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

Chapter 552 Ten Million Merit Points (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
King Shanhe stood up, looked at the ink painting on the wall, and said:

"After we came into contact with Ruins No. 9, we learned about the myriad races of the universe and about the human race from the Fire Civilization."

"But at that time, our Earth civilization was too weak. It would be too dangerous to make contact rashly. We dared not gamble."

"Although there are laws of the universe, no one dares to gamble, because one wrong move and they could be swallowed up by other civilizations."

"So we have never made contact with the universe, but have been quietly accumulating strength."

"If we continue to develop for several hundred more years, our Blue Star civilization will have more martial artists at the second level of the universe, and perhaps we can try to make contact with them."

"But now, with the Zerg crisis, we have no choice but to make contact with the universe ahead of schedule."

Lin Qi nodded; there was really no other way.

The other world contains the ruins of the Starfire civilization, as well as a constant stream of calamity beasts, source energy, and rare and precious materials.

Once they digest the entire other world, the martial arts strength of their Blue Star civilization wouldn't be considered weak even among elementary civilizations.

We will have more confidence when we engage with the universe again.

Lin Qi sighed inwardly, noting that their planet Blue Star was currently at peace on the surface.

However, it cannot withstand the storms; if the Zerg arrive, the entire Blue Star civilization may be destroyed.

The only way is to try to make contact with the universe, accelerate development, and gain greater strength.

They even used the power of the extraterrestrial human race to protect the entire civilization.

During this time, he talked a lot with Xin Huo and learned that the laws of the entire human race are very comprehensive on the surface.

We will do our best to protect every civilization.

"huhu"

The cabin door opened, and gusts of cold wind blew in, along with snowflakes.

King Shanhe said with a resolute expression:

"The Crimson Emperor has entered the cosmic virtual network and begun to make contact with other civilizations in the universe."

"And we need to become stronger!"

"Lin Qi, you are a top genius in our Xia Kingdom, hurry up and become stronger!"

"Buzz!!"

After saying that, he floated up, and a large silver spear appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He rushed out and descended into the battlefield.

"boom!!"

After hearing this, Lin Qi's expression also became firm.

He definitely needs to become stronger; he's gradually becoming one of the "tallest" figures on Earth.

If the sky falls, he'll be the one to hold it up!

"Hoohoo!!"

"Buzz!"

The black and gold spear appeared out of thin air in his hand as he looked at the spatial gate that had opened in the distance.

Snow was falling heavily from the sky, and countless monstrous beasts rushed out from the spatial gate.

He looked down at the earth, two hundred meters in the air!
Then he suddenly leaped down!

"Bang!!"

He brandished his spear, condensing thirty spear beams, and shot them at the calamity beast!
When facing human powerhouses of the same level, one needs to compress one's internal energy to increase its penetrating and destructive power.

However, this is not necessary when facing monstrous beasts.

"Oh!"

"puff!"

With a deafening roar, the earth trembled, sending up large amounts of snow and gravel, along with the howls of monstrous beasts.

Beneath Lin Qi's feet lay a level-five calamity beast, the Cracked Claw Ape, its body embedded deep within him, its bones shattered.

Lynch finished it off with a shot, ending its life.

"Whoosh!"

In the next instant, Lin Qi swung his spear, unleashing a terrifying doomsday domain from his body.

The World-Destroying Spear Technique is unleashed!

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, he transformed into a black lightning bolt and charged out, unleashing a continuous stream of powerful energy.

The Golden Emperor's Qi condensed on the spear, slicing through the sky like strands of golden silk.

"Puff!!"

One after another, the monstrous beasts were pierced through the neck by the spear in an instant. Their tough skin was as thin as paper under the spear, and the spear pierced through the muscle with a single thrust.

Blood spurted out, and the massive body crashed to the ground.

The hunting efficiency is much higher!

Lin Qi's lips curled up. After sparring with the top experts of the Starfire Tower, his combat power had increased significantly without him even realizing it.

Faster reaction time, more agile and quick movements, and stronger marksmanship!

It can penetrate the defenses of the calamity beast more easily!
He stared at the spatial gate. The low-level calamity beasts were too weak; he needed to find stronger ones!
He soon discovered level seven or even level eight calamity beasts.

"Whoosh~"

The next instant, his body disappeared.

"It's Lin Qi. Why did he suddenly return to the Black Dragon Base?"

One of the martial artists spoke up, and the rest of the team also showed expressions of doubt.

……

In one corner, everything was covered in snow.

"Boooooooh!!"

Amidst the endless snowflakes, ten silver throwing knives danced in the air like streaks of light, weaving through the air.

It emitted a sonic boom and instantly pierced through the bodies of several Ironspine War Bears.

