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

Chapter 710 A Slight Move! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
On the giant arena, Lin Qi stood on the alloy ground, wearing black armor and wielding a black and gold spear.

His eyes were deep-set, and a sharp edge was brewing within them.

His eyes were fixed on his opponent in this match—Lan!

The other person has delicate features and a slender, streamlined figure, but every muscle contains a power as vast as the ocean.

She is over 85 meters tall, wears dark blue armor, and wields a sword that is like a long whip!

Just like a chainsaw-like sword, it can be stretched into a long, sharp whip, and can also be spliced ​​together to form a sharp sword!
It has a special name—Chain Sword!
This weapon is rarely used, but those who know how to use it are all experts!
Even a galaxy-level genius like her is no match for her.

Lan slowly spoke:

"Lin Qi, this match is very important for both of us!"

"Our two star systems have a long-standing feud, and we both want to defeat each other."

"They all want to outdo each other!"

"Now I represent the Netherworld Star Region, and you represent the Blazing Sun Star Region. We are both the last contestants from our respective star regions!"

"Winning gives us the upper hand over the opponent!"

"I hope you can show your full potential and leave no regrets!"

Lin Qi smiled and said, "That's what I wanted to say to you too!"

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

[Countdown complete, battle officially begins!]

Intelligent voice announces the official start of the battle!
"boom!"

The atmosphere above the arena was extremely oppressive. As the two simultaneously released their inner energy, it exploded like ignited gunpowder.

The flowing water and sharp edges coalesced out of thin air, and the laws of water and metal in the air began to collide instantly at the summoning of the two.

“Bang bang!!”

"Buzz!!"

The forces from the two domains collided, creating a powerful energy storm.

At the very moment of impact, Lan Dong moved. With her toes touching the ground, her body was surrounded by the force of flowing water, and she herself, like a mermaid, wielded the sharp sword in her hand.

Surrounded by blue, flowing energy, it resembled a nimble swordfish the moment it was thrust out.

The power of the laws made the arena seem to be washed away by the sea!
She was incredibly fast!

Her unique physique, the Netherworld Body, grants her a high affinity for water, as well as unparalleled agility and speed!

With the blessing of the laws, her figure disappeared from the spot!

"Om!!"

Standing still, his legs were like the roots of an old tree, as stable as a rock!
A dazzling golden light emanated from his body, and three layers of golden patterns appeared, as he mobilized the golden laws in the air.

The Golden Emperor's Qi surged from his body like liquid metal, swirling around him and condensing into ten dark golden, three-meter-long spear-like beams.

"Boooooooh!!"

"You think this attack can hurt me?"

Facing the golden spear energy that shot out, Lan smiled disdainfully, dodging it with agile movements. Her figure moved as if boneless, her movements nimble and graceful.

She swayed her body, making incredible movements without affecting her speed!

He swung the chain sword in his hand, and several meters of blue sword energy condensed and slashed out fiercely!

“Bang bang!!”

The two forces clashed violently, shattering the golden spear energy.

Lin Qi frowned; the quality of the opponent's condensed internal energy was extremely high!
This is something his Golden Emperor Qi cannot compare to.

The Golden Emperor's罡劲 (Golden Emperor's罡劲) is a罡劲 created in the "Golden Emperor's Secret Manual," and it is the most advanced secret manual in the Spark Civilization.

After being sent to Wanda Pavilion, it was perfected by the powerful figures of the Lieyang Star Region.

However, just like the secret manuals, the cultivation techniques are far inferior to those created by the dominant forces!
The opponent's internal energy could perfectly utilize the power of their physique, while mine could not.

In previous matches, he relied on his superior physical abilities to overwhelm his opponents.

Now that they've encountered another genius who has also condensed nine source veins, the gap is hard to bridge.

There are differences in the techniques and manuals!

The situation is very unfavorable for him!
The next instant, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and the sharp sword was like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, with flowing energy swirling around its body.

Lin Qi swung his spear, using it as a round shield for defense!

“Ding ding!!”

The moment of impact, Lin Qi felt the invisible flowing sword energy around him, like venomous snakes shooting towards him.

Each sword aura was cold and damp, possessing a corrosive property.

The invisible effects can damage the human body, slow blood flow, and harm internal organs and bones!

