Chapter 168

Lin Qi didn't expect that Jiang Zhiguang's big gift would be so big.

He immediately logged into 【Red Dome Home】 to check it out:

【Item: Mental Potion】

【Effect: Significantly improves mental power; Note: Best effect when taken with mental power cultivation techniques for the first time.】

【Price: 8 million Xia Guo coins/vial】

……

Lin Qi was secretly shocked; it was actually so expensive, the price was close to ten million.

Resources involving mental power were indeed not cheap, and the most critical thing was that he also needed mental power cultivation techniques.

Now Lin Qi didn't dare to try it easily; he planned to wait until he entered Cangqiong Martial Arts University and received more detailed knowledge before taking it to maximize the effect.

Thinking of this, he put away the Mental Potion and opened the official website again to check the volunteer application situation.

【Academy: Sixth Academy】

【Head Master: Lin Qi】

【Number of applicants: 1000/1000】

There were less than 5 hours left until 12:00 at night, and the 1,000 applicant quota for the Cangqiong Sixth Academy had just barely been completed.

Looking at other academies, compared to the First, Ninth, and Second Academies, they were quite different; they had finished registration long ago.

There were even many weak students who were kicked out, constantly selecting the best.

Lin Qi even suspected that there might be many people in his Sixth Academy that other academies didn't want.

"It doesn't matter; when we enter the academy, we will all start competing again."

"Anyway, it looks at the overall strength of the top 100; as long as these people don't hold me back, I have the confidence to surpass other academies."

Lin Qi's mood was very calm, and he was even very curious about the 9 geniuses ranked ahead of him.

……

June 23rd, after 12:00 at night, the registration work of the Xia Guo officially ended.

The college entrance exam fever quickly dissipated, and news of various disaster beasts reappeared in front of everyone.

Everyone's life seemed to have returned to the past.

The global environment gradually became harsh, and the Xia Guo was the same.

News of disaster beast attacks was everywhere; they launched disaster beast tides, and countless martial artists sacrificed their lives every day, while at the same time, a new batch of graduated martial artists stepped onto the battlefield.

The world changed every day, and Lin Qi also became a part of the trend of the era.

……

Before the Martial Arts Era, after the college entrance exam ended, high school seniors had a vacation of nearly three months.

In the Martial Arts Era, three months were reduced to one month.

Martial arts universities uniformly started school at the beginning of July.

Since the graduation banquet ended, Lin Qi returned to a calm life.

He didn't practice as desperately as before, but gave himself a vacation; besides maintaining the practice of source energy techniques, he didn't touch his spear much.

Every day, he traveled within Cang Province with his parents Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi, enjoying food and a relaxed life.

Letting his tense nerves completely relax.

Because he believed this was like boxing; withdrawing the fist was not retreating or avoiding, but to be able to strike with greater force.

It wasn't until the beginning of July that he returned to a state of training.

He had a premonition that there might not be such leisurely rest time in the future.

……

Martial Arts Era 2046, July 8th.

Underground martial arts room.

Lin Qi was wearing a martial arts uniform, wielding the black Lei Jiao Great Spear.

"Shoo shoo shoo~~"

The long spear in his hand shook, continuously piercing the air, with strips of spear shadows, and under his control, it continuously stabbed out.

In one second, he stabbed out more than a dozen spears continuously; at the same time, his muscles exerted force, and the power in his body flowed, like waves of water, pouring into the spear body and releasing.

17, 18, 19

20

"Shhh~"

With the last spear stabbing out suddenly, the fierce power accompanied by a strong roar tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

【After training, your spear technique has improved, spear technique +1%】

【Spear technique: Second Stage 55%→56%】

……

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi stopped to rest, looking at the still-sharp Lei Jiao Great Spear in his hand and shaking his head.

He was now wearing two hundred-jin gravity rings on his arms and could stab out 20 spears in one second.

In an instant, he could stab an ordinary person into a sieve. At the same time, he could also feel that the Lei Jiao Great Spear in his hand had become lighter.

"I need to buy a new long spear!"

He thought, and finally his gaze fell on the panel.

