Chapter 390

After seeing the leaderboard, that person immediately opened his mouth wide and gasped.

"5... 500,000 points?"

After the others saw it, they also gasped.

Thus, the sound of gasping rose one after another, filling the entire plaza.

When students from other academies found out, there was an immediate uproar.

"Too strong!"

"Just how many disaster beasts did he kill? Is his body made of Delta alloy?"

"Also an SS-level genius, Huo Wanyang only has 300,000 points; compared to Lin Qi, he's a big step behind."

"It's mainly that Lin Qi is too exaggerated; who can compare to him!"

"It's simply hard to imagine how much money he will make."

In the seats of the Cangqiong Sixth Academy, Jiang Tao sat in a chair, looking at the leaderboard and smiling bitterly:

"I remember during the last disaster beast hunting competition, Lin Lin Qi Ge had just broken through to the Fourth Realm and hadn't practiced intermediate source energy techniques yet, and he still racked up 120,000 points."

"I've already finished practicing, yet I couldn't even get 120,000 points."

"Lin Lin Qi Ge is simply too fierce!"

The others also nodded one after another; their points were only close to 100,000, and the gap with Lin Qi was simply too far.

"Boom!!"

A solid red Peregrine-class fighter jet descended onto the plaza, attracting everyone's attention.

They saw the cabin door open slowly, and Lin Qi walked out first, with Huo Wanyang following closely behind.

Lin Qi watched the fighter jet fly away and returned to the spectator seats.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, what's the situation? Why did you come back in a Peregrine jet?" Jiang Tao asked curiously.

Lin Qi said calmly:

"Something happened; just now..."

So he told them about the incident where Yu Jing and the ten others besieged him.

He had asked Xue Zhou, and the matter of Yu Jing and the others could be told; there was no need to hide it.

After hearing it, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and murderous intent surged; they wished they could stomp Yu Jing to death.

"I was wondering how Yu Jing could progress so fast; it turns out he joined the 【Insect God Sect】."

"This guy deserved to die for actually wanting to kill Lin Lin Qi Ge!"

"..."

"Fellow students!"

Just as everyone was discussing, Vice Principal Xu Wenji projected himself again.

He announced the rankings and various rewards for this disaster beast hunting competition and finally announced its conclusion.

With the disaster beast hunting competition over, everyone returned to their villas by car.

Cangqiong Sixth Academy, Villa No. 01

In the spacious living room, Lin Qi, Jiang Tao, and Jiang Miaoyin were eating together.

Lin Qi ate the Fifth-Level nutritional meal in large mouthfuls; his body had consumed too much, and he urgently needed to replenish a large amount of energy.

Jiang Miaoyin said while eating:

"Because of the operations of you and Brother Lin Qi last semester, everyone was afraid to withdraw from the competition early."

"My plan to break into the top five fell through again; in the end, we only got 8th place."

Then she said seriously: "But for the freshman competition starting tomorrow, I will compete for the top three!"

Lin Qi nodded; after entering Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda, Jiang Miaoyin's strength had also progressed rapidly.

It was hard to say about the championship, but there was really hope for the top three.

A few minutes later, Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin left.

Lin Qi returned to the martial arts room alone, let Xiao Chan project the panel, and began to summarize the three-day disaster beast hunting competition.

This disaster beast hunting competition had been a huge gain for him.

The points alone reached as high as 500,000, shocking countless classmates; compared to the 120,000 points last time, it was 380,000 more.

Converted entirely into cash, that was a staggering amount of money.

Besides the points, the biggest gain was successfully mastering the Mountain-Shaking Artistic Conception, allowing his spear technique to successfully break through to the Fourth Stage.

After thinking simply for a while, he sat cross-legged and began to practice source energy techniques.

The consumption over three days had been too great, and his body was already starving.

"Whoosh, whoosh!!"

Amidst gusts of fierce wind, a large amount of source energy particles poured into his body.

As the source energy entered his body, it was like a thirsty person encountering water, devouring it frantically.

While his body cells were metabolizing and recovering rapidly, they were also constantly undergoing transformation.

In an unknown base

"Failed; all the nanobots are dead."

The red light in the eyes of the green mechanical giant insect went out, emitting a mechanical sound.

The tall man in the black mask remained calm after hearing this and said lightly:

"Failure is failure!"

"Success is profit; failure at most means losing a little material."

"Anyway, our 【Insect God Sect】 can never be eliminated."

"Next, my attention should also be put into the search for the treasure."

After muttering to himself for a while, he also turned and left.

For geniuses like Lin Qi and Huo Wanyang, growing up would at most make them Eighth Realm martial artists.

If they were lucky, they might luckily break through to the Ninth Realm, but that would only be the most ordinary strength.

It had an impact on their Zerg, but not much.

What they feared most was the reappearance of a freak like the Red Emperor, whose strength and talent were so high that it didn't seem like a genius that could appear on a small planet like Blue Star.

The matter of Li Zehao and others joining the 【Insect God Sect】 was still known to the whole school.

Because Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda's official website had already published it, and countless people cursed Li Zehao, calling them traitors to humanity.

People who were usually on good terms with them also immediately drew a line.

But their relatives felt as if the sky had collapsed.

The next day, the freshmen began the freshman competition.

The Tenth Academy began the freshman hunting competition, Fortress No. 9.

After a night of high-efficiency cleaning, there wasn't a single disaster beast corpse left in the entire disaster beast park.

Only a faint scent of blood lingered in the air, never dissipating.

The fourteen people from the Tenth Academy got off the electric train and gathered at the main entrance.

Wan Ming, wearing a blue combat suit, said:

"According to the latest news, Huo Wanyang got 300,000 points, while Lin Qi got 500,000 points! We have to work hard too!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked; these points were simply exaggerated.

