Chapter 87: Generous Challenge Rewards
The Sand Demon instantly sensed that sothing was wrong.
But at that mont, Qin Feng dove directly into the sandpile and pressed the remote control button.
Three ultra-micro nuclear warheads detonated simultaneously.
Boom~~!!
The heavens and the earth trembled!
A blinding explosion lit up the entire sky, drowning out all other light.
For an instant, everything turned black.
Amidst the deafening explosion, the anguished screams of both the Sand Demon and Qin Feng echoed together.
In the next mont, the world slowly regained its brightness, and a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
A colossal crater had ford on the ground, and countless grains of sand had lted into glass-like substances.
A dense dust cloud enveloped the land.
Through the swirling smoke and dust, the Sand Demon stood, its body in tatters, staring ahead.
Several kiloters away, Qin Feng writhed in the sand.
At this mont, he was covered in blood, his appearance utterly wretched.
His Blazing Fire Armor, which had shielded him from the blast, was completely destroyed, reduced to broken fragnts hanging off his body.
The intense heat from the explosion, reaching tens of thousands of degrees, had burned away all his hair and eyebrows.
The destructive power of these nuclear warheads was simply terrifying.
Even though they were the weakest kind of ultra-micro nuclear warheads, three detonating at once was enough to kill a Four-Star early-stage expert.
In reality, Qin Feng had been thousands of ters away from the blast center and had burrowed into the sand to reduce the impact.
Yet, he was still severely injured, barely clinging to life.
Luckily, his body had been strengthened by the four elental energies and further enhanced by Level 5 Gene Serum, making his physical resilience comparable to a Four-Star expert.
Moreover, he had preemptively absorbed a beast core, preventing imdiate death.
Qin Feng staggered to his feet.
Not far away, the Sand Demon slowly collapsed.
Before dying, its eyes were filled with disbelief.
How is this human still alive?!
The next second, its body disintegrated, leaving behind several treasures on the ground.
Haha!!
Success!!
The Sand Demon was slain within ten minutes—mission complete!
Qin Feng was overjoyed.
At the sa ti, he felt relieved.
Earlier, he had asked Liu Yan about these ultra-micro nuclear warheads and learned that a single one was not enough to kill a Four-Star expert.
Only a triple strike would work.
Thus, he had used three at once—and it had paid off!
Right, I need to collect the spoils of battle!
Qin Feng quickly swallowed several beast cores and rushed forward.
His mission was complete, and his ti in this world was limited. He had to secure his loot as soon as possible.
As he moved, the God Level Devouring ability activated.
The beast core’s energy continuously nded his wounds.
His shriveled, burnt muscles regenerated, his charred skin shed, and even his burned hair and eyebrows began to grow back.
By the ti he reached the massive crater at the explosion site, his injuries had mostly healed.
This God Level Devouring’s healing ability is incredible!
Haha!! Got the treasure!
Qin Feng picked up the three items left behind by the Sand Demon, his heart filled with joy.
This was a huge windfall!
The three treasures were: a crystal core, a skill stone and a mysterious black sand with spiritual energy
The crystal core was Level 19, equivalent to a Four-Star early-stage beast core.
Qin Feng recycled it in the system shop and received 3 billion universal credits in return.
This made him ecstatic.
Making money is too easy!
Just this one item alone far exceeded the cost of the nuclear warheads and the Blazing Battle Armor!
He had struck gold.
If hunting Four-Star beasts is this profitable, I should do it more often!
However, Four-Star beasts, like Four-Star Elental Masters, were incredibly rare.
Qin Feng then examined the skill stone.
Item Na: Skill Stone (Earth Escape)
Category: Rare Artifact
Note: Cannot be devoured (Requires Earth Elent Physique)
“Damn, I can’t absorb this one!”
He had no choice but to store it away for later, hoping to acquire an Earth Elent talent in the future.
Next, he examined the mysterious black sand. A light screen appeared in his vision.
Item Na: Reverse Flow Sand
Category: Primordial Weapon
Grade: Mid-Tier
Effect: Special Type (Both Offensive and Defensive)
Note: Cannot be used (Requires Earth Elent Energy)
“This is a huge score!”
Qin Feng was thrilled.
Special-type Primordial Weapons were extrely rare.
Low-tier Primordial Weapons almost never had special properties.
Only Mid-tier Primordial Weapons had a chance to possess special abilities, making them 2 to 3 tis more valuable than regular Primordial Weapons.
For example, normal Mid-tier Primordial Weapons were worth 10-50 billion credits.
Special-type ones, however, could reach 50-100 billion!
Since the Reverse Flow Sand had survived a nuclear explosion unscathed, its value was certainly on the higher end—possibly close to 100 billion!
This realization made Qin Feng break out in a cold sweat.
If the Sand Demon had used the Reverse Flow Sand’s defensive ability, it might not have died!
His victory had co down to luck.
Either way, the rewards were amazing!
The only downside was that both treasures were useless to him.
Because he didn’t have Earth Elent Physique.
“I wonder if I’ll get an Earth Elent talent as a reward?”
Qin Feng muttered to himself.
Just then, the system notification chid.
“Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing your first One-Star God-Tier Challenge! Rewards are being distributed…”
“Ding! Reward: Wind Elent Star Mark Fragnt ×1!”
“Ding! Reward: Thunder Elent Star Mark Fragnt ×1!”
“Ding! Reward: Fire Elent Star Mark Fragnt ×1!”
