Chapter 914: Ill-Intent Ploy

The human inside the clip brandished his saber at an imperceptible speed. He quickly severed through multiple tentacles of the Hundred-Claws.

But that was an insignificant loss as compared to its countless others that were still intact.

It pounced toward the human from all angles, leaving little room to evade.

Just when most of the first-time viewers felt that this was the end, the human burst into attacks.

It was hard to tell how many times the human had swung his saber. Uncountable glares flashed across the screen, followed by the tentacles falling into the sea.

The Hundred-Claws shrieked either out of pain or fury. Waves high as the tsunami rolled up from the sea around them. But the attack did not seem to deter the man. His sturdy internal force shield could not be penetrated by the wave.

The man moved in the air hastily. In the blink of an eye, he closed in on the beast and his saber once again exploded into blinding glares.

Along with each glare, numerous spirits drifted out its tip. The spirits wailed as they charged at the monster. Instantly, numerous bite marks appeared on the beast’s body, and the Hundred-Claw soon crumbled into pieces following the destructive attack.

The video ended there at the ten-plus minute mark. It brought the world into a jolt.

“That creature, at that size, what’s its tier?”

“I think it’s called the Hundred-Claw. I saw the wanted poster and video of this beast when I visited the East Sea. I remember it is classified as an A-tier beast emperor.”

“Was. This year, the Hundred-Claw’s status was officially upgraded to a beast deity.”

“That’s impossible. If the beast is a beast deity, how could it be killed in just a few swipes? This is impossible even for an S-tier.”

A lot of people voiced their doubts. But it was even more impossible to fake a video without being discovered using today’s technology. The video had been verified and was real.

“Who is the person in the video?” More people asked.

They would know the truth when they find out the identity of the person inside the video.

Not many knew the reality, but there were also a considerable few that had witnessed the battle.

Qin Feng stayed at the Abyssal Ocean for half a month and had been searching for the Hundred-Claw relentlessly. He even personally offered a bounty to whoever sighted the beast.

This time, the Hundred-Claw had attacked a large fleet. When Qin Feng reached the scene, there were still several B-tiers and more than a hundred C-tiers who remained.

That was how the video got to the public. It did not even include any video taken by Qin Feng’s crew. That alone was enough to fulfill what Qin Feng had promised Long Ting.

“The man in the video is known as Qin Feng. I believe he is the president of an organization.”

“Is this organization still recruiting?”

“Is that true? I have heard about this Fengli Organization. They are a weapon manufacturer focusing on guns and aircraft production, right? I have never heard that their president is an S-tier ancient warrior. No wonder they have taken the world by storm.”

“The president of the Fengli Organization is only an A-tier. But apparently, he is in a different class of himself. The guy reached A-tier while he is still just a prodigy.”

“He is not yet twenty? How did he do that so young?”

“Age is not the issue. He must be a transcendent talent that occurs once in a century. That’s the only logical explanation why he was able to slaughter the Hundred-Claw this easily.”

Aptitude users discussed and debated heatedly on the battle net. Some even tried to analyze the art used by Qin Feng. Finally, a few elects with sharp eyes identified his attack to be the Spirit Chain Rend while his qinggong skill was Rampage Influx. Suddenly, these two arts became the most sought-after skills within the aptitude users’ circle.

The most amazing thing about Qin Feng was not how he achieved A-tier at such a young age, but that he managed to master two S-tier abilities simultaneously. It was absurd.

The noise created on the battle net was only a part of it. A lot of powerful aptitude users were upset when Long Ting honored Qin Feng with the marshal badge. Now, they had no basis to protest against it anymore.

“The head of a beast deity for a marshal badge,” Long Ting challenged them. She knew not many could do what Qin Feng did.

This would somehow mute the voices of discontentment for a while.

Naturally, Long Ting was extremely pleased with the outcome.

On the communicator, Long Ting could hardly hold back her grin. “That’s a nice video. Not only does it silence the doubters, but your dominance also provides a sense of security to the people. We humans need a hero. The Huaxia Alliance also needs a hero. Qin Feng, thank you for all that you have done.”

“This is my responsibility. It’s my honor to carry it out the moment I receive the Marshal badge from your hand,” Qin Feng smiled and said, “Of course, I couldn’t say I did not gain benefits from it too.”

The greatest benefit of all was none other than making the Fengli Organization more famous than it already was. The inner-circle had also been consolidated. Now, no one would be that stupid to leave or betray Fengli. It was led by a president that could kill a beast deity with ease!

“You deserved it.” Long Ting commended Qin Feng another time before hanging up. Qin Feng set the return course after the call.

After Bai Li absorbed the crystal core from the Siren Cherub, she evolved to A1-tier as expected. Her consciousness only became more supreme.

Qin Feng had also given Bai Li the crystal core of the Hundred-Claw. He hoped that the little fox could get to S-tier as soon as possible. To achieve that, Qin Feng would need more energy cores. But killing a beast deity was no longer an option, at least not in public.

The first time might be commendable. But what if he killed more?

When his achievement and popularity surpassed that of his superiors, what would they think? Would they still honor him earnestly with no qualm? Qin Feng highly doubted that.

Hence, Qin Feng set his sight on another dimension.

‘The most suitable dimension for me now should be Dragon Island.’

Dragon Island, or the so-called Aether Realm, was a massive place. A tiny creature like a human could hardly survive there.

But the S-tiers were all eager to explore the dimension despite the danger it posed. There were too many marvelous opportunities in there that could be of tremendous help to an S-tier.

Moreover, there were multiple openings connected to Dragon Island in the dimension Qin Feng was living in.

Coincidentally, one of the openings was controlled by He Tianxing.

The opening was hidden in none other than the Dark Citadel.

Come to think of it, one month had passed since Qin Feng slit He Tianxing’s throat. He wondered how the business in the citadel was faring now. It was time for him to show “his” face.

As such, he summoned Bai Li and informed Xue Xingfu that he was going on an expedition.

“Well, great timing. At least I know what to tell the overly passionate applicants now. You know what, even A-tiers are asking for a place in Fengli recently!”

Qin Feng knew this would happen. Like what Long Ting had said, the video had shaped Qin Feng into a savior. Like it or not, he now possessed immense influence.

That was why it was not surprising that a lot of people had come knocking following his astronomical rise.

“Who contacted you? Let me see the list.”

“Here is the list.” Xue Xingfu sent Qin Feng a document. The applicants’ names, CVs, experiences, and past battle records had been compiled and listed neatly.

Qin Feng scoffed as he scanned through the list. “Reject all of them. We are too small an organization to house so many big names at once, especially when they have their backs on another huge tree.”

These people more or less had a connection with other S-tiers. Their undercover was immediately blown in front of Qin Feng, a man who was living his second life.

Joining Fengli was just a ploy. They certainly did not approach the organization with goodwill, which Qin Feng was sure of.
