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

Chapter 630 Attempting to Break Through to the Sixth Level! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Xu Qin's figure reappeared. Looking at her ranking on the panel, she shook her head inwardly.

"We've both awakened two abilities, but the gap between me and Jiang Tao is widening."

"Jiang Tao will most likely awaken a third ability and become a galaxy-level genius!"

She couldn't help but think of Lin Qi, the genius who ranked first on the Blazing Sun Ranking.

Among galaxy-level geniuses, he is also a top-tier existence, comparable to himself.

Seeing Lin Qi now is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky; the difference between the two is too great.

She had a premonition that she wouldn't be able to get past the fourth level of the Starfire Tower.

……

At the same time, the door to Virtual Room 06 slid open silently.

A bright red intelligent robot carrying a large black metal box entered the virtual room.

"Lin Qi, this is your reward!"

"Buzz!"

The intelligent robot slowly spoke, and Lin Qi took the metal box from its hand, placed it on the table, and opened it.

There are six items embedded inside. The first is a flight-defying potion, and the second contains a milky white liquid, which is the Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Milk.

Next were two silver metal spheres, which were the Silver Guardians.

In addition, there was a bloodline evolution potion and a book with a red cover—"The Tower of Starfire".

He took out the secret technique and put the rest into his spatial bracelet.

Xin Huo said, "You continue your cultivation, I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, she controlled the intelligent robot to leave.

Lin Qi was left alone in the virtual room. He opened the secret technique and wondered how to cultivate this spiritual technique.

"There are less than ten days left until the three-month Sunrise Ranking rewards are settled."

"Enough for me to open the 108th acupoint and then cultivate the 'Tower of Starfire'."

"I'm confident I can pass the fifth level and successfully enter the sixth level!"

Lin Qi remained resolute and began to read it!

"Starfire Tower" is a spiritual technique created based on the Starfire Tower, a trial building of the Starfire civilization.

Constructing a Starfire Tower using mental power within the consciousness space requires extremely strong mental control.

Once constructed, the Starfire Tower will exist forever, always in a defensive state.

Once the Tower of Starfire is successfully constructed, the defense of mental power will be greatly enhanced.

It can withstand 80% of spiritual attacks from the same realm.
The impact of a higher realm will be resisted by 50%.
Only sophisticated mental techniques can cause significant damage; it acts like a castle, protecting his consciousness space.

Lin Qi nodded as he read it. Just from the description, he could feel the power of this secret technique.

He quickly read through the entire book, put it down, and began to cultivate.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered the space of consciousness.

"boom!!"

At this moment, the fog had completely disappeared from his mental space.

The spiritual energy had been compressed into a liquid state, like a lake, gathering a vast amount of spiritual energy.

He began to mobilize his mental energy, instantly splitting into thousands of strands of mental energy to begin constructing the Starfire Tower.

He had seen the Starfire Tower, but its construction was not the same as his observation; its internal structure also required mental effort to reorganize.

It is an extremely complex method of mobilizing mental energy.

It's like building a house, but much more complicated.

Without sufficient comprehension and talent, it is impossible to succeed in cultivation.

He finally understood the meaning of "Sparkling Flame," which was the ultimate spiritual technique of the entire Spark Civilization.

"Buzz!"

In the space of consciousness, Lin Qi began to build from the foundation, proceeding step by step in an orderly manner.

"boom!"

Suddenly his body trembled, his blood surged, and he couldn't help but open his eyes.

"Failed!"

Lin Qi opened the red secret manual and began to read it again, then returned to his cultivation.

Meanwhile, the hidden flame was also secretly watching Lin Qi's cultivation, and she could feel the spiritual fluctuations emanating from Lin Qi's body.

Under Lin Qi's control, the cultivation became coordinated and unified, indicating that his mental power was undergoing a tremendous change.

"As expected of the genius who defeated Nandou, his mental talent is also quite impressive!"

"This cultivation speed is already stronger than that of many mentalists."

"Even top geniuses need several months to condense a Starfire Tower!"

"Lynch might be faster!"

Xin Huo thought to himself.

……

Time flies, 10 days later!

Ruins No. 9, Virtual Room No. 06.

Lin Qi, dressed in black and gold armor, sat cross-legged, his expression calm, and powerful mental fluctuations emanating from his body.

