So, after level 10, the number of attribute points doubles with each level up! Qin Feng was overjoyed. He glanced at his combat power assessment and indeed soared to 53 stars. This one-level increase directly boosted his combat power by 2 stars. Awesome! This is how strength should improve.
[Successfully killed the level 13 Resentful Spirit Envoy (King Level), dropped a quest item—Dark Crystal.] Qin Feng quickly looked down and saw the corpse glowing with white light. A black crystal the size of a ping pong ball emerged from the body. It dropped! The quest item finally dropped! He quickly picked it up.
[Dark Crystal: Quest item. Collect seven to proceed to the Demon Sealing Platform and unlock the seal, releasing the Resentful Spirit.]
The first Dark Crystal was obtained. Just as Qin Feng picked up the crystal, the system broadcasted a reminder to everyone.
[Quest Reminder: Newbie Qin Feng obtained the first Dark Crystal.]
Upon this announcement, cheers erupted in the channel.
"Ha-ha! Fantastic! Qin Feng got the first crystal so quickly!"
"Amazing! Our leader is truly amazing!"
"Brothers, Qin Feng is working so hard; we need to do our best to support him and provide as much assistance as possible!"
"Exactly! Qin Feng still needs six more. The challenges ahead might be even more difficult, and we have to help him as much as possible."
"That's right!"
"Action! Everyone, let's take action! Kill monsters! Keep killing monsters!"
"I've been acting for a while now!"
"Ha-ha! I'm killing monsters right now!"
At this moment, everyone united, fighting with all their might.
Meanwhile, on the street, after Qin Feng picked up the Dark Crystal, he began extracting essence from the fat man's corpse.
[Endless Extraction Successful! Obtained C-level talent again—True Meaning of Strength!]
[Two talents automatically superimposed and strengthened, self-evolving...]
[Talent evolution successful! Your Strength talent has been upgraded to B-level—Martial Power.]
[Martial Power: Strength talent, comprehend the essence of the martial power law, strength enhancement tenfold.]
Damn! B-level talent! He finally got a B-level talent! Qin Feng was ecstatic. B-level talent! Only one in about ten thousand people could awaken one. In other words, in ten newbie villages, there might be one B-level talent holder. Although he had the SSS-level endless extraction, it was a special talent with no significant combat enhancement. To improve his strength, he still relied on combat-oriented talents. This B-level Martial Power was precisely a combat talent.
[Reminder: After your Strength talent evolved, the skill 'Qi Release' has its power doubled!]
Huh! The skill power was also enhanced. Qin Feng's eyes brightened, and he casually swung his knife.
Swoosh~! The knife qi emerged!
Bang~! A wooden house ten yards away collapsed, nearly halved by the slash.
Not bad! Not bad! The range of the knife qi doubled! The power increased too! In this way, his overall strength was enhanced again. This continuous strengthening feeling was really enjoyable. Probably no one could be like him, getting stronger while fighting. This was because talents above SS-level were unique. Among billions of people globally, only he possessed endless extraction. Therefore, he could keep extracting targets, continuously enhancing himself with limitless growth.
Just at this moment, the ground in front began to wriggle, engulfing the fat man's corpse. After a moment, only the rusty large cleaver remained on the ground. It was the fat man's weapon! Qin Feng was curious and picked up the cleaver.
[Rusty Butcher Knife: Second-tier item, Attack +20, Armor Penetration +50%.]
This was unexpectedly a second-tier item! Qin Feng was intrigued, placed his hand on the blade, and activated endless extraction.
Mmm~! A burst of white light flashed! The rust on the butcher knife visibly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving a cold and gleaming surface, as if it were brand new.
[Endless Extraction Successful! You have extracted the rust and residue from the 'Rusty Butcher Knife,' promoting it to 'Blood Butcher Knife.']
[Blood Butcher Knife: Third-tier item, Attack +50, Armor Penetration +100%.]
Not bad! As he expected. In just a short while, a second-tier item turned into a third-tier one, increasing its value several times over. This time, he made a profit again! Qin Feng happily stored away the Blood Butcher Knife, feeling extremely satisfied. The value of a third-tier item was comparable to a silver chest. This harvest was even greater than killing the Hell Three-headed Hound. Qin Feng was very satisfied.
[Reminder: Seventeen people in the Blue Star Realm have obtained the 'Guidance Scroll' (a reminder every ten minutes for this progress).]
Damn! Seventeen people already! The Blue Star Realm is indeed full of talented individuals! Qin Feng suddenly felt anxious. The more people there were, the greater the competition pressure! It couldn't be said that those who obtained the scroll later were weaker than those who got it earlier. There were also some luck factors involved. Some people might be extremely strong but had slightly worse luck, getting the scroll a bit later. However, the final completion of the task still depended on real strength! Thinking of this, Qin Feng strode toward the depths of the street. His task difficulty was twice that of others! He had to speed up; otherwise, the chance of entering the top ten would be slim. After he walked not too far into the street, footsteps sounded ahead. Qin Feng couldn't help but stop, gripping the handle of his knife.
Clang~! Clang~! Clang~! With a series of echoing footsteps, a tall black figure emerged from the thick fog. After a short while, the figure entered Qin Feng's line of sight. It was a mighty and robust man, holding a rusty spear.
[Aberration]: Resentful Spirit Envoy (King Level)
[Level]: 14
[Combat Power Evaluation]: 50 stars
[Talent]: ???
[Skills]: ???
