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

Chapter 844 Passing Six Rounds in a Row! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
While Lynch was observing the others.

Tishie, standing behind him, was also observing Lynch. She could clearly sense Lynch's domineering aura, surrounded by the power of the laws of metal and lightning.

It gave her a strong sense of threat!
Just how strong is Lynch now?

Tissy was curious about Lynch's strength. For 263 years, she had been cultivating desperately, and had even consumed a lot of Ice Heart Elixir.

My understanding of the laws of water and space has greatly improved.

Martial arts skills improve every so often.

She felt she was already very strong and wanted to compete for a spot on the core team.

But she felt uncertain when facing Lin Qi!

But it's different with Qinling; she feels she can control him.

The combination of the laws of water and space is undoubtedly stronger than the power of a single law.

Therefore, the ranking of the original towers does not necessarily represent their strength.

Therefore, she felt that she was stronger than Qinling.

If they meet in the qualifiers, I will definitely be the winner.

Guteau surveyed the entire training ground, looking at each arriving member, and exclaimed:
"This qualifying round is packed with top players!"

"It feels even more nerve-wracking than the Deep Space Genius Tournament; I feel like I could lose at any moment!"

"I saw Glenn and Kate."

"However, they are only ranked around 100th, and they are probably no match for you, Lin Qi, now!"

"The strongest members are all ranked in the top 38 of the original tower."

"I remember there were about 20 of them who were Star Domain level geniuses. That's a really large number of experts."

Lynch nodded. Sixty-three years later, seven more members had made it to the ninth floor of the Primal Tower.

Among them are 20 star-level geniuses!

18 galaxy-level geniuses!

Galaxy-level geniuses have cultivated for thousands of years, while star-domain-level geniuses have cultivated for at most two or three thousand years.

It's unlikely they'll go any further; they'll likely choose to break through directly to the fourth realm of the universe.

"All members!!"

Just as the start time was approaching, a figure appeared out of thin air in the sky.

She was dressed in a magnificent gold robe, with delicate features and a unique temperament.

It is the intelligent core of the Primordial Holy Land—the Protoss!
The Celestial Spirit smiled and said:

"Welcome, everyone!"

"Today, we will hold a core member qualification battle in the training ground."

"A total of 6018 members of the third realm of the universe participated, of which 18 members chose to abstain, bringing the final number to exactly 6000."

"According to the rules, there will be three spots for the core member qualification competition each year."

"However, for this year's qualifying rounds, we've expanded from three spots to nine!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

Many of the four realms of the universe showed expressions of surprise!
"Nine slots, this is unprecedented!"

“In previous years, there were three spots available, and in some cases, four or five.”

"Six more spots have been added at once, that's amazing!"

"Do I have a chance too?"

Some people felt that things were going well again and couldn't help but get excited, thinking that they too could get a spot.

Others offered a disheartening perspective:
"Increasing the number of participants is a must. This year, a total of 38 people made it to the ninth floor of the Primal Tower!"

"Otherwise, three spots are definitely not enough, and many geniuses won't be able to get a spot, which would be such a pity!"

"It's impossible to make them wait for five thousand years."

"As for the others, they're just there to add to the show!"

On Lin Qi's side, everyone's faces also showed joy.

Lin Xiao exclaimed in delight, "Brother, there are six more spots now, making it nine. Your chances of getting a spot have increased significantly!"

Qinling, Tisi, and Monno all smiled after hearing this.

If there were still only three spots, their chances of winning would be too low, but with nine spots, it's a different story.

They have more hope now!
Lin Qi nodded secretly. If there were nine spots, his chances of getting one would be 99%.

Otherwise, three spots are indeed too few.

He looked around, and the eyes of many members of the third realm of the universe lit up.

Meanwhile, the beings of the five realms of the universe sitting high in the sky, especially Yan Zun and Lei Zun, exchanged a glance and smiled.

The increase in the number of places is largely thanks to their efforts.

If the number isn't increased, it will be very difficult for their disciples to get a spot!
After all, the strength of some geniuses is truly terrifying!

