High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 198 Wu Yue is shocked! Her cousin is astonished, what a powerful older brother! Qin Feng breaks into the top 100,000.
Rumbling--

The sheer force of nearly a hundred level-six martial artists rushing forward simultaneously was terrifying.

The ground was shaking, and the air was hissing.

Those figures, each carrying a raging inferno, surrounded the ancient ruins from all directions, instantly sealing them off completely and forming an impenetrable encirclement.

Normally, in this situation, Qin Feng's first choice would be to turn around and leave without hesitation, continuing his guerrilla tactics of "retreating when the enemy advances and harassing when the enemy is tired," because there was a master lurking in the distance.

But now, things are different.

He looked at his two cousins ​​beside him, who had just been reunited after a long separation and whose faces were still filled with excitement and joy.

Qin Feng couldn't possibly flee in such a sorry state in front of his younger brother again.

Moreover, he hadn't seen Wang Hao and Wang Jie for decades, and he had so much to say and so much to know about their recent situations.

"That's fine."

Qin Feng's gaze slowly turned cold and sharp. "Since we can't avoid it, there's no need to hide anymore."

He had already made up his mind.

As for that top expert who had been hiding in the shadows, eyeing the enemy with predatory intent... Qin Feng was wary of him, but not afraid of him.

With his current 'perfect' level of killing techniques and his terrifying physical foundation that far surpasses others of the same level, he was confident that even if the opponent's strength was indeed much greater than Qin Yonglin's, there was absolutely no way he could defeat him.

It only delays the time spent seizing resources.

Just as Qin Feng gripped the [Raging Waves] spear tightly, preparing to strike with overwhelming force and "clean up" all these reckless pursuers.

A clear, cool, and confident voice rang out before he could.

"Everyone."

Then, Wu Yue, a tall and aloof female martial artist, stepped forward and stood in front of Qin Feng.

The long, narrow sword in her hand was not drawn, but a powerful and refined aura was slowly rising from her body.

Her gaze calmly swept over the menacing martial artists who surrounded them, and she spoke slowly in an unquestionable tone:
"Give me some face. Let's leave it at that. Let's wipe the slate clean, how about it?"

Her words reached everyone's ears clearly.

A brief commotion broke out within the encirclement.

Clearly, Wu Yue's undisguised aura of strength made many people wary.

But soon, this fear was replaced by a stronger anger and resentment.

"Give you face? Who do you think you are?!"

From the crowd, a burly man with a fiery temper, wielding a giant axe, was the first to jump out. Pointing the axe at Qin Feng, who was being protected by Wu Yue, he cursed, "Do you know how many resource packs this scoundrel has stolen from us all day?!"
This guy's a locust who lives solely by robbing! He's got some fancy footwork and doesn't know his place anymore. Now you think you can just tell us to let it go with one sentence? And you're even protecting him? What gives you the right?!

Before he could finish speaking, he could no longer contain his anger. He suddenly exerted force with his feet, and like a raging bull, he swung his giant axe down at Wu Yue!

Faced with this powerful and heavy blow, Wu Yue's face remained completely calm.

Clang!
A clear, resonant sound of a blade ringing out!
No one saw how she drew her sword.

All the people saw was a dazzling blade of light, so fast it seemed to tear through space, flashing by in an instant!
Just one round!
The burly man, who had been so menacing, had his giant axe knocked away by a single blow. He was also forced to stagger backward by an overwhelming force, leaving a deep, bone-revealing gash on his combat uniform.

If Wu Yue hadn't deflected the blade at the last moment, using only the back of the blade, this burly man would have been killed instantly!
Even so, the strong man was still defeated and could only wait for the referee to take him away.

The power of a single strike is truly astounding!
This instantly stunned everyone in the room who was itching to make a move.

Qin Feng's gaze also slightly sharpened on Wu Yue.

"Vitality index... 18,000 points, which has reached the 'first limit'. The level 4 sword technique she uses has also reached the 'mastery' level."

Qin Feng saw through Wu Yue's true strength at a glance.

