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

Chapter 648 The Kill Begins! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The black-robed war god looked around and said:

"Almost everyone on our planet Earth is online now."

Jiang Tao looked around and exclaimed, "There are so many people! We are currently in the contestant plaza of the Triangulum Galaxy, where there are a total of 11 billion Sky Realm contestants!"

Sun Sheng said indifferently:

"With so many people, 99% may have to be eliminated within 30 days."

Li Tianxing, clad in blood-red armor, spoke:

"We still need to be cautious."

Lynch looked at the large blue screen on the ceiling.

[Actors' Plaza (Triangulum Galaxy)]

[Countdown: 1 hours]

[Number of users online: 15,891,123,14]

With more than an hour to go before the start of the competition, more and more players are logging on, and they can only wait patiently.

"They are the Triangle Clan!"

Suddenly Sun Sheng spoke, and everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.

In the distance, there was a group of people gathered in an area, their aura more domineering and powerful than those around them.

Regardless of gender, they all have a sharp, single horn on their head, which is three colors and seems to contain a powerful force. They gather together and are out of place among the people around them.

They also displayed an arrogant expression when faced with discussions from other civilizations.

"Most of the 11 billion Sky-Soaring Realm warriors are trash from weak civilizations!"

"They're all cannon fodder!"

"It will be eliminated in just a few days, and this time our Triangle Clan will take up 90% of the spots!"

"Today is the first day, I will hunt down 100 people!"

"I'm going to hunt down 200 people!"

"My goal in this elimination round is to make it into the top 100!"

"Want to have a competition?"

The Triangle Clan members discussed the matter without restraint, not caring at all if people from other civilizations heard them.

"That's incredibly arrogant!"

"They have the right to be arrogant; the Triangle Clan is too powerful."

"I'll definitely avoid them if I run into them."

Sun Sheng and the others also heard their voices.

Lin Qi, Jiang Tao, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, the God of War, and others exchanged glances. Jiang Tao said unhappily:
"That's incredibly arrogant!"

"But they were unlucky enough to run into our Blue Star civilization!"

"We'll have to teach them a lesson in the later stages of the first round!"

Sun Sheng, dressed in a golden robe, also rubbed his hands together eagerly and said:

"I just hope I don't run into them, but I'm not going to avoid them!"

"If we encounter them, we'll eliminate them immediately!"

He was confident because the Triangulum Galaxy only has 158 galaxy-level geniuses.

It's not as good as the Blazing Sun Ranking in the Blazing Sun Academy, which at least has more than 600 star-level geniuses.

He fears no one except a few geniuses.

"Contestants from the Triangulum Galaxy!"

Just then, a huge blue star appeared in the sky, which then transformed into a human figure.

He stood tall and straight, wearing the distinctive blue uniform of the Deep Space Institute. He had fair skin, an elegant demeanor, and the power to destroy everything.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a vast starry sky, drawing everyone in irresistibly.

He slowly said:

"Welcome to the Deep Space Genius Tournament! I am Xi Yuan, the head of the Deep Space Academy's Lieyang Star Region Branch!"

"Today we will hold the first round of elimination matches for the major galaxies."

"According to the rules of the Deep Space Genius Competition, there are 11 billion participants in this Triangulum Galaxy competition, and you will be randomly assigned to 10 planets."

"All 10 planets contain land cities with a surface area of ​​2 million square kilometers!"

"Each planet will host over 100 million contestants, with 15 times the standard gravity!"

"The first round lasts 30 days. Everyone only has one life; death means elimination!"

"At the start of the match, one point is awarded for each kill. Once you have more than two points, you can earn one-third of the points for each kill."

"After 30 days, the scores of all contestants will be tallied, and the top 1000 contestants will advance to the first round."

"At the same time, we will update the rankings of each planet in real time..."

"Next, all contestants, please prepare yourselves, as you will be deployed to 10 planets!"

As Xi Yuan continued to explain the rules, the atmosphere in each contestant's plaza became increasingly tense.

“Ding ding!!”

As the sound of bells rang out, Xi Yuan raised his hand, and everyone transformed into blue stars that soared into the sky, each being teleported to one of ten different stars.

