Chapter 189: Is the Result Already Determined? (Seeking monthly votes)

August 8th, two days before the freshman grand competition.

Cangqiong Sixth Academy, in the living room of a detached Chinese-style villa.

Lin Qi, wearing a red and white school uniform, sat on the sofa, with a green screen projected in front of him.

The webpage clearly wrote 【Red Dome Home】, accompanied by melodious music.

"I need to buy a new combat suit. The combat equipment gifted by the Red Dome Martial Arts Hall is too low-level."

Lin Qi thought to himself and quickly started searching for 【Combat Suit】.

The next second, the page refreshed, and several sets of combat equipment appeared.

【Item: Stage One Combat Suit】

【Introduction: Can effectively block the claws and bites of Level 1 calamity beasts.】

【Price: 100,000 Xia currency!】

……

Lin Qi shook his head after seeing this. A Level 1 combat suit could only prevent bites from Level 1 calamity beasts and had no great effect on him.

This freshman grand competition, like the actual combat training camp, released calamity beasts up to Level 3.

Therefore, a Stage Three combat suit was enough.

【Item: Stage Three Combat Suit】

【Price: 2 million Xia currency】

……

Lin Qi exhaled a breath of turbid air after seeing the price.

The price of a Stage Three combat suit was not cheap at all, but for his own safety, he still had to buy it.

Then he looked at the long spear weapon.

"Weapons are divided into nine stages, just like combat suits. The higher the stage, the more precious the alloy used."

"It is said that high-stage weapons are all made of metal elements from another world, called Delta Alloy. The higher the content, the harder, sharper, and tougher the weapon refined."

"Before, my Thunder Horn long spear and the free alloy long spear issued by the Red Dome Martial Arts Hall had a very low content of Delta Alloy, barely enough to deal with Level 2 calamity beasts."

"To deal with Level 3 calamity beasts, they are easy to wear out and roll the edge, so I must buy a Stage Three long spear."

The next second, the webpage in front of him refreshed, and several price lists for long spears appeared.

The new long spear he bought was a training long spear, which was just purely heavy, but actual combat was different.

After looking for a while, he had a target.

【Item: Thunder Shadow Type Stage Three Long Spear】

【Price: 4.5 million Xia currency!】

……

【Item: Taiyue Type Stage Three Long Spear】

【Price: 5 million Xia currency!】

……

Lin Qi looked at the two types of long spears. Thunder Shadow was suitable for martial artists who were agile and focused on speed.

And the Taiyue brand of long spears was generally the first choice for those who focused on strength and defense. The long spear was heavier, and the price was also more expensive.

And the price of weapons was even more expensive than combat suits.

Lin Qi didn't have time to feel sorry for his money. He sent the required spear weight and his physical parameters to the shop, and finally added them to the shopping cart to buy together.

【Do you want to buy a Stage Three combat suit and a Stage Three Taiyue Type 3 long spear? Because you enjoy a 40% discount, the price is 6.2 million Xia currency!】

【Fingerprint verification successful!】

【Payment successful!】

【6.2 million Xia currency paid!】

【Your combat suit and Taiyue long spear will arrive within tomorrow!】

Lin Qi closed Red Dome Home and returned to the martial arts room, looking at the balance in his bank card, feeling very distressed.

Buying the "Hundred Calamity Illustrated Record" and the Calamity Beast Map had cost nearly 8 million.

In this nearly one month, he had also spent a lot on training resources.

First were the Qi-blood pills. The ones gifted by the Red Dome Martial Arts Hall had been taken by him, and he still needed to buy a large amount himself.

Besides that, energy potions, advanced improvement potions, and Level 3 nutritional meals all required a large amount of money.

Now his balance was almost under 10 million Xia currency.

"If I keep spending like this, I don't know when I'll be able to save up 50 million Xia currency."

Lin Qi remembered what Dean Liu said: at least 100 million Xia currency before going to buy Regeneration Water.

Let alone 100 million, he didn't even have 30 million Xia currency on him now.

"Still have to compete. In the freshman grand competition, I must get a higher ranking and more money."

Lin Qi clenched his fists. He was now abnormally eager for money.

……

The next day.

In the martial arts room.

"Roar~"

"Heh~ heh~"

In Lin Qi's conscious space, a Mastiff-Toothed Dog with a streamlined body bared its fangs and brandished its claws, fighting ten calamity beasts at the same time.

"Pfft~"

It leaped into the air, its sharp teeth biting heavily onto the neck of an Iron-Spiked Wild Boar.

"Heh~"

The Iron-Spiked Wild Boar fell to the ground and died instantly. The Mastiff-Toothed Dog continued its attack, pouncing toward another Mastiff-Toothed Dog.

Even if the other party bit it, it could recover quickly, relying on its powerful recovery ability.

Lin Qi transformed into a Mastiff-Toothed Dog and hunted all ten Level 1 calamity beasts.

"Roar~"

The Mastiff-Toothed Dog roared to the sky, turned into golden light and dissipated, and Lin Qi's conscious space vibrated violently.

The amount of an invisible gray mist became larger.

Lin Qi opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes shining like light bulbs, and dazzling golden light flickered constantly.

【You successfully killed 10 Level 1 calamity beasts, mental power improved. Mental Power +1】

【Mental Power: 44 → 45】

……

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi stood up slowly. Seeing his mental power break through, he clenched his fists, sensing that his body's state was also constantly getting better.

If mental power is higher than Qi-blood value, it can exert a good perception effect.

