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

Chapter 549: Number One on the Overall Ranking, Amazing Reward! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At the same time, many geniuses also saw the new ranking of the blue stars.

They have a lot of free time every day and like to check the rankings, watching the three geniuses' times keep improving.

Especially the martial artists of the Xia Kingdom, they have a unique sense of nurturing!

"Li Tianxing and Sun Sheng have surpassed Lin Qi!"

"However, even though they are all so strong, they still couldn't get past the fourth level of the Starfire Tower."

"It seems that there are no geniuses on our Blue Star who can pass the fourth level."

"Perhaps only when more geniuses emerge in the future will it be possible for someone to pass the fourth level."

People looked at the rankings and shared their opinions.

……

On the fourth floor of the Starfire Tower, the trial officially began with the announcement from the torchbearer.

"Boohoo!!"

A strong wind howled, and without even looking, Lin Qi could already feel ten silver throwing knives shooting towards him at five times the speed of sound.

They wanted to kill him from a tricky angle.

"call!!"

The four warriors—the red-armored swordsman, the blue-armored swordsman, the gold-armored spearman, and the giant axe-wielder—also attacked from four directions simultaneously.

Different artistic concepts and powers erupted from them.

Crimson Flame Blade Qi, Flowing Water Sword Qi, Golden Edge Spear Qi, and Heavy Earth Axe Qi followed closely behind the flying knife.

A murderous aura instantly enveloped Lin Qi.

"Buzz!!"

In an instant, Lin Qi's entire body erupted with golden light, and the golden patterns in his eyes transformed into [Golden Eyes].

The world before my eyes became clearer.

A golden field emanated from his body and spread outwards.

Invisible blades were cutting through the air; the speed of the throwing knife slowed down instantly the moment it entered the area.

The impact force is drastically reduced from five times the speed of sound to four times the speed of sound, but the speed is still very fast.

In Lin Qi's eyes, the slower the throwing knife was, the more space he could dodge.

Not only the flying knives, but the four opponents who attacked were also enveloped by the power of the domain, and they released their intent power to fight against the domain.

They were all suppressed to varying degrees!
In an instant, the power of the domain was applied to Lin Qi.

"call out!!"

His figure moved suddenly, disappearing from the spot like a golden lightning bolt, leaving behind several afterimages.

The speed is unbelievable!

Lin Qi's golden eyes darted around, and with a slight twist of his head, he instantly dodged the flying knife attack.

"Whoa!"

He spread his body out and dodged the flying knives one after another. With his fifth-level movement technique, he easily avoided the attacks of the flying knives.

At the same time, he brandished his spear, which shimmered with golden light, unleashing the "World-Destroying Spear Manual".

"Clang!"

The throwing knife was deflected, sparking a shower of sparks, and the impact of 30 kilograms momentarily slowed his speed.

"call!"

In the next instant, blade energy, sword energy, spear energy, and axe energy all attacked simultaneously.

Lin Qi once again used his movement technique, and with the support of his domain, he moved like lightning, darting and shifting through the arena.

"Oh!"

Those who cannot dodge will raise their black and gold spears to resist.

Everything around him was within his sight, and he anticipated all attacks.

The swordsman's rapier on the left.

The giant axe-wielder in the middle launched a fierce attack!

If I back away, the gunman will leap high into the air and launch a sneak attack.

The swordsman unleashed his sword energy from the side!
It was as if Lynch had installed surveillance cameras, giving him complete insight into the situation in the entire arena.

However, even if you know this, you can only increase the probability of avoiding it.

To kill them, we'll have to rely on Jueding's combat power.

Because their attack was relentless, giving Lynch no chance to retaliate.

"call!"

Lin Qi's gaze sharpened, and an invisible aura emanated from him.

Faced with the attack, he burst forth from the spot, unleashing a brand-new spear technique, his powerful energy surging and converging at a single point.

With his special ability [Golden Light] brought to its fullest potential, Lin Qi became light and agile, merging with the large gun in his hand.

Faced with the swordsman's thrust, he thrust out his spear like a golden lightning bolt.

The body's cells are in intense motion, and the vital energy is mobilized, like strands of silk spiraling in motion.

"boom!"

A sonic boom erupted in the air, creating a powerful sound wave.

In an instant, Lin Qi's spear reached a speed exceeding four times the speed of sound!
His movements were as if they were at double speed, making him significantly faster than the swordsman out of thin air.

"Puff~"

The golden spear tip pierced precisely through the protective energy, easily penetrating the swordsman's neck.

