High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 220 The Oriole Awaits! A Terrifying Scheme! The Greenskins vs. the Zerg, Qin Feng is the Oriole Awaits!

Qin Feng's figure left a faint afterimage in the void, silently descending upon the entrance to the already bustling circular mountain secret realm.

He did not deliberately release his aura, but the aura that naturally emanated from him after twenty years of seclusion and a tenfold increase in strength was as deep and serene as an abyss. It was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a huge wave among the hundreds of thousands of contestants around him.

"What a terrifying aura... Who is this person?"

"He doesn't have any battle group markings on him; he's a lone wolf!"

"This kind of oppressive aura is definitely from a monster ranked at the top of the combat power list!"

Among the crowd, countless gazes, some filled with surprise, some with apprehension, and some with scrutiny, all converged on Qin Feng.

He simply stood there calmly, as if he had become the center of everything, causing the surrounding clamor to subside involuntarily.

Soon, someone recognized his identity.

"It's Qin Feng! 'Madman' Qin Feng!"

"I remember now, he's ranked forty-second on the combat power list! Twenty years ago, he single-handedly killed Wolf Seven and Wolf Ten of the 'Shadow Moon Wolf'!"

"So it was him! Twenty years have passed, and his aura... seems even more terrifying than the rumors!"

"..."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The name "Qin Feng" struck like a thunderbolt, instantly igniting the entire audience.

His clean, decisive, and domineering revenge battle twenty years ago had already made him famous.

The moment the real person appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Many powerful individuals, whose auras were equally formidable, looked at Qin Feng with increasing intensity.

Faced with this universally acknowledged stellar-level opportunity that requires teamwork to overcome, Qin Feng, a top-tier expert whose strength has been proven in bloody battles, is undoubtedly the most ideal temporary teammate.

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, and some were even about to step forward to speak, a calm yet authoritative voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire venue, easily silencing all the noise.

"Everyone."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a powerful figure dressed in magnificent purple power armor standing at the highest point in front of the entrance to the secret realm.

His power armor was engraved with intricate falcon totems, exuding an air of grandeur, like a born monarch.

He simply stood there, and naturally became the center of heaven and earth, as if even the light had to bow down before him.

It is none other than Cang, the top genius who ranks first in both the combat power ranking and the points ranking in this galaxy!

Qin Feng's pupils contracted slightly. He felt a pressure from the other party that was several times more terrifying than Wolf Seven and Wolf Ten combined.

He did not make any rash moves. With a sway of his body, he landed on a boulder and turned his gaze to the king who had spoken, listening quietly.

Cang's voice rang out, clearly reaching everyone's ears, carrying an unquestionable credibility.

"As you all know, I, Cang, am currently ranked first on both the combat power list and the points list, so my words carry some weight."

"The situation within the secret realm has been largely explored thanks to the sacrifices of countless pioneers."

The number of Zerg is so great that it is impossible to count, enough to exhaust the strength of any squad.

Even an elite squad of a hundred would face annihilation if they went in.

Cang surveyed the entire room, his gaze calm and profound.

"Therefore, I propose that our hundreds of thousands of warriors here temporarily form an offensive and defensive alliance, and together storm into the insect hive to wipe out all the insect guards with an overwhelming numerical advantage."

"As for the final spoils—that stellar-level Mother Nest Will—its ownership is uncertain; we'll each have to fight for it based on our own abilities. What do you say?"

These words immediately sparked an even more heated discussion among the crowd.

Cang's suggestion seems to be the only solution under the current circumstances, and also the fairest solution.

However, none of those who have survived this bloody trial to this day are simple-minded fools.

Many of them were even ruthless individuals who had died seven or eight times and fought their way back from the hunt; their mental fortitude far surpassed that of ordinary people.

After a brief commotion, a loud laugh filled with mockery and disdain suddenly resounded through the sky.

"Hahahaha! Cang, what you're saying is certainly high-sounding!"

Everyone turned to look, and saw a burly, powerful figure emanating a similarly strong aura stepping out from the crowd.

He carried a huge battle axe, his face bearing undisguised sarcasm.

Qin Feng recognized him. This person was named Mobi, a top ten powerhouse on the combat power list, who possessed the inheritance of a king and was known for his arrogant personality.

Moby pointed the handle of his battle axe at Cang high above and angrily cursed, "Your plan sounds simple, and it sounds like it's for everyone's good."

