……

Looking at the dense array of data on the golden panel, a surge of pride suddenly welled up in Lin Qi's heart.

It had been nearly two years, and the improvement in his martial strength was immense!

From an ordinary student to the strongest among his peers, it had taken him less than two years.

"My current Qi and Blood value is only 153 points away from the Fifth Realm, and the tempering of the bones in my torso is more than half complete."

"If I consume more resources, I can improve even further."

Lin Qi nodded secretly, his gaze finally falling on the template fusion level.

【Fusion Level: 24.7%】

……

"Only 0.3% left, and my special ability will soon awaken."

"There is only one way to increase the fusion level, and that is to cultivate continuously."

Lin Qi made a rough calculation; it was May now, and school would be out in June.

The national martial arts universities start their term on July 15th.

If nothing unexpected happens, he would likely awaken his special ability within these two and a half months.

"No need to rush, just let nature take its course!"

"Next is to make some purchases for cultivation!"

"Xiao Chan, open the Red Dome Home!"

"Understood, Master!"

The black-haired Xiao Chan projected a large red screen in front of Lin Qi.

He entered the 【Shopping Module】 with practiced ease.

Now that he had money, he could purchase more resources.

"Blue Star doesn't have rich source energy, nor does it have 24-hour 3x gravity!"

"There are only gravity rooms; to break through quickly, I must rely on cultivation resources!"

Lin Qi clicked on the bone-tempering liquid and purchased ten portions in a row, then suddenly thought that he could buy better cultivation resources.

So he started searching again, and soon the page refreshed, showing a new potion.

【Item: Top-Grade Bone-Tempering Liquid】

【Effect: A more potent potion refined from bone-tempering liquid, capable of significantly increasing the efficiency of bone tempering.】

【Price: 10 million/bottle】

……

So expensive!

Lin Qi was shocked after seeing the price; one could tell its effectiveness just from the 10 million per bottle price tag.

It was four times the price of ordinary bone-tempering liquid!

He wondered if the effect was four times as good.

Previously, he didn't dare to buy it because he needed to keep enough money in reserve.

But now it was different.

"I'll buy five bottles to test the effect!"

Lin Qi placed an order for five bottles immediately, then looked at the Spirit-Nourishing Potion and Mental Potion, placing orders for those as well.

【Student Lin Qi, do you wish to purchase bone-tempering liquid, top-grade bone-tempering liquid, Spirit-Nourishing Potion, and Mental Potion?】

【The total price of the items you are purchasing is 125 million. Since you enjoy a 40% discount, the final payment required is 75 million Xia Guo coins!】

【Beep!】

【Fingerprint verification successful!】

【Payment successful!】

【Student Lin Qi, the items you purchased will be delivered to your door within tomorrow!】

……

Lin Qi watched the 75 million Xia Guo coins being deducted, his heart bleeding; he had spent too much money this time. Another massive hemorrhage.

With a net worth of nearly 200 million, deducting the 50 million for the Water of Regeneration, and then spending 75 million Xia Guo coins.

He only had 70 million Xia Guo coins left!

"The stronger the strength, the more money spent."

"The money spent today is enough to satisfy my cultivation for the next month."

Lin Qi calculated secretly in his heart; the resources purchased this time were enough to elevate his strength by another large margin.

……

The next day, April 3rd.

On the roads of the Cangqiong Sixth Academy.

"Brother Qi, only us freshmen are in the teaching buildings these past two days."

"Because the sophomores, juniors, and seniors have all gone to participate in the Global Martial Arts Tournament!"

"I went to watch it too, it was truly spectacular……"

On a silver electric train, Jiang Tao spoke with excitement about the martial arts tournament he had watched.

Lin Qi nodded; they, the freshmen, had the Global Freshman Tournament.

The sophomores, juniors, and seniors also had competitions to let the geniuses compete and promote martial arts progress.

It's just that it's no longer a separate event prepared for one grade, but rather gathering students from all three grades for one event.

Which is the grandest tournament on Blue Star currently—the Global Martial Arts Tournament!

The strength of the contestants is stronger than the Freshman Tournament, even much stronger!

Lin Qi would also participate in the Global Martial Arts Tournament next year, and his opponents would no longer be his peers.

But top-tier SS-level geniuses who are one, two, or even three years ahead of him.

So he wouldn't be lacking opponents in the future.

"Student Lin Qi, your delivery!"

After saying goodbye to Jiang Tao, Lin Qi returned to his villa.

At the entrance, the delivery he purchased yesterday had also been delivered.

"Beep!"

After verification was successful, Lin Qi carried two metal boxes into the villa and went to his martial arts room.

After changing into a martial arts uniform, he simply opened the two metal boxes.

Revealing potions of different colors contained within.

There were only four types of potions, and Lin Qi's gaze locked onto the five bottles of potion.

The deep green liquid was the ordinary bone-tempering liquid, while the other five bottles contained liquid that was also green.

Except it emitted a black luster; it was green to the point of being black, and had its own name—Black Jade. The liquid was crystal clear, looking like a solidified substance.

He took out one of the bottles of top-grade bone-tempering liquid.

Then he put the metal box aside, opened the bottle cap, and drank it in one gulp.

