made him feel as if his tiger's mouth was about to be cracked open, and his blood and qi churned endlessly within his body.

He was already starting to feel the strain!
What terrified him even more was that Qin Feng's current moves now featured an incredibly subtle and seamless convergence and flow of "spiritual power and spiritual energy."

He couldn't find any loopholes or weaknesses to exploit, and trying to win through skill like last time had become an impossible task!
"hateful!"

Under continuous suppression, a resolute glint flashed in Wan Kun's eyes.

If things continue like this, I'm doomed to defeat!

"Overturn the sea!"

With a deafening roar, Wan Kun poured all his strength into the long staff in his hand.

At this moment, the black staff in his hand seemed to be infused with a soul. Blue energy shone brightly on the staff, condensing into towering waves that seemed to devour everything!

This is his trump card!
Level 4 Staff Technique Killing Move - [Overturning the Sea]!
Qin Feng's eyes remained calm and still.

He neither chose to dodge nor to block.

He unleashed terrifying power, thrusting his spear forward with tremendous force.

At this moment, all his arduous training, all his battles, and all his insights from the past month were condensed into this single shot.

Level 4 Gun Technique Killer Move - [Heavy Thrust]!
There were no earth-shattering sound and light effects, nor any dazzling energy effects.

At the tip of Qin Feng's spear, only a point of extreme, dark light condensed, seemingly capable of devouring all light.

next second.

The tip of the gun collided violently with the blue, surging waves.

There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected, nor was there any sustained energy depletion.

An eerie, absolute silence, lasting for a full second, fell over the arena.

Immediately afterwards——

Bang-!
A devastating shockwave erupted from the point where the spear tip and the staff shadow met!

The entire alloy arena trembled and groaned violently under this force!
The wind howled, and the air surged!
The audience below the ring felt a strong gust of wind rush towards them, making it almost impossible for them to open their eyes.

At the eye of the storm, the black staff in Wan Kun's hand, an indestructible weapon made of high-strength alloy, shattered like fragile glass the moment it came into contact with the dim light on the tip of Qin Feng's spear!
Click!

Click!

Bang!
Countless black alloy fragments shot out in all directions.

Qin Feng's spear, however, was unstoppable, advancing straight in and finally gently touching Wan Kun's breastplate.

The outcome has been decided.

Wan Kun stared blankly at the half-broken staff in his hand, then at the spear pressed against his chest, its tip gleaming coldly. The horror and disbelief on his face finally turned into a deep, bitter smile.

He lost.

He was utterly defeated, and completely convinced of his defeat.

"Brother Qin Feng..."

Wan Kun put away the broken stick, sighed deeply at Qin Feng, his tone filled with complex and incomprehensible emotions.

"Your progress is really too fast."

He shook his head, as if savoring the earth-shattering shot he had just fired.

"In just one month, you've cultivated a brand-new level four killing technique from scratch to the 'minor mastery' stage... That's terrifying."

"I have lost, and I admit defeat wholeheartedly."

Wan Kun solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qin Feng, "As expected of a monster who broke through dozens of killing techniques below level four to the control realm. Now that you've entered the new realm of level six martial artists, you're still learning these higher-level level four killing techniques so quickly!"

When Wan Kun's broken staff, now only half intact, hung limply, the entire combat area fell into an almost frozen silence.

All eyes were focused on the imposing figure standing in the center of the arena, gun in hand.

After a brief silence, an even louder, more explosive discussion erupted!

"Qin Feng is still so scary! He defeated Senior Wan Kun in just one month!"

"The key isn't defeating! It's crushing! Did you all see that? That last shot pierced through Senior Wan Kun's alloy staff! That's a special alloy used by a level six martial artist!"

"You've gone from mastering a level four killing technique to a level one killing move in just one month? Are you kidding me?! My Thunder Sword technique is still stuck at the beginner level, and I've been practicing it for over a year!"

"What's so strange about this?"

A well-informed "insider" said with feigned profundity, "I've heard that after Qin Feng advanced to level six, he only spent a month learning the notoriously tedious and difficult-to-learn 'Fundamentals of Imperial Mental Power Manipulation'! This shows that his mental power talent, like his physical talent, is monstrous!"

"Hiss—his physical talent is overwhelming the detection chamber, and his mental talent is also top-notch... Is this even fair to others?"

"That's absolutely terrifying. Their talent is ridiculously high!"

The audience erupted in discussion, like a tidal wave.