“Ding ding!!”

As their weapons clashed, the insidious force was transmitted to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi frowned. As expected of someone with a special physique, Lan didn't look strong, but the destructive power she unleashed when combined with her internal energy was still terrifying.

His eyes shone with golden light, and his [Golden Eyes] began to operate.

Before me were sword techniques arranged like a stream.

Lan's attack speed was very fast. Combined with her movement skills, she unleashed one sword after another, creating a rain of swords!
“Ding ding!!”

Lin Qi couldn't help but swing his spear, surrounded by metallic particles, and unleash the "World-Destroying Spear Manual" to fight Lan.

The two clashed repeatedly at an extremely high frequency.

He quickly adapted to Lan's fighting style, seeking opportunities to win.

……

On the high-level viewing seats,
A powerful figure from the Netherworld Starfield, dressed in a specially made blue robe and covered in blue scales, spoke up:

"Lan is a genius in our Youming Star Region. She awakened her special physique at the age of 6!"

"After we found out, we immediately relocated her entire planet to our Youming Star Region."

"She also entered our Netherworld Palace, receiving the best training from a young age and cultivating the best inheritance!"

"This is something Lin Qi can't compare to!"

"His previous opponents were physically weaker than him, which masked his weaknesses!"

"But now, facing Lan, his weaknesses in terms of cultivation techniques, secret manuals, and comprehension of laws are completely exposed!"

"He's not actually that powerful!"

"This battle is practically a foregone conclusion!"

……

Above the athletes' plaza
Even the burly Tusa, who looked like a savage, couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh:

"Xi Yuan, Lin Qi from your star region seems to be far inferior to Lan!"

"If we keep fighting like this, the battle might end very quickly!"

The Dragonspine Starfield Administrator, his chubby face also furrowed, and said:
"Unfortunately, Lin Qi came from a minor civilization, and the secret manuals he learned were far inferior to those of other geniuses with special physiques!"

"This is his fatal weakness!"

"It will be very difficult for him to win!"

Xi Yuan remained calm and said, "Don't rush, the battle has only just begun!"

"Don't let yourself be proven wrong in the end!"

Tusa grinned and said, "I'm not afraid of being proven wrong. Do you think his opponent this time is the same galaxy-level genius as before?"

"Lan is no nobody; she is undeniably powerful in every aspect!"

"Lin Qi, he's doomed to lose!"

……

In the audience
"Lin Qi is at a disadvantage. Lan is indeed powerful; she has unleashed even greater strength than before!"

"These things weren't apparent before!"

"Compared to Lan now, Lin Qi is indeed not strong enough!"

"It seems the results are in!"

"Lan's strength is still superior!"

……

in the audience.

Pan Kai, dressed in a black robe, suddenly asked, "Do you think Lin Qi is destined to lose?"

Monno, who was standing nearby dressed in a white robe, replied after hearing this:
"Judging from the current situation, that is indeed the case."

"But you may have forgotten that Lin Qi was the number one in the Mind Trial, even I lost to him!"

"No one can be certain of victory until the very last moment of the battle!"

"Moreover, both of them possess special physical attributes; they might have some hidden trump cards!"

"I don't think Lynch will lose so easily!"

Pan Kai laughed after hearing this, "You feel bad because Lin Qi lost!"

"After all, he's the only one who's ever beaten you. It would be so disappointing to lose like this!"

……

On the giant arena,

"Boohoo!!"

The silver chain sword, when extended, transforms into a long silver whip, with segments of sharp blades along its edges.

With the blessing of the Law of Water, it is like a nimble water snake baring its fangs!
“Ding ding!!”

Lin Qi brandished his black and gold spear, the shaft trembling as he unleashed the "World-Destroying Spear Manual".

"Sharp Edge Scroll", "Sturdy Scroll", "Somber Scroll"

The three spear techniques were unleashed in succession, with sharp cuts, spear strikes forming a golden shield to defend against attacks, and then a metallic storm.

Golden light swirled around it, slicing through the surrounding sword energy!
With each swing of his gun, all the cells in his body move at high speed, concentrating his power, making his body more agile and his killing moves more powerful!

When faced with an attack resembling a chain sword, once distance is created, the chain sword transforms into a long whip, allowing for agile attacks.

