Global Superpower: I Control All Elements

Chapter 87: Generous Challenge Rewards

The Sand Demon instantly sensed that something was wrong.

But at that moment, Qin Feng dove directly into the sandpile and pressed the remote control button.

Three ultra-micro nuclear warheads detonated simultaneously.

Boom~~!!

The heavens and the earth trembled!

A blinding explosion lit up the entire sky, drowning out all other light.

For an instant, everything turned black.

Amidst the deafening explosion, the anguished screams of both the Sand Demon and Qin Feng echoed together.

In the next moment, the world slowly regained its brightness, and a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

A colossal crater had formed on the ground, and countless grains of sand had melted into glass-like substances.

A dense dust cloud enveloped the land.

Through the swirling smoke and dust, the Sand Demon stood, its body in tatters, staring ahead.

Several kilometers away, Qin Feng writhed in the sand.

At this moment, he was covered in blood, his appearance utterly wretched.

His Blazing Fire Armor, which had shielded him from the blast, was completely destroyed, reduced to broken fragments hanging off his body.

The intense heat from the explosion, reaching tens of thousands of degrees, had burned away all his hair and eyebrows.

The destructive power of these nuclear warheads was simply terrifying.

Even though they were the weakest kind of ultra-micro nuclear warheads, three detonating at once was enough to kill a Four-Star early-stage expert.

In reality, Qin Feng had been thousands of meters away from the blast center and had burrowed into the sand to reduce the impact.

Yet, he was still severely injured, barely clinging to life.

Luckily, his body had been strengthened by the four elemental energies and further enhanced by Level 5 Gene Serum, making his physical resilience comparable to a Four-Star expert.

Moreover, he had preemptively absorbed a beast core, preventing immediate death.

Qin Feng staggered to his feet.

Not far away, the Sand Demon slowly collapsed.

Before dying, its eyes were filled with disbelief.

How is this human still alive?!

The next second, its body disintegrated, leaving behind several treasures on the ground.

Haha!!

Success!!

The Sand Demon was slain within ten minutes—mission complete!

Qin Feng was overjoyed.

At the same time, he felt relieved.

Earlier, he had asked Liu Yan about these ultra-micro nuclear warheads and learned that a single one was not enough to kill a Four-Star expert.

Only a triple strike would work.

Thus, he had used three at once—and it had paid off!

Right, I need to collect the spoils of battle!

Qin Feng quickly swallowed several beast cores and rushed forward.

His mission was complete, and his time in this world was limited. He had to secure his loot as soon as possible.

As he moved, the God Level Devouring ability activated.

The beast core’s energy continuously mended his wounds.

His shriveled, burnt muscles regenerated, his charred skin shed, and even his burned hair and eyebrows began to grow back.

By the time he reached the massive crater at the explosion site, his injuries had mostly healed.

This God Level Devouring’s healing ability is incredible!

Haha!! Got the treasure!

Qin Feng picked up the three items left behind by the Sand Demon, his heart filled with joy.

This was a huge windfall!

The three treasures were: a crystal core, a skill stone and a mysterious black sand with spiritual energy

The crystal core was Level 19, equivalent to a Four-Star early-stage beast core.

Qin Feng recycled it in the system shop and received 3 billion universal credits in return.

This made him ecstatic.

Making money is too easy!

Just this one item alone far exceeded the cost of the nuclear warheads and the Blazing Battle Armor!

He had struck gold.

If hunting Four-Star beasts is this profitable, I should do it more often!

However, Four-Star beasts, like Four-Star Elemental Masters, were incredibly rare.

Qin Feng then examined the skill stone.

Item Name: Skill Stone (Earth Escape)

Category: Rare Artifact

Note: Cannot be devoured (Requires Earth Element Physique)

“Damn, I can’t absorb this one!”

He had no choice but to store it away for later, hoping to acquire an Earth Element talent in the future.

Next, he examined the mysterious black sand. A light screen appeared in his vision.

Item Name: Reverse Flow Sand

Category: Primordial Weapon

Grade: Mid-Tier

Effect: Special Type (Both Offensive and Defensive)

Note: Cannot be used (Requires Earth Element Energy)

“This is a huge score!”

Qin Feng was thrilled.

Special-type Primordial Weapons were extremely rare.

Low-tier Primordial Weapons almost never had special properties.

Only Mid-tier Primordial Weapons had a chance to possess special abilities, making them 2 to 3 times more valuable than regular Primordial Weapons.

For example, normal Mid-tier Primordial Weapons were worth 10-50 billion credits.

Special-type ones, however, could reach 50-100 billion!

Since the Reverse Flow Sand had survived a nuclear explosion unscathed, its value was certainly on the higher end—possibly close to 100 billion!

This realization made Qin Feng break out in a cold sweat.

If the Sand Demon had used the Reverse Flow Sand’s defensive ability, it might not have died!

His victory had come down to luck.

Either way, the rewards were amazing!

The only downside was that both treasures were useless to him.

Because he didn’t have Earth Element Physique.

“I wonder if I’ll get an Earth Element talent as a reward?”

Qin Feng muttered to himself.

Just then, the system notification chimed.

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing your first One-Star God-Tier Challenge! Rewards are being distributed…”

“Ding! Reward: Wind Element Star Mark Fragment ×1!”

“Ding! Reward: Thunder Element Star Mark Fragment ×1!”

“Ding! Reward: Fire Element Star Mark Fragment ×1!”

