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

Chapter 588 Killer Move - Iron Prison (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Sun Sheng quickly climbed out of the pit, his arms trembling uncontrollably.

My muscles throbbed with a tingling, numb sensation, and a sweet taste rose in my throat. Blood began to trickle from the corner of my mouth, its taste thick with the metallic tang of blood.

Of course, none of this could suppress the shock in his heart.

"Lynch has become even stronger!"

This is what Sun Sheng was thinking, compared to a month ago.

He became stronger. After consuming a bottle of Qi-boosting liquid and ancient blood vine, his physical attributes, staff skills, and movement techniques were all greatly improved.

They have already successfully hunted down level nine calamity beasts.

However, he felt even greater pressure than before when he faced Lynch.

As I grew stronger, so did Lin Qi.

And damn it, Lin Qi's progress was even faster than his own.

It's like I increased my strength by 100 units, while Lynch increased it by a full 150 units, or even more.

Lin Qi brandished his black and gold spear and laughed loudly:

"Sun Sheng, your strength has improved considerably in just one month!"

"I've been fighting you for about ten minutes now, it's time to end this battle!"

"You should just stick to being second place!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Sheng gritted his teeth, brandished his gilded staff, and said, "Who will win and who will lose is still unknown!"

After he finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, and he began to unleash his killing move!
Lin Qi shook his head inwardly, and at the same time began to unleash the "World-Destroying Spear Manual".

A terrifying aura was released, and the powerful energy surrounding the spear suddenly burst forth.

Golden Edge Five Forms - Sky-Splitting Form!

"Bang!!"

The two unleashed their deadly attacks, creating an explosion—it was the same move they used all at once.

Once the energy storm and dust dissipated, Sun Sheng's golden armor was pierced, and he collapsed to the ground, vanishing into nothingness.

[Ranking Match #9: Lynch (Xia Guo) wins!]

……

Above the arena, an AI voice announced the final result emotionlessly.

"Bah bang bang!!"

Thunderous applause and tsunami-like shouts erupted from the audience.

"That's incredible! No wonder he's the Golden Emperor!"

"He's even stronger than he is on the battlefield. With him around, the Trial of the Eighth Realm is truly something to look forward to!"

"The gap between geniuses at the seventh realm and those at the eighth realm is too great!"

"A genius with three abilities, what an enviable talent! I wish I had that talent too!"

……

In the audience, Sun Sheng was teleported back and fell silent.

Li Tianxing laughed from the side:

"It seems my judgment was correct; you are indeed no match for Lin Qi!"

"Lynch has become even stronger!"

"Compared to Liu Ming, he's not bad either!"

"Even when facing the three galaxy-level geniuses of the Flowing Blade Civilization, he still has a chance of winning."

Upon hearing this, Sun Sheng looked up and exclaimed, "Lin Qi is a monster!"

"I'm convinced now!"

"Let him deal with Liu Ming."

Li Tianxing nodded. Both of them, geniuses, were completely convinced of Lin Qi's defeat.

……

"Clap!!"

Not far away in the front row, the ninth-realm martial artists were also applauding.

The purple-robed overlord's eyes lit up and he said, "Lin Qi is quite good. His current strength is terrifying."

"Do you think they can defeat the three galaxy-level geniuses of the Flowing Blade Civilization, especially Flowing Light?"

King Shanhe also spoke up, "I think there's hope, but we'll have to fight to find out who wins and who loses."

Finally, the Crimson Emperor, seated in the middle, also spoke:

"With Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing around, there is hope for the Eighth Realm!"

"Our only hope lies in the Eighth and Ninth Realms!"

……

"Fellow martial artists!"

The Mountain and River King projected himself again, looking at the boiling audience, and displayed a list. He announced loudly:
"I hereby declare the Eight Realms Ranking Battle over. This is the final list and rankings."

"The Trial of the Fire Seed will officially begin at 10:00 AM on August 11th. Please be prepared!"

After making the announcement, the Mountain and River King vanished into particles of light and shadow.

Other martial artists also began to log off one after another.

……

Black Dragon Base, Martial Arts Room 206

"Buzz!"

Lin Qi opened his eyes, and the white photon blood on his body began to flow back into the virtual bracelet. He pressed the switch.

"The Fire Seed Trial begins the day after tomorrow!"

Lin Qi took out his phone and projected a large green screen.

Click on the video file of Liu Ming to open the last scene.

The battle between Liu Ming and the star system-level genius of the Tie Gang civilization was also the one that took him the longest.

