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

Chapter 622 Pre-Battle Breakthrough! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
After the meeting ended, everyone dispersed.

Lin Qi and the others also left the Imperial Star Hall meeting and entered a new conference room, where only the ninth-realm martial artists from China were sitting on the huge desk.

The Crimson Emperor looked around and said, "According to preliminary statistics, our Xia Kingdom currently has four ninth-realm martial artists who are unable to return in time."

"Our Xia Kingdom currently only has 20 ninth-realm martial artists who can take action."

Then he looked at the three people in the corner and said:
"Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing!"

"You are ranked in the top 50 on the Blazing Sun Ranking, and you have the time to defeat a Sky Soaring Realm warrior. Although it may put you in danger, I still have to ask you: are you willing to take action for Blue Star?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Qi replied, "It's my duty!"

Li Tianxing said earnestly, "A wanted criminal in the universe must die!"

Sun Sheng nodded and said, "Me too!"

The Mountain and River King, the Heavenly Staff, and other ninth-realm martial artists immediately smiled.

The Crimson Emperor nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's good!"

He looked around at everyone and said, "Tomorrow, everyone will gather in the capital!"

"Once the spaceship enters Earth, hunt down the wanted criminals the moment they emerge!"

"Leave the warriors at the second level of the Universe Realm to me!"

"The others deal with the space-wide wanted criminals from the Sky-Soaring Realm!"

"If we are no match for them, request backup immediately!"

"Remember, your own life is the most important!"

The Overlord nodded and said, "Don't worry, we are not ordinary Sky-Soaring Realm warriors. No matter how many they come, we will kill them all."

The Crimson Emperor nodded and said, "The only good news is that most of the wanted criminals are beings who have awakened an ability."

"There are almost no cases of people awakening two abilities!"

"And all of our Xia Kingdom's top combat forces can get back in time."

"Killing wanted criminals is not difficult."

The heavy mood of everyone finally eased a little.

……

A moment later, the meeting officially ended!

Lin Qi opened his eyes. It was quiet all around him. He looked at the martial arts room.

At this moment, his mood also became heavy, and he thought to himself:

"The space fugitive has finally arrived!"

"And none of them are at the Refining Aperture Realm; they are all at the Sky Soaring Realm, or even the Cosmic Realm II!"

"If they attack ordinary people, the damage they cause will be enormous!"

"They are all vicious and ruthless; they must all be killed!"

"Each one that survives is a huge danger!"

"I'm going to make my move too. This is a real fight, not a cosmic arena where you can be resurrected if you lose."

Lynch also felt immense pressure.

"I am still too weak. I must become stronger."

"drop!"

His phone vibrated instantly. He picked it up and saw that the "Divine Acupoint Liquid" he had ordered had been delivered to his door.

two minutes later
At the main entrance of residence number 5!

"Mr. Lynch, these are the items you purchased. Please sign for them!"

A burly man dressed in black armor smiled and handed over a metal briefcase. His aura indicated he was a high-level martial artist at the seventh level of the Blood Exchange Realm.

"grateful!"

Lin Qi thanked him and took the silver metal briefcase from the other party.

"Drip!"

He returned to the martial arts room and unlocked it using fingerprint and pupil scanning.

Lin Qi looked at the metal briefcase. He had awakened the power of metal and was particularly sensitive to metal.

Compared to before, the technology of the box has been improved.

The box was opened, revealing eight brand-new bottles of potion containing pink liquid with a faint fragrance.

The moment you see it, it reminds you of strawberries.

"As expected of a potion worth 50000 Deep Space Coins, even the smell is wonderful."

Lin Qi simply sighed, took out a bottle, opened the cap, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Snoring!"

The sweet taste left Lin Qi wanting more.

He then closed the metal handle and stored it in his spatial bracelet.

Sit cross-legged, close your eyes, adjust your breathing, and clear your mind of distractions.

With each breath, one enters a state of focused meditation.

He began to circulate his internal energy—the "Golden Emperor's Secret Manual."

This advanced source energy cultivation technique currently only has a cultivation chapter, which allows him to open 108 acupoints, enabling his body cells to undergo transformation and break through to the Sky Soaring Realm.

However, there is no chapter on soaring through the sky, nor any content on how to cultivate the Soaring Through the Sky Realm.

In the past, their Blue Star also had cultivation techniques for the Sky Soaring Realm, but they were few in number.

He will most likely go to Ruins No. 9 and choose to pass the test to obtain the inherited cultivation technique.

But now there is the Lieyang Dao Academy, which contains the Wanfa Pavilion and countless cultivation techniques and secret manuals.

There is no shortage of cultivation techniques for the Sky Soaring Realm. He has already heard that Overlord and Mountain and River King have changed their cultivation techniques.

After breaking through to the Sky Realm, he will also begin to cultivate a new technique.

"Breathe~blow~"

As I breathed, the Divine Elixir I had taken began to take effect, and waves of cool sensation spread throughout my body.