But in reality, it's because even you yourself have no confidence in single-handedly breaking through that endless swarm of insects that you're trying to manipulate us all into becoming your free laborers, clearing obstacles for you!"

His voice was like thunder, striking everyone's heart.

"As for the fact that only the Will of the Nest remained in the end? Everyone was blinded by greed, and they fought each other in a frenzy!"

Moby's disdain was palpable. "By then, who among us can rival you for the top spot on the combat power ranking?!"

He looked around and shouted to all the participants, "That stellar-level Mother Nest Will isn't a cake that can be cut into hundreds of thousands of pieces and distributed among us! There's only one! Whoever grabs it gets it!"
Why should we risk our own destruction to benefit you?

I'm telling you, anyone who believes his nonsense is the biggest fool in the world!

These ruthless, blunt, and even vulgar words were like a sharp blade, instantly piercing through the facade of "righteousness" that Cang had created, and exposing the most naked conflict of interests to everyone.

"Moby is right!"

Why should we risk our lives only to let you reap the rewards?

"That's right! We will never be fooled into working for you!"

The sentiment is exciting.

Everyone's smart enough to understand this without Mobi saying it.

The situation reached a stalemate.

Over the next few days, Cang spoke up several more times and tried other solutions.

For example, he proposed inviting only the strongest individuals who had comprehended the King's Legacy to form an elite team to jointly explore the territory.

However, there were still very few respondents.

These top talents are all proud and arrogant individuals. None of them are willing to be subordinate to others, and they do not believe in the so-called "allocation".

Qin Feng observed the boulder quietly for several days and had already formed his own judgment.

Cang simply could not muster a force strong enough to wipe out the insect hive.

These unruly geniuses cannot be easily integrated.

More importantly, there is only one Hive Will, and whoever gets it gets it; there's no way to distribute it. As for the other Zerg corpses, they're useless, and nobody wants them.

Of course, if it were Qin Feng, he could have the "Star Devouring" spear absorb hundreds of millions of Zerg corpses, since Zerg can produce bio-armor alloys by consuming large amounts of inorganic matter.

"If this doesn't work out, I'll be going now!"

Qin Feng thought for a moment, then laughed loudly, turned around, transformed into a streak of light, and left decisively, disappearing into the horizon.

His departure seemed to be a signal.

Many martial artists who were still observing shook their heads and transformed into streaks of light, scattering in different directions.

However, Qin Feng did not actually go far.

He simply flew away from this place of trouble and found a more secluded valley on this vast planet, where he once again concealed all his presence and quietly lay dormant.

He had his own plans in mind.

Time slipped away bit by bit in this daily stalemate and waiting.

Just as Qin Feng had predicted, after confirming that Cang was unable to mount an effective offensive, the number of warriors gathered at the entrance of the secret realm began to decrease at a visible rate.

The difficulty of obtaining such a stellar-level opportunity is simply too great.

During this period, numerous small teams, either confident in their strength or defiant of evil, entered the area, but without exception, they all vanished without a trace, failing to even make a ripple, and none ever emerged alive.

The harsh reality made everyone realize that this insect hive was nothing short of a meat grinder.

Gradually, the martial artists outside also completely lost patience.

The trial galaxy clusters for the Cosmic Genius Battle are vast, and there are many more opportunities at the stellar level than just this one. There's no need to fight to the death here.

As a result, more and more people chose to leave and try their luck at other opportunities.

A full year has passed.

The entrance to the secret realm, which was once teeming with people and gathered hundreds of thousands of geniuses, is now deserted and desolate.

However, through Qin Feng's "River Realm" spiritual perception, he clearly knew that this place was not deserted.

Besides himself, there were four other powerful and terrifying auras that remained entrenched in this place and never left.

One of them, naturally, is Cang, who ranks first on the combat power list.

The other three auras also belonged to top-tier geniuses who had comprehended the legacy of the King-Conferring Ceremony.

Their cultivation levels had all reached the Planetary Level "River Realm", and their inherited killing techniques had all reached the "Great Completion" level!
Qin Feng remained patient and waited quietly.

Because he knew that this battle of cosmic geniuses, though called a competition, was actually a training exercise.

However, behind the training, there is inevitably an element of assessment.

The organizers of the competition would never set up a dead end that a planetary-level martial artist could not overcome.

