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

Chapter 554 New Year and Cultivation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
After seeing Lin Qi sign the contract, Shanhe Wang immediately smiled.

He took the hot tea from Qin Yue, took a sip, and said:

"Lin Qi, the contract is officially in effect from this moment on. Now you can just sit back and wait to collect your money!"

"However, Lynch, the subsidies you received under the SSS-level contract will be cancelled."

"You don't need subsidies now; you're already able to earn more money and merit points."

"According to the contract, our martial arts hall and the Sky Martial Arts Tournament will stop your subsidies."

After listening, Lin Qi nodded and said, "I understand. I no longer need this money; it should be given to those who need it more."

He no longer cared much about the monthly subsidy of 1.8 million Xia Guo currency.

For him, money is just a string of numbers now.

The three then started chatting, with Qin Yue occasionally glancing at Lin Qi with curiosity.

Because she had been following Lin Qi for a long time and had watched him grow up.

In just a few years, he went from an ordinary genius to the number one genius on the entire planet.

Even the Crimson Emperor praised the other party's talent!

Such a genius has never appeared before; he is the only one.

No, there's another one named Jiang Tao, but he's not as good as Lin Qi now.

……

An hour later, King Shanhe left with Qin Yue.

"boom!!"

The Falcon fighter jet soared into the sky and returned to the capital.

Inside the cabin, Shanhe Wang watched as the Crimson Sky House uploaded three new inheritances.

He placed the order immediately, and the payment of 3.51 billion Xia Guo RMB was completed instantly!
Then he looked at Qin Yue and smiled:

"After the Spring Festival, our Xia Kingdom may have three more eighth-realm martial artists!"

Qin Yue asked doubtfully, "Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing have been cultivating for a long time, so it's normal for them to break through."

"Is Lin Qi about to break through as well?"

"Isn't it too early? After all, all geniuses eventually hit a bottleneck and need time to mature?"

King Shanhe shook his head and said, "Lin Qi is not short of money now; he can buy most cultivation resources."

"Breaking through to the eighth realm is quite normal."

Qin Yue nodded and said, "I understand. His kind of genius is beyond the realm of common sense!"

King Shanhe nodded, then remembered the Star Patrol Envoy's visit to Blue Star.

I just hope to give Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing more time to grow.

"But I don't know why, even though the Crimson Emperor is clearly capable of breaking through to the second realm of the universe, he hasn't done so yet. What is he waiting for?"

Another question arose in the mind of the Mountain and River King.

Perhaps the Crimson Emperor has his own plans, and it's normal that I'm too low-level to see through them.

……

The main building of Residence No. 5, inside the martial arts room.

"drop!"

"Master, 28.38 billion Xia Guo RMB has been deposited into your account!"

As soon as Lin Qi sat down, Xiao Chan next to him projected a screen onto the screen.

[Your ICBC bank card ending in xxx has received 28.38 billion Xia Guo RMB!]

[Your bank card ending in 4.08 million Xia Guo RMB has been deposited!]

Upon seeing this, Lin Qi gasped in shock.

32 billion Xia Guo RMB arrived in your account so quickly?!
He immediately opened the Crimson Sky House website and quickly found "World-Destroying Spear Manual," "Thousand Threads of Divine Sense," and "Burning Blood" in the cultivation technique module.

And its own backend system shows that two people have already made the purchase.

This reminded Lin Qi of Shanhe Wang and Qin Yue, who had purchased it with their own money.

This is just the beginning, and it's already reached 30 billion Xia Guo RMB.

He knew this was just the beginning!
The Xia Kingdom has several martial artists at the ninth level of spear mastery, and they will most likely choose to purchase it for reference.

As for "Divine Thoughts and Thousand Threads," it goes without saying that even the Blue Star doesn't have a good method for controlling the mind.

If someone is a genius, they will most likely buy it.

The most outrageous example that followed was "Burning Blood".

"I should also buy the second volume of 'Nine Lightning Flashes'!"

Lin Qi suddenly had an idea: he should directly search for "Nine Lightning Flashes of Thunder".

The screen refreshed quickly, and scrolling images appeared.

【"Thunderous Nine Flashes, Volume 2", Category: Movement Technique Manual, Rating: ★★★★★, Price: 12 billion Xia Kingdom Coins (No discounts, no installments), Note: Crimson Sky】

……

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief. The first volume was only worth 6000 million Xia Guo RMB, but the second volume was 20 times that amount.

