Chapter 430: Jin Gang Fist Completion (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Soon, the geniuses of the Sky Dome Academy's first year discovered that there was a new SS-rank genius in the class.

But they soon lost interest, because they needed to devote themselves wholeheartedly to cultivation.

Jiang Miaoyin also felt the intense competitive atmosphere of the Sky Dome Academy, and looking at her own ranking in last place.

Her fighting spirit was immediately high.

She also quickly devoted herself to arduous cultivation.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of April, and the Global Freshman Tournament officially began.

The Global Freshman Tournament required four days.

April 29th.

The Global Freshman Tournament had already reached its final few rounds.

The freshmen of the Sky Dome Academy's first year also joined in, and their powerful strength shocked the world, sweeping through everything along the way.

Even the SSS-rank geniuses of various countries joined the competition.

Among them, Wang Hailong crushed all opponents with absolute strength and successfully won the championship of the Global Freshman Tournament.

Jiang Miaoyin, because her awakening time was too short and she awakened as a Mental Master, was weakened quite severely compared to other special abilities.

In the end, she only entered the top 200.

This result was already very good for her.

On the night the Global Freshman Tournament ended.

Sky Dome Academy, inside the huge Gravity Cube, 316 Gravity Room.

"Buzz buzz!!"

The low-pitched gravity device started, emitting a faint sound, and a line of text clearly appeared on the electronic screen on the wall.

【Gravity Multiplier: 25】

Lin Qi, wearing a black martial arts uniform, was already soaked in sweat.

With his current physical fitness, he wouldn't easily sweat.

But facing the extreme gravity of 25 times, his body also felt exhausted.

Exhaustion was correct; it meant that the cultivation was effective. His figure was tall, and the muscles all over his body were like cast iron.

After resting simply for a moment, he continued to set up the stance of the Jin Gang Fist, slowly performing the five styles.

At the same time, golden patterns appeared on his skin.

Bursts of golden sharpness were released from his body like blades.

His eyes bloomed with golden light, and the special ability 【Golden Edge】 was released.

Under his control, the golden sharpness turned into strands of water, gathering and transforming in one go.

His control over 【Golden Edge】 had already reached the point of perfection.

"Still a bit off, still not enough!"

Lin Qi's gaze was firm, continuously controlling the power of the Golden Edge; they were like invisible blades, also needing skillful mastery.

Letting every strand of them be directed and moved like his own arms.

One month of time, every day the fist technique was improving, and his control was also continuously improving.

Now, he was only one step away from completion.

Whether there was a breakthrough or not was completely two different levels.

Without a breakthrough, it was a 1.8 times combat power increase; with a breakthrough, it was a 2 times increase.

With his current physical fitness, a 0.2 gap was quite large.

And he was currently looking for this critical point.

"Bang!!"

While performing the fist technique, he circulated the power of the Golden Edge, and a golden luster appeared on the surface of his skin, like a suit of armor.

The power of the Golden Edge boiled, making his body feel bursts of stinging pain.

Lin Qi did not stop, but endured the pain and continued to perform the fist technique.

"Buzz buzz!!"

The golden light on his body became more and more dazzling, illuminating the entire gravity room, and his momentum also reached its peak.

At this moment, he performed the final style of "Jin Gang Fist": Return to One.

It was also the style he had never been able to perform completely.

"Boom!!"

His movements under the extreme gravity of 25 times became very slow, yet carried a mysterious charm. As he threw out both fists, the surrounding space seemed to solidify.

"Crack!"

Lin Qi only felt as if something had shattered inside his body, his whole body relaxed, and he seemed to have completely mastered the power of the Golden Edge.

Completely coming alive, the released power of the Golden Edge was no longer violent, but as soft as flowing water.

That was just his feeling; the Golden Edge was still indestructible, it was just that with a move of his mind.

The power of the Golden Edge highly condensed, all gathering into a ball, condensing into a huge golden blade, a full two meters long.

Under Lin Qi's control, the golden blade swung out, cutting through the air.

"Block!!"

The golden blade slashed onto the alloy wall of the gravity room, erupting with the sound of metal clashing.

After the collision, the golden blade turned into golden light rain and scattered in the sky.

Then, under Lin Qi's control, they gathered together again, turning into a golden blade once more, only it kept dividing.

Strands of the power of the Golden Edge turned into golden blades one after another, slashing at the same spot on the alloy wall.

"Clang clang clang!!"

The entire gravity room was shrouded in golden light, accompanied by intense sounds.

Finally, the golden light dissipated, leaving a one-inch mark on the silver wall.

Lin Qi felt the surging power flowing inside his body and revealed a smile. He had finally successfully practiced the final style: Return to One.

Of the five styles of Jin Gang Fist, he had never been able to practice the final style until now, when Return to One was practiced, his fist technique was also completely perfected.

The so-called Return to One was not forced suppression, under one's own control, but completely merging into one with it.

He was the Golden Edge, the Golden Edge was him, the true Return to One.