Qin Feng had also looked at the other stellar-level resource points in the private forum posts, and their difficulty was definitely not much easier, and was even more difficult than this place, which was why Qin Feng had not left.

Cang is not a fool who would be intimidated by difficulties.

His previous series of seemingly unsuccessful actions were more like a meticulously planned performance.

A performance designed to drive away all other potential competitors, so that at the last minute, someone else can "steal the fruits".

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Qin Feng had predicted.

After confirming that there were no more lurking individuals around, the four powerful individuals finally gathered together.

One of them was none other than Mobi, who had openly contradicted Cang in front of everyone and dismissed his plan as worthless!

Seeing this, Qin Feng's last trace of doubt vanished.

These two probably planned everything long ago, and together they staged that "good cop, bad cop" drama.

As for the other two, Qin Feng roughly guessed their identities based on information from the forum.

One of them is the successor of the "Heavenly Eye King," named Yan Wu, a male martial artist whose aura is as scorching as the blazing sun.

The other is the inheritor of the "Extreme Cold King," named Leng Yu, a female martial artist whose aura is as cold as ten thousand years of mysterious ice.

Cang, Mobi, Yanwu, Lengyu.

These four are all monster-level beings ranked in the top ten of the combat power list of Galaxy 117!
Just when Qin Feng thought the four of them were about to join forces to enter the secret realm, a sudden change occurred.

A heavy, suffocating roar rose from the distant horizon, as if an invisible giant god was slowly approaching across the galaxy.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal sphere, so large it blotted out the sky, tore through the atmosphere of the "Heart of Rot" and appeared out of thin air on the surface of the earth!
It was a metal moon that had been transformed into a war fortress. Its surface was covered with all sorts of ferocious and bizarre green orc graffiti. Countless menacing cannon muzzles and simple yet violently aesthetically pleasing war chariots densely covered every inch of its surface.

A chaotic, violent, and terrifying aura, existing solely for the sake of "WAAAGH!", swept in from all directions.

"Battle Moon!"

Hidden deep in the valley, Qin Feng felt a surge of turbulent emotions.

He never imagined that Cang and his group of four's plan was to cooperate with the natives of this planet, those crazy green-skinned orcs!
The "Battle Moon," covered in grotesque graffiti, hovered arrogantly in the low orbit of the "Rotten Heart," its massive size casting a shadow that enveloped almost the entire crater's secret realm.

A primal, chaotic "WAAAGH!" force field, existing solely for pure violence and war, swept across an area spanning tens of thousands of miles like an invisible storm.

A possibility that Qin Feng, and even the hundreds of thousands of other participants, had overlooked, was now presented to him in the most shocking way.

"That's it...that's it!"

In Qin Feng's mind, countless clues were quickly connected and integrated at this moment, forming a complete and logically consistent chain of thought.

"This planet is itself a huge battlefield, where endless green-skinned orcs and insectoids emerging from the secret realm have been fighting for countless years."

"For us outsider planetary-level warriors, there seems to be only one way to obtain the stellar-level opportunity within the insect hive: to gather all the participants here and form a massive coalition of over 100,000 people to forcefully storm into the insect hive with overwhelming numbers."

"But it's obvious that this method simply can't be implemented."

Qin Feng's eyes were incredibly sharp. "The contestants are suspicious of each other, distrust each other, and no one is willing to do the work for someone else. Cang's previous failed 'alliance' is the best proof of that."

"So, there is a second method. A more covert, more insane, and less likely to be detected..."

"That is, to cooperate with the greens!"

Having figured this out, Qin Feng couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

He had to admit that Cang, who had always given him a sense of unfathomable mystery, was indeed a real person.

This courage and vision to break free from conventional thinking and take risks is far beyond what ordinary geniuses can match.

At least, Qin Feng himself had never imagined that he would have to deal with these chaotic and crazy green-skinned orcs.

But now that this possibility is right in front of him, he thought about it carefully and immediately realized that the feasibility of this plan is extremely high!
Of course, the risks involved are equally enormous.

First and foremost, the green-skinned orcs are a powerful force that cannot be ignored.

The fact that they have been able to fight the Zerg, who possess star-level hives, on this planet for so many years, and even subtly gain the upper hand, in itself represents their strength. At least in terms of high-end combat power, they are capable of contending with the Zerg swarm.

Using this force to attack the insect hive is undoubtedly a brilliant strategy of using someone else to kill them and using one enemy to control another.

