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

Chapter 558 Breakthrough—Eighth Realm! (Seeking monthly votes)

Inside the martial arts room, Lin Qi sat cross-legged, everything was ready.

He thought of Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing, who had already broken through to the eighth realm.

Now all that's left is me!
Break through to the Eighth Realm, today only!
He will break through using five tons of Thunder Prison Lion blood!
With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated, opened a bucket, picked up a straw, and started drinking in large gulps!
"Gulu~"

In a short while, a ton of Thunder Prison Lion blood entered his stomach, and the essence of the blood was frantically absorbed by his body.

He began to circulate the "Golden Emperor's Secret Manual," initiating a physical transformation.

"Hoohoo!!"

The internal organs begin to heat up, and from the inside out, the body begins to feel hot, like a furnace.

His face was flushed, he was sweating profusely, his internal organs were burned, and the domineering power of his blood was causing his body immense pain.

not enough!

Lin Qi had already gotten used to the pain, and then opened the second barrel of Thunder Prison Lion Blood!

"Gulu~"

He drank another ton of blood in one gulp!

"Hoohoo!!"

The burning sensation in his internal organs intensified, causing even greater pain. He was sweating profusely, and the ground around him was soaked with sweat, forming puddles as if he were taking a shower.

At the same time, heat emanated from his body, forming wisps of white smoke.

After Lin Qi felt the burning sensation lessen, he continued to consume the blood of the Thunder Lion.

Within an hour, they drank all five barrels of Thunder Prison Lion Blood.

Lynch's pain had reached its limit.

Amidst intense pain, his body began to transform, and the amount of blood in his body continued to increase.

"Dong Dong!!"

My heart beats powerfully, and my blood flows like the Yellow River, rushing through every corner of my body.

The remaining toxins, impurities, and waste are washed out, and a dramatic transformation begins.

Finally, at a certain moment, his body was drained of all its moisture, and he trembled all over. The 9th blood transfusion officially began!
"Tick!"

The pores on my body begin to discharge dried blood, accompanied by a fishy odor!
Lynch could clearly feel his blood and strength draining away, a foul odor filling his nostrils, and dark red blood flowing out.

This is the body's final blood exchange, expelling all toxins and achieving a state of purity!
Lynch began to feel dizzy and unwell!
In pain, the body is like a broken faucet, with blood flowing out wildly, covering the skin and forming layers of blood stains!
His skin was no longer smooth; it began to dry out, and his face turned pale!

Entering an unprecedented state of weakness!
The pain was gone, leaving only endless weakness, and my burning body began to cool.

At that moment, Lin Qi felt as if he were about to die!

He adjusted his breathing, maintaining a steady pace, allowing the internal energy to circulate within his body, and carefully experiencing the sensation.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

He felt a warm current flowing from his bones!
My whole body started to feel numb!
A surge of new life force emerges, blood flows again within the body, as if water has begun to flow in a riverbed.

Gradually, it covers everything, from a trickle to a stream, and finally transforms into a waterfall, a lake, and a vast ocean!
Gradually, it fills every blood vessel in the body, revealing the body's vitality. The bone marrow begins to produce blood, and the essence in the blood is absorbed and transformed.

New blood circulates throughout the body, and the overall physical strength is continuously improved in the process.

Qi and blood flow, following specific pathways, and the source energy operates in this process.

"Whoo~"

Lin Qi's consciousness drifted between life and death, detaching from his physical body, and he sensed the power of the surrounding universe.

The body is a microcosm, and the outside world is a macrocosm!
The universes, both large and small, merged and resonated with each other, allowing him to instantly sense many nodes within his body.

It hindered his connection with heaven and earth and the universe.

In an instant, Lin Qi realized that those were acupoints in the human body!
It is also a bridge connecting the human body and the universe.

By continuously opening up the body's acupoints, the physical body undergoes a transformation, merging with the heavens and the universe to gain greater power.

This is the Eighth Realm—Refining the Aperture!
As time goes by, power continues to surge forth, filling every part of the body, and the bone marrow continues to create joy.

The body is still transforming; it's not over yet.

This breakthrough brought about a complete transformation in him.

He channeled his spiritual energy deep into his body to examine his physical form.

His bones underwent another transformation, with golden luster filling the corners and golden patterns becoming increasingly distinct, like divine weapons radiating sharpness.