“Ding! Reward: Ice Elent Star Mark Fragnt ×1!”
“Ding! Reward: Advanced Enhancent Stone ×1!”
“Ding! Reward: Skill Stone ×1!”
“Ding! Reward: Fire Elent Talent Booster (Heaven-Tier) ×1!”
“Ding! Reward: Ice Elent Talent Booster (Heaven-Tier) ×1!”
The rewards are insanely generous!
“As expected, I got a Fire Talent Booster! Huh? And an Ice one too?”
Qin Feng was overjoyed.
These were exactly what he needed!
The inspector from the Alliance was about to arrive, so he had to enhance his fire attribute talent as quickly as possible.
There was also the ice attribute enhancer—he could give it to Chuchu so the little girl could achieve a good score.
His ice attribute had already reached the supre talent level, so there was no need for further improvent.
At that mont, Qin Feng focused his mind, and a red potion appeared in his hand.
It was the Fire Attribute Talent Enhancer (Heaven-Tier).
Without hesitation, Qin Feng drank it.
“Ding! Talent enhancent in progress…”
As the potion entered his body, it transford into a warm energy that surged into his limbs and bones, silently reshaping his physique.
At tis, it felt tingly and itchy; at other tis, it was warm and soothing, an unusual yet comfortable sensation.
Qin Feng couldn’t help but close his eyes, imrsing himself in the transformation.
This feeling lasted for several minutes.
“Ding! Congratulations, host! Fire attribute talent enhancent successful, now at Genius level!”
Great!
Qin Feng opened his eyes, filled with joy.
His fire attribute talent had reached the level he desired.
Unfortunately, it hadn’t yet reached the supre level…
This Heaven-grade enhancer was still a tier below the Divine-grade one.
Qin Feng felt slightly unsatisfied.
He estimated that if he consud another Heaven-grade enhancer, his fire attribute could reach the supre talent level.
However, he wasn’t in a rush for that.
After all, he still had another opportunity to challenge the One-Star Divine-Level Challenge, which offered two chances.
The next challenge reward might contain another one.
Next, Qin Feng proceeded to absorb the remaining rewards.
“Ding! Successfully devoured Wind Attribute Star Pattern Fragnt, second star pattern cohesion progress 40%…”
As expected, these star pattern fragnts accelerated the cohesion of his second star pattern.
Delighted, Qin Feng continued devouring them.
“Ding! Successfully devoured Thunder Attribute Star Pattern Fragnt, second star pattern cohesion progress 40%…”
“Ding! Successfully devoured Ice Attribute Star Pattern Fragnt…”
“Ding! …”
“Ding! Successfully devoured Skill Stone, obtained skill—’Ice Sealing Technique’!”
Ice Sealing Technique: Instantly freezes the target or slows their movents.
Another new skill! And it was a control-type skill, exactly what Qin Feng was lacking.
Qin Feng was pleased.
His abilities were becoming more well-rounded, and his overall strength was improving rapidly.
At that mont, he focused his mind again, and a silver spirit stone appeared in his hand.
This was his final reward.
A glowing screen popped up before his eyes.
Item Na: Advanced Enhancent Stone
Category: Rare Item (Extrely Rare)
Effect: Upgrades a normal skill into an advanced skill.
“Hiss~! This is a real treasure!”
Qin Feng took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitent.
What was an advanced skill?
When an Elentalist reached the Six-Star Rank, they could form a Six-Pointed Star Array, awakening an advanced skill.
Simply put, only Six-Star Elentalists and above could master advanced skills.
Qin Feng’s Berserk Strike, Ice Concealnt, and Ice Sealing Technique were all just ordinary skills.
But with the Advanced Enhancent Stone, he could instantly obtain an advanced skill.
“System, upgrade ‘Ice Sealing Technique’!”
“Ding! Enhancing…”
The Advanced Enhancent Stone dissolved, and a refreshing sensation spread throughout Qin Feng’s body, making him feel extrely comfortable.
“Ding! Enhancent successful! ‘Ice Sealing Technique’ has evolved into ‘Absolute Ice Seal’.”
Absolute Ice Seal: An advanced skill capable of instantly freezing anything, reaching absolute zero, with imnse power.
Qin Feng quickly opened his Challenge Interface.
Challenger: Qin Feng (King-Level)
Level: 9 (One-Star Grand Completion)
Wind Attribute Realm (Supre): One-Star Grand Completion (Second Star Pattern 47%)
Thunder Attribute Realm (Supre): One-Star Grand Completion (Second Star Pattern 43%)
Ice Attribute Realm (Supre): One-Star Grand Completion (Second Star Pattern 43%)
Fire Attribute Realm (Genius): One-Star Grand Completion (Second Star Pattern 93.2%)
Innate Skill: God Level Devouring
Combat Skills: Berserk Strike
Support Skills: Ice Concealnt Technique, Absolute Ice Seal (Advanced Skill)
Combat Power Index: 8000 Points
After reviewing his stats, Qin Feng smiled.
His Fire Attribute’s Second Star Pattern Cohesion had reached 93.2%, on the verge of breaking through.
The other three attributes had also progressed significantly, which satisfied him greatly.
However, his title was still at King-Level—it seed advancing to the next rank was now much harder than before.
Satisfied, Qin Feng closed the interface.
Just then, his remaining ti expired.
A flash of white light enveloped him, and he was transported out of the Challenge Space.
