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

Chapter 684 The Law of Thunder! (Seeking monthly votes)
The Sun Galaxy, a virtual cosmic network

"Boom!"

A personal world amidst volcanoes, where the air is thick with intense heat.

"Whoosh!"

A volcano couldn't resist erupting, spewing hot, thick lava from its crater and scattering it across the surrounding ground.

Among the many volcanoes, there is a flat training ground!
A tall figure dressed in a blood-red training uniform sat cross-legged, with short red hair.

Opposite him, Yao Ying, dressed in a blue robe, tall and slender with delicate features and a water mark between his brows, instantly appeared.

"Yaoyu, you really are hardworking!"

"With your strength and your special physique—the Sun Physique—no one in the same realm within the Blazing Sun Starfield can rival you!"

After hearing this, Yao Yu's lips curled up slightly, and he asked:

"I heard you went to the Blue Star civilization to recruit Lin Qi, trying to persuade him to immigrate to our Lieyang Star?"

Yao Ying nodded and said, "That's right. His galaxy is in the Lost Star System, where energy is scarce and Blue Star itself is very barren."

"If they hadn't been locked onto by the trial planet, they would never have been able to rise to power."

"But this planet, which has been developing martial arts for decades, has actually produced more than 10 galaxy-level geniuses."

"It even produced top geniuses like Lynch, who were able to defeat Bias."

"So we want them to immigrate to our Lieyang Star."

Yao Yu asked, "And then you failed?"

Yao Ying admitted, "That's right!"

Yao Yu nodded and said, "It's normal to fail. If it were me, I wouldn't immigrate either. With their talent, they would most likely be able to enter a supreme power."

"They have a bright future and will grow up eventually."

"If he agrees to immigrate so easily, his future will be limited, and he will never be able to enter the highest power."

"I now think more highly of him."

"In the third round, he might have a chance to go even further and compete for a top 100 spot!"

"As for my goal, it's the championship!"

"The human race of the universe, 108 star regions, our Lieyang star region ranks among the top ten."

“In star regions similar to ours, those in the top ten or even stronger than ours, a star region-level genius is born every hundred years.”

"A special physique, only one in every tens of thousands of galaxy-level geniuses may be born."

“Every year there are several geniuses with special physiques. The reason I am so strong is because I have the Sun Physique.”

"If people in other star systems also awaken special physiques, then I will lose my advantage."

"And there will be several such beings!"

"But our year is different; we actually have more than 10 people in our class!"

"These are my future competitors, and they possess greater combat power than other geniuses."

Yao Ying laughed and said, "Geniuses with special physiques can condense nine source veins, making their physical qualities far superior to other geniuses."

"And there are also some geniuses who have been at the peak of the Sky-Soaring Realm for one or two decades. Even if they break through to the second level of the Universe Realm, they may not be able to enter the highest power."

"I decided to stay in the Sky Realm and continuously improve my mental strength and hone my martial arts skills, so my combat power is also extremely terrifying!"

Yao Yu nodded and said, "Such a contestant is just as terrifying as someone with a special physique. Their powerful laws can suppress our physical abilities."

"Therefore I must become stronger, my understanding of the Law of Fire is not deep enough."

Yao Ying nodded and said, "Then I won't disturb your cultivation any longer. I wish you success in becoming the final champion of this Deep Space Genius Competition."

After saying that, she vanished into nothingness.

……

A day later, Lin Qi, who had slept for two days, slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and relaxed.

He hadn't slept in so long that he felt completely relaxed.

In the living room, Lin Zhen, sitting on the sofa, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Qi and said:
"Xiao Qi, you've been in seclusion for a month, and I'm starting to worry that you might have gone mad from your cultivation."

Lin Qi laughed and said, "With my talent, it would be quite difficult for me to go astray in my cultivation."

"However, as my cultivation level increases, the duration of each seclusion session will become longer and longer!"

"Next time, you can have your AI companion ask Xiao Chan, and she will check my life status in real time."

"Brother, I miss you so much!"

The younger siblings jumped off the sofa and rushed into Lin Qi's arms.

