Global Killing: Starting with an SSS-level Talent - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 – Delighted! Surpassing Levels for Victory!

After his moment of joy, Qin Feng assessed the situation in the field. The humans clearly had the upper hand.

“So it’s him!”

Soon, Qin Feng’s gaze was drawn to a young man in the crowd. He was in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and had a somewhat heroic appearance.

Qin Feng knew him as Lei Jue, awakened with a D-Level talent: Lightning Manipulation. In the beginner’s village, there were only seventeen awakened individuals with D-Level talents. One of them was Wang Qiang, but unfortunately, Wang Qiang had already perished, leaving only sixteen.

Lei Jue was one of those sixteen and could be considered a prominent figure in the beginner’s village, admired by many newcomers. Moreover, Lei Jue’s Lightning Manipulation, being one of the stronger abilities among D-Level talents, garnered even more attention.

This time, he formed an eight-person team and ventured out of the beginner’s village. However, now there were only seven left.

Curious, Qin Feng looked towards the direction of their battle. He saw Lei Jue unleashing a blue electric surge from his palm directly onto a giant snake. The snake was immediately startled, experiencing a temporary paralysis and its aura weakened. With this strike, Lei Jue had inflicted significant damage on it.

At the same time, the other six people rushed forward and began hacking at the snake with their novice short sword.

Bang! Bang! Bang! 

There was a series of dull thuds as sparks flew and scattered white dots appeared on the scales.  The snake’s defence was incredibly strong, and none of them managed to break through.

However, their combined attacks caused the snake considerable pain. As the numbness throughout its body subsided, the snake turned its head in anger, preparing to attack the six individuals. But at that moment, Lei Jue released another lightning bolt.

Crack! 

The snake was hit, becoming paralyzed once again and temporarily frozen in place. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the others quickly scattered.

After a moment, the numbness subsided. The giant snake became enraged and turned its head again, lunging towards Lei Jue. Among these humans, only the young man in front could inflict fatal damage on it. It had to tear apart the human in front of it …

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! 

It raised its head high, spitting out snake venom as it charged towards Lei Jue.

Lei Jue quickly turned and fled. It turned out that he couldn’t continuously release lightning; there was a gap of more than ten seconds between each attack. Seeing this, the other six individuals quickly rushed forward, hacking indiscriminately at the snake’s back.

Sparks flew as scales scattered. The snake, in pain, turned its head again, ready to attack those who ambushed it from behind. But at that moment, Lei Jue released another bolt of lightning, hitting the snake and causing immediate paralysis … In this way, the seven individuals led by Lei Jue launched the main attack while the other six distracted it from the sides.

They killed the snake without giving it a chance to recover, as its aura steadily weakened.  Observing this, Qin Feng’s curiosity was piqued, and he used his True Sight to scan the snake …

[Ferocious beast]: Venomous Nine-Ring Snake 

[Level]: Level 1

 [Battle Power Evaluation]: 3 Star

[Traits]: Ferocious, bloodthirsty, venomous 

[Drop Rate]: 0.1% 

“Oh! This has a drop rate!”

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up after reading the data. The presence of a drop rate indicated that hunting the ferocious beast could yield some items. This was valuable information! However, with a drop rate of only 0.1%, or one in a thousand, the probability was quite low.

Just then, a sudden change occurred in the field. A bolt of lightning struck down, causing the Venomous Nine-Ring Snake to let out a miserable cry before it collapsed weakly to the ground, unable to move.

The people quickly rushed forward and started hacking at it with their blades. The snake convulsed a few times, and then its entire body was enveloped in a dazzling white light … In the next second, that white light transformed into seven radiant orbs that entered the bodies of the people.

The white light that entered Lei Jue’s body was the largest.  After a moment, sounds of joy echoed in the field.

“Haha! I obtained 5 energy points!”

“I only got 3 energy points!”

“What the hell! Why did I only get 1 energy point? What’s going on? Is my contribution so low? Did they make a mistake in the distribution?!”

“Xiao Li, stop complaining! The allocation of these energy points is determined by the heavens based on our respective contributions. It’s absolutely fair!”

“Sigh! It seems like I’m just too weak!”

…

In the distance, Qin Feng observed this and had a moment of realization. So this was how energy points were distributed in a team. Everyone worked together and the distribution was based on individual contributions. It was the mercy of the heavens towards humanity and an encouragement for people to cooperate.

However, as a result, when dividing 40 energy points for a single giant snake among seven people, each person didn’t receive much. Some people only received 1 energy point, which was quite pitiful. Even the strongest Lei Jue probably wouldn’t get more than 20 energy points.

In comparison, Qin Feng alone could slay a snake and enjoy 40 energy points for himself. It was through this comparison that he realized how fortunate he was. Just then, a dazzling white light suddenly emanated from Lei Jue’s body, startling everyone present.

Qin Feng was also taken aback. He wondered what was happening to Lei Jue. Why did his whole body suddenly emit light?

In just a moment, the white light dimmed, and Lei Jue opened his eyes with a joyful expression.

“Lei Big Brother, why did your whole body glow just now?”

“Yeah! You scared us! Lei Big Brother, are you okay?”

Everyone showed concern.

Lei Jue smiled faintly, “I’m fine! I just Leveled up!”

Upon hearing this, the whole crowd exclaimed.

“Wow! Lei Big Brother has reached Level 2!”

“Tsk tsk! Lei Big Brother, you’re too amazing!”

“That’s right! I’m still at Level 1 (17/100), far from reaching Level 2!”

At that moment, the crowd looked at Lei Jue with both awe and envy.

In the thicket, Qin Feng was also somewhat surprised. After several hours had passed, he finally encountered a Level 2 human.

I wonder what kind of improvement there is from Level 1 to Level 2?

Judging by Lei Jue’s confident appearance, it should be a significant improvement. Right, he could have a closer look! With this thought in mind, he activated the True Vision Eye on Lei Jue …

[Species]: Human

[Level]: 2

[Strength]: 20

[Agility]: 22

[Constitution]: 19

[Energy]: 21

[Talent]: ???

[Skill]: ???

[Combat Power Evaluation]: 2 Star

“Uh … is this the data for Level 2?” Qin Feng was slightly surprised. The four attribute indices of this Level 2 were actually lower than his own Level 1. It seemed that even without Levelling up, he was stronger than Level 2 humans.

With Lei Jue’s combat power, coupled with his talent, his overall strength barely reached the threshold of 3 star. Such strength would only result in a mixed outcome when facing a Level 1 ferocious beast, at best a fifty-fifty chance.

On the other hand, Qin Feng’s combat power evaluation was at the peak 2 star, and with the numerous talent enhancements, his overall strength was comparable to 4 star, or even peak 4 star.

In other words, he could easily defeat three or four Lei Jues. Moreover, he was only at Level 1, one Level lower than Lei Jue. With this in mind, Qin Feng felt a sense of excitement in his heart …
