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

Chapter 609 Combat Power Upgrade!

Chapter 609 Combat Power Upgrade! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Lin Qi also smiled, his eyes shining with dazzling golden light!

His blood and qi surged wildly, and power poured out of his body continuously as he unleashed the "World-Destroying Spear Manual".

The spear thrust out, golden energy swirling around it, seemingly capable of destroying the heavens and the earth; its domineering power was unleashed, and the spear technique seemed to come alive.

"Oh!"

Veins bulged on Tal's broad arms, his blood surging wildly as he frantically shook the tip of his spear. Countless giant sharks, formed from the domineering force of the water currents, darted out, possessing unparalleled power and speed!

The water surged, the two sides' spears clashed, and the vast ocean seemed to swallow Lin Qi's impact.

The entire ruined arena shook violently, and shockwaves spread across the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

The two sides clashed fiercely, their spears clashing and releasing three different abilities, leaving them with no weaknesses in strength, speed, or defense.

It possesses exceptional sustained combat capabilities.

At the same time, the number of viewers watching the live stream was also rising rapidly, from the initial 100 million to 500 million, 600 million, and 700 million.

The number is soaring toward 1000 million.

"I never expected to witness Tal's battle. He is a top genius in our Deep Sea Society and a future powerhouse of the third realm of the universe!"

"He is also a top genius in the Deep Sea Society."

"Who is this opponent named Yang Jian? How could he fight Tar to such a high level? Is he really a 6-star fighter?"

"Where can you find a galaxy-level genius with 6-star combat power? This is definitely 9-star combat power!"

"Tal, be careful, you might capsize!"

……

“Bang bang bang!!”

Like firecrackers, a series of explosions erupted from the ruins, and the energy storms created by the explosions filled every corner.

The realms of flowing water and sharp edge are also colliding invisibly.

As time went on, the situation began to change.

“Ding ding!!”

The tips of spears clashed, their energies swirled, creating shockwaves, penetrating force, and spiraling power...

Absorbing, deflecting, counteracting, defending, dodging...

Various forces clashed repeatedly, each trying to suppress the other.

"What a powerful force!"

"What kind of monster is this!"

Tal became increasingly alarmed as the gun fired, its powerful force emanating from its shaft.

No matter what moves he used, he was completely suppressed.

He was like an ordinary large ship encountering an aircraft carrier, completely suppressed in every way.

Strength, speed, and defense.

A comprehensive suppression from all sides.

Of course, this wasn't the most despairing thing for him.

Relying on his top-notch combat talent, he can still find opportunities to turn defeat into victory even in despair.

But the most terrifying thing was Yang Jian's spear technique. It was as if the opponent's spear technique had come to life, and every move was instantly swallowed up.

It felt like the other party was toying with him, and could kill him at any moment.

"How come we can't find any flaws in this guy's marksmanship?"

Bald-headed Tal gradually began to feel anxious!
He longed to find his opponent's weakness and use a killer move to turn the tide of battle.

But no matter how much they expanded, the opponent didn't reveal a single flaw.

"do not care!"

Tal's heart hardened, and the blue light around him grew even brighter. Three forces surged out wildly, condensing into a powerful aura, which he then unleashed with frenzied force.

He brandished his spear, his body and the spear spinning at high speed, transforming into a blue spiral cone that hurtled towards Lin Qi. From the outside, it looked just like a giant blue shark.

Killer move—Giant Shark Tooth!

Upon seeing this, Lin Qi immediately revealed an excited smile.

"That killer move is interesting!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and brandished the black and gold spear, which condensed into a golden shield that was as solid as a rock, leaving no gaps.

Killer move—Iron Prison!
"Bang!!"

The attacks from both sides collided violently in the ruins, and the golden spherical shield was driven deep into the ground by the intense impact.

"Break it for me!!"

Tal roared, his aura reaching its peak.

The spear tip desperately tried to pierce Lynch's golden shield, but no matter how hard he exerted himself, the shield remained unmoved.

The energy in the air became unusually turbulent, stirring up bursts of energy storms and dust.

Only Lynch remained calm.

