Qin Feng could clearly feel that some things were changing. A clearer mind and sharper perception, far from something that could be brought by the mere ranking up of consciousness.
“It must be talent. I originally had an S-tier consciousness talent, if the rune affinity is the same, I could become an S-tier ability user in the future. Though, now…”
Qin Feng felt that his consciousness talent was probably over S tier by now! However, it was probably nowhere near SS rank at this point.
“One more!” Qin Feng said and Bai Li pa.s.sed him one more conscious fruit, once more he quickly drained it after a few large gulps. Soon, the conscious fruits were downed one after the other, by the fifth one, Qin Feng felt that his stomach could no longer handle it.
“Ability, Absorb!”
Qin Feng urged his innate ability to consume the energy remaining within his stomach.
Everyone absorbed energy differently, some people absorbed it well, some people had a hard time doing so. To have taken in so much in one go, Qin Feng naturally would have had trouble consuming all of it, but since he had the absorption ability, it was not a problem at all.
A huge wave of energy quickly spread throughout Qin Feng's body. His consciousness had a breakthrough once again!
F5-tier!
Qin Feng's perception increased again! It had now expanded to two hundred meters, and his consciousness control seemed to have reached five kilometers in range.
“Again!” Qin Feng felt that the hidden talent would soon be promoted! The potential of one's consciousness was really huge. The kind of potential that would normally be acc.u.mulated over time was triggered by Qin Feng's absorption ability, thus resulting in this rapid advancement.
Bai Li took the fruits out again and Qin Feng ate them one by one. No normal being would be able to absorb anymore. He swallowed fifteen in one single sitting!
F6-tier!
Three hundred meters now, the control was now six kilometers. Not only that, Qin Feng's consciousness finally broke that threshold to become an SS-tier talent.
Qin Feng felt that everything had changed. Yet, he could not specify what had changed.
Only that Zhou Hao and everyone else had suddenly woken up, they looked around and realized that there was no danger then they went back to sleep, scared witless.
The second day came and Zhao Yu's condition did not look any better. She had dark shadows under her eyes and had a spell of listlessness around her.
On the contrary, Zhou Hao who had experienced the Corpse Corps on Zimu Mountains slept soundly despite being on guard the first half of the night, as did Zhang Tianche.
“I'm afraid there are going to be tough battles ahead today,” Qin Feng quietly said.
“Maybe we'll meet the students from the other universities, like those from Chengyang University. They would have caught up by now!” Zhou Hao peered around before starting to walk.
“Yeah, maybe we'll have to fight them too!” Zhao Yu slowly nodded.
Zhang Tianche finally spoke, adding, “A person with weak strength would have just spent a night in the outer circle. Everyone in the inner circle is not weak, combine that with being in a team, they can take down any G-tier beast.”
If one were not able to handle a G-tier ultra beast, they would not even be in the Spring Hunting Garden in the first place.
“Regardless of all that, let's get moving. This time, I'll take point, everyone try to keep radio contact!”
Previously, Qin Feng had been opening up a path for the team in the front. Last night's ambush would not have happened if Qin Feng did a sweep with his perception ability.
Extending one's consciousness had a limit, and was normally rarely used. Now, Qin Feng had reached F6-tier in consciousness, even if he did not activate his ability he would be able to see everything within three hundred meters in his mind, just like a radar.
In other words, it was a more convenient way to find a path.
The other three knew that they had to be careful. Qin Feng was fifty meters ahead of them, and after a certain distance he would leave marks in order to direct Zhou Hao and the others on where to go.
Being ahead, Qin Feng quickly found himself in a rather special part of the forest.
There was a banana tree here. However, it did not have ordinary fruits. Nowadays, fruits have undergone mild changes in the wild, causing fruits in the colonies to be more expensive than meat products.
“Bully bananas!”
After eating these bananas, a person could increase their weak energy. While they were not as strong as fortification elixirs, they did not have any side effects.
Large apt.i.tude user families in Chengyang City fed their children these bananas as snacks to strengthen the body of the future generation. Therefore, those in an apt.i.tude user family would naturally get stronger and stronger.
Also, there were people here already! Xita University's people.
There were more than thirty of them, two of them were wearing dark-green badges with golden rims which had the number 1 and 2 written on each respectively.
“Hurry up, people are gonna come!”
“You! Draw away those barbarous monkeys!”
“Move it!”
Bully bananas were the favorite food of barbarous monkeys and naturally had become a hindrance to the students. However, due to the large number of people, they had come up with a good plan. Some people would lure the monkeys away while the rest would go and pick the bananas.
If it worked out, there would be a bountiful harvest.
“Guys, move thirty degrees to the right, there's good stuff over there. Lets go get it!”
Qin Feng ignored the Xita University students. At this time, it was better to take advantage of the wild monkeys being drawn away by other people and reap the benefits.
“Right! We'll be there soon!” Zhou Hao's voice crackled from the radio. Within two minutes, the four had gathered together.
This was a large forest, Qin Feng and his team harvesting here would not have them cross paths with the others.
“Bully bananas!” Zhou Hao's eyes lit up. “Sweet!”
Zhou Hao did not want to pay attention to the G-tier monkeys, rushing out to cleanly and quickly sweep them up. Of course, most of the monkeys were being distracted by Xita University students, with only some left to pick them up.
Needless to say, their actions would not escape the eyes of a Xita sniper.
“d.a.m.n it, these people from Chengbei University are actually stealing from us!”
“Steal from us?! Kill them!”
“Wait, one of them is from the ability user course. It's number one!”
One of the ability users standing in the crowd raised his brows in interest.
“Number one of Chengbei's ability user cla.s.s?”
“Yes, Lin Mao, I'm sure. It's a girl!”
The one called Lin Mao was number one in the Xita University ability cla.s.s. His parents were both F-tier and had a high position within the Xita District. Naturally, he had wanted to be a powerful ability user ever since he was small.
Today, he even partic.i.p.ated in the Spring Hunting Garden with grades at the top of his cla.s.s. It was no doubt that he was one of Xita University's seeded players, a future hope.
Due to him having strength and being rich, five teams had decided to follow him, including the second place, Qian Tao.
This was Xita University's strongest team.
“Since that's the case, why don't we go and take a look. Show them what happens when they steal from us!”
Lin Mao let out a frosty laugh, picked up his pace and walked over.