If it is lower than Qi-blood value, the effect of martial arts will be weakened.

It even requires Qi-blood to counter-supplement mental power.

Lin Qi didn't need it. His mental power was high, and combined with the Heart Eye talent, his spear and movement techniques had improved significantly. He looked at the panel data again.

【Name: Lin Qi (18)】

【Template: Erlang Zhenjun · Yang Jian】

【Fusion Degree: 15.6%】

【Mental Power: 45】

【Qi-blood Value: 38.1】

【Fist Technique: Stage Two 92%】

【Spear Technique: Stage Two 79%】

【Movement Technique: Stage Two 52%】

……

Looking at the information on the panel, this was his current full strength.

!

His gaze locked onto the fist force tester not far away.

"The freshman grand competition starts tomorrow, so I need to test my fist force again."

"Beep!"

He walked slowly to the fist force tester, turned it on, and as the electronic screen lit up, he finished storing his strength.

"Hoo~"

He took a deep breath, his eyes tightened, his legs spread, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

This person seemed to have transformed into a Jin Gang Tiger, and a violent aura erupted from his fist.

His whole body's muscles exerted force, Qi-blood surged, the veins on his arms bulged, and his fist was stored like a cannonball and blasted out.

It set off a fierce wind and smashed heavily onto the target.

"Bang!!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, the target shook violently, and the electronic screen instantly refreshed the data—"3180.1kg!"

Lin Qi smiled after seeing the data.

Then he started testing his speed again.

Three minutes later.

"Boom!!"

The spacious martial arts room allowed Lin Qi to sprint, and he instantly transformed into a terrifying lightning bolt cutting through the sky.

"Beep!"

A string of data instantly appeared on the electronic screen—"33m/s"

Fist force 3180kg!

Speed 33m/s

This data had completely surpassed the minimum physical fitness of a Third Realm martial artist.

"The minimum fist force for a Third Realm martial artist is 2500 kilograms. Now I have approached 3200 kilograms of fist force, exceeding it by 700 kilograms, even more than the 3000 kilograms of fist force recorded by the Jin Gang Tiger."

"This is not my limit yet. Once I break through to a Qi-blood value of 40, my fist force can be significantly improved again."

Lin Qi clenched his fists, feeling endless power surging up.

"Huo Wanyang, nicknamed Wenhou, likes the strongest combat power of the Three Kingdoms—Lu Bu."

"Uses a halberd, born with divine strength. When he entered school, his fist force broke the record, possessing over 2800 kilograms of fist force."

"Don't know how it compares to me now."

Lin Qi was very much looking forward to the battle with Huo Wanyang.

Whether it was Ao Feng or Duan Chuchu, although their strength was good, they didn't give him a strong feeling.

Only Huo Wanyang was an exception. The other party's strength was very strong, a formidable enemy.

"Hoo~"

"Next, I need to consider the freshman grand competition."

So he took out his phone and sent messages to Jiang Tao, Guanshan, and other top geniuses.

……

Cangqiong First Academy, top floor of the teaching building, in a spacious martial arts room.

"Wanyang, with your strength, you have no opponents in this freshman grand competition."

"Your strength is one of the strongest geniuses I have ever seen among those who haven't awakened special abilities."

A bald middle-aged man wearing a red martial arts outfit looked at Huo Wanyang in front of him and smiled.

He was very satisfied with this student of his, a Seventh Realm martial artist who was one of the few to use a halberd.

Now as Huo Wanyang's teacher, he would definitely get a lot of teaching points in the future.

Huo Wanyang, with his sturdy and strong build, grinned: "Others among the freshmen are not my opponents at all. The gap between us is too big."

"Maybe only Wei Peng from Minghai Martial Arts University and Liang Yuxin from Shanyu Martial Arts University can barely make me interested."

"Since I was a child, my goal has always been that group of geniuses who awakened special abilities."

"Without special abilities, I can also surpass them."

Huo Wanyang looked up and clenched his fists confidently.

……

Cangqiong Ninth Academy, in the martial arts room of the teaching building.

Ao Feng, wearing a white martial arts outfit, with beautiful features and fair skin, brandished the Tang horizontal sword in his hand, the blade light cold.

His figure flashed through the entire martial arts room like a ghost.

"Shoo shoo!!"

After a moment, Ao Feng brandished the blade light and showed an excited smile:

"Although the time for the Gravity Room and Trial Tower has been used up, my strength has improved."

"Even facing Huo Wanyang, I can win. A strength-type martial artist like him is most afraid of an opponent like me."

"I've set my mind on the individual competition champion!"

……

Martial Arts Era 2046, August 10th, the weather is hot.

"Boom!!"

In Villa 01, Cangqiong Sixth Academy, the door opened, and Lin Qi, wearing a Stage Three black combat suit and with a tall build, walked out.

At this time, at the entrance, more than twenty trams had already stopped at the door.

Among them, a black tram with a streamlined body stopped at the door.

"Brother Qi!!"

Lin Qi looked at the crowd. Jiang Tao, Guo Heng, Guanshan, Wang Qiufeng, Zhou Xiyin, and Li Zhou—all twenty-something people had their eyes on him. He then announced:

"Let's go!"

After speaking, he carried his backpack and black metal cylinder and entered the tram, with the blue metal ball following behind.

"Boom!!"

A group of trams started with a roar, heading toward the Calamity Beast Hunting Competition in a mighty force. A large screen was projected in the air, with four big characters written on it: Cangqiong Sixth Academy.
