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

Chapter 590 For the Blue Star Civilization! (Seeking monthly votes)
A moment later, Lin Qi and the other five logged off, leaving only the last 10 people.

The purple-robed overlord spoke:

"Following the strategy of Tian Ji's horse racing, we have a chance to achieve one win and one draw."

"I didn't expect that the warriors with the highest win rate would be our Sky-Soaring Realm warriors."

“There are 25 people who have awakened two abilities.”

The strongest warrior in the White Eagle Federation, the God of War, shook his head and said:

"Due to issues of population, heritage, and resources, our overall strength is still inferior to that of the Ryujin Civilization."

"Only by taking risky measures can we have a chance to win 5 games!"

After hearing this, the 10 people also sighed. They had also watched the battle video, in which there were more than a thousand, or even tens of thousands, of martial artists at the ninth realm.

They were all top geniuses in their respective civilizations.

They might be the most elite titled martial artists on Earth, but in the vast universe, they are quite ordinary.

Finally, the Crimson Emperor said earnestly:

"I believe that our Blue Star civilization will definitely win."

"I'm counting on you all for tomorrow's Fire Seed Trial!"

Everyone's expressions turned serious as they said:

"This is what we should do, for the sake of Earth's civilization!"

……

Black Dragon Base, Martial Arts Room 206

Lin Qi opened his eyes, turned off the virtual bracelet, and recalled the content and rules of the Fire Seed Trial in his mind.

Every game tomorrow is crucial; we cannot afford to lose a single one.

If they are lucky enough to win five matches in this round of the Eight Realms, they can have a tiebreaker match according to the rules.

In other words, the two civilizations' strongest geniuses will fight again, and the winner will determine the outcome of the entire game.

He is very likely to face off against Liu Ming.

He carries an even heavier burden; he is the strongest in the Eight Realms, and the final victory or defeat rests in his own hands.

The thought of Blue Star, with the fate of billions of people resting on his shoulders, made his heart beat a little faster.

"Buzz!"

Just then, his phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a file sent by Shanhewang.

[Mountain and River King: Lin Qi, tomorrow's Fire Seed Trial will not take place in the Crimson Realm, but in a completely new virtual world. Please update your virtual bracelet.]

Understand the rules and operating methods of the new virtual world.

Furthermore, those who win tomorrow's Trial of the Fire Seed will receive rewards from the Crimson Emperor.

……

After replying, Lin Qi opened the file, updated the virtual bracelet according to its contents, and began to memorize the operation.

At the same time, I remembered the rewards from the Crimson Emperor; the Qi-Opening Liquid and the Ancient Blood Vine were still very useful.

If he had more, he could open 100 acupoints even faster.

"Buzz!"

A moment later, the phone vibrated again.

When Lin Qi looked at the projector, he saw a message from his parents telling him to do his best tomorrow and not to put too much pressure on himself.

"Whoo~"

A moment later, Lin Qi took a deep breath after operating the virtual bracelet, quickly adjusted his mindset, stood up, took out his spear, and began practicing his spear techniques.

There's still some time until tomorrow, so I might as well use it for cultivation.

He will definitely win tomorrow.

It's impossible to lose.

……

Meanwhile, countless people across the entire planet Earth are also unable to sleep.

Tomorrow's Trial of the Flame is on the minds of countless people.

In the Yujing Haoting residential complex, Tianhai City, at No. 5 luxury residence.

"Tomorrow is the Fire Seed Trial, I hope Xiao Qi can win!"

In the bedroom, Fang Huiyi lay on the bed, her mind filled with thoughts of the Fire Seed Trial, too anxious to fall asleep.

Lin Zhen, who was beside him, sat up and comforted him:
"Don't worry, Xiaoqi has never let people down. He replied to me on WeChat."

"If he says he can win, he can do it!"

Fang Huiyi felt relieved after hearing this.

……

Time passed slowly, and several hours went by.

November 11, 2049 in the Martial Arts Calendar.

This day is destined to be a day that will go down in history.

The entire planet Earth, all countries, many shopping malls and factories are closed for the holidays.

As for the students, it was already summer vacation.

Most students are on summer vacation and are at home, watching videos.

"We can watch the live stream now!"

"This is the official live stream link. Click on it to see the live stream."

