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

Chapter 688 Three Months of Improvement! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In the virtual world of the universe, within one's personal space.

Lin Qi, dressed in a black training suit, appeared out of thin air, his feet resting on the alloy ground.

The next second, after choosing a black spear, he began practicing the "World-Destroying Spear Manual".

His combat prowess was tested in the battle against the Southern Column, and with his current strength, defeating Byers would be significantly easier.

If he goes all out, he's confident he can kill him in a few rounds!

Even against the strongest genius of Lieyang Star—Yanmo Yaoyu—he was confident he could fight him.

Looking back on the fight now, he is confident that his opponent was not as good as him in terms of physical ability.

However, it's different when it comes to martial arts skills. His opponent has a very deep understanding of the laws of fire, but he doesn't know exactly what level he has reached.

Because Yao Yu hadn't gone all out in the second round, he didn't know exactly how strong his opponent was.

However, in terms of skill, he was definitely much stronger than himself.

[Gun Technique: Tier 6, 08%]

[Agility: Rank 6, 05%]

……

He glanced at his current skill level and planned to raise his marksmanship to level six by 10% within the next three months.
Now that he has the Heavenly Eye and the Soul Essence to aid his cultivation, he will be able to comprehend the Law of Metal much faster.

Then comes movement technique, the goal is 6th rank 08%.
Time is tight and the task is heavy!
Although it's very difficult, if you push yourself, you might be pleasantly surprised.

"Whoosh!!!"

Thinking of this, he began to swing his spear. A dazzling golden light burst forth, and a sharp true intent surged forth, instantly enveloping the training ground in a golden domain.

The tip of the spear shimmered with golden light, which were strands of golden threads—the Law of Gold!
The surrounding space was cut off, as if it could destroy everything around it.

"I've already mastered the 'Sharp Edge Scroll' to a certain extent; now I can focus my attention on the 'Severe Kill Scroll' and the 'Solid Foundation Scroll'."

"It will allow me to have more diverse methods of dealing with the enemy!"

"Buzz!"

As Lynch wielded his gun and changed his techniques, the movement of every cell in his body also changed.

The gun vibrated, and waves of vibrational power swept out from his body, affecting the metal element in the surrounding air like radiation.

It is omnipresent; the moment the marksmanship is unleashed, the gold particles in the air instantly transform into dancing blades.

"call!!"

As Lin Qi forcefully fired his gun, a golden shockwave was released, demonstrating once again the application of the Law of Metal.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, Lin Qi's third eye between his eyebrows opened again, radiating dazzling golden light, and the world became clearer.

In the world of the Heavenly Eye, the world is made up of laws, and Lynch observes the Law of Gold alone.

The entire world is filled with countless laws of metal, and the deeper his understanding of these laws, the more power he can leverage.

He has only grasped a small part of the principles, which is far too superficial.

I only grasped a little of the true meaning of sharpness.

Now he needs to understand what the true meaning of killing is, which is a continuous killing intent.

By creating vibrations, the surrounding environment undergoes intense friction, and the surrounding metal particles are pried open by the power of the laws.

They are everywhere!

"Buzz!"

Lin Qi felt that as he used his marksmanship, the sharpness around his body was driven by the marksmanship, vibrating at a high frequency.

The cutting power has been greatly increased.

If a piece of meat is thrown in, it will be instantly cut into pieces only one millimeter in size, about the size of a mung bean.

Lin Qi felt that this true meaning focused on wide-range attacks, quite similar to the Sha Hai style and the Po Jun style.

They even extracted the commonalities from these elements to create the "Somber Scroll".

The mere ability to pry open metal particles and enhance the lethality of its edge is enough to kill the vast majority of opponents.

While demonstrating his marksmanship, Lin Qi observed the laws through his Heavenly Eye.

It was as if he had taken a bottle of Bloodvine Potion, which greatly enhanced his understanding of the laws.

With continuous observation, he gradually became proficient in the "Somber and Deadly Scroll," and he gradually grasped its true meaning.

But after an unknown amount of time, he felt mentally exhausted and immediately shut down his third eye.

