Chapter 70

"Qin Peng, isn't this too rash?" Su Shiyue frowned at Qin Peng, "Wang Zhan's strength cannot be underestimated. With your current combat power, you might not be his match!"

Qin Peng smiled slightly at Su Shiyue and then slowly said, "Then, why don't you see how my combat power is?"

Su Shiyue was taken aback, lightly tapping her temple, and suddenly, the data in her eyes began to fluctuate wildly.

"Combat power, 28 points, how, how is this possible?" Su Shiyue looked at Qin Peng in disbelief, "How did you do it?"

Qin Peng smiled slightly and slowly said, "I naturally have had some extraordinary experiences. In this battle, I just unleashed all my accumulated strength, which is why my combat power has increased to 28 points. As for what kind of experiences, you don't need to ask!"

Su Shiyue fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "You and that woman from Wang's team, are you on good terms?"

There was a strong hint of jealousy in her words.

This kind of tone, not to mention Qin Peng, even Zhang Huan Yu and the others could sense it. Qin Peng just smiled lightly and slowly said, "We're not that close. She is the 'Wang' of Wang's team, how could she look at someone like me?"

Hearing this, Su Shiyue felt relieved. However, she didn't consider that the gap between her own status and Qin Peng's was also quite large, yet she still had feelings for him.

"Alright, let's hand over the mission. I need to rest for a few days and regain my strength!" Qin Peng said as he walked directly into the command office.

Less than half an hour later, the six of them came out together.

Qin Peng had a new medal on his chest, a military merit medal. Such a medal represented significant benefits. Yes, with such a medal, you could live a relatively luxurious life without doing anything for the rest of your life.

The more military merit one accumulates, the greater the benefits. High-level martial arts manuals, various rune secrets, even rune weapons can be exchanged, and one can gain power in the human government. If one accumulates even more, one can even become the ruler of a planet and make laws according to one's will, of course, without violating the human constitution.

There are quite a few such people, like the current Su Xinghe, who has enough strength and high military merit, making him the highest official of Terra.

Qin Peng lightly flicked the military merit medal in his hand. This thing might be very useful in the future, but for now, it didn't seem to have much use for him. With no worries about food and clothing, the Qin family had already entered the upper class of Terra.

"Alright, I'm going to rest!" Qin Peng stretched comfortably and declined the invitation to have a drink.

The others understood, after all, Qin Peng was about to face off against Wang Zhan, and he indeed needed to rest and regain his strength.

Back in the room assigned to him at the base, Qin Peng sat cross-legged on the bed, his chest rising and falling slightly. Then, his mind immersed itself in his body.

First, the dantian!

Strictly speaking, there were two forces in his dantian: one was the internal energy he cultivated, and the other was the essence left by Yun Duankong.

With a slight thought, Qin Peng slowly separated a thin thread of his internal energy and connected it to the essence.

Immediately, Qin Peng felt a stream of power surge from the essence into his internal energy, continuously strengthening it. Although the increase in internal energy was small, if this continued for years, Qin Peng believed his strength would significantly increase.

"Tsk tsk!"

At that moment, Qin Peng suddenly heard a voice echoing in his ear, or more accurately, in his mind.

"Who is it?" Qin Peng's mind coldly transmitted a thought.

"Boy, I didn't expect your body to have such a big secret. What a vigorous essence! If I take over your body, all this essence will be mine. I'll probably reach the peak in no time!" As the voice spoke, a phantom image suddenly appeared in Qin Peng's mind.

A huge skeleton!

It was Ochi from earlier!

"Ochi!" Qin Peng's voice was cold, "It's you!"

"Human boy, didn't expect me to appear in your body, did you!" Ochi grinned at Qin Peng, "I thought it would take a long time to regain my strength after taking over your body. But with such a large amount of essence in your body, I won't hesitate to accept it!"

"You're really overconfident!" Qin Peng's voice was cold, "Do you really think you can take over my body so easily? Ochi, I must say, your thinking is rather naively simple!"

"What?" Ochi's soul looked at Qin Peng in shock, "What do you mean by that?"

"Ha ha!"

Qin Peng sneered and slowly said, "I know your scythe's final attack wasn't to kill me. I believe you wanted to take over my body. Your kind, the undead, are skilled at manipulating souls, so taking over my body was your plan!"

Ochi sneered at Qin Peng, "What use is it to discover this now? What, do you think you can still resist me?"

Qin Peng just smiled and beckoned to Ochi, "Then, come and try to destroy my soul!"

Ochi was taken aback, then a roar erupted from his mouth as he charged at Qin Peng.

Boom!

The moment Ochi's soul touched Qin Peng's soul, a golden light suddenly radiated from Qin Peng's soul, dazzling and brilliant, with a 'divine' aura.

"Divine aura, how is this possible? How can you have a divine aura?" Ochi's mouth erupted in a mad roar as he collided with the golden light, his soul immediately suffering severe damage.

"Forgot to tell you, I have divine cells in my body!" Qin Peng looked at Ochi, his smile growing wider, "And I also forgot to tell you that the divine cells chose me, integrating into my soul and transforming it. With your undead techniques, you can't take over my body!"

Saying this, Qin Peng laughed, raised his hand, and slowly said, "Alright, now it's time, Ochi, obediently become my slave!"

Golden light immediately radiated from Qin Peng's palm!

"What are you going to do?" Ochi's face showed deep fear.

Qin Peng smiled and slowly said, "Don't worry, you'll know soon!"

As he spoke, a golden rune appeared in Qin Peng's palm and shot directly into Ochi's soul. Ochi's body convulsed, and he fell to the ground in Qin Peng's soul space, screaming in agony.

"Originally, with your physical body, I might not have been able to use such a rune to subdue you. But you came into my body, fool! Did you really think I was an easy target? I'm one of the most difficult people to deal with, second only to Lin Qingyu!"

Qin Peng muttered to himself, the laws flowing naturally in his hands. Watching the battle between Lin Qingyu and Ochi, Qin Peng had many insights, and he naturally gained some understanding of how to use runes. However, he could only use them in a divine state, or after breaking through to the True Dao and mastering true qi.

But in his soul state, Qin Peng didn't need to be in a divine state. He could control souls with ease, relying on the innate power of the divine cells.

Finally, with a piercing scream, Ochi's soul knelt before Qin Peng.

"Ochi, meet your master!"

Qin Peng looked at Ochi, a smile spreading across his face, "Finally, I've controlled you!"

Seeing the respectful Ochi, Qin Peng couldn't help but imagine the days when humans evolved into divine beings and enslaved all other races. What a grand scene that must have been!

Withdrawing his gaze, Qin Peng said calmly, "You're in my body now. In the future, if you do well, I'll find you a new body. For now, be obedient!"

"Yes, Master!"

Ochi was respectful, with no complaints. Fundamentally, he had already accepted Qin Peng as his supreme master.

Qin Peng then retreated to his soul space. However, he felt a bit dizzy, having consumed a lot of mental energy. Feeling a bit tired, he sighed and lightly supported his forehead.

"Did you deal with him?" At that moment, a gentle voice echoed in Qin Peng's ear.

Qin Peng's pupils contracted, and he instinctively looked toward the source of the voice, seeing Lin Qingyu smiling at him.
