117: Chapter 117 First Wave of Rewards Distributed (Part 1)

Above the clouds, Qin Ce was immersed in planning for the future.

Suddenly.

That familiar notification sound rang out in his mind again, this time carrying a deeper, ancient-sounding hum.

[ Detected: "The Fall of the King" mission completed, beginning final settlement... ]

Qin Ce perked up.

The Fall of the King?

This was the system reward for killing the Raven King; it had finally arrived!

...

[ Settlement summary in progress ]

[ Kill target: Raven King (Gold Rank High Grade) ]

[ Contribution assessment: Fatal Blow ]

[ Experienced one auxiliary critical injury combat opportunity, broke through Gold Rank battlefield interception, broke through Silver Storm interception, broke through Ice Soul Spirit-Devouring Insects swarm, broke through the siege of five top-tier Gold Rank, observed meticulously to find the Raven King's true body, successfully escaped completely from Gold Rank pursuit ]

[ Comprehensive evaluation: S Rank ]

[ Mission completed with an extremely excellent battle record ]

[ Distributing Reward 1: Raven King variant attribute extraction opportunity × 1 ]

S Rank evaluation?

Qin Ce's eyes lit up.

Variant attribute extraction!

He had witnessed the horror of the Raven King firsthand—that silver-gray Ink Feather Mist could absorb energy attacks, create illusions that were indistinguishable from reality, and even hide its true location. If he could make this ability his own...

But the next second, he froze.

The Raven King's corpse had long since been blown to bits by the mixed explosion of those four energies, not even leaving a single intact feather behind.

How was he supposed to extract it?

Just as this thought arose in his mind.

A sudden change occurred!

In the void before him, which was clearly empty, a strange ripple suddenly appeared!

The ripple spread like water waves, and wherever it passed, space seemed to be torn into tiny fissures.

And within those fissures, one could vaguely see wisps of silver-gray, mist-like things slowly seeping out.

Qin Ce's pupils constricted.

This is...

Those silver-gray mists were exactly the color of the Raven King's Ink Feather Mist!

They seeped out from those spatial fissures, then gathered, condensed, and compressed in front of Qin Ce—

Finally forming a fist-sized, constantly wriggling silver-gray ball of light.

The ball of light hovered in front of Qin Ce, emitting a faint, eerie energy fluctuation. In that fluctuation, there was the corrosive nature of the Ink Feather, the illusion-creating ability of the mist, but at the core, it was a profound and mysterious aura that Qin Ce had never encountered before.

That was... the aura of space.

[ Detected extractable variant attribute: Void Alien Energy (Incomplete) ]

[ Source: When the Raven King was promoting to Gold Rank, it once devoured a top-tier crystal core containing spatial attributes, gaining partial space control ability. This ability fused with its Ink Feather talent to form a special domain capable of creating illusions and hiding itself. ]

[ Current extractable status: Complete ]

[ Extract? ]

Qin Ce's breath hitched for a moment.

Spatial attribute!

That was the rarest, most profound, and most difficult to control existence among all attributes!

Even for powerhouses at the Bright Moon Level or the Scorching Sun Level, very few could touch the laws of space!

And now, a variant energy with spatial attributes was placed right in front of him!

"Extract!"

Without any hesitation.

Under the system's control, the silver-gray ball of light removed the impurities and kept the essence, forming a marble-sized crystal that instantly submerged into Qin Ce's glabella!

Boom—!!!

A terrifying stream of information flooded into his mind like a floodgate opening!

It wasn't any skill or cultivation technique, but something more essential.

A talent trait.

This was a talent trait that communicated with the void.

At that moment, Qin Ce felt as if he could "see" the surrounding space. Those dimensions that were originally invisible and intangible now had a faint outline in his perception.

He could "feel" that three inches beside the Qingluan, there was an extremely tiny spatial fissure. The fissure was too small, so small that even light could not leak out of it, but it certainly existed.

He could also "feel" that in the clouds in the distance, there were stronger spatial fluctuations—those were certain spatial nodes, connecting to deeper layers of the void.

This perception was still very blurry and weak, but it definitely existed.

[ Obtained Talent Trait: Void Perception (Primary) ]

[ Effect: Can weakly perceive surrounding spatial fluctuations, spatial fissures, and spatial nodes. As strength increases, this perception will gradually strengthen and may derive higher-level spatial abilities. ]

He had drawn a spatial-type trait!

Qin Ce took a deep breath, suppressing the wild joy in his heart.

This talent trait looked very weak right now, but its potential was immense.

Because it was a spatial attribute.

That was the supreme law that countless people dreamed of.

It was just a pity...

He glanced at the Qingluan.

The Qingluan was pure Wind-type and did not completely align with the spatial attribute.

If he forcibly integrated this talent into the Qingluan's body, it might instead affect its own Wind origin.

"Keep it for now." Qin Ce muttered to himself, "Wait until there is a chance in the future, then find a suitable opportunity to use it."

With a thought, that silver-gray talent trait condensed into a tiny speck of light in his sea of consciousness, quietly hovering in the corner.

[ Distributing Reward 2: Exclusive Reward for Beast Tamer, Reborn (Enhanced Version) ] (Because the performance was extremely excellent, the reward was upgraded)

[ Skill Type: Special Body Tempering Skill ]

[ Effect: Will open up the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary vessels for the host. According to the circulation route of the twelve meridians, it will convert the Pet Beast's energy into energy containing solid foundation and yuan-cultivating properties, which works better when combined with corresponding operations. The energy will cause any part of the body—internal organs, tendons and bones, muscles, skin, and hair—to automatically trigger a source-level repair mechanism when injured or damaged. The recovery of injuries will reach ten times the natural recovery rate. Whether it is continuous damage or instantaneous damage, it will be gradually repaired. After the repair is completed, the repaired parts and tissues will also be strengthened to a certain extent. The more severe the injury and the longer the duration, the stronger the growth after repair. ]

[ Note: This skill is a passive skill and does not require active triggering. ]

Qin Ce's eyes lit up instantly.

Passive repair!

And it can strengthen after repair!

What does this mean?

It means as long as he doesn't die, every injury is an opportunity to become stronger!

Those severe injuries that would be fatal to ordinary people, here, would instead become catalysts for his growth!

Qin Ce had not finished rejoicing yet.

The next reward had arrived.