"It's a pity we can't afford the virtual capsules, otherwise we could watch it live."

"We, the Blue Star, must win this trial of the Fire Seed."

In an ordinary apartment, the spacious living room is filled with children of all ages sitting on the sofa.

Zhang Cheng, a man of imposing stature, was also holding a child in his arms.

His gaze was fixed on the projected live stream.

"Daddy, why hasn't the Fire Seed Trial started yet?" a five- or six-year-old girl asked in confusion.

Zhang Cheng smiled kindly and said:

"It's still a while before it starts!"

"I'll go get you snacks and drinks!"

"Great!" The children all smiled happily.

……

At the headquarters of the Akazyu Martial Arts Hall, the backstage staff were already busy.

"With one hour to go before the start of the Fire Seed Trial, the number of viewers for the live stream has already reached 10 billion, and the number is still rising."

"The number of people logging into the virtual world has reached ten million."

"too crazy!"

"The number of viewers this time is insane; there weren't even this many people in the selection process."

One of the staff members exclaimed.

The staff member next to him laughed:
"That goes without saying, the Trial of the Fire Seed is related to the fate of our Blue Star civilization."

"If we lose, the lion's share of the profits from the other world will go to the aliens, and we'll only get scraps. How can we possibly develop in the future!"

"If we can win, then it will be a completely different story."

"By connecting with the universe, we can eat meat, and perhaps we'll even have more advanced technology that will allow us to cultivate ourselves."

"Today is destined to be recorded in history."

"Red Emperor, Overlord, Mountain and River King, Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, they absolutely must win!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, silently praying for them.

……

Beijiang Province, Heilong Base, Room 206

Inside the martial arts room, a figure finished washing up.

Lin Qi changed into a clean black martial arts uniform and glanced at the time on the wall: 9:43.
"time is limited!"

He sat in the living room and pressed the loop bracelet on his left wrist.

"drop!"

A screen was projected in front of him, displaying two options.

【Crimson Realm/Fire Seed Trial】

Lin Qi clicked on "Tribute of the Fire Seed".

Then let the machine scan your body.

"Buzz!"

When I opened my eyes again, I heard a cacophony of sounds, and then the view opened up before me.

Lin Qi instantly realized that he had arrived in the audience seats of the Fire Seed Trial, and was even sitting in the front row.

He looked around and saw that the whole world was in the cosmos, with the magnificent, endless deep space above him.

The stands where they sat, and the circular arena, resembled a giant oval sphere, all suspended in the air.

The blue smart chair beneath him was very comfortable; he clenched his fist, feeling a stronger circulation than usual.

At the same time, he could see that the audience seats on the other side were completely different from theirs, and were made entirely of silver alloy.

People with brown skin kept appearing online; they had human features and different faces.

"who are they?"

"Could it be aliens?"

Lin Qi had excellent hearing and heard the questioning voices coming from the audience behind him.

Only Lin Qi recognized that the people in the opposite audience were all from the Ryujin Civilization.

Their civilized people have physical features and skin color that differ from those of the people of Earth.

"Brother Qi!"

"Lynch!"

"Brother Lin Qi!"

Just then, the others also logged on one after another: Jiang Tao, Sun Sheng, Xu Qing, and Li Tianxing.

They are all contestants in the Fire Seed Trial.

They sat in a separate area, isolated from the other audience members.

They were divided into three rows: the ninth-realm warriors sat in the first row, the eighth-realm warriors in the second row, and the seventh-realm warriors in the third row.

Looking at the audience of the Ryujin Civilization across from him, Sun Sheng couldn't help but sigh:

"I never expected that people from the Ryujin Civilization would actually go online to watch the live stream."

"The way they looked at me, as if I were a country bumpkin, made me feel uncomfortable."

Li Tianxing said, "To their Flowing Blade Civilization, their view of our Blue Star Civilization is indeed like that of city dwellers looking at people from impoverished areas."

Those around him nodded in agreement.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Augustus spoke up:

"Our opponent has logged on!"

Everyone looked across and saw that there was another unique area on the other side, with more than thirty seats, where people were logging on one after another.

Each person exuded a unique aura, with an arrogant expression and sharp eyes, looking at the crowd as if they were hunters looking at their prey.

Everyone understood that these people were their opponents in this Fire Seed Trial. Meanwhile, in the third area, there were also hundreds of seats.