Activate the [Golden Eyes] to practice your spear techniques!
"Chi chi chi!!"

He brandished the spear, which resembled serrated edges encircling his body.

The incoming metal weapons will be instantly cut and shattered.

After cultivating for an unknown period of time, Lin Qi felt a sudden enlightenment.

Suddenly, he swung the spear, using his body as an axis, mobilizing his body cells, and following the power exertion method described in the spear technique, causing his body to drive the spear to rotate.

The Law of Metal descended, mobilizing the golden energy to condense into a high-frequency oscillating blade wheel with a radius of five meters!

And it continued to expand, quickly reaching a radius of 10 meters, merging with the surrounding golden domain.

It continuously tears apart the surrounding air, making it incredibly destructive!

"Deep Blue, attack me!"

"Ok!"

As Lin Qi suddenly spoke, Shen Lan appeared out of thin air, and with a wave of his hand, he condensed a small mountain several meters high, which he then smashed towards Lin Qi.

“Bang bang!!”

Within the range of the blade wheel that Lynch had condensed, it exploded with a bang, dismembered into pieces!

As it approached, it felt as if countless sharp blades were vibrating and cutting at high frequency.

"Da da da!!"

Countless pebbles fell to the ground, none of them larger than a soybean, and were cut into small pieces.

"Buzz!!"

Lin Qi put away his gun, looked at the scattered pebbles on the ground, and nodded in satisfaction!

[You have grasped the true meaning of the chilling power of the Law of Metal, and mastered the "Killing Scroll" from the "World-Destroying Spear Manual." Your understanding of the law has deepened, and your spear technique has greatly improved. Spear Technique +1%]

[Gun Technique: Tier 6 08% → Tier 6 09%]

……

Lin Qi looked at the information on the panel; he had just successfully grasped the true meaning of killing intent.

He also owes a great deal to his improved comprehension and the Heavenly Eye, which enabled him to better comprehend the true meaning of the laws!

"I feel like I've improved a lot, but my marksmanship has only improved by 1%."

Lin Qi shook his head. Once you reach the sixth rank, it's not so easy to significantly improve your spear skills!
If the laws are likened to a vast ocean, then what he has now comprehended is merely a drop in the ocean.

The laws of nature are too profound!

Thinking about this, Lin Qi made a brief summary.

The power of the "Somber Scroll" did not disappoint him.

It is indeed powerful, and quite similar to the killing move "Thousand Mountains Split," although its destructive power is a bit weaker.

But this is just an ordinary move, yet it has such power. He is confident that he can kill Bayes with this move.

As his skill level increases, killing Byers will only become easier.

Even if the other party makes progress in the past six months, they will not be able to surpass me.

By the third round, the two would no longer be considered geniuses of the same caliber.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the time. In just a short while, he had already cultivated for a whole day.

Although he felt a bit mentally exhausted, he was still able to persevere.

So he continued to practice his marksmanship.

……

The Azure Galaxy, a virtual world in the universe.

A huge training ground built on the vast blue ocean.

The ground was made of blue alloy, suspended above the vast ocean, yet it remained motionless, standing firmly on the endless sea.

The waves surged and crashed against the walls of the training ground, creating countless whitecaps.

The sky tilted upside down, and countless waterfalls cascaded down from the horizon.

"Whoosh!!"

The waterfall overflowed into the ocean. On the training ground, there stood a handsome man with tall stature, dressed in blue armor.

With both hands gripping the blue trident tightly, as he swung it, the endless water around him converged, resembling a deep-sea beast in the shape of a whale.

The water domain emanated from him and spread outwards.

Endless ripples spread, and within the domain, the weak were imprisoned and suppressed.

Even top geniuses will be subject to powerful suppression.

The blue water contains endless mysteries of water.

Byebyas was completely immersed in it, wielding his halberd and using his movement techniques in perfect harmony, powerful yet agile.

The exquisite manual allowed him to better understand the laws of water.

"boom!!"

Like a roaring beast, the water burst open with a deafening roar, and as the water dispersed, a torrential rain began to fall on the training ground!
Byas stood quietly in the rain, letting the raindrops pelt him.

