Chapter 48

For the remaining two days, Qin Peng spent his time at Su Shiming's house. Although Qin Peng did not gain the body-strengthening effects from Su Shiming, he still benefited greatly over these two days. With the guidance of Su Xinghe, the first-rate expert of Terra Star, Qin Peng's strength rapidly improved. Su Xinghe was also deeply impressed by Qin Peng's talent.

Qin Peng could fully comprehend many things on his own. For the parts he didn't understand, a slight hint from Su Xinghe was enough for him to grasp the essence immediately. Some of his insights even enlightened Su Xinghe.

Su Xinghe no longer knew what words to use to describe Qin Peng.

"This guy's achievements might surpass mine in the future!" Su Xinghe couldn't help but nod in approval as he looked at Qin Peng.

Time passed quickly. On the last day, Qin Peng did not continue his practice but instead focused on adjusting his state. He had learned too much in these two days, and now he felt a sense of complexity. Qin Peng spent this day integrating everything he had learned.

The Four Dragon Combat Techniques, the Wave Palm, and the Sun Blade Technique!

Qin Peng repeatedly visualized these techniques in his mind. In the secret room, he entered a state of complete focus. Suddenly, he stood up and naturally performed a series of movements. Some were from the Four Dragon Combat Techniques, some from the Wave Palm, and others from the Sun Blade Technique. Gradually, Qin Peng began to break down each movement. The Sun Blade Technique carried a hint of the rolling waves, and the Dragon Rising from the Sea technique brought forth a sudden burst of sunlight from the waves.

Qin Peng's combat strength continued to improve, bit by bit.

The state of sudden enlightenment!

Su Xinghe, who had been secretly observing Qin Peng, was deeply shocked. He knew very well what this state of sudden enlightenment represented. The human body was a vast treasure trove, and no one knew what it contained. Sudden enlightenment was a rapid way to access this treasure.

"This guy is too terrifying!" Su Xinghe couldn't help but be shocked. He asked himself, having seen countless geniuses, but none of them could break down and integrate newly learned techniques as quickly as Qin Peng.

Although it was a very basic integration, Su Xinghe still couldn't help but sigh.

This world truly made one feel inferior. His own talent wasn't bad, but compared to Qin Peng, he felt utterly ashamed.

Creak!

Qin Peng suddenly stopped his movements, beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead. "It's impossible to integrate them completely for now. My Sun Blade Technique isn't fully mastered, and the Wave Palm is a technique that can support one to the True Dao realm. Trying to integrate them now is just wishful thinking!"

"Just the integration of techniques is already quite impressive!" Su Xinghe suddenly spoke beside Qin Peng.

Qin Peng was taken aback and quickly looked to the side, then politely said, "Uncle Su!"

Su Xinghe smiled slightly. "Not bad, Qin Peng, you keep surprising me!"

"Where, Uncle Su, you're too kind!" Qin Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a bitter smile, "I'm trying to run before I can walk!"

Su Xinghe chuckled and said slowly, "Alright, go rest! You have a duel with Wang Yang tomorrow!"

Qin Peng nodded and turned to return to the room Su Xinghe had arranged for him.

Su Xinghe watched Qin Peng and sighed softly.

The next day, the sky was bright and clear!

The Elite Academy was bustling with activity. The news of Qin Peng and Wang Yang's conflict and their upcoming life-or-death duel for the position of Student Council President had spread throughout the entire academy.

Wang Yang, everyone knew, was a prodigy, with an excellent family background and top-notch strength. Qin Peng, on the other hand, was a negligible little ant. However, in recent days, this little ant had shone brightly, somehow managing to win the favor of the campus goddess, Su Shiming, and rapidly improving his strength.

Many people looked down on Qin Peng, thinking he had just gotten lucky.

The duel hadn't started yet, and Wang Yang sat in his office, his mood far from calm. Especially after learning that the Du family had been wiped out by Qin Peng, he felt a growing sense of fear.

The name "Qin Peng" kept echoing in his mind like a curse. In just a few days, the worthless young man he had once looked down upon had become a significant threat.