Wearing silver armor and sporting large earlobes, Dean Liu wielded throwing knives to kill one calamity beast after another.

He frowned: "With the Spring Festival approaching, many martial artists choose to return to their families to celebrate the holiday."

"With fewer martial artists, our pressure has increased."

"The only advantage is that you gain 10% merit points for each calamity beast you kill."

"It encouraged many low-level martial artists to stay."

"roar~"

"Boom!"

The next instant, the earth shook violently, snow splattered wildly, and a giant bird, its wings blotting out the sky, flapped its massive wings.

It was a giant bird with a molten lava pattern on its body, which was hot all over.

Level 8 Calamity Beast - Lava Sparrow!

It radiated terrifying heat, with waves of heat hitting you in the face.

The snow melted instantly before it even got close.

Seeing this, Dean Liu skillfully controlled the throwing knife, launching it at three times the speed of sound.
It shot into the Lava Sparrow.

“Ding ding!!”

Faced with the attack of the throwing knives, the Lava Sparrow suffered several cuts, but none of them penetrated.

Dean Liu frowned. Although he was an eighth-level martial artist, he was at the very bottom.

It is extremely difficult to kill an eighth-level calamity beast alone.

"roar~"

At the same time, a huge figure suddenly darted out, and the terrifying aura made Dean Liu tremble all over.

Turning my head, I saw a giant tiger with golden fur all over its body, a huge body, and bulging muscles in its limbs.

Level 8 Calamity Beast - Golden Tiger!

"Damn it!"

The enormous tiger claw slammed down, its speed exceeding the speed of sound and its explosive power astonishing, creating a whirlwind.

Dean Liu had a premonition that if that claw struck, he would be severely injured.

"court death!"

"boom!!"

In the distance, a whooshing sound rang out, and a golden thread appeared in Dean Liu's sight.

He saw a golden gun slicing through the air!
Golden threads pierced through the tiger's claws in an instant!
Those threads seemed to represent ultimate sharpness and penetrating power.

"roar~"

Blood spurted wildly, scalding hot blood spilling into the air.

In that instant, Dean Liu felt that if the stab were to be aimed at him, he would have no chance of dodging it.

"roar~"

The Golden Tiger roared in fury as a gaping hole was pierced through its forelimb!

The next instant, a golden light pierced the sky and penetrated its skin, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

"Puff puff puff~~"

Countless golden rays shone down.

Golden Light Six-Hit Combo!
Lin Qi thrust out his spear in an instant, catching Jin Ganghu completely off guard.

Six bloody holes were pierced through its neck, and golden threads pierced straight through it, while countless threads were also destroying other tissues.

"Bang!!"

The massive body of the Golden Tiger crashed to the ground, splattering a large amount of blood!

Jin Ganghu is dead!

Lin Qi landed on Jin Ganghu's head, smiled, and greeted him:
"President Liu, long time no see!"

Dean Liu stared wide-eyed at Lin Qi in front of him.

Did they kill the level 8 calamity beast, Golden Tiger, so easily?

This is no ordinary level eight calamity beast, but a Golden Tiger, which is among the top level eight calamity beasts.

Only a powerful eighth-realm martial artist could easily kill him single-handedly.

But Lin Qi is already capable of doing it now!

The opponent's marksmanship is terrifying. If it were him, he felt he wouldn't be able to withstand even one hit.

Has he already broken through to the eighth realm?
He smiled and said, "Lin Qi, it really has been a long time."

"Have you broken through to the eighth realm?"

Lin Qi shook his head and said, "No, still at the seventh realm!"

"Sigh~"

Dean Liu gasped. Seventh Realm? That's too strong!

"careful!"

Lin Qi suddenly shouted a warning, and then a huge, all-encompassing figure appeared in the sky, enveloping the two of them.

The fierce wind, sharp as a blade, ravaged their skin.

Waves of heat hit me in the face!
"Wow~"

It was an eighth-level calamity beast, the Lava Sparrow. In an instant, Dean Liu noticed that Lin Qi's figure had disappeared, turning into an afterimage.

too fast!
He could only perceive Lynch's movements by relying on his powerful mental strength.

All that could be seen was a golden domain spreading out and enveloping the Lava Sparrow, with golden light filling the air like sharp blades constantly cutting through it.

"Puff puff puff~~"

"bang"

Finally, with a loud bang, Lava Sparrow's body crashed to the ground, and it died.

Mu Hong, who had just arrived in black armor and was holding a gun in one hand, also saw this scene and fell silent.

"Teacher, long time no see!"

