This was the stuff of myths! Of legends!
Qin Lan, especially, stood there stunned, unable to utter a word for a long ti.
In the past three and a half years, she herself had lost an arm. But she had risen from the ashes, and through relentless training day and night, she had only managed to raise her life force index from 120 to 180.
That 60-point increase had been enough to fill her with imnse pride and satisfaction. It was enough to make her one of the top students in her class.
But now, compared to Qin Feng...
Her so-called progress was nothing at all.
It was too absurd!
As for the underclassn who had just left, if they heard that number, they would probably have an existential crisis on the spot.
In the eyes of these first or second-year students, breaking a life force index of 50 already made soone an elite.
But 270... that was a terrifying, unreachable realm they couldn’t even begin to fathom. A level akin to godhood!
While everyone stood there, dazed by the number, no one noticed a figure behind a giant load-bearing column not far away. It was a tall young man with skin like solid rock, and he was staring intently in their direction as if he’d just seen a ghost.
This young man was none other than Shi Dang, the prodigy from Star River Military High School. He had t Qin Feng once on Planet Morningstar and had even defeated Shi Potian to claim the title of "Morningstar’s General Star."
He had been at Canaan for four years.
Thanks to the powerful bloodline talent of the Stone Race and his own diligent efforts, his life force index had now reached over 70.
While this pace couldn’t compare to a monster like Qin Feng, it was certainly in the upper echelons among all the new students, enough to let him retain a sliver of a prodigy’s pride.
But now...
When he overheard that na, one that was both familiar and terrifying, when he heard Qin Feng nonchalantly utter the words "270 points"...
that pathetic shred of pride in his heart was instantly crushed to dust.
Seven years!
Qin Feng had only enrolled three years earlier than him!
Yet the gap in their strength was already a vast chasm, the difference between the heavens and the earth!
’This monster...’
Shi Dang swallowed hard, his gaze fixed on Qin Feng’s profile. Qin Feng looked so calm, as if he were discussing so trivial matter, leaving Shi Dang with nothing but endless bitterness and shock.
’No matter where he goes... he’s a monster.’
Just then, as if sensing sothing, Qin Feng’s calm gaze casually swept in Shi Dang’s direction.
For a fleeting instant, their eyes t.
Shi Dang’s heart leaped!
Almost subconsciously, he imdiately dropped his head, shrinking deeper into the column’s shadow. Then, without a backward glance, he turned and hurried away, as if terrified of being recognized by Qin Feng.
A flicker of surprise crossed Qin Feng’s eyes as he watched the familiar back hurry away, but his expression quickly returned to its usual calm.
He didn’t pursue him or call out to him.
Everyone has their own path to walk.
Besides, he and Shi Dang had never been close.
The thought did, however, remind Qin Feng of Shi Potian. ’I wonder how he’s doing.’
’I haven’t checked the Subspace Network in a while.’

The noise and crowds of the Central Transmission Hub gradually faded behind him.
After a brief farewell to Qin Lan, Zou Yun, and the others, Qin Feng didn’t linger. He teleported directly back to his private dormitory, a room filled with cold, high-tech aesthetics that had long since beco his second ho.
The heavy alloy door slid shut silently behind him, completely sealing off the noise and chaos of the outside world.
This was his own private space, absolutely quiet.
He walked to the ditation cushion in the center of the room, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes. He quickly replayed the entire heart-pounding rescue mission in his mind, including his silent clash with the Evil God’s Will.
Once he had confird there were no overlooked details and had thoroughly suppressed and sealed away the "Glorious Killing Intent" that had nearly dragged him into the abyss, he slowly opened his eyes and began to take stock of his gains.
[Mission: Ergency Rescue—Rescue trapped mbers on Planet A12313-G1]
[Mission Status: Complete]
[Mission Evaluation: Perfect (All rescue objectives t; threat origin neutralized)]
[Mission Rewards Calculated.]
[Rewards Acquired: 500 Contribution Points, 500 Fearless Warband Reputation.]
A satisfied smile finally touched Qin Feng’s lips as he looked at the two dazzling numbers on the light screen.
He opened his personal data panel.
[Contribution Points: 718]
[Fearless Warband Reputation: 500]
This fortune was enough to support him through a deep seclusion, one longer and more intense than any he had ever undertaken before.
’With these resources, my strength is bound to take another qualitative leap within the next three years.’
A fierce fighting spirit burned in Qin Feng’s eyes.
’However, breaking the 500-point life force index threshold in the remaining three years is still a bit of a stretch.’
His mind raced, calculating.
From 270 to 500—that was a terrifying gap of 230 points.
Based on his experience with the Great Sun Acupoint Opening thod, successfully opening and filling a single Great Sun Acupoint increased his life force index by about 10 points.
