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

Chapter 717 The Shadow Assassin Clan! (Seeking monthly votes)

The Athletes' Plaza, in the Lieyang Starfield area.

The Deep Space Genius Competition has officially ended, and Lin Qi has been teleported back to the contestant area.

Before him, Jiang Tao, Jiang Miaoyin, and others gathered, their emotions running high, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at him.

"Everyone, we have lived up to expectations and successfully won the championship!"

Lynch announced with a smile.

"Brother Qi, this is too Versailles!!"

Jiang Tao patted Lin Qi on the shoulder and said excitedly.

Sun Sheng shook his head and laughed, "You really are the best at putting on a show!"

"And only you can pull it off successfully!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement after hearing this.

"Lin Qi, congratulations on winning the championship!"

Then, Yao Yu, dressed in a red robe, came over with Yao Xi, Yu Miaozhen, Samuel, and a few others, and said with a smile and a friendly attitude:
"polite!"

Yao Yu continued, reminding him, "Now that you've become the champion, you're one of the most outstanding geniuses in the entire human race."

"You've made a name for yourself in 108 star systems; you're now completely famous!"

"Now it's not just us humans who know about you!"

"Your name will be known to all races in the universe, and some will even be eyeing you covetously!"

"Many races will even attempt to assassinate you!"

"But don't worry, you're in our Blazing Sun Star Region!"

"As the overlords of the star field, our Lieyang civilization will naturally protect your safety!"

"Your protection experts are already on their way to Earth!"

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then asked:
"Thank you!"

He could already foresee that, as a super genius, he would be valued in completely different ways by other races.

It's hard to imagine how they would assassinate him!

Hopefully, the powerful individuals sent by the Blazing Sun Civilization will be of a higher cultivation level.

And thankfully, he didn't reveal his trump card, the Heavenly Eye, during the final match!

Otherwise, if it's exposed, other races might specifically target his third eye, making his chances of death even greater!
After a long period of accumulation, the divine light power in his Heavenly Eye has reached a terrifying level!

He had a strong premonition that once the divine light was released, even Monno at his peak would not be able to withstand it!

Who knows, at a crucial moment, it might be able to deliver a devastating blow to the opponent!
After giving his reminder, Yao Yu turned and left!
Meanwhile, geniuses from other star systems also arrived one after another.

Especially the star-domain level geniuses all came to congratulate him, hoping to become familiar with him, so that they might enter the same holy land in the future.

Guta, whose stature was like an iron tower, laughed:

"Lin Qi, if you have the chance to come to Manzu Mountain, I will treat you well!"

Lin Qi smiled and said, "If I have the chance, I will definitely go!"

A moment later, Pan Kai and Meng Nuo from the Tianyuan Star Region also came over.

Pan Kai, clad in a black robe, laughed:

"Congratulations, Lin Qi!"

We all underestimated you!

"I am Pan Kai. If your civilization encounters any difficulties in the Tianyuan Star Region, you can mention my name."

"By the way, let's exchange contact information so we can stay in touch in the future."

Lin Qi nodded. He had already added all the other star-domain level geniuses, as well as some other geniuses.

This includes defeated opponents such as He Yu, Zachary, and Tyne.

Some people who used to dislike him are now eager to come over and make their faces known.

He exclaimed that now that he's a champion, he's surrounded by kind people.

After adding the contact information, Monno smiled and said:
"Lin Qi, I admit defeat this time!"

"If we can enter the same holy site, then we'll have our contest!"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Next time we compete, I'll win even more easily."

Monno laughed and said, "I still hope to defeat you completely."

After a brief chat, Monno and the others all logged off.

Meanwhile, everyone on Lin Qi's Blue Star team also chose to log off.

……

Blue Star had now transformed into a joyous tsunami.

Cheers filled every country.

Especially in the Xia Kingdom, it was already evening.

Cheers could be heard in countless companies, schools, streets, and shops.

"Holy crap, they actually won! The Golden Emperor actually won!!"

"Golden Emperor is awesome!!"

Inside a restaurant, diners were watching a large projected screen while onlookers shouted.

The others joined in the shouting.

Soon, the sound echoed throughout the entire street.

