Chapter 359: Beijiang Crisis (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Bone tempering in the Fourth Realm is divided into four realms: early stage, mid-stage, late stage, and peak.

It mainly involves tempering three parts of the body's bones: limbs, torso, and skull!

The tempering difficulty is also from easy to hard, with the skull being the hardest.

The skull involves a martial artist's brain and requires more delicate tempering.

It cannot be tempered violently; improper operation can easily cause damage to the brain, and recovery is also very troublesome.

So most genius martial artists break through to the Fourth Realm.

The tempering speed is still very fast, and they can soon break through to the late stage, with Qi and Blood value reaching 300.

But finally, to 400 Qi and Blood value, these 100 Qi and Blood values will improve exceptionally slowly.

And among the cultivation methods, source energy cultivation is safe, adopting a tempering method that moistens things silently.

And using bone-tempering liquid, the tempering method is more domineering.

"Hum, hum!!"

Lin Qi now felt his brain buzzing, and the top-grade bone-tempering liquid passed through his body organs and went straight to his brain.

It started a little bit of forging; this feeling was like a band playing a symphony in his brain.

The skull was constantly polished, and during the whole process, Lin Qi only felt dizziness, discomfort, and constant stimulation of sensitive nerves.

He didn't stop to rest, but endured it hard.

Many genius martial artists couldn't bear the pain of this pass, would choose to stop and rest, or even be unwilling to use bone-tempering liquid, but use source energy cultivation to grind slowly.

But for Lin Qi, this bit of pain was nothing.

As a martial artist, suffering a bit of hardship is normal.

Others say his talent is formidable; his talent is indeed strong, but it also includes his hard work.

What he can do is to make his hard work match his talent.

"Hum, hum!!"

The whole brain heated up, the bone-tempering liquid took effect, letting the skull undergo transformation bit by bit, becoming hard.

It was becoming stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed!

【You consumed top-grade bone-tempering liquid, started tempering the skull, Sha Tiger Bone progress +1, Qi and Blood value +6】

【Qi and Blood Value: 312→318】

……

Lin Qi opened his eyes, rubbed his temples, and smiled at the increase in Qi and Blood value.

Although the cultivation process was very painful, the increase in Qi and Blood value was also huge.

The only drawback was that as he consumed more and more top-grade bone-tempering liquid, the effect began to decline gradually.

The body seemed to have developed drug resistance, but its price did not change at all.

Lin Qi calculated secretly; to cast the Sha Tiger Bone, in the subsequent cultivation, he might need more top-grade bone-tempering liquid.

And after breaking through 390 Qi and Blood value, he estimates he will need more resources.

By then, it will be another huge expenditure.

……

Martial Arts Era 2047, June 7th.

It was another year of college entrance exams, and all the hot topics in Xia Guo's news were related to the college entrance exam.

The martial arts students in the college entrance exam every year are future martial artists and the hope of Xia Guo.

And news about the battlefield was all hidden, and it was not the focus of people's attention.

At the same time, Jiang Miaoyin also started her college entrance exam.

June 8th.

"Ding-a-ling!!"

At the entrance of the Eighth Middle School, as the bell rang, countless examinees ran out excitedly.

"It's over!"

"Graduated, finally can have a good rest!"

"I want to sleep for three days and three nights!"

Looking at the relaxed expressions of the high school examinees, Lin Qi also fell into memories; he was one of them last year.

In the blink of an eye, he was no longer a freshman student; in July, he would be a sophomore senior, and among the students in front of him, there might be his junior brothers and sisters.

"Brother!"

"Lin Lin Qi Ge!"

Jiang Miaoyin, wearing a loose white sportswear, came out bouncing and laughing.

"How was it, A-Miao?" Jiang Tao asked. Jiang Miaoyin raised her head confidently: "Easy, this time the Cang Province top graduate is none other than me!"

"Powerful!" Lin Qi nodded.

"A-Miao is really powerful!" Mom Fang Huiyi praised.

