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

Chapter 675 Stepping Stone! (Seeking monthly votes)

The announcement was made loudly by the host, Sang Qing.

Tens of millions of spectators from the Lieyang Civilization in the stands erupted in unison, their shouts as powerful as a storm.

"Yaofeng!!"

"You're the one who should get a bye after taking down that lucky guy Lynch!"

"Destroy him!"

"..."

……

Player Space
Lin Qi calmly stood up from the smart chair he was sitting in.

"It's my turn!"

"I bet a lot of viewers want to see me lose this match!"

After he finished speaking, he was enveloped by a blue beam of light and teleported to the Ten Directions Blood Arena.

Meanwhile, in the contestant seats of the Lieyang Galaxy.

A burly man in black slowly stood up, grinning as he said:

"Looks like I'm lucky, I actually got matched with Lin Qi."

"As long as I defeat him, I will definitely have a place in the top 10."

Other contestants in the seats near him offered their congratulations:

Congratulations, Yaofeng!

"You have the chance to defeat Lynch!"

We're waiting for your good news!

Yao Feng clenched his fist, revealing a confident smile, before being enveloped by a blue beam of light and teleported onto the arena.

……

Meanwhile, across the entire Lieyang Starfield, by the time the 9th round had begun, the number of ordinary people watching the live stream had exceeded one trillion.

The vast majority of people were frantically spamming Yaofeng's name in the live chat.

"Yaofeng, the third-ranked genius of our Blazing Sun Civilization!"

"In our galaxy, he is a genius who has defeated countless experts and is frequently featured in the news."

"Linqi is just a small civilization; they've never even heard of any Blue Star civilization."

"Yaofeng will surely win this battle!"

Faced with endless barrage comments, the comments posted by the Earthlings were also drowned out.

……

On the vast Ten Directions Blood Arena

"Boohoo!!"

Two figures appeared out of thin air. Lin Qi had chosen his combat equipment and was wearing black and gold armor with gold patterns inlaid on it, exuding a sharp aura.

Looking at Yaofeng across the street.

This was his first time facing a genius from Lieyang Star. According to Dean Yaochen's information, Yaofeng ranked 3rd on Lieyang Star and possessed formidable strength.

Lieyang Star is the overlord of the Lieyang Starfield, and the top three geniuses are all capable of competing for the top 10.

His strength is far beyond what Edith can match.

Actually, he didn't want to have a bye, because he missed a chance to hone his martial arts skills.

Yao Feng was a burly man, over three meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body. He wore black and red armor, had rugged features, and broad shoulders.

It has hands the size of a millstone, and a large mouth with sharp teeth visible when it grins.

His weapon was a dark red long staff, inlaid with earth-red patterns.

An overbearing aura emanated from him, and a sense of oppression enveloped every corner.

Lin Qi was more than a meter shorter than him, like a little dwarf.

Yao Feng looked at Lin Qi and smiled, saying:

"Lynch of the Triangulum Galaxy, the lucky boy."

"You shouldn't have been left out!"

"This spot belongs to our Lieyang Star!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi immediately laughed and said, "Really?"

Are you questioning the capabilities of intelligent systems?

"According to you, Yaoyu shouldn't have missed a bye!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Feng was instantly enraged and hissed, "Shut up!"

"You are not qualified to comment on Yaoyu's name."

"I will defeat you in the shortest amount of time!"

Lin Qi scoffed, "I don't believe it!"

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

[The 1th match has officially begun!]

……

Just as the two were talking, the intelligent voice system announced something.

Yao Feng's eyes lit up instantly, and a fiery red light appeared.

Three layers of patterns appeared on the body's surface: one layer of earthy yellow and two layers of red.

One earth-attribute ability and two fire-attribute abilities.

He awakened two different types of abilities.

A scorching and heavy aura emanated from him, like magma after a volcanic eruption, hot yet calm.

At the same time, the intense heat in the air amplified his body, causing the air temperature to rise continuously.

Yao Feng grinned excitedly, strode forward, and roared with his mouth wide open:

"Come die!"

His three-meter-tall body suddenly sprinted forward, like a lion galloping across the grassland.

Dark red energy surged up the long staff, as red as blood.

