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

Chapter 611 Ninth Realm Spiritual Power! (Seeking monthly votes)

The crowd discussed it animatedly, expressing their desire to travel to the trial planet in search of rare and precious materials.

Lin Qi was also very tempted after hearing this.

If he's lucky enough to find top-tier rare and precious materials, he can sell them to the Flowing Blade Civilization for hundreds of thousands of Deep Space Coins.

That's enough to buy a large amount of cultivation resources.

However, he remained calm. He was only at the eighth realm, and although he possessed the combat power of the ninth realm, his strength was simply insufficient for the trial planet.

After all, the trial planet is too big; it's too easy for someone to die inside.

He has a little money now, and he can earn Deep Space Coins by making a winning streak in the Cosmic Martial Arts Arena, climbing the Blazing Sun Ranking, and hunting down Calamity Beasts!

That's enough for his cultivation; there's no need for him to risk his life to enter the trial planet.

It would be better to wait until I break through and possess the combat power of the Crimson Emperor before heading to the other world.

……

Black Dragon Base, Room 206

In the spacious living room, Lin Qi opened his eyes and withdrew from the meeting at the Imperial Star Palace.

I took out my phone, opened War House, and sure enough, I found that the app had started updating.

After the update, a redemption function has been added.

[Name: Lin Qi (Heilong Base)]

[Merit Points: 3568 million]

[Do you want to convert your merit points into Deep Space Coins?]

Lin Qi saw this and did not choose to exchange. With more than 3000 million merit points, he could only exchange for a little over 3000 Deep Space Coins at most.

It's better to save it to exchange for some cheap resources and improve your strength.

Then he opened the newly updated redemption table and listed them out separately.

He soon saw what he needed.

[Item: Orifice-Clearing Liquid]

Price: 10000 Deep Space Coins/bottle

……

Lynch began placing orders rapidly, with the Deep Space Coins all in his account on the cosmic virtual network.

The payment method is direct bank transfer.

【drop! 】

[Transfer successful! 20000 Deep Space Coins transferred!]

Your purchase will be delivered to your door within two days!

Lin Qi looked at the notification from the War House and nodded to himself.

Two bottles of acupoint-opening liquid should be enough to open at least 80 acupoints for him.

At this rate, six or seven bottles of the acupoint-opening liquid would be enough to open more than 100 of his acupoints.

Once he opens 100 acupoints, his combat strength and power will reach the peak of the eighth realm, and he will officially challenge for the number one position on the Blazing Sun Ranking.

After figuring it out, he took out a level-three calamity beast crystal from his spatial bracelet and consumed it, beginning his cultivation for the day.

……

The Flowing Blade Civilization began to integrate into the Blue Star Civilization.

The rise of Earth has officially begun!

Countless factory workers noticed that many people had arrived today, and their demeanor was fundamentally different from the others, speaking in a language they couldn't understand.

They also brought brand-new mechanical equipment, which I couldn't understand at all.

After the leader finished speaking about redesigning the production line, they all felt a sudden and unfamiliar change.

"So they are the Ryujin civilization?"

"They came specifically to support our Blue Star!"

"This shows that our Earth civilization will develop rapidly in the future. As civilization becomes more prosperous, the lives of ordinary people like us will become better!"

"That's right. It's said that there's going to be a large-scale development of another world. When we have money, we'll give my child a better education, and maybe he can become a powerful martial artist."

Similar discussions occurred in every factory.

……

The virtual world of the universe, the world of flowing blades.

Inside a huge conference room, numerous high-ranking members of the Flowing Blade Civilization were seated.

The burly Liu Yu smiled as he gave his report:

"Over the course of five days, we explored the home planet of the Blue Star civilization and gained a general understanding of the trial planet."

"The value of this trial planet is even more astonishing than we imagined!"

"For 65 million years, no one has developed it, and it has accumulated astonishingly large numbers of monstrous beasts, rare and precious materials, and relics of the Spark Civilization."

"The Blue Star civilization has explored less than 1% of the trial planet."

"I've already made arrangements. Apart from martial artists at the second level of the universe realm, there are plenty of slots available for martial artists at other realms to enter the trial planet and reap the rewards."

A woman in an elegant long dress across from them spoke:

"This is a good thing for our Flowing Blade civilization. Let the warriors prepare high-capacity space bracelets."

"To enter the trial planet, all you need to do is collect rare and precious materials."

