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

Chapter 576 The Power of the Overlord Body (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In an instant, his heavy sword, carrying the force of thunder, slashed fiercely at Lin Qi.

He awakened two abilities: [Lightning] and [Lightning], possessing both strength and speed!

The movement technique he practiced simultaneously was the "Nine Flashes of Thunder."

The leg muscles exerted force instantly, like a thunderclap.

"boom!"

His sword tore through the air with immense power, crackling with lightning, like a thunder dragon emerging from the earth.

Lin Qi looked solemn. Augustus's swordsmanship style was fierce and domineering, quite similar to his own.

Compared to speed, he focuses more on the destructive power of his moves. His opponents in the previous rounds couldn't even withstand a single move from him!
You could say he's an upgraded version of Yu Zhuoran, with his talent and strength being several levels higher.

"Whoosh~"

In an instant, Lin Qi moved swiftly, also unleashing the "Nine Flashes of Thunder."

With powerful strides, he left deep footprints in the ground.

Facing the thunderous sword force, he suddenly swung his black and gold spear, injecting fierce power into it, accompanied by the trembling of the spear, and unleashed the Golden Edge Five Forms!

"Bang!!"

In an instant, their weapons clashed, and the two spears struck out simultaneously, their powerful forces colliding!

The air exploded!

Lightning and sharp edges devoured each other, the sound of metal clashing was deafening, and violent energy was unleashed.

"What a powerful force!"

Augustus frowned; this power was indeed extraordinary.

The overwhelming force forced him to stumble backward.

As expected, there was a reason why Ajay was defeated; his strength was no less than Ajay's!
Lin Qi, on the other hand, also took several steps back to steady himself.

Lynch silently compared the power of Augustus and Ajay.

Clearly, Augustus was superior to Ajay in every aspect, including physical strength!
However, it is more powerful in terms of the sophistication of its moves and its destructive force.

As for swordsmanship, Lynch suspected that Augustus's swordsmanship was stronger than his own.

He activated his [Golden Eyes], and in the first round of probing, he had already ascertained Augustus's approximate strength.

If I don't use my full strength this time, it will be very difficult to defeat Augustus.

However, fighting him was also a huge boost to my own development.

Thinking of this, he once again wielded the black gold spear, unleashing the Golden Edge Five Forms, mobilizing more cells, and unleashing an even stronger shockwave!

By making the metal vibrate at a high frequency, he can deliver a stronger destructive force with the same amount of force!

This is the core of "Golden Edge Scroll"!

"Come again!"

Augustus roared excitedly, his blood surging, releasing terrifying power, his veins bulging all over his body, like a burst of angry thunder.

At the same time, he thrust out his heavy sword with incredible speed!

"laugh!!"

It pierces out at several times the speed of sound, tearing through the air.

He is not only good at strength, but also very good at speed.

He was agile and nimble, without a trace of clumsiness. His movements were as swift as lightning, and his physical body was simply superhuman.

Augustus was extremely excited, his blood and energy surged like rolling thunder, and his speed increased faster and faster!

The heavy sword thrust out continuously, like bolts of lightning and thunder, like thunderclaps exploding!

Thunderous combo!

Lin Qi also thrust out his black and gold spear, golden threads emerging from it!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

Golden Light Fifty-Hit Combo!

“Ding ding!!”

The golden threads danced like living golden snakes, constantly colliding with the black heavy sword.

Both sides engaged in simple thrusting attacks; offense was defense, and no defense was necessary.

It's all about relentless stabbing!
They had great confidence in their protective energy and armor.

The audience in the stands could only see the two forces, one gold and one silver, constantly clashing.

The clash of metal weapons created a series of whistling sounds as they cut through the air, and the energy storm stirred up clouds of dust, leaving countless craters and footprints on the ground.

The audience seats of the White Eagle Federation

They are the second most powerful nation on Earth, boasting a total of 17 Ninth Realm warriors.

If Augustus, Sena Zagu, and other warriors at the peak of the eighth realm could break through to the ninth realm.

They have more than 20 ninth-realm warriors.

Several ninth-realm martial artists couldn't help but praise:
"Lin Qi of Xia Kingdom is indeed exceptionally talented, worthy of being ranked number one among the Ten Thousand Beast Blood Pillar geniuses."