Close the distance and combine them into a sharp sword to strike!
The attack was launched from all directions, and the way the force was exerted was extremely ingenious, bringing the true meaning of the flow of the law of water to its fullest extent.

The power of the whip is transmitted, segment by segment, unleashing terrifying force!

"clang!"

The surging power crashed in like a giant wave.

"clang!"

Lin Qi raised his gun to defend himself, but his body involuntarily shrugged and he staggered back several steps.

"This swordsmanship is indeed exquisite. By passing the power through each segment, it continuously accumulates strength and unleashes tremendous power!"

"Lin Qi, just admit defeat!"

"You are no match for me!"

"There is a huge gap between us!"

Lan, clad in blue armor, wielded her chain sword, appearing like a female war goddess.

The chain sword in his hand shot out like a venomous water snake hunting its prey, its killing intent surging forth!
"call!"

Lin Qi let out a breath; he needed to demonstrate more of his strength.

Starfield-level geniuses are indeed completely different from galaxy-level geniuses.

"Dong Dong!!"

My heart began to pound violently, like a super engine. A continuous stream of power surged from my heart.

"Whoosh!"

His blood and qi flowed faster, and his aura rose steadily!
The golden light in Lin Qi's eyes became even more dazzling, and his muscles bulged all over his body.

Seeing Lan's attack, he couldn't help but speak:

"lose?"

"It's time for you to admit defeat!"

As he spoke, the laws of lightning activated around his body, and his speed suddenly increased dramatically!

Instantly, three illusory lightning bodies split off, and they launched an attack on Lan as if they were real!
"Zizi!"

"This is……"

Lin Qi's sudden outburst caught Lan off guard.

Because the opponent had not previously demonstrated the power of the Law of Thunder.

To comprehend the power of two laws is extremely rare in the Sky Soaring Realm!

She looked at the three illusory figures in front of her, unsure which one to attack.
Finally, choose to attack the middle one!
With a thrust of his chain sword, and using the power of water, it instantly pierced through "Lin Qi!"

"Pfft~"

The pierced clone instantly vanished into lightning, while another lightning phantom shattered under the impact of the water's powerful force.

Lan's pupils constricted slightly!
"Oh no, it's a clone!"

A strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. To his right, the real Lin Qi released his terrifying aura, his hands gripping the black and gold spear tightly.

"Hoohoo!!"

A tremendous force was poured into the spear, which crashed down like a giant golden planet!

Lan instinctively swung her sword to defend herself!
"Oh!"

The moment of impact was like the ringing of a bell; the terrifying force instantly shattered the water's powerful energy.

The force was transmitted throughout her body, causing her to lose consciousness in excruciating pain.

Lan's expression changed drastically, and her body flew backward like a kite with a broken string!

Lynch was not willing to waste such a good opportunity and pressed his advantage!
He's going to take care of Lan in one fell swoop!

"Zizi!"

The Law of Thunder filled his legs, piercing his cells and erupting with a roar.

He thrust out his black and gold spear with fierce force!

The Cataclysmic Gun Manual - Star-Pointing Thrust!

"laugh!"

The spear tip tore through the air, and the powerful force, like liquid metal, condensed into a golden spear wheel, with the golden spear tip weaving like golden threads.

"Pfft~"

Before Lan could defend herself, the golden spear tip pierced her neck with pinpoint accuracy!
A deadly aura surged forth, impossible to resist!

Its sharp edge bursts forth, annihilating all life!
“This power…!”

"How can it be?"

Lan stared at Lin Qi in front of her, her pupils shrinking in disbelief.

Did I just lose like that?
In the next instant, she vanished into nothingness and disappeared into the air.

[Battle over! Lin Qi (Blazing Sun Star Region) wins!!]

[Congratulations to Lin Qi on advancing to the top 7!]

……

Lin Qi put away his big gun and looked up at the intelligent voice system announcing the final result.

He himself was enveloped in blue light and teleported back to his seat.

……

The moment Lan was defeated, she was teleported back to the audience.

Her gaze was vacant, completely unlike her usual self.

Her mind raced, reviewing the battle that had just taken place.

A profound sense of bitterness and frustration filled his heart.

Where exactly did things start to go wrong?

