Chapter 107: Blood Qi Value Skyrockets (Request Monthly Votes)

In the blink of an eye, three more hours passed. Outside the martial arts hall, the cold wind howled, and the sky had grown completely dark.

In Room B123, the temperature remained at 25 degrees. Lin Qi kept his eyes tightly shut, drenched in sweat, unaware that his martial arts uniform was soaked through.

He continued visualizing, and in his mind, a towering, massive Golden Gang Tiger took shape.

One stroke after another, it gradually became clearer.

It was as if a Golden Gang Tiger were being nurtured within him until it was fully born.

He lost all sense of time; he did not know how long had passed.

35,997, 35,998, 35,999

36,000 strokes!

With the final stroke completed, the entire Golden Gang Tiger was perfectly formed, visualized in one seamless flow.

Lin Qi smiled—he had finally succeeded!

“Roar~~”

Instantly, the Golden Gang Tiger moved, tilted its head back, and let out a thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth.

Its eyes blazed wide, like twin burning golden flames, with a golden lightning-shaped mark on its forehead.

It shifted its body, moving through the void, stirring up a fierce wind.

It seemed alive—its aura fierce and domineering, radiating an unchallengeable majesty.

The next instant, Lin Qi sensed countless tiny light points appearing all around his body.

This time, he sensed them clearly—they were source energy particles.

Source energy: a mysterious form of energy.

It had not existed on the old Blue Planet; it spilled onto the Blue Planet after the arrival of the Spatial Gates.

It was the origin of the extraordinary, the foundation of martial cultivation.

It permeated every corner of every world.

Before the emergence of Evolution Methods, the hardest step was “sensing” source energy particles.

But now, as long as visualization was completed, the “sensing” step could be automatically bypassed, for source energy particles would naturally draw near.

“Roar~”

The Golden Gang Tiger roared toward the heavens, opened its massive jaws, and without wind, summoned a vortex that sucked in the countless light points surrounding it.

“Huh~”

Lin Qi quickly adjusted his breathing, feeling every pore of his body open as thin streams of energy slowly entered through his skin.

Waves of icy energy, like air-conditioning wind, gathered and flowed into his body.

“Sss~”

Lin Qi shuddered all over—a strange, delightful sensation swept through him as countless source energy particles flooded his body.

His body erupted with intense hunger, like a starving ghost that had not eaten for three days and nights, accepting everything without refusal.

The source energy surging into his body was wildly absorbed.

Lin Qi had felt this sensation only before when using Blue Marrow Serum.

As vast amounts of source energy poured in, it was absorbed and filtered into his own energy, triggering changes throughout his body—his skin, muscles, tendons, bones, and organs all evolved, growing stronger continuously.

“After absorbing source energy, the body undergoes comprehensive evolution—comprehensive means slow. I must guide it to refine my major tendons, accelerating the rise of my blood qi value; everything else is secondary.”

Lin Qi gently guided the source energy into his fascia, beginning full-scale refinement.

He had always possessed the Steel Tendon talent; his major tendons were like powerful springs, giving him a head start over others.

Now, after being forged by source energy, he realized there was still immense room for growth.

The fascia stretched, expanded, and underwent constant refinement, while the surrounding muscles evolved and strengthened under its pull.

“Successfully practicing a source energy technique for the first time brings tremendous physical enhancement. Most people gain about 0.8 in blood qi value—treasure this opportunity,” said the white-robed elder in the video.

Lin Qi could no longer hear him.

He was fully immersed in cultivation—this feeling was simply too exhilarating.

New messages kept popping up on his panel.

【You successfully visualized the Golden Gang Tiger and practiced a source energy technique for the first time. Blood qi value +0.1】

【Your body absorbed a large amount of source energy. Blood qi value +0.1】

【Your muscles underwent evolution. Blood qi value +0.1】

……

After an unknown duration, Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of intense golden light passed through them.

The Golden Gang Tiger in his consciousness dissolved completely into nothingness.

He returned to reality.

He slowly stood up; every organ in his body felt full, as if they had all been fed.

Lin Qi looked at the panel: 【First-time practice of source energy technique: major fascia refined. Blood qi value +1.5】

【Blood qi value: 13.01 → 14.51】

“Huh~”

Lin Qi’s eyes lit up—he was astonished.

His blood qi value had jumped by 1.5 on his first practice—0.7 higher than the average person.

That was equivalent to rising from 8.5 to 9.99, a feat that normally took over two months.

Yet he achieved it in one or two hours.

And in just a few days, he had raised his blood qi value by 4.51—an astonishing pace.

“Li Zhou’s blood qi value is certainly lower than mine—he’s been left far behind,” Lin Qi clenched his fist, feeling power surge through him.

“Blood qi value exceeding 10 marks the Second Realm. When it reaches 40, you enter the Third Realm. At 100, you become a Fourth Realm martial artist,” continued the white-robed elder.

Lin Qi pondered silently: 40 blood qi value was four times higher than the First Realm’s 10.

!

Without a source energy technique, he had no idea when he’d ever break through.

The next instant, the white-robed elder vanished, and the instructional video began playing.

Lin Qi felt the power surging within him; his eyes grew even brighter, and the world before him became clearer.

His vision and hearing had improved; he could even sense source energy in the air.

When he exerted his muscles, endless strength flowed from his major tendons.

This feeling was excellent!

Suddenly, Lin Qi frowned—a wave of discomfort and pain surged through his body.

His mind instantly understood.

“Source energy is brutal. I absorbed too much at once—it’s surging wildly inside me. This pain won’t cause damage.”

“But if I had tried practicing source energy techniques while still in the First Realm, the burden on my body would have been too great.”

“Also, source energy techniques cannot be practiced for long each day—four hours is optimal.”

Lin Qi murmured to himself, feeling his gains today had been enormous.

The visualization of the Golden Gang Tiger had been faster than he had imagined.

“Xiao Chan, how long has it been?”

“Master, you have trained for eight hours.”

“Eight hours—from adjusting my heartbeat and clearing distractions to successful visualization—I’ve likely surpassed most people.”

Lin Qi was extremely satisfied.

He had reviewed the data: ordinary martial artists needed one to two weeks; geniuses needed less than a week.

Even greater geniuses might take two or three days.

He needed no more than one day—one day was enough.

He immediately checked his panel.

【Name: Lin Qi (17)】

【Profession: Martial Artist】

【Template: Yang Jian, the Second Lord True Prince】

【Fusion Level: 10%】

【Talent: Enhanced Stomach, Dragon Spirit Tiger Might, Steel Tendons Iron Bones】

【Blood Qi Value: 14.51】

【Spear Technique: Second Stage 19%】

【Body Movement: Second Stage 6%】

……

Lin Qi looked at the data on his panel—it had improved dramatically since before winter break.

His mood soared, and he unconsciously unleashed his aura.

His entire aura grew even more dominant.

“At this rate, I’ll easily make the top ten of Cang Province.”

Lin Qi murmured to himself, becoming even more confident.
