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

Chapter 566 Killing Move - Instant Shadow Thousand Lights (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Bang!!"

"Puff!!"

The military unleashed a torrent of heavy firepower, causing countless low-level monsters to crash down, leaving behind plumes of blood mist.

Jiang Tao watched this scene in shock; it was something that had never happened even in the Beast Hunting Competition.

"kill!!"

Xue Zhou roared and charged out first, followed by the other high-level martial artists.

"Taozi, let's go!"

Jiang Tao nodded and ran out with the others.

Hundreds of high-level martial artists took the lead, and other martial artists followed suit.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

Surrounded by seventh-realm warriors, all moving at incredible speeds, they clashed with the horde of calamity beasts in no time.

Various kinds of internal energy erupted, with blade energy, sword energy, and spear energy shooting out.

Jiang Tao followed suit, brandishing his battle sword. Brown sword energy shot out, slaying several low-level monsters!

After hunting for a while, Jiang Tao felt that he didn't really need to learn anything; he could just keep hunting the monsters.

"roar~"

In an instant, high-level calamity beasts rushed out, and the high-level martial artists began to search for their opponents.

Jiang Tao was also targeted by a giant steel-boned tiger, which suddenly pounced, catching him off guard.

"Oh!"

Jiang Tao brandished his battle sword and clashed with the steel-boned giant tiger. With immense force, his body was blasted away and crashed into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

His defense was astonishing; the Steel-Bone Giant Tiger's attack did not cause him much damage.

As he sprang to his feet, he saw a gigantic claw slicing through the sky.

"Pfft~"

The next instant, a golden spear beam shot out, piercing through the neck of the steel-boned giant tiger, causing blood to spurt out.

"Oh!"

The massive body crashed to the ground. Jiang Tao stared at the fallen steel-boned giant tiger with lingering fear, his heart filled with horror.

The level seven calamity beast, the Steel-Bone Giant Tiger, died just like that. He turned his head and saw a tall man wearing black and gold armor and wielding a black and gold spear.

It was Lin Qi. At this moment, he was radiating golden light and was surrounded by an astonishing aura of malevolence, like a demon god from hell!

"Taozi, on the battlefield, you must keep your eyes and ears open and not get distracted!"

Hearing Lin Qi's words, Jiang Tao nodded and said:

"I understand!"

"Brother Qi, the title 'Golden Spear Demon' really suits you!"

The next moment his expression changed drastically, and he roared:
"Brother Qi, watch out!"

In Jiang Tao's sight, a huge creature suddenly sprang out from behind Lin Qi. It was a purple cheetah-like monster—the Night Leopard.

The opponent was too fast and launched a sudden attack.

The opponent's claws pierced out with lightning speed, seemingly able to pierce through Lin Qi's body in the blink of an eye.

But at the very moment of impact, Lin Qi's figure vanished, leaving only an afterimage.

"call out!"

Lin Qi dodged the attack, turned around, and brandished his spear, transforming into a black lightning bolt that shot out.

When the "World-Destroying Gun Manual" was unleashed, a golden domain expanded outwards, resembling a circular domain with a diameter of 20 meters.

Enveloping the Night Leopard, the golden light felt like sharp blades slicing through its body.

Although it could not break through its tough membrane, it effectively limited the speed.

Lin Qi himself burst forth, transforming into a golden light that shot out like a golden thread at more than twice the speed of sound.

The spear tip pierced through the Night Leopard's body in an instant, blasting a huge hole in it.

Lin Qi himself transformed into a sharp arrow, piercing through flesh and shooting out along with countless drops of blood.

The scorched earth around them was also covered in scalding blood.

"roar~"

"Oh!"

The Night Leopard's massive body crashed to the ground, but its limbs quickly regained their movement.

Lin Qi turned his head and smiled, "Taozi, thank you for reminding me!"

Jiang Tao stared wide-eyed at the fallen Night Leopard. An eighth-level calamity beast, just like that, it was dead?
He killed him in one move.

Looking at Lin Qi now, he was unusually relaxed, and he felt that Lin Qi didn't need his reminder at all.

He could only laugh and say, "Of course!"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Then you should continue to hunt down calamity beasts. It's best to hunt down intermediate-level calamity beasts first, and then start hunting down level seven calamity beasts."

"Take it one step at a time!"

After saying that, he turned around and unleashed a golden spear aura several meters long at the charging level eight calamity beast.

