Chapter 98: Fighting Sun He Again

Chapter 98: The Second Battle with Sun He

An hour later, Qin Feng finished his cultivation.

He exhaled a long breath of stale air, and even his breath carried a faint blue energy halo.

Just a single high-grade energy potion had boosted his body-tempering technique proficiency by nearly two hundred points.

The effect was nothing short of terrifying.

After cultivation, a fierce hunger gnawed at his stomach.

Qin Feng took a shower, changed clothes, and headed to the cafeteria.

...

Inside the cafeteria, the noise was still deafening.

Qin Feng spotted Qian Duoduo and Shi Potian at once.

He walked over with his tray.

"Old Qin, over here!"

Qian Duoduo was animatedly boasting to Shi Potian about something, but when he saw Qin Feng, he waved enthusiastically.

When Qin Feng set his tray on the table, Qian Duoduo's voice cut off abruptly.

His eyes locked onto Qin Feng's tray, bulging like copper bells.

Qin Feng's tray was completely different from theirs.

Ordinary students had white trays; C-grade contracts got blue ones.

But Qin Feng's tray was pure black, forged from some unknown alloy, its surface with a matte texture, understated yet luxurious.

The food in the tray was even more extravagant.

A palm-sized steak, sizzling with oil, its surface a perfect golden brown, exuding an exotic aroma.

Beside it were a few ruby-like berries and a cup of thick, glowing liquid like liquid gold.

Just one glance revealed the immense energy it contained.

"Holy crap... Old Qin,"

Qian Duoduo swallowed hard, pointing at the meal, stammering, "Is... is this a B-grade energy meal?"

"Yeah."

Qin Feng nodded, picked up his knife and fork, and began to eat.

The steak melted on his tongue, turning into a warm current that surged into his stomach, quickly replenishing the energy he had consumed during cultivation.

"I'm so jealous!"

Qian Duoduo wailed, "Tell me, what good stuff does your B-grade contract come with?"

Even the usually aloof Shi Potian cast a curious glance.

Qin Feng ate calmly as he spoke: "Three high-grade energy potions per month, three high-grade body repair baths, three mid-grade mental potions, and mentor guidance sessions. Starting next month, the number of potions and baths will increase by one each month."

"High-grade energy potions? High-grade repair baths?"

Qian Duoduo perked up immediately. He quickly opened his wrist terminal, entered the Imperial Martial Exchange official website, and began checking prices.

His fingers flew across the virtual screen.

Soon, the expression on his face shifted from curiosity to shock.

"I... am I seeing this right?"

His voice trembled.

He turned the light screen toward Qin Feng and Shi Potian.

On the screen, the official listed prices from the Imperial Exchange were clearly displayed.

[Item: High-grade Energy Potion]

[Price: 500,000 Imperial Credits per vial]

[Item: High-grade Deep Repair Bath]

[Price: 500,000 Imperial Credits per pack]

"One vial... five hundred thousand?"

Qian Duoduo's eyes nearly popped out, "One bath pack... also five hundred thousand?"

Qin Feng calmly ate his steak and nodded. "So... for you, just these two items alone, that's three vials plus three packs, six total... six times five hundred thousand..."

Qian Duoduo counted on his fingers, then suddenly gasped sharply, his voice cracking.

"Three million!!!"

"You get three million Imperial Credits worth of resources from the school every month just for these two things?!"

He stared at Qin Feng, his eyes full of shock.

"And next month it'll be four million, the month after five million... Holy crap! Old Qin! This is insane!!"

Qian Duoduo clutched his head, looking like his worldview had been shattered.

Three million a month—that was already the price of a villa in an average neighborhood.

And this was just the resources Qin Feng consumed in a single month.

Shi Potian, though silent, unconsciously tightened his grip on his chopsticks.

He stared at Qin Feng's pure black tray, a glint of determination to catch up flashing in his eyes.

—

Qin Feng simply finished the last bite of food on his tray.

The abundant energy from the B-grade meal made every cell in his body feel vibrant.

Just then, several figures walked straight toward their table.

The one in front, tall and with a resolute face, was none other than Sun He.

Beside him were three or four upperclassmen with steady auras.

One of them had particularly sharp eyes. As soon as Qian Duoduo saw him, he lowered his voice and said to Qin Feng, "Old Qin, that's Feng Ruyun, a tough guy from senior year. Back in the Qiming School League veteran match, he helped Senior Sun He settle a score and killed that student from Jinlong Martial High."

Qin Feng nodded slightly, his gaze calm as he looked at the approaching group.

Sun He's eyes first fell on the pure black tray in front of Qin Feng.

A flicker of surprise crossed his face, then he broke into a smile.

"Junior Qin Feng, congratulations."

Sun He's voice was hearty, "It's only been a few days, and you've already been promoted to a B-grade contract. At this rate, we old-timers can't even hope to keep up."

"Senior Sun He."

Qin Feng stood up and nodded, "Just luck."

"Senior, how is your recovery from the league injury?"

Qin Feng asked.

"Fully healed."

Sun He rotated his shoulder, and a crisp crack sounded from the joint. "After breaking down, I rebuilt—slight improvement. My staff technique has flowed naturally to perfection. Right now, I feel my hands are on fire, and I'm itching to test how much of my strength I've regained."

As he spoke, his gaze burned toward Qin Feng, his fighting intent utterly undisguised.

"You just claimed the Rookie King reward, so your strength has soared. I've just recovered, and I'm in peak form. How about it—care to spar with me in the private domain for a couple of rounds?"

His words were frank and direct, with no roundabout phrasing.

Hearing this, a glimmer of light sparked in Qin Feng's eyes.

He had just been elevated to Golden Standard Human Level II, and he needed a worthy opponent to test his current capabilities.

The memory of his crushing defeat at Sun He's hands was still vivid. Now was the perfect opportunity.

"I couldn't ask for more."

Qin Feng replied succinctly.

"Good! Refreshing!"

Sun He let out a hearty laugh.

The two were in immediate agreement, setting the match for five minutes later in the private domain arena of Qiming First High School.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Breaking news!"

Beside them, Qian Duoduo practically bounced with excitement the moment the pact was made.

He leaped up, almost dancing, and swiftly opened his terminal to log into the campus forum.