He watched every day for a month and gained a full understanding of Liu Ming's strength.

He looked at his own panel again.

Name: Lin Qi

[Template: Erlang Shen - Yang Jian]

[Compatibility: 42.5%]

[Mental Strength: 35000 (Eighth Realm)]

[Qi and Blood Value: 31000 (Eight Realms)]

[Gun Skill: Tier 5, 55%]

[Agility: Rank 5, 48%]

……

He focused his attention on marksmanship, and in less than a month, he improved his progress by another 5%.

The difference between He Liuming's swordsmanship and that of He Liuming is no longer significant.

With my talent, defeating my opponent shouldn't be a problem.

He then shook his head vigorously to dispel the thought.

Liu Ming is a galaxy-level genius; in just one month, he might have improved even further.

If you hold onto the same mindset as before, you are very likely to lose.

I must become stronger!

Lin Qi made up his mind, his spatial bracelet lit up, and a black box appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"Om!!"

Upon opening it, a section of the ancient blood vine was revealed. He grabbed it, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew it vigorously.

He was already an eighth-level martial artist, and his teeth had been replaced, giving him an amazing bite force.

The original ancient blood vine required grinding its components and taking it with water, but he found that too troublesome and preferred to take it directly.

"Crack!!"

Lynch felt like he was chewing on a twig, enduring a strange taste, and finally swallowing it.

He then took out a bottle of energy drink and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he stood up, and a black and gold spear appeared out of thin air in his hand, weighing a full 10000 kilograms, or 10 tons.

"Xiao Chan, activate the gravity system, 120 times!"

"Okay, master!"

Xiao Chan, dressed in blue, slowly spoke, her eyes shining brightly. She activated the gravity function, and on the large screen of the gravity table in the corner, the gravity multiplier continuously increased, finally stopping when it reached "120".

"Buzz!"

An invisible force of gravity, like a wave, swept in from the corner and quickly enveloped every corner of Lynch.

Lin Qi gripped the gun so tightly that the veins bulged instantly; the 10-ton gun now weighed 1200 tons.

Under 120 times the force of gravity, the heart begins to beat faster, and all the cells in the body involuntarily begin to boil, fighting against the omnipresent gravity.

Lynch was already feeling unwell; he was very familiar with this feeling.

He adjusted his breathing, and his whole body radiated golden light. His internal energy circulated within him, and the discomfort began to dissipate.

The ninth-tier spear in his hand also felt much lighter.

"Hoohoo!!"

He began practicing with a gun, unleashing the "World-Destroying Gun Manual".

The plan is to utilize the combined effects of the gravity chamber and the ancient blood vine to maximize the improvement of marksmanship.

"Boohoo!!"

Under 120 times the force of gravity, his gun could no longer thrust at the speed of sound because it was too heavy.

Each swing of the spear consumes a tremendous amount of energy.

He began to unleash the "Golden Light Scroll," gripping the spear with both hands, his muscles bulging, veins standing out, and blood flowing rapidly, appearing like golden-red blood within the golden patterns on the surface.

An invisible golden domain spread out, resisting the surrounding gravity.

Improve through competition!

Stimulating his body's instincts under gravity, Lin Qi felt changes in his 70 acupoints, releasing a large amount of source energy.

It is converted into the source energy needed by the body, causing the body to heat up, and fatigue to come and go quickly.

"call!!"

In a short while, his face turned red, and sweat seeped from his pores, sliding down his cheeks and sprinkling onto the ground.

A wave of coolness washed over my brain.

"Comfortable!"

Lynch felt a surge of relief in his brain, like a rusty machine being lubricated and able to run more smoothly.

And the running speed is getting faster and faster, in both eyes, the [Golden Eyes] are activated.

The world became clear in his eyes, and the trajectory of his marksmanship became apparent.

A flood of insights instantly surged through his mind.

The ancient blood vine is working!
This feeling...

Lin Qi couldn't help but feel his blood boil; the effects of the Ancient Blood Vine were too powerful. He felt he had grasped the essence of it. (The scrolls mentioned: *Golden Light Scroll*, *Diamond Scroll*, *Golden Edge Scroll*)

He demonstrated all three spear techniques one by one, gaining new insights with each demonstration and making new changes to the way he exerted force.

As his methods of exerting force improved, the cells in his body became more active, and under his guidance, more cells came under his control.

"Buzz!!"

The golden domain enveloped the entire martial arts room, and the cutting power within it continued to grow stronger.

