Chapter 354: Future Goals (Seeking Monthly Votes)

In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.

This day, in the Cangqiong Sixth Academy dormitory area, sophomore zone, in a certain luxury villa.

In the spacious living room with a Chinese classical decoration style, a sumptuous meal was laid out on a brown dining table.

Three figures sat opposite each other.

"Junior brother, because I had to participate in the competition these past few days, I didn't attend your party!"

"Today, I specially made up for it for you!"

Li Qing, who had a scholarly air and handsome features, raised the wine glass in his hand and said.

Wang Zhixuan also smiled and said: "Today, let's just celebrate simply among the three of us!"

"Cheers!"

"Clink!"

Lin Qi also smiled and raised his wine glass; after the three of them clinked glasses simply, they each drank it in one gulp.

The wine they drank was not ordinary wine, but wine containing source energy.

While ensuring a mellow taste, drinking it also had a beneficial effect on tempering the body.

But the price was not cheap; ordinary martial artists couldn't afford to drink it at all.

Lin Qi had money, but he wouldn't spend it on wine; he would rather purchase resources with better cultivation effects.

Only Li Qing, who came from a wealthy family, could afford it.

At this time, Lin Qi, after finishing a glass, felt his body slightly warm, with a warm feeling enveloping his internal organs.

Halfway through the meal, Li Qing had drunk quite a bit of wine, his cheeks slightly red as he shook his head and said:

"The Global Martial Arts Tournament is really unfair to us sophomore students!"

"Our opponents are all junior and senior geniuses; with my strength, I can't beat them at all."

"Why not design a competition specifically for each grade?" Li Qing complained.

Wang Zhixuan also explained from the side: "It is said that as time passes, the gap between martial artists becomes larger and larger."

"For many top-tier geniuses of the same grade, the competitive effect is no longer enough."

"And holding them separately is also very troublesome and difficult to arrange."

"So they simply gathered students from the sophomore, junior, and senior grades together to hold a large-scale tournament."

Wang Zhixuan said this, took a sip of wine, and continued:

"The Global Martial Arts Tournament can be said to be the grandest tournament on our Blue Star!"

"Geniuses are like clouds inside, and experts are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river!"

"Not only are there S-level students approaching their senior year, but there are also awakened S-level geniuses, and even more powerful SS-level geniuses."

"There are even SSS-level geniuses standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid participating."

"There is always a mountain higher than another; an A-level contestant of my level wouldn't even be able to make a splash if I joined."

Lin Qi was surprised: "There are even SSS-level geniuses participating?"

Li Qing said after hearing this: "Yes, it's very normal!"

"Our Blue Star divides geniuses into seven levels, D-level is the lowest, and SSS-level is the highest!"

"The number of SSS-level geniuses is extremely rare, like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns; even with our Xia Guo gathering geniuses, there are several SS-level geniuses every year."

"But for SSS-level geniuses, out of millions of martial arts geniuses a year, one might not even be born."

Lin Qi nodded; SSS-level geniuses are indeed too rare.

Each one is a martial artist with a 90% probability of breaking through to the Ninth Realm Title Level.

The other 10% is because of accidents and premature death.

And even if they become Ninth Realm martial artists, they are extremely powerful existences among them.

Even if they appear, they are hidden, and not many ordinary people will know of their existence.

Wang Zhixuan nodded and said: "The Global Martial Arts Tournament is a true martial arts contest without any restrictions."

"Physical fitness, martial arts, small divine powers, and awakened special abilities can all be used."

"It's very fair; to win the championship, you rely purely on strength."

"It is a stage belonging to the top-tier SS-level geniuses and SSS-level geniuses of the senior year!"

"We ordinary geniuses are just cannon fodder in the competition."

Lin Qi exhaled a breath after hearing this.

The SS-level geniuses of the senior year are geniuses of Yu Zhuoran's level.

After four years of cultivation, it's hard to imagine how powerful they would be.

And there are SSS-level geniuses, who are even more terrifying existences.

And he would also participate next year.

"Junior brother, next year and the year after, you just go to gain some experience."

"When you are a senior, you can sweep the Global Martial Arts Tournament."

"Even if it's an SSS-level genius, you don't have to be afraid!"

Li Qing smiled confidently and said.

Wang Zhixuan shook her head and said: "It won't take three years, two years is enough; when junior brother is a junior, I guess he will be able to make it into the top 32!"

"Junior brother is different from others!"

Li Qing nodded: "Junior brother is a peerless genius, maybe he can even make it into the top 16!"

Lin Qi smiled and said nothing on the side; three years, two years?

Too long, he couldn't wait that long!

One year is enough!

……

Lin Qi, who returned from Senior Brother Li Qing's villa, entered his own martial arts room after a simple rest.

His physical fitness was strong, and drinking wine would almost have no effect on him.

He simply changed into a martial arts uniform, felt the burning heat in his body, and began to cultivate the spear art.

With the help of the wine's effect, he could elevate his strength one step further.

"Global Martial Arts Tournament, SSS-level genius, special ability……!"

"Shoo~ shoo~"

The 500-kilogram heavy spear pierced through the air, kicking up gusts of fierce wind.

Lin Qi remembered the words of Senior Brother Li Qing and Senior Sister Wang Zhixuan today.

He roughly knew what his goal for the next semester, which was his sophomore year, was.

There were many opponents in the future, and he needed to become even more powerful!

……

Time in May passed very quickly; in the blink of an eye, it was June 1st, Children's Day.

There were only three days left until the final assessment.

Cangqiong Sixth Academy, in the tiered classroom of Class One.