“Ding! Reward: Ice Element Star Mark Fragment ×1!”

“Ding! Reward: Advanced Enhancement Stone ×1!”

“Ding! Reward: Skill Stone ×1!”

“Ding! Reward: Fire Element Talent Booster (Heaven-Tier) ×1!”

“Ding! Reward: Ice Element Talent Booster (Heaven-Tier) ×1!”

The rewards are insanely generous!

“As expected, I got a Fire Talent Booster! Huh? And an Ice one too?”

Qin Feng was overjoyed.

These were exactly what he needed!

The inspector from the Alliance was about to arrive, so he had to enhance his fire attribute talent as quickly as possible.

There was also the ice attribute enhancer—he could give it to Chuchu so the little girl could achieve a good score.

His ice attribute had already reached the supreme talent level, so there was no need for further improvement.

At that moment, Qin Feng focused his mind, and a red potion appeared in his hand.

It was the Fire Attribute Talent Enhancer (Heaven-Tier).

Without hesitation, Qin Feng drank it.

“Ding! Talent enhancement in progress…”

As the potion entered his body, it transformed into a warm energy that surged into his limbs and bones, silently reshaping his physique.

At times, it felt tingly and itchy; at other times, it was warm and soothing, an unusual yet comfortable sensation.

Qin Feng couldn’t help but close his eyes, immersing himself in the transformation.

This feeling lasted for several minutes.

“Ding! Congratulations, host! Fire attribute talent enhancement successful, now at Genius level!”

Great!

Qin Feng opened his eyes, filled with joy.

His fire attribute talent had reached the level he desired.

Unfortunately, it hadn’t yet reached the supreme level…

This Heaven-grade enhancer was still a tier below the Divine-grade one.

Qin Feng felt slightly unsatisfied.

He estimated that if he consumed another Heaven-grade enhancer, his fire attribute could reach the supreme talent level.

However, he wasn’t in a rush for that.

After all, he still had another opportunity to challenge the One-Star Divine-Level Challenge, which offered two chances.

The next challenge reward might contain another one.

Next, Qin Feng proceeded to absorb the remaining rewards.

“Ding! Successfully devoured Wind Attribute Star Pattern Fragment, second star pattern cohesion progress +40%…”

As expected, these star pattern fragments accelerated the cohesion of his second star pattern.

Delighted, Qin Feng continued devouring them.

“Ding! Successfully devoured Thunder Attribute Star Pattern Fragment, second star pattern cohesion progress +40%…”

“Ding! Successfully devoured Ice Attribute Star Pattern Fragment…”

“Ding! …”

“Ding! Successfully devoured Skill Stone, obtained skill—’Ice Sealing Technique’!”

Ice Sealing Technique: Instantly freezes the target or slows their movements.

Another new skill! And it was a control-type skill, exactly what Qin Feng was lacking.

Qin Feng was pleased.

His abilities were becoming more well-rounded, and his overall strength was improving rapidly.

At that moment, he focused his mind again, and a silver spirit stone appeared in his hand.

This was his final reward.

A glowing screen popped up before his eyes.

Item Name: Advanced Enhancement Stone

Category: Rare Item (Extremely Rare)

Effect: Upgrades a normal skill into an advanced skill.

“Hiss~! This is a real treasure!”

Qin Feng took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement.

What was an advanced skill?

When an Elementalist reached the Six-Star Rank, they could form a Six-Pointed Star Array, awakening an advanced skill.

Simply put, only Six-Star Elementalists and above could master advanced skills.

Qin Feng’s Berserk Strike, Ice Concealment, and Ice Sealing Technique were all just ordinary skills.

But with the Advanced Enhancement Stone, he could instantly obtain an advanced skill.

“System, upgrade ‘Ice Sealing Technique’!”

“Ding! Enhancing…”

The Advanced Enhancement Stone dissolved, and a refreshing sensation spread throughout Qin Feng’s body, making him feel extremely comfortable.

“Ding! Enhancement successful! ‘Ice Sealing Technique’ has evolved into ‘Absolute Ice Seal’.”

Absolute Ice Seal: An advanced skill capable of instantly freezing anything, reaching absolute zero, with immense power.

Qin Feng quickly opened his Challenge Interface.

Challenger: Qin Feng (King-Level)

Level: 9 (One-Star Grand Completion)

Wind Attribute Realm (Supreme): One-Star Grand Completion (Second Star Pattern 47%)

Thunder Attribute Realm (Supreme): One-Star Grand Completion (Second Star Pattern 43%)

Ice Attribute Realm (Supreme): One-Star Grand Completion (Second Star Pattern 43%)

Fire Attribute Realm (Genius): One-Star Grand Completion (Second Star Pattern 93.2%)

Innate Skill: God Level Devouring

Combat Skills: Berserk Strike

Support Skills: Ice Concealment Technique, Absolute Ice Seal (Advanced Skill)

Combat Power Index: 8000 Points

After reviewing his stats, Qin Feng smiled.

His Fire Attribute’s Second Star Pattern Cohesion had reached 93.2%, on the verge of breaking through.

The other three attributes had also progressed significantly, which satisfied him greatly.

However, his title was still at King-Level—it seemed advancing to the next rank was now much harder than before.

Satisfied, Qin Feng closed the interface.

Just then, his remaining time expired.

A flash of white light enveloped him, and he was transported out of the Challenge Space.
