Chapter 941: The Missing SSS-tier
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Liu Han was an extended family of the Lius. As such, his family did not have enough resources delegated to them by the main family throughout their known lives. Liu Han had gotten to where he was now all due to his sheer hard work.
If Qin Feng did not perform as well as he did in the test earlier and had allowed Liu Han to shine, Liu Long might put in a good word for him and his family amongst the Lius, giving them more status and resources.
However, this was all down the drain. Liu Long was probably going to berate him for being useless later.
To Liu Han, if it were not for Qin Feng, there would not be so many problems that he had to face. Thus, he threw Qin Feng a glare and blamed him for all this.
Of course, Qin Feng could care less about what Liu Han thought about him. He did not not only to save Hu San’s face but also to tell others who might be watching—that their realm was not some weakling world that anyone could come and step on.
“Is the result sufficient to pass?” Qin Feng asked.
“Of course it’s enough to pass! If this result isn’t enough, I don’t think any other result is worth a pass.” Hu San replied.
“Good.”
After logging in the result, Qin Feng received a card. After dripping a few drops of his blood onto it, the card morphed into his Identification Card, which he then inserted into his new communicator. Qin Feng was now finally a member of the real Human Alliance. Of course, his identification stated that he was an S-tier ancient warrior, not the A-tier ancient warrior like what Earth recorded.
After dealing with all these, Hu San began explaining a few more things, “In the realms that are known, humans generally hold four professions. There are, as you know, the ancient warriors, ability users and gunslingers. Other than these three, there is also the beastmaster. Beastmasters are the type that are in many ways similar to what you can do. However, the ultra beasts in our realm are too powerful to tame. As such, we could not introduce this profession to our world.”
“In our world, humans tend to congregate together. This is how our martial arts, qinggong and neigong, got widely spread in our society. There are so many of them that one should pay great attention in choosing the martial arts that are suitable for them. Of course, there’s also the rune abilities. The need to choose the abilities is much less than the martial arts due to how abilities are awakened as well as the rarity of runes. Then, we have the gunneries. Guns are expensive and could be upgraded via technology. However, not many know how to manufacture their own weapons, so most gunslingers would just buy a gun from a gunsmith.”
“Beastmasters, however, are rather unique. They utilize consciousness to control ultra beasts and this requires a lot of conscious energy. Not only that, most of their methods are well-kept secrets amongst themselves.”
“I suppose, opening up the doors to various realms for you would allow you to acquire more resources and means of getting stronger.”
Hu San then gave him further guidance on how the various realms worked. However, despite Hu San’s greatest efforts, there was a lot of knowledge and techniques that existed in the multi-worlds that could not be taught—these required Qin Feng to go out there and experience them himself.
“One more thing.” A stern, serious look crept onto Hu San’s face. “If you see any champion from the Dark Coalition out there, do exercise caution.”
Qin Feng was stunned.
“The Dark Coalition has a foothold out there too? But why are they at odds with us out there? Aren’t they humans too?”
Qin Feng thought that the Dark Coalition only existed in their world. He did not think they had also established some traction outside of their realm.
After experiencing rebirth, Qin Feng had encountered He Tianxing, Voodoo Lord, Eye Devil and Ayshan. And he noticed that Hu San and other higher-ups in the Human Alliance did not seem to harbor much hostility toward these members of the Dark Coalition.
Qin Feng actually thought that He Tianxing and the other S-tiers from their world’s Dark Coalition were also members of this “Real Human Alliance”, thinking that even though they were at odds in their own world, when stepping out they were all allies.
After hearing Hu San’s words, Qin Feng now knew that this was not the case.
“We and they… We don’t share the same vision for humankind.” Hu San replied, “After reaching our level of strength, it is rather difficult for anyone to change our views. When humans need to grow stronger, we would require resources to do so. The Human Alliance’s vision maintains that we should never utilize the world’s energy core—like the Immortal’s core that you saw before.”
Qin Feng began to understand what Hu San was talking about, “So, you mean that the Dark Coalition does not care if a world is going to collapse or not. They will use up the world’s energy core and dry it up for self-serving reasons. Is this why they and the Human Alliance don’t see eye to eye with one another?”
“Precisely. The people in the Dark Coalition are selfish. Some of them are mad men, purposely going to other human realms and drying up their energy cores, resulting in their worlds’ collapse. The Human Alliance believes in the natural order of things. And a world’s collapse should be a natural occurrence, not one caused by men.”
Qin Feng nodded in agreement.
Then, Hu San summoned a hovercraft and brought Qin Feng away from the city.
“This is the central citadel. And our Earth is indeed a lower ranked world, like what Liu Long said. So, even if we have the money to buy a piece of land here, we are still too weak to attain it. Staying here will only make us the laughing stock of others. This is why we established another small town about half an hour’s journey away.”
Hu San had already booked Qin Feng a place in that town, so that he would have a base of operation here.
The reason Hu San picked a hovercraft for means of transportation was because he was worried that Qin Feng might not be comfortable in interacting with other S-tiers. After all, in their world, Qin Feng was just an A1-tier.
“There are not many people in the town. Due to the high-tech that we use, you can find mostly robots serving visitors here.”
“I see.” Qin Feng answered, “So, how many S-tiers do we have in our realm’s Human Alliance?”
Qin Feng did not have the full picture on this information.
Hu San sighed, “In our world’s Human Alliance, there should be around two hundred eighty three S-tiers, eleven SS-tiers and… well, we had one SSS-tier before but now he has gone missing. He was once a member of the Huaxia Alliance.”
“The one from Prince Xiao’s family?” Qin Feng had heard Z mentioned this before.
“Yes. Li Yuan, the Sword Saint. But… he has gone missing for over thirty years now. Perhaps… he has already passed away by now. There’s still an SS-tier in their family. Prince Xiao is about to ascend soon; so, the Lis are quite influential and reputable in the Huaxia Alliance.”
Qin Feng nodded. Although he had butted heads with Liu Chong before, Li Xiao did not seem to harbor hostility toward Qin Feng at all when they worked together to take on the Dragon-bornes.
Of course, they could probably still maintain this neutral relationship while Qin Feng had not directly conflicted with Li Xiao’s interest. Nonetheless, Qin Feng still needed to be careful whenever dealing with Li Xiao in the future. A family that could birth an SSS-tier was not one to be trifled with.
Hu San then told Qin Feng to take a look at his communicator to learn more about the world out here. Recalling the martial arts that Hu San had mentioned earlier, Qin Feng excitedly activated his communicator to check them out.
There were a lot of martial art manuals that were on sale. Qin Feng clicked straight to the S-tier arts without hesitation. He was surprised to learn that there were at least fifty thousand S-tiers available.
Each of these S-tier arts was rather rare in each realm. Even Dragon Capital only had about a dozen S-tier arts available in their archive.
However, there were fifty thousand of them on sale here?!
However, the more Qin Feng read their introduction, the more confused he got.
Why were all these S-tier neigong so unremarkably weak? The strongest neigong could only amplify one’s internal energy thrice.
Asteroid Assimilation could easily amplify his internal energy ten times from how it was!
Qin Feng originally thought that he needed to find a better neigong after ascending to S-tier. However, it seemed that there was not even one S-tier neigong that could compete with Asteroid Assimilation.
“Wait…!”
Suddenly, a terrifying, bold hypothesis flashed across Qin Feng’s mind.