This woman is quite capable.

However, getting into the top 100,000 is difficult!

Only those with a perfect killing technique and a life force index of 18,000 can be considered to be firmly in the top 100,000.

At that moment, Wang Hao and Wang Jie also stepped forward and stood side by side with Wu Yue.

In Wang Hao's hand, he tightly gripped an alloy long spear similar in style to Qin Feng's.

Wang Jie, on the other hand, drew a heavy-looking, menacing horse-slaying sword.

The two brothers simultaneously released their auras.

Qin Feng sensed that their vitality index had reached around 12,000 points. Although their killing technique level seemed to be much lower than Wu Yue's, they were probably still at the 'minor completion' stage.

Upon seeing the three experts who suddenly appeared before them, especially the unfathomable strength of Wu Yue, the anger on the faces of the nearly one hundred pursuers was instantly extinguished as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads.

Although they outnumbered each other, their abilities varied greatly.

Most people's vitality index is just over 10,000 points, and their killing methods are mostly at a 'minor level'.

If Wu Yue and her group were only slightly stronger than them, they would have swarmed them without hesitation and overwhelmed them with their numbers.

Unfortunately, Wu Yue's vitality index has reached the bottleneck of the 'first major limit'.

This gap can no longer be bridged simply by increasing quantity.

Everyone looked at each other.

In the end, they could only glare fiercely at Qin Feng, who had caused all this trouble and was now leisurely standing behind others watching the show, before reluctantly turning around and leaving.

……

With the pursuers gone, the ruins finally returned to peace.

Qin Feng was finally able to catch up with his two cousins.

"Brother! I really didn't expect to run into you here! What a coincidence!"

Wang Hao's face was still brimming with barely suppressed excitement.

"You two boys have grown taller and stronger."

Qin Feng smiled and patted the two men on the shoulders, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Wu Yue and another composed male martial artist, who had remained silent throughout, stood quietly to the side listening without making a move to interrupt.

However, Wu Yue's gaze remained tinged with curiosity and inquiry as she looked Qin Feng up and down.

She found it hard to connect the young man being chased by a group of martial artists with minor mastery of killing techniques with the "genius elder brother" that Wang Hao and Wang Jie had described as a mythical figure.

After a brief conversation, Qin Feng finally learned about his two cousins' experiences over the years.

It turns out that after graduating from Qiming First Martial Arts High School, the two brothers were both recruited by "Duna Starry Sky Martial Arts University".

And their direct mentor at Duna Starry Sky Martial Arts University turned out to be Zhang Ruoyu, the admissions officer who had been sending them all sorts of "harassing" messages during the Qimingxing School League years ago, trying to poach them.

"Speaking of which, you two lads have improved your skills quite quickly."

Qin Feng looked at the two people's vitality index, which had exceeded 12,000 points, and sincerely praised them.

While this speed isn't as fast as his own, it definitely puts him among the geniuses.

"Hehe, isn't this all thanks to you, big brother?"

Wang Jie smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "We were able to get into Duna, and we even signed the highest-level S-class contract."

In fact, Wang Jie and Wang Hao were unaware of the full details.

Back then, Zhang Ruoyu missed out on Qin Feng, a top genius who was personally cared for by Zhou Xiong, a black hole-level powerhouse, due to his greed and shortsightedness. He later deeply regretted it.

After realizing that she could no longer establish any contact with Qin Feng, this shrewd female mentor immediately turned her attention to the Wang brothers, Wang Hao and Wang Jie, who were closest to Qin Feng.

She used all her connections and authority to directly recruit the two brothers into the Du Na Starry Sky Martial Arts University, and gave them the highest-level S-class training contracts that far exceeded their talents.

This caused quite a stir within the Duna Starry Sky Martial Arts University at the time.

Everyone assumed that Wang Hao and Wang Jie had some unfathomable and terrifying background that even mentor Zhang Ruoyu had to curry favor with.

Zhang Ruoyu's logic was simple: since she couldn't directly invest in Qin Feng himself, she would settle for investing in his closest family members.