His head, in particular, gave him a comfortable feeling of sleep, and he began to mobilize his qi and blood, which slowly surged to his head.

The head contains important organs such as eyes, nose, ears, mouth, tongue, and brain.

The eight acupoints are located within them.

Within his body, 100 acupoints emerged, like golden vortexes, silently connecting with each other.

The power flows through the body, and now only the last 8 acupoints are needed to connect and circulate, allowing the body to undergo its final transformation.

The immense spiritual power mobilized the blood and qi to begin its assault, starting with the acupoints located at the back of the head.

He carefully mobilized his qi and blood to exert the force.

"boom!"

The next instant, a sharp pain made his body tremble uncontrollably.

It hurts so much!
Lin Qi had not expected that the acupoints on his head would be so painful, as if sharp thorns were piercing his nerves.

"Huh~"

He began to adjust his breathing and exert force, gradually reducing the intensity as instructed in the exercise, using the techniques described.

"Buzz!!"

In a short while, Lin Qi felt a continuous stinging pain.

However, this pain was suppressed during the treatment.

The cooling sensation reduced the pain, allowing him to continuously stimulate the acupoints.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Lin Qi endured the pain, feeling as if he were undergoing surgery, and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

"puff!"

At one moment, a strange sound, accompanied by intense pain, brought a unique sense of comfort to my heart.

Then, streams of heat surged into the acupoints.

101 vortexes appeared, and he successfully opened 101 acupoints!
"boom!"

With a surge of heat, Lin Qi opened his eyes, and the cells in his body instantly became active.

Cells begin to transform, physical strength increases dramatically, and power flows out continuously.

In an instant, Lin Qi felt a lightness as if he had left his body, as if his soul had left his body.

This feeling comes and goes just as quickly.

Ultimately, it transformed into a sense of power.

Lin Qi could feel his power increasing dramatically, fueled by a continuous flow of energy.

Opening this acupoint provides a greater boost than opening five acupoints.

Is this what a stronger foundation looks like?
"Whoo~"

Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the time on the wall.

The entire process took him eight hours from start to finish.

[You have taken a new potion—Divine Acupoint Liquid—and, despite the pain, successfully opened the 101st acupoint. Your physical strength has been greatly enhanced, and your Qi and Blood value has increased by 100.]

[Qi and Blood Value: 39200 → 39300]

……

Lin Qi looked at the increase in Qi and Blood value on the panel, although the increase was only 100.

However, his physical fitness has improved significantly.

"drop!"

He then turned on the virtual bracelet and quickly logged into the virtual universe.

……

In his personal space, on the spacious training ground, Lin Qi's figure appeared out of thin air. He moved his body, having just broken through, and the virtual bracelet was able to scan him immediately.

"Dark blue!"

"I'm here!"

The next instant, a woman in a tight-fitting bodysuit with delicate features appeared in deep blue.

"Please build me a small mountain; I want to test my physical fitness."

Deep Blue nodded and said, "Okay!"

"boom!!"

The next instant, a massive mountain, 10 meters high, appeared before Lin Qi, its rough surface radiating a heavy aura.

"I should also test my current physical condition."

"And the virtual world of the universe can test a martial artist's physical fitness."

Lin Qi clenched his fists, his arm veins bulged, his muscles bulged, his heart pounded powerfully, and a continuous stream of power surged forth.

A terrifying golden light emanated from his body, and three layers of golden patterns emerged, revealing his sharp edge.

The Golden Emperor's Qi flowed through his body.

Blood and qi surged, the power of 101 acupoints was released, and the cells instantly boiled.

"boom!!"

He suddenly threw a punch, unleashing terrifying power like a planet, his fist speed breaking the sound barrier, shooting out like a rocket.

It blasted out with tremendous force, tearing through the surrounding air.

"Oh!"

Accompanied by streaks of golden light and enveloped in fist energy, the moment his fist struck the mountain, a huge crack appeared and quickly spread out.

The entire mountain exploded instantly, turning into countless fragments of rock that sprayed out, along with a large amount of dust.

A deep blue projection screen appeared beside them, displaying the data: "2600000 kg!"

After seeing the data, Lin Qi nodded secretly and said:
"2600 tons of force!"

"Even with the 5x power boost, my actual punching power should be 520 tons!!"

"Such power has completely surpassed that of ordinary Sky-Soaring Realm martial artists!"

A martial artist at the Ninth Realm possesses strength between 250 and 1000 tons.

He has already surpassed halfway; once he unlocks the remaining seven acupoints, his power will be even greater.

"Test the speed again!"

"Boohoo!!"

Lin Qi charged forward from the spot, transforming into a golden lightning bolt. He shot out from his spot, traversing through the air. His speed had already broken the speed of sound, and he exploded with sonic booms.

"Hoohoo!!"

With a howling wind, he reached the edge of the training ground in no time.

