Chapter 445

"Bang!!"

Lin Qi unleashed his massive strength, the black great spear wrapped in golden spear light, slamming fiercely onto the Iron-Spine Battle Bear's head.

Accompanied by a heavy sound, an invisible air wave spread outward with him as the center.

The spear light swept out like heaven and earth collapsing.

"Roar~"

"Crack!"

The Iron-Spine Battle Bear let out a roar, its skull instantly shattered, blood spraying from its mouth, nose, and ears, its massive body slamming violently onto the ground in mid-air.

"Bang!"

The concrete road was smashed into a large crater, the shockwave spreading outward, kicking up large amounts of dust.

The two Rending-Claw Apes in the distance were knocked to the ground by the shockwave.

"Bang!"

Lin Qi's feet stepped heavily onto the ground, forming a spiderweb-like crater.

He swung the great spear again, golden force releasing and condensing into spear light, thrusting out, the Mountain and River artistic conception merging into it and shooting out.

"Roar~"

Amidst the Rending-Claw Ape's roar, the spear light blasted into its mouth, piercing through its skull and exploding.

At the same time, he charged toward the second Rending-Claw Ape, the black great spear presenting a straight line, the momentum like mountains and rivers breaking, the artistic conception flowing.

The spear tip pierced through the air and thrust into the Rending-Claw Ape's throat, hot blood splashing out along the spear shaft and landing on Lin Qi.

"Roar~"

Accompanied by the Rending-Claw Ape's roar coming to an abrupt end, the entire concrete road returned to silence.

"Whoosh~"

Lin Qi exhaled, intense exhaustion surging into his heart; he was completely drained.

The next instant, the surrounding space stilled, and information popped up before him.

【Student Lin Qi, congratulations on successfully passing the 16th-floor trial.】

【Congratulations on passing all the trials of the Disaster Beast Trial Tower; you are now able to step onto the battlefield and fight against disaster beasts.】

【Grade Ranking: 1】

【Overall Ranking: 5→1】

……

After seeing the popped-up information, Lin Qi was also a bit dazed.

Two years of time, and he had finally cleared all the trials of the Disaster Beast Trial Tower.

At the same time, he had successfully surpassed the four top geniuses—Lei Shuang, Meng Yuxuan, Zhang Tianyang, and Senior Shen Heng—successfully reaching the top!

And the reason he was able to pass the 16th-floor trial was because his spear technique had achieved a breakthrough.

On his panel, various data points were also updated.

【In the Disaster Beast Trial Tower, you fought against 1000 disaster beasts, your spear technique accumulated and broke through, the "Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Art" achieved a breakthrough, spear technique reached the late stage of Tier 4, spear technique +1%】

【Fighting against 1000 disaster beasts, you mastered the second killing move of the "Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Art" — Heaven and Earth Return to Ruins, spear technique +3%】

【Fighting against 1000 disaster beasts, your movement technique accumulated and broke through, movement technique +3%】

【Spear Technique: Tier 4 59%→Tier 4 63%】

【Movement Technique: Tier 4 53%→Tier 4 56%】

……

After seeing the information on the panel, Lin Qi instantly smiled.

His spear technique had achieved a breakthrough, successfully reaching the late stage of Tier 4, and he had mastered the second killing move of the "Mountain and Shanhe Qiang Fa Art" — Heaven and Earth Return to Ruins.

This was something that only Seventh Realm martial artists could achieve.

Most geniuses broke through to the martial arts realm first, and then broke through their martial arts techniques.

Most Seventh Realm martial artists broke through to the Seventh Realm first, and then let their martial arts techniques break through to the late stage of Tier 4.

But he was different; at the late stage of the Sixth Realm, his spear technique realm had already broken through to the late stage of Tier 4.

"With my current strength, I am enough to deal with Seventh Realm martial artists."

Lin Qi gripped the great spear tightly, his Vajra Fist perfected, plus his physical constitution far exceeding martial artists of the same realm.

