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

Chapter 678 Buying a New Secret Manual! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Clap!!"

"Brother Qi, you're awesome!"

When Lynch was teleported back to the audience, he was greeted with applause from everyone on Earth.

Jiang Tao, in particular, excitedly offered his congratulations.

Jiang Miaoyin, dressed in a white robe, also laughed and said, "Just as we all thought, Brother Lin Qi, you really won!"

Sun Sheng grinned and said, "Lin Qi, you're awesome! You actually wore down Byers to death. I bet he's green with rage right now."

Li Tianxing nodded and said, "Now that you have defeated Byers, you have successfully secured a spot in the top 10."

"This is proof of your strength!"

"From today onwards, your name will be known throughout the entire Blazing Sun Starfield."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi wasn't as excited as one might expect. Instead, he sat down in his smart chair, exhaled a breath of stale air, and said:

"They're all just empty titles; they don't really help improve my strength."

"It might just add to my troubles."

"Defeating Bias this time was far too difficult!"

"This shows that my strength is still not enough, otherwise I wouldn't have had to use such a method to defeat him!"

Everyone secretly sighed, realizing that Lin Qi's state of mind was indeed not something that ordinary people could possess.

They're already this strong, yet they're still not satisfied.

……

"boom!"

Just as everyone was chatting, a starry sky appeared above the arena, and a blue pillar of light descended, condensing into a tall figure. He was none other than Manager Xiyuan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, contestants!"

"I am Xi Yuan!"

"After three years, the second round of the Deep Space Genius Competition has now come to an end!"

"Congratulations to the 10 finalists! They have made it to the end and will receive a reward of 5000 million Deep Space Coins!"

"At the same time, the second round of the Deep Space Genius Competition has ended, and 10000 contestants have advanced!"

"You will have six months, after which you will represent our Sun Star Region and compete in the third round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament with other star regions of our human race."

"This is also the final round, to determine the final 3000 contestants!"

"At that time, more Deep Space Coins, rewards for joining the Supreme Faction, and more await you!"

"We now announce that the second round of the Deep Space Genius Competition has successfully concluded!!"

See you in the third round!

After speaking, Xi Yuan nodded to everyone in the audience, and then vanished into nothingness into the air.

Then, amidst the uproar, the audience members chatted and logged off.

“It’s wonderful!”

"This money was well spent!"

"Next up is the third round of the Deep Space Tournament, which will be held in six months. It's sure to be a spectacular event with geniuses from hundreds of star systems across the entire human race!"

"..."

In the contestant's area, the black-robed war god slowly stood up, looked around at everyone, and said:
"The second round of the Deep Space Genius Competition has now concluded!"

"There are still six months before the start of the third round, and we need to make full use of these six months."

"Strive to make significant progress in strength before the third round of Deep Space Geniuses."

Sun Sheng nodded and said, "That's right, half a year is enough time for me to comprehend the laws."

"With 10000 contestants in each star field, and hundreds of star fields, that's millions of contestants. The top 3000 geniuses will be selected."

"Only by comprehending the power of the laws can one have the chance to become one of the final 3000."

The others nodded. Half a year seemed like a long time, but it wasn't long for those of them who wanted to comprehend the power of the laws.

If you're not careful, half a year will have passed, and if you still haven't made a breakthrough, then it's all over.

So we need to hurry.

"Lin Qi, congratulations on advancing to the top 10!"

Suddenly Lin Qi heard someone calling him, and saw that the Triangle Clan members were also walking over from not far away.

Feng Hao was the first to offer his congratulations.

Lin Qi replied, "Congratulations on successfully advancing to the top 10."

Lorraine laughed and said, "Lin Qi, you're amazing! You even managed to defeat Bias!"

"Entering the supreme power is no longer difficult for you."

"Of course, if you want to make progress, you must learn new secret techniques."

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder."

Lorraine smiled and said, "If you have any difficulties, you can tell us. We will help you if we can."

After a brief chat, the Triangle Clan members logged off.

Then, geniuses from the Iron Star Civilization and the Dark River Civilization also came over.

Enthusiastically build rapport.

After everyone had left, Jiang Tao also sighed:

"Brother Qi, after you entered the top 10, the attitudes of the Triangle Clan, the Iron Star Civilization, and the Dark River Civilization all changed."

"Sure enough, after showing his talent, everyone around him became nice. Lorraine, Moron, and Feng Hao were so arrogant before."

