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

Chapter 718 The Method of Core Condensation! (Seeking monthly votes)
Lin Qi quickly opened the message.

[Congratulations to Lin Qi from the Blue Star Civilization on winning the championship of the 2666.99th Deep Space Genius Competition!]

[According to the rules of the Deep Space Genius Competition, you will receive a reward of 170 million Deep Space Coins from the Deep Space Academy. We hope you will continue your efforts and become even stronger!]

[Deep Space Coins +17000 million!]

……

Lin Qi's eyes lit up when he saw the reward credited to his account!
The rewards for the Deep Space Genius Competition have arrived!

In the third round, he received 170 million, and with the rewards from the first two rounds, he has now received more than 200 million Deep Space Coins!

With over 170 million Deep Space Coins, after paying off a 50 million loan, he still had 120 million left.

One Source Energy Crystal is worth 100 million Deep Space Coins.

He can now buy a full 120, enough for him to break through to the second realm of the universe!
Of course, it's possible that not so many are needed!

"drop!"

Just as Lin Qi was pondering how to use the money, he received another mass message from the Red Emperor.

This is a small group of only 8 people, namely the 7 who entered the supreme power, plus the Crimson Emperor.

[Red Emperor: Tomorrow morning at 8 AM, enter my virtual universe. Supervisor Xiyuan has something very important to tell you; everyone must be there.]

[God of War: Received!]

[Li Tianxing: Received +1]

[Jiang Miaoyin: +1]

……

After seeing the message, Lin Qi replied with "Received".

"Manager Xiyuan contacted the seven of us, presumably about joining the nine supreme powers."

"There isn't much information about the nine supreme powers online; it seems to be blocked."

"It just so happens that I know nothing about the nine major powers, but Manager Xiyuan is different!"

"He is the head of the Blazing Sun Starfield, a super strong expert at the fifth level of the universe, a truly important figure!"

"What he knows will be very useful to us."

Lin Qi nodded secretly, calculating the time in his mind, while continuing to eat!
……

1 month 7 day,
Temperatures are dropping across the entire Xia Kingdom, but the excitement surrounding the Deep Space Genius Competition continues to spread.

The Deep Space Genius Competition is still being discussed online, and the air is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"If the Golden Emperor can rise to power, our Blue Star's future will only get better and better!"

"May the Golden Emperor be safe and sound forever!"

People online offered their blessings.

Meanwhile, in Residence No. 5, Lin Qi, sitting cross-legged in the martial arts room, turned on his virtual bracelet and logged into the cosmic virtual network.

……

In a classically styled courtyard, birds sing, flowers bloom, trees grow in abundance, and plants flourish!
In one of the attics, several figures kept appearing.

Soon, eight figures appeared on the spacious stone table.

Lin Qi, dressed in a black robe, also logged on and looked around; everyone there was familiar.

The God of War, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, Jiang Tao, Jiang Miaoyin, plus myself.

All seven individuals qualified to join the supreme power have arrived!

In addition, the Crimson Emperor, Tu Lan, and Director Xi Yuan, who had already arrived, were also present!
"Master, Inspector, and Lord Director of Xiyuan!"

Lin Qi greeted him.

The Crimson Emperor laughed and said, "Please sit down!"

Tu Lan and Supervisor Xi Yuan nodded with smiles.

In front of each person was a cup of steaming tea.

Lin Qi picked up the bottle and took a small sip.

At this moment, Tu Lan, dressed in a blue uniform, smiled and looked at everyone, saying:
"I never imagined that your Blue Star civilization was so powerful."

"Seven people have actually joined the supreme power. Your future status will all surpass mine."

The Crimson Emperor laughed and said, "Inspector Tu Lan, you must be joking!"

“I know you are the young lady of the Tujia Group in the Tianyuan Star Region, and your grandfather is a fifth-level being in the universe.”

Tu Lan shook her head and said, "My grandfather had five children, and my father was just one of the most ordinary ones."

Lin Qi and the others nodded secretly; they had previously guessed that Tu Lan had an extraordinary background.
Now it seems he was indeed extraordinary; Grandpa was actually a being at the fifth level of the universe.

The Crimson Emperor continued speaking:

"I called everyone here today because Supervisor Xiyuan has something to tell you all!!"

