Chapter 19 – Explosive Strength Surge, Uncrowned King!

Qin Feng surveyed the valley and found over forty spiritual herbs. He approached the first one, used his True Sight to scan it, and discovered it was Elderberry Grass, a tier-1 spiritual herb that strengthened bones and enhanced physique.

“Turns out it’s a spiritual herb for enhancing physique!” Qin Feng murmured. He touched the Elderberry Grass, and after a moment, a white light appeared in his palm. The herb rapidly withered, leaving behind a small lump of milky-white spiritual fluid emitting a faint grassy fragrance.

“Endless Extraction is truly handy!”

Qin Feng smiled and consumed the essence. Instantly, his bones were strengthened, and he gained 3 points in physique.

Delighted, he moved to the second herb, “Nine Fragrance Insect Grass,” a poisonous tier-1 spiritual herb used for alchemy and inducing hallucinations. Qin Feng wisely avoided consuming it and stored it in his storage ring.

In this manner, he harvested herb after herb. Poisonous or inedible ones were stored away, while edible ones were instantly refined for their essence and consumed.

[Eating Heart-Nourishing Grass essence successful, your mental power is strengthened. You have gained 3 points in energy attribute.]

[Eating Meridian-Opening Grass essence successful, your meridians are strengthened. You have gained 3 points in agility attribute.]

[Eating Nectar Fragrance Grass essence successful, your muscles are strengthened. You have gained 4 points in strength attribute.]

…

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed. Qin Feng harvested all the herbs. Poisonous ones numbered twenty-three and were stored, while the others were refined into essence and immediately consumed. This overall enhancement transformed his physique, exuding masculine charm.

His four-dimensional indexes significantly improved, and his strength surged once more. With his full haul, he felt incredibly accomplished.

His mind displayed his information:

[Name]: Qin Feng

[Level]: 3 (540/600)

[Vocation]: Level 1 Adjudicator (10/100) 

[Prestige]: 1 

[Strength]: 81 (Strength Enhancement, D-Rank)

[Innate Talent]: Endless Extraction (SSS-Rank)

[Combat Power Evaluation]: 8 stars

Surprisingly, his combat power evaluation reached 8 stars, and his strength had improved dramatically! There were over twenty tier-1 spiritual herbs and three mutated ferocious beast corpses, providing a tremendous amount of attribute points!

This time, he made a fortune! Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ ɴovᴇlꜰirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Qin Feng’s heart was exceedingly joyful. He checked his level progress once again: Level 3 (540/600). He must be ranked first, right?

Thinking this, he wanted to switch to the leader board channel, but he realized he couldn’t access it. He remembered that the Heavenly Dao had hinted about this.

Upon entering this alternate space, the leaderboard channel was inaccessible, but the personal information and chat channels were usable. With this in mind, he switched to the chat channel.

At this moment, the chat channel was buzzing with activity. He noticed that most people were discussing their leveling progress. A competitive spirit for leveling had already emerged among the crowd. Many who had reached Level 3 were proudly sharing their progress, attracting a group of admirers. Those at Level 2 were doing the same, garnering envy from countless onlookers.

Qin Feng roughly estimated that at least four people were boasting about reaching Level 3. Of course, the actual number was probably higher. Not everyone enjoyed flaunting their leveling progress. However, Qin Feng could tell that everyone was pushing themselves to the limit for the rewards from the new player leveling.

Unlike them, he had taken the time after killing the ferocious beasts to harvest the spiritual herbs. Even so, he believed he had already secured the top spot on the leaderboard.

With this thought in mind, Qin Feng considered leaving the chat channel. But at that moment, Liu Yuan’s profile picture lit up.

Liu Yuan: “Haha! Everyone, I have good news to share! I’ve reached Level 3 and reclaimed my ninth-place throne!”

As this information spread, the chat channel erupted: “Wow! Level 3! A level 3 expert! We salute you!”

“My goodness! Liu Yuan is also Level 3 now and has overtaken Qin Feng! Now our newbie village has ten level 3 experts.”

Liu Yuan: “Hehe! Ten level 3 experts? Let’s not jump to conclusions! Haven’t you noticed that after Qin Feng reached Level 3, his name turned gray, and his ranking has been dropping steadily?”

“True! I’ve noticed that! On the leaderboard, all the experts’ names are in white except for Qin Feng’s, which is gray. What’s going on?”

“That’s so strange! Is Qin Feng in trouble?”

“Can’t be, right? If Qin Feng had fallen, his name would disappear.”

“Right! But why did his name turn gray? And why does his rank keep dropping?”

“Yeah! Worried for Qin Feng, for sure!”

“I suspect he’s heavily injured, which is why this happened.”

“I hope he’s okay!”

…

In this moment, the chat zone was filled with various speculations about Qin Feng’s situation. Seeing this, Qin Feng smiled faintly. It turned out that after entering this alternate space, his name on the leaderboard turned gray. His level data remained frozen at the moment he entered this space.

However, once he left this space, his ranking would refresh, and he would surge up the leaderboard, leaving Liu Yuan far behind.

Just then, in the chat channel, Wu Yong’s profile picture also lit up.

Wu Yong: “Everyone, as long as Qin Feng’s name hasn’t disappeared, it means he’s still alive. You don’t need to worry too much!”

“Wow! Wu Yong, the Level 3 expert, is here!”

“Wu Yong, can you take me with you?”

“Wu Yong, big brother, please guide me!”

Wu Yong: “Haha! I’m still being led by others; how could I lead all of you!”

“Are you kidding?! You’re the third-ranked Level 3 expert. How could you be led by someone?”

Wu Yong: “I really am being led. Right now, I’m following Liu Xuan and Long Shan!”

“Liu Xuan is first-ranked! Long Shan is second-ranked! Wow, so you three experts are together! What a formidable team-up!”

“Sob~ Sob! I’m so envious I’m crying!”

“The top three in the new player leveling are undoubtedly you three!”

Wu Yong: “Everyone, you’re too kind! Too kind!”

“Oh, by the way, Wu Yong, what’s Liu Xuan’s current progress? Could you share?”

“Right! We really want to know!”

Wu Yong: “Haha!! If you want to know, there’s no harm in telling you. He has already reached Level 3 (370/600)….”

As soon as these words were spoken, the chat channel exploded:

“Wow! Already at Level 3 (370/600)?!”

“So fast!”

“My goodness! Admiration, admiration!”

“Wu Yong, ask Liu Xuan if he needs a girlfriend. I’m willing to be his girlfriend!”

“Upstairs! Liu Xuan is mine, don’t steal him from me!”

“Hmph! Then let’s settle this with swords!”

“You women wait a moment! Let me say something first. Liu Xuan, if you happen to like guys, I’m available …”

“Oh my god~! Going crazy! Everyone’s gone mad!”

Seeing this, Qin Feng smiled and shook his head. At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was the fastest leveler in the region. With his level progress at Level 3 (540/600), he could easily jump to Level 4 by killing a Level 2 ferocious beast, much faster than Liu Xuan …