"Xiaoxiao, Zhaoyue, I miss you both too!"

Lin Qi put the two down, rubbed their heads, and then sat down on the sofa.

After a month apart, my younger brother and sister have grown taller, taller than the average four-year-old, and their bones are stronger.

Lin Qi thought this was a good thing, as he could become stronger while also being able to accompany his younger siblings as they grew up.

He sat down and listened to his younger siblings recount their daily lives at kindergarten.

They also started practicing martial arts in kindergarten, but they only practiced simple techniques, using stance training to build a foundation.

During dinner, Lin Zhen, the father, suddenly asked seriously:

"Xiao Qi, in the past month, many civilizations have started to communicate with our Blue Star, or establish diplomatic relations, trade and so on."

“Some civilizations have approached me specifically to cooperate with me, offering very generous, even ridiculously good, terms.”

"Some of them even wanted to have dinner with me!"

Lin Qi immediately understood what was going on after hearing this.

So he said, "Normal trade is fine. There's no need to accept anything if you want us to send you gifts."

He knew that as his talent became increasingly extraordinary, such things were inevitable.

Lin Zhen, the father, also knew what was going on.

……

After dinner, Lin Qi and his younger siblings took a walk in the yard!

He then took out his phone to check the messages.

A month has passed, and the major universities on Earth have started their new semester one after another!

After exchanging ideas with Dean Liu, Lin Qi discovered that the number of geniuses who had awakened their abilities this year had exceeded 500.

If I remember correctly, there were only 50 people in his class.

It has now swelled to 500 people, a tenfold increase.

This is enough to show that the overall martial arts level of their Xia Kingdom is also constantly improving.

He also saw a message that Qin Heng, the grandson of the Crimson Emperor, was 15 years old and had skipped a grade to enter the Azure Sky Martial Arts University.

Lin Qi remembered the other person. He had met him a few years ago at the Black Dragon Base. The other person was a galaxy-level genius with a promising future.

Unfortunately, he was too young and weak, and missed out on this year's Deep Space Genius Tournament.

We'll have to wait until the next one, which is 100 years from now!
Next, Lin Qi continued browsing the news. The arrival of other civilizations made the entire planet Earth even more lively.

Most importantly, a large number of people have chosen to immigrate, which has caused a stir on Earth, but it has been quickly suppressed.

Looking at the messages in the group chat, Lin Qi learned that more than 10 Sky-Soaring Realm warriors on Blue Star had chosen to immigrate.

Lynch didn't have many thoughts on this either; the moment they immigrated, they were no longer human.

Lin Qi could only respect the other party's opinion. He himself felt that Earth was developing rapidly and that they had the potential to become an advanced civilization.

In the future, it will also become an advanced civilization, just like the Lieyang Civilization, and become the overlord of a star field.

"Huh? There are actually people who have immigrated to our Earth?"

Lin Qi suddenly looked puzzled after seeing a news article.

But on second thought, it makes sense.

Earth is weak now, but it will become stronger in the future.

They are a highly advanced civilization in the future. If we immigrate now, our future children will all be human beings from Earth.

If you marry a human from Earth, your future children might also have extraordinary talents.

It's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it!

People leave, and people come in; the planet Earth continues to function normally no matter who leaves.

Everyone has their own ideas.

Lin Qi shook his head and continued browsing the news.

……

Evening, in residence number 10.

In the spacious living room, a large number of hot pots and barbecue dishes were laid out on the table.

The burly Jiang Tao raised his beer and said heartily:
"Cheers to my successful understanding of the power of the laws!"

"It's been a month, and I've finally managed to condense the power of the Earth Law. It wasn't easy!"

After finishing a bottle of wine in one go, Jiang Tao exclaimed:

"It's really been so difficult. I took the Blood Vine Potion, but I still didn't break through."

"So I had to spend 500 million Deep Space Coins to have the God of War let me experience the Law of Earth every day."

"Finally, yesterday, I comprehended the Law of Earth!"

Jiang Miaoyin smiled and said, "That's because Senior War God is a kind person. He said that he has reached a point where it is difficult for him to make further progress, but he is confident that he can enter the supreme power."

