Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 517 Fierce Competition (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In the King of Mountains and Rivers' sight, the man in black and gold armor brandished his spear, releasing golden spear energy.

The surrounding level 5 and 6 monsters were all pierced through the body by a single shot, and their massive bodies crashed to the ground.

With a loud explosion, blood splattered everywhere!

One shot is all it takes to kill any monster.

The person Shanhe Wang was looking at was naturally Lin Qi.

"This kid is even stronger than I imagined!"

King Shanhe stroked his beard and smiled.

He was very clear about the value of the level 12 Calamity Beast in the Blood Pillar of Ten Thousand Beasts.

He had mastered the advanced cultivation method of a level 12 calamity beast, which enabled him to enter the top five in the Xia Kingdom.

Not to mention the six top-tier level twelve calamity beasts.

Those who were able to comprehend this are now among the top ten in the world.

He clearly remembered that the Overlord and the Crimson Emperor had just mastered the Gang Jin (罡劲) when they went to the battlefield.

Faced with this level seven calamity beast, he was able to rampage and slaughter countless high-level calamity beasts.

Success gave countless people in the Xia Kingdom hope for victory.

The same is true for Lynch now.

"Steel Tiger, Giant Tiger, and Armored Rhinoceros are powerful beings among the level seven calamity beasts."

"They were just blown to bits!"

"Lin Qi has the bearing of a Crimson Emperor and a Tyrant!"

And this genius was his grand-disciple, which made him feel proud.

He had taken in many disciples before, but in terms of quality, the Overlord was still a bit inferior to the Crimson Emperor.

"Senior Huo, this must be Lin Qi?"

"His strength is indeed formidable!"

A tall, beautiful woman in blue armor standing nearby exclaimed in surprise.

King Shanhe nodded and smiled:
"That's right, he's my grand-disciple!"

……

Time passed slowly, and several hours went by in the blink of an eye.

The horde of monsters began around 8:30 a.m.

Seven hours have passed now.

It was already afternoon.

The battlefield remained bustling, filled with the sounds of artillery fire and the roars of monstrous beasts.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

Compared to several hours ago, the horde of monsters has begun to recede, or rather, the slaughter has reduced it to a dwindling tide.

The corpses of monstrous beasts were everywhere!
"Pfft~"

Senior Brother Liang Tai wielded his silver spear, swiftly piercing through the body of a bronze bull.

"call!!"

By this time, he was covered in blood, his entire body soaked in the blood of the calamity beast.

A wave of intense fatigue washed over me, and I couldn't stop myself from gasping for breath.

“Bang bang!!”

Looking around, there was no longer any trace of the calamity beasts alive.

Wang Zhixuan, Xiao Yu, and Xi Jing also finished their battles.

Their faces showed undeniable exhaustion.

Xiao Yu then plopped down on the corpse of the bronze bull.

Not far away, a hundred meters away, a metal figure clad in black armor thrust out a long spear, shooting out beams of spear energy like arrows.

All the surrounding monsters were pierced by the arrows.

One person can kill as many calamity beasts as dozens of sixth-realm martial artists.

The four of them killed less than half the number of calamity beasts that Lin Qi had killed.

When facing a mid-level calamity beast, the opponent can only resort to a dimensional reduction attack.

Liang Tai also benefited a lot from following Lin Qi.

The merit points earned in a few hours are equivalent to several days in normal times.

Senior Brother Liang Tai spoke first:

"The horde of monsters is nearing its end. We're exhausted and can head back now!"

Lin Qi came over. He had gained a lot in the past few hours, saving many people and killing many monsters.

His merit points were steadily increasing; he hadn't looked at them closely yet, but he estimated there were quite a few.

My ranking should also improve.

The eldest brother continued:

"At the base, if you feel tired, never push yourself."

"Return to base as soon as possible and be aware that a typical monster horde will last for one or two days."

"Many warriors returned to their base to rest when they were tired, and then continued their hunt."

"Anyway, everyone can run fast, and the battlefield is only a dozen kilometers long!"

Lynch nodded; it was time to reap the rewards again.

So the group quickly returned home!
“Bang bang!!”

They quickly returned to the defensive line, along with many others.

“Bang bang bang!!!”

The black armored vehicle was equipped with a Gatling gun-like machine gun, which was firing bullets at the charging low-level monsters!

Slightly stronger ones require tanks to bombard them directly; one shot is enough to overwhelm a low-level monster.

Your body will be blasted into pieces, and then you'll be useless.

Only intermediate-level martial artists can withstand it, and the corpse can be preserved intact and sold for money.

Therefore, the military prefers warriors to hunt down the monsters.

Firearms are too brutal.

“Puff~~”

On their way back, Lin Qi and his group of martial artists hunted down many low-level monsters, relieving the pressure on the defensive line.

After entering the gate, Liang Tai led everyone to the rest hall next to the gate.

Inside, many martial artists sat, looking exhausted. They began to drink water and rest, their bodies exuding a strong aura of killing intent and the stench of blood.

"what!!"

Others are receiving treatment; their combat uniforms are torn, their skin is cut open, and blood is flowing.

In such an environment, some people are still eating nutritious meals, which does not affect their eating at all.

The spacious hall has numerous windows selling medical supplies, medicines, and other items.

