Chapter 65: Gigantification

Qin Feng had Xiao Bai properly disguised with her hair curled up, hat over her head and even a pair of sunglasses covering her face.

The only thing was that the sunglasses were a bit too big, then again, it was technically what he bought for himself the last time in case he needed to cover his own appearance.

After Xiao Bai had ranked up to beast king tier, the time was already 7am and there were already people going about their business downstairs. As Qin Feng took Xiao Bai from the elevator to the underground parking lot, he heard many people discussing what just transpired as he passed by.

"Did you feel it just now? That terrifying bearing."

"Yeah. Probably a beast king."

"My alarm didn't go off so it probably wasn't a threat."

"It's probably too fast, that's why it didn't get picked up, some terrifying beast king probably just zipped past or something."

"Thank goodness it's just passing by!"

Everyone seemed relieved. Only Qin Feng, who had Xiao Bai the initiator, did not attempt to participate in the discussion as he got into his hover car and drove out of the basement.

Due to the store they shopped from before having a good impression on Qin Feng and Xiao Bai, this time they directly went to the branded store.

"Welcome… Ah, Mr. Qin!"

A surprised voice sounded and Qin Feng looked up. It was Xiao Lian who he had met at the Eagle Clubhouse yesterday.

Qin Feng was also a little bit surprised.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Lian put on a customary smile before glancing to the side for a moment, and said, "I work here, that stuff at the Eagle Clubhouse was only just my part-time job. I don't do it anymore!"

Qin Feng knew at first glance that she was lying.

Xiao Lian indeed was not telling the truth as she had been working at the Eagle Clubhouse since she was sixteen and could be considered one of the veterans there. Having worked there for so many years, she naturally had several powerhouses backing her up, though the job required one to be young. Also, if someone were unhappy with them they might even turn up cold the next day.

Even though Xiao Lian had worked there for three years, she had experienced matters of life and death, and she had to use her own money to buy therapeutic drugs to survive. As she was without a skill, she did not want to give up that job.

What happened the day before managed to change her life.

Including the money Qin Feng gave her, Xiao Lian had accumulated a total savings of 1.4 million yuan, enough to buy a house in the civilian district.

When you think about it, was not wanting a shelter over one's head the reason why one would work hard?

Xiao Lian made the decisive action to leave the Eagle Clubhouse. Fortunately, she had been sensible and obedient. The Eagle Clubhouse also had a lot of public relations with the local tyrants so she was happily released.

With the money in hand, she briefly thought about how to squander it before remembering the brand of Qin Feng's clothing that was bought from this store.

As soon as she came over, she discovered that it was hiring employees. Xiao Lian immediately decided to work here, hoping to meet Qin Feng someday.

Who would have known that she was this lucky to have arrived ten minutes before Qin Feng did.

"Huh. Not bad." Qin Feng nodded, not bothered to pry into her lie.

It was certainly best to not have to work in that wretched hive of scum and villains like the Eagle Clubhouse.

"It's good that you're here, now help her find a set of clothes. Include sets of undergarment!" Qin Feng sounded a little embarrassed before pointing to Xiao Bai who he had been dragging around.

Xiao Bai was not paying attention, glancing all around.

The last time she came here, she was still a tiny fox. Naturally she only found the wedding dress that little foxes could wear. Today, she decided that clothes for two-legged beasts were much more pleasing.

Though, the sunglasses made everything around her too dark. She reached up and pulled down her sunglasses to reveal her devastatingly beautiful face.

"I want this one, and that one and this one!

Without holding back, Xiao Bai started to choose what she wanted.

"Yeah, tell her what you want. You can go take a look!" Qin Feng put Xiao Bai in Xiao Lian's hands before shuffling off to the sofa to rest.

Perhaps he was truly exhausted as he was unable to stop his eyes from closing as he recuperated.

Xiao Bai did not cling onto Qin Feng, instead she started picking up clothes that she wanted and dashed into the fitting room.

When Xiao Lian saw Xiao Bai, she developed a strong sense of jealousy.

This girl had very beautiful looks even though she looked like a child. Yet, she was very alluring and even her voice sounded nice.

Not only that, Qin Feng's indulgent attitude hurt Xiao Lian's feelings, he treated her like an attendant, yet when dealing with this other girl, he was unconsciously spoiling her.

"Miss, over here please, what are your measurements? We have all sizes here!"

"What size? I don't know? Didn't the Master say that you were supposed to help me?" Xiao Bai said as a matter of factly.

Xiao Lian felt like her heart was getting squeezed.

Xiao Lian smiled and said stiffly, "Then let's try it out, here please!"

The two women entered the fitting room. While Xiao Lian had money and power, in comparison to this other girl she felt like an old fox.

Xiao Lian was jealous deep down, and she could not stop herself from being sharp and unkind with her words, perhaps even thinking about some minor bad intentions.

"Xiao Bai, you call Mr. Qin your master. Are you his servant?"

Xiao Bai gave the other a strange look before thinking about how she got along with Qin Feng and said indifferently, "No, more like he serves me! He prepares food for me, and will buy me presents when I get angry!"

It really was Qin Feng serving her!

Xiao Lian's face contorted a little.

This girl was deliberately showing off!

Xiao Bai was an ultra beast and had very keen senses. At this time, she would no longer stand Xiao Lian's hostility and lost it for a moment.

Her tone became chilly, not bearing any fury but full of prestige, sort of similar to the aura that Qin Feng gave off.

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Lian was dumbstruck. After gasping, she screamed, "…Aaah! A monster!"

Qin Feng who had been resting his eyes to recuperate immediately opened his eyes and rushed toward the fitting room in the fastest pace he could physically perform, then his eyes widened as he found a terrified Xiao Lian and an innocent looking Xiao Bai.

He wanted to slam his head into the wall at that moment.

Chapter 66: The Dark Plague

"Stop fussing. She is a user with transfiguration ability. This happens all the time," Qin Feng explained.

Xiao Lian was hardly convinced. She looked at Qin Feng suspiciously.

"Stop sticking your nose in matters that you are not supposed to know. Get out of here," Qin Feng ordered.

"My apologies, Mr. Qin."

To Xiao Lian, this man was full of mystery.

She knew that Qin Feng was an orphan that had only awakened about a month ago. However, his unparalleled growth in strength and the peculiar girl by his side were highly unusual. Could he be some sort of secret human weapon developed by the authorities?

Xiao Lian created all sorts of headcanons regarding Qin Feng's identity without knowing that her idol, too, was having a headache inside the fitting room.

"What on earth happened?" Qin Feng could not help but ask.

Xiao Bai answered, "That female human was being funny. She said I must first grow before I am allowed to serve you. She even criticized me for looking awful in this dress!"

Xiao Bai had just learned how to put on human attire. The V-neck gown on her generously exposed her deep cleavage. Qin Feng touched his nostril to make sure he was not having a nosebleed.

What kind of nonsense did Xiao Lian just utter?

"Your current look does not match such a body shape. Ignore what she had just said."

Qin Feng did not care about the child-like look on such a sexy body.

"Is that so? But I think I look better this way."

Xiao Bai did not seem to be easily persuaded.

"If that is so, then at least reduce the size."

"Alright then…" Xiao Bai agreed reluctantly.

"Smaller!" Qin Feng ordered with a hoarse voice.

"How about this?"

Qin Feng reached out and felt it with his hand. He then nodded. "Okay, this should do."

Xiao Bai looked into the mirror and examined herself.

"I see. So the size is a little exaggerated just now. I get it now!"

Qin Feng was speechless.

The embarrassing shopping spree finally came to an end after Qin Feng personally picked a bra and brought a few more clothes for Xiao Bai.

'Is it because my body is still very young right now?'

Qin Feng suppressed his inner desire gushing through his blood vessels. He had been fighting a lot after he was reborn and he now realized that he might have other needs to fulfill…

However, he soon discarded the thought once Xiao Bai's charming yet naïve face came before his sight.

"Let's go. We need to go get you an identity." This idea came into Qin Feng's mind when Xiao Bai had taken the human form.

There should not be much of a hassle for her to get one now with a human appearance.

Qin Feng led Xiao Bai back to the orphanage. Those threats by the gangsters the day before were still lingering in his mind. He was worried and figured that it was best to pay the orphanage a visit to check on the kids.

The orphanage was as crowded as always. Nevertheless, the kids were not as lively. They appeared lethargic and seemed to be shrouded by a gloomy aura.

Qin Feng furrowed his brows.

"This is odd. What's the matter?" He was perplexed.

The kids were still excited to see Qin Feng. A lot of them recognized him from before. "It's the big bro that brought us a lot of meat!"

"Brother Qin!'

"Hi, Brother Qin!"

"Hi, kiddos! How are you guys today?"

Qin Feng dragged a kid closer to him and patted his head.

"Have you all eaten the meat that I brought over?"

"Yea!"

"How many?"

The kid in his arm was only three to four years old. He did not really know how to count yet. Besides, who would have counted how much meat one had eaten?

Despite that, some older kids responded, "We had ten slices. We are much stronger now after eating the tasty meat!"

Qin Feng pinched the kid's shoulder and nodded. Indeed, the kid's build had grown larger from the last time he met him. The dark aura on his face was less prominent as well.

"Master, they are infected by the black plague," Xiao Bai informed him.

Qin Feng was stunned. He frowned and said, "How's that possible?"

He did experience the same incident before his rebirth. The kids in the orphanage were infected by the contagion and none of them survived the epidemic. He had already absorbed the Hell Stone beforehand and had hunted down numerous Corrupted Ultra Beasts to stop the spread. What was the source of the contagion this time?

"Nothing is impossible, my dear master. However, all you need to do is simply absorb the dark rune of this plaque with your ability and the kids will be safe," Xiao Bai suggested. This was a natural phenomenon for Xiao Bai, who had an ultra-beast inheritance.

Xiao Bai may be ignorant toward the human social code but when it came to knowledge about runes, human beings' hundreds of years of research would still be dwarfed by Xiao Bai's heritage.

Qin Feng hence followed Xiao Bai's instruction and activated his ability.

The kids did not understand the conversation between them and looked curiously at Xiao Bai. All of them were stunned by her beauty.

"Big Sis, you are just like an angel!"

Xiao Bai returned the compliment with a mesmerizing smile and the kids immediately ditched Qin Feng for her.

Qin Feng did not stop them and focused on sipping in the dark force.

He did not close his eyes. Even without the Inner Vision, he could tell that the dark rune representing death was detaching from the younglings bit by bit as it rushed toward his mind.

The smiles on the kids' faces were growing larger and larger. It was as if their discomfort and lethargy had evaporated, being bathed by Xiao Bai's gracious presence.

"Phew!"

Finally, the dark cloud around the kids had completely vanished. Qin Feng was relieved and troubled at the same time.

There must be some explanation for this. Otherwise, these kids would not have fallen prey to the contagion.

Qin Feng decided that he would go back and check out on the place where he had previously found the Hell Stone.

"We should go in now, Xiao Bai."

They waved goodbye to the children and marched toward the director's office.

"Qin Feng, it's you!"

"How are you, my old director?"

Qin Feng greeted the director and was pleased to see that the old man was in good shape.

"I am fine. Who is this pretty lady? Don't tell me she is your girlfriend?" Lin Derong was surprised by Qin Feng's company and took a jab at him.

"Er… Where should I begin…" Qin Feng wanted to deny it at first but realized that it might actually be just the plausible decoy he needed.

It was not like he could tell the director that Xiao Bai was his pet!

Similarly, would it not be weird if Xiao Bai were to tell others that Qin Feng was her master?

Apparently, that was exactly what Xiao Bai had just blatantly told the director.

"The thing is, I found her in the field. She might be an experimental subject of the Dark Coalition. See!" Qin Feng removed Xiao Bai's hat and revealed her silver eyebrows and hair.

"In short, she knows nothing about human society and greatly depends on me now. I have decided to shelter her and give her an identity. I hope you can help me out."

Qin Feng had made up the lies on his way here. This helped explain her unnatural hair color and why she was unfamiliar with human beings.

Xiao Bai acted innocently and looked at the old man. She had already met Lin Derong before without him knowing. She was peeking from inside the bag back then.

Chapter 67: Bai Li the White Fox

"Those scums from the Coalition. Pfft!" Lin Derong took a good look at Xiao Bai and figured that she was too unique to be considered a normal human being. He could not hold back his anger recalling the rumor that the Dark Coalition was experimenting on human-beast hybrids.

"Worry not. I will get you an identity."

Even if Qin Feng were not one of the orphans that had lived here before, Lin Derong would still happily lend him a hand.

After all, he was the generous philanthropist that had donated the beast general's meat to the orphanage.

Thus, Lin Derong had no reason to reject when Qin Feng came to ask for his aid.

"So, what's your name? Do you have one?" Lin Derong asked.

Xiao Bai blurted naturally, "I'm Xiao Bai!"

Lin Derong was irritated. Was that not more like a dog's name?

Despite that, he forced a smile and said gently, "Let's use a more elegant name, shall we?"

Xiao Bai turned to Qin Feng, who was equally embarrassed. The name "Xiao Bai" was made up by him. At first, Xiao Bai did look like a Hiromi dog and she is theoretically still a canine after she transformed into a fox. But this name was indeed inappropriate for the pleasant young lady she appeared to be now.

Looking into the glossy pair of eyes on Xiao Bai's face, an idea popped up in Qin Feng's mind.

"Let's call you Bai Li*."

"Bai Li?" Lin Derong gave it a thought and nodded. "This will do. Let me key this in."

While Lin Derong was busy editing the info, Qin Feng stroked Xiao Bai's long hair. Though it was not as fluffy as her fur, it was still silky smooth.

"From now onward, you should introduce yourself as Bai Li, Qin Feng's girlfriend. Just tell them I am your boyfriend if someone asks about me, okay?"

"Yes, master." Xiao Bai, also known as Bai Li now, nodded obediently. She comprehended that Qin Feng did not want her to address him as master anymore.

'Is it a taboo in the human world? No wonder the two-legged female creature was overreacting just now.'

In her mind, Bai Li had automatically registered "boyfriend" into the same category as "master".

Shortly afterward, Lin Derong had completed the registration and uploaded the data into the new communicator bought by Qin Feng. He then passed it over to Bai Li.

Beep beep beep!

The communicator that belonged to Qin Feng rang abruptly.

"Qin Feng, why are you not in school today? Skipping class on your very first day?" Zhou Hao asked in a concerned manner. He wondered what had happened to stall his best buddy from coming to school.

He went to the university by himself today. Though Qin Feng owned a hover car, Zhou Hao knew just how bad the traffic could get inside the colony in the mornings. It would be very troublesome for Qin Feng to pick him up so he politely refused his kind offer to fetch him when they parted the day before.

After all, he was just a buddy and not his girlfriend.

To his surprise, Qin Feng was nowhere to be seen when he went to look for him after class. He asked around and found out that he was absent today. That was when he decided to contact Qin Feng.

"I have some urgent errands to run," Qin Feng answered ambiguously and did not provide the details.

"I see. Please do remember to come in the afternoon. I heard that there will be an important assembly." Zhou Hao reminded him.

"Okay. I will be there."

He hung up and then took his leave from Lin Derong's office. However, before he stepped out of the room, he could not help but turn back. "Old man, I took part in the illegal arena to strengthen myself not long ago. Those men there tried to blackmail me with this orphanage. I might have accidentally caused you unwanted trouble. But be rest assured, I will sort it out quickly."

After he had witnessed Lin Derong's influence before, Qin Feng no longer saw the dean as a helpless old man. The dean had his connections and considerable authority around here so he thought that it was best to be honest with him.

"The illegal arena, eh?" Lin Derong tensed up but did not rebuke Qin Feng for his actions.

After the previous battle, Qin Feng was not the only one who had changed his perception of Lin Derong. Lin Derong was equally impressed by Qin Feng's capabilities.

"Qin Feng, if you have the confidence, then just go ahead and do whatever you deem necessary. As for the potential trouble, leave it to me. Those gangsters' threats are nothing but trash talk. Even with that fella Jiang Shaoyang backing them, they still would not be able to touch me," Lin Derong said.

"Jiang Shaoyang?" The name did not ring a bell. However, since it was coming from Lin Derong, Qin Feng believed that he must not be a small character.

"Yes. He is an F7-tier Ancient Warrior in charge of the Eagle Clubhouse though his power is slightly weaker than those in the same rank. He is a narrow-minded man and behaves unpredictably. Please be careful if you ever come across him." Lin Derong warned.

"I will take note. Thanks, old man."

Qin Feng and Bai Li headed to the university after they left the orphanage.

"Xiao Bai, can you turn back into the fox form?" Qin Feng asked. Xiao Bai had been exposed once inside the university. Besides, he could not smuggle her into the university in broad daylight.

Bai Li rolled her eyes. "The humankind sure is problematic."

Xiao Bai instantly shrank and returned into the fox form that was only as large as the size of two palms.

Nonetheless, this was actually Xiao Bai's most frightening battle form.

Xiao Bai crawled out of her clothes. The bra was still clinging on her head.

Qin Feng smiled and picked up Xiao Bai, and he placed her on his shoulder. Only then, he came down from the car and walked toward the university.

He bumped into Cheng Chao, the lecturer who tested him during the entrance exam halfway to the university block.

"Qin Feng, why didn't you attend class this morning?" Cheng Chao asked without hesitation.

Qin Feng was surprised that the teacher was aware of his absence. He had long graduated in his past life. The adult mind in him was still not used to being supervised and lectured by an educator in this way.

Qin Feng answered awkwardly, "I had something to attend to. How did you know?"

Cheng Chao laughed. "I thought that you were not going to show up. I am your class teacher, that's why I was told about your absence. Let's go. We still have a lecture about elements followed by the grand assembly later on. Please don't run away from school again. Though the syllabus in this university is considered easy, it's still pretty hard for you to graduate if you keep skipping the important classes."

Cheng Chao's expertise was none other than the introduction on abilities. Thus, it was not surprising that he had been assigned as their headteacher.

When they reached the lecture room, the sixteen-year-old teenagers who had just graduated from middle school were sitting quietly on their seats waiting for Cheng Chao.

Cheng Chao grinned when he saw all the young blood in his classroom.

'Teenagers are indeed the most adorable ones!'

"Qin Feng, please introduce yourself. The others have already done that this morning so you would have to get to know them on your own."

Qin Feng nodded and scanned his classmates. The number of students in this batch was even fewer than that of the previous years. There were only twenty one of them. Qin Feng memorized all their faces with only a single glance despite not knowing their names. He knew that these people would be the best combatants in Chengbei Colony one day in the future.

"My name is Qin Feng. I graduated from Tenth Middle School. There's nothing special about me except for my pet." Qin Feng tapped the fox that had recoiled into a ball of fur on his shoulder.

"This is my contractual beast. She is extremely powerful. I hope that none of you will touch or approach her out of curiosity in the future. I will not be held responsible if something terribly unfortunate were to happen to you."

Translator note: 璃 (Li) stands for 琉璃 (glaze, glossy) in this context. In addition to that, the second chinese word of fox (狐狸) also has the same pronunciation as Li, thus the association in naming of Xiao Bai as Bai (白, white) Li (璃, also a wordplay for fox, 狸).

Chapter 68: Light Ability User, Deng Nian

Qin Feng's self-introduction sounded more like a warning.

Xiao Bai disliked human contact when she was still a fox. Now that she had transfigured into the human form, Qin Feng had also become more possessive. He did not wish to see his Xiao Bai being touched and teased by others like a random domestic pet.

To the others, Qin Feng was simply being arrogant.

His classmates began to chastise him.

"Who's this guy? How dare he act all high and mighty with such a shitty talent?"

"So what if he has a pet?"

"The Tenth Middle School? Isn't that the school near the slums? I heard that students there are either orphans or beggars."

All of a sudden, the students in the class began to look at Qin Feng with contempt and scorn.

That was exactly the outcome Qin Feng wanted. Otherwise, he would not have revealed his middle school name. Actually, there was no distinct segregation between the ten middle schools inside Chengbei Colony. However, since these schools were located in different parts of the colony, the students in each school naturally originated from distinct social classes. The Tenth School was situated near the peripheral right on the border between the city and the slums, where Qin Feng's orphanage was located. As such, it was normal for the school to bear a negative reputation.

Qin Feng, who was a little out of tune with the surroundings, was instantly alienated by his peers.

Cheng Chao was annoyed. He could see that Qin Feng was going to be a thorny presence in the classroom.

"That's enough. Qin Feng, find yourself a seat. We are starting the class now."

The seating arrangement was such that everyone had their own individual seats. There were several empty seats left at the back so Qin Feng picked one near the window.

Cheng Chao switched on the projector and began the class.

"The very reason you are all here is that you are the only students that have awakened your core energy. What we are going to learn in this class include the basics, and structure of ability, followed by rune rearrangement, etc."

"After Doomsday, ability users began to sprout amongst the humankind. The abilities could be generally categorized into ten factions, which are metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, and dark. Each of these factions represent a unique force…"

"Ability is structured by runes and the runes for each faction occupy the very atmosphere we are living in right now…"

"To master the ability, one would need to absorb runes for his or her own use. There are two ways to accomplish this. First, you can absorb the rune present in the environment. The level of difficulty varies according to different environments. For instance, …"

"Second, you can do it through hunting down monsters or beasts born naturally with ability. The nature of their runes could be extracted mechanically from the ability core found in their brains."

"The rune structure and arrangement of each faction or element are dissimilar from one another. In the university library, there are a lot of records detailing the types of runes and their corresponding effects. You may read up about it if you are interested in any particular faction. Since the ability of each student in this class is unique, you may consult me individually after this. Next, I am going to show you some simple methods to train and manipulate runes, as well as how to enhance your consciousness…"

Qin Feng paid great attention to the lecture. He had learned most of the knowledge in his past life but it was not as comprehensive. He understood the nature of ability better now after listening to Cheng Chao's teachings.

'There are guidebooks in the library? I wonder whether any of them are focused on the dark faction.'

Cheng Chao then switched the topic into consciousness, something Qin Feng did not have the chance to venture into in his past life. For the entire period, Qin Feng's concentration did not wane from the man in front of the classroom. He was deeply astonished by the new knowledge Cheng Chao was delivering to them.

Standing in front of the class, Cheng Chao was mindful of the students' focus level.

'That's S-grade consciousness for you. His concentration did not slacken even once when he has set his mind on it.'

The lecture lasted for an hour. The other students lost interest halfway since they knew that most of the knowledge was available on the internet. They were not as focused as Qin Feng toward the end of the class.

"Okay, we will end here today. Now, let's move to the grand hall. The grand assembly is beginning soon." Cheng Chao instructed his students.

The grand assembly was unlike the normal assembly being held weekly. This only happened once per year and it was the only time the students were allowed to meet the strongest fighter of Chengbei Colony, E-tier ability user Deng Nian, in person.

This was the old guy Wang Chen had mentioned when he invited Qin Feng to join the Tiger Flame troop. This would be the first time Qin Feng met Deng Nian after he was reborn. He did not cross paths with the old man in his previous life. Years later, Qin Feng became an A-tier Ancient Warrior—an existence that even Deng Nian looked up to.

For others, they were eager to see Deng Nian up close. Unlike Qin Feng who had experienced far greater force, to them, Deng Nian was no different from a savior in Chengbei.

Qin Feng frowned as he suddenly felt a great sense of irk.

'I almost forgot Deng Nian is a light ability user.'

The light and dark were two opposing factions that unsettled one another. Currently, Deng Nian was addressing the assembly while releasing bands of unique rays around him that took the shape of the sun. It swirled quietly and advertently drew the attention of the crowd toward it.

"The one on the stage is our powerful headmaster. See it for yourself, all the rays are concentrating on him."

"Mr. Deng is truly a formidable ability user!"

"What an amazing power. I heard that he can save anyone from the brink of death as long as the person is still breathing! That's as close as resurrecting the dead!"

Most of the students gazed at the headmaster with great admiration. The assembly began as Deng Nian's voice was being amplified and reached the crowd below him.

The students from the earlier batch did not need to be present and joined the assembly through broadcasted feed. Even so, they were equally excited to hear the headmaster's speech.

Deng Nian was the embodiment of the Chengbei spirit and its people's faith.

"Welcome aboard, new recruits." He spoke in a respectable and gripping tone. Qin Feng was perhaps the only one unfazed by the headmaster's firm voice.

Luckily, Deng Nian did not waste much time on useless babble and Qin Feng was able to get the content he was here for.

"You all have just joined the university but this is not a playground! I want you to fully utilize the coming month to better your skills. One month from now, we are going to hold a comprehensive evaluation of the students. Those qualified will be dispatched to the stable spatial rift, Spring Hunting Ground. This is a joint-operation that spans across the five main universities in this colony. The top ten students will be awarded a G-tier insignia, while the top hundred will receive fabulous rewards. Therefore, please give it your best!"

The news stirred an uproar among the crowd.

A lot of students had actually chosen to enroll in the university because they were unprepared to face real danger in the outside world just yet. Unexpected to many, they were going to be thrown right in the face of danger so soon.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, was enthused to hear the announcement.

'Spring Hunting Ground!'

This stable spatial rift was under the direct governance of the five main universities in Chengbei. It was the perfect training ground for students to enhance their power thanks to its rich resources and subpar beasts.

However, Qin Feng was aware that in the middle of the hunting ground stood an immensely valuable fruit tree. It was called the Consciousness Tree.

Qin Feng's main objective for coming to this university was none other than the fruit on this tree. As its name implied, it was a useful ingredient for improving one's consciousness.

Deng Nian spoke again as if he was answering the panicky crowd, "The colony needs heroes, my young apprentices. I suggest that each and every one of you start to think and behave like one. There are still a lot of unknown dangers lurking outside the barrier waiting to be resolved by people like us. We need reinforcement now more than ever, especially when our colony is facing a threat of an unprecedented scale."

A video promptly appeared on the giant screen.

Report chapter

Chapter 69: The Corpse Corps

The footage was clearly captured using a drone. It was taken from the top of a mountain range at a time near the end of summer, right before spring began. The plants at the perimeter were still growing vibrantly without any signs of wilting. Yet, huge dark spots were seen spreading out from the center of the mountains. The affected land was stained with a dark brown color, indicating its infertility. Plants there appeared black as if they had been scorched.

