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

Chapter 846 Points Race! (Seeking monthly votes)

Lin Qi looked at his opponent this time, raised an eyebrow, and was quite surprised.

"It's actually Ge Long!"

Ge Long's imposing figure appeared out of thin air, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.

He was wearing a purple armor, and upon closer inspection, his body was exceptionally robust with broad shoulders.

His arms were like cannon barrels, thick and hard.

He was over four meters tall, with muscles sculpted like giant stones, and exuded a powerful aura.

Unlike others, he had a pair of horns on his head and a purple dragon tail like a giant python.

His eyes were imposing, radiating an aura of arrogance and dominance.

This is Ge Long, a star-domain level genius with the special physique of a giant dragon.

It is said that his dragon body is of the lightning attribute, and he may have the bloodline power of the Thunder Prison Ancient Dragon within him.

According to human history records, in a distant era, when the human race was still weak.

Some beings, by sheer chance, have drunk the blood of top-tier dragon beings.

Most of them died from their bodies exploding, while others experienced changes in their bloodline.

They possessed some of the talents of the dragon race.

And these bloodline powers were even passed down to their descendants.

This will ensure that their descendants will produce star-level geniuses every so often.

Not only does it possess immense physical strength, but it also has an extremely strong affinity for the laws of nature.

They are all extremely powerful groups among humans.

Ge Long, who resembled a humanoid dragon, was someone Lin Qi knew.

They met 263 years ago on the training ground, where they could have fought, but Kate beat them to it.

In the end, the battle was not won.

On the contrary, Qin Ling fought him and was defeated by him with his powerful physical strength.

Later, Lin Qi focused on his cultivation and never went to the martial arts arena, let alone had any battles.

I didn't expect that we would still be in this situation.

Over these 263 years, not only has he made progress, but Ge Long has also made progress.

He was originally ranked 150th in the original tower, but now, if he remembers correctly, he has risen to 99th.

Their actual combat strength is even stronger.

"Haha, Lynch, we meet again."

"clang!"

Clad in purple armor, Ge Long clashed his fists together, producing a metallic clang, and laughed heartily:

"Lin Qi, I never expected this match to be between the two of us."

"We also want to fight you."

"Judging from your previous battles, your physical strength is far superior to that of others."

"I wonder whose is stronger, mine or my dragon body?"

Lin Qi smiled excitedly after hearing this and said:
"We happen to want to fight you too."

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

[The battle has officially begun!]

……

As soon as the Protoss announced the start, the atmosphere on the arena instantly changed, with a tense atmosphere enveloping every corner.

"what!!"

The burly Ge Long let out a deafening roar, his voice like a dragon's howl, creating a massive sonic boom.

In an ordinary city, a single roar could rupture the eardrums of countless ordinary people, causing them to lose their hearing.

Ge Long roared unrestrainedly, swinging his arms and unleashing his fist techniques, releasing purple lightning patterns from his body.

Violent lightning crackled around his body, and lightning patterns spread across his gauntlets.

He wore a pair of black metal boxing gloves that covered every corner of his fists, radiating a cold metallic luster.

Thunderous energy enveloped every part of his fist, and every finger seemed to contain boundless power.

He doesn't repair weapons, he only practices fist techniques, and his weapons are even his gauntlets, which help him unleash greater power.

His fists could break knives and blades.

"Lin Qi, come and fight!!"

Ge Long roared and shot out like a giant dragon, a violent lightning domain spreading from his body.

His explosive power was astonishing; he burst forth in a straight line and appeared in front of Lin Qi in the blink of an eye.

"Buzz!"

Lin Qi sensed the Law of Thunder in the air, and he also mobilized the power of both laws.

Facing the charging Ge Long, he directly condensed hundreds of thousands of purple-gold spear qi.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

Facing the incoming spear energy, Ge Long laughed loudly:
"This spear's power can't harm me."

Ge Long swung his fist and unleashed a powerful punch, instantly forming a giant lightning fist aura that clashed with countless spear auras.

"Boom!"

In an instant, he unleashed over a thousand punches, the violent fist energy blasting forth.

The spear energy clashed with the fist energy, creating a deafening explosion that sent an energy storm spreading outwards.