The Heavenly Blade Flow, clad in white robes, nodded in agreement:
"Even if other industries only have a 30% profit margin, it's still an astonishing fortune!"

"Moreover, our profits from harvesting rare and precious materials will only be greater than those on Earth!"

"They, the Blue Star, are not at a disadvantage either; we will also support their improvement in all aspects."

"When the wanted criminals arrive, we will also help them. At that time, we will send martial artists of the second level of the universe into the trial planet to capture the wanted criminals and harvest rare and precious materials at the same time."

Immediately, someone laughed: "Great idea!"

"Unfortunately, the quantity is still too small. The Blue Star civilization has no restrictions, and most of the rare and precious materials will fall into their hands."

"The first century is very important for both of us now."

"Time is of the essence!"

……

Virtual world of the universe, Lieyang Academy

At this moment, a large number of people gathered in front of Mount Lieyang, all their eyes fixed on several huge Lieyang Rankings.

"There are less than 15 days left until the next reward settlement!"

"Everyone's starting to push for higher rankings, the competition's become even fiercer!"

"Anyone who makes it into the top 1,000 will receive a large amount of Deep Space Coins as a reward!"

"However, the competition is fiercest among the top 100!"

"They are all top-notch geniuses!"

"And the top ten geniuses all want to aim for higher rankings, higher rewards, and greater fame!"

"It will constantly spur geniuses to work harder!"

Three figures also appeared on the Blazing Sun Ranking not far away.

Sun Sheng, dressed in a golden robe, looked at the rankings and said:
"I redeemed several bottles of Qi-boosting liquid yesterday. When the rewards are settled at the end of the month, I will most likely be able to break into the top 100."

Li Tianxing, dressed in red, nodded in agreement.

"Me too!"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "I noticed that the rankings of Augustus, Andrei, and Ajay haven't changed. What's going on?"

Sun Sheng laughed and said, "They've entered Ruins No. 9 to undergo the test, so they've probably forgotten about this incident."

Lin Qi shook his head and said, "I need to remind them that the higher their ranking, the more Deep Space Coins they will receive."

He looked at his ranking on the Fiery Sun Ranking.

[Rank 85: Lynch (Hidden Civilization), Levels: 3]

……

In just a few days, after solidifying his foundation, his martial arts skills improved significantly, and his ranking on the Blazing Sun Ranking continued to rise.

There are still two weeks left.
Improving his martial arts skills has become difficult, but his mental strength and physical fitness still have enormous room for improvement.

This is enough to significantly improve his ranking.

"Let's go!"

After saying that, Lin Qi took the lead and entered the Lieyang Mountain.

Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing nodded and entered Lieyang Mountain together to begin the test.

……

Half a month flies by in a blink of an eye.

The Flowing Blade Civilization began to integrate into the Blue Star Civilization.

Significant changes are beginning across all industries, with official websites announcing good news daily and numerous technical challenges being overcome.

How many martial artists have successfully awakened special abilities, and what kind of medicine has been developed?

The world is changing rapidly; every day, Earth is undergoing transformation.

……

Black Dragon Base

The massive monster horde ended around noon.

Countless martial artists began returning to their base.

“I used to worry that there were too many calamity beasts and that our Xia Kingdom’s warriors wouldn’t be able to withstand them at all.”

"Now that various technological weapons have been comprehensively upgraded, the efficiency of hunting disaster beasts has increased several times."

"There are more and more low-level and mid-level martial artists awakening special abilities."

"And there are also warriors from the Flowing Blade Civilization who are also trying to steal our merit points."

"Even if we open three spatial gates now and keep them open for five hours, we still won't have enough calamity beasts."

"I estimate that in the future, the duration of the spatial gate may be extended to seven or eight hours, otherwise there won't be enough calamity beasts to kill."

"However, the merit points for hunting disaster beasts have recently increased, while the prices remain the same, so I can buy more disaster beast meat and resources now."

"Perhaps there is hope for him to break through to the highest level of martial arts in the future."

Countless martial artists are discussing it.

Looking at the people around him, Liang Tai couldn't help but sigh. He had personally witnessed the dramatic changes that had taken place in the Black Dragon Base in just a few months.

The strength of the surrounding martial artists was also increasing.

He also had to work hard. As Lin Qi's senior brother, he would lose face if he couldn't even break through to the high realm.

"Third junior brother, you need to work hard too!"

Standing beside him was a tall, handsome man with a scholarly air. He was none other than Lin Qi's second senior brother, Li Qing.

