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

Chapter 639 Future Goals! (Seeking monthly votes)
"Huh~"

An invisible gust of wind blew through the martial arts room, and dazzling golden light emerged from Lin Qi's body.

The Golden Emperor's Qi, as fluid as mercury, flowed rapidly within his body, enveloping the source energy crystals in his stomach.

The moment it was enveloped, it was like a dam being opened, and the source energy inside was suddenly released.

"Hoohoo!!"

Lin Qi's eyes widened, his body trembled uncontrollably, his veins bulged, and a terrifying aura was released, creating a violent gust of wind like a shockwave.

A vast amount of energy is released from the crystals.

His body cells began to frantically absorb the source energy.

Every part of the body is filled with a large amount of source energy, which is absorbed by cells and initiates transformation.

Physical fitness is constantly improving.

At the same time, Lin Qi circulated his Origin Meridian and mobilized his Qi, attempting to condense a second Origin Meridian.

According to the records in the Sky Realm, connect the 12 acupoints on the chest along a specific trajectory.

Although it may not be successful, the process of condensation can still accelerate the digestion of source energy, stimulate acupoints, and allow the body to absorb the vast source energy within.

He feels like he's stuffed right now.

He could only absorb and digest continuously. His body radiated golden light, and three layers of golden patterns appeared, like a flexible tadpole transforming.

three days later

The martial arts room was still filled with rich source energy.

Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes. The heavy flow of qi and blood in his body was complete, and his body's cells were well-nourished and had undergone a complete transformation.

A continuous stream of power surged from within him.

The supremely masculine and sharpest metal power surged from his body, like a tangible metal aura adhering to his body surface.

[You have consumed the Source Energy Crystal and absorbed its immense source energy, greatly increasing your physical strength and increasing your Qi and Blood value by 2000.]

[Qi and Blood Value: 43250 → 45250]

……

Lin Qi slowly stood up, nodding secretly as he looked at the increased Qi and Blood value.

The source energy crystal was even more powerful than he had imagined, actually increasing his health by 2000 points in one go.

This brings him one step closer to condensing his second source vein.

With his talent, it's a certainty that he will condense nine source veins.

Approximately 6000 Qi and Blood points condensed to form a Source Vein.

Now we're only a little over a thousand points away from getting back to full health.

"That million Deep Space Coins was definitely worth it!"

Lynch's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ordinary people don't have 100 million Deep Space Coins."

Therefore, they are unable to purchase source energy crystals to significantly increase their cultivation speed.

It can only be worn down by time.

He still has a source energy crystal on him, enough for him to condense a second source vein.

"Woooooo~"

The next instant, a golden light rushed into his arms. Looking down, he saw it was Xiaotian.

"Hungry……"

Xiaotian released his intense emotions, and his eyes revealed a wronged expression.

Lin Qi glanced at the time and realized that three days had already passed.

"Sorry, three days have passed by in the blink of an eye."

Lin Qi apologized, explaining that although Xiaotian could absorb source energy, his body still felt hungry.

This feeling of hunger is unpleasant.

So he immediately released all the flesh and blood of the calamity beasts.

"Woo~"

"Hey~"

At this moment, Xiaotian rushed into the box as if by teleportation and began to feast.

Lin Qi stretched his body and then walked out of the martial arts room.

Upon entering the living room, I found my younger brother and sister still asleep.

A metal sphere floats in the air nearby, protecting the two children at all times.

Looking at his two children, Lin Qi felt very relaxed, and realized that the whole family was indeed different now.

He touched his younger siblings' faces, then went outside to stroll around the yard.

"Before I knew it, I'm almost 22!"

Lin Qi thought of his birthday, which had already passed.

However, he never considered that he was too young and had thousands of years of life ahead of him.

Having a birthday celebration every year is such a hassle; it's enough to just have a cake at home.

"I have officially graduated."

Lin Qi recalled the message that Dean Liu had sent him yesterday.

Let him return to Cangqiong Martial Arts University and collect his graduation certificate.

He also plans to go back, but only in July.

Feeling the cool breeze on his body, Lynch's senses were heightened, allowing him to clearly see every corner within a hundred-meter radius.

Ants in the grass, other insects, and the textures on the fallen leaves.

You can clearly hear the wind, the airflow, and the sounds of various smart devices operating in the house.

"The essence of nature!"

Lin Qi looked at the courtyard in front of him, where trees grew in abundance and plants flourished.

He calmly felt nature, and his perception was released.