……

Meanwhile, in the sky, the Protoss clad in golden robes continued to explain the rules of the qualifying battle:

"This year's qualifying tournament, like before, is divided into preliminary rounds and points-based rounds!"

"In the upcoming preliminary rounds, a total of 6000 players will be matched up and compete in rounds to determine the 47 strongest players who will advance to the points-based tournament."

"The entire competition will continue until the end."

The audience nodded; they nod, now able to fight continuously for months without needing to sleep.

There is really no need for rest.

In the virtual world, even if you die, you can be resurrected in an instant.

The exquisitely beautiful Star Spirit unleashed her powerful aura and then proclaimed in a loud voice:
"I hereby declare the first round of the qualifying tournament officially open!!"

"6000 members of the third realm of the universe are entering the preliminary round arena!"

"Boooooooh!!"

The Protoss had barely finished speaking.

In the audience, members of the three realms of the universe began to transform into blue pillars of light and disappear from their seats, being teleported to the arena!

Lin Qi looked around at everyone and said:
"Let's get ready to go in too."

"I hope everyone can make it to the second round!"

Everyone nodded, their eyes hardening with determination!
"Boooooooh!!"

The next moment, they all turned into blue pillars of light and disappeared from the spot.

Lin Qi himself was the same; his figure vanished, and everything before his eyes changed!
[Lynch members, please select your combat equipment!]

The Protoss's voice echoed in the air.

Then a panel pops up in front of him, allowing him to select combat equipment.

Lin Qi glanced at the options and chose the Dark Obsidian Armor style, along with a heavy spear as his weapon, which would allow him to perfectly unleash his physical strength!
"Buzz!"

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on a huge arena.

The ground is the same as before, made of hard alloy material, but it is much more spacious, with a length and width of 10 kilometers, allowing for unrestricted combat.

[First Round of Qualifiers, Match 15: Lynch vs. Ovie!]

……

The next instant, a stocky man appeared on the ground opposite the arena.

He was muscular but only 1.7 meters tall. He wore black armor, held a small warhammer, and exuded a strong and heavy aura!
This is Ovi, with a big beard, looking like a middle-aged blacksmith.

He looked at Lin Qi and said:

"You're Lin Qi?"

"It only took four hundred years to reach the ninth floor of the Primal Tower?"

Lin Qi nodded calmly and said, "It's me!"

Ovi swung his thick arm and swung his black warhammer, saying:

"Then let me, Ovi, see your strength."

Lin Qi looked at the other person. He didn't recognize them. There were 6000 people in the Three Realms of the Universe, but he only remembered a few hundred; he didn't recognize the rest at all.

"The fact that he doesn't recognize them means that the other party isn't very strong."

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

[The battle has officially begun!]

The Protoss's voice rang out above the arena!

"Roar!!!"

Ovi roared, and yellowish-brown lines appeared on his exposed skin.

The earthen-yellow domain instantly expanded outwards, causing the gravity in the air to increase dozens of times.

The gravity on the arena was already tens of thousands of times stronger than normal, and now, with the support of the Earth Domain, it has instantly reached a million times stronger!

"Buzz!!"

At the same time, Lin Qi also released his domain power, a purple-gold domain power that clashed with Ovi's domain.

It instantly negated the effects of gravity.

"Lin Qi, take this!!"

Ovi stepped forward, leaped high into the air, and the warhammer in his hand began to expand. The earthen-yellow secret runes mobilized his energy and condensed into a giant warhammer a hundred meters in size.

The secret runes flowed, like a giant hammer shattering space, the heavy hammer blows resembling an endless continent crashing down.

Lin Qi chuckled inwardly; this Ovi was quite capable.

Knowing his own strength, he strikes with deadly moves from the very first move, showing great decisiveness.

"But that's all for now."

Lin Qi's eyes flashed with a purple-gold light as he locked onto Ovi in ​​the air, and he thrust out his black spear with fierce force.

He could roughly judge the opponent's strength by the intensity of the opponent's earth domain!
It's around 60% at level 6, which is far behind my own level.

"laugh!"

With a fierce thrust of the Sky-Splitting Force, the Spiral Spear Qi instantly condensed, tearing through the air. The hundred-meter-long spear qi was highly compressed and shot out like golden threads.