He appeared calm, but within his consciousness, a tremendous change was taking place.

A five-story crimson tower suddenly rose up, standing tall in the endless space.

It is exactly the same as the Starfire Tower.

It exudes a heavy aura, like a super tower built from a deep foundation laid on the earth.

The entire Starfire Tower has five floors, and every detail is lifelike, containing endless variations.

But Lynch did not stop building, and a moment later the most crucial moment arrived.

He mobilized his mental strength to carry out the arduous construction, and every step became extremely difficult.

Your brain feels heavy, but the next moment, a refreshing feeling washes over you.

It invigorated him, as if he had gotten a rest and was able to continue building.

Time passed slowly, and finally the last step was reached.

"boom!!"

With the final step completed, the entire Starfire Tower took shape, radiating immense power.

Lin Qi felt enveloped in a sense of security.

It's like a naked body, now clothed, able to reach the heat, the cold, the grime of nature, and the sharp plants of the jungle.

"This feeling……"

Lin Qi was overjoyed; the project had been successfully completed!
Moreover, the effect was immediate; he could feel a tremendous increase in the defense of his mental world.

"boom!"

In the next instant, he felt a huge change occur in his consciousness space.

The lake representing spiritual power began to expand, and his spiritual power was enhanced the moment he successfully cultivated the "Tower of Starfire".

[You have consumed 20% pure Soul Essence and successfully completed the cultivation of the "Starfire Tower". You have condensed the Starfire Tower in your consciousness space, and your mental power has been greatly enhanced. Mental Power +3000]

Template integration accuracy increased by 0.5%.

[Mental Strength: 47000 → 50000]

[Template: Erlang Shen - Yang Jian]

[Integration rate: 45% → 45.5%]

……

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

His mental strength increased by 3000 in one go.

This has brought his mental strength to an astonishing 50000.

That's really amazing.

He's only at the Qi Refining stage.

His mental strength is already far superior to his physical strength.

Now, he has also completed the cultivation of "The Tower of Starfire".

When facing the Zerg Queen again, her mental attacks will lose all effect.

His chances of passing the fifth level of Lieyang Mountain will also increase.

"boom!"

The next instant, Lin Qi opened his eyes, releasing a strong light that allowed him to instantly perceive everything in the entire virtual room.

"Lin Qi, you've mastered it?"

"call out!"

A figure in red, resembling a young girl, was instantly projected onto the flame, leaving her stunned once again.

"You condensed the Starfire Tower in just ten days?"

Lin Qi asked in confusion, "Is that so strange?"

Xin Huo shook his head and said, "Of course that's strange, it's because your cultivation speed is too fast!"

"Most of the geniuses I know need several months, or even a year, to complete their cultivation."

"You actually completed your cultivation in just ten days! You've already set a record for the Starfire Civilization!"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Perhaps it's because I have more talent."

He then sat cross-legged again and took out a bottle of medicine from his spatial bracelet.

It contains a pink liquid called the Divine Elixir.

"Gulu~"

He quickly drank it all in one gulp and continued his cultivation, beginning his attempt to break through to the 108th acupoint.

Looking at Lin Qi, Xin Huo felt that this time, Lin Qi would easily open the 108th acupoint.

The other party seemed to have no bottlenecks in their cultivation of martial arts.

As long as you cultivate, you will experience tremendous improvement.

From this perspective, it's understandable that the other party was able to advance from the peak of the Blood Exchange Realm to the peak of the Aperture Refinement Realm within a year.

"According to the records of the Starfire Civilization, among the top forces, before the second realm of the universe, star system-level geniuses can often cultivate to the peak of the Sky Soaring Realm in just twenty or thirty years."

"Some geniuses are even more amazing; they reach the peak of the Sky-Soaring Realm at the age of 18."

"Before the second realm of the universe, there are almost no bottlenecks; only the growth of the body limits the breakthrough of the realm."

"And Nandou is such a genius!"

"And now it seems that Lin Qi is also such a genius." Xin Huo thought to himself, watching Lin Qi's aura grow stronger and stronger.

"Such a strong life force field, it has completely surpassed the limit of the Qi Refining Realm."

"Even a galaxy-level genius won't do!"

