Master of the End Times

Chapter 889: Troubled Advancement

Both of the spatial pearls were definitely valuable items for Bai Li.

Despite knowing that, all of the others would not voice their intention of having Bai Li hand over the spatial pearls.

The remaining ones were distributed to the others and the meeting finally came to an end.

Before leaving the place, Long Yunyi came forward and asked quietly, “Qin Feng, how many stars have you actually consolidated from your internal solid force?”

Long Yunyi had only managed to get a glimpse of it and did not know the actual number of stars that Qin Feng had consolidated.

Qin Feng assumed that Long Yunyi was trying to gauge his capability, and perhaps his internal energy was already on par with an S9-tier powerful figure. However, after seeing Li Xiao’s internal energy full moon, Qin Feng was even more confused. It seemed like something was not right.

Qin Feng answered, “I have consolidated nine stars!”

Long Yunyi was struck by a mixture of feelings, and exclaimed, “I am not sure whether you should consider that as fortunate or not!”

Qin Feng frowned and asked, “Why would that be unfortunate for me?”

From Qin Feng’s view, now that he could release his internal energy and be comparable against the majestic power of an S9-tier ancient warrior, why would Long Yunyi still have such doubts?

Long Yunyi looked at Qin Feng’s expression, and he could not resist his urge to ask, “Could it be that you do not know about it? Li Xiao has strong abilities and understandings on neigong martial practices, he is a gifted and able person. With the complete support from the Li family, Prince Xiao is like being buoyed by the entire fortune from the family. But after all these years, he is still an S3-tier ancient warrior. The energy demand for his advancement is indeed too overwhelming. It is the same for all three of his internal energy stars, and when compared to him, you are facing triple the difficulty!”

“What?” Qin Feng looked at Long Yunyi in surprise. A moment of realization struck his mind, and he seemed to have understood something!

‘No wonder when I was consolidating the stars, the internal energy stars were still absorbing internal energy from my dantian. If I were to only focus my consolidation on one internal energy star, I would definitely become an S9-tier powerful figure. But now, I am probably just an S-tier. However, I have nine frozen stars that the others do not have!’

Qin Feng reassured himself, but obviously he was not going to point out his own mistake.

“Other than an ancient warrior, I am also a dark ability user that is capable of a unique dark ability that allows me to absorb energy and advance quickly. Perhaps, my situation will be slightly better than Prince Xiao’s!”

Qin Feng explained the situation to Long Yunyi.

“No wonder!” Long Yunyi nodded in agreement. Everyone was curious to find out about the secret behind Qin Feng’s shocking advancement speed. If it was replicable, it would definitely be a major advantage for anyone. It could even restructure the state of the Huaxia Alliance.

By then, it would be an era overcrowded by hero class, and talent class would be regarded as dirt-cheap.

Qin Feng had killed an S-tier in the battle, and it was no doubt that everyone would want to find out how he transformed from a B8-tier to an A-tier aptitude user.

His secrets were meticulously released whenever appropriate, but it was impossible for the others to mimic them and achieve the same results. Hence, it would gradually discourage the others from spying on him.

Dark ability users were indeed capable of absorbing energy from the others, but why would such people practice ancient warrior skills? And why would anyone build up their physical capabilities to be as powerful as Qin Feng?

If Qin Feng were to expose his Asteroid Assimilation, perhaps the S-tier figures would be tempted to fight for such a powerful ancient warrior skill!

Not that Qin Feng was afraid of them, but he did not want to cause too many deaths. Every one of his movements was like expanded butterfly wings. It might be alright for him to kill a G-tier ability user, but killing an S-tier would most probably be equivalent to causing a massive tsunami.

Of course, Qin Feng was still aiming to take down some of those S-tiers.

The idea flashed through quickly and Qin Feng continued the conversation with Long Yunyi, their conversation was mainly about practicing ancient warrior skills.

In the end, Long Yunyi asked the question about how Qin Feng managed to consolidate nine frozen stars.

That was the exact moment when the line of defense to safeguard Qin Feng’s secrets was stepped on.

“Not that I must find out about this, just that I am already an S-tier but I still have a lot of juniors that still have problems with consolidating internal energy. Therefore, perhaps there might be some experience that you can share!”

Long Yunyi tried to sound as genuine as possible.

Also, Long Ting had treated Qin Feng well earlier. He was allowed to make his selection on the spatial pearls, and he had accepted the favour.

“I consumed a large amount of gaea crystals. Let’s put it this way, I was the first one who discovered the gaea crystal mine and I made a tough decision to expand my internal energy dantian. Therefore, my internal energy foundation is much sturdier than the others. I have also obtained a Snow Jade Lotus from Master Hu San…”

Qin Feng was not telling the whole truth as he described his process of advancement.

Long Yunyi carefully listened and nodded. Regardless of whether it was the gaea crystals or the Snow Jade Lotus, those were easily obtainable by any S-tier.

Also, they might even be very effective.

Finally, Long Yunyi exclaimed, “Perhaps all of these are not the main reason. Most importantly, you are both an ancient warrior and also an ability user. Hence, both your consciousness and internal energy control are extremely powerful. It has allowed you to consolidate such a large number of internal energy stars, perhaps you are just favoured by God!”

“Well, I can only thank God then!”

It was a light cheerful conversation for both of them. When the conversation ended, Qin Feng then returned to the residence that was arranged by Long Ting.

In other words, it would be Qin Feng’s permanent residence from thereon.

It was a manor.

Although Qin Feng owned two major cities and controlled another four, he would certainly have his personal residence in each city. But after all, those were all located within cities. In order to accommodate the needs of the major public, those residences would not take up too much surface area in their build-up size.

But the tenth-floor residence in Dragon Capital was definitely different from the design of rowed villas. It was about the size of Qin Feng’s dark hill at the Fengli colony, and completely hidden from the sight of neighbours. When compared to the place where Nangong Shi had arranged for Qin Feng, it was much better.

The reason was because it was precisely an S-tier residence. Also, the surrounding neighbours were all S-tier figures.

After all, Qin Feng was already a Marshal!

Qin Feng led Bai Li to tour around their manor, only then they went back into the practice room where he took out the Godwill Atlas.

“Master Long has given me a reminder. Perhaps, it is because of my formidable consciousness that allowed me to consolidate nine frozen stars, especially the last one!”

With that in mind, Qin Feng began to practice on the Godwill Atlas. He should definitely not give up on practicing such skills.

Most importantly, Qin Feng was waiting for Long Ting to award him with the Marshal badge. Because of Qin Feng’s flashy performance, perhaps there were countless people that would want to enhance their ties with him. Qin Feng would rather focus on practising and not waste any time in socializing with any of those people.

At the same time, Qin Feng also had his plans on something bigger!

“He Tianxing, wonder if you can still push me around now?” Qin Feng’s eyes gleamed.
