Chapter 378: Breaking Through to the Fifth Realm (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Every corner of the entire skeleton had been polished to sharpness; the progress of bone tempering had reached the final step.

Now, only the most subtle changes in the skull remained.

"Hum hum!!"

The Golden Sharpness power, internal force, and Source Energy fused to form a special power, tempering both inside and out with the effect of the Tiger Bone Pill.

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi's face was flushed, his whole body radiated amazing heat, his skin was scorching, and a sense of numbness emerged from the depths of his bones.

"Da da!!"

Sweat poured down like rain, continuously emerging from his skin and dripping, only to be quickly flattened and scattered under 10x gravity.

One hour later.

Highly focused cultivation made Lin Qi feel the heaviness and fatigue of his body.

But the tempering of his bones had also reached the most critical moment. The power dominated by Golden Sharpness, under the guidance of mental power, entered his skull.

Tempering every corner with even greater subtlety.

"Boom!!"

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Lin Qi's whole body trembled; he only felt the buzzing sound in his brain stop.

Then his body straightened, and his body erupted with an even greater roaring sound.

This sound was like a tiger's roar; his body's skeleton seemed to have transformed into a Ninth-Level Disaster Beast, the Bai Bai Jin Sha Hu.

From head to toe, every inch of bone had completed tempering; the entire skeleton had changed at this moment.

Invisible baleful aura surged out from the bones; he felt his bones become heavier.

He had successfully forged the Fierce Tiger Bone, completing the creation of his foundation.

At this moment, Lin Qi could clearly feel the solid and heavy feeling transmitted from his bones when he clenched his fist.

Power was transmitted through his bones.

The Fierce Tiger Bone was successfully forged, and he had also successfully laid a deep foundation.

According to what was said in the "Bai Bai Jin Sha Hu Evolution Method," to break through to the Ninth Realm and become a titled martial artist, one must lay a deep foundation at every realm.

In the Fourth Realm, one must successfully forge bones.

Without successful bone forging, it would be exceptionally difficult to break through to high realms in the future.

Only by laying a deep foundation at every realm could one have a broader future.

"Hum!!"

Under 10x gravity, Lin Qi did not stop swinging his fists, from Space-Breaking to Thousand Shadows, Earth-Splitting, Body-Guarding, and finally to the last Unity.

Now, with the successful bone forging, his body also had different changes.

His bones began to vibrate violently, and a continuous stream of internal force surged out like a huge lake.

The Source Energy hidden in his body was all shaken out, and his body's cells began to crazily absorb Source Energy particles.

He felt his whole body was full of power, and he continued to perform the Jin Gang Fist.

His internal force still fused with the Golden Sharpness power, and his mental power guided them.

At this moment, he felt his control over the Golden Sharpness power had reached a higher level.

Although his body was still fatigued, a continuous stream of power supported him to continue performing the Jin Gang Fist.

His internal organs began to feel warm and hot.

That was because the bones had finished tempering; the next step was organ refining.

He had successfully broken through from the Fourth Realm Bone Refining to the Fifth Realm Organ Refining.

Half an hour later.

"Roar~"

Lin Qi shouted violently, golden light bloomed on his body, his body vibrated, and the gravity on his body slowly dissipated.

【You took the Tiger Bone Pill, and under 10x extreme gravity, you completed the tempering of your body's bones, successfully forging the Fierce Tiger Bone.】

【You successfully broke through from the Fourth Realm Bone Refining to the Fifth Realm Organ Refining, your Qi and Blood Value increased significantly, Qi and Blood Value +20.1】

【Under 10x extreme gravity, by practicing the Jin Gang Fist, your mastery of the special ability 【Golden Sharpness】 has advanced further, Jin Gang Fist has broken through to Minor Completion.】

【Qi and Blood Value: 399.9 -> 420】

……

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi deeply exhaled the waste air from his chest, looking at the breakthrough data on the panel, and revealed a smile.

On March 1st, he broke through to the Fourth Realm; now, on August 1st, he broke through to the Fifth Realm.

Exactly five months; the speed of the breakthrough was even faster than he had imagined.