"Buzz!"

A moment later, a figure appeared on the training ground. It was a tall man with handsome features.

He wore a long silver robe and exuded a terrifying aura.

Suddenly, he spoke up, praising:

"Byrus, with your current strength, you are one of the strongest in previous generations."

"There are very few geniuses stronger than you now."

Byas frowned and said calmly:

"But I still lost to Lynch from the Blue Star civilization!"

"I am stronger overall, but I still lost to him."

"When he fought me, his movement technique hadn't even broken through to the sixth level!"

"Losing to him is a disgrace to me!"

"This shows I'm not strong enough!" "The third round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament is less than three months away."

I want a higher ranking!

“There are 108 star regions, and in some of them, powerful geniuses are born every year.”

"Even if I wanted to defeat them, it would be very difficult."

The man in the silver robe slowly spoke:

"Our human race has countless geniuses, like stars in the universe!"

"In my year of the Deep Space Genius Competition, in the Blazing Sun Starfield, I was the strongest genius of the Wan Hai Association, one of the top 5 geniuses."

"But in the entire human race, across 108 star systems, I don't even rank in the top 100."

"And the most powerful geniuses are those with special physiques, who are Star Domain-level geniuses."

"This is a stage for geniuses, where you can witness the most outstanding geniuses in the entire human race."

"Many powerful descendants of the five realms of the universe, and top geniuses born from small forces, will compete on the same stage."

"It's an unforgettable experience for every genius!"

Bayes' eyes lit up after hearing this, and he couldn't help but say:

"With my talent, I'm aiming for a top 50 finish, or even higher, in this third round!"

"There's still time. I need to become stronger!"

The man in the silver robe nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this scene. If a genius with top-tier talent continues to work hard, then his progress will become extremely terrifying.

……

Meanwhile, throughout the 108 star systems of the entire human race in the universe.

Among the 108 million geniuses who have entered the third round, some are still working hard in silence, hoping to make a name for themselves.

Some geniuses are extremely confident in their abilities and wait to sweep away all their opponents.

"I need to work harder; I want to join the highest power!"

“They promised me that if I could gain access to the supreme power, they would heal my father and rebuild our planet. I will definitely go in.”

"This Deep Space Genius Competition is destined to be my stage!"

"I possess a special physique. This time, I will become the champion of the Deep Space Genius competition and join the strongest supreme force!"

"..."

……

Time passed slowly, and more than two months went by in the blink of an eye.

Lin Qi has completely entered a state of seclusion, except for occasionally going downstairs to visit his parents and younger siblings to relax.

The rest of the time, he either cultivates his mental strength or practices marksmanship and movement techniques in the virtual world of the universe.

Every day, he could feel his strength improving.

This feeling gave him great motivation to cultivate.

The divine power of the Heavenly Eye, [Insight], allowed him to comprehend the power of laws with increasing ease.

Combat strength has been continuously improving.

November 30, 2055 in the Martial Arts Calendar.

Yujing Haoting Residential Complex, Building 5, Wudao Indoor.

In the newly renovated martial arts room, Lin Qi, dressed in black, sat cross-legged on the alloy floor.

He closed his eyes tightly, his body enveloped by an invisible spiritual force.

In the space of consciousness, a residential community was successfully constructed, with six high-rise buildings, a parking lot, and streets all outlined.

It resembles a real street model, and Lynch is its creator.

At this point, he continued to build other neighborhoods nearby, as well as construct streets.

He has images and blueprints of the surroundings stored in his mind, which he can recreate using his mental power.

This is also the most difficult part. It is through continuous building that, according to the principle of use and disuse, as long as he keeps building, his control ability can be continuously improved.

This process was not very easy; the difficulty of control increased, and Lin Qi gradually began to struggle.

If it's strenuous, it means the training is effective. As long as he perseveres, his control ability will improve.

He has now built a network covering a 5-kilometer radius around Rongshan Community, and soon it will be Tianhai No. 2 Middle School's turn.

This is the result of his three months of cultivation.

Deep within her consciousness, a completely transparent crystal sphere was now covered with numerous silver threads.