Coupled with the late-stage Tier 4 spear technique, it gave him strong confidence.

"Still not enough, I must awaken quickly."

Lin Qi shook his head; he was not strong enough yet, so he chose to exit the Disaster Beast Trial Tower.

A few seconds later.

There was no one outside the tower.

Everyone was participating in the Global Martial Arts Tournament. No one discovered that he had already cleared the Disaster Beast Trial Tower.

……

Time passed unknowingly until 8:00 PM.

After half a day, the fourth round of the main tournament officially ended.

The 250 strongest contestants were all decided.

Everyone logged off to eat or rest.

In the Star Abode, the exclusive luxury villa for SSS-rank geniuses.

Inside the martial arts room, Senior Shen Heng, with a slender figure and wearing a black martial arts suit, felt his whole body heating up.

He sat cross-legged, his hands in the five-hearts-to-the-sky position.

Just a moment ago, he had not only consumed 50 kilograms of Level 8 disaster beast flesh and blood but also consumed a top-tier resource—Marrow-Cleansing Potion.

He thought to himself.

!

"Resources cannot be saved."

"I must push myself to break through to the Seventh Realm."

Thinking of this, he operated the marrow-refining method and began the final marrow refining.

"Zzz!!"

At the same time, under his skin, silver patterns emerged and wandered over his body.

Simultaneously, his face began to twist, and intense stinging pain surged from the gaps in his bones.

But he endured it all; this bit of pain was nothing to him.

At the same time, the consumed Level 8 disaster beast flesh and blood and the Marrow-Cleansing Potion began to take effect.

The Marrow-Cleansing Potion made him feel his bone marrow being constantly flushed, and a large amount of impurities he hadn't noticed before were being flushed away.

He felt he was getting closer and closer to the Flawless Marrow, which was marrow refining like frost.

Four hours later, the time reached 12 o'clock.

Inside the martial arts room.

Senior Shen Heng, whose whole body was wrapped in electric currents, opened his eyes suddenly, and a terrifying aura erupted from him.

An intense and vigorous aura was released from him; it was his Qi and blood surging and constantly renewing.

He felt his body undergoing a transformation, and his physical constitution was significantly improved.

"Is this the Seventh Realm blood exchange?"

"This feeling is too strong; I feel my physical constitution has become much stronger."

Senior Shen Heng clenched his fists and revealed an excited smile; having been stuck at the peak of the Sixth Realm for several months, he had finally broken through.

The power of lightning and Qi and blood mixed, causing his entire aura to undergo a qualitative transformation.

Now he was also a Seventh Realm martial artist, and he had the confidence to compete for the championship.

……

At the same time.

Star Abode Villa No. 36.

A luxurious black electric car stopped at the gate.

Lin Qi got out of the car and entered the villa with his backpack and the Tiger-Slaying great spear.

Returning to the villa, at this time, several plates were placed on the living room table, all filled with roasted, sizzling disaster beast flesh and blood, the fragrance mouth-watering.

Lin Qi, who had been training in the gravity room for five hours, had consumed too much physical strength.

He began to feast.

Half an hour later, 200 kilograms of disaster beast flesh and blood were in his stomach, including 50 kilograms of Level 8 disaster beast flesh and blood.

But Lin Qi had Xiaochan control the intelligent robot to roast another 200 kilograms of flesh and blood, just in case.

Having eaten his fill, Lin Qi changed into a black martial arts suit, sat cross-legged, and placed his hands in the five-hearts-to-the-sky position.

Then he began today's training.

"I have been training in the gravity room for five hours, and my body is exhausted."

"The energy in my cells is greatly consumed, and coupled with the consumption of a large amount of disaster beast flesh and blood, it is enough to make my Qi and blood values break through."

Lin Qi felt his body warm, and an invisible force was also gestating within.

The abnormal pain was about to awaken.

So he couldn't wait to start training.

"Whoosh~"

After adjusting his breathing, he operated the marrow-refining method from the "Platinum Fierce Tiger Evolution Method."
