Chapter 158: The Last Month (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Imperial Capital, the living room of a luxury villa

"Son, because your uncle violated the Martial Arts Mansion's regulations, he has been taken away for investigation."

"The results are out now: his position has been revoked, and he has been sent to the Linhai Base to fight against Disaster Beasts for 10 years, until he fulfills specific meritorious service."

"And the most critical thing is that your S-grade contract is completely gone."

In the luxury living room, a middle-aged beauty in a red dress looked terrified.

The reason their family was where they were today was because of Zhang Tai; now that their backer had fallen, the future was full of variables.

Beside her, Li Zehao's face was ferocious: "It's all Lin Qi from Cang Province's fault. If it weren't for him, my uncle wouldn't have been sent to the battlefield."

"And my S-grade contract—that belonged to me."

He clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails dug into his flesh without him even noticing.

"We aren't finished, I will definitely defeat you."

The next day, two days after the Genius Tournament, Tianhai No. 2 High School, inside the martial arts classroom.

Zhang Cheng, who had an exceptionally burly build, looked around at everyone. After experiencing the combat training camp, he could feel that everyone's spirit and energy had undergone a huge change.

He nodded with satisfaction and said:

"It seems everyone's spirit and energy are quite good."

Then, his expression became serious, and his voice boomed like a bell:

"However, today is already April 25th."

"There is only a little over a month left until the college entrance exam; you should desperately make good use of this last month."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the classroom became tense again.

"The last month is very critical. Every 0.01 increase in Qi-blood value is a difference of 0.5 points. Among millions of martial arts students nationwide, that can eliminate dozens of people."

"If you want a good future, then seize the last month."

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he clenched his fists, and everyone present felt immense pressure.

In the afternoon, at the gate of Tianhai No. 2 High School

"Student Lin Qi, this is your express delivery, please sign for it."

It was the same courier wearing a red and black uniform, with a burly build and wearing a hat and mask.

"Beep beep!!"

Lin Qi pressed his palm to verify his identity with practiced ease and took the three black express packages of different sizes.

"Lin Qi, student, I wish you prosperity in your martial path!" the courier offered his blessings.

"Thank you!" Lin Qi nodded in gratitude.

Since returning from the combat training camp, there had been too many good people around him.

At night, inside the B123 martial arts room

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi, wearing a black martial arts uniform, opened the two metal boxes.

First, the small express package was only the size of a shoebox, but it was only two or three centimeters high.

"Beep!"

The black metal box opened automatically, revealing the pitch-black garment inside—the A-grade defensive vest.

He picked up the black A-grade defensive vest; the texture was soft and extremely elastic.

Lin Qi took off his martial arts uniform, put on the defensive vest, and it completely wrapped around his upper body and torso.

He moved his body simply, feeling no discomfort at all.

"Very comfortable, I can wear it all the time, and it's easy to clean. With the defensive vest on, my sense of security has also significantly improved."

Lin Qi nodded, very satisfied. He planned to wear the defensive vest for everything except showering from now on.

At the very least, when facing an assassination, the life-saving effect would be better.

Then he looked at the second metal box, which was thicker. Opening it, it contained two items: 【Blue Marrow Potion】 【Qi-blood Pill】

Lin Qi took out the two items and thought to himself: "Blue Marrow Potion, used together with Qi-blood Pills, will have a better effect."

"With the Blue Marrow Potion, I can reduce the side effects of the Qi-blood Pills; I can probably take one every two or three days."

"Coupled with cultivating the Source Energy technique, it will greatly improve my cultivation efficiency."

Then he opened the last black metal box, which contained two pairs of black gravity rings; these were the new gravity rings he had bought.

One was 100 jin, so four were 400 jin in weight, worth 800,000 yuan.

He took off the 50-jin gravity rings he had been wearing. After putting on the new ones, he jumped on the spot, feeling that the weight was greater than before, and the impact was also greater.

Lin Qi revealed a satisfied smile.

Looking at the gravity rings on the ground: "The 50-jin gravity rings can be sold to Taozi."

"In the future, the 100-jin gravity rings can also be sold to him, and his original gravity rings can be left directly for A-Miao. It's an internal cycle, and no one loses out."

Lin Qi stood up, sat cross-legged, placed his hands in the five-hearts-to-the-sky position, and checked his panel data.

【Name: Lin Qi (17)】

【Profession: Martial Artist】

【Template: Erlang Zhenjun · Yang Jian】

【Fusion Degree: 13.3%】

【Talents: Stomach Strengthening, Vigorous as a Dragon, Steel-like Bones】

【Techniques: Hunyuan Stake, Five-Shape Fist (Five Shapes Practiced Together), Golden Gangjin Tiger Evolution Method, Mountain-Crushing, Dripping Water, Rock-Solid Spear Art, Mountain-Splitting Spear Art】

!

【Qi-blood Value: 23.98】

【Fist Technique: Stage Two 60%】

【Spear Technique: Stage Two 45%】

【Body Technique: Stage Two 32%】

This was his current strength, already standing at the top of all high school seniors in Cang Province.

But Lin Qi was not satisfied. There were nearly 30 S-grade geniuses nationwide.

He could not be satisfied with just being an S-grade genius; he wanted to be the strongest among S-grade geniuses.

"In the last month or so, my goal for the college entrance exam is to get the top spot in Cang Province."

"Besides that, in the national ranking, I also want to rush into the top 20."

"Qi-blood value at least breaks through 27, martial arts break through to Stage Two 50%, and body technique tries to get close to Stage Two 40%."

Lin Qi silently set goals for himself. In the last month or so, he would live at school and in the martial arts room again and start a full-force sprint.

The final ranking was also very important for his future.

As for the recruitment from the three top universities, he hadn't agreed yet; he would make his decision after the college entrance exam.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi began to calm his heart, removed all distracting thoughts, and devoted himself entirely to martial arts cultivation.

In the last month, except for the geniuses who had been recommended and awakened special abilities.

High school seniors in the Xia Guo all entered the final month of closed-door sprinting.

Time passed like a white horse crossing a crevice; the month or so passed in the blink of an eye.

The Xia Guo officially entered summer, and the weather began to get hot again.

Unknowingly, the time had come to June 6th, two days before the college entrance exam.

In the afternoon, Tianhai No. 2 High School, elite class classroom

In the classroom, no one was reading anymore, and the air was filled with a restless atmosphere.

The textbooks were all packed away, and everyone was chatting.

"Unknowingly, high school is almost over; it feels like a dream," Qiu Jie looked at the green trees outside the window and sighed.

"I wonder if everyone will still be at the same school after graduation?" someone asked.

"Everyone will go their separate ways."

Everyone chatted, and many people's gazes were on Lin Qi in the middle.

As the top existence in Cang Province, many people had already made their decision and planned to follow him to university.

At this moment, a few figures walked into the classroom door.

Class teacher Yan Hong, martial arts teacher Zhang Cheng, and other subject teachers all entered the classroom.

Yan Hong, who was wearing glasses, no longer had a serious expression and looked at the students in the class with a smile:

"For the last class, let's have a small meeting."