The terrifying power erupts the moment the opponent reaches their peak and begins to decline.

Like a spring compressed to its limit, it bursts back with explosive force!

"boom!!"

A deafening explosion erupted on the ruins, rapidly expanding like a sphere.

In the violent impact, Tal instantly lost consciousness, his body being blasted away like a kite with a broken string.

"How can it be……?"

He simply couldn't believe that his killer move couldn't break through his opponent's defense.

"Hey~"

The next instant, a golden light flashed before his eyes; it was the tip of Lin Qi's spear.

All the surrounding storms and impacts were pierced through, the pen reaching right up to Tal's neck.

"Pfft~"

The moment the opponent lost consciousness, their defensive capabilities were not at their limit, and their neck was easily pierced.

His figure vanished into thin air in an instant.

[Battle Over: Yang Jian wins!]

The ruins fell silent, and in the air, an intelligent female voice announced the final result.

At the same time, everyone in the live stream room became excited.

"Tar actually lost. Who is this Yang Jian?"

"Tal's strength is among the best of all the galaxy-level geniuses I've ever seen."

"They actually lost? It's unbelievable."

"Looks like we've got good luck and encountered a dark horse. I saw some of his stats; he just achieved a 500-game winning streak!"

"With this level of skill, a 1000-game winning streak is probably not a problem."

"I've already started following Yang Jian. Whenever he's in a competition, the system will notify me."

"And his fighting style is really cool, it's my type!"

"..."

The number of viewers in the live stream reached an astonishing 1000 million after the battle ended!

More than 80% of people followed Lynch's personal account, if Lynch continues to match.

Many people watch it whenever they have free time.

……

In his personal space, Lin Qi was instantly teleported back.

[Congratulations, Yang Jian, on achieving a 500-win streak in the Cosmic Martial Arts Arena! You are the 100 millionth genius in the Blazing Sun Star Region to achieve this feat!]

You will receive a reward of 56230 Deep Space Coins, of which 50000 are an achievement reward and 6230 are a tip reward!

……

Lin Qi's expression brightened upon seeing this.

"In addition to the reward of 50000 Deep Space Coins, there was also a tip of 6230."

"The Cosmic Arena does have a tipping function, but no one watched my previous matches, so I didn't tip anyone."

"The tips we receive now are a windfall, and perhaps in the future, they could amount to a huge sum of money just from giving them away."

Then he saw the achievement of 500 consecutive wins. In the Blazing Sun Starfield, more than 100 million people had achieved this, which was simply astonishing.

There are still too many geniuses; he has quite a few targets to surpass.

Lin Qi then looked at the personal information in the Cosmic Arena:
[Nickname: Yang Jian (Hidden Civilization)]

[Realm: Universe One Realm Technique Cultivation]

Record: 100% (500 wins, 0 losses)

[Combat Power: 6 stars → 8 stars]

[Galaxy Ranking: 3]

[Ranking of the Triangulum Galaxy: 40 billion → 5560 million]

[Ranking in the Blazing Sun Star Region: 150 billion → 10 billion]

[Do you want to spend 10 Deep Space Coins to unlock the feature of matching opponents in the Sky Realm?]

……

After reviewing all the data, Lynch was alarmed.

His combat power soared from 6 stars to 8 stars in one go.

He guessed that he had revealed greater strength in his battle with Tal, or that he had defeated Tal, thus directly advancing to 8-star combat power.

As his combat power increased, his rankings also saw explosive growth.

In the Milky Way, they are ranked 3rd, while the top two are most likely Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing.

Given a little more time, he could easily surpass them and become the number one in the galaxy.

In the Triangulum Galaxy, his ranking is no longer in the hundreds of millions; ranking fifty millionth is indeed quite high.

In the Lieyang Star Region, he also moved from 150 billion to over 10 billion.

This is a good phenomenon.

With more time and an increased number of matches, the ranking will improve significantly.

After all, there aren't more than a billion galaxy-level geniuses in the entire star field.

Most of them are just geniuses who have awakened two abilities.

The last line, which unlocks the function, allows him to be matched with Sky Soaring Realm players while still in the Qi Refining Realm.