At this point, he had awakened a special ability, arrived at the Black Dragon Base for an internship, and his strength had broken through to the sixth realm.

Feeling his physical exhaustion, Li Qing smiled and said:
"Of course I will try my best!"

"Hunting monstrous beasts is definitely more satisfying!"

"We must become stronger so as not to embarrass our junior brother."

……

Room 206, martial arts room
Lin Qi, dressed in a black martial arts uniform, sat cross-legged. In his consciousness space, his spiritual power had almost dissipated.

It was all compressed into a liquid state, like a liquid sphere, expanding and spreading outwards like a lake.

Meanwhile, Lin Qi's mental energy was also constantly differentiating, forming strands of mental energy, with nearly a thousand strands emerging with each breath.

With 999 strands of spiritual energy, just one more strand is needed to achieve a breakthrough.

Lin Qi frowned, feeling increasingly strained.

A surge of cool energy welled up in his consciousness, equivalent to the amount of five soul essences.

Only then did he feel the immense effect and begin to break through to the Thousand Threads Realm.

I don't know how much time passed in my heavy and painful state.

At a certain moment, even the last trace of spiritual energy disintegrated.

"Buzz!"

Lin Qi's body trembled, his brain buzzed, and in an instant, thousands of strands of spiritual energy intertwined and wove into a net, spreading outwards from him.

From the martial arts room to the bedroom, to every corner of Room 206, everything was crystal clear.

Then it spread out, along the corridor, all the way to the outside of the accommodation area, onto the streets where warriors returning from the battlefield displayed their intense qi and blood, their wounds gaping open.

Everything felt clearer, and his mental strength broke through a new bottleneck, greatly enhancing Lin Qi's mental perception.

He mentally calculated the range of his perception: 100, 200, 300...

500 meters!
Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint shooting out from them.

"It actually extends the range to 500 meters. Within this range, my perception will be very clear. Beyond that, it will become blurry and the effect will weaken."

Lin Qi felt his mind clear and his perception of the world became clearer.

His mental strength has made a tremendous breakthrough!
[You have consumed five pieces of Soul Essence and cultivated the "Thousand Threads of Divine Sense," successfully breaking through to the "Thousand Threads" realm. Your spiritual power has greatly increased, increasing by 300.]

[Your spiritual realm has broken through to the Sky Soaring Realm; Template fusion rate +1%]

[Mental Strength: 39700 → 40000]

[Template: Erlang Shen - Yang Jian]

[Integration degree: 43% → 44%]

……

Lin Qi looked at the information on the panel and immediately smiled.

"My spiritual power has finally broken through to the Sky Soaring Realm, and I possess the spiritual power of the Sky Soaring Realm while still in the Refining Aperture Realm."

"The effect of five pieces of 20% pure soul marrow is indeed quite good."

Lin Qi nodded secretly. For this breakthrough, he spent 5 million merit points to buy 500 pieces of Soul Essence with 20% purity.

Finally, I broke through the major bottleneck in my mental strength.

His talent in mental strength has always been strong, and he has made breakthroughs very quickly.

I've spent a lot of merit points. The merit points I've used recently, converted into Deep Space Coins, amount to about 20,000.

In order to break through, they faced the test of Lieyang Mountain.

Lin Qi closed his eyes, and the lake in his consciousness space expanded another circle, undergoing a qualitative change.

He controlled his mental energy to continuously differentiate, instantly forming a thousand threads into a net.

At this moment, the mental energy net became more resilient, and it also had a better defensive effect against mental attacks.

"The mental perception range of the Sky Soaring Realm has already reached 500 meters?"

"No, the normal range is only 200 meters. I'm different. My talent is better, and I can sense a wider range."

"It is said that the perception range of a second-level psychic master can extend to several kilometers, and enemies within this range will have nowhere to hide."

"And the three realms of the universe are even more exaggerated; they can sense a small asteroid."

Lin Qi recalled the contents recorded in the Divine Sense Thousand Threads.

The role of mental strength is very important and will accompany you throughout your martial arts journey.

He took out one or two level-three calamity beast crystals and consumed them, then sat cross-legged again, adjusted his breathing, and began to visualize the Golden Emperor Tiger.

The level three Calamity Beast Crystal, under the influence of powerful mental energy, caused blood and qi to surge, frantically impacting the acupoints in the body like a drilling rig.

