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

Chapter 619 Fame and Huge Reward! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Troy, who was in first place, has fallen!"

"Someone has surpassed Troy!"

"It's Lin Qi from the Blue Star Civilization. He successfully surpassed Troy and became the number one on the Blazing Sun Ranking in the Qi Refining Realm. He also reached the fifth level of Blazing Sun Mountain!"

"This is unbelievable! They jumped from 25th to 1st place! That's an incredible leap!"

"I saw that right!"

In an instant, countless people in front of Lieyang Mountain erupted in excitement, with various shocked voices rising and falling.

Hundreds of thousands of eyes were fixed on the Blazing Sun Ranking.

"Who is Lin Qi, the number one on the Blazing Sun Ranking of the Qi Refining Realm? How did he suddenly become number one?"

"You don't even know Lin Qi?"

"I am in the Sky Soaring Realm, so I don't know much about the Aperture Refining Realm. He didn't even make it into the top ten before, so I naturally didn't know."

"But now you know!"

"Lin Qi from the Blue Star Civilization is a top genius capable of reaching the fifth level of Lieyang Mountain!"

"Blue Star Civilization, if I heard correctly, the original number one, Qin Ling, was also from the Blue Star Civilization!"

"That's a monster that can reach the sixth level!"

"I never imagined they all came from the Earth civilization. Just who is this civilization?"

Troy, with his pointed ears, frowned as he looked at the Sun Ranking. He had actually been surpassed?

She was well aware of the difficulty of the fifth level; her opponent seemed to be stronger than her.

Another monster has appeared!

At this moment, Frazier, Unida, and Hobbs, who were not far away, also had different expressions.

Unida immediately smiled and said:

"I only casually reminded a few people at the time, but I didn't expect them to be super geniuses. It seems I'm quite lucky."

At this moment, Liu Ming, Liu Hai, Feng Ti, and the others were completely shocked.

"Number one on the Blazing Sun Ranking...!"

The burly Liu Hai could hardly believe his eyes. This was something that even the strongest member of their Liu Blade civilization, the Blade Master, had never accomplished.

If the other party can do this, doesn't it mean that they might become another "Blade Master" in the future?

This is already the second person to be ranked number one on the Blazing Sun Ranking, after "Red Emperor".

They all come from the same civilization.

It's unbelievable; it completely overturned their understanding.

……

Upon seeing the rankings on the Blazing Sun Ranking, Sun Sheng, dressed in white robes, couldn't help but widen his eyes and swear:
"Holy crap, Lin Qi is already in first place?"

"He even reached level five? How did he do that?"

How did he pass the fourth level?

Li Tianxing, who was standing next to him, was also extremely shocked.

At the same time, a tall figure appeared outside Lieyang Mountain.

He patted Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing on the shoulders and laughed:

"It's very simple, you just need to open up 100 acupoints to pass!"

The speaker was Lin Qi, who had just left Lieyang Mountain when he heard the discussion about it.

Sun Sheng pulled Lin Qi's hand away and exclaimed in surprise:

"You've opened 100 acupoints so quickly?"

“I remember you broke through later than me. I’ve only opened 80 acupoints so far.”

Li Tianxing shook his head and said, "It's because you're not as hardworking as Lin Qi, and your talent isn't as good either."

Sun Sheng was not angry after hearing this and said, "No wonder I am no match for you. It turns out that you have not opened enough acupoints."

"Once I open up 100 acupoints, I will be able to challenge for first place."

Lin Qi nodded. With Sun Sheng's talent, he certainly had a chance.

"Lin Qi is out!" someone shouted.

In an instant, Lin Qi felt countless gazes fall upon him, and the owner of each pair of gazes was a top genius.

The gazes were filled with intense pressure, for the owners of those gazes were a group of Sky-Soaring Realm cultivators.

"Lin Qi, congratulations!"

At this moment, the burly Lei Ze stepped forward to offer his congratulations.

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Lei Ze, congratulations on moving up to 29th place!"

Lei Ze shook his head and said, "I'm still not as good as you. I've already opened 100 acupoints, and every step from now on will be more difficult."

"Lin Qi, congratulations!"

At this moment, Liu Ming and the others from Liuren Civilization also quickly stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

Their attitude has also changed dramatically. If they were in the top 100, they would be a little proud.

Making it into the top 30 will get them a warm welcome.