"Let's go, let's go out and eat something good to celebrate." Dad Lin Zhen said with a smile.

So the five of them went to celebrate happily.

In the next few days, while waiting, news about the battlefield reappeared, and there was news of martial artists sacrificing everywhere.

Lin Qi felt from the news that the situation in the country was getting worse and worse.

But he couldn't do anything now, he could only cultivate harder.

He consumed bone-tempering liquid every day, and his Qi and Blood value improved every day.

As time passed, he felt more and more that the awakening of his special ability was getting closer and closer.

!

……

June 15th, the national college entrance exam results were out.

11:00 AM.

In Villa No. 70, Jiang Miaoyin and Jiang Tao looked at their phones excitedly and nervously.

The air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

When the time came, Jiang Miaoyin immediately logged into the official website to check her results; a moment later, the subject grades and rankings appeared in the sight of Jiang Miaoyin and Jiang Tao.

"Tianhai City top graduate!"

"Cang Province top graduate!"

"National 26th place!"

Jiang Tao looked at the rankings one by one, his expression becoming exceptionally excited.

"A-Miao, you are the Cang Province top graduate, my sister is the Cang Province top graduate."

"I am the Cang Province top graduate!"

Jiang Miaoyin rolled on the sofa happily, then climbed up from the sofa with a swoosh.

"I have to tell Lin Lin Qi Ge, and Uncle and Auntie this good news!"

Saying that, she notified Lin Qi of the good news.

On the other side, Lin Qi, who had just finished cultivation, congratulated Jiang Miaoyin over the phone.

There were 28 S-level geniuses in the country this year, and Jiang Miaoyin ranked 26th, which was very good.

His starting point is already much stronger than his brother Jiang Tao's; once he enters the Firmament Martial University, it won't be long before he can challenge for the national freshman tournament championship.

……

June 15th, after the national results came out, three days later, they began to fill in their preferences.

At the same time, the global situation was getting worse and worse, and the strongest Xia Guo was not spared.

"According to our station's news, the Cang Province coastal base has continuously erupted with super-large disaster beast tides."

"Three Ninth-Level Disaster Beasts have appeared, including the Sea-Suppressing Cang Whale and the Deep Sea Octopus."

"Causing huge damage to the coastal base, in the 10-day disaster beast tide, several Seventh Realm martial artists sacrificed, and other martial artists 6689……!"

"Hello everyone, this is Central…… News Broadcast, just now, Beijiang Province erupted with a super-large disaster beast tide; currently, there are six Ninth-Level Disaster Beasts, dozens of Eighth-Level Disaster Beasts, leading countless disaster beasts to launch a surprise attack……"

"This is the largest disaster beast tide in the past eight years, is it a severe test?"

"Our side has suffered huge losses……!"

The news reported by the News Broadcast this day made the entire Xia Guo explode!

For the situation in Cang Province, they didn't care much; it was just two Ninth-Level Disaster Beasts, although dangerous, the coastal base was enough to resist.

But the Black Dragon Base was different.

"Holy crap, six Ninth-Level Disaster Beasts, damn it!"

"Before, at most two Ninth-Level Disaster Beasts would take action, and one Ninth Realm martial artist guarding was enough!"

"The most serious before was the disaster beast tide launched by five Ninth-Level Disaster Beasts in Sichuan Province, which almost broke through the war base."

"If it weren't for the Red Emperor taking action and beheading three Ninth-Level Disaster Beasts in a row, Sichuan Province might have been devastated."

The disaster beast tide in Beijiang Province caused worry for countless people.

Yujing Haoting residential area, in the living room of Villa No. 66.

Seeing the news, Lin Zhen also stood up and frowned:

"Beijiang Province is in trouble this time, six Ninth-Level Disaster Beasts, they must be driven back."

"Once one enters the city, it is a natural disaster."

"Beijiang Province currently has two Ninth Realm martial artists guarding; they might not be able to hold it!"
