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

Chapter 870 Buying Marksmanship

Chapter 870 Buying Marksmanship (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Teacher Lei Zunxingyu spoke again:

"By the way, you will begin preparing to break through to the seventh level of martial arts techniques."

"But breaking through to the seventh level of martial arts skills is not so easy."

"Each breakthrough in a skill requires a significant amount of time to overcome the bottleneck."

"Then it's best to accumulate a deep understanding."

"Practicing only one spear technique is far from enough."

"If you have enough cultivation points, you can exchange them for several more gun technique manuals."

"To deepen the accumulation of marksmanship skills."

“Every gun technique manual has its own unique features.”

"Many geniuses do this: they draw inferences from one instance to another, accumulate knowledge and experience, and eventually achieve great things."

Lin Qi nodded after hearing this and said, "I had the same idea."

Then Lei Zun continued:

"Now that we have this rare opportunity, Lin Qi, you can ask me any questions you may have about your understanding of the Law of Thunder."

Lin Qi nodded. He had been cultivating for 50 years, but he had never attended his teacher's martial arts demonstrations, and he did indeed have many doubts in his heart.

Now is the perfect time to let the teacher answer my questions.

Throughout the process, the third senior sister, Zhong He, would occasionally speak up and share her insights.

The different teaching style of his teacher Lei Zun also greatly benefited Lin Qi.

The entire exchange lasted for a month before it ended.

Lin Qi finally left.

He drank cup after cup of hot tea.

In the end, only Zhong He and Lei Zun remained in the living room.

Zhong He, dressed in a purple-red robe, exclaimed:

"As expected of the first place in the qualifying battle, junior brother's talent is truly amazing."

"His understanding of the Law of Lightning is now not far from that of a seventh-tier skill."

"How old is he? Maybe over 500 years old."

"When I had this realization, it was already more than two thousand years ago."

"The gap is really big."

"And he cultivates the power of both the metal and lightning laws."

"The gap between geniuses is still too large."

Lei Zun Xing Yu also nodded and said:

"Perhaps he might break through to the fifth realm of the universe even earlier than you."

Zhong He immediately shook his head after hearing this and said:
"That's impossible."

"Refine your skills and break through to the seventh level, while preparing for the next breakthrough."

"It would be impossible to break through in less than several thousand years."

"I feel that it will take at most two thousand years to break through."

"Teacher, you underestimate me."

Lei Zun took a sip of hot tea, savoring the sweet aftertaste on his tongue, and smiled:

"It's not that I'm underestimating you."

"And your junior brother is no ordinary person."

"You will know in the future."

"You have to work harder."

"Don't let Lin Qi surpass you."

Upon hearing this, Zhong He, dressed in a purple-red robe, had a glint of purple light in his eyes and confidently declared:

"Don't worry, I will definitely break through to the fifth realm of the universe!"

……

Tianhai Residence

Lynch returns from his teacher's estate.

My first thought is to recall my conversations with my teacher Lei Zun and my third senior sister Zhong He.

"I really should learn more marksmanship techniques."

“Draw on the essence of other secret manuals.”

"Just like with sixth-level spear techniques, if you want to comprehend the laws, you need to watch more spear techniques."

Lin Qi opened his eyes, a realization dawned on him, and many thoughts began to form in his mind.

"Back when we were on Earth, we were so poor that we could only read Earth's own marksmanship manuals."

"But none of them are particularly exquisite."

"And now, I can say I have some money."

Thinking of this, Lin Qi immediately accessed the software of the Primordial Holy Land and searched for gun technique manuals.

He remembered that when he bought the "Rending Universe Gun Manual", he only spent 5500 cultivation points.

It was a huge sum of money at the time, but now it doesn't seem like much.

With that in mind, he immediately began searching.

Breaking Boundaries Spear Manual, Annihilation Spear Manual, Illusory Gold Spear Manual, Heavenly Ruins Spear Manual...

Lynch examined the gun catalogs in each door.

Each and every one of them possessed a five-star level of marksmanship.

Some cultivate and master the Law of Metal in isolation, while others combine it with other laws, such as the Law of Space or the Law of Wind…

However, he bought them all.

Around 5000 cultivation points is not much for him.

Besides mastering the spear technique based on the Law of Metal, he also needs to purchase the spear manual based on the Law of Thunder.