Everything in the air contains primal energy, and trees absorb this primal energy and are slowly changing.

Everything in nature has its own laws, and so does the universe.

The entire universe, everything, is constructed from the power of laws.

Lin Qi's marksmanship is not far from reaching the sixth rank.

The sixth-tier spear technique is still a domain; in addition, one also needs to comprehend a point of the law.

Once you grasp even a little bit of it, your cultivation level will break through to the sixth rank, and your combat power will be greatly enhanced.

The element that resonates most with him is metal, and once he grasps even a little of the laws of metal...

He was able to quickly break through to the sixth level of spear technique.

However, this is difficult.

Countless geniuses at the Sky Soaring Realm are stuck at this step.

Even within the Lieyang Taoist Academy, very few have achieved this.

He is still quite far from mastering the fifth rank, and needs to reach 90% of the fifth rank to comprehend the killing moves of the Golden Edge Five Styles.

Then polish it to 99% of level 5.
Go and comprehend that one point of the Golden Law.

Lin Qi sensed the nature around him and quickly figured out the path he needed to take next.

……

After he finished comprehending it, his marksmanship did not improve, but he gained a deeper understanding of the invisible power of the laws.

He seemed to have gained some insight. This was the culmination of his accumulated experience. At the crucial moment, all his accumulated knowledge and experience came together to unleash a breakthrough.

That evening, Lin Zhen, the father, returned home, bringing with him his uncle Fang Zhe and another acquaintance—Xu Changfeng.

Everyone sat in the living room, eating and chatting.

Having not been seen for a long time, Xu Changfeng's imposing presence had grown even stronger.

He looked at Lin Qi. It was the first time he had met Lin Qi, and the other party was weaker than him, only a fifth-level martial artist.

Two or three years passed in the blink of an eye, and the other party soared to new heights like a rocket.

Sixth Realm, Seventh Realm, Eighth Realm...

Now he has broken through to the ninth realm of aerial flight, becoming the most outstanding martial artist on the entire Blue Star.

Xu Changfeng took a sip of wine and sighed:
"Lin Qi, to be honest, the best decision I've ever made in my life was doing business with you guys."

"Now, the Xu family treats me differently."

"I am truly grateful, and I will definitely help you without delay if you encounter any difficulties in the future."

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Then thank you very much."

My dad hasn't been in business long enough; he still needs Xu Changfeng's help.

He was grateful that the other party was able to help.

……

After dinner, Lin Zhen, the father, and Fang Zhe, the uncle, continued drinking with Xu Changfeng.

They are martial artists with strong physical abilities, and they can drink for hours on end.

Lin Qi himself returned to the martial arts room.

The empty boxes on the ground contained dozens of tons of flesh and blood from level-two calamity beasts, all of which went into Xiaotian's stomach.

After it had eaten its fill, it was now lying in the corner sleeping, its body radiating warmth.

Lin Qi packed away the empty boxes and placed an order online for another 200 tons of Level 2 Disaster Beast flesh and blood.

He, on the other hand, chose to go to bed.

……

The next day, in the virtual world of the universe, at the Lieyang Academy, in front of Lieyang Mountain.

"Lin Qi, you actually broke through?"

"How come it's so fast?"

At this moment, Sun Sheng, dressed in a white robe and tall in stature, looked at Lin Qi and shook his head with a sigh.

Dressed in red, the handsome Li Tianxing said, "That's because you're too weak."

Sun Sheng clenched his fist and said, "I have now opened 101 acupoints. With 7 more acupoints, I will be able to break through to the Sky Soaring Realm."

"Once I get first place, I'll choose to break through!"

Li Tianxing nodded in agreement.
"You can't get first place; you'll only get second."

Sun Sheng scoffed, "Li Tianxing, you've never been able to beat me, and this time is no different."

Lin Qi looked at the two of them, his gaze also falling on the enormous Blazing Sun Ranking.

Now that he has broken through to the Sky-Soaring Realm, he has automatically disappeared from the Refinement Ranking.

It will be even more difficult to break into the top 100 of the Sky Realm.

Following Lin Qi's gaze, Sun Sheng, who was standing next to him, also looked at the Blazing Sun Ranking.

"Lin Qi, it's not easy to get into the top 100 of the Sky Soaring Realm rankings."

"Many geniuses, without breaking through, choose to stay in the Sky Realm in order to get a higher ranking in the Deep Space Genius Competition."

"Therefore, there are not only top geniuses who have just broken through to the Qi Refining Realm, but also geniuses who have already reached the peak of the Sky Soaring Realm."