That was not the end of it. The movements spotted on the mountain top were far more unsettling.

It was swarm after swarm of zombies.

The drone flew in deeper. Right at the center of the mountain peak, a dark knight riding a skeleton horse stood out from the legion around it. The flaming soul burning within its skeleton rose and stared directly into the camera.

In the next moment, the javelin in its hand was tossed into the air. Inch by inch, the crowd could see the spearhead closing in on the screen until finally, the video blacked out and there was dead silence.

"Gasp!" Those with a weak mind were unable to refrain from crying out in horror. They felt like the javelin was going to break through the screen and reach them.

Though it was just footage, many students were actually relieved that they were still alive.

'What is that surreal creature? How can it be so powerful?'

Qin Feng was equally restless. He realized that the location of the video was exactly where the Hell Stone had crashed.

No wonder the kids from the orphanage were infected by the dark rune again.

Though he had gotten rid of the dark stone, the colony was still in great peril just like in his past life. Only this time, the menace was not from the corrupted beasts but a legion of well-organized zombies!

'The skeleton knight must be at least an F-tier beast king.' Qin Feng thought to himself.

Deng Nian's voice rose again. "Currently, we need to unite all available forces inside Chengbei to defend against the powerful beast. All G-tier aptitude users in the second and third years, as well as the supporting aptitude users, will be deployed to the field."

"This marks the end of the 69th grand assembly of the university. Dismiss!"

The initial joy in the jubilant students at the beginning of the assembly had now been replaced by deep thought and fear.

Cheng Chao shook his head and murmured, "Looks like the freshmen are truly frightened. As far as I can remember, they would usually show milder content like a documentary in the past years."

Those documentaries were equally daunting but it was less traumatizing than this one.

The university was not going to cut the students any slack. It was not like they were able to stay protected inside the colony after they had entered the school. They would not be able to step out of their comfort zone this way.

On the contrary, the principle of the university was to let the students battle as much and as early as possible. The teachers would encourage the students to explore the wild, either through direct influence or indirect persuasion.

Otherwise, things like Li Yaoyao forming an expedition team would never have happened.

While Cheng Chao was in his own train of thought, Qin Feng approached him quietly.

"Sir, I wish to join this operation." Qin Feng volunteered himself.

Cheng Chao thought that he had heard him wrongly. "Qin Feng, you should not act out of impulse. Focus on your studies and training first. You can join when you are truly ready. Besides, you won't be allowed to join since you are not a support member."

Qin Feng thought about it and asked, "What if I have earned the G-tier aptitude user badge? Will I be qualified then?"

Cheng Chao was unable to rebut. "Theoretically, yes. But practically, it would be impossible with your current skill set."

Qin Feng did not insist and took his leave. His classmates looked at him like he was a madman.

'You want to join the operation fighting those scary zombies? Dream on with that useless talent of yours!'

Qin Feng operated his communicator and called Zhou Hao. "Do you want to join the zombie-cleansing operation?"

"Sh*t! As much as you do!" Zhou Hao answered without any hesitation. He had trained painstakingly for this day. He wished to fight!

He hardly saw Qin Feng recently. Luckily this best buddy of his had not forgotten him.

"You got an idea?" Zhou Hao asked curiously.

"Yes. Meet me in the evening on the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Hao was very excited.

The day ended after the grand assembly was over. He grabbed a quick dinner at home and went straight to bed after that. He needed the rest badly after the busy week. More importantly, he still had a difficult fight waiting for him at night.

At 10pm, Qin Feng once again appeared at the Eagle Clubhouse. Not only that, he was accompanied by Bai Li in the human form this time.

The place went pin-drop silence wherever Bai Li appeared. The people around the clubhouse were stunned by her beauty and were lost for words.

Qin Feng had no choice but to order Bai Li to put on a pair of sunglasses.

"Why should I wear sunglasses when it's dark?" Bai Li asked.

Qin Feng did not know how to answer. He was not going to tell her that he disliked other people looking into her beautiful eyes.

"Just do as I say." Qin Feng patted her head. Bai Li pouted her lips but still did as her master said.

They did not know that their every action was currently being watched. The stalker was Jiang Shaoyang who was sitting comfortably inside the manager's office.

Someone had informed Jiang Shaoyang the moment Qin Feng set foot into the clubhouse. The clubhouse had surveillance cameras in every corner. He pressed a few buttons to bring up the right angle and was equally astonished by Bai Li's elegance.

That astonishment was immediately replaced by rage and jealousy. He felt violated when Qin Feng touched Bai Li's hair. In his twisted mind, Jiang Shaoyang perceived that only he and not the lowly Qin Feng deserved someone as beautiful as Bai Li. He vowed to take the girl away from Qin Feng who was going to die inside the arena tonight.

"Has all the arrangements been made?" Jiang Shaoyang uttered rather wickedly.

"Yes. Don't worry, Sir. He wouldn't make it out alive tonight once he steps into the arena." The guy from the other end spoke confidently.

Qin Feng entered the ring around 11 pm.

The Eagle Clubhouse held multiple fights in one night so Qin Feng had to wait for several rounds before his turn.

A lot of attendees today were audience members from the day before. They did not want to miss out on Qin Feng's match so they came again since he had promised to turn up today.

Five straight wins were no easy feat. Many would have backed away from the sixth match.

However, Qin Feng had defeated Arm Breaker, who had a seven-streak-win, in his last match. The audience was expecting to see more of Qin Feng.

The emcee's voice soon resonated inside the arena.

[The next person is a newbie in this ring. Yet, I believe most of our audience already know him from yesterday. He is our five-straight-wins contestant, Mad Fox! He is entering his sixth game now, can he keep his hot streak going? Let the match begin!]

Qin Feng's opponent this time was a G7-tier ancient warrior.

The odds of the two fighters were almost on par. Nevertheless, many placed their bets on the challenger after being incited by the emcee. The Eagle Clubhouse would still be the biggest winner regardless of the match outcome.

Qin Feng defeated his first opponent of the night with ease. He then consecutively put down a G8 and two G9 challengers.

Qin Feng did not get carried away and could almost smell the foul plot.

'This is too easy. Something is not right.'

Chapter 70: Martial Arts vs Abilities

At this time, Qin Feng already had nine straight wins. And with the appearance of the next contestant, the bet results were also announced.

The ratio had actually reached 7:8!

In spite of this, some people who had been stunned by his victory had fiercely pounded in their cash. The funds in the gambling pool might have exceeded 800 million!

If Qin Feng were to win, the casino would naturally lose a hefty sum.

However, if Qin Feng were to be defeated, the casino would be able to make a fortune!

Qin Feng looked at the opponent in front of him and finally understood why the casino did this.

The opponent was actually an F2-tier Ancient Warrior!

If Qin Feng were just an ordinary Ancient Warrior, even if he defeated those of the G2-tier, he would not be able to beat an F2-tier Ancient Warrior. This Ancient Warrior, in particular, had a stable and concise aura, he was obviously a pro.

"Your winning streak is over, boy!" The Ancient Warrior's finger swiped across his neck, which was obviously the sign of decapitation.

What he meant was self-evident.

Those Ancient Warriors before were just goofing around and there to build the desired momentum; the real killer was at the end!

[It seems that Barbarian is full of hostility toward Mad Fox, and he wants to behead him! Barbarian is a decent fighter, with ancient martial arts parallel training being his greatest strength. With a body as strong as iron, and strength that is extremely powerful, will he be able to overturn Mad Fox's status?]

The host gave a brief introduction but many people did not care.

He only had a strong body, and not many people would focus on honing this kind of skill to the highest level. There was no way he would be able to rival Mad Fox.

Mad Fox was fast and strong, he was probably no weaker than Barbarian!

Probably because Barbarian focused on training his physical strength, the aura he exuded was not particularly potent, so he did make people feel like he was one fierce towering giant.

Very few people could see that his strength was that of an F2-tier.

He did not make much of an appearance in the past, after all, he was a hidden trump card. He had only won three rounds, but each of his opponents died very miserably.

However, in the ring, people who had died tragically were nothing new. The prestige of Barbarian might not be as high as the previous Arm Breaker.

Ding ding ding!

The bell sounded, and the match officially started.

"Come on, Mad Fox!"

Barbarian blatantly taunted Qin Feng with a hook of his finger.

He was actually very smart. Speed was not his forte so he wanted Qin Feng to attack first, and then counterattack when he was in close range.

"As you wish!"

Qin Feng did not attempt to dodge; he also wanted to know how strong his own body was now!

Qin Feng's Absorption skill was much more powerful than it was before his rebirth. Qin Feng's physical strength did not require much cultivation, and was comparable to those Ancient Warriors who had practiced parallel training!

The timing was right for him to have a proper comparison.

Qin Feng stepped forward and swung his fist.

Barbarian did not dodge his attack. He also swung his fist and punched Qin Feng's body. As for Qin Feng's oncoming fist, he did not even care.

It was merely a wound for a wound. Barbarian did not believe that Qin Feng could cause any harm to him. However, if Qin Feng did not avoid Barbarian's fist, then he would receive a penetrating strike on the heart.

Qin Feng striked first so his fist was the one that landed first on Barbarian's chest.

At that moment, all Barbarian felt was a huge incoming force, so much so that he could not even contend in order to overturn him. His body was pushed back and he was forced to step backward, the fist he launched did not even have the chance to touch Qin Feng.

Barbarian stepped three steps backward before stabilizing his figure.

"Ahh! Mad Fox, go on, kill him!"

"Get rid of him, beat him to death!"

"Good one!"

With the audience cheering excitedly, Barbarian felt a surge of rage rushing to his head.

He had been careless, and he did not expect to be knocked back by Qin Feng.

"Roar!"

Barbarian suddenly roared out loud, and a yellow light shrouded his palm.

"Barbaric Fist!"

Qin Feng's eyebrows twitched visibly.

"It's martial arts!"

After all, Ancient Warriors not only knew how to use their neigong, their martial arts skills were sometimes as powerful as abilities.

Qin Feng had also mastered a lot of martial arts skills in his previous life. However, with his current reflexes and experience, he could respond to any threat without having to waste this internal strength.

However, he would have some losses!

Qin Feng did not intend to forcefully resist, as he dodged extremely fast.

With a strike from Barbarian, there seemed to be a translucent fist shadow bursting out. The shadow lengthened with a gust of wind, and reached a meter high in the blink of an eye. Even the surrounding area was swirled up in the gust of wind as a chaotic energy burst out.

The punch ended up smashing nothing!

"Boom!"

Barbarian's fist directly hit the ground, smashing the sturdy ring ground into a wrecked state. The force was so great that the energy force field was not spared, causing the translucent force field to fluctuate and ripple.

The audience shouted suddenly, and all of them stood up from their seats.

At that moment, it did not matter whether they were betting on Qin Feng's victory or not, they were still very excited!

'Martial arts! This is martial arts!'

They came here to watch the match and were actually able to see a fight that involved martial arts, as such it was certainly well worth its value!

Barbarian missed his strike but he was not perturbed as he approached Qin Feng again.

The two clashed head-on once more, but this time they were evenly matched. Qin Feng was guarding against Barbarian.

Soon, Barbarian's Barbaric Fist erupted again, and Qin Feng could only passively avoid it.

On the ring, it seemed that the battle outcome was rather apparent!

At the backstage, Jiang Shaoyang was rather pleased as he watched the fight unfold, taking a sip of wine and then switching to another camera's feed.

The camera was facing Bai Li who was standing in a corner.

Despite wearing sunglasses, her perfect posture still attracted the attention of many people. There was a group of people around her, preventing other people from getting close to her, they were naturally sent by Jiang Shaoyang.

He already regarded Bai Li as his own property.

The moment Mad Fox dies, he would go and personally greet this beauty!

On the ring, Barbarian was panting heavily.

No one knew how much energy he had consumed.

Barbarian had been practicing his parallel-training skills. Although the Barbaric Fist was said to be driven by one's internal strength, its energy outburst was ten times more than one's physical strength.

If one were to get hit by the Barbaric Fist, even a leapfrog aptitude user would be shattered by him.

However, Qin Feng was as slippery as a fish, swiftly avoiding the oncoming attacks whenever possible. If Barbarian did not use his Barbaric Fist, Qin Feng would take the chance to attack again.

On the ring, it seemed as if Barbarian was forcing Qin Feng to retreat and defend. It was more accurate to say that Barbarian had no other choice, otherwise he would get attacked by Qin Feng!

"What's the matter? Out of energy? So that means that it's my turn now, eh?" Qin Feng said coldly.

Barbarian's heart felt a sudden jolt as he felt that something bad was about to happen.

And at this time, a great absorption force burst forth from Qin Feng's body.

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

Barbarian practically staggered two steps forward. Like a puppet drawn by its master, he moved toward Qin Feng who placed his palm on his dantian.

In the next moment, Barbarian's internal strength was like flowing water, rushing out and being absorbed by Qin Feng in the blink of an eye.

"You!!!"

Barbarian did not even have time to react in anger as Qin Feng's other hand was raised, everyone could see that Qin Feng's fist had become black in an instant, and there were even flames surrounding it.

Barbarian's physical strength was indeed strong. Qin Feng's fist alone was naturally unable to perform a critical strike, but what about his abilities?

Hellfire wrapped around Qin Feng's fist, and in the next moment, it was blasted through Barbarian's heart.

Chapter 71: Xiao Bai Attacks

Puff!

The sound emitted was no longer the previous thumping sound of a fist hitting a body. Instead, it sounded like a smoldering sound caused by flames burning a cloth.

Hellfire broke through the barrier of flesh and blood in just an instant. As Qin Feng thrusted his fist inward he incinerated everything around it!

"Uh… Gurgle…" Barbarian unwittingly made a sound before his eyes lost their glow.

Qin Feng withdrew his hand. Without his support, Barbarian fell backward instantly.

Bang!

Barbarian's huge figure fell onto the ground, and it seemed to stir up a gust of wind and swirl up the surrounding dust.

After he had completely fallen onto the ground, everyone could see a huge hole that had appeared in Barbarian's chest, with the insides burned charcoal black, and his heart burned to ashes!

Barbarian was dead!

For a brief moment, a deafening silence enveloped the arena!

In the next moment, a state of frenzy and chaos broke out!

Mad Fox won.

Barbarian, who seemed to be extremely powerful in the eyes of everyone, was finally defeated.

For a while, everyone cheered in unison.

"Ten straight wins, ten straight wins!"

"How satisfying!"

"The Defying Mad Fox!"

Everyone cheered, while both the referee and the emcee once again fell into a stiff and stricken state.

This one scene, which had a striking similarity to the night before, had just happened once more.

The referee had not announced the victor yet, and the force field was not deactivated, but Qin Feng had disappeared in a flash.

Dark Shadow!

Qin Feng took it upon himself to leave the arena first, disregarding the referee's judgment and the reward that came with.

After all, his objective had been achieved.

A tremendous internal strength was entrenched within Qin Feng's body, nearly causing his dantian to burst. He had to either advance to the next tier or swallow the internal force immediately!

The moment Qin Feng appeared again, he had already reached Bai Li's side.

Jiang Shaoyang's people standing guard around her had no clue how Qin Feng had appeared, all they saw was Qin Feng trying to take Bai Li away!

"Kill him!"

Through the earpieces came Jiang Shaoyang's roar.

The situation that was both originally on the cusp of victory and an assured win was once again crumbled by Qin Feng. Being provoked by Qin Feng once again, Jian Shaoyang was unimaginably infuriated.

And this time, he had no plans to toy with Qin Feng anymore; he wanted to kill Qin Feng with his very own hands!

The thugs of the Eagle Clubhouse stepped forward to stop Qin Feng.

As for killing Qin Feng, they naturally knew that it was impossible. After all, the other party was the one who killed Barbarian and had emerged unscathed.

They were no match for him!

"Out of my way!"

Qin Feng's internal strength was at the brink of an outburst, and it was way more vigorous than usual. Whenever he attacked, he would use Asteroid Assimilation, sending these Ancient Warriors, who were only G8 or G9 tier, flying in the air!

Boom!

Qin Feng was like a ticking bomb; wherever he went, explosions would ensue.

He took Bai Li and quickly stepped up the safety ladder.

After several steps, Qin Feng had reached the first floor and was dashing out.

A group of people were in hot pursuit.

With the appearance of the group of malicious people, the slums were thrown into a chaotic mode, everything was turned upside down.

Qin Feng slipped into a dark alley. Wanting to get out of the sight of these people, he wanted Bai Li to cast her spatial teleportation and escape the siege of these people.

In the next moment, a person in front was blocking the road.

This human figure was ghostly, and his aura was also incredibly powerful without any attempt to cover up his powers.

F7-tier Ancient Warrior.

This was practically a target that Qin Feng had no way to challenge.

"Die!" Jiang Shaoyang roared, and a shadow burst out from the sword in his hand.

The sword's shadow enveloped Qin Feng, seemingly wanting to tear him into pieces.

This was actually a powerful type of martial arts!

Qin Feng had a great sense that his life was in mortal danger!

"Xiao Bai!"

Qin Feng shouted unwittingly, wanting Bai Li to activate her spatial teleportation to flee from danger, and Qin Feng could then take the opportunity to kill the other party.

In the next moment, Bai Li's entire body suddenly flashed in silver.

Bai Li's dress swayed, and her long hair danced along with the wind. It was unclear from where the moonlight shone through as the alley was lit seemingly out of nothingness, surrounding Bai Li's figure.

In the next moment, four silver light rays emerged!

How familiar this light was; this was definitely the Space Rune.

"Space Blade!" Bai Li tenderly shouted, pointing at Jiang Shaoyang. "Go!"

The light flashed and disappeared, and Qin Feng's pupil shrank suddenly.

When the silver light reappeared it was by Jiang Shaoyang's side.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

Jiang Shaoyang's body shook violently a few times!

The sword's shadow disappeared in mid-air. Not only that, Jiang Shaoyang could not maintain his balance and instantly fell to the ground.

All his limbs were cut off; the wounds were very neat and clean-cut, as he was practically cut into a human stick.

Qin Feng could not help but feel stunned!

"Master, quickly absorb his internal strength!" Bai Li urged.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and finally came to his senses.

He had truly underestimated Bai Li!

After all, the current Bai Li was but an F-tier beast king!

Dealing with an ordinary F-tier Ancient Warrior who rarely fought in the wild was a piece of cake.

And at this time, Jiang Shaoyang fell to the ground, still alive. He tried to lift his neck and look at Bai Li.

A great sense of incredulousness flooded his eyes.

"You! Who the hell are you?"

Jiang Shaoyang had never seen such a horrifying move. Even though he wanted to evade just now, he did not manage to dodge, it was as if the attacks had erupted directly from within him.

Moreover, he also heard the words that Bai Li spat out!

'Space Blade! Is this a Space Rune? Which means that this woman is actually a powerful spatial ability user?'

This was not even a part of the ten major departments, only some powerful ultra beasts could possess this ability.

"You don't need to know who she is!"

Qin Feng said coldly, and he could obviously see Jiang Shaoyang's greedy eyes when he was looking at Bai Li just now.

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

He pressed Jiang Shaoyang's abdomen with one hand, and a force of absorption burst forth, swallowing all of the internal strength in Jiang Shaoyang's body.

Jiang Shaoyang wanted to resist, but he had no way to do so. His limbs were gone and there was too much bleeding. Even if Qin Feng did not attack, there was no way he would have survived.

Now, even if he wanted to use the communicator to call for help, it was already impossible!

After absorbing Jiang Shaoyang's internal strength, Qin Feng's dantian was thrown into a violently turbulent state.

"Hellfire!"

Qin Feng suppressed the violent internal strength. With a burst of his ability, traces of Jiang Shaoyang's body were obliterated.

Jiang Shaoyang was thoroughly reduced to ashes in a blaze of fire!

The owner of the Eagle Clubhouse for this generation, and the dark influential overlord behind the slums, was dead.

Snap!

Crackling sounds came from the string of Buddha beads on Jiang Shaoyang's hand, which was quickly burned to crisp. However, a grey bead rolled out, with a special pale silver glow appearing on it.

This was actually a Space Rune equipment.

If Qin Feng did not burn the other party's body, he would have thought that it was only a silver accessory among the beads!

"Let's go!"

Qin Feng picked up the bead and said to Xiao Bai, and the two disappeared from where they stood.

Until the thugs of the Eagle Clubhouse came over to investigate, no one noticed the insignificant ashes in the dark alley. And little did they know that this was the place where their boss was annihilated!

Chapter 72: Dispatched to the Wild

With Bai Li's teleportation, in less than one minute, Qin Feng had returned to his house in Qinghu Garden.

Qin Feng immediately sat cross-legged, viewing inside his own dantian.

The situation today was better than yesterday's. The internal forces might be a pile of mess, but Qin Feng had exactly 62 threads of internal force which were strong and powerful, and occupying the lead role. The other messy internal forces could not cause a ripple from within.

However, those were the internal forces that his dantian could accommodate. Now, there were too many of them, they made Qin Feng feel that his dantian was about to burst at the seams.

"Absorb!"

Qin Feng began to swallow today's harvest like a whale.

The five people on the ring had sufficiently given Qin Feng 51 threads of internal force which were now squeezed to the point where they were nearly deformed.

What was more terrifying was Jiang Shaoyang's internal force which had precisely 63 threads.

After a burst of his absorption skill, the threads of internal forces were swallowed whole, quickly strengthening his meridians.

Afterwards, the internal forces became pure again and returned to his dantian.

Qin Feng's existing 62 threads of internal force began to rise.

73… 86… 99…

The strong and powerful internal force threads were practically displaying a state of diffusion, occupying his entire dantian, and was unable to squeeze in even the tiniest thread.

Yet, the internal forces had not all been fully restored yet.

"Asteroid Assimilation!"

Qin Feng tried multitasking and mustered his Asteroid Assimilation.

Rumble!

There seemed to be an explosion within his dantian.

His dantian had expanded to its utmost limit, and it could now accommodate even more internal forces.

Whereas all the threads were completely shattered!

Then, the internal forces condensed into a cloud of mist!

Qin Feng closed his eyes, and a cloud of smoke was practically fuming from his forehead. The aura he was exuding was suddenly increased exponentially.

'G-tier Ancient Warrior, internal strength like silk!'

'F-tier Ancient Warrior, internal strength like mist!'

At that moment, Qin Feng was finally promoted from a G-tier to an F-tier Ancient Warrior!

"Phew!"

Qin Feng let out a long breath.

He opened his eyes, and his eyes were glowing.

At this moment, he could feel the extent of his own strength!

However, the feeling receded as quickly as it came. After all, before rebirth, Qin Feng was one who had reached A-tier.

Once he had calmed down a great deal, he then frowned.

If the fact that Qin Feng had killed the five Eagle Clubhouse guards yesterday was not able to cause an uproar, what he did today was assuredly going to turn the place upside down.

Once those people discover that Jiang Shaoyang had disappeared, they would surely be able to trace it back to Qin Feng. There might even be people who were already after him right now.

All of this was trouble for him!

Qin Feng thought about it, raised his hand and dialed a person's communicator.

Xue Xingfu was already in dreamland but he was still awakened by the sound of his communicator, especially by the tone that he had set himself.

He looked at the time and it was already 2 o'clock.

"Dear, who is it!"

"It's okay, just sleep!"

Xue Xingfu was slightly annoyed but he had to answer the phone, so he gently patted his wife who was by his side and walked out of the room.

"Bro, it's late. What's the matter?"

This was neither evening nor morning, and this kid, Qin Feng, really had too much energy!

"Yeah, I wanna tip you off!" Qin Feng said, "For you guys, it should be good news!"

Xue Xingfu became wide awake at his words. When he thought of Qin Feng murdering He Li previously, he had also said that he wanted to give Xue Xingfu some good news.

What he did not know was, who was the one with such bad luck this time around?

No matter who it was, Xue Xingfu was excited.

"Wait a moment, I'll go meet you right away! We'll discuss when we meet!"

Some things naturally could not be conveyed via the communicator. Xue Xingfu hung up his communicator, put on a piece of clothing at random and went to Qinghu Garden.

After half an hour, Xue Xingfu was sitting in Qin Feng's living room in a daze as he could not believe his ears!

"Say that again, who did you just say it was? Jiang Shaoyang? You killed Jiang Shaoyang?"

"Yep, of course they probably do not know that Jiang Shaoyang is dead, and there's no evidence to prove that I killed him. However, they may get to the bottom of this! Can you put them in a tight spot?"

Qin Feng lifted his cup and took a sip nonchalantly, as if what he had just said was nothing out of the norm.

Xue Xingfu saw that Qin Feng did not seem to be joking around. However, this time, he could not sit still.

"You said that you killed He Li, I believed you. But now you are saying that you killed Jiang Shaoyang, how the hell am I supposed to believe you? Jiang Shaoyang may be a scum, but he's also an F7-tier Ancient Warrior!"

Upon seeing that he was refusing to give up until all hope was gone, Qin Feng took out the silver bead at that exact moment.

"This is Jiang Shaoyang's Spatial Rune equipment. I didn't use anything inside, you can take it!"

Jiang Shaoyang's Spatial Rune equipment was actually smaller than He Li's, only one square meter wide. However, there were a lot of stuff in it.

Firearms, both blue and purple glow rune equipment, even a huge pile of drugs, and a nameless black card.

There were about 50 million yuan in the black card, and Qin Feng kept it with him. After all, Qin Feng was in the ring yesterday, and the Eagle Clubhouse did not pay him what he was owed.

As for the rest, Qin Feng had no interest in them. Jiang Shaoyang was not very good at fighting. Those rune equipment were all standard ones and not custom-made. Obviously, Jiang Shaoyang did not care much, and Qin Feng was also not willing to use something that other people had used before. As such, he would rather give it to Xue Xingfu.

Xue Xingfu looked at the Spatial Rune equipment. He had been battling against the deputy mayor's men for so many years, as such, he knew the deputy mayor's F-tier ability user underlings like the back of his hand.

Xue Xingfu shivered for a while, his blood was rushing to his brain, and his eyes were excited when he looked at Qin Feng.

"You, kid, did something huge!" Xue Xingfu started going into deep thoughts and paced back and forth, constantly thinking about the matter at hand. And soon, he came to realize one of its most crucial key points.

