Chapter 408

Star Abode No. 36, white luxury villa.

"Buzz buzz!"

Inside the quiet martial arts room, the brand-new white virtual cabin slowly opened.

Lin Qi's tall figure walked out of it.

"Xiao Chan, order two portions of Level 5 nutritional meals."

"Okay, Master!" Xiao Chan, who was always quiet, nodded obediently and quickly ordered two portions of Level 5 nutritional meals.

A few minutes later, Lin Qi, who was eating in the living room, looked at the green screen projected in front of him.

On it were 23 names, all the contestants in the top 23 of the Sky Dome Assembly.

Except for himself, Especially Chu Yu, and Du Shanyan, the rest were all SS-level and SSS-level geniuses in the third year, as well as top-tier geniuses in the fourth year.

And except for himself, they were all martial artists of the Sixth Realm of marrow refining.

In the next round, the probability of him encountering top-tier experts was very high.

If he wanted to get a higher ranking, then his current strength was not enough.

After dinner, he looked at the time; it was currently 5:40 PM.

There were nearly 15 hours left until the fourth round started at 8:30 tomorrow.

Working hard was enough to let his strength improve to another level.

After simply listing the cultivation plan, he returned to the martial arts room.

"Drip drip!!"

He opened his heavy silver metal cabinet, inside which were bottles of various potions.

He took out a potion containing purple liquid — Soul Essence.

He poured the Soul Essence into his mouth.

Then he took out a green scroll and opened it, sat cross-legged, and cultivated the mental power cultivation method — "Thousand Disaster Records."

His eyes were closed, and his consciousness visualized the Level 4 disaster beast, Silver Giant Wolf.

It was an advanced disaster beast of the Gray-Spined Giant Wolf, possessing a more massive body and eye-catching silver fur.

His intent vibrated the green scroll, and thousands of Level 4 disaster beasts emerged in his consciousness space: Bronze Wild Ox, Blood-Scaled Iron Pig, Silver Giant Wolf……

"Roar~"

Amidst the roars, a terrifying life-and-death battle began.

His brain was cool, and the Soul Essence melted and nourished his mental power.

And Lin Qi controlled the Silver Giant Wolf to fight against thousands of disaster beasts.

"Thousand Disaster Records" is also divided into nine small realms.

The opponents correspond to the ten-beast, hundred-beast, and thousand-beast realms of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Realms.

It requires more intense mental vibration for mental power to have a breakthrough.

"Awoo~"

The Silver Giant Wolf with a robust body, facing the siege of endless disaster beasts, had its body constantly torn apart, but it recovered instantly.

And the number of opponents constantly decreased.

His brain vibrated, and his mental power was also constantly tempered and strengthened.

One hour later.

"Awoo~"

After the Silver Giant Wolf with a robust body tore apart the body of a Bronze Wild Ox, its body turned into golden particles and merged into the surrounding space.

"Boom!!"

Lin Qi's whole body shook, and the gray fog mass in his consciousness space suddenly expanded.

It directly expanded by a circle.

He opened his eyes and suddenly felt enlightened, like a dim room opening a bright light, and everything around him became clearer and brighter.

【You consumed Soul Essence and made a breakthrough in cultivating "Thousand Disaster Records"; your mental power significantly improved, mental power +16】

【Mental Power: 999→1015】

……

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi slowly stood up; in his perception, the world had changed, and he could perceive more.

Everything was under control, which made his confidence increase greatly.

Thinking of this, after simply adapting to the soaring mental power, he entered the virtual cabin again and logged into the disaster beast trial tower.

……

"Buzz!!"

At this time, outside the disaster beast trial tower, Lin Qi looked up at the towering disaster beast trial giant tower.

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and there was no one outside the trial tower; everyone was resting.