"boom!!"

The attacks from both sides collided in the air, but the outcome was decided in an instant.

The hundred-meter-long hammer was pierced through by the golden light as if it were made of paper, and then struck Ovi behind the hammer again!
"Pfft~"

His armor shattered, his body was pierced by golden light, and blood spurted out and dispersed in the wind.

"Bang!" Finally, Ovi's body and his inner energy slammed heavily onto the ground.

He said with an incredulous expression:

"I lost so quickly?"

Before the words were even finished, they vanished into nothingness.

[Battle over! Lynch's team wins and advances to the second round!]

The Protoss quickly announced the results.

Lin Qi, on the other hand, put away his black spear and ended the battle without moving an inch, without any difficulty whatsoever.

His figure also disappeared from the spot.

……

In the audience
Lynch returned to his original spot, but no one else had returned yet.

Looking at the Protoss's position, a large blue screen has been projected, showing live broadcasts of 3000 battles.

In some of the live streams, the battle had already ended, and the screen quickly disappeared.

In just a short while, dozens of people had finished fighting.

"Buzz!"

The next second, two figures appeared; it was Lin Xiao and Lin Zhaoyue.

Lin Xiao said with a wry smile, "Brother, we lost."

"Our opponents are too strong; we are no match for them at all."

Lin Zhaoyue also lowered her head, looking dejected.

Lin Qi comforted him:
"You've only been cultivating for a short time, while your opponents are veterans who have been cultivating for thousands of years. It's normal for you to lose."

"Don't let a single defeat affect your mindset."

Hearing Lin Qi say that, the two of them recovered.

Meanwhile, the other members also returned one after another.

The burly Guteau laughed, "Easily passed the first round."

"It is said that as long as you reach the second round, you can get the Heavenly Points as a reward."

Lin Qi looked around and found that only the Star Domain level geniuses had successfully passed the first round.

Two or three others were lucky enough to be matched with younger members.

The first round lasted for several hours before it ended.

A Star Spirit, clad in magnificent golden robes, appeared and spoke in a loud voice:

"First of all, congratulations to the three thousand members who have successfully passed the first round!"

"Those who pass the first round will receive 30 cultivation points, even if they are eliminated later!"

"The contestants who successfully advance to the third round will receive 50 cultivation points."

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled.

Although several hundred thousand cultivation points isn't a lot, it's not a complete waste.

Some members, however, are hoping that they will earn more cultivation points in the later rounds.

Lin Qi was among them, and he was already silently calculating how many cultivation points he could gain if he could make it to the points competition.

He was simply too poor right now; the tenth volumes of the two great secret techniques for the future were extremely expensive.

At the same time, he also needs to purchase the cultivation techniques of the four realms of the universe. If his spear technique and movement technique break through to the seventh level, he will also need to purchase new secret manuals.

The prices are not cheap; they require a lot of cultivation points.

Therefore, he needs to make a fortune in the qualifying rounds.

The Protoss continued, announcing:

"I hereby declare the second round of the qualifiers officially open!"

The 3000 members who had passed through were transformed into blue pillars of light and teleported to the arena.

[Match 36: Lynch vs. Nora!]

Lin Qi reappeared on the ring, and at the same time his opponent appeared a kilometer away. She was a woman wearing purple armor and with a lithe figure!

Lin Qi still didn't recognize him, but his aura was much stronger than that of Ovi in ​​the previous match!
The battle soon begins.

Nora wielded her battle sword, wielding the law of thunder with the speed of lightning.

Her cultivation level was quickly determined by [Golden Eyes] to be around 65% of the sixth rank.

Facing Lin Qi was like showing off one's skills before an expert; he unleashed 800 illusory lightning bolts in one move.
"Zizzi!!"

The phantom of lightning condensed into a spear of lightning and shot out like a volley of arrows, piercing through Nora.

"Pfft~"

Blood spurted wildly, and Nora's figure vanished into nothingness in the air.

[Battle over! Lynch's team wins and advances to the third round!]

Following the Protoss announcement, Lynch returned to the audience and waited quietly.

