Chapter 64: Lin Family’s Investigation
Qin Feng was ecstatic.
The absorption rate of his Peerless talent was extraordinary.
Now, his mastery of both wind and fire elements had reached perfection, significantly enhancing his power.
Without delay, he continued his cultivation.
As he cultivated, the elemental forces of ice, wind, fire, and thunder flowed through his body.
With his ice elemental talent now reaching Peerless level, his cultivation speed increased by more than tenfold.
At this rate, the completion of his Ice element’s Divine Seal would surpass even the Thunder Seal in speed.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon the next day.
Qin Feng opened his eyes with a delighted expression.
This time, both his ice and thunder elements had broken through to the first-star level, causing another explosive increase in his power.
Unable to contain his excitement, Qin Feng eagerly brought up his cultivation template:
Cultivator: Qin Feng
Wind Affinity (Peerless): First Star Perfection (Second Star Mark 3.4%)
Thunder Affinity (Peerless): Early First Star (0.01%)
Ice Affinity (Peerless): Early First Star (0.01%)
Fire Affinity (Good): First Star Perfection (Second Star Mark 53.1%)
Innate Skill: God-Level Devouring
Combat Skill: Berserk Strike
Support Skill: Ice Concealment Technique
Combat Power Index: 6000 points
“Haha!! All four elements have broken through!”
Qin Feng was beyond thrilled.
He was now the only four-elementalist in this world and his combat power had reached a terrifying 6000 points.
To put it into perspective, the threshold for early three-star power was only around 5000 points.
With his current strength, he could effortlessly dominate early three-star opponents.
In fact, not just early three-star opponents—he dared to face even late three-star powerhouses in battle.
If word of this spread, no one would believe it.
After all, there were fewer than twenty experts in Yunyang Base bCity who were above late three-star level.
And Yunyang Base City was merely a mid-sized base city.
Moments later, Qin Feng left his small house in high spirits and headed towards Yunyang City.
He was eager to see Chu Chu as soon as possible.
He hadn’t seen her for a day and was worried about how she was doing.
The Lin family had likely already traced her whereabouts, and he couldn’t afford to delay.
Of course, his main purpose in returning to Yunyang City was to eliminate the Lin family.
As long as the Lin family remained, he wouldn’t have peace of mind.
With his increased strength, Qin Feng’s speed had multiplied several times.
This time, it took him just over two hours to return to the S-22 defense zone.
Along the way, he encountered one or two demonic beasts, but they were all five-element beasts and not the ice or thunder types he needed.
These two elemental beasts were exceedingly rare and hard to come by.
This was one reason Qin Feng wanted to return to Yunyang City—to purchase demon cores.
He didn’t have the time to hunt for ice and thunder beasts, but he did have the money!
From the resources he reclaimed from Lin Zhongyue alone, he had amassed over 2 billion in wealth.
Additionally, the monster corpses he had harvested netted him over 400 million.
Selling Zhou Changtong’s Fire God Staff added another 500 million.
Combined with his own savings of over 300 million, he now had a staggering 3.3 billion in funds.
In this world, as long as one had power, earning money was remarkably easy.
These funds were more than enough to purchase the demon cores he needed, as well as luxury cars, villas, primordial weapons…
Just thinking about it brought Qin Feng immense satisfaction.
As Qin Feng entered the S-22 defense zone, in the deputy commander’s office…
Wang Jianlai was warmly entertaining a distinguished guest.
This guest was none other than Lin Xue of the Lin family.
“Deputy Commander Wang, thank you for your help with this matter!” Lin Xue said gracefully, sipping her fragrant tea on the sofa.
“You’re too kind! It’s just a small matter!” Wang Jianlai replied with a fawning smile.
Just then, footsteps echoed outside the office door.
“Report!”
“Come in!”
The door opened, and an adjutant walked in, holding a document in his hand.
“What’s the situation?” Wang Jianlai asked casually.
“Reporting, Commander. The situation has been clarified. The girl named Chu Chu belongs to He Feng’s refugee team. Yesterday, during their patrol mission, they were attacked by a group of ferocious beasts. Only seven members escaped, while He Feng and three others are missing.”
“Among the seven who escaped was Chu Chu. Commander, here is the survivor’s report.” The adjutant handed over the document.
Wang Jianlai casually took it and flipped through it.
Meanwhile, Lin Xue’s hand trembled slightly, nearly spilling her tea.
Chu Chu wasn’t dead?!
That’s bad news!
Lin Xue felt a growing unease.
“Hmm, it seems to be just an ordinary beast attack. That Chu Chu was lucky!” Wang Jianlai skimmed the report and tossed it onto the coffee table.
“Deputy Commander Wang, may I take a look at this report?” Lin Xue asked calmly, setting her teacup aside.
“Of course!”
Lin Xue smiled faintly and picked up the report to examine it carefully.
A moment later, she finished reading it.
The report seemed unproblematic.
All the survivors’ statements were consistent: during the beast attack, everyone scattered in different directions, and no suspicious individuals were seen.
After reading the report, even Lin Xue found herself half-convinced that this was just an ordinary beast attack.
But she knew better.
She was familiar with her nephew, Lin Xuyang.
He was ruthless and meticulous, ensuring that his actions left no trace of the truth.
“Deputy Commander Wang, may I meet this Chu Chu?” Lin Xue asked, smiling as she returned the report to the table.
“No problem!” Wang Jianlai readily agreed.
After all, it was just a refugee, not a big deal.
Besides, the Lin family was one of the three great noble families in Yunyang Base City. Wang Jianlai naturally wanted to maintain good relations with them.
“Deputy Adjutant, bring that Chu Chu here!”
