Chapter 251

In the spectator stands of Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda, it was a scene of boiling excitement.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge is awesome!!"

The thousands of people from Cangqiong Sixth Academy erupted, all shouting loudly in unison.

"That was a minor divine ability! Teacher Jia was telling the truth!" Jiang Tao said excitedly.

"I knew Lin Lin Qi Ge would definitely be able to master a minor divine ability!"

"Lin Lin Qi Ge is too awesome!" Guo Heng couldn't help but speak up either.

He had originally thought Lin Qi was bound to lose, but the result exceeded everyone's expectations; Lin Qi not only won, but he won by forcefully defeating Han Zhen.

It was a solid, real-deal achievement, without a shred of luck.

Others were also amazed; Lin Qi had refreshed their understanding yet again, being able to defeat even a genius from the Ten Academies.

What else was there that he couldn't do!

In a corner of the spectator stands.

Li Qing and Wang Wang Zhixuan looked at each other, and Li Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said:

"This..."

"Junior brother is too awesome! He even managed to beat a genius from the Ten Academies!"

"If I haven't seen wrong, that's a minor divine ability, right?"

Wang Wang Zhixuan also blinked hard, feeling quite shaken as she said:

"Junior brother has become a big celebrity; I reckon the students of the entire school, and even all the martial universities in the country, will know about him."

……

On the arena, Lin Qi was not teleported back to the spectator stands.

The surrounding broken walls and ruins all began to dissipate, turning into a golden pedestal, and the minor divine ability on his body was terminated; the pain and injuries on his body were all restored.

His physical strength was also fully recovered; the battle he had just experienced felt like a hallucination.

Xu Xu Wenji's figure also shrank and arrived before Lin Qi, and it could be seen that in his hands, a trophy made entirely of red gold was slowly condensing.

Carved on it was his handsome appearance, wearing a combat suit and holding a spear in one hand.

"Student Lin Qi, congratulations on defeating Han Zhen and reaching the champion's position."

"Give us your champion's acceptance speech!"

After Xu Xu Wenji handed the trophy to Lin Qi, he said kindly, feeling more and more satisfied the more he looked at Lin Qi.

Lin Qi took the trophy and looked around at the spectator stands, which held nearly two million people.

His expression was calm, though his heart was a little excited, because he knew the champion's rewards would be very generous.

The National Freshman Competition, having lasted five days, was now considered over.

As a seeded player, he joined in the fourth round and fought his way through, overcoming every obstacle.

Mao Jia, Gong Hui, Wei Peng, Liang Liang Yuxin, Li Li Hanjiang, Han Zhen...

Not a single one of the players he defeated was weak.

He looked at everyone and finally spoke slowly:

"This championship is just the beginning!"

"As for the championship, I deserve it!"

"Clap clap clap!!"

These two short sentences displayed his powerful self-confidence, causing thunderous applause to erupt once again in the spectator stands.

In the spectator stands of Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda, Huo Hao Wanyang, Ao Feng, Duan Duan Chuchu, and others were also applauding.

He was simply too strong.

Everyone had been thoroughly convinced by Lin Qi.

From now on, among his peers, except for the geniuses of the Ten Academies, Lin Qi no longer had any opponents.

……

After the simple awards ceremony ended, the National Freshman Competition completely drew to a close.

Lin Qi returned to the spectator stands of Cangqiong Sixth Academy.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge is awesome!"

Jiang Tao leaned over, smiling and shouting loudly, as a group of people surrounded him, cheering.

……

Ten minutes later.

Inside the martial arts room, Lin Qi slowly walked out of the virtual pod.

He pressed his temples, feeling somewhat exhausted; fighting against experts consecutively was a huge drain on his mental energy.

He glanced at the time: 13:50.

From eight o'clock in the morning until the competition completely ended, several hours had passed.

"Xiao Chan, help me order a Level 4 nutritional meal!"

"Okay, Master!" The blue-clad Xiao Chan projected out.