This is also a gesture of goodwill.

The academic model of Duna Starry Sky Martial Arts University is completely different from the cruel "breeding poison" style of competition in Canaan.

They place greater emphasis on resource allocation and comprehensive mentorship.

It was precisely through this relentless accumulation of resources that Wang Hao and Wang Jie were able to achieve such an astonishing leap in their abilities.

Just as the group was chatting happily, Wu Yue was still curiously guessing Qin Feng's true strength.

A series of heavy yet rhythmic footsteps suddenly echoed from the shadows of the ruins not far away.

Accompanying the footsteps was a terrifying fighting spirit that soared into the sky, undisguised and pure to the extreme!
The heavy footsteps were like war drums beating on everyone's hearts, one after another.

Each step intensified the oppressive atmosphere.

That undisguised, pure, and terrifying fighting spirit swept across the entire ruins like a tangible gale, causing everyone present to feel a stinging sensation on their skin and difficulty breathing.

Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction from which the fighting spirit emanated.

From the shadows of the ruins, a burly figure slowly emerged.

He was a burly man, nearly three meters tall, like an iron tower.

His skin was a rocky grayish-brown, and his muscles bulged like granite blocks, exuding an explosive sense of power.

His face was hard-lined, and his eyes were like ice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, only showing the most primal desire for battle.

He was dragging a huge, exaggeratedly large broadsword that was proportional to his body size.

The blade of the broadsword dragged across the hard ground, leaving a long trail of dazzling sparks and emitting a piercing "sizzle-sizzle" sound.

"It's Shi Cang."

Upon seeing the newcomer's face clearly, Wu Yue, who had always appeared calm and confident, underwent a dramatic change in expression for the first time. She subconsciously uttered the name, her voice filled with undisguised shock and apprehension.

"Shi Cang?!"

Upon hearing the name, the Wang brothers, Hao and Jie, paled instantly, instinctively gripping their weapons and adopting a defensive stance.

"Do you know him?"

Seeing the three of them looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Qin Feng asked in confusion.

He always had a feeling that he was somewhat disconnected from the world.

It seems that anyone who suddenly appears on the field can be identified by the people around them, and they can all recite their name and background. But he himself is like a local with limited access to information, completely unaware of these so-called "influential figures".

"Ah."

Wu Yue took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her shock, and quickly explained to Qin Feng, "It's more than just knowing him. Several years ago, at the 'Intergalactic League' held within our Canaan Galaxy, this guy had already made a name for himself. He is the top ace of the 'Boruo Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy' generation, an absolute battle maniac!"

"The Canaan Galaxy League... what is that?"

Qin Feng frowned slightly, feeling that he had missed a lot of information.

"Cough cough,"

Wang Hao coughed awkwardly twice and explained, "Brother, that... 'Canaan Galaxy League' is an exchange competition spontaneously organized by the top 100 martial arts universities in our galaxy. Your Canaan Star Martial Arts University... because you are too strong, you have always been at the top, so you seem to have never bothered to participate in this kind of competition. Basically, no one from your school comes to each competition."

"I see."

Qin Feng nodded, finally understanding.

"Big brother, you must be careful!"

Wang Jie's expression was extremely solemn. He stared intently at Shi Cang, who was approaching step by step, and rapidly introduced the other party's information, "His level four killing technique is estimated to have reached the 'perfect' state! Moreover, what is most terrifying about him is not his killing technique, but his bloodline!"

"He is a hybrid of a 'Stone Man' and a human! His physical potential is naturally far beyond that of ordinary people, roughly equivalent to 'Level III' among us gold standard humans!"

"A hybrid of stoneman and human?"

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.

This word, like a key word, instantly triggered a long-dormant switch within him.

"Correct!"

Wang Jie continued, "Because of his extremely high physical potential, he is most skilled at using heavy weapons like the broadsword and the cleaver, which involve wide, sweeping strikes. The killing style he practices is also the pure, brute-force approach! Facing him head-on will put you at a great disadvantage!"

However, Wang Jie's reminder seemed to have the opposite effect.

