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

Chapter 608 Rebuilding the Foundation and Achieving a 500-Game Winning Streak! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Lynch felt he needed to find a way to earn more Deep Space Coins.

He sat cross-legged and began to recall what Fuqiquan had said over the past few hours, a wealth of valuable information.

Then I clicked to enter my personal center and sure enough, I saw the five books I had purchased.

He was the first to open—"The Catalogue of All Races in the Universe".

He didn't know enough about the universe. Of all the races in the universe, he only knew that the human race, the demon race, and the insect race were among the top races.

"Buzz!"

Soon, a black Rubik's Cube appeared out of thin air, transforming into a thick book. Lin Qi opened it and began to browse through it.

Recorded in a universal script, accompanied by a large number of 3D images.

Soon, Lin Qi became completely absorbed in it.

"What kind of race is this? How can they be so strong?"

"To have the strength of the third realm of the universe as an adult is truly an enviable racial talent. Many adults of our human race haven't even reached the second realm!"

"The demon race is that powerful? And the insect race shouldn't be underestimated either."

"And then there's the dragon race, which originally belonged to the demon race and is the strongest among the demons."

"Later, they actually separated from the demon race and became incredibly powerful, capable of contending with any race. Among the dragon race, the top beings are already at the third level of the universe upon adulthood. Heaven is truly unfair!"

"There are also these races, which, although few in number, can all reach the second level of the universe after reaching adulthood and enjoy a long life of tens of thousands of years."

"..."

Looking at the "Illustrated Catalogue of the Myriad Races of the Universe," Lin Qi felt his eyes were opened, and he gained a preliminary understanding of the various races in the entire universe.

Then he opened "Detailed Explanation of the Lieyang Starfield Map"

It describes in detail the entire Lieyang Starfield, including the number of star systems and the civilization that controls each star system.

A moment later, he saw his own Blue Star civilization.

[Blue Star Civilization: Originating from the Milky Way galaxy in a lost star system, bordering the Triangulum system, with few habitable planets, a rudimentary civilization, they defeated the Flowing Blade Civilization in the Trial of the Fire Seed, possessing the potential for an advanced civilization...]

……

Lin Qi shook his head after reading it; this was all the information about their Blue Star civilization had to offer.

He looked at the rulers of the Triangulum Galaxy; the introduction to the Triangulum civilization was tens of thousands of words long.

He closed the books. The two books contained far more content than what was presented. It would take him some time to read them all.

Finally, he clicked on "Basic Cosmic Shooting Techniques".

The blue Rubik's Cube transformed into a secret manual as thick as a brick.

Lin Qi began to manually flip through the pages, using the text and pictures to aid his understanding.

This is a summary of marksmanship, not only of the Blazing Sun Academy, but also of the top forces among all the human races in the entire universe.

Lin Qi's eyes lit up as he read the simple page.

"There are actually 1,001 basic marksmanship techniques, which is far more than our Blue Star civilization."

"These basic moves can actually be performed like this? It's completely contrary to human anatomy!"

"No, although we are all human, the physical structures of many civilizations are different."

Lin Qi placed his hands on the manual and began to ponder it silently.

Some of his movements lacked a corresponding structure, making them impossible for him to execute.

But the others are different.

Lin Qi felt his eyes were opened. In the cosmic arena, because of his superb physical abilities, he killed many opponents instantly.

Therefore, even if the opponent's marksmanship is very exquisite, the damage caused is not significant.

Lin Qi looked at the more than one thousand basic techniques and memorized them all.

At the same time, he recalled the "World-Destroying Gun Manual," which contained more than thirty moves that did not exist on Earth.

He thought it was unique to the manual, but now it seems to be the foundation of marksmanship in the universe.

Besides the basic moves, there are other ways to generate power, and these are the key.

It opened Lin Qi's eyes to a whole new world; it contained power exertion methods he could never have imagined.

He didn't know how long he read it, but he finished reading the entire manual, which contained tens of millions of words, in one go.

Each move and technique is explained in detail.

"Whoo~"

"Buzz!"

A black spear appeared out of thin air in Lin Qi's hand, and he began to use the basic moves from "The Fundamentals of Cosmic Gun Techniques".

Block, seize, stab, chop, collapse, pick, sweep, stab, stab, entangle, point...