Now he was also a Fifth Realm Organ Refining martial artist. Although Lin Qi felt physically and mentally exhausted, a strong sense of confidence surged from his bones.

It was as if no difficulty could defeat him, and no one could crush his spine.

"Gulu~"

He drank five bottles of functional drinks in a row, only feeling his body was hungry; in the gravity environment, the consumption was truly too great.

……

Half an hour later, in Villa No. 01 of the Cangqiong Sixth Academy.

Lin Qi opened the white lunch box in front of him and took out the Fifth-Level nutritional meal from inside.

He opened the lunch box, revealing the food inside; the vegetables were cultivated in the Otherworld by absorbing sufficient Source Energy.

The rice was also specially planted.

As for the meat chunks inside, they were meat from a Fifth-Level Disaster Beast.

Lin Qi ate heartily; the materials were top-tier, so even if the cooking skills were average, the taste wouldn't be bad.

Not to mention that the school's chefs' cooking skills wouldn't be bad either.

After finishing the Fifth-Level nutritional meal, he rested simply for a moment, then entered the martial arts room again and began to cultivate Source Energy.

He sat cross-legged, his hands in the Five-Hearts-Facing-Heaven posture, quickly entering meditation, and his consciousness visualized the Ninth-Level Disaster Beast, the Bai Bai Jin Sha Hu.

"Roar~"

Accompanied by a roar from the towering and massive Bai Bai Jin Sha Hu, the Source Energy particles in the martial arts room were awakened and all gathered over.

"Hoo~"

His whole body felt warm, but soon a large amount of coldness permeated every inch of his skin, and Source Energy continuously entered his body through his pores.

The hungry cells began to crazily devour Source Energy, cells divided, and muscles, tendons, skin, bones, internal organs, and every organ began an invisible transformation.

Although parts like muscles and tendons had already finished tempering, every time he raised a realm, it would drive them to continue becoming stronger.

Just like his body's bones had finished tempering now, it was only the end of the first stage; later, he could still optimize his genes by absorbing Source Energy.

His bones would become even harder, and because of forging the Fierce Tiger Bone, his power would become even more powerful.

With the same body talent, one forged bones successfully, and one failed.

Then the future body quality would form a huge gap.

Laying a good foundation at every realm, the advantage would become stronger like a snowball.

Bone forging was successful; the next step was to exercise the internal organs, which were the five viscera and six bowels.

He guided a large amount of Source Energy into his internal organs, feeling his body's organs constantly transforming, and their functions constantly strengthening. This feeling of becoming stronger made him very comfortable.

Every part of his body was crazily undergoing transformation?

Two hours later.

"Hoo hoo~"

A strong gale spread around him with him as the center. Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and baleful aura and strong sharpness were released from his body.

【You completed Source Energy cultivation, your body underwent transformation, Qi and Blood Value +8】

【Qi and Blood Value: 420 -> 428】

……

Lin Qi slowly stood up, feeling the Qi and blood in his body solid and steady, flowing rapidly in every corner, and power continuously surging out.

"I am also in the Fifth Realm now, and the gap between me and Chu Yu has narrowed further."

Lin Qi clenched his fist; according to his cultivation speed, it wouldn't take a few months for him to catch up.

!

……

The next day.

Cangqiong Sixth Academy, Cangjing Building.

Wang Zhixuan, with a tall figure, a powerful body, and grand features, took the elevator to the top-floor martial arts room.

Her steps were light, like an agile deer.

She clenched her fist, feeling the surging power, her mood pleasant.

Because just yesterday, she successfully broke through from the Fourth Realm to the Fifth Realm.

As a non-S-rank genius, being able to break through just after entering her fourth year, her speed was already considered very fast.

Although she couldn't compare to the S-rank genius Senior Brother Liang Tai, she was already satisfied.

And the cause of all this was the little junior brother, Lin Qi.

As his senior sister, although she felt very proud, the pressure was very great.

Now her combat power was already inferior to the other party; if her realm was surpassed by the other party again, it would be a bit awkward.

Soon she entered the martial arts room and changed into a martial arts uniform. At this time, Liang Tai, Li Qing, and little junior brother Lin Qi had all arrived.

And the teacher, Mu Hong, still wearing black, took out a long spear from the spear case and asked:

"Class begins!"