【Name: Lin Qi (18)】

【Profession: Wu Zhe】

【Template: Erlang Zhenjun · Yang Jian】

【Fusion Degree: 14.7%】

【Talent: Stomach Strengthening, Vigorous, Steel Tendons and Iron Bones】

【Techniques: Hunyuan Stake, Five-Form Fist (Five Forms Practiced Together), Golden Gangjin Tiger Evolution Method, Basic, Mountain-Crushing, Dripping Water, Rock-Solid Spear Technique, Mountain-Splitting Spear Technique】

【Qi and blood value: 30.52】

【Fist technique: Second Stage 70%】

!

【Spear technique: Second Stage 56%】

【Body technique: Second Stage 37%】

……

Lin Qi looked at his body's various data; after the college entrance exam ended, he had a rare vacation, and his strength didn't improve much.

His Qi and blood value barely broke through 30, and he could feel that after 30, the growth rate of Qi and blood slowed down again.

Continuing to stay at home, the speed would only get slower and slower; he needed to go to the martial arts university.

The improvement of fist technique was the same as always; after resting for more than ten days, his body and mind were relaxed, and his spear technique improved the fastest instead.

It was even about to break through to the middle of the Second Stage.

He exhaled a breath and drank a large gulp of functional beverage.

Tomorrow he would head to Cangqiong Martial Arts University, and he was quite looking forward to it in his heart.

……

July 9th, clear sky for ten thousand miles, scorching sun.

Dozens of students had already gathered in the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion; they were traveling light, carrying only backpacks.

They were students from Cang Province who had applied to the Cangqiong Sixth Academy and gathered here.

The hall was also filled with the sound of discussion.

"I didn't expect you to also apply to Cangqiong Martial Arts University; we'll be classmates from now on."

"Which academy are you in?"

"Nonsense, naturally the Sixth Academy; ask the people here, everyone wants to follow the Crouching Tiger Lin Qi." The one speaking was Lu Xiang.

As soon as he said this, the people around revealed knowing smiles.

"A-Heng, I didn't expect Wang Qiufeng, Zhou Xiyin, and the others to actually come to Cangqiong Martial Arts University too."

Lu Xiang leaned over to Guo Heng and whispered.

Guo Heng nodded; he saw several masters, or rather, several masters from the top ten in Cang Province had gathered here.

"Lin Qi is here!"

Someone looked outside the hall, and saw a small blue car stop, and two figures got out.

First was a boy with dark skin, a burly and sturdy build, broad arms, and muscles like steel.

His features were three-dimensional and handsome, and his whole body exuded a thick, diamond-like aura.

Everyone recognized this person as the 8th place in Cang Province, nicknamed the Blade Ape, Jiang Tao.

And the person beside him had an even sharper aura, a tall build, standing tall and straight, his body seeming to contain explosive power.

His face was cold and stern, keeping people at a distance, his eyes bright and deep, as if he could see through people's hearts, and people didn't dare to look him in the eye.

This was the current Cang Province Top Graduate, 10th place nationwide, nicknamed the Crouching Tiger, Lin Qi.

As the two slowly entered the hall, dozens of people stood up and looked over.

"Brother Qi, we are classmates in the same academy this time!" Guo Heng took the lead and revealed a smile.

He stretched out his fist and bumped it with Lin Qi's.

Then came Lu Xiang, Wu Feng, and Qiu Siying; finally, Lin Qi looked around and saw many acquaintances.

"Lin Qi, when we get to Cangqiong Martial Arts University, I'll follow you." Wang Qiufeng, who had delicate features, approached and smiled.

"And me!" Zhou Xiyin, who had a tall figure, smiled.

"Add me!" Li Zhou, who had a burly and strong build, also raised his hand.

"And me!" The people from Tianhai No. 2 High School also spoke up.

Lin Qi looked around at everyone; this group of people would be his foundation at Cangqiong Martial Arts University.

At the same time, he also saw Yu Jing in the corner, which surprised him quite a bit; the other party had actually also applied to the Cangqiong Sixth Academy.