The spear tip pierced through, and countless golden threads of energy penetrated the body!
Then he drew his gun and plunged it into the neck of the giant axe-wielder, piercing through two opponents in succession!
Two golden strikes in quick succession!
In an instant, the giant axe-wielder and the blue-armored swordsman died, vanishing into nothingness.

Two opponents were already killed within five seconds of the start of the match.

Only the red-armored swordsman, the golden-armored spearman, and the mentalist remained in the entire arena.

"laugh!"

In an instant, the golden-armored gunman thrust his spear again, striking out at a speed exceeding three times the speed of sound.

Lin Qi swung his gun to block, his body falling backward.

He recognized that the golden-armored gunslinger also knew combo techniques.

The gun technique manuals were advanced, but Lin Qi had now mastered the "World-Destroying Gun Manual".

This five-star secret manual is the most advanced of the Spark Civilization.

After reading "The Golden Scroll," his perspective broadened, and he was able to see how the gunman used his gun skills.

It's not particularly sophisticated; it's probably only at the level of a three-star product!
"Clang clang clang!!"

Lin Qi easily blocked the golden-armored gunman, unleashing his power instantly without needing to charge up, or rather, after changing his method of power generation, his attack speed increased significantly.

Golden Triple Strike!
"Clang clang clang!!"

He fired three shots in quick succession, the tips of the guns piercing the armor on his chest with terrifying penetrating power.

The eighth-tier battle armor had three holes appear in succession.

The armor was also pierced by the terrifying penetrating power!
The golden-armored gunman was driven back.

Lin Qi had no time to rest. He turned around and began to use his marksmanship, each shot aimed at the weak point of the throwing knife.

Five-hit combo of golden light!
"Clang clang clang!!"

The five throwing knives were struck at a weak point, instantly creating cracks and shattering into a large piece.

Under the extreme penetration of the "Golden Light Scroll," the destructive power reaches an extremely terrifying level.

When Lin Qi saw it, his eyes lit up. Impressive!

Is this the correct way to use the Golden Emperor's罡劲 (Golden Emperor's罡劲)?
The opponent's throwing knife was also made of eighth-grade material, and was exceptionally sharp, yet it was shattered.

There aren't many exaggerated features, but the penetrating power has been greatly enhanced.

The speed of the broken throwing knife didn't change much, but Lynch promised to do it again.

He would be able to completely shatter the throwing knife.

"call!!"

The red-armored swordsman unleashed his Crimson Flame Blade Qi.

Lin Qi dodged and weaved across the arena with the agility of a golden lightning bolt.

He then anticipated the swordsman's attack as he charged forward.

At the same time, the golden-armored gunman's attack came from the side!
Lin Qi's cultivation intensified, and he thrust out with his spear once more.

"Tsk tsk tsk!!!"

Golden Light Six-Hit Combo!
“Ding ding!!”

In an instant, he engaged both men simultaneously, piercing their armor the moment their weapons clashed.

Blood rush!

The red-armored swordsman retreated, and Lin Qi chased after him, delivering a finishing shot that pierced through the neck with a golden thread!

"Pfft!"

Then came the golden-armored gunman, who too had his neck pierced!

Buzz!

In an instant, more than a dozen golden threads appeared on the arena, like sharp blades.

That was because Lin Qi's attack speed was too fast, and the Golden Emperor's Qi had not completely dissipated, still retaining a terrifying sharpness.

It can easily cut steel!
In a single second, Lin Qi killed two opponents!

The red-armored swordsman and the golden-armored spearman vanished into nothingness.

The mentalist was the only one left in the entire arena.

Fast, too fast!
Lin Qi felt exhilarated. After switching to a suitable marksmanship manual, his combat power increased dramatically.

The five-star secret manual, "World-Destroying Spear Manual," now seems to be far superior to "Mountain and River Spear Technique"!
This is the power of the inheritance of top-level civilizations.

"Boohoo!!"

At the same time, the flying knives struck again, forcing the mentalist watching from afar to launch an attack as well.

Lin Qi wielded the spear with ease, channeling his inner energy, and thrust it out suddenly.

"Clang clang clang!!!"

He unleashed a six-hit combo in an instant!
He shattered the surrounding throwing knives; five knives were hit and instantly disintegrated, scattering into fragments.

At the same time, Lin Qi transformed into a black lightning bolt, bursting out from the spot and rushing towards the last mentalist.

Without throwing knives, mentalists are nothing to fear.

Slow, too slow!
In Lynch's eyes, the mentalist's movements were too slow.

He instantly thrust out his black and gold spear, the tip of which shimmered with golden light, shooting out in a straight line like a golden laser.