Below the arena, Long Yu, Nissan, and Ning Jing watched the figure slowly walk down from the stage, their expressions equally fascinating.

"You guy..."

Nissan scratched his short blond hair, looking utterly frustrated. "The three of us have been working ourselves to the bone for the past month, and we've only just reached the 'beginner' level of our respective level four killing techniques, far from mastery. But you, on the other hand, not only are you proficient, you've even mastered the core killing move!"

"monster."

Ning Jing's assessment, as always, was concise yet incisive.

Long Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "I think I understand now. We can't use our own standards to judge him. Otherwise, we'll be so discouraged that we'll start to doubt our existence sooner or later."

Qin Feng listened to his close friends' complaints, but just smiled calmly and didn't offer any further explanation.

This resounding victory did not stir much emotion within him.

For him, this was just a normal test of the results of his month of hard work.

The video of this battle was quickly uploaded to the private forum of Canaan Star Martial Arts University.

[Shocking! The 'Qin Beast' has once again performed a miracle, defeating the level six veteran Wan Kun after a month of arduous training!]

This sensational title instantly ignited the entire forum.

The number of clicks and replies increased exponentially within just a few minutes.

Below the post, there was another wave of heated discussion and amazement about Qin Feng's inhuman speed of progress.

……

The scene changes and night falls.

Qin Feng and his three companions gathered once again in that familiar meditation room, numbered A-73.

The hustle and bustle and glory of the daytime are shut out.

Here, they shed their "genius" aura and returned to their purest identity as martial artists, beginning their daily routine of training and exchange meetings.

This is a new habit they've developed over the past month.

"Let's talk about the vitality index first."

Long Yu spoke first, "I've improved by about 150 points in the past month. I can improve by about 5 points every morning when I cultivate."

"IM about the same."

Nissan said, "5 o'clock, occasionally I can go up to 6 o'clock if I'm in good shape, but no more than that."

Ning Jing nodded, indicating that his progress was roughly the same.

Then, all three of them turned their attention to Qin Feng without prior arrangement.

Qin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I can probably improve by about 10 points in a morning."

A brief silence fell over the quiet room.

"No wonder it's a monster with the potential to be classified as a 'Starry Sky Beast' by the system."

After a long while, Long Yu sighed deeply, his tone full of emotion, "We are both 'top-grade Yuanqiao', but your improvement speed is twice as fast as ours."

I estimate that when we face the 'three major limitations' that every level six martial artist must overcome in the future, you will be able to overcome those bottlenecks much faster than we are.

"Yes."

Nissan nodded vigorously and looked at Qin Feng, saying, "His vitality has increased rapidly, so you could say his physical foundation is amazing."

But the fact that your killing techniques have improved so quickly can only mean that your mental talent is also frighteningly high.

And mental strength is precisely the most crucial core of cultivation after the planetary level…

"It was all just luck."

Faced with the astonishment of his three close friends, Qin Feng responded with the same humble attitude.

He knew that while talent played a part, the result was largely due to his extraordinary, almost self-destructive, rigorous training.

For a whole month, Qin Feng didn't sleep.

His significant improvement in killing techniques was the result of fighting three to five hundred battles every day.

The four continued their conversation, sharing their insights into the cultivation of killing techniques and the various interesting opponents they had encountered in the Imperial Arena.

Just then, a clear, slightly noisy commotion faintly drifted in from outside the heavy door of the meditation room, which was made of "void stone".

"Huh? What's going on outside?"

Nissan frowned.

Long Yu listened intently for a moment, catching some key words.

A playful smile appeared on his face as he said, "It seems to be Qin Yonglin, Wan Kun's senior from the same department, nicknamed 'Stick Maniac'."

"Qin Yonglin?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ning Jing's eyes, "The ruthless person who ultimately won a place in the top 100,000 in the Level 6 Martial Artist competition in the last 'Starry Sky Cup'?"

"Yes, that's him."

Long Yu nodded. "I heard that he saw the video of your fight with Wan Kun this afternoon. Now, he probably heard that Wan Kun lost to you, so he came here specifically to find you."

Upon hearing this, Nissan immediately said nonchalantly, "Hey! How come this is just like in the novels, where you beat up the kid and then the old one comes along?"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

His sarcastic remark made Ning Jing laugh.

Ning Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Although I've never met Qin Yonglin, I've heard of his reputation.

He was an extreme martial arts fanatic; his mind was consumed by nothing but cultivation and combat.

These warriors, who have truly crawled out of blood and fire, don't have the 'leisure' to settle scores later.

