……

"Tick!"

Lin Qi wiped the sweat from his face and couldn't help but exhale after looking at the information on the panel.

The effect of the Skin-Tempering Ointment was indeed not bad. Combined with the 5-times gravity cultivation in the gravity room, the first cultivation session increased his Qi-blood value by two points.

Besides that, what surprised him the most was the minor divine ability 【Golden Golden Gangjin Transformation】, the progress of which had increased from 10% to 20%.

The improvement speed was very fast, and he even felt that there was hope to comprehend it within a few months.

"Gulp~"

He picked up the functional drink and drank it in large gulps. During the rest, he suddenly thought.

"How strong is my fist force now?"

Ten minutes later

Lin Qi opened the door and returned to the detached villa, entered the martial arts room, and came to the fist force testing machine.

"Tick!"

As the switch was pressed, the electronic screen on the black-red fist force testing machine suddenly lit up.

"Last time I tested, my fist force almost exceeded 3200kg, far exceeding the minimum fist force of 2500kg for Third Realm martial artists."

"Even a genius with natural divine power like Huo Hao Wanyang is not as good as me in fist force. He is only about 3100kg."

Lin Qi thought secretly, and at the same time began to relax his body, letting his muscles loosen.

"Hoo~"

He took a deep breath, then his expression condensed, and golden light seemed to flash crazily in his eyes.

Muscles throughout his body exert force, coordinating with his skin; he twists his waist and rotates his hips, tightening his fist to store momentum.

His body contracted like a powerful spring, his spine dragon was supported section by section, transmitting power.

At the moment of exerting force, he also seemed to transform into a level-eight disaster beast, the Golden Golden Gangjin Tiger.

His fist slapped out like a tiger claw, a strong fist technique was unleashed, and it smashed heavily onto the red fist target.

"Hoo!!"

"Bang!!"

Accompanied by a heavy sound, the fist target shook violently, the electronic screen on the machine refreshed rapidly, and a string of numbers suddenly appeared—"3586.6kg!"

Lin Qi smiled. Sure enough, it was just as he thought.

"My fist force definitely reached 3500kg when breaking through to the Third Realm, which is 1000kg more than the minimum fist force of 2500kg for Third Realm martial artists."

His fist force was now very exaggerated, and his strength was ridiculously large.

"And speed!"

Lin Qi then started to test his speed under full burst.

Three minutes later, under the action of the speed tester, Lin Qi transformed into a fierce tiger and pounced out in an instant. Accompanied by a gust of fierce wind, he crossed the finish line in less than a second.

"Tick tick!"

Data also appeared on the electronic screen—"44m/s"

Lin Qi nodded. The minimum speed for the Third Realm is 36m/s, and his speed far exceeded it.

Then he suddenly thought again: Fourth Realm martial artists have already reached the Mid-Realm martial artist level.

The fist force of a Fourth Realm martial artist is: 5000kg!

The minimum speed of a Fourth Realm martial artist is: 54m/s

Lin Qi calculated carefully. The gap between his physical fitness and a Fourth Realm martial artist was still quite large. Just the fist force was still 1400kg short.

He estimated that his Qi-blood value might need to break through 70 or 80 before he could surpass the minimum fist force of a Fourth Realm martial artist.

It is still very difficult to fight across levels.

"I have just broken through to the Third Realm Skin-Refining martial artist, and there is still a long way to go."

Lin Qi clenched his fists. With the improvement of the realm, the Qi-blood value required to break through to the next realm is also getting higher and higher.

The progress speed of many martial artists will drop significantly. For example, his father Lin Zhen has been stuck in the Third Realm for more than ten years and has never broken through. And there are quite a few people like him, mainly because they lack resources.

In Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda, the minimum graduation realm is the Fourth Realm, but in other martial arts universities, one might be able to graduate at the Second Realm.

"Hoo~"

After thinking simply for a moment, Lin Qi changed into martial arts gear, sat cross-legged, and started today's Source Energy cultivation.

……

The freshman competition ended, and the freshmen of the entire Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda returned to calm.

The freshman competition stimulated quite a few students, because the cultivation time of the three major public resources had increased, finally letting them experience the feeling of rapid progress.

Especially the students of Cangqiong Sixth Academy, the Source Energy concentration in their martial arts room increased by 90%.

The cultivation efficiency was significantly improved, and the Qi-blood value made progress almost every day.

This feeling of constantly getting stronger also made everyone work harder in training, fearing that the Source Energy concentration would decrease next time.

Other academies were also stimulated, and they had to practice even harder. The cultivation atmosphere of the entire academy became exceptionally strong.

!

……

In the blink of an eye, a week passed

Cangqiong Sixth Academy, in the martial arts room of Villa No. 01.

Lin Qi, wearing black martial arts gear, sat cross-legged with his legs crossed, his hands in the five-hearts-towards-the-sky posture.

Around his body, gusts of fierce wind were stirred up, circling his body like a tornado.

In his perception, countless light spots permeated the space of the entire martial arts room.

The huge Golden Golden Gangjin Tiger opened its bloody mouth, gathered the Source Energy particles into a group, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

A large amount of Source Energy particles poured into every corner of his body and were crazily swallowed and absorbed by the thirsty cells.

Lin Qi slowly guided the Source Energy to temper his skin membrane, letting the skin cells absorb it crazily, and then mutate and decompose, making the skin membrane tougher and more elastic.

Two hours later

Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes released golden light, a terrifying aura radiated out, and the surrounding fierce wind spread to the surroundings like ripples on a lake.

【You performed Source Energy cultivation for two hours, your flesh became stronger, your Qi-blood value was improved, Qi-blood value +0.6】

【Minor divine ability "Golden Golden Gangjin Transformation" comprehension 25%】

【Qi-blood value: 44.3→44.9】

……

Lin Qi exhaled a breath, looking at the improved Qi-blood value, full of motivation.

"After the freshman competition ended, I have made significant progress almost every day."

"This feeling of watching one's strength improve bit by bit every day is really easy to get addicted to."

Then he looked at the minor divine ability 【Golden Golden Gangjin Transformation】, and the comprehension progress was also constantly improving.

Everything was steadily improving.

"Time to go to class!"

……

Half an hour later, before the early morning class

Cangqiong Sixth Academy, Cangjing Building, in the dean's office on the top floor.

On the blue sofa next to the huge fish tank, Lin Qi took the hot tea brewed by Liu Yuanzhang, took a sip, and experienced the taste.

"Dean, why haven't I seen the main dean? Even at the opening ceremony, only you showed up," Lin Qi asked his doubt.

Liu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea and said:

"Our Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda, ten major academies, except for the Tenth Academy, each other academy has one dean and two vice-deans."

"The dean is an Eighth Realm martial artist, elusive, and rarely stays in school. Either he is suppressing disaster beasts on the battlefield, or he is going to the Otherworld for major reclamation."

"They are the tall ones in our Xia Nation, and the sky is supported by them."

"The other vice-dean of our Cangqiong Sixth Academy is not in school, he went to the battlefield."

Lin Qi nodded. Sure enough, high-level martial artists are never idle.

"Lin Qi, I called you here today to tell you about the National Freshman Competition that is about to start in more than two months!" Liu Yuanzhang said slowly.

"National Freshman Competition?!"

Lin Qi's expression also became serious.