After reaching the top, they could only look up in awe.

Such a genius has unlimited potential. Among the human race today, as long as someone has talent, they can be discovered.

As long as they don't fall along the way, they will all become strong in the future.

The Blade Master, the strongest among the Flowing Blade Civilization, is a perfect example. He rose to prominence and became stronger with each passing year.

Without the Blade Master, there would be no Flowing Blade Civilization as we know it today.

Lin Qi nodded and said, "We've had a good relationship with your Flowing Blade Civilization in recent months!"

He believed that the Ryujin civilization was indeed beneficial to him.

Although there were some minor frictions between the two sides, they got along fairly well. The Liuren civilization also did its best to help their Blue Star civilization achieve rapid progress.

This method is available after the Fire Trial, not when you reach 32nd place.

Therefore, he felt that the Ryujin civilization was good.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming immediately smiled.

"Lin Qi, congratulations!"

At this moment, Hobbs, tall and exuding a domineering aura like thunder, stepped forward to congratulate him.

During these three months, he and Lin Qi also crossed paths, attending Professor Fu Quan's classes together and occasionally exchanging ideas.

Hobbs laughed and said, "Lynch, the Deep Space Genius Tournament is about to begin, there are only three years left."

"I look forward to seeing you on the Blazing Sun Ranking in the Sky Realm."

Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing all looked puzzled after hearing this.

"Deep Space Genius Competition?"

Hobbs laughed and said, "You'll soon find out that this is an opportunity that neither of us can afford to miss."

Lin Qi memorized the Deep Space Genius Competition and planned to look it up when he got back.

His favorite thing is competitions, and he makes a fortune from each one.

Then Lynch started talking to the other people.

During his time at the Lieyang Academy, he also got to know many geniuses.

Everyone was friendly, and through our interactions, I was able to learn a lot of information that the outside world didn't know.

Earth's civilization is too remote and lacks sufficient understanding of the universe; this requires time to accumulate knowledge.

"Rewards are being distributed!"

Just as everyone was discussing, someone suddenly shouted, and messages popped up in front of many people.

"The rewards have finally been distributed!"

"I'm just waiting for the reward to buy resources. My civilization is too weak; it can't provide many resources at all."

"I am so grateful to the Blazing Sun Academy. Without it, I might never have had a chance to break through to the Sky Soaring Realm, and I might have died in some corner of the universe!"

"Yes, without the Blazing Sun Academy, I might already be a slave!"

"With Deep Space Coins, we can exchange them for a large amount of resources in our civilization, which has made the people around me stronger."

Many people lamented that many of these people came from weaker civilizations.

The Flowing Blade Civilization is already considered to be a top-tier birth.

The truly top-tier geniuses would never come to the Blazing Sun Academy.

Lin Qi also looked at the information that popped up in front of him.

Lin Qi also looked at the information that popped up in front of him.

[Congratulations, Lin Qi, a martial artist from the Blue Star civilization, on ranking first on the Blazing Sun Ranking (Refining Acupoint Realm)! You will receive a reward of 15 Deep Space Coins!]

[You have successfully passed the fourth trial of Mount Lieyang. Upon entering the fifth trial, you will receive an additional one-time reward of 30 Deep Space Coins!]

……

Upon seeing this, Lin Qi was immediately overjoyed.

The person ranked first actually received 15 Deep Space Coins.

Settlement is done every three months, and you can earn 60 Deep Space Coins a year, which is more than you can earn by simply hunting monsters.

After that, he did nothing but receive a sum of Deep Space Coins every three months, which he used to exchange for cultivation resources.

This harvest totaled 45 Deep Space Coins, enough for three months of cultivation, and even his ability to break through to the ninth realm depends on this money.

"I've already opened 100 acupoints. Next are the remaining 8 acupoints, which are also the most difficult!"

"It might require some resources to break through!"

Lin Qi shook his head. He had also been browsing the forum recently. After the 100th acupoint, the difficulty of each acupoint doubled.

For a genius who can awaken two abilities, 100 acupoints is the limit.

Only galaxy-level geniuses can unlock more acupoints, and with each one unlocked, their foundation will be broadened.

Even a galaxy-level genius might not be able to open all 108 acupoints.

Lin Qi himself is definitely going to open up 108 acupoints.

As someone with a special physique, opening up 108 acupoints is fundamental.

"Haha, I got 500 Deep Space Coins!"