This kind of thing also happened in various universities, including Lin Qi's alma mater Tianhai No. 2 Middle School, Cangqiong Martial Arts University, and Heilong Base!
Countless people cheered. Lin Qi's former acquaintances included Zhang Cheng, Dean Liu, teacher Mu Hong, senior brother Liang Tai, Li Qing, and Wang Zhixuan...

Seeing this, everyone smiled.

Showing off to those around them.

"Lin Qi, he was my student back in the day...!"

"He is my junior brother..."

……

In the Yujing Haoting residential complex, Tianhai City, at residence number 5.

In the spacious martial arts room, Lin Qi, dressed in a black martial arts uniform, slowly opened his eyes.

"it is finally over!"

"Whoo~"

Lin Qi slowly exhaled a breath of stale air!
A strong sense of exhaustion washed over me; my mind and body were completely drained.

Although he survived the series of battles against top experts, the mental and physical strain from the intense combat was several times greater than usual.

Especially in his match against Monroe, if he had been careless even for a moment, he would have been doomed to lose!

"Buzz!"

He took out a metal briefcase from his spatial bracelet, took out a tube of soul essence from it, and consumed it.

Feeling the cool air rush into my brain, my fatigue was somewhat relieved.

Then he looked at the panel.

[Your battle against the Black and White Martial God "Mono" unleashed your potential during the intense combat, giving you a new understanding of marksmanship. Marksmanship +1%]

[Your battle against the Black and White Martial God "Mono" unleashed your potential during the intense combat, giving you a new understanding of movement techniques. Movement Technique +1%]

[Gun Technique: Tier 6 13% → Tier 6 14%]

[Agility: Rank 6 11% → Rank 6 12%]

……

Lin Qi looked at the data and nodded secretly; Monroe's strength was indeed terrifying.

Under immense pressure, he gained new insights into marksmanship and movement techniques.

Their combat strength has also improved.

In the end, they still couldn't beat Mono.

However, he felt that he was already very strong.

The internal energy condensed by the cultivation method cannot compare, the secret manual cannot compare, and the martial arts skills cannot compare.

Therefore, their physical fitness is stronger.

The fact that he was able to defeat his opponent despite such a disadvantage only proves that his Golden Body and Golden Eyes talent are indeed formidable.

He compensated for its weaknesses by leveraging its strengths.

"If I can make up for these weaknesses, even just one, it will be much easier for me to defeat Monor."

Lin Qi knew that he could change his status once he entered the three holy lands.

Their combat power will also increase by leaps and bounds, and they will be able to defeat Monor more easily the next time they encounter him.

Once you defeat an opponent, they can never surpass you.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi revealed a confident smile.

He slowly got up and walked out of the martial arts room.

I went downstairs to the living room.

Several voices rang out after he came down.

"Bang bang!"

Fireworks rained down, and countless colorful confetti danced in the air.

"Brother, congratulations on becoming the champion!"

"Big brother, you're the best!"

Lin Xiao and Lin Zhaoyue, the two little ones, excitedly opened their mouths while holding the firework tubes.

Lin Qi picked up the two little ones and laughed:
“Thank you for your blessings!”

“I didn’t let you down. I said I would win the championship, and I did.”

The burly father, Lin Zhen, also burst into laughter and said:

"Xiao Qi, you really didn't let us down!"

"I knew it, you're the strongest!"

"Our Lin family is truly blessed, as our ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke, to have given birth to a genius like you!"

So many people envy our family!

"You are now the strongest genius of the entire human race, in the 108 Star Regions. Your future is limitless!"

At this point, Lin Zhen's eyes lit up, and he became increasingly excited as he spoke.

Mother Fang Huiyi also laughed and said:

"Alright, Xiaoqi, you're the champion now!"

"We should celebrate!"

"I've already told Xiao Tao and A Miao to come over and celebrate!"

Lin Qi laughed and said, "It's time to celebrate!"

Lin Xiao and Lin Zhaoyue also drooled after hearing this:
"Great! I want hot pot, fried chicken burgers, barbecue..."

"I can not wait anymore!"

Fang Huiyi smiled and said, "Yes, we'll have them all!"