"Chi~"

The heavy staff suddenly exploded with a deafening roar as it tore through the air, and the powerful energy surging from Yao Feng's three-meter-tall body was like magma.

He brandished his dark red staff, unleashing a wave of scorching heat as he pressed down on Lin Qi.

At the same time, a blazing dark red domain emanated from his center, and the power of the law of fire caused the temperature to rise sharply.

Lynch felt a deadly pressure, something Edith had never experienced before.

Such an opponent should not be underestimated.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, a powerful aura emanated from him.

The dazzling golden light made him burst forth like a golden lightning bolt, and a continuous stream of power surged from his body.

The golden law of the air descended, empowering him, and he released his domain to fight against Yaofeng.

His blood and qi surged, and his veins bulged all over his body as he faced the dark red staff that was about to strike him down.

Lin Qi swung his spear like a tiger, thrusting it upwards. With the blessing of the Law of Metal, the spear vibrated at a high frequency.

"Oh!"

The moment the golden light from the spear tip collided with the shadow of the staff, sparks flew like fireflies, and the alloy ground was scorched black by the splashed energy.

At the same time, there are also cutting marks left by the sharp edges.

At the moment of impact, the terrifying force compressed and unleashed an energy storm.

"Your strength is nothing more than this!"

Yao Feng's sinister laugh made the air vibrate, and Lin Qi frowned.

I felt a terrifying force emanating from the gun, like a supervolcano crashing down from the sky.

Intense yet heavy, a double pain.

"What a powerful force!"

Lin Qi had to admit that Yao Feng truly lived up to his reputation as the third-ranked genius of Lieyang Mountain; his strength was indeed terrifying.

The staff technique was heavy and had a fiery explosive quality, making his arm feel a burning sensation.

"Come again!"

Yao Feng roared, and crimson patterns burst forth from the dark red flames. The laws of fire merged with his inner energy, surging out like magma.

The long staffs carried lava, one after another, each strike carrying a heavy and explosive force.

“Ding ding!!”

Lin Qi's eyes shone with golden light, and his entire body unleashed its sharpness. His inner energy enveloped the spear like liquid metal, and the sharpness in the air continuously cut through the scorching magma.

The Golden Edge Five Forms were released from Lin Qi's hands, clashing head-on with Yao Feng in a pure clash of force.

“Bang bang!!”

A head-on clash between the laws of metal and fire.

The entire area was enveloped in heat waves and sharp edges, with energy storms covering every corner.

The alloy ground was charred black, and covered with countless weapon scratches.

……

In the high-level virtual world, in the viewing area of ​​Lieyang Star.

A high-ranking official, exuding a powerful aura, couldn't help but speak up:

"Yaofeng is quite strong and is an outstanding descendant. He has awakened both fire and earth abilities."

"He also comprehended the laws of fire, combining the burning of fire with the weight of earth, and with exquisite staff techniques, they complemented each other perfectly."

"Yaofeng's strength is extremely outstanding, even among previous years."

"If it weren't for Yao Yu and Yao Xi, he wouldn't have ranked third."

"If he can comprehend the Law of Earth and combine the two laws to unleash his spear techniques, his combat power will increase significantly!"

A languid female voice also rang out:

"Lin Qi from the Triangulum Galaxy is also quite strong, able to withstand Yao Feng's attacks head-on."

"He must have some skills to be selected by the system to get a bye."

"Unfortunately, he encountered Yao Feng. His application of the laws is not strong enough, so it will be very difficult for him to defeat Yao Feng!"

"Yaochen, Lin Qi is a student of your Lieyang Academy. What do you want to say?"

When the female voice mentioned Yao Chen, everyone looked at Yao Chen, who was sitting in the corner.

Being watched, Yao Chen calmly said:

"Both of them are quite strong!"

"Yaofeng currently has the upper hand, but Lin Qi is not weak either. We'll find out who wins by watching the game."

Someone joked, "So Yaochen, you have high hopes for Lin Qi!"

"If Lynch gets eliminated, you'll be in an awkward situation."

The other senior executives burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Yao Chen didn't care at all. There was something he didn't say: in his opinion, Yao Feng couldn't beat Lin Qi.

……

In the player space, top-level players are also watching this match.

"Yaofeng has gained the upper hand!"