During this process, his body seemed to be covered by layers of solidified internal energy, and the spear energy he shot out was also strongly defended.

"That's really awesome!!"

Ge Long laughed loudly, his whole body seemingly becoming a weapon, his fists, feet, and tail all capable of launching attacks, his tail whipping out with the power to shatter the spear's energy.

Like a weapon of war, it completely blocked Lin Qi's spear energy.

At the same time, it can continue to launch attacks.

"What a powerful physical body!"

Lin Qi sighed inwardly, this was the first time he had seen a body second only to his own in strength.

Even with his previous Golden Body, he was probably only slightly stronger in terms of pure physical strength.

Such a genius is indeed strong enough, and that's what he wanted.

Thinking of this, he suddenly swung his spear, and terrifying physical power began to be unleashed.

"Whoosh!!"

The body's Qi and blood surged like the Yellow River, muscles bulged and veins stood out.

He raised his spear high, and the Heaven-Splitting Qi and Thunder Tribulation covered the entire spear like serpents.

It crashed down like a falling planet, shaking the space and unleashing a terrifying gale!

"Well done!"

Ge Long's eyes lit up, and he seemed to burst into flames. The lightning power around his body became increasingly violent, and he suddenly swung his fist.

They engaged in a head-on clash with Lynch's large black gun.

"clang!"

The gun and the fist collided violently in an instant, and the ear-piercing sound was clearly audible to everyone in the audience.

The pure clash of forces caused cracks to appear in the ground beneath their feet.

Their impact was so great that even the hard ground could not withstand it.

At the moment of impact, Ge Long was secretly alarmed:

"What a powerful force!"

"Is this Lin Qi's strength? He's truly extraordinary."

He then became excited again, and his aura even grew stronger.

He continued to swing his fists, lunging forward to engage in close combat with Lin Qi.

"Clang clang clang!!"

The two clashed several times in a short period of time. Ge Long became more and more courageous as he fought, and the power of his blood and qi became more and more intense.

Their combat strength is also getting stronger and stronger.

In the audience, someone sighed:

“Ge Long is no ordinary star-domain level genius; his combat talent should not be underestimated.”

"His understanding of the laws may be average, but in battle, he is able to utilize the laws and his physical strength to unleash 120% of his combat power."

"Furthermore, he possesses the bloodline of the dragon race, which allows him to cultivate special combat techniques."

"To unleash even greater combat power."

"So Ge Long loves fighting the most; his combat strength is higher than his ranking."

"If Lin Qi is too careless, he is very likely to lose."

……

On the other side, as the battle had lasted for more than an hour, the other battles also came to an end one after another.

Qin Ling, who had been teleported back to the audience seats, nodded as he watched the match:
“Ge Long’s physical attributes are indeed extraordinary. His physical strength is extremely terrifying, as if the body of a giant dragon is compressed into his body.”

"Each attack felt like it could destroy the world."

"My attack was directly shattered in the face of his attack."

Lin Xiao smiled and said:

"However, I still don't think he can beat my brother."

"To defeat my brother, you must win with an overwhelming advantage."

"Otherwise, they will all be defeated by my brother in the end."

"Right now, Ge Long has only shown his powerful combat strength, but he hasn't gained the upper hand. I feel like my brother is about to unleash his full power."

Monno also spoke up:

"Everyone knows that Ge Long is physically strong, but Lin Qi is no weaker, and may even be stronger."

"It seems that Ge Long is going to lose now; he has been beaten so badly that he vomited blood."

"Lin Qi has already exerted his strength. He is not only physically strong, but also has higher martial arts skills."

"From all aspects, Lynch is the stronger one."

The group's opinions were surprisingly unanimous: Lin Qi had no chance of losing.

……

On the spacious arena.

Lynch and the burly Ge Long clashed violently, and the battle had reached a fever pitch.

He wielded the black spear with wide, sweeping movements, the spear tip trembling as he unleashed his full power, unleashing pure, unadulterated force.

Space tremors occurred, and cracks began to appear on the ground.

"Clang clang clang!!"

In the clashes, Ge Long began to retreat steadily, and each collision made his face turn ugly.