Half an hour later, Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin came over to the hall to celebrate.

The seven people began to celebrate wildly.

It lasted for three hours before it ended.

Lin Qi also joined in, and after the competition ended, he was able to relax for a rare moment.

Time slowly passed.

The capital city, headquarters of the Crimson Sky Martial Arts Hall.

Inside the curator's office at the top.

"Whoosh!!"

The golden energy in the air, like strands of silk, entered the Crimson Emperor's powerful body.

He looked at the large screen in front of him, constantly reviewing various materials.

A moment later, the three energy crystals suspended in the air were completely consumed.

He slowly got up and stood by the window, from which he could overlook the entire capital.

It was already late at night, but the city was still filled with neon lights and bustling with activity.

The emergence of energy has made ordinary people on Earth more energetic.

Moreover, today is a major event for Lynch, who has become the champion. Countless people are celebrating, and the atmosphere is exceptionally lively.

"The Deep Space Genius Competition of the Sky Realm has officially ended!"

"And the Deep Space Genius Competition, which marks the second stage of the Cosmic Realm, is not far off!"

"Although I haven't reached my peak through these years of training, my combat strength is already sufficient!"

"Considering the entire duration of the competition, it will only be longer than the Sky Soaring Realm!"

"I have enough time to become stronger!"

"If Lynch can become a champion, I can't fall behind!"

"Even if we can't win the championship, entering the three holy lands shouldn't be a problem!"

After sighing for a moment, the Crimson Emperor turned and returned to his martial arts room to continue his training!
……

In the vast universe, the territory occupied by the human race is only a small part.

Beyond the human realm lie other powerful races from all the myriad races of the universe.

Their territory is close to that of humans, and wars break out constantly between them!
At this time, countless powerful races were affected by the galaxy.

On a certain planet, several terrifying demon races are communicating!

"This year's Deep Space Genius Contest is over, and the champion is Lynch, not Monroe!"

"Mono, nicknamed the Black and White Martial God, possesses the Black and White Dao Body and was once assassinated by assassins we arranged!"

"The operation ultimately failed, but he survived and possessed extraordinary potential!"

"In retrospect, it's such a pity we didn't assassinate him."

"Tianyuan Star Region is, after all, the central star region of the human race, possessing the strongest strength and defensive measures."

"Even if it's an internal traitor, killing it is extremely difficult!"

"And in this Deep Space Genius Tournament, a genius actually emerged who was able to defeat Monor and win the championship!"

"He has shown even greater potential!"

"Lin Qi, from the Blazing Sun Star Region, the Milky Way Galaxy in the Lost Galaxy System, the Solar System, the Blue Star Civilization..."

"This is a super genius from a minor civilization, possessing an extremely strong special physique, the nature of which is currently unknown..."

"According to the data, the planet he lives on does not have a very strong defense!"

"Such a genius must be eliminated in advance, otherwise he will become another powerhouse at the fifth level of the universe in the future!"

"In the war of territorial expansion, who knows how many of our people will be slaughtered!"

"Kill approved!"

Several powerful figures agreed to assassinate Lin Qi.

Another sound, like a tiger's roar, rang out:

"Now that we've reached an agreement, let's get moving!"

"The Blazing Sun Star Region has already dispatched powerful experts to Blue Star; we must speed things up!"

"They will arrive on Earth in a little over a month at the latest, and we must hurry!"

"It's not just us demons, the insectoids might also make a move!"

"Arrange for assassins from the nearest galaxy!"

Another voice came: "I know a member of the Shadow Assassin Clan, a third-level being in the Universe, who happens to be in the Triangulum Galaxy."

The others nodded in agreement.

"The Shadow Assassins are one of the most skilled assassins among all the races in the universe."

"Possessing the power to change one's appearance at will, one can easily disguise oneself as any race without being detected!"

"Even if it's a member of the Shadow Assassin Clan at the third level of the Universe Realm, there are cases of warriors at the fourth level of the Universe Realm being successfully assassinated when caught off guard."

"With him involved, Lin Qi is doomed!"

"This race only cares about money; they'll kill any race as long as you pay them enough!"

"They're a completely insane race!"

