Master of the End Times-Chapter 1004 - Power Showcase

Chapter 1004: Power Showcase

Tung Yang and Jiao Linhan from afar had seen everything Qin Feng did.

When Bai Li retracted the alternate dimension, Tung Yang still felt like he was in a dream.

“Qin Feng, when did you attain S-tier?” Tung Yang was stuttering. He then quickly shook his head. “No, that’s not right. You are actually S1-tier now?”

Qin Feng did not expose his true ability before this. Most of the time, it was Bai Li who took care of things.

Besides, since he progressed extraordinarily fast, Qin Feng had always obtained the certification only after he had leaped through several major tiers. It was no different this time. He had yet to get the badge on Earth after evolving into S-tier.

Furthermore, he had passed the strength test before being accepted into the Human Alliance. That made S-tier certification even less significant. Hence, Tung Yang was surprised to find that not only had Qin Feng reached S-tier, but he was in S1 territory now.

More bizarrely, Qin Feng had killed Endo with his own hand.

Endo was not a random nobody but a top-notch SS-tier aptitude user. Yet his life was ended by Qin Feng this easily?

Such news would cause turmoil once it gets out.

“Yeap. By the way, I still haven’t congratulated Regent Tung for reaching S-tier!” Qin Feng said.

“Same goes for you!” Tung Yang replied with a bitter smile. No doubt, attaining S-tier was a commendable achievement. But when it was compared to Qin Feng’s record, it did not seem that impressive anymore.

“Regent, my hands were tied so I had no choice but to kill Endo. It would have unwanted ramifications if news of his death were to get out. Could you pretend that you didn’t see anything and help me to keep it a secret?”

Endo still had a lot of underlings loyal to him. There were at least nine S-tiers under the SS-tier elect. If they knew Endo was killed by Qin Feng, he would be in deep trouble.

Though he was not afraid of any S-tiers, his concern lay in the safety of the Fengli Organization.

He would not be around all the time to protect the organization. At least right now, he planned to enter the Runic Realm.

“That would not be a problem. Nobody would believe me anyway!” Tung Yang promised.

“How about you, Master Jiao?” Qin Feng asked Jiao Linhan through his consciousness.

Jiao Linhan was staggered by the abrupt request. He quickly came near with a flattering smile.

“Who am I to be called master? Please stop calling me that. I know nothing about what happened just now.”

Jiao Linhan was not stupid. In fact, he feared Qin Feng more than anyone now.

He tried to convince Qin Feng to work under him earlier. When Qin Feng rejected him, he had not been friendly to him since. What was more, Jiao Linhan had even persuaded Bai Li to leave Qin Feng.

Thinking back on his actions, Jiao Linhan was embarrassed and wished to dig a hole to hide in.

Luckily, Qin Feng did not seem to be offended.

“It’s just a title. If someone comes later, please remember to say that Endo has entered the rift.”

The ability that Qin Feng had unleashed was formidable. Despite its destructive nature, the ability also came with natural camouflage. No matter how powerful one’s consciousness was, he or she could not have detected it from far as their perceptual ability would have been masked by Qin Feng’s dark runes.

As Qin Feng had foreseen, an aptitude user arrived not long after. He was none other than Qin Feng’s partner, Nangong Zeming.

Nangong Zeming was surprised to find them near the rift too.

“I didn’t expect to see you all here!”

Qin Feng and the rest greeted him as well. The arrival of Nangong Zeming caught them by surprise too.

Nangong Zeming sized them up closely. The aura that exploded from here earlier was abnormally vibrant. He immediately found the source.

“Regent Tung, congratulations on your upgrade!” Nangong Zeming said.

“I am not the only one. Qin Feng has reached S-tier too.” Tung Yang did not want to be put under the spotlight when someone more brilliant like Qin Feng was around.

Nangong Zeming laughed bigheartedly. “I have worked with him to develop a dimension just recently. It doesn’t shock me one bit that he has reached S-tier. He already had that in him when we first met. Besides, he is the only exception I know that was allowed into the Human Alliance before reaching S-tier. Now that you are also an S-tier, you should go and register your name under the alliance. I will lead you there later.”

“Thanks!”

“Haha! Please don’t take away my honor! I should be the one who introduces Tung Yang,” Jiao Linhan objected laughingly.

“Cool. Save me the trouble. Regent Tung, please don’t blame me for not helping you in the future!”

“No, no! Please don’t say that.”

After the initial small talks, Nangong Zeming finally remembered his purpose of coming here. He measured the large rift with concern. The jubilant atmosphere revolving around Tung Yang’s promotion evaporated rapidly.

“This rift is scarier than the spatial beast last time. Is there a powerful beast around here just now? I sensed an unusual aura around earlier.”

Tung Yang and Jiao Linhan tried to maintain a poker face. They wanted to keep the secret but were still too astounded to think of any pretense that could prevaricate Nangong’s question.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, was comfortable in his own skin. Endo was not the first SS2-tier he had killed, and would not be the last. Thus, his mind was at peace.

“Though the rift has been open for some time now, no beast has emerged from it as far as we know. Not only that, ample runes are oozing out from it. It is rich enough to enhance any ability user near it. As for the aura you mentioned, it belongs to Endo from the Dark Coalition.”

“The Violent Butcher? Are you guys alright?”

Qin Feng continued to build on his lie smoothly. He said calmly, “We are fine. He almost had us. Luckily I have a life-saving gem at disposal, which is ruined now. Endo left us after that and chose to enter the rift instead. He mentioned something about the Runic Realm. I guess he knows what hides behind this rift.”

“Runic Realm?” Nangong Zeming was shocked. “Could it be…”

“Master Nangong knows where this rift leads to?” Tung Yang quickly changed the topic seeing that Qin Feng had made the lie sound plausible. He did not want to discuss Endo anymore.

Besides, he was eager to know what Runic Realm was. Was this dimension really as good as Endo claimed?

Qin Feng pretended that this was his first time hearing the name as well. In fact, he had little info regarding this in his past life. The only thing he knew was that such a giant rift existed in the ocean, and only an S-tier was allowed to visit.

“The Runic Realm is very different from the dimensions we know about. However, as an ancient warrior, I am not that well-informed either. All I know is that such a dimension is a blessing to ability users.”

Endo had said something similar as well.