"Pfft~"

The spear tip pierced the mentalist's neck with pinpoint accuracy, blood splattered out, and the opponent vanished into nothingness as he flew backward.

“Ding ding!!”

The out-of-control silver throwing knife stopped abruptly and fell to the ground.

The arena floor was now littered with fragments of throwing knives. "Whoosh!"

"Zheng——!"

Lin Qi holstered his gun and exhaled.

The gun trembled, producing an echo.

It was so easy! After 25 days, he challenged the Starfire Tower again and passed it so easily.

[Lin Qi, congratulations on successfully passing the fourth level of the Starfire Tower. Time taken for this test: 20 seconds!]

Name: Lin Qi (Blue Star Civilization)

[Realm: Blood Transformation Realm]

[Number of floors in the Starfire Tower: 4]

[Blue Star Ranking: 3→1]

Overall Ranking: 5 → 1

……

Meanwhile, the red-clad Xin Huo, who was watching Lin Qi's battle from a distance, widened his eyes and his expression changed drastically.

"Passed?"

"It passed in just 20 seconds?"

It was unbelievable how easily Lin Qi passed the fourth level of the Starfire Tower.

He mastered it without even using any minor supernatural powers.

It's unbelievable!

What kind of talent is this?
The red-clad figure, impatient to emerge, looked at Lin Qi with a complex expression and said:
"Lin Qi, congratulations on passing the fourth level!"

"To be honest, your talent is even greater than I imagined!"

Lin Qi laughed and said, "Thanks to the 'World-Destroying Gun Manual' you taught me, otherwise it would have been even more difficult to pass through the Starfire Tower."

Xin Huo began to speak:

"I originally just thought the three of you had good talent, and it would be a real shame if you couldn't get past the fourth level."

"That's why I prepared the secret manual for you in advance!"

"As a result, I didn't expect your combat power to have improved so much. You actually passed the fourth level of the test in just 20 seconds."

"They were a full 50 seconds faster than the number one player on the overall leaderboard!"

"There's definitely something wrong with your Blue Star civilization!"

"Besides the Crimson Emperor, there's actually a monster genius like you."

"If you were in our Starfire Civilization, you would immediately be accepted as a disciple by a top expert in the third realm of the universe."

"Actually, your Blue Star is at a disadvantage when facing the geniuses on the overall rankings."

"Because many geniuses have mastered top-tier secret techniques beforehand before coming to challenge the tower!"

"But you still outshone these geniuses."

Xin Huo sighed, while Lin Qi gleaned a lot of crucial information.

Then Xinhuo spoke seriously:

"Lin Qi, you have become number one on the overall leaderboard by passing the fourth level of the Starfire Tower."

"On this Trial Planet 06, he ranks first among 101 million geniuses."

"Of all the rewards, I will give you the five best ones through calculation."

"Three of the rewards are designated rewards, and you can choose two of them yourself."

Lin Qi's eyes lit up; he was finally going to get a reward, and five of them at that.

This is completely beyond my expectations!
The flickering flame projected a thick layer of golden secret manual—the "World-Destroying Gun Codex."

"You've already enjoyed the first reward: the complete 'World-Destroying Gun Manual,' which includes the 'Golden Edge Scroll,' 'Golden Light Scroll,' and 'Diamond Scroll.'"

"It's enough for you to cultivate to the sixth level. If you want to obtain the second volume of the 'World-Destroying Spear Manual,' you must participate in the Refining Aperture Realm test!"

Lin Qi nodded secretly upon hearing this.

Ruins No. 9 is a treasure trove; it contains so many precious items.

For a genius like him, it's like a supermarket; he just comes here to buy whatever he needs.

He had already felt the power of the "World-Destroying Gun Manual".

Once he breaks through to the eighth realm, coupled with this spear technique manual, ordinary eighth-realm martial artists are no match for him at all.

The torch projected another silver bracelet, only one millimeter thick, covered with patterns.

"This is space equipment!"

"The storage space created using space compression technology can be used to store personal items such as weapons and cultivation resources!"

"There's 1000 cubic meters of space inside!"

Lin Qi's eyes lit up when he saw it, and the image of a spatial device from a novel in his previous life flashed into his mind—a spatial ring!
And this space is already quite large, equivalent to a cube with a length, width, and height of 10 meters each.

It's already big enough to hold the corpses of the calamity beasts.

The torch continued to speak:

"If you want equipment with more space, you have to pass the test of the Qi Refining Realm."

"I remember your Blue Star, the top genius you call the Crimson Emperor, who obtained a spatial device with a length, width and height of 500 meters."

Lin Qi was shocked. With such equipment, it could be used to store the corpses of level 10 calamity beasts.

