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

Chapter 668 The Second Cultivation Goal! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Valentina was incredulous; she was a psychic.

His spiritual power had long since broken through to the second realm of the universe, and he had condensed a soul core.

Once the illusion is cast, ordinary Sky-Soaring Realm cultivators will unknowingly fall into the illusion simply by using their perception abilities.

Then you will die in the illusion!

This is a murderous illusion!

Even for a martial artist at the peak of the Sky-Soaring Realm, the same applies; being caught in an illusion for just a few seconds is enough for her to end the battle.

So fast?
How did Lynch do it?
She then realized that she had to kill Lin Qi now, or she would be the one to die.

Thinking of this, her expression turned solemn, and blue lines appeared on her skin. She quickly mobilized her wind energy, which transformed into a flying sword that pierced through the air and shot out.

"boom!!!"

In an instant, layers of golden energy condensed into a fortress-like protective shield, emerging from Lin Qi's body.

Valentina's thrusting sword easily tore through the air, but was blocked by the protective shield.

A domineering aura emanated from Lynch as he looked at Valentina and announced, "It's over!"

"burst!"

"Oh!"

The dazzling golden shield exploded instantly, like a volcanic eruption, sending terrifying, sharp shockwaves sweeping outwards.

Valentina was a mentalist, but her physical abilities were far inferior. The shockwave hit her so hard that she couldn't react in time.

His body was blasted away like a kite with a broken string!

"not good!"

Her eyes widened, and she knew in her heart that she had met a master this time!
Lynch unleashed his power, locked onto Valentina with his mental perception, and fused his body with the spear, shooting off from the spot.

The spear tip pierced the air, golden light shot through the sky, the air was torn apart, and gusts of wind were stirred up!

Killer move—Instant Shadow Thousand Lights!
At the same time, in an instant, Valentina was pierced through the chest by the sharp golden spear tip.

"Pfft~"

A straight beam of golden light appeared in everyone's sight, and Valentina, clad in purple armor, vanished into nothingness in mid-air.

[Game 11 Ends: Lynch (Triangulum Galaxy) Wins!]

……

The intelligent voice system has also begun to announce its final results.

"Let's congratulate Lin Qi from the Blue Star Civilization on the 11th match!"

"He successfully defeated Valentina and advanced to the third round of the Ten Directions Blood Arena!"

The host, Sang Qing, dressed in a tight-fitting uniform, announced loudly!

The audience erupted in cheers.

"I didn't expect that Princess Valentina would be killed so quickly!"

"She was ranked 5th in the Thai Star Tower, but she was eliminated when it came to the top 2500 out of 5000."

"She used to be incredibly powerful; her illusion techniques were unmatched!"

"As a result, he encountered Lin Qi, whose illusion was quickly broken, and he was easily killed by him."

“Once the illusion fails, Valentina will surely die in close combat.”

"So this proves that Lynch from the Blue Star civilization is indeed powerful!"

……

In the contestant space, on the contestant plaza of the Titan Galaxy?
Phantom Princess Valentina was teleported back, her face flushed.

Her expression was one of anger and resentment; she had actually been eliminated?

“I am the fifth-ranked genius in the Titan Force. Lin Qi from the Blue Star Civilization actually broke free in less than two seconds.”

"I'm going to be one of the top 100!"

"How did he do it?"

"Could it be that they have a very strong spirit and will?"

Whether or not one can break the illusion depends on the strength of their mental fortitude and willpower.

The stronger one's mental strength, the stronger one's ability to resist.

The same applies to willpower, but without mental strength, willpower alone also requires time to break free.

Only when both are strong will it work.

The others looked at each other in disbelief; Valentina had actually lost.

Who would believe that?
"Lin Qi from the Blue Star civilization is indeed quite capable; we can no longer underestimate him."

"Besides the more than one hundred geniuses who have mastered sixth-tier skills, Lin Qi is probably the most outstanding expert among them."

One of the geniuses spoke up, affirming Lin Qi's strength, and the others nodded silently in agreement.

Hobbs, standing some distance away, also smiled.

He knew Lynch would win.

……

On the contestant plaza of the Thunder Radiance Galaxy
"Lin Qi's strength is indeed formidable; even Valentina from the Titan Galaxy lost to him."

"Reynolds, you didn't lose unjustly!"

The tall Reynolds looked at Lynch on the screen and for some reason felt relaxed.

Even Valentina lost, so there's nothing shameful about him losing to Lynch.

……

Lynch was also teleported back to the Triangular Galaxy.

"Brother Qi, congratulations on advancing!"

Jiang Tao was the first to offer his congratulations.

Lin Qi said, "Valentina's illusion magic is indeed extraordinary. I was instantly affected even without looking into her eyes. It's simply impossible to defend against."

"When faced with such an opponent, one can only make one's mental strength even stronger!"

The others nodded; they could sense Valentina's terror just from the description.

"By the way, Brother Qi, in the past few days, another year has passed, and the rewards for the Lieyang Academy need to be settled."

"Never forget!"

Jiang Tao suddenly spoke up to remind him, and Lin Qi nodded, as he hadn't forgotten that.

After all, the Blazing Sun Academy also offers rewards.

"Jiang Tao, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten!"

"We should take the opportunity to challenge Lieyang Mountain again in the second round. A year has passed, and our strength has greatly improved!"

"His ranking on the Blazing Sun Ranking will likely see a significant improvement."

Everyone smiled.

……

In the spacious martial arts room of Residence No. 5, Lin Qi, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were deep and his whole being was full of energy.