Secondly, the Green-skinned Orcs have a deeply ingrained preference.

That is, they have an almost pathological, religious fanatical desire for "WAAAGH!", that is, a fierce and earth-shattering battle.

Throughout the long history of human empires, there have been many audacious generals or adventurers who, by promising a certain greenskin tribe a "wow!" battle, temporarily forged cooperation with these chaotic creatures and used them to attack more formidable enemies—a classic example of such tactics.

Cang's plan is clearly a replication of this historical experience.

Finally, there is the risk.

Cooperating with the green-skinned people is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

Although this race may seem extremely irrational in its actions, even somewhat endearingly foolish, their true nature is cruel and cunning, cunning and cruel.

No one knows what chaotic and deadly conspiracies are hidden beneath their seemingly foolish exterior.

One second they're fighting side by side, the next they're stabbing each other in the back—this kind of thing is commonplace for the green-skinned people.

Qin Feng went through all the pros and cons in his mind and finally decided to continue to endure and remain silent.

He concealed his aura to the extreme, and even the fluctuations of his spiritual power were compressed to an imperceptible range, like a real stubborn rock in this desolate mountain range.

"Fortunately, I digested all the resources of Wolf Seven and Wolf Ten during my seclusion, and my strength has made a huge leap, firmly entering the top ten of the combat power ranking. Otherwise, with my previous strength, I probably wouldn't have been able to hide from Cang and the others at such close range."

Qin Feng secretly rejoiced.

He calculated carefully.

Although Cang, Mobi, Yanwu, and Lengyu are all top-tier experts, they would have no chance of discovering their existence unless they possessed any special secret techniques or trump cards specifically for detection and perception.

"Fortune favors the bold... Who knows, this time we might really get an unimaginable opportunity. We must be fully prepared."

Once the thought crossed Qin Feng's mind, he no longer hesitated.

On a whim, he accessed his contribution value balance.

[Contribution Value: 10,150,000]

The points he gained from killing Wolf Seven and Wolf Ten, along with the points he earned from eliminating pirates during the previous hunt, have all been converted into contribution points.

This was a fortune enough to drive any planetary-level powerhouse mad. He immediately connected to the Empire's trading post's virtual network and began searching through this vast treasure trove for powerful trump cards that could deliver the decisive blow at crucial moments.

One-time-use violent weapons, and disguise artifacts capable of simulating the aura of a stellar-level powerhouse for a short period of time...

Qin Feng carefully selected the items.

He doesn't seek quantity, but quality.

Every bit of contribution should be spent wisely.

Just as Qin Feng was busily preparing his backup plan, the "negotiations" outside were also getting down to business.

The enormous "battle moon" slowly descended, eventually hovering in mid-air a thousand meters above the ground.

A rough metal gangway was lowered, and a terrifying orc, ten meters tall and as imposing as a small mountain, slowly emerged, surrounded by a group of equally ferocious guards.

It wore a crudely made power armor pieced together from countless trophies, exuding a violent aesthetic, and held a giant chainsaw sword wider than a door panel, still buzzing.

A terrifying aura, a mixture of blood, rust, and madness, swept over us.

"I am the Green-skinned Boss, 'Big Belly'!"

This terrifying green-skinned war boss actually spoke clearly in an Imperial language that, although strangely accented, was absolutely understandable, as he introduced himself to Cang and the others below in a deep, muffled voice.

As soon as it finished speaking, the green-skinned orcs behind it immediately seemed to be injected with chicken blood, raising their crude machetes and guns and letting out roars that were neither meaningful nor extremely excited.

"WAAAGH! Big belly!"

Cang's expression remained unchanged. He looked up at the colossal figure and said in a deep voice, "A war that is truly 'WAAAGH!' is about to begin."

The Zerg's lair is in that 'hole,' containing countless core Zerg, the weakest of whom are still the 'big guys' in your eyes. So, how about it, is this battlefield exciting enough?"

"The coordinates you provided are excellent! Very good!"

The green-skinned leader, nicknamed "Big Belly," grinned, revealing a cruel smile with rows of dagger-like fangs clearly visible.

"I'll personally lead my lads to twist the heads off those little bugs! I hope they're worthy opponents and won't let me and my lads down!"

As it spoke, it gestured with its enormous chainsaw sword towards Cang and the others, as if to greet them or to show off.

