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

Chapter 643 A Mayfly Sees the Blue Sky! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At night, the base's largest restaurant, the Beast Restaurant...
The largest private room was filled with more than a dozen people, all of whom were the top geniuses of the Black Dragon Base.

The two Sky-Soaring Realm warriors, Beijiang Sword King and Pei Hongfeng, as well as Jiang Tao, an eighth-realm star system-level genius, and top geniuses such as Xu Qing and Shen Heng!

"Old Qin, you're really lucky to have such an outstanding son!"

In the crowd, a tall, middle-aged man who bore a striking resemblance to the Crimson Emperor raised his glass and drank.

Beside him sat a boy who was about 1.7 meters tall, with handsome features, a unique temperament, and an air of arrogance.

"Sorry, I'm late!"

Suddenly a tall figure appeared at the door, and his words silenced the entire private room.

Dressed in a long black and gold robe, with a tall and imposing figure, domineering aura, and cold and stern features, the person who came was none other than Lin Qi.

"Lin Qi, you're here!"

"Qi Ge x 6"

Everyone greeted them!

Lin Qi nodded in response, his gaze quickly falling on the two strangers.

Pei Hongfeng then came forward and introduced them:

"This is the Crimson Emperor, the eldest son of the Pavilion Master!"

Lin Qi looked at the Crimson Emperor, who was the son of the Crimson Emperor and the most talented of the Crimson Emperor's children, a being at the Sky Soaring Realm.

However, his combat strength is relatively ordinary in the Sky Realm, which is somewhat unworthy of the title of the son of the Crimson Emperor.

The Crimson Emperor smiled and said, "I have long admired the name of the Golden Emperor Lin Qi. It is great to finally meet him in real life."

Lin Qi reached out and shook hands with Chi Huang.

Then he pointed to the boy next to him and introduced him:

"Let me introduce you. This is my son, Qin Heng. He's a big fan of yours."

"I've always wanted to meet you!"

Lin Qi looked at Qin Heng, who was the grandson of the Crimson Emperor and held one of the highest positions on Blue Star.

At the same time, as far as he knew, Qin Heng had awakened two completely different abilities: two fire attributes and one water attribute.

This combination has never appeared on Earth.

However, there are quite a few in the universe, and this combination has considerable future potential.

Moreover, unlike himself, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, and the God of War, he did not awaken after reaching adulthood.

This means he has greater potential.

The future looks bright.

Lin Qi laughed and said, "I saw the news. Qin Heng has awakened three abilities and is already a galaxy-level genius!"

"The future is limitless!"

Lin Qi reached out and shook hands with Qin Heng.

Qin Heng, however, revealed a confident smile and said:
"Senior Jin Di, I will surpass you in the future!"

"When I turn 18, I will break through to the Sky Realm."

"Ha ha!!"

Upon hearing this, the others exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

Jiang Tao, in particular, was laughing the most heartily, completely unable to contain himself.

Qin Heng looked puzzled. What was so funny?

He truly believed he could surpass Lynch.

He knew that Lynch had only awakened his third ability at the age of 19.

The Sword King of Beijiang and Pei Hongfeng exchanged a glance, unable to suppress their smiles.

Even the Crimson Emperor couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Jiang Tao smiled and said, "Qin Heng, it's good to have dreams, but you also need to find a goal that you can surpass."

"Jin Di is different from other galaxy-level geniuses."

“You can set me as your goal; I am also a galaxy-level genius.”

Lin Qi then smiled and said:
"I think Qin Heng's goal is pretty good; he has ambition!"

Qin Heng's face flushed slightly, and he was about to retort when he was stopped by the Crimson Emperor.

The Crimson Emperor laughed and said, "Alright, everyone, let's eat!"

The group skipped over that topic and began discussing many of Earth's policies and martial arts cultivation.

……

After dinner, in the living room of a luxurious apartment.

Qin Heng sat on the sofa, looking at his father, Chi Huang, and said resentfully:
"Dad, I don't understand what they were laughing about just now?"

"I am a galaxy-level genius, and I have awakened the abilities of both water and fire."

"It's only a matter of time before he surpasses Lynch in the future."

After hearing this, the Crimson Emperor stood up and said:
"You can say it to the media, but don't take it seriously yourself."

"I forgot to tell you, Lin Qi is different from other geniuses."

