Chapter 387

Huo Wanyang was shocked; right before his eyes, Lin Qi had completed a breakthrough in his spear technique.

He was certain he hadn't seen wrong; that was the manifestation of an artistic conception, something only possible after martial arts technique breaks through to the Fourth Stage.

It could significantly increase the power of one's moves.

And he hadn't even mastered the third killing move yet.

He was both stunned and amazed.

He couldn't help but watch the most intense battle happening in the distance.

"Roar!!"

The towering, hill-like Iron-Spined Battle Bear sensed extreme danger; its body subconsciously retreated, and its iron-pillar-like arms suddenly retracted.

But it was already too late.

Lin Qi felt his state was better than ever; he knew his spear technique had completed its breakthrough.

Under the blessing of the Mountain-Shaking Artistic Conception, he unleashed the third killing move of the "Mountain-Shaking Spear Art"—Mountain-Shaking!

"Boom!!"

The special ability 【Golden Sharpness】 was released to the extreme, and the Tiger-Slaying Great Spear was shrouded in golden sharpness, turning into a golden spear.

Like a golden dragon emerging from the sea, it roared as it devoured the Iron-Spined Battle Bear.

The power of the mountain was also injected into the spear as it thrust out, tearing through the surrounding air and forming circles of white air waves accompanied by a whistling sound.

The sharp spear tip pierced straight through the neck of the Sixth-Level disaster beast, the Iron-Spined Battle Bear.

It was like stabbing into steel; its neck muscles were exceptionally tough, and ordinary weapons simply couldn't break its defense.

The Iron-Spined Battle Bear had thick skin and flesh, and it was very confident in its own defense.

But this time, it had encountered Lin Qi, who possessed the strongest destructive power.

After piercing the skin, the golden sharpness acted like a spiral blade, frantically shredding the surrounding muscles and organs, completely ending its life.

"Pfft, pfft~"

Blood sprayed out like a waterfall!!

"Roar~"

The Iron-Spined Battle Bear roared at the sky, venting its inner unwillingness, and its massive body collapsed with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Bang!"

Lin Qi landed on the ground amidst the dust; holding his spear in one hand, his body shrouded in golden sharpness, he remained unstained by blood, like a god descending.

His chest heaved violently; the release of this killing move had taken a significant toll on him.

Points +50,000

【You faced the Sixth-Level disaster beast, the Iron-Spined Battle Bear, and sensed danger. At the critical moment, your "Mountain-Shaking Spear Art" broke through, and you successfully comprehended the Mountain-Shaking Artistic Conception. Spear technique +10%】

【Spear Technique: Third Stage 99% → Fourth Stage 9%】

He looked at his panel, which now showed that he had successfully broken through to the Fourth Stage and comprehended the Mountain-Shaking Artistic Conception.

He carefully savored the feeling from just a moment ago.

That feeling was the same as the Diamond Fist Conception; it was as if he had received some kind of blessing, and the power of his moves had been greatly enhanced.

The biggest gain from this disaster beast hunting competition was the breakthrough in his spear technique.

Most importantly, he was now able to kill Sixth-Level disaster beasts, making him a mid-level combatant among Xia Nation's martial artists.

Second only to high-level martial artists, and he could even rival the masters of some small martial arts mansions.

And for him, this was just the beginning.

He looked around at the disaster beasts and continued to swing his golden spear, launching a slaughter.

Even though he had killed the Sixth-Level disaster beast, the Iron-Spined Battle Bear, they were still fearless!

He had to kill them all.

In the distance, Huo Wanyang pressed the rescue button; he no longer had much stamina left.

He had given up; he watched Lin Qi in the distance, silent and completely stunned.

He had killed a Sixth-Level disaster beast without even using a minor divine ability.

And Lin Qi was only an SS-level genius like himself, yet the gap was ridiculously large.

At this moment, on the observation tower in the distance, the tall officer in green exhaled and sighed:

"A genius indeed!!"