The term "stone-human hybrid" is like a switch.

boom! ! !
An aura even more terrifying, more violent, and purer than that of Shi Cang suddenly erupted from Qin Feng's body, shooting into the sky like a volcanic eruption!

His fighting spirit, which had been dormant for a day, was completely ignited at this moment!
His "supreme primordial aperture" was activated in that instant, like the sun!
A surge of spiritual energy, like a flood bursting its banks, erupted from his primordial aperture, instantly filling his limbs and bones!

In an instant, all the pores on his body opened up, spontaneously drawing in the free energy in the surrounding space, forming a visible, ebb-and-flowing aura of psionic energy around his body!
Clang!
He suddenly pulled the blue-black level 6 alloy spear, [Raging Waves], from his subspace storage unit and gripped it tightly in his hand!

At this moment, Qin Feng was like an ancient god or demon awakening from his slumber. Just by standing there, the world-destroying aura he exuded made Wang Hao, Wang Jie, Wu Yue, and another male martial artist standing next to him turn pale instantly!

"!!!"

Wu Yue's pupils contracted to their maximum size in that instant!
A primal fear, stemming from the very instinct of life, surged through them like an icy tide, instantly overwhelming their minds!

will die!

An incredibly clear and intense thought exploded in Wu Yue's mind!

They had an extremely strong premonition that if they were standing opposite Qin Feng at this moment, they wouldn't even have the courage to draw their weapons in the face of this terrifying and despairing aura!

This is the true strength of the "genius older brother" that the two brothers talked about?!

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The hearts of the four people pounded violently and uncontrollably, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand, almost bursting out of their chests!

……

"Ho ho ho..."

Faced with Qin Feng's earth-shattering aura, Shi Cang, who was walking step by step, showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, a twisted yet excited smile appeared on his eternally unchanging icy face.

"With such strength..."

His voice was hoarse, like two rocks rubbing together, "Why not fight? Why are you hiding from me instead?"

He slowly raised the broadsword in his hand, its tip pointing at Qin Feng.

"Come and fight!!!"

"it is good!"

Qin Feng's response was just one word.

The moment he finished speaking, he moved!
Attack!

A powerful stab!

The ruins beneath his feet instantly shattered, and he transformed into a black lightning bolt tearing through the air. The [Raging Wave] spear in his hand, carrying his battle intent and power that had reached its peak, as well as the flawless "Mental Power-Psionic Energy Aggregation Module," thrust violently toward Shi Cang's chest!

"Roar!!!"

Shi Cang let out an inhuman roar, and his burly body also sprang up. The broadsword in his hand, without any skill, was wielded in the most primitive and savage way, carrying the terrifying power to split mountains and shatter peaks, and slashed fiercely down at the tip of Qin Feng's spear!

Boom boom boom——! ! !
Guns and knives clashed violently in mid-air!
In that instant, what erupted was not the crisp sound of metal clashing, but a deafening and terrifying roar, as if ten million tons of explosives had been detonated simultaneously!
A visible, white ring of shockwave, centered on the point of impact between the two, swept outwards in a destructive manner in all directions!

Wherever it passed, those dilapidated temple pillars, some tens of meters high, collapsed and shattered instantly, like building blocks swept by a giant's hand!
Countless tons of boulders were lifted into the sky, only to be instantly pulverized by the violent energy!

The towering ancient trees around them, which required more than a dozen people to encircle, were snapped in half like fragile straws!

"Go back!!!"

Wu Yue let out a scream and, at the same time, grabbed Wang Hao, who was closest to her, and frantically retreated backward!

On the other side, Wang Jie and the male martial artist were also terrified by the sudden aftershocks of the battle, which were beyond their comprehension, and fled into the distance.

terrible!

This is not even in the same league!

They were both level six martial artists, but they were as fragile as ants in the face of the aftershocks of their fight!

At this moment, all suspicion and underestimation had vanished from Wu Yue's eyes, replaced by endless shock and horror.