"I bet he heard about Wan Kun's defeat and your past exploits, and he got itchy fingers and came here specifically to spar with you. After all, spears and clubs have the same origin."

Ning Jing's guess was soon confirmed.

A polite knock came from outside the door.

When Qin Feng opened the door, he saw Wan Kun standing awkwardly at the entrance.

Beside him stood a young man with an even more upright figure and an aura as deep as the sea.

The young man also held a long staff, but his staff had an ancient bronze color and was engraved with mysterious patterns.

He stood there, his sharp edge fully exposed.

"Junior Brother Qin, my name is Qin Yonglin."

Before Qin Feng could speak, the young man stepped forward, gave Qin Feng a hearty smile, revealing a set of white teeth.

"It's quite a coincidence that we both have the surname Qin. You practice spear techniques, and I practice staff techniques. In fact, spear and staff techniques are from the same source."

His gaze, like that of a sharp eagle, swept over Qin Feng from head to toe, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration and intense fighting spirit.

"I heard about it from Wan Kun, and I also watched the battle video from this afternoon, as well as the battle video from before."

He was able to master dozens of the lowest-grade killing techniques.

He was able to create a supreme killing move like [Qian Yuan], which could spontaneously draw upon spiritual power.
Now, learning this brand-new Level 4 killing technique, and reaching a minor mastery level within a month… Junior Brother Qin, to be honest, when I heard this, my hands were itching unbearably, I was so eager to try it!”

His words were direct and frank, filled with the purest desires among martial artists.

"Therefore, I have come here today specifically to ask Junior Brother Qin for your guidance!"

He faced Qin Feng, solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute, and spoke in a loud voice.

"My current vitality index is 18,000 points, which has reached the first major limit. My main fourth-level killing technique, the Nine Elements Staff, has also reached the 'perfect' state."

“I know that my vitality index is much higher than yours. If we were to engage in actual combat or enter a private battle, it would be very unfair to you.”

He paused for a moment, then made a suggestion that surprised even Qin Feng.

"So, we won't engage in actual combat, nor will we enter private domains. We'll go to the friends' room in the Imperial Arena, with our vitality index locked at 7200 points! We'll only compete in killing techniques and combat skills! How about it?" Qin Yonglin looked at Qin Feng, his eyes burning with a thirst for battle.

"I really, really want to see your gun."

This is a true martial arts fanatic.

A pure martial artist who is willing to give up his greatest advantage in order to have a fair fight with an opponent he respects.
-
Faced with Qin Yonglin's burning, pure fighting spirit, Qin Feng simply couldn't refuse, nor did he want to.

Fighting against strong opponents is what he desires most.

Moreover, in order to ensure a fair duel, the opponent is even willing to give up their greatest advantage in vitality, bringing both sides to the same starting line and engaging in the purest contest of killing techniques and skills.

This composure and magnanimity, befitting a true martial artist, earned Qin Feng's heartfelt respect.

"it is good!"

Qin Feng's answer was equally concise and to the point.

He nodded solemnly to Qin Yonglin, "I'll do as you say, senior!"

The agreement for a showdown between the best has been reached.

Without any hesitation, the two immediately added each other as friends on the subspace network through their personal terminals.

Immediately afterwards, a friend room for the Imperial Arena, created by Qin Yonglin, appeared in Qin Feng's invitation list.

Unlike public ranked matches, friend rooms are private; only those invited by the room owner or friends of the room owner can enter to spectate.

Once Qin Feng confirmed his entry, the few audience members already in the room immediately noticed his arrival.

Most of these people were Qin Yonglin's friends in the battle group, and they were also a group of powerful martial arts fanatics.

After seeing Qin Feng's ID, they all cast curious and scrutinizing glances at him.

As Qin Feng entered, a spectator notification popped up in his friend list.

Long Yu, Nissan, and Ning Jing naturally clicked in immediately.

However, the next moment, when Qin Feng saw several familiar names light up in the spectator list, he was slightly taken aback.

Lin Yue has entered the spectator channel.

[Gu Yue has joined the spectator channel]

Wu Shangfeng has entered the spectator channel.

"Eh?"

"Instructor Lin Yue? Instructor Gu Yue? Instructor Wu Shangfeng?"

A look of surprise and astonishment appeared on Qin Feng's face.

These three were his mentors who had given him meticulous guidance and tremendous help when he was at Qiming No. 1 Martial Arts High School!