Everyone looked at Manager Xiyuan.

This is the head of the Blazing Sun Starfield, a super strong expert at the fifth level of the universe.

Although these people have joined the supreme power, they have the hope of breaking through to the fifth realm of the universe in the future.

But that's future potential, which hasn't been realized yet.

As for Supervisor Xiyuan, he has already realized his potential and become a powerful figure at the fifth level of the universe.

Manager Xiyuan has a refined and scholarly demeanor, with a warm smile on his face that makes people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze.

He then spoke:

"I've come to talk to you all today mainly to explain some things."

"Everyone should have received their rewards from the Deep Space Institute by now, right?"

"This is a sum of money, enough for everyone to purchase a large number of source energy crystals for cultivation!"

"The resources purchased with this money are enough for everyone to break through to the second realm of the universe!"

Everyone nodded; among them, at least 5000 million Deep Space Coins would be awarded!
They are already at the peak of the Sky-Soaring Realm; all they need to do is break through.

"Buzz!!"

Just as everyone was pondering, the next second, seven blue crystals appeared in Manager Xiyuan's hand.

They floated in the air and landed in front of the seven people respectively.

Xi Yuan said, "After each Deep Space Genius Tournament, all contestants will choose to break through."

"The entry requirement for the supreme power is at least the second level of the universe realm."

"You need to quickly break through to the second level of the Universe Realm to enhance your strength!"

"This is a legacy crystal, containing 24 breakthrough methods that can be used by any genius."

"Whether it's awakening one ability, two abilities, or three abilities."

"Everyone can find a breakthrough and explosive power that suits them!"

"Inside is the method for condensing the source core, just like the soul core. Once condensation is complete, one can break through to the second realm of the universe."

"And among them, the 24 methods of core condensation are the most exquisite techniques."

"It's much better than what you bought at the Lieyang Dao Academy, and it can guarantee a 99.99% success rate in achieving a breakthrough."

"Furthermore, only geniuses like you who have joined the supreme power can enjoy these 24 methods of core condensation."

Upon hearing this, the seven people's eyes lit up.

They were just about to break through and planned to purchase the method of core condensation.

I was originally planning to spend a lot of money.

I never expected to be able to enjoy this for free, and it's even a higher quality cultivation method.

Everyone looked at the inheritance crystal in their hands and immediately became reluctant to put it down.

Seeing this, Xi Yuan continued to speak:

"Now your Blue Star is famous, especially since Lin Qi won the Deep Space Genius Competition and enjoyed the honor!"

"But it also puts you in danger."

"Among all the races in the universe, there are hundreds that are hostile to our human race!"

"The demon race and the insect race are two of them. They are also two of the top races and the main enemies."

"They frequently arrange assassinations of our human geniuses, trying to prematurely eliminate our fresh blood!"

"Now, Lynch, you are not only the champion of the Deep Space Genius Competition, but you also possess a special physique and have defeated Monroe!"

"Other races will pay more attention to you."

"Most importantly, the Earth you are on is too weak."

"In terms of defensive capabilities, they are completely incomparable to hegemonic forces!"

“Other star-domain level geniuses are protected by super strong individuals at the fourth and fifth levels of the universe!”

"Blue Star doesn't even have a martial artist at the third level of the universe!"

"Planetary defense platforms alone are useless. Now, a large number of planetary spaceships are entering Earth, all claiming to be here to do business."

"They can easily sneak in!"

"This environment is far too dangerous!"

"I estimate that some assassins are already on their way."

"Therefore, you must break through to the second realm of the universe as soon as possible. Once you condense the source core, your physical body will undergo a significant transformation due to radiation, and your combat power will be greatly enhanced."

"With your talent, once you break through, you will all possess astonishing combat power in the second realm of the universe."

"Even a martial artist at the third level of the universe has the ability to resist!"

Sun Sheng frowned after hearing this and said:
"It seems that a breakthrough is inevitable."

"If someone at the second level of the universe were to attack me, it would be quite dangerous if I didn't break through."

Lin Qi nodded; he knew these assassins were most likely after him.

Therefore, he is the one who most needs a breakthrough.

Xi Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, there's no need to be too pessimistic."

"The Blazing Sun Star Region has already dispatched people to protect you."