"Therefore, we will spend time engaging in combat to help us understand the laws."

“Sun Sheng also grasped this through this method.”

"And then there's Li Tianxing. He sought out the Crimson Emperor for intense sparring, experiencing the power of the laws before he finally comprehended it."

"Although it cost a lot of Deep Space Coins, the price was still considered cheap."

"It is said that more Deep Space Coins are needed in this virtual world."

Lin Qi exclaimed, "The Crimson Emperor and the God of War both had a grand vision; their contributions were immense!"

Then Jiang Tao said seriously:

"Brother Qi, you seem to have changed a lot during your seclusion this time. Your aura has become increasingly terrifying."

"I have this feeling that you could strike me dead at any moment, and I can't even look directly at your brow, it feels like there's something terrifying inside."

"Brother Qi, have you awakened something extraordinary again?"

Jiang Miaoyin, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement:

"I feel the same way!" Lin Qi laughed. "There has indeed been a breakthrough. You might see it in the third round!"

The changes in one's brow cannot be hidden.

He didn't intend to hide it; after all, he was a Yin-type awakened being, so it wouldn't be surprising if he awakened some kind of ability.

As far as he knew, in the Lieyang Starfield, there was a Tianmu civilization, and they had three eyes.

Moreover, in other star systems, there is another star system overlord who also possesses three eyes.

This is not surprising!
Perhaps, in the third round, he will demonstrate his ability to see the heavens.

"Taozi, A Miao, three months have passed now."

"The Deep Space Genius Competition is getting closer and closer."

"I hope that you will join me in entering the realm of the supreme power."

Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin nodded earnestly and said, "We will try our best!"

"cheers!"

……

The next day, in the martial arts room.

Lin Qi had a rare three-day break, and all his physical and mental fatigue dissipated.

He was wearing a black training suit and sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"There are only three months left, I need to make the most of the remaining time!"

For the past three months, Lin Qi has been focusing all his efforts on condensing the 9th Origin Vein. He believes that with his current strength...

If I were to face Bias again, I would absolutely crush him; my physical attributes alone would be enough.

However, his target is no longer someone at the level of Byers, but someone with an even stronger special physique.

He wants to win the Deep Space Genius Tournament and get the biggest reward.

Therefore, my current strength is insufficient, and I need to continue to hone my martial arts skills.

He looked at his control panel.

【Name: Lin Qi (28)】

……

This is his current full strength. His blood and qi are at their peak, and his spear technique has also steadily improved due to his understanding of the Law of Metal and his cultivation of the "World-Destroying Spear Manual, Volume 2".

The only weakness is movement technique.

"The next step is to break through the barrier of movement technique."

Lynch turned on the virtual bracelet and logged into the cosmic virtual network.

……

Personal space, a spacious training ground!
"Buzz!"

Lin Qi, dressed in a black martial arts uniform, appeared out of thin air.

"Deep Blue, I need to comprehend the Law of Thunder. Simulate a thunderstorm for me!"

The deep blue of her blue dress emerged, and upon hearing Lin Qi's request, she nodded, "No problem!"

"Boom!!"

The next second, the clear sky instantly darkened, shrouded in heavy, inky clouds that pressed the sky down low.

"Tick!"

Rain poured down from the dark clouds, turning into a torrential downpour in an instant.

Large raindrops pounded on the alloy floor, splashing up in clusters of silvery blossoms.

Lin Qi let the torrential rain pelt his body, without using his internal energy to resist it, simply feeling the raindrops falling on him.

The feeling and the tactile sensation in this product are almost 100% realistic.
"Boom!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket ripped across the sky and exploded on the ground a few meters away from him.

In an instant, Lin Qi's eyes shone with dazzling golden light [Golden Eyes], and began to operate.

In the instant the lightning exploded, he saw the patterns of the lightning, a strange trajectory composed of thousands of tiny lightning bolts.

That's the Law of Thunder!

"I need to observe more clearly!"

As Lin Qi thought of this, the fine golden line between his brows slowly opened, bursting forth with dazzling golden light, and a golden vertical pupil opened, its gaze disdainful.