"As for Lin Zheng, you don't have to be afraid of him. Although he's the deputy mayor, he's not as powerful as Mayor Zheng. And he's now been dispatched to encircle and suppress the Corpse Corps!"

Qin Feng frowned. "He went to the wilderness?"

"Yep. I don't know whether you know this or not, but a large number of zombies has appeared outside Chengyang City. I'm afraid that their leader is probably an F-tier beast king. As such, the four zones and Chengyang City have all dispatched E-tier ability users!"

"I know!" Qin Feng nodded, he naturally knew that.

The existence of the beast king level, if it were a human of the same level, required tens of thousands of them to encircle and suppress it in order to win. Furthermore, there would be countless deaths and injuries.

As such, in order to win at minimum cost, humans would definitely dispatch the strong ones.

E-tier ability users battling against an F-tier beast king was a battle with an uncertain outcome.

That was also the reason why Bai Li had just killed Jiang Shaoyang so easily today.

However, if Lin Zheng had gone to the wilderness, and he also planned to go there afterward, it also meant that Qin Feng would have to face off against him sooner or later.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Feng was decidedly not bothered about it.

As long as these people were not sure that Qin Feng was the one who killed Jiang Shaoyang, Lin Zheng would have no reason to come for Qin Feng.

However, to Lin Zheng, an Ancient Warrior who had just awakened for a month was just like a baby who had just learned how to crawl.

When the time came, as long as Qin Feng did not specifically attract Lin Zheng's attention, Lin Zheng would not attack Qin Feng in the wild!

Chapter 73: The Most Powerful Dark Ability

"Remember, divert their attention away from me!" Qin Feng said.

Xue Xingfu smiled wryly, he really could not figure out what kind of devious plots this young one had in mind.

Generally speaking, if someone were to kill Jiang Shaoyang, that person would assuredly be a big troublemaker. That person would have to request for either Xue Xingfu's or Mayor Zhang's help and support in order to protect himself.

However, the way Qin Feng sounded was rather forceful, like he was giving an order.

It was as if it was something Xue Xingfu must do for Qin Feng.

However, when Xue Xingfu looked at the Spatial Rune equipment in his hand, he let out a sigh again.

If he were to give Qin Feng this window of opportunity, perhaps within two months' time, the item that would be handed to him would be Lin Zheng's Spatial Rune equipment!

"Relax. With the stuff inside, I can seal off the Eagle Clubhouse completely, or even replace it!"

Even after Doomsday, these things in Jiang Shaoyang's Spatial Rune equipment were enough to touch people's nerves, and the final result of the legal penalty here was death.

After all, all criminals were people with outstanding strength. Often, after breaking the law, as long as they were able to avoid being captured, they would be able to live freely. Otherwise, the bounty hunter network would not be that lively!

Qin Feng nodded too upon hearing Xue Xingfu's words, "Okay, this ought to do it. Oh yeah, it would be 50 million for your stuff. You can pay me a few days later!"

Xue Xingfu, who was talking domineeringly at first, suddenly felt weak upon hearing Qin Feng's words.

Qin Feng really knew how to get the value he wanted!

However, the news that Qin Feng had given him was also well worth the price, even far exceeding it.

Even Xue Xingfu did not dare bargain with Qin Feng.

"Okay okay okay, let me make the necessary arrangements. I'll prepare the money for you immediately!"

Xue Xingfu did not stay long. After all, the two had been talking for over an hour, and now it was already 3:30am. In just a while it would be dawn.

After Xue Xingfu left, Qin Feng also felt more relaxed.

After washing up a bit, Qin Feng stepped into his bedroom and suddenly stopped in his footsteps.

Even without light, Qin Feng, who had awakened the Dark Runes, was still able to see in the dark. On the huge bed, the dashingly beautiful girl who was lying on her side had entered slumberland, and there was a trace of suspicious water stains on the corner of her mouth!

Looking at her, she looked pure and lovely while charming at the same time.

Not only that, the other party had also put on the silk pajamas that Qin Feng bought for her during the day, without anything else beneath it.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and wanted to go to the guest room to sleep. In the future, he had to teach Xiao Bai that physical contact between men and women was forbidden!

With this thought, Qin Feng's feet seemed to be stuck on the ground.

"If I leave, that little forebear will definitely be unhappy. It's fine, she's just a little fox anyway!"

Comforting himself like this, Qin Feng was able to finally relax as he naturally lifted the blanket and laid down.

The little fox was sleeping semi-consciously. Feeling the familiar body temperature approaching, she hurriedly approached Qin Feng and licked his cheek at the same time before calmly resuming her sleep!

Qin Feng. "…"'Bloody hell!'

Qin Feng controlled his consciousness, transferring it from the little fox and placing into his ability core.

Now, he had advanced into an F-tier Ancient Warrior, but Qin Feng's ability user tier had not yet been promoted.

The biggest reason was that Qin Feng had not yet found a way to practice his consciousness!

Of course, the power of ability users was blessed, but it was also extremely difficult to promote. This was something that Qin Feng had already heard about before his rebirth. However, once an ability user was able to be promoted, the person would be an apocalyptic force, which was far beyond that of Ancient Warriors.

"Don't tell me I have to go and kill gunners?"

Although there were gunners all over the place, it was still not easy to kill them either even if he wanted to. The Underground Boxing Arena was a special case.

With such thoughts in mind, Qin Feng could only urge his consciousness to rotate the ability core step by step, and then begin looking for the runes that could arrange his abilities according to the lecture given by Cheng Chao.

After an early morning's torture, both Qin Feng and Bai Li, who had transformed into a little fox, stepped into the campus.

The morning course was still Theory of Runes, and there was a period of Analysis of Ultra Beasts course. The Gunslinging course was in the afternoon.

With the exception of the Runes course, the other courses were totally useless to Qin Feng.

After the Runes course, Qin Feng was about to get up and head to the library. However, he was stopped by a girl with a ponytail.

"Qin Feng, our ability user class has set up a communications contact group. Please leave your communicator details so it's convenient to contact you!"

"Yeah, sure!"

Qin Feng nodded and did not reject. He left his contact number and joined the ability class. The one who invited him to join was the monitor of the ability class, Zhao Yu!

Zhao Yu was a fire ability user who had achieved a B in both consciousness and elemental talents during the examinations. It would come as no surprise if she were to become the strongest one in class. After all, she had great talent.

Therefore, it was not surprising that she had been chosen as the class monitor.

Qin Feng skipped the Analysis of Ultra Beasts course and went to the library.

The library was very spacious, and there were not many books at all; most of them were pieces and pieces of chips.

"Dark Abilities!"

Qin Feng's eyes suddenly sparkled.

There really was information on Dark Abilities.

Qin Feng inserted the chip into his communicator, and its contents were surprisingly little.

Only when he was reading through the info, Qin Feng was able to understand why this was the case.

Chengbei University had existed for more than fifty years. During this period, only two dark ability users had appeared.

The strength of the first dark ability user was incredible. However, after graduation, he joined the Dark Coalition and became an extremely powerful convict at large. Not long after, he was killed.

This was probably something shameful for Chengbei University!

The second dark ability user appeared more than twenty years ago. After discovering that he was a dark ability user, he wanted to come to school to gain knowledge. He finally found that there were no such records in the school either. Feeling helpless, he still stayed for half a year and finally left behind all the information he had collected by himself.

[I hope that the future juniors who have awakened their dark abilities can leave their rune information here, Descendant of Fuze.]

[In theory, the basic abilities of the ten major departments are the same, and so is the appearance of the runes. However, both the colors and effects are different. Here is the simplest example…

[After many investigation attempts, I think that the dark abilities stated above really do exist but I didn't find the corresponding abilities of other departments…]

[The strongest one is the Finger of Death which was unleashed by a black-robed man in a rift in the west sixty seven years after Doomsday. With the finger pointing down, a black light flashed across the sky and killed an S-tier ability user, wiping him out. His body was obliterated with nothing left behind, and it scared off the three strongest S-tier elites on the spot…]

Upon looking at the news, Qin Feng could not calm himself down for quite some time.

"The Finger of Death!"

Such a terrifying ability. The Finger of Death could actually wipe out even S-tier ability users, how powerful was this ability?

He did not know whether the Finger of Death rune was among the more-than-one-billion rune archive he owned or not.

Chapter 74: The Imperious Gunslinging Teacher

Qin Feng ate a bit of dried meat stored in Xiao Bai's space at noon, then he continued searching for more information. This time, he was looking up for information on the runes of other departments.

Especially fire runes. After all, Qin Feng himself also possessed mutant fire runes.

When he was so wrapped up in his reading, his communicator vibrated.

Qin Feng looked at it, and it was actually Zhao Yu who had just added him.

"Monitor, what's wrong?" Qin Feng asked casually.

"Qin Feng, why did you skip class again? The Gunslinging course teacher is checking your attendance. You have already skipped class twice, and our teacher is upset. Are you still in school? Hurry up and come to class!" There was also a bit of fear in her voice.

Qin Feng was silent for a moment, and he seemed to have thought of the scene where the class monitor was being berated because of a student like him.

After all, the Gunslinging course teacher was a teacher who would vent his anger on everyone!

"Alright, I'm coming now!"

"Okay, okay. Come quickly, we're at the shooting range!"

"Okay!"

The shooting range of Chengbei University was built on the topmost level of the sports hall. It was called a range, when in actuality it was an indoor venue. After all, there were many places to gather.

The gymnasium also had eight floors. When Qin Feng arrived by taking the elevator, the course had already gone on for twenty minutes.

When Qin Feng walked in, all the students looked at Qin Feng, and the teacher naturally looked over.

"Which class is this student from? What brings you here? Are you taking this class?"

The Gunslinging teacher said sarcastically.

Zhao Yu was not only afraid that Qin Feng would be ousted, but she was also afraid of their teacher losing his temper. She quickly said, "Teacher Yang, this is a student from our abilities class. He is here to attend your class!"

"What happened to the abilities class?"

Mr. Yang suddenly raised his voice, to the extent where it was almost deafening.

"Don't think that you're awesome just because you have awakened your abilities. When your strength is low, what can your abilities do? Can you light a cigarette? Can you sip a drink? Can you plant wheat and tighten a screw? Going through the Gunslinging course may be supplementary for you all, but this is a life-saving ability! If you don't wanna learn, then buzz off ASAP!"

Teacher Yang's tone was improper, and there were even traces of jealousy in his eyes.

He was very grumpy. In the first class yesterday, he gave his students a taste of the wrath of God, using an old-school pistol, he did not even instruct them to put on their earplugs before proceeding to hit a few targets, causing their ears to buzz terribly.

In this way, it left a deep impression on the students, and they were even be a little afraid of him!

At this time, Qin Feng slowly walked forward and glanced at the bench which had guns laid on top of it.

Qin Feng said coldly, "Teacher, what you said weusing firearms to protect ourselves is not wrong. However, we have the freedom to learn whatever we want in this university. Therefore, I think that this course is not useful to me at all. Why should I still come for this class?"

"Not useful at all?" Teacher Yang was enraged as he glared at him. "What the hell do you mean not useful at all? You're bonkers, kid! Are you now a G-tier ability user? If not, just zip it! Without firearms to protect you, then what good will your abilities do? Even in the future, you will be protected by other people like a precious animal! "

The students in the class clearly did not agree with what he said.

It was recognized that ability users were the strongest among all combat professions, yet it sounded like something that was despicable based on what he said.

They were all ability users so what Teacher Yang said was actually directly demeaning them.

These people had awakened their abilities, and they were still proud of their luck until now!

Qin Feng laughed coldly, his voice laced with mockery.

"Teacher, I'm not actually talking about guns. All I'm saying is that I don't need to learn what you are teaching!"

"What?" Teacher Yang was utterly livid. He had never been treated like this by a student before.

Qin Feng have notmust not have seen the ability that he had displayed the day before.

"Kid, believe it or not, I won't let you graduate. The Gunslinging course is the second most important course for the abilities class, yet you have the audacity to say that what I'm teaching is not worth learning!"

"Oh? Graduate?" Qin Feng thought about it for a while, and felt that these words of Teacher Yang, who was roaring like a mad dog, finally managed to threaten him. "Well, in that case, why don't you just assess my abilities. If I pass the assessment, I will not come for class in the future, and you have to fill in my report card with full marks. What do you think?"

Teacher Yang grinned savagely.

"Fine, you've got quite the guts. I've never seen such a crazy person like you. Your name's Qin Feng, right? Let's do this assessment. If you fail, then get the hell out of Chengbei University immediately!"

The surrounding people suddenly exclaimed out loud, apparently not expecting Teacher Yang to say so.

"Teacher Yang, I don't think that's a good idea. It's better if you just punish Qin Feng and he'll come for your class everyday!"

The other students in class dared not speak up, but they all felt that Teacher Yang had gone a bit too far.

"Am I the teacher or are you the teacher? Step aside! I can't teach such a student; I do not want him in my class!"

Upon being lashed at, Zhao Yu hunched down timidly and lowered her head with her eyes all red.

At this time, Qin Feng's face was entirely frosty.

Teacher Yang was really way too much!

However, without waiting for him to say anything, Teacher Yang pulled out a gun from the machinery. It was just a pistol.

The ability users would learn how to use pistols which were easy to carry around.

But obviously, the workmanship of this gun was much more complicated than the other firearms, and it looked way more powerful.

"Assemble this gun under 30 seconds, and then aim it at the bullseye. An average score of eight points in ten shots will be counted as a passing mark!"

Everyone was silent once again as they did not expect the content of the assessment to be so difficult!

After all, when they were in secondary academy, the most that they did was to attend some combat classes and would not come across Gunslinging classes.

Yesterday, they had just learned to take apart a basic pistol.

As for this pistol that was so complicated, and was soon disassembled, they were not able to tell what it was.

Qin Feng nodded, and his face was calm.

"Teacher Yang, why don't you also join me in this assessment? If you fail, then you can get out of Chengbei University too. What do you think?"

"You, kid, refuse to give up until all hope is gone, eh!" Teacher Yang sneered, thinking that Qin Feng had wussed out.

The other party must have just failed to clearly see his movements, and now he wanted Teacher Yang to take part in the assessment with him. In this way, he could imitate his movements to assemble the pistol, and then hit the bullseye at random. As long as all the shots were above eight points, this bet would be Qin Feng's victory!

However, Teacher Yang had no intention of rejecting his challenge.

"Alright! I'll show you who's the real gunner here!"

Teacher Yang flicked his fingers and made cracking noises. He took out a firearm of the same model and dismantled it on the bench.

Zhao Yu came up with red eyes and became both a referee and a timekeeper.

"Ready, go!"

With those words, the duo made their move at the same time.

Chapter 75: Ten Points!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Feng's movements were swift. The components changed form at his slightest touch. Upon further observation, it was actually his sequence of reassembly.

Ka-chak, ka-chak!

Qin Feng's hands were so quick it almost seemed to form a mirage!

His body was enhanced whether in terms of strength or speed or agility.

Furthermore, Qin Feng had once absorbed the consciousness of an F-tier gunman. He had a strong sense of perception.

Hence, he already had a complete understanding of these machineries when Teacher Yang disassembled them!

Before Qin Feng was reborned, he had undergone extremely tough training to become a high tier Ancient Warrior. In his early years though, guns were always by his side.

After all, guns were a long range weapon. Even an Ancient Warrior had limitations in terms of his range.

Qin Feng started from nothing. Being a gunner was an almost exclusive job for the rich. Servicing the guns alone would attract a huge cost. Therefore, Grimm had always serviced the guns himself. Disassembling it was but a menial effort.

The rest of his classmates had a tough time learning the gunslinging ability. In his hands however, the gun had transformed into a different object.

Teacher Yang who was nonchalant at first was about to raise his head and throw out mocking insults. Yet, he saw that Qin Feng was halfway done in assembling his gun.

How long had it been? Five seconds? Six seconds?

Teacher Yang's eyes were wide in disbelief. His hands began to move faster. In his state of chaos, however, his movements were far from his best.

Ka-chak!

Qin Feng was done assembling his gun.

"Tick, time: 9.31 seconds!"

Immediately after that, Teacher Yang heard a gunfire.

Bam!

Qin Feng raised his arm. He did not seem to have aimed the gun properly yet he was able to hit one of the targets.

'Must be a lucky shot!'

Teacher Yang thought as such deep down, while expecting Qin Feng to miss the target.

But there was no fooling the mechanical voice that rang through.

"Ten points!"

Bam! Bam! Bam!

"Ten points!""Ten points!""Ten points!"

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Sounds of "ten points" kept coming in. The gunfire was ear-piercingly loud. But the phrase "ten points" was like a huge insult.

At this moment, Teacher Yang had not even finished assembling his gun yet!

Qin Feng calmly placed his gun on top of the bench and the sound of it woke Teacher Yang up from his dazedness. He could feel his face heating up like a surge of hot air rushing into his head. If only there were a hole he could crawl into.

"Teacher Yang, does this mean that I get full marks in the test then?" said Qin Feng calmly. "Of course, the previous bet was just a sudden outburst on my part. Don't take it seriously!"

Teacher Yang's expression was sombre.

This student was actually adding fuel to the fire.

Even if he were to treat it as a joke, he had already lost all the pride he had!

Ka-tang!

He threw his gun components onto the workbench. "I can't teach a student like you! You can teach this class instead!"

The teacher spat those words and turned to leave!

Teacher Yang slammed the door and then there was dead silence in the range.

"Qin Feng, you're amazing!" Zhao Yu's eyes were filled with admiration.

Teacher Yang showed off his skills yesterday, but he only got four ten-points and one nine-point. In the end, he even said that he was not at his top form.

However, Qin Feng's casual ten shots were not riddled with hesitations at all. His reassembly of the gun was quick as well. Compared to Teacher Yang's skills, it was a clear victory.

"Qin Feng, teach us!"

"Yeah, Teacher Yang is gone anyway."

"What kind of teacher is he, so irresponsible. Did he think he could blow us off? We are ability users."

"Yeah, it feels like Teacher Yang is always looking to start a fight with us."

Qin Feng looked on as his classmates complained about the teacher.

However, Qin Feng had driven the teacher away. He was not sure if Teacher Yang would still attend the coming classes, but one thing was for sure; he was not coming back for today's class.

"There's still ten minutes before recess, I'll show you the basics!"

The crowd cheered when they heard that Qin Feng was going to teach them. However, some of them were quite dismissive about it. They felt that Qin Feng was just trying to show off.

The ability users came from a wide range of personalities even during their middle academy years. Most of them who were enrolled into the top class of the advanced academy were merely lucky to have awakened their abilities.

There were those who enjoyed learning, but there were also those who loathed it. Qin Feng could care less about it.

"You're just going to need to practice assembling and disassembling the gun. However, shooting makes up a big part of our advantage. Ability users do possess some naturally awakened consciousness in them and can often become better than gunners. The gun is just a tool, the most important part is the user!"

Qin Feng explained to them how to inject their own conscious energy into the gun. The crowd became adept within a short period of time. Some of the students with higher consciousness could hit eight-points consistently.

Since the teacher was not there, there was no limit to their use of ammunition. The students fired away excitedly. Even those who were previously dismissive of Qin Feng had fun shooting away.

The afternoon class was an introduction to geography. Qin Feng returned to the library without hesitation. Yet, he was called to the counsellor's office by Cheng Chao.

Although Cheng knew that he was hard-headed, he did not know that he would be hard-headed to such an extent. It was only the second day and Qin Feng had already driven the gunner teacher away.

"I heard that you used only nine seconds to completely reassemble the T1 pistol, and your shots were all ten-pointers. Where did you learn that from?" asked Cheng Chao.

Qin Feng replied bluntly, "I didn't learn it from anyone. I have a photographic memory, and isn't it easy for people with high consciousness to hit the targets?"

Cheng Chao was speechless. He knew that Qin Feng had an S-rank consciousness level.

"Sir, I have some questions to ask as well!"

Qin Feng would never miss a chance like this. He asked away all the doubts he had encountered while studying about runes. Some of them were highly difficult.

Cheng Chao began to answer his questions that kept on coming. As time passed, the alarm bell for the school's dismissal sounded.

"Sir, sorry for taking up so much of your time. I'll buy you dinner tonight!"

"Tsk, are you trying to bribe me? Go home!"

"Alright then. Thanks teacher!"

Qin Feng did not mind being polite to Cheng to leave a good impression. Cheng Chao had a gentle nature but he was serious and reliable. He was definitely a good teacher.

But he was too kind a fool!

Cheng Chao was still thinking about Qin Feng's questions even after he had left, which left him startled.

"Didn't I call him over to talk about Yang Feng? How did he brush them off? I even gave him tuition!"

Cheng Chao did not know if he should cry or laugh.

At the other end of the school gates, Qin Feng and Zhou Hao had met up.

"Come on, psycho. Tell us how to join in the hunt against the Corpse Corps. I've been gathering information about that in the past couple of days!"

Chapter 76: G-tier Aptitude User Badge

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Simple, just show them a G-tier Aptitude User Badge!" Qin Feng started up his car.

Zhou Hao's mouth was wide agape. Perhaps Qin Feng's suggestion was workable, but still…

"Could we do it?" Zhou Hao was not confident.

Zhou Hao already had the capabilities of a G-tier. But when it came to fighting the creatures from the rift, he had only encountered them once when they fought the razor-fang infants.

He even hit a razor-fang infant with a baseball bat!

Still, the G-tier trial would require him to slay two hundred G-tier ultra beasts for him to be certified.

"With me here, you won't have to worry!" Qin Feng consoled Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao started mumbling. "Don't make me sound like a piece of trash, I don't buy it! It's just two hundred ultra beasts."

Qin Feng smiled gently. He did not argue with Zhou Hao.

Qin Feng and Zhou Hao entered the Great Hall of Certification in the Chengbei Colony. They both looked very young and attracted the attention of many around them.

"Getting their certification at such a tender age? They're probably just trying out!"

"Tsk, they're not gonna pass the test!"

"They're here to burn money, don't care about them? If they do succeed we'll just get them to join us!"

"Let's see how it goes!"

These people were looking for party members in the great hall of ability users. There were also small-sized mercenary groups and headhunters from large companies!

Qin Feng and Zhou Hao went to register. Getting an ability user's certification was serious business. Once they have registered, they would have to fork up 10,000 yuan. They would not get a refund if they were to fail the test.

"That's expensive!" Zhou Hao felt a pinch, although Qin Feng was the one who paid. "I'll ask my dad to reimburse you!"

At this moment, Zhou Hao did not care any longer!

Qin Feng casually waved his hand. "After tonight, you won't even care about such an amount!"

Zhou Hao thought that Qin Feng could confidently pass the G-tier's test. If they really were to succeed, they would officially become recognized ability users. Even if they were to not do anything, they could earn 10,000 yuan per month by just putting their names up on the board at the colony. As their strength grew, and as they kept getting more certifications, they could earn 90,000 yuan every month if they were to reach the tier of G9.

This was just the base rewards. There were still many other benefits to take into account. These were all tactics employed to retain the ability users in the colony.

The colony needed these people to ensure their safety.

"Strength test, number 231, come forward!"

"It's my turn!"

Zhou Hao went forward and threw a punch at the testing machine.

He actually did a test three days ago. At that time, his punch scored 516 points.

Boom!

The number rose rapidly in one punch.

678!

In just three days, his strength had increased by more than 150!

Even Zhou Hao was surprised. He did not do any special training these past few days. All he did was practice Qin Feng's Obsidian Gale.

Zhou Hao was overjoyed. This was evidently the work of practicing the Obsidian Gale technique. Although he knew of the power of the Obsidian Gale, he did not expect the effects to be that good. He thought that he would have to train for another one or two years!

After that was the speed test. His speed had been doubled compared to three days ago. The increase in speed was much larger than the increase in strength. The Obsidian Gale technique was an internal kungfu that emphasized agility.

"You have passed the test. Please hand in proofs and recordings of two hundred ultra beasts in three days' time. If you fail to complete it after three days, we will regard it as a forfeiture. The next period for submitting your registration would be one month after that!"

Zhou Hao, who was overjoyed at first, turned pale.

Two hundred ultra beasts in three days, that would be a tough feat even if they went looking in the wilderness!

Qin Feng had also passed the test. With the power that he possessed right now, a single punch would probably score more than ten thousand points. Hence, he restrained himself and threw a gentle punch. He only demonstrated a little bit of his speed to pass the test.

"Let's go!"

Qin Feng tapped on Zhou Hao's shoulder.

"Go where?" Zhou followed Qin Feng as he asked eagerly.

"We're going to kill ultra beasts!"

"Now?" Zhou Hao's eyes grew wide.

It was already five in the evening. The early spring day would soon turn dark at 7pm. It was the time when ultra beasts were the most active, and they were going to hunt down ultra beasts now. Would it not be suicide?

Right at this moment, some people had gathered around them. "You must be Zhou Hao, we just saw your test results, you have great potential. Wanna join our mercenary legion?"

"Join us, it's only two hundred ultra beasts, we'll take you through it. We guarantee you'll be able to finish the quest!"

"Hmph, us Dacheng Group has a branch in the Chengbei Colony. Join us to enjoy the best offer!"

The smaller mercenary groups that were persuasive at first could only abandon their hopes. After all, it was a big corporation they were talking about!

They did not expect a big corporation to recruit them. But then again, Zhou Hao's potential was for all to see.

"Hehe, sorry guys, I've got other matters waiting, I'll go on ahead!" Zhou Hao apologized to them and started running. "Wait for me, Qin Feng!"

The human resource executives of the Dacheng Group had a stern expression. They coldly said, "Zhou Hao, don't get cheated by your friend. You've got better talent than him!"

Zhou Hao waved his hand and let out a bitter smile. 'Better talent than Qin Feng? Are you joking? Qin Feng is an ability user!'

Zhou Hao hopped on the co-driver's seat. As the hover car made its way to the wilderness, he could not help but get excited. His mouth did not stop yapping along the way.

"It's my first time going to the wilderness! I'm a bit excited by the thought of it!"

"Hey, Qin Feng, do you think that the Dacheng Group really wants me?"

"We're heading out of the city!"

Qin Feng smiled gently. He was in a good mood as he drove the car.

