Chapter 283: Intermediate Source Energy Technique (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

As soon as Lin Qi said this.

The air instantly went quiet.

Jiang Tao's brain fell into a state of blankness for a moment.

Then, coming back to his senses, shock surged into his heart, and he stared wide-eyed at the earnest-looking Lin Qi in front of him.

"What?"

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, what did you say? Can you say that again?"

Even the usually emotionally stable Guanshan had a drastic change in expression; he blinked and asked:

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, have you already succeeded in the fusion of Force and Source Energy?"

"Then, now that you've broken through to the Fourth Realm, doesn't that mean you can achieve Force projection?"

The three looked at Lin Qi, only to see him nod and say:

"That should be correct. At the time, I needed to purchase the 'Mountain-Shaking Spear Art' and wanted to strengthen my control over Force to master the Mountain-Shaking Force."

"As a result, I suddenly thought of the fusion of Force and Source Energy, and this move succeeded. I also successfully mastered the Mountain-Shaking Force!"

Lin Qi said this in a relaxed tone.

Jiang Tao and the other two felt as if they had suffered a critical hit.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, you skipped a step. There is still a step in the middle for controlling the changes in Force, and you just jumped right over it."

"And I remember, Lin Lin Qi Ge, you seemed to have mastered the Mountain-Shaking Force in just two days!" Wang Qiufeng suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao and Guanshan fell silent again.

It was truly too discouraging; compared to Lin Qi, they felt like three idiots.

Lin Qi shook his head and said: "It's not as exaggerated as you think. I hadn't broken through to Bone Tempering at the time, so the difficulty of fusing muscle-generated Force with Source Energy wasn't high."

"Now, if I want to master Force projection, I reckon I'll need to spend a bit more time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao and the other two felt that it was indeed the case, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Ten-plus minutes later, the group parted ways.

After Lin Qi finished a simple lunch, he returned to his own Martial Path Room.

He had Xiao Chan project the content of Liu Ran's lecture.

He himself took notes on the side.

The content Liu Ran covered today was quite substantial; he needed to watch it again to deepen his impression and understanding.

Fourth Realm Bone Tempering is already in the category of Mid-Realm martial artists; it is a heaven-turning and earth-shattering change, with huge alterations in every aspect.

First is the change in Qi-Blood Value; one needs 300 Qi-Blood Value to advance to the Fifth Realm.

No wonder the Fourth Realm is the standard for graduation. If one had to reach the Fifth Realm to graduate, more than half of the students wouldn't be able to reach it in their four years of university and wouldn't be able to graduate at all.

Then there is the change in Force; Force projection is the hallmark of the Fourth Realm.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi lowered his hands.

He clenched his fists, his body muscles exerted force, and his mental power was highly concentrated, feeling the flow of Force within his body.

After breaking through to the Fourth Realm yesterday, while practicing the Source Energy technique, he had already felt that his body had undergone changes.

Skin, muscle, and tendon—the three body parts tempered in the Low Realm were already perfected, completing the basic training of the body.

He exerted force again, and the Force flowed through his body like running water.

His Mind's Eye talent allowed his perception to continuously penetrate into his bones, making the entire interior of his body "seen" more clearly.

The skin, muscles, tendons, and bones all vibrated simultaneously the moment he exerted force.

Among them, the vibration of the bones also produced Force; the bones were exerting force.

Waves of even more majestic Force were conceived and roamed through every part of his body.

"Sure enough, the Force condensed within the body has become greater."

Lin Qi clenched his fist and sensed it earnestly; he felt that he could now condense even more majestic Force to imbue into his weapon, making its power even stronger.

"Boom!!"

Lin Qi clenched his fist and swung it out like a cannonball; his body suddenly exerted force, and then he blasted it out violently.

With one punch, a muffled sound erupted in the air.

Then, he hooked his palms into claws and began practicing the Tiger Form Fist from the Five Form Fists; he had practiced this fist technique from the beginning to the end.

Even though he had changed to several spear arts, his fist technique remained the Tiger Form Fist.

Every move and style had long been practiced into his tiger marrow; as he threw the moves, he truly seemed to transform into a fierce tiger.

"Boom!!"

Now, practicing the Tiger Form Fist again, it was both familiar and strange; his body exerted force and channeled power, tendons and bones chimed together, and muscles vibrated.

Even the surface of his skin was vibrating minutely; waves of Force turned from trickling streams into surging, massive waves.

For a moment, he was actually unable to fully control the expanding Force.

"Sure enough, the condensed Force is like a stream turning into a waterfall, even more majestic and full of impact."

While practicing the fist technique, Lin Qi continuously adapted to the changes occurring in his body.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Punch after punch was thrown out, the air exploded; Force formed between the bones and was projected through the fists, with full piercing power.

The sound of the explosions also became crisper.

Lin Qi sank his consciousness into his body to feel the changes in Force; besides this, he also discovered that the Source Energy particles within his body had increased.

Once his body moved violently and vibrated, these Source Energy particles were like dust on a shaking blanket, splashing everywhere.

There was no order at all; they stopped wherever they drifted.

They all gathered in every corner of the body—between tendons and muscles, in the joints of muscles and bones, and within muscles and organs; there were remnants everywhere.

Among them, a portion was slowly being absorbed by the body.

"Could it be that I absorbed too much Source Energy yesterday?"

Lin Qi secretly guessed; after breaking through to the Fourth Realm, the Source Energy absorbed also became greater, but the appetite of the body's cells still had a limit.