"The current Sky Soaring Realm Blazing Sun Ranking can be said to have gathered the most geniuses." "The difficulty of entering the top 1,000 has increased several times compared to other times."

Li Tianxing also spoke up: "That's right, none of our ninth-realm warriors on Blue Star have chosen to break through to the second realm of the universe."

"For example, Senior War God has already reached the peak of the Sky Soaring Realm and is currently ranked 5th."

"Nobody wants the God of War to break through, after all, there are only two years left."

"If we break through now, we might be eliminated in the Triangulum Galaxy selection competition during the Deep Space Genius Competition."

"Master, that's why they chose to break through when there was no way to continue suppressing it."

"With the master's talent, he is among the top even among all the Sky-Soaring Realm martial artists."

Lin Qi nodded as he looked at the rankings. Although the God of War's talent and combat power were both quite good.

He was able to rank 5th on the Lieyang List.

However, everyone felt that there was a huge gap between the God of War and the Crimson Emperor.

Even in the Deep Space Genius Competition, he would be among the top.

Moreover, the Crimson Emperor is the richest person on Blue Star, and he has no shortage of cultivation resources.

The speed at which one's realm advances will only be faster.

The God of War is out of the question; breaking through to the second realm of the universe is too risky for him.

It would be embarrassing if you weren't good enough and got eliminated early.

Then we'll have to wait another hundred years.

"Whoo~"

Lin Qi looked at the Blazing Sun Ranking and smiled:
"It's more interesting when there are many experts; otherwise, it's too easy to reach the top, and the training effect on me isn't strong enough!"

"Let's go!"

After saying that, he took the lead and stepped into the Lieyang Mountain.

Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing exchanged a glance and then entered Lieyang Mountain together.

……

Above the majestic mountains, the sky was shrouded in a dark red sphere that blotted out the sun.

Lin Qi, clad in black and gold armor, appeared, wielding a black and gold spear in one hand, his entire body radiating a golden aura.

He stood with both feet on the rocks on the ground.

Looking up at the thousand-meter-tall insect nest in the sky, a terrifying pressure was released, and an intense sense of oppression enveloped the entire mountain.

With his breakthrough, the insect hive became even larger, and the oppressive aura it emitted became even more terrifying.

Under this oppressive force, even martial artists at the Qi Refining Realm can only unleash half of their full strength.

[Congratulations, Lin Qi, martial artist from the Blue Star civilization, on successfully breaking through to the first realm of the Universe: Soaring Through the Skies!]

[Due to your breakthrough in cultivation level, you will be transferred to the Sky Soaring Realm Blazing Sun Ranking. Your ranking will need to be recalculated!]

[The first level of Lieyang Mountain: Please kill 100 Zerg warriors...]

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

[The first test has officially begun!]

……

Lin Qi looked at the pop-up message and realized that he had broken through to the Sky Soaring Realm. The test content was no different from that of the Aperture Refining Realm.

The only difference is that all the opponents have become Sky Realm experts.

"Boohoo!!"

Soon, all 100 Zerg warriors flew out of the hive.

Compared to those at the Qi Refining stage, their bodies have become more robust, and their auras have become stronger.

Every muscle and shell seemed to have undergone a transformation, and its aura became even more terrifying.

However, this pressure was like a gentle breeze to Lin Qi, having no effect whatsoever.

"One hundred Zerg warriors? That's really not enough!"

Lin Qi sighed inwardly, recalling that he had faced 5000 Zerg warriors.

In retrospect, 100 Zerg warriors are indeed too few.

"boom!!"

The next instant, the alluring Zerg Queen unleashed a mental shock.

This time, it released mental spikes tens of meters long, piercing through the void as if they could pierce through everything.

Lin Qi sensed danger, and the Starfire Tower in his consciousness space instantly appeared.

"block!!"

The Starfire Tower trembled as if struck by a giant hammer, its spikes shattering and causing the tower to roar.

Lynch's brain was also jolted, but fortunately, the damage was not completed.

"The Zerg Queen's mental strength has also increased significantly."

"Shhhhhh!"

Facing the charging Zerg warriors, Lin Qi burst forth from the spot, activating his Source Meridian and unleashing the heavy Qi within his body.

Golden spear energy condensed around his body and shot out wildly.

Because of its incredible speed, it broke the sound barrier.

“Bang bang bang!!”

The air exploded, releasing countless sharp points that cut through the surrounding air.

