Chapter 377: Huge Gap (Seeking Monthly Votes)

The people in the conference room fell into silence, and the atmosphere in the air became oppressive.

They all knew this point; there might be an even greater crisis awaiting humanity.

That is why the upper echelons were taking precautions to cultivate more experts.

This is humanity's instinct; when facing the unknown, only powerful strength can provide them with a sense of security.

At this moment, Vice Principal Xu Wenji was seen smiling as he said:

"Everyone is worrying too much."

"The 【Relics】 are all things from tens of thousands of years ago; that time is too distant."

"And our human Martial Path is developing rapidly, changing with each passing day. A few hundred years from now, who knows what it will become."

"For us people of the present, Disaster Beasts are the greatest crisis."

The crowd also came to their senses; just now, they were merely scaring themselves.

Thinking about how to cultivate geniuses to resist Disaster Beasts was the real business.

……

Time entered August, the hottest month of the year.

Lin Qi and Jiang Tao took the electric train back to the villa together; this time, it was only the two of them.

Jiang Tao basked in the sun, watching the sightseeing vehicles coming and going on the campus streets, and sighed:

"Guanshan, A-Heng, and Qiufeng have all gone to the Otherworld to cultivate intermediate Source Energy arts."

"Now, only we are left."

Lin Qi nodded. At the end of the last semester, Guanshan, Guo Heng, Wang Qiufeng, and Zhou Xiyin were already approaching the Fourth Realm.

Now that more than a month of summer vacation had passed, they had all successively broken through to the Fourth Realm Bone Refining.

As soon as the semester started, they went to the Otherworld together to cultivate intermediate Source Energy arts.

At this time, Jiang Tao suddenly said again:

"Brother Qi, why don't we go to the Otherworld to cultivate after a while?"

"The second year doesn't forbid going to the Otherworld; many seniors go to the Otherworld to cultivate in their second year."

Lin Qi's heart stirred after hearing this. Although the Source Energy concentration in his villa's martial arts room was not low,

compared to the environment of the Otherworld, it was still quite a bit worse.

Now, one only needed to spend more money to enjoy a better cultivation environment; why not do it?

A few minutes later.

Lin Qi returned to his martial arts room. As soon as he entered the door, his phone buzzed.

He took it out to look; it was the Tenth Academy's small group, and Wan Ming had sent a message.

【Wan Ming: New Disaster Beast Trial Tower leaderboard, screenshot jpg!】

Lin Qi clicked on the screenshot; it was the Tenth Academy's Disaster Beast Trial Tower ranking.

The first place that originally belonged to him had already been replaced by someone else.

【First Place: Especially Chu Yu, Floor: 9】

【Second Place: Lin Qi, Floor: 7】

【Third Place: Yu Zhuoran, Floor: 7】

……

After reading it, Lin Qi was secretly shocked; Especially Chu Yu was so strong!

The difficulty of the Disaster Beast Trial Tower was higher with each floor.

He was currently only on the seventh floor. He speculated that one would need to at least comprehend an artistic conception and let their spear technique break through to the Fourth Realm to have a possibility of passing the seventh floor.

Yet Especially Chu Yu was even more exaggerated, having already reached the ninth floor.

This martial art must have at least broken through to the early stage of the Fourth Rank.

Martial Path Fifth Realm peak, martial art Fourth Rank early stage.

This was the strength displayed by Especially Chu Yu, this SSS-rank genius.

Far more powerful than himself.

Looking at the small group again, it was also exceptionally lively; everyone was shocked.

【Especially Chu Yu: First time entering the trial tower, the difficulty is quite high. I feel the 9th floor is quite difficult; I feel I'll only be able to break through to the 10th floor after a while.】

【Yu Zhuoran: Amazing!】

【Pei Jiu: Strong!】

【Xia Lian: Hiss!】

【Lin Qi: ……】

……

Everyone was shocked, feeling an insurmountable chasm from Especially Chu Yu. Although Lin Qi was also amazing, his strength was limited.

Especially Chu Yu was just too much stronger than them.