"Even among galaxy-level geniuses, there are differences in skill level. Our Blue Star is located in the Milky Way, bordering the Triangulum Galaxy. We both belong to the Sun Star Region, which contains tens of thousands of powerful galaxies."

"In the Blazing Sun Starfield, there is a virtual world called the Blazing Sun Academy, which gathers countless geniuses from ordinary backgrounds from various star systems."

"There are thousands of galaxy-level geniuses, millions of geniuses who have awakened two abilities, and hundreds of millions of geniuses who have awakened one ability."

"Where do you think you rank among these thousands of galaxy-level geniuses, based on your talent?"

Qin Heng's eyes widened; he was completely stunned.

Thousands of galaxy-level geniuses?

Are there really that many geniuses?
It's hard to imagine that with so many geniuses gathered together, he seems to have no advantage at all.

The Crimson Emperor sighed:
"Among these thousands of galaxy-level geniuses, Lin Qi is also the most outstanding. He was received by the dean of the Blazing Sun Academy, who is a being at the third level of the universe."

"Genius is just the threshold to meeting Lynch!"

"When you grow up and enter the Blazing Sun Academy, you will see other geniuses."

"When you break through to the Sky-Soaring Realm, you will understand what it means for a mayfly to see the blue sky!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Heng was so shocked that he was speechless.

My heart was filled with complex emotions.

Shame, fervor, reverence, longing...

……

Outside the solar system, a silver, saucer-shaped spaceship entered.

It was instantly detected by Earth's planetary defense platform.

The headquarters of the Akazyu Martial Arts Hall, a huge workshop.

"An unfamiliar spaceship has entered the solar system. We've found out it's from the Lieyang star system, specifically the Lieyang planet."

"Didn't you just return a few months ago?"

"Why are you here again?"

A tall man in a suit looked puzzled as he saw the spaceship on the screen in front of him.

So he took out his phone and immediately notified the Red Emperor.

A moment later, on the other side of the screen, the tall and imposing Crimson Emperor laughed:

"Don't worry about them, let them in. They're here for Lin Qi!"

The burly man nodded. So he had come for the Golden Emperor. That made sense.

……

The next day.

Lin Qi simply viewed Qin Heng as a minor incident, believing that Qin Heng would naturally understand the vast gap between them when he grew up.

He himself stayed in the martial arts room to train, and now he has mastered the killing moves of the spear technique.

Next, his movement skills also needed to catch up with the progress.

"Master, news of the Crimson Emperor!"

Suddenly, Xiao Chan, dressed in blue, appeared and projected a large green screen.

Meanwhile, the Crimson Emperor's handsome appearance appeared on the opposite side.

"Master!" Lin Qi greeted.

The Crimson Emperor laughed and said, "I heard you saw my little grandson yesterday!"

"He's been a genius since childhood, and now he's transformed into a galaxy-level genius. He's definitely a bit arrogant."

I hope you understand!

Lin Qi waved his hand and laughed, "It's alright, I think having ambition is a good thing."

The Crimson Emperor nodded and said, "There's something I need you to do at headquarters."

"The people from Lieyang Star are arriving!"

"The gift from Dean Yaochen has arrived!"

……

The capital city, the headquarters of the Crimson Sky Martial Arts Hall.

"boom!!"

Amidst the roar of engines, a black Falcon fighter jet slowly came to a stop on the tarmac.

The hatch opened, and Lin Qi, dressed in a black robe, stepped out.

He looked at the silver spaceship in the sky. Compared to the patrol team's, it was several times smaller, only slightly larger than an ordinary fighter jet.

The fighter jet is marked with distinctive red patterns and symbols, resembling a fiery star.

Just looking at the marks gives you the burning sensation of staring directly at the sun.

That was a spaceship representing the planet Lieyang.

By observing, Lin Qi could sense that the metal used in the spaceship was far superior to that of the Flowblade Civilization's spaceships, and even superior to that of the Inspector's spaceships.

Lin Qi slowly entered the headquarters, and his arrival instantly sparked a great deal of discussion.

"The Golden Emperor has arrived!"

"I saw the news too, it's amazing!"

"There's a lot of discussion online that Lin Qi's fighting strength might already be enough to challenge for the top 3!"

"He's only 22 years old! That's amazing!"

Listening to the discussions around him, Lin Qi took the elevator to the top floor, where he arrived at the museum owner's office.

On the classic-style sofa sat two people: the Crimson Emperor in a white robe and a man with rock-like brown skin and a resolute face.