Jiang Tao walked over and smiled.

"Brother Qi, I'm now ranked number one below the galaxy-level geniuses."

"If I can awaken a third special ability, I am confident that I can achieve a higher ranking."

"Lin Qi, I've made up my mind. We'll head to Ruins No. 9 after the holiday!"

Lin Qi nodded: "I hope to become the first galaxy-level genius in the Blood Exchange Realm."

The gap in talent between them on Earth is too great.

Galaxy-level geniuses can break into the top ten, while those who awaken two abilities are only in the 500-600 range.

Jiang Tao has potential. Five months have passed since the Fire Seed Trial, and his cultivation level has improved significantly. With various resources, he is not far from the peak of the Blood Exchange Realm.

"It seems everyone has gained quite a bit!"

At this moment, the God of War arrived with a large number of warriors at the Sky Soaring Realm.

Lin Qi said, "Senior War God, congratulations on entering the 5th place."

The God of War in black robes laughed and said, "Fifth place is already my limit."

"The future still depends on you, the number one!"

"Now that the rewards have been settled, it's time for us to go!"

"It's the Spring Festival in your Xia Kingdom now, so you should spend time with your family."

So everyone started logging off one after another.

People from other civilizations were astonished to see the people of Earth gathered together.

"Russell is also a genius from the Blue Star civilization. This civilization is amazing."

"One came in 1st place, and the other came in 5th place."

"There are also two top geniuses, ranked in the top 50."

"Our Iron Gang Civilization doesn't even have a single genius in the top 100. It's utterly shameful."

Amidst sighs, the crowd began to disperse.

The rewards have been distributed, and the next gathering of so many geniuses will be a month from now.

……

In personal space,
On the spacious training ground, a tea table appeared, with the tall and imposing Mountain and River King and Lin Qi sitting opposite each other.

"Master, how was your trip to the other world?" Lin Qi asked first.

Upon hearing this, King Shanhe immediately smiled and said:
"A great success!"

"The Deep Space Institute has licensed a large amount of technology for free, and our fighter jets have been upgraded, greatly improving their reconnaissance capabilities."

"Many rare and precious materials can be discovered."

"Now that we have no worries, we can explore the other world extensively."

"The only downside is that there are too many calamity beasts."

"Once surrounded by several level-nine calamity beasts, the situation becomes extremely dangerous when isolated and without help."

"If we encounter a level 10 calamity beast, we ninth-realm warriors can only work together to hunt it down."

"Because according to the Records of the Myriad Races of the Universe, the territories of demonic beasts are located in good places, and with their own aura, top-level resources are extremely easy to be generated."

"There were dangers, but also rewards!"

"Two ninth-realm warriors have already perished in it due to their excessive exploration."

"It wasn't just us; quite a few from the Ryujin civilization also died."

"Another group of martial artists arrived, and many died, but it still couldn't stop their frenzy."

Lin Qi's eyes lit up as he listened; the potential gains came with the risks.

King Shanhe continued, "

"However, you still don't earn as much as you did at the Blazing Sun Academy."

"The value of rare and precious materials varies. Although there may be many harvests, only a few are truly valuable."

"So Lin Qi, you should focus on your cultivation at the Blazing Sun Academy and break through to the Sky Soaring Realm."

Lin Qi nodded and said, "I understand!"

……

After a brief chat, King Shanhe left, while Lin Qi entered the Cosmic Martial Arts Arena.

He checked his personal information.

Name: Lin Qi

[Template: Erlang Shen - Yang Jian]

[Compatibility: 45%]

[Mental Strength: 42000 (Sky Realm)]

[Qi and Blood Value: 39200 (100 acupoints)]

[Gun Skill: Tier 5, 73%]

[Agility: Rank 5, 68%]

……

After three months, Lin Qi had improved in all aspects, with the biggest improvement being in his Qi and blood levels, having opened up 100 acupoints.

The remaining 8 acupoints correspond to a Qi and Blood value of 800.

Although the blood and qi value may seem low, each acupoint is crucial. Opening up each acupoint can lead to a profound transformation of the body and lay a solid foundation for martial arts.

The potential for future growth is also much broader.

As for martial arts skills, it is becoming increasingly difficult to improve them.

His martial arts skills are now stronger than most ninth-realm martial artists.

Shanhe Wang's spear skills are probably only slightly better than mine, and it's only a matter of time before I surpass him.