"Everyone's become so enthusiastic now!"

Jiang Miaoyin smiled and said, "Of course, Brother Lin Qi's talent is currently the most outstanding among the geniuses in the Lieyang Star Region. His future achievements will only surpass those of Lorraine and Moron."

The black-robed war god added, "This is normal. It's not just Lynch; our Blue Star civilization will also undergo tremendous changes in the future."

……

Residence No. 5, martial arts room.

Lin Qi opened his eyes and looked at the martial arts room around him, feeling as if he had been transported to another world.

After the final few rounds of the Ten Directions Blood Arena were completed, it felt like a long time had passed.

He looked at the panel.

[You fought a fierce battle against the formidable opponent, Byas. During the intense combat, you gained new insights into the application of the Law of Gold, and your marksmanship improved. Marksmanship +1%]

[Gun Technique: Tier 6 05% → Tier 6 06%]

Seeing that his marksmanship had improved again, Lin Qi was quite satisfied.

He fought Bayes for half an hour, putting himself in danger countless times.

Under the suppression of the Water Law, he suddenly gained new insights into the application of the Metal Law.

"Unfortunately, his movement technique has not improved."

"Do I need to comprehend the Law of Lightning first?"

Lin Qi frowned. His movement technique was of the lightning attribute, so it would indeed be quite difficult for him to comprehend the laws of lightning.

He stood up, deciding to put the issue aside for the time being.

I left the martial arts room and headed towards the living room.

"elder brother!!"

In the living room, Lin Xiao, who was on the sofa, shouted loudly when he saw Lin Qi get down.

"Xiao Qi, congratulations!"

Lin Zhen, Lin Qi's father, immediately stood up, patted Lin Qi's shoulder hard, and burst into laughter.

"Many people online don't think you have a good chance of defeating that Bayes from the Wan Hai Society!"

"We humans on Earth are few in number, and we can't argue with them. It's very frustrating."

"After you won, they all fell silent. It was so satisfying and exhilarating!"

Lin Xiao, the younger brother, also raised his hand and said, "Brother won!"

Lin Qi touched his younger siblings' faces and smiled, "I said I would win, and I definitely will!"

"After making it into the top 10, I've had six months to train and prepare for the third round!"

Lin Zhen, the father, laughed and said, “Call Xiao Tao and Miao Yin over. Let’s have a proper celebration tomorrow!”

Lin Qi glanced at the time; it was already past 11 o'clock.

It's really too late.

After a brief chat, my younger brother and sister went to sleep.

……

The next day, the evening news was broadcast!

"According to the latest news from this station, the warriors of our Blue Star have achieved outstanding results in the second round of the Deep Space Genius Competition, with 9 of them making it into the top 10000!"

"Among them, Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin, two titled martial artists, are..."

"And the Golden Emperor even made it into the top 10, defeating countless powerful civilizations and bringing glory to our Blue Star..."

In the living room of residence number 5, various delicacies were prepared on the dining table.

Lin Qi's family of five, along with Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin, celebrated together.

Jiang Tao watched the news on TV and sighed:
"Brother Qi, you've really made our Blue Star civilization proud this time!"

"I see countless galaxies in the virtual world of the universe discussing our Blue Star civilization!"

"Although we are still very weak, our reputation has already spread throughout the entire Blazing Sun Starfield."

Lin Qi shook his head and said, "They're all just empty titles. My current strength doesn't deserve this reputation."

"I saw the comments online, they're practically praising me to the skies."

"too exaggerated!"

"The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind; it's better for me to keep a low profile."

After saying that, he picked up a slice of cooked meat from the hot pot, put it in his mouth, chewed it once, and then swallowed it.

Feel the spiciness release on your taste buds.

Although he didn't need to eat, he still enjoyed delicious food. Not only him, but many powerful figures in various civilizations did the same, frequently indulging in fine dining.

For example, the Tulan Inspector, in just a few years, tasted almost all the delicacies of every country on Earth.

Jiang Miaoyin took a bite and suddenly said, "We still have six months left, and we plan to cultivate diligently."

"Not only must we condense the 8th Origin Vein, but we must also comprehend the power of the laws!"

Lin Qi put down his chopsticks, took a sip of cola, and agreed:

"Although the time is a bit tight, it shouldn't be a problem for you."

"I believe in your talent!"

Jiang Tao nodded and said, "I also feel there's no problem."