Cang, Leng Yu, Yan Wu, and Mo Bi exchanged a tacit glance, each seeing a resolute look in the other's eyes.

The plan is already halfway to success.

Without any unnecessary words, the four of them transformed into four streams of light of different colors and rushed straight into the entrance of the secret realm that was flashing with an eerie light at an astonishing speed, disappearing instantly.

Seeing the four enter, the green-skinned leader, "Big Belly," let out a deafening laugh and turned back to the "Battle Moon."

Immediately afterwards, something happened that sent chills down Qin Feng's spine.

The enormous war fortress, suspended in mid-air like a small satellite, had countless engines on its surface simultaneously spewing out dazzling exhaust flames.

Without the slightest hesitation, it adjusted its angle in an unreasonable manner and crashed straight into that unstable subspace fragment—the entrance to the Zerg's secret realm!

boom! ! !
The space trembled violently, and the entrance to the secret realm was forcibly torn apart and expanded dozens of times, like a gaping mouth that had been forcibly opened.

That enormous "battle moon" vanished into the distorted light and shadow amidst a series of teeth-grinding spatial friction sounds.

The world fell silent once again.

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and revealed himself from his hiding place.

He did not follow up immediately.

The most dangerous moments are often not when the battle is at its most intense, but rather at the beginning and the end.

He needed to confirm whether there were any other variables involved.

He waited quietly outside the entrance for another day.

Carefully selecting the cards.

Finally, Qin Feng spent 1000 million contribution points to purchase a Planetary-level S-rank psionic field gun.

This psionic field gun is extremely powerful. When activated by mental energy, it can fire a psionic beam that can easily obliterate the physical body of a planetary-level expert. It also comes with a mental energy interference field, making it impossible to defend against. However, it can only be used once, which will exhaust all the energy in the miniature psionic core. It is a one-time violent weapon.

There are also higher grades of this weapon that can be used multiple times, but they are much more expensive.

After confirming that no third-party forces had intervened, and that the terrifying roar of war, like billions of thunderbolts exploding simultaneously, could be faintly heard from within the secret realm.

Qin Feng took a deep breath, and with a flash, he too transformed into an almost imperceptible stream of light, disappearing into the distorted, flickering light.

The moment Qin Feng passed through the ripples of space, which resembled waves, and stepped into the Zerg's secret realm, a thick, almost tangible smell of blood and burnt stench, mixed with the Zerg's unique sour, putrid odor, hit him, almost suffocating him.

Before me lay a broken and chaotic world.

The sky was a strange dark red, as if it had been stained with endless blood.

The land is crisscrossed with ravines, and huge explosion craters and tearing marks can be seen everywhere.

As far as the eye could see, the entire world was covered with corpses—grotesque and twisted insectoid carapace fragments and rough, wild green-skinned orc pieces piled up layer upon layer, forming a bloody, apocalyptic scene.

Various fragments of power armor still lingered in the air, some still flickering with undying electric arcs.

Clearly, countless battles of unimaginable ferocity had taken place here before he entered.

Qin Feng did not act rashly.

Like a drop of water merging into the ocean, he silently reduced his presence to a minimum. Then, his immense spiritual power, which had already advanced to the "River Realm," surged out in all directions like an invisible tide in an extremely secretive and slow manner.

The whole process lasted a full ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Hamer, integrate the data and build a 3D map."

"Command received, building..."

On his power armor HUD interface, an incredibly detailed holographic map of the secret realm quickly took shape.

Mountains, rivers, canyons, insect nests... all the topography and landforms are on full display.

On the map, several dots of different colors are flashing, representing all the top experts in this area.

"The four red dots are Cang, Lengyu, Yanwu, and Mobi."

Qin Feng's gaze fell on one of the red dots closest to the entrance. "Mobi is in charge of covering the rear and is patrolling and monitoring the area near the entrance, probably to prevent other martial artists from entering and disrupting their plans. However... he hasn't spotted me."

"That brightest green dot is undoubtedly the green-skinned leader, 'Big Belly.' Its energy reaction is even stronger than Cang's, but it doesn't seem to have reached the intensity that a star should have, and it's far weaker than the queen of the hive."

"Perhaps the green-skinned ones are hiding some other tricks."

"As for the largest orange dot in the center of the map... that should be the queen at the very core of the hive, the location of that stellar-level maternal will."

