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

Chapter 542 Eight Blood Transfusions (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

August 26, 2048 (Martial Arts Calendar)

The snow in Bac Giang province has finally stopped, and the sun has even started to come out.

"Hoohoo!!"

Under the sunlight, at the Black Dragon Base's airfield, several bright red Giant Sparrow fighter jets slowly took off and flew into the distance.

Below the airport, a dense crowd watched the fighter jets depart.

Those were warplanes transporting the remains of fallen warriors.

Lin Qi watched the fighter jet disappear from sight, his feelings quite complicated.

Dean Liu, who was standing nearby, spoke up:

"Life is truly unpredictable!"

"Meng Wu is actually a good person, and he has quite a few friends."

"Unfortunately, he had been in the position of Southern Inspector of Headquarters for too long, and he became a bit arrogant and made a mistake!"

"At the Black Dragon Base, he also hunted down calamity beasts with all his might, saving many martial artists!"

"He sacrificed himself to save you; it was his fate."

"Don't worry, Meng Wu is a peak eighth-realm martial artist. He has huge assets and a pension!"

Lin Qi said seriously:
"My grudges with him are now completely wiped clean!"

"I know Meng Wu has three children, the youngest of whom is only 3 years old!"

"Even though they may not need my help, they can come to me if they encounter any difficulties in the future!"

Dean Liu nodded. Lin Qi is a top genius on Blue Star and a future top powerhouse.

His promise is not something everyone can have.

The surrounding martial artists began to disperse one after another.

Lin Qi and Dean Liu walked back against the cold wind.

Dean Liu slowly began to speak:

"I heard from King Shanhe that the Imperial Star Palace has decided to take action against the Zerg after a meeting!"

"We've only left one ninth-realm warrior at our Black Dragon Base. All the other ninth-realm experts have been mobilized, and we plan to eliminate the Zerg as quickly as possible!"

Lin Qi nodded; he also wanted to kill the Zerg!

However, he is currently only a seventh-level martial artist and is not qualified to participate in the operation.

If you insist on participating, you might end up holding the team back!

All I can do is work hard to improve my strength and break through to the eighth realm as soon as possible, so that I can make more contributions.

A moment later, Lin Qi returned to the door of his room 206.

A black intelligent robot was seen transporting 10 silver cylindrical metal barrels.

A tall, beautiful staff member smiled and said:
"Mr. Lynch, these are the items you purchased. Please sign for them!"

Lin Qi nodded, took the white tablet, signed his name, and pressed his palm print.

"Buzz!"

The alloy door slid open silently, and the intelligent robot entered automatically. Xiao Chan condensed her body and helped remove the metal barrel.

"Mr. Lynch, the items have been delivered..."

Soon, the female staff member left, the door closed, and Lin Qi was left alone in the room.

He looked at the metal cylinder, which contained 10 tons of the blood of the Thunder Prison Lion, and was very expensive.

"Xiao Chan, move them into the martial arts room."

"Okay, master!"

Xiao Chan carried the ten metal barrels into the martial arts room, and Lin Qi opened one of them.

The next second, a strong, unpleasant smell of blood filled the air.

Lin Qi even sensed an astonishing essence within his blood.

He once consumed dozens of drops of blood from a level-nine calamity beast, which greatly increased his health and vitality.

And now I can drink it by the ton.

A silver straw was also placed next to the silver bucket.

Just like in the novel, Lynch drank it down in large gulps, but in reality, doing so would result in spilling blood, which would be a huge waste.

So Lynch chose to use a straw to insert into the blood.

The blood was swirling, unusually viscous, like mercury.

"Gulu~"

Blood rushed into my mouth in an instant, and my taste buds immediately detected the flavor.

It had an unpleasant taste, accompanied by a rusty smell and a strange aftertaste.

Lin Qi frowned and drank a ton of Thunder Prison Lion blood in one gulp, just like he drank Chinese medicine in his previous life.

"Cough cough!!"

"Whoo~"

After drinking a ton, Lin Qi felt bloated, his whole body started to heat up, and his blood instantly took effect.

The blood entered the abdomen and quickly became scalding hot, like magma, spreading its heat so that all the internal organs emitted high temperatures.

"Hoohoo!"

Lin Qi's face was flushed, his body was steaming with white vapor, and he was sweating profusely.

He sat cross-legged and quickly began circulating the "Golden Emperor's Secret Manual," allowing his body to absorb the blood of the Thunder Prison Lion.