At this time, in a certain luxurious villa of the Tenth Academy, Especially Chu Yu, with a fiery temperament and handsome features, looked at his phone and revealed a smile.

"Sure enough, it's only interesting when I'm with everyone." "In the Otherworld, I was cultivating all alone, surrounded by high-realm martial artists; the pressure was too great."

Among high-realm martial artists, he couldn't show off, because they had seen every kind of genius.

But among peers, it was different. Just showing a little bit of skill made everyone worship him. Listening to everyone's praise, this was the treatment an SSS-rank genius should have.

After all, he was only an 18-year-old youth; his mental cultivation was not yet that high.

As for SS-rank geniuses, they simply couldn't compare to him; the gap in between was like a chasm.

He could feel that he was about to break through to the Sixth Realm soon.

By the time of graduation in senior year, becoming a Seventh Realm martial artist will be no problem at all.

……

Inside the martial arts room, Lin Qi put down his phone, packed his things, took his Tiger-Slaying Great Spear, and headed to the gravity room.

A dozen minutes later, the door to the 312 gravity room opened.

Wearing a black-gold custom robe, the tall Lin Qi walked in.

!

He took off his robe, changed into a black martial arts uniform, opened his backpack, took out a container, and took out the last brown pill—Tiger Bone Pill!

Lin Qi looked at his panel.

【Qi and Blood Value: 399.9】

……

It had been half a month since the start of the semester. He had taken two Tiger Bone Pills and cultivated the Jin Gang Fist, finally raising his Qi and Blood Value to 399.9.

He was only one step away from the Fifth Realm.

He planned to officially break through to the Fifth Realm today to narrow the gap with Especially Chu Yu.

The other party's strength had stimulated Lin Qi.

He threw the Tiger Bone Pill into his mouth and began to chew hard.

The bitter taste filled his mouth, and he swallowed it down with mineral water.

"Xiaochian, activate 10x extreme gravity!"

"Understood, Master!"

Black-haired Xiaochian's eyes lit up as she connected to the gravity room control system and started the gravity system!

"Beep!"

The large screen on the wall lit up, and the numbers jumped rapidly, quickly reaching "10".

"Hum hum!!"

Invisible gravity surged into the gravity room like a tide, instantly enveloping every corner of Lin Qi's body.

"Boom!!"

Like countless heavy lead blocks pressing on his body, every corner of his body began to resist the gravity, and his body instantly became active.

Golden light bloomed in Lin Qi's eyes; his eyes were like burning golden suns.

His whole body radiated golden sharpness, and the golden patterns under his skin accelerated their flow along with his blood, emerging just like his veins.

His special ability 【Golden Sharpness】 was triggered, and he began to resist the surrounding 10x extreme gravity involuntarily.

Lin Qi still felt his body was uncomfortable, and a continuous stream of Golden Sharpness power was released to offset the gravity.

He then began to set up his fist stance and started practicing the lower volume of the Jin Gang Fist.

"Dong dong!!"

In the quiet gravity room, he could clearly hear his heart beating powerfully.

Pumping blood, like the rushing water of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, delivering it to every part of his body.

His spirit was highly concentrated, and strands of mental power, like an invisible large net, penetrated deep into his flesh.

Guiding the Golden Sharpness power, Lin Qi squatted slightly, his center of gravity shifted downward, and his legs were like old trees rooted in the alloy floor.

He performed the fist technique. Under 10x gravity, the fist technique speed was not fast, but the cells in his body were moving violently.

First Form: Space-Breaking!

The fist swung out like a sharp blade slashing, cutting through the invisible space, like chopping into the ocean, raising bursts of strong wind.

At the same time, the organs of his body were also operating at high speed to resist the gravity.

After the Tiger Bone Pill entered his stomach, it quickly took effect.

Through his body's organs, it acted upon his bones. Through his skin and muscles, one could see his body's skeleton was like golden jade.

Radiating a mellow luster, covered in golden patterns, adding gold to his white bones.

The sharpness of the entire skeleton had been thoroughly polished.

As sharp as a divine weapon.
