Chapter 213: Minor Divine Ability (Seeking monthly votes)

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. Lin Qi listened, seemingly half-understanding, as if he had vaguely grasped something.

After Jia Hui waited for everyone to quiet down, he continued:

"We humans are a race extremely adept at learning; we have learned quite a lot from disaster beasts."

"The first Source Energy cultivation technique was created by the Red Emperor based on the Lava Sparrow, which is the current 'Lava Sparrow Evolution Method'."

"At the same time, Lord Red Emperor also comprehended a weakened version of the Lava Sparrow's divine ability from the 'Lava Sparrow Evolution Method' and created a minor divine ability—Lava Transformation."

"In the Lava Transformation state, although one cannot spew flames, the martial artist's physical fitness will receive an explosive boost, and their personal speed will skyrocket."

"Although it is not as good as a special ability, it is still more powerful than an ordinary martial artist. This is an ability that can turn defeat into victory in a crisis."

Once Jia Laoshi said this, the entire classroom was suddenly in an uproar and boiling over.

"There's such an ability? Why didn't I know about this before?"

"Lava Transformation, it sounds really badass. Why didn't our previous teachers ever mention it?"

Jiang Tao's eyes lit up, and his expression became excited: "I am cultivating the 'Diamond Ape Evolution Method'. Could I comprehend a minor divine ability—Diamond Transformation?"

"Teacher, how does one comprehend a minor divine ability?"

Guanshan was seen raising his hand to ask curiously, and everyone else also looked at Jia Laoshi with curiosity.

Who wouldn't want to comprehend a minor divine ability? It might significantly increase their combat capability.

Lin Qi was also particularly curious, because he suddenly remembered the unknown power he had comprehended at the Disaster Beast Museum yesterday.

Jia Laoshi laughed and said: "Everyone only found out about minor divine abilities today; they are not basic knowledge for high school."

"As you can imagine, this is not an easy thing to do."

"Comprehending a minor divine ability is a low-probability event. First, you must have an extremely high compatibility with the Source Energy cultivation technique you are practicing."

"At the same time, your own martial path bone structure must be extremely strong, and your mental power and comprehension cannot be low."

"Only then is it possible to comprehend a minor divine ability."

"The probability of comprehending a minor divine ability is extremely small. How small? For example, we have 30 S-rank geniuses nationwide in this year's college entrance examination."

"There are also about 30 people who have awakened special abilities, but fewer than three of them can comprehend a minor divine ability."

"There might even be none at all. You can imagine how low the probability is."

Once Jia Laoshi said this, everyone went quiet.

This probability is even lower than becoming an S-rank genius; what's the point of learning it?

Jiang Tao also stopped talking instantly; he didn't have the confidence to learn it either.

"So, for this thing called minor divine ability, just understand it a little. It's better to focus your attention on the improvement of your Qi-blood value and martial arts," Jia Laoshi finally said.

He had been a teacher for several years and hadn't seen many people succeed in practicing it.

After class

A group of people prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat, but Lin Qi did not follow them.

He and Jiang Tao returned to the villa to eat together.

In the spacious living room, Jiang Tao ate his nutritional meal and said:

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, if we're talking about who among us is most likely to learn a minor divine ability, I think you are the most likely."

"And my intuition tells me that you definitely can," Jiang Tao said, his expression becoming serious.

Lin Qi smiled: "Just let nature take its course."

"It's not like I must learn a minor divine ability."

"Your current rate of progress is also very fast. You are now the third place in our Cangqiong Sixth Academy, having already surpassed Wang Qiufeng."

"It seems the mysterious red gemstone has played a role."

Jiang Tao also said quite proudly: "It's thanks to the gemstone, but also my own hard work."

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, apart from you, I have the confidence to surpass anyone. My next goal is to defeat an S-rank genius."

"You will!"

Lin Qi put down his chopsticks and said seriously.

He was genuinely happy for Jiang Tao in his heart. As his best friend, he naturally hoped they could fight side by side.

Rather than falling behind and being eliminated halfway.

His future talent would only get stronger and stronger, and Jiang Tao was his only true brother.

A few minutes later, Jiang Tao left.

Lin Qi entered the spacious martial arts room, changed into his martial arts gear, and walked around simply.

Recalling what Jia Laoshi said in class in his mind, he was already highly certain that what he had comprehended was a minor divine ability.

And it was the divine ability of the Golden Gangjin Tiger.

"Xiao Chan, what is the name of the minor divine ability I can comprehend from the 'Golden Gangjin Tiger Evolution Method'?"

Blue-clothed Xiao Chan projected herself and displayed a screen.

"Master, according to data collected from the Cangqiong Home forum, when the level-eight disaster beast Golden Gangjin Tiger is in a desperate situation, its physical fitness will significantly increase, and its strength and speed will skyrocket."

"We humans have an extremely small probability of comprehending its divine ability—Golden Gangjin Transformation!"

Lin Qi nodded. He could be certain that the unknown power he had comprehended was likely the minor divine ability—Golden Gangjin Transformation!

"It seems it's because my compatibility reached 100%, and my talent and comprehension are both excellent."

"And there's also my Mind's Eye talent."

Lin Qi clenched his fists. Although a divine ability is not as good as a special ability, the skyrocketing combat power at a critical moment is something that can save one's life.

He had only comprehended 10% of it now, and there was still a long way to go.

Once he comprehends it, he can imagine that in a competition, his strength and speed would suddenly increase by a large margin, combined with his combat talent.