“We have the money to buy source energy crystals, and we also have the blood vine potion given to us by Dean Yaochen.”

"Six months is enough!"

……

Two hours later, Lin Qi returned to his martial arts room.

He sat cross-legged, and now that a night had passed, he had recovered his energy from the battle with Byas.

He took out his phone and projected the screen to check his current net worth.

Account Balance: 4500 million Deep Space Coins

……

Lin Qi looked at his balance and nodded. After two rounds of the second round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament and the Ten Directions Blood Arena, he had received a total of 5500 million Deep Space Coins as a reward.

Of that, he used 1000 million to buy energy crystals, so he only had 4500 million left.

Most of these funds are needed to purchase energy crystals.

Lin Qi began to plan and formulate a training plan for the next six months.

The first thing to do is to buy new cheat codes.

It contains not only manuals for cultivating mental strength, but also manuals for marksmanship and movement techniques.

Both he and Byas have condensed eight source veins, and he is even stronger in terms of physical attributes.

However, his comprehension of the power of laws was inferior to his opponent's, resulting in him being severely suppressed.

Meanwhile, the opponent learned a more powerful secret technique, and their application of the power of laws became more refined, greatly increasing the power of their moves.

He did it because he didn't practice any new secret techniques.

That's why they had to resort to a clumsy method, relying on their superior physique to slowly wear down Byes until he died.

He hasn't done that in a long time.

Facing many opponents, he relied on his strong physique and domineering moves to sweep past them.

Therefore, he needs to become stronger.

Once he has purchased the secret manual, he can now peacefully go into seclusion.

With that in mind, he activated his virtual bracelet and logged directly into the cosmic virtual network.

……

Lieyang Taoist Temple
"The second round of the Deep Space Genius Competition has ended. Our Lieyang Academy has more than 100 people in the list of 10000, which is only slightly worse than Lieyang Star."

"Especially Gun Demon Lynch, he is too strong. He actually made it into the top 10. In the history of our Lieyang Academy, there are very few who have made it into the top 10."

"Most importantly, he still defeated Byers, the strongest genius of the Wan Hai Society."

"I've heard about his exploits. He was a top genius, a future powerhouse at the fifth level of the universe, and he was actually defeated."

"Of course, the most terrifying thing is Lin Qi's speed of progress. In just three years, he has risen all the way up from the Blazing Sun Ranking."

"He entered the top ten, comprehended the power of laws, and defeated Byas!"

“His strength increases dramatically every so often.”

"It's Lynch!"

On the roads of the Blazing Sun Academy, countless students were discussing the second round of the Deep Space Genius Competition, which had just concluded.

The name "Lin Qi" appeared very frequently.

When Lynch appeared, it sparked a frenzy of discussion.

"Lin Qi, congratulations on advancing!"

Lin Qi looked at Frazier in front of him, who was originally ranked first on the Blazing Sun Ranking (Refining Aperture Realm).

The top genius of Lieyang Academy has now successfully advanced and entered the top 20 on the Lieyang Ranking.

"Congratulations!"

Frazier chuckled, "You went to the Myriad Laws Pavilion to buy new secret manuals, didn't you?"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "That's right, I'm still too weak."

Frazier exclaimed, "It's hard to imagine how much your strength will have improved in six months."

……

After saying goodbye to Fred, Lynch went alone to the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Laws, which resembled a seven-colored Rubik's Cube, and stepped inside.

"Whoosh!!"

In the Rubik's Cube Galaxy, Rubik's Cubes of various colors flow like agile fish.

A slender woman in red robes and red horns appeared, smiling slightly:

"Lin Qi from the Blue Star civilization, welcome to the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Laws. I am the administrator and intelligent assistant—Red Robe. How can I help you?"

Lin Qi began to speak:

"My marksmanship has now broken through to the sixth level, and I have comprehended the Law of Metal. Now we need to cultivate a new marksmanship manual."

"The secret manual of spear technique I practice is 'The World-Destroying Spear Manual, Volume 1', from which I have come to understand its principles."

"Now I need to buy 'The World-Destroying Gun Manual, Volume 2'"

The woman in red smiled and said:
"In the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Laws, the secret manuals are divided into three types: under the realm of intent, realm, and law."

"The World-Destroying Gun Manual is a top-level gun technique manual created by the Spark Civilization over tens of millions of years. The complete version is a law-level manual."