……

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of star systems across the entire human universe simultaneously began the first round of the elimination tournament.

At the same time, the Triangulum Galaxy will send the live stream link to the entire cosmic virtual network.

Anyone who logs in can watch, and people on countless planets have begun watching the live stream of the first round of the Deep Space Genius Competition.

At this moment on Earth, countless families—students on holiday, parents, and martial artists practicing—have all started live streaming.

In the spacious living room of apartment number 5 in the Yujing Haoting residential complex in Tianhai City.

The burly Lin Zhen projected a huge screen in his living room.

“The game begins!”

"So many people!"

"That's a huge number of people! A whopping 3000 billion viewers are watching the live stream, and the number is still skyrocketing."

"As expected of the number one tournament for the entire human race."

Lin Zhen exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the number of viewers on the live stream.

Following the instructions, 10 planets appeared in front of him. He searched for Lin Qi's name and quickly located him on planet number 6.

"Xiao Qi is on Planet 6, but we can't lock onto Xiao Qi's location; we can only watch the official camera footage."

Lin Zhen shook his head, sat back on the sofa, and hugged Lin Xiao.

Next to her was Fang Huiyi, who was holding Lin Zhaoyue as they watched the Deep Space Genius Competition together.

……

Planet 6!
[Player Lin Qi, please select equipment to find...]

"Buzz!"

A moment later, under the azure sky.

Lin Qi, dressed in black and gold armor, appeared out of thin air, wielding a black and gold spear in one hand.

With his feet on the ground, he looked around and found himself atop a skyscraper.

Through his line of sight, he could see that this was a steel city, filled with skyscrapers made of various alloys.

[Contestant Lin Qi, you are currently on Planet 6!]

Planet 6 has 15 times the standard gravity...

You will need to stay on Planet 6 for 30 days.

[The first round of the elimination tournament officially begins at this moment!]

Number of participants: 1,158,989,999

Lynch moved his body, feeling 15 times the standard gravity, which, when converted to the weight of Earth, is 10 times the gravity.

He moved his body, and sure enough, it was slower than it was on Earth!
The stronger the gravity, the less damage it can cause.

Moreover, he would need to stay there for 30 days without any supplies.

Fortunately, the air is filled with abundant source energy, which can be absorbed to restore physical strength.

"It's a pity there are no medicines. The speed of recovery from absorbing source energy will be slower. If I get seriously injured by other players, it will be too dangerous."

Lin Qi shook his head; he only had one life.

Every player needs to be wary of sneak attacks from others.

Then he looked at the pop-up panel.

[Contestant: Lin Qi (Blue Star Civilization)]

【Points: 0】

[Planet Ranking: 1,0958,9999]

Number of survivors: 10,958,999

……

Lin Qi frowned as he looked at his data and ranking.

"It's only just begun, and people have already been eliminated?"

The original 110 million participants suddenly decreased by 220,000!

"And there are quite a lot of them!"

“How cruel!”

Lin Qi shook his head inwardly, watching his ranking steadily rise.

It wasn't because he killed several players, but because more and more players were being killed.

That's why his ranking kept rising.

He stood still, releasing his spiritual perception, 500 meters, 1000 meters, 1500 meters.

He quickly reached his limit.

"puff!!"

In his mental perception, hundreds of figures quickly appeared, and as soon as they were teleported out, they began a frenzied battle.

The powerful force shattered the surrounding environment.

The entire planet is only 2 million square kilometers, less than half the land area of ​​Earth.

More than 1 million martial artists are scattered among them, possessing top-notch speed, flight capabilities, and perception abilities.

Finding an opponent is not difficult; hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of players may gather in the same city.

"Puff~"

In a short while, a burly man killed two opponents around him, successfully gaining two points.

Lin Qi stood still, and after sensing it, he fell into deep thought.

Should I take action now?

"The opponents in the early stages were weak and didn't have many points."

"Perhaps I should wait 20 days until the weaker ones are eliminated and only the strong ones remain. Even if it's only one-third, it will still be a huge sum."

"The only downside is that you can only get one-third of the points."

"It's not difficult for me to get into the top 1000; what I need is a higher ranking."

"Hey~"

Just as Lin Qi was pondering, a streak of silver light rushed towards him from afar.