He was over 2.5 meters tall, and his aura became more subdued.

However, Lin Qi could still sense the hidden aura of the other party.

The opponent's realm is at least at the second level of the universe, similar to that of the guards of the Tu Lan Inspector.

"Lin Qi, you've arrived!"

The Crimson Emperor greeted them with a smile. The burly man, as imposing as a boulder, also smiled and said:

"Lin Qi, hello!"

"Let me introduce myself. I am from Lieyang Star in the Lieyang Galaxy. My name is Heto. I have been entrusted by Lord Yaochen to deliver a gift to you!"

You can call me Heto!

Lynch nodded: "Herto, hello, thank you for bringing the things over!"

Herto shook his head politely and said:
"It's not hard work, I applied for this myself."

"It is my honor to serve two top geniuses."

"You two are underestimating your own talent!"

“I have worked on Lieyang Star and have seen countless geniuses. Among them, your talents are the most outstanding.”

"Great achievements are destined for him in the future!"

"No one would refuse to befriend a genius."

The Crimson Emperor beside him immediately smiled, and Lin Qi nodded secretly, Heto was right.

Both he and the Crimson Emperor have demonstrated tremendous talent, and they are expected to break through to the fourth realm of the universe in the future.

Lin Qi also sat down on the sofa. He took the hot tea that Chi Di handed him and took a sip.

With a wave of his hand, Heto produced a silver metal briefcase, which also bore the mark of Crimson Star.

"This is a gift from Yaochen, hoping that you can make further progress in the Sky Soaring Realm!"

Lin Qi accepted it without hesitation.

"Thank you so much!"

Herto continued:

"All things considered, using your Earth's timeline, there's still over a year until the Deep Space Genius Competition."

"I hope that both of you can improve your skills quickly and defeat other geniuses in the competition."

"If you two want to enter the supreme power, your current strength is still far from enough."

"Throughout the entire human race's territory, there are hundreds of star domains, some of which are even more powerful than our Blazing Sun Star Domain, and contain even more geniuses."

"And each time, only a few thousand geniuses can enter the supreme forces!"

"Not only are there top geniuses from our Lieyang Star, but there are even more geniuses. The competition is fierce!"

"No one dares to say they are 100% guaranteed to be elected."

"Even experts at the peak of the Sky Soaring Realm, or those at the second level of the Universe Realm, are no exception!"

"Therefore, your current strength is not enough!"

Upon hearing this, both the Crimson Emperor and Lin Qi frowned.

The competition was fiercer than they had imagined.

Even geniuses at the peak of the Sky Soaring Realm and the second level of the Universe Realm lacked confidence.

They have only recently broken through to the top, and they are still a long way from their peak.

……

A moment later, Herto left and began his return to Lieyang Star.

Only Lin Qi and Chi Di remained in the office.

The Crimson Emperor stood up and calmly said:
"Lin Qi, the gifts from Dean Yao Chen are all extremely precious treasures!"

"Enough to significantly boost your strength!"

"But you heard what Heto said too!"

"If we want to join the supreme power, our strength is not strong enough!"

"Only by having someone join the supreme power can we protect our Blue Star."

"Although we are safe for the time being, many dangers still lurk!"

"Like a fishing boat sailing on the sea, any big wave can capsize it."

"I heard that there was once a planet that gave birth to many geniuses. So a powerful being at the fourth level of the universe captured a group of people from that planet, numbering in the millions, for research."

"In the end, the Deep Space Institute intervened and returned a batch of people, but many more had already died."

"The Deep Space Academy barely managed to save the planet, while the martial artist at the fourth level of the universe received no punishment whatsoever."

"I don't want something like this to happen to our planet. We are too weak and need a strong backer."

"The Blazing Sun Academy is not strong enough; only a supreme power can do it."

Lin Qi nodded after hearing this. Their Blue Star was still too weak, and they didn't feel safe enough.

The Crimson Emperor continued, "We all actually owe Heto a favor. He was on his way to Blue Star this time!"

"They've helped us kill a lot of wanted criminals from outer space. If they get to Earth, trouble is bound to happen again."

Lin Qi nodded. This is what human relationships are all about.

He will have to repay the favor in the future, but he is willing to accept it.

They all just wanted to protect Earth.

……

An hour later, Lynch returned to the Black Dragon Base.

I returned to my room, 206.

In the living room, Xiaotian was sleeping on the sofa, revealing his true nature.

