Chapter 110: Terrifying Physical Attributes (Request Monthly Votes)

Tianhai No. 1 High School, a private martial arts chamber

A clean-featured man, clad in a loose white martial arts robe, wielded a silver goose-quill saber, swinging its blade.

"Huuu! Huuu!!"

Light as a swallow, his saber technique moved swift as wind, faster than lightning—in an instant, countless saber shadows filled the air, brimming with lethal intent.

Each strike sent gusts of wind surging forth.

"Pap! Pap!!"

When the saber form ended, applause echoed behind him.

"Wang Qiufeng, your saber technique has grown stronger—have you broken through to Second Stage, Lower Tier?"

A muscular man with thick, powerful arms clapped as he approached.

He was Wang Wang Qiufeng, the top student of Tianhai City, known as the Wind God.

Wang Wang Qiufeng shook his head: "Second Stage, Lower Tier—still a bit short."

He added, "Give me another half-month, and I'll break through."

The muscular man continued: "Recently, a prodigy named Lin Qi has emerged from Tianhai No. 2 High School."

"They say he slew fifteen disaster beasts in one go during the beast surge—his performance was outstanding."

"My father says he's a top-tier genius, one not to be underestimated in the future."

After hearing this, Wang Wang Qiufeng looked at his goose-quill saber and shook his head: "First there was Chen Li, now a genius like Lin Qi has risen."

"I must train harder."

"After the monthly exam, I will reclaim the top rank in Cang Province."

"Wang Qiufeng, I believe in you," the muscular man nodded.

…

Bai Lu City, a spacious martial arts chamber inside a luxurious villa.

"Dang! Dang~~"

Two figures clashed—one towering over two meters tall, his body forged like steel, muscles bulging, radiating fierce, explosive energy.

He swung a black heavy sword over one point two meters long.

"Hua!!"

Each strike carried thunderous force, as if capable of shattering all things, stirring up violent gusts.

His opponent parried with a silver great spear, struggling to resist the heavy sword's relentless assault.

"Too weak! Too weak!!" the man roared.

"Bang!!"

The heavy sword slashed down with brutal force—the opponent was flung meters away by the impact.

He slowly rose, looked at the imposing man across from him, set down his great spear, and rubbed his numb, aching arms in awe:

"Your title 'Dominating Sword' is well-earned, Chen Li—your strength is truly immense, over 1600 kilograms already, right?"

"Dang~"

Chen Li casually tossed aside the heavy sword, grabbed a sports drink, and downed it in one gulp.

His facial features were rugged and sharply defined, with a strong jawline, fierce and domineering.

He shook his head, grinned, revealing bright white teeth:

"You're wrong—I've already surpassed 1700 kilograms in punch force!"

His opponent gasped: "You've got innate godlike strength—far beyond ordinary humans."

"By the way, Chen Li!"

"Tianhai City has another prodigy—Lin Qi. He slew fifteen disaster beasts during the beast surge, just like you, and it was his first battle."

"He's only slightly weaker than you—he could become a serious rival in the future."

Chen Li didn't care.

He turned, picked up the black heavy sword, tensed his arm, his tendons straining, gathering terrifying power as he slashed down at empty air.

"Boom!!"

A piercing whistle tore through the air, followed by a violent gust.

"For me, only I surpass others."

"No one can surpass me."

"In Cang Province, I am the strongest."

"I will be the only S-class prodigy from Cang Province for Black Abyss Martial Arts Hall this year."

"My goal is the top ten nationwide."

"The others in Cang Province—Wang Wang Qiufeng, Lin Qi—I don't need to know their names."

His opponent laughed: "That's imposing. As a martial artist, you must have the confidence of being the sole sovereign."

The second day of school, Chi Qiong Martial Arts Hall

Martial Arts Chamber B123

The entire room was silent, filled with thick incense.

On the central cushion, Lin Qi sat cross-legged, back straight as a newly drawn blade about to be unsheathed.

His hands formed the Five Points Toward Heaven posture; around him, wind stirred without source, lifting the hem of his black martial arts robe.

Lin Qi himself was as still as a crystal-clear lake, not a single ripple.

"Huuu~"

In his consciousness space, the towering Jin Gang Tiger roared fiercely to the heavens, its sharp claws striking as if tearing open the sky.

Its gaping maw opened wide, sucking in endless source particles like a vacuum storm.

Lin Qi felt a cold core within his body—source particles first trickled in, like a slow-leaking faucet.

!

Then the flow accelerated, until it surged in like a burst pipe.

His body's cells had an excellent appetite—once full, they digested quickly and grew hungry again, accepting every source particle without refusal.

They devoured them wildly, filtered and transformed them into his own source energy, nourishing his body, initiating evolution and transformation.

His own genes slowly optimized.

Lin Qi guided the source energy to merge with his blood and qi, circulating through his body, refining his twelve major tendons—each connected to different body parts.

The tendons along his back, refined by the process, grew thicker and longer, like spreading steel bars.

Lin Qi savored this gradual strengthening.

【You are cultivating. Your major tendons are being refined. Blood Qi +0.2】

【All twelve major tendons strengthened. Blood Qi +0.1】

【……, Blood Qi +0.1】

……

After two hours of cultivation, Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes.

Golden light flashed in his gaze, then vanished in an instant.

The surrounding source particles dispersed completely.

Lin Qi rose abruptly from the floor, tensing his body—his joints cracked with "kaka" sounds.

He looked at his interface.

【You completed a source energy cultivation session. Blood Qi +0.5】

【Blood Qi: 16 → 16.5】

Lin Qi stared at the data and shook his head: "Each session's gain is faster than when I was First Stage."

"But compared to the massive leap at first, the effect is weakening."

"Perhaps it's approaching a plateau."

He now rose at dawn every day to train for two hours at the martial arts hall—it's open 24/7, so he could come anytime.

He trained another two hours at night—his Blood Qi rose quickly.

"Huu!"

Lin Qi exhaled a long breath, feeling his body brimming with power—after every session, he felt utterly energized.

The only downside was mental fatigue—he needed to consume large quantities of stimulant potions.

"Xiao Chan, open the tutorial video!"

"Yes, Master!"

The blue-clad Xiao Chan projected the video again.

The white-robed elder reappeared, explaining the steps and requirements of the Jin Gang Tiger Evolution Method.

Lin Qi listened again—much of the information required repeated listening to fully grasp.

"The Jin Gang Tiger is a top-tier Level Eight disaster beast, possessing immense strength and speed—the ultimate fusion of both."

"Any genius who cultivates the Jin Gang Tiger Evolution Method will, at the Second Stage's peak, possess punch force and speed far beyond ordinary humans," the white-robed elder explained.

"Minimum punch force: 3000 kilograms. Speed: 40 meters per second!"

Lin Qi's heart jolted.

Punch force of 3000 kilograms? Speed of 40 meters per second? What terrifying stats?