A burly man clad in silver armor flew swiftly through the air, radiating an aura of thunder.

He just defeated 26 opponents with his powerful strike, earning 26 points in one go.

Seeing his immense strength, all his other opponents fled, and he is now chasing after the remaining contestants. "You can't escape!"

He swung his giant battle axe, and lightning-infused axe energy instantly materialized.

He slashed at the ground not far away, and saw a tall woman in blue armor running quickly.

"Boom!!"

Struck by the axe's force, amidst a violent explosion, blood was embedded in the earth, sending up clouds of dust.

The ground was broken and spiderweb-like cracks appeared, and a large chunk of the high-rise building was sheared off.

The burly man in silver armor landed on the ground, swung his giant battle axe, and delivered the final blow to his opponent, finishing him off.

Seeing that he had gained 4 more points, he immediately smiled.

"Too weak, too weak!"

"The Sky-Soaring Realm warriors from other civilizations are too weak. At this rate, I might be able to break into the top 1000."

His eyes were sharp as he continued searching for other contestants.

When he released his senses and looked up at Lynch on the skyscraper, his eyes lit up.

"Interesting, it didn't run away when it saw me!"

"Another one feeding kills!"

"Then I'll accept it without mercy."

Wielding the giant axe in his hand, thunderous axe energy instantly condensed and slashed out like a thunder god.

His fighting style is fierce and domineering; his powerful strikes are earth-shattering, and a direct confrontation would feel like being struck by lightning.

"Die!"

"boom!"

A ten-meter-long silver lightning axe tore through the surrounding air, carrying a whistling sound as it slashed towards the skyscraper.

If it hits the building, the entire building will shatter instantly.

"court death!"

Lin Qi sneered; this guy was really asking for death.

"boom!!"

His whole body burst forth with golden light, three layers of golden patterns emerged, and heavy golden imperial energy surged from his body.

"Buzz!"

The golden spear energy shot out, instantly piercing through the air and colliding with the thunderous axe energy. It shattered the axe energy, pierced through the chest of the silver-armored strongman, and exploded.

"how is this possible?"

Seeing the three layers of golden patterns on the other person's body, the silver-armored strongman knew he had run into a brick wall.

"Why am I so unlucky!"

"Pfft~"

The air exploded, and the silver-armored giant flying in the air burst apart like fireworks, dying instantly.

Points +10
Lin Qi looked at the extra points on the panel and immediately shook his head.

He originally wanted to keep a low profile, but some people were just asking for trouble.

"Since that's the case, then let's go on a killing spree!"

Lynch changed his mind instantly.

It's better to take the initiative; after all, there aren't many things stronger than us in the Triangulum Galaxy.

Even if they do encounter each other, they will tacitly agree not to fight.

Thus, a vast spiritual force was released from the consciousness space, splitting into thousands of strands that wove into a large net, leaving no one out.

"Oh no, Gru was instantly killed?"

"He ran into a brick wall!"

"He's actually a galaxy-level genius!"

"What bad luck! How did we end up running into one of the 158 galaxy-level geniuses?"

"Run!"

Hundreds of figures scattered and fled, their various colors flashing; they were warriors at the Sky-Soaring Realm.

In just a few seconds, they can sprint several kilometers, and there's a high probability they can escape.

Meanwhile, Lin Qi released his mental perception and quickly locked onto a figure within a 100-meter radius.

A red-skinned man watched as the silver-armored giant in the sky was stabbed to death with a single spear thrust, and his heart pounded wildly.

"Gru was killed instantly by a single shot! He was a master who had condensed five source veins, how could he die so easily?!"

"This is a top-tier expert!"

"I'm so unlucky. Besides Gru, there's also a top-tier expert."

"Run! Or you'll be waiting to die!"

"Damn it, how come I'm the closest one?"

Suddenly, he got goosebumps all over his body, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

A strong, sharp edge emanated from him.

In his perception, a golden spear aura pierced through the air and shot out instantly.

The goal is oneself.

He turned his head, and a flash of golden light appeared before his eyes. The golden spear energy, like a real spear, pierced through his armor.

Points +2
Lin Qi didn't look at the rankings; after all, 100 million people was too many, and paying too much attention to it was pointless.