The flow of newborn blood brings boundless vitality, heavy as molten mercury and viscous as quicksilver, carrying life to every corner.

Looking at the bone marrow, it was as pure and flawless as crystal, as if its quality had reached a higher level.

The powerful vitality made him feel refreshed and invigorated, and he felt exceptionally happy.

He liked this feeling; after the pain came comfort.

As blood circulated throughout his body, he felt the meridians within, and his control over his strength became clearer.

He savored the feeling as time slowly passed.

……

In the blink of an eye, 12 hours had passed.

It was 9 p.m.

"call!!"

Inside the martial arts room, there was a foul, fishy smell and people covered in blood.

Suddenly, a powerful aura filled the space, and the next second, the blood scum exploded violently.

"boom!!"

Bloodstains exploded, falling like raindrops into every corner of the martial arts room.

Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and in an instant a sharp light shot out from his eyes, illuminating the dark martial arts room.

"Wow!"

The next moment, the lights came on, and Lin Qi looked at his arms, which were still covered in sweat, grease, and toxins!

He slowly stood up, his whole body warm and full of energy.

He clenched his fist, and the power surged forth, giving him a strong illusion that he could blast through the space in front of him!
[You have consumed five barrels of Thunder Prison Lion blood, undergoing a physical transformation and beginning your 9th blood transfusion, resulting in a significant increase in physical strength.]

[After completing 9 blood transfusions, you have achieved perfect blood transfusion and successfully broken through to the next realm—Eighth Realm Acupoint Refinement. Your Qi and Blood Value increased by 500.]

[You have successfully broken through to the eighth realm. Template fusion rate +0.5%, and the awakening progress of unknown abilities has accelerated!]

[Qi and Blood Value: 9900 → 10400]

[Template: Erlang Shen - Yang Jian]

[Integration degree: 39% → 39.5%]

……

Lin Qi looked at the information on the panel and immediately smiled.

After consuming five tons of Thunder Prison Lion blood, his physical strength increased significantly, reaching the standard for transformation, and he directly underwent his ninth blood exchange.

This is something that only a handful of people in the entire universe can do.

The "Blood Exchange Chapter" in the "Golden Emperor's Secret Manual" states that a few geniuses can perform eight blood exchanges.

Only a very few geniuses can achieve nine blood transfusions, and such feats are extremely rare throughout the entire Starfire Civilization.

The Starfire Civilization was a powerful civilization that controlled thousands of inhabited planets, almost reaching the level of a medium-level civilization.

Only a handful of people have been able to undergo nine blood transfusions, which shows how valuable those nine blood transfusions are!

Lin Qi looked at himself in the mirror; he was tall and imposing.

His muscles were like those forged from alloy, honed through countless trials, without a single impurity.

Standing on the ground, a heavy, mountain-like aura permeated the surroundings, while explosive power was hidden within his body.

He has gone further and further down the path of the extraordinary.

He is now an eighth-level martial artist, and his lifespan has reached an astonishing 500 years!
Lin Qi felt the surge of energy within him and focused his gaze on the punching power testing device not far away.

This is a unique punching power tester; it is part of the Crimson Sky 3 series and is the strongest tester on the entire Blue Star.

Many eighth-level and even ninth-level martial artists use this one!

The pierced red punching bag has disappeared, replaced by a black cylindrical object with a diameter of 30 centimeters.

It was surrounded by a spiral pattern. He touched it and found that it was made of a special material that was more elastic and could absorb force.

"It is said that this Crimson Sky 3 series punching force detector can withstand punching force of several thousand tons!"

"drop!"

Lin Qi turned on the machine, and the electronic screen on the black cylindrical boxing target instantly lit up, displaying the logo.

Lynch approached the punching bag.

In an instant, his feet felt as firmly rooted to the ground as an old tree.

Clenching his fist, terrifying power surged forth like a tidal wave.

"Hoohoo!!"

The entire martial arts room was instantly engulfed in gusts of wind, the power converging like a raging torrent, as if a hundred-ton king had lost control on a highway!

Lynch's fist slammed out at supersonic speed, slamming heavily onto the cylindrical punching bag.

"Bang!!"

With a loud bang, the cylindrical punching bag vibrated violently, instantly absorbing all the force.