He looked at the total ranking:

【First place: Shen Heng (Senior), Layer: 16】

【Second place: Lei Shuang (Senior), Layer: 16】

【Third place: Zhang Tianyang (Senior), Layer: 16】

……

【Twelfth place: Especially Chu Yu, Layer: 14】

……

【32nd place: Lin Qi (Sophomore), Layer: 13】

……

Lin Qi exhaled a breath; his ranking had improved by 10 places compared to three months ago.

The reason it was so low was mainly because he rarely entered the disaster beast trial tower.

Most of the time, he was cultivating silently.

Although the disaster beast trial tower simulates the siege of disaster beasts, it is only a simulation after all, not a real battle.

For him, there was no need to enter the disaster beast trial tower every day; with that time, he preferred to stay in the gravity room and swimming pool to practice spear art and body technique.

At the end of the month, he would just rush to a higher ranking in one go.

And now it was just the end of the month, and it was time for him to rush the ranking.

With a higher ranking, the Level 7 disaster beast flesh he could obtain would also be more.

Thinking of this, he walked straight into the disaster beast trial.

【Student Lin Qi, welcome to the disaster beast trial tower.】

【13th Layer Trial: Kill 600 disaster beasts within 80 minutes, 200 Level 3 disaster beast Gray-Spined Giant Wolves, 200 Level 3 disaster beast Blood-Scaled Iron Pigs, 150 Level 3 Iron-Scaled Hawks, 50 Level 4 disaster beast Bronze Wild Oxen!】

【Failure to kill all disaster beasts within 80 minutes is a failure……】

【Countdown: ……3, 2, 1】

【Trial officially begins!!】

Lin Qi was still in black combat equipment, and his blood-Qi value had increased to 300.

Higher than when he first entered the Third Realm, and not yet at the peak of the Third Realm.

"Boom!!"

The surrounding earth vibrated violently, and the gravel on the ground jumped crazily.

On the dilapidated ruin road, at the end, a gray-red tsunami appeared at the end of his sight.

"Awoo~" "Heh~ heh"

Level 3 disaster beast Gray-Spined Giant Wolves, Blood-Scaled Iron Pigs, the intense pressure made people suffocated.

"Moo~"

After them were the more massive Bronze Wild Oxen; they were like super armored vehicles speeding crazily on the highway.

"Hoo hoo!!"

Strong fierce winds were stirred up accompanied by the impact.

In the sky, black cloud clusters approached rapidly; they were composed of 150 Iron-Scaled Hawks.

All locked onto Lin Qi, wanting to swallow him up.

Lin Qi saw this, waved the black great spear, his body exerted force instantly, like lightning tearing through the sky, exploding out from where he was.

Stained with the special ability 【Golden Sharpness】, the force also possessed sharp characteristics, the force condensed into mountain and river force, capable of switching between rigid and soft.

This is the way of combining rigidity and softness.

!

"Awoo~"

Facing the Gray-Spined Giant Wolves pouncing from the air, the great spear in his hand thrust out like river water.

In an instant, it slashed through the necks of the Gray-Spined Giant Wolves.

"Puff~ puff~ puff~"

In an instant, the necks of three Gray-Spined Giant Wolves were slashed, and hot blood splashed out.

Then he thrust out several more spears continuously.

"Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Art" — Flowing Water Thrust!

He crazily performed Flowing Water Thrust; the artistic conception of the river seemed to emerge around him.

"Heh~ heh"

The Blood-Scaled Iron Pigs also immediately pounced up; Lin Qi turned into lightning, and between breaths, several Gray-Spined Giant Wolves died!

"Ree~"

The Iron-Scaled Hawks in the sky, like steel wings, shot down like ten thousand arrows fired at once.

"Shoo~"

Lin Qi's expression was calm, like lightning, leaving several afterimages in place.

Then the black great spear thrust out crazily, thrusting out continuously like a machine gun.

"Puff~ puff~"

In one second, he released two hundred spear strikes, instantly piercing to death more than twenty Iron-Scaled Hawks.

"Bang bang!!"

He alone was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep; all the disaster beasts were his prey.