Too much Source Energy, and since the body couldn't consume it, it remained behind, wandering in the body.

"Boom!"

Lin Qi exerted force with his muscles, wanting to try to control these Source Energy particles, but discovered the difficulty was exceptionally high!

The Source Energy particles had increased, and the difficulty of controlling them had also increased. And the difficulty of wanting to fuse them with Force and release them outside the body was gradually increasing as well.

……

Several hours later.

"Boom, boom!!"

Inside the spacious Martial Path Room,

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi took a deep breath, his body vibrated, and all the sweat beads on his skin were shaken into the air.

Lin Qi's eyes lit up; controlling his body muscles and Source Energy vibration, he directed his body muscles, power, and Source Energy to gather.

He let the Force condense into a flowing vortex, wrapping the Source Energy within it, and quickly roamed it through his body.

The Source Energy fused with the Force within the water vortex.

He controlled them to gather in his arms, channeling power into his fingertips.

!

Seizing the momentary gap, he then slapped out with his tiger claws in one breath.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, Lin Qi could clearly feel waves of Force being released from within his body, detaching from his fingertips like a stream of water being blasted out.

The air exploded, and the sweat beads splashed into the air were hit by the Force cluster, violently exploding and turning into countless sand-sized particles that scattered all over the floor.

Lin Qi retracted his fist, his eyes lighting up; he had succeeded!

On the golden panel, several messages also popped up.

【You have comprehended the method of Force projection through continuous practice of the Five Form Fist technique; your fist technique has had a breakthrough, Fist Technique +5%】

【Fist Technique: Third Stage 50% → 55%】

……

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi revealed a smile:

"It seems my comprehension really isn't just for show; in less than a day, I've mastered the method of Force projection."

He was also very surprised that he had actually re-mastered the method of fusing Force and Source Energy in less than a day.

Although the method was very crude, he had indeed learned it and could achieve the feat of letting the Force leave his body and exist independently in the air.

He circulated his body and discovered that a portion of the Source Energy had been blasted out along with the Force.

The number of remaining Source Energy particles was still very high.

"This is just the beginning; what I need to do next is to fuse it into weapons, which is even higher in difficulty."

"At the same time, I also need to find a way to make the Force flow more precisely."

Lin Qi already knew the direction for his next training; for spear arts, what needs to be done is to practice the fusion of Force and Source Energy well, and the power of the moves will increase by a large margin out of thin air.

……

The next day.

In the top-floor office of the Cangqiong Sixth Academy's Cangjing Building.

Lin Qi sat on a soft blue sofa, with Lu Wei sitting opposite him; compared to when she enrolled a few months ago, she had already shed the temperament of a student.

She had completely integrated into the identity of a counselor.

Her movements were skillful as she busied herself at the tea table.

Liu Yuanzhang was feeding the various colored fish in the fish tank.

"Lin Qi, I didn't expect you to break through to the Fourth Realm so quickly."

"You have created another record."

"In the decades of history of our Cangqiong Sixth Academy, including those who awakened special abilities midway."

"The fastest they broke through was at the end of March; you are a full month faster than them."

Liu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at Lin Qi, emitting a sound of admiration.

Lu Wei also smiled and said: "Except for the three or four people in the Tenth Academy who have already broken through to the Fourth Realm, everyone else is lagging behind you."

Lin Qi nodded; according to calculations, those who should have broken through to the Fourth Realm were Pei Jiu, Xiang Long, and their group.

As for Yu Zhuoran, he had already broken through to the Fourth Realm; in half a month, who knows how much his Qi-Blood Value had broken through.

Liu Yuanzhang sat down, took the brewed hot tea, and slowly said:

"Lin Qi, since you have already broken through to the Fourth Realm, with your bones, muscles, and flesh exerting force, and your Force greatly increased, you need to control them to fuse with Force and master Force projection."

Lin Qi also took the hot tea at the same time and said: "I have already mastered Force projection!"

"Pfft~"

The tea in Liu Yuanzhang's mouth, who was drinking tea, sprayed out.

"Cough~"

He wiped his mouth with a tissue in a bit of embarrassment and said: "Choked!"

Then he looked at Lin Qi and said: "I didn't expect you to master it so quickly."

"What you need to do next is to continue to control the Force and let it fuse into the long spear and spear art moves."

Lin Qi nodded and said: "Understood!"

At this time, Lu Wei spoke up: "Besides the changes in martial arts, if you want your Qi-Blood Value to break through faster, you need to learn a new Source Energy technique."

"That is, an Intermediate Source Energy Technique; you are a top-tier genius, so naturally, you should learn a five-star rated technique."

"Intermediate Source Energy Techniques, four-star rated, are based on Level 8 Calamity Beasts as prototypes, just going a step further on the original foundation."

"The training speed will improve, but not by much."

"Only five-star rated techniques are different; that is a Source Energy technique of another level."

"Because the prototypes for training are all Level 9 (King-level) Calamity Beasts, which are the most top-tier existences among Calamity Beasts."

"They correspond to our human Ninth Realm martial artists; they are completely on another level."

Lin Qi sipped the hot tea and nodded; the 'Golden Gangjin Tiger Evolution Method' he practiced in the Low Realm, the Golden Gangjin Tiger was a Level 8 Calamity Beast.

And now that he had broken through to the Mid-Realm, the object of his visualization naturally had to be upgraded to a Level 9 Calamity Beast.

Level 9 Calamity Beasts are also called King-level Calamity Beasts; one doesn't even need to think to know that Source Energy techniques based on them have even more powerful training effects.