She finally understood that the "legends" about Qin Feng that Wang Hao and Wang Jie had told her before were not exaggerated at all, but rather... humble, and even too modest!
……

In the center of the battlefield, terrifying sounds of collisions echoed continuously.

The battle between Qin Feng and Shi Cang has completely reached a fever pitch!
Neither of them held back at all; they unleashed their strongest killing moves the moment they attacked!
Qin Feng was completely bloodthirsty, and he unleashed all his skills!

[Light and Shadow]!
【Chasing Shadows with Wind and Thunder】!
A thousand troops would flee in terror!
And then there's the most powerful killing move, which is already showing the initial signs of "doing three things at once"—[Qian Yuan]!
He incorporated the fist techniques and will of [Qian Yuan] into his spear techniques, and each strike carried a profound and magnanimous artistic conception!
However, Shi Cang was indeed a true powerhouse!
Faced with Qin Feng's fierce attack, which was like a storm, he actually managed to withstand it!

He wielded the broadsword in his hand with impenetrable skill, and every block he made unleashed astonishing power!
The commotion caused by their fight was truly enormous.

Soon, it attracted more and more participants who were active in the nearby area. A minute later, thousands of martial artists who had come after hearing the news had gathered densely around the ruins.

They were drawn by the commotion of the battle, and also by the red dot on Qin Feng's body on the map that represented a "mobile treasure trove".

But at this moment, when they saw with their own eyes the two people in the arena who were fighting like two gods and demons, engaging in a world-destroying battle, everyone's faces showed expressions of utter horror.

They all stopped several kilometers away from the center of the battlefield, not daring to get any closer, for fear of being caught in the aftershocks of the raging battle.

All thoughts of taking advantage of the chaos vanished at that moment.

……

The battle continues.

Three minutes later, this ancient site, spanning several kilometers in radius, had been completely leveled by Qin Feng and Shi Cang!
Everywhere there were bottomless pits and crisscrossing slash marks.

Shi Cang, too, finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Although his power was great, what he cultivated was ultimately only the pure path of "power".

Qin Feng not only possesses even more terrifying potential derived from the "Starry Sky Beast," but also has exquisite and unparalleled killing techniques that have reached the "perfect" state!
Bang-!
It was another earth-shattering collision!

Shi Cang's broadsword and Qin Feng's spear tip collided fiercely once again!
This time, Qin Feng's violent spiraling force, imbued with the will of [Qian Yuan], surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, wildly tearing through the tip of his spear!

Click... click...

With a series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds, the broadsword made of a special alloy cracked inch by inch, and finally exploded into a sky full of metal fragments with a mournful cry of being unable to bear the weight!

"puff!"

Shi Cang himself was struck as if by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He flew backward dozens of meters like a kite with a broken string, in order to dissipate the destructive force that had invaded his body.

Shi Cang is defeated!

While his body was still in mid-air, a soft white light enveloped him and instantly teleported him out of the arena.

The whole world fell silent instantly.

Only Qin Feng remained, standing proudly atop the ruins, like a god or demon, wielding a long spear.

The thousands of martial artists watching from the surrounding area fell into a deathly silence as they witnessed this breathtaking scene.

A moment later, they turned and left quietly, without making a sound.

No one dared to covet that "moving treasure trove" anymore.

Their strength is simply too great.

There is absolutely no possibility of confrontation!
The thousands of onlookers who had been drawn to the scene quietly retreated in a state of silent shock, not daring to linger there.

Soon, only Qin Feng and his group remained on the battlefield that had been razed to the ground.

Qin Feng slowly put away the [Raging Waves] spear in his hand, and the domineering aura that was like that of a god or demon on his body also receded into his body, restoring his calm and undisturbed appearance.

He turned around and walked back to his two cousins, who were already staring in disbelief.

"Big brother..."

Wang Hao and Wang Jie looked at Qin Feng walking towards them with eyes full of fervent admiration!
They knew their eldest brother was strong, but they never dreamed he would be so ridiculously strong, so utterly unreasonable!

That's Shi Cang!

