Qin Feng was impressed by Wang Chen’s brainwashing scheme. ‘Unawakened prospects?’ The name might not be appealing but it did the trick on these people.
Qin Feng decided against saying anything motivational. He did not need to. No words could emulate the challenge and exhilaration they were going to experience in the next phase of their lives.
“First, assemble the pillars,” Qin Feng commanded.
They moved quickly and set up the new spatial gateway efficiently.
This type of passageway was a technique yet to be mastered by the Human Alliance. It would shock the world if Fengli were to unveil such a groundbreaking invention to the world. But Bai Li had little interest in turning her skill into an asset. She was unaware that this technique was so valuable until Qin Feng needed it to connect the two dimensions.
As for Qin Feng, he would not publicize it either. Why would he want to tell the world who Bai Li really was?
Though some might have guessed Bai Li’s identity, they could only speculate as long as Qin Feng did not confirm it.
As the new spatial gateway was set, the spatial stones Qin Feng had used earlier popped off quietly. The spatial tunnel collapsed along with it.
It did not bother Qin Feng. He could re-open the passage anytime by using the blood of the beast in this world on the new door.
“Wait here.”
Qin Feng exited the cave and returned swiftly. He came back with the thigh of a beast in his hand.
He went back outside again and harvested the thigh of the unicorn beast king this time.
“Have the meat grilled,” Qin Feng ordered.
“Li Yue, you are up!” Wang Cheng picked a chef he knew.
Li Yue was a fire-type ability user but he was only at G5-tier. His talent was subpar after awakening.
He was given this opportunity because his sister was a manager in the Fengli Organization.
Li Yue was an aptitude user, being a chef was never something he enjoyed working as.
Though he did not understand why Qin Feng needed the meat to be cooked, Li Yue did not question senselessly and did what he does best.
He skillfully set up a campfire and needed only a short time to roast the fine meats. The delicious smell of the cooked meat immediately filled the cave.
Qin Feng sliced a piece of the meat and put it into his mouth.
He chewed it and was delighted by its taste. The beasts here seemed to have directed the energy throughout their bodies. They did not have a crystal core like ultra beasts on earth. Instead, every part of their body could be turned into a palatable meal.
Qin Feng could not get enough of it.
The taste of the beast king’s drum went without saying.
Coupled with Li Yue’s impeccable cooking, this meal was Qin Feng’s best in the past three days. More importantly, Qin Feng could feel a flow of energy running through his meridian into his limbs and organs. Though subtle, it had indeed strengthened his body.
But even the subtle change was significant. After all, Qin Feng was already a B5-tier ancient warrior. It was often not easy to progress at this stage.
Qin Feng then sliced another piece, then turned to the orderly troop. They could hardly contain their saliva.
“These unicorn meats contain ample energy in it. From my observation, insectoids here have undergone a drastic transformation after consuming the unicorn carcasses. According to the law of nature in our world, if a low-tier aptitude user consumes a high-tier beast’s flesh or some Heavenly Jewels with violent energy, it would usually end tragically.”
Qin Feng scanned them and realized his words had terrified most of them. They remained still but their widened irises and gulping throats betrayed their fears.
“However, for some unknown reason, this dimension has its pure energy contained or weakened. This is the reason why you guys are here. I wish to test whether this meat could be consumed by weaker ranks, and also whether it could enhance one’s potential quicker. Your mission here is to adapt, hunt, and get stronger. I wish to see every one of you become a capable aptitude user. But in the end, it’s up to your dedication.”
This, after all, still came with a lot of risks.
The insectoid might be a primal organism. Though they could transform after consuming the meat, humans as a more complex organism might not respond in the same manner. Other than the human mutation experiment, there was no precedence that a human’s form could be transfigured or modified easily.
Despite Z having already tried feeding his subject with the beast’s meat and found no repulsion, there were still too many unknown factors.
What if there was still a tolerance limit? It was hard to predict whether the subject might implode due to excessive energy or turn into a horrible creature after consuming the raw energy.
They simply did not have enough data at hand to declare it was completely risk-free.
But at the same time, Qin Feng also knew this was a golden opportunity for many people.
As such, he wanted to see whether he could “crash course” a group of aptitude users.
If this worked out exactly as he envisioned it, a commoner could easily become a D-tier aptitude user by eating B-tier beasts’ flesh. That was impressive enough.
Thus, he put his idea into action.
Qin Feng sliced the drum meat personally and put it on a plate.
He held the plate out, waiting for the first volunteer to claim it.
“I would like to try, President.” A commoner named Han Mingwen emerged from the troop and walked past Wang Cheng.
He was a nobody, not even a gunner. But he carried a blood feud with him.
Han Mingwen wanted revenge. He had to become an aptitude user, whatever the cost. His ultimate aim was to become a bounty hunter and chase down every last one of the criminals who belonged to the Dark Coalition.
Hence, he did not hesitate and bit greedily. He did not chew much but the meat was probably the tastiest food he had ever put into his mouth.
When the meat reached his stomach, a flaring sensation blasted off inside his body. The energy reached the tips of his limbs and dwelled in his bones. His frail frame bloated thoroughly as if energy was being pumped directly into his muscle and blood. He had never felt such vigor in his life.
“This… Is this the feeling of awakening?” Han Wenming looked at his body in disbelief.
Qin Feng raised his palm and said, “Punched my hand. I would like to test your power.”
Without consciousness, Qin Feng could not judge Han Wenming’s strength based on probing. But he could still distinguish the strength level of a punch or a kick based on physical contact.
Han Mingwen did not hesitate. He reflexively threw a punch right at Qin Feng’s palm.
Pow!
The punch did not stagger Qin Feng even a little. However, the force and speed of the punch could never be generated by a weak commoner.
Even Qin Feng was baffled by the result.
“The strength of a G5-tier ancient warrior. If this was tested with the machine, I believe the punch would score around 2800,” Qin Feng said.
“How is that possible?” Wang Cheng and the other gunners were dumbfounded by the revelation.
Han Mingwen was really just an ordinary man before today.
After an ordinary person had received the awakening jab, their attack power was usually at most at around 50, which varied from individual to individual.
If they could boost it to 100 within a month, then they could become a gunner. As for the ancient warrior path, it required a thick meridian and at least 300 attack power. Otherwise, they could only call themselves an apprentice.
For G-tier certification, the first requirement was that the aptitude user had to reach 500 attack power. F-tier was ten times that number.
To put things into perspective, Han Mingwen was already halfway to an F-tier after taking only one slice of the meat. It was unbelievable!
