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

Chapter 520 Crushing Gu Cheng! (Seeking monthly votes)
"Bang!!"

In the center of the arena, the crimson sword energy, resembling a fire dragon, clashed first with the golden spear energy.

"Hoohoo!!"

With a loud bang, energy splashed everywhere, creating a violent gust of wind that raged across the arena.

In the blink of an eye, the two figures passed through the strong wind and saw each other.

"Die!"

Gu Cheng exuded murderous intent, releasing terrifying power from his body, and an invisible, fiery red lizard materialized.

This is the eleventh-level demonic beast he comprehended from the Blood Pillar of Ten Thousand Beasts—the Lava Lizard!
"Roar!!"

The giant lizard was released, and he swung his battle blade, the blade energy highly condensed, the fire dragon intent integrated into his sword technique.

Upon seeing this, Lin Qi unleashed the Six Techniques of Mountains and Rivers, the essence of mountains and rivers manifesting and flowing at the tip of his spear.

He gripped the spear tightly with both hands, seized the opportunity, and suddenly thrust it upwards, tearing the air apart in an instant!
"Bang!!"

As their weapons clashed and their vital energies collided, only pure impact occurred, and waves of air spread outwards in layers.

The air exploded with a deafening roar, and the terrifying recoil sent the two of them flying back several steps.

"Da da da!!"

Lynch took five steps back, his feet leaving cracks on the alloy floor.

Feel the force rebound along the gun barrel, absorbed and dissipated by the internal energy.

That's incredibly powerful!
Lynch quickly made a judgment in his mind, and his target for comparison was Genos, the black man from the Silver Federation.

The opponent's strength was very strong, which left a deep impression on him.

However, Gu Cheng's strength is now much greater than Genos's, especially in terms of the impact of his swordsmanship.

Gu Cheng was over 2.1 meters tall and extremely strong.

Lin Qi felt that even though he had used half his strength, he was actually at a disadvantage.

"Da da da!!"

Gu Cheng took three steps back, looking at Lin Qi, his excitement growing.
"Lin Qi, is this your power?"

"too weak!"

"I'll show you true power!"

He charged out again with great strides, like a fire dragon, wielding his sword.

The intense heat of the blade caused the temperature in the air to rise continuously, further enhancing the power of his swordsmanship.

His strike just now only used 70% of his strength, yet it completely overwhelmed Lin Qi.

With this level of skill, how dare they challenge me?

So all he can do is bully his younger brother who hasn't awakened yet.

He was still the champion of the global martial arts competition.

It can only be said that the current generation of geniuses are getting weaker and weaker. If you put your current opponents in this year's competition, they could all win the championship.

Fire Dragon Blade Technique - Fire Dragon Dance!
This time, he unleashed 80% of his power, easily crushing Lin Qi as easily as crushing an ant.

"boom!!"

Lin Qi brandished his spear, increasing his power to seventy percent, and continued to probe.

The imagery of mountains and rivers emerges, and the profound power of this imagery empowers the entire body.

“Bang bang!!”

Above the arena, the two sides clashed once again, crimson flames and golden energy colliding.

The two sides clashed fiercely.

Once a martial artist reaches the seventh realm, they can condense their inner energy, which becomes their strongest offensive technique.

The clash of their internal forces is the clash of martial arts principles.

If the power of a move is weakened, one will naturally fall into a disadvantageous position, unless one possesses greater speed or astonishing defensive capabilities.

Lin Qi could sense that Gu Cheng's fighting style was relentless, fiery, and violent.

Each strike is domineering, like a wild, fiery dragon dancing wildly.

“Bang bang!!”

The two sides clashed head-on in the arena!
I felt the intense heat of the flames, like leaping flames dancing wildly across my body.

To break through the defenses of the罡劲 (gāngjìn) and incinerate him.

The two clashed repeatedly in the arena, exchanging several blows in just a few seconds.

A terrifying burst of energy emanated from the ground beneath their feet, causing numerous cracks to appear like a spiderweb.

……

In the auditorium,

The Sword Emperor, who had been silent all along, slowly began to comment:
"Gu Cheng's 'Fire Dragon Saber Technique' has already deeply inherited your true teachings, Chi Lie."

"Your swordsmanship was created based on the Red Emperor's ultimate technique, but it has your own style and is even more powerful and fierce."

"Gu Cheng is now going further and further down the path of reaching the Divine Realm, getting closer and closer to the fourth level of perfection."

"We can look forward to the fifth-tier sword technique!"

"Ha ha!"

King Chi Lie laughed heartily. Among martial artists of the Ninth Realm, most address each other by their titles or real names.