He is a top-tier expert in the entire Canaan Galaxy's Top 100 Martial Arts Tournament!

As a result, he couldn't even last three minutes against his own elder brother before being completely crushed head-on, and even his weapon was shattered!
"Brother! That's a great gun!"

In the end, all the words he wanted to say were condensed into this heartfelt and simple praise from Wang Jie.

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing his cousin's praise, Qin Feng's cold and stern expression vanished, replaced by a hearty and joyful laugh.

He chuckled and patted Wang Jie on the shoulder, then suddenly, as if recalling some long-forgotten anecdote, a mischievous glint flashed in his eyes, and he asked:
"By the way, speaking of which, you two kids, when you graduated from Qiming No. 1 High School, did you ever try to challenge the photo I left in the school's private Hall of Heroes?"

"Taking a photo?"

Wang Jie was taken aback, then scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Big brother, the year I graduated, I wasn't good enough to get first place in the grade, so I wasn't qualified to challenge him. But... Wang Hao did challenge him."

Qin Feng's gaze instantly shifted to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao blushed under Qin Feng's gaze. He looked at Qin Feng and sighed, "Brother... don't even mention it. We can't beat him, we simply can't beat him."

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

Upon hearing this expected answer, Qin Feng could no longer contain himself and burst into an even more hearty laugh.

Back then, when he was about to leave Qiming No. 1 High School and graduate, he challenged the private Hall of Heroes of Qiming No. 1 High School and defeated Sun Chantang. This photo left behind a record of his own battle.

He had wondered at the time if one day in the future, his two younger brothers would also have the opportunity to stand in front of that photo and challenge their former selves.

And it turned out to be true.

This feeling is amazing.

It was as if I had crossed a vast expanse of time and space, and had a silent conversation with my past self and my growing family members.

Wu Yue and the male martial artist standing to the side had long since put aside all their contempt and suspicion and stood quietly to the side.

They now finally understand that everything Wang Hao and Wang Jie had said before was not flattery, but the truth.

The male martial artist, in particular, was now quite agitated.

His eyes gleamed, and he kept gesturing to Wang Hao and Wang Jie, hoping they would seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and try to persuade Qin Feng to stay.

What a joke!
With such a powerful expert at the level of a killing god in charge, their team can reliably enter the top 100,000, and everything will become a piece of cake!
This is simply the most powerful golden thigh that fell from the sky!

However, to his great surprise, after catching up with Qin Feng briefly, the two brothers, Wang Hao and Wang Jie, made no attempt to persuade him to stay.

"Brother,"

Wang Jie looked at Qin Feng with an extremely serious expression and said, "Go do your own thing and grab as many resources as possible. We won't hold you back."

"Meeting you on the field this time and witnessing your current strength has rekindled our desire to catch up. We brothers will definitely be more disciplined and work harder in our martial arts training in the future, and we will never let you down!"

Wang Hao looked at Qin Feng and said solemnly, "Me too."

"it is good."

Qin Feng looked into their eyes, which were filled with determination and resolve, and nodded with satisfaction.

He didn't offer to stay and help them advance.

Some paths, in the end, you have to walk them yourself.

Some hurdles must be overcome through one's own efforts.

At that moment, the brothers reached a tacit understanding that required no words.

Qin Feng gave them a deep look, then nodded to Wu Yue and the male martial artist beside him as a greeting. Without lingering any longer, he moved and transformed into a streak of light, instantly disappearing into the end of the ruins.

……

Once Qin Feng's figure had completely disappeared, the male martial artist could no longer contain his anxiety and confusion. He strode up to Wang Jie and Wang Hao and angrily asked:
"Ah Jie! Ah Hao! How...how could you just let him leave like that?!"

"Why didn't you try to persuade him to stay? With your older brother around, making it into the top 100,000 is as easy as eating and drinking for our team! How could we let such a great opportunity slip by?!"

Faced with his teammates' questioning, Wang Jie remained unmoved.

He turned around and asked in an unprecedentedly serious tone, "Senior Li Ang, if this is truly a battlefield of all races, a place of life and death, where we need to seize the only resource for survival, then I believe my elder brother would definitely stay and protect us without hesitation."