However, what surprised Lin Qi the most was that it would take 10 Deep Space Coins to unlock it.

He only has a little over 6 Deep Space Coins on him right now, which is not enough to unlock it.

It can only be done when you achieve a 1000-game winning streak.

After a brief moment of thought, Lynch chose to continue matching.

[Start matching!]

[Match successful!] The next second, his body was teleported back to the arena to begin the match.

……

In the Lieyang Starfield, within the Canglan Starfield, one of the top star systems, on a massive planet.

Cosmic Virtual Network

Bald-headed Tar was teleported back to his personal center.

He muttered to himself in shock:

"I actually lost? How is this possible?"

"I was actually defeated by a genius from a small civilization..."

"How can his physical abilities and martial arts skills be so strong?"

"Buzz!!"

Just as he was thinking, a message popped up in front of him.

The next instant, a tall figure appeared out of thin air in front of them. The figure was wearing a dark blue battle suit and had an ocean emblem on his chest.

His face was cold and stern, exuding an aura of authority without anger, and he emanated the power of a strongman.

"Thar, I watched your fight too!"

"You didn't lose unjustly!"

Tal frowned upon hearing this: "What do you mean? You think I'm no match for him!"

The man in white spoke:

"That's right!"

"In every aspect, you are inferior to your opponent—physical attributes, marksmanship, movement, and combat talent!"

Tal's face turned ugly after hearing this.

The man in white said calmly:
"Can't accept it?"

“Tal, you are a rare genius in our Deep Sea Society, but since joining the Deep Sea Society, you seem to have started to slack off.”

"The superior living environment, cultivation conditions, and entertainment in the virtual world of the universe have made you complacent."

"If a genius doesn't work hard, his downfall is inevitable."

"The universe is never short of geniuses. Among countless weak civilizations, countless geniuses yearn to change their fate and will desperately climb to the top."

"Once we enter the Deep Sea, surpassing you will only be a matter of time."

"I hope this battle will make you realize something."

"After all, everyone still has high hopes for you to break into the top 12 talents!"

Tal clenched his fist and said seriously, "I understand!"

The man in white vanished instantly after speaking.

Tal instantly recalled his past memories; he was just a human from an ordinary planet, from a poor family.

On planets controlled by the Deep Sea Society, they went through layers of selection, worked desperately, and paid countless blood and sweat to become the strongest genius among dozens of planets.

Being selected to join the Deep Sea Society grants access to top-tier cultivation resources and ownership of a planet, thus changing one's social class.

After that, he began to slack off. Even though his realm and combat power continued to improve, he admitted that he was not as hardworking as before.

Compared to other geniuses, his rate of progress was clearly below expectations.

"Whoo~"

"I still have to thank Yang Jian, otherwise I wouldn't have realized it so quickly."

Tal began to pay attention to Yang Jian, intending to make him his target and constantly reminding himself of this.

With that in mind, he continued matching.

……

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Virtual world of the universe, Lieyang Academy

【Martial Arts Room A-6】

In the spacious area, Fu Quan, dressed in a white robe and with handsome features, pointed to the human figure projected in front of him and said:
"What is a secret technique? It is to mobilize the power and ability of every muscle and cell in the body through special methods of exertion, coordinating and unifying them to unleash greater power through weapons and kill opponents!"

"According to incomplete statistics, there are currently one million ways to generate force in marksmanship."

"Many civilizations have different ways of generating force due to differences in physical structure."

"Excluding the obscure and rare ones, there are about 30,000 common ones. Through continuous practice, comprehension, and combination, different secret techniques can be created!"

"Through the application of power, secret manuals are also divided into different levels. The more exquisite the manual, the stronger the damage it can deal, and even break the opponent's manual!"

"If you lack all the finesse, you're inherently weaker than others."

"If you can learn the best secrets, you should learn them."

"Before the Lieyang Academy was established, even geniuses from ordinary births or weak civilizations could not defeat powerful civilizations."

"It's because we don't have a powerful secret technique that we can't defeat our opponent."

