Chapter 434: Former Opponents (Seeking Monthly Votes)

At the same time, there were also many former opponents who recognized Lin Qi.

The familiar black combat suit, as well as the fierce and domineering spear technique.

Made them recall the experience of being defeated by Lin Qi.

Miyamoto Xianyichiro saw Lin Qi kill a six-level disaster beast and almost thought he had seen it wrong.

He spoke with a solemn expression, and others also nodded in acknowledgment.

"Lin Qi of the Xia Guo has become even stronger."

As a top-tier SS-rank genius of the Cherry Blossom Nation, the gap to an SSS-rank genius would not be too large.

Now he had also just broken through the Fifth Realm not long ago.

Using special abilities, the situation of small divine powers, even if he went all out, he could only barely kill a six-level disaster beast.

He couldn't do what Lin Qi did, not using special abilities or small divine powers, and easily kill a six-level disaster beast.

This strength, he had only seen in third-year SSS-rank geniuses.

"How strong is Lin Qi now?"

At the same time, like Viktor of the Mao Bear Nation, as well as Xavier of the White Eagle Federation, their expressions all became solemn.

"Lin Qi of the Xia Guo, his strength has already far surpassed us!"

They could see more things; compared to last year, Lin Qi had become even stronger.

Even in the Global Martial Arts Tournament where third and fourth years were mixed, Lin Qi was one of the most top-tier players.

They seemed to have already been pulled into a huge gap.

This feeling made him feel bad in his heart.

They were all top-tier geniuses, yet they were left far behind by someone of the same age.

They felt unwilling in their hearts, but were helpless.

The first match lasted for 40 minutes before ending.

200,000 players, facing the dense disaster beast tide, and without the resources of thermal weapons, were swallowed clean by disaster beasts one by one.

【The first match of the preliminary rounds officially ends!】

One hour later, the space on the earth was paused, and all disaster beasts turned into particles and dissipated.

And the intelligent voice also sounded in the ears of the players, and they were transported back to their respective countries' player areas one after another.

Lin Qi was also the same.

In these 40 minutes, he also felt the pressure.

It was truly that there were too many five- and six-level disaster beasts.

It was not like the disaster beast hunting tournament, which only prepared dozens of five- and six-level disaster beasts.

The disaster beasts within it were endless, as if there was no end forever.

This was the simulated real battlefield.

Endless disaster beasts surged out, and they couldn't be killed even if they were killed.

If it were a real battlefield, it would be even more dangerous, because there were high-level disaster beasts.

If one was not careful, one would be trampled to death by a high-level disaster beast.

The first round of the preliminary rounds was just like an exercise.

Otherwise, if one didn't understand anything and stepped onto the battlefield, one would be like just now, all cannon fodder, and wouldn't even know how one died.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge!"

After Lin Qi returned, everyone also let out exclamations.

Especially Guo Heng, Guanshan, Wang Qiufeng, and others; Lin Lin Qi Ge now was truly too amazing.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, you are too fierce."

"Killing a six-level disaster beast is as easy as killing a chicken."

Lin Qi laughed: "When you reach the Sixth Realm, naturally you will also be able to do it."

"Sixth Realm, wait!!"

Everyone came back to their senses, looking at each other; did Lin Lin Qi Ge mean that he had already broken through to the Sixth Realm?

Even the awakened geniuses like Wan Ming and Yu Zhuoran were surprised.

This was also too fast, right?

Since when was the realm so easy to break through?

Was this the talent of an SSS-rank genius?

Then looking at it this way, Lin Qi and Chu Yu were now at the same realm.

It had only been less than a year, and he had completed the surpassing.

And only Lin Qi could do it.

Chu Yu not far away also felt the pressure; Lin Qi's speed of progress was too fast.

Now he seemed to have completely surpassed him, and he no longer had any advantage.

At this time, in an area, this was a huge spectator area, where all the high-level martial artists of the Xia Guo were sitting.

The Shanhe King, with a resolute face and a tall and sturdy figure, sat among them.

Looking at everyone's performance, he shook his head.

"In their current state, stepping onto the battlefield is just sending themselves to death; they must be allowed to gain more practical combat experience."

Vice Principal Xu Wenji not far away nodded and said:

"Through the preliminary rounds, geniuses can also grow, and it will also be more beneficial for them to step onto the battlefield."

Others also nodded; on the battlefield, surviving is the first priority.

The second priority is hunting more disaster beasts.

So on the battlefield, once one feels there is a problem with physical strength, one will immediately return to the base to rest, and no one will say anything about you.

The first round of the preliminary rounds was still continuing, but Lin Qi had already gone offline.

If every round lasted about 40 minutes, then 20 matches would require at least about 13 hours.

Not considering the time for eating and resting.

So the first round of the preliminary rounds would take two days.

This provided Lin Qi with more cultivation time; after coming out of the virtual cabin, he headed to the gravity room.

After arriving at the Sky Dome Academy, their group of geniuses could have 90 hours of cultivation time every month.

An average of three hours of cultivation time per day was enough for him.

He now had two goals: one was to awaken a second special ability.