In the corner were rows of metal cabinets, which could be opened with a password and contained a large number of items.

Liang Tai opened the cabinet with practiced ease, took out bottles of energy drinks, and handed them to everyone. "Thanks, Captain!"

The group then took out towels, drank their beverages, and used the towels to wipe the blood and dust off their bodies.

"Guru Guru~"

While Lin Qi was drinking water, his senior brother Liang Tai started introducing things again.

"Junior brother, this is the rest hall. The accommodation area is too far away."

"Everyone usually rests here; it's close by and very convenient."

"Each person can rent a locker to put their things in, so they can use it immediately when they come back to rest."

Lin Qi nodded. Resting on the battlefield was tantamount to suicide!
We must return to base; that's the only way to ensure absolute safety.

"Junior brother, we're going to continue hunting monsters this afternoon. Do you want to come with us?"

Liang Tai asked.

With Lynch's help, they earned a considerable number of merit points throughout the morning.

Even if Lin Qi leaves now, it doesn't matter.

Lin Qi shook his head and said, "Let's continue!"

"I'll take action myself next time there's a monster horde!"

Liang Tai nodded, feeling grateful.

He knew that his junior brother wanted to help them earn more merit points.

Without Lynch, it won't be so easy for them to hunt the Disaster Beast again.

Then everyone started ordering nutritious meals, preparing to continue hunting the monsters after eating.

"I'm telling you!"

"I was on the front line just now and saw the battle between high-level martial artists."

"The intensity of that battle was incredible; I didn't dare get close at all."

Among the group, a few people started chatting, attracting a lot of attention.

In the entire rest hall, it was rare to see any martial artists at a high level.

Their physical fitness levels are completely different and belong to different categories.

With high-level martial artists absent, sixth-level martial artists are the most outstanding.

A tall, burly man with rugged features spoke, exuding a strong murderous aura.

His face bore several scars, and he exuded the air of a veteran.

"He is Zhang Chuan, a veteran of the Black Dragon Base. It is said that he has been in the Black Dragon Base for 15 years, fighting his way up from the mid-level martial artist."

"At the peak of the sixth realm, I will soon be able to break through to the seventh realm."

"Their team can be said to be the strongest team in the Black Dragon Base, all of them are at the peak of the sixth realm."

Senior Brother Liang Tai began to introduce him, and Lin Qi nodded, already sensing the aura emanating from the other man.

Zhang Chuan slowly opened his mouth and sighed:

"I have to say, these geniuses at the seventh realm are truly powerful."

"I just saw Gu Cheng. Within three hours, he was surrounded by a group of level seven calamity beasts and managed to kill 10 of them."

"That strength is truly terrifying; it felt even easier than when I killed a level six calamity beast."

"Gu Cheng has only been at the Black Dragon Base for a few months."

A teammate spoke up:

"Gu Cheng, the Fire Dragon Blade, is an SSS-level genius, unlike us ordinary people."

“He’s currently ranked 100th on the Seven Realms Ranking. Give him a few more months, and he might be able to break into the top ten.”

"It's quite difficult to get into the top ten, as Xu Qin is also an SSS-level genius."

"Those who came to the base around the same time as Gu Cheng now number 80."

"Not to mention Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing, who are currently ranked first and second respectively."

"To this day, no one has been able to surpass the two of them."

"They are incredibly powerful beings capable of killing level eight calamity beasts!"

Upon hearing this, two terrifying figures flashed through the old man's mind.

Two figures also appeared in Zhang Chuan's mind. In his 15 years at the Black Dragon Base, he had never seen such a terrifying genius.

Suddenly someone else spoke up:

"Speaking of which, this morning I saw Gu Cheng's younger brother, Gu Ming, being forced to kneel on the ground."

"Is the kneecap definitely going to break?"

These words immediately piqued Zhang Chuan's curiosity.

Liang Tai and the others in the distance also looked at Lin Qi.

"I know it was Lin Qi who did it!"

Someone spoke.

"Lin Qi is also a top genius. It is said that he is only 20 years old and has already reached the seventh realm."

"Since his younger brother was publicly humiliated by Lin Qi, Gu Cheng will most likely go after Lin Qi."

"If these two were to fight, who would be stronger?" someone asked.

“Gu Cheng is stronger. He is also the champion of the global martial arts competition and broke through to the seventh realm earlier.”

The group started discussing Gu Cheng and Lin Qi, wondering who was more capable.

Lynch sat calmly in the corner.

Liang Tai and the other three looked rather grave, worried that Gu Cheng might cause trouble for Lin Qi.

Lin Qi saw through their thoughts and laughed, "Don't worry about me!"

"Just Gu Cheng!"

Seeing Lin Qi so calm, Liang Tai felt relieved and planned to report the incident to his teacher Mu Hong that evening.

A few moments later, the nutritious meal was delivered.

Lin Qi then had Xiao Chan open her personal center and project it as a small panel.

I watched it while eating:
[Name: Lin Qi (Heilong Base)]

[Realm: Seventh Realm Blood Transformation]

[Merit Points: 32000]

[Base Ranking: 406→404]

Overall Ranking: 3600 → 3580

……

Lin Qi looked at the rankings and couldn't help but shake his head.

The competition for rankings in the Seven Realms is too fierce.

I killed more than two people in a whole morning.

……