"Could it be... a special physique?"

Xin Huo watched Lin Qi cultivate and secretly speculated in his heart.

"If it really is a special physique, then that's amazing!"

"Those with special physical constitutions appear to be no different from galaxy-level geniuses on the surface."

"Only beings at an extremely high level can perceive this in reality."

"If Lin Qi really has a special physique, he will shine in the Deep Space Genius Competition."

"Perhaps there will be an opportunity to enter the supreme power, and in the future, one might even reach a realm higher than the four realms of the universe."

……

As Xin Huo pondered, Lin Qi entered the acupoints for impact.

He mobilized his qi and blood, and with a significant increase in his spiritual power, he condensed the Starfire Tower.

His control over his mental power has reached a new level, and he can sense any subtle change in his body.

"boom!"

Under his control, the heavy qi and blood were compressed and fused with powerful energy, impacting the brain and the acupoint located at the right temple.

"Buzz!"

His head trembled, generating waves of vibration that aided him in striking the acupoints.

Amidst waves of sharp pain, he began to stimulate the 108th acupoint.

24 hours later
Lin Qi didn't know how long he had been trying, but the difficulty of the 108th acupoint was clearly beyond his imagination.

Like a thick, imposing barrier, it prevented him from ever breaking through.

It took him a whole day to complete the procedure, enduring excruciating pain.

"boom!"

Lin Qi shuddered; after the intense pain, a wave of exhaustion washed over him.

Immediately following was a surge of heat that gushed from the temples and, in a moment, flowed into every part of the body.

In an instant, all 108 acupoints were activated, like 108 star vortexes, with force fields flowing in and out, and the source energy of qi and blood merging together.

It flowed through the 108 acupoints, completely connecting them.

It seemed to form a mysterious trajectory, causing his body to heat up continuously, and his body's cells to become instantly active.

Physical strength has been enhanced once again.

"This feeling……"

Lin Qi felt that the acupoints in his body had been connected, and his connection with heaven and earth had become more intimate.

He felt as if he was about to leave the ground and soar into the sky, but of course, this was just an illusion.

His body had simply become lighter.

His body was undergoing a tremendous transformation, enough to greatly enhance his physical abilities.

Lin Qi knew that this was the prelude to breaking through to the Sky Soaring Realm.

[You consumed the Divine Acupoint Liquid, and after 24 hours, successfully opened the 108th acupoint. You have now successfully opened all acupoints, reaching the peak of the Acupoint Refinement Realm. Your physical strength has increased, and your Qi and Blood value has increased by 99.]

[You can start trying to break through to the Sky Realm!]

[Qi and Blood Value: 39900 → 39999]

……

Lin Qi looked at the information on the panel, exhaled the stale air from his body, and took in the fresh air.

The pores open, and terrifying source energy surges into the body, causing cells to absorb the source energy and undergo transformation.

After a year, he finally reached the true perfection of the Qi Refining Realm.

The next step is to break through to the Sky-Soaring Realm, which is called a titled martial artist on Earth.

It was also my goal when I was a child.

When he was a child, he watched the news about the Crimson Emperor and dreamed of becoming a Ninth Realm Warrior.

We are now only one step away from achieving this goal.

"Lin Qi, congratulations on successfully opening 108 acupoints!"

The torch projected out and offered its congratulations.

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Thank you for your 'Tower of Starfire' which allowed me to open my last acupoint very smoothly."

Xin Huo began to speak:

"108 acupoints. These are all the acupoints in the human body. Even a galaxy-level genius might not be able to open them all."

"Especially the last acupoint, that's the most difficult!"

"This will affect the strength of the Origin Vein condensation in the Sky Soaring Realm, and determine the upper limit of strength."

"And now you can take the Sky-Soaring Potion to allow your body cells to begin transforming and condense your first Origin Vein!"

After hearing this, Lin Qi shook his head and said, "Don't rush, I need to enter the Blazing Sun Academy. The next round of rewards for the Blazing Sun Ranking is about to end."

After listening, Xin Huo nodded and said:
"The Blazing Sun Academy's Blazing Sun Ranking is ingeniously designed, capable of helping geniuses like you from elementary civilizations to progress rapidly."

