Global Superpower: I Control All Elements

Chapter 7 Explosive Combat Power

Qin Feng left the crowd quietly and approached a power-testing machine in the corner.

Just then, a cleaning lady noticed him. She gave him a peculiar look before walking over.

“Young man, are you in the wrong place? This is the testing hall, meant for genetic warriors and Body Strengthening experts…” Her tone had a faint trace of arrogance.

She wore a civilian badge prominently on her chest, which seemed both noticeable and out of place.

In this world, being a civilian meant having some status, as the less privileged refugees had no chance to land a decent job like hers. This thought filled her with pride. She assumed Qin Feng, dressed plainly, was likely a refugee just here to look around.

Qin Feng ignored her and continued walking. He had seen this type of person many times—someone who was part of the lower class but still managed to look down on others in an attempt to feel superior.

“Hey! Young man, I worked hard to clean this floor, so don’t dirty it!” The cleaning lady followed him persistently, mopping wherever his feet had touched, as if his footsteps were particularly filthy.

Qin Feng soon arrived at the power-testing machine in the corner. He threw a sudden punch, fast enough to create a sharp, sonic boom.

Boom!

Qin Feng’s full-force punch landed on the machine, shaking the entire testing hall with a thunderous impact.

The cleaning lady was caught off guard, jumping in shock. Everyone in the hall was startled and turned to look.

Ding… ding… ding…

The numbers on the display screen leapt up wildly, before the machine’s red lights blinked, and an ear-piercing over-limit alarm sounded.

The cleaning lady turned pale as she saw the numbers flash on the screen.

“Wow, it maxed out!”

The crowd in the distance gasped in surprise.

“Let’s go check it out!”

A group of spectators moved closer to see.

The cleaning lady, finally coming to her senses, looked at Qin Feng with utter terror in her eyes.

Oh no! This person is a big shot, far stronger than a Quasi-Elementalist! I’ve made a mistake!

“Sir… I… I…” The cleaning lady stammered, hoping to say something to smooth things over.

Qin Feng glanced at her disdainfully, not bothering to respond. As people crowded around, Qin Feng quietly slipped out through a side exit.

Moments later, the crowd surrounded the machine, where the over-limit alarm continued to blare. The number “200” was glaring on the display.

“It exceeded 200! Amazing, it maxed out!”

It turned out that this machine could only measure a maximum power index of 200. Anything beyond that caused it to overload and shut down.

“This is terrifying! Even a Quasi-Elementalist shouldn’t be able to surpass 200!”

“Master Chen Yan, who do you think that young man was? Could he have been an Elementalist?”

The crowd looked toward Chen Yan, the strongest among them. He commanded the highest respect.

Chen Yan took a deep breath and said, “To my knowledge, even a Quasi-Elementalist who has taken gene-enhancing drugs can only reach a power index of 180 at most. Reaching 200 is impossible, not even for beasts known for their physical prowess.”

“That means the young man just now must have been an Elementalist.” Chen Yan’s face showed a hint of reverence.

At this, the crowd nodded in agreement.

“Indeed! Only an Elementalist could achieve such power.”

“Oh my god, there was an Elementalist here just now!”

“And he was so young and handsome! What a missed opportunity!”

Among the crowd, the female genetic warriors with their athletic builds lamented. Years of intense training had given them enviable physiques, and the unpredictability of life as a warrior had also instilled in them a bold and passionate attitude. They believed in seizing the moment, aware of the shortness of life.

Meanwhile, the cleaning lady grew more and more uneasy.

Oh no! I’ve offended an Elementalist! I’m finished! If he’s unhappy, I could lose this precious job.

“Hey Aunt Wang, did you offend that master just now?” Chen Yan suddenly asked, noticing something.

“I… I…” The cleaning lady was flustered.

“Ah, it seems you really did offend him. Well, I hope the master doesn’t take it to heart, or else… Well, good luck!” Chen Yan sighed and walked away.

“Aunt Wang, you really lack judgment!” The onlookers shook their heads—some sympathetic, others secretly enjoying her misfortune.

The cleaning lady was almost in tears, silently praying that Qin Feng wouldn’t hold a grudge.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng had already left the building. He pulled up his attribute panel, now displaying some changes:

Cultivator: Qin Feng

Wind Affinity Level: Quasi-Elementalist (Wind-attribute assimilation 100%)

Thunder Affinity Level: Late Body Strengthening Stage (Thunder-attribute assimilation 85%)

Talent Skill: God Level Devouring

Combat Power Index: 243

“My combat power index is 243! It seems multi-element body refinement has extra benefits!” Qin Feng marveled at his stats.

Normally, a Quasi-Elementalist would have a combat power index around 100, so logically, two elemental refinements should result in about 200. But in reality, he had exceeded that, showing that dual-element refinement was not just 1 + 1 = 2 but 1+1 > 2.

“What if I refine a third element? Could the amplification be even greater? Could it potentially rival a One-Star Elementalist?” Qin Feng wondered excitedly.

A One-Star Elementalist had a combat power threshold of 500, over five times that of a Quasi-Elementalist. That was why becoming an Elementalist elevated one’s status so dramatically.

Qin Feng was eager to explore further. He still had one undeveloped element—ice.

“Ding! Ordinary Training Task Activated!”

“When the host raises the thunder affinity to the Quasi-Elementalist level, the host will be rewarded with a Divine Ice Affinity Booster.”

“Note: There is no time limit on this task.”

Qin Feng smiled. Unlocking the ice affinity was within reach now.

“I have three elemental talents, while other Elementalists only have one. By cultivating three elements simultaneously, I’ll definitely surpass all Nine-Star Elementalists in the future!” Qin Feng’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

To his knowledge, every Elementalist in this world possessed only one elemental affinity. This was because people with multiple elemental constitutions generally had weaker affinities in each element, preventing them from reaching the critical affinity level of 1 required to develop elemental talents. Those with affinities below 1 could never awaken any talents.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Qin Feng became…