The Zerg warrior struck by the spear's energy shattered its hard carapace instantly, the energy piercing through its body and exploding, its body blasted apart and reduced to nothingness, dying instantly.

Their combat strength is far inferior to that of Rouyu, Lin Qi's former opponent.

The opponent's blades were only on par with his own internal energy.

Not to mention ordinary Zerg warriors.

More than 30 Zerg warriors were killed at the start of the battle.

Lin Qi followed closely behind, charging into the midst of the Zerg warriors.

Golden threads appeared, and within the golden domain, all the Zerg warriors were suppressed.

"Puff puff puff~~"

Lin Qi displayed his spear technique, thrusting out the long spear in his hand. The spear tip trembled, like golden threads.

It instantly pierced through the bodies of all the Zerg warriors.

Under Lynch's attacks, the Zerg warriors were like targets, their bodies pierced through.

They were all insectoid warriors from the Sky Realm, and none of them were considered weak by any civilization.

But now they are being easily slaughtered.

Ten minutes later, all the Zerg warriors were dead.

Level 1 complete.

Lin Qi didn't bother to read the pop-up message carefully and directly chose to enter the second level.

"Buzz!!"

In the second level, the opponents became 300 Zerg warriors, and the Zerg Queen's mental attack was further intensified.

However, it had little effect on Lin Qi; the spear beam shot out and easily pierced through the Zerg warrior's body.

After the "Golden Emperor's Secret Manual" was perfected, the power of his released internal energy became even stronger.

It took 30 minutes to pass the second level of Lieyang Mountain.

Next is the third level of Lieyang Mountain, where the number of Zerg warriors has increased to 500, and 50 fire ant warriors have also appeared.

Lin Qi also felt the pressure; the Hive Queen had become even stronger.

Moreover, the fire ant warriors are also very strong.

As soon as the battle began, the Queen Mother launched the first attack.

"Buzz!!"

“Ding ding!!”

Within the consciousness space, the Starfire Tower continuously emitted a booming sound, and Lin Qi's brain began to feel dizzy.

"This is bad. The Zerg Queen's strength has increased significantly, and my mental power can't withstand it."

Lin Qi shook his head. Although his spiritual power had long since broken through to the Sky-Soaring Realm, and he had even cultivated the "Tower of Starfire"...

When practicing the Qi Refining Realm, one is invincible.

However, this doesn't work once you reach the Sky Soaring Realm.

"Boohoo!!"

At the same time, the fire ant warriors charged to the front, their bodies enveloped in crimson flames, and the crimson scythes on their arms cleaved through space.

He slashed at Lin Qi with lightning speed!
"Pfft~"

But what awaited him was a fatal shot, which pierced his chest and killed him instantly.

"Bang bang!"

At the same time, other Zerg warriors launched ranged attacks.

Lin Qi had to use his movement techniques to dodge; he couldn't fly, and his agility in flying was too poor, making him a sitting duck.

He was all too familiar with being surrounded.

The Golden Light Combo was unleashed, this time a two-hundred-hit combo!

The improvement in his physical fitness and the retraining of his internal energy allowed him to operate his power techniques more smoothly.

“Puff~~”

The moment the attack was launched, two Zerg warriors were riddled with holes.

With each swing of their guns, Zerg warriors fell.

He knew the "World-Destroying Gun Manual" by heart.

Now, with the advancement of my realm and the improvement of my perception, my ability to mobilize my cells has become even more powerful.

The difficulty of controlling cells is also decreasing sharply, and in a short time, a large number of insights have emerged in his mind.

As his marksmanship improved, so did his movement skills.

They became more agile, acted faster, and their attacks and defenses were more fluid.

Golden Light Combo
Killer move—Iron Prison!
Killer move—Instant Shadow Thousand Lights!
Jin Feng's Five Styles!

Aside from the ultimate move of "Golden Edge Scroll"—Thousand Mountains Split—I haven't mastered it.

He had mastered all the other moves and used them with fluid grace in battle.

In the battle against the Zerg warriors, the opponents fell one by one.

after an hour
In the moment when Lin Qi was distracted by the Zerg Queen's attack, he was overwhelmed by the Zerg warriors.

[Lin Qi, warrior from the Blue Star civilization, unfortunately you have died. Time taken: 1 hour, 5 minutes, and 32 seconds!]

Congratulations on your ranking on the Blazing Sun Ranking! You've improved from 1200th to 345th!

[Would you like to spend 100 Deepspace Coins to continue the test?]

……

　Thank you to reader Rain in the Stars for the 100 reading coins.