He never expected that a casual sparring match would attract his three mentors, who had already become planetary-level powerhouses.

Almost the instant he saw the notification, an encrypted private message was sent directly to his inbox.

The sender was none other than his beautiful yet capable homeroom teacher, Lin Yue.

[Lin Yue]: Hey, isn't this our great genius Qin Feng?

I just finished a terribly boring meeting and was bored when I saw your room notification pop up, so I came in to see what was going on.

[Lin Yue]: Speaking of which, you heartless rascal, it's been almost thirty or forty years since you've sent a single message to your teacher, right?
[Lin Yue]: Let me guess your progress... With your vitality index locked at 7200, I bet... you've at least completed half of the Qi Integration stage, right? That's incredible speed.

[Lin Yue]: No, based on the teacher's consistent understanding of you, I must have guessed too low again, right?

Looking at the series of messages filled with a familiar tone, Qin Feng couldn't help but smile warmly.

He felt as if he had returned to the era of Wugao High School, a time filled with youth and passion.

He thought for a moment, then simply replied with a smiley face and a sentence.

[Qin Feng]: Teacher, a month ago, I was fortunate enough to be promoted to a higher level.

After the message was sent, the other party remained silent for a good ten seconds.

Immediately afterwards, another message popped up, filled with shock and speechlessness.

[Lin Yue]: Damn it! You call this 'luck'?! You monster! So you've already finished merging your Yuanqiao (primordial energy points)?! Give you a few more years, are you going to surpass your teacher?!
Besides his three mentors, Qin Feng also has other friends in the spectator channel, such as Zheng Dong, Wan Shuang, Zou Yun, and Qin Lan, with whom he had previous acquaintances.

However, there were only a dozen or so audience members in the entire room.

After all, it was just a friendly sparring match, and neither of them intended to make a big fuss about it. Those who were allowed to watch were all friends who knew each other well, not the kind of gossipy bigmouths who liked to spread rumors.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qin Feng composed himself and focused all his attention on his opponent.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the countdown to the battle reached zero.

【The battle begins! 】

On the virtual arena stage, the figures of the two were instantly constructed by the data stream.

Qin Feng was still wearing light armor and holding an alloy spear.

On the other side, Qin Yonglin was also dressed in light armor and wielding a bronze staff.

Both sides' vitality indexes were forcibly locked at 7200.0 points by the system.

At this moment, they stood on an absolutely fair starting line.

The only competition is the purest killing methods, skills, and fighting will!

The battle erupted the moment it began!
There was no probing, no roundabout approach!
Two figures transformed into two streaks of light, colliding violently on the arena!
The bronze staff in Qin Yonglin's hand seemed to come alive under his control.

His "spiritual power-psychic energy aggregation" was much faster, more precise, and more secretive than Wan Kun's.

The combined energy blended perfectly with the staff techniques in his hand, without the slightest trace of artifice.

What's even more terrifying is his footwork!

His footwork was perfectly coordinated with the staff techniques in his hands, sometimes as elusive as a ghost, and sometimes as steady and powerful as a mountain collapsing.

That is a state of complete mastery that can only be achieved by thoroughly integrating footwork, body movements, and staff techniques!
From the very beginning of the battle, Qin Yonglin used his perfected Nine Elements Staff technique to put unprecedented pressure on Qin Feng!
However, Qin Feng's counterattack was equally swift and fierce!
Faced with Qin Yonglin's onslaught, which was like a raging storm, Qin Feng's spear transformed into an unbreakable reef.

He brought the minor mastery of the "Heavy Spear" technique to its extreme, making the spear strike as powerful as a mountain and fall as majestic as a peak.

Every shot was precisely parried and intercepted by Qin Yonglin's fiercest attacks.

The two figures moved and collided at high speed on the arena.

In an instant, the shadows of spears and clubs clashed, and the sound of metal striking metal was like the most intense drumbeats, resounding throughout the entire arena.

The two remained locked in a stalemate, exchanging blows no less than a hundred times in just over ten seconds.

Under such intense attacks, the fighting spirit within the two was like dry tinder being ignited, burning ever brighter.

Gradually, they started fighting fiercely!

What started as a mere clash of basic skills has evolved into a head-on confrontation of core killing moves!

"Take my move!"

Qin Yonglin let out a long roar, and a heavy, solid aura, as if it could suppress the earth, suddenly erupted from the long staff in his hand!

"Earth Yuan Stick!"

