Chapter 151 - The Invincible Hero (1/2)
The sound of the hooligans cheering for Xin Jiasheng erupted in the hall.
Qin Feng remained unyielding despite the lack of support.
His lack of reaction backfired on Xin Jiasheng, who was already nearing his limits. It felt to him as if he had smashed his fists into a pile of soft cotton, doing zero damage to his opponent.
“What’s the matter? Are you pulling out now? Your battle numbers are nowhere to be seen. Chickening out I suppose?”
Xin Jiasheng proudly displayed his battle number which quantified his raw strength, internal strength and other specifications. As arrogant as he might be, his stats clearly stated that he was a “talent-cla.s.s” challenger, meaning he was quite the capable fighter.
His t.i.tle was not given to himself which was kind of surprising given his narcissistic personality. It was obtained via a unique test available only in this combat pit. The different cla.s.ses of fighters were, respectively from the bottom, average-cla.s.s, elite-cla.s.s, talent-cla.s.s, hero-cla.s.s and lastly, the invincible-cla.s.s.
One could say that for Xin Jiasheng’s current abilities, the chance of advancing into an E-tier user in the near future was pretty high. Should that day come, he would undoubtedly consolidate his position in Chengyang City.
Qin Feng was not chickening out. It was just that he did not have a battle number.
After all, it was his first time coming to such a place.
Qin Feng switched on his communicator and linked up with the public network.
“Welcome to the Chengyang Colosseum. Our Colosseum proudly uses state-of-the…”
The voice sounded warm and welcoming. It must have been officially recorded using professional equipment specifically for the combat pit. The voice thoroughly explained to the newcomer the requirements of entering the combat pit.
Xin Jiasheng and his goons were speechless.
“He’s a first-timer?”
“Hey, maybe he ain’t from Chengyang!”
After coming back to his senses, Xin Jiasheng’s anger only grew larger.
For a member of the great Xin family to be casually challenged on the streets by a literal n.o.body! This was an outright a.s.sault on his pride!
“Country b.u.mpkin! I guess you’re new to Chengyang Colony huh? No wonder you’re challenging me! I’ll make sure you die in the most agonizing way possible!”
As the saying goes, even the strongest dragon cannot defeat a mere snake that knows his surroundings. Qin Feng, being the outsider that offended Xin Jiasheng, was no doubt, heading toward his own death!
The people standing around could already foresee what was about to unfold!
“Son, you don’t need to listen to every word this thing says. There’s a machine over there that gauges apt.i.tude users’ abilities. It’ll scan your entire body once you stand on it. You’ll get your own battle number and it’ll be announced when it’s time for you to get on the battle stage. You’ll be initiating the fight with Young Master Xin, so you just need to confirm that the number called matches yours!”
Hearing the man’s words saved Qin Feng quite a significant amount of time. Without hesitation, he stepped onto the equipment placed within the great hall.
It was just like what the man had said. A beam of light from the machine scanned Qin Feng from head to toe.
In the next moment, a series of beeping noises echoed across the hall.
[Bone age test: 16 years old]
[Raw muscle strength: Hero-cla.s.s]
Hero-cla.s.s. He was a dragon among men, a challenger chosen by the heavens!
What was more was that Qin Feng was only sixteen! At most, it must have been only three months since his powers had awakened.
Without allowing these people time to react, the machine read out loud.
[Consciousness waves detected.]
[Consciousness: Hero-cla.s.s]
“What?”
The onlookers started questioning if the machine had been busted!
This was because the raw muscle strength that the machine calculated represented one’s overall physical strength. For Qin Feng to possess such levels of power, they were sure that he was an ancient warrior.
And yet, it was hard to imagine that his consciousness was hero-cla.s.s. The men could not believe their ears.
On the other side of the hall, a stunned expression surfaced on Xin Jiasheng’s face.
He had been constantly provided with an endless amount of resources since young and it was only due to this that his abilities were able to advance into the tier of F6, the capability of a “talent-cla.s.s” fighter. This came as no easy feat, even for him.
It was precisely because of his achievement that Xin Jiasheng acted the way he did, looking down on Qin Feng as if he was nothing but a bug on the ground.
No one else should be able to reach his level, let alone surpa.s.s him.
However, right at this moment, all the confidence he had built up was shattered into a million pieces in the face of Qin Feng.
Just what kind of a monster was he? Could a mere sixteen year old be able to command powers that matched his own?
It was not over yet!
[Ancient Warrior Disposition Detected.]
[Internal Strength: Invincible-cla.s.s.]
This was the pebble that would result in a thousand waves!