Wang Yang had always been confident. As the best student in the sixth grade, he had many reasons to be confident. But now...

Three days ago, in their battle, although he had the upper hand, Wang Yang had a feeling that he couldn't defeat Qin Peng.

Creak!

At this moment, the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in, politely saying, "Young Master, we have the information!"

"Speak!" Wang Yang said coldly.

"According to our analysis, Qin Peng likely entered the depths of the Gory Mountains and rescued Su Shiming from the hands of the Terrans!" the middle-aged man said calmly.

Wang Yang narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "He rescued Su Shiming?"

"Yes!" the middle-aged man said slowly. "He rescued Su Shiming, which is why she is taking such good care of him."

"A savior, huh?" Wang Yang gritted his teeth and said slowly, "How did he rescue her?"

"We're not entirely sure. When Qin Peng rescued her, most of the students were already dead, and we didn't get any valuable information," the middle-aged man said slowly. "But we can confirm that Qin Peng did rescue Su Shiming."

Wang Yang took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I understand. You can go now!"

The middle-aged man stood there, not leaving. Wang Yang frowned and said, "Why aren't you leaving?"

"Young Master, the Master has a message for you," the middle-aged man said calmly.

"Hmm?" Wang Yang looked at the middle-aged man and said slowly, "What is it?"

The middle-aged man said slowly, "The Master said that although Su Xinghe is powerful, he won't dare to do anything to our Wang family! Our Wang family isn't to be trifled with. Since Qin Peng has already become an enemy, Young Master shouldn't hesitate and should just kill him!"

Wang Yang nodded and said, "I understand."

The middle-aged man continued, "Also, the Master will be watching your battle from outside. And this is something the Master asked me to give you."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man handed Wang Yang a small box.

Wang Yang was slightly taken aback and looked at the small box in his hand, asking, "What is this?"

"This is the Hidden Dragon Pill the Master obtained for you," the middle-aged man said calmly. "Qin Peng is very unusual. Young Master can take this pill before the match to ensure victory over Qin Peng."

Wang Yang was inwardly shocked.

He knew the importance of the Hidden Dragon Pill all too well.

This pill could unleash one's full potential and was a B-grade potion, currently priced at three billion star coins on the market.

Don't underestimate the Hidden Dragon Pill. The potential of different people varies, and as one's strength increases, so does their potential. The stronger one is, the greater the potential that can be unleashed. Moreover, it has no side effects.

This made the Hidden Dragon Pill extremely valuable.

However, nothing is absolute. If Qin Peng were to take this pill, it would certainly unleash all the essence given to him by the Heavenly Extreme Martial God, leading to his body exploding, as his physical form couldn't withstand the power of the Heavenly Extreme Martial God.

Wang Yang took a deep breath, gripped the box, and said politely, "Please tell Father that I will win beautifully."

The middle-aged man just smiled and didn't say anything more, turning to leave Wang Yang's room.

Wang Yang took a deep breath, opened the box, and immediately a fragrant aroma filled the air. Without hesitation, he swallowed the Hidden Dragon Pill. Almost instantly, he felt a terrifying force coursing through his limbs, converging on his dantian.

Wang Yang's combat strength was 7.5. After taking the pill, he immediately felt a terrifying force gathering in his dantian, and his entire body's strength condensed into a single point.

Once combat strength breaks 8, one enters the Inner Strength realm.

The Hidden Dragon Pill automatically controlled Wang Yang's strength, instantly filling his dantian with a fine inner strength.

He had broken through to the Inner Strength realm!

But it didn't end there. His combat strength continued to rise, bit by bit. After an unknown amount of time, his combat strength finally stopped increasing, and his inner strength continued to grow. The limit of the Inner Strength realm is 15, and Wang Yang's combat strength reached 10, with the rate of increase gradually slowing down.

Combat strength 12.5!

His combat strength had increased by 5 points!

It took no more than three minutes.

Gripping his fist lightly, a sinister smile appeared on Wang Yang's face. "Qin Peng, I swear I will tear you to pieces!"
