Endless Ascension

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Divine Skill - Frenzy

"You sure have a talent for picking the right moment."

Qin Ze sneered coldly, his gaze piercing through the group surrounding Qin Kun, his understanding of the situation already crystal clear.

Qin Kun jumped down from the branches, landing gracefully before Qin Ze. A mixture of excitement and disdain played on his face as he surveyed the colossal craters around them, secretly marveling at the fact that Qin Ze had managed to engage a fifth-stage beastial demon.

"I wonder what kind of incredible fortune this useless piece of trash has stumbled upon, boosting his strength so drastically in such a short time," Qin Kun muttered to himself, eyeing Qin Ze's battered form. "Qin the Waste, your luck has run out this time."

Standing atop the carcass of the Violent Kong Ape, Qin Ze replied with a hint of amusement, "I somehow feel quite the opposite. Extremely fortunate, in fact."

"Oh? How so?"

"A pack of idiots literally delivered themselves to my doorstep, sparing me the trouble of searching." Qin Ze said calmly.

"You..."

"Ha-ha..." Qin Kun erupted into a fit of angry laughter, having witnessed Qin Ze's final blow that had left him drained of qi and riddled with wounds.

In this state, how could Qin Ze possibly pose a threat to him?

"Looks like you've exhausted all your qi, huh? Ha-ha..." Qin Kun couldn't help but burst into loud, mocking laughter.

The bearded man standing nearby frowned at Qin Kun's antics, but before he could react, five figures leaped down from the trees, immediately encircling him. Like Qin Ze, the bearded man had also depleted his qi in forming solid qi weapons, leaving him unable to recover quickly. While he didn't take the mere martial artists seriously, assisting Qin Ze immediately proved difficult.

Qin Ze glanced at Qin Kun before shifting his gaze towards Qin Yang's previous position, his heart jolting as he realized Qin Yang had vanished.

Anxious thoughts of Yun Man immediately surfaced.

It seemed Qin Kun had devised a thorough tactical plan. If that was the case, they needed to act fast...

"Last time, someone saved you. This time around, heh..." Qin Ze paused briefly, "You must perish here."

"Ha-ha, you? Think you're worthy?" Qin Kun sneered back.

"Roar of the Tiger through the Mountains!"

Qin Kun's eyes narrowed fiercely, his palms transforming into claws as a powerful aura erupted from his body, accompanied by a sudden, ferocious growl...

"Presumptuous."

Qin Ze sneered coldly, taking a single step that carried him over three丈away. His hands balled into fists, striking out with ferocity.

Their fists met, and Qin Kun felt a surge of immense qigong rushing towards him, shocking him deeply. His qigong had clearly been depleted moments ago; how could there still be such a vast amount left?

Could it be that his cultivation had already reached the realm of Ling Dong?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Qin Kun swung his leg fiercely, dropping to the ground, using his hands to push himself up as he delivered a punch directly towards Qin Ze's jaw. He refused to believe that Qin Ze could evade it...

But Qin Ze moved with ease, not only dodging the blow but also unleashing a fierce strike with his fists, slamming into Qin Kun's back with a resounding "crack" as his spine broke.

"Ah..."

Qin Kun let out a piercing scream, his eyes bloodshot as he writhed on the ground, desperately trying to escape Qin Ze's attack range.

Qin Ze would never let slip such an opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.

Qin Kun gritted his teeth through the pain, rolling on the ground several times, thinking he had escaped Qin Ze's reach. But as soon as he tried to stand up, Qin Ze's fist landed without warning on his right cheek, igniting a fiery pain and causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, flying through the air once more.

Qin Ze's body shifted again, his speed doubling as he charged towards Qin Kun's landing spot. Before Qin Kun could even hit the ground, Qin Ze's fists were already pounding heavily into his abdomen.

"Ah!"

A pig-like squeal echoed through the air.

"Bang."

Qin Kun crashed heavily to the ground, leaving the five outer disciples surrounding the burly man feeling apprehensive. They gazed at Qin Ze, chills running down their spines. Qin Kun, a Martial Practitioner at the seventh level, had no semblance of resistance against him. Could they possibly stand a chance?

