Master of the End Times

Inside the arena, Qin Feng had actually detected the movement from afar.

The location Shao Dongfeng had dropped Qin Feng was near the central region of the battle arena. If Qin Feng had picked a different direction, he would have a higher chance to meet contestants from the Human Alliance. However, his current direction led him straight into the enemy’s base.

At this stage, the opponents had already gathered in small groups while Qin Feng was still venturing solo.

However, being outnumbered meant little to Qin Feng.

The three approaching opponents appeared to have upgraded too. Qin Feng could sense that two of them were now SS-tier. His opponents would not forever remain in S9-tier as the competition progressed.

The same could be said about Qin Feng. His power might not have enhanced significantly, but Qin Feng was no longer the same person when he first met an SS-tier at Bahamut.

Qin Feng could sense the opponents ten thousand meters away, but the three enemies could not feel his presence at all.

Qin Feng strolled on confidently. He stopped when they were only about a thousand meters away from him.

The three Dark Coalition members were moving too. They still did not seem to notice Qin Feng.

This distance was close enough for Qin Feng.

“Sovereign Roar!”

Qin Feng summoned a formidable amount of runes. Above his head, a giant black star rose, which was followed by the emergence of a giant dragon.

The black dragon opened its maw. In the next moment, a dark flood splashed out from the dragon’s giant mouth.

A loud, deafening roar sounded.

The flood submerged the forest and slammed on the three approaching aptitude users. It happened too suddenly for the three users to react in time.

As such, they summoned their internal force shield and executed defensive charms to resist the flood.

However, that was worse than fleeing.

The dark runes squashed them. Charms were dispelled immediately and internal force shields on them were eroded rapidly. They did not even have the time to gasp or scream.

The waves swallowed them alive.

Even though they had the physique of an SS-tier, the turbulent dark runes destroyed them thoroughly. Not long after, three bodies swayed lifelessly among the waves.

“Retract!”

The runes subsided back through the vortex between Qin Feng’s brows. Three new badges appeared in his hands. The number of the corresponding realm was engraved on the badge.

Each badge had its own unique mark, which symbolized a specific realm. At the end of the competition, the owner of the badge would be gifted the realm as carved. This was planned ahead upon the agreement of the alliances.

These badges could not be stored in spatial equipment. Qin Feng placed them in his backpack and continued to look for other contestants.

Since he was now on the arena side belonging to the Dark Coalition, he came across another three-man party not long after. Without a doubt, he annihilated them too.

On the first day alone, Qin Feng had taken care of seven opponents. If he could stay alive until the end, he would be awarded seven realms.

Qin Feng was not particularly thrilled. Rather, the audience in Central City was more excited than him.

Many doubted him when he killed Sakyaey. Some believed Sakyaey was too consumed in absorbing the energy from the worm. That was why Qin Feng managed to assault him with ease.

Those doubts had completely vanished now.

Everyone watching recognized that Qin Feng’s supremacy was real.

His prowess was out of this world.

Aptitude users from the Blue Star Realm had largely turned from being anxious and excited into silent and thoughtful.

“After this, maybe we should consider inviting Qin Feng into the meeting,” Long Kong said. He was obviously referring to the one meeting that involved only the highest-ranked users of Blue Star.

The eleven SS-tiers at present were the usual attendees. Qin Feng would be the twelfth if he joined.

With his strength, perhaps a lot of unsolvable problems in the past could be solved now.

“Why don’t we wait until he reaches SS-tier?” Seinakawa was the first to raise an objection.

The others remained silent as well. They were hesitant too. The resources on Blue Star were fairly limited. They would receive a smaller part of the cake if another user joined them.

“Besides, no matter how great he is now, he is still only an S-tier. If you have anything that needs his help, just give him an order! There’s no need to pamper him like a king!” Seinakawa wanted to make her stance clear.

Li Yuan sneered mockingly. “Judging by his power, I would be embarrassed to ask for his favor using lame motives like ‘for the greater good’. Don’t ask for help if you can’t even provide the most basic remuneration. If one day he becomes an SS-tier or someone even greater, you will face two times the humiliation.”

Li Yuan’s words slapped those who silently agreed with Seinakawa.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

The contest kept moving forward. At this tier, it was entirely normal for them to not sleep for a few months. Seven days were not considered long. The contestants inside the arena hardly rested too. They were engaged in battle after battle.

Later, Qin Feng met and exterminated another member of the Dark Coalition. He had accumulated eight kills on the first day.

Besides that, three other aptitude users of the Dark Coalition had also fallen to the Human Alliance. But none was being killed as fast as those terminated by Qin Feng.

The other contestants of Dark Coalition had no idea that such brutal fights had taken place. They were also unaware that they had lost so many comrades in a single day.

The remaining twelve Dark Coalition members were scattered around the arena; some had grouped up while others continued to move alone.

On the Human Alliance’s side, the casualties were less severe. Only five prodigies were killed on the first day.

Ming Tianhao was unscathed. Not only that but he was joined by two other Human Alliance members. Their survival chance was boosted greatly as a three-man party.

But the sense of security was immediately challenged the next day.

They bumped into a group of five Dark Coalition members.

A tough battle was inevitable.

“Run. We can’t fight them now.”

Even though Ming Tianhao was pretty strong, the Dark Coalition also had a few tough nuts in this year’s contest. As far as he knew, at least three possessed battle powers greater than 100,000. If Sakyaey were in the group, Ming Tianhao did not have the confidence to defeat him.

Hence, he decided to run instead of fight.

Ming Tianhao might be overmatched, but nobody could stop him if he put all his mind on fleeing.

As a result, the three Human Alliance users were being chased breathlessly by five enemies inside the battle arena. None of them tried to conceal their aura as they were dashing at full speed. One did not need great perception to sense the fluctuation of energy resulting from the pursuit.

‘Oh!? Someone’s there!’

Qin Feng stood on top of a hill. He powered his eyes with internal strength and saw several human figures flashing past rapidly.

‘Finally found someone so lively.’

Qin Feng grinned and chased after them.

The aptitude users in Central City gazed at the screen closely.

The commentator was especially animated.

“Ming Tianhao and co. are going to be saved now. Qin Feng is on the way! He is moving unbelievably fast!”

At this moment, everyone placed their hopes on Qin Feng. He was the hero, the savior!