"In the previous battles, his fierce and explosive staff techniques completely crushed his opponents under pressure, and no one was able to turn the tide." "Now, Yao Feng seems unstoppable!"

"Lin Qi is completely suppressed!"

"His control over the power of laws is still not strong enough!"

Top experts such as Yao Yu, Yu Miaozhen, and Samuel all expressed their opinions.

On the contestant's seat in the Triangulum Galaxy.

Jiang Tao became nervous and said:

"Qi-ge, you have to win!"

Sun Sheng grinned and said, "Yao Feng is indeed powerful. He's better than me at using the same staff technique!"

"I don't know what Lin Qi is doing. Judging from his style, he should be crushing everything in his path."

"I don't believe it. With his talent, even though they are both at the peak of the Sky Realm, he can't compare to Yao Feng."

Li Tianxing also spoke up, saying, "Lin Qi might have other ideas!"

"After all, he has only been comprehending the laws for a short time, and his application of them is still relatively unfamiliar!"

Jiang Miaoyin suddenly spoke up: "Brother Lin Qi isn't practicing his laws, is he?"

Jiang Tao nodded: "That's very much like Brother Qi's style!"

"His goal is to reach the top 10. Even if he gets through the 9th game, there's still the 10th game. He should be preparing for the final game!"

Everyone nodded; they had great confidence in Lin Qi.

“Look, the situation is about to change,” the God of War said.

When everyone looked back at the arena, they realized that the situation of the battle was beginning to change.

……

On the battlefield of ten bloody arenas.

“Bang bang!!”

"Too weak, too weak!"

Yao Feng's three-meter-tall, imposing body radiated an increasingly intense aura.

He was completely fired up, immersed in the sadistic battle.

His blood surged, and his power surged continuously, making his staff techniques increasingly powerful.

The shadows of the staff blurred, and the heat waves from the air distorted space, while the laws of fire were constantly manipulated in the staff techniques.

"bang bang"

Lin Qi, on the other hand, remained calm. Facing the attack, he still swung his spear, the force field as heavy as ever.

Although he was being beaten and forced to retreat.

He can withstand any attack.

At the same time, his eyes shone with golden light, and golden secret patterns appeared in his pupils.

In his view, Yao Feng's attack trajectories were all different, and the laws of fire were being used flexibly.

Confronting someone head-on is a completely different experience from just watching.

At the same time, a multitude of insights surfaced in his mind, and golden threads emerged in the air, constantly combining and swirling around his body.

The Law of Metal constantly changes with the trajectory of the spear tip.

"I see!"

Lin Qi was overjoyed; his battle with Yao Feng had elevated his mastery of the power of laws to a new level.

"Die to me!"

Suddenly, Yao Feng shouted, and the molten lava energy on his dark red staff surged dramatically. He raised the staff high with both hands, as if magma were pouring out from the sky.

A burst of intense power was unleashed!
Upon seeing this, Lin Qi suddenly swung his spear, erecting a golden protective shield.

Killer move—Iron Prison!
The newly grasped method of mobilization is used to surround the protective shield.

"Break it for me!"

Yao Feng's face turned ferocious, and he slammed down his long staff as if he wanted to destroy the world, colliding with the protective barrier.

"Bang!!!"

A deafening roar echoed across the arena, and the immense force caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the alloy floor beneath Lin Qi's feet.

The surrounding ground was covered with weapon marks and charred black from high temperatures.

From the audience's perspective, the golden sphere is subjected to the violent impact of scorching magma.

The golden shield shattered like broken glass.

"Oh!"

However, at the moment of shattering, a terrifying shockwave was generated, and a dazzling golden light enveloped the arena.

Yao Feng continued to swing his spear, his mind locked onto Lin Qi within it.

At the same time, a golden light burst forth from beneath him, like lightning in the night sky, arriving in an instant.

He sensed a strong sense of danger, and his body veered off course.

"Pfft~"

Killer move—Instant Shadow Thousand Lights!
A golden light pierced through his shoulder, and a sharp pain surged through his heart.

Lin Qi was shocked; his killing move had actually been dodged.

However, even if you manage to escape it, it won't change the final outcome.

With a flick of his wrist, all the cells in his body were mobilized, the Law of Metal merged into his body, and his cells boiled.

The body rotates at high speed as the gun spirals outwards!
"not good!"