Lynch stepped onto the corpse of the Lava Sparrow and greeted it. In the 50 days since they last met, Lynch had become even stronger!
Mu Hong had no doubt that Lin Qi was capable of easily killing him.

Thinking of this, Mu Hong smiled slightly and said:

"Lynch, you've become even stronger."

Lin Qi smiled too, gripping the spear in his hand tightly; he had sensed it as well.

After mastering the "World-Destroying Spear Manual," his combat power increased dramatically.

Now, he can easily hunt down even level eight calamity beasts.

However, he thought it was normal. Once an eighth-level calamity beast, it was an invincible creature to him.

It is extremely difficult for martial artists of the same level to hunt it down.

But now he realizes that the calamity beasts were nothing more than cannon fodder created by the demon race.

Even at a higher level, that's all there is to it. If the opponent is a demon beast of the same realm, it might pose a slight threat to him.

Mu Hong looked at the countless calamity beasts around him and said:

"Now is not the time for reminiscing. Let's talk about it after the monster tide is over!"

Lin Qi nodded and continued his attack on the other calamity beasts.

Wielding his spear like a black lightning bolt, surrounded by golden threads, no calamity beast could withstand a single strike from him.

When the golden light strikes, a calamity beast will crash to the ground, its blood flowing onto the white snow.

"Roar!!"

"Pfft~"

……

The match lasted until the evening.

Inside the Black Dragon Base, at the Beast Restaurant, in the most luxurious private room.

At this moment, Shen Heng, Dean Liu, Xu Qing, Mu Hong, Pei Yiqing, Shanhe Wang, Beijiang Jian Wang and other acquaintances were sitting in the private room.

The entire table was filled with food cooked from the flesh and blood of level nine calamity beasts.

Dean Liu took a sip of his drink and sighed:
"Lin Qi, your strength has increased by an absurd amount since you went to Ruins No. 9."

"I thought you had broken through to the eighth realm."

The Northern River Sword King spoke:

"Spending 50 days in Ruins No. 9 will greatly enhance your combat capabilities."

Lynch's mouth never stopped. He hadn't eaten for 50 consecutive days at Ruins No. 9, and he missed food terribly.

He said, "The main reason my combat strength has improved is because of the secret manual for marksmanship."

Xu Qin also showed an envious look: "It seems that I will also try to enter Ruins No. 9 in a few months."

She is an SSS-level genius and has already undergone five blood transfusions. After the sixth blood transfusion, he will be able to attempt to enter Ruins No. 9.

After a brief discussion, the group decided to return home in the next few days to celebrate the Spring Festival before coming back.

Shen Heng looked at Lin Qi with a complicated expression.

The other party was the focus of everyone's attention; everyone knew that Lin Qi's future was to become a top expert in the Xia Kingdom.

Although both are SSS-level geniuses, the gap between them is as vast as an chasm, making them completely incomparable.

Perhaps in the future, even SSS-level geniuses will only be able to meet Lin Qi.

……

An hour later, Lynch returned to his room 206.

Inside the martial arts room, he took off his armor, changed into martial arts clothes, and sat cross-legged to open the House of War.

[Name: Lin Qi (Heilong Base)]

[Realm: Seventh Realm Blood Transformation]

[Merit Points: 959.9 million]

[Base Ranking: 1]

Overall Ranking: 3 → 1

……

Lin Qi smiled as he looked at his merit points. He had spent a total of 300 million merit points to exchange for the Blood of the Thunder Prison Lion.

With nearly 400 million merit points remaining, I hunted another disaster beast today and earned an astonishing 560 million merit points.

He has already earned many times more than many eighth-realm martial artists.

"If we keep hunting like this, we won't be far from buying the Peregrine fighter jet."

Lin Qi thought to himself that once he broke through to the eighth realm, his hunting efficiency would be even higher.

"Unfortunately, I have to go back to Tianhai City tomorrow."

"Purchase a batch of resources and take them back."

Lin Qi thought to himself.

I opened the shopping app and started searching for resources on cultivating mental power.

Now that he has more merit points, he can buy better mental potions.

The premium Soul Water may already be obsolete, since it only costs 5 merit points per vial.

Soon the screen in front of him refreshed, and a potion appeared.

[Item: Soul Essence (10% Purity)]

[Effect: This potion, made from precious natural materials and organs of a level-nine calamity beast, can greatly enhance mental power. The higher the purity, the stronger the effect.]

[Merit Points: 50 per tube]

……

Soul Essence is considered the most powerful potion for enhancing spiritual power on their planet Blue Star.

One bottle costs 50 merit points.

Merit points are 10 times more valuable than premium soul water!
Lin Qi exhaled. Hunting down a Golden Tiger only earned him 90 merit points.

That's almost equivalent to the merit points of an eighth-level calamity beast.