He watched the lightning python strike down from the sky. In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to freeze, and the lightning also stopped in mid-air. He activated the [Insight] divine power.

The Thunder Python was magnified and dissected, revealing that it was composed of a jumble of chaotic silver runes arranged according to a specific pattern.

At the same time, they seemed to come alive, transforming into silver snakes dancing wildly.

Lynch saw in it ferocity and speed...

These are the true meanings of the Law of Thunder, and now they are all revealed in his Heavenly Eye.

Lynch watched the lightning strike the ground, the alloy floor cracking open, the power raging, and the speed unbelievable!

Its speed, in particular, also has a specific combination of secret patterns!

This is the Law of Thunder!
The power of the laws was clearly displayed before his eyes.

Even a simulated lightning bolt would be enough for him.

In an instant, a flood of insights surged into his mind.

He couldn't help but begin to unleash the "Nine Lightning Flashes".

"Boohoo!!"

His entire body shot out like lightning, simultaneously creating nine afterimages.

Lin Qi used a specific method of exertion to activate his leg muscles, simulating lightning with his body, and visualized the lightning he had observed in his mind.

The lightning emission method and the arrangement of the lightning patterns!
Unbeknownst to him, strands of lightning laws began to stir around his body.

During thunderstorms, the power of lightning intensifies and begins to permeate the air of the training ground.

"Buzz!!"

"Tick-tock!!"

The rain grew heavier, and the raindrops that fell on them were all blasted away by the force of the internal energy.

Lynch's speed increased and his agility grew, as if he had truly become one with lightning.

As insights kept emerging, he was getting closer and closer to comprehending the true meaning of the lightning law!
at last!

After an unknown amount of time, a bolt of lightning shot out from the sky and struck down heavily, its target Lin Qi.

Sensing the danger emanating from the lightning, Lin Qi's lips curled into a smile.

"Well done!"

Lin Qi withdrew his internal energy and prepared to face the lightning.

"Boom!"

The lightning struck him, causing his entire body to tremble violently, his muscles to spasm, and he to vibrate like waves.

The lightning, powerful enough to turn an ordinary person into a charred corpse, only caused Lynch pain, but could not cause him any greater harm.

In the moments he was struck these past few days, Lin Qi clearly felt the power of the Law of Lightning: its ferocity, its speed, its intensity...

Feeling the attack of lightning, after they separated, they were constructed from lightning runes. In an instant, Lin Qi felt the surrounding of the Law of Lightning!

He got it!
As the world changes, in his Heavenly Eye, besides the dazzling golden lines, there are also silver lightning bolts, constructed from lightning runes!

Now, with a thought, he began to activate the secret runes of the Law of Thunder!
"Buzz!!"

"Zizzi!!"

Lin Qi's body was enveloped in lightning; it was the power of lightning. He had comprehended the Law of Lightning and received its blessing.

"Boohoo!!"

Lynch felt his body become lighter, his steps more powerful, his muscles electrified, his cells rubbed together, and the current broke free from the constraints of gravity.

Everything around seemed to slow down, and the raindrops seemed to stop falling in the air.

too fast!
His speed increased dramatically, and he reached out and touched the raindrops, causing them to explode instantly!

[You used your divine eye to "see through" lightning, successfully observing the laws of thunder and comprehending the true meaning of speed, thus entering the realm of the laws of thunder!]

[Your Law of Thunder has been successfully integrated into your movement technique "Nine Flashes of Thunder," your movement technique has broken through to the sixth-tier Law, movement technique +5%]

[Agility: 5th Rank 99% → 6th Rank 4%]

……

"Om!!"

"Da da!!"

Lin Qi stopped, his entire body enveloped in lightning power, silver lightning crackling around him.

"My movement technique has finally broken through!"

Lin Qi was in high spirits. Now that he had comprehended the Law of Thunder, his weakness in movement techniques had finally been overcome.

Improving his comprehension did not disappoint him.

Before he awakened, with his talent, it might have taken him another two or three months to break through.

After awakening, he broke through in a very short time.

Of course, the most crucial element is the supernatural power of insight granted by the Heavenly Eye.
