Chapter 174: Qin the Beast's Name Spreads Far and Wide, the Gold Content of Canaan Tower! New

Chapter 174: The Beast Qin's Fame Spreads Far and Wide, The True Value of Canaan Tower! New Students in Awe!

At the very moment Qin Feng's figure was teleported out of Canaan Tower and returned to the empty, silent teleportation hall,

across the entire private forum of Canaan Star Martial University, on the personal terminal interfaces of the billions of students who were online, a massive, school-wide announcement suddenly popped up without warning, written in the most eye-catching, blood-red font!

The announcement contained only a single line of text.

Yet it was like a depth charge dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up monstrous waves!

[Warm congratulations! Fourth-level martial artist Qin Feng has successfully conquered the hundredth floor of Canaan Tower! This announcement is hereby made to encourage him!]

This announcement, with an unyielding attitude, arrogantly occupied the very top of all student forum interfaces.

It had no close button, just hung there quietly, high up, flashing a glaring red light, as if proclaiming an extraordinary achievement worthy of being recorded in history.

The announcement lasted a full five minutes.

During those long five minutes, across the entire Canaan Star Martial University—whether students cultivating in their dorms, elites sweating in the mission area, or competitors who had just finished a fierce match—

everyone's eyes were firmly drawn to that line of text.

After a brief, deathly silence,

the forum completely exploded!

Countless comments surged like a breached dam, wildly flooding the comment section below the announcement!

The refresh rate was so fast that the forum's server even experienced a momentary lag!

In the comment section, two distinctly different styles emerged.

Those veteran students, who had long heard the name Qin Feng like thunder, first reacted with a conditioned start upon seeing the announcement, but then immediately showed expressions of "I see" and "no surprise."

"Damn! Scared me! A fourth-level martial artist, conquering a hundred floors?! Isn't that a joke?! The guardian of the hundredth floor is a genuine Stone Clan monster with a life force index of 3600! ... Oh, it's the Beast Qin, then never mind, no wonder."

"When I saw the words 'fourth-level martial artist' and 'hundred floors' together, my first thought was that the system had a bug. But when I saw the name 'Qin Feng,' I knew it wasn't the system that had a bug—it was this world that had a bug. This is very reasonable, extremely reasonable."

"Haha! The guy above, 'the world has a bug' is hilarious! But seriously, that Beast Qin guy, after winning the fourth-level division championship, went straight to challenge the tower. I thought he went into seclusion to merge orifices, but it turns out he went to Canaan Tower to milk it! He really doesn't let a single contribution point go!"

"Probably."

"Calm down, calm down. Basic operation, don't 6, just sit. For a creature like the Beast Qin that can't be judged by common sense, we need to learn to view it with a normal heart. Otherwise, our martial arts heart will be lost sooner or later."

...

The discussions among veteran students were filled with teasing and a kind of "nothing new under the sun" indifference.

As if anything Qin Feng did that was earth-shattering was only natural.

However, for the new students who had just enrolled not long ago and were still immersed in the pride of standing out from their respective planets, this announcement and the discussions of the veteran students brought an unprecedented, almost subversive shock!

Their comments were filled with shock, confusion, and intense curiosity about that mysterious code name.

"Beast Qin? Is this... Senior Qin Feng's nickname? It sounds... so domineering, yet so strange..."

"Please explain! Which senior or junior can give a rundown? What exactly is the background of this Senior Qin Feng? How did the nickname 'Beast Qin' come about? And why do you all think it's normal for the Beast Qin to conquer a hundred floors?"

"Um... a newbie just enrolled a month ago, haven't finished the tutorials yet, timidly and politely asking... Is conquering the hundredth floor of Canaan Tower a very impressive, very remarkable achievement? I saw the announcement lasted five minutes, and it was school-wide?"

"Same question! I also went to challenge Canaan Tower before. On the 15th floor, a three-meter-tall elite greenskin chopped me out with one axe, and I'm still doing psychological recovery... What does a hundred floors even mean?!"

...

Facing the avalanche of questions from new students, full of thirst for knowledge,

some veteran students who had nothing better to do and were happy to help began their favorite activity: "forum grave-digging."

Like experienced old hunters, they skillfully, from the vast sea of old posts on the forum—measured in units of "jing"—precisely dug up those posts related to the keywords "Qin Feng" and "Beast Qin" that had once caused huge sensations, one by one, and then directly linked them in the comment section.