"But where is this place?"

Wang Jie's gaze swept over the chaotic battlefield.

"This is the best training ground that the Ultra Warriors Legion has meticulously prepared for us, the younger generation, under the name of the 'Starry Sky Cup'! It's a place to cultivate true warriors!"

"What's the use of getting into the top 100,000 by relying on the protection of others and cheating? Is it just to enter the final 100,000 competition, stand on that stage under the spotlight, be defeated in one move, and become a laughing stock?"

Although Wang Hao didn't say anything, he silently stood next to his younger brother, his firm gaze revealing his attitude.

After hearing Wang Jie's words, a hint of approval and appreciation flashed in Wu Yue's eyes.

She nodded slightly and said in a cool voice:
"That's the truth."

Upon seeing this, the male martial artist named "Li Ang" turned pale and then red, and finally he let out a long sigh, his face showing a look of shame.

"...You are right."

He reflected on it seriously for a moment, then solemnly said, "I was being too attached to appearances. Thank you for reminding me."

The brief reunion with the Wang brothers, Hao and Jie, allowed Qin Feng to relax his tense fighting spirit for a moment.

But after they parted ways, he once again transformed into the most efficient and ruthless "hunter" on this vast battlefield.

With no family members around to worry about him, and no hidden experts watching him, he was able to act completely unhindered.

His modus operandi remains focused on the constantly refreshing "resource packs" on the map.

But unlike his initial petty theft of the lowest-level resource packs, he is now more direct and assertive.

……

Three days later, a karst landscape area riddled with holes by acid rain.

A silver-white alloy box, shimmering with a faint light, is quietly suspended atop a stalagmite that is hundreds of meters tall.

Below the stalagmite, a dozen or so level six martial artists of considerable strength were engaged in a fierce and chaotic battle over the resource pack.

Just then, a figure, like a meteorite falling from the sky, crashed into the center of the battlefield with unparalleled power!
It was Qin Feng.

He made no attempt to conceal himself, nor did he launch any sneak attack.

And so, in a dignified and imposing manner, it descended upon everyone.

The [Raging Waves] spear in his hand was pointed at everyone present.

A terrifying, almost tangible aura swept outwards from him!
All the martial artists present were so shocked by this sudden turn of events and by the domineering aura emanating from Qin Feng that their minds trembled violently, and for a moment no one dared to move.

"Playing tricks! Everyone, attack together and eliminate him!"

After a brief silence, some defiant martial artists finally mustered their courage and charged at Qin Feng with a roar.

Once there was a first, there was a second, a third...

However, what awaited them was a defeat that was not in doubt.

Qin Feng didn't even use the "Attack Step" technique; he simply stood still, his [Raging Waves] spear transforming into the scythe of death.

In just ten seconds, all of the dozen or so warriors who had launched the initial charge were eliminated.

The remaining martial artists, who were still hesitating, saw this scene of cutting melons and vegetables and no longer dared to have any covetous thoughts. They fled frantically into the distance.

The entire battlefield was cleared in an instant.

Qin Feng then leisurely took to the air and pocketed the resource package at the top of the stalagmite.

……

As time went on, Qin Feng's style of doing things became increasingly high-profile and assertive.

He was no longer satisfied with the lowest-level resource packs, which were worth 10,000 contribution points.

His focus gradually shifted to the tiny red dots on the map, which resembled grains of rice and represented higher-level resources.

Some of these resource packs are worth 50,000 contribution points and contain higher-level psionic potions.

Of course, the higher the level of the resource package, the more formidable the competitors it attracts.

Those who have the qualifications and courage to compete for these high-level resources are, without exception, the most outstanding individuals in this competition.

Their vitality index is almost never below 15,000 points.

The level four killing techniques they practiced had all reached at least the 'mastery' stage.

Qin Feng even encountered several top experts like Shi Cang and Qin Yonglin, whose vitality index had reached 18,000 points, the "first limit," and who had cultivated a level four killing technique to the "perfect" state.