The second round will take longer.

Of the 3000 members, only 1500 will advance to the third round.

The star-level geniuses of Lin Qi's generation were also eliminated one after another.

In the end, only he, Qin Ling, Tixi, Mengnuo, Bai Lan, and Yaoyu successfully advanced, while everyone else was eliminated.

Bai Lan and Yao Yu were able to advance because of their physical advantages as star-domain level geniuses.

"Dear members, those who successfully advance to the fourth round will receive 100 million cultivation points!"

"I hereby declare the fourth round officially open!"

With the Protoss's announcement, the fourth round began immediately.

Moreover, the reward points reached 100 million.

"Hey~"

On the arena, Lin Qi appeared. His opponent this time was a handsome man with silver hair.

He looked at Lin Qi and smiled:

"It seems I'm not very lucky and won't be able to make it to the fourth round."

Lin Qi recognized the other person; he was from the Yuhua Star System in the Lieyang Star Region and was Yu Miaozhen's senior. They had met more than two hundred years ago when they returned to the Lieyang Star Region together.

Their strength at that time was even greater than mine.

Now it's just something that can be easily eliminated.

"Boohoo!!"

Countless throwing knives, under the control of the silver-haired man, shot through the air, while the arena was enveloped by gusts of wind.

Faced with the attack, Lin Qi did not move. He once again created 800 lightning phantoms and released a lightning spear.

"Zizzi!!"

The raging Thunder Spear suppressed the gale, instantly transforming into a Thunder Prison, with lightning power filling every corner.

They used the same trick to defeat their opponent.

[Battle over! Lynch's team wins and advances to the fourth round!]

After hearing the Celestial Spirit's voice, Lin Qi nodded and was teleported back to the audience seats.

Meanwhile, the silver-haired man, after being teleported back, sighed with lingering fear:

“It’s really strong.”

"As expected of a top genius, he has become so powerful in just a few hundred years. Now I can't even withstand one of his moves."

The person next to him also sighed:
"Of course, he's someone who's made it to the ninth floor of the Primal Tower."

"The geniuses who compete for the nine spots are beyond the reach of ordinary members like us."

……

Lynch then went through the fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds in a row.

Round 4: 1500 to 750, those who advance will receive a reward of 1.5 million cultivation points.

Round 5: 750 to 375, those who advance will receive a reward of 2 million cultivation points.

Round 6: 375 close to 188, those who advance will receive 2.5 million cultivation points.

In this round, since there are 375 people, it is not possible to make a round number, so one person will fight against the intelligent life form from the Holy Land.

The combat power of the intelligent life forms will be controlled at the level of the 8th floor of the original tower. Defeating them will allow you to advance to the next round, while losing will result in elimination.

Coincidentally, Lin Qi was matched with an intelligent life form.

"Buzz!!"

Lin Qi was enveloped in purple-gold energy, and the surrounding space was a golden domain.

"boom"

Above the arena, a hundred-meter-tall golden pillar materialized and then crashed down with a deafening roar.

The opponent was a burly man who wielded the Law of Fire, unleashing countless waves of fire and golden pillars that obliterated everything in their path.

With a deafening roar, they were blasted into the earth.

"Pfft~"

Then a spiraling golden spear pierced through the body of the intelligent life form, blood spurted out, and the intelligent life form immediately turned into nothingness and vanished.

[Battle over! Lynch's team wins and advances to the seventh round!]

Lin Qi's image was teleported back to the audience seats, where only 188 names remained on the big screen!
That means all the contestants in the seventh round!

None of the members who made it to the seventh round were weak.

Lin Xiao, standing beside him, laughed:
"Brother, you're already ranked 188th now. In two more rounds, you'll be able to enter the points-based competition."

Guttau sighed:

"Now only Qi Ge, Qin Ling, Ti Xi, and Meng Nuo are left."

"You guys need to step up your game."

Monno said, "Things are about to get tough. All 188 people are geniuses who have reached the 8th floor of the Primal Tower, and there are also a large number of Star Domain level geniuses."

Only a few people can pass.

"Even I might not be able to pass."

……