The energetic Zhou Hao made him feel comfortable.

It was the kind of perfection he seeked for in this life after rebirth.

However, after they left the city, Zhou Hao's face turned from excitement to one that was grim. Finally, he stopped talking.

He could feel a dangerous presence all around him.

The car sped up after they had left the city. They were finally utilizing the potential of the car but they did not stay on the highway for long before going off the beaten path.

There was not any tree along the track. One could even see a faint dark green rust. It must be a road from the olden days.

The road would have been very wide then, pristine even. Else, it would not have made it until today!

"This road leads to the copper mine of Greenhill!" said Qin Feng.

Zhou Hao's eyes changed from confusion to bewilderment!

After attending university, geography lessons were no longer about the five great oceans and eight great continents of the world. Instead, the lessons started to teach about the areas starting from Chengbei Colony.

These were all roads that they would take in the future.

The copper mines of Greenhill, this was what Zhou Hao had just studied!

His face turned pale!

"You, you're not thinking of killing the monster bats in the Greenhill Copper Mines, are you?"

Chapter 77: The Greenhill Copper Mines

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Oh? You knew?" Qin Feng was surprised.

"We just learnt about it this afternoon!" answered Zhou Hao.

Qin Feng just realized that although they shared the same course structure, he did not go to the class.

"The Greenhill copper mines cover a wide area, but they haven't found a need to gather all its ores. The colony has no plans to tame the area. The mines have always been inhabited by the giant bats. Killing two hundred of them would be a piece of cake, else we would have to spend more than three days just to look for ultra beasts!" Qin Feng explained briefly.

Hunting down threadsnakes over at the plantation area was not a bad option as well, but Qin Feng would not hear any of it. There would be an overpopulation of giant rats that would cause tremendous damage to the crops.

Zhou Hao's face was sallow. "Why are you so calm? We're not merely talking about two hundred ultra beasts. It is said that up to tens of thousands of bats live in the Greenhill caves! Each one of them are G3-tier, how can we defeat them!"

Qin Feng was unshaken. "Believe me, if we can't overcome them now, the Corpse Corps is going to be much worse, you won't even be able to step foot there!"

Zhou Hao gritted his teeth. He was now more determined.

"I guess you're right, let's go!"

Qin Feng's car was in hovercraft mode. The ground surface was untraversable so they could only hover forward.

The sun had set after an hour when they finally reached the Greenhill Copper Mines.

There was a large hole on the ground that led to the copper mines. There was still a railway track that had rusted away which was used to transport copper ores.

"Here, put this on!"

Qin Feng took out a silver-colored body armor and an energy gun.

It was the Beast King Armor made by Qin Feng. Qin Feng's body was now parallel to an ancient martial artist that had a fortified constitution. Naturally, he did not need the armor.

"This?" Zhou Hao was astounded. It was a silver runic gear that he had never encountered.

Even a touch of the armor made him grow attached to it.

"How about you, don't you need this?"

Although Zhou Hao was touched, he did not put it on immediately out of concern for Qin Feng.

"Quit yapping, these giant bats won't do me any harm!"

"I'll be wearing them then. Hehe, if people knew that I have a shiny armor like this, they'd die from envy!"

Zhou Hao wore the armor inside his shirt and he felt much safer.

A while later, they had reached a dark region of the cave.

Phwoosh!

A fire lit up!

It was Qin Feng's fire ability.

He was able to see in the dark but that did not mean that Zhou Hao could do the same. It was better to have fire to light the way.

Qin Feng then took out a crossbow and walked ahead.

"I'll catch one for you to kill in a while, remember to use Obsidian Gale Kick!"

"Okay!"

"Remember to switch on your recorder!"

"Right!"

They needed to record their hunt. How else could they prove that they had slain two hundred ultra beasts?

Zhou Hao had a grim expression on. He was no longer smiling as he gathered the internal forces around his eyes and ears. It gave him a boost in his senses.

Shortly after, they could hear the flapping sound of the bats' wings.

"Here they come!" Zhou Hao clenched his fist anxiously.

Qin Feng was much more tranquil than him.

After all, these bats were only at G3 tier. They could not do anything to him.

Swoosh!

Qin Feng pulled the trigger. The bolt traveled into darkness, hitting two bats at once.

Flop!

The bats were hit in their heads and fell to the ground. Another bat circled mid-air for a while after it sensed that something was amiss. But in a short moment, the bat charged toward Qin Feng and Zhou Hao's position.

"I'll leave this one to you!"

Zhou Hao could finally see the giant bat.

The videos he had seen did not do the bat justice. It was much more terrifying in real life.

The bat had a huge body. Its body was almost half a meter long and looked like a rat. The muscles were stout and powerful. It had a wingspan of around one and a half meters. The bat looked frightening.

The bat's bloodied eyes and fangs sent shivers down one's spine.

"Obsidian Gale Kick!" Zhou Hao leapt upward and swung his leg on the bat.

The giant bat evaded his kick and flapped its wings. Its claw scratched Zhou Hao's shoulder.

If it were not for the silverlight armor, his flesh would have been ripped apart.

"Aim for the wings, stay calm and look for an angle to go in!" Qin Feng said in a low voice.

Zhou Hao circled around and found a good spot. His kick landed right at the center of the giant bat's wing. Another kick followed, rupturing the bones in the giant bat's wing.

The attack incapacitated the bat!

"Try flying, you scum! You're gonna die anyway!" Zhou Hao pulled out the energy gun from his waist. He aimed the gun at the giant bat's head and pulled the trigger.

The shot pierced through the giant bat's brain. It was dead.

"Collect the blood in its heart and the wings! The tail as well!"

Qin Feng reminded him.

The most prized item of the giant bat was the blood in its heart chamber. It was a simple potion that could strengthen a person's constitution. It had better efficacy than a G-tier strengthening potion and therefore should not be wasted.

A pair of bat wings could fetch about 2,000 yuan. It was not that appealing to Qin Feng. For Zhou Hao, however, it was considerable wealth!

The tail was of the smallest size. It was used to turn in the mission.

Zhou Hao took out his dagger and a syringe to collect the required materials. The battle had given him great confidence.

But of course, it was due to the strength of his silverlight armor as well.

As the two of them went in further, the number of giant bats increased as well. Qin Feng would leave Zhou Hao a bat to deal with everytime. Zhou Hao's killing speed became faster.

Zhou Hao had strong talents. He was also using a B-tier internal neigong and a martial arts technique. He had no problems dealing with the G3 ultra beasts.

Three hours later, Zhou Hao became exhausted. He could no longer proceed!

His internal forces were not strong enough and he had hardly ever used them. He was at his limit.

"We'll stop here for today!"

"Alright!"

Zhou Hao did not put on a brave face. He carried his loot and was ready to leave.

However, as they went back to the car, he became excited once again.

"I think I've just killed fifty giant bats just now!" Zhou Hao counted his kills briefly and realized that he had managed to achieve a great outcome in just three hours. Also, his frantic manner in the beginning had obviously wasted some of his time.

At this rate, the mission to slay two hundred ultra beasts did not seem that hard now.

Zhou Hao suddenly felt that the test was too easy.

Had he suddenly earned the ability to survive in the wilderness?

Right at this moment, Zhou Hao felt that his world had changed! The world was now a wider place!

It was only twelve at night when they reached the colony. Qin Feng brought Zhou Hao to the Wanzong equipment store.

Wanzong operated 24 hours a day.

As soon as Qin Feng entered the store, he saw Little Sun in a smart-looking suit. His hair was neatly combed. There was a silver nameplate on his left chest.

Sun Yu! The position written there was manager.

Qin Feng was taken aback. He did not expect Little Sun to be promoted to a manager in just a few days' time.

"Mr. Qin!" Sun Yu's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Feng. He immediately went forward to greet him.

At this moment however, Qin Feng's communicator started vibrating.

Report chapter

The familiar vibration made Qin Feng survey his surroundings subconsciously.

Even though it was midnight, there were still trades going on in the Wanzong equipment store. People trade in the evening and fight during the day.

There were still five people inside the large store.

Qin Feng glanced at his communicator without showing any expression.

[Attention bounty hunter! Criminal confirmed: Liu Jiaming]

[Attention bounty hunter! Criminal confirmed: Liu Jiaxing]

[Attention bounty hunter! Criminal confirmed: Liu Jiafu]

It was not Qin Feng alone that was looking around. Even Zhou Hao raised his hand and started panicking.

Zhou Hao had downloaded the Bounty Hunter Network as well after Qin Feng's episode with Viper.

As Zhou Hao was about to say something, Qin Feng signalled him with his hand. Zhou Hao became silent.

"Little Sun, it's only been a few days and you are now a manager! Congratulations!" said Qin Feng.

Sun Yu immediately replied," It was all thanks to you, Mr. Qin, that my sales increased by leaps and bounds!"

Sun Yu was able to become a manager because Qin Feng had ordered a silver light weapon, the Verdant Emperor Saber from him. Qin Feng spent more money afterwards which contributed to Sun Yu's sales and made him stand out.

The Wanzong headquarters immediately decided to make Sun Yu the manager.

By doing so, it not only affirmed Sun Yu's capabilities, but it was also because of a customer like Qin Feng.

As Qin Feng became stronger, his spendings wound increase as well. A normal salesperson might not have enough access to some wares and Qin Feng might feel underappreciated. They would not want to lose him as a customer.

This was how Wanzong maintained its edge.

The previous middle-aged lady storekeeper had to force a smile while showing wares to the other customers. She was demoted from her shopkeeper position due to her incompetence. If it were not for her relative that was an ability user, she would have been let go.

"No need to thank me, you did a fine job. I'm here to sell some stuff this time!" Qin Feng pulled out a large parcel.

Even though the wings were foldable, Qing Feng had killed more than a hundred in one night. It was more than enough!

"Alright, I'll ask my men to count them!"

"Good, my friend has some as well. Please count them separately!"

"Understood."

The workers started to get busy. The price of giant bat wings often fluctuated. If they were sold individually, one would fetch around 2,400 yuan. But Wanzong would buy them at a cheaper price at 2,100 yuan per piece.

The workers quickly finished counting the stock.

"Mr Qin's wares can sell for 275,100 yuan while Mr. Zhou's can sell for 111,300 yuan. Is there anything else you'd like to purchase?" Sun Yu asked.

Qin Feng pondered for a while. "I'll have a T7 battlesuit!"

The T7 battlesuit was much more expensive than the T3 battlesuit at 150,000 yuan but the quality was much better as well. Qin Feng's battlesuit had worn out during his fight with He Li in the laboratory.

Zhou Hao was not in the mood to buy anything.

"I'm good!"

"Alright!"

Qin Feng tried on the new battlesuit and he nodded in satisfaction. After deducting the price of the battlesuit, Sun Yu closed the deal with Qin Feng and Zhou Hao.

"Let's go!" Qin Feng gestured to Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao wanted to say something to him but he did not argue with Qin Feng. The two of them left the store.

Once they stepped out from the door, Zhou Hao could not hold it in anymore.

"Qin Feng, why didn't you do something, those three were only at G tier!" said Zhou Hao.

Qin Feng had killed even Viper. What were these three to him?

Qin Feng shook his head. He replied, "They were looking at guns!"

Before Zhou Hao could reply anything, Qin Feng continued on. "I'm sure they wouldn't dare to rob anything from Wanzong's store, but the guns are loaded. We would be jeopardizing the lives of innocent people if we were to do something!"

After all, the employees in Wanzong were just ordinary people who did not know how to fight. The salesperson who was serving them was just a twenty-year-old woman.

Zhou Hao subconsciously looked back to check the condition of the store. He was subtly concerned.

And then he saw the three men coming out. They looked like they were not paying attention but they were actually headed for them!

Zhou Hao was a bit startled.

"Ha!" Qin Feng laughed gently. Did they take them for an easy meal?

Qin Feng was dressed in branded casual wear while Zhou Hao was in his school uniform.

The two of them did not look like combatants at all. Instead, they looked like rich people or procurement personnels for some mercenary groups.

These fugitives would never believe that Qin Feng was able to gather all those items by himself to sell.

They would naturally believe the first possibility.

Because this was the real target of the Liu brothers.

Kidnapping!

The trio often employed kidnapping as their tactic according to the bounty hunter network. They would then defraud their victims' relatives of their ransoms. After the relatives had transferred the money to them, they would kill off their victims.

The modus operandi was an effective one. The trio was already involved in many cases!

"Here!" Qin Feng whispered to Zhou Hao. They did not go back to their hover car. Instead, they went to a side street.

The trio looked at each other. One of them drove a car while the other two rushed toward Qin Feng and Zhou Hao.

Afterward, the head of the Liu Brothers, Liu Jiaming, brandished his sword and he was about to slash Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao could no longer hold it in. He gave him a back kick.

Bam!

Liu Jiaming flew three meters back after being kicked by Zhou Hao.

"F*ck, you little b*stard!"

Liu Jiaming did not expect Zhou Hao to resist at all. He let out a furious scream. Zhou Hao did not give him any chance at all. He reached for his energy gun at his waist and fired.

"Arghh!!" Liu Jiaming wailed in agony. A bloodied hole emerged on his thigh.

Teacher Yang from the university was right about one thing. Guns were very useful, especially when you were at a low tier.

Therefore even a practitioner of the ancient martial arts would carry a gun with them when they were just starting out.

Next to him, Liu Jiaxing was about to reach for his gun as well. But Qin Feng would never allow that to happen.

Qin Feng appeared behind him like a ghost. His hand fell onto his opponent's shoulder.

Ka-chak! Ka-chak!

"Arghhh!"

His opponent's shoulder was immediately ruptured by his grip!

The last fugitive, Liu Jiafu, who was driving a car was about to turn around and flee!

"Still thinking about running away? Too late!"

Qin Feng gave a cold smile. He pulled out the energy gun at his waist. It was not the gun he bought from Xue Xingfu. It was one of the loots from He Li.

Bam!

At the sound of gunshot, the bullet pierced through the car's back window and made a web-like crack. In the next moment, the bullet pierced through the head of the final fugitive.

He lost control of the car and crashed into a pole. The car finally stopped.

They were not fighting in some far off desolate place. People started screaming and running away terrified!

For ordinary people, although the colony was safe, it did not mean that they led a peaceful life.

Fights could break out at any moment within the colony. Fights between humans were inevitable. More ruthless, even. Anyone could be involved easily without any warning given.

Chapter 79: Gals before Pals

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Out of the three fugitives, one was killed by direct gunfire while the other two were incapacitated. Zhou Hao excitedly called in for a request.

Within moments, Zhang Haoyang showed up with his people.

Normally, they would not show up for a G3 ability user. However, since the Liu Brothers had committed many crimes, their victims were often rich or noble young people. Hence, although the ransoms were not much, the bounty on them was tremendous.

Some of them offered a huge bounty while some of them offered less. They added up to 20 million yuan in total for the three brothers.

Zhang Haoyang smiled bitterly when he saw Qin Feng. "Oh, it's you. You can earn a fortune this time!"

"It's not bad!" Qin Feng smiled. He knew that bounty hunting was not profitable every time. However, he was delighted to see Zhang Haoyang's bitter face.

After arresting the fugitives, the mission was complete. Qin Feng and Zhou Hao each received a reward of 10 million yuan.

"Qin Feng, I'll transfer 5 million to you!" Zhou Hao knew that Qin Feng contributed the most for their capture. Without Qin Feng, he would not have dared to fight them.

It was hard to blame Zhang Haoyang for being surprised to see Qin Feng as he felt that the world was small indeed.There were many ability users that were linked to the bounty hunter network but they might not necessarily take action.

After all, if they were to fight, nobody was able to guarantee a victory. They could even end up dying or attracting gruesome revenge.

"Don't worry about it. Keep it and buy a car tomorrow afternoon!" replied Qin Feng.

Zhou Hao was taken aback. "Why would I buy a car!"

Qin Feng pointed at Xiao Bai that had not moved even once on his shoulder. "You were sitting on Xiao Bai's seat. She's very upset."

It was not only that. Xiao Bai wanted to attend classes with Qin Feng during the day. At night, she could transform into a human and dress up in pretty clothing.

With Zhou Hao tagging along, not only could she not transform into a human, she had even lost her seating privilege.

The beast king's territorial instinct kicked into play after her seat was taken by someone else. If it were not for Qin Feng, Zhou Hao would have been swept away by her claws!

After listening to Qin Feng's explanation, his jaw dropped.

"Damn, I thought I was your pal, is my position lower than Xiao Bai?"

Qin Feng contemplated for a while before answering in a serious tone. "Yes, you are much lower."

Xiao Bai was recognized by Qin Feng as his girlfriend!

It had always been gals before pals since ancient times. How could Zhou Hao be more important than Xiao Bai!

Qin Feng chuckled lightly. He was only joking around.

Of course they were both important.

Zhou Hao was taken aback by his words.

"Alright, you're gonna walk yourself home. I need to leave as well!"

Qin Feng did not send him home and left in his car. Zhou Hao rolled his eyes.

On the next day however, Zhou Hao really went to buy a car. The car was even more expensive than Qin Feng's, but it did not look too glaring. It looked like an ordinary off-road car. Still, it had a hovering system. The price was 9 million.

Perhaps he had learned from Qin Feng's choice. His car was a five-seater, and there was enough room to carry some stuff.

"How's this? My dad chose this with me. Look at how rugged it is, this is what you call a man's car!" Zhou Hao gloated.

Qin Feng nodded. "Your dad sure has an eye for cars. Remember to send him some money, get him a better house or something!"

"I know, I'll send him more after I earn some money!"

Although Zhou Hao's home was in the commoner's area, it was situated too close to the ghettos. It was still quite dangerous.

Zhou Hao was not the kind of guy to forget about his family once he had earned some money. After buying the car, he sent the rest of the money to his parents.

After the battle last night, he was pretty shaken up.

'There's no knowing when I might die in the wilderness. Better to leave the money to my parents!'

However, he did not voice his concern to Qin Feng. It would have meant that he had no faith in Qin Feng.

After the class had been dismissed, they headed back into the wilderness.

Inside Qin Feng's hover car. Bai Li could not hold it in any longer as the buildings around her became sparsely spread. Poof! She turned into a humanoid.

Qin Feng gripped the steering wheel tightly. He almost drove the car into a ditch.

"Master, do I look good in this? Or that? Or this one over here?"

Bai Li was indulging herself in a selection of clothes.

Qin Feng replied, " Are you going for a pageant?"

"What's a pageant? Is it a competition to see who's prettier? Of course I'm the prettiest!"

Bai Li raised her chin proudly.

"Get dressed quick!"

Qin Feng was kneading his forehead.

After some effort, Bai Li put on her clothes. She even matched it with a pair of high heels.

They came down from their car after reaching the Greenhill Copper Mines' entrance. Behind them, Zhou Hao thought that he had seen a ghost!

"Qin Feng, why is there another person in your car, where did you pick her up from?" Zhou Hao pointed at Bai Li in a puzzled manner. He then felt that his actions were inappropriate and quickly retracted his finger. He was smiling like a fool.

"How do you do, beautiful!"

"Hmph!"

Bai Li did not harbor any good feelings toward Zhou Hao who had taken her seat. Zhou Hao was the only person who had rode in Qin Feng's car although the car was bought ages ago.

"Stop fooling around, she's Xiao Bai. Just call her Bai Li." Qin Feng closed in on Zhou Hao. "She's a Beast King, she knows shapeshifting. I won't be able to save you if you misbehave again!"

Zhou Hao was in disbelief. He looked over at Bai Li.

A humanoid ultra beast?

Who knew that Xiao Bai was so powerful.

Humanoid ultra beasts were not a rare sight after the spatial rift had opened up. Instead, there were many that had blended in among humans. Some of them caused bloody massacres while some had produced many talents.

The most famous one was Bard the Blue Dragon. In human form, he was a gentle middle-aged man. He had taught many water-elemental abilities and dragon techniques!

And then there was the infamous Snakewoman Evergreen. She appeared as a bewitching lady and fed on men after successfully luring them in with her appearance. It was shuddering just to think about it.

Unsurprisingly, those who could shapeshift were all at the level of a beast king.

"Damn son, you sure are lucky, I'm so envious of you!" Zhou Hao was impressed.

"My luck's not bad!" Qin Feng smiled.

Without luck, how could he be reborned and enjoy such a strong foundation?

The three of them entered the mines together and once again began their hunt.

Zhou Hao was much stronger than he was yesterday. His energy had also increased considerably.

It was due to the giant bats' blood from their heart chambers.

There were only one or two drops from each bat located inside the part of their heart that was still developing. They were exceptionally viscous, almost at the consistency of jelly. Hence, it was easy to gather them. After Zhou Hao went home, he diluted the blood and bathed in them, boosting his energy by a little.

Hence, compared to the chaotic battle the day before, he was performing much better.

"Let's go deeper!" Zhou Hao was anxious to test himself by going deeper into the mines. There were not many bats around where they were!

"Very well, let's go!"

Qin Feng nodded.

After walking for a hundred meters, Xiao Bai's eyes lit up.

"There's good stuff here!"

After saying so, Bai Li disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Hao knew that Xiao Bai was strong, and he was not exactly clear on how Xiao Bai had disappeared. He just thought that her speed could not be caught by the naked eye.

In the next moment, Bai Li had already returned with a small bonsai-like tree in her hands. There were a small row of fruits on the tree, red through and through.

Bai Li plucked one off and put it in her mouth before nodding in satisfaction.

"Not bad. It's quite delicious, sweet and sour."

Bai Li had not found anything worth eating since she was born. It was not that she did not need to eat but because human food provided energy that was too mottled, and it was not as good as the energy she received from energy cores!

However, she had eaten talent fruits before and nowadays there were more of those lying around, naturally that was a good thing.

Qin Feng saw the fruit and instantly knew what it was.

"Bludcatarrch fruit!"

Speaking of which, the fruit was pretty disgusting. It was a spirit herb cultivated by vampire bats using their own phlegm. It was not exactly phlegm though as it was actually weak heart blood. The heart blood was a jelly with a fruit-like shape, hence the nickname 'bludcatarrch' fruit.

While the fruit did not sound appetizing it had a strong physical growth ability, which was a thousand times stronger than the blood from a giant bat.

This kind of treasure was not something a normal giant bat could produce.

"Shoot!" Qin Feng's face became pale.

Zhou Hao had also just realized what it was, after all he had only gone through the course about Greenhill mines the day before. It was said that the place was giant bat territory, where there were ultra beasts such as vampire bats producing spirit herbs like nyxweed, sonicblooms and of course, bludcatarrch fruit.

To think he would unexpectedly come across these today!

It was just then that Teacher's words came to mind, "As the blood of many bats are needed, the production of bludcatrrch fruits are overseen by higher rank ultra beasts, forcing the lower rank ultra beasts into cooperation to nurture them. As such, when this kind of fruit appears, we need to be aware of our surroundings. Powerful beast generals may be nearby, or even a beast king!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Hao's face also waned and beads of sweat formed on his brow.

"Move!" Qin Feng shouted.

Zhou Hao picked himself up and bolted after Qin Feng.

Xiao Bai had no idea what was going on, but gracefully chased after the two. Despite wearing high heels, she had no problem keeping up with them.

If one were to look carefully, the person would be able to see that her feet were not touching the ground at all.

"Why are you running?"

Bai Li was oblivious.

Then there came a cacophony of noise, all the sound of flapping wings seemed so dense that there was no way to make out the number of bats causing the ruckus.

Qin Feng's face hardened.

He took the opportunity to look behind him and, in the darkness, saw hundreds of bats flying over.

If it were not for the cave not being very big, the numbers would be even more!

"Xiao Bai, in front of me!" Qin Feng pushed Bai Li away and hysterically urged his consciousness to come forth.

The satellite near the crystal orb suddenly burst into a huge rune.

Zhou Hao felt the light behind him shining brightly. Not knowing what was happening, he could not help himself but look behind him, he saw Qin Feng shrouded in a mysterious rune.

The runes were all black and red, rising up from around him, and there looked to be thousands upon thousands of them.

Qin Feng raised his hand and a fireball appeared in front of him. It was only about the size of a fist until hundreds of thousands of runes flooded toward the fireball, quickly making it grow in size.

In the blink of an eye, the fireball turned into a huge ball of flame more than three meters tall that almost blocked the entire tunnel of the mine.

"Go!"

Qin Feng pushed forward and the fireball thundered forth, charging toward the swarm.

Like being burned to a crisp, the bats who were in hot pursuit were all burned by the flame. Even if they did not die immediately, they would have been knocked out. A fireball in this kind of channel would be able to kill anything in an instant.

Zhou Hao stared on, dumbstruck and his jaw hanging.

"Ability user! Is it really that powerful?" Zhou Hao murmured, the display of power was terrifying.

"What are you doing? Run!"

Qin Feng pushed Zhou Hao and the two started to run again.

The fireball had disappeared and the sound of flapping wings could be heard in the distance. This time it sounded more frantic, as if it was gaining speed, as a sharp shriek came toward their direction.

Zhou Hao felt a stinging sensation in his ears.

"It's a beast soldier giant bat, G5 rank!" This was not good news for Zhou Hao. He had the ability to take down a bunch of ultra beasts but that did not mean that he could take on a beast soldier. That was well out of his capabilities.

Fortunately, the tunnel exit was right ahead.

"Qin Feng! That's a bad idea! If we run out, they'll keep chasing us! It's dark out!" Zhou Hao frantically said.

Qin Feng calmly replied, "Relax."

Zhou Hao was suddenly full of questions, but after hearing Qin Feng say that he could only put more power into his legs and keep going forward. It was a good thing Qin Feng gave him the Obsidian Gale Leg ability or else the bats would have caught up by now!

"Xiao Bai! Take out the box of bombs!" Qin Feng said.

Xiao Bai raised her hand and instantly the box appeared. Even while running for their lives, she was dependable and stable.

It was completely filled with bombs.

Not just any bomb, but extremely powerful timed bombs.

Qin Feng got them from He Li's Space Rune equipment, massive destructive power, and was saving it for a future occasion. He did not expect having to waste it on a G5 rank giant bat.