"Now, our Lieyang Dao Academy has countless top-level secret manuals in its Wanfa Pavilion. As long as you have money, you can buy them."

Many people nodded in agreement when Fu Quan said this.

Many of them came from civilizations like the Flowing Blade Civilization, which were neither high nor low, having risen too recently and lacking sufficient foundation.

I have some money, but no powerful secret techniques.

Coming to Lieyang Taoist Academy is the best choice.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"Ta-da!!"

As the bell tolled, Fu Quan slowly spoke:

"This lesson is now over. Welcome to my next lesson."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

"Let's go to the Wanfa Pavilion and buy 'The Fundamentals of Cosmic Gun Techniques'."

Newcomers visiting for the first time all chose to purchase "Basic Cosmic Gun Techniques" from Wanfa Pavilion to solidify their foundation!

"Where are Hobbs and Leize?"

"They probably went to attend a course at the Three Realms of the Universe. They're at the top of the rankings, so they probably don't need Deep Space Coins at all!"

"You don't understand. Some talented geniuses might get special tutoring and might not even need to attend classes."

"Leize has made great progress and is now ranked 68th. In another year or two, he may be able to break into the top three."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and Lin Qi listened to the murmurs around him.

The training room served as both a classroom and a place to gather intelligence; much information could be gleaned from there.

"Let's go!"

The tall and imposing Mountain and River King spoke.

Lin Qi nodded, and together with Li Tianxing, the three of them left the training room.

As they walked, they began to talk.

King Shanhe slowly spoke:

"I went back and carefully studied 'The Fundamentals of Cosmic Gun Techniques' and 'The Fundamentals of Cosmic Body Techniques' to solidify my foundation."

"His marksmanship has also improved significantly."

"Next is to practice the five-star spear technique manual."

"The Flowing Blade Civilization team should be arriving tomorrow. Once I've traded a large amount of Deep Space Coins, I'll be able to purchase new manuals."

Lin Qi's eyes lit up and he said:

"Master, with a five-star manual, will you be able to break through to the sixth-tier spear technique?"

After hearing this, King Shanhe shook his head and said:

"It's not that easy!"

"My marksmanship has not yet reached the fifth level of perfection, not to mention that the transition from the fifth level to the sixth level is a threshold."

"It has trapped countless geniuses!"

"Only a genius like the Crimson Emperor could possess a sixth-order skill at the Sky Soaring Realm."

"In comparison, breaking through to the second realm of the universe might be easier."

Li Tianxing nodded and said, "The Pavilion Master is ranked first on the Blazing Sun Ranking of the Sky Soaring Realm!"

"Even the God of War is only ranked 38th now!"

"The Ice and Snow Emperor and the Ganges Venerable are both ranked close to 300th. This is because there have been a lot of breakthroughs in the Sky Realm, and recently more star system-level geniuses have improved their rankings."

"Everyone's ranking may drop further!"

"Not to mention the others, the gap is too big!"

Lin Qi also shook his head and said, "The difference between two abilities and three abilities is still too great."

King Shanhe said, "I have purchased the 'Illustrated Compendium of Natural Treasures' and 'The Road to Elixir,' which record many kinds of natural treasures and elixirs that can enhance talent!"

"There are also things that can awaken three talents in a person, but they are very expensive."

Lin Qi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said, "Perhaps we can find it in another world."

King Shanhe nodded and said, "Everyone has the same idea, so from now on, most of the ninth-realm martial artists will hone their skills at the Blazing Sun Academy."

"We will also enter another world and explore it!"

"By the way, the support team from Liuren Civilization is arriving tomorrow!"

"You all come and meet us too!"

Lin Qi and Li Tianxing nodded.

……

November 16, 2049 in the Martial Arts Calendar.

It is also a special day for the entire planet Earth.

The support team for Liuren Civilization has arrived.

Xia Kingdom, Imperial Capital, Headquarters of the Crimson Sky Martial Arts Hall.

In the wide plaza in front of the headquarters, a black Falcon fighter jet came to a stop.

"Om!!"

The fighter jets came to a stop, and two figures emerged from them.