Any creature that appears in it can be instantly cut into pieces if he so desires.

"The effects of the Ancient Blood Vine last for 12 hours, I need to hurry!"

Lin Qi continued wielding his spear, relentlessly unleashing the "Golden Edge Scroll" and the "Diamond Scroll."

My understanding of two of the volumes is also constantly improving.

Sea-Slaying Style, Army-Breaking Style, Sky-Splitting Style, Heaven-Shaking Style, Sun-Piercing Style!

"boom!!"

"laugh!"

Jin Feng unleashed his five techniques, constantly changing the way he exerted force, and the power of his spear technique continuously increased.

The gun trembled, the shockwaves intensifying.

"That's the feeling..."

Lynch felt his marksmanship was improving significantly.

He devoted himself entirely to marksmanship.

……

Meanwhile, 210 indoor
In the living room, Jiang Tao opened his eyes, deactivated his spatial bracelet, and looked excited:
"So that's how it is! The Crimson Emperor's rewards are indeed so generous!"

"Ancient Blood Vine, after consumption, can greatly enhance comprehension."

"No wonder everyone's martial arts skills have improved significantly."

"My swordsmanship is currently at the fourth level of perfection, but I'm still a little short of it!"

"Perhaps this can help me achieve perfection, or even break through to the fifth rank!"

He clenched his fist. If he had a fifth-level sword technique, he would be even more confident in defeating his opponent in the Fire Seed Trial.

Thinking of this, he immediately got up and went into the martial arts room to prepare his condition, as the Ancient Blood Vine would be delivered in the afternoon.

He can start taking the ancient blood vine in the morning.

……

11 PM, Martial Arts Room 206

Eleven hours have passed.

On the large screen of the gravity system, the number 120 is particularly eye-catching.

An invisible wave of gravity pressed down on the martial arts room.

A figure wielded a large spear; golden energy flowed nimbly across the black and gold spear like a liquid.

At the same time, a wisp of golden thread condensed at the tip of the spear, spreading to every corner, and an invisible golden blade cut through the air.

"Om!!"

"Tick!"

The dripping sweat was instantly cut off and turned into water vapor.

Lin Qi lost track of time, completely absorbed in the world of marksmanship.

He brandished the spear, locking it at his waist and spinning it rapidly, creating a circle through continuous swinging.

Finally, the flow of internal energy, through a special exertion, condensed into a golden protective shield.

This metal shield separates itself from the outside world.

In his eyes, the metal shield became increasingly tight, and its defensive capabilities continued to improve.

It can defend against all physical and energy attacks, while the shockwaves swirl around it like waves.

Become!

Lin Qi was overjoyed. With this move, he could defend against any counterattack.

The ultimate move of the "World-Destroying Gun Manual"—Iron Prison!
He has now mastered the Iron Prison, the ultimate move from the Diamond Scroll.

Lin Qi continued to exert his power, layering it upon layer, as if accumulating strength, which he then released.

"boom!!"

In an instant, terrifying energy burst forth, and a powerful shockwave swept outwards, creating an energy storm!
[You have consumed the Ancient Blood Vine, temporarily and significantly boosting your comprehension. You have gained new insights into the spear technique "World-Destroying Spear Manual" and successfully mastered the "Diamond Scroll" killing move - Iron Prison. Spear technique +6%]

[Gun Technique: Tier 5 55% → Tier 5 61%]

……

The entire martial arts room fell silent again. Lin Qi gripped his spear tightly, slamming the butt of the spear onto the ground.

"Whoo~"

Lin Qi was panting heavily, looking exhausted, but his eyes were shining.

"It's done!"

Looking at the information on the panel, Lin Qi realized that after several hours of training, he had successfully broken through to the late stage of the fifth rank in marksmanship!
And he successfully mastered the killing move of the Diamond Scroll!
This deadly move, besides being defensive, can also be used to deflect attacks; the powerful shockwave is quite formidable.

This move was specifically prepared for Liu Ming.

The opponent is very fast. With this move, he can defend against most of the opponent's moves and then counterattack to inflict damage.

Finally, kill the opponent as quickly as possible.

Once this combo is unleashed, neither Sun Sheng nor Li Tianxing can withstand it.

Lin Qi had already rehearsed countless methods in his mind in order to defeat Liu Ming.

The opponent knows nothing about you, while you have already watched many of their match videos.

From any perspective, his chances of winning are very high.

Feeling physically exhausted, he opened the refrigerator and took out an energy drink.

I drank 10 bottles in a row and glanced at the time.