In his battles against these equally powerful opponents, Qin Feng also experienced several bloody battles.

But the final outcome has never changed.

He always wins.

The reason is simply that his physical body was far too terrifying.

In a peak duel where both had 18,000 points of life force and both had "perfected" killing techniques, Qin Feng's terrifying physical body, which resembled the potential of a "starry sky behemoth," and the all-round enhancement brought by the "top-grade Yuan Aperture" demonstrated an overwhelming advantage.

His strength was several times that of his opponent.

His speed is several times that of his opponent.

His stamina and recovery ability are several times that of his opponents!
Under such overwhelming strength, Qin Feng's killing techniques were equally formidable. One expert after another could only suffer defeat and turn into white light, becoming another stepping stone under Qin Feng's fierce and fearsome reputation.

……

Time flew by amidst this endless battle and hunt.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

His name has become a terrifying legend known to everyone in the entire Level 6 Martial Arts Tournament.

He is a walking "super treasure trove," and also a "mobile natural disaster" that all contestants try to avoid at all costs.

His achievements over the past month have been astonishing.

The total value of the various high-level psionic potions, mental energy recovery potions, and rare cultivation resources that he had acquired was already close to a terrifying five million contribution points!
This huge sum of money is enough to drive most students crazy.

At the same time, the psionic aura that enveloped the entire arena had shrunk from its initial distant horizon to a very small area.

All the surviving martial artists were driven into the same area by this merciless "poison circle," and the distance between them became closer than ever before.

The frequency of battles also reached its peak.

However, later on, Qin Feng found that he could hardly find any opponents willing to fight him.

When everyone sees his iconic, enormous red dot approaching on the map, they react as if they've seen a ghost, immediately choosing to detour and giving him no chance to fight.

His infamous reputation is already well-known.

Of course, Qin Feng could also clearly sense that on this battlefield, which had been compressed to the extreme, there were still some extremely powerful and terrifying auras that even he felt his heart tremble.

Some of the owners of those auras had even cultivated several different level-four killing techniques to the "perfect" level, and could use them at will and switch between them at will.

Even more remarkably, Qin Feng once sensed from afar that a powerful swordsman, in the midst of a duel, was displaying a killing move that faintly carried the rudiments of "one mind, nine uses," and was only a hair's breadth away from a true level five killing move!
These are the monsters who truly stand at the top of the pyramid in this preliminary round.

They seized a great deal of resources, and the red dot representing them was even larger than Qin Feng's.

"Ning Jing and the others... I guess they've already been eliminated."

Qin Feng sat alone atop a mountain peak, looking down at the land below engulfed in flames of war, and couldn't help but sigh.

He tried to contact Long Yu, Nissan, and Ning Jing, but there was never any response on his personal terminal.

In a match, this usually only means one possibility—the opponent has already been teleported out of the game.

"And Wang Jie and Wang Hao, I'm afraid... are the same."

This bloody selection process, involving billions of people, is simply too cruel.

To carve out a bloody path through this meat grinder and firmly squeeze into the ranks of the top 100,000, then the 18,000 points of vitality index in the "First Limit" and the level 4 killing technique in the "Perfect" realm have almost become "essential" configurations.

Failure to meet any of these criteria could very likely result in being ruthlessly eliminated in the increasingly frequent and intense encounters that follow.

Just then, that majestic yet cold electronic synthesized voice finally, for the last time, resounded throughout the entire sky.

The number of players remaining at the stadium has reached 100,000.

[Official match concluded.]

Congratulations to all the surviving participants! You have successfully advanced to the next round.

The moment the words fell, beams of soft white light descended from the sky, enveloping Qin Feng and all the remaining 100,000 victors on this battlefield.

The next instant, a flash of light appeared.

The entire bloody battlefield was instantly deserted.

When Qin Feng opened his eyes again, he was back on that plain.

Please take three days to rest before heading to the 100,000-strong arena.

[Congratulations on winning the event reward: one month of time to study the Ultimate Enlightenment Monument.]