"He has such strength in just five months since breaking through to the eighth realm. His future is limitless!"

"However, he cannot defeat Augustus; he is the strongest genius in our White Eagle Federation!"

"Even without breaking through, they can defeat a ninth-realm martial artist. After breaking through, they will become the top combat force of our Federation."

As everyone spoke, the God of War, with his striking features, muscular physique, and terrifying aura, also spoke:

“Augustus practices the ‘Ten Thousand Thunder Sword Manual,’ which I obtained from Ruins No. 9. It is a five-star sword technique manual.”

"He is exceptionally well-suited to Augustus. With suitable sword and movement manuals, he will be able to fully utilize his strengths!"

"Once he defeats Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, and others, he can contribute to the Blue Star civilization in the Fire Seed Trial."

"When he breaks through to the ninth realm, the title of Thor will suit him perfectly; it was prepared specifically for him!"

……

The audience and the live chat were buzzing with discussion.

"That was too fast. I thought the previous battles were the limit, but I didn't expect it to be even faster."

"Looking at it this way, Lynch and Augustus are indeed far superior to the others!"

"It's impossible to tell who will win right now; both sides are very strong and evenly matched!"

"This is truly a battle of gods!"

The audience watched the game with bated breath; every second saw dozens of collisions!
In the arena
"Clang clang clang!!"

Countless bolts of lightning ripped through the sky and blasted forth.
The golden spear energy clashed, creating waves of energy storms.

The battle had now reached a fever pitch.

Another fierce collision ensued, and both Lynch and Augustus retreated.

The power of their respective domains was still colliding and canceling each other out, and the suppressive force was almost gone, returning them to the same starting line.

Lin Qi gripped the spear tightly, feeling the surges of electric current, which were instantly absorbed by the internal energy.

After hundreds of consecutive battles and sieges, the "Golden Edge Scroll" and the "Golden Light Scroll" were used alternately.

This gave him a new understanding of marksmanship.

He was secretly pleased; this Augustus was indeed quite powerful, and this whetstone was of good quality.

But it's time to end it.

He possessed the Golden Body, granting him astonishing physical defense; Augustus's attacks caused almost no effective damage.

At this moment, Augustus's expression also became serious.

His purple armor had several scratches and dents, all caused by the previous battle.

He gripped the black heavy sword tightly, exhaled, and felt his blood surge, but a tingling pain still welled up in his heart.

He also suffered considerable impact from the continuous collisions.

Fortunately, it was not seriously damaged.

He looked at Lin Qi with a heavy heart; the continuous battles had put him under immense pressure.

Because he discovered that Lin Qi from Xia Kingdom was really strong!
Augustus looked at Lynch, his eyes flashing with lightning, and smiled confidently.

"Lin Qi, this battle should end now!"

He benefited greatly from his battle with Lin Qi, and his swordsmanship improved.

Continuing to play won't lead to much improvement, so it's time to end this.

An invisible pressure emanated from Lin Qi, and he said with a cold expression:

"It really should end now!"

After Augustus finished speaking, he exuded a powerful aura.

His eyes widened, unleashing astonishing lightning, and his entire being roared like a thunder dragon.

The area affected by lightning expanded, enveloped by electric current!
"boom!"

He brandished his heavy sword, exerted his strength, and shot out from the spot like lightning.

His muscles bulged, veins stood out, blood surged, and double-layered lightning patterns emitted an astonishing light, with lightning energy surrounding his body.

Raising his black heavy sword high, his inner energy surged, and a massive lightning sword tore through space and slashed out.

The ultimate move of the "Ten Thousand Thunder Sword Manual" - Thunderous Slash!
Lin Qi watched as the lightning sword hurtled towards him, countless electric currents filling the air.

In an instant, a third layer of golden patterns appeared on his skin, the three layers of patterns emerging and condensing into a triangular dark gold pattern.

A third force surged from within him, and the Golden Emperor's罡劲 (Golden Emperor's罡劲) reached its complete perfection, releasing a terrifying aura from his body.

Like a tiger unleashed from its cage, his skin seemed to transform into steel, and his power surged forth, causing the surrounding air to freeze.