These basic moves are universal; a slight variation results in a new move, and the body moves in accordance with the execution of the gun technique.

The muscles in my arms, waist, legs, and body, and even the cells, began to activate.

"Boohoo!!"

"laugh!!"

The gun thrust out, piercing and tearing through the air, creating gusts of strong wind.

Basic moves can be combined to form entirely new moves for attacking and defending.

Then, by exerting different forces, mobilizing cells, and circulating the combined energy, a series of spear techniques are formed.

Lin Qi then unleashed a series of all the basic moves.

Sure enough, I found that many basic moves were not suitable for me and could be eliminated.

Through the drills, he gained new insights into marksmanship.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, a golden domain was released from his body, and he began to unleash the "World-Destroying Spear Manual".

Now, when I use the three volumes of this spear technique again, I immediately feel a completely new sensation.

"It's different now!"

"Your marksmanship has improved!"

Lin Qi felt that his skill level had not improved, but his marksmanship had become much easier.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

Golden Light Sixty-Hit Combo!

The tip of the gun pierced the air, as if it had been pierced through countless holes.

With the same physical attributes, Lin Qi felt he could now unleash a sixty-hit combo.

Next are the "Diamond Scroll" and the "Golden Edge Scroll".

The three scrolls were used in succession, the internal energy flowed, the cells became active, and they operated wildly.

The 75 acupoints that had been opened up quickly emerged.

Like 75 golden vortexes, the surrounding cells are also affected, becoming abnormally active, with blood and qi flowing and connecting to the body's acupoints.

Lin Qi tried to follow Fu Quan's instructions, mobilizing the cell vitality of the acupoints and stimulating the power of the area along a specific trajectory.

"Buzz!!"

"laugh!"

The black spear slammed into the metal ground as if it had been smashed, unleashing a terrifying shockwave.

"Crack!"

The metal floor shattered, forming a spiderweb-like crack that stretched for 10 meters before stopping.

Lin Qi looked around and saw that the ground of the training ground had formed a huge crack with a radius of 10 meters.

"Zheng——!"

Lin Qi holstered his gun and looked at the control panel.

[You have studied "Cosmic Gun Techniques Fundamentals," which has supplemented your basics and greatly improved your understanding of gun techniques. Gun Technique +3%]

[Gun Technique: Tier 5 63% → Tier 5 66%]

……

Seeing his improved marksmanship, Lin Qi immediately smiled with excitement.

"A 3% improvement? That's a significant increase!"

He thought of other geniuses in the Blue Star civilization, whose martial arts skills would be greatly improved by supplementing their basic skills.

Perhaps Shanhe Wang and the others will also have a chance to break through to the sixth tier of skills in the Sky Soaring Realm.

“This is just the beginning!”

Lin Qi gripped his rifle tightly. He had already gained so much on his first day of class.

He will improve even more after attending a few more classes.

Perhaps once he breaks through to the Sky-Soaring Realm, he will be able to start striving for the sixth-order spear technique.

Heilong Base, Room 206.

"Buzz!"

On the soft black sofa, Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes, took out his phone and realized that a whole day, or 24 hours, had passed.

He attended classes, purchased the secret manuals, studied four manuals, and practiced his marksmanship.

It was a very fulfilling day.

"The time spent cultivating is getting longer and longer."

"In the virtual world of the universe, it is difficult to feel the passage of time."

"Perhaps for some powerful individuals, a single cultivation session can take several months, or even several years."

"The next step is to figure out a way to achieve a 500-win streak before the Flowing Blade Civilization arrives. That's worth 50000 Deep Space Coins!"

"That's enough for me to buy even more Qi-clearing liquid!"

Lynch quickly formulated a plan in his mind.

Then he went to his bedroom to sleep. He kept his mind focused during his practice, and he could relax his body and mind through sleep.

Even many top-tier experts, who possess unparalleled power, occasionally relax or fall asleep.

……

August 15, 2049 (Martial Arts Calendar)

High school students across Xia Kingdom have been in school for half a month.

In the virtual space of the universe, in personal space
On the training ground, a figure darted about like lightning. Several large, black, modified machine guns appeared out of thin air, firing golden bullets.

"Da da da!!"

The gun fired, and countless bullets poured out wildly. Lin Qi used his movement skills to nimbly dodge the incoming bullets.

