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

Chapter 654 Accumulation Before the Breakthrough! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The competition continued, and all the contestants, as well as many spectators, could see it coming.

It's called random matching, but it actually pits top-ranked geniuses against bottom-ranked geniuses.

As a result, in the first five matches, the stronger players easily defeated their opponents and won.

Lin Qi also witnessed the strength of Lorraine and Moron, the two top three geniuses of the Triangle Clan.

They are equally powerful, both being geniuses who have condensed eight source veins and stand at the peak of the Sky Soaring Realm.

None of them are things he can handle at the moment.

With the first five games ending quickly, the sixth game has finally arrived.

The host, Lian, announced loudly:
"Next, please welcome our two contestants from the first round. They are Lin Qi, who comes from the Blue Star Civilization and is known as the Gun Demon."

"In the first round of elimination matches, he defeated countless strong opponents and became the number one on Planet 06!"

"They ultimately finished 15th in the standings."

"And his opponent, Craig, comes from the Iron Star civilization and has the ability to kill..."

As the host, Lian, introduced the scene, Lin Qi stood up and vanished as a blue pillar of light.

Within half a minute in the unknown space, after selecting his combat equipment, he was teleported to the sky above a planet.

"Hoohoo!!"

The ground was a desolate wasteland, the air filled with the heavy smell of earth, and a gentle breeze caressed my face.

A kilometer away, opposite Lynch, his opponent Craig also appeared out of nowhere.

He had a tall and strong physique, silver skin that shone with a metallic sheen, like a human forged from steel.

Clad in black armor and wielding a large spear, he exuded a tough and menacing aura!

Craig's expression turned grave: "Lynch, the gun-wielding demon of the Blue Star civilization."

As the second-ranked civilization in the Triangulum Galaxy, the appearance of the Blue Star civilization made them feel threatened.

He was also very curious about this civilization.

The opponent is ranked 15th, and I am ranked 115th.

The middle corner was 100 places behind, a huge gap; his chances of winning were only 1%.
But he still didn't want to give up.

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

[The sixth match has officially begun!]

With the announcement of intelligent voice technology, this battle has officially begun.

"boom!"

Craig's body emitted a golden light, a sharp power, and two layers of golden patterns appeared, wandering on the surface of his skin.

The next instant, he charged out wielding a giant silver battle sword.

A domineering golden blade aura slashed out, but Lin Qi did not move from his spot, his legs rooted to the ground like an old tree.

Faced with Craig's attack, he chose to defend rather than defeat him in the shortest amount of time.

“Ding ding!!”

In the blink of an eye, the two clashed.

Craig's attacks are domineering; his swordsmanship is like a raging giant hammer, each strike a heavy blow.

The way it exerts its force is also exceptionally domineering, with its powerful energy condensed, like a hundred-ton king charging headlong into the ground.

Lin Qi brandished his black and gold spear, his inner energy flowing around him like water, creating a defensive circle.

He activated his Golden Eyes, and from his perspective, he had countless ways to instantly kill Craig in the face of his attacks.

But he didn't do that.

His marksmanship has reached 99% of the fifth rank, the limit of the fifth rank marksmanship.

To break through, one must comprehend the laws.

He awakened the power of metal, which made him even more compatible with the laws of metal.

There is a greater probability that the laws will be discovered in the future.

There are several ways to comprehend the Law of Metal.

The "World-Destroying Spear Manual" records a method for comprehending the Law of Metal, besides practicing spear techniques.

There's also the process of watching other martial artists unleash their metal-attribute techniques.

Observe how the opponent exerts force, their fighting style, and how their energy is channeled to enhance your own abilities.

Until enough is accumulated, a breakthrough can be achieved in one fell swoop.

The War God was like that; his opponent had been stuck at 99% of the fifth rank for over a decade before finally breaking through.

Because of insufficient accumulation, once he entered the Lieyang Dao Academy, his horizons broadened, and he quickly grasped the essence.

With a surge of power from his sword and the circulation of internal energy, everything about Craig's swordsmanship was revealed to Lynch.

“Ding ding!!”

Craig looked serious and puzzled. Why was Lynch only defending and not attacking?
Given the opponent's strength, if they attack with all their might, I wouldn't be able to withstand it at all.

In the contestant's space.

The group of people were also puzzled. Jiang Tao frowned and asked, "What is Brother Qi doing?"

"With his strength, he could kill Craig in one move."

The black-robed war god nearby slowly spoke:

"Lin Qi is honing his marksmanship!"

"Lin Qi's comprehension is even stronger than his talent for cultivation!"

"His marksmanship has reached the fifth level of perfection, ranking him among the top ten of the 128 geniuses present."

"He's already preparing for the sixth-tier spear technique!"

Jiang Tao's eyes widened. "So fast?"

"I've also broken through to the Sky Soaring Realm, but I feel like I still have a long way to go before reaching the fifth-order perfection."

Sun Sheng was also surprised and said, "Lin Qi is making such a fast pace?"

"I feel like I need another year to prepare for breaking through to the sixth rank, but he's already started preparing?"

The people on Blue Star only felt the pressure.

The geniuses of the Triangle Clan also heard the discussions among the people of Blue Star.

Lorraine scoffed:
"Only small civilizations need this clumsy method to improve their accumulation; our Triangular Civilization has a better way."

"The comprehension of laws can be accumulated by studying numerous secret manuals and observing demonstrations of the power of laws by powerful individuals..."