"The Spear Manual of Awakening of Insects", "The Spear Manual of Five Thunders", "The Spear Manual of Ten Thousand Thunder Calamities"...

Furthermore, there is a spear technique combined with the Law of Metal—the "Shattering Thunder Prison Spear Manual."

Lin Qi bought it immediately.

In the final settlement, 30 cultivation points had been spent.

He felt it was worth it.

In the past, he cultivated so much, but he couldn't digest it all.

It is different now.

With his current level of understanding of the laws, practicing other spear techniques would not affect his cultivation.

After finishing his shopping, he logged into the task module of the official website again.

[Welcome to the mission module, Lynch members.]

[Since you have broken through to the fourth realm of the universe, our mission module will be changed.]

A series of messages popped up, and the entire page changed.

The variety of tasks has increased.

Lin Qi began to browse through it carefully.

In addition to performing missions in the secret realm as usual.

They can also take up positions at the Deep Space Institute and travel to other star systems to carry out missions.

Some of these tasks are assigned to management departments, while others involve monitoring certain members.

Others are tasked with protecting newly developed human territories, while still others are tasked with hunting down powerful wanted criminals.

Some of them are assassins from other races, and they are incredibly powerful.

If you're not one of the nine supreme beings, hunting them down is incredibly difficult.

The rewards from the Holy Land are also quite substantial.

Therefore, some members of the four realms of the universe will also take on such missions.

There are all sorts of tasks available, so there's no worry about not being able to get any.

Moreover, the difficulty of the task has increased.

"The difficulty has increased by two levels."

Looking at the difficulty levels, Lin Qi realized that even in the third realm of the universe, the highest difficulty level for a mission was only level three.

The highest level is now five.

Level 4 difficulty carries an extremely high risk of death; many members from the nine supreme powers have perished in it.

The fifth level of difficulty, also known as hell level difficulty, is best avoided by those who are not at the star domain level.

For galaxy-level geniuses, unless they are at the peak of the fourth realm of the universe, going there would mean certain death.

Even among star-level geniuses, there have been instances of death when they enter it.

Over the years, quite a few have died.

However, the risk of death is high, but the potential rewards are also very high.

"Should we accept the Level 5 mission?"

Lin Qi fell into deep thought. It was indeed too risky for him to undertake a level 5 mission so soon after breaking through.

Let's hold things steady for now and go carry out the Level 4 task.

With that in mind, he opened the Level 4 quest.

A large number of tasks appeared before my eyes, numbering in the hundreds.

【Mission 1: Thunder Prison Secret Realm】

[Mission Objective: Proceed to the Thunder Prison Secret Realm to collect 1000 Dark Thunder Stones. You may encounter the inhabitants of the Thunder Mountain Secret Realm, the Heavenly Thunder Clan...]

……

【Task Two: Wind Abyss Secret Realm】

[Mission Objective: Proceed to the Wind Abyss Secret Realm to collect 500 Divine Wind Crystals and defeat 10000 Wind Beasts from the Fourth Realm of the Universe...]

……

【Mission Three: The Secret Realm of the Underground Palace】

[Mission Objective: Proceed to the underground palace to collect 500 standard units of Earth Gold and defeat 2000 native creatures from the four realms of the universe...]

……

Lin Qi looked at them one by one.

All of them include collection missions and hunting missions. Completing just one of them counts as completing the mission and will earn you a large amount of cultivation points.

Each one easily has 500 million cultivation points.

Furthermore, the other rare and precious materials collected inside can be sold to the Holy Land, and a considerable amount of cultivation points can be obtained from them.

That's how it appears on the surface.

Earning points may seem easy, but in reality, it's quite difficult, even extremely difficult.

Within the secret realms where Level 4 missions are located, each one is larger than the last, and the spaces are more solid.

The virtual network of the universe will be affected to some extent in the secret realm.

It has a special area that can isolate the network, making it impossible to access the internet.

He died inside, and no one knew.

Not only must you be wary of the native inhabitants of the secret realm, but you must also be wary of your own people.

Of course, these are all secondary.

The most dangerous thing is that it contains the Five Realms of the Universe.

And there were more than just one or two; the number was quite large.

Although they are all beings of the fifth realm of the universe.

However, he was capable enough to kill a genius from one of the nine supreme powers.