His internal organs began to operate at full capacity, consuming the essence in his blood, which contained a large amount of source energy, and now Lin Qi began to absorb it.

This unleashes the body's potential, and the physical body begins to transform; every part of the body begins to transform.

Lin Qi could feel his body getting hot, but his physical body was also constantly changing.

"Sigh~"

Lin Qi roared in pain as a sudden, intense pain surged through his body, which felt like it was being burned alive.

Moreover, every inch, every cell, looked as if it had been gnawed away by ants.

The intense pain came in waves, one after another.

This is the consequence of consuming too much blood. Other martial artists consume it little by little, and even those who can consume it are only ninth-realm martial artists.

It won't have a very strong effect.

Lin Qi, however, was different. He was only a seventh-realm martial artist, and his physical strength was insufficient. Forcibly absorbing the essence in the blood would cause him extreme pain.

At this moment, Lin Qi's veins bulged, and his skin was as red as a steamed lobster; his body was undergoing a reshaping process.

Muscles, bones, and skin are undergoing dramatic transformations, and damaged internal organs are being repaired and made even more resilient.

Lin Qi sensed that this eighth blood transfusion might result in a more ferocious increase in physical strength than any of the previous ones.

He felt his cells absorbing the essence of the blood, and the genes deep within his blood were undergoing a kind of awakening.

"call!!"

Lin Qi was already soaked in sweat, then dried by the high temperature, and then soaked in sweat again.

The entire martial arts room was also filled with white steam.

Lin Qi frowned, enduring the pain. He had already experienced several system transformations and was used to it.

He even developed an iron will, and he could endure this pain.

However, he soon felt the pain begin to subside.

"not good!"

Lin Qi realized something was wrong; a ton of blood wasn't enough for the eighth blood exchange.

"Xiao Chan, open the second bucket!"

"Okay, master!"

Xiao Chan quickly opened the second bucket, and Lin Qi picked up the straw and sucked hard. Soon, the second bucket was also finished.

"Sigh~"

The pain in my body started to intensify!
Lin Qi felt extremely uncomfortable, as if countless ants were gnawing at his cells. He could only grit his teeth and endure the pain.

The body is like a broken faucet, constantly expelling sweat, along with impurities and toxins.

Finally, as time went by, when Lin Qi felt that all the water in his body had been drained, he suddenly couldn't help but feel his blood flowing out.

My body began to weaken.

Lin Qi was overjoyed. He knew that this was the beginning of his eighth blood transfusion.

Looking down, I saw that blood was indeed flowing out of my pores, and a fishy, ​​foul smell filled the air.

The discharge of dark red blood made him feel weak.

However, he doesn't need to take energy drinks at this time.

Two tons of Thunder Prison Lion blood are enough to replenish the blood needed by the body.

During this process, Lynch's spiritual power penetrated deep into his body.

Experiencing the entire transformation process, impurities are expelled from the body, while new blood is generated, making the internal organs more resilient.

This process was both painful and pleasurable for him!
……

In the blink of an eye, eight hours had passed.

It was 8 p.m. when darkness fell over the Black Dragon Base.

Inside the 206 martial arts room, the ventilation system was turned on, and a gentle breeze blew, dispelling the fishy smell.

On the black cushion, there was only a bloodstain that could be vaguely discerned as a human shape.

Lin Qi's hazy consciousness gradually became clearer, and streams of power surged from his bone marrow, making it numb and continuously generating new blood.

"Dong Dong!!"

His heart began to beat strongly, echoing throughout the entire martial arts room.

"boom!!"

The internal energy circulated within his body and suddenly erupted, causing the blood and grime on his skin to explode and turn into raindrops.

Lin Qi slowly stood up and looked at himself in the full-length mirror.

His physique hadn't changed much, but his aura had become much heavier, as if a mountain had been compressed into his body.

"Whoosh!!"

The blood was as thick and heavy as mercury, which was almost the limit that other martial artists could achieve.

[You have consumed two tons of Thunder Prison Lion blood, undergoing a physical transformation and completing your 8th blood transfusion. Your health and mana have increased by 300!]

[You have completed your 8th blood transfusion, template fusion rate +0.5%, and the awakening progress of unknown abilities has accelerated!]

[Qi and Blood Value: 9150 → 9450]

[Template: Erlang Shen - Yang Jian]

[Integration rate: 38.5% → 39%]

……

Lin Qi's eyes lit up when he saw the information pop up on the panel, and he exhaled a breath of stale air.

