Chapter 131

Martial Arts Era 2046, March 12th.

The second day of the inspection team's arrival in Tianhai City.

Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall, Room B126.

Lin Qi swings the great spear in his hand; his muscles bulge, Qi and blood surge, and blue veins pop out.

His body is crimson, emitting white steam, sweat falling like rain, scattering wildly with his movement.

Lin Qi's gaze is firm, his wrists exert force, the spear body trembles, and the spear tip shakes crazily.

"Swish, swish!!"

"Hoo~"

"Tsk, tsk~"

The great spear swings the "Mountain-Splitting Spear Art," the heavy spear emitting a sharp whistling sound in the air; accompanied by the change of moves, strong winds blow, accompanied by the sound of tearing air.

The air seems to have an invisible force venting, vibrating the air.

With the final spear thrust out suddenly, the surging force like waves is released with the spear tip, erupting with power sufficient to split mountains and rocks.

Lin Qi stops, his eyes bright; although his arms are trembling, his entire temperament has already changed.

"This is the operation of force; it feels very wonderful. A spear strike I throw out casually has power comparable to a killing move."

"This is the unique force of the 'Mountain-Splitting Spear Art'—Mountain-Splitting Force."

"It possesses very strong tearing and destructive power."

Lin Qi thinks to himself; the next direction for his improvement in spear art is to gradually master more force.

Gradually increase the power of the moves, constantly improve the force-exertion techniques, until he comprehends the three major killing moves.

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi begins to pant, picking up an energy drink and gulping it down.

A moment later, he takes out a black metal box from the white metal cabinet in the corner, opens it, and takes out another manual—"Lei Guang Body Technique."

He has already learned the "Mountain-Splitting Spear Art."

It is time to learn a new body technique manual.

The cover of the entire manual is golden yellow, with four large, dragon-flying-phoenix-dancing characters written on it—"Lei Guang Body Technique."

Lin Qi begins to flip through and watch.

"The 'Lei Guang Body Technique' is an extremely exquisite body technique manual, with inspiration derived from the swiftness and agility of lightning."

"When the body technique is executed, it is like lightning flashing, with extremely fast speed and unpredictable movement trajectories."

"This body technique emphasizes speed and explosive power, placing extremely high demands on the learner's core, flexibility, coordination, and muscles."

Lin Qi nods; without good physical roots, one is not suitable for practicing this body technique.

Besides body technique, the "Lei Guang Body Technique" is also called footwork, requiring leg muscles to exert force and the body to leap and shift.

These are all things he has never learned before.

He inserts the USB drive, projects the teaching video, and begins to learn.

In the video is a middle-aged man wearing a black martial arts uniform, with a lean physique, a cross-shaped claw scar on his face, and his entire body exuding a terrifying sharpness.

"For body technique training, we need to conduct footwork training on flat ground."

"Feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, lower the center of gravity..."

"The connection between the two steps must be extremely tight, like lightning flashing twice in succession..."

Lin Qi practices slowly following the movements, only feeling his movements are clumsy and stiff.

Looking at the person in the video again, the footwork is flexible and rapid, and the entire body is abnormally coordinated, like lightning flashing.

Under 200 jin of gravity on his body, Lin Qi constantly conducts footwork training and soon feels fatigue.

His leg muscles are heavy, constantly trembling, and the soreness constantly stimulates Lin Qi's will.

"Hoo!"

"Drip!"

Lin Qi grits his teeth and continues to persist, letting the sweat drip onto the ground.

He practices the footwork silently, recalling the force-exertion techniques of the muscles in the body technique.

Two hours later.

"Hoo, hoo~"

Lin Qi changes his footwork; the movement of the footwork changes from the previous clumsiness to flexibility.

Muscles exert force, force is formed, just like lightning flowing through his legs.

Suddenly, his footwork changes and branches out, running out of phantom images.

【You have mastered the "Lei Guang Body Technique" through arduous training; you have learned the body technique, body technique +5%】

【Body Technique: Second Stage 7% → 12%】

"Hoo~"

With the final step taken, Lin Qi finally cannot support himself and sits on the ground.

"Finally mastered it!"

Looking at the data on the panel, Lin Qi reveals a smile, feeling relieved.

Moreover, his body technique realm improved by 5% in one breath, a significant increase.

This is something he did not expect.

It shows that his body technique has truly made huge progress.

A moment later, he slowly stands up, moves his footwork, and his body leaps and shifts.

He clearly feels his entire body has become more flexible, and he is more capable of calmly dodging when facing an opponent's attack.

"As expected of a body technique manual, the improvement effect is very obvious," Lin Qi sighs to himself.

"The 'Lei Guang Body Technique' is divided into four realms, unlike the spear art manual, which is simple and crude, using how many killing moves one has learned as the realm."

"It is divided into four realms: Entry, Small Completion, Great Completion, and Perfection."

"In the Entry realm of body technique, the practitioner can initially master basic footwork, and their flexibility and speed are faster than usual."

"I am currently in the Entry realm."

"When I am proficient in footwork and can shuttle quickly on the battlefield, it will be the Small Completion realm."