A deep blue light appeared beside it, projecting a screen that displayed a string of data: "1200m/s".

Upon seeing the data, Lin Qi immediately smiled.

His current full-power burst, with the [Golden Light] ability and a 5x amplitude, is already capable of reaching 3 times the speed of sound.

"As long as the wanted criminal in the universe I'm facing isn't at the peak of the Sky Soaring Realm, I have a chance to win."

Lin Qi felt the immense power within him, which gave him tremendous confidence.

The thought of the wanted criminal in the universe made him feel pressured, and at the same time, his body was also incredibly excited.

……

In the universe, within the solar system.

In the vacuum, a blade-shaped spaceship is rapidly approaching Earth.

Inside the spacious spaceship, in a conference room, countless men and women, all dressed in various battle suits, with strong physiques and powerful auras, gathered together.

At a glance, there were easily over a hundred people.

On the high platform, eight figures sat in smart chairs. They exuded a powerful aura, were more powerful than the others, and were on a completely different level of life.

They divided everyone into eight small groups.

Before everyone's eyes, a large screen was projected, displaying a star map with the red dot representing their spaceship rapidly approaching the planet.

One of the eight men, a burly man with green skin, stood up and shouted:

"Everyone, we are less than a day away from the home planet of the Blue Star civilization!"

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"We're finally here. After flying in space for months, I've been so frustrated because I can't log into the virtual space network."

"I need to relax properly. I've seen the people of the Blue Star civilization; their women are truly beautiful!"

"It will definitely taste great!"

"Me too, I need to relax too!"

"It's been several years since I last smelled blood!"

"Anyway, there are trial planets. Once I enter one, no one can find me. I can stay there for hundreds of years without any problem."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion. Some wanted to vent their frustrations by going to Blue Star, while others had a clear goal: to enter the trial planet and acquire resources. The noise was as loud as a marketplace.

Among the eight beings at the second level of the Universe Realm, one tall, dark-skinned man with a prominent scar on his left eye, indicating he was completely blind, exuded a fierce aura. He laughed loudly:
"After we arrive on Earth tomorrow, we'll all go our separate ways, and I won't have to see your faces anymore."

"I'm going to find my opportunity."

A short, stocky man with a large head sneered:

"We're all wanted criminals in the universe, and we all feel uncomfortable when we're all together."

"If it weren't for coming to Earth, I would have killed you long ago!"

The one-eyed man sneered, "Me too!"

"Quiet!"

The burly, green-skinned man roared, unleashing a terrifying pressure that instantly silenced everyone.
"According to the information received, the planetary defense platform of the Blue Star civilization only has detection capabilities and is not equipped with orbital cannons!"

"So they already know we're coming, but they can't kill us in space."

"We will arrive on Earth tomorrow to attack. The Earth civilization is prepared to kill us."

"Everyone, disperse!"

"Since you agreed to come to Earth, you should be mentally prepared. If you die, you can't blame anyone else!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Fortune favors the bold, and as wanted criminals across the universe, they naturally understood this principle.

“Guo, we naturally understand this principle!” the one-eyed man said.

Gu Ao nodded after hearing this, understanding that soon, drastic changes would occur among everyone on the spaceship.

……

January 28th, 2049 in the Martial Arts Calendar, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

On the evening of the 27th, the entire Xia Kingdom was notified to have a holiday and to stay at home and not go out.

"Urgent notice: On January 28th, everyone is required to stay home and not leave their residence..."

Countless people were filled with confusion after seeing the emergency notice.

"What happened? Why were we suddenly told not to go out?"

"I don't know, but since they say we can't go out, then we shouldn't go out!"

"If anything happens, I won't be responsible!"

"..."

Many people stayed at home with trepidation and doubt.

……

Cangzhou Province, Tianhai City, Yujing Haoting Residential Community.

In residence number five.

"Xiaoqi, what happened? Why were we suddenly told not to go out?"

In the living room, Lin Zhen asked curiously.

Lin Qi, now dressed in a black and gold battle suit, began to explain:

"The wanted criminals from outer space have arrived. There are many of them. If a war breaks out, we're afraid innocent people will get hurt..."

Lin Zhen nodded after hearing this: "I understand. I will tell the others not to go out."

"be careful!"

Mom Fang Huiyi also offered her advice.

Lin Qi smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, with my current strength, the probability of me dying is extremely low."

"gone!"

After finishing speaking, he went out and came to the backyard, where he saw the all-black Falcon fighter jet parked in place.

"Xiao Chan!"

"Buzz!"

Xiao Chan, the blue metal sphere beside him, controlled the Falcon fighter jet to open the hatch, and Lin Qi slowly entered.

"boom!!"

The fighter jets roared into the sky and began to accelerate towards the capital.

Fang Huiyi said worriedly, "I hope Xiaoqi is alright!"

Lin Zhen comforted him, "Don't worry, Xiao Qi is a lucky person, he has extraordinary fortune, nothing will happen to him."