This is a powerful killing move in "Nine Yuan Staff" that focuses on defense and counterattack!
Faced with this heavy blow, as solid as the earth, Qin Feng's eyes narrowed. He neither dodged nor evaded, and the spear in his hand also unleashed terrifying power!

"A heavy stab!"

A touch of extreme darkness once again coalesces at the tip of the spear!

boom! boom! boom!
The clash of deadly moves instantly ignited the entire arena.

The terrifying shockwave spread outwards in concentric circles, causing fine cracks to appear on the hard alloy ground.

After the collision, Qin Feng's figure was as if he had been struck by a giant hammer, and he staggered back hundreds of steps before he could barely regain his footing.

Qin Yonglin, on the other hand, stood still, unmoved!
Sit down!

In a clash of deadly moves, the [Heavy Thrust], which is only at the "minor mastery" level, is ultimately no match for the [Earthly Element Staff], which is at the "perfect" level!
"It's not over yet!"

Taking advantage of Qin Feng's retreat, Qin Yonglin pressed his advantage and launched another attack.

His staff technique suddenly changed. He was no longer confined to the "Nine Elements Staff," a level four killing technique. Instead, he freely incorporated basic moves from countless level three, level two, and even level one killing techniques into his attacks.

What's most terrifying is that these seemingly basic moves, in his hands, are also imbued with that powerful energy formed by the aggregation of "spiritual power and psionic energy"!
"Watch closely, Junior Brother Qin! This is one of the secrets of the 'Perfect' realm!"

While Qin Yonglin attacked like a whirlwind, he used his loud voice to explain to Qin Feng on the spot.

"When you have truly mastered a level four killing technique to perfection, your understanding of 'spiritual power-psychic energy aggregation' will reach a whole new level!"

You will no longer be confined to the fixed pattern of this one killing method, but can instead apply it flexibly to all the lower-level killing methods you know, greatly amplifying their power!

"Of course, all of this is on the premise that you have already cultivated those low-level killing techniques to the 'Mastery Realm'!"

Faced with Qin Yonglin's overwhelming and unpredictable attacks, Qin Feng's eyes showed no fear whatsoever, but instead burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light.

He simply gave up on continuing to use the still-unskilled "Heavy Gun" and instead unleashed his strongest fighting instincts, which were already ingrained in his bones!
He used his fist stance to display the power of a spear!

The ultimate killing move, honed countless times in the Tower of Canaan, the final trump card that embodies his lifelong martial arts will, erupted at this moment!

【Qian Yuan】!
At the same time, Qin Yonglin, on the other side, also felt the soaring, domineering will emanating from Qin Feng.

His expression turned serious, and he unleashed his strongest attack!
【Tian Yuan Stick】!
Rumble——!
A deafening roar, like a nuclear explosion, echoed throughout the entire virtual arena.

The spear tip and the long staff finally collided before the horrified eyes of all the onlookers.

……

The spectator channel was already buzzing with chatter.

[Lin Yue]: Holy crap! I take back what I just said! This guy... he actually completed the Qi fusion!
[Wu Shangfeng]: Lin Yue, Lao Gu, look at Qin Feng's final killing move! Why does it look so familiar? Its core power generation technique is derived from the "Qiankun Spear," but it also carries the sharpness of the "Hanmang," and...

Wow, I can see the shadows of at least a dozen different killing techniques!

Moreover, did you feel it? This move already has that feeling of spontaneously drawing upon mental energy!

[Gu Yue]: Hahahaha! As expected of my prized student, Gu Yue! Such rapid progress! Such a solid foundation!

I knew it! How could my judgment back then be wrong!
In the realm of killing techniques at level three and below, Qin Feng is invincible! He has reached the pinnacle of what the 'Control Realm' can achieve! This move, [Qian Yuan], is excellent! Quite excellent!
……

In the channel, other viewers who originally wanted to add their comments wisely kept quiet after seeing the conversation between these three big shots.

When they looked at the three people's information, they were so frightened that they dared not utter a sound.

They were all "planetary-level powerhouses," and one of them even had a gleaming "fighter" badge next to his ID, representing a rank above ninth dan in the Imperial Arena.

……

In the final, and most brilliant, explosion of light.

The alloy spear in Qin Feng's hand could not withstand the force that exceeded the limit and shattered into pieces.

His body, made of data, was also destroyed by the devastating impact, collapsing inch by inch, and finally turning into countless starlight.

On the other hand, Qin Yonglin, although he won, had his bronze staff broken in two because he forcibly dissipated the domineering power of [Qian Yuan].