"You all know the person who came this time. He is Yao Chen, the dean of the Lieyang Academy."

Jiang Tao's eyes lit up: "It's actually Dean Yao Chen! The Blazing Sun Star Region is really going all out!"

"They actually sent out such an important figure!"

Lin Qi's eyes lit up. If it was Dean Yao Chen, his safety might really be guaranteed.

Xi Yuan laughed and said, "With the top-tier spaceships in the Lieyang Star Region, it would take at least a month to reach Blue Star from Lieyang Star."

"You just need to stay at home during this period and not go out. Just focus on your cultivation and breakthrough."

"As long as we hold out until Yao Chen arrives, those assassins will naturally back down."

"Even if they still take action, they won't succeed."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

Xi Yuan finally spoke, "There's one last thing!"

"That means joining one of the nine supreme powers!"

"Everyone has passed the spiritual trial and, in addition to the three holy lands, can choose to join one of the six secondary forces."

"This is a brief report on the three holy lands and six secondary powers!" "You can take a quick look at it. Someone will contact you after you complete your breakthrough."

"Choose a faction that suits you and join it."

"Don't overthink it. As long as you join, you'll get better resources and be able to pass on your skills!"

"The most important thing right now is to break through to the second level of the Universe Realm!"

After he finished explaining the resources, another document appeared in his hand, and then it was distributed among the seven people.

The Crimson Emperor then said, "Today's meeting is now adjourned."

"Meeting adjourned!"

"Lin Qi, stay behind!"

The others nodded and turned to log off.

In the end, only Lin Qi, Chi Di, Tu Lan, and Xi Yuan remained.

Manager Xiyuan smiled and said:

"Lin Qi, actually these assassins are all after you."

“The others are just galaxy-level geniuses, killing them is pointless, but you are different.”

"The demon race and the insect race may spend huge sums of money to hire races with assassination capabilities."

"These races are masters of assassination; they are impossible to guard against!"

You need to be careful!

"Also, you have the right to join one of the three holy lands. Once you break through to the second level of the universe, we can discuss in detail which holy land to join."

Lin Qi nodded and said, "I'll be careful!"

The Crimson Emperor also spoke up: "The planetary defense platform will pay close attention to your Royal Garden residential complex."

"I will be notified immediately once a battle breaks out."

"The Royal View Garden residential complex has also installed Level 3 laser cannons!"

"Anyone below the third level of the Universe Realm can be killed!"

"Even a martial artist at the third level of the universe can hold out for a while!"

Inspector Tulan also spoke up:

"Of course, the most crucial thing is to wait for Yaochen to arrive!"

"It's a race against time now. Will the assassins arrive first, or will Dean Yaochen arrive first!"

"However, it seems that Dean Yaochen will arrive even sooner!"

"After all, other civilizations, even if they make arrangements, still have to consider the distance!"

"After all, Blue Star's only advantage is that it is located in a lost star system, which is too far away from other star systems and star fields."

"We just need to hold out until Dean Yaochen arrives."

Lin Qi nodded and said, "I understand!"

The Crimson Emperor spoke last:

"By the way, Lin Qi, if you want to break through to the second realm of the universe, you'd better buy more source energy crystals."

"For those of us with special physical constitutions, breaking through to the second realm of the universe requires a considerable amount of source energy."

"We need to prepare at least 50!"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "I understand!"

……

A moment later, Lin Qi left.

Supervisor Xiyuan said, "The next period of time will be a very dangerous one!"

"If we can weather this, we will be very safe for the next few hundred or even several thousand years!"

"However, I believe your planet Earth is blessed with great fortune and will surely overcome this period."

The Crimson Emperor nodded and said, "I believe Lin will be fine!"

Tu Lan shook her head and said, "It seems that Blue Star has been quite unsettled lately!"

"I need to be careful too!"

……

In the air, on a spacious training ground.

Lin Qi appeared out of thin air, holding a blue document and a blue inheritance crystal in his hand.

"After purchasing the source energy crystals, I stayed at home and focused on my cultivation."

"I will never leave the house until I break through to the second level of the Universe Realm!"

He looked at the two items in his hand, and the blue file disappeared into his personal center.

Let's see when he breaks through.

Now he needed to focus on breaking through, so he touched the blue crystal to his forehead.

The next second, the blue crystal seeped into my brain like liquid.

