Chapter 528: Chapter 197: Seeing the World! Extreme Enlightenment Stele! Meeting Shi Dang Again
All of these were spoils he had "hunted" during the official competition, relying on on his own formidable strength.
’This time, I’ve reaped various resources worth a total of nearly five million Contribution Points.’
Qin Feng silently made an estimate in his mind.
’Most of them are consumables that are practically hard currency in cultivation, like the ’Special Grade Type-III Ultra-Concentrated Spiritual Energy Recovery Potion’ and ’High-Efficiency Mental Power Recovery Potion’.’
’With this vast supply of resources as support, I won’t have to worry about cultivation resources at least until I’ve raised my life force index to the ’second great limit’ of thirty-six thousand points.’
This was a reassuring conclusion.
For Qin Feng, a man with the attributes of a Gan Di, the most anxiety-inducing thing had never been the monotony and pain of cultivation, but rather the scarcity of "resources."
Now that his resource reserves were full, he could once again enter his efficient "secluded, arduous cultivation" mode without any distractions.
However, Qin Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. ’Regarding my Mental Power cultivation, I can’t just follow the old routine and take it slow anymore.’
In his battle with Lei Qianjue, the man’s terrifying One Heart, Nine Uses saber technique had left far too deep an impression on him.
It was no longer a simple gap in skill, but an almost overwhelming advantage.
’I must start deliberately increasing the proportion of my Mental Power cultivation from now on.’
Qin Feng’s gaze became incomparably resolute.
’Otherwise, by the time my life force index is where it needs to be, I’ll find my Slaughter Realm is far behind opponents of the same level because my Mental Power isn’t strong enough.’
’Even worse, if I can’t even meet the most basic requirement of ’breaking one hundred in Mental Power’ and am delayed in breaking through to a ’planetary-level’ lifeform... that would be the most foolish case of putting the cart before the horse.’
He immediately revised his cultivation plan for the foreseeable future.
First, he would increase his daily practice of the "Great Sun Visualization Method" and the "Emperor Meditation Method" from one hour to over five hours.
Second, during his daily sparring with killing techniques, he would consciously try to train in "One Heart, Two Uses" and "One Heart, Three Uses."
With his plan set, Qin Feng opened the internal resource library of Cannan Star Martial Arts University.
He planned to acquire a new Fourth-level Killing Technique for himself.
Although he had already cultivated Heavy Spear to the Control Realm, it was ultimately only a "One Heart, One Use" killing technique.
To master the Multi-tasking skill more quickly, exchanging for a killing technique inheritance specifically centered on it was undoubtedly the most efficient path.
Soon, amidst the dazzling array of killing techniques, he found a spear technique that perfectly matched his current needs.
[Killing Technique: Triple Spear (Fourth-level)]
[Description: Created by a Master of Spear Art from the Imperial Military, its core lies in stacking spear momentum for a triple burst of power. It requires a Mental Power-Spiritual Energy aggregation module operating at a maximum of One Heart, Three Uses. It is immensely powerful and extremely difficult to cultivate.]
[Exchange Price: 30,000 Contribution Points]
Qin Feng glanced at his remaining Contribution Points and exchanged for the killing technique.
His Contribution Points were now at zero.
All preparations were complete.
’I wonder how that wretched beast is doing.’
Shi Dang.
Qin Feng opened the university’s mission system and skillfully found the assassination mission targeting Shi Dang.
The mission panel was still that familiar, grim dark red.
But its contents had changed considerably.
[Target: Shi Dang (Believer of Khorne)]
[Mission Status: In Progress]
[Current Takers: 17,211,233]
[Mission Failures: 32 times]
Seeing the high number of "32 failures," Qin Feng’s pupils constricted slightly.
This meant that during this period, at least thirty-two Martial Artists had suffered a crushing defeat at Shi Dang’s hands!
His gaze continued downward.
Below, on the mission panel, was the latest intelligence update on Shi Dang.
[Latest Target Intelligence]
[Current Life Force Index: Approx. 28,000.0]
[Known Slaughter Realm: Mastery of at least three Fourth-level Killing Techniques (Perfection), one Fifth Level Killing Technique (Minor Accomplishment)]
[Last Known Location: Imperial Border, Abandoned Mining Planet K-197]
[Target Movement Analysis: His current trajectory leads directly to the Chaotic Star Realm outside the Empire’s territory—the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races.]
...
Looking at this latest intelligence, Qin Feng’s face was completely expressionless.
He just stared quietly at that string of cold numbers—"Life Force Index, twenty-eight thousand."
Twenty-eight thousand...
Shi Dang’s strength had actually grown to such a terrifying degree.
’But I can now easily cross the threshold of the ’first great limit’ and become a Seventh-Level Mountain and Sea Martial Artist. Reaching the great limit of 36,000 for my life force index will also be a quick matter.’
’The gap between us is getting smaller and smaller.’
Qin Feng closed the mission panel.
And threw himself into his cultivation!
「The scene changed.」
Meanwhile, Qin Feng had once again thrown himself into his monotonous, frenzied, and secluded cultivation.

Within the Martial Hero District of Cannan Star Martial Arts University.
A vast, boundless bamboo forest of verdant green rippled under the gentle breeze, like waves on a green ocean.
At this moment, two figures were seated upright in a stone pavilion.
One of them was none other than Qin Feng’s mentor, Yu Han.
He still had that same detached and otherworldly air, dressed in a simple white Martial Arts Uniform. He was unhurriedly brewing a pot of fragrant Spirit Tea with crystal-clear spring water drawn from a nearby stream.