In a short while, another thread was added.

As time went on, the number of threads gradually increased, while a large amount of grayish-white mist permeated the area around the sphere.

It continuously enters the sphere and becomes threads.

These are all spiritual essences provided by the 60% pure soul marrow, constantly tempering his concentration.

Finally, after Lin Qi felt the icy sensation dissipate, he stopped moving.

A vast spiritual force spread outwards from the body like a large net.

1 kilometer, 3 kilometers, 5 kilometers, 10 kilometers...

It didn't come to a complete stop until it reached 15 kilometers!

"My perception has improved again!"

The next second, he withdrew his mental perception and delved into his own body.

From muscles, internal organs, tendons, bones, blood, and bone marrow.

You can easily feel each part, and then go deeper to see clearer details, such as the secret patterns formed by the origin of the Golden Body, which appear in every part.

He continued to delve deeper until he reached the cells, at which point he was able to observe their movement like a detector.

Hopefully, we can perceive it more clearly now.

When his mental strength is strong enough in the future, he may be able to integrate his mental strength into his cells, and even if he only has cells, he will be able to revive.

As far as he knew, when one's level of understanding was high enough, one could see through a person's entire being with just a glance, leaving no secrets.

Of course, this level is too high; Lin Qi felt that only beings at the highest level could achieve it.

"Hoohoo!!"

Suddenly, Lin Qi opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and penetrating, as if he could see through everything.

[You have consumed 60% pure Soul Essence and cultivated "Divine Thought Without Form," enhancing your mental control and refining your spirit. Your mental strength has increased by 800.]

[Mental Strength: 13.02 → 13.10]

……

Lin Qi looked at his mental strength and nodded to himself; his mental strength was already very high.

Having regularly consumed 60% pure soul essence, they had never fought such a rich battle before.

He had 50 bottles of Soul Essence, and within three months, he had used up 40 of them.

Only 10 bottles are left.

"Whoo~"

Lin Qi felt physically comfortable, radiant, and in excellent condition.

Then he looked at his wrist, where he was wearing a silver bracelet.

"drop!"

The virtual bracelet was activated, and Lin Qi chose to enter the cosmic virtual network.

……

In personal space

Lynch stood on the alloy floor, the sky was clear, and a gentle breeze was blowing, just like a real world.

"It's time to practice my movement techniques!"

"call out!"

In the instant his clothes fluttered, his body vanished from the spot, covered by silver lightning.

Lightning rubbed against the air, and electric current filled every corner of the training ground.

Lynch himself became one with the surrounding lightning, gaining lightning-like speed.

Of course, this is an exaggeration. He turned into a blur in the training ground, like a thunderclap, with incredible speed, both fast and agile.

"Deep Blue, commence the attack!"

"boom!"

After Lin Qi finished speaking, in a corner of the training ground, a series of machines that resembled high walls rose up, and countless silver needles shot out from the numerous silver holes.

"Boooooooh!!"

Countless silver needles shot in from all directions. Lin Qi's eyes shone with golden light, and he sensed the trajectory of all the silver needles around him.

He moved with lightning speed, easily dodging the attacks of countless silver needles.

Several minutes later, still no silver needles hit the mark.

"Buzz!!"

In the instant he was running, two illusory forms of lightning instantly materialized.

They ran wildly in different directions.

“Bang bang!!”

A moment later, the two illusory lightning forms were struck by the silver needles and vanished into the air as lightning.

Meanwhile, Lin Qi's true form continued to run wildly, while simultaneously condensing a lightning illusion.

After being pierced by the silver needles, he continued to condense, repeating this process over and over again.

Until several hours later!
"Bang bang!"

Lin Qi swung his fist, unleashing a bolt of lightning that instantly caused the massive machine to explode, scattering debris everywhere.

After all the machines were destroyed, he stopped, and the lightning on his body began to subside.

[You have cultivated the movement technique "Thunder Escape Diagram" and gained some insights into the laws of thunder. Your movement technique level has improved, and your movement technique has increased by 1%.]

[Agility: Rank 6 08% → Rank 6 09%]