The price seems expensive, but it's actually very cheap.

Those who can afford it are all those who have broken through to the eighth realm, given their income level.

12 billion is only 12 merit points.

Lynch saw that the rating was still five stars, if he remembered correctly.

This movement technique was created by the Overlord. Even if he didn't create it, it was simplified from the real "Nine Lightning Flashes".

The difference between the upper and lower volumes is huge!
With that in mind, Lin Qi placed the order.

【drop! 】

Fingerprint verification successful, payment successful!

[Mr. Lynch, your order of "Thunderous Nine Flashes, Volume 2" will be delivered to your door tomorrow, and the electronic file has arrived in your personal space!]

……

Lin Qi looked at the 12 billion Xia Guo RMB he had paid and felt as if he had spent a few million; he no longer felt anything.

"drop!"

[Your ICBC bank card ending in xxx has received 80 Xia Guo RMB!]

[Your ICBC bank card ending in xxx has received 80 Xia Guo RMB!]

After checking the backstage area, Lin Qi checked his phone and saw a large amount of information.

"what happened?"

He went to the Crimson Sky House homepage and found that the secret technique "Burning Blood" was already displayed on the homepage.

This is the most popular spot in the entire Crimson Dome House; anyone entering the Crimson Dome House can see it.

"Drip drip!!"

Soon Lin Qi began to vibrate wildly again.

Lin Qi had no choice but to switch to Do Not Disturb mode and enter the forum.

Sure enough, people were already discussing this, and the number of posts was increasing rapidly.

"Holy crap, am I seeing things?"

"My God, this is like a minor supernatural power, greatly enhancing physical abilities!"

"If I learn it, I'll participate in the National Freshman Competition and I estimate I can achieve a higher ranking."

"You idiot upstairs, if everyone can do it, then it's the same as not having learned it at all!"

"The greatest benefit of this manual is its application on the battlefield."

"Even ordinary low-level martial artists can learn this skill and improve their physical abilities out of thin air, enabling them to kill powerful monsters."

"Or perhaps escape from the monstrous beast!"

"This is a divine skill; the genius who created it has done immeasurable merit!"

"And it's only 100 million, but I have a discount, so you can buy it for only 80."

……

Lin Qi couldn't help but smile as he read the praise in the post.

That's good, now everyone can afford to buy "Burning Blood".

The probability of survival in war increases dramatically.

The overall strength of the Blue Star civilization can also be improved.

The only downside was that his phone kept receiving messages; in just a few minutes, he received 56 text messages.

This means that 56 people have already purchased it, and he has already earned more than 4000 million.

With that in mind, Lin Qi immediately turned off the bank card notifications.

Calm yourself down, open the Crimson Sky Home backend, find "Thunder Extreme Nine Flashes - Volume 2" and click to open it.

An electronic document was projected, and a large amount of text appeared.

Lynch quickly browsed through it.

As he watched and tried to understand, his expression quickly changed.

"Sure enough, it's the same as the 'Mountain and River Spear Technique'."

"The difference between the first and second volumes of this movement technique manual is too great!"

Lin Qi glanced through part of it and couldn't help but shake his head.

Like the "Mountain and River Spear Technique", it is a simplified version of the original manual.

The subtle techniques of power generation, footwork, and upward rotation are completely absent.

Or rather, the second volume is the complete "Nine Flashes of Thunder".

Lin Qi took another look; this movement technique was practiced by simulating lightning.

It is most compatible with the special ability of the Thunder attribute, [Lightning].

However, even though I haven't awakened this ability, I feel an unusual connection to it!

All I can say is that he has a special connection with lightning.

Lin Qi suspected that he might awaken abilities related to lightning in the future.

However, even without lightning, the presence of golden light is fine.

"When the Nine Lightning Flashes of Thunder reaches perfection, it will form nine phantoms, which can be formed by condensing internal energy."

"It's so realistic it's indistinguishable from the real thing!"

"Furthermore, in combat, by changing the way force is applied, one can mobilize internal energy and cellular power to accelerate in a very short time..."

Lin Qi's eyes lit up as he read the description of the cultivation technique.

This is definitely a five-star movement technique manual from the Spark Civilization; the way it generates power is simply too exquisite.

If he had learned the complete version of "Nine Lightning Flashes" while in Ruins No. 9, then...

It will be easier to get through the fourth floor of the Starfire Tower.

