Chapter 197

At this time, Jiang Tao and the others also sat down to rest, taking healing potions to recover from the exhaustion of their bodies.

"Haha, I didn't expect that we would finally succeed in getting first place."

Jiang Tao, who had recovered a bit of physical strength, suddenly laughed loudly.

"Yes, I really didn't expect everyone to be so amazing, completing a gap of fifty thousand points in nine hours." Guo Heng also spoke and sighed.

"That shows that our strength is not weak." Zhou Xiyin also smiled.

Guanshan looked at Lin Qi and said: "Actually, it still depended on Lin Lin Qi Ge in the end; in the last nine hours, he slaughtered frantically and cut down more than ten thousand points."

"One-fifth of the points were taken by him."

"I can only say, Lin Lin Qi Ge is awesome!"

His eyes became more and more admiring; Lin Qi was too strong, and in the end, even he, a genius from Beijiang Province, couldn't hold on, while the other party could still continue to fight.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge is awesome!" Jiang Tao shouted loudly.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge is awesome!" The others looked at each other and echoed loudly.

Lin Qi shook his head and waved his hand: "Don't shout, it's too exaggerated!"

"Being able to get first place this time is everyone's credit."

"This proves that our strength is also not weak."

Lin Qi looked at the total point leaderboard, looking at the final ranking.

He also thought to himself that it was lucky; he had killed so frantically, and in the end, the academy's overall points only surpassed the Vault of Heaven First Academy by 600 points.

Their own overall strength would at most rank third.

If Ao Feng and Huo Wanyang hadn't withdrawn, but instead, like them, had hunted desperately until the last minute.

Their Sixth Academy really wouldn't have been their opponent.

However, this feeling of a successful scheme was indeed good.

"Fellow students!!"

At this time, a huge 3D projection appeared in front of more than nine thousand people.

Vice Dean Xu Wenji looked around at everyone and said slowly:

"After 41 hours, the disaster beast hunting competition has now completely ended!"

"There were accidents and surprises; this is the Martial Path, nothing is impossible."

"At the same time, let us congratulate the students of the Vault of Heaven Sixth Academy for getting the final first place."

"According to the competition rules, the Ninth-place Vault of Heaven Seventh Academy, the God-Refining Tower, Gravity Room, and Trial Tower time will be increased by one hour, and the dormitory source energy concentration will be increased by 10%."

"The Eighth-place Vault of Heaven Fifth Academy, increase cultivation time by 2 hours, and dormitory source energy concentration by 20%."

……

"The First-place Vault of Heaven Sixth Academy, the three major public cultivation resources will be increased by 9 hours of cultivation time, and the dormitory source energy concentration will be increased by 90%."

"This reward will continue until the next competition."

After hearing this, everyone also revealed different expressions.

The people of the Vault of Heaven Sixth Academy all smiled.

With nine more hours of cultivation time, it is hard to imagine how powerful they will become in the coming time.

Lin Qi also smiled; if he were in third place, with two fewer hours of cultivation time and 20% less source energy concentration, it would also have an impact on his cultivation.

And the people of the Vault of Heaven Ninth Academy and Vault of Heaven First Academy, who were exceptionally proud before, couldn't laugh anymore at this time.

Depression, unwillingness, and other emotions shrouded their hearts.

"Next, fellow students, go back and rest well, and prepare for tomorrow's individual competition."

"The disaster beasts hunted by everyone will also be transferred to everyone uniformly after the individual competition ends."

Finally, Xu Wenji said slowly.

His projection dissipated, and the setting sun, like blood, shone on everyone; night was about to come.

Everyone began to return; trams and sightseeing cars carried more than nine thousand people toward the direction of the academy dormitories.

……

Half an hour later

"Boom!!"

Lin Qi carried things from the tram and entered his No. 01 detached villa.

He took off his combat suit and let the smart robot take it to wash, while he himself entered the bathroom.

"Splash splash!!"

White water vapor steamed, and hot water washed over Lin Qi's body, washing away the sweat and dirt on his body.

Lin Qi's gaze was also placed on the panel.

【Through life-and-death combat with disaster beasts, your mastery of spear technique has significantly improved, Spear Technique +3%】

【Spear Technique: Stage Two 79% → Stage Two 82%】

……

Lin Qi exhaled a breath; he didn't know how many disaster beasts he had killed in three days.

The improvement to his spear technique and body technique realm was also huge.

The strength of the Blood-Scaled Iron Pig was also a very strong existence among Level 3 disaster beasts.

He exerted his strength to the limit, only then killing them all.

"My body has been pushed to the limit now; I estimate that my Qi and blood value can still be improved."

Lin Qi thought to himself; the team competition was over, and next was the individual competition of the Freshman Grand Competition.

That was not hunting disaster beasts, but competing with top experts from other academies.

……

A few minutes later, Lin Qi, who had finished washing, changed into a martial arts suit and began today's cultivation.

"Hoo~"

Very naturally removing distracting thoughts from his heart, his consciousness visualized the Level 8 top-tier disaster beast, the Golden Gangjin Tiger; amidst the heaven-shaking tiger roar, he absorbed the source energy particles in the surrounding air like a storm.

"This……"

Lin Qi felt happy in his heart; countless source energy particles entered his body through his skin pores like released water flow.