Qin Feng knew that not using it would be a bad idea, just like Zhou Hao being worried yesterday. There were an innumerable amount of giant bats within the Greenhill mines, now under the command of some unknown rank giant bat. If they were to rush out now, the consequences were unthinkable.

"You go on first!" Qin Feng stopped fifty meters from the exit of the tunnel, opening the box directly and quickly planting the bombs on the wall. He was surrounded by twenty to thirty powerful timed explosives, enough to completely destroy the whole tunnel!

"Qin Feng! Hurry up!" Zhou Hao called out from the tunnel exit.

"Move!"

Qin Feng commanded Bai Li to take him to the exit of the tunnel. Fifty meters was just the blink of an eye.

As Zhou Hao saw the two appear, his heart was finally able to pace itself!

At this moment, the violent flapping of wings could be heard again.

"Have fun!" Qin Feng tossed the remote control to Zhou Hao, who immediately slammed onto the red button.

"Ka-Boom!"

The whole mountain was rocked by the explosion, rocks broke loose and started crumbling down, and sporadic ultra beasts fled in a panic!

Zhou Hao stabilized himself before suddenly coughing.

Smog had surrounded them, and under the moonlight, dust could be seen flying around in the air.

"Qin Feng, next time, don't try to entertain me when our lives are at stake! What are you trying to do, acting all cool like?" Zhoa Hao berated through his coughs.

Qin Feng grinned but did not refute.

"I don't know if all the bats are crushed to death!"

Qin Feng shook his head. "The bombs were only placed to collapse the tunnel, it probably crushed a few hundred, any more than that would be impossible."

And it was that moment that the flapping of wings could be heard and a giant bat suddenly flew out of a cave.

Chapter 81: The Dark Ability

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Though at this time, Zhou Hao and Qin Feng were very calm.

The sound was no longer densely packed, there was only one!

"Hey hey, looks like there's a straggler. You'll serve nicely to show my accomplishment!"

Zhou Hao's legs flashed and he quickly took down the giant bat.

Qin Feng had already killed the stipulated number of bats before they came out of the tunnel. Zhou Hao had managed to kill almost a hundred, but there were still another hundred G-tier ultra beasts he had to take down.

If they could no longer hunt in the mine, Zhou Hao might have to skip school tomorrow!

Just after Zhou Hao had slain the bat, another one flew out from the cave!

This time, even Zhou Hao found it strange.

"I'll go check it out!" Qin Feng gave prior notice before walking into the mine.

At this time, the dust in the mine had settled. The position fifty meters into the mine had been blocked off by the fallen rock debris.

However, there was a crack in the ground near the blockage.

It was no bigger than the size of two palms. The giant bats could not fly out of it but it could fold its wings and crawl out, though it would require some effort on their end.

Yet, the body of the bats were flexible, and another one popped out rather quickly.

Qin Feng immediately shattered its skull with a shot and pulled out the giant bat. After it was pulled out, another started to appear.

"Master, you want some fruits?" Xiao Bai was on the sidelines watching the show, not understanding the appeal of some little winged rats.

She was chewing on some bludcatarrh fruit, and the faint sweet breath that came from her made the crawling bat more agitated.

"Squeek!"

The bats that were blocked off also let out a collective harsh shriek. They had also smelled the bludcatarrh fruit.

"Qin Feng, what's going on?"

Zhou Hao had handled the previous bat outside and he walked toward him, coming upon this unexpected scene.

"Hahaha! These giant bats are so dumb. Quick, let me have a go, I happen to need about a hundred more and I can literally just take them on here one by one!" Zhou Hao excitedly exclaimed.

Qin Feng shook his head.

"It's better for them to have appeared from the trapped mine before killing them, the video won't approve it if you kill them like this."

Those who did not know the actual situation would have considered this fraudulent, and if it were a machine that was auditing it, there would be random spot checks.

Zhou Hao thought about this and felt that it made sense so he did not reject Qin Feng's suggestion.

For all the giant bats that appeared after, Zhou Hao fought them in person. In Qin Feng's spare time, he wielded the Verdant Emperor Saber, killing whichever giant bat that would appear.

Even if the second bat that came out knew that the giant bat before it was dead, it could not head back. There must be countless giant bats pushing against it, all tempted by the bludcatarrh fruit.

Not only that, there was still the possibility of a potential king figure among them.

Zhou Hao's hunting speed was fast, but killing one hundred was something easier said than done. After an hour, he had already run out of power, yet there were still thirty G-tier ultra beasts he needed to slay.

At this point, he had already exceeded the extent of his ability!

"Xiao Bai, give him a bludcatarrh fruit!" Qin Feng ordered.

Bai Li reluctantly rewarded Zhou Hao in a manner as if she were gracing him with a fruit.

"Just one! I'm not giving anymore!" Bai Li said.

"Thank you, little princes!" Zhou Hao said sweetly, taking the fruit and directly swallowing it.

Suddenly, a pure burst of energy surged through his body, merging into all four of his limbs. The previously sore and weak muscles became full of vigor as if they were being activated again.

Zhou Hao's physical strength had advanced into G3 tier!

"Come! Let's go!"

Zhou Hao once more launched himself into combat with the giant bats.

After half an hour, Zhou Hao reached his goal of thirty but it was obvious that the two did not intend to leave the area anytime soon.

"Kill them all! This is all money!" Zhou Hao already had an extra dagger in his hand, just waiting for the next giant bat to appear.

Qin Feng thought for a moment, before asking Bai Li for another fruit and handed it to Zhou Hao.

"You stay here and keep killing, I'll head over to see the other side!"

Qin Feng intended to end these giant bats.

Although for Qin Feng, these giant bats could not add too much benefit to him due to their strength only being G3 to G5 in tier, but they were in large numbers and they could strengthen themselves!

"Roger that!"

In the previous battle, Zhou Hao was made aware of Bai Li's strength, and the ability to instantaneously move was simply the perfect solution for a quick escape!

What he did not expect was that Bai Li's ability for instantaneous movement was an incredibly rare spatial ability.

At this time, Qin Feng and Bai Li had reached the other end of the tunnel, two hundred meters away.

Since reaching the power of an F-tier beast king, even movement within one kilometer could be achieved, two hundred meters was a piece of cake!

Qin Feng could already clearly hear the sound of giant bat wings flapping.

"This time, let's try out the power of the darkness ability!"

Qin Feng had been stewing in the library for a couple of days, reaping in great reward. The giant fireball he had managed to toss out earlier came from such.

Of course, previously when chasing down Viper, Qin Feng had already utilized fire ability. Yet, it was not as big as it was this time, clearly it was not just a slight improvement.

Qin Feng came from around the corner, directly behind the swarm of giant bats. Since they were all preoccupied with the bludcatarrh fruit that Zhou Hao was holding, they completely ignored the two.

Qin Feng's consciousness began to mobilize and dark runes spread from his body.

At this moment, Qin Feng was not shrouded in flames, nor would he be radiant. Quite contrarily, he would be shrouded in darkness and become more elusive.

A black sphere appeared in his hands, and then, it gradually became larger.

Runes kept flooding into the sphere, making the dark orb grow into a terrifying three-meter-wide orb which consumed everything within sight. Qin Feng's vision was shrouded in complete darkness, even his sight had become pitch black!

"Go!"

Under Qin Feng's command, the dark orb silently flew forward.

It was completely silent, there was no screech like when the fireball impacted against the giant bats, nor the sound of an explosion.

Under the amplification of the hellstone, the power of the dark orb reached its fever pitch of horror as it swallowed the giant bats in the blink of an eye.

Wherever it went, the giant bats landed one after another, completely drained of any vitality.

The dark orb advanced ten meters and as the bats were so condensed in a single area, it killed up to five hundred giant bats.

Qin Feng stared on and seemed to understand the power behind the dark runes.

"So this is the dark rune. No wonder my senior said that the strongest dark ability was called the Finger of Death. It's because dark runes represent death just as light runes represent new life!"

"Once more!"

Qin Feng would not just stop because of the ominous implications behind the dark runes. On the contrary, he did not believe in such a thing as a 'good' or 'bad' ability, it was only the person using it that was strong or weak.

The dark orb was gathered once more!

Without a word, without a sound, the swarm of giant bats was consumed.

Chapter 82: Wiping Out Giant Bats

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, Qin Feng's consciousness had its limits. After firing about ten dark orbs, he started to feel a bit weaker.

Even Qin Feng himself did not know how many giant bats he had killed by now. It was at that time that the giant bat swarm experienced a shock, giving up on trying to squeeze through the crack and instead started to turn around in retreat.

"Let's go!" Qin Feng's expression changed, he was losing power and his face was wane. Definitely not a match against a group of giant bats.

Bai Li quickly grabbed Qin Feng and brought him back to the exit of the collapsed tunnel.

Zhou Hao's dagger arm was starting to feel weaker!

Looking at the time, it was already 3am in the morning!

In these past few hours, Zhou Hao's kill score was equally huge, having killed up to eight hundred giant bats.

"No more?" Zhou Hao's arms were trembling, truly slaying ultra beasts until his arm was going to fall off!

"Don't deal with the bodies yet, let's go back to the car and get some rest," Qin Feng said.

"Okay, I will call my dad and let him know I'm okay!" Zhou Hao saw the messages on his communicator and quickly dialed back to tell his parents that he was well, but he would not be able to go back today.

"Eat the rest of the bludcatarrh fruit, you've just violently expended a lot of energy. Don't fall asleep just yet, meditate first!"

"Got it!"

Zhou Hao returned back to his off-road vehicle, this time realizing the benefits of having such a big space. The back seats could be retracted in order to make a huge space. Zhou Hao sat inside and began to meditate on his internal power.

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Zhou Hao, who had been meditating his internal force, took a deep exhale. His eyes gleamed as he felt his exhaustion being swept away, obviously he had received a large gain.

"Haha, looks like I advanced again!"

A heavenly treasure, enough to speed up someone's progression. Zhou Hao now had the strength of a G4 tier!

In just one night, he was promoted nearly twice, Zhou Hao seemed to have uncovered the secret behind Qin Feng's strength.

Only in constant fighting, training yourself, adventuring and taking risks to retrieve treasures would one be able to make rapid progress.

Qin Feng was also done resting and the two began to sweep up their spoils. After all, this was a lot of money.

Qin Feng asked Xiao Bai to take him back into the depths of the tunnel and began to clean up the corpses of those beasts.

The number was beyond imagination.

He could not waste these materials, and had them all sorted out. In the end, he found the body of a beast king.

"I… I actually killed a beast king yesterday?" Qin Feng was very surprised.

The strength of this beast king during its lifetime was almost the same as the herbivorous giant rat king, but regardless of description it was still a beast king. Yet it had its lifeforce silenced by Qin Feng's dark ability and died here.

"No wonder those bats started fleeing yesterday!" Qin Feng thought about the scene yesterday and believed it to be the reason.

In fact, the beast king died in a cruel way.

It came here with a large number of children and grandchildren but were all buried together. It tried to use sonic waves to get the bats to spread apart, but due to the lack of space, it ended up getting stuck in the center.

When Qin Feng let loose his dark ability, it tried to hide, yet there was no way to avoid it and was put to death while still standing.

"The darkness ability is really powerful!" Qin Feng thought, feeling elated.

He began to pick up the corpses from the ground, not only was there a beast king, there were also six more beast generals among the three thousand corpses.

Including Zhou Hao's number, it looked like the giant bats of Greenhill mine had just suffered a gigantic loss!

The fight did not take long, but collecting the rest of the bodies took up to three hours.

Zhou Hao's side gave him a full harvest, his car brimming with loot and Qin Feng's things were hanging off from the side. The number was absolutely terrifying.

By the time they returned to the city it was already 8am. With a huge load of goods, they went to the Wanzong equipment shop first.

It was the only kind of store that would be able to afford their goods anyway.

"You should check the goods first, we still have other things to do. You can transfer the money our way after you're done checking!" Qin Feng said.

Sun Yu nodded excitedly, previously he was still thinking that the quality of the things Qin Feng sold to him were quite low. Today, he found out that Qin Feng made up for that with quantity, and the quantity was staggering.

Not only that, Qin Feng harvested the materials from the giant bat king so it could be made into a cloak and a dagger.

Since the abilities of the giant bat king was to hide in the dark, the rune equipment made out of its wings had a certain concealment ability. Qin Feng did not need it but Zhou Hao did.

This would greatly increase Zhou Hao's survivability. In combination with his Obsidian Gale Legs' escape potential, it would be impossible for people to keep up with Zhou Hao.

After bidding Sun Yu goodbye, Qin Feng went to the ability certification hall.

It was eight in the morning and the hall had just opened its doors, yet there were people going about already. It was certainly busy here regardless of the time.

After all, the ability certification hall also posted missions, unless there were special certification machinations in the area, the frogmen, wolves and so on that Qin Feng had killed before could be certified at the hall, increasing one's points and acquiring something that they would not usually be able to buy.

Qin Feng and Zhou Hao had just appeared, which attracted the headhunters that stayed around the certification hall all year long.

Zhou Hao and Qin Feng were here the day before yesterday, and some people would not forget young men with such potential. Yet, they were wondering what these two were doing here.

Not only that, both of them were carrying combat backpacks.

"Am I just imagining things?"

"How's that possible, didn't they just apply the day before yesterday afternoon? In this case, it's only been two days!"

"Not two days! It's only been forty hours!"

Nobody was certain what was going on, until they saw that Qin Feng and Zhou Hao were indeed there for certification.

Zhou Hao took out two hundred giant bat tails and at the same time submitted those with the video.

[Beep Beep. Certification passed. Congratulations on obtaining the G-tier ability assessment. Join the house of ability users!]

Qin Feng's side displayed the same.

"Qin Feng, do you want to do the attack power certification? We can raise our ranks!" Zhou Hao said excitedly. He was thinking about how he had gone up to G4 tier in one go, which would surely shock a lot of people.

After obtaining the G-tier aptitude user badge, you no longer needed to hunt monsters to upgrade yourself. As long as there was enough data, the badge would rank up automatically.

Moreover, the higher your rank, the better your welfare.

"Don't need it yet." Qin Feng understood that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

Zhou Hao might have the strength of a G4-tier but he definitely did not have the experience of being one. He was afraid that later on Zhou Hao might be assigned to an area that was too dangerous for him.

He could not tell him that reasoning though.

"If you get to G4 now, how are you gonna get along with our seniors?" Qin Feng made a joke.

"Haaah! You're right!" Zhou Hao felt even more pleased after hearing Qin Feng's words.

The thoughts of getting a rank certification was instantly dispelled.

As the two turned around, they realized that they were surrounded by a group of people. In the next moment, they were enthusiastically promoting their organizations.

Chapter 83: Approaching the Frontlines

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Feng and Zhou Hao had to struggle vehemently to finally get away from those people.

They were not going to join any silly organization.

The time was already past ten in the morning, it was no surprise that Zhou Hao too was late this time.

When Qin Feng arrived at school, the second course for rune writing was already underway. Qin Feng knocked on the door and when Cheng Chao saw him, he was undoubtedly rather angry.

"Go to the back and stand there for the rest of the class!" Cheng Chao said with a straight face.

"Yes, Teacher," Qin Feng nodded and stood where he was told without any complaints.

He drew strange gazes from the others in class, some of admiration, some of contempt and there were even traces of concern among them.

After all, Qin Feng's achievements in the gunslinging course were as good as the teacher's, in the end they were all students of the ability class. What they really wanted was to know how to control their abilities.

Everyone knew each other's power level, except for Qin Feng's. Most people speculated that Qin Feng's ability was not very powerful. In the future, he might be transferred to be a gunner. The most important point was that Qin Feng seemed like he really did not fit in!

The class resumed immediately so they no longer lingered on Qin Feng as they continued to concentrate on class.

Two hours into the class, after announcing that the class had ended, Qin Feng walked up to Cheng Chao's side.

Cheng Chao's face bore a serious expression, no longer concerned whether there were students around as he directly said, "Qin Feng, what's the matter? You're not even bothered to take my class now?"

"Teacher Cheng, I have something I want to talk about."

Qin Feng avoided the question. If it were not for the fact that it was Cheng Chao's class, he probably might not even be able to attend.

"What is it? Do you have a reason? You better give me a good reason, otherwise, don't even think about leaving today!"

Cheng Chao looked very displeased, Qin Feng really was too unrestrained and did as he pleased.

Yet Qin Feng still remained nonchalant. He had no traces of guilt nor fear.

Cheng Chao had not seen such a student for many years.

Qin Feng nodded and pulled out a palm-sized badge with a letter G used by the alliance engraved on it. "Teacher, now I can go out to help support the fight against the Corpse Corps!"

Cheng Chao looked at the aptitude user badge and his mouth opened up into an 'O' shape!

Those that were still in the class saw this and their eyes widened.

"An aptitude user badge. Qin Feng, you're already a certified ability user?"

"What?"

"Lemme see!"

At that moment, several people gathered around to gawk at Qin Feng's badge.

"That's probably a fake!" One of them said with uncertainty, in his heart he knew that it could not be true. After all, Qin Feng was a student that did not take class seriously!

At this point, Cheng Chao was also in disbelief. In fact, he was also unsure whether the badge was real or not, but based on his years of experience, he felt that the badge was not a fake!

"Real or not, you'll know after you verify it!" Qin Feng handed the aptitude badge to Cheng Chao.

Cheng Chao took the badge and flipped open his communicator doubtfully to scan the independent code below. That was something that could not be forged by anyone. Immediately, Qin Feng's information was displayed and it showed that his certification time was no more than just two hours ago.

Cheng Chao inhaled sharply.

For those who had recently awakened, reaching G-tier was not something surprising. For example, Cheng Chao knew that the Ancient Warrior class had a genius called Zhou Hao in it this year. Without any form of systematic training, he was able to punch out up to 500 points in one go.

Having such strength and being a certified ability user were two completely different things altogether.

After all, they had to kill two hundred monsters in three days' time. However, Qin Feng was in class yesterday.

"This. Wha-When did this happen? Why did you get your certification?" Cheng Chao did not know what to say. Qin Feng replied calmly, "Didn't I ask you before? So long as someone has reached G-tier they can go help hold back the Corpse Corps. Teacher, you agreed to this before."

Cheng Chao was speechless for a while, when did he agree to it? However, if one were to become a G-tier ability user, the person did have the ability to help out with the Corpse Corps.

"So you got certified in only two days' time? When did you have the time to kill so many ultra beasts?" Cheng Chao asked in astonishment.

"After school, all at night," Qin Feng said casually, those hearing this would surely not think that it was something casual at all.

The wilderness was extremely dangerous at night, and this was something everyone knew from the word going around, but now, Qin Feng did not just go out at night, he had also hunted down two hundred ultra beasts?

"You're a lunatic!" Cheng Chao was so shocked that he accidentally blurted out. He quickly came to and coughed politely to cover up his embarrassment. "Qin Feng, since you have a G-tier aptitude user badge, you can naturally go to the frontlines. However, Director Deng has already set off with the others, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with his team!"

Qin Feng took back the badge and nodded. "I own a car so I'll go by myself. Teacher, you don't need to worry."

Cheng Chao could not help but feel worried deep down. However, he knew that there was no way he could stop Qin Feng.

"Very well, I'll authorize your school leave, but you must return after one month. That's when the assessment is being held and you absolutely must attend!"

After one month, it would be the Five District Assessment, thinking of Qin Feng's strength made Cheng Chao feel a giddy sense of excitement.

What a lunatic, and a genius at that!

He had only been in school for a few days, yet he had reached G tier and even got himself an aptitude certification badge. When it was time to go to the Spring Hunting Ground, would he take down the four other sides and crush the other academies?

Things would turn in Chengbei's favor this time, no, it would overturn the outcome.

"Yes, teacher!"

Then, Qin Feng left the classroom, leaving the other students in complete shock. The news quickly spread throughout the school. A student from the first grade had become a certified ability user and went to the frontlines.

But soon they discovered that Qin Feng did not do it alone. Zhou Hao from the Ancient Warrior class was also going as well, and some people were saying that Zhou Hao and Qin Feng were actually friends.

Surely, the friend of a genius was also a genius!

Since Qin Feng and Zhou Hao had fought for the whole night, they waited for each other to rest up before heading off into the wilderness.

The Corpse Corps business had everyone up about in a state of panic. Two days later, people within the colony had also begun to display signs of decay.

The overwhelming publicity had begun to shroud the entire colony, those with the ability to fight were all summoned and sent off to the field, and they were being paid a hefty sum for it.

Six o'clock in the evening, Qin Feng and Zhou Hao's cars that were going down the man-made road that had been opened up eventually reached the frontlines.

When he saw the crater made by the Hellstone again, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Chapter 84: The Power of the Knight King

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was as if the place had become an entirely different world. The hilltops were unsightly, having become black as if scorched, and it stretched on for miles.

In the video previously shot by a drone, Qin Feng only saw a large number of the corpse corps but the area affected was definitely not so large.

Perhaps there had been a major change in the past two days, or perhaps that the video filmed was only the tip of the iceberg as it was the first form of media about the matter at hand.

It seemed that the situation was more of a crisis than initially imagined.

Qin Feng did not even have time to lament as a dark ray of light burst out from the top of the mountain in the distance. There were also eight rays of light that were surrounding the main one, reaching up into the skies.

And then, up in the air, a disc appeared.

"Rift! Spatial Rift!"

Qin Feng's and Zhou Hao's communicators were connected, which made it easy to contact each other for emergencies like this. It was Zhou Hao's frantic voice that came from the communicator.

"It's not a spatial rift, but a spatial passage!" Qin Feng exclaimed

The spatial passage opened up, and what quickly poured out were countless creatures. There were zombies and bone beasts, and the numbers were terrifyingly large.

The rift was only opened up for a few minutes, but several new figures had appeared. These people were equipped with gliding wings, well-equipped and their strength was definitely far from weak.

"Outta my way!"

One of the voices arrogantly called out before extending an earth-shatteringly huge palm outward, striking the ground below.

"Boom!"

After that one strike, the black light in the sky disappeared and the waves from the spatial passage began to stabilize.

Soon, a tall figure with dark runes covering its body appeared, and below its torso there was a thick black mist that resembled a warhorse made out of shadows. The upper body was clad in heavy knight-like armor and it held a pike in its hands.

"Clank!"

"Bang bang!"

The two began to exchange blows.

Qin Feng's eyes narrowed, he recognized the figure on the horse as the F-tier beast king he saw on the video. Even if he was a kilometer away, he could feel it. This beast king was in the F8 rank.

The one who was fighting with it was not a slouch either, he was an E-tier powerhouse.

The two of them were inextricably locked in battle and their fight gradually shifted from the mountain top.

It was at this moment a roar came from the horizon, reverberating through the air. Yellow, steaming artillery shells that were crossed in a perfect arc in the sky landed on the mountain top.

"Boom!"

The shells suddenly exploded, and the force of the vibration could be felt a thousand miles away. This was definitely the work of a powerful firearm user.

The remaining seven beams of light and one main beam of light in the sky became momentarily twisted, then were cut off. The originally stable spatial rift began to tremble before closing in on itself, causing the countless undead coming through to have their bodies crushed to death.

Up ahead came the sound of people cheering.

"Let's get into position first!" Qin Feng's voice rang out so that he could snap Zhou Hao out of his daze. The battle was quite entrancing for him. Zhou Hao, who had thought he had reached the big leagues, just realized that everything he had experienced up until this point was merely child's play.

The two cars started up again, and soon they saw the presence of the other people.

One thousand kilometers away from the edge of the Corpse Corps, assembled with traps and protective measures set up, the open ground was messy and full of domestic litter with tents of all shapes and sizes scattered around.

From time to time, the sounds of gunfire could be heard as a measure to prevent the corpses from wandering too close. Moreover, there were people moving about, some of their faces had blackened, apparently infected by the plague.

However, the body of an ability user was not weak. So long as they had left the area, they would recover from it.

"There are so many people!!"

For a moment, Qin Feng and Zhou Hao could not find anyone from Chengbei's advanced academies. However, Qin Feng did not come here to fight alongside those from the advanced academies!

"Let's find Xiao Jing first!" Qin Feng said. Xiao Jing was now part of Chengbei colony's garrison troop. Due to her talent and willingness to work hard, she had mixed in quite well with the rest of the troop after half a month, and had been promoted by team leader Li Wen to the rank of vice captain!

The world respected the strong, just because Xiao Jing just recently joined the garrison troop, it did not mean that she was to be underestimated. So long as she was strong, they would even make her a general!

While waiting for Xiao Jing to arrive, the surrounding people began to discuss among themselves.

"That firearm user from Dongling colony is way too strong, he is an E-tier firearm user who can take the enemy down from a thousand miles away!"

"If Liu Ba from the Xita district weren't in the front, he wouldn't have it so easy. Don't forget that his energy beams were reflected by that king tier knight, resulting in the death of more than a dozen aptitude users!"

"If you ask me, we should let the ability users move out!"

"What are they waiting for?"

Zhou Hao felt a sense of admiration. "That Liu Ba is really powerful!"

"It alright," If he really were powerful, they would not have been repelled, the enemy was just momentarily impeded. Not only that, Qin Feng knew that Liu Ba was pinned this time and he could be injured!

"Qin Feng, Zhou Hao!" Xiao Jing's voice rang out, and the two of them turned to the direction of the sound. They found Xiao Jing wearing a garrison troop's uniform, seemingly having grown more mature, raised in a manner that men would look up to. Heroic and dashing.

"Haha, Xiao Jing, you're exceptionally good looking in that outfit. I didn't find you this attractive before!" Zhou Hao blurted out.

Xiao Jing rolled her eyes, "Shut that witty mouth of yours, the situation is dire. I will go on patrol soon and I'll first arrange a place for you to stay!"

The frontlines must never be chaotic, if there were a crisis happening then it would also affect the support system.

The more they were pushed back, the harder it would be for them to escape.

Soon, Qin Feng and Zhou Hao were arranged to stay in a place further back from the frontlines. Two floating tanks were parked there with a tent set up in the middle, which became Qin Feng and Zhou Hao's temporary residence.

"You guys could make do with some food, and there's no need for you to keep vigil tonight. Tomorrow's the big siege!"

Xiao Jing gave some food to Qin Feng and Zhou Hao, though it was supposed to be a simple meal, what she gave them were all first rate ultra beast jerky.

