Chapter 122

Yue Feng drank another sip of hot tea and asked with a smile unhurriedly:

"Do you think it's too precious?"

Lin Qi nodded and said: "This is too much!"

Yue Feng stood up, walked slowly to the window, and looked at the sky outside:

"5 million Xia Guo coins, this is not much!"

"To me, it's just a small amount of money; it's not important to me now."

"The cultivation resources I buy casually are worth more than 5 million."

"I hunted a Seventh Realm disaster beast, the Ghost Tooth Giant Shark, which brought me an income of nearly 100 million Xia Guo coins."

"Hiss~"

Lin Qi couldn't help but gasp when he heard this; a small goal, really rich.

Money was almost becoming a string of numbers.

"But 5 million Xia Guo coins is very important to you right now."

"I said before that I am optimistic about you becoming an S-level genius; this is just a small investment."

"Enough to narrow the distance between you and those top geniuses."

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi stood up sincerely after hearing this and thanked him: "Thank you, Uncle Yue!"

Yue Feng waved his hand and said: "Next, you need to work harder."

"After the results came out yesterday, I already reported your situation to the Red Dome headquarters; they will send specialists down to conduct an assessment of you together with the Mansion Master."

"Whether you can be promoted to an S-level contract is not up to me, but them; I don't have this authority." Yue Feng explained.

"The next month is very critical; fifth in the province is already very strong."

"But it's not enough for S-level; at least top two, or even must be first place."

"The gap between geniuses and geniuses will only be bigger."

"You cannot be satisfied with the status quo."

"You still need to work hard!" Yue Feng said seriously.

Lin Qi nodded, feeling the pressure coming toward his face.

……

A few minutes later, Lin Qi left.

Only Yue Feng and Director Sun remained in the office.

"Old Sun, do you think Lin Qi can conquer the Mansion Master and the assessment team?" Yue Feng continued to drink tea and asked.

Director Sun said: "I think he can!"

"Wang Qiufeng of the Chongming Martial Arts Mansion, Chen Li of the Heiyao Martial Arts Mansion; our Red Dome's most outstanding ones currently are Zhou Xiyin and Lin Qi."

"Zhou Xiyin has always been suppressed by Wang Qiufeng; only Lin Qi's rate of progress is getting bigger and bigger."

"By comparison, he has more hope of surpassing Chen Li and becoming an S-level genius."

"Reasonable and well-founded; I think so too." Yue Feng nodded.

……

Out of the martial arts mansion, Lin Qi returned to his independent B123 martial arts room.

He changed into his martial arts uniform, took energy potions, used Red Blood Ointment, and after a set of procedures, began to cultivate.

Wielding the black Thunder Horn Great Spear, he digested the news he got from Yue Feng.

First was the 5 million quota, allowing him to buy the top-tier five-star spear techniques and body techniques among Bronze-level secret manuals, which could guarantee his future combat power.

Next was the S-level contract matter.

He must get this contract in his hands.

"I didn't expect Uncle Yue to have no authority to decide on the S-level contract."

"The competition for the S-level contract is even more fierce than imagined!"

"And Uncle Yue didn't say the standard for the S-level contract; I can only try my best to compete for a higher ranking."

"Fifth in the province, it has to be first place."

Lin Qi thought to himself, the next goal was to reach the top of Cang Province and upgrade to an S-level contract.

"But before that, I have to prepare well for the fourth and fifth rounds of the Genius Tournament tonight."

……

Sunday, 7:00 PM

In the lobby of the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion, a large group of people gathered again to watch the fun.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge!"

Lin Qi walked into the virtual lobby, and quite a few people saw him and whispered:

"Look, it's Crouching Tiger Lin Qi!"

"I didn't expect him to come to the virtual lobby often; who could have thought he is now third in Tianhai City."

"By the way, does anyone know his Red Realm ID?"

"His strength is so strong; his ranking in the Red Realm should be very high, right?"

"Not clear!"

Quite a few onlookers looked at Lin Qi and whispered.

Lu Xiang and Wu Feng looked at Lin Qi with worship; who could have thought they called him Lin Lin Qi Ge, and he really became awesome. The one with the most complicated mood was Guo Heng; when he saw the top ten in the province, Lin Qi was there, ranked fifth, his heart was shocked.

"Lin Qi, you guy, no wonder you are called Crouching Tiger; you hid too deep."

"Unknowingly, you even surpassed me."

"It seems I have to call you Lin Lin Qi Ge in the future too."

Lin Qi joked: "Then call me Lin Lin Qi Ge and let me hear it!"

The five people chatted for a while before talking about business.

Jiang Tao took the lead and said: "Tonight, the first thing is the fourth round, eliminating half of the 194 people and playing a resurrection tournament with the other thousand-plus people."

"The remaining ones form the final 128, then play the fifth round to decide the final top 64!"

Several people nodded; they had already understood the rules thoroughly.

Lin Qi looked at the time on his phone and said: "Then let's enter the virtual pods."

"Good!" Several people nodded.

!

"Lin Qi, what is your nickname?" Guo Heng suddenly asked before leaving.

Lin Qi's corners of his mouth turned up: "A-Heng, everyone will know soon; don't rush!"

After speaking, he turned and left, entering the virtual pod.

Guo Heng recalled the few nicknames in his mind; that's right. Just like Lin Qi said, today's Genius Tournament ended.

The one who could still advance was Lin Qi.

"Could it be Yang Jian?"

……

Genius Tournament fourth round, 194 geniuses from various identities in the Xia Guo logged into the Red Realm one after another, entering the tournament.

After tonight, only 64 geniuses would be able to stay.

It was destined to be a fiercely competitive night.

……

【Yang Jian, welcome to log into the Red Realm!】

【Yes/No to enter the fourth round of the Genius Tournament; after passing, you will receive a reward of 800,000 Xia Guo coins.】

Lin Qi looked at the reward of 800,000 Xia Guo coins, his corners of his mouth turning up.

This 800,000 Xia Guo coins was not easy to get; once he was unlucky enough to match with a top thirty opponent, he could only regret being eliminated.

But no matter how difficult, he had to get this 800,000 Xia Guo coins in his hands.

Recently, resources were consumed too fast, and he also needed more money.

【Yes!】

Lin Qi clicked "Yes" and officially began to enter the fourth round of the Genius Tournament.

At the same time, the Red Realm began to operate, and the space around Lin Qi shifted, as if he had been moved by an invisible big hand to another space.

"Boom!!"

On an empty arena, two red light pillars descended from the sky.

"Tap tap!!"

Footsteps stepped on the ground.

Two tall figures, holding long spears, slowly walked out from them.

【Nickname: Li Ke (Cang Province)】

【Red Ranking: 90】

……

【Nickname: Yang Jian (Cang Province)】

【Red Ranking: 104】

……

Both saw each other and revealed smiles.

Li Ke felt his luck was not bad: "Actually encountered someone from the same province, and the ranking is lower than mine."

"Then the fourth round, I'm stable."

Lin Qi looked at the name opposite, having a moment of daze.

Li Ke's name made his consciousness seem to return to a few months ago.

He clearly remembered that the Red Ranking was updated, and the scope expanded to the entire Tianhai City.

And Li Ke, he was the second place at that time.

Jiang Tao told them they were going to replace the top two together.

And he happened to match with Li Ke now.

Lin Qi held the sharp black great spear with one hand, his whole body's momentum slowly released, the corners of his mouth under the mask turning up.

"It seems my luck is not bad."

"Heaven also wants me to advance!"
