Chapter 437: Chapter 183: Acupoint Fusion Success! 7200 Vitality Index! Finally Forging the Top-grade Primordial Acupoints
This had been a low-difficulty mission. They’d collected their spoils with ease, hardly even engaging in any close-quarters combat.
...
「Three years passed in the blink of an eye.」
Only five years remained until the deadline for the Fearless Warband’s internal ranking competition.
In those three years, Qin Feng and Dragon Jade’s squad had accepted and completed a total of seven Hell-level missions.
Six were successful, and one was a failure.
They had faced cunning xenomorphs, slaughtered fanatical cultists, and fought to the death against cold, unfeeling war machines.
During the most dangerous mission, the entire squad was nearly wiped out. The easiest, by contrast, felt like a walk in the park.
They forged an unbreakable bond of camaraderie, entrusting their backs to one another in one bloody battle after the next.
When the four of them reappeared on the familiar Teleportation Platform after completing their seventh mission, they each carried an aura of tempered composure and sharpness, all superficiality stripped away.
HISS—
Qin Feng skillfully disengaged his power armor, revealing a face more chiseled than it was three years ago, his gaze deeper and more resolute.
He ignored the few new scars on his body, instead opening his personal terminal at once. His gaze fell upon a string of dazzling numbers.
[Name: Qin Feng]
[Contribution Points (Remaining): 76,000]
[Fearless Warband Reputation (Remaining): 1,320,000]
Three years of life-and-death struggles had earned him a truly terrifying accumulation of wealth.
These Contribution Points and reputation were enough for him to exchange for the absolute best cultivation resources and equipment available to a Fifth-level Martial Artist.
But this was not his greatest gain.
His consciousness sank into his body as he felt the cataclysmic changes in the power within his Three Hundred and Sixty Great Sun Acupoints.
Although he had spent most of the past three years either on missions or recovering from injuries, he seized every spare moment. Using the terrifying cultivation efficiency of the *Ten-Complete Hand*, he had frantically worked on unifying his acupoints.
This intermittent, arduous cultivation had steadily accumulated.
In three years, he had managed to complete over forty more Acupoint Unifications!
[Current Acupoint Unifications: 236]
[Current Vitality Index: 5960.0]
At the same time, over the past three years, his Third-level Killing Skill, the *Heaven and Earth Spear*, had been elevated to the Control Realm after being honed through countless real battles.
He could clearly feel it: now that the Will of all his Killing Skills had been integrated, something far more terrifying and powerful—an ultimate killing blow—was gestating in the depths of his divine soul.
It felt as if it was just behind a thin paper screen, but no matter how Qin Feng tried, he could never quite pierce through and grasp it.
’It’s just lacking that final touch...’
Qin Feng understood this, but he felt no rush.
He raised his head to look at Dragon Jade, who was stretching nearby. "Dragon Jade," he said in a heavy voice, "I don’t think I can continue to accept missions for the time being."
"Hm?"
Dragon Jade paused, looking over in surprise. "Why’s that? Hit a bottleneck?"
"No."
Qin Feng shook his head, his gaze resolute. "I’m planning to enter deep seclusion. I want to try and unify all my remaining acupoints before the ranking competition is over."
The moment he said this, the expression on Dragon Jade’s face froze.
For the first time, his eyes, which were usually as placid as water, filled with a mixture of shock, bewilderment, and utter disbelief.
"Wait... what did you just say?"
Dragon Jade’s voice cracked. "You’ve... how many Acupoint Unifications have you completed?"
"Two hundred and thirty-six," Qin Feng answered honestly.
"Two hundred and thirty-six?!"
Dragon Jade sucked in a sharp breath, staring at Qin Feng as if he were some kind of monster. It was as if he were seeing his teammate of three years for the very first time.
He did a quick calculation in his head.
A total of three hundred and sixty Acupoint Unifications. Qin Feng had already completed two hundred and thirty-six, which left one hundred and twenty-four.
And there were only... a little over five years left until the end of the ranking competition!
"You’re going to complete the remaining one hundred and twenty-something Acupoint Unifications in five years?!"
Dragon Jade’s voice sounded faint. "Qin Feng, are you sure you didn’t miscalculate? Or... are you sure you’re not joking?"
Five years to complete over one hundred and twenty unifications!
A speed like that couldn’t be described as ’genius’ anymore. It completely overturned all common sense in the Martial Dao!
Even among the greatest Demons in the history of Cannan Star Martial Arts University, no one had ever been heard of possessing such an appalling cultivation speed in the Meridian Union Realm!
However, looking into Qin Feng’s eyes—so earnest they held not a single trace of deceit—the shock in Dragon Jade’s heart slowly melted into a wry smile of understanding.
Then, he remembered.
’Right, how could I have forgotten?’
’This guy in front of me could never be judged by common standards, not from the very beginning.’
’The "Qin Beast" who took nearly forty years just to open his acupoints, only to then sweep the rookie tournament and set a new hundred-year record in the tower challenge.’
’I’d cultivated alongside him before, and his speed of Acupoint Unification was already ridiculous. And now it looked like that wasn’t even his limit...’
At this thought, all of Dragon Jade’s shock dissolved into a helpless, exasperated sigh.
"You’re unbelievable."
He shook his head in resignation, but then a sincere smile broke out on his face. He clapped Qin Feng firmly on the shoulder, his voice full of anticipation.
"With your terrifyingly powerful physique, not to mention your Mental Power, which is already second to none... by the time you actually succeed in unifying all Three Hundred and Sixty Acupoints, I’m afraid I won’t stand a chance against you. You’ll probably pin me to the ground and give me a thrashing."