The expressions of countless ninth-realm martial artists in the front row of the audience changed when they saw this.

"This is……?"

Lin Qi felt the continuous power surging within his body, and released the [Golden Qi] ability, condensing the Qi to increase his combat power by 5 times.

His physical abilities have improved significantly in all aspects.

This is the complete Golden罡霸体!
Facing the unleashed lightning sword, he gripped his spear tightly, golden spear energy condensed, his bones radiated light, and power surged forth, flowing into the spear.

"boom!"

In an instant, he burst forth, facing the Thunder Sword, he unleashed a force of over a thousand tons, and the black-gold spear spun fiercely as it thrust out!

The air formed a sharp cone that was torn apart!

The spear tip flashed with golden light and collided fiercely with the thunder sword.

"Bang!!"

The two forces collided first, compressing violently, and then the spear tip, unimpeded, clashed with the sword.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the two stared at each other, their eyes meeting. At a straight-line distance, cracks instantly appeared on the black sword, spreading outwards like a spiderweb. "Bang!"

Finally, the entire black greatsword shattered, turning into countless fragments that scattered outwards.

Augustus's face was cut by the shards, and blood flowed out.

He stared wide-eyed at everything.

"Pfft~"

The next instant, the spear tip pierced his chest, and the purple armor was pierced through like paper by Lin Qi's spear.

The lightning energy pierced through the protective barrier, penetrated the tough skin, and shattered the heart.

Pass through the chest!

A sharp pain surged through Augustus's heart, and he instantly lost all his strength.

"Pfft~"

A sweet taste came from his throat, and he vomited a large amount of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs.

The battle is over!
……

"boom!"

All the spectators saw was dazzling light and a tremendous roar that shook the entire arena.

A powerful energy storm swept around, obscuring the view.

Tens of millions of viewers, as well as those watching the live stream, stared wide-eyed, eager to know the result.

The whistling sound subsided, the light faded, and two figures appeared in everyone's sight through the smoke.

Lin Qi, his body radiating dark gold patterns, stood proudly, his spear piercing through Augustus's body.

Augustus asked incredulously:
"What kind of power is this?"

Lin Qi smiled and said:
"Go ask your teacher, he knows!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Augustus, clad in purple armor, vanished into nothingness in the air.

[Match 2: Lin Qi (Xia Guo) wins!]

Above the arena, an intelligent voice announced the final result.

Lin Qi sheathed his spear, the dark gold patterns on his body dissipated, and his terrifying power was hidden.

He felt the vibrations in the metal structure of the gun.

This was the first time he had used three abilities simultaneously in the arena.

He was also very satisfied with the power; a top-level eighth-realm martial artist like Augustus was able to defeat a top genius who was a ninth-realm martial artist.

He was stabbed to death by his own hand!

His eighth-tier heavy sword couldn't withstand the force and was instantly shattered.

"Clap!!"

The moment the result was announced, thunderous applause and a tsunami of cheers erupted from the entire audience.

"too strong!"

"What did I just see? Augustus's battle sword was shattered! This was a simulated eighth-tier weapon. How much power must that have?"

What happened at the last minute?

"Why has Lin Qi suddenly become so much stronger? He seems like a god!"

"My God, Augustus actually lost?"

"God, is this real?"

The people of Xia were in an uproar. It was unbelievable that Lin Qi had won so easily, as if he had suddenly exerted force and his opponent had fallen.

Meanwhile, the audience of the White Eagle Federation was filled with wails of despair. They could not believe that the strongest Augustus had fallen among the top five.

They didn't even make it to the semifinals.

……

In the stands of the White Eagle Federation, the blond-haired, blue-eyed Augustus was teleported back.

Before leaving, he was proud and confident, with a tall and imposing figure, determined to win the championship.

He is now dispirited, lacking energy and spirit, listless, and with a blank expression.

He looked at his teacher, the God of War, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Teacher, what kind of power does Lin Qi possess? My greatsword can't withstand his spear!"

The terrifying war god, arms crossed, sighed:
"Those are three special abilities. He has a five-fold increase in combat power, so it's normal that you're no match for him!"

"Lin Qi of Xia Kingdom, he's been hiding his true abilities far too well!"

"Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, and Lao Tian have truly treated Xia Guo well, allowing them to possess three top geniuses!"

Augustus exclaimed in realization, "So there are three abilities!"

He was resentful. If he also possessed three abilities, who could be his opponent?

……

In the front row of the Xia Kingdom's audience seats, the Ninth Realm warriors also showed expressions of surprise.

"Three abilities?" the Purple-Clad Overlord asked first.

King Shanhe smiled, both surprised and delighted, and said:
"That's right, it really is three abilities?"

"That kid Lin Qi awakened a third ability but didn't tell us."

Seeing this, the Sword Emperor smiled and said, "Now, Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing have all awakened three abilities!"

"It looks like the championship won't be easy to win!"

The Crimson Emperor, sitting in the middle of the crowd, nodded slightly, while Tu Lan beside him was not so calm.

The surprise on his face was impossible to hide!
"Three abilities, another one?"

"Don't you have three geniuses in the Qi Refining Realm who have awakened three abilities?"

"On an ordinary planet, within a very short period of time after coming into contact with the extraordinary, four galaxy-level geniuses were born in succession."

There's definitely something wrong with your Earth!

Tu Lan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. She had already made up her mind that after the Fire Seed Trial, no, after the selection was over, she would study Blue Star carefully.

This civilization is truly extraordinary!

The potential of civilization is by no means low.

Maybe there really is a high-end one.

The Crimson Emperor inquired, "Inspector Tu Lan, do you think a cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm has a chance of victory?"

Tu Lan paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can't be sure about that!"

"It depends on which civilization your opponent is, but the Qi Refining Realm might actually allow you to win a few battles!"

"However, it's only a probability, so don't get too excited!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

Even with such strong players like Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing, they still couldn't secure a victory?
Just how powerful are other civilizations?
……

Not far away, Sun Sheng watched the entire battle, and especially saw Lin Qi's terrifying aura, and a smile immediately appeared on his face:
"Finally exposed?"

"Lin Qi has indeed awakened a third ability!"

"So if I defeat him, it won't be considered bullying him?"

Li Tianxing, who was standing next to him, shook his head and said, "You should defeat Andrei and Augustus first."

Sun Sheng smiled confidently and said, "You're looking down on me!"

"When I went all out, Andrei and Augustus couldn't withstand my staff technique at all!"

……

Meanwhile, Lynch returned to the audience.

He was greeted by another round of noise.

Jiang Tao stared wide-eyed and leaned closer, saying, "Brother Qi, you're amazing! How did you do that?"

"That was an eighth-tier weapon! You actually shattered it!"

"Your last move was absolutely terrifying!"

Xue Zhou then asked, "Lin Qi, have you awakened a third ability?"

The others were shocked upon hearing this and looked at Lin Qi, waiting for his answer.

Lin Qi nodded and said, "That's right. Recently, I have successfully awakened my third ability."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately erupted in an uproar.

Has it really awakened again?

Dean Liu, Xue Zhou, and Mu Hong exchanged a glance, all of them shocked.

Dean Liu sighed:

"Your talent is truly getting stronger and stronger over time."

"I wonder where your limits really lie?"

Jiang Tao said excitedly, "This is great news. The stronger Brother Qi is, the brighter the future of our Blue Star civilization will be."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Lin Qi's attention was also focused on the arena, where the first two matches had already concluded.

Next up is Sun Sheng. He needs to defeat Andrei and Augustus to advance to the seventh round.

The first match was against Andrei.

He looked at Sun Sheng and stopped hiding his abilities. As soon as he entered the arena, he unleashed three abilities, demonstrating a five-fold increase in combat power.

Facing Sun Sheng's all-out attack, Andrei was killed in just a few moves, his burly body shattered and he died.

They crushed Andrei!

In the second match, Augustus faced Sun Sheng and got the same result.

In the arena
Augustus's bones were broken, and his body fell to the ground, gushing blood and losing consciousness.

Sun Sheng, carrying the gilded staff, asked curiously:

"Who do you think is stronger, me or Lynch?"

Augustus struggled to lift his head, looked at Sun Sheng, and slowly uttered two words:

"Lynch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body vanished into nothingness and disappeared into the air.
