[Equipment selection complete. Teleportation initiated!]
A flash of white light, and the scene before him instantly transformed.
He found himself in a massive colosseum, an arena filled with the stench of rust, the sting of smoke, and a brutal aesthetic.
Across from him, a towering figure slowly rose to its feet. It stood over three meters tall, its body a mass of corded muscle beneath filthy green skin.
In its hand, it clutched a massive, crude Beheading Axe that looked as if it had been pieced together from scrap metal.
A trademark, "Waaagh!"-style grin, filled with bloodlust and fanaticism, spread across its face.
’A Level 4 Green-skinned kid!’
"Bring it on!"
Battle intent surged in Qin Feng’s eyes.
But a second later, the battle intent on his face froze solid.
The Green-skinned kid across from him hadn’t given him any time to strike a pose or prepare.
The instant it saw him, the Green-skinned kid let out a deafening roar. Its massive body shot forward like a cannonball, crossing several hundred meters in a flash to appear right in front of him!
Fast!
Unbelievably fast!
With a shriek that tore through the air, the massive Beheading Axe swung down at his head, its ferocious speed utterly belying its clumsy form.
Qin Feng’s pupils constricted.
Without a second thought, he whipped his Long Spear horizontally in front of him. A burst of raw power erupted from his body as he tried to parry.
"Thousand Soldiers Guarding!"
But—
CLANG—!!!
A clash of metal loud enough to shatter eardrums reverberated throughout the colosseum.
An irresistible, terrifyingly immense force—pure and absolute—surged through the spear’s shaft and slammed into his arms.
CRACK!
Qin Feng felt as if his arms had been hit head-on by an interstellar train at full speed. The excruciating pain of shattering bone shot through his entire body.
The Level 4 Alloy Long Spear in his hands was bent into an exaggerated U-shape by the savage force.
He was sent flying like a baseball, smashing violently against the colosseum wall with a sickening thud.
Before he could recover from the pain and dizziness, the Green-skinned kid was on him again. Its massive foot, carrying titanic force, came stomping down on his chest.
BOOM!
The world before Qin Feng’s eyes was instantly swallowed by darkness.
[Challenge Failed]
A cold, mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
When his consciousness returned to his luxurious dorm room, he could still feel the phantom pain in his arms and chest—a terrifying, crushing agony, as if he were being ground to dust.
It was only virtual pain, but its reality left him shaken.
One round!
He hadn’t even lasted a single round!
He had been completely crushed by what seemed to be a run-of-the-mill, bottom-tier Green-skinned kid!
Qin Feng sat on the sofa, silent for a long time. For the first time, an incredibly grave expression appeared on his face.
"That thing’s vitality index... is definitely over 50! Maybe even higher!"
"Pure power, pure speed. No flashy techniques, just the most primitive, brutal, overwhelming force."
’The first battle on the first floor of Canaan Tower... is the difficulty really this high?’
’And this is supposed to be the most efficient way to earn Contribution Points.’
Qin Feng looked down at his hands, where the phantom pain of shattered bone still lingered, his heart filled with astonishment.