Who would still be his opponent?

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi exhaled a breath of turbid air to calm his heart, walked to the silver metal cabinet nearby, and took out a black metal box the size of a mug.

He opened it slowly, revealing the potion containing a pale yellow liquid. This was the Tendon-Changing Potion!

Lin Qi did not hesitate at all, took it out, opened it, and drank it in one gulp.

The taste was sweet, not bitter, leaving one wanting more.

"Time to break through to the Third Realm Skin-Refining martial artist!"

Lin Qi exhaled a breath of turbid air and exercised his body joints.

Ever since his cultivation technique reached Great Completion yesterday and his Qi-blood value broke through to 39.99, he had felt that he was very close to a breakthrough.

Now with the help of the Tendon-Changing Potion, he had a premonition that the breakthrough would be today.

"Bang bang!!"

He set up his fist stance, revealing the black gravity ring on his arm.

His five fingers curled into claws, revealing the thick fascia between his wrists. Lin Qi started practicing the Tiger-Form Fist in an instant.

The whole body's large tendons coordinated with muscle force. While the muscles stretched, the large tendons also contracted like springs, reaching their limit before snapping out, releasing the force.

!

"Hoo"

At the moment of exerting force, the large tendons in his body trembled and began to be refined minutely.

At the same time, the Tendon-Changing Potion he had just consumed also began to take effect.

Streams of heat flowed from his stomach to all parts of his body, wrapping around his body's fascia and constantly heating up.

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi exerted force and felt the 12 large tendons in his body connecting to the fascia all over his body, rising up to the surface of his body.

The blue veins on his arms and thighs bulged, like coiled dragons winding around his bones.

"Hiss~"

Lin Qi gritted his teeth and gasped. The large tendons in his body felt as if they were being pricked by countless small needles, causing subtle pain, as if each one were pricking his nerves.

He endured the pain and continued to practice the fist technique. If he stopped, the tempering effect would not be maximized.

"Bang bang!!"

Angry Tiger Pierces the Forest!

White Tiger Offers Claws!

As the fist technique was unleashed, the muscles exerted force, emitting sounds like air cannons!

Changing from Tiger-Form Fist to Crane-Form Fist, then to Snake Fist, Dragon-Form Fist, and finally to the Ape-Form Fist.

During the process of practicing the fist technique, his body constantly tempered its fascia. Although it felt like needle pricks, he could endure it.

He had already experienced the pain of broken tendons and shattered bones, which was worse than death; this little pain was nothing, simply showing off in front of an expert.

Lin Qi gritted his teeth, carefully feeling the minute parts of his body's large tendons being tempered. If he were to practice it himself, it might take quite a long time.

But now with the assistance of the Tendon-Changing Potion, he could shorten the tempering time very quickly. Selling it for 2 million Xia Nation coins was not expensive at all.

"Bang bang!!"

Two hours later

"Bang! ~"

"Drink~"

Lin Qi suddenly shouted loudly, like a tiger's roar. The large tendons in his body rose, and the power was transmitted out. As his fist was thrown, the air exploded, surpassing any previous time.

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi withdrew his fist and panted heavily. Sweat constantly dripped from his forehead. With every change of move, a large amount of sweat dripped onto the soft mat.

He felt the scorching heat on his body recede like a tide, and the stinging pain gradually approached zero.

He stopped his fist stance, his body shrouded in soreness and fatigue.

His gaze immediately locked onto the panel.

【You consumed the Tendon-Changing Potion, performed more detailed tempering on your body's fascia, Tendon-Refining reached Great Completion, Qi-blood value broke through, Qi-blood value +0.01】

【Your Qi-blood value exceeds 40, you have broken through to a Third Realm Skin-Refining martial artist!】

【Qi-blood value: 39.99→40】

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Qi's mouth. He had finally broken through, and it was much easier than he had imagined.

Thinking back to when he broke through from the First Realm to the Second Realm, he happened to experience the transformation of the 10% template fusion degree and suffered quite a bit.

He went to the side again and picked up a functional drink to drink in large gulps.

He drank three bottles of functional drinks in a row to replenish the lost moisture, and finally drank three tubes of energy potion.

"Hoo~"

A moment later, Lin Qi only felt his whole body heating up, and he activated his perception.

He saw that the Source Energy hidden in his body suddenly surged out and was absorbed by the thirsty body cells.

【Your body digested a large amount of hidden Source Energy particles, your body underwent a transformation, Qi-blood value +1】

【Qi-blood value: 40→41】

Lin Qi felt surprised. He didn't expect there to be so many Source Energy particles that his body hadn't digested and absorbed, helping him digest a large amount of Source Energy in one go.

"Now I can also be considered a Third Realm martial artist. My Qi-blood value has broken through 40. To break through to the Fourth Realm, my Qi-blood value needs to break through 100, a difference of 59, and the difficulty is also higher."

Lin Qi fell into deep thought. From the First Realm to the Second Realm, he only needed to increase his Qi-blood value by 30, but to reach the Third Realm, he needed 60, which had doubled.

"Now that I've broken through to the Third Realm Skin-Refining, I also need someone to guide me in my subsequent cultivation."

"It just so happens that Teacher, Senior Li Qing, and Senior Sister Wang Zhixuan are also coming back."

Lin Qi thought to himself. It was just right that he had broken through to the Third Realm, and he didn't understand the Skin-Refining realm, so he needed someone to give him guidance.
