Chapter 438: Famous (Seeking Monthly Votes)

The first round of the main tournament was divided into ten matches, each match lasting 30 minutes.

6 hours, one day was enough to end it.

May 4th, the weather was sunny.

In Star Abode Villa No. 36.

Inside the martial arts room, Lin Qi, with a tall and straight figure, had his eyes closed, and in front of him was a blue scroll.

The air was silent, but his consciousness space was exceptionally lively.

"Awoo~"

A giant wolf roared toward the sky; its shoulder height exceeded 6 meters, its body length exceeded ten meters, and its whole body muscles were as hard as iron.

The fur presented a dark gray color, with a metallic luster.

This was a six-level disaster beast—Steel-Boned Giant Wolf.

It was visualized by Lin Qi; in the void consciousness space, besides the Steel-Boned Giant Wolf, there were also six-level disaster beasts Iron-Spined Battle Mao Xiong, Tyrant Tiger, Iron-Armored Rhino...

Ten disaster beasts with huge bodies like hills surrounded the Steel-Boned Giant Wolf and carried out a siege.

"Awoo~"

Lin Qi controlled the Steel-Boned Giant Wolf to fight with ten six-level disaster beasts, and his mental power vibrated.

His mental power was quenched and improved in the battle, and Lin Qi felt that his perception was also continuously becoming stronger.

Half an hour later.

"Awoo~"

The Steel-Boned Giant Wolf killed all ten six-level disaster beasts, its whole body shook, and his brain was clear and cool.

Lin Qi opened his eyes, and vast mental power was released from his body, spreading toward the surroundings.

【Your mental power cultivation technique "Thousand Disaster Records" achieved a breakthrough, your mental power improved, Mental Power +15】

【Mental Power: 3185 -> 3200】

"Whoosh~"

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, it formed bursts of breeze in the martial arts room.

Lin Qi stood up slowly, in high spirits, his gaze deep and bright.

His brain was refreshed, his thinking speed was getting faster and faster, and his perception of the surrounding environment was also more acute.

Looking at the improvement of mental power on the panel, mental power was higher than Qi and Blood Value; now it was already nearly two hundred points higher.

The higher the mental power, the better; the auxiliary effect on cultivation was also stronger.

At the same time, it would also make him break through more easily.

At the same time, he entered the virtual cabin again, logged into the Red Realm, and entered the Global Martial Arts Tournament.

"Buzz buzz!!"

A moment later, he appeared in the spectator area, and the sounds in his ears were still noisy.

"Brother Qi!"

Jiang Tao and others came online and greeted each other, and also started chatting.

Jiang Tao couldn't help but sigh:

"Wanting to enter the second round of the main tournament is truly difficult."

"There are only 1,000 spots, and distributed to each country, there are only a few."

"Our Xia Guo seems to only have 200-plus spots."

"Besides awakened geniuses, most are former fourth-year geniuses."

Guo Heng and others nodded; they had long been eliminated in the preliminary rounds.

Even S-rank geniuses like Ao Feng and Duan Chuchu were the same.

They might have to wait until the fourth year to have a chance to enter the second round of the main tournament.

Lin Qi's gaze was also placed on the points leaderboard.

【No. 2: Chu Yu (Xia Guo), Points: 312】

【No. 3: Tracy Campbell (White Eagle Federation), Points: 308】

【No. 4: Du Shanyan (Xia Guo), Points: 306】

【No. 5: Andrei (Mao Mao Xiong), Points: 303】

The top five were just the few of them.

At the same time, they were all SSS-rank geniuses; this year they had a full five SSS-rank geniuses.

It could already be considered creating a record.

Especially their Xia Guo, which had a full three SSS-rank geniuses.

As for other countries, there were no SSS-rank geniuses.

SSS-rank geniuses, born on average every two years, were seedlings for the future Ninth Realm.

But with three years gathered together, the gathered SSS-rank geniuses were also not few, a full nearly 20 people.

All were seed players for the top 32.

"Players!"

Above the arena, the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang, wearing a silver robe, was projected out under the aggregation of red light-and-shadow particles.

He looked around, and spoke slowly:

"The first round of the main tournament officially ends; let us congratulate 1,000 players for successfully entering the second round."

"Clap clap clap!!"

After the thunderous applause ended, the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang continued to speak:

"In the second round of the main tournament, 1,000 seed players will join in."

"According to the competition rules, 2,000 players will be randomly matched for the second round, and only 1,000 stronger players can advance to the third round."

"At the same time, the 1,000 players who enter the third round will receive 100 million Xia Guo coins, as well as 500 kilograms of seven-level disaster beast flesh."

As soon as these words were spoken, the spectator area boiled over.

"Hiss~"

"I didn't hear wrong, seven-level disaster beast flesh."

"Isn't that something only High Realm martial artists are qualified to consume?"

"We can actually consume it too?"

"In previous Global Martial Arts Tournaments, at most the bonus was rich; where would there be seven-level disaster beast flesh."

Most people in the spectator area boiled over; seven-level disaster beast flesh, although they hadn't eaten it, they also knew it was exceptionally precious.

But such a reward had nothing to do with them.

But for many unawakened fourth-year students, as well as some small countries, it was a rich reward.

Lin Qi was also happy in his heart after hearing this; there was seven-level disaster beast flesh as a reward in just the second round.

He didn't dare to imagine, if he fought to the top 32, or even the top 16, he might be able to get eight-level disaster beast flesh.