This feeling was too comfortable; the cells in his body were more hungry than usual.

It was as if a beggar who hadn't eaten for three days and three nights was absorbing the source energy particles entering his body.

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi's chest rose and fell like mountain rocks; his muscles, blood, fascia, bones, and every cell in his body were absorbing source energy particles, beginning to divide and promote the transformation of his body.

He himself was controlling the source energy to continuously strengthen the tempering of his body's fascia.

As the Qi and blood value increased to 38, the tempering of his body's major tendons was also nearing completion. Two hours later

【Your body consumption is huge, you absorbed more source energy, Qi and blood value broke through, Qi and blood value +0.5】

【Qi and blood value: 38.1 → 38.6】

……

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi opened his eyes, and intense strong winds were released from his eyes and his body.

Dazzling golden light was released from his eyes.

He slowly stood up, clenched his fists, feeling energetic, and his exhaustion was almost completely recovered.

"The Qi and blood value actually increased by 0.5."

Lin Qi guessed that it was because he had frantically hunted disaster beasts for these three days, and the consumption of his body's energy was huge, and his cells had been hungry for too long.

!

So the effect of the cultivation was extremely good.

"Master, counselor Lu Wei notified that there will be a simple online meeting at 10 o'clock."

The projected blue-clothed Xiao Chan suddenly spoke to remind him.

Lin Qi looked at the time on the wall; there was half an hour left until the meeting started.

……

Half an hour later,

Lin Qi, who had finished dinner, logged into the video conference; a green screen was projected, and Lu Wei's face appeared in the video.

"I'm very sorry to have a meeting so late!"

"But the specific rules regarding the individual competition starting tomorrow still need to be explained."

Lu Wei spoke, her own avatar shrank, and the big screen projected the documents she had prepared.

"Freshman Grand Competition individual competition, the participating players are all the freshmen this year, totaling nine thousand people."

"Among them, all academy heads are seeded players, all advancing to the second round in advance."

Lin Qi nodded upon hearing this; experts like him indeed didn't need to participate in the first few rounds, it was a pure waste of time.

"The first round is a ten-thousand-person slaughter!!"

"8991 players enter a unified arena and slaughter each other."

"After fighting until only 900 players remain, they advance to the next round."

As soon as Lu Wei said this, the thousand people watching the video felt a tightness in their hearts.

This individual competition was cruelly exaggerated; one round eliminated 90% of the people, leaving only 900 people.

It was equivalent to only the top 100 of each academy being able to enter the second round.

Lu Wei continued to speak:

"Starting from the second round, every player has a reward; although not much, it is also money."

"Second round, the 900 players are divided into 9 matches, each match ends only when 10 people remain, eliminating another 90%."

"The third seeded players will also join, 99 people start matching, until the final champion position is decided."

"In the first round, facing the slaughter of nearly 9000 people, there are many small tricks that can help you live to the end……"

Then Lu Wei began to introduce the techniques.

But it didn't have much effect on Lin Qi.

In the first round, if you rely on luck, it is possible to advance to the next round, but starting from the second round, you must rely on real strength.

And Lin Qi didn't continue listening; his target was just those two or three people.

……

Time passed so fast; in the blink of an eye, it was August 13th, the first day of the individual competition.

"Hoo~"

In the martial arts room,

Lin Qi, wearing a black martial arts suit, set up a fist stance with sweat all over his head.

"Boom boom!!"

Starting from the Tiger-Shape Fist, his palms hooked into tiger claws and patted out, force penetrating the fingertips, his whole body muscles exerting force, circulating under control.

Released through the fingertips, the crisp sounds became more and more crisp, like air cannons.

Tiger-Shape Fist, Crane-Shape Fist, Snake-Shape Fist, Dragon-Shape Fist, Ape-Shape Fist.

Without the use of weapons, only pure muscle force exertion, he could more clearly feel the operation of his body's power.

The large muscles and small muscle groups of his body could almost all be pulled to exert force.

Lin Qi performed one move after another, even though he had already learned the Black Iron and Bronze spear technique manuals.

But this foundational Five-Shape Fist technique had more and more different insights, as if there was no end to it.

One hour later

"Hoo~"

【Through practicing the Five-Shape Fist, you have a new understanding of fist technique, Fist Technique +1%】

【Fist Technique: Stage Two 92% → Stage Two 93%】

……

"Unknowingly, my fist technique is also about to break through to Stage Three."

"The person who created the Five-Shape Fist is truly a genius; the deeper the realm, the more one can feel the mystery within it."

Lin Qi clenched his fists and thought to himself.

Then, after a simple wash, he opened the virtual pod in the martial arts room and entered it.

In his personal space, he logged into the official website of Vault of Heaven Martial University; the homepage was the link to the Freshman Grand Competition individual competition.

"Boom!!"

The moment he clicked to enter, the surrounding space began to become distorted.

His whole person was pulled out and instantly sent into another space.

The next instant, the whole world suddenly opened up; he suddenly appeared on a spacious auditorium.

Lin Qi looked around; his eyes had now turned into a huge arena.

In the middle was a huge arena built of silver metal stones, surrounded by tiered red-and-white luxurious auditorium seats.

At this time, thousands of genius students with powerful auras were already in the auditorium, curiously looking at everything around them.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge!" A familiar voice sounded in his ear.