For a moment, the entire forum became an archaeological site of the "Legend of Qin Feng."

[Archaeological Link 1: "Shock! Enrolled for 40 years, defeated 'Old Loafer' Zhou Run head-on! Full suppression! The name 'Beast Qin' lives up to the hype!"]

[Archaeological Link 2: "(HD Uncensored) Full Final Match Video! Qin Feng vs Zhou Run! The mad assault starting from 'a glimmer of cold light'! Textbook-level spear technique lesson!"]

[Archaeological Link 3: "(Deep Reveal) Finished the Ultimate Orifice-Opening Method in 40 years, can you believe it?! How did 'Beast Qin' do it? Must-read for newbies! Let Professor Beast Qin take you through the Ultimate Orifice-Opening Method quickly! (Sarcastic)"]

[Archaeological Link 4: "(Inside Info) The only truth about why the Beast Qin's physical body could burst the detection pod! He sold his ass to a Star Beast! I have a friend who is a genuine Star Beast, and it knows the Beast Qin... (Dog head for safety)"]

[Archaeological Link 5: "(Inspirational Model) You only see his brilliance, but not his sweat! The seclusion maniac Beast Qin! When you can endure the seventh level of loneliness, you can become a true strong one! Enrolled at 17, crazy seclusion for 40 years, I ask all of you present, who can do that?!"]

[Archaeological Link 6: "...]

...

One by one, posts full of gimmicks yet detailed in content were made public.

When those curious new students, with a mix of doubt and belief, clicked on these links—especially the HD full video of Qin Feng vs Zhou Run—

the entire new student group was completely silenced.

Their worldview, their pride, their understanding of the word "genius"—at this moment, they were utterly shattered!

"Finished the 'Great Sun Orifice-Opening Method' in 40 years?! Is this a joke?! The average cultivation time for the Ultimate Orifice-Opening Method is about 100 years! How did he manage to cut that time by more than half?!"

"Oh my god... a seclusion maniac... this is too terrifying! I've only been enrolled for half a year, let alone seclusion—I can't even calm down and peacefully complete a single full session of the 'Great Sun Visualization Method'! My heart is always restless, always wanting to go out on missions, to cultivate killing techniques in the arena... And he, he can stay in his dormitory in seclusion for decades... Is this, is this even human?!"

"Quick! Quick, watch that battle video! Damn! This spear technique is too strong! Smooth and flowing, wildly ferocious! That senior named Zhou Run is also a 3600-point powerhouse, right? And he was suppressed from start to finish, unable to fight back! Is this the Beast Qin's strength?!"

The forum buzzed with discussion.

The name "Qin Feng," along with his legendary nickname "Beast Qin," on this day, in an unprecedented, overwhelming manner, completely conquered the cognition of all new students.

Just as those new students were still immersed in endless shock over Qin Feng's inhuman cultivation speed and combat power, unable to extricate themselves,

a user with the ID "Retired Loafer" suddenly posted a new comment on the forum.

This comment did not join in the praise of Qin Feng, but instead, in an extremely calm, almost educational tone, tried to pull the already somewhat off-track, fervent discussion atmosphere back to the core issue: "the true value of Canaan Tower's hundredth floor."

"Dear juniors, don't rush to be shocked. Before discussing the Beast Qin's abnormality, I think we first need to establish a unified, objective standard of understanding for the word 'strong.'"

This ID and its deliberately profound tone immediately caught the attention of countless students.

"First, I'll post a video here."

As soon as the words fell, a high-definition, professionally edited battle video was directly thrown out by him.

The video's title was full of a strong personal style.

[Video: "The Loafer's Road to Defense! Zhou Run vs Zheng Dong, Zhou Run once again wins the fourth-level division championship, still chooses to loiter and stay!"]

As the video started, what came into view was a familiar battle platform belonging to the newcomer cup fourth-level division finals.

And on one side of the platform was none other than that "Old Loafer" Zhou Run, who had appeared somewhat "embarrassed" in front of Qin Feng!

His opponent was a top-tier powerhouse named Zheng Dong, also renowned in the fourth-level division.

The battle began!

This time, Zhou Run was no longer the passive defender, the "victim" who took a beating all the way.

He transformed into a true, terrifying "perpetrator"!

[Both parties have life force indices of 3000+, both have mastered killing techniques to the control realm.]

In the corner of the video, a line of cold data clearly marked the strength of both sides.

Yet the battle scene was not a evenly matched clash of titans.