It was already 8 p.m., and there were still two hours left for the effects of the Ancient Blood Vine to take hold.

"Now that my marksmanship has improved, it's time to work on my movement techniques!"

Lynch regained his body, and streams of heat flowed from 70 acupoints, relieving his muscle fatigue.

He trained continuously for 10 hours in an environment with 120 times the gravity, and he still hadn't reached his physical limit, which can only mean that his current physique is too strong and his recovery ability is amazing.

"Whoosh~"

He gripped the gun with both hands and began practicing the movement technique "Nine Flashes of Thunder" in the martial arts room.

In an instant, he left seven afterimages in his place, his whole body like a golden lightning bolt, shuttling through the room.

……

Universe Virtual Network
Deep Space Institute, Lieyang Star Region Branch

Beneath the vast, boundless starry sky, there stands a giant, deep blue spire that seems to soar into the heavens.

The spire connects the starry sky with the earth, and neon lights illuminate the entire building!

Inside a spacious office in the spire.

On the deep blue sofa, Tian Renliu, dressed in a green robe, sat.

Opposite him sat two people, both dressed in blue robes.

One was a Tulan patrol officer with delicate features, and the other was a burly man with gray skin, exuding an aura of steely hardness.

He slowly opened his mouth and said:

"I am Taga, the deacon of the Blazing Sun Star Region Branch, in charge of this Fire Seed Trial between the Flowing Blade Civilization and the Blue Star Civilization!"

"This trial of the Flame will take place tomorrow at 10:00 AM on Blue Star Civilization!"

"We will create a separate competitive world that you can access through virtual devices."

"At the same time, the rules for the Fire Seed Trial have been randomly selected."

After he finished speaking, a panel was instantly projected in front of him, which contained the competition rules of the Fire Seed Trial.

With his sharp eyes, Tianrenliu understood the rules in a single glance:
"I understand. Our Flowing Blade Civilization will be online on time."

Tagia continued to Tulan, "Tulan, inform the Blue Star civilization of the rules and precautions."

"Everyone must abide by the rules of the Deep Space Institute. Violation of the rules will result in consequences!"

Tu Lan said solemnly, "I understand, Deacon Taga."

Then Taga turned to Tianrenliu and said:
"Congratulations on winning the Trial of the Fire Seed. Your Flowing Blade Civilization will rise to prominence in the future."

"A million years from now, we may have a chance to become a medium-level civilization."

Tianrenliu calmly said, "For us, these are all things of the future."

"Our most important task right now is to win the Trial of the Fire."

Deacon Taga said, "The Fire Seed Trial is just a formality; the Blue Star civilization cannot win."

Upon hearing this, Tu Lan frowned but remained silent.

……

On a certain island suspended in a sea of ​​clouds, on a calm land, the Heavenly Blade Stream emerged.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the panel projected in front of him, which contained the rules of the Fire Seed Trial.

"As expected, it's a one-on-one battle between two civilizations. Under these rules, our Flowing Blade Civilization cannot possibly lose."

A moment later, a tall figure appeared out of thin air, wearing a blue armor and, like the Heavenly Blade Style, had a pair of sharp eyes.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Liu Ming asked:

Tianrenliu nodded and said:

"The time, location, and rules for the Fire Seed Trial have been released, and I will send them to you later."

"This trial of the spark is very important; it can help our civilization accelerate its rise."

Liu Ming nodded confidently and said, "Our Liuren Civilization will surely prevail!"

Tianrenliu nodded, looked at the sky, and suddenly sighed:
"The universe is the most ruthless place; the strong prey on the weak, and those without strength will perish."

"The weak submit to the strong!"

"Powerful civilizations exploit and drain the lifeblood of weaker civilizations."

"Back when our Flowing Blade civilization was just beginning to develop martial arts, we were discovered by the Deep Space Institute when we were only at the highest level of Skin Refining. We suffered a crushing defeat in the Fire Seed Trial and were deemed to have the potential of a low-level civilization."

"In the face of brutal exploitation, our Flowing Blade civilization has endured humiliation and hardship!"

"Fortunately, the people of our civilization are quite talented. In just 30000 years, we have developed to our current scale, and our civilization's potential has been reassessed!"

"Now it's our turn to support civilization."

"We have also become a civilization of exploitation, exploiting other civilizations to strengthen our own."

"This has always been the rule of the universe!"

After listening, Liu Ming calmly said:

"Our Flowing Blade Civilization will continue to grow stronger."