Two was to let his spear technique break through to the late Fourth Stage, practice the second killing move, and successfully pass the 16th layer of the trial.

If there was enough time, these could all be realized.

If he could do these, then the championship would be stable.

Even if Shen Heng broke through to the Seventh Realm now, it would be useless.

... May 3rd.

After two days, the second round of the preliminary rounds officially ended.

20 matches ended, successfully eliminating more than 19.8 million players.

Among them were many players who could enter the main tournament, but were eliminated due to accidents.

But they no longer had a chance.

Red Realm, the scene of the Global Martial Arts Tournament.

All players came online, standing in front of Tiananmen, and chaotic sounds entered his ears.

"It's a pity, I was too nervous facing the disaster beast tide yesterday, which led to my poor performance; if it came again, I would definitely be able to persist to the end."

"That's your psychological quality not being good enough, you still need to practice more."

"There is one more round, persist, and you will be able to advance to the main tournament."

"Boom!!"

!

In everyone's line of sight, the Shanhe King, wearing a silver robe printed with green mountain-and-river patterns, was projected out again.

His momentum was as thick as a mountain, his face was resolute, and he spoke slowly:

"After two days, the first round of the preliminary rounds officially ends."

"Congratulations to the players who advanced, you will receive 20 million Xia Guo coins."

His words made many players from small countries reveal smiles.

"At the same time, next, we will also conduct the second round of the preliminary rounds."

"The same competition rules, we will divide into ten matches, each match with 20,000 players, and when there are only 2,000 players left, the elimination match ends."

"Among 200,000 players, only 20,000 players can advance to the main tournament."

"And the players who advance to the main tournament will receive a reward of 50 million Xia Guo coins."

50 million Xia Guo coins?

This money is not a small amount; many geniuses spend money on resources in a year, and it doesn't reach 50 million.

Now, one needs to persist to the end in the second round to be able to get it.

For most, it is already a very rich sum of money.

Some geniuses have money at home, but there are also quite a few people spending money.

After all, the country encourages having more children, and most geniuses have brothers and sisters at home.

Geniuses all need money to cultivate, and there are not many families that can take out 50 million in one breath.

So many geniuses are in great need of this large sum of money.

"I announce that the second round of the preliminary rounds officially begins!"

After the Shanhe King announced with a resonant voice, the intelligent voice sounded in the ears of 20,000 people.

They were shrouded in crimson light pillars one after another, descending onto the arena, and the Iron Great Wall appeared again.

Dark, endless disaster beast groups also pressed down.

The number of martial artists this time was fewer, but the number of disaster beasts was still the same.

Everyone's pressure became even greater.

Those with weak strength might not be able to persist to the end at all and would be swallowed by disaster beasts.

Jiang Tao looked at the many players fighting with disaster beasts and sighed:

"Wanting to get this 50 million Xia Guo coin reward is actually not easy."

"200,000 players, among which our Xia Guo players account for one-fifth, which is 40,000 people."

"Among them, only 20,000 players can enter the main tournament; our Xia Guo has about 4,000 players."

"Divided equally among the three top academies, there are only a thousand or so."

"Everyone is a top-tier genius."

Others nodded; if they were not A-rank geniuses, or fourth-year geniuses, it was indeed difficult to get the reward.

Lin Qi nodded secretly; 50 million was just a small amount of money for him.

But it was different for others.

His gaze locked onto the players hunting disaster beasts; the weak ones were all eliminated in the first round.

The remaining ones were all experts, and Low Realm martial artists could almost no longer be seen.

The weakest were also at the level of Fourth Realm martial artists.

Fifth Realm and Sixth Realm martial artists were also emerging one after another.

And the strong ones were all fourth-year students; other grades were all cannon fodder.

Especially some Sixth Realm martial artists, they released various different special abilities.

They were all strong enemies in the upcoming main tournament.

50 minutes later, the first match officially ended.

The second match also followed!

Lin Qi was also shrouded in red light, descending outside the Iron Great Wall.

"Roar~"

A moment later, Lin Qi was surrounded by countless disaster beasts.

His current situation was even more dangerous than the 16th layer of the disaster beast trial tower.

After all, the 16th layer had at most 1,000 disaster beasts.

And in front of him, there were tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of disaster beasts.

"Puff~ Puff~"

In the process of crazy slaughter, he activated his body technique, continuously dodging the attacks of disaster beasts.

"Shanhe Spear Technique" was performed.

"Bang bang!!"

While one four- or five-level disaster beast after another fell with a bang, Lin Qi also felt that the bottlenecks of his spear technique and body technique had loosened.

The pressure stimulated his body and consciousness, letting him erupt with stronger potential.

His usual cultivation finally accumulated and broke out, and the quantity formed a qualitative change.

One hour later.

Lin Qi only felt his body become different, and the artistic conception flowing in the spear technique became even stronger.

His body technique also became lighter, and "Thunder Extreme Nine Flashes" also became four flashes.

Both his spear technique and body technique had achieved breakthroughs.

【Second match ends, number of survivors: 2000/200000】

The 2,000 players who survived also successfully advanced to the main tournament.