With the fist technique perfected, his combat power increase naturally reached two times.

Thinking of this, his gaze also locked onto the panel.

【In the 25-times gravity environment, you successfully comprehended the final style of "Jin Gang Fist": Return to One, Jin Gang Fist broke through to completion, completely mastered the special ability, combat power increase reached 2 times, Fist Technique +10%】

【In the 25-times gravity environment, Jin Gang Fist broke through, your marrow-refining efficiency improved, marrow quality improved, Qi and Blood Value +20】

【Qi and Blood Value: 2970 -> 2990】

【Fist Technique: Fourth Stage 70% -> Fourth Stage 80%】

Lin Qi looked at the data on the panel, his whole body relaxed.

!

Now the Jin Gang Fist was finally perfected.

The combat power increase also successfully reached 2 times, causing his combat power to soar.

Then he came to the wall, rubbing the scratches on the alloy wall.

"The wall of the gravity room uses a special alloy; only by reaching the destructive power of a Seventh Realm martial artist can one leave scratches on it."

"And I am currently only at the Sixth Realm of marrow-refining, which means my combat power has already reached the Seventh Realm."

Lin Qi looked at his Qi and Blood Value again; in two months, his Qi and Blood Value had also advanced by leaps and bounds.

Now, he was only 10 points of Qi and Blood Value away from the late Sixth Realm, and he would be able to break through tomorrow.

And his combat power had also reached the Seventh Realm.

"Gulp~"

Lin Qi drank three bottles of functional drinks in a row, feeling confident.

"Now, facing Shen Heng, I also have the confidence to contend with him."

However, he still felt it wasn't enough; as long as he awakened a second special ability, with the two abilities superimposed, he might be able to erupt with an even stronger combat power increase.

In the evening, the students of the second, third, and fourth years of the Sky Dome Academy all received a notification.

To come to the Sky Dome Building for a meeting.

In the tiered classroom on the 3rd floor, 51 students were all present, and the atmosphere in the air was exceptionally serious.

Liu Yuanzhang, wearing a white robe, with a short, sturdy figure and large earlobes, looked around at everyone and spoke slowly:

"Just today, the Global Freshman Tournament officially ended."

"And tomorrow, the Global Martial Arts Tournament will also officially begin."

"Globally, currently 80 countries, all martial arts university students from the second to fourth years can participate."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone discovered something wrong.

Jiang Tao, sitting in the middle, said in a low voice: "I remember when I participated in the Global Freshman Tournament last year, it was still 86 countries, now it has become 80."

Wan Ming spoke:

"Those are all small countries that have already been completely destroyed, and their countries have already been occupied by disaster beasts."

"Some citizens of small Eastern countries have all fled to our country."

Others shook their heads after hearing this; with the current situation, small countries simply couldn't resist, and they didn't even have Ninth Realm martial artists.

Their defensive ability was too weak, and as time passed, they would only be destroyed one after another.

The Space Gate could not be closed, and countless disaster beasts came to the Blue Star; other countries would also suffer.

Lin Qi also had a solemn expression; according to this situation, in a few decades, there might be less than ten countries left on the entire Blue Star.

Liu Yuanzhang projected a green big screen, which introduced the rules of the Martial Arts Tournament in detail, and he pointed to the big screen and continued to say:

"This Global Martial Arts Tournament does not limit the number of people; three years, there will be more than 20 million geniuses globally entering the competition."

"20 million geniuses globally competing on the same field!"

"The purpose of holding the Global Martial Arts Tournament is fairness and justice; there will be no differential treatment because of countries."

"If you have the strength, you can advance."

"According to the competition rules, the geniuses who entered the top 1000 in last year's Global Martial Arts Tournament will be seed players and will not need to participate in the preliminary rounds."

"Just like the various events you participated in before, the Global Martial Arts Tournament is divided into preliminary rounds and the main tournament."

"There are two rounds in the preliminary rounds; only 20,000 players can successfully advance to the main tournament."

"The other more than 19.98 million players will be eliminated."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt nothing.

Because they were all from the Sky Dome Academy, awakened geniuses, destined to enter the main tournament.

They were the top geniuses of the Xia Nation, and at the same time, they were also the most top-tier geniuses globally.

The preliminary rounds and the main tournament before them had no difficulty for them at all.

Liu Yuanzhang switched pages and continued to introduce:

"Starting tomorrow, the preliminary rounds will officially begin."

"And the content of the preliminary rounds is very simple; it will divide you 20 million players into different groups, divided into 20 groups in total."

"Each group has 200,000 players; you will be dropped into a virtual battlefield, simulating a real disaster beast tide."

"In it, you will face the dual test of disaster beasts and opponents, and it will end when there are only 10,000 players left."

"After the first round ends, there will only be 200,000 players left, eliminating 1980 players."

"In the second round, after eliminating 180,000 players, the remaining people will successfully advance to the main tournament."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh that this rule was truly cruel.

Lin Qi felt that this competition rule also had deep meaning, as if it were prepared for stepping onto the battlefield.