Yao Feng's eyes widened as he thrust out the round tip of his dark red staff!

"clang!"

At the moment of impact, the tip of the stick was pierced by the spear, and a crack appeared on the smooth stick before it shattered with a crash.

The stick shattered, but Lynch's spear tip spiraled through, deviating from its trajectory, and continued to thrust out!

In Yao Feng's wide-eyed gaze, it pierced through his neck.

A large, gaping hole appeared in Yao Feng's neck, blood splattering everywhere, and his life force was rapidly fading away.

The Law of Metal was cutting into Yao Feng's internal organs, completely destroying his life force.

"It's over!"

Lin Qi said calmly.

Yao Feng could only stare wide-eyed at Lin Qi before finally vanishing into nothingness.

[Match 1: Lynch (Triangulum Galaxy) wins!]

"it's over!"

"Dear viewers, congratulations to Lin Qi! After a fierce battle, he successfully defeated Yao Feng under pressure, advancing to the 10th round and securing a spot in the top 20!"

"Clap!!"

"Lin Qi!!"

Following the announcement by the host, Sang Qing, a round of applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

They were all viewers from the Blue Star Civilization and the Flowing Blade Civilization.

All of Liuren Civilization's players have now been eliminated, leaving them only able to support Blue Star.

"Awesome!"

Dean Liu pumped his fist excitedly, becoming even more thrilled when he saw the gazes of other civilizations.

"Yao Feng actually lost. What happened in the last round? How did Lin Qi manage to kill Yao Feng in two consecutive moves?"

"As expected of the genius recognized by the system as having received a bye, his strength is indeed extraordinary."

"No ordinary genius can stop him anymore."

"..."

……

In the high-ranking seats, the leaders of Lieyang Star all expressed their surprise:
"That's really strange, Lynch actually won!"

"It seems that the final counterattack, the three moves were used in a smooth and seamless manner, with each move perfectly timed and the killing move extremely powerful."

"This is his true strength!"

"It's not unfair that Yao Feng lost to him; he's still far from being good enough!"

"It's no surprise that Lin Qi got a bye; his strength has been underestimated!"

Listening to the discussions among the other high-ranking officials, Yao Chen smiled. Lin Qi had finally risen to prominence.

He has now demonstrated top-tier combat capabilities.

It makes people look forward to his future battles.

……

Player Space
The burly Yao Feng was teleported back to the smart chair.

His body was hunched over, as if he had lost three meters.

"How could I lose?"

Whether in Lieyang Mountain or in the cosmic arena, he won more than he lost, and he hardly ever lost a few matches.

But just now, he actually lost to someone from a less civilized society.

There was a feeling of pent-up frustration in my chest, which I couldn't release.

The other geniuses on Lieyang Star were also discussing the matter extensively.

"It seems Yao Feng's luck wasn't so good; he actually lost!"

"It wasn't carelessness, it's that we really couldn't beat them!"

"What a pity, only Yaoyu and Yaoxi are left!"

And the strongest genius, Yao Yu, also spoke up:

"Yao Feng is no match for Lin Qi. If they were to fight again, the result would probably be the same. Don't underestimate him!"

The others nodded in agreement; this genius from a small civilization was indeed extraordinary.

He proved his strength in a battle, but the price was that Yaofeng became his stepping stone.

Meanwhile, heated discussions also broke out in other galaxies.

"Lin Qi is quite strong, stronger than Yao Feng!"

"But that's all for now. If he gets matched with me next round, it'll be time for him to be eliminated!"

However, there are still top geniuses from top forces who believe they can defeat Lin Qi.

After all, no matter how strong Yao Feng is, he is only the third-ranked genius on Lieyang Star, and not the strongest.

……

Among the Triads, Moron, with his black horns and imposing physique, fell silent as he watched Lynch's victory.

Beside him, Lorraine sighed:

"Moron, it seems that Lynch's strength has surpassed ours."

"Your Yaofeng who defeated you has been defeated by Lin Qi!"

Moron was speechless and had to admit:
"I really underestimated Lynch!"

"His strength is indeed formidable!"

Feng Hao, who had golden horns on his head, frowned and said, "If it were me, it would be very difficult to defeat Lin Qi."

"He is an even greater genius than Russell."