It has to be said that top-tier cultivation resources require a really large number of merit points.

Purity of 10 is also a unit of measurement. He glanced at the Soul Essence with 20% purity, which had doubled in price and required 100 million merit points.

Lynch doesn't need to use 20% purity now; 10% is enough.

Without hesitation, he placed an order for 10 bottles.

Then they started ordering 5000 kilograms of flesh and blood from level nine calamity beasts.

【drop! 】

[Verification successful, 550 million merit points have been paid!]

Lin Qi put down his phone and could now wait for the goods to be delivered to his door tomorrow.

He now has a spatial bracelet, enough to hold the flesh and blood of these calamity beasts.

Moreover, the space in the bracelet is sealed, and its preservation effect is much better than that of a freezer, so you don't have to worry about it spoiling, and you can also carry it with you.

Then he sat cross-legged and remembered the soul essence he had purchased.

For martial artists, mental strength is extremely important; each advancement in their realm requires the assistance of mental strength.

When you break through to the eighth realm, you will need even stronger mental power.

Then he looked at the corner where eight barrels of Thunder Prison Lion Blood were placed.

"Buzz!!"

He put the seven buckets back into his spatial bracelet, leaving one bucket behind.

For him, the spatial bracelet was the safest option; leaving it in the martial arts room was never safe.

Open a bucket, pick up a straw, and start absorbing.

"Gulu~"

It had been a long time since he had drunk it, and it was still awful. Lin Qi frowned and drank it all in one gulp.

A ton of food will enter the stomach, and then the body will start to heat up, feeling as if it is on fire, and the internal organs will feel as if they are being burned in a raging fire.

He sat cross-legged and began to absorb the essence of the blood from the "Golden Emperor's Secret Manual" by circulating the Blood Exchange Chapter.

"hiss"

The intense pain caused Lynch to gasp for breath repeatedly, his body turning red and his face flushed.

His pores were like faucets, constantly releasing sweat, which slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

The temperature in the entire martial arts room rose rapidly.

At the same time, the body absorbs the essence of the blood and begins to transform, constantly becoming stronger.

"Dong Dong!!"

His heart pounded faster, his blood pumped faster, and his internal energy was activated.

It flushes out toxins hidden in the blood, which are influencing the body's transformation.

Body cells need to live in a pure and unblemished body.

Lin Qi endured the pain and felt his body undergoing a transformation.

What he needs to do next is to break through to the eighth realm.

He then awakened a third special ability.

At that time, he might be able to fight against a level nine calamity beast.

……

Two hours later

The martial arts room was filled with steam, and gusts of cold wind dispersed the white vapor.

Lynch, who was sitting cross-legged, began to see his reddened skin return to its normal color.

The tearing pain began to dissipate, and only a continuous flow of power surged from within.

"boom!!"

The blood and qi flowed as thickly as mercury, and the powerful physical strength brought a terrifying sense of oppression, while an invisible aura also spread out.

[You have consumed one ton of Thunder Prison Lion blood, resulting in a physical transformation, a significant increase in physical attributes, and a +100 increase in health and vitality.]

[Qi and Blood Value: 9650 → 9750]

……

Lin Qi slowly stood up, feeling the improvement in his physical body, and exhaled.

This feeling is too strong.

He is now only 250 points away from his ninth blood transfusion.

The remaining 7 barrels of Thunder Prison Lion Blood are enough!
"The only drawback is that it can cause some damage to internal organs, and you need to rest for a day or two before you can continue taking it."

Lin Qi felt the damage to his internal organs; the effects of the Thunder Prison Lion's Blood were overwhelming.

Other geniuses don't have such high-quality internal organs, so they couldn't possibly consume them like this.

He then took out a black-gold spear from his spatial bracelet and began cultivating the "World-Destroying Spear Manual".

"Boohoo!!"

On the sharp tip of the spear, the internal energy is highly compressed, continuously increasing its density.

Finally, it coalesces like needle and thread, maximizing the penetrating power of the metal.

Simultaneously exerting force through exquisite techniques mobilizes cells and internal energy to achieve higher combos.

"The Golden Six-Strike Combo is my strongest move so far!"

"But that's not my limit. Once I reach a thirty-six-hit combo, I'll be able to master the killing move of the Golden Light Scroll—Instant Shadow Thousand Lights!"

"That's the ultimate speed!"

Lin Qi continued thrusting his spear, unleashing the Golden Light Six Forms.

As he felt the power of the new marksmanship, the power of the World Destruction Domain unknowingly expanded outwards, enveloping the entire martial arts room.

By fully immersing himself in cultivation, Lin Qi could also feel his own progress.