"Om!!"

Lin Qi's forehead veins bulged, his eyes widened, and he felt his brain throbbing as a massive amount of information flooded into it.

Throughout the process, my brain also experienced a throbbing pain and dizziness.

after an hour
Lin Qi opened his eyes and felt that his brain was filled with many more memories.

They all contain elements inherited from the crystal.

He didn't look at it; instead, he opened the War House website and started shopping.

"The curator said that at least 50 Source Energy Crystals are needed, which is 5000 million Deep Space Coins!"

"My Golden Body is much stronger and may require more source energy, so I'm buying more just in case."

Lin Qi quickly made a decision and chose to order 80 Source Energy Crystals.

【drop! 】

[Payment successful! You have paid 8000 million Deep Space Coins for the attack!]

[Due to the extremely valuable resources you purchased, please proceed to the Crimson Sky Martial Arts Hall Headquarters...!]

Lin Qi glanced at his balance; he only had 4000 million left.

8000 million disappeared in an instant!
He couldn't help but shake his head; money really didn't last long.

With that thought in mind, he logged off, his figure disappearing from the training ground.

……

In the backyard of house number 5.

"Xiaotian, let's go!"

Lin Qi led the Star-Devouring Beast Xiaotian, which resembled a golden-haired creature. The opponent had already reached the ninth rank and possessed considerable combat power.

After a period of time, he digested the essence of blood and flesh in his body, and his aura became stronger, which also enabled him to protect himself well.

"boom!!"

The black Falcon fighter jet, carrying a man and a beast, soared into the sky.

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

In the owner's office on the top floor, Lin Qi took the black metal briefcase from the Red Emperor.

The Crimson Emperor patted Lin Qi on the shoulder and laughed:

"Lin Qi, here are your 80 Source Energy Crystals and two Flowing Silver Guardians!"

"I hope to hear good news about your breakthrough when I see you next time!"

"The second realm of the universe is a true breakthrough to a higher level, a complete transformation!"

"The low, middle, and high realms I have cultivated to date are all minor realms within the universe realm."

"Only by condensing the source core and undergoing a complete transformation can the body evolve once again."

"Your power will become incredibly strong!"

"Your vitality will also be greatly enhanced, and even a severed arm can regenerate!"

"Even if your heart is pierced, you won't die immediately!"

"The chances of survival are also greater when facing assassination attempts!"

Lin Qi's eyes lit up after hearing this: "I see!"

"It seems that breaking through to the second realm of the universe is now an urgent matter!"

A moment later, Lin Qi left, and the Crimson Emperor returned to his seat. He took out the metal box, opened it, and found that it still contained source energy crystals.

It's just that there are far fewer now!
……

In Residence No. 5, Tianhai City.

In the living room, Lin Qi gave his parents some instructions:
"Mom and Dad, I'm going into seclusion for the next month or so!"

"I won't go out unless I successfully break through."

"By the way, you all need to take care of yourselves too!"

"Especially the safety of Xiaoxiao and Zhaoyue!"

"I've bought two more Silver Guardians; that should be enough to protect you."

Lin Zhen also said with a serious expression:

"Don't worry, we'll be careful!"

"Brother, you need to break through to the next level soon!"

Lin Xiao said earnestly.

Lin Qi patted his younger siblings on the head and smiled, "Don't worry, I should be able to come out of seclusion by the Spring Festival!"

Finally, watched by the four people, he went upstairs and entered the martial arts room.

Lin Qi sat cross-legged and took out a black metal briefcase from his spatial bracelet.

When you open it, you'll find 80 golden energy crystals embedded inside.

"Everything is ready, it's time for me to begin my breakthrough!"

Lin Qi took out three source energy crystals, swallowed them, and put one in his mouth.

"Buzz!!"

A dazzling golden light erupted from his body, the energy crystal was pierced by the force, and in the next instant, the vast energy flowed out like water being released from a dam.

"Whoo~"

Lin Qi involuntarily began to absorb source energy.

The hungry cells in the body absorbed the nutrients frantically, as if they possessed an unstoppable capacity for transformation.

As long as there is a source of energy, it can keep getting stronger.

Meanwhile, in the consciousness space, Lin Qi also began to peruse the method of core condensation in his inherited memories.