On the electronic screen, a string of data appeared: "175000 kg!"

Lin Qi nodded secretly after seeing it. 175 kilograms of punching force, which is 17.5 tons of punching force.

The minimum punching power of an eighth-realm martial artist is 100 tons, and he has already exceeded 75 tons, which is stronger than most eighth-realm martial artists.

Even a martial artist at the peak of the eighth realm can only generate a punch force of up to 250 tons!
"Try going all out again!"

Lin Qi exhaled, and in the next instant, his whole body burst forth with golden light, and two layers of golden patterns appeared.

It started flowing on the skin, veins bulging, muscles taut.

The Golden Emperor's罡劲, formed by the condensation of two forces, 【金锋】【金光】, erupts!
Concentrating his power in his fists, Lin Qi felt an even stronger force.

There was a slight disharmony in the Golden Emperor's罡劲 (Golden Emperor's罡劲), because it lacked the final ability: [金刚] (Vajra).

"Boom!" Power gathered on the fist like threads, and the entire martial arts room was enveloped by an invisible domain power.

Lin Qi reached his peak state. His gaze sharpened, and he suddenly threw out his fist like a divine weapon, as if a spear pierced through the air.

The moment the fist was thrown, it seemed to form an invisible sharp cone that spread outwards.

The fist was thrown out at several times the speed of sound!
It slammed heavily onto the cylindrical punching bag inside.

"Bang!!"

A deafening roar erupted, and the punching bag shook violently. Had the base not been fixed to the ground, it would have been blasted away instantly.

"Hoohoo!!"

An invisible wave of energy spread outwards, and a fierce wind raged. Lin Qi felt that the terrifying power here was being absorbed by the punching bag.

He had no doubt that the force of his punch would shatter all the windows on the street.

"drop!"

As the punching pad vibrated, a series of data appeared on the electronic screen—"700000 kg".

"call!"

As the fierce wind subsided, Lin Qi put away his fist.

Looking at the data on the screen, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

700,000 kilograms, or 700 tons of punching force, a fourfold increase!

This is an extremely terrifying figure, surpassing the punching power limits of many peak eighth-realm martial artists.

The martial artist who can enter the eighth realm is at least an A-level genius.

Most of them are S-level geniuses, but they have just broken through to surpass themselves.

"Test the speed!"

Lynch turned on the speed tester and tested two sets of data.

A moment later, in a gust of wind, Lin Qi condensed several afterimages, completely transforming into lightning, and he ran in circles around the martial arts room.

He's as fast as lightning, though of course his current speed is still far from that of lightning!

The slowest speed of lightning is 100000 meters per second!
10 meters per second!

He looked at the screen, where two sets of data appeared:
140m/s

560m/s

Its top speed has exceeded the speed of sound at 374 m/s.
It could be said that he has become a completely inhuman being.
Lin Qi recalled his own speed and strength, which were already stronger than many eighth-realm martial artists!
But it's not enough!
I have a 4x power boost, and so do everyone else.

For example, Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing also comprehended cultivation techniques from the six top-tier demonic beasts in the Blood Pillar of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The condensed internal energy can double the combat power.

They also awakened two abilities.

The combat power also increased by 4 times.

His advantage lies in his strong foundation and the significant boost from the 4x increase in combat power!

He is not afraid of Sun Sheng or Li Tianxing now, because they have both just broken through.

However, if they are at the peak of the eighth realm, then the gap is much larger.

I wouldn't be a match for them!

And in the Fire Seed Trial six months later, your opponent will very likely encounter such an opponent.

His current strength is still too weak!

His gaze then fell on the template integration.

The fusion rate is 39.5%, just 0.5% away.

That is, one or two months.

If he can awaken the [Vajra], his combat power will increase by an astonishing 5 times!
This way, he has a chance to win against any opponent.

Lin Qi couldn't help but think of the Crimson Emperor, who was very likely the only genius on Blue Star to awaken three special abilities.

His combat power increased sixfold, making him virtually unmatched in the Ninth Realm.

He had seen discussions online that the Crimson Emperor would definitely participate in the Fire Seed Trial.

It's also the only game that's 100% guaranteed to be won.

The others are not stable enough, which is why Lan Xin is the number one player.

"call!"

Lynch clenched his fist. His primary goal for the next five months was to achieve a 40% template integration rate.
Once he awakens the [Vajra], his combat power will be greatly enhanced.