Qin Feng quietly looked at the real-time dynamic map on the HUD interface, and the situation of the entire battlefield was already clear in his mind.

At this moment, an unprecedented war is raging fiercely on the central plains of the secret realm.

Tens of millions of green-skinned orcs, roaring "WAAAGH!", clashed violently with the equally endless swarm of insects.

Amidst the clash of swords and the roar of energy, thousands of lives perish every second.

This chaotic battlefield was also interspersed with a considerable number of giant Zerg units and green-skinned war machines that emitted planetary energy fluctuations.

As for the instigators, Cang, Lengyu, Yanwu, and Mobi, they hid like ghosts in a secluded canyon far from the main battlefield, quietly watching the bloody drama they had orchestrated, without any intention of intervening.

"Indeed, they were sitting on the sidelines watching the tigers fight."

Qin Feng understood.

The green-skinned orcs and the insectoids are, in some ways, archenemies.

If the overall strength of both sides is roughly equal, then it is not uncommon for a war to last for hundreds of years.

However, there is actually a delicate balance and restraint between the two.

The Zerg's greatest advantage lies in their terrifying ability to "mass produce" units and their resource conversion efficiency. As long as there are enough resources, they can continuously create an endless swarm of Zerg.

However, their fatal flaw lies in the fact that the "Queen" who serves as the command center often does not have outstanding individual combat power.

The green-skinned ones are the exact opposite.

Their reproduction and development speed is far slower than that of the Zerg, but their individual combat power, especially that of the "War Boss" as the leader, will soar to an extremely terrifying level under the blessing of the "WAAAGH!" force field, enough to crush any opponent of the same level.

Just like it is now.

When the Greenskin leader "Bigbellied" led his elite "Battlemoon" core force out in full force and descended directly into the core area of ​​the Zerg hive, the balance of this protracted tug-of-war began to tilt irreversibly toward the Greenskin orcs.

"WAAAGH!" The force field was spreading wildly from the center of "Big Belly," and all the green skins covered by it fell into a frenzied, fearless state, their combat power rising several levels out of thin air.

"If this trend continues, the Greenskins will eventually win, but the process will definitely not be easy."

Qin Feng calmly analyzed, "The Zerg's numerical advantage still exists. To completely breach the Zerg hive and reach the Queen, the most optimistic estimate is that it will take thirty or forty years..."

Is it really worth staying here?

A real problem was presented to Qin Feng.

The total duration of the matches in the major war zones is one thousand years.

Spending thirty or even forty years here, which is three to four percent of the total competition... if you end up with nothing, it will be a complete loss.

While pondering, he opened the private forum and quickly browsed the latest updates of the other stellar-level opportunity points.

Qin Feng discovered that the situation in those places was equally dire.

At each opportunity point, extremely fierce conflicts erupted, with a large number of top geniuses gathering there and fighting so fiercely that the heavens and earth trembled. However, so far, no one has reported successfully seizing the opportunity.

The discussion on the forums about the Zerg secret realm where he was located has dropped to a freezing point.

Apart from a few posts speculating about the final outcome of this location, the vast majority of participants' attention had already been drawn to the fierce battles in other areas.

Qin Feng quickly calmed himself down and made his final decision.

Let's stay here and wait for the right opportunity.

Risks and opportunities coexist.

Once he obtains a complete stellar-level mother nest will, it will be enough to allow his mental cultivation to directly complete half of the process of constructing the "Boundless Sea"!
Such an incredible opportunity was worth risking his decades of time for.

Once he made up his mind, Qin Feng no longer hesitated.

He carefully avoided Moby's patrol routes on the map and the chaotic energy currents on the battlefield, eventually hiding once again in an underground cave not far from the main battlefield.

All Qin Feng had to do was wait.

Waiting for the war to end, waiting for both sides to be severely weakened, waiting for Cang and the others to make their move...

He wanted to be the last bird to strike.

Time slipped away quietly amidst the bloody war and patient waiting.

In the following years, quite a few martial artists, hoping to get away with it, continued to enter this long-forgotten secret realm.

However, their fate had already been sealed.

These people often didn't even have time to see the true structure inside the secret realm, or even have time to fully spread their spiritual power, before they were powerfully killed by Mobi, who had been waiting for a long time, with overwhelming force.

In their final moments, they may have thought they were killed by powerful Zerg guards within the secret realm.

A few years later, as more and more participants went missing, no one dared to easily set foot in this area marked as "extremely dangerous".

