Along with a faint distortion of space, the unique ripples of Subspace Teleportation slowly subsided.
After the light dissipated, Qin Feng’s figure appeared clearly in a vast area that felt both futuristic and powerful.
This was the Fearless Warband’s exclusive functional area—the Fearless Zone.
Not far away, three familiar figures were already waiting for him.
It was none other than Long Yu, Nissan, and Ning Jing.
Though it had only been a few months, the auras of the three had undergone a heaven-and-earth-shaking transformation.
If before they were like hundred-times-refined steel, their power contained within their bodies and their sharp edges hidden;
then now, they were wreathed in a force field that was intangible and formless, yet undeniably real.
It was a unique aura formed from their Mental Power beginning to interfere with reality, making their presence feel weightier and more profound.
"Qin Feng, you’re finally here."
Nissan’s lion-like golden hair glinted under the light. He laughed heartily and spread his arms, pulling Qin Feng into a solid embrace. His massive hands slapped Qin Feng’s back with a loud THUMP THUMP.
"Congratulations to the three of you on your breakthrough."
Qin Feng smiled genuinely, feeling the power emanating from Nissan. It was far more condensed than before and now carried a hint of mental pressure.
"The feeling’s mutual. Forging Top-grade Primordial Acupoints in just thirty years—now that’s the real cause for celebration."
The gentle, jade-like Long Yu walked over, his smile as reassuring as ever.
Beside them, Ning Jing merely nodded at Qin Feng. His expression remained cold, but the approval in his eyes was undisguised.
He was a pure Martial Artist, and he never hesitated to show respect to the strong.
Behind the trio stood two seniors with even more profound auras.
They stood there silently, like two unassuming mountains. They revealed no sharp edges, yet possessed a profound, abyss-like weight, as if they had merged completely with the force field of the Fearless Zone.
"Come, let me introduce you."
Long Yu turned to the side to make the introductions. "Qin Feng, this is Senior Brother Liang You, and this is Senior Brother Chu Qi. Both of them are senior instructors in our Fearless Warband. They’ve been immersed in the Sixth Level of Soaring Realm for many years, and their life force index long ago stabilized at eighteen thousand points. They are true powerhouses who have touched the first ’great limit.’"
Qin Feng’s heart stirred, and his gaze fell upon the two men.
Senior Brother Liang You appeared gentle and refined, more like a scholar than a Martial Artist, and his aura was calm and balanced.
Senior Brother Chu Qi, on the other hand, was powerfully built, with features as if chiseled from stone and eyes as sharp as a hawk’s. He carried the iron-and-blood aura of a battle-hardened veteran.
"Senior Brother Liang, Senior Brother Chu."
Qin Feng bowed respectfully.
This wasn’t deference in the face of power, but respect for those who had traveled further down the path of the Martial Dao.
"Hello, Qin Feng."
The two senior brothers burst into laughter. Chu Qi’s resonant voice boomed, "We’ve been wanting to meet you for a while! If you hadn’t turned the tide at the last moment during that nightmare-level mission, our Warband would have lost its top spot. We’re both instructors, so feel free to ask us if you run into any problems with your training. Just come find us here in the Warband’s Fearless Zone."
Liang You added, "The grand mentors are responsible for the overall planning of your cultivation path—the macro-level strategic adjustments. But when it comes to practicing specific techniques, like the *Foundations of the Imperial Spiritual Manipulation Technique*, and dealing with the detailed problems you encounter along the way, senior instructors are more than qualified. We ’old hands’ who’ve been stuck at a certain realm for a long time might not have other talents, but we definitely have some experience when it comes to honing the fundamentals."
"Oh, right, the instruction is free,"
Liang You added with a smile. "In fact, it’s considered an internal mission within the Warband. The Warband gives us instructors prestige points as a reward. In the future, say you get stuck at a bottleneck or grow tired of going out on life-or-death missions, you can also accept instructor missions from the Warband and guide the newer junior brothers and sisters. You can earn a generous amount of Contribution Points and prestige points that way, too. Of course, in terms of profit, it’s not as much as the reward from a single Warrior Level mission, but it has the advantage of being safe and stable."
"I see."
The realization dawned on Qin Feng, and he nodded.
’He instantly understood the elegance of this system. It not only provided a stable channel for High-level Martial Artists to earn resources but also created a virtuous cycle of knowledge inheritance. This allowed the experts’ experience to be passed down efficiently, greatly strengthening the entire Warband’s foundation and cohesion.’
"The main reason we called you over was to tell you about the senior instructors in the Warband."
Long Yu clapped Qin Feng on the shoulder, and his smile suddenly turned a little mischievous.
"With the senior brothers guiding you, you’ll avoid a lot of pitfalls while learning the Spiritual Manipulation Technique, and you’ll master the basics several times faster. That’s the first reason."
His tone shifted, and he chuckled mischievously. "As for the second reason... we want to have a proper fight with you. The three of us just broke through to the Sixth Level, and we’re only just getting the hang of manipulating our Mental Power. As for the Fourth-level Killing Technique... well, we’ve learned the theory, but we haven’t even scratched the surface of applying it."
"So,"
Long Yu’s smile grew even wider. "If we don’t seize this golden opportunity to thrash you a bit, by the time a monster like you learns to manipulate Mental Power, we’ll probably never get the chance again!"
At these words, even the usually carefree Nissan put on a look of profound agreement, nodding vigorously. "Exactly! That’s right! We have to beat you up now, or it’ll mess with our state of mind!"