"Pfft~"

The fifty-meter-long Earth-Splitting Dragon was pierced through the neck by the golden spear energy as if it were paper, spurting blood wildly before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Jiang Tao, watching this scene, asked Shen Heng beside him:
"Senior Shen Heng, was Brother Qi this amazing before?"

Shen Heng, standing nearby, also gasped, shook his head, and said with a wry smile:
"Brother Qi was already strong enough before, but he's gotten even stronger this time!"

"I wonder where his limits are?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Tao clenched his fists.

"I need to become stronger too!"

With that thought in mind, he turned around and began searching for and hunting the calamity beasts.

He wants to hunt more calamity beasts, earn more merit points, and become stronger.

……

On the other side, Lin Qi frantically killed the disaster beasts.

Any calamity beast that appears in the vicinity, whether low-level, mid-level, or high-level, cannot withstand his single shot.

Lynch went on a killing spree, further increasing his kill efficiency.

Strength, speed, stamina, defense, and reaction time are all enhanced.

In other words, it can kill the monsters faster and has stronger stamina.

He used to be able to act as one of 10 eighth-level martial artists, but now he can double that, acting as one of 20 eighth-level martial artists.

However, besides hunting down calamity beasts, he now wants to master the killing moves of the "Golden Light Scroll".

This was a lightning-fast shot, delivered after the Thirty-Six Golden Light Combo.

"It's a pity we don't have any level nine calamity beasts, otherwise, using them as a whetstone would have made the breakthrough even faster!"

Lin Qi was secretly disappointed; there were still too few level-nine calamity beasts.

"roar~"

Suddenly, Lin Qi sensed a danger and looked toward the source of it.

That was a giant tiger with golden fur all over its body and a body as majestic as a mountain—the Golden Tiger!

"roar~"

Jin Ganghu's eyes were like burning suns, his tigerish might shook the heavens, and his roar stirred up terrifying sound waves.

It has its sights set on Lynch, and not only Lynch, but also two other calamity beasts.

Like a dragon that moves mountains, or a ghostly night leopard.

The three level-eight calamity beasts instantly surrounded Lin Qi.

Lin Qi felt the immense pressure and immediately smiled, his eyes flashing with golden light:
"You're the ones!"

"roar~"

The Night Leopard launched the first attack; it was agile and the fastest.

Lin Qi, too, instantly transformed into several afterimages, causing the Night Leopard's attack to miss.

At the same time, Jin Ganghu seized the opportunity, his sharp claws slashing through the air, tearing it apart, and slamming down like a blot out the sky in the fierce wind.

Lin Qi did not dodge, and a terrifying aura erupted. All three abilities were unleashed simultaneously, with the power of [Golden Light] reaching its limit.

He channeled his inner energy into his body and charged forward, intending to withstand the attack head-on.

The power of the domain flows at the tip of the spear!
"boom!"

His entire body shot out like a beam of golden light, with golden threads piercing straight through the air.

"Pfft~"

As the sound of the black and gold spear piercing flesh rang out, Lin Qi thrust out thirty-six times in less than 0.1 seconds!

These thirty-six shots combine power and speed!

The Golden Tiger's massive claws, as hard as steel, were instantly pierced, and scalding blood gushed out.

"roar~"

The Golden Tiger let out a shrill scream and couldn't help but retract its giant claws.

"roar~"

At the same time, the massive Earth-Splitting Dragon roared, and the moment Lin Qi landed, its tail, like that of a giant python, lashed out.

Its tail is exceptionally flexible and incredibly fast, shooting out at more than twice the speed of sound.

Seeing this, Lin Qi used his movement technique, "Nine Flashes of Thunder," to dodge!
The next moment, another crisis struck – the Night Leopard behind them launched an attack!

Their attacks, like those of calamity beasts, are layered upon layered, covering an extremely wide area.

Ordinary eighth-realm martial artists, when faced with an attack from three level-eight calamity beasts, can only run away, or they will simply wait to die.

It might be possible to solve the problem from both ends, or to kill one end by itself.

The only exception is the three level-eight calamity beasts!

The three level-eight calamity beasts, with their innate hunting instincts, will seize any opportunity to launch attacks continuously.

They gave Lynch almost no chance to catch his breath.

If it were an ordinary eighth-realm martial artist, they would definitely not be able to withstand the tail strike of the Earth-Splitting Dragon.

Once hit, he will be met with the claws and fangs of other calamity beasts!
"Whoosh~"

Lin Qi transformed into lightning, and facing the Night Leopard's attack, he immediately unleashed the "World-Destroying Spear Manual".

Surrounded by three calamity beasts, a sense of crisis enveloped his heart, and the talent deep within his bloodline surged forth, making his blood boil.