Only a very few geniuses are able to contend with beings at the fifth level of the universe.

One is fine, but what if it's two attacking, or a large number of beings from the four realms of the universe attacking?

The level of danger will increase significantly.

Therefore, extreme caution is required.

Upon seeing this, Lin Qi nodded inwardly, also wanting to enter and test his own strength.

“Let’s do them one by one, starting with the secret realms within the Tianyuan Star Region.”

With that in mind, Lin Qi immediately began making his selections.

The first place they chose was a secret realm within the Tianyuan Star Region.

The first three missions happened to be in the Tianyuan Star Region. He accepted them all.

Anyway, these tasks have no time limit; as long as you submit them at any time, they are considered completed.

So he prepared to set off.

He accepted the mission, and now he needs the protection of beings from the Five Realms of the Universe.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the second senior brother, Horton, who will once again take on the task of protecting him.

According to him, his lifespan increased dramatically after breaking through the fifth realm of the universe.

Breaking through to the sixth realm of the universe is basically impossible.

So I don't feel a great sense of urgency, and I'm quite free right now.

Even for the next few thousand years, there will be plenty of free time.

This is perfect for protecting him, Lin Qi.

……

A few days later, at the Tianhai Residence training ground.

A huge, triangular-shaped black spaceship was parked in the training ground.

The tall and imposing second senior brother, Horton, entered with Lin Qi, who was wearing dark obsidian armor.

"Om!!"

The fighter jet roared into action and sped off towards the outside of the Primordial Holy Land.

Inside the cabin, Lin Qi looked at the large screen projected in front of him and said:
"Second Senior Brother, our first destination this time is the Wind Abyss Secret Realm, as it's the closest."

"Next is the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, and finally the Underground Palace Secret Realm."

Second Senior Brother Horton nodded and said:

"It's all up to you."

"I'm only responsible for protecting you on the way to the secret realm. Once inside, you'll have to rely on yourself."

"Otherwise, if I follow you, there will be no training effect."

Then he looked at the entire spaceship and said:

"Now that you have broken through to the fourth realm of the universe, you have more time to earn cultivation points."

"If we become wealthy and earn more cultivation points, we can modify the Tai Xing ship."

"After all, what you're buying is just a standard-issue spaceship. Many of the weapons, equipment, and hull structure are made of the most basic metals."

"You can modify the Taixing."

"Many members modify their purchased spaceships, making them even more powerful and expensive than the Xuankun."

"That's how it is on my own spaceship."

"You can do that, too."

"The prerequisite is that you have enough cultivation points."

Lin Qi nodded after hearing this, and he could do so when he earned enough cultivation points.

He's still too poor.

A moment later, he sat cross-legged on the spot and entered the primordial world.

He still had some time before heading to the Wind Abyss Secret Realm, so he could practice the newly purchased spear technique manual.

The Heavenly Sea Residence in the Primordial World.

Before Lin Qi appeared a series of marksmanship manuals, all of which he had purchased.

He opened one of the books—"The Boundary-Breaking Gun Manual"

He then began browsing quickly.

Both being Five Elements level spear techniques, they are only slightly less sophisticated than the "Rending Universe Spear Manual".

This also applies the five fundamental principles of the Law of Metal.

The techniques for applying the principles of mobilization caught Lin Qi's eye.

As expected of a Five Elements-level secret manual, it is indeed exquisite.

Although both involve activating the Law of Metal, each has its own unique aspects.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a Five Elements-level secret manual.

Lin Qi shook his head inwardly. If he had known, he could have bought these manuals before the qualifying rounds.

Maybe it can even improve my skills.

He quickly glanced at the document, and a moment later, he stood up, a large spear appearing in his hand.

They began practicing the "Boundary-Breaking Spear Manual".

Experience the techniques for generating power and discover a brand-new way to apply the Law of Metal.

It might even be useful in combat.

In particular, its techniques for single-target shooting damage are truly impressive.

If he can absorb its essence, his combat skills will also be improved.

Even the manipulation of the laws of energy can enhance his understanding of those laws.

It's never a bad thing to read more.

So he immersed himself in cultivation again.

……

One month later,
A vortex in the eye of the storm in the universe, enveloped by a massive base.

A black, triangular spaceship crashed into it.

Enter the Wind Abyss Secret Realm.

This is a world shrouded in wind, with only a few areas spared from the ravages of fierce winds.