Its value is immeasurable!
"The third reward is a defense robot—Silver Guardian!"

"Your intelligent life form has been fitted with the body of a Silver Guardian."

"However, your Silver Guardian was excavated from other ruins, so its combat strength is limited."

"They are second-class Silver Guards, only able to hold off a Sky-Soaring Realm warrior for a moment, which is equivalent to your ninth-realm titled warrior."

"But the Silver Guardian I'm rewarding you with not only stronger defensive capabilities, but also defenses that ordinary Sky Realm cultivators can no longer break through."

"It also has a certain combat capability."

"That's equivalent to a ninth-realm martial artist!"

Lin Qi's breathing became heavier; this was equivalent to having a ninth-realm martial artist as his bodyguard!

This is too valuable, priceless, no amount of merit points could buy it.

The three rewards currently available are: "The Cataclysmic Gun Codex", spatial equipment, and the Silver Guardian.

Each item was too valuable, and then there were two more rewards.

The torch continued to speak:

"You still have two rewards to choose from!"

"Whether it's secret manuals, potions, or equipment, we've got you covered!"

Lin Qi fell into deep thought: He had no shortage of cultivation techniques and secret manuals, as well as spatial equipment and the Silver Guardian.

Aside from cultivation resources to increase his Qi and Blood value, he seemed to lack nothing.

He then spoke:

"Spark, do you have any suggestions?"

The man in red laughed and said, "You're too ignorant; you haven't seen many good things!"

"To be honest, I don't have any good advice. You'll have to make your own choice. At most, I can explain the effects of the items!"

She switched the panel she projected, displaying a large number of manuals and potion resources.

Lin Qi immediately looked over.

[Soul Elixir: Greatly increases mental strength!]

[Blood Ganoderma: One blood transfusion with no side effects]

Dragon Blood Potion: Greatly enhances physical strength!

[Bloodline Evolution Potion: Unleashes latent bloodline genes, enhancing physical cultivation talent!]

[Cleansing the Marrow: Greatly enhances a martial artist's comprehension!]

【…】

Lin Qi looked at the densely packed array of medicinal resources and secret manuals projected on the screen; there were hundreds of them.

I even saw many familiar resources, such as Ganoderma lucidum.

This is a top-tier resource. If he gets it and consumes it, he can immediately break through to the eighth realm.

Xin Huo said, "There are more resources here to enhance your physical strength and mental strength after you break through to the Qi Refining Realm."

"There are also potions that can enhance cultivation talent and comprehension."

"Even with your current talent, the effect may be small, but it is still an improvement."

Lin Qi's gaze fell on the Bloodline Evolution Potion.

Upon seeing this, Xin Huo explained:

"Bloodline evolution potions are extremely precious to you; they can be considered the most expensive resource."

"In the universe, the strength of every powerful civilization is the strength of the whole, and the talents of each member of the race are not weak."

"Some advanced civilizations in the universe have created potions using the bloodline genes of their own civilization that can stimulate the potential of their bloodline."

"It can greatly enhance physical talent, and with a bit of luck, there might be a chance to awaken another special ability."

Lin Qi was shocked. There was such a potion?
To be honest, he was very tempted; the effect was much better than the Awakening Fruit.

He continued reading and soon found another target.

[Secret Technique: Blood Burning]

[Effect: Stimulates physical potential, burns vital energy, and temporarily enhances physical skills; side effect: physical weakness.]

……

Lin Qi's eyes lit up. This was similar to the "Minor Supernatural Power," both of which greatly enhanced physical potential.

Now that it's become a secret technique, wouldn't everyone be able to learn it?

Seeing this, Xin Huo also explained from the side:
He spoke again, saying, "Your Blue Star civilization is very unique; minor supernatural powers are rarely seen in other civilizations!"

"Only a few exceptionally talented individuals can learn it; there aren't as many as you on Earth!"

"However, we have a secret technique that many geniuses have been able to learn!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Qi was already calculating the value of this secret technique.

Its value is immeasurable; if more geniuses master it, the number of warriors who sacrifice themselves on the battlefield will decrease.

With this in mind, Lin Qi made a decision.

Suddenly, Xin Huo spoke up again: "I suddenly remembered."

"Your Blue Star civilization has a very crude grasp of mental power."

"The Refining Acupoint Realm requires more precise control over mental energy. You'd better exchange for a method of mental control!"

"For example, this book, 'The Thousand Threads of Divine Thoughts,' would be perfect for you."

After reading the introduction to Xin Huo, Lin Qi was extremely envious, but then he became troubled.

Looking at it this way, two rewards really are too few!
He wanted everything on the screen.