He sensed dozens of targets, especially those flying in the sky, which were sitting ducks for him.

"Boohoo!!"

The golden spear energy, after being highly compressed, shot out like a sharp arrow.

“Puff~~”

The spear beam shot out at several times the speed of sound, instantly piercing through the opponent's body. After the explosion, blood blossomed.

In an instant, three Sky-Soaring Realm warriors were killed.

Points +1
Points +1
Points +1
Lin Qi shook his head inwardly; these Sky-Soaring Realm warriors were too weak.

Some of them are even newly developed.

Their combat power is only at the 1-star level; they'd be cannon fodder in any competition.

"Hey~"

In the next instant, he disappeared from his spot and rushed towards the nearest Sky-Soaring Realm warrior.

The opponent was a short, stocky martial artist who was only 1.6 meters tall. He was a mentalist who controlled 30 silver flying swords.

Upon seeing Lin Qi rushing towards him like lightning, he immediately controlled his flying sword, condensing it into a silver swordfish stab.

"Die!"

Seeing this, Lin Qi said disdainfully:
"too weak!"

"Oh!"

He thrust out his spear in an instant, and golden threads shot out straight, shattering all the flying swords.

A golden streak of light pierced through the opponent's chest, killing another player.

Points +2
In that instant, two figures rushed out from both sides of the street without any warning.

Two layers of patterns appeared on their bodies, indicating that they were geniuses who had awakened two abilities.

A man and a woman, who look quite alike, are a pair of genius siblings; one wields a knife, and the other dances with a sword.

The forces of water and fire pierced in from both sides.

A sudden, swift, and precise attack!

"Buzz!"

The brother and sister had a look of joy in their eyes. They made a risky decision: to ambush Lin Qi, a galaxy-level genius.

If successful, it will be a tremendous achievement.

And clearly, they seemed to have succeeded; the other side hadn't reacted in time.

Their eyes widened, as if they could already see the blade piercing their hearts.

"Buzz!"

In the next instant, a spherical golden shield instantly materialized.

The swords and blades struck the protective shield and were instantly blocked.

"Clang!"

The moment they collided, they both felt a powerful force impacting their bodies.

It was as if he had crashed into a giant mountain, and his body was uncontrollably blasted away.

"Oh!"

Like kites with broken strings, the two were simultaneously blasted into the building from both sides. The building collapsed with a crash, shattering into pieces, with walls and pillars breaking and kicking up clouds of dust.

"咻咻~"

"Puff~"

Lin Qi condensed golden spear energy and shot it out, accurately piercing through the bodies of the two men and easily killing them.

The two siblings are quite strong, but their strength is only equivalent to that of a 3-star fighter.

Points +5
Points +4
Lin Qi shook his head and instantly disappeared from the spot, continuing to kill other Sky-Soaring Realm warriors.

……

"Damn it!"

"How did the Gun Demon Lynch end up here?"

"This is a top genius ranked 50th on the Blazing Sun Ranking, a top expert in any star system."

"It's over!"

“We’re doomed. I’m ranked 15th on the Blazing Sun Ranking. How could I possibly be a match for Lin Qi?”

Many Sky-Soaring Realm martial artists recognized Lin Qi.

They were also students of the Lieyang Academy, and once they recognized each other, they knew they were doomed.

"Lin Qi, I finally managed to participate in the Deep Space Genius Competition. Spare my life, and I will repay you handsomely."

A man clad in blood-red armor begged for mercy.

But what awaited him was the tip of a spear that gleamed with golden light.

"Pfft~"

The spear tip pierced his heart, and yet another opponent vanished.

Points +15
Lin Qi nodded after seeing this. These were quite a few points; no wonder he was reluctant to give them up.

Then he charged at his other opponents.

The speed of the Sky Soaring Realm is not slow, and catching up with someone is not easy.

five hours later

"Pfft~"

Just as Lin Qi killed a player, a dangerous gust of wind suddenly blew across his face.

He narrowed his eyes, sensing an even stronger spiritual force within his already powerful spiritual energy.

On the street several hundred meters away, a man wearing cyan armor and with a single black horn on his head slowly walked out, surrounded by circular blades.
