Chapter 118: Reviewing the God-tier Post, Senior Qin Feng is This Powerful?

Chapter 118: A Look Back at the Legendary Posts, Senior Qin Feng is Really That Fierce?

This thread instantly triggered an even more violent debate.

Replies:

"I think the first possibility is more likely. Have we not seen enough stories of fallen geniuses? Maybe he really is stuck at a bottleneck."

"Bullshit! Look at that murderous aura of his, does that look like someone facing a bottleneck? I bet on the second one! He's absolutely gone off to execute some secret mission!"

"Hiss... speaking of which, could Senior Qin Feng's strength be far more terrifying than we imagined?"

All sorts of conjectures and so-called "inside information" flew across the sky, casting an even more mysterious veil over Qin Feng's return.

And what truly brought the atmosphere of the forum to its absolute peak was the appearance of a third trending post.

[Trending Post 3 (Senior Year Zone): The wolf is here! The Return of the Rookie King Qin Feng, where will this year's battle for the 'Qiming General Star' head?]

This thread pointed its spearhead directly at the heaviest tournament of Qiming First High this year.

Main post content:

"Fellow seniors, that man has returned.

We all know that this year's 'Qiming General Star' was supposed to be something already in the bag for several seniors like Feng Ruyun, Li Daoyi, and Zhao Wuji.

But now, the greatest variable has appeared.

Qin Feng, this monster who took the title of 'Rookie King' less than four months after enrollment, and who has returned a year later bearing a terrifying murderous aura, his goal is undoubtedly also the 'Qiming General Star.'

Let's discuss this rationally, everyone. With the mere tip of the iceberg he has revealed so far, what exactly are his chances of winning? Will our 'Iron Triangle' structure be broken because of this?"

This post completely ignited the entire Senior Year Zone.

Countless top senior experts who had been lurking in the shadows for a long time descended one after another to voice their opinions.

Replies:

"Humph, sensationalism. No matter how strong he is, he has only cultivated for less than two years. His foundation and heritage are simply not on the same level as Senior Feng Ruyun and the others."

"Exactly. The 'Qiming General Star' relies not just on talent, but on the accumulation of days and months. He might become a dark horse, but wanting to win the championship is absolutely impossible."

"You can't say that. Have you forgotten how he took the Rookie King title last year? No one thought he could win. I hold a conservative attitude, I feel he has the strength to break into at least the top ten."

"I just chatted with Sun He, and his expression looked terrible. He only said one sentence: 'You all underestimate him too much.' I feel things might not be that simple."

...

Just as the older students of the sophomore and senior years were discussing animatedly over Qin Feng's return, raising a tumultuous wave.

A slightly amusing, discordant voice quietly appeared in the public section of the forum.

[New Post: A cute newbie begs to ask, um... who is this Qin Feng you all are talking about? Is he very famous?]

The poster's ID was "Grade One Cute Newbie."

During the year Qin Feng had been away, Qiming First High had recruited a completely fresh intake of newborns full of vitality and dreams.

To them, the name "Qin Feng" was completely unfamiliar.

Their idols were the Rookie Kings of this current intake. What they discussed were the influential figures of their own grade.

The appearance of this post made the originally tense and solemn atmosphere of the forum instantly turn somewhat bizarre.

After a brief silence, some sophomore veterans began to descend and reply.

Replies:

"Pfft... tears of the era. To think there are already freshmen who don't know God Qin?"

"Junior upstairs, let me popularize some knowledge for you. Qin Feng is our previous intake's, which means your sophomore year's, 'Rookie King.' Moreover, he is the most unreasonable, most monstrous Rookie King in the history of Qiming First High."

"More than just unreasonable. Let's put it this way, those sophomore seniors and senior sisters you look up to now, a year ago, if you counted them one by one, every single one was rubbed into the ground by him."

The curiosity of the freshmen was thoroughly piqued.

"Real or fake? Is he really that amazing? Requesting details! Requesting evidence!"

Thus, some meddlesome sophomore students began their work of "archaeology."

They searched through trunks and chests, digging out those long-silent "ancient legendary posts" from a year ago from the depths of the forum one by one, and linked them below the new thread.

[Review of Historical Legendary Post 1: "The Lesson of a Single Staff! Rookie King Qin Feng Displays His Might in the Cafeteria, Subduing Sophomore Expert Tie Lin in a Single Move!" (Surveillance video attached)]

[Review of Historical Legendary Post 2: "Data Analysis! From the Tail End of Enrollment to the Rookie King, and Then to Defeating the Veteran Student Sun He Whose Killing Method is Consummate, How Terrifying is Qin Feng's Growth Curve?"]

[Review of Historical Legendary Post 3: "Rookie King Battle Replay! Facing the Wind and Thunder Staff Lei Yi, a Textbook Long-Weapon Anti-Close-Quarters Strategy!"]

When these old posts filled with legendary color, along with that clearly-resolved surveillance video of "The Lesson of a Single Staff," were presented once more before all the freshmen.

The entire freshman community boiled over completely.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! This video! The lesson of a single staff, fully revealing the air of a grandmaster, this is too handsome!"

"Heavens! When he first enrolled, his vitality index was only 1.23? This... how is this possible?!"

"So before us, there was actually such an immortal senior?!"

And those older students who had already known all of this, looking at this familiar yet strange scene on the forum, had only one common, heartfelt exclamation left in their minds.