Next, you will be selected to become one of the ten representatives of the Eighth Realm Peak to participate in the Fire Seed Trial.

The ultimate goal is to successfully defeat the opponent, contribute one's own efforts, and help the Blue Star civilization achieve a victory.

The specific rules of the trial are not yet clear, but naturally, the stronger the better.

……

A moment later, Lin Qi came out of the bathroom, having changed into a clean martial arts uniform.

The martial arts room was also cleaned by a smart robot!

"Xiao Chan, open the 'Golden Emperor's Secret Manual'."

"Okay, master!"

Xiao Chan, dressed in blue, projected a green panel displaying a large amount of text—the advanced source energy cultivation technique, "The Golden Emperor's Secret Manual."

It has now been compiled into an electronic file by Lynch, which also includes his own interpretation.

Now that he has broken through to the eighth realm, he is about to begin reading the Refining Acupoints Chapter.

He glanced at it briefly, and it showed that by exchanging blood, the body was constantly transforming. The blood was transforming and flowing in the body, which made the body's acupoints appear.

The difficulty of opening up acupoints has also decreased.

"Master, it's a call from Master Shanhe Wang!"

Suddenly, Xiao Chan spoke up, projecting a large green screen that showed the resolute face of the Mountain and River King on the other side.

"Lin Qi, I suddenly remembered something about breaking through to the eighth realm. I have a notebook for you to refer to."

Lin Qi was moved after hearing this, then shook his head and said:
"Master, do I no longer need it?"

The King of Mountains and Rivers narrowed his eyes and said:

"Have you not……"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "That's right, I just successfully broke through from the seventh realm to the eighth realm!"

He spoke calmly, as if he were recounting a trivial matter.

King Shanhe was completely stunned!
They really broke through; the speed is incredible!
He originally thought that Lin Qi would need another one to two months to officially break through to the eighth realm.

It took two months faster than expected.

The meeting of high-level martial artists just ended yesterday, and he broke through today?

What kind of talent is this?
If he remembers correctly, Lin Qi broke through to the seventh realm last July, right?

It's been less than a year, and they've already broken the record; that speed has broken records.

But after the initial surprise, he was also very excited. Lin Qi's early breakthrough would give him enough time in the next five months to significantly increase his combat power.

So King Shanhe immediately asked:
"Your talent is greater than we imagined!"

What are your plans for the future?

Lin Qi thought for a few seconds and said, "I plan to go back to the Black Dragon Base and cultivate while hunting calamity beasts!"

King Shanhe nodded and said:

"In that case, speed is of the essence. Come to the Black Dragon Base tomorrow!"

"You'll need someone to guide you on how to cultivate the Eighth Realm Acupoint Refinement technique."

Lin Qi nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I'll be there tomorrow!"

After hanging up the phone, Shanhe Wang, who had already arrived at the Black Dragon Base, immediately smiled:
"Lin Qi's talent is even greater than I imagined!"

"He might give us a huge surprise in five months!"

He then used his phone to enter a WeChat group chat.

This is a small group of 25 martial artists from the ninth realm of the Xia Kingdom.

[Mountain and River King: Good news! Lin Qi has just successfully broken through to the eighth realm!]

[Overlord: You broke through so quickly?]

[Sword Emperor: ?]

[Qingxian: ?]

[Red-Clad King: ?]

……

Looking at the question marks in the group chat, Shanhe Wang felt a surge of joy!

He hadn't experienced this feeling in a long time.

Then I saw the private messages from Tiangun and Lieyang Qiangwang.

Other martial artists at the ninth realm were also inquiring about the veracity of this matter.

As Shanhe Wang went back to each of them, he was met with astonishment from the other martial artists of the ninth realm.

Finally, even the Crimson Emperor sent a message.

[Red Emperor: Lynch has not let us down; his potential is limitless!]

King Shanhe nodded, and Lin Qi kept breaking records, as if he were the second Red Emperor!
"It's a pity that the Crimson Emperor awakened three abilities, while Lin Qi is still a little lacking!"

"Moreover, it is said that Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing have also awakened a third ability!"

"Lin Qi's awakening is Yin-type, and this is not his limit yet. Perhaps after some time, he will be able to awaken a third special ability!"