They have different skin colors, different builds, different appearances, and come from different civilizations, yet they wear the same silver battle suits.

Sitting in the front row, dressed in a blue robe, with an exquisite smile, Tu Lan looked around and said meaningfully:
“It’s quite lively!”

"Today's trial of the flame is destined to be extremely exciting!"

Beside him, Tie Ran, with his red skin, shook his head and said:
"Boss, you're overthinking it. The Flowing Blade Civilization and the Blue Star Civilization are not even in the same league."

"It will definitely be a one-sided situation. I estimate that in thirty battles, their Blue Star civilization will win at most one game."

The burly man standing three meters tall next to him laughed and said, "We might not even win a single game!"

"It's probably not even as good as the battle against the Ironclad Civilization!"

"Today's Fire Seed Trial should be over in about half an hour."

Another woman spoke up. She had brown skin and a tall, wiry figure; she was a member of the Ryujin Civilization.

Beside him, the burly, silver-skinned, square-faced, and resolute-looking Taga slowly spoke:

"Most of the Fire Seed Trials are like this!"

"I have presided over 999 trials of the fire, and not a single civilization has managed a draw. Winning one is considered very good; almost all of them have been completely wiped out."

"And today's trial of the spark between the Blue Star Civilization and the Flowing Blade Civilization will be no exception."

Tu Lan, dressed in blue, simply smiled and remained silent after hearing this.

……

In the contestant seats of the Flowing Blade Civilization, the thirty geniuses were also exchanging ideas.

"Are they the natives of the Blue Star civilization?"

"His aura is too weak!"

"Today's Trial of the Fire will be broadcast live, so let them see how easily we can defeat the most elite geniuses of their civilization."

"The feeling of despair is quite interesting to think about."

The speaker was a burly, bald man who was two and a half meters tall. He grinned.

A woman not far away, with taut muscles like a cheetah and a beautiful face, spoke up:

"I reckon they'll never forget that feeling."

At this moment, she looked at the tall and handsome Liu Ming beside her, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she said:

"Liu Ming, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Don't you think we're too cruel?"

"That's the rule of the universe, and they won't die, so there's no need to feel guilty."

After hearing this, Liu Ming shook his head and said, "I just want to finish this as soon as possible and go back to cultivate."

At the same time, the Heavenly Blade Style, clad in a green robe, also appeared online.

With sharp eyes, he carefully observed the Blue Star people.

After sensing their presence, he couldn't help but shake his head; they were too weak.

It's not even as good as any random life-bearing planet they have, which at least has hundreds of thousands of cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm.

However, most of the audience members were pitifully weak.

If they lose to a civilization like that, their Flowing Blade Civilization might as well give up.

Then his gaze fell on one of them, a tall man dressed in a red robe.

The moment their eyes met, he felt as if he were enveloped by a blazing sun.
This feeling comes and goes just as quickly.

This immediately made Tianrenliu frown.

A screen was projected in front of him, displaying thirty portraits divided into three groups according to their cultivation level.

"The strongest beings of the Blue Star civilization?"

"It's really extraordinary."

……

Time passed slowly, and the audience seats gradually filled up.

Finally, the time arrived at 10:00.
"boom!!"

A massive blue beam of light shot into the sky above the circular arena.

The beam of light instantly transformed into a massive figure.

"here we go!"

In the audience, countless people watched this scene in awe.

Tag's figure was projected, exuding an imposing aura without anger, as heavy as the earth, instantly silencing the audience.

"Everyone!"

"I am a deacon from the Deep Space Branch of the Blazing Sun Starfield, and I am also in charge of presiding over the Flame Seed Trial. My name is Taga!"

He spoke in the universal language.

The audience on Earth looked puzzled.

Fortunately, the pop-up screen in front of them automatically translated Taga's words into various languages.

"Deep Space Institute?"

"The Blazing Sun Starfield?"

"deacon?"

The continuous appearance of new terms puzzled everyone, but they understood the last host; just from the name, they felt he was an important person.

Lin Qi has now learned the universal language in just one month and can understand what Tagar is saying.

He kept in mind what the other person said.

Taja's voice resounded in everyone's ears.

"This trial of the spark is being hosted by our Deep Space Institute, with the two sides being the Blue Star Civilization and the Flowing Blade Civilization."