Upon hearing this, the other members of the Triangle Tribe all revealed smug smiles.

……

The battle has been going on for 10 minutes on the wasteland arena.

Craig wielded his sword, unleashing his full swordsmanship skills, employing a variety of techniques.

He still couldn't break through Lin Qi's defenses, which made him feel desperate; the gap between them was too big.

"The observation is almost complete."

Lin Qi, feeling he had gained something, decided to end the fight. "Swoosh!"

The marksmanship began to change, dazzling golden light burst forth, golden threads appeared, and the air was instantly torn apart.

"Pfft~"

Before Craig could react to the danger, a golden thread pierced his neck, causing him to vanish into nothingness.

[Match 6: Lynch (Blue Star Civilization) wins!]

……

In the contestant's space,
Craig was teleported back, his expression grave.

Recalling the battle, he sighed inwardly.

The gap is too big; he is also a galaxy-level genius.

But after the entire battle, all that remained was a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Lynch from this Blue Star civilization is very strong, Craig, you don't need to be too discouraged."

A deep, resonant voice rang out. He turned to look and saw a man standing beside him, over three meters tall, with a robust build and a cold expression.

The opponent was none other than the number one genius of the Iron Star Civilization, ranked 5th on the leaderboard.

Craig thought to himself that Lynch was nothing compared to Thornton.

……

"Brother Qi, are you really going to break through to the sixth tier of skills?"

After Lin Qi returned, Jiang Tao asked him curiously.

He nodded and said, "We are still in the accumulation stage, and there is still a long way to go before we break through."

Sun Sheng shook his head and said, "You're such a show-off."

"Are the rest of us still far from reaching the sixth rank?"

"The Ice Emperor, the Ganges Venerable, the Overlord and other seniors have not yet broken through."

After chatting with everyone for a while, Lin Qi continued watching the match, constantly using his [Golden Eyes] to observe everyone's fighting style.

Especially the secrets of the metal element, which allow for rapid accumulation of insights.

……

Two days later, all 64 matches were completed.

64 players advanced to the second round.

In the player's space, Lin Qi looked at the brand-new match schedule, which listed 32 matches.

All the contestants who awakened two abilities were eliminated.

Sword Emperor, Mountain and River King, Azure Immortal and other powerful figures were all defeated.

Although they were eliminated, they still received a reward of 80 Deep Space Coins.

He earned 30 more than others.

Among the Blue Star team, only 7 people made it into the top 64, because Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin were also eliminated.

Jiang Miaoyin is the 11th galaxy-level genius on Blue Star, and also the first female galaxy-level genius on Blue Star.

Unfortunately, they awakened too late, at too young an age.

It wasn't until more than two months ago that I narrowly managed to condense the Origin Vein and break through to the Sky Soaring Realm, almost missing the registration deadline.

His strength is not even as good as some peak Sky-Soaring Realm martial artists who have awakened two abilities.

"Buzz!"

"Now, let's continue with the second game!"

"Please welcome our first two contestants. They are Lin Qi from the Blue Star civilization. In the first round, he displayed absolute defense..."

As the host Lian introduced him, Lin Qi slowly stood up and was teleported onto the arena.

This time, the scene has changed to a rugged, hilly environment.

Lin Qi was wearing black and gold armor and stood on a towering, sharp rock.

A figure stood on a human-shaped boulder not far away.

This is a woman with blood-red horns on her head and a stunning figure.

The other party is from the Triangle Tribe.

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

[The first match has officially begun!]

The moment the competition began, Luo Ning brandished his sword and charged towards Lin Qi, enveloped by the flowing water.

……

fifteen minutes later

Lin Qi was teleported back to the player space, along with Luo Ning.

Jiang Tao sighed:
"Brother Qi is still strong. He has almost no weaknesses. Offense, speed, defense... there's nothing he's not good at. He's a true all-rounder!"

“Luoning is a genius of the Triangle Clan, ranked 50th on the points list, yet he couldn’t break through Qi Ge’s defense at all.”

"This is beyond the reach of mere marksmanship; it also requires extremely strong combat awareness and judgment."

"I predict the next game will be the same."

The others nodded in agreement after hearing this.

The others nodded in agreement; in terms of skill level alone, Lin Qi was already among the top ten.

Lin Qi remained calm as he watched the second round of the battle.

The top 64 are all top-level players; even a genius like Feng Hao cannot easily defeat his opponents.

A moment later, Lin Qi also saw Feng Hao's battle, where he demonstrated his marksmanship and telekinetic control.

His marksmanship was extremely exquisite, reaching the fifth level of perfection, but his control over mental power was even more terrifying.

These are all top-tier inheritances, and even within the Myriad Laws Pavilion, their numbers are extremely rare.

It has already been able to gather and enhance the golden cone with both internal energy and mental power.

This made the golden spikes he controlled incredibly fast and lethal.

It contains a rich power of the metal domain, and is even very close to the laws of nature.

When Lin Qi saw it, his eyes lit up. He felt his eyes had been opened and insights came to mind.

While it may not be enough for him to break through, it can deepen his accumulation of knowledge.

Finally, his gaze settled on the God of War, who was also the only one whose martial arts skills had reached the sixth level.

Many viewers believe that the God of War is the strongest in the Triangle Galaxy.

Lin Qi was also completely focused, watching the God of War display his sixth-order swordsmanship, wanting to witness the power of the laws.