His mind raced, and his consciousness mobilized the body's cells—more than a third of the billions of cells were under his control.

Control, unify, operate, and achieve the same frequency as the mobilization of internal energy.

In an instant, Lin Qi's speed suddenly increased significantly.

He shot out with lightning speed, aimed at the Night Leopard's head, and thrust out thirty-six times in succession!
In less than 0.1 seconds, each shot was delivered with lightning speed!
"Pfft! Pfft!!" The Night Leopard's head was instantly pierced, its brain exploded, and blood splattered out.

"Whoosh~"

At the same time, Lin Qi mobilized his high-level skills, compressing them to a high degree, and then burst out again the instant he landed on the ground.

This time, he reached an astonishing speed of six times the speed of sound!
"Pfft~"

A golden thread, visible to the naked eye, pierced straight through the sky and penetrated the belly of the Earth-Splitting Dragon, its penetrating power reaching its peak.

Scalding hot blood gushed out again.

This wasn't the end. Lin Qi increased his speed again, using the Earthshaker's head as a leverage point.

Transforming into golden lightning, he charged towards the Golden Tiger once more.

"roar~"

Jin Ganghu's eyes were moving; everything was too fast for him to react to.

He could only watch helplessly as Lin Qi transformed into golden light, tearing through the surrounding air and piercing straight through his body.

"Pfft~"

“Bang bang bang!!”

A second later, blood gushed out, and the three enormous creatures crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of bloody dust!
"Oh!"

Lin Qi stood on the head of the Golden Tiger, looking at the corpses of the three level-eight calamity beasts with an indifferent expression.

Several messages popped up instantly on the gold panel.

[You successfully mastered the ultimate move of the "Golden Light Scroll" from the "World-Destroying Spear Manual" amidst the siege of level eight calamity beasts—Instant Shadow Thousand Lights, spear technique +5%]

[Your comprehension of the movement technique "Thunder Nine Flashes" has greatly improved during the siege of level eight calamity beasts, increasing your movement speed by 7%]

[Gun Technique: Tier 5 34% → Tier 5 39%]

[Agility: Tier 5 23% → Tier 5 30%]

……

Lin Qi nodded to himself; he had finally mastered the killing move of the "Golden Light Scroll".

Killer move—Instant Shadow Thousand Lights!
This killer move emphasizes extreme speed, maximizing the characteristics of the [Golden Light].

The fastest shot comes after the thirty-six consecutive golden strikes.

It can even condense spear energy and shoot out a golden beam that is a thousand meters long.

Looking around, because of his speed, the residual golden light had not yet dissipated within the domain.

Connected together, they resemble hundreds of meters of golden threads.

Xue Zhou, who was not far away, also saw this scene and his eyes widened immediately.

"This... strength!"

Even he couldn't defeat the three level-eight calamity beasts that attacked him, and could only find an opportunity to escape.

But what he saw now was that Lin Qi had killed three level-eight calamity beasts in just a few seconds.

That's something he couldn't possibly do.

Only a very small number of eighth-realm martial artists can do this.

Has Lin Qi become this strong?

Xue Zhou found it hard to believe that he had been surpassed by Lin Qi.

He hurried to Lin Qi's side, looked at the fallen body, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Lin Qi, with your abilities, you're definitely a shoo-in for the selection!"

Lin Qi shook his head and laughed:

"My skills are still far from sufficient!"

"I need to become stronger!"

After saying that, he turned around and went to hunt down other high-level monsters!
Xue Zhou looked at Lin Qi's tall figure with a mixture of surprise and joy. With a genius like Lin Qi on their Blue Star, the Fire Seed Trial was even more promising.

At the same time, I was amazed at how terrifying such a genius was, and how I was far inferior to him, which explained why I couldn't pass the test.

……

Large-scale monster hordes usually don't last very long.

Today it ended even faster; it started at 8 a.m. and was basically over by 5 p.m.

Large numbers of warriors began returning to their base from the battlefield!
Jiang Tao walked wearily along the road. Today was his first time stepping onto the battlefield, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Give!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside them, dressed in black and gold armor, exuding a strong aura of menace.

He took out a bottle of the Water of Life and handed it over.

Jiang Tao didn't have any "buts," because he knew that Lin Qi was now incredibly wealthy.

Unlike him now, although he receives subsidies, he really doesn't dare to drink the "water of life" casually.

"Gulu~"

He drank the water of life and felt his tired body begin to recover.

Lin Qi asked, "How are you feeling?"