Lin Qi took a tube of high-level enhancement potion, sat cross-legged, and projected his panel to begin reviewing.

Fighting against experts consecutively had also led to great improvements for him, and he cast his gaze onto the panel.

【You fought against top-tier geniuses Li Li Hanjiang and Han Zhen. During the intense battle, your mastery of spear techniques has improved. Spear Technique +5%】

【You fought against top-tier geniuses Li Li Hanjiang and Han Zhen. Your movement technique has improved. Movement Technique +5%】

【Spear Technique: Stage 3 13% -> 18%】

【Movement Technique: Stage 3 4% -> Stage 3 9%】

……

"Dean Liu was right; through intense clashes with geniuses, one can significantly improve their martial arts skills."

"The improvement over these few days is even greater than what I've achieved in several months."

Lin Qi looked at the prompts on the panel, feeling very satisfied in his heart.

He clenched his fists; the one who had made him feel the most pressure was Han Zhen.

"Han Zhen's physical fitness is about the same as mine, or even slightly worse, but his special force and saber art manual are much stronger than mine."

"His special force gives his ordinary moves huge destructive power, and the Silver-level saber art manual makes his methods of dealing with enemies much richer."

"If it weren't for my 'Mind's Eye' talent, I might have already been defeated when facing Han Zhen."

"'Mountain-Splitting', 'Meteor', and 'Diamond'—I have already reached the Great Completion Realm in these three spear art manuals. It's time to learn Silver-level manuals."

Lin Qi recorded this on the panel.

On the last line, he wrote: Minor Divine Ability!

"【Golden Golden Gangjin Transformation】 is even more powerful than I imagined. Once activated, my physical fitness explodes, and I defeated Han Zhen relying purely on physical strength."

"It's a pity that in the virtual world, I couldn't display the full power of the minor divine ability."

Lin Qi sighed inwardly; although using a minor divine ability was very strong, it could only simulate ninety percent of its power.

Even so, it was enough for him to blast any opponent away.

"I still cannot be arrogant; Han Zhen had his special ability banned."

"If there were no restrictions, and I fought him using my minor divine ability, it wouldn't necessarily be me who won." After a simple summary, he took out his phone to reply to messages sent by others while waiting for lunch.

……

Beijiang Province, Black Dragon War Base.

This is the front line for Beijiang Province to defend against the invasion of disaster beasts.

In a spacious hall, hundreds of white virtual pods were placed.

Many tall, burly martial artists exuding a thick murderous aura were coming and going.

"Hum!!"

A virtual pod slowly opened, and Mu Hong, dressed in black martial attire, slowly walked out.

"It's 'Blood Shadow Spear' Mu Hong!"

"He is a celebrity in our Black Dragon Base, a Seventh Realm expert, said to have hope of breaking through to an Eighth Realm martial artist."

People around him began to discuss in low voices after seeing Mu Hong.

!

"Old Mu!"

A burly, sturdy man exuding a terrifying aura walked toward him from not far away, his voice thick and loud.

"Old Mu, how do you have time to enter the Red Realm?"

The two walked out of the hall together, walking through a steel corridor that bore the traces of time.

At the same time, two metal spheres of different colors followed closely behind them.

Mu Hong said simply, "The National Freshman Competition; my disciple entered the finals, so I'm watching his last battle."

"That impressive? Did he win the championship?" the burly man asked curiously.

"The championship!" Mu Hong answered with a smile.

"Impressive, congratulations on finding a genius disciple!"

The burly man spoke to congratulate him; he had also participated in the National Freshman Competition and knew very well the gold content within it.

"I plan to return to school in a few days, and then I'll prepare to break through to the Eighth Realm."

Mu Hong said seriously.

After hearing this, the burly man said, "Although we will lose such a powerful Seventh Realm expert, once you break through, you can effectively reduce the pressure on our base."

"Whoo whoo~"

The two arrived on a high platform, and the cold wind blew against them.