For example, the Crimson King is called Crimson by everyone, which is also an unconventional name.

Chi Lie was very happy and made no attempt to hide his joy, even though he knew that Lin Qi was the grand-disciple of the Mountain and River King.

"In our Xia Kingdom, besides the Crimson Emperor, I am the only one who can comprehend a completely new sword technique from the Crimson Emperor's ultimate skills."

King Chi Lie was very proud.

"Gu Cheng is my proudest disciple, so it's normal for him to defeat Lin Qi."

"After all, he is a genius who won the global martial arts championship."

"Look, Gu Cheng hasn't even used his full strength yet, and Lin Qi is already at a disadvantage!"

The Sword King of Beijiang frowned, silently complaining to himself:
"It's just a copy of the Crimson Emperor's ultimate technique, with only minor modifications. What's there to be proud of?"

The Crimson Emperor was the most outstanding of the Crimson Emperor's sons, so his martial arts styles were similar, both referencing the Crimson Emperor's martial arts.

There's nothing wrong with him doing this.

However, the fact that even the Crimson King did this made the other ninth-realm warriors secretly despise him.

He looked at Lin Qi in the arena. He admired him greatly. If it weren't for the Mountain and River King's intervention, he would have wanted to take Lin Qi as his disciple.

He naturally didn't want Lynch to lose the match.

So he turned to look at the Mountain and River King and found that the other party's expression was calm, and he could not tell what the specific thoughts were.

……

In the corner of the audience seats
"Haha, Lin Qi is at a disadvantage!"

Gu Ming and a group of people sat in the corner, looking excited, and he clenched his fists and waved them!
He was extremely excited and couldn't wait to see Lin Qi kneel down.

"Lynch is doomed to lose!"

"Some idiots actually think Lin Qi can win. Didn't they see that 80% of the people on the War House forum think Gu Cheng is bound to win?"

Gu Ming looked up at the large screen in the air, where the Dalian River comment section had been updated.

"It's over, we're no match for them!"

"Being suppressed throughout the entire process, defeat was inevitable!"

"I knew Lin Qi would lose. A genius like him needs to be taught a lesson!"

In a corner of the audience in the distance, Xu Qin, dressed in green, frowned as she looked at the live chat comments:

"Lin Qi's strength shouldn't be this weak!"

As a genius who had awakened two abilities, he was very aware of the power of this level.

The condensed internal energy can unleash a stronger boost to combat power.

Not to mention, Lynch's talent is even greater than his.

He had already received news from home that Lin Qi had broken the record for the Blood Pillar of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The strength he is currently displaying is completely inconsistent with his talent.

"Could it be that Lin Qi is hiding his true strength?"

Xu Qing suddenly had this idea.

Looking at the field again, Lin Qi remained calm, and the previously dominant situation began to change.

They became evenly matched.

A smile immediately appeared on her lips.

Many high-level martial artists in the audience also sensed that something was wrong.

in the arena.

Gu Cheng wildly swung his battle sword, his body activated, becoming more and more excited as he fought.

Unbeknownst to them, they unleashed their full power!
"Die!!"

“Bang bang bang!!!”

The swordplay was chaotic, the fire dragon raged, and it clashed with the golden energy.

Before they knew it, they had already exchanged dozens of blows.

In the arena, the air vibrates like undulating waves, sweeping outwards in all directions.

"Lin Qi, is this all the power you have?"

Gu Cheng couldn't help but mock Lin Qi, his heart brimming with confidence!
In the first 20 moves, he completely dominated Lynch.

Lin Qi simply ignored this and continued his attack.

By the 40th move, Gu Cheng began to unleash his full power, while Lin Qi unleashed 70% of his strength, and the situation began to change.

On the 50th move, Gu Cheng's expression began to change, and he had a bad feeling.

By the 70th move, the two were evenly matched, and Gu Cheng even felt a terrifying force impacting his body.

His powerful body began to tire, and his internal organs ached slightly.

My arms felt numb, and my blood was surging.

His face began to look pale.

Lin Qi remained calm as he unleashed the "Mountain and River Spear Technique".

The Six Strikes of Mountains and Rivers are unleashed, and once unleashed, they are integrated into the spear's energy, resulting in continuous clashes.

After exchanging dozens of blows, besides the recoil from the collisions, one's physical strength was also depleted.

He didn't even need to activate his [Golden Eyes] when facing Gu Cheng.

"Is this all you've got? Do you need me to give you a handicap?"

"clang!"

The two sides collided again, and the distance between them increased!

Lin Qi finally spoke up with a sarcastic remark.

Upon hearing this, Gu Cheng was instantly enraged. He had been unable to defeat Lin Qi, and the power of the attack was making him frustrated.