"Who has questions?"

At this time, Wang Zhixuan stepped forward and announced loudly:

"I have broken through to the Fifth Realm Organ Refining and need the teacher's guidance."

Senior Brother Liang Tai, with a burly figure, smiled and said:

"Zhixuan, congratulations on the breakthrough; your speed is not slow compared to S-rank geniuses."

Li Qing, with handsome features, smiled: "Congratulations to Senior Sister on the breakthrough."

Mu Hong also nodded in appreciation.

Wang Zhixuan was also very happy in her heart.

"Congratulations to Second Senior Sister; today is truly a double happiness, I have also broken through to the Fifth Realm."

Just at this moment, Lin Qi beside them smiled and spoke.

Wang Zhixuan's smile instantly froze, and Li Qing widened his eyes looking at Lin Qi:

"Little Junior Brother, you also broke through."

"It's only been five months, right?"

Liang Tai was also stunned, and Mu Hong was shocked.

The air instantly quieted down; Wang Zhixuan felt cold in her heart; she had also been surpassed in realm.

Teacher Mu Hong spoke at this time:

"This is a good thing; the faster the breakthrough, the greater the future potential."

Li Qing and Liang Tai looked at Lin Qi, not knowing what else to say.

It was just that this little junior brother was too amazing, making them look like trash.

Mu Hong exhaled a breath; he was also exceptionally surprised in his heart.

Even for an SS-rank genius, breaking through at the start of their second year was extremely rare, one could even say it didn't exist.

This was the cultivation speed that only an SSS-rank genius had.

This disciple of his was worthy of being the genius praised by the principal, who was known as the Heavenly Blade.

He organized his thoughts and looked at the four of them, saying:

"Since Zhixuan and Lin Qi, you two have broken through."

"I will explain what the next cultivation is today."

Lin Qi pricked up his ears; Fourth Realm Bone Refining, Fifth Realm Organ Refining, the points to pay attention to in each realm were different.

It wasn't something one could learn just by looking at the evolution method.

Mu Hong spoke slowly:

"Martial Path Nine Realms, Nine Great Shackles."

"One realm, one world, each is different!"

"First Realm Flesh Refining, Second Realm Tendon Refining, Third Realm Skin Refining, Fourth Realm Bone Refining."

"According to Martial Path research, after bone refining ends, the most suitable is organ refining."

"Fifth Realm Organ Refining refines our internal organs, which are our five viscera and six bowels. The five viscera are: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys."

"The six bowels are: small intestine, gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, bladder, triple burner."

"Each organ has different functions and is an indispensable part of the human body."

"If the function of some organs is high, there is also gain in the Martial Path."

Mu Hong introduced, while projecting a human body diagram and introducing it on top.

"For example, the stomach; if the digestive ability is good, it can absorb nutrients from food and medicine."

"Another example, if the kidneys are powerful, it can make people energetic; people with strong hearts and lungs have strong endurance, amazing grip strength……"

Lin Qi nodded after hearing this; his first talent was stomach strengthening, allowing him to have stronger digestive ability.

As for the later "Dragon Spirit Tiger Might," he guessed it was also that his kidneys, heart, lungs, and other organ functions were far beyond others.

Mu Hong puffed out his cheeks, took a deep breath, and then exhaled.

A strong gale blew out from his mouth.

"Hoo hoo!!"

The strong gale blew in front of the crowd.

The three were shocked; although their heart and lung abilities had been continuously strengthened and could blow out a breeze, they absolutely couldn't do what Mu Hong did.

Mu Hong waved his hand, the fierce wind dissipated, and he continued to speak:

"Fifth Realm Organ Refining, internal organs are powerful, forming a cycle, driving the whole body, breathing is continuous and deep, physical strength is long-lasting."

"Body quality is significantly improved, endurance is significantly improved, able to support long-term high-intensity combat."

"Especially after entering the battlefield, the physical strength gap between Fourth Realm martial artists and Fifth Realm martial artists is huge."

Teacher Mu Hong then raised his own thick right arm and said:

"Besides this, the ability to control internal force will also be significantly improved."

After saying that, his body instantly exerted force!
