Chapter 929: The Almighty Absorption Ability

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Feng did not hesitate and selected his innate ability—Absorption.

This ability was close to being invincible. As long as he could absorb other’s abilities with this, he could regain his power quickly.

Besides, the ability did not need any prerequisites. Qin Feng had been using it as soon as his conscious energy was awakened.

After he pinpointed the ability, the now transparent conscious globe was left with a small blob of dark aura. It was none other than the dark runes for his Absorption Ability.

The newly appeared diamond starglobe felt a little chilled as compared to before. Qin Feng immediately figured that it was an ice crystal core.

There was little time for him to examine the unfamiliar globe. As soon as he made his pick, the blue light abandoned him and Qin Feng realized he was no longer on the s.h.i.+p. He had arrived at a new world.

‘Secret dimension!’

Qin Feng studied the area closely once he realized where he was at.

The place appeared like a cla.s.sroom. In front of him stood a lady with an unworldly white skin tone, which made her look rather eerie.

A chilled aura emanated quietly around her.

Qin Feng looked around and found more white figures like her. They were all female.

“Child, what’s your name?” The lady tried to talk in a soft tone. However, her face was stone cold as if she was collecting a huge debt from Qin Feng.

Qin Feng reckoned this must be a test made by this dimension. He thought about it and answered, “My name is Xuan Feng.”

The lady did not seem all that interested to know his name. She nodded and said, “You transferred here in the middle of this semester. I’m afraid that you might not be able to catch up on our syllabus. I hope you can learn this ability in three days. Otherwise, you would not be qualified to enter the Snow Viscountess College.”

As she spoke, she threw five pieces of beast skin to Qin Feng.

Cold aura radiated from the skin surface.

Qin Feng opened them and immediately saw ice runes swirling around them.

With his consciousness, Qin Feng recognized that the white figures around him were just holograms created by another conscious energy. However, the five beast skins were real.

‘Is this the inheritance? If so, Hu San would undoubtedly have the highest chance to succeed.’

Elemental runes were part of the natural law. Even if the secret dimension forcefully s.n.a.t.c.hed away existing runes and conscious energy from the partic.i.p.ants, the knowledge of rune mastery would not disappear. The body and mind would always remember how to a.s.similate and control the flow of the runes.

Hu San, being an S-tier ice ability user, would have no problem a.s.similating these runes in their rawest form.

Qin Feng examined the five beast skin scrolls and estimated that they contained up to five thousand ice runes. He was currently only at E-tier. To master everything in three days would require a prodigal level of comprehension and talent.

Some ultra beasts and humans might not need to undergo this test. Apparently, Qin Feng did not have such privilege.

‘I should give it a try anyway.’ Qin Feng put his conscious energy into action.

‘Ability, Absorb!’

Instantly, Qin Feng’s ability erupted and engulfed the ice runes in front of him. His crystal core began to spin as the runes permeated into his realm. As if they had found a home, the runes merged seamlessly with his crystal core.

Within a few breath cycles, all five thousand runes were absorbed by Qin Feng.

All the snow girls around him stared at Qin Feng bafflingly. Not only that but the teacher figure also looked at Qin Feng with surprise.

“Well, well, your talent is truly exceptional. Alright, you are allowed to join our cla.s.s.”

After that, the “teacher” taught him a lot of things. Qin Feng realized he could not leave the cla.s.sroom by his own will. Time around him seemed to be speeding forward. It would only stop momentarily when the “teacher” took out different skin scrolls from time to time.

She explained the theories hastily. Some were extremely complex but immeasurably useful.

Qin Feng never knew that element and ability could be interpreted this way.

If these theories and knowledge were to be brought back to the Human Alliance, it would revolutionize their current understanding of elemental runes. The scholars would certainly be shocked and enthused by the breakthrough in paradigm. It would bring greater hope to the future generation.

Hence, Qin Feng listened with full concentration. Those that he could not comprehend, he simply memorized them and had them imprinted in his consciousness realm.

More than ten days later, Qin Feng had obtained eight skin scrolls’ worth of runes. At the same time, he had also mastered more abilities. He was now a D-tier.

This was when time stopped moving once again.

“This is your final day in the cla.s.s. We will be having an audition at the graduation ceremony. The strongest among you will be rewarded. I hope you will try your best to perform well during the audition.”

“Yes, Teacher,” The girls around him answered emotionlessly.

During these ten days, Qin Feng had understood a few things. From the fragmented information provided by the “teacher” during the cla.s.s, this world probably existed a long, long time ago. This was probably a replay of a memory, experienced by the lady who had planted this inheritance.

Such a dimension that inflicted flashbacks was rather common. Qin Feng immediately identified its true form.

Now, it was up to Qin Feng to win the audition and acquire the inheritance. He would not be the lone partic.i.p.ant.

This time, Qin Feng finally got to exit the cla.s.sroom. He followed the “teacher” to the field.

Seats were arranged all around the field. On it sat row after row of identical snow ladies.

However, the partic.i.p.ants on the stage were all kinds of ultra beasts. The audiences did not react accordingly to the anomalous scene. It was as if the ultra beasts were also their kinds.

Qin Feng sat on his seat and immediately spotted Hu San.

“Qin Feng, you are still around!” Hu San was a little surprised. But he soon found an explanation. “As a prodigy, the principle of ice runes should not be too difficult for you to understand. At the very least, you are way smarter than these primeval ultra beasts.”

Qin Feng frowned. He scanned the surroundings and realized only 90% of the ultra beasts that boarded the s.h.i.+p had survived the first test.

“So, understanding the runes is considered the first stage? Ultra beasts that do not comprehend it could not have made it here…”

“Still, it’s better than none. This inheritance has given them a new crystal core.”

“That’s right. I earned it too!”

When he first entered the inheritance dimension, Qin Feng’s physique and conscious energy had weakened substantially, as if his soul had entered a different body. Nevertheless, the ability core felt vivid and real. It was connected directly to his consciousness. This was perhaps a reward to everyone who managed to board the s.h.i.+p.

If this was the most basic gift, what came next would be even more impressive.

‘Hope that this won’t take long. Otherwise, Bai Li might wake from her sleep.’ Qin Feng murmured as his eyes were fixed on the arena.

A light abruptly landed near him and teleported two creatures from the partic.i.p.ant seats onto the arena. The first fight had commenced.