In his eyes, the trajectories of dozens of bullets slowed down, and he easily dodged them.

Like an electric current, his figure can appear in every corner.

No matter how many bullets were fired, they could not affect him.

"stop!"

All the machine guns stopped, and Lin Qi's movements also came to a halt.

[You have cultivated the "Fundamentals of Cosmic Movement Techniques," gaining new insights into movement techniques. Your movement technique has been greatly enhanced, increasing by 3%.]

[Agility: Rank 5 57% → Rank 5 60%]

"...His movement technique has also broken through to the late stage of the fifth rank!"

Lin Qi nodded as he looked at the improvement in his movement technique.

After reading "The Fundamentals of Cosmic Body Techniques", he gained a new understanding of the human body.

In particular, the movement of the body and the combination with the surrounding space allow the ability to evade to the extreme.

There are even methods that mobilize leg cells to exert force, greatly improving the body's flexibility and breaking through the constraints of gravity.

"Now that my skill level has improved, it's time to achieve a 500-game winning streak."

Lin Qi clicked on his personal panel and entered the Cosmic Arena.

[Start matching!]

【Successful match! 】

The next instant, Lin Qi's body disappeared from the spot.

……

half an hour later

On the spacious white arena.

The two figures clashed violently, and a powerful energy gust swept around them.

Golden sharpness and crimson flames clashed, unleashing the power of both domains. The terrifying force caused cracks to appear in the hard ground.

"Is this a 6-star combat power?"

The burly man in black armor looked incredulous, and in the next instant, a black spear pierced his chest.

[Match 499: Yang Jian wins!]

……

In his personal center, Lin Qi looked at the pop-up message on the screen and thought to himself:
"As expected, the system won't let anyone easily achieve a 500-game winning streak."

"Only 499 matches have passed, and there are already opponents with 8-star combat power!"

"The next opponent will probably be even stronger. It would be a shame if they were a 9-star opponent."

Lin Qi shook his head and chose to continue matching.

[Start matching!]

[Note: You have achieved a 499-game winning streak. With just one more game, you will reach 500 consecutive wins. Please prepare accordingly.]

[A large audience will be watching your performance.]

Lin Qi was puzzled when he saw this: the Cosmic Martial Arts Arena even has a live streaming mode?

He only appeared once before in the Crimson Realm, which shows that the universe is more advanced. After all, there are too many humans, so more forms of entertainment need to be created.

Watching the clash of geniuses is also a form of entertainment for many people.

【Successful match! 】

In the three seconds he was thinking, the system completed the matching, and Lin Qi's figure disappeared from his personal space.

……

The Cosmic Arena has a live streaming function.

However, most of the battle scenes went unseen.

In contrast, viewers prefer to watch clashes between geniuses with 8-star or even 9-star combat power.

Meanwhile, in the Blazing Sun Starfield, on countless planets, many viewers received push notifications of big data from the cosmic martial arts arena.

"Someone's going to take on a 500-game winning streak challenge, I'm in for a shot!"

"Another genius has appeared! I wonder which civilization he's from!"

"Go and see!"

……

This is a steel ruin, with a strong stench of blood lingering in the air.

The surrounding area was filled with dilapidated buildings, firearms, and cracks that had appeared on the hard metal ground.

Two figures appeared out of thin air, two warriors dressed in armor and holding weapons, staring at each other.

Tal's eyes were fixed on the opponent's information.

"Yang Jian? What a strange name."

"100% win rate, 6-star combat power!"

"I understand. It seems I've been chosen to be this genius's obstacle."

"Wearing a mask, he seems to be a weak genius!"

A large screen appeared in the sky, with countless bullet comments refreshing on it, displaying the number of viewers in real time, but it did not surge upwards.

In just a few seconds, the number of people had reached 300 million!

"They're here! And why are some people wearing masks!"

"What era are we living in? It's no big deal to show your true face. Anyway, nobody knows which planet you're from."

"And if he reveals his true face, he'll be handsome, and might even have fans!"

"His opponent is actually Tal, a genius from the Wan Hai Society, a top force in our Canglan Star System."

"Looking at the galaxy, it already possesses 8-star combat power."

"But this genius only has a 6-star combat power, how can we fight him?"