"Hoohoo!!"

Looking out, there is a vast expanse of land, rocky ravines, and steep cliffs.

Only in certain areas are there traces of plants.

"boom!!"

A figure landed on the ground.

"Is this the Wind Abyss Secret Realm?"

Lin Qi, clad in dark obsidian armor, stood on the ground, surrounded by dust and sand whipped up by the wind.

"Hoohoo!!"

Lin Qi reached out and felt the raging wind around him.

"The laws of wind in the air are more active than ever before."

"It would be a good place for those who cultivate the Law of Wind."

"Only in such an environment can creatures like the Wind Beast be born."

Lin Qi shook his head and sighed. There were also humans in the entire Wind Abyss Secret Realm, but their numbers were relatively small.

In comparison, the Wind Beast is a far more powerful being.

It has little command and blindly devours lives.

"roar~"

Suddenly, a series of loud roars rang out, and in the distance, the sky was covered by giant birds that blotted out the sun.

They have enormous wings; some resemble eagles, some are like ordinary pterosaurs, some are like peregrine falcons, and some are even eagles.

They move incredibly fast, surrounded by a whirlwind, blending seamlessly into their surroundings.

Not only were they unaffected, but they also benefited from the strong winds.

They locked onto Lin Qi and the Star Devouring Beast Xiaotian.

When Lin Qi saw them, he immediately smiled.

One of his tasks was to hunt wind beasts, and their arrival was just in time.

"boom!!"

A terrifying power emanated from his body, with a powerful aura surrounding him to resist the effects of the gale.

The dual domains were unleashed, and the raging wind was instantly suppressed.

"Buzz!!"

As numerous wind beasts manipulated the laws of wind, a super tornado was formed and swept in.

Upon seeing this, Lin Qi immediately took action, unleashing a surge of violent lightning power centered on him.

"boom!!"

As the earth slammed into him, the gale was blasted away, and he instantly condensed a purple-gold spiraling spear aura, which he then unleashed!

"Puff!!"

Under the impact of the spear's energy, all the wind beasts were easily pierced through and blasted to death.

After Lin Qi killed them, they were no longer stored in the spatial bracelet, but in the source core world.

The Source Core World is larger and can hold more items.

Furthermore, the space is sturdy, making it easier to store and retrieve items.

After collecting the corpse, he continued hunting other wind beasts.

He needs to hunt down 10000 wind beasts from the four realms of the universe, which is a huge undertaking.

In addition, he also needs to collect Divine Wind Crystals.

This thing can be sold directly to the Primordial Holy Land.

It is also of great benefit to those who cultivate the Law of Wind.

In particular, the evolution of the source core world can elevate one's realm.

"Xiaotian, let's begin the search for the Divine Wind Crystal."

"Roar!"

The Star-Devouring Beast Xiaotian nodded, devoured the two wind beasts, and then began searching for the Divine Wind Crystal.

……

one year later
"Hoohoo!"

On a cliff, amidst a scene of a raging hurricane, devastating the world.

"Violent!!"

In the sky, Lin Qi, clad in dark obsidian armor, brandished a black spear and fought against several giant eagles with bodies thousands of meters long.

Endless cyan wind blades slashed out.

Bang! Bang!

The hundreds-meter-long cliff, struck by the wind blades, shattered and collapsed instantly, with boulders crashing down the cliff.

"laugh!"

The moment Lin Qi thrust out his purple-gold spear, a golden spear wheel swirled around him, and a dazzling purple-gold light pierced through heaven and earth.

"boom!!"

At the same time, space trembled, and the whole world seemed to be destroyed, while the giant eagle, which was thousands of meters long, was easily pierced through.

"puff!"

"Violent!!"

Amidst the giant eagle's mournful cry, blood gushed from its body like a waterfall.

Lin Qi thrust out a second shot, completely extinguishing the opponent's remaining chance of survival.

Finally, the giant eagle's corpse was retrieved into this Source Core World.

"Wow!!"

At the same time, an even more majestic bird call rang out.

Lin Qi's expression changed slightly.

"Xiaotian, let's go!"

"Roar!"

Lin Qi immediately activated his movement technique, "Thunder Escape Diagram," which streaked across the sky like a purple streak of light.

The Star-Devouring Beast Xiaotian followed behind.