[Status]: Controlled
[Origin]: Former 'Newbie King'; enhanced after death by the dark power of the Resentful Spirit, greatly increasing combat power.
A level 14 Resentful Spirit Envoy! The combat power reached 50 stars, seven stars higher than the fat man before. However, Qin Feng's combat power was only 53 stars. It seemed like the Resentful Spirit hiding behind was getting impatient. This time, it sent out a stronger entity.
Just then, the robust man had already approached. He stared coldly at Qin Feng, his eyes filled with killing intent and a hint of confusion. How did this human defeat the fat man? The fat man was a level 13 Newbie King in his lifetime! After being enhanced, his strength became even stronger. However, the fat man actually lost to this human; he was indeed useless!
Nevertheless, it didn't matter. The robust man was much stronger than the fat man. This time, let him harvest the life of this human! The man grinned maliciously and walked toward Qin Feng. With every step he took, the surrounding temperature dropped significantly. Gradually, frost formed on the ground and on the wooden houses along the street. At this moment, Qin Feng also felt the pervasive chill, continuously infiltrating his body.
In the blink of an eye, the robust man was only three meters away from him. Just then, a sudden change occurred! Splash~! The man suddenly made a move, thrusting the spear directly at Qin Feng's chest. The spear brought a chilling wave. Before the tip of the spear arrived, the cold air had already attacked. Crack~! Crack~! Crack~! In an instant, Qin Feng's body was enveloped in cold air, and 'crackling' ice formed, turning him into an ice sculpture.
The man's eyes showed a triumphant color. His innate talent ability was to control ice. At this moment, Qin Feng was frozen by his ice and couldn't move, allowing the man to slaughter him as he pleased.
Swoosh~! A gust of wind from the spear howled! The spearhead gleamed with a cold light, heading directly for the ice sculpture that was once Qin Feng. He intended to shatter Qin Feng with a single strike.
However, in this critical moment, a sudden change occurred. Boom~! A deafening explosion echoed! The ice sculpture suddenly shattered! Qin Feng burst out, his entire body enveloped in blue-black Hell Flames. Immediately after, instead of retreating, he sidestepped the spear thrust.
Swoosh~! The blade flashed! Crack~! Blood splattered! The blade passed through the man's waist, cutting him in half. Thump~! Thump~! Two muffled sounds! The two pieces of the corpse fell to the ground successively. The scent of blood permeated the air. Another one killed! Qin Feng's eyes revealed joy.
Roar~! However, just as the man fell, a thunderous roar echoed from the end of the street. The entire village violently shook. Qin Feng was greatly alarmed and quickly looked toward the end of the street. That roar? Could it be the Resentful Spirit?
Just then, anomalies occurred again. Strands of black mist rose from the ground, the air temperature continuously dropping, and the cold atmosphere intensifying... In the blink of an eye, the black mist thickened by twofold. The visibility around dropped to within seven meters.
Just as Qin Feng was bewildered, a white light flew out from the man's corpse and entered his body...
[Successfully killed the level 14 Resentful Spirit Envoy (King Level), gaining +8000 energy points.]
[Successfully killed the level 14 Resentful Spirit Envoy (King Level), gaining +120 Adjudicator Points.]
[Successfully killed the level 14 Resentful Spirit Envoy (King Level), dropped a quest item — Dark Crystal.]
Qin Feng joyfully approached, quickly picking up the Dark Crystal.
[Quest Reminder: Novice Qin Feng obtained the second Dark Crystal.]
The crowd received the information again. Cheers echoed in the channel once more. Qin Feng ignored them and started extracting the corpse.
[Endless Extraction Successful! Obtained C-tier talent — Ice Enlightenment!]
Haha! Another C-tier talent! It was truly delightful! It could be seen that becoming a Newbie King wasn't easy. Both the fat man and this man awakened C-tier talents during their lifetime. This greatly benefited Qin Feng. If he could kill more of these Resentful Spirit Envoys, he would accumulate more C-tier talents, and his overall strength would soar.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng felt secretly pleased. He loved the feeling of constantly becoming stronger. Now, he also realized a problem. Although the Endless Talent was extremely powerful, it wasn't a combat-type talent. If he wanted to become stronger, he needed to possess more powerful combat talents to comprehensively enhance his strength.
Just then, the ground squirmed, and the man's corpse was swallowed, leaving only the rusty spear. Qin Feng picked up the spear.
[Rusty Spear: Second-tier item, +18 Attack, Penetration +50%.]
[Endless Extraction Successful! You have cleaned the rust and residue from the 'Rusty Spear,' promoting it to 'Point Steel Spear.']
[Point Steel Spear: Third-tier item, Attack +47, Penetration +100%.]
He obtained another third-tier equipment. Qin Feng felt secretly pleased. However, at this moment, the Heavenly Dao sent another prompt, indicating that twenty-seven people had obtained the 'Guidance Scroll.' The number had significantly increased.
Qin Feng was in a hurry. So many people competing for the top ten spots! He had to hurry! Immediately, he took large strides toward the end of the street.
He tentatively judged that the place where the Resentful Spirit was sealed should be at the end of this street. The roar from before should be coming from the Resentful Spirit. After a quarter of an hour, Qin Feng arrived at the end of the street. There was a plaza there. In the center of the plaza stood a massive altar. Magnificent! Spectacular! Could this be the altar that seals the Resentful Spirit? Curious, Qin Feng approached to inspect it.
However, at this moment, an anomaly occurred. The fog on one side of the field suddenly rolled.