"If you can receive a reward, your strength will also be further improved."

Lynch nodded. He glanced at the time; it was already the end of April.

There are less than 24 hours left until the reward settlement.

Then he put away his armor and went to bed; he was exhausted.

I spent the last ten days frantically practicing "Starfire Tower".

He spent 24 hours enduring continuous pain to open the last acupoint, which has left him extremely exhausted and in need of rest!
Seeing that Lin Qi had entered a resting state, Xin Huo also voluntarily withdrew.

……

August 30, 2050 (Martial Arts Calendar)

Virtual world of the universe, Lieyang Academy

At the foot of Mount Lieyang, countless martial artists at the Blood Exchange Realm and Qi Refining Realm gathered, a sea of ​​people, the air filled with a restless atmosphere.

"Time flies, another three months have passed in the blink of an eye."

"I feel that my strength has not improved much, and I cannot improve my ranking this time."

"Once this reward distribution is complete, I'm going to start my breakthrough to the Sky Soaring Realm!"

"There are less than three years left until the Deep Space Genius Competition."

"If we can't break through soon, we might end up as cannon fodder."

"I must aim for a higher ranking so that people in my hometown know how strong I am."

"Yes, the Deep Space Genius Competition is about to begin, and all the geniuses in the Blazing Sun Academy are giving it their all."

"No wonder there are more and more geniuses breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm recently; the top 1,000 are being updated almost every day."

"They're all preparing for the Deep Space Genius Competition!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, with the Deep Space Genius Competition being the most talked-about topic.

"Lin Qi from the Blue Star Civilization has arrived!"

Suddenly someone shouted. A large group of people were seen walking towards them from a short distance away.

Everyone exudes a powerful aura.

Leading the way was a man dressed in a black robe with a cold expression; his appearance instantly made him the center of attention.

"Brother Qi, we're sure we'll make it into the top 100 this time!"

Jiang Tao, a burly man with dark skin, spoke, his aura growing increasingly heavy.

He's increasingly exuding the aura of a king of mountains and rivers.

Compared to a few months ago, his demeanor has improved significantly.

Because he has successfully awakened his third ability, becoming a galaxy-level genius.

Become the sixth galaxy-level genius on Earth!
Lin Qi nodded, watching Jiang Tao lead the Seven Realms members into the Blazing Sun Mountain.

Lin Qi looked at Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, Gu Jian, and the others behind him and said:

"Let's go in too!"

He walked at the front, greeting many acquaintances.

Why hasn't Lin Qi chosen to break through yet?

"Troy has already broken through to the Sky Realm. Even if the reward for first place is generous, it is not as good as breaking through to the Sky Realm."

"After all, the Deep Space Genius Competition is less than three years away, so the sooner we break through, the better."

"They're probably waiting for this reward to be distributed!"

"I feel that Lin Qi no longer needs to come. He is currently the number one in the Qi Refining Realm, and no one can surpass him."

"The fifth pass of Lieyang Mountain is not a place that ordinary people can enter."

Ignoring the surrounding discussions, Lin Qi walked straight into the Lieyang Mountain.

Troy appeared in the distance, looking at Lin Qi's back, and had a feeling that the other party might do something that would shock the entire Lieyang Academy.

……

On the endless mountains, Lin Qi, clad in black and gold armor, stood on the ground, looking up at the dark red insect nest that blotted out the sky.

A large number of Zerg warriors flew out from it.

There's also the Zerg Queen with her crimson skin and alluring figure.

[Fifth level of Lieyang Mountain: Kill 3000 Zerg warriors and the Zerg Queen within five hours...!]

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

[The fifth trial of Lieyang Mountain has officially begun!]

Lin Qi held the gun in one hand, and the announcement from the intelligent voice system came to his ear.

A smile played on his lips; today was the day he would enter the sixth level of Lieyang Mountain.

"Om!!"

His gaze was fixed on the Zerg Queen, whose eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and a strong mental fluctuation emanated from her.

From the invisible sky, enormous spiritual spikes shot out.

"boom!"

At the same time, a crimson tower appeared in Lin Qi's consciousness space; it was the Starfire Tower that he had constructed.

The spikes struck the tower as if hitting a steel wall, shattering it instantly.

But Lynch didn't feel anything.