He had already experienced the effect of eight-level disaster beast flesh.

If he could get a few hundred more kilograms, he would also be able to improve to the peak of the Sixth Realm at a faster speed.

Of course, it would be even better if there were nine-level disaster beast flesh.

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang on the arena continued to speak:

"Next, the second round of the main tournament officially begins." Seeing him wave his big hand, the mountain-and-river artistic conception on his body emerged.

Towering and thick mountains, winding and agile rivers, both sides gathered, like a Tai Chi ink painting, projecting 2,000 names.

Condensed into a battle table with mountains and rivers as the background.

"Buzz!"

At the same time the battle table was condensed, 10 million pairs of eyes also locked onto it.

Lin Qi also looked over.

2,000 players, 1,000 battles, his gaze scanned like a radar, and he quickly saw his own name.

【No. 10: Lin Qi (Xia Guo) vs Song Zhengzai (Silla)】

After seeing this name, Lin Qi was slightly stunned for a moment.

!

He turned the name Song Zhengzai around in his mind, and finally remembered it.

Song Zhengzai was an SS-rank genius of the Silla Nation.

His strength was not bad, and he could also rank in the top 15 among SS-rank geniuses.

At this time, in the spectator area of the Silla Nation, Song Zhengzai, with a rough face and a sturdy figure, saw that his opponent was Lin Qi.

His face immediately became gloomy.

His goal was to rush into the top 500.

As a result, he didn't expect to be matched against Lin Qi in the first round.

Last year, he had witnessed with his own eyes how the other party defeated all SS-rank geniuses one by one and won the championship.

Being matched against the other party, basically he couldn't win.

Others nearby looked at Song Zhengzai with sympathy; they clearly felt that the confident momentum on the other party had completely dissipated.

"Buzz buzz!"

At the same time the battle table came out, the entire arena also changed.

The huge arena divided to form 8 small arenas.

【Please have the 16 players for the first 8 matches!】

Above the arena, the intelligent voice sounded.

In the spectator area, 16 players turned into crimson light pillars and descended onto the arena.

Regardless of male or female players, they changed into combat suits, wielded sharp weapons, and their whole bodies emitted powerful auras.

The weakest among them was also a Fifth Realm peak player; they could enter the second round.

Which meant they possessed the strength to kill insect-race transformed martial artists, and they had to kill quite a few, otherwise they couldn't enter the top 1000.

Only awakened geniuses had this ability.

More of the others were Sixth Realm geniuses.

In an area invisible to everyone, there was an exceptionally spacious high-level spectator area.

Similarly divided by 80 countries.

Especially the Xia Guo, White Eagle Federation, Mao Mao Xiong Nation, and other strong countries were divided together.

Especially the Xia Guo's position was in the central area.

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang, with a resolute face and a tall and sturdy figure, looked at the arena and couldn't help but nod:

"The quality of geniuses this year is not bad!"

Vice Principal Xu Wenji not far away also smiled and said:

"The situation is not good now, plus the establishment of the Sky Dome Academy."

"With pressure, the competitive atmosphere is also more intense, and strength naturally improves faster."

"Lin Qi is on stage!"

Suddenly, Dean Liu not far away spoke slowly.

Everyone's gaze looked toward one of the arenas, two crimson light pillars descended, and two figures walked out from them.

The gazes of the high-level officials also looked over.

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang, with a tall and sturdy figure, also looked at Lin Qi curiously.

"He is Lin Qi?"

"I heard you mention him; he is an SS-rank genius who only awakened last year."

"Now he already has the ability to defeat SSS-rank geniuses?"

Xu Wenji explained:

"Lin Qi's talent is very good; he was the champion of last year's Global Freshman Tournament."

"At that time, he hadn't awakened yet." 【438-135

"After awakening last year, he successfully defeated an SSS-rank genius in the Vault of Heaven Grand Competition, ultimately entering the top six. Even the S-rank geniuses in their third and fourth years were defeated by him."

"As of today, he still holds the 5th position in the Disaster Beast Trial Tower..."

After hearing about Lin Qi's achievements, King Shanhe nodded:

"I didn't expect there to be such a genius; I've certainly broadened my horizons today."

After speaking, his gaze rested on Lin Qi, who was tall and handsome, standing on the arena.

On the arena

Song Zhengzai wore a grey combat suit, waving a sharp silver horse-slaying saber with one hand.

He was burly and strong, with a height reaching two meters and ten centimeters.

His entire body exuded an aura as heavy as a mountain.

"Hoo~"

Song Zhengzai exhaled a breath, calming his nervous emotions.

Even though he was also an SS-rank genius, he hadn't been this nervous when facing the third-year Sixth Realm seniors at school.

A suffocating aura rushed toward him, making him shudder with fear.

【The 10th match officially begins!】

Above the arena, the intelligent voice rang out instantly.

"Roar~"

As the battle began, Song Zhengzai released a surging radiance from his body, and brown patterns emerged beneath his skin.

A large amount of golden sand appeared out of thin air, rapidly condensing into armor that shrouded him within.

"Hoo!!"

He brandished his weapon, let out a violent shout, and took the initiative to attack Lin Qi.

He raised his saber high to slash, and an artistic conception of a mountain manifested upon his body.

As soon as the battle started, Song Zhengzai unleashed his full strength.

He was a Fifth Realm Organ-Refining practitioner and unleashed his special ability, 【Heavy Earth】.

It made him slam down violently like a mountain.