"You... your... qigong..." Qin Kun lay on the ground, panting heavily, his eyes bulging as he stared at Qin Ze from afar, disbelief mixed with seething anger.

Rage surged within Qin Ze as he replied with a frigid smile, "My qi must have surprised you, huh."

Slaying the fifth-stage beastial demon had instantly elevated Qin Ze's cultivation to the seventh level of the martial artist realm, filling his health and qi gauges to their utmost capacity.

The perks of leveling up included having these gauges automatically replenished in any situation.

Qin Kun's timing couldn't have been worse.

But the benefits of defeating a beastial demon with divine abilities didn't end there...

"Indeed, it's astonishing, but..."

Qin Kun lay on the ground, chuckling coldly, as he reached into his robes and popped a pill into his mouth. Suddenly, his body erupted into fiery stripes reminiscent of a wolf's pelt, his once pale and haggard complexion transforming into a vibrant vitality. His wounds healed at a pace visible to the naked eye.

The Pill of Blazing Sun, a sixth-grade elixir, was fierce in its potency. Upon consumption, it temporarily sealed wounds, only to reopen them in triple the agony once its effects wore off.

Moreover, it instantaneously doubled the strength of its user, elevating Qin Kun, a seventh-level martial artist, to the prowess equivalent to a fourth-level adept in the realm of agility. His qi, speed, strength, and mastery of techniques all surged.

Qin Kun slammed his hand on the ground, propelling himself upwards with ease.

His eyes turned a deeper shade of blood red, a sinister grin playing on his lips. Clenching his fists, he unleashed a formidable aura, causing a thick layer of dust to disperse around him.

"Impressive qi indeed." Qin Ze's expression shifted, witnessing Qin Kun's health bar replenish and double in size. He couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Fuck, is that an instant revival?"

"Powerful? Hahaha, it's more than just powerful."

"Now, let's see how you fare against the same attack again. 'Roar of the Tiger Through the Mountains'..."

Qin Kun vanished from his spot, reappearing in front of Qin Ze in the blink of an eye. Qin Ze barely had time to react before Qin Kun's fist connected with his abdomen, sending him flying.

"-1200"

"Fuck, one punch took over a thousand points of my health!"

Midair, Qin Ze utilized his qigong to continuously tumble and alter his landing spot, but to his surprise, Qin Kun sprang from his original intended position. A flash of dust on the ground heralded the arrival of a shadowy figure, hurtling straight towards Qin Ze's new target location.

"He's really pushing my buttons, isn't he?"

Qin Ze growled mentally, summoning, "Frenzy!"

"Woomp..." The bearded giant felt a sudden, eerily familiar jolt of recognition. He almost thought the Violent Kongape had risen from the dead. Staring up at the colossal form, frozen in place, he then witnessed a white aura emanating from Qin Ze's body, sending shockwaves through his mind. How could Qin Ze possess the divine ability of the Violent Kongape?

The divine ability of Frenzy, unleashed by Qin Ze.

Immediately after slaying the Violent Kongape, a notification flashed in his mind: "Obtained Divine Technique Manual, Frenzy." Overcome with joy, Qin Ze instantly clicked to learn it, adding a new skill to his repertoire.

Frenzy:

Level: 0 (Level 1 unleashes 4x, Level 2 unleashes 8x...)

Proficiency: 0/1000

Skill Effect: Increases attack power, speed, qigong, and health by 2x...

Killing a boss and receiving a skill book had Qin Ze over the moon. After slaying countless beasts with nothing to show for it, he'd begun to think loot drops were non-existent. Now, to have uncovered the divine technique of Frenzy, distilled from the laws of strength by the Violent Kongape, how could he not be ecstatic?

With all his attributes instantly doubled, Qin Kun's speed seemed sluggish in Qin Ze's eyes. Before Qin Kun could reach his intended spot, Qin Ze smirked, suddenly halting in midair. Looking down at Qin Kun with a commanding gaze, he declared, "Die!"

With a burst of immense pressure emanating from him, Qin Kun's rage-filled eyes blazed as he roared, leaping straight up...

"Die!"

Qin Ze repeated, his attack striking with lightning speed.
