Chapter 302: Chapter 160: The Four Divinely Chosen! Starry Sky Giant Beast! "Qin Beast’s" Overwhelming Prestige

"...In conclusion, we can draw a deduction that, while absurd, is the closest we have to the truth: Qin Feng doesn’t just possess the ’potential’ of a Starry Sky Giant Beast. His very life essence, at the genetic level, is already infinitely close to that of a... genuine, pure-blooded, juvenile Starry Sky Giant Beast! His human appearance might just be a form of... disguise!"

"No wonder he’s a monster."

The reply section below this post had utterly exploded.

"Holy shit! OP, you’re a genius! This analysis is absolutely brilliant! I hereby dub you the ’King of Theory’ for this year’s Newcomer Cup!"

"A Starry Sky Giant Beast! A real Starry Sky Giant Beast! No wonder! No wonder he has such terrifying endurance and strength! It all makes sense now!"

"My mind is blown... So, we’re watching a Starry Sky Giant Beast wearing human skin compete in a Martial Dao tournament, is that it?"

"To the person above, your analogy is ridiculous, but... why the fuck does it make so much sense to me!"

"I declare, as of today, I’m ’Qin Beast’s’ number one fan! Anyone who dares to trash talk him will have to answer to me first!"

"Qin Beast! Qin Beast! Qin Beast!"

This post was jointly created by countless battle enthusiasts and tactical analysts.

They presented the complete recording of the semi-final match between Qin Feng and Ba Yan within the post as a 360-degree hologram.

Viewers could pause at any time and observe every subtle movement and every flow of Spiritual Energy from any angle.

The comment section below was in an uproar.

"Without a doubt, Senior Ba Yan is stronger! His [Heart’s Desire Slash] is a true Control Realm killing move, a union of Will and power! If he hadn’t chosen to pull back and defend at the last moment, Qin Feng would have been insta-killed with one slash!"

"Bullshit! Do you even understand the concept of ’all’s fair in war’? Qin Feng’s [Dragon’s Hoard] was a trap from the very beginning! He used himself as bait to force Ba Yan’s hand! That’s a complete domination in terms of Combat Wisdom!"

"Both of you, stop arguing. In my opinion, it’s not about who’s stronger. Ba Yan’s strength lies in his straightforward Hard Power, while Qin Feng’s is in his Control of the battlefield and his willingness to bet it all on a single moment! They are both true champions!"

"Agreed! In this battle, there were no losers! Senior Ba Yan broke through his limits, while Qin Feng won both victory and respect! This is the kind of peak showdown we want to see!"

"Actually, Senior Ba Yan lost."

"That’s right. You scrubs don’t even know what you’re watching. If Ba Yan had followed through with his slash, Qin Feng would have been critically wounded and died. That’s why Ba Yan chose to pull back and defend—he made the right call. But Qin Feng predicted that, which is why he chose to press the attack."

"Yeah, if you scrubs were in his place, you’d be the kind of idiotic villain who thinks one slash will finish the job, only to get insta-killed and scream, ’How could this happen?!’"

Posts like this, from people asking to be caught up on the drama, made up a significant portion of the forum.

Students at Canaan Star Martial Arts University had to complete all sorts of missions to earn Contribution Points to support their training.

Many students, during the Newcomer Cup, happened to be in some remote star system, carrying out long-term missions like exterminating an Alien Race or escorting merchant convoys.

When they dragged their exhausted bodies back to the university, opened the long-neglected forum to see what was new, they were completely bewildered by the unfamiliar name plastered all over the screen.

"Qin Feng? Who’s that? Do we even have someone like that at our school? Number 1,000 on the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard? That can’t be real!"

"Holy crap, I remember before I left for my mission, the guy at number 1,000 on the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard was a senior from three hundred years ago! How did he get replaced just like that?"

"I know Senior Ba Yan! He... he actually lost? Lost to some guy I’ve never even heard of?"

When these students who were late to the party, full of confusion and shock, clicked on the match recordings—especially the heart-stopping duel between Qin Feng and Ba Yan—they, without exception, fell into the same prolonged state of shock and speechlessness as everyone before them.

And when they finally snapped out of it, they would, without hesitation, jump into the craze of discussing Qin Feng, becoming the newest wave of converts.

For a time, nearly everyone at Canaan Star Martial Arts University—whether they were on campus or away on missions, senior students or new freshmen—was trying to learn about, analyze, and discuss this Demon who had burst onto the scene.

Within a single day, the name Qin Feng had gone viral, truly becoming known to one and all.

He had, completely and utterly, made a name for himself throughout Canaan.

As the discussions grew increasingly intense, a new title began to emerge, one that quickly gained widespread acceptance.

"Even though Qin Feng ultimately placed third, everyone knew that if it weren’t for those two absurdly powerful ’hundred-year monsters,’ Zheng Dong and Zhou Run, who else could possibly have been the champion of this year’s Fourth Level Division Newcomer Cup?"