40 minutes later.

"Moo~"

As the heavy corpses of the Bronze Wild Oxen fell heavily onto the ground.

Lin Qi exhaled a breath and shook his head:

"Not enough, the pressure is still not enough to let me break through!"

"I need more powerful pressure!"

He looked at the popped-up information.

【Student Lin Qi, congratulations on successfully passing the 13th layer assessment!】

【Grade ranking: 3】

【Total ranking: 32→25】

【Yes/No to proceed to the 14th layer disaster beast trial?】

Lin Qi looked at the information and chose to continue the 14th layer trial without any hesitation.

"Drip!"

Information popped up in front of him again.

【14th Layer Trial content: Kill 800 disaster beasts within 80 minutes, 300 Level 3 disaster beast Gray-Spined Giant Wolves, 200 Level 3 disaster beast Blood-Scaled Iron Pigs, 200 Level 3 disaster beast Iron-Scaled Hawks, 100 Level 4 disaster beast Bronze Wild Oxen!】

【Failure to kill all within 80 minutes is a failure……】

After Lin Qi finished reading the content, he was secretly shocked.

The time for this layer remained unchanged, but the number of disaster beasts that needed to be killed increased by two hundred; the ones that increased the most were the numbers of Iron-Scaled Hawks and Bronze Wild Oxen.

And his blood-Qi value had no change.

Obviously, killing all the disaster beasts required a higher realm, for example, integrating artistic conception into every move and style, strengthening his own speed and the power of the moves.

He was currently at the 29% stage of Stage Four, preparing to master the first killing move and break through to 30% of Stage Four.

The gap of 1% was very large in actual combat.

In fact, the 13th layer trial required the realm of the middle stage of Stage Four, but his combat talent was too strong, so he broke through.

And the 14th layer, wanting to break through, became exceptionally difficult.

"Boom!!"

The earth vibrated, making Lin Qi's heartbeat accelerate involuntarily.

The air currents in the air were also changing.

The terrifying disaster beast tide launched a crazy impact toward him.

It was still the four types of disaster beasts: Gray-Spined Giant Wolves, Blood-Scaled Iron Pigs, Iron-Scaled Hawks, and Bronze Wild Oxen.

He exploded out like lightning again, and the body technique "Lei Jijiu Flashes" was displayed.

The Thunder Shadow artistic conception had completely evolved into Lei Ji artistic conception, blessing his body, giving him stronger speed.

"Puff~ puff~ puff~"

Facing the siege, his speed became faster, and his killing efficiency did not decrease.

Like a killing machine, he was crazily slaughtering the disaster beasts pouncing from around him.

At the same time, he also felt huge pressure; the disaster beasts became more numerous, and every corner around him seemed to be blocked by disaster beasts.

The sky and the earth were all sharp teeth and claws of disaster beasts; wanting to kill them all, the difficulty was huge.

Even Especially Chu Yu had been stuck on the 14th layer for three months without breaking through.

In danger, Lin Qi's whole person also became exceptionally excited, his blood accelerated, and the Lei Ji artistic conception also merged into his body.

"Shoo~"

"Awoo~"

A Gray-Spined Giant Wolf with a robust body and cunning eyes swiped its giant claws, but only swiped into an afterimage of lightning.

This was the second flash in "Lei Jijiu Flashes," with speed fast enough to form afterimages in place, confusing the opponent.

Lin Qi's eyes shone; he had cultivated for a month, accumulating and waiting for the right moment; under intense pressure, he felt he was about to break through.

Thinking of this, the speed of his spear thrusts became faster, tearing through the air, with the power of a river breaking its banks.

"Awoo~"

"Heh~ heh!"

"Puff puff puff~"

In the crazy slaughter, accompanied by the roars of disaster beasts, one disaster beast after another fell, the smell of blood filled the air, and Lin Qi gradually reached the peak.

The "Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Art" he performed accumulated and waited for the right moment, and finally produced a qualitative change!