If we combine the "Nine Lightning Flashes of Thunder" and the "Golden Light Scroll" of the "World-Destroying Spear Manual".

His combat strength can be further improved.

This is the difference that comes with inheritance.

Even among geniuses of the same level, using the same martial arts techniques, different secret manuals can lead to huge differences in combat power.

Lin Qi slowly stood up and changed into his martial arts uniform.

"Whoosh~" In the next instant, his body began to move, like lightning, traversing a specific trajectory!

A series of strong winds swept through the entire martial arts room.

Following the instructions in the manual, Lin Qi changed his power exertion technique, mobilizing the muscles in his legs and causing even deeper cells to move violently.

"Hoohoo!!"

"Whoosh~"

The next instant, Lin Qi felt as if his body was electrified.

It became lighter, as if an invisible force was pulling it forward!

It's like running in winter, taking off your down jacket and sweater...

My body is becoming increasingly light and swift!
"Whoosh~~"

The next second, the golden metal stopped, and the body's cells were activated, becoming even faster due to high-speed friction.

[You have mastered the complete version of the movement technique manual "Nine Flashes of Thunder". Your power generation and footwork have been perfected, and your mastery of movement techniques has been greatly improved. Movement Technique +3%]

[Agility: Tier 5 05% → Tier 5 08%]

……

Lin Qi looked at the panel, a slight smile playing on his lips, quite pleased with his progress.

Such great progress after only a short period of training.

If you keep practicing, you'll improve even faster. It's true that a good manual can improve one's martial arts skills much faster!

Thinking of this, he checked the manual again.

The manual also includes a written annotation that explains some of the difficulties encountered in the movement techniques, as well as professional terminology.

Lin Qi felt he had benefited greatly from reading it; it was most likely Ba Wang's notes.

It must be said that the atmosphere in their Xia Kingdom is really good.

Top martial artists all possess their own vision and magnanimity, and they go to great lengths to help those who come after them become even stronger.

"Whoosh~"

He then immersed himself in practicing his movement techniques once again.

……

February 1st, 2049 in the Martial Arts Calendar, Lunar New Year's Eve.

The entire No. 5 mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and Spring Festival couplets were pasted up, filling the place with the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Lin Qi and his group did the same. After a quick cleaning, evening arrived before they knew it.

"call out!"

"Oh!"

Under the pitch-black night sky, dazzling fireworks exploded in the sky.

The Lin family sat on the balcony, facing the cold wind, watching the fireworks while also looking at their phones.

Looking up, I could clearly see the owner of the mansion next door, a tall and upright middle-aged man in a blue robe.

Upon seeing Lin Qi, he smiled and waved to greet him.

Lin Qi nodded. The other person had just returned today and was no ordinary person.

Because the opponent is a ninth-realm martial artist—King Hanhai.

Cang Province is close to the ocean, and in the past few decades, it has produced only two martial artists at the ninth level.

But now only King Hanhai remains.

Or rather, there are no ordinary people living in this area.

Lin Zhen, who was standing next to him, put down his phone and exclaimed:

"Who would have thought that the King of the Vast Ocean would live next door? It's really unexpected."

Fang Huiyi smiled and said, "And everyone is very easy to talk to."

"Drip!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi's phones rang.

Someone called to congratulate me.

Lin Qi's phone was also vibrating rapidly, with countless acquaintances sending New Year's greetings and various red envelope grabbing attempts.

Time passes by in a flurry of activity.

……

Meanwhile, throughout the Xia Kingdom, countless families were celebrating the Spring Festival.

This applies to both high-level martial artists and ordinary people.

……

At the same time, within the Milky Way galaxy, in the vast and endless starry sky.

A black, saucer-shaped spaceship, maintaining a constant speed, approached the direction of Blue Star.

Inside the spaceship was a spacious living room.

A tall, slender woman with silver skin, dressed in a blue robe, looked at the panel projected in front of her.

A sentient being resembling an orange cat slowly spoke:
"Master, we have three more cosmic days before we arrive at the Blue Star civilization."

The woman in the blue robe sighed:
"Unexpectedly, after 6500 million years, the Milky Way has once again successfully given birth to a planet with life!"

"In the last cosmic war, the cosmic energy of the galaxies surrounding the Milky Way was almost completely drained!"

"It has only recovered a little bit over tens of millions of years."

"It would take at least hundreds of millions of years to return to the past."