"Puff!!"

Blood gushed from his mouth, the violent lightning power around him was shattered, and cracks began to appear on his gauntlets.

"how come?"

Ge Long spat out blood, his expression one of disbelief. He felt his arms ache and were in excruciating pain, while also experiencing the illusion of being electrocuted. His mind and body became sluggish.

"Da da da!!"

His four-meter-tall frame felt heavy and he couldn't help but stumble backward. He only ever felt this way when facing a senior brother who was much stronger than him.

This shows that Lynch's physical abilities are stronger than his.

"laugh!"

Lin Qi thrust out his spear and asked:

"Ge Long, is this all the strength you have?"

"This battle should end now."

After he finished speaking, his aura surged again, and his already formidable combat power increased once more.

The Immortal True Meaning made him stronger with each battle, and his combat power skyrocketed.

Even with Ge Long's immense strength, he was beaten until he kept vomiting blood.

Lin Qi suddenly mobilized the power of the Metal and Thunder Laws, and activated the [Golden Eyes].

Seizing Ge Long's weakness, the spear tore through the air and pierced out with a roar. A spiraling spear wheel appeared, and mysterious golden runes appeared on the spear, infusing it with the power of the laws.

Killer move—Star Mark!
"call out!"

Like a shooting star streaking across the sky, Ge Long felt a flash of golden cold light before his eyes, and killing intent enveloped him.

"Pfft~"

Its sharpness was fully revealed; the spear tip pierced Ge Long's neck, severing his head, which flew off.

Thick, fresh blood gushed out like a torrent.

"Oh!"

Ge Long's body fell to the ground and vanished into nothingness.

[Battle over! Linqi's team wins and advances to the points tournament!]

……

Above the arena, the Protoss announced the final result.

[Your battle with the formidable Ge Long has given you new insights into the Law of Thunder, improving your movement technique "Thunder Escape Diagram" by 1%]

[Agility: Rank 6 85% → Rank 6 86%]

Lin Qi smiled with satisfaction.

Ge Long fought for more than two hours, and he did gain something from the battle.

Increased agility by 1%.
With improved combat strength, the probability of obtaining a spot has become even greater.

……

Ge Long was teleported back to the audience.

"Whoo~"

He let out a heavy sigh and exclaimed:
"I never imagined that there would be someone in the three realms of the universe with a physical ability stronger than mine."

My friend exclaimed in surprise:

"It's not just better than you, it's far better than you."

Ge Long had to admit this as well, and said:

"With Lin Qi's abilities, I really think he has a good chance of getting one of the spots."

"Anyone who can defeat me, Ge Long, is a force to be reckoned with."

……

"call out!"

Lin Qi was also teleported back to the audience seats, where he heard congratulations from the crowd.

Guteau laughed and said, "Brother Qi, with your current strength, there's a high probability you'll get a spot in the points competition."

"Even someone as strong as Ge Long was defeated by you."

Lin Qi looked at Qin Ling and said, "Brother Qin, congratulations on successfully advancing to the points competition."

Qin Ling laughed and said, "This time, the opponent is Kate. She is indeed very strong, but she is only a galaxy-level genius. It is not difficult to defeat her."

“We have quite a connection with King Tianmang; we each eliminated his disciple and his children.”

"King Tianmang is probably furious."

Everyone smiled upon hearing this.

Just then, Tishie was also teleported back, and the opponents she was matched with were also very strong.

It took her a lot of effort to defeat her opponent.

Fortunately, she also successfully advanced to the points competition.

Monno then spoke with a wry smile:

"Congratulations on advancing to the qualifying rounds. It was my fault for dragging you down and getting eliminated."

Pan Kai comforted him:
"Mono, you're already very strong. 94th place isn't strong enough?"

"Then aren't we galaxy-level geniuses who were eliminated early on even more useless?"

Guta laughed:
"Our team is indeed strong this year, with three players making it to the qualifying rounds."

"Next, 47 people will compete for 9 spots, and everyone has a chance."

Meanwhile, the other matches also came to an end one after another.

The final 47 contestants have all been determined.