"According to the Cosmic Genius Act, both parties must strictly abide by the rules throughout the process. Any violation will result in immediate disqualification and a loss."

At this point, his tone became serious, and a terrifying pressure was released, pressing down on everyone.

The expressions of the ninth-realm warriors, including the Crimson Emperor, the God of War, and the Overlord, immediately turned solemn.

The Crimson Emperor said solemnly, "This steward is very strong, at least a powerful being at the second level of the Universe Realm."

Lin Qi also felt a momentary suffocation.

However, this feeling comes and goes quickly.

Looking at the audience, many people were pale and looked shaken.

Tagar withdrew his oppressive aura and continued speaking:

"The rules for this Fire Seed Trial are a ten-person competition, divided into three levels: Blood Exchange Realm, Acupoint Refining Realm, and Sky Soaring Realm. Each level is divided into three rounds, with ten matches in each round, and the number of wins determines the ranking."

"Both sides can freely choose their attack order, and each player can only attack once, until they kill the other."

"The first round is a blood exchange phase. Players from both sides, please prepare yourselves!"

"I hereby declare the Trial of the Flame officially commence!"

After Tag finished speaking, he raised his hand and a vortex of stars condensed, transforming into a large blue screen.

The large screen displayed the names of two civilizations.

[First round of the Blood Transformation Realm: ...]

In the stands of Ryujin Civilization.

A screen popped up in front of Tianrenliu, and he turned to the last 10 contestants, saying:
"In the original order, for the first match, Liuqu, you're up!"

A lean, muscular man with a buzz cut and a scar on his face slowly stood up.

"Let me give everyone a great start in the first game!"

After he finished speaking, his body transformed into a blue pillar of light and shot into the sky.

……

At the same time, two avatars and names popped up on the big screen.

[Blood Transformation Realm Match 1: Liu Qu (Liu Ren) VS Knox (Blue Star)]

……

"Knox, you're up for the first game!"

In the audience seats of Blue Star, the strongest person in the Bear Kingdom, the Ice and Snow Emperor, turned his head and spoke. In the third row, a burly man slowly stood up.

"Ula!"

He nodded to the Ice and Snow Emperor in the first row, shouted loudly, and then transformed into a blue pillar of light that descended and soared into the sky.

"boom!!"

The magnificent arena has a floor made of a special blue-silver alloy.

Two beams of light descended, and 30 seconds later, two figures slowly emerged from them.

Liu Qu was wearing a black battle armor, a style quite different from the armor worn by Blue Star.

Knox also stepped out from the opposite side, wearing blue armor and wielding a warhammer, exuding a powerful aura!
Liu Qu raised his sword, pointed it at Knox, and laughed:
"Big oaf, today I'll show you the power of our Flowing Blade Civilization."

You'll remember this for the rest of your life.

Knox listened

[Countdown: ... 3, 2, 1]

[The first competition in the Blood Transformation Realm has officially begun!]

……

Above the arena, an AI-powered female voice announced the start of the competition without any emotion.

"Knox!!"

"Defeat him!!"

"come on!!"

The next instant, a deafening roar of cheers erupted from the stands.

The audience, especially those from Russia, cheered enthusiastically.

From the audience, Sun Sheng began to speak:

"Knox from the Bear Country, he is a genius who has awakened two abilities."

"I wonder if we can defeat the opponents of the Ryujin Civilization."

Jiang Tao said solemnly, "I have read Liu Qu's information. He is the weakest in the Blood Exchange Realm among the Liu Ren Civilization, so he is the first to appear."

"If we lose the first match, it will be difficult for the rest!"

Everyone nodded, their eyes fixed on the arena.

Lin Qi watched the two quietly. As soon as the battle began, the two unleashed terrifying auras.

Knox charged out from his spot, wielding his warhammer like a giant bear, and brought it crashing down.

Double-layered patterns appeared on his body.

Upon seeing this, Liu Qu immediately showed a surprised expression and said:
"Two abilities? How is that possible?"

"call!"

However, he quickly regained his senses, brandished his battle sword, and two layers of patterns appeared, transforming into a gust of wind and disappearing from the spot.

"Dang~"

The battle was about to begin; their weapons clashed, creating a powerful gust of energy.