Yu Zhuoran frowned; he also wasn't sure he could get so many points.

And one person in the crowd, wearing a red combat suit and holding a Miao saber, walked out; it was the SSS-level genius—Especially Chu Yu.

With his appearance, the temperature of the surrounding air rose, and a scorching aura permeated the surroundings.

Yu Zhuoran was shocked; he could feel that Especially Chu Yu's aura had become much stronger; could it be that the other party had already broken through to the Sixth Realm?

An 18-year-old Sixth Realm powerhouse; perhaps he could break through to the Seventh Realm at 20.

They saw Especially Chu Yu reveal a confident smile and say:

"Since Lin Qi can get 500,000 points, then I'll just get 1,000,000 points; it's exactly twice his."

Once Especially Chu Yu said this, everyone stopped talking.

!

They didn't dare to think about 500,000 points, let alone 1,000,000 points.

They felt immense pressure; with two pressure monsters like Lin Qi and Especially Chu Yu, they wished they could practice desperately every day.

Cangqiong Sixth Academy, Villa No. 01

In the martial arts room, Lin Qi, wearing a black martial arts suit, sat cross-legged.

A breeze blew his clothes; in his consciousness space, the Platinum Evil Tiger, towering like a mountain, opened its bloody mouth and inhaled the rich source energy in the surrounding air like a storm.

Source energy particles gathered into streams, pouring into his body and being devoured by cells in every part.

Muscles, tendons, skin membranes, bones, and internal organs—every part underwent transformation simultaneously.

The injuries caused by the attacks on his body and the destroyed cells were metabolized, and other cells continued to divide; the injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Thump, thump!!"

His heart beat powerfully; although he had completed the initial tempering, the heart's function was still constantly strengthening.

It just wasn't improving as significantly as before.

A large amount of source energy gathered in his lungs; the lungs, one of the five internal organs, govern breathing.

They are the key organs for human breathing and also the key to source energy transformation.

The heart and lungs, these two organs, determine a person's endurance and stamina; once tempered, his stamina would be significantly improved again.

He was adjusting his breathing, and a large amount of oxygen entered his lungs through his nose to be stored.

It was also accompanied by a large amount of source energy, transforming his lung organs.

At the same time, the organ-tempering liquid he took was also playing a role.

Two hours later

The aura in the martial arts room returned to calm; Lin Qi opened his eyes slowly, his chest heaving, and he spat out a small breath of turbid air.

His breath was long, setting off gusts of breeze in the entire martial arts room.

【You completed a practice, your injuries recovered, your body underwent transformation, Qi and blood value +20】

【Qi and blood value: 520 → 540】

Lin Qi stood up slowly, feeling the power surging endlessly within his body, blood flowing to every corner of his body.

Due to the injuries, the stagnation in his body had also all recovered.

His Qi and blood were full, and even because he had been injured, his Qi and blood value had increased significantly instead.

Over these two days, he took the organ-tempering liquid and practiced simultaneously; his Qi and blood value alone had increased by a full 40.

The tempering progress of his lungs was almost halfway complete.

"Master, the rewards for the disaster beast hunting competition have arrived!"

The black-haired Xiao Chan projected beside him suddenly spoke.

She raised her jade hand and projected a screen.

【Student Lin Qi, you performed excellently in the disaster beast hunting competition, racking up 509,000 points, breaking the historical record, including 523 First-Level disaster beasts, 3,258 Second-Level...】

【Finally converted into a bonus, you received a total bonus of 280 million Xia Guo coins; after deducting 10% personal income tax, it is 28 million Xia Guo coins; you received a total of 252 million Xia Guo coins!】

Lin Qi looked at the information on the panel and smiled.

This disaster beast hunting competition had been a huge gain for him.

He had earned a full 250 million Xia Guo coins; this was a super huge sum of money.

He didn't know how much cultivation resources he could buy.

Thinking about it, his current combat power was already equivalent to a Sixth Realm martial artist.

In a safe environment like the disaster beast park, fighting frantically and earning 250 million Xia Guo coins, thinking about it, it felt normal.

If he really stepped onto the battlefield, this money wouldn't be so easy to earn.

He immediately checked himself, checking his net worth.

【Mobile balance: 560 million Xia Guo coins】

Seeing his net worth here, Lin Qi's mouth curled up slightly.

His current net worth was not weak at all.

Close to 600 million, and in Dean Liu's hands, there were still cultivation resources worth several hundred million.

However, his expression soon returned to normal because, to continue making money next, he could only rely on the Global Martial Arts Competition.

Then there was the monthly 30 million Xia Guo coin subsidy, as well as the rewards from the Disaster Beast Trial Tower.

And his future expenses would only be more terrifying.

Two days later, on the plaza of Fortress No. 9

The disaster beast hunting competition had ended, and the 14 awakened geniuses returned.

Especially Chu Yu, wearing a red combat suit, looked at the leaderboard where he was far ahead and smiled:

"One million points, I kept my word; not more, not less, just right."

【Tenth Academy Leaderboard】

【First Place: Especially Chu Yu, Points: 1,000,000】

【Second Place: Yu Zhuoran, Points: 395,900】

【Third Place: Pei Jiu, Points: 367,800】

Others looked at the leaderboard, silent; the gap was too large.

Yu Zhuoran gripped the battle blade in his hand; he had already given his all, but he still couldn't get 500,000 points.

Facing the Sixth-Level disaster beast, the Iron-Spined Battle Bear, he released his minor divine ability and only barely managed to kill it.

He simply couldn't compare to Lin Qi, let alone the SSS-level genius Especially Chu Yu.

Geniuses also have gaps; he felt it fully today.