Zhou Run, with a longsword in hand, became like a silver bolt of lightning from the very first second of the duel, completely seizing the rhythm of the entire battlefield with an unparalleled, overwhelming aura of sheer pressure!

His swordplay was cunning and lethal, yet it possessed a carefree grace, as though he were lifting a heavy burden as lightly as a feather.

Each thrust of his blade was timed perfectly, completely sealing away all of his opponent’s routes of retreat.

Faced with Zhou Run, Zheng Dong—a powerhouse who also possessed a vitality index of over 3000 and who had similarly mastered the "Dominion Realm" of combat arts—appeared so clumsy, so utterly powerless.

He was like a toddler who had only just learned to walk, confronting a martial arts grandmaster in the absolute prime of his life.

Every single one of his attacks was anticipated by Zhou Run well in advance.

Every single one of his defenses was pierced through effortlessly by Zhou Run.

The entire battle lasted for less than a minute.

In the end, Zhou Run concluded the duel with a graceful, nonchalant strike called the Clouds Roll and Clouds Unfurl, landing it as light as a feather right before Zheng Dong’s vital point, ending the contest.

When that segment of the recording finished playing.

The entire forum, especially those freshmen who had only just finished watching the battle between Qin Feng and Zhou Run, fell once again into a deathly silence.

Immediately following that was an even more violent outburst of exclamations, tangled with endless shock!

"Holy... holy crap! This is Senior Zhou Run too?! The same Senior Zhou Run who was pinned down and violently beaten for three minutes under Senior Qin Feng’s hands?!"

"Too strong! This oppressive power! Senior Zheng Dong is also a monster with over 3000 points of vitality, right? In front of Senior Zhou Run, he actually had zero power to fight back! This gap in strength is just too massive!"

"So Senior Zhou Run is actually such a terrifying existence?! Before, when I saw him getting thrashed by Senior Qin Feng, I thought... I thought he was just a 'scoundrel' who only had a high cultivation realm without the actual skills... I was wrong, I was completely and utterly wrong!"

"Yeah! I finally understand! It’s not that Senior Zhou Run is weak, it’s... it’s that guy named the 'Qin Beast', he simply isn’t human at all!"

"Senior Zhou Run is already this incredible... and yet, Senior Qin Feng is even stronger than him! Stronger by more than just a little bit! My god, this Canaan Starry Skies Martial Arts University really is a den of monsters!"

...

Looking at the freshmen's bullet messages which were filled with astonishment, the user with the ID "Retired Scoundrel" seemed very satisfied.

He had been waiting precisely for this effect.

"It seems that everyone now has a preliminary concept of what the word 'strength' truly means."

He continued, unhurriedly, with his popular science lecture.

"My fellow junior brothers and sisters, every single one of you is a 'General Star' who fought through real blades and spears, carving your way out from among the hundreds of millions of martial arts high school students on your respective planets. You should understand better than anyone else the gap, like a heavenly chasm, that exists between a genius and an ordinary person."

"However, what I want to tell you today is—even among geniuses, there are tiers!"

"And the Canaan Tower, its purpose is to measure this exact disparity! Except, it doesn't just measure human geniuses. What it records are the most elite, most terrifying, and most unreasonable... geniuses among the tens of billions of races within this vast universe!"

"Yes, you did not read it wrongly, it is all the myriad races! Within this sea of stars, there are likewise countless races, and among them, there are similarly genuine, terrifying prodigies who have fought their way through blood from among billions of their own kind! Once you underestimate them due to racial arrogance, you will find yourselves dead without a burial site!"

"The first hundred floors of the Canaan Tower correspond to the range of our Tier 4 Acupoint Opening Realm. However, it corresponds to the topmost Tier 4 martial artists who have practiced the 'Supreme Acupoint Opening Method'! The upper limit of their vitality index is locked at 3600 points!"

"As for the difficulty of those earlier floors, I believe that as long as the freshmen present go and attempt them personally, you will be able to understand. I won't go into unnecessary detail."

"I will only talk about it starting from the 91st floor!"

His tone suddenly became incomparably solemn.

"Starting from the 91st floor, what you will have to face is a true nightmare! Every single gatekeeper on that floor will be one, or several, genuine alien monsters whose vitality indexes have similarly reached the limit of 3600 points, and whose combat arts have similarly reached the 'Dominion Realm'!"

