Chapter 30 - Cross-Level Battle Two Stars
“Ding! Entering the challenge map – Polar Ice Prison in 10 seconds… 10… 9… 8… 7…”
A flash of white light passed, and Qin Feng disappeared from the cultivation chamber.
In the next second, he appeared in a new space.
Qin Feng raised his eyes and found himself standing on a giant ice island. In the distance, there was an ocean filled with floating ice, and beneath his feet, a thick layer of ice. The world around him was entirely white with snow.
The air was extremely cold, with temperatures at least dropping to minus seventy or eighty degrees Celsius.
After just a few breaths, a layer of frost formed on Qin Feng’s eyelashes, and goosebumps covered his entire body from the cold.
Luckily, his physical body was strong enough to withstand such extreme cold.
Ordinary genetic warriors and body strength experts would have already retreated.
Qin Feng exhaled a long breath, which condensed into a white mist in the air. Upon closer inspection, there were tiny ice crystals in the mist.
He pulled up his attribute template under the challenge mode.
Challenger: Qin Feng (Quasi-King level)
Level: Level 5 (Quasi Elementalist)
Talent Skill: God-level Devouring
Combat Skill: Berserk Strike (instant doubling of combat power)
Combat Power Index: 700 points
Qin Feng estimated that his attack power had just reached the threshold of mid-stage One-Star.
However, he possessed two skills: God-level Devouring and Berserk Strike.
Additionally, with his high-quality elemental weapons, the Blood Bone Blade and the Wind Shadow Boots, he could easily crush a late-stage One-Star Elementalist.
His overall strength should be comparable to a perfected One-Star Elementalist.
Satisfied, Qin Feng put away the template and looked around, but didn’t spot any creatures.
Just then, a light cracking sound came from the valley ahead, as if someone had stepped on the ice.
Is that a creature?
Qin Feng’s heart moved, and he quickly headed towards the valley.
Moments later, he entered the valley but found it empty—no creatures in sight.
However, in the snow at the center of the valley, there were several clear footprints.
Qin Feng walked closer and was surprised.
These footprints were human, and they were left by bare feet.
Could it be that there were other humans here besides him?
Qin Feng was perplexed.
Suddenly, he heard a sharp sonic boom behind him.
Not good!
Someone is ambushing me!
Qin Feng’s expression changed drastically.
But it was too late.
The attacker’s speed exceeded the speed of sound.
By the time he heard the sound, the attack had already arrived.
Bang!
A heavy blow struck Qin Feng’s back, shattering his beast armor into pieces, and he was sent flying, spitting blood.
Thud!
Qin Feng landed heavily on the ground.
The earth trembled slightly.
Fortunately, he had worn the beast-hide armor, which absorbed most of the impact.
Otherwise, that blow could have broken his spine.
However, his beast armor was now completely destroyed.
“Damn!”
Qin Feng cursed, spitting out blood as he looked at his attacker.
Not far behind him stood a humanoid monster, entirely white.
It had silver-white eyes without pupils, and it was staring at Qin Feng with a wicked smile.
A screen of data automatically popped up in front of Qin Feng’s eyes.
Name: Ice Fiend (Normal Class)
Level: Level 10 (Early-stage Two-Star)
Skill: Ice Concealment (First kill drops skill stone)
Warning: Extremely dangerous (Win rate below 5%)
This is a Level 10 creature!
Its strength is equivalent to an early-stage Two-Star Elementalist!
Could it be that the third divine challenge is to kill this Level 10 creature?
“Ding! Divine challenge begins!”
Challenge content: Kill the Ice Fiend within 20 minutes.
“What the—! They really want me to kill the Ice Fiend!”
Qin Feng had the urge to curse.
Whatever you think will happen, happens!
According to the data, my win rate is less than 5%, with almost no chance of victory.
Yet the system not only wants me to kill the Ice Fiend but also demands me do it within 20 minutes.
This is much harder than the previous two challenges!
It’s practically impossible!
However, the reward for this challenge would definitely be greater than the previous two!
Just the first kill of the Ice Fiend would drop a skill stone—Ice Concealment.
At the thought of the skill stone, Qin Feng’s heart burned with excitement.
This kind of item didn’t exist in the outside world.
As far as he knew, Elementalists only mastered skills after reaching Three-Star.
So, the more skills he mastered, the stronger he would be compared to others at the same level.
With this in mind, Qin Feng took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself.
The system’s win rate calculation didn’t take his weapons and equipment into account—this was a bug.
He still had a chance.
“Ding! The challenge will start automatically in 3 seconds… 3… 2… 1…”
“Ding! Challenge begins! Automatic timer: 20:00…”
“Kyeh, Kyeh!”
At that moment, the Ice Fiend let out a strange, ear-piercing laugh.
Its eyes were filled with disdain as it looked at Qin Feng, seemingly possessing high intelligence.
Then, its body gradually became transparent.
Moments later, its figure completely disappeared, along with its aura.
The entire valley was empty, turning deathly silent.
Qin Feng was horrified.
He could no longer sense the Ice Fiend’s presence.
The enemy was in the dark while he was exposed.
This was extremely disadvantageous for him!
Could this be Ice Concealment?
Qin Feng remained still, took out a beast core, and swallowed it.
In an instant, his injuries healed completely.
At the same time, he became extremely alert, prepared to defend against the Ice Fiend’s sneak attack.
The valley was unnervingly quiet.
It was a silence filled with the aura of death.
It was suffocating!
Suddenly, a gust of wind sounded behind Qin Feng.
He moved, activating the Wind Shadow Boots, doubling his speed.
God-level combat technique activated.
With a quick sidestep, he narrowly avoided a transparent shadow passing by his back.
Rip!
His back was slashed, his clothes torn, and five bloody claw marks appeared, blood gushing out.
He slashed with his blade.
Skill! Berserk Strike!
The Blood Bone Blade’s 100% amplification activated!
The two powers stacked together!
His attack power doubled repeatedly.
Qin Feng unleashed his strongest strike!
Boom!
A loud explosion followed!
Countless fragments and dust flew into the air!
A transparent claw blocked the Blood Bone Blade’s strike.
Qin Feng was knocked back dozens of steps.
The Ice Fiend was also forced out of its concealed form and retreated several steps.
It immediately grew furious and charged at Qin Feng again.
During its assault, its body quickly merged into the air once more, vanishing completely, its aura disappearing along with it.
Qin Feng reacted swiftly, throwing over a hundred landmines around him, forming a protective barrier.
Boom!
One of the landmines suddenly exploded!
The Ice Fiend, unaware of what it was, had stepped on one and was momentarily stunned by the blast.
Its figure was revealed.
The landmine didn’t harm it but left it confused for a moment.
This is my chance!
While the Ice Fiend was dazed, Qin Feng closed his eyes and threw a flash grenade.
Flash!
A blinding light filled the valley.
Roar!
The Ice Fiend roared!
Its eyes were blinded by the intense light, rendering it momentarily helpless.
“Strike when the enemy is weak, and finish them off!”
Qin Feng immediately rushed forward, stabbing his blade towards the Ice Fiend’s throat.