"They're not even in the same league!"

Lin Qi also saw the large screen above his head and saw the opponent's information.

Nickname: Tal

Win rate: 90% (4500 wins, 500 losses)

[Combat Strength: 8 stars]

……

Azure Star System, All Seas Meet...

It seems the other party is also a genius from a top-tier power.

Tal is 2.1 meters tall, with a robust build, gray skin, a bald head, and wears blue armor. He wields a dark blue spear in one hand.

A strong and domineering aura emanated from him.

Lin Qi felt as if he were facing a raging storm.

Tal looked at Lynch, his blue spear pointed directly at him, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Brother, this 500-game winning streak is coming to an end for me!"

Lin Qi gripped the black and gold spear tightly with one hand and said calmly:

"You can try!"

Tal gripped the gun with both hands and laughed:
"You're very confident!"

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

[The martial arts arena competition has officially begun!]

A smart female voice suddenly rang out in the sky.

"boom!"

The tall Tal's bare skin instantly revealed three layers of blue patterns, and a dazzling blue light emanated from his body.

The surrounding air instantly became humid, and layers of water vapor rose from the ruins.

"A galaxy-level genius, only has an 8-star combat power?"

Lin Qi, hiding behind the mask, raised an eyebrow. He was lucky to have encountered a galaxy-level genius with 8-star combat power.

An 8-star combat power is either a genius at the peak of the eighth realm who has awakened two abilities.

Either they are galaxy-level geniuses who haven't yet unlocked all their potential.

Among them, galaxy-level geniuses are even stronger because they have a 5x increase in combat power!
The opponent has fewer matches than expected, and their strength is definitely greater than anticipated.

"boom!"

Tal was the first to attack. His azure spear energy instantly condensed into a shark as he swung his spear!
Like a raging torrent of water, the water instantly enveloped the surrounding ruins.

He dashed off from the spot, leaving deep footprints and cracks in the hard ground.

"Come die!"

"Whoosh!!"

The sound of the water rushing and the wind whistling together created an incredibly fast impact!
"boom!"

In an instant, Lin Qi also brandished his black and gold spear and charged forward, three layers of golden patterns appearing and a golden aura erupting.

The Golden Emperor's Qi circulated, and the surrounding air condensed into invisible blades, cutting wildly.

The atmosphere in the air was extremely oppressive.

In the center of the ruined arena, both sides thrust out their spears with a thunderous roar, exchanging dozens of thrusts in an instant!
"Clang clang clang!!"

With astonishing strength, the two sides clashed spear tips, and all the power, impact, and shockwaves exploded through the spear tips.

The giant shark and the golden blade collided, creating an energy storm, and the powerful shockwaves spread outwards like waves.

In the violent impact, the two figures were forced to retreat backward.

“Bang bang!!”

With each step Tal took, a deep footprint was left on the ground.

He looked at Lin Qi across from him, and his initial contempt turned serious.

"So he's a galaxy-level genius too!"

"No wonder they were able to reach 500 wins; the 6-star power level is too deceptive."

He was enveloped in the swirling water, looking at Lin Qi opposite him, feeling the other's strength in his arms.

This is a formidable opponent.

As a genius of the Wan Hai Society, a galaxy-level genius, Tar has now opened 80 acupoints.

He already possesses extremely strong combat power even before he has reached his peak.

He is a rising star in the Wan Hai Club.

He had a premonition that if he could defeat Yang Jian, he might immediately advance to a 9-star combat power!
Lin Qi also stumbled back a few steps, regained his balance, and immediately smiled:

"interesting!"

Tar was stronger than he had imagined, his strength was very close to Liu Ming's, only slightly weaker than Liu Hai.

His combat strength is similar to Sun Sheng's!
If Sun Sheng were to face Tar, he would likely only manage a narrow victory.

The marksmanship technique his opponent used was extremely sophisticated, but he recognized dozens of moves from "The Fundamentals of Cosmic Marksmanship" within it.

When combined with extremely high-quality internal energy, the resulting power is not to be underestimated.

Furthermore, the opponent's martial arts skills are not weak either.

Tal looked at Lynch and shouted:
"Come and fight!"

"boom!"

The swirling water transformed into a giant shark once more, carrying him as he charged forward again, his ferocious spear energy slashing down fiercely.