"Perhaps some people might say, since everyone is at the same 3600-point limit and everyone uses Dominion Realm combat arts, we are all at the same starting line, so what is there to fear? Heheh..."

He let out a cold laugh filled with disdain.

"Then, I ask you to watch the duel between Qin Feng and Zhou Run once more. They were similarly at the 3600-point limit, and they similarly used Dominion Realm combat arts, but how large was the gap between them? I think you already have the answer in your hearts."

"By the same token, those monsters among the myriad races who can be recorded by the Canaan Tower are likewise the... kings among their peers!"

"Just like the recording of the duel between Zhou Run and Zheng Dong that you all watched just now. Zhou Run’s strength should be considered quite decent, right?"

"Zhou Run, vitality index of 3600 points, has mastered a total of seven Tier 1 combat arts at the 'Dominion Realm', five Tier 2 combat arts at the 'Completion Realm', and one Tier 3 combat art at the 'Completion Realm'."

"With this kind of strength, Zhou Run was stopped at the 81st floor of the Canaan Tower."

"He didn't even have the qualifications to challenge those floors with monsters that had a vitality index of 3600 points and mastered Dominion Realm combat arts!"

"The gatekeeper of that floor was a fallen 'Nurgle Worshiper' whose strength was so great it caused despair. Its vitality index was a mere 3400 points. However, it had mastered a full hundred-plus Tier 1 combat arts at the 'Completion Realm', over thirty Tier 2 combat arts at the 'Completion Realm', and a grand total of over a dozen Tier 3 combat arts at the 'Completion Realm'!"

"Now, do you know just how high the gold standard of the Canaan Tower's hundred floors actually is?"

"Let me tell you another statistic. In the history of the Canaan Starry Skies Martial Arts University, the vast majority of students only truly clear the hundred floors of the Canaan Tower for the first time after they have already broken through to the Tier 6 Sky-Soaring Martial Artist realm!"

Speaking up to this point, he paused for a moment, and then, he dropped a genuine blockbuster bomb that thoroughly exploded the entire venue!

"And don't ask me how I know all this so clearly."

"Because, I am Zhou Run."

The moment those four words, "I am Zhou Run," appeared on the forum.

The entire world seemed to freeze.

All the students, whether they were freshmen or seniors, were completely stunned into silence by this sudden, massive impact of the man himself making an appearance!

After a brief, deathly silence.

Came a boiling uproar that was more violent, more crazed, and more thoroughly explosive than any time before!

"Holy crap! Zhou Run! A live one!"

"Taking a picture in the front row! Capturing a wild scoundrel alive!!"

"My god! Senior Zhou Run came down to give a science lecture himself!"

"Right now, my mind is completely blank... with Senior Zhou Run's perverted level of strength, he actually can't even pass the 81st floor?! Then just what kind of hellish difficulty must the 91st to the 100th floors be!"

"The most critical point is... Senior Qin Feng, he didn't just clear it, but he cleared it during the stage of being a Tier 4 martial artist!"

"I finally understand why the entire school would run a red-headlined broadcast for him alone lasting a full five minutes! This is what you call a gold standard!"

Right at this moment, another unknown big shot with the ID "Sweeping Monk Inside the Tower" also came out at the right time to add a sentence, throwing the final piece of firewood onto this carnival.

"By the way, let me provide a piece of trivia for the freshmen."

"The Canaan Tower allows you to bully the weak with your superior strength. If you are a Tier 5 or Tier 6 martial artist and you go to challenge the first to the hundredth floors, you can still obtain those bountiful contribution value rewards. However, the private domain will not make any broadcasts."

"Only a true prodigy like Qin Feng, who accomplished the corresponding, nearly impossible challenge at the corresponding tier..."

"Can win this unique, all-private-domain broadcast that echoes through the entirety of Canaan!"

—

While the entire private domain forum of the Canaan Starry Skies Martial Arts University was swept into an unprecedented feast concerning the "Qin Beast" and the "gold standard of the Canaan Tower" due to that red-headlined broadcast and Zhou Run’s personal testimony.

As the absolute center of this storm, the man himself, Qin Feng, knew absolutely nothing about it.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged quietly within that spacious and familiar dormitory cultivation room, immersing his entire mind into another world that was far more important, and far more pure.

Before him, a massive virtual light screen was floating silently.

On the light screen, what was playing on a continuous loop was the battle footage of him fighting bloody battles, one after another, inside the Canaan Tower over the past year.