Jiang Tao's eyes gleamed with excitement as he said, "Brother Qi, coming to the battlefield was the right decision!"

"Although I'm tired, I feel like I've improved tremendously!"

"You can also earn merit points!"

"If I stay longer, I feel I can quickly replenish my blood!"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Then you'd better work hard!"

Jiang Tao clenched his fist and said, "I will. I will definitely get the spot."

After they parted ways, each went into their own martial arts room.

Lin Qi took off his armor and thought of Jiang Tao. The current Jiang Tao had amazing talent and considerable strength.

Among the seven realms, it can be considered to be in the middle to upper range.

Half a month is still too short a time; at best, it will only reach the upper-middle level.

Jiang Tao is not himself after all; he defeated Gu Cheng, who was at the top of his class, as soon as he arrived.

Give him another half month, and getting a spot in the trial will be a sure thing.

Therefore, he also had to help Jiang Tao when necessary.

After all, I have a lot of merit points, so I can exchange some in advance to help Jiang Tao.

……

A few minutes later, Lin Qi, having finished washing up, sat cross-legged in the martial arts room and took out a metal box from his spatial bracelet and opened it.

Inside were three secret manuals. He took out the thick, golden manual—"The World-Destroying Gun Manual."

Now that he has mastered the ultimate move in "The Golden Light Scroll," he can put it aside for the time being.

This does not mean that you have reached perfection. As your marksmanship improves, your combos can continue to improve.

However, if you want to continue improving your marksmanship, you'll have to start learning other books.

He fell into deep thought, unsure whether to study the *Jin Feng Scroll* or the *Jingang Scroll*.

One focuses on the destructive power of its moves, while the other focuses on their defensive capabilities.

This made it difficult for him to make a decision.

If the opponent in the Fire Seed Trial is too strong, having defensive moves might give you a chance to snatch victory from the ashes and turn defeat into triumph.

However, if one cultivates the "Golden Edge Scroll" and greatly enhances the power of the moves, one might be able to defeat the opponent head-on.

After thinking it over, Lin Qi had a choice: he wanted them all.

Let's just cultivate at the same time.

He has both defense and offense capabilities.

When the time comes, we can choose the most important aspects to cultivate.

With that in mind, he opened the "World-Destroying Gun Manual" and began to browse through it.

After a moment, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Amazing, so ingenious! A completely different way of exerting power from the 'Golden Light Scroll'!"

"As long as I practice, my marksmanship will improve significantly!"

……

Time passed slowly, and the air around the entire planet became increasingly restless.

With the selection for the Fire Seed Trial drawing ever closer, many high-level martial artists in the Xia Kingdom are eager to secure a spot.

Therefore, they are the most hardworking, wishing they could spend 24 hours a day in cultivation.

Time passed by unnoticed, and it was July 7th.

The capital city, the headquarters of the Crimson Sky Martial Arts Hall, the spaceship of the Star Patrol Team.

Inside the spaceship, in a spacious living room.

Wearing a blue robe, the tall and delicate-featured Tu Lan lay on the smart chair.

An intelligent life form was massaging her from behind, and the table was laden with various items: bubble tea, coffee, cola, hamburgers, fried chicken, hot pot, barbecue...

The milk tea floated up and landed in her hand, which she then drank in large gulps.

"Indeed, the things on this blue planet have a unique flavor, many of which cannot be tasted on other planets."

"That's one of the advantages of being an inspector: you can go to different civilizations and sample their local specialties."

"And the specialties of this blue planet are exceptionally good!"

"Little Orange, if I remember correctly, the selection process for Blue Star is about to begin?"

"Ten geniuses will be selected from each of the three realms: Blood Exchange, Acupoint Refinement, and Sky Soaring Realm, to prepare for the Fire Seed Trial."

The next second, an intelligent life form that was entirely orange and looked like a cat appeared next to Tu Lan.

It shook its head and said, "Master, I still prefer the name Siyuan."

"The selection process for Blue Star will officially begin tomorrow!"

"Moreover, I don't think it's necessary to go and see it."

"The potential of Earth's civilization is too low!"

"This planet is mostly ocean, and the strongest beings cultivate fire attributes. It's all a mess and doesn't fit the characteristics of any civilization at all."

After hearing this, Tu Lan shook her head and laughed:

From now on, I'll call you Little Orange!

I'll go watch the selection tomorrow.

"My potential is now limited. After hundreds of years, I still cannot break through the three realms of the universe."

"I'm tired of the virtual universe, so let's see the struggles and hopes of a civilization!"