"In a place like this, it's almost impossible for Source Energy Martial Arts to develop!"

"So how did this Blue Star civilization develop? And how did it even produce a galaxy-level genius?"

Not far away, several men and women dressed in silver combat suits were carrying out their respective tasks.

They have human appearances, but their skin color is completely different, and they even have unique organs, with sharp horns on their heads.

Some have broad, thick arms with rough, rock-like skin, while others have slender figures and fish fins on their faces.

One of the burly men, with reddish skin and scales on his cheeks, said dismissively:

"Some primitive civilizations may occasionally produce one or two geniuses with good talent."

"But in the end, it was just a flash in the pan; in their own civilization, they were unworthy of being called geniuses."

"Upon first entering the universe, one can perform well. But as time goes on and one witnesses the vastness of the universe, it's like an insect gazing at the stars!"

"In the end, they will just blend into the crowd and become ordinary people."

"Boss, perhaps the geniuses you've met from the Blue Star civilization are just like that!"

"I've seen far too many civilizations like this in the universe!"

"Yes, boss, Tie Ran is right!"

"The Milky Way is too remote, and the cosmic energy is scarce, making it almost impossible for geniuses to be born."

"Could you be mistaken?"

The woman in the blue robe smiled slightly after hearing this:

"A few days later, everything became clear."

……

Once February 1st passes, the Xia Kingdom will officially enter the year 2049!
New year and new atmosphere!
At the same time, the secret technique "Burning Blood" also began to take effect.

Martial artists began to learn it and apply it on the battlefield, and this became increasingly common.

The forums of Crimson Sky House and War House are filled with various discussions.

"The 'Burning Blood' technique is amazing. I learned it in just three days."

"Yesterday, our base was hit by a monster horde, and our team accidentally encountered a Cracked Claw Ape."

"I couldn't win at all and had to run away. I immediately unleashed my Blood Burning ability, which greatly enhanced my physical abilities. I actually managed to kill a Cracked Claw Ape. It was amazing!"

"However, the side effect is that I feel weak all over. I feel like I've had several liters of blood drained from my body. I'm still not fully recovered."

"Me too, on the battlefield..."

……

In a martial arts room in the capital, Shanhe Wang, dressed in a white martial arts uniform, couldn't help but smile as he looked at the forum posts.
"It seems that the effects of the Blood Burning Technique are already showing. In just a few days, many martial artists have already benefited."

"We really have to thank Lynch!"

……

Cangzhou Province, Tianhai City, Royal View Mansion, No. 5.

The martial arts room in the main building.

Dressed in a black martial arts uniform, Lin Qi, with his upright posture, also looked at the projected screen, which displayed the forum of the Crimson Sky House.

Most of the discussion revolved around the new secret technique, "Burning Blood".

These past few days, the entire forum has been flooded with posts about "Burning Blood".

Many martial artists have already experienced its benefits.

Seeing that many martial artists had benefited, Lin Qi was also very happy.

It seems that my decision was indeed the right one.

"drop!"

He turned off the screen and began his cultivation.

In the past few days, without the threat of the Zerg and without worrying about assassination, he was able to go out and meet with acquaintances.

My old neighbor in the neighborhood, Zhang Cheng, a teacher and principal at No. 2 Middle School.

There were also parents of some students, including Guo Heng.

Throughout this process, he was constantly surrounded by praise, which would have made anyone else feel flattered.

But Lynch is different; humanity is still in crisis.

He doesn't see himself as an ordinary genius.

He is still too weak. The strongest human being, the Crimson Emperor, is still fighting desperately for the future of Earth.

He has no right to be arrogant.

Instead, focus on working hard!
"Whoosh~"

The body shot out in an instant, friction with the air creating gusts of wind.

At the same time, amidst the whirlwind, his body instantly coalesced into six figures.

Each figure seemed so real.

His body also moved through the air like streaks of black lightning, appearing in different locations.

Lin Qi's body erupted with golden light, his internal energy circulated, and he felt the movement of his cells being fully mobilized.

Two hours later

"Whoosh~"

Lin Qi suddenly stopped, sweat dripping from his forehead.

Feeling her body become lighter, she smiled.

[Through diligent practice, you have gained new insights into the movement technique "Nine Flashes of Thunder," movement skill +1%]

[Agility: Tier 5 09% → Tier 5 10%]

……

　Thank you Yi Qingfeng Fumian for the 600 Qidian coins!