"How are things looking now?"

"Not good."

Xiao Jing opened her communicator and passed the exact map location over to Qin Feng and Zhou Hao. "The Corpse Corps is getting closer to Chengyang City and has occupied three mountain tops. The occupied area resembles the word 'character', so the higher ups have coined these three mountains as Zimu Mountains.

There were already symbols marking the mountains, and not only that, there were also large and small colored dots. Among them, a dark-red dot was on the 'mother' mountain which was in the centre, representing an extreme degree of danger. The 'child' mountains were also in red, with the outermost one being orange.

This represented the numbers of the F tier and G tier ultra beasts respectively. The sizes of the dots represented strength. The huge dark-red dots represented the king-tier, but on the map, there seemed to be two of those king-tier dots.

Translator's note: The occupied area resembles the Chinese character 品, meaning 'character'. The name Zimu Mountains is directly translated from 子母山 meaning 'Child and Mother Mountains' as the 口 character resembles a mother with two children when stacked together.

Chapter 85: Late night visit to Zimu Mountains

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"There are approximately thirty thousand G-tier zombies, however, we only have five thousand aptitude users here, and the thousands of F-tier mutated zombies are even deadlier as it would be extremely difficult to deal with their high movement speed and distinct aptitude!"

Qin Feng frowned unwittingly.

Zhou Hao, mouth wide agape, asked, "How many F-tier aptitude users do we have here?"

Obviously, G-tier aptitude users were not of great importance in this situation, and higher tiers would be their only hope left. However, the answer from Xiao Jing left Zhou Hao disappointed.

"There are more than one hundred of them, from the joint forces of Chenyang and the 4th district, and requests for backup are now being sent to other districts!"

Xiao Jing also sighed heavily.

Qin Feng knew that it was already an incredible number!

Many of the F-tier aptitude users had now taken up multiple roles, with Xue Xingfu as an example, being the team leader of the patrol team that had to protect the safety of the colony, it would be impossible to expect the leader's presence here.

"What about E-tiers? Wouldn't it be an easy task for E-tier aptitude users to destroy these zombies?" Zhou Hao could not resist the urge to ask as he greatly sensed the unfavourable situation and had on a worried expression.

Xiao Jing nodded as it had finally come to a piece of good news. "There are approximately ten E-tier aptitude users now, our Chengbei Colony has mobilized deputy mayor Lin Zheng, and also director Deng Nian from the university, ahh, yes, you should know them as you are students from the university!"

"That's great, I thought that these monsters would invade into the Colony!" Zhou Hao felt relieved.

On the contrary, Qin Feng did not seem at all relieved by that particular news.

"What was with the black lights and the stable spatial passage earlier on?"

Xiao Jing let out another sigh unintentionally.

"I was about to mention this, the F-tier beast king that all of you are looking at now is not only the Emperor Knight that was seen earlier on, there is another extremely powerful Dark-Robed Ripper that is also an F-tier, it is able to open the spatial passage and release even more zombies, the number of zombies is now increasing daily!"

It was extremely taxing to open the passage externally, however, it could be easily opened from within.

Qin Feng had already figured out the root cause of all these, it was most probably caused by the giant beast that had lost one of its hands after being cut down by Xiao Bai.

He could have started by releasing the Dark-Robed Ripper, and used it to open the passage that had allowed monsters to enter.

Whereas the owner of the skeletal hand was either too powerful to enter, or perhaps it did not want to consume his own energy to travel through the spatial passage.

If he were to enter into the suppressed space, it could restrict his powers to that of below one ten thousandth.

"Well then, just kill the Dark-Robed Ripper!" Zhou Hao became impatient as he spoke.

Xiao Jing shook her head.

Qin Feng kept an emotionless expression. "If killing it were viable, what else do you think could possibly stop Liu Ba?"

Xiao Jing forced a smile and nodded. "Yes, the ten aptitude users that came earlier thought that they were capable of capturing the king and ignoring the pawns so they went straight up to the Zimu Mountains, however, they were attacked by the Dark-Robed Ripper and lost most of their combat power; with the presence of the Emperor Knight, four of them were heavily wounded, and now there are only a few E-tier ability users left!"

Zhou Hao who was just feeling slightly relieved earlier on felt that the situation had become dire once again.

As time passed by, most of the capable fighters had been eliminated by the enemy.

Qin Feng knew with certainty that the situation had become intense!

Dark-Robed Rippers were named after those man-like creatures that existed within the rift, this intellectual ethnic group was more horrifying than the others with their great abilities, which also explained how they got their name.

Their bodies were covered in blood that would absorb energy and persist through long periods of combat, and they would release dark abilities to attack their enemies.

They were the greatest enemy of the human race.

"What is the colony doing besides just observing? Are there any other plans?" Zhou Hao asked.

Xiao Jing replied, "The higher management did announce a battle plan, however it serves no purpose!"

Xiao Jing lowered her voice when she spoke as it would be better to keep a low profile when discussing such contents.

"The higher management has decided to install an internal space stabilizing device to prevent the rift from destroying internally. However, the zombies here all have to be killed before the installation, and as the colony does not have such internal capabilities to do so; hence, the situation now is at a deadlock!"

The space stabilizing device was a highly valuable device as presence of such a rift would pose a threat to every colony and the community that was within its range, and it was for this reason that the stabilizing devices were installed; and as time went by, the colony was gradually formed around the area to prevent others from destroying the device and also to ensure that it did not go to waste.

However, it was obvious that any colony that was formed would be situated on top of a volcano that might erupt at any time.

"Damn, how could that be!" Zhou Hao was angered by the inappropriate decision made by the authorities of the Chengyang area.

Qin Feng had sunk deep into his thoughts.

"In other words, they would still perform the attacks, have those aptitude users recovered?" Qing Feng asked.

Xiao Jing was surprised by Qin Feng's analysis and continued saying, "Yes, they have recovered from their wounds and will resume combat tomorrow, both of you must get enough rest and be extra careful during the combat tomorrow."

"I am heading back now, there is still stuff to be taken care of!"

Xiao Jing waved and left, while Qin Feng noticed the dark circles under Xiao Jing's eyes and realized that she had not gotten enough rest.

"We will also head back to rest, let's continue the combat tomorrow!"

"Alright!"

Both of them had been busy round the clock for two consecutive days to obtain the G-tier aptitude user badge, they were exhausted by the task, and Zhou Hao headed back to the tent to rest after he had his meal.

The night light shrouded the area as intense spotlights were turned on to light up the surroundings and prevent the Corpse Corps from closing in, while the garrison army was constantly guarding the area.

The wind at night was brisk, while the beastly roars from the zombies could still be heard once in a while.

Qin Feng who was sleeping in the tent opened his eyes.

He looked at his wrist and saw that it was already 10 o' clock!

Qin Feng woke up and headed out into the dark where nobody would notice his presence.

Qin Feng walked toward the left side of the Zimu Mountains, it was known as the Dazi Mountain, while the other smaller one was known as the Xiaozi Mountain.

Every flower and plant on the mountains had died and were black in color, it was this particular scenery that had added on to the spookiness of the surroundings. Qin Feng had only headed out for fifty meters but it felt as if he was a thousand miles away from the base, and it was like he had entered the mouth of a giant beast.

"It all started because of me, I will contribute as much as I can in this!"

Qin Feng walked into the mountain.

Night time was the most favoured time for the ultra beasts, the zombies would also gain extra combat power without the hateful sunlight.

Although the zombies might be strong, Qin Feng was stronger.

Being a dark ability user, Qin Feng also felt that the dark night was when he was able to conquer.

"Xiao Bai!"

Qin Feng lightly shrugged while Bai Li in her small fox form jumped down from his shoulder and landed on the ground, then it turned into a human being.

Moonlight shone upon her body, and she seemed like a beautiful fairy that had descended upon the world.

"Put on your clothes!" Qin Feng was rather frustrated as he said.

"The weather is not bad today, I shall wear this dress!" Bai Li was being picky with her choices as she finally took out a dress and put it on.

Qin Feng did have a lot to ask Bai Li but he did not ask earlier on as Zhou Hao and Xiao Jing were around.

"Xiao Bai, you dealt with the beast whose arm you broke, what is the probability of his appearance?"

Although Qin Feng knew that it would be difficult for powerful races to get into the area, he was still a little worried.

At the end of the day, it was an S-tier presence after all.

Bai Li shook her head. " It is impossible, the ability of the person is too powerful and there would be space restriction, which was why it was only able to extend one of its hands, and it was easily crushed by me!"

"That's great!" Qin Feng felt relieved.

Bai Li pouted and felt upset. "Master, I do think that you should not be here, the zombies and the broken arm giant beast share a similar aura, they are definitely here to capture you!"

Qin Feng had the same assumption and it became even more valid as it was brought up by Bai Li.

"This will prove that my assumption is right, the Dark-Robed Ripper works for the broken arm giant beast, along with the Emperor Knight, there might be chances of winning if both of us were to face against them!"

Qin Feng, being an extraordinary F-tier now, had an internal strength compression amount that was higher than normal human beings, combined with his physical strength, Qin Feng believed that he would be able to go up against a normal beast king by himself.

It was because he himself was also a beast king in the human form!

However, Bai Li did not show mercy as she said, "Master, you can't beat them."

Qin Feng pinched Bai Li's little nose.

"Why do you not have faith in me!"

"Master, you are still weak, but, it is okay, I can protect you, and help you escape!"

Bai Li did not mention defeating the both of them by herself, as she also lacked such powerful capabilities.

Qin Feng was speechless. "Let's go, you shall not act this time, and there will be no energy core for you!"

Qin Feng drew out his Verdant Emperor Saber and was ready for combat.

Bai Li could not understand why Qin Feng would deprive her of food but the energy cores from zombies were not that powerful, and she was not fond of them!

However, she still had the responsibility to remind her puny master.

"Master, stop heading in that direction, they must have received orders from that person to capture you, as soon as they have you, they will kill you and extract your ability core, and the Hell Stone will return to its owner, you must not seek your own death!"

"Can't you just have even the slightest faith in me?" Qin Feng was annoyed.

"The television taught us to be practical and realistic!"

Qin Feng was speechless once more, what had Bai Li been watching recently!

She needed more guidance!

However, Qin Feng had a sudden mischievous idea in his head.

"Xiao Bai, you shall address me as hubby from now on, and not master, as human beings would not address each other this way!" Qin Feng grinned as he said.

'Since you don't believe in me, I'm going to take advantage of you!'

"Oh. Alright, Master… eh, Hubby!" Bai Li nodded and suddenly her eyes widened. "Be careful!"

All of a sudden, a zombie appeared in the dark and came out from behind a giant tree while it roared and pounced toward Qin Feng.

Qin Feng waved the Verdant Emperor Saber in hand and slashed the zombie as if he was cutting a watermelon, the zombie that was about G5-tier was immediately slashed down by Qin Feng's saber.

When faced against such a zombie, it would only take one slash from Qin Feng to take it down.

"Alright, time to get serious, since I am still weak, I should be getting stronger, and not fall back, it's not like I have anywhere else to escape to."

Qin Feng became serious and was focused on killing the zombies.

Before he was reborn, Qin Feng had been through difficult times to battle his way through before he made it as an A-tier aptitude user.

Since things had become much smoother now, how could he be fearful of such a small hindrance.

If so, he would not be the Qin Feng that had survived through difficult times!

The zombie fell on the ground and Qin Feng continued to rush forward and cut off its skull with his saber, an energy core appeared from within.

"Absorb!"

The energy core shrunk in high speed and its energy disappeared within a split second.

"There is not much energy from these zombies!"

Qin Feng kicked away the zombie skull, and he blended in with the dark and continued to move forward.

Zombies that were lower-tier would roam around the outer areas, and as they moved to the inner part of the Dazi Mountain, the zombies would be of higher-tiers; soon, they would be able to see the mother mountain from afar behind the Dazi mountain.

Qin Feng knew that the Emperor Knight and the Dark-Robed Ripper were preying on the top of the mother mountain.

"No matter what, I will kill both of you!"

Qin Feng put on an austere expression.

Now that he had come out from the barrier of darkness and revealed himself, he was surrounded by F-tier zombies that had also felt the presence of a human being, and they immediately rushed toward Qin Feng without any hesitation.

"Roar!"

They could even hear the blood flowing within his veins and they could not wait to feast on their dinner.

"You shall die!"

The Verdant Emperor Saber was waved, while icy cold lights were reflected under the moonlight that shone upon it.

Poof!

A zombie skull flew up high as it was decapitated from a direct hit.

There were more zombies that came after it as Qin Feng landed a kick onto one of it and flipped over to slash two other zombies that were beside it.

"Roar!"

A zombie let out a roar and waved its palm toward Qin Feng's back.

Qin Feng turned around and waved his saber!

Poof poof poof poof!

All the four zombies that flanked Qin Feng were all decapitated.

In a split second, a total of seven F-tier zombies were hunted down by Qin Feng.

Qin Feng immediately felt a pleasant feeling throughout his body after cleaving the skulls and absorbing the energy cores from within.

It was the feeling of physical transformation.

F1-tier!

Qin Feng felt a huge transformation take place within his physical body.

"In my previous life, I was only able to achieve such physical capabilities by achieving E-tier, this shows that absorbing abilities has allowed my physical body to have the strength equivalent to ancient warriors that have gone through intensive parallel-training!"

With this thought in mind, Qin Feng could not resist the burning fire in his heart!

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, a black shadow dashed toward him at great speed!

Qin Feng reacted and swiftly ducked out of the way.

The shadow of the attacker blended into the dark surroundings.

"Army-tier!"

It was obviously an elite among the zombies.

The size of the beast soldier was slightly smaller than ordinary zombies, it had dull and dark coloured flesh that covered its dry bones, as if blood was burnt out from its body all of a sudden, and without any decayed parts on its body, it could move around at high speed.

Also, Qin Feng could clearly feel the black runes that were on its body.

Obviously, it was an assassin in the dark.

"This might work well with others but it has no effect on me!"

The army-tier dried corpse took advantage of the dark to hide itself, and it could be difficult for others to notice it. However, being a dark ability user himself, how could these tricks work on Qin Feng?

"Die!"

Qin Feng pursued further at great speed.

Once again, the army-tier dried corpse dodged and hid behind Qin Feng, thinking that he did not notice its actions, it raised up its dried palm and revealed its black sharp piercing nails.

Swoosh!

As its claw landed, the result was not as expected, where the enemy would die and become its food.

Ding!

The Verdant Emperor Saber clashed with the black nails and flashing lights immediately sparked from the impact.

Slash!

Qin Feng's Verdant Emperor Saber became swift and illusory as he slashed three consecutive times at incredible speed.

Triple slash!

Martial skill!

Crack!

The nails of the army-tier dried corpse cracked and broke off, while another slash that followed landed directly on its neck.

Poof!

A skull was tossed high up in the air.

The body of the army-tier dried corpse slightly trembled before it fell onto the ground and died completely!

Qin Feng drew up his Verdant Emperor Saber and halved the skull of the dried corpse, revealing the energy core that was within, it was double the size of the energy cores from the zombies that Qin Feng had encountered earlier on.

"Not bad!"

Qin Feng was very satisfied and quickly absorbed the energy core.

Then, Qin Feng continued the intensive slaughter, without him realizing it, time passed by quickly and it was already 3 o' clock early in the morning, and Qin Feng had managed to take down two hundred F-tier zombies!

With the progress that Qin Feng had, he could eliminate all of the zombies in the surroundings within a day.

It was impossible for any of the F-tier aptitude users to achieve this as they did not have the endless supply of physical energy, not to mention the limited amount of internal strength, it was only Qin Feng that had such a valiant capability.

However, when Qin Feng was about to continue on, a flow of horrifying energy rose from the ground.

Qin Feng immediately turned his head toward the direction from where it came!

He was actually already at the foot of the mother mountain, at such a close distance, he could clearly see through the dark, there was a channelling light that was darker than the surroundings rising up from the ground.

The dark light was projected upward and it was connected to the sky, forcefully destroying a section of the sky, and the intersection point had torn the space apart.

Powerful energy gushed toward the direction of the intersection and formed into a passage.

The silvery edge of the passage was clearly seen in the dark night.

It was a spatial rune that was being forcefully opened up.

"Dark-Robed Ripper!"

Qin Feng knew that the Dark-Robed Ripper had started taking action!

"Beep beep beep beep, alert! Alert…"

Qin Feng received a hasty alert from his communicator.

It was probably not only Qin Feng, everyone else that was close to the area would have received the alert.

However, Qin Feng was the closest in terms of distance.

Qin Feng noticed that after the main black beam had risen up, three of the surrounding black beams were missing. Also, the rift was slightly smaller than the one that was seen in the afternoon.

The smaller sized light beams might not be from the Dark-Robed Ripper, it was most probably its subordinates from the Corpse Corps that had been assisting him, where three of them were eliminated by the E-tier gunner.

However, the giant black beam along with five other accompanying smaller ones had still created a rift that should not be belittled.

Soon, batches of zombies rushed out from the passage, and most of them were black corpses, while some of them were bright red in color, as if their bones were ignited with fire.

General-tier fire corpse!

Qin Feng's face darkened as his effort throughout the night was not only wasted, it had even triggered a replenishment of an army that was even more powerful.

It was truly infuriating!

It was at that moment, a wild roar was heard from the horizons!

"Bastard!"

The roar was like a sudden clap of thunder, and a bomb then zipped across the sky.

Vroom vroom vroom!

From the attack, Qin Feng knew that it was Lu Heng, the E-tier gunner from Dongling colony!

However, the Corpse Corps seemed to be prepared as a steel spear was launched from the dark!

"Emperor Knight!"

Qin Feng was shocked as he looked up, he saw that the Emperor Knight was situated halfway up the slope, and the knight was only five hundred meters away from his position.

Qin Feng's face contorted.

"Shadow!"

Qin Feng immediately hid himself within the shadows and hoped that the Emperor Knight had not noticed him.

The long spear was aimed at the two bombs that were in the air, and the bombs exploded immediately.

"Change of course!"

Another roar was heard from a far-off distance and without any signs, a strong flow of will energy transmitted through and the bombs that were in the air changed their direction and were redirected back toward the black beams that were on top of the mountain.

The Emperor Knight not only had its spear, it was also equipped with a shield.

The war horse that it was riding on was like a spectre formed by black runes as it travelled at ghost speed and went faster than the bombs, even intersecting at a path up ahead that was along the course of the bombs.

Boom!

Suddenly, a strong explosion was heard and the spark had illuminated the entire mountain top!

The Emperor Knight that was protected by the powerful shield was not harmed at all.

"Damn! Let's see if you can take this!"

Lu Heng was extremely furious and started pelting bombs around the area but the Emperor Knight intersected every attempt of the bombings and his effort was all in vain.

Lu Heng would not be able to succeed in blocking on his own!

Qin Feng had already retreated to the foot of the mother mountain, he was near to the centre of the triangular positioned mountains, and the location was in a valley.

It was at that moment, a whistle was heard from afar, then, another silenced echo was heard from hundreds of meters away.

Qin Feng immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around, running at high speed!

After a hundred meters of running, he was able to see something on the ground.

It was the spear of the Emperor Knight.

The body of the spear was black while the head was a dull-blue color, it was shining with lights that were similar to stars in the sky; obviously, it was not any other ordinary equipment.

"It is star steel!"

Qin Feng had gained widespread knowledge before he was reborn but there were some things that he knew of but were not attainable by him!

Star steel was one of them.

"Xiao Bai, get that for me!" Qin Feng commanded immediately.

Xiao Bai hesitated and blinked, she said, "Mast… hubby, you will never get to use it even if you can get away with this spear because it has been bonded with the Emperor Knight!"

Therefore, upon being summoned by the Emperor Knight, it would immediately return to the hands of the knight.

However, he did not summon the spear when he was in battle with Lu Heng.

"Weapon spirit bond?" Qin Feng knew about such a special weapon but he did not expect an F-tier emperor to own such a precious weapon. "Well, can this bond travel through space?"

Weapon spirit bonds could be categorised into levels as well.

"It would be impossible for it to travel through my space!" Bai Li said confidently.

"Well that's good enough, take it, even though I might not be able to use it now. If I have to, I will break off one of its limbs, or maybe kill it, then I might be able to use it in the future!" Qin Feng replied.

Bai Li did not reject him this time and nodded, feeling that her master could be smart at certain times!

As soon as she raised her hand, the Emperor Spear was placed in her space, and the Emperor Knight immediately sensed it.

"Roar!!!"

The Emperor Knight let out a furious roar and gave up in protecting the Dark-Robed Ripper, he immediately rushed toward the location where Qin Feng was at.

"Xiao Bai! Run!"

Bai Li immediately disappeared along with Qin Feng and left no traces behind.

At the same time, Lu Heng that was at another end felt overjoyed at the unexpected turn of events.

Although it was uncertain why the Emperor Knight left, it was a once-in-a-blue-moon moment that he had been waiting for.

"Now die!"

Lu Heng let out a roar in anger, and triggered a series of bombings; without the presence of Liu Ba, Lu Heng was less apprehensive and went ahead in releasing firepower that tripled from those that were released in the afternoon.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Loud explosions were constantly heard as the mountain top was almost levelled by all the destruction.

The space passage was interrupted by the bombings and disconnected once again, while many of the Corpse Corps were ripped apart.

Corpse Corps that had just entered were being bombarded and heavily wounded by Lu Heng, however, the rift lasted for quite some time and some of the zombies had spread across to other areas.

Chapter 88: Only Made It Retreat?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Emperor Knight was frantically in search of something in the middle of the Zimu Mountains but turned up empty handed.

In a fit of rage, the knight leapt and charged toward the human's encampment.

As he came closer, the aptitude users' communicators vibrated in a violent manner.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

"Low-level aptitude users, leave immediately!"

"It's a King-tier, a King-tier is charging in!"

The camp descended into chaos.

At this juncture, a brilliant light appeared within the darkness.

"Great timing!"

An old-sounding yet powerful voice appeared. Innumerable amounts of runes exploded glaringly in the sky; turning the dark night into day.

The old but stout figure of a man emerged a hundred meters away from the camp.

"It's the Dean of Chengbei University, the light-elemental ability user, Dengnian!"

Dengnian was a light-elemental ability user. His power was tremendous, but so was his age.

He was the champion of Chengbei colony. His absence from the previous battle had caused quite a stir among Chengbei Colony. They were afraid that something had happened to him.

After all, there were creatures like the Ghoul Assassins in the Corpse Corp that could take Dengnian's life.

But now, as the Emperor Knight charged onward, Dengnian was delighted and sprung into action.

He released streaks of light turned into projectiles that aimed for the knight.

"Hahaha, so nice of you to be here, stay awhile!"

The E-tier ability users began fighting the Emperor Knight.

Bzzt!

Qin Feng's communicator went into a frenzied vibration.

It was Zhou Hao.

Qin Feng took the call.

"Madman! Where are you? Where did you go!"

"I went jogging!" Qin Feng just got his Starsteel Spear. He was joking around since he was in such a good mood.

"Well, don't come back to the camp just yet! The Emperor Knight is charging toward the foothills. I'll move your car, you be careful out there!"

"But I'm already back!"

Qin Feng did not think that Zhou Hao would actually believe his words. He thought that it was funny.

Any other person would have doubted Qin Feng, thinking that he ran off on his own!

Qin Feng strode toward his tent. Zhou Hao had tied up the ropes and was ready to push Qin Feng's car away. He was looking around and saw Qin Feng walking toward him. He hastily waved his hand.

"Run now, or we won't even know how we died!" Zhou Hao started the engine.

Qin Feng and Bai Li went in the hover car. She followed him into the car without changing back her appearance.

Although Qin Feng was able to lure the Emperor Knight down the foothills and caused a commotion while he was at it, it was still a good move given the whole situation. It was now up to the E-tier aptitude users to do their jobs.

The battle started from three in the morning and was still ongoing at the break of dawn. The encampment they had set up had been reduced into rubble.

"Listen, it's quiet now!"

"Have they finished the fight?"

"How does it look ahead?"

They were anxious to know.

Qin Feng was still taking a wink in his hover car. Although his power had increased overnight, he would never forget to train. Now that there were no more ancient warriors for him to hunt down, he was working hard on his internal qigong to prevent his internal forces from dropping.

At that moment, there was a knock coming from his car window.

"Qin Feng, come out for a while!" There was a hint of joy in Zhou Hao's voice.

Qin Feng did not know what had happened but he still opened the door.

"What's up?"

"Haha, look, I've gathered our party members!"

Qin Feng noticed that there were people around Zhou Hao. It was Li Yaoyao and Lu Meng.

Not only that, there was a G-tier symbol in front of Lu Meng's chest. She had also become an aptitude user.

"Qin Feng, you're finally here!" Lu Meng was overjoyed. "Yaoyao said that she saw you in campus last time. We haven't seen you for the past few days!"

"Mengmeng!" Li Yaoyao shyly nudged Lu Meng. Although she had good feelings toward Qin Feng, she was still a reserved girl.

"I don't really go for classes." Qin Feng answered calmly.

"I guess with your abilities, you won't even need to attend classes. Even your friend is now a G-tier aptitude user!" said Lu Meng. She glanced at Zhou Hao with a tinge of jealousy.

This little man was a year younger than her, he was even her junior, yet he was already a certified G-tier aptitude user.

Indeed, she had spent a considerable amount of money to get all the help she needed to kill two hundred ultra beasts to become a certified G-tier aptitude user.

Zhou Hao was a little unhappy. "I went through the G-tier test on my own. Who knows how many ultra beasts I've killed!"

"Are you saying I was cheating? Junior, are you still thinking about hanging around in our school? Don't you know how great Big Sis Mengmeng is in the school?" Lu Meng chided with both hands on her waist.

Zhou Hao almost broke into laughter. He was one point eight meters tall, and Lu Meng was about one point five. Her height was only up to his chest, how could she call herself Big Sis Mengmeng?

They were about to get into an argument when Qin Feng interrupted them. "Have they finished the fight? What's the outcome?"

Both of them stopped quarrelling after Qin Feng's interjection. Finally, Li Yaoyao had a chance to join in on the conversation.

"They're done fighting, the E-tier fighters have made the Emperor Knight retreat!"