Teacher Tong, wearing glasses, walked in the middle of the classroom and smiled:

"The day after tomorrow, the final assessment for our freshmen's second semester will begin!"

"It is also the time to test everyone's cultivation success for the semester."

"Like last semester, everyone's grades will be ranked."

"Students with high rankings will receive generous scholarships!"

"Ding-a-ling!!"

"Alright, class dismissed!"

"Whoosh!" Following Teacher Tong's announcement of dismissal after hearing the bell.

The entire classroom also erupted in noise.

"Go, go, go, back to cultivate!"

"My usage time for the gravity room is up, I can only go back to the dormitory to cultivate."

"This time I must get the scholarship!"

Everyone stood up and walked towards the door, discussing.

Lin Qi also stood up and walked downstairs with Jiang Tao and others.

"Brother Qi, I just came back from another world; I have to say, this money was well spent."

On the way back, Jiang Tao sat on the electric train with excitement.

Others looked at Jiang Tao with envy; they also wanted to enter another world like Jiang Tao.

But they hadn't broken through to the Fourth Realm yet, so they could only wait until next semester.

!

Jiang Tao had won a large sum of prize money from the Global Freshman Tournament, plus the prize money brought by the increasingly high level in the Disaster Beast Trial Tower.

He gritted his teeth and exchanged for the opportunity to go to another world to cultivate intermediate source energy cultivation arts.

And using the environment of another world, he completed the cultivation in 20 days.

According to him, he only spent 16 days in the pyramid to successfully cultivate, and then stayed to continue absorbing the source energy inside for cultivation.

Now, a huge transformation had occurred in his strength.

Lin Qi watched; the other person's Qi and blood were vigorous, and his whole body emitted a fierce aura.

His whole body exuded confidence; that was the confidence possessed after tempering the bones.

"Taozi is about to rise!"

"Maybe he can directly enter the top three among freshmen!" Others discussed.

"Taozi, continue to cultivate these two days, maybe you can challenge the top three."

Lin Qi also encouraged.

"That's for sure!" Jiang Tao laughed.

……

A few minutes later, everyone returned to their dormitories to cultivate.

And Lin Qi returned to his villa, where two portions of level-four nutritional meals were placed on the table.

After the meal, he went directly into the martial arts room.

"Master, you have a message!"

The black-haired, blue-clothed Xiao Chan projected a large green screen, and there was an arrival text message.

【Student Lin Qi, you performed excellently in the Disaster Beast Trial Tower in May, ranking first in the Cangqiong Sixth Academy; our school will award you a prize of 5 million Xia Guo coins!】

【Because you ranked first among freshmen, our school will award you a prize of 8 million Xia Guo coins!】

【Because you ranked first in the Tenth Academy, our school will award you a prize of 20 million Xia Guo coins!】

……

Lin Qi nodded; it was the reward from the Disaster Beast Trial Tower that had arrived.

Missing the reward for the first clearance, he didn't successfully pass the seventh floor of the trial tower this month.

This time there was only a reward of 33 million Xia Guo coins.

He was also very satisfied with this reward.

"This final assessment is also very critical for me, because the scholarship is very generous."

"I also need to supplement a large amount of money to maintain cultivation for the next semester."

Thinking of this, Lin Qi looked at his own golden panel again.

【Name: Lin Qi】

【Template: Erlang Zhenjun · Yang Jian】

【Template Fusion Level: 24.8%】

【Mental Strength: 315 (Fourth Realm)】

【Qi and Blood Value: 299 (Fourth Realm)】

【Fist Technique: Stage Three 85%】

【Spear Technique: Stage Three 79%】

【Body Technique: Stage Three 75%】

……

This was his harvest for a month; mental strength broke through 300 first.

But as the torso area reached a critical moment, the efficiency of Qi and Blood value actually decreased, only reaching 299 until now.

And the improvement speed of fist technique, spear technique, and body technique also slowed down.

Even so, in the eyes of others, his progress was shocking enough.

"The Disaster Beast Trial Tower is still ranked first; Yu Zhuoran has already been surpassed by me in this regard."

"Only the Qi and Blood value is different!"

"I want to get the first place among freshmen; the scholarship will definitely be more than I imagined."

"My Qi and Blood value still needs to be improved; let's break through to the late stage of the Fourth Realm today!"

Thinking of this, Lin Qi changed into a black martial arts uniform.

Then he opened the metal cabinet next to him, took out the last bottle of top-grade bone-tempering liquid, and consumed it.

The black jade-like liquid entered his mouth, and along with the bitter taste, it entered his stomach.

"Hoo~"

Then Lin Qi took down the Tiger Sha Great Spear and began to perform the spear art.

The 500-kilogram heavy spear could already be skillfully used by him to perform the "Mountain Shaking Spear Art".

"Shoo, shoo!!"

As the spear stabbed out, it also swung in a circle; all fifteen moves had the shadows of the previous "Mountain Crushing Spear Art" and "Mountain Splitting Spear Art".

He had already practiced the moves into his marrow.

The difficulty of using force was also getting higher and higher.

It might take a long time to break through to the late stage of Stage Three.

Even a genius like Wang Zhixuan only completed the breakthrough at the end of her junior year.

He also needed a considerable amount of time.

"Perhaps, I can learn another new artistic conception-level secret manual for reference!" Lin Qi suddenly thought.

Just then, the top-grade bone-tempering liquid in his body began to take effect.

A tingling sensation in the torso area.

He calmed his heart and felt the changes in his bones.

Compared to a month ago, his body bones had undergone huge changes.

Most of them had become smooth and round.
