Qin Feng carefully and meticulously a.n.a.lyzed everything, electing only to buy those that were inconspicuous – he wanted to keep his ident.i.ty of a dark ability user well hidden.

Once the strengthening potions that he had with him were all traded, Qin Feng returned to the hotel with several bags of goods.

“Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!” Xiaobai jumped out of his pocket excitedly, wagging its tail.

“Are you a dog?” wondered Qin Feng as he studied the little creature carefully. It seemed to have changed a lot by now: its fur was fluffier than ever, almost doubled its size since it was born. It had dark, ebony eyes, a pointy mouth, and a s.h.a.ggy tail that’s unlike a dog’s¹.

Yes, somehow, it bore an uncanny resemblance to the Pomeranian that Qin Feng saw back at his old alliance. It belonged to a rich lady over there.

“Ah, whatever. I’ll still keep you no matter what you are!”

This little creature saved his life. If he could not take care of this little beast, now that he was born again, it would be nothing but a shameful waste!

Qin Feng took out an ability core and tossed it to Xiaobai. The little creature hugged the energy core the size of a marble and started licking it vigorously. The sphere shrunk before his eyes.

This was a shock to Qin Feng. Xiaobai was absorbing the energy core! Its potential was boundless and absolutely to be reckoned with.

After Xiaobai had finished eating the energy core, it fell into a deep sleep. Qin Feng, on the other hand, did not rest. He took out the Guan Yin pendant and studied it.

Ancient cultures have been continuously pa.s.sed down through the generations, and here, everyone knew that Guan Yin pendants were used for protection.

Mythical wild animals such as the Taotie and the nine sons of the dragon were expertly carved into the jet-black jade stone, eventually weaving together to take the form of the G.o.ddess.

Qin Feng carefully put pressure on the pendant. A loud snap followed, and a crack formed right down the middle of Guan Yin, revealing a thin mesh inside.

“It’s true!” Even though the extremely thin mesh was finer than silk threads, it was very strong. Qin Feng gently pulled it out, and when he spread it open, it was a good 1 meter long and half a meter wide. On the scroll were small, tightly packed words.

Its name was displayed clearly at the top: Asteroid a.s.similation.

The anti-human alliance consisted of dangerous S-ranked people. They included the Ancient Warriors and the cannibal Liu Meng’s Asteroid a.s.similation.

This Neigong also earned the moniker the ancient martial arts alliance called ‘ancient martial arts’ first evil cultivation method,’ and was S-ranked.

Before Qin Feng’s rebirth, an elect like Liu Meng could stab Qin Feng to death with one finger. Other than just taking revenge on that organization, the one thing that Qin Feng wanted more than anything was to kill Liu Meng.

If it were not for the fact that he saw Liu Meng as an enemy, how could he possibly have understood the guy?

At around this time, before Qin Feng was reborn, Liu Meng was only an eighteen-year-old who had just graduated from the intermediate academy. Although he found out about his Ancient Warrior’s physique, his combat value was low because of all things; he was very lazy. He was also too scared to come face to face with a wild beast.

There were several people like that in the colony – the thugs and goons of the society.

Be that as it may, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. With that, they simply needed to blackmail the average person to live a good life.

Once, after robbing an elderly man, he found the Asteroid a.s.similation’s skill book among the broken goods.

That right. That was the old man who sold Qin Feng the Guanyin pendant.

Liu Meng found the Asteroid a.s.similation skill very easy to learn. Once and for all, he could absorb other people’s Neigong and make it his own. It was the ultimate skill every ability user coveted.

Within a few days, Liu Meng targeted other people once he had gotten the hang of the skill, with one of them happening to be Liu Derong, the director of the orphanage.

The director was also an Ancient Warrior, but at the age of eighty, he was growing weaker, not mentioning carrying with him the deep-seated problems result of umpteen years on the battlefield. He had an inner force protecting him, which was why it was not evident from the outside. The truth was, his strength had degenerated greatly through the cruel hand of time.