After the virtual bracelet was turned off, a strong sense of mental awareness was released from him.

The key is to detect the components in the air, including not only energy sources but also many tiny particles.

Behind the air particles lie ten fundamental laws of the world.

He seemed to be able to sense that all things in nature were composed of the power of ten laws.

In particular, he possesses the Golden Body, which allows him to sense the source energy in the air, as well as the metal law that is compatible with him.

"Buzz!"

Golden light emanated from his body, and the Golden Emperor's Qi flowed like liquid metal.

Meanwhile, as the metal elemental power is mobilized, the laws of the world are also changing.

Although it's like being nearsighted, the perception is rather blurry.

However, it feels much clearer now than before the breakthrough.

"Sure enough, as my cultivation level increases, I can see things that I couldn't see before."

"I can now sense the power of the laws, which can better help me comprehend the Law of Metal."

Lin Qi nodded secretly. Of his three major cultivation goals, he had already achieved the breakthrough of his spiritual power to the second level of the universe and the condensation of his soul core.

My next training goal is to break through to the sixth level in martial arts skills.

In just over two years, he has mastered all 555 gun techniques and turned them all into his own accumulated knowledge.

Now, we're just a window of paper away from the sixth-tier skill; it's as easy as prying it open.

But they were just one step away from breaking through the barrier.

"drop!"

"Master, you have received a payment notification."

Just as Lin Qi was pondering, Xiao Chan, dressed in blue, projected herself and offered a reminder.

And a screen was projected.

Lin Qi looked and saw that the reward for the second round, 500 million Deep Space Coins, had been credited to his account.

Two rounds have already been played in the Ten Directions Blood Arena, and he has earned a total of 1000 million Deep Space Coins.

I now have 1500 million yuan in cash.

Lynch opened the War House again and began shopping.

“I need to spend this 1500 million immediately.”

"Next, there's the settlement from the Blazing Sun Academy, and the rewards from the Ten Directions Blood Arena."

"Purchasing all the resources, the energy crystals needed for the 9th source vein will absolutely exceed my expectations."

"We haven't seen anyone materialize yet!"

Lin Qi placed an order for energy crystals while also making calculations.

He had already considered that the ninth source vein could most likely only be formed by people with special physiques.

Because the God of War, Feng Hao, Wan Haihui, Yu Huashan, and Lei Zetian have not been seen yet.

He felt that they had only condensed 8 source veins, and their powerful combat strength was due to their comprehension of the power of laws.

So he's prepared to spend tens of millions of Deep Space Coins.

"The mental strength manual isn't urgent for now; we can buy the new gun technique manual together when the time comes."

"Using 'Divine Thought Thousand Threads' in conjunction with Soul Essence can still enhance mental strength."

Lin Qi quickly made a decision and purchased 12 source energy crystals and 6 bottles of 60% pure soul marrow.

After the purchase, all 1500 million Deep Space Coins were spent.

Lin Qi nodded secretly. In the past few days, his goal was to master sixth-tier skills and comprehend the laws.

……

Four days later, at Lieyang Taoist Academy.

At the foot of Mount Lieyang, it was once again the annual Lieyang Ranking settlement day for the students of the Sky Soaring Realm.

It was bustling with activity at the moment, though much quieter than before.

"It's reward settlement day again."

"Unfortunately, it clashed with the Deep Space Genius Tournament. Many geniuses are preparing for the Ten Directions Blood Arena."

"However, our Lieyang Academy is indeed impressive. Out of the top 10000 spots, we have a total of 125 people who are second only to Lieyang Star."

"Other forces are simply no match for us."

“We also have several top-tier geniuses, in particular.”

"Oh, right, there are also geniuses from the Blue Star civilization. They are indeed amazing, with a total of 9 people making it into the 10000 list."

"A year has passed, and their strength will have increased dramatically again."

"The people of the Blue Star civilization have arrived!"

Everyone looked at the several figures, all of whom exuded a powerful aura.

Leading the way were Lin Qi, Jiang Tao, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, and Jiang Miaoyin.

"Let's go!" Lin Qi said, taking the lead into Lieyang Mountain.

Only the five of them came this time. In the past year, the others haven't changed much in strength.
Only the five of them have gathered more source veins, greatly increasing their combat power and allowing them to improve their ranking on the Blazing Sun Ranking.

……

Fourth Pass of Lieyang Mountain
On the towering mountain, a thousand-meter-long, dark red insect nest radiates intense heat, its surface riddled with countless pits.

"Boooooooh!!"

Thousands of figures flew out of the insect hive, and four types of insect warriors—mantises, rhinoceros beetles, beetles, and fire ants—rushed towards one person like a black cloud.

"Puff puff~"

Faced with the siege of the Zerg warriors, Lin Qi simply waved his spear, and hundreds of golden spear beams condensed around him, instantly shooting out.

The Zerg warrior who was hit was instantly pierced through.

He himself thrust out a large spear, with strands of golden silk threads enveloping the surrounding area.

Countless golden rays sliced ​​outwards; this was the power of the Golden Domain.

An hour later, all the Zerg warriors were killed.

[Congratulations, Lin Qi, warrior from the Blue Star civilization, on successfully passing the fourth level of Lieyang Mountain! Time: 1 hour and 12 minutes!]

Congratulations on rising from 32nd to 20th on the Sunrise Ranking!

[Should I proceed to the fifth level of Lieyang Mountain?]

　I apologize to all my readers. I had to go for physical therapy again today, so I wrote 2,000 fewer words. I will resume 10,000-word updates tomorrow!
