Universal Ascension: Starting with SSS-Level Talent

Chapter 48: Master, Let Me Absorb Some Qi

Ordinary people who exhaust their internal Qi typically need over 20 hours to fully recover.

However, Li Chengfeng had dual inner cores, so his recovery time would likely be twice that of others, around 40-odd hours.

But he had the “Northern Darkness Divine Skill,” which allowed him to absorb others’ internal Qi to supplement his own.

Originally, this martial skill had some side effects.

But he happened to be the type of person without a primary internal skill attribute, so he could absorb freely without any side effects.

Li Chengfeng had exhausted all his internal Qi after a day of arena battles.

After dinner, he went for a walk by the small lake near his home.

The Xiaoyao Sect had over 30,000 inner and outer disciples in total.

There were quite a few people out and about in the evening.

Li Chengfeng wanted to find someone to absorb some spiritual Qi from, to replenish himself.

He scanned the area and spotted a young man, checked his information, and learned his name.

“Wang Dongdong, come here for a moment.”

The ordinary-looking young man heard his name called and walked over to Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng flashed his sect token.

It displayed “Li Chengfeng — 86 points.”

Wang Dongdong’s face showed a hint of surprise upon seeing it.

Although Li Chengfeng appeared to be around the same age as him, his status points were three times higher.

He quickly cupped his fists and bowed, saying:

“Senior Brother Li, what can I do for you?”

In the Xiaoyao Sect, regardless of age, everyone is considered peers.

There are only senior brothers, junior brothers, senior sisters, and junior sisters.

Respect and hierarchy are determined solely by status points.

Even if someone has just one more point, they must be respectfully addressed as senior brother or sister and their instructions followed.

Li Chengfeng pointed to a bench by the lake:

“Come over and sit. I need to use the Northern Darkness Divine Skill to absorb some of your true Qi. Is that alright?”

The Qi stored in the inner core isn’t of much use if not needed for combat.

Besides, after being absorbed, it would be restored in a day anyway.

Xiaoyao Sect disciples need a valid reason to refuse a senior brother or sister.

Without a valid reason, refusing an elder’s instructions would result in punishment.

Wang Dongdong readily agreed:

“Alright, Senior Brother Li, but please leave me a little Qi, just in case of any emergencies.”

“No problem!”

Li Chengfeng said, placing his hand on Wang Dongdong’s dantian.

With his current level one proficiency in the “Northern Darkness Divine Skill,” he could only absorb Qi through direct contact.

He then activated the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.

The skin on his arm rippled and bulged.

The Qi inside Wang Dongdong’s body rapidly decreased.

After about seven or eight minutes, “Senior Brother Li, that’s about enough, I only have 25% of my Qi left.”

Li Chengfeng then stopped and expressed his gratitude.

He checked his personal attributes.

Qi amount: 91,156/262,000 Lei.

He had absorbed only about one-third of the Qi.

He still needed to find a junior brother or sister to absorb from again.

Placing his hand on someone’s belly was not suitable for a junior sister.

Li Chengfeng randomly found two more people, flashed his token, and they all called him Senior Brother.

There was no way around it; his 86-point status in the Xiaoyao Sect already exceeded that of over half the people.

As long as Li Chengfeng chose someone young, it was likely they would be his junior brother.

After absorbing from three people, the total amount of 260,000 Lei was filled to 250,000 Lei.

After a good night’s sleep, he would be fully recovered by morning.

The next morning, Li Chengfeng felt refreshed and energized, with his vitality fully restored.

His body felt no trace of fatigue.

After all, he had an SSS-level physical talent.

Despite being utterly exhausted yesterday, a night’s sleep had erased all weariness.

Shu Fuyao’s martial skills were also lacking.

Li Chengfeng called her, and together they went to the St. Station to teleport to the arena, aiming to improve their strength through real combat with others.

In the morning, Li Chengfeng continued to match in the solo arena.

He was full of energy and vigor, and his martial skills had significantly improved from the previous day.

Even when facing opponents with 20 consecutive wins, he managed to win without any real danger.

【Duel Victory!】

【Solo Arena Ladder Points +69.】

Originally, the points gained should decrease as the rank increases, but due to his winning streak, the points for victories actually increased.

It was evident that the arena’s point system was quite flexible.

【You have received the 21-win reward, Money +21,000 yuan.】

【Duel Victory!】

22 consecutive wins.

【Duel Victory!】

23 consecutive wins.

【Duel Victory!】

24 consecutive wins.

【Duel Victory!】

【You have received the 25-win reward, Money +25,000 yuan.】

After five matches, he had earned over a hundred thousand yuan.

Since his opponents were no ordinary individuals, Li Chengfeng only managed to complete five solo duels in the entire morning.

As he progressed, the opponents became increasingly stronger.

In the afternoon, feeling less energetic and vigorous, Li Chengfeng decided not to continue with solo duels.

He didn’t want to risk encountering a formidable opponent and breaking his winning streak due to his own condition.

He teamed up with Shu Fuyao to challenge the duo arena.

The opponents they matched were all two-person teams.

In the 2V2 format, their ladder points started from zero.

Initially, the opponents they faced were relatively weak.

In the span of an afternoon, the two of them achieved 12 consecutive wins.

Shu Fuyao was also making rapid progress.

In the following days, Li Chengfeng maintained this routine.

Solo matches in the morning, duo matches in the afternoon.

He improved swiftly each day, encountering opponents with higher solo winning streaks, and defeating them with his continuously advancing martial skills and combat experience.