From that rampaging green-skinned armored war boss on the 91st floor, to that indestructible Stone Race champion warrior on the 100th floor.

Every single battle, every single failure, every single hard-won victory...

All the details had been recorded by him with the highest definition specifications, without a single error.

He watched them, over and over again.

Like the most exacting and fastidious chess player, reviewing his past games,

he slowed each of his movements to the utmost.

He analyzed every angle of his spear thrusts, every moment of exertion, every trajectory of his evasions.

He also analyzed those powerful opponents from myriad cosmic races—their utterly different fighting styles, their bizarre and unpredictable killing moves, and the most primal combat instincts they revealed in the throes of life and death.

This was a long, solitary, yet immensely fruitful process of sedimentation and summation.

Even within the same "Realm of Mastery," there existed a chasm between cloud and mud.

After hundreds, thousands of high-intensity life-and-death battles with those true alien monsters who had also reached the fourth-level limit, Qin Feng's understanding of the word "mastery" had long since changed beyond recognition.

The many killing techniques that had already reached the Realm of Mastery became, through these repeated reviews and insights, more harmonious, more condensed, and more lethal.

And for that second-level spear technique—"Cold Gleam"—on which he had pinned high hopes but which had yet to step into the Realm of Mastery, through these repeated observations and comparisons, he finally, faintly, captured a glimmer of inspiration leading to that realm.

Time slipped away quietly in this extreme focus and sedimentation.

When Qin Feng had thoroughly digested and absorbed those thousands of battle recordings, integrating them into his own combat system,

another six full months had passed.

He slowly opened his eyes.

A gleam of light, more restrained yet deeper than before, flashed in his pupils and vanished.

He raised his hand and shut down the virtual screen.

It was time for the next step.

Qin Feng stretched, and every bone in his body emitted a series of crackling sounds like popping beans.

Only then did he leisurely open his personal subspace network, which had lain dormant for so long.

By now, half a year had passed since his successful tower climb.

That red-hot broadcast that had once caused a stir on the forum had long since disappeared without a trace.

The entire forum had returned to its usual calm, with all kinds of posts constantly refreshing on the front page.

Qin Feng's fingers, familiar with the path, directly clicked on the familiar icon representing the empire's highest trading platform.

—The Imperial Trade House.

Seeing his contribution balance of "as high as" 6229 points, a knowing smile curled at the corner of Qin Feng's mouth.

This time, he did not look at those expensive techniques or those potions.

His gaze, firm and clear, locked onto the "Equipment Section."

He thought for a moment and finally made a decision.

—First, buy power armor.

This decision was not a whim but the most rational choice after careful deliberation.

There were two reasons.

First, and most importantly,

a top-tier power armor enhances a martial artist's strength comprehensively, visibly, and immediately!

The 50% boost to physical attributes, the life-support and pressure-stabilization systems that could save one's life at critical moments, and the micro-lift system that greatly improved mobility—

all of this brought a comprehensive combat power increase far greater than simply replacing a spear with a sturdier fifth-grade alloy one!

The second reason was based on the most practical cost-performance consideration.

At Canaan Starry Sky Martial Arts University, there was an unwritten benefit known to all senior students.

That is, beside every large teleportation base connected to off-campus mission areas, there is a "Power Armor Maintenance Center" directly under the Imperial Military, of the highest specification.

Students, using their student IDs, can perform daily maintenance, damage repair, and even replenish the expensive psychic crystals that serve as the power core—

all of it completely free!

This is the greatest support given to encourage students to actively participate in missions!

Buy power armor first, then take missions, and sustain combat through combat.

This is undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice under the current circumstances!

As for that "Koi Transforms into Dragon" alloy spear that also made him covet it—

a sly glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.

He didn't believe that when he later took on missions to clear out space pirates or annihilate rebel camps, those guys' lairs would have no hidden treasures!

What you buy with your own money—how could it be as satisfying as what you take?

Having made up his mind, Qin Feng hesitated no longer and placed the order directly.

[Confirm payment of 5000 contribution points to purchase "Minglong I-Type" Multi-Functional Tactical Power Armor?]

"Confirmed."

Next, Qin Feng found another piece of equipment in the dazzling list that he considered equally cost-effective and essential.

It was a reinforced small personal aircraft shaped like a deep-sea ray, its entire body a dark blue.

