Chapter 31 (2/2)

“I will keep it in mind, director!”

Everything Qin Feng did today had truly impressed the director. It was also the first time that Qin Feng witnessed the softer, more human side of Lin Derong. In this cruel world, it was not easy to become someone like Qin Feng.

4After that, the director was sent to the plantation courtesy of the patrol car. Qin Feng returned to the hotel as well. After enduring and braving battles from yesterday and today, Qin Feng’s Inner Force was tumbling inside his body. He could feel that he was now stronger. However good that may sound, an experienced ability user like Qin Feng knew that this was actually not right. True Inner Force was usually calm in one’s body. It would only start tumbling around when one started to channel it.

1After Qin Feng returned to his room, he sat on the floor with his legs crossed, focussing his entire mind on his Dantian. Just like his experience with the ability core, the image of the Dantian was materialized in his mind. The Dantian looked very different from an ability core. One usually imagined the ability core floating in a starry sky, but the Dantian looked like an empty space with four walls that were made of flesh. It was common to spot inner force floating within the walls and being transferred to other places.

5Ancient Warriors had been through hundreds of years of evolution. Usually, a beginner could feel the Inner Force floating within their bodies, as fine as a thread. It could travel between the blood vessels and nerves, using this as a network to travel the body. This, in turn, could significantly increase one’s power.

When a person’s Nei Threads reached a certain amount, they would turn into Qi Orbs. This was the sign of the evolution into an F-tier Ancient Warrior. Under normal circumstances, a person who possessed nine Nei Threads would be automatically qualified to call himself an F-tier ability user. The amount of Nei Threads determined the rank of the person in the group. In other words, there were varying degrees of strengths, where there could be a mighty ability user and also a mediocre ability user in the same category.

“I have about 15 Nei Threads now!”

All 15 of his Nei Threads were extremely thin. After summoning his willpower in an attempt to feel them, he found them all in different sizes. It was rather chaotic. He knew that things could take a worse turn if he did nothing about it.

However, it was extremely troublesome and time-consuming work tidying up one’s messed up Inner Force. Suddenly, he remembered a hypothesis he made earlier. Qin Feng immediately activated his special ability.

“Absorb!”

Subsequently, all his Nei Threads were being absorbed by something, gradually becoming thinner and thinner. Eventually, all of them had disappeared. All the Inner Force he had with him had come by really easy. All he needed to do was to defeat a few foes that were weaker than him.

1This made him feel a little better, ignoring all the Nei Threads that were gone from his body. On the contrary, he was actually worried about the somewhat bizarre side effects messy Nei Threads could bring.

After his Nei Threads were being absorbed, he could feel that his veins were filled with energy, and they expanded as well. Veins were typically the foundation of channeling Inner Force. With them becoming bigger, it would be easier and faster for Qin Feng to absorb Inner Force that was around his body.

After his veins were expanded, all his Inner Force came charging out from his Dantian to the upper Dantian located in the middle of his forehead! Though the ability core was thought to lay in one’s consciousness, there were schools of intellectuals that argued it was actually located at the upper Dantian.

All of Qin Feng’s Inner Forces were trying to enter the ability core, but it seemed like the ability core was rejecting them! As they attempted to penetrate the ability core, they were ejected and sent back to the lower Dantian. This process had converted 15 Nei Threads into 5 Nei Threads, albeit, extremely tough and stable ones.

1“Success! I can stop worrying about side effects of the Asteroid Assimilation skill! This will become my most powerful skill!”

Qin Feng was lit with excitement as he thought about these things. All of a sudden, he could feel a surge of energy bursting out from his mind. When he tried to figure out where it came from, he discovered that it was actually from Xiaobai!

“Xiaobai!”

Qin Feng turned around to look at Xiaobai, which was currently lying on the bed. In total, it had been asleep for 16 hours. The Qi around it was undergoing some major transformation. It still looked like a small beast, but it was most definitely about to evolve soon.