It was a vast expanse of white snow, snowflakes drifting down, and the surroundings were a world of black steel.

"Booming!!"

"Roar~~"

At the same time, the roaring sound of machines and the angry roars of disaster beasts came from afar; that was a disaster beast tide erupting, and there wasn't a single moment of quiet.

The burly man lit a cigarette, and while puffing out smoke, he sighed with emotion:

"I originally thought that with decades of development, our Blue Star's overall martial arts strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, and we could already withstand the invasion of disaster beasts from another world."

"But in recent years, I've discovered that I was wrong!"

"The offensive from the other world is becoming increasingly fierce; disaster beasts are endless, high-level disaster beasts are everywhere, and they simply cannot be killed off."

"And our high-realm martial artists are far from enough; we need more high-realm martial artists."

"Seventh Realm, Eighth Realm, Ninth Realm!"

"Facing the powerful offensive of the disaster beasts, high-realm martial artists are the key."

"That is why I hope that the geniuses of our Blue Star, of our Xia Nation, can grow up as quickly as possible."

Mu Hong nodded after hearing this; he suddenly remembered his three disciples.

Li Qing and Wang Wang Zhixuan were both future Seventh Realm seedlings and also had the opportunity to break through to the Eighth Realm.

And Lin Qi, their disciple with the strongest talent at present—the Eighth Realm was already a certainty, and there was even a glimmer of hope for the Ninth Realm.

They were all the main force for defending against the disaster beast invasion in the future.

……

National Freshman Competition ends.

Lin Qi's name as champion spread with astonishing speed.

Students in their second, third, and even fourth year about to graduate from the thirty-six martial arts universities all knew that an astonishing genius had appeared at Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda.

Evening.

Cangqiong Sixth Academy, in the detached villa No. 01.

Lin Qi's detached villa was exceptionally lively at this moment; in the spacious living room, a large number of students from Cangqiong Sixth Academy had entered.

All kinds of delicacies: hot pot, barbecue, roast meat, grilled fish, large pot stews...

Everything had been transported from the cafeteria to the villa, and the air was filled with the aroma of various foods.

It wasn't just the students from the Sixth Academy; Huo Hao Wanyang, Ao Feng, Duan Duan Chuchu, Li Lei, the twin sisters Ruan Gu Qian and Ruan Yu, and other players from various academies had all come to congratulate Lin Qi.

"Lin Qi, congratulations on winning the championship!"

The burly Huo Hao Wanyang smiled and raised his glass to congratulate him; it was filled with white liquor, and after clinking glasses with Lin Qi, he drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Lin Qi also drank his in one gulp.

"Lin Qi, congratulations!" Ruan Gu Qian held a bottle of cola and also clinked glasses with Lin Qi.

Lin Qi clinked glasses with everyone one by one.

As time passed, his relationship with everyone also took a step closer.

After a few players chatted for a while, they left.

Only the people from the Sixth Academy remained, celebrating until 11 o'clock at night before finishing.

In the villa, everyone dispersed.

Only Lin Qi and Jiang Tao were left, the two of them eating hot pot together.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, congratulations on winning the championship!"

Jiang Tao raised his cola cup, clinked glasses with Lin Qi, and drank it in one gulp, then they enjoyed the hot pot together.

"Thanks to you, Lin Lin Qi Ge, for winning the championship, our Cangqiong Sixth Academy's total points are ranked in first place."

"Our cultivation time is also ranked first."

"And Lin Lin Qi Ge, since you won the championship, the rewards definitely won't be few."

Lin Qi nodded; the champion of the National Freshman Competition, with 1.5 million people competing—he was able to win until the end, so the rewards definitely wouldn't be few, and his rewards should be arriving by tomorrow.

"But I also have to work harder!" Jiang Tao also felt the pressure.

In this National Freshman Competition, he had advanced by leaps and bounds, but Lin Qi had improved even faster.

He had to find a way to upgrade to an S-level contract next, so as not to be left behind by Lin Qi.