She was clearly the stronger one, and no matter what, she should have been the one to advance.

In terms of techniques, secret manuals, and martial arts skills, she is stronger than Lin Qi.

She had been suppressing her opponent, but he suddenly unleashed the Law of Thunder.

This was not mentioned in previous materials, and Lynch had never used it before.

He actually comprehended two laws; he hid them far too well.

Furthermore, the opponent's physical abilities are clearly superior to his own.

"Lin Qi, he's been hiding his true abilities too well!"

At this moment, all the other contestants from the Netherworld Starfield were in shock.

"It's over, Lan lost!"

"That Lin Qi is too cunning!"

"Our Youming Star Region has completely lost. Even Lian Lan is no match for him!"

Everyone was shocked by Lin Qi's power and lamented the defeat of the Youming Starfield.

They themselves were eliminated, but they were never this upset.

……

Meanwhile, after the battle ended.

The quiet audience seats suddenly erupted in cheers.

The audience, especially those in the Lieyang Starfield, erupted in a tsunami of cheers.

"We won! We actually won!"

"Lin Qi is too strong, he defeated Lan!"

"Our Blazing Sun Starfield has finally defeated the Dark Nether Starfield!"

"I thought we were going to lose!"

"Who would believe that Lin Qi could actually win? How did he do it?"

"It feels like his strength has suddenly increased significantly, and Lan from the Netherworld Star Region is completely unable to withstand it."

"How come I don't understand how Lynch won?"

"The next game is going to be interesting!"

"..."

……

In the high-level viewing seats, the leaders of the Youming Starfield fell silent, and the atmosphere became oppressive.

Meanwhile, the higher-ups in the Blazing Sun Starfield smiled.

A deep, resonant voice rang out:

"Lin Qi's strength is greater than we imagined. He actually concealed the Law of Lightning and only revealed it now!"

"The eruption of the Law of Thunder caught Lan off guard."

"He is able to make good use of fleeting moments, which allows him to make up for the gap in techniques and secret manuals."

"He is clearly the stronger one!"

"A truly exciting and realistic battle!"

"Most importantly, we have finally won against the Netherworld Starfield!"

……

Above the athletes' plaza, some were joyful while others were sorrowful.

Even Tusa, who looked like a savage, couldn't remain calm and shouted:

"How can this be?"

"How could Lan possibly lose?"

"They can't even tell the real body?"

"Why not just attack together, three of them?"

"Ah~"

Tusa's face turned ugly, not only because Lan had lost, but also because he had been thoroughly humiliated.

He had previously confidently stated that Lynch couldn't win, but the other side actually won.

Xi Yuan looked at Tusa and smiled:

"It seems that Lin Qi from our star field is still the better one!"

"It's a pity I didn't bet anything with you earlier?"

"Otherwise, I might have made a fortune!"

The Xuan Yi Star Region Director also laughed:
"Lin Qi is truly surprising; he's been hiding his strength very well. I wonder if he can win the next round!"

……

In the contestant plaza, Yao Yu, dressed in a red robe, looked at the lamenting contestants from the Youming Star Region, and then at the excited contestants from his own star region.

He sighed inwardly, realizing he hadn't expected this outcome.

He was eliminated, while Lin Qi actually advanced.

Doesn't this imply that he is inferior to Lin Qi?
He shook his head; compared to Monno, Lan's strength was considerably weaker.

If it were me, I could definitely defeat Lan.

He felt he wasn't very lucky!
However, Lin Qi's strength still impressed him.

This left him with mixed feelings.

……

"Brother Qi, you're awesome!"

When Lin Qi was teleported back, he was greeted with Jiang Tao's praise as always.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "We all thought you were going to lose, but then we realized it's not over yet."

"Perhaps we can turn defeat into victory!"

"Just as I expected, Qi-ge, you actually won!"

Sun Sheng sighed:
"Lin Qi, you've been hiding your abilities too well! You've even comprehended the Law of Thunder!"

Lin Qi explained with a smile, "We didn't need it before, but we're saving it for a crucial moment. It might have a miraculous effect!"

"I never expected it would come in so handy now!"

Li Tianxing nodded: "Few people can withstand your sudden outburst."

"But now everyone knows what you've done."

"The next round won't be so easy!"