"There's also the Deep Space Genius Competition. I'll check the forums again after the effects of the Ancient Blood Vine wear off."

Lynch quickly formulated a plan in his mind.

Then it enters matchmaking mode.

[Start matching!]

【Successful match! 】

The next instant, his figure vanished into his personal space.

……

Lieyang Taoist Academy, Bronze Halberd Martial Arts Training Hall
In the top-floor dean's office
The unicorn woman projected a large amount of data, and the rankings began their daily reporting.

"The Xuanbi Civilization..."

"Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing from the Blue Star Civilization have entered the top 40, ranking respectively..."

"Leize has successfully entered 29th place!"

"Troy remains in second place, but has successfully passed the fourth level and advanced to the fifth level!"

"Lin Qi of the Blue Star Civilization has successfully reached the top spot, surpassing Troy, and has also entered the fifth level."

Upon hearing this, the dean's eyes lit up. He didn't say anything but continued listening.

A moment later, the unicorn woman finished her report.

The dean slowly spoke up, "What a pleasant surprise! Russell of the Blue Star civilization has successfully broken through to the sixth-tier skill!"

"That's really rare!"

"Of course, the most outstanding one is this genius named Lynch. Every time the rankings are settled, his ranking will improve significantly."

"We're already in first place, and we've even reached level five!"

"Looks like it's another Qinling Mountains!"

"According to convention, being able to reach the fifth level already puts one at another level of genius."

"I need to meet with Lynch and Troy!"

"Their future is limitless. They may shine in the Deep Space Genius Competition. I need to give Old U a little help."

The unicorn woman said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

a moment later

The unicorn woman left, and the dean continued to sit cross-legged in the office.

"With the Deep Space Genius Competition approaching, all sorts of geniuses are emerging?"

"Especially this Blue Star civilization, this is the first time I've ever seen such a civilization. It truly deserves its potential as an advanced civilization, having produced so many geniuses!"

"The number of geniuses in an entire galaxy may not even equal the number of geniuses on a single planet!"

……

Cosmic Arena

On a beach covered in azure blue, two figures clashed instantly, traversing a distance of a thousand meters like lightning.

"Bang!!"

The air exploded, the golden blade collided with the flowing water, creating an energy storm, and the beach beneath their feet shattered, forming a deep crater.

Two different opponents, wielding large guns, are engaged in combat.

Lin Qi brandished his black and gold spear, unleashing his gold domain to suppress his opponent's water domain.

He effortlessly deflected his opponent's attacks.

“Ding ding!!”

He looked at his opponent, a burly man with smooth, fish-scale-like skin, wielding a gun with blue patterns appearing on his body like flowing water.

He is Lin Qi's opponent this time, a powerful galaxy-level genius with 9-star combat power.

Even within the Blazing Sun Academy, he is a powerhouse who ranks among the top 100 on the Blazing Sun Ranking!
Lin Qi was shocked; this was already the fifth top-tier expert he had been matched with.

None of them are at the Sky Soaring Realm; they are all at the Aperture Refining Realm, and all of them are star system-level geniuses with 9-star combat power.

His combat strength is extraordinary; a few months ago, even a genius like him would have had to go all out to win.

They might even lose.

However, he has now opened 100 acupoints, and his combat power in the Acupoint Refining Realm has reached its peak.

"Bang bang!"

Lin Qi brandished his spear, his inner energy flowing freely, unleashing a torrent of power.

The spear came crashing down, and the opponent swung his blue spear to block it. The terrifying force was transmitted through the spear, and the heavy impact sent his body flying.

It slammed down heavily, and Lin Qi pressed his advantage, thrusting out his spear, which pierced his chest like lightning.

"Bang~"

The beach exploded, countless drops of seawater poured down, and a huge crater was formed in the ground.

"How can it be……"

Lan Zheng found it hard to believe; he was a top-ranking galaxy-level genius within the organization.

Originally, after finishing the last match, I could have prepared to break through to the Sky Realm and prepare for the Deep Space Genius Tournament.

Unexpectedly, we encountered such a strong opponent.

Is this strength still at the Qi Refining Realm?
Is this what a top-tier genius is like?
Before he could figure it out, he vanished into nothingness into the air.

[Battle Over: Yang Jian wins!]

On the beach, the system announced the final result via voice.

At the same time, the comments section was flooded with messages.