With a Qi and Blood value of 9450, there are only 550 left to reach the 10000 mark.

He broke through in just under five months, yet he has already covered a distance that would take others several years.

"Eight blood transfusions are already the limit for other martial artists."

According to the "Secret Canon of the Golden Emperor," even the founder himself only underwent eight blood transfusions!

"Nine blood transfusions are possible, but that's something only the most outstanding geniuses can do."

Lin Qi thought to himself.

After eight blood transfusions, other geniuses could choose to break through to the eighth realm. But he was far from reaching his limit; he could undergo a ninth blood transfusion.

He could foresee that the ninth blood transfusion would also be exceptionally difficult.

He looked at the remaining 8 barrels of Thunder Prison Lion Blood. With them, he should be able to support his cultivation until the ninth blood exchange and break through to the eighth realm.

Finally, Lin Qi looked at the template integration on the panel.

It's only 1% away from 40% fusion.

He guessed that he would most likely awaken again after breaking through to the eighth realm.

A full 10% integration rate.

Previously, it was only 5% to awaken, but this time it's doubled.

It would be a bit unreasonable to only awaken one special ability, "King Kong".

There will likely be other changes as well.

……

fifteen minutes later

Lin Qi emerged from the bathroom looking refreshed; the martial arts room had been cleaned.

Lin Qi looked at the eight barrels of Thunder Prison Lion Blood and thought to himself:
"The blood of a level 10 calamity beast is highly effective when consumed by a seventh-realm martial artist, even more so than the Blood Spirit Potion."

"It can transform the body and unleash its potential."

"Many top martial artists can break through to the eighth realm through this method."

"In the near future, the number of eighth-realm martial artists across the entire Blue Star will also surge!"

Lin Qi picked up the eighth-tier black gold spear and continued his cultivation.

After eight blood transfusions, the digested blood in his body made him feel energetic.

He has a super engine that provides him with a continuous source of energy.

"Boohoo!!"

Holding a gun in one hand, the 5000-kilogram weapon thrusts repeatedly into his hand.

"It's definitely lighter!"

In an instant, Lin Qi felt the black spear in his hand become lighter.

It's even more comfortable to use it in your hands!
It seems that his physical fitness has indeed improved significantly.

Then he used the "Mountain and River Spear Technique," a spear technique that had reached perfection. If he wanted to improve his combat power or advance his realm, he could use it.

We need new marksmanship manuals.

The most powerful secret techniques currently known to humankind are ultimate skills, which are what most eighth and ninth-realm martial artists cultivate.

He needs to travel to Ruins No. 9 in another world to learn a gun technique that perfectly suits him through a trial.

He was very confident in his talent and comprehension.

However, all we need to do now is wait.

……

Two hours later

"Zheng——!"

Lin Qi sheathed his gun, and the Mountain and River Domain dissipated, leaving only the lingering echo of the gun's trembling in the air.

[Through arduous training, your understanding of marksmanship has improved slightly. Marksmanship +1%]

[Gun Technique: Tier 5 04% → Tier 5 05%]

……

Lin Qi exhaled, feeling a sense of pride after practicing his marksmanship for two days.

Even with his top-tier talent, he has only improved by 1% so far.
Reaching 99% at level 5 will likely require a significant amount of time.

Learning new marksmanship techniques is imperative.

……

"drop!"

"Master, it's King Shanhe on the phone!"

Xiao Chan, dressed in blue, slowly spoke, raising her jade-like hand to project a large green screen.

A figure in a silver robe appeared on the other side of the video conference.

He slowly said:

"Lin Qi, get ready!"

"We're setting off for the Otherworld Ruins No. 9 tomorrow!"

Lin Qi nodded after hearing this and said:
"I understand!"

He was somewhat excited; were they finally going to enter Ruins No. 9?
It was faster than he had imagined!

……

At the same time, several geniuses at the seventh and eighth realms throughout the Xia Kingdom received the news.

In a martial arts studio in Shanghai, a simulated garden, a handsome man in a golden robe smiled and said:
"Are we finally setting off?"

"I've been staying in the Seventh Realm all this time, just in preparation for the test at Ruins No. 9."

"It just so happens that I need to meet with Lin Qi tomorrow!"

"Your martial arts skills have actually broken through to the fifth level even faster than mine!"

"I really want to meet him!"