Lin Qi stands up and walks into the bathroom; from now on, the content he needs to train has increased: cultivation method, fist technique, spear art, and body technique practice.

These four can occupy all his time.

Plus wearing the gravity ring, it is even more exhausting.

"Tired is tired, but the speed of strength improvement is also truly fast."

"Whoosh, whoosh!!" Feeling the hot water washing over him, the fatigue of his entire body does not dissipate for a long time.

Lin Qi thinks, if it weren't for the "Dragon Spirit Tiger Might" talent and the template talent, if he practiced so desperately, his body might not necessarily be able to withstand it.

At this time, in a certain bedroom in Rongshan Residential Area.

In an old brown bedside table, Jiang Tao solemnly takes out a black box, like a ring box, with a fingerprint unlocker on the front.

"Beep!"

Fingerprint verification successful.

The box slowly opens, revealing the contents: embedded is a deep red, water-drop-like gemstone.

Jiang Tao curiously takes it out and places it under the light, saying:

"What is this?"

!

"Before Mom and Dad sacrificed themselves, they participated in an exploration team to another world and brought this thing back not long after."

"They told me to open it after my 18th birthday."

"Then they hurriedly went to another world and eventually sacrificed themselves there, with no bones left."

"There's not even an instruction manual; how am I supposed to guess?" Jiang Tao silently complains.

Just as he is speaking, a sudden sharp pain occurs; he looks down.

He sees his finger touching the tip of the water drop; the sharp part is unimaginably sharp, cutting his finger instantly.

The next second, the deep red water drop twists and instantly turns into liquid, darting into his body through the wound.

Then the wound recovers at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What is this thing, how did it enter my body?" Jiang Tao's expression is one of terror and curiosity.

The unknown feeling makes him feel insecure.

Two days later, Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall, Room B126.

"You said that deep red water-drop-like thing entered your body."

Lin Qi, wearing a black martial arts uniform, looks at Jiang Tao in front of him and asks in return.

Jiang Tao nods and asks cautiously: "Lin Lin Qi Ge, do you think I will be like the protagonist in a novel, obtaining a magical treasure, then soaring into the sky and becoming the strongest person on Blue Star?"

"Eliminating all disaster beasts, saving all humanity, and becoming a hero."

"It's not impossible..."

Lin Qi lowers his head in thought; just as Jiang Tao said, that thing was brought back by his parents from another world.

However, it has already entered his body, and there is no way to get it out.

Perhaps this is Jiang Tao's opportunity.

He himself is cheating, and Jiang Tao is actually cheating too.

"However, why did you tell me?" Lin Qi asks.

Jiang Tao says indifferently: "In this world, besides Ah Miao, the person I trust most is you, Lin Lin Qi Ge."

"I know you won't harm me."

Lin Qi smiles with some emotion after hearing this, so he says:

"Keep this matter strictly confidential; don't let anyone else know."

Jiang Tao pats his chest and says: "Don't worry, Lin Lin Qi Ge, I understand; besides the three of us, no one else knows."

Lin Qi asks: "By the way, have you felt anything in the last two days?"

Jiang Tao scratches his head: "No feeling, except that my sleep quality has improved, and I'm full of energy every day; no other feeling."

"But Lin Lin Qi Ge, my state yesterday was very good."

"You have to be careful; maybe I will surpass you soon."

Lin Qi smiles; it seems the effect is not obvious yet, perhaps he will see the effect in the future.

"Let's go; the sixth round of the Genius Hegemony Tournament is about to start."

The two leave the martial arts room together.

Walking on the road, Jiang Tao looks at the black metal ring on Lin Qi's arm and secretly decides in his heart.

In a few days, he will also change to a 50-jin gravity ring.

In the virtual hall.

Many people are watching the big screen; besides the Cang List, their attention is also focused on another red list.

"It's almost the sixth round of the Genius Hegemony Tournament, 64 to 32; half will be eliminated again."

"Only three people are left in our Cang Province; I hope they can all advance," someone sighs.

As representatives of Cang Province, they have high hopes for the remaining three.

"That's too difficult; Li and Fengshen have a better chance, but Yang Jian is very difficult!" Someone makes a judgment.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge!"

Lu Xiang and the other two, plus Guo Heng, are also sitting in the corner; seeing Lin Qi, they greet him enthusiastically.

"Everyone is here!" Lin Qi nods and sits down in the center position.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, come on, our Cang Province is counting on you three," Qiu Siying, wearing a purple casual outfit, clenches her fists nervously and says.

"I will!"

"Going in!"

Lin Qi, having finished a bottle of drink, begins to enter the virtual cabin.

"Do you think Lin Lin Qi Ge can win?" Wu Feng asks.

"He can win." Jiang Tao is very confident.

He can feel Lin Qi's efforts under the 50-jin gravity ring; he will win.

Guo Heng does not speak, worrying in his heart: "If Lin Qi can comprehend the operation of force, maybe he can advance."

"If not, then it's too difficult."

"According to my sister, the top 50 geniuses have all broken through to the early second stage and have all mastered the flow of force."