He intended to try the effect of the top-grade bone-tempering liquid directly.

"Gulp~"

As the top-grade bone-tempering liquid entered his stomach, a bitter taste spread across the tip of his tongue.

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi dropped the empty bottle and began to move his body on the spot.

"Crack, crack!"

His bone joints rotated, making sounds, and an invisible humming sound echoed in the air.

That was his body vibrating, like a high-precision machine undergoing calibration.

!

The aura on his body also became increasingly fierce.

He picked up the Tiger Sha Great Spear; the 500-jin weight felt quite heavy in his hand, and his arms bore more pressure.

"Hoo, hoo~"

"Shoo, shoo!!"

He began to perform the "Mountain Shaking Spear Art".

His body moved suddenly, starting up instantly; Qi and blood surged, and his powerful body rubbed against the air, kicking up a gust of wind.

"Puff~" "Swish~"

The great spear swung, fifteen moves connected one after another, the momentum was majestic, and the style was domineering.

Every move released could create different sounds in the air.

At the same time, the top-grade bone-tempering liquid he had consumed began to take effect.

After the bone-tempering liquid entered his body, he could clearly feel streams of heat passing through his stomach, internal organs, and straight into his bones.

"Hoo!"

His body began to heat up and burn, and his entire skeletal frame was wrapped in a stream of heat.

Especially the torso area, which had not finished tempering, was at the highest temperature.

Hot!

Lin Qi felt as if a blacksmith had started a furnace and was performing high-temperature tempering on steel.

"Hiss~"

Lin Qi exhaled a breath, feeling a tingling sensation in his torso, covering every corner.

It affected his concentration!

"Shoo, shoo!!"

Lin Qi still did not stop training, letting training and tempering combine, the effect was stronger.

He controlled the 500-kilogram Tiger Sha Great Spear, stabbing out precisely and continuously!

Because the tingling sensation in his body affected his conscious control, he had to concentrate even more to be precise.

It was also a disguised way of improving his mastery of the spear art.

Lin Qi was multitasking; in the gaps of controlling the long spear, he was also paying attention to the changes in his body.

He could feel his bones being polished and tempered like blunt objects, revealing their original sharpness; the density of the bones was increasing, and the hardness was significantly improved.

It was just like a peerless weapon being forged.

He suddenly thought of Xiang Long and that group of geniuses who had awakened special abilities.

The so-called special ability is an ability in the genes; once awakened, it will cause changes from every part of the body.

A special transformation occurs; it can be said that every part of them is more special and powerful than other martial artists because they have already been tainted with the characteristics of the ability.

The bones among them are the same.

If they choose a compatible intermediate source energy cultivation art to cast bones, they possess astonishing advantages.

The progress is also faster!

The probability of them completing bone casting is also higher than that of S-level geniuses.

"My current bone casting speed is already very fast."

"Once I awaken and let my body undergo transformation again, my bone-tempering progress will soar instantly."

"The Sha Tiger Bone might be cast at the fastest speed."

Lin Qi had a premonition that once awakened, his strength might have an explosive increase.

The Fifth Realm might not be far away!

However, what he needed to do now was to lay a good foundation bit by bit and quietly wait for the day of awakening.

……

Two hours later, in the quiet martial arts room.

"Hoo, hoo!!"

"Shoo~ shoo~"

Lin Qi gritted his teeth and adjusted his breathing, forming gusts of breeze through his nose.

Beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and his body inevitably began to tremble.

The stabbing of the spear art in his hand also became increasingly slow.

Lin Qi felt the tingling sensation in his body gradually fading until it dissipated completely.

The effect of one bottle of top-grade bone-tempering liquid had been used up, completing its mission.

"Ha!"

Lin Qi let out a loud shout, his body vibrated, power surged out, bones vibrated, and bursts of majestic force condensed instantly.

His eyes narrowed, feeling the majestic force surging within his body, injecting it into the Tiger Sha Great Spear.

"Hum, hum!!"

The spear body emitted a roaring sound, the metal resonance within condensed the force like a sharp arrow, stabbing out along the sharp spear tip.

"Shoo!"

"Hoo!!"

The spear tip pierced through the air, forming a white wave of air that spread to the surroundings, and strong winds blew into every corner of the martial arts room.

The sweat beads splashed from Lin Qi's body were torn apart by the strong wind.

Feeling the powerful force strike out, he knew he had become stronger again.

【You consumed top-grade bone-tempering liquid, bone-tempering efficiency significantly improved, torso area fully tempered, Sha Tiger Bone progress accelerated, Qi and Blood value +15】

【Through arduous training, your mastery of the spear art has improved, Spear Art +1%】

【Qi and Blood Value: 250→265】

【Spear Art: Stage Three 70%→Stage Three 71%】

……

Lin Qi's eyes lit up with joy after seeing the increased Qi and Blood value.

"The Qi and Blood value actually increased by 15 points directly!"

"Although the effect is greatest the first time, the effect is still stronger than imagined."

"As expected of top-grade bone-tempering liquid, the effect is much stronger than ordinary bone-tempering liquid!"

Lin Qi felt that this 10 million was well spent!
