In the end, Feng Qi still failed to find any information on why Mu Qing became a Rune Modifier on the Star City Academy Forum.
With nothing found, Feng Qi stopped insisting.
It was late at night. After washing up, he lay down on his bed and soon entered the dreamland.
Dark clouds hung low, and corpses littered the ground.
A chilling current swept across the earth as the roars of Living Dead rose and fell in the distance.
Opening his eyes, Feng Qi skillfully picked up a broken bone and brought it down in a leaping strike, smashing the still-unsteady "Little Cripple" to the ground. He then stepped forward and struck it several more times, killing it.
After finishing all this, he turned his gaze westward.
That area was shrouded in white mist that blocked his vision, but every so often, scarlet eyes or ghostly figures flickered through the fog.
It seemed the narrator had noticed Feng Qi's curiosity toward the white mist zone, for a line of narration appeared in his mind.
Realizing that the white mist was fraught with danger, you smothered your curiosity and decided to continue hunting Living Dead to grow stronger!
Feng Qi: ...
Suppressing his curiosity, he followed the narrator's advice and continued hunting Living Dead.
Heading east toward the Star City Shelter, Feng Qi began hunting not only crippled Living Dead, but intact ones as well.
With his physical strength improving and the bodily enhancement provided by his Prefix Title, ordinary Living Dead could no longer threaten him.
The first time he entered the Future Dreamland, even killing a crippled Living Dead had required some effort.
But now, even in a direct confrontation, he could easily kill a Living Dead in a short time. His killing efficiency rose alongside his strength.
Following the familiar route, he encountered several worms that crawled out from beneath piles of dry bones. Without exception, they all became experience fodder, raising the milestone percentage of his "Tenacity" Prefix Title.
This time, Feng Qi's goal in entering the Future Dreamland was still the Star City Shelter.
In his view, having only Cultivation Gymnastics and Fierce Tiger Fist in his head was clearly not enough.
Otherwise, how could he show off in the real world? How could he become a genius?
There was neither moon nor sun in the dream world, and visibility was dim. Feng Qi moved among the Living Dead, killing his way forward without pause.
By the time he reached the stone monument again, his attributes had changed.
Tenacity · Normal Living Dead: Feng Qi Strength Level: Unranked Prefix Titles: Normal, Tenacity LV1 (muscle tenacity increased by 1%) Bloodline: Human (Elementary) Bloodline Evolution Points: 58/1000 Prefix Title Milestones: Normal (Upgradeable): Second Milestone: 48% Tenacity LV1 (Upgradeable): 54%
As he absorbed more and more Bloodline Evolution Points, the organs within Feng Qi's body were now covered by a layer of pink new flesh. The rotting stench had noticeably faded, and the muscle lines on his body had become clearer.
At the very least, he felt he was getting closer and closer to being human.
Or perhaps he was becoming some huge muscle freak, like the Tyrant from Resident Evil.
"Shut up!"
Arriving before the stone monument, he dripped in his blood. The monument slowly opened, revealing a Metal Passage.
Stepping into the passage, Feng Qi headed straight for the Database.
After skillfully activating the Database, he first searched for information about himself.
Feng Qi (cultivation method researcher): Age at Death: 32 Cause of Death: During an external research mission, he followed the Desperate Domain Battle Squad deep into a Domain Field and was accidentally killed by a Domain Creature. Date of Death: April 8, 2042. Lifetime Achievements (Honors): Galaxy Academy B-rank Outstanding Graduate, modifier of Cultivation Gymnastics Version 0, B-rank Human Elite Medal, Outstanding Contribution Award for Human Development, creator of "Fierce Tiger Fist." Evaluation: He showed remarkable talent in his early years, improved Cultivation Gymnastics, and created the body cultivation method "Fierce Tiger Fist." He was regarded as humanity's rising star, but after that, he produced no further innovations in cultivation method research and was considered to have exhausted his talent. He ultimately died unexpectedly during an external research mission at the age of 32.
Young man, I see darkness on your brow. Your days are numbered. I bet you will not live past thirty-two.
"Shut up. Next time, I'll live to a hundred and show you."
Looking at the detailed information on the screen, Feng Qi realized something.
After he entered the dreamland, time in the real world had not stopped. However, since the version of himself in this timeline had not entered the dreamland again, he had only achieved Cultivation Gymnastics and Fierce Tiger Fist, with no further innovations in cultivation method research afterward.
Yet this time, humanity's evaluation of him in the future had improved once again.
The only thing that had not changed was his lifespan. It was pitifully short, and there always seemed to be one reason or another for him to leave this beautiful world early.
After reviewing his own information, Feng Qi opened the list of cultivation methods.
After searching, just as he had expected, the information on Fierce Tiger Fist had changed.
Fierce Tiger Fist (Sixth Revised Edition): Founder: Feng Qi Rating: Three Stars Description: Fierce Tiger Fist evolved from the ancient martial art Xingyiquan. It is an Utmost Yang and Might body cultivation method containing both cultivation techniques and body refinement skills, making it highly suitable for those with greater physical strength. Note: Those whose Bloodline Strength has not reached 20 points must not practice it, or they will suffer severe bodily damage.
After confirming the changes in the future, Feng Qi was about to study a new cultivation method when he suddenly thought of someone.
Without hesitation, he typed "Mu Qing" into the search field.
After filtering the results, Mu Qing's detailed information and photograph appeared.
The photo was extremely blurry, as though it had been secretly taken from afar. Mu Qing's expression was icy. Her loli figure had grown into that of a mature beauty, and the Rune Crystal on her right arm shimmered with dazzling light.
Mu Qing (Human Rebel): Introduction: Formerly a student at Star City Academy, she joined a Domain Battle Squad as a warrior after graduation. However, during an investigation operation, she betrayed her team and personally killed its captain. She then vanished without a trace, though in truth, she secretly recruited a large number of Scavengers, established the human rebel army "Dawn," restarted the Rune Modifier Project, and fought humanity for more than thirty years. Mu Qing's hands were stained with the blood of countless innocents. During this period, she led the rebels in massacring several human cities. Her sins were grave, and she was scorned by later generations. Tags: Rune Modifier, leader of the Dawn Rebels Personality: Brutal, cold-blooded, unscrupulous
Feng Qi:!!!
Humanity's future evaluation of Mu Qing left him somewhat unable to believe it.
He had never expected Loli Senior to become a Human Traitor. Not only had she failed to stand with humanity, she had instead turned her blade against it.