["Bluefin" C-3 Type High-Speed Assault Aircraft]

[Features: Equipped with a 'Twilight' Type II psychic shield generator, which can be actively activated to effectively defend against most fifth-grade long-range psychic weapon attacks. Has a three-stage overload acceleration device, with a maximum speed that can easily break free from most planets' gravity and reach space stations.]

[Price: 1000 contribution points]

This thing was also a life-saving tool for interstellar missions.

With it, Qin Feng could quickly escape, and the defense shield could prevent being shot down during the escape—very good.

"Purchase."

Finally, Qin Feng glanced at his original subspace storage unit, which was not large, only a few cubic meters.

He knew that this aircraft definitely could not fit into his "novice version" storage unit.

So he spent another 200 contribution points to buy a larger subspace storage unit, ten meters in length, width, and height, replacing his original one.

After doing all this, Qin Feng looked contentedly at his account, which had shrunk significantly again.

[Contribution Balance: 29 points]

"Ah..."

Qin Feng looked at this number and couldn't help letting out a happy yet helpless sigh.

"Back to square one overnight..."

Qin Feng had become a complete pauper again.

Yet his heart was filled with unprecedented satisfaction and anticipation.

Because, in the next second after he completed the payment,

a flash of light appeared in his newly purchased subspace storage unit.

Two brand-new "big toys," full of cold technological sense and violent aesthetics, lay quietly there.

Qin Feng's mind stirred.

In the next instant, a set of massive, ferocious and imposing dark silver power armor materialized out of thin air, splitting into hundreds of individual modules that, as if alive, swiftly covered his entire body!

"Click! Click, click! Clack—!"

A series of crisp, metallic sounds of interlocking gears, full of mechanical texture, rang out in his ears, one after another.

Shoulder guards, chest plate, arm guards, leg guards...

Every single piece fit perfectly against his body with uncanny precision.

When the final piece—the helmet, shaped like a snarling dragon's head—descended slowly, enveloping his head completely,

a steel giant, standing a full three and a half meters tall, exuding an aura of iron-blooded slaughter and martial might, replaced Qin Feng, standing silently in the center of the training chamber!

The design of this "Roaring Dragon Type I" power armor was steeped in a raw, imposing grandeur.

The broad, heavy shoulder guards, like two small fortresses, were carved with snarling, coiled Eastern dragon reliefs.

The layered chest plate, with its Gothic architectural style, perfectly protected all his vital points.

And the massive, pillar-like power legs, along with the engine-like power pack on his back, spewing pale blue flames, imbued it with an unparalleled sense of strength and oppressive force!

"Clack—"

The helmet settled into place.

"Hmm..."

With a faint hum of electrical current, a pale blue holographic heads-up display (HUD) interface, filled with futuristic data, quietly lit up before his eyes.

Vital signs, energy reserves, weapon systems, radar scans...

All the data was clear at a glance.

Qin Feng tried moving his arms and legs.

A terrifying surge of power, several times greater than his own natural strength, instantly flooded back from every limb and joint!

"A 45% boost in overall physical attributes—truly fearsome."

Qin Feng marveled.

Then he stored the "Bluefin" aircraft into his storage unit.

Secluded cultivation: a year and a half.

Tower trials and tempering: a year and a half.

Summing up experience: half a year.

Now, another three and a half years had passed.

He was already over sixty years old.

But his strength had reached an unprecedented peak.

Everything was ready.

It was time to take on missions, to earn the contribution points that would support him in climbing to even greater heights!

He reopened the subspace network, about to tap on the now vastly different mission list.

Just then,

the icon in the upper right corner of his personal terminal, representing "emergency communication," suddenly began flashing an intensely piercing blood-red light at a frantic, heart-wrenching frequency unlike anything before!

At the same time, a barrage of private messages flooded in, scrolling like a torrent!

The senders were Xiong Yanfu, Lei Meng, and Shi Potian!

Qin Feng's heart gave a violent lurch!

A powerful, overwhelming sense of foreboding, like icy tides, instantly engulfed him completely!

He opened the latest encrypted message from Shi Potian.

The message was very short.

But every word struck his heart like a red-hot, poison-tipped dagger!

"Old Qin! Shi Dang has fallen—he's become a devotee of Khorne! He's betrayed us!"

"I've lost both arms. Xiong Yanfu was cut in half and gravely wounded, just rescued. Tiemu lost an arm."

"Lei Meng fell saving us."

"Already reported to the mentor. Come to my dorm immediately!"

The sending time was clearly displayed at the end.

—Just a few seconds ago.