That freak, that monster.

That unreasonable man who, like a nightmare, had shrouded their entire freshman era, had returned.

The clamor in the cafeteria was like a pebble thrown into a lake, the ripples it rippled out soon spreading across the entirety of Qiming First High.

Just as the three of Qin Feng walked out of the cafeteria, his wrist terminal had already begun to vibrate crazily.

One friend request after another, one private message after another, one Imperial Arena challenge invitation after another surged in like a tide.

The senders included curious sophomore students, battle-hungry senior veterans, and even some unknown freshmen who had come upon hearing the news. They all wanted to personally experience what terrifying boundaries this legendary "Rookie King's" strength had reached after disappearing for a year.

To this, Qin Feng merely cast a calm glance, and immediately after, turned on the do-not-disturb mode.

His current state was simply not suitable for conducting any form of sparring.

After bidding farewell to Qian Duoduo and Shi Potian, he went straight back to Dormitory 402, locking himself inside.

For the next three days, Qin Feng did not step foot out of the dormitory again.

He refused all visitors and communications, immersing his entire being in a deep state of self-adjustment.

Sitting cross-legged on the living room floor with his eyes tightly shut, he operated the "Emperor's Meditation Technique" which had already reached the realm of minor accomplishment.

Qin Feng could clearly "see" that cold and violent murderous aura, which had been stained by a year of a sea of corpses and blood on Planet Purgatory-VII and had long fused with his mind, will, and even his soul, coiled deep within his sea of consciousness like a dormant black giant dragon.

In a peaceful environment, this giant dragon would unconsciously emit a heart-palpitating pressure outward.

And what Qin Feng needed to do was to use his own spiritual power, which was likewise tempered a thousand times and had become incomparably condensed and resilient, to forge a "scabbard" for this giant dragon.

A "scabbard of the heart" that could allow him to restrain and release this murderous aura at his own whim.

This process consumed far more mental effort than engaging in a high-intensity battle.

He needed to use his spiritual power to comb through, soothe, and control that violent aura over and over again.

Fortunately, the minor accomplishment realm of the "Emperor's Meditation Technique" endowed him with a spiritual power intensity and resilience far surpassing martial artists of the same level.

On the first day, he could only manage to keep that murderous aura from leaking out unconsciously.

The next day, he had already learned to meet another's gaze without letting them feel that chilling cold that pierced straight to the soul.

On the third day, when he opened his eyes again, his entire demeanor had once more undergone a transformation.

That aura of slaughter, as if it could freeze the very air, was perfectly retracted and concealed within his body.

At this moment, he appeared as nothing more than an ordinary youth, with a quiet temperament and a hint of introversion.

Only the occasional glint of sharp light deep within his eyes, as profound as the starry sky, betrayed the terrifying nature hidden within.

During these three days, he had also casually submitted his application for this year's Qiming Inter-school League through the academic affairs system.

The application was approved almost instantly.

And on the campus forum, the great wave stirred up by his return had gradually subsided over these three days.

The students of Qiming No.1 High School were, after all, no ordinary youths.

After the brief fervor and clamor, they quickly redirected their attention back to their own cultivation.

For each of them understood clearly: no matter how splendid the legends of others, what ultimately decides one's own future is only the power held in one's own hands.

This was the unique trait of Qiming No.1 High School students—extreme self-focus and extreme pragmatism.

……

Three days later, Qin Feng felt that his state had been adjusted well enough.

He left his dormitory and headed to the private martial arts meditation room that belonged only to him, intending to find his rhythm and do some adaptive training before the league began.

However, as he arrived at the martial arts room, he found a familiar figure quietly waiting outside the door.

It was Sun He.

Seeing the bloodshot eyes and slightly weary expression, Qin Feng immediately realized that he had probably been waiting here for more than a day.

Qin Feng instinctively opened his wrist terminal and switched to the private domain network.

Sure enough, in the message list he had blocked, Sun He's avatar bore a "99+" unread message marker.

"Hmm?"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Qin Feng's face.

"Senior, I'm sorry."

He said with some apology, "A few days ago, there were too many people in the subspace private domain sending me private messages to challenge me, so I turned off the message notifications and didn't see your messages."

"It doesn't matter."

Sun He waved his hand, showing no sign of impatience; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief at finally having waited for Qin Feng.

His gaze carefully examined Qin Feng from head to toe.

He was astonished to find that in just three days, the suffocating, terrifying killing intent that had emanated from the youth before him had vanished without a trace, leaving him as gentle and unpolished as a warm jade, returning to simplicity.

This terrifying control over his own aura made Sun He's heart stir with even greater surprise.

"Junior Qin Feng,"

Sun He took a deep breath and asked bluntly, "May I ask? Your current strength... just how far have you reached?"

Qin Feng looked at his extremely serious eyes and knew that this was no mere curiosity.

He was silent for a moment, then answered truthfully: "My vitality index has just reached 30.01. As for combat arts, I have achieved dual mastery of the 'Thousand Army Spear' and the 'Fierce Bird Fist Technique.'"

"Hiss—"

Although he had anticipated it in his heart, when he heard the answer with his own ears, Sun He could not help but inhale sharply.

Dual... dual mastery?!

His body trembled slightly from the sheer shock.

He understood completely now.

His earlier judgment had not only been correct, but he had also vastly underestimated the terrifying extent of this monster before him!