By this time, it had grown to resemble a gray-backed giant wolf, with a lithe body and layers of hard scales covering its golden fur.

Lin Qi sensed the metallic and spatial power emanating from Xiaotian.

Every move it makes carries the power of two attributes.

As it grows, the power of metal will become more and more apparent.

He can also use it as a reference to understand the laws of metal.

Martial arts indoor
"Buzz!"

Lin Qi sat cross-legged and took the silver metal briefcase out of his spatial bracelet.

"drop!"

No password required, you can open it directly!

There were three items on the table, and Lin Qi recognized the first one at a glance.

It is a source energy crystal, and there are two of them!
Worth 200 million Deep Space Coins!

Of course, there are two other items with labels on them.

[50% Pure Soul Essence]

Lin Qi looked surprised when he saw it; it was actually 50% pure soul essence.

That's quite expensive; 20% pure Soul Essence requires 100 million merit points, which is 100 Deep Space Coins.

30% purity is worth 1000 Deep Space Coins!
40% purity, worth 10000 Deep Space Coins!
50% purity is worth 100,000 Deep Space Coins!
Inside the metal box were ten bottles of 50% pure Soul Essence, worth 1 million Deep Space Coins.

He recently started taking 50% pure Soul Essence, and the effects are excellent.

With these ten bottles of soul essence, his spiritual power would be greatly enhanced.

"The Tower of Starfire has three levels. Each time you break through a level, your defensive capabilities will increase significantly."

"If we reach the second level, we can not only defend, but also launch a counterattack!"

"To improve, you must possess higher mental strength!"

Lin Qi smiled. He had to admit, Dean Yao Chen was really generous.

As he said, these things are worthless to him.

However, it is expensive for me.

Once he consumes all of them, he will be able to condense at least three source veins, and his combat power will be greatly enhanced.

Then his gaze fell on the last item.

[Bloodvine Medicine]

Upon seeing this, Lin Qi quickly spun the screen, and the corresponding information soon appeared.

His eyes lit up; it was actually a blood vine potion.

Bloodvine Elixir uses ancient bloodvine as its main ingredient, along with other rare and precious herbs, to undergo a chemical reaction that enhances its original effects by dozens of times.

"I didn't expect it to be a blood vine potion. This is much more valuable than ancient blood vine."

Lin Qi was shocked; this item wasn't even on the exchange list for the Flowing Blade Civilization.

Because it was also very precious to them, they had already exchanged it.

Its effect is the same as that of the Ancient Blood Vine, which can greatly improve comprehension in a short period of time.

It's perfect for people stuck at a critical bottleneck, who have accumulated enough experience and are just one step away from taking the final step.

Taking the Blood Vine Elixir can greatly enhance one's comprehension, and perhaps that will allow one to break through the bottleneck.

It is also a very famous medicine in the "Complete Book of Pharmacy".

Many martial artists who are stuck at the fifth level of perfection will try to buy a tube to break through the bottleneck.

The price is extremely high!
One bottle costs 500 million Deep Space Coins!
Lin Qi let out a breath. This potion was too precious; it was priced the same as the bloodline evolution potion.

He's not far from reaching the sixth rank now, thanks to the Bloodvine Potion.

His speed of breaking through to the sixth rank can also be greatly reduced.

Lin Qi looked at the items, which together were worth 800 million Deep Space Coins!

This is a huge sum of money for him!
It's unclear how long it will take for the Fiery Sun Ranking to pay this money.

So he turned on the virtual bracelet and logged into the virtual universe network.

……

Inside the martial arts training building of Lieyang Taoist Academy, which resembles an ancient bronze halberd.

The dean's office on the top floor.

"Buzz!"

The gate opened automatically, and Lin Qi returned for the second time. He was still awestruck by the world of flames once again.

Now that his marksmanship has improved, he can see more things.

These are all life forms condensed from the laws of fire.

After reaching the sixth level, one must begin to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, or the laws of the universe.

However, the principles are profound, and only geniuses can comprehend them.

"Lynch!"

In the center of the office, Dean Yaochen was sitting cross-legged on the floor, just as he had been the last time they met.

"Dean, thank you for the gift!" Lin Qi said, expressing his gratitude.

Yao Chen waved his hand and said:
"These are all worthless things; compared to your talent, they mean nothing!"

"If you can achieve an excellent ranking in the Deep Space Genius Competition, the rewards will only be greater!"