Qin Feng furrowed his brows. "They didn't kill it?"

"How could they! That knight has a shield that is probably equivalent to a golden runic gear. It could even block out Dean Dengnian's light projectiles. It was like a group of people beating up a tortoise."

Qin Feng was speechless when he heard this.

These people were trash!

The Emperor Knight's main battle skill was his defenses. Qin Feng was immediately reminded of the Starsteel Spear that had been stored away by Xiao Bai.

How he wished to have that gun for his own.

"Qin Feng, why don't you join us for the day!" Li Yaoyao proposed.

Qin Feng's thought was interrupted, yet he shrugged decisively.

"Did they change the battle plans today?" he asked.

Too many F-tiered zombies had appeared last night, as well as the Ghoul Assassins and Burning Ghouls. Qin Feng felt that if he were to continue to conceal his real powers, there would be no end to the killing.

If they were not killed off completely, the dark runes on their bodies would spread uncontrollably.

The day was already bright. They could see the dark clouds gathering on top of the Zimu Mountains. It seemed to be spreading wider.

They could still afford to wait but not the frail children in the orphanage.

"They haven't updated it!" said Zhou Hao.

As soon as he finished speaking, they saw a drone turn back. All of their communicators beeped in unison shortly after that.

The map had been updated.

Qin Feng looked at their faces. Their expressions were grim.

As expected, a bigger threat had appeared!

After the spatial rift had been opened up last night, approximately two thousand F-tier zombies managed to slip in while they were fighting the Emperor Knight. Their original camp was destroyed and had to be moved further back!

"Zhou Hao, you should join them today. I'll be heading to Zone F!" said Qin Feng.

"Umm, alright!" Zhou Hao nodded. He was aware of Qin Feng's true power. He must have his own reason for being confident about going to Zone F.

Chapter 89: The Male Idol of the Campus

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, that confidence he had was not enough to persuade Li Yaoyao and Lu Meng.

"Qin Feng, you're going to Zone F? It's too dangerous out there!" Li Yaoyao tried to talk him out of going. Even if Qin Feng were powerful, there was now way he could be that great.

Lu Meng was obviously skeptical as well.

"Qin Feng, do you really plan on going? Maybe I can give you a laser cannon or something!" said Lu Meng.

Qin Feng smiled gently.

"Thanks, but that won't be necessary!" Qin Feng knocked on the car door. "Xiao… Li, come out now!"

Bai Li did not turn back to her own self last night, and Li Yaoyao had only seen her in her fox form. She knew that it was called Xiao Bai, so Qin Feng had to change his way of addressing her as caution.

Pa-tak! The hover car door opened up. A long-haired girl walked out from the car.

The girl had long, silky smooth hair that glittered in a silvery hue. Her face was refined and petite, about the size of a palm. Her foxy eyes could hook a soul, yet they carried a hint of innocence. She had a tiny nose. Her cherry-red lips were supple.

She was wearing a colorful bohemian dress and a sunhat. She looked more like a tourist than someone who was going to war.

As soon as she stepped out of the car, she locked onto Qin Feng. She greeted him with a smile.

"Hubby, do you think I look good in this dress?"

Qin Feng turned stiff. At this moment, he regretted playing the prank on her yesterday.

Zhou Hao looked at Qin Feng in disbelief. His eyes were filled with accusations. "Madman, you animal! How could you do this to Xiao Bai."

Li Yaoyao and Lu Meng were both in shock as well.

"Alright, let's go!" Qin Feng quickly grabbed her and took her away.

He could not care less about how other people looked at him, but Zhou Hao's eyes made him flustered and red in the face.

He felt guilty, like a man who had kidnapped a young girl!

To think about it, Xiao Bai was only born about a month ago, she was technically still a baby!

"Come on!" Bai Li went to Qin Feng's side. She puckered her lips in protest. "My shoes are uncomfortable, why don't you carry me!"

Qin Feng was helpless. He had always carried her on his shoulder so she did not walk much, and she had become lazier. She knew that she was going to the battlefield but she was not allowed to fight. She would rather Qin Feng carry her.

"Come on!" Qin Feng had to squat down. Bai Li wrapped her hands around Qin Feng's neck before he carried her into the wilderness.

At this moment, Qin Feng had already attracted quite a crowd, especially since he was carrying a beautiful young lady around.

"Qin Feng!" Li Yaoyao went ahead to chase after him but he was too fast. He appeared to be using his internal force. Li, as a water-elemental aptitude user, was unable to catch up to him.

For a moment, there was a sense of jealousy within Li Yaoyao's disappointment. She was in a bad mood.

She had no place to vent her frustrations and saw Zhou Hao, who was still looking at Qin Feng. His face was filled with disapproval. She could not help but chided, "Junior Zhou, are you just going to leave him be? It's dangerous enough for him to go into the wilderness, but to take a girl along with him, don't you think it would be more dangerous?"

Zhou Hao waved his hands hastily. "They're not in danger!"

She was a powerful beast king! She could take away the bat king's Bloodcatarrh Fruit single-handedly. That was how powerful she was.

Li Yaoyao protested," Look at how she is dressed. The girl probably doesn't know how to battle. Wouldn't she just tie Qin Feng down?"

Zhou Hao's eyes went blank. Now, he realized that Li Yaoyao was not concerned about Bai Li. She was more concerned about Qin Feng.

"Why do I smell jealousy?"

Lu Meng elbowed Zhou Hao in the gut. "Watch your mouth, Junior Zhou. Don't say anything that you're not supposed to!"

Lu Meng gave Zhou Hao a warning look.

Li Yaoyao felt embarrassed. Her eyes went red for a moment.

Right at this time, a person approached them and saw Li Yaoyao and Lu Meng.

"We're going to restructure our teams soon. I heard that your previous team got disbanded, why don't you join us?" A gentle voice sounded.

Their eyes lit up when they looked at the approaching man.

He was a six-footer that did not appear to be exceptionally strong but he was gentle and elegant. A pair of gold-framed spectacles made him look scholarly.

"Senior Gao! I… I can?" Li Yaoyao was nervous.

The man in front of them was the male idol of Chengbei University. He was the most powerful one amongst the Year 3 students, Gao Lingfeng.

He was a wind-elemental aptitude user with astounding capabilities. Although he was still studying in the campus, it was said that his abilities had reached F-tier. If he were to agree to it he might become a teacher there.

"Of course, that's why we're here!" Gao Lingfeng revealed a gentle smile.

Li Yaoyao was very excited.

Gao Lingfeng possessed very powerful capabilities. If she were to fight alongside him, she would surely reap a high reward, be it in the loots or her contribution to the battle.

"But…" Li Yaoyao glanced at Lu Meng beside her.

The teams were formed by grouping the students according to their years so that they could look out for each other in the wilderness. At first, Li Yaoyao and Lu Meng were on the same team as Wang Kai, Jiang Wenxuan, and Yuhai.

But a month ago, the five-man team disbanded after they had encountered some trouble in the wilderness.

Now that there was a new mission assignment, Lu Meng would be left alone if Li Yaoyao were to quit the party.

"Yaoyao, what are you still waiting for, go now! It's a great opportunity and you'd regret it if you don't join!" Lu Meng immediately whispered. Gao Lingfeng could actually hear her. There was still a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, but his eyes had traces of a scheming mind.

"Lu Meng can also come with us!"

She quickly waved her hands. "Oh no, I've still got matters to attend to. You guys better get moving!"

Gao Lingfeng's smile turned stiff.

"Alright then, you be careful now, Mengmeng." Li Yaoyao made up her mind and went toward Gao Lingfeng.

She accepted Gao's invitation because she herself was rejected by Qin Feng. Li Yaoyao felt a smug release now that Gao Lingfeng came to invite her personally.

"Hmph, that ungrateful Qin Feng, I'll ignore him from now on!"

There were words hanging by Gao's lips, but after seeing Li Yaoyao's expression and Lu Meng's 'go for it!' hand gesture, he gave up inviting her again and left with Li Yaoyao.

Only Lu Meng and Zhou Hao were left.

"Junior Zhou, why don't you come with me. I'll protect you! Or the zombies will surely eat up your tiny frame!" Lu Meng boasted.

Zhou Hao was speechless. "I wonder who they will really eat up! Forget it, since you're pretty cute, I'll lend you a hand!"

Zhou Hao did not know anyone else so he formed a group with Lu Meng.

Qin Feng had no idea what happened as he had brought Bai Li away from the gaze of the crowd and had once again stepped into the battlefield.

The dead trees provided cover for them to vanish from the eyes of the public.

Amidst the great mountains, the tiny human beings appeared non-existent

"As expected, there are more of them today!"

As Qin Feng sensed the increased presence of the F-tier zombies, he became enraged.

"Kill!" There was no hesitation in him. He started to slay away.

He soon killed all the zombies that were surrounding him.

Bai Li was wielding a dagger. With reluctance, she collected the energy cores from the zombies' head and placed them in a combat backpack.

Qin Feng slaughtered away and was able to finish off all the F-tier zombies in the surrounding area in just one hour.

"Let's go deeper!"

He did not feel tired since he had the absorption skill. He could sustain in combat longer than anyone else. Even though the zombies provided very minimal energy, it was enough for him to recover!

However, as he went closer to the mother mountain, the Corpse Corps became even more menacing.

Suddenly, a person in black robe came into sight.

He was taken aback and quickly hid behind a large, dead tree.

'Is that the Dark-Robed Ripper?' A thought flashed across Qin Feng's mind.

However, he did not sense the aura of a beast king. He did not even sense danger.

He carefully observed the situation once again. He noticed that although this dark-robed entity was strong, its surrounding aura was only at the level of a beast general.

"Hang on, could it be the Dark-Robed Ripper's assistant?"

When Qin Feng first arrived at the encampment, he saw the Dark-Robed Ripper channeling dark energy pillars. There were eight other energy pillars that were supplementing it that made the spatial passage twice its size!

But on the other night, only five dark pillars appeared. It was either because these dark-robed entities needed to recuperate or they were finished off by an E-tier gunner.

The Corpse Corps obviously needed no rest, so the second scenario was the only possibility.

'That means that these dark-robed entities are not as strong as we thought!'

Strong or not, Qin Feng decided to test it out.

He started to approach the dark-robed entity silently.

"Shadow Cloaking!"

Qin Feng melded into the shadows and quickly reached behind the dark-robed entity.

They were only ten meters apart.

Suddenly, the dark-robed entity turned around.

Its hood was facing Qin Feng. Qin Feng could immediately witness a horrific scene.

It was actually a black skeleton underneath the dark robe. Within the eye sockets of the skull were a pair of eyes lit up in emerald flame.

Luckily, Qin Feng was unfazed. When he saw that the dark-robed skeleton had seen him, he charged ahead without hesitation.

"Die!"

The Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand made a perfect arc.

At that moment, the dark-robed skeleton raised its finger and launched a dark beam at Qin Feng.

Bzzt!

The beam landed on Qin Feng's body.

He could clearly sense that it was an ability that belonged to the dark runes. Its ability was to lower the body's vitality and make them feel weak. From there, illness would come in, followed by death.

However, Qin Feng had the dark stone that made him immune to any dark abilities. His enemy's ability had no effect on him.

Clang!

His Verdant Emperor Saber landed on the skeleton's neck, producing a metallic clang.

The dark-robed skeleton realized that its dark abilities were useless against Qin Feng. It reached out its skeleton hands and wanted to grab Qin Feng.

Qin Feng dodged to the side. He had quite a scare when he saw the darkened finger brushing past his side.

That finger was infectious. Those who were scratched by it would turn into a zombie.

"Another slash!"

Qin Feng raised his saber once again and started to slash at his enemy endlessly.

"The Verdant Emperor Saber can't cut its skull!"

Qin Feng was agitated. Even though it was a good weapon, it was still made using F-tier materials. The weapon could no longer keep up with him.

Bzzt!

Another beam shot out from the dark-robed skeleton's finger. Qin Feng evaded it and the dark beam hit the dead tree behind him.

Poof!

The large, dead tree instantly turned into ashes.

Qin Feng was shaken but he did not show it on his face. He raised his hand as well.

"Do you think you're the only one who knows how to use abilities?"

Triggering his consciousness, thousands of flame runes emerged on top of the flaming starglobe right next to the diamond starglobe.

"Hellfire!"

Flames were hurled out from Qin Feng's hand, hitting the dark-robed entity.

It was like an oil barrel had been ignited, erupting into a fiery explosion. The skeleton's robe burnt furiously.

"Arghhh!" The dark-robed skeleton wailed in agony. The soul fire within its skull pulsated frantically, demonstrating its pain.

The zombies were afraid of light. They were also afraid of fire as well!

Especially Qin Feng's flame that carried dark runes. It could also burn away soul energy. Even the dark-robed skeleton was not spared.

Qin Feng seized the chance and launched multiple attacks.

Ka-chak!

Finally, the dark-robed skeleton's neck was severed. The skeleton collapsed in scattered pieces.

At this moment, Qin Feng could clearly sense that his absorption ability was throbbing. Immediately after that, the soul fire within the eye sockets of the skull that had not quite vanished completely was forcefully pulled out. It turned into an energy that melded into Qin Feng's body.

Qin Feng could feel that his consciousness was rapidly increasing!

"Killing the dark-robed skeleton had actually increased my consciousness level?"

Not only that, the increase in consciousness was no lower than the time he killed He Li.

He could also sense the increase in his level of consciousness. When he absorbed He Li's consciousness, his consciousness level was at G5. But now, his consciousness level had increased tremendously to about G7.

"What a wish come true!" Qin Feng smiled joyfully. After collecting the spoils of war, he once again went in search of dark-robed skeletons.

While Qin Feng was slaughtering away here, in Chengyang city where the aptitude users of the five great areas had come together, some of the most powerful people in Chengbei colony were gathered inside an armored car.

The armored car was like a trailer. There was a room inside. There were screens hanging on the wall and the images on the displays kept changing.

They were images from the recon drones.

Other than the guards, there were four other people who were all E-tier aptitude users.

E-tier light elemental ability user, the Dean of Chengbei University—Deng Nian.

E-tier ancient warrior, Deputy Mayor of Chengbei Colony—Lin Zheng.

E-tier gunner, Commander of Chengbei Colony garrison troop—Han Jian.

E-tier beastmaster, Commander of the Wilderness Rangers of Chengbei Colony—Yang Sanhu.

Each of these four people could stomp their feet and the whole of Chengbei Colony would feel the quake.

But now, all four of them were troubled.

"It's looking bad!" Yang Sanhu said in a low voice as he glanced at the display. He spent most of his time in the wilderness. The mortality rate of the rangers was always on the rise but that had also trained his fiery pair of eyes.

Just one glance and he could assess that they were in a dire situation.

But then again, if the situation was great, they would not be sent here.

Chapter 91: The Attention of the Colony's Higher Ups

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The battle that had waged on last night as well as the spatial passage that was opened up for quite some time had resulted in the large increase of the Corpse Corps. Chengyang city once again requested for reinforcements from the large colonies.

Even the commanders of the garrison army and the wilderness rangers had been moved to the frontlines.

There were now at least sixteen E-tier aptitude users in the frontlines.

"I've become old!" Deng Nian sighed.

Last night was a rare chance. How could he let the Emperor Knight escape!

It really left Deng Nian in distraught.

"Hmph, what a useless bunch of people!" Lin Zheng exclaimed in a grim manner. The colonies were disunited. They were afraid of getting injured and their teamwork was lacking.

It was the reason why their plan to surround the Emperor Knight had failed.

Not only that, Lin Zheng was wounded.

It was really enraging.

Beep beep beep!

There was a beep from the device. A map had been refreshed.

"Huh!"

Yang Sanhu turned his head and looked at the map with furrowed brows.

"Show me the same map from three hours ago!" Yang Sanhu said.

The operator immediately opened up the map from three hours ago. There were obviously more red blips compared to the one now.

Especially in a certain area.

"There are two hundred less F-tier zombies. Did an army go in for the kill?" Yang Sanhu asked in confusion. Two hundred zombies were not that many, but it was odd for two hundred zombies to suddenly disappear from one place. Moreover, they were F-tier zombies.

There were also a bunch of G-tier zombies in the surroundings. It would be difficult to suddenly barge into the Zimu Mountains.

"Get the drones to feed images from this area!" ordered Yang Sanhu.

After that, the drone circled around and was able to pinpoint Qin Feng who was still in combat.

Behind the Dazi Mountain, Qin Feng's Verdant Emperor Sabber was like the scythe of a Grim Reaper, harvesting the lives of his enemies.

"The third one!"

"Die!!!"

As he slashed away with his saber, the third dark-robed skeleton had perished in Qin Feng's hands.

Its consciousness melded into Qin Feng's body rapidly. His power was increasing by leaps and bounds.

At this moment, Qin Feng could feel everything around him with great clarity. His consciousness had permeated hundreds of meters and he could 'see' everything around him clearly.

Not only that, the elemental core of the diamond starglobe was revolving endlessly. The brilliant elemental particles within it started to vibrate before turning into a whole new form.

A new combination that was previously unknown and could not be understood had turned into a whole new ability!

"Dark beam!"

The new ability that Qin Feng had learnt was the same ability that the dark-robed entity had used against him.

It was probably because the dark-robed entities had used this ability multiple times against him. His body and consciousness were able to recall this ability.

However, the ability was not too helpful given his situation.

Qin Feng was immune to the dark beam but at the same time, the Corpse Corps that were made up of zombies were also immune to it.

"Perhaps, can this ability be changed into a fire ability?"

As he thought about this, he started to recollect his consciousness. He was able to quite fortunately discover a fire version of this ability in the fire elemental core.

This meant that Qin Feng now possessed another fire ability, the fire beam!

As Qin Feng became excited of the prospect of testing it out, he sensed something from his consciousness. He unwittingly looked up and saw the unmanned drone flying above him.

He frowned at the sight of the drone.

His strong consciousness meant that he was able to discern that the unmanned drone was pointed at him. Not only that, the drone was taking only images of him even though it was circling the area.

Did he cause a ruckus by killing too many enemies?

Still, Qin Feng had no intention of hiding his kills. He was also recording his own kills that could be used to exchange for rewards.

However, it was probably best for him not to reveal any abilities!

Qin Feng ignored the drone and set forth once again in search of the dark-robed skeletons within the Corpse Corps.

Within the commanding car, Yang Sanhu and the others had turned their attention completely to Qin Feng.

"It's him!" Han Jian called out unexpectedly.

"You know this guy? Who is he? From which colony?" Yang Sanhu quickly asked.

The ability that Qin Feng had demonstrated was really startling.

Even an F-tier mercenary squad had to hunt in packs. They also had to be cautious while moving so that they would not be surrounded by the zombies.

In a stark contrast, Qin Feng was strutting away as if he wanted the zombies to come for him!

"He's from our Chengbei Colony, but he should not be this powerful. With his capabilities, he should be at least an F-tier by now, but…" Han Jian was hesitant to continue.

The rest of the people had actually turned their attention to him.

"But what?" asked Yang Sanhu.

Han Jian shrugged. He could not believe it himself.

"This person is called Qin Feng. He's sixteen years old this year. He has just been injected with the awakening serum recently. A fortnight ago he made some huge achievements in the plantations!"

"Only sixteen?" Yang Sanhu was shocked.

Even Deng Nian's and Lin Zheng's hearts skipped a beat.

Youth meant potential!

It would be great if they could get someone like him under them.

Of course there were disadvantages as well. Someone with his potential could become a threat.

"You're saying that this person is called Qin Feng?" Lin Zheng furrowed his brows. He felt that the name sounded familiar.

Deng Nian, too, was surprised.

He had seen the student's name list this year, and of course he had special care toward the ability users. There were only twenty names on the list. As an E-tier ability user, Deng Nian had astounding consciousness. His memory was almost photographic. He recalled that there was really someone named Qin Feng in the new ability user class.

Could it be a coincidence?

Han Jian who was now looking at the monitors let out a sigh.

"That should be him. It really is him. Who knew that he would have so much growth in such a short period of time. Wang Cheng and I previously tried to recruit him into the garrison and the Tiger Flame Troop but he rejected us. Said he wanted to enrol in Chengbei University. Old Deng, is this true? Don't keep this a secret now!"

Deng Nian laughed at his words.

"Should be, he's a student in our ability user class!"

For a moment there, Deng Nian was proud.

After all, such a high-potential student was hard to come by. Moreover, he had rejected the other two commanders and enlisted himself in the university instead. That made him exceptionally delighted.

"What a great seedling!" Deng Nian exclaimed. The more he saw the more satisfied he became.

On the other hand, Lin Zheng's expression was grim. There was viciousness in his eyes.

He finally recalled who this Qin Feng was!

A few days ago, Jiang Shaoyang had mysteriously disappeared after pursuing a dark martial artist. Lin Zheng's Eagle Clubhouse was even investigated as a result. That made him suffer quite a huge loss.

Was that dark martial artist not Qin Feng? Even the descriptions matched.

'Previously, I never would've guessed that this was the person who had killed Jiang Shaoyang. Now that I see it, how could it be impossible. He's really got the capability of an F-tier!'

Engrossed in his thoughts, Lin Zheng could not wait to finish Qin Feng off!

Chapter 92: Leaderboard

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, there were too many people there, and Qin Feng was gaining attention. To kill him now would obviously be impractical. Old man Dengnian was now considered Qin Feng's ally.

Lin Zheng had to put his thoughts on hold.

Qin Feng did not realize that someone was plotting to murder him. He had been killing zombies until his hands were numb.

A day's worth of work only turned up to be about five hundred dead zombies. For the zombies' population that had multiplied by two, his effort was only enough to slow them down. Unless the Dark-Robed Ripper was unable to open up the spatial passage again.

But then again, that was only an unreasonable hope of the human beings.

When evening came, the dark-robed entities once again stood on top of the mountain peak and opened up the spatial passage.

Nobody knew what would happen when the rift was opened. Therefore, Qin Feng did not stay around to find out.

Since there were more reinforcements coming into Chengyang city, the Dark-Robed Ripper was forced to close down the spatial passage after being encircled by the E-tier elites. The number of Corpse Corps that was released was not that much.

As night fell, Qin Feng no longer did anything that would attract the attention of others. He went back to base.

They were tallying up the results of the battle in the middle of the newly established base.

First place: Zhao Yu Xin (Team), Results: 1238 points, Accumulated Total: 5189

Second place: Hou Rui (Team), Results: 1134 points, Accumulated Total: 4811

Third place: Gao Lingfeng (Team), Results: 1089 points, Accumulated Total: 4790

Fourth place: …

Interestingly enough, these hall of famers were the pride and joy of the universities. They were teams made up of young prodigies.

"Today we've earned more than a thousand points in contribution. Yang Zhaofa gets two hundred while the rest of the team members get a hundred. Any disputes?" asked Gao Lingfeng.

Yang Zhaofa was the team's ancient warrior. His battle skill was only second to Gao Lingfeng. No one would disagree if he were to get more points.

"None!"

"None!"

"Senior, there's no need to give me points. I don't think I've contributed much!" Li Yaoyao was a bit embarrassed.

"Why not, your water-elemental healing ability was pretty useful, else I wouldn't be able to sustain such a long combat today!" Yang interjected.

Although Li Yaoyao was not the strongest among the Year 2 students, she specialized in healing abilities. That was why Gao Lingfeng decided to pull her in.

"That's right, do you want your senior to go back on his words?"

"I didn't mean to, Senior!" Li Yaoyao was slightly abashed. She could not reject Gao.

Later on, they exchanged some items with their battle points. Li Yaoyao exchanged her points for a water-elemental ability core that could not only absorb runes with machinery, but it could also be used to refresh her skills in critical moments.

A hundred points equaled to ten thousand coins. Including the bonus division from the energy cores, Li Yaoyao had earned almost three hundred thousand coins. This made her overjoyed.

At this moment, however, she saw Qin Feng in the crowd from a distance.

Or more accurately, Bai Li was too distinctive. Even if she were to wear a brown-colored shade, people would still ogle at her to scale her beauty.

Qin Feng slightly furrowed his brows and hurriedly led Xiao Bai through the crowd.

"I'm so hungry!" Bai Li tugged on Qin Feng's arm and slumped fraily on him.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you some of those energy cores tomorrow!" Qin Feng consoled her.

Bai Li answered with reluctance. "I don't want those, they're not delicious!"

Bai Li was behaving more like a human being now. She was not that picky when she was still a cub.

"I'll buy you a beast king core later!"

Bai Li's eyes lit up.

Qin Feng smiled in a spoiling manner.

The two's intimate interaction made Li Yaoyao gloomy.

"Qin Feng!"

Li Yaoyao shouted.

Qin Feng only noticed her then. He then looked at her surroundings and incidentally saw Gao Lingfeng as well.

This young man was an F-tier as well. Looks like he was a prodigy.

"Senior!"

Qin Feng nodded in a polite and distant manner!

No one could guess what Li Yaoyao was thinking from her expression. Somehow, she felt like giving Qin Feng a lesson so that he would not be so haughty.

"Qin Feng, let me introduce you to him, this is our Year 3 senior, our number one guy from Chengbei University, Senior Gao Lingfeng!" said Li Yaoyao.

Gao smiled coldly for a while before saying, "Don't say that, what number one guy, those are merely other people's words!"

"Come on, you are the most powerful person in our school! You've always gotten the first place in any test, nothing is too difficult for you!" Li Yaoyao said admiringly.

Gao Lingfeng smiled lightly. He then looked at Qin Feng.

"If you need any help, you can always look for me!" said Gao Lingfeng.

Qin Feng took a glance at Gao. He nodded. "Yes, Senior!"

Gao Lingfeng was just being modest, and Qin Feng merely followed suit. He would never look for his help.

At that moment, Gao Lingfeng set his sights upon Bai Li and asked curiously. "Is she a Year 1 student from our school?"

Seeing them mentioning her, Bai Li remembered Qin Feng's order last time and said in a natural manner," I am Qin Feng's girlfriend, he is my boyfriend!"

Gao Lingfeng's warm and gentle demeanor turned stiff.

Li Yaoyao's heart was filled with contempt.

"Wow, you sure have a great relationship with your girlfriend, bringing her to battle ultra beasts like that!" Gao was being slightly sarcastic.