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the vast Trial Star Cluster outside, this place has been almost completely forgotten by all the participants.

What they didn't know was that in the live broadcast rooms of countless viewing organizations in the Empire, and on the official live broadcast channel of the Genius Battle, this war zone named "Rotten Heart" consistently received high attention.

Because countless viewers are witnessing everything that is happening here clearly from a god-like perspective!
"Tsk tsk, this is outrageous. Four of the top ten monsters on the combat power ranking have gathered here, and they're using this kind of method to clear the area."

"I must say, Cang's strategy was indeed brilliant. That back then, his coordinated performance fooled hundreds of thousands of competitors."

Up to now, apart from us viewers, probably no one else knows that they are about to receive an incredible opportunity here!

"It's a pity that man proposes, God disposes."

They had planned everything, but they probably hadn't anticipated that there was another 'madman' named Qin Feng who was even more composed than them.

They waited a whole year for the green-skinned train to arrive. That kind of patience is truly remarkable.

"Well, now we'll see how strong Qin Feng really is. He's been immersed in the 'River Realm' for over twenty years, and he's also mastered the 'King's Legacy,' so he definitely has the qualifications to challenge for the top ten."

"Who knows? To dare to target four of the top ten fighters, including Cang who is number one... Anyone with such ambitions must be quite strong."

Viewers were buzzing on the public channel, filled with anticipation for the upcoming showdown, where the odds were stacked against them.

Of course, the contestants, who were in the secret realm, had no way of knowing any of this.

Otherwise, Qin Feng's existence would probably have been exposed long ago.

……

Venus.

Gu Yue, the mentor, was leisurely lying on a recliner in the meditation room. Watching Qin Feng, who was like an old monk in deep meditation, hiding motionless under a rock, perfectly blending his aura with the environment, Gu Yue couldn't help but chuckle.

"That kid... he's really too cunning."

Lin Yue also laughed out loud.

"How come I never noticed before that this kid was so cunning? He always looked so serious, but I never expected him to be so sly."

Lin Yue chuckled softly, looking at the motionless Qin Feng, and said with a smile, "It's quite a contrast."

"..."

……

Canaan Starry Sky Martial Arts University, Iron Fist Tavern.

"Ahem, how can you call it insidious? This is strategy! It's our senior Qin Feng's top-notch tactical skill!"

A member of the Fearless Legion righteously refuted the "cunning" comments on the screen.

"Speaking of which, Cang is indeed a remarkable person. He actually came up with a way to break the deadlock by using the Greenskins. He's ruthless."

"Yes, that's impressive. Unfortunately, our senior Qin Feng saw right through it. Like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"

"I wonder if Senior Qin Feng, this 'oriole in disguise,' will ultimately succeed."

"..."

Ning Jing, Long Yu, and Nisang remained regulars at the tavern.

While watching Qin Feng's matches via live stream, using them as top-tier practical training, they frantically honed their still-unstable killing techniques in the Imperial Arena, where they had just entered the Planetary level.

All three of them successfully qualified for the top 1,000 in the "Starry Sky Cup," which means they have a ticket to participate in the next "Cosmic Genius Battle."

Meanwhile, the three of them had already made their decision: after watching Qin Feng's spectacular "Ambush from Behind" operation, they would sign up to participate in the competition.

The Cosmic Genius Battle starts very frequently.

The Empire has five million warbands, each with its own unique education and training model that has been proven over countless years.

Every so often, each major battle group would select a group of top young geniuses who had just broken through to the planetary level and send them to the "Cosmic Genius Battle," the grandest and most brutal stage, for the ultimate baptism of blood and fire.

Seeing Qin Feng's performance, Ning Jing and the other two naturally felt the urge to participate in the Cosmic Genius Battle!

None of the three were sure if they could make it into the major battle zone or be eliminated in the minor battle zone.

……

The same story is happening in every corner of the universe.

In the live stream of the battle for more than a dozen star-level resource points and a large number of ordinary resource points, the area with only five players, the Zerg Nest, had the most viewers!
There's no other reason than that these four top-ten fighters, each harboring their own ulterior motives and plotting to ambush each other, are all hiding something. There's Qin Feng, who's waiting to pounce on the enemy; the unfathomable Queen of the Insect Nest; and the cunning and ruthless Greenskin. The show is just too full of highlights.