Qin Yonglin wins this battle.

……

The virtual starlight fades, and consciousness returns to reality.

Qin Feng opened his eyes and remained seated cross-legged in the absolutely silent meditation room.

The exhilarating battle in the Imperial Arena just now still seems vivid in my mind.

Although he ultimately lost with his body shattered, he felt no frustration, but rather an unprecedented excitement.

Even a brief encounter with a true powerhouse like Qin Yonglin, lasting only a few dozen seconds, yields immense benefits.

He left the friend room in the Imperial Arena, and Qin Yonglin on the other side also left.

This straightforward and uncompromising martial arts fanatic had a flushed face from the battle, and his eyes were filled with the appreciation and exhilaration of meeting a worthy opponent.

He looked at Qin Feng and didn't hold back his praise.

"Qin Feng,"

Qin Yonglin exclaimed, his voice booming with excitement, "Your fundamentals in killing techniques below level four are just too solid!"

"Especially your last move, [Qian Yuan], which, with pure martial will, spontaneously draws upon spiritual power, and the power it unleashes in an instant has surpassed that of a typical level four killing move!"
"If my Nine Elements Staff technique hadn't reached its pinnacle, with mastery of power control and force redirection techniques, it probably wouldn't have been just my staff that broke in the end."

His gaze became incredibly intense, as if he had seen a peerless piece of uncut jade.

"Listen to my advice, Junior Brother Qin. This move, [Qian Yuan], is the essence of your martial arts path; you absolutely cannot give it up."

In the future, you will be able to cultivate a large number of intermediate-level killing techniques to the 'perfect' state, and be able to apply them in different ways, integrating their 'spiritual power-psychic energy aggregation modules' into this [Qian Yuan] technique...

"By then, I can hardly imagine how terrifying your most powerful move will become!"

"Not bad!"

He patted Qin Feng on the shoulder forcefully, "That was a really exhilarating battle! It was the most enjoyable fight I've had since I advanced to level six!"

Qin Yonglin burst into laughter, looking at Qin Feng with anticipation in his eyes.

"Qin Feng, I'll be waiting for you! When you've also mastered the third-level killing technique and reached the 'Control Realm,' then we'll have a truly exhilarating fight!"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing the words "Mastery Realm," Qin Feng's eyes instantly blazed with dazzling light.

He accepted the challenge without hesitation!
Control the realm!
To others, this may be an unattainable, legendary realm that requires endless years to achieve.

But for him, it was a goal he was certain to achieve!

He was also confident that he could master these higher-level intermediate level three killing techniques one by one!

Having received Qin Feng's affirmative reply, Qin Yonglin was completely satisfied and had no further regrets.

He and Wan Kun clasped their fists in greeting to Qin Feng and Long Yu, then turned and left in a hurry, presumably eager to review the battle they had just fought.

After Qin Yonglin and the others left, the quiet room returned to peace.

Just then, Qin Feng noticed that the private message icon on his personal terminal was flashing incessantly.

He opened the message and found that Lin Yue, Gu Yue, and Wu Shangfeng had all sent him new messages at almost the same time.

He was the first to open Lin Yue's chat window.

[Lin Yue]: You brat, tell me the truth! How could your progress be so fast?! Tell me! Have you been secretly worshipping some evil god you shouldn't be believing in behind our backs?!

Lin Yue's messages were as direct as ever, even carrying a hint of interrogation.

But beneath that seemingly stern questioning, Qin Feng could clearly feel the heartfelt and deep concern and worry.

Following closely behind, the news about mentors Wu Shangfeng and Gu Yue was similar.

[Wu Shangfeng]: Qin Feng, your progress has exceeded my expectations. Very good. But the path of martial arts becomes increasingly arduous as you progress. The higher your talent, the more easily you are coveted and tempted by the outside world. Remember, guard your true self, and you will achieve your goal.

Wu Shangfeng asked indirectly, but he also shared the same concerns.

[Gu Yue]: Haha! Good lad! But to be honest, your speed is really a bit strange.

You must remember this: we human warriors cultivate the righteous and glorious path, relying on our own will and hard work. Never try to pursue temporary speed by touching those crooked and evil ways!

Those chaotic beasts love nothing more than a genius like you, with unwavering will and an extreme thirst for power!
……

Gu Yue, the mentor, believed in Qin Feng, but still gave him a warning and a reminder.

His three mentors, without prior agreement, all expressed great shock at his rapid progress, and... a deep sense of worry.