The Protoss, clad in golden robes, also projected himself and began to announce to the audience:

"Dear members, the preliminary rounds have now officially ended."

"Let's congratulate the 47 players who will advance to the points-based competition."

"drop!"

With a wave of his hand, the Protoss revealed the figures of 47 players.

"Bah bang bang!!"

Enthusiastic applause also rang out from the audience.

The beings of the five realms of the universe above also began to communicate, especially Lei Zun and Yan Zun, who received the most congratulations.

The Heavenly King's expression was the most unpleasant.

For him, the most painful scene was watching the disciple of someone he disliked enter the points competition.

He would be so happy if he could get another spot.

The celestial spirit in the sky continued to speak:

"In the upcoming points competition, in accordance with the competition rules and for the sake of fairness, the nine strongest players will be selected."

"The 47 players will compete against each other's 46 players."

"You will earn 1 point for each win, and no points for a draw or loss."

"A total of 1081 matches will be played until the end of the points-based tournament. The players will be ranked according to their points and win rate, and the nine players with the highest win rate will qualify for the core team."

"At the same time, you will receive 50 cultivation points for each member you defeat."

After the Protoss finished explaining the rules, the audience began to discuss them animatedly.

The four realms of the universe are all familiar with point-based competitions.

"The qualifying rounds are here again, and they're the most exciting part of the qualifying tournament."

"To ensure absolute fairness, each player must play a match against every other member."

"It also shows the overall strength. Only the person with the highest win rate can prove that they are the strongest."

"I wonder who will be the strongest this year?"

The new members were also discussing it extensively:

"This is completely different from the previous matches. There is no room for luck. Even if you win by chance, it is impossible to get a spot if you cannot beat other players."

"It's very fair. You take them down one by one, and even if you lose, you'll accept it wholeheartedly."

"However, we prefer his rules. Winning one earns 50 cultivation points."

"If we can win all the rounds, wouldn't we get 2350 million cultivation points? Adding that to the points from the previous 8 rounds, that would be 2700 million cultivation points."

"This is an astonishing sum of money. I wonder when I will be able to accumulate so many cultivation points."

"I'm so envious I'm drooling."

……

Lin Qi's eyes lit up in the audience.

What attracted him most was the cultivation points. With 2700 million cultivation points, he bought new cultivation techniques, secret methods, and even manuals.

It's enough for his cultivation.

So he needs to win a few more games.

Moreover, the rules are completely different from those of other competitions.

If the previous rules were followed, with 47 players, he would only need to play five or six matches to finish the series through a continuous matchmaking system.

But now it requires a full 46 matches, with each opponent having to be played once.

He likes this rule.

He was confident he could beat most of them and secure one of the spots.

Moreover, continuously fighting against masters is also very effective in honing his martial arts skills.

Qin Ling said:

"I hope that if the three of us face off, none of us will hold back."

"Win as many games as you can."

"Every victory is crucial."

Lynch and Tish nodded; their training time was too short, and they had to give it their all.

If you have the mindset of letting the ball go easy on someone, you might regret it later.

Even if you get a spot, if it's obtained through unfair means, the outcome will be disastrous.

While everyone was still discussing, the celestial spirit in the sky also spoke up and announced:

"Fellow members, the match schedule has been released. I hereby declare the points-based tournament officially open!"

As she finished announcing, a dazzling planet appeared in her hand.

"Bang!!"

Like a cosmic explosion, the planet exploded, transforming into a giant battle table in everyone's sight, containing a total of 1081 matches.

Each player's name, along with their match against another player, is listed above.

All eyes turned to them.

Lynch also saw his name; his opponents from the 46 matches were listed above.

Of the 1081 matches, it was his turn in the very first one.

Moreover, his opponent was no ordinary opponent; he was a top-tier expert.

[First Match of the Standings: Lynch vs. Yu Kong]

……

The others' expressions changed slightly upon seeing their opponent's name.

Lin Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "Is the first match this exciting?"

"It's actually Yu Kong! He's ranked 15th in the Primal Tower."

"He is also a star-domain level genius, and his true strength may rank in the top ten."

Qin Ling smiled and said:
"Lin Qi, let's get off to a great start!"

……