Sweat kept beading on his forehead, only to evaporate instantly, leaving him flushed red.

After saying that, he swung his battle sword again, infusing it with the essence of the fire dragon.

He charged out, transforming into a fire dragon, swooping down, his blade energy condensing and spreading four meters before slashing out fiercely.

The ultimate move of the Fire Dragon Blade Technique – Fire Dragon Fury!
"Hoohoo!!"

The sword energy was released, like a roaring fire dragon.

Lin Qi remained calm upon seeing this, wielding his black and gold spear, condensing the Golden Emperor Spear Qi, and releasing a continuous stream of power.

The golden spear energy spread several meters, then suddenly exerted its power, like the roar of a tiger.

A golden tiger seemed to emerge from his body.

He gathered his strength and then burst forth.

"Bang!!"

The two forces clashed violently in the air, their energies exploding and flames burning, and the audience felt a wave of heat wash over them.

And a sharp edge capable of cutting through everything.

The violent collision sent energy scattering everywhere. In an instant, Gu Cheng felt a terrifying force surge from the blade into his body.

His own internal energy shattered like glass, and countless sharp points, like razor blades, cut into his body.

"Puff!!"

Numerous scratches instantly appeared on his armor, and bloodstains appeared on his face.

His body flew out uncontrollably.

"Bang!!"

He tumbled several meters on the ground in the strong wind before coming to a stop.

In an instant, all the spectators fell silent.

The air suddenly became quiet.

The screen in the Red World was also filled with question marks.

"???"

In the audience, King Chi Lie frowned and his face turned gloomy.

The corners of Shanhe Wang's mouth turned up slightly.

The others in the stands were also shocked; the situation in the arena had changed drastically, something they had not anticipated.

In the arena
"call out!"

Lin Qi stood still, his whole body radiating golden light, his black and gold spear enveloped in spear energy, looking down at Gu Cheng like a god.

He said dismissively:

"Gu Cheng, is that all...?"

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Show me your little supernatural power, or you might as well just die!"

Gu Cheng sprang to his feet with a somersault, his face pale, his hands gripping the sword trembling uncontrollably.

His blood surged, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"How can it be……?"

How could I possibly lose?
Gu Cheng's eyes were bloodshot, he was burning with rage, and his emotions were completely out of control.

All he wants now is to beat Lynch!
"boom!!"

In an instant, he activated his minor supernatural power, his eyes turned blood red, his blood flowed faster, and his power surged out with his blood.

His muscles swelled, making him even more imposing, and his inner strength seemed to solidify.

His physical strength increased significantly, his power surged, and the pain throughout his body dissipated.

The temperature in the air rose wildly, making people feel as if they were in an oven.

The minor supernatural power is most effective when it is first comprehended, greatly enhancing physical fitness.

As one's cultivation level increases, the rate of improvement in minor supernatural abilities decreases.

It's not even as strong as the amplification from Gang Jin.

But it is still the best choice when you're fighting for your life.

"Lin Qi, you're asking for it!"

Gu Cheng gathered his inner energy, his entire body engulfed in blazing crimson flames, and instantly vanished from his spot, leaving behind a spiderweb-like crack in the ground.

A giant lava lizard appeared.

"call out!"

Gu Cheng shot straight out, his powerful energy counteracting the air's restraint, producing a whistling sound as if tearing through the air.

It's faster!

Lin Qi's gaze sharpened, clearly sensing that Gu Cheng's speed had increased.

But so what!

He activated his special ability, [Golden Light], and imbued it into his entire body.

When you unleash your full power, your body is empowered and becomes lighter.

"call out!!"

The movement technique "Nine Lightning Flashes" was unleashed, enhanced by golden light, shooting out like a black and gold lightning bolt.

He instantly brandished the large spear in his hand, his veins bulging, and the Golden Emperor's罡劲 (Golden Emperor's罡劲) fully displayed its domineering side.

"Roar!"

The phantom of the Golden Tiger appeared, its aura greatly enhanced.

This made Shanhe Wang's eyes light up in the audience.

"Oh!"

Gu Cheng unleashed his ultimate move once again—Fire Dragon Fury!
This time, with the overall improvement in physical fitness, the power of the killing move has also increased significantly.

"Roar!!"

The fiery dragon blade energy was released, roaring through the air.

What greeted him was a golden spear that condensed into the shape of a golden cudgel.

Lin Qi swung his spear and thrust it out suddenly.

The ultimate move of the "Mountain and River Spear Technique" - Heaven and Earth Return to Nothingness!
On the shattered alloy surface of the arena, the two clashed once more.