"It's alright!" Qin Feng was not planning on wasting any more time. The sky had turned dark, more and more people were queuing up to assess their battle scores.

"Seniors, I'll go get assessed first, please carry on!"

Qin Feng did not wait for a reply before heading to the assessment area.

Somehow, Li Yaoyao and Gao Lingfeng lingered there.

After handing in his recording, the assessment was completed in less than one minute.

"Beep! Beep! Assessment complete. Your current battle point is: 5671 points!"

In the open battle this time around, one G-tier zombie would net 1 point, an F-tier would net 10 points. There were higher scores for beast soldiers and generals. It was completely normal for Qin Feng to earn five to six thousand points a day.

Instantly, Qin Feng became the number one person on the leaderboard.

Leaderboard, First Place: Qin Feng (Individual), Results: 5671 points, Accumulated Total: 5671.

In the blink of an eye, the people who were watching the leaderboard called out in disbelief.

"Qin Feng, who is Qin Feng?"

"An individual with five thousand over battle points, how is that possible?"

"His accumulated total is over five thousand points, did he only come today? So many points in just one day?"

"Is he some powerful guy from other regions? He must be at least an E-tier!"

The crowd was buzzing. Gao Lingfeng and Li Yaoyao naturally heard them all. Their expressions changed.

They were both in disbelief.

Qin Feng left the assessment area and was headed for the point exchange area.

Li Yaoyao looked at Qin Feng in a puzzled manner as she called after him.

"Qin Feng, how many battle points did you receive in the assessment just now?"

Li Yaoyao was praying in her heart that it was not an individual effort, that the name just now was merely a coincidence.

Chapter 93: Even the Male Idol gets Crushed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yaoyao could not believe it. No matter how strong Qin Feng was, it would be impossible for him to obtain five thousand battle points. How many ghouls did you have to kill to get that?

"About five thousand over!" Qin Feng answered naturally.

At this moment, Gao Lingfeng's expressions became dejected.

"Junior, did you use any illegal means to cheat the system? You've just entered the university, you shouldn't do something like that to gain these trivial profits. You're doing a disservice to our Chengbei University!"

If it were others, Gao would have believed it.

But who was Qin Feng? He was just a new year one student who brought his beautiful girlfriend out in the battle. It was impossible to get such a result. They were probably having a good time in places where there were no ultra beasts.

There must be a mistake with the system.

Qin Feng frowned for a moment. Everyone around them was looking at Qin Feng. They've also heard their conversations. They knew the person in the leaderboard was him.

But Qin Feng's youthful face and his G-tier badge made them doubtful.

How could he have killed so many ultra beasts?

After a brief moment, the crowd started pointing fingers at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng frowned even more. It was the familiar situation during the rat infestation in the plantations as well.

Some of them could not accept the facts. The impact was too shocking.

But that's the point of Qin Feng: to give them a good shock.

Before Qin Feng could explain himself, a commotion erupted among the crowds. The people started to make way as if an important guest had appeared.

After the crowd had made way, Dengnian and Han Jian walked in front. There were guards all around them who were controlling the guards to ensure nothing stands in their paath.

Dengnian walked toward Qin Feng. Li Yaoyao and Gao Lingfeng had also noticed his presence.

"Principal!"

"Principal!"

The two of them hurriedly greeted him.

Qin Feng was contemplating whether to greet him as well since he was now a student of the university.

But before he could speak, Dengnian had revealed a gentle smile. He gave Qin Feng a pat on the back.

"Qin Feng, you've done well making a name for the university!" Dengnian was impressed with Qin Feng.

Hearing this, a streak of lightning ran across Qin Feng's mind. He remembered the unmanned drone that was circling above.

Maybe he had found out during then!

Of course, slaying away like that, how could they not see it!

Qin Feng did not try to hide. "It's my duty!"

"Haha, good!" Dengnian laughed crackingly.

By now, Han Jian had also come forward. There were smiles in his expressions.

"Qin Feng, do you remember me?"

Of course Qin Feng would never forget him.

"General Han!" Qin Feng nodded at him.

"Hehe, with your accomplishments, you could become a lieutenant general. What are you doing in school? Join the reserve army!" Once again, Han Jian attempted to recruit him.

"Old Han, how could you? Taking away my men in front of me!"

"Haha, that still depends on Qin Feng's will!"

That was a huge temptation, did you know what becoming a lieutenant general means?

Within the whole of Chengbei Colony, even Xue Xingfu, He Li, and Jiang Shaoyang, who was an official with the Eagle Club couldn't come close to his position. He would only be second to Han Jian.

But Qin Feng had the strength to carry that role. He was no longer the helpless young man who had just been reborned. He was slowly turning back into the king of mercenaries of his past life. Only his true powers had yet to recover.

However, the role wasn't attractive enough to Qin Feng.

"I still prefer to study properly, thank you for your good intentions!"

"What a pity!" Han Jian was disappointed once again. Still, he continued," We'll do it this way then, you're still young, perhaps the role might not be fitting for you. I'm sure you could at least be an Honorary Captain then? You'll have the authority, but there's no need for you to work. Just help out when the time comes, how about that?"

Qin Feng couldn't reject his offer.

An Honorary Captain, to put it bluntly was a non-job that came with all the benefits.

With an identity like that, his status in the Chengbei Colony would increase tremendously. He would no longer be just an ordinary student.

Suddenly, Qin Feng could sense something. He raised his head and looked into the distance. He saw a shadow standing by the windows of a huge car.

The figure had a strong presence. His face was a little grim, as if he was very unhappy. There was something very bureaucratic about him.

'Lin Zeng!' The name immediately appeared within his mind.

He was looking at him with irk. There was even killing intent in his eyes.

'Han Jian and Dengnian had seen me in action today, surely Lin Zeng did as well. Maybe he's already suspecting me?'

It was just a thought. Since Lin Zeng was standing in Dengnian's direction, Dengnian thought that Qin Feng was looking at him and seeking his advice. Dengnian felt proud and said smilingly." Qin Feng, with great power comes great responsibility. Please do not let General Han Jian's good intention go down the drain. Please, be the Honorary Captain!"

After hearing that, he turned his vision away from Lin Zeng as if he didn't even know he was there in the distance. He looked toward Han Jian.

"If you insist, then I shall not disobey you!"

"Haha, good, good! Come, your Captain's badge will be sent here soon, let's discuss this in another place!"

Qin Feng, Dengnian, and Han Jian walked toward another car. They were obviously going to discuss it there.

Outside the assessment area, only a watchful crowd remained.

"Looks like this Qin Feng is the real deal!"

"He's too strong, scoring more than five thousand points. He probably wasn't killing G-tiered ghouls!"

"He's gotta be at least an F-tier to be an Honorary Captain. Looks like we shouldn't underestimate this Qin Feng!"

And now, Gao Lingfeng who was doubtful about Qin Feng had lost his gentle demeanor for the first time. His face was red, he was ashamed and angry!

Li Yaoyao too had a mixed expression. She wanted to teach Qin Feng a lesson before this. Now, he had taken a great leap instead. She was no match for her.

They were both embarrassed before they could shame Qin Feng. The two of them had now held a grudge against Qin Feng.

After a short chat with Dengnian and Han Jian, Qin Feng excused himself. They were busy people, after all. Qin Feng did not want Dengnian to teach him about the abilities anyway. Light and Darkness should have a distinct line. Qin Feng was uncomfortable even when standing near Dengnian.

After he had left, Qin Feng went back to the battle point exchange station to see if there was anything good.

He exchanged for some items that could be useful in emergencies that weren't always on the market, such as a Purple-Rune Tier gear that was made from Beast General material and a military-spec firearm that had a harrowing firepower.

Qin Feng took a glance. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Chakra pills!"

Chapter 94: All-Rounder F2-Tier

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chakra Pills were a vital supplement an ancient warrior needed to enhance his or her internal force. The pill consisted of various precious ingredients and could greatly boost the user's strength after consumption. The internal power would further heighten once its nutrients had been completely assimilated.

Aside from aiding one's training, the pill could also be employed to restore vitality during a battle, though it was rather wasteful for the item to be used this way.

That must be why Chakra Pill appeared on the list. Normally, this item could only be found in Chengyang City. It was rare to see Chakra Pill at Chengbei Colony since it could only be used by an ancient warrior of F-tier and higher.

"I would like to exchange for fifty Chakra Pills." Qin Feng decisively used 5,000 points to redeem the pills.

He did not use the remaining 600 points as the Chakra Pills were more than enough for him to endure the coming days.

Qin Feng then checked his communicator and found that he had 140 million yuan in his account.

Among them, 50 million was from the black card that once belonged to Jiang Shaoyang, another 50 million was the money found in the Spatial Rune also originally owned by Jiang Shaoyang (thanks to Xue Xingfu), 10 million bounty reward, and 30 million was earned from hunting down the bat beasts a few days ago.

"Let's get you these two," Qin Feng said while pointing at the communicator.

Bai Li had gotten a knack of using the communicator recently. They could check the new items posted online in real-time after connecting to the Wanzong Auction House.

Normal F-tier energy cores usually cost only tens of thousands. However, Bai Lee only wanted cores from Beast Kings which would require a preposterous sum.

Judging by the amount of effort they poured in to conquer the Emperor Knight this time, it was justifiable that the energy core of the beast king rank was priced so high due to its rarity and enormous potential.

F5-tier King of Giant's core, price 53 million.

F7-tier Broodmother's core, price 83.1 million.

"Sure! Thanks, dear!" Bai Li thanked him happily.

Qin Feng raised his eyebrow. "A simple thank you would not cut it."

Bai Li blinked as she did not understand what Qin Feng meant.

Qin Feng was tempted to tease Bai Li more after meeting her pure and innocent eyes. His guilt was easily overcome by his rush of desire.

"Kiss me." Qin Feng tapped his cheek with his finger.

Bai Li immediately closed in. However, instead of kissing, it was more of a lick. The way a fox would express joy was no different from other canines.

"Alright, alright." Qin Feng stopped her and realized it was not a good idea to tease Bai Li after all. She often overdid it. Nevertheless, the grin on his face showed that he was pleased and enjoyed the exchange.

After he received the package from Wanzong, Qin Feng made his way back to the colony. There was laughter coming from beside his and Zhou Hao's cars.

"Zhou Hao, get the barbeque wing cooked quickly. I am starving!"

"You already had five and I haven't eaten anything. What kind of stomach do you have in such a small body?"

"It is exactly because of my small body that I need to eat more so I can grow taller."

"You are seventeen and way past puberty. Be done with false hopes."

"Screw you. I am going to finish everything here today and leave nothing for you."

When Qin Feng walked over, he saw Lu Meng and Zhou Hao fighting over the chicken wings on top of a grill rack.

"That smells heavenly." Qin Feng approached them.

"Come help me now you nut. We have a big eater over here."

Qin Feng was surprised by how the two got along so well this quickly but he asked nothing and promptly joined them.

Bai Li was also attracted by the smell and crouched down. The food on top of the grill seemed to be more delicious than the energy core they had just purchased.

These things were brought over by Zhou Hao. His car was larger and he had installed a small fridge in the boot. Other than that, there were also a lot of life necessities, including the grill rack.

While they were eating, Qin Feng finally understood how the two came together.

Zhou Hao and Lu Meng had formed a team after Li Yaoyao ditched the latter for Gao Linhan.

Lu Meng was impressed by Zhou Hao on the first day. They had both killed two hundred G-tier zombies combined. The number of points gathered was no less than when she teamed up with Li Yaoyao.

Qin Feng was glad that Zhou Hao found himself a rich female partner. This way, his buddy would face less risk in the wild.

The dinner lasted for an hour. Bai Li had also eaten a lot of chicken wings. She could have eaten ten more kilos if they had not run out of meat. Yet, Bai Li was still satisfied with the delicious wings and she eased her hostility toward Zhou Hao a little.

'I am not going to hunt tonight.' It's no longer necessary for Qin Feng to go out in the night after he had exposed his true strength earlier. He might raise suspicion if he continued to battle.

'It's about time I focus on upgrading my power!'

Qin Feng closed his eyes and unleashed his consciousness. He indulged himself in the experience he had gained during the day.

He killed six dark-robed entity in a row today. That had upgraded his consciousness by several tiers and it was now F1-tier.

"Xiao Bai, take everything out and you may go rest," Qin Feng ordered.

"Roger that!"

Bai Li emptied the Spatial Rune, and a large pile of red marbles immediately appeared and rolled all over the floor. These were the energy cores they had gathered during the day. Within them, there were a few rusty bones and six black color ability cores.

'Dark energy core that belongs to a beast general!' Qin Feng had earned more than the points could provide today. These things in front of him were equally valuable though they could not be turned into money.

Other ability users might need a machine to extract the rune but Qin Feng could conveniently skip that step.

'Absorb!'

'Absorb! Absorb! Absorb!'

His consciousness evolved into the next tier after he swallowed the six ability cores.

F2-tier consciousness achieved!

Not only that but Qin Feng had also found new ways of rune arrangement among the cores that he had just absorbed.

Since he owned the Hell Stone, his dark ability held ten times greater potential than other users. At this rate, even the dark-robed entities would not be his match.

After he was done with the cores, he opened his eyes and laid them on the strange bones.

He knew just how resilient these bones were through the battle today. These were great stuff.

Qin Feng remembered the broken arm he obtained before and activated his absorption ability once again to consume the bones.

He was busy absorbing and evolving the whole night. All his attributes, including his consciousness, physical strength, internal force, and warrior tier had reached F2-tier in just one night. Furthermore, his F2-tier was definitely stronger than other equivalents by a few notches.

Qin Feng exhaled slowly when the first light of dawn lit the sky. He had made a giant leap forward and was no longer the same man he was the day before. His power had grown significantly overnight.

'I wonder whether I can solo the Emperor Knight now?' Qin Feng clenched his fist and was eager to try out.

Chapter 95: Dark-Robed Ripper

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Feng reckoned he should not be too full of himself when he recalled that the Emperor Knight was at F8-tier.

He reminded himself not to evaluate the current situation based on his past experience as an A-tier warrior. Emperor Knights were a formidable foe that was still too difficult for him at his present state.

Qin Feng loosened up a little after he thought it through. 'Getting stronger should be my priority now.'

He worked relentlessly the next few days to exterminate as many F-tier zombies as possible. Nonetheless, the invasion did not show signs of slowing down.

Qin Feng had indeed become stronger. He was currently as lethal as an E-tier fighter. Both the number of zombies killed and his points increased exponentially as the days went by.

On the other hand, the Dark-Robed Rippers seemed to have become equally desperate. The more zombies the humans killed, the more frequent the spatial rift appeared. The humans and the beasts were locked in a seesaw battle.

In the past few days, not only the zombies but the human force had also suffered considerable loss. A handful of ability users had fallen in the hands of the enemy. Chengyang city was able to hold only because they had hauled in large reinforcements from other colonies. Besides, the authorities had covered up the number of actual casualties, thus not many knew that they had already lost close to four hundred comrades.

Qin Feng was aware of the actual situation. Hence, other than essential rest, he had been hunting non-stop up at Zimu Mountains. His point reward was a whopping 80,000 credits now, which far exceeded the rest of the troop.

At the mountains, Qin Feng leisurely beheaded another fiery zombie in front of him.

The core inside the zombie skull was an ability core. After Qin Feng had absorbed it, the core granted him a small number of fire runes.

Unfortunately, even with the great numbers of runes, Qin Feng still found it difficult to enhance his consciousness.

He could not do anything about it. Most of the dark-robed entities had been killed by him and he had run out of ingredients to power up his consciousness.

"Why didn't the Ripper let more dark-robed entities slip through?" Qin Feng murmured.

He actually understood why. Ability users that could manipulate runes were a rare breed. If it were uncommon among the human race, then it should also be the case for other species. The dark-robed entities were probably a rare and valuable asset in their world as well.

Qin Feng chuckled and was suddenly alerted. A dark-robed entity had just appeared not very far ahead.

"Speaking of the devil!" Qin Feng dashed up to the beast quickly.

Bai Li sensed the anomaly and cautioned her master. "Dear, be careful. It's a beast king."

Bai Li had learned about the human classification of beasts after mingling in the society for a while now. The dark-robed entity in front of them was not the common beast Qin Feng thought it was.

Qin Feng was startled. "The Dark-Robed Ripper?"

The moment he made out the enemy's identity, it was already dashing toward him.

Rawr!

The Ripper revealed its look. Different from the black skeleton and skull usually seen on common dark-robed entities, the Ripper's face was scarlet. It looked exactly like a skinless creature with its flesh exposed. There were no whites in its eyes, which made the creature both peculiar and hideous.

He seemed to have found out that the culprit behind its underlings' massacre was the human in front of it. The beast raised its arm and rays of dark bands soon covered Qin Feng.

'Dark laser?' Qin Feng knew exactly what those rays were. The other dark-robed entities had used the same trick on him before but since he had absorbed the hell stone, Qin Feng was immune to all types of dark ability.

However, Qin Feng decided it was best not to expose his ability with so many surveillance drones flying around.

Unfortunately, the Ripper's dark ray traveled too fast and shrouded a huge area owing to the abundant dark element surrounding them. It was simply not possible to evade them all.

'You are not the only one with a laser!' Qin Feng reacted calmly and raised his fingers. However, the beam coming out from it was not the dark laser but a blazing spark.

'Fire beam!' Qin Feng learned the skill immediately after he mastered the dark laser since both skills were based on the same principle. To a certain extent, the fire beam was even more devastating than the dark ray. Unlike the debilitating effect of the dark laser, the fire beam features scorching heat and explosive impact. With such dense energy packed into a single beam, the fire element actually had a bigger advantage in a direct collision between the two.

Pop!

The fire beam met the dark laser straight on in mid-air. The two forces pushed against each other evenly. But slowly and steadily, Qin Feng's fire beam began to push back the dark laser.

'Go all the way!' Qin Feng enhanced his consciousness and gathered more fire runes in the air. He finally amassed enough energy to completely overwhelm his opponent.

Boom!

The flame hit the Ripper's body and sent the beast flying.

"Hmm?" Qing Feng was baffled.

Because of the attack, the Dark-Robed Ripper was no longer able to hide its presence. The communicator picked up the beast's signal and rang abruptly.

"Alert! Beast king has appeared. The detected creature is F3-tier. It is 42 meters away from your current position. Be cautious and retreat immediately."

Qin Feng's new communicator was able to analyze nearby creatures with better precision.

'The Dark-Robed Ripper is only an F3-tier? Then why are those E-tier users still unable to defeat it? What a bunch of thrash!'

Qin Feng turned grim as he instantly comprehended the true reason behind it. Since the situation was largely under control now, E-tier fighters only needed to fight once or twice per day and would be given a great reward. They certainly did not hope to see this end too quickly. This was because the longer the war dragged on, the more benefit they would be able to reap.

As a result, those who put their lives on the line were not the E-tiers but users from G-tier and F-tier.

'I will gladly take what you have let loose.' Qin Feng marched on furiously. The Ripper was obviously a powerful ability user. Such a creature certainly had high consciousness. Qin Feng could not wait to reap the reward from killing it.

The Ripper was greatly agitated by Qin Feng. To the beast, Qin Feng was just a measly fly that did not know his place.

It pointed at Qin Feng furiously. A dark circular object promptly appeared at the tip of its finger and enlarged rapidly.

Qin Feng side-stepped and evaded the attack agilely.

The dark energy ball could pry away a human life force. It worked almost the same way as Qin Feng's skill, only that the Ripper had stronger consciousness and could release the attack at will from a further distance.

Qin Feng moved extremely fast by triggering his inner force. He relayed most of the force to his leg, which enabled him to skip past the ball of death.

At the same time, five fire beams exploded simultaneously.

Boom!

The Dark-Robed Ripper protected itself with a dark barrier and resisted Qin Feng's short-range attack.

The two of them scaled up the assault as both sides refused to back down. It was hard for the drone not to notice the barrage of massive attacks executed in this battle.

Inside the base, most of the E-tier ability users received the live footage almost at the same time.

"What's the big fuss?"

"It's the Ripper. Someone seems to be fighting it!"

"I recognize him. It's Qin Feng. Why did he attack the Ripper?"

"He is actually capable of exterminating an F-tier beast king. That's bad. We have to stop him now!"

Chapter 96: Shootout

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Feng believed that the soldiers were reserving their strength to seek for long term gain. However, there was actually another catch in this pit of a mess.

The authorities of Chengyang City had long planned to place a stabilizer at this location. In the future, this place would become a colony just like Chengbei.

The important question that lingered in everyone's mind now was who would be deployed as the mayor in this colony. There was a lot of interest at stake here as the one who would become the mayor would reap tremendous benefits.

That was the actual reason why the troop was not acting in consensus. They were probing and guarding against each other.

One day ago, the mayor of Chengyang City finally had enough of it and announced that the one with the most contribution in this war would be given the position.

This somehow soothed the fierce rivalries between the opportunists. They knew well that the first to strike would easily become the center of gunpoint so everyone was biding their time.

Unexpectedly, the balance was broken after just one day by the hands of a G-tier ability user.

Obviously, they could tell that Qin Feng was far greater than a G-tier. That gave them all the more reason to stop him from killing the Ripper.

Qin Feng was not aware of the political infighting within the troop.

His communicator rang continuously during the battle but he was too occupied with the Ripper and paid little attention to it.

It was Deng Nian on the other side of the communicator. He was worried sick.

Qin Feng was his student and also a gifted genius that would become the pillar of his university in years to come. He would not allow any mishap to happen to such an important talent.

Deng Nian was excited when he first saw Qin Feng challenging the Ripper alone. But when he thought about the promise made by Chengyang's mayor a day earlier, he knew Qin Feng might have poked the beehive.

However, he could not warn Qin Feng in time since he did not answer his call.

'I am not going to let anything happen to you!'

Deng Nian took over the public announcer and yelled, "Qin Feng, give up your pursuit. Leave the ripper alone and get the hell out of there."

There was one glaring problem in doing this, though. Now, everyone inside Zimu Mountain was aware of Qin Feng's presence.

Qin Feng was well known in this region. Such an announcement would only raise more curiosity among the ability users around the vicinity.

Qin Feng did not understand Deng Nian's intention when he heard the public call. This was when a red projectile came flying in from the camp's direction.

Qin Feng's face immediately darkened. It was obvious that the missile was aiming at him.

'What the hell are they doing?'

The drone was still transmitting so those in the base must have known that he was still nearby. 'How could they fire the missile while I am this close to the Ripper? Are they trying to bury us alive together?'

He recalled the warning from Deng Nian a moment ago and guessed that he must have gotten himself into an unknown affair.

That only further aggravated him.

'How dare these guys back-stab me!?' He was furious and unsheathed the photon gun on his waist. He fired several quick shots and downed the few drones around him.

The Dark-Robed Ripper transformed into a shadow and vanished into thin air the moment the missile landed.

"Xiao Bai, take cover!" Qin Feng finally unleashed Bai Li since they were no longer under surveillance.

"Let's move!" Bai Li instantly teleported while carrying Qin Feng with her.

Boom!

The projectile landed right where Qin Feng initially was at. The place soon exploded and caught fire. Qin Feng would definitely be reduced to dust if he had jumped off another second late.

It was a rather powerful explosive missile.

'Just so happens that I know a thing or two about projectiles as well.' Qin Feng smirked and expanded his consciousness. The conscious energy of an ability user far exceeded that of a gunner.

"Xiao Bai, get me the long-ranged launcher. The silver one!"

"This?" Bai Li handed over a silver launcher that looked more like a mechanical arm. Its metallic coating shone brightly under the sunlight.

Qin Feng handled the launcher skillfully and set it up swiftly on his left shoulder. The whole process took less than five seconds.

He then raised the bazooka and placed his right index finger on the giant trigger.

Boom!!

An orange missile was fired out of the launcher after the loud bang.

At the same time, an E-tier gunner at a mountain thousands of miles away was stupefied. The gunner could feel that he was being targeted and the next moment, a missile aiming at him came abruptly into his vision.

"Sh*t!" This gunner was the one who had ambushed Qin Feng with the red projectile earlier on. He did not expect Qin Feng to locate him so quickly and immediately counter attack.

Boom!

The E-tier gunner fired another shot intended to intercept Qin Feng's shot mid-air.

Thousands of miles away, Qin Feng sneered. 'Jokes on you. Turn!'

He controlled the missile with his consciousness to avoid the incoming red missile. It then continued to pierce toward the gunner's location.

"Bastard!" The E-tier ability user rebuked out of panic. He fired another few rounds and finally stopped the missile before it reached him.

Before he could catch his breath, he suddenly heard the hissing sounds of more missiles breaking through the air. He looked up and saw three orange missiles come through the mushroom cloud. His consciousness had failed to sense any of it.

"Consciousness blocking…" The gunner murmured unwittingly and was engulfed by multiple explosions in the next moment.

Ka-boom!

Qin Feng grinned at the foot of the mother mountain. 'Get a taste of your own medicine.'

The counter attack by Qin Feng was rather astonishing.

There were seventeen E-tier ability users at the scene. The fallen gunner was not the only one that had pulled the trigger but he was indeed the fastest among them.

The others were waiting to follow up to ensure the kill on the Ripper and Qin Feng but were horrified to see that Qin Feng had returned the favor with even more powerful assaults. The sign of the Dark-Robed Ripper had also disappeared along with Qin Feng.

The group could not sense Qin Feng's whereabouts but was instead target-locked by Qin Feng's consciousness.

"How scary is this guy? Since when did his consciousness become so powerful?"

"Screw him! I thought that he was an ancient warrior?!"

"According to the data, Qin Feng was a student from the ability class of Chengbei University. Could it be that his ability had reached F-tier? Otherwise, how could he be this strong?"

The consciousness of a gunner was induced by using external help. Its power would never match that of an ability user who had developed it naturally. Even though Qin Feng's consciousness was only F-tier, he still outclassed every single E-tier gunner here!

The gunners were pinned and dared not attack recklessly.

"We are out. ancient warriors, you are up next. Be sure to stop Qin Feng at all cost!"

The ancient warriors had begun taking action before being asked to do so. They glided toward Zimu Mountains and were searching for Qin Feng frantically from the sky above the area.