……

August 27, 2048 (Martial Arts Calendar)

The monster horde ended, but no new monster horde broke out!
Unnoticed by most, many ninth-realm warriors in the base began to leave.

At the airport of the Black Dragon Base.

Lin Qi was dressed in black and gold armor, with a black and gold spear strapped to his back. Behind him, Xiao Chan appeared in human form, carrying luggage.

In front of him, there was a silver fighter jet, shaped like a flying saucer, and larger than the Peregrine!
"Let's go, Lynch!"

At this moment, the Mountain and River King, clad in silver armor and possessing a burly and imposing figure, slowly spoke.

Lin Qi nodded, and the two stepped into the fighter jet.

There were three other people with them, one of whom was an acquaintance—Pei Hongfeng.

He also went to Ruins No. 9.

Lin Qi turned to Dean Liu and Mu Hong behind him and said:

"Dean Liu, teacher, we're leaving!"

Dean Liu and Mu Hong nodded, watching Lin Qi and the others enter the fighter jet.

"boom!!"

The fighter jet started up and slowly ascended into the air in the cold wind, then suddenly shot out like an arrow, piercing through the sky.

Dean Liu watched Lin Qi's retreating figure and sighed:
"Lin Qi's trip to Ruins No. 9 will probably take him quite a while!"

"It may be a long time before we can see each other again!"

Mu Hong, dressed in black, spoke up:

"By the time we meet again, he'll probably be at the eighth level!"

……

"boom!!"

Inside the fighter jet was an exceptionally spacious cabin, like a living room, where you could barely feel any vibration.

Lin Qi hung the black and gold spear on the wall and sat down in the silver smart chair.

On the table in front of him, a smart robot brought over hot tea.

Three people were sitting near him: Pei Hongfeng, one at the peak of the seventh realm, and the other at the eighth realm.

The silver-armored Mountain and River King spoke heartily:

"This is my personal fighter jet, the Falcon!"

"It is three times faster than the Peregrine fighter, has more space, and is equipped with a plasma cannon, making it more defensive."

Private fighter jet?

Lin Qi's eyes lit up, and he asked:
"Master, how much does this Falcon fighter jet cost?"

Pei Hongfeng, who was standing next to him, smiled and explained:

"Lin Qi, this Falcon fighter jet can't be bought with money."

"With our current level of technology, it would take a huge amount of money to build a Falcon fighter jet."

"It can only be redeemed with merit points. The Peregrine fighter jet only requires 1500 merit points to redeem."

"The Falcon fighter jet is much more expensive, requiring 5000 million merit points!"

"5000 million merit points?"

Lin Qi was secretly shocked; this required far too many merit points.

You can't buy them without hunting dozens or even hundreds of level-eight calamity beasts.

Pei Hongfeng continued:

"Most martial artists can only rent the Peregrine Falcon fighter jet, which is much cheaper with merit points."

"Only martial artists at the ninth realm can afford to exchange for the Falcon fighter jet!"

At this moment, the silver-armored Mountain and River King also spoke:

"This time, there will be 10 people going to Ruins No. 9 together. They are located in the capital, Shanghai, and the Otherworld Sky Base."

"It won't take too long!"

Lin Qi suddenly thought of Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing, who were also at the peak of the seventh realm. He wondered if they had broken through or if they were going to go to Ruins No. 9 together.

……

Fifteen minutes later, in Xintiandi, a wealthy area of ​​Shanghai.

In front of a luxurious villa

The Falcon fighter jet came to a stop, the cabin door opened, and two figures walked away.

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for quite a while!"

The handsome man in golden armor at the front, carrying a silver staff, grinned. His features were sharp and distinct, exuding a free and unrestrained air.

As soon as he appeared, Lin Qi looked over and could clearly feel the arrogant attitude emanating from him.

The other party was Sun Sheng, the former number one genius of Xia Kingdom.

Sun Sheng also saw Lin Qi, a smile appeared on his lips, and he stepped forward, extending his hand:
"Lin Qi, hello, I'm Sun Sheng!"

Seeing this, Lin Qi also reached out and shook hands with him.

"boom!"

The moment their hands clasped, Lin Qi felt an immense force emanating from Sun Sheng's palms.

interesting?

Is it a contest of strength?
Seeing this, Lin Qi also exerted his strength.

In an instant, an overbearing aura emanated from him.

The two men wrestled, creating a strong gust of wind.

The people in the cabin also looked over curiously.

When King Shanhe saw this, the corners of his mouth turned up.