"It is divided into two volumes, suitable for martial artists with the four attributes of fire, earth, metal, and lightning."

"The first volume is a domain-level manual, and the second volume is a law-level manual."

"After the destruction of the Starfire Civilization, the secret manuals circulated in the Blazing Sun Starfield, allowing countless civilizations to cultivate them, and countless powerful individuals to cultivate them simultaneously."

"After being collected by the Lieyang Academy, and through the organization, summarization, and improvement by top experts, it has become a 9-star quality spear technique manual!"

Lin Qi's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected that the "World-Destroying Gun Manual" had also been improved.

It was originally a five-star quality manual, corresponding to the nine-star level of the Myriad Laws Pavilion.

Even if it is further improved, although it cannot break through the nine-star quality, its sophistication and lethality will be enhanced.

After the woman in red finished her introduction, a large red screen was projected in front of Lin Qi.

[The Complete Edition of the World-Destroying Gun Manual (Gold)] Category: Law-Level Manual, Rating: Nine Stars, Price: 10 million Deep Space Coins (Note: Can be purchased separately, Volume 1 for 1 million, Volume 2 for 9 million)

……

After reading it, Lin Qi gasped in shock.

This marksmanship is way too expensive!

Just then, the woman in red spoke with a smile:
"Martial artist Lin Qi, according to the rules of the Blazing Sun Academy, those who successfully advance in the second round of the Deep Space Genius Competition will enjoy a 9% discount!"

Lin Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this. If it was 9% off, he could save 100 million Deep Space Coins!
With that in mind, he decided to buy it immediately.

The man in red, with the red horn, nodded and said, "Martial artist Lin Qi, you have chosen to purchase the complete version of 'The World-Destroying Gun Manual'."

"Do you need to purchase other manuals or techniques?"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Of course I do. My spiritual power has broken through to the second level of the universe, and I have condensed a soul core. The spiritual power cultivation manual, 'Divine Thought Thousand Threads,' has been perfected."

"I need a new mental power manual!"

After hearing this, the woman in red quickly came up with an answer:

"After a martial artist's spiritual power breaks through to the second level of the universe and condenses a soul core, it can be further improved as long as there are cultivation resources."

"More sophisticated mental power techniques can enhance resource absorption, strengthen mental control, and resist mental attacks from other martial artists or even races."

"The Divine Thousand Threads is also a spiritual power manual created by the Spark Civilization."

"It is also recorded in the Myriad Laws Pavilion. Its advanced manual is called 'Divine Thought Without Form,' which focuses on improving mental strength, defense, and control!"

After he finished speaking, the red screen in front of Lin Qi began to switch again.

【"Divine Thought Without Form", Category: Mental Power Manual, Rating: Nine Stars, Price: 800 million Deep Space Coins!】

……

Lin Qi's heart bled when he saw the price was only 800 million. Although it was a little cheaper than "The World-Destroying Gun Codex", it was still very expensive.

Fortunately, he has enough money now; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to buy so many cheat codes.

Then he thought of his movement technique and decided to buy the movement technique manual in one go, so that he wouldn't have to come back again after breaking through his movement technique.
"Red Robe, my movement technique has now reached 99% of the fifth level, and I cultivate the lightning attribute technique 'Nine Lightning Flashes,' while I have awakened a metal attribute ability. Does this mean I need to change my manual?"

The woman in red smiled and replied, "There's no need to change the secret manual."

"You only need to comprehend the Law of Thunder and break through to the sixth level of your movement technique."

"According to research data, if one does not awaken the corresponding ability, the ability to comprehend the laws will improve, but that does not mean that one cannot comprehend them."

"Some geniuses can comprehend the laws of several unawakened abilities simultaneously."

"The 'Nine Flashes of Thunder' is also a movement technique manual from the Starfire Civilization. Its advanced movement technique manual is the 'Thunder Escape Diagram'."

The screen switches during the presentation.

[Thunderous Escape Technique, a Law-level movement technique manual, rated nine stars, priced at 600 million Deep Space Coins!]

Upon seeing it, Lin Qi made the purchase without hesitation.

"That's all for these three!"

The woman in red nodded and said, "Okay!"

"You have purchased three secret manuals: The Complete Edition of the World-Destroying Spear Manual, The Formless Divine Thought, and The Thunder Escape Diagram."

"A total of 2300 million Deep Space Coins, but due to your 9% discount, the total is 2070 million Deep Space Coins!"