"Truly impressive; with the Qi and blood value of a Fifth Realm practitioner, he can cross realms to kill a Sixth-Level disaster beast, the Iron-Spined Battle Bear."

"And it was a fully grown Iron-Spined Battle Bear, which is no weakling even among Sixth-Level disaster beasts."

"Even a martial artist who has just entered the Sixth Realm might not necessarily be its match."

"Yet today, it was forcefully killed by someone!"

The soldiers nearby were also shocked; in all their years, it wasn't as if they hadn't seen geniuses. Every semester, they held disaster beast hunting competitions, and they had seen all kinds of S-level geniuses.

But they had never seen such a formidable genius.

A Sixth-Level disaster beast that would require a large amount of heavy weaponry and dozens of minutes of Thor Cannon fire to kill had just been slain like this.

And the opponent was just a Fifth Realm martial artist, a sophomore who had comprehended an artistic conception?

Meanwhile, in the sky, aboard a dark red fighter jet, the free-spirited Dean of the Sixth Academy saw this and also shook his head with a smile, sighing:

"Good lad!"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I truly wouldn't believe that this could be done by an SS-level genius."

"Just broken through to the Fifth Realm, and he can already comprehend an artistic conception to slay a Sixth-Level disaster beast, the Iron-Spined Battle Bear."

"And without even using a minor divine ability."

By the time he graduated in his fourth year, becoming a Seventh Realm martial artist would be no problem at all.

!

"He's almost got the bearing of an SSS-level genius."

The more Xue Zhou watched, the more he liked Lin Qi; he was simply too outstanding.

"Dean Xue, there are students rapidly approaching Lin Qi and Huo Wanyang!"

Suddenly, a woman wearing red and white robes, with a nimble figure and wheat-colored skin, spoke up.

She was Jiang Tao, the teacher of Guanshan and Wang Qiufeng—Liu Ran!

Xue Zhou also looked at the projected big screen, seeing 15 red dots rapidly approaching Lin Qi and Huo Wanyang.

Zooming in, they were 15 students.

Five of them were charging toward Huo Wanyang, while 10 were charging toward Lin Qi's position.

"It seems they have finally started to act!"

Seeing this, Xue Zhou was not panicked.

"Do you need me to kill them on the spot?" Liu Ran asked, full of killing intent.

"Let me handle it!"

Another middle-aged man with a lean build spoke slowly; he was also a Seventh Realm man.

At the same time, he was also the teacher of Yu Jing from the Cangqiong Sixth Academy.

Xue Zhou shook his head and said, "No need!"

"Lin Qi can kill a Sixth-Level disaster beast; dealing with a few people shouldn't be a problem."

"Let him accumulate some experience against Zerg-modified martial artists."

"We will go over as well and protect him from the shadows."

Liu Ran and the man nodded in agreement.

"Buzz, buzz!!"

High in the sky, the fighter jet's cabin door opened rapidly; Xue Zhou looked at the hundreds of meters of altitude and leaped down directly.

Liu Ran and the man followed closely behind, holding their weapons, and jumped down, landing in the forest.

"Pfft~ pfft~"

"Roar~"

He controlled 【Golden Sharpness】, like strands of golden swordfish gathering, golden sharpness gathered on the spear tip, his body tightened in the air, and then heavily smashed down.

Corpses were strewn everywhere, and the air was filled with the thick scent of blood.

Tens of thousands of disaster beasts filled the land for over a thousand meters around, and blood soaked the grass like a stream.

Lin Qi panted heavily, sweat streaming down from his forehead; he glanced at the time, and there was less than an hour left until the end.

He could leave now too!

His stamina was heavily depleted, and there was no point in staying any longer.

"Hmm?"

In an instant, his brows furrowed, and he turned his head rapidly toward the forest.

He saw several figures rushing toward him wildly, their eyes bloodshot.

And two of those figures were exceptionally familiar to him.

Yu Jing, Li Zehao!

Both were people who were at odds with him.

Lin Qi felt a strong sense of danger welling up from the bottom of his heart.

Something was wrong!