At this moment, 79 acupoints appeared, like 79 golden vortexes.

Two days ago, he took the Chongqiao liquid again, which opened up four more acupoints.

Now, if he opens one more acupoint, he will have 80 acupoints.

"Boom!"

Two hours later, amidst waves of intense pain...

Lin Qi felt a surge of heat, and power flowed continuously from his body.

[You have consumed two Level 3 Calamity Beast Cores, successfully opening your 80th acupoint. Your health and mana have increased significantly, +300]

[Qi and Blood Value: 35200 → 35500]

……

"boom!"

Lynch stood up in the dazzling golden light.

"80 acupoints, only 28 more acupoints away from 108!"

"It's only been less than a year!"

Lin Qi clenched his fist. It had only been eight months since he broke through to the eighth realm, less than a year.

Many martial artists at the eighth realm need at least seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, to go from the initial entry to the peak.

His cultivation speed is still too fast.

"At this rate, I will break through to the ninth realm within two years!"

Lin Qi calculated to himself.

He then went to the living room, sat on the sofa, and his spatial bracelet lit up. He took out a metal box containing a section of ancient blood vine.

This is a reward given by the Crimson Emperor, and now it's time to use it.

After consuming the Ancient Blood Vine, he finally activated the virtual bracelet.

"According to the converted Earth time, there are only 8 hours left until the deadline for the Blazing Sun Ranking of the Blazing Sun Academy!"

"It's time for me to test my skills!"

"Buzz!"

Lin Qi thought to himself, feeling the power of the virtual bracelet enveloping his body.

Consciousness began to enter the virtual world of the universe.

……

Lieyang Taoist Temple, downstairs in the dormitory area.

Lin Qi saw two familiar figures and smiled, saying:
"What a coincidence, you guys are online too?"

Sun Sheng grinned: "The deadline for the Blazing Sun Ranking is approaching. We just finished fighting the Beast Tide and logged on."

"This time, I am very confident that I can break into the top 100!"

Lin Qi nodded: "Let's go together!"

The three quickly arrived at the foot of Lieyang Mountain, only to find that the surrounding area was densely packed with people, a sea of ​​people, and extremely lively.

On the blazing sun list above, several names were marked with crimson flame effects.

They are all geniuses who have risen in the rankings from the top 100.

"The season for award settlements is always the most exciting, with the top 1,000 geniuses all vying for even higher rankings."

"Once today's rewards are settled, I estimate that a large number of geniuses will receive their rewards and then choose to break through to the Sky Realm."

"Leize is here!"

"He's already ranked 60th, could he be aiming for the top 50?"

Suddenly someone spoke, and everyone looked at the newcomer—Lei Ze, who was tall and arrogant as he entered the Lieyang Mountain.

"Liu Ming is here too. He's already ranked 115th, and he might have a chance to break into the top 100."

Someone in the crowd spoke up, saying that Liu Ming had brought Liu Hai, Feng Ti, and a group of geniuses from the Liu Ren civilization over.

He spotted Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing in the crowd at a glance.

So he quickly walked over to greet him and asked:

"Lynch!"

What's your target ranking this time?

Lin Qi laughed and said, "If we can get into the top 80, we'll have completed the mission."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming felt a sinking feeling in his heart, sensing immense pressure.

Despite my best efforts, I've only improved my ranking by a few places, and the top 100 remains a distant dream.

Since entering the Lieyang Dao Academy, Lin Qi's strength has increased by leaps and bounds, which is simply unimaginable.

Beside him, Liu Hai and Feng Ti were also secretly alarmed.

"Fraser, Unida and Hobbs are here!"

"My God, the top three on the Blazing Sun Ranking have all arrived!"

The sudden exclamation drew everyone's attention.

Three people appeared from three directions, one of whom was Hobbs, whom Lin Qi recognized—tall, domineering, and from the Titan civilization.

Wearing a white robe and with exquisite features, she is Yunida from the Triangular Constellation Civilization!

And finally, there was Frazier, a burly man with rugged features and a silver lightning bolt symbol between his eyebrows.

They went straight into the Lieyang Mountains.

"The competition for the top three this time is expected to be very fierce."

There was much discussion and a strong atmosphere around, with geniuses constantly entering Lieyang Mountain to undergo trials.

"Let's go in too!"

Lin Qi suddenly spoke up, and Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing nodded, then entered Lieyang Mountain together.

Liu Ming and the others exchanged glances and then entered as well.