"The reason they haven't been wiped out yet is because other races need their assassination skills!"

"Inform him now and tell him to go to Earth as quickly as possible."

A terrifying being spoke up:

"I've already made contact, but he's asking for an exorbitant amount of valuable resources!"

"This is going to cost us a fortune!"

These resources have nurtured several beings at the fourth level of the universe.

Finally, a powerful being provided the conclusion:
"Promise him, as long as we can kill Lin Qi, it's all worth it!"

"But he'll have the life to take it; who knows if he'll live to spend it!"

"Give him one-third of the resources first!"

"Once Lin Qi is killed, he too will have to face the wrath of the human race!"

"Whether we can survive and obtain the remaining two-thirds of the resources is also an unknown!"

"Lin Qi's timing this time was too perfect; he's doomed!"

The group of people discussed things briefly and then quickly dispersed.

Meanwhile, other races also took action!

"Send in an inside agent to do it!"

"No, the distance is too far. It will be two months before we arrive on Earth..."

……

Triangulum region, Tran Star

This icy blue planet is 90% covered by cold winds and snow.

In a massive, technologically advanced metropolis, countless spaceships come and go in the skies above the city.

A massive energy shield protects against the ice and snow!

"Hoohoo!!"

Inside a spacious house, the heating was on, and waves of warmth enveloped the room, creating a stark contrast with the snow and ice outside!
"Buzz!"

A middle-aged man with thick hair and fair skin sat in the closed living room.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw a silver metal sphere projected in front of him.

A large number of special characters emerged.

After reading it, the middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction:

"They actually agreed!"

"They agreed to such a greedy request; it seems they are truly afraid of human geniuses!"

He projected another large blue screen, displaying a wealth of information and images, featuring a man with a stern face, dressed in black and gold armor.

"Lin Qi, a super genius from the Blue Star civilization!"

"With enough talent, even the champion of the Deep Space Genius Tournament can be defeated!"

"But it's located on a small planet with extremely weak defenses!"

"This mission was too easy for me!"

"In the past, all the missions required going to heavily defended planets, and each time I had to escape with my life!"

"The technology we need to confront is beyond the calculation of even the strongest!"

"But this time will be different; it might be my easiest mission yet."

"The only difficulty is time; I must get to Earth as quickly as possible."

"I've never killed the champion of the Deep Space Genius Tournament before."

"I really want to see what's so special about his special physique."

The middle-aged man's lips curled up into a smile.

……

Several hours later, at the Tran Star Space Port

A massive spaceship opened its hatch, and countless men and women with thick hair, dressed in tight-fitting uniforms, entered the ship.

One of the tall, handsome men entered the cabin after being scanned by the giant robot in front of the hatch.

The handsome man found his seat and sat down.

[Time's up, hatch is closed!]

[Destination: Milky Way Galaxy, Earth; Estimated duration: 30 days!!]

【…】

"Finally, we can head to Earth! I heard that Lin Qi, the champion of the Deep Space Genius Competition, is from Earth!"

"I might get to see Lin Qi on this business trip to Earth!"

People around started discussing it.

The tall man closed his eyes and began to calculate his assassination plan in his mind!

"30 days..."

……

January 6th, 2056 in the Martial Arts Calendar!
Blue Star, Residence No. 5

In the bedroom, Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the time.

It was already 6 p.m., and he had slept for a full 18 hours.

[You have consumed 60% pure Soul Essence. Your mental strength has been refined and enhanced. Mental Strength +1000]

[Mental Strength: 14.6 → 14.7]

……

Lin Qi looked at his mental strength, which was now 14.

However, the Qi and Blood value is still 99999, just a little short of 10!

Now that the Deep Space Genius Competition has ended, he no longer needs to suppress his abilities and can prepare to break through to the second realm of the universe!
Once he breaks through, his combat power can be greatly enhanced.

A moment later
After washing up, Lin Qi went to the living room.

My parents, younger brother, and younger sister are watching TV in the living room.

He came to the dinner table, and Xiao Chan served dinner while Lin Qi ate and replied to messages from acquaintances.

Many acquaintances sent him congratulatory text messages.

"drop!"

Suddenly a message popped up, and Lin Qi paused.