As the blade and spear clashed, the air vibrated at high speed, and invisible ripples spread outwards.

In the next instant, heat and sharpness clashed, competing and vying for impact.

It's like two cars speeding on a highway and colliding in an instant.

Lin Qi saw himself as a modified armored vehicle, while Gu Cheng was just an ordinary tram.

The outcome of the collision is self-evident.

The hundreds of thousands of spectators watched with wide eyes as the two forces clashed in the arena, anticipating the final result.

"what!!"

Gu Cheng felt a terrifying force, and he watched helplessly as his Fire Dragon Blade Aura shattered.

It was like two sharp blades clashing; his weapon shattered, signifying defeat.

The blade energy was suddenly unleashed, revealing the battle blade within, and the intense impact was transmitted to the body through the blade.

The golden spear energy, like a spiraling arrow, pierced through the battle blade and struck his own body.

Intense pain, like a spider web, spread throughout his body, causing him to roar in agony.

His protective energy was shattered, and the sharp energy cut into his body, tearing his exposed skin.

"Oh!"

To the audience, Gu Cheng's body looked like a kite with a broken string crashing heavily to the ground.

"Pfft~"

Large amounts of blood and fragments of internal organs were ejected into the air.

A large crater formed in the earth, and Gu Cheng was embedded in it.

"Da da da!!"

Lin Qi simply used the momentum to stagger backward a dozen steps and regain his balance.

"Gu Cheng, is this all you've got?"

"too weak!"

"You really are just like Gu Ming, nothing more than a clown!"

After Lin Qi finished speaking, he began to brandish his spear, leaped high into the air, stretched his body in the air, and crashed down like Mount Tai.

Gu Cheng endured the pain, stood up, and brandished his sword to defend himself.

"Oh!"

The spear clashed with the sword again, and the terrifying force instantly sent the sword flying out of his hand.

"Crack!"

Several sounds of bones cracking mingled together as Gu Cheng fell to his knees, his knees shattering instantly upon impact.

Despite the armor protecting his shoulders, the terrifying force still caused his bones to shatter.

"Pfft~"

Gu Cheng's face was contorted as he looked up at Lin Qi opposite him.

"Gu Cheng, three months?"

"Ridiculous. With your strength, I could have defeated you when I was at the sixth realm."

"Does Ivan Petrov from the Russian Bear Country know about this?"

"If he masters the Gang Jin (罡劲), you might not be able to defeat him!"

Lin Qi's words were like sharp swords piercing Gu Cheng's heart. Compared to the physical pain, the emotional damage was even more painful for him.

"Lin Qi, you...!"

Gu Cheng's eyes were bloodshot; he could only writhe in a helpless rage!
Lynch concluded by saying:
"What, you're not convinced?"

"You can ask for outside help; I have no problem with anyone at the seventh realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qi unleashed his Golden Emperor Qi, blasting it into Gu Cheng's body and shattering his heart.

Gu Cheng's face stiffened, and he vanished into nothingness into the air.

He holstered his gun and looked at the crowd in the stands.

[The competition is over!]

[Result of the duel: Gu Cheng lost, Lin Qi won!]

Above the arena, an intelligent voice announced the final result.

As soon as the result was announced, the entire audience erupted in cheers.

"impossible!"

Gu Ming instantly stood up from his seat, his face filled with terror, repeatedly saying, "Impossible!"

His heart was filled with panic.

His brother Gu Cheng actually lost?

His brother is the champion of the global martial arts competition. He arrived several months earlier than Lin Qi, yet he has already lost.
How can this be?

Everyone around was dumbfounded.

Gu Cheng lost. Were they hallucinating?

"Ha ha!!"

"Junior Brother won!"

The four members of the Crack Rock Squad laughed, especially Liang Tai, who laughed heartily without any restraint.

It sounded extremely jarring to Gu Ming and the others.

The comments section was filled with question marks and exclamation marks.

"It was worth it, this match was so entertaining!"

"Lin Qi is too incredible! He actually won!"

"Gu Cheng is no ordinary person. In the previous Global Martial Arts Tournament, he easily swept his opponents to win the championship."

"Now, however, he has been crushed by Lin Qi, who is three years younger than him."

"There are mountain high mountain!"

"Can you believe this is a genius who just broke through to the seventh realm?"

"I'm impressed, this is a true genius!"

In the front row of the audience, a group of high-level martial artists were also shocked.

"Clap!!"

Some people applauded Lynch in the arena.

Pei Yiqing, dressed in a red robe, was the most excited, while Pei Hongfeng beside her couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Impressive! This is a top-tier genius!"

"Always able to defy others' expectations and achieve incredible feats!"
