Chapter 516

Within the Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang's line of sight, the man in black-gold battle armor wielded his great spear, and golden spear Gangjin was released.

The surrounding Level 5 and 6 Calamity Beasts were pierced through the body one after another by the spear, and their massive bodies collapsed to the ground with a crash.

Accompanied by the sound of explosions, fresh blood sprayed wildly!

With one spear strike, he easily killed any Calamity Beast.

The person the Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang was watching was naturally Lin Qi.

"This kid is even more powerful than I imagined!"

The Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang stroked his beard and smiled.

He is very clear about the gold content of the Level 12 Calamity Beast of the Ten Thousand Beast Blood Pillar.

He was the one who originally comprehended the high-level cultivation method of the Level 12 Calamity Beast, and only then could his strength enter the top five of the Xia Guo.

That goes without saying for the top six among the Level 12 Calamity Beasts.

Those who can comprehend it are all existences ranked in the top ten globally today.

He clearly remembers that the Overlord and the Red Emperor both stepped onto the battlefield as soon as they cultivated Gangjin.

Facing these Level 7 Calamity Beasts, they could slaughter them at will and suppress countless high-level Calamity Beasts.

They successfully allowed countless people in the Xia Guo to see the hope of victory.

Lin Qi is the same now.

"The Steel-Boned Giant Tiger and the Iron-Armored Rhino are also powerful existences among Level 7 Calamity Beasts."

"And they were blasted to death just like that!"

"Lin Qi has the demeanor of the Red Emperor and the Overlord!"

And such a genius is his grand-disciple, which couldn't help but make him feel proud.

He had taken in quite a few disciples before, but in terms of quality, they were still a bit inferior to the Red Emperor and the Overlord.

"Senior Huo, this is Lin Qi, right?"

"His strength is indeed very strong!"

A woman beside him, wearing blue battle armor, with a tall figure and charming features, said in surprise.

The Mountain and Senior Shanhe Wang nodded and smiled:

"That's right, he is my grand-disciple!"

……

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.

The Calamity Beast tide started around 8:30 in the morning.

Now 7 hours had passed.

It was already afternoon.

The battlefield was still lively, filled everywhere with artillery fire and the roars of Calamity Beasts.

Smoke and the smell of blood permeated the air.

Compared to several hours ago, the Calamity Beast tide had already begun to recede, or rather, it was being killed to the point where it couldn't form a tide anymore.

Everywhere were the carcasses of Calamity Beasts!

"Pfft~"

Senior Brother Liang Tai wielded the silver great spear in his hand and quickly pierced through the body of a Bronze Python Bull.

"Whoosh!!"

By this time, he was already stained red with blood, and his entire body was covered in the blood of Calamity Beasts.

Intense exhaustion surged into his heart, and he couldn't stop gasping for air.

"Boom! Boom!!"

Looking around again, there were no traces of living Calamity Beasts left.

Wang Zhixuan, Xiao Yu, and Xi Jing also finished their battles one after another.

Their faces were filled with uncontrollable exhaustion.

Xiao Yu even sat down on the carcass of the Bronze Python Bull.

And not far away, a hundred meters away, the figure in black armor pierced out with a long spear, shooting out spear Gangjin like arrows.

All the surrounding Calamity Beasts were pierced through.

The number of Calamity Beasts killed by one person was equivalent to the amount killed by dozens of Sixth Realm martial artists.

The number of Calamity Beasts killed by the four of them wasn't even half of Lin Qi's.

Facing mid-level Calamity Beasts, the opponent was conducting a dimensional strike.

Liang Tai followed by Lin Qi's side and also reaped quite a few benefits.

The Merit Points from several hours were equivalent to several days of usual work.

Senior Brother Liang Tai was the first to speak:

"The Calamity Beast tide has reached its end, our physical strength has bottomed out, we can go back!"

Lin Qi came over; he had gained a lot in these few hours, saved many people, and killed many Calamity Beasts.

His Merit Points were climbing steadily; he hadn't looked closely yet, but there should be quite a lot.

His ranking should also be able to improve.

Senior Brother continued:

"Here at the base, as long as you feel exhausted, never force yourself."

"Return to the base as soon as possible to rest; a typical Calamity Beast tide will last for a day or two."

"Many martial artists return to the base to rest when they are tired, and then continue hunting."

"Anyway, everyone runs fast, and the war zone is only these dozen kilometers!"

Lin Qi nodded; it was time to reap the rewards again.

And so, the group quickly returned!

"Boom! Boom!!"

Soon they returned to the defensive line, and there were many others with them.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

On the black armored vehicles, Gatling-style machine guns were installed, frantically pouring bullets at the low-level Calamity Beasts rushing over!

Those that were slightly stronger needed to be blasted directly by tanks; one shell fired, and the low-level Calamity Beasts couldn't withstand it at all.

Their bodies would be blasted into fragments, and then they would be useless.

Only mid-level martial artists could withstand it, and the carcasses could be kept intact to be sold for money.

Therefore, by comparison, the military prefers martial artists to hunt Calamity Beasts.

Thermal weapons are all too crude.

"Pfft! Pfft~~"

On the way back, Lin Qi and a group of martial artists hunted quite a few low-level Calamity Beasts, easing the pressure on the defensive line.

Entering the gate, Liang Tai led everyone to the rest hall next to the gate.

At this time, quite a few martial artists were sitting inside; they looked exhausted, started drinking water to rest, and their bodies were permeated with a thick murderous aura and the smell of blood.

"Ah!!"

There were also people treating their wounds; their combat suits were torn, their skin was cut open, and they were bleeding.

In such an environment, there were still people eating nutritional meals, not affected by eating at all.

In the spacious hall, there were a large number of windows selling medical supplies, healing potions, and other items.

In the corner, there were rows of metal cabinets, opened by passwords, containing a large number of items.

Liang Tai familiarly opened a cabinet, took out bottles of functional drinks, and handed them to everyone.

"Thanks, Captain!"

Everyone took out towels, drank the drinks, and used the towels to wipe the blood and dust off their bodies.

"Gulp, gulp~"

While Lin Qi was drinking water, Senior Brother Liang Tai introduced again.

"Little Junior Brother, this is our rest hall, because the accommodation area is too far away."

"Everyone usually rests here; it's close and very convenient."

"Each person can rent a cabinet to put things in, so they can use them immediately when they come back to rest."

Lin Qi nodded; resting on the battlefield is equivalent to courting death!

One must return to the base; that is absolute safety.

"Little Junior Brother, we still need to continue hunting Calamity Beasts this afternoon; are you coming with us?"

Liang Tai asked.

In the morning, with Lin Qi's help, they had earned quite a few Merit Points.

Even if Lin Qi left now, it wouldn't matter.

Lin Qi shook his head: "Let's continue!"

"For the next Calamity Beast tide, I'll act on my own!"

Liang Tai nodded, feeling grateful in his heart.

He knew his little junior brother wanted to help them get more Merit Points.

Without Lin Qi, it wouldn't be so easy for them to hunt Calamity Beasts again.

Then everyone started ordering nutritional meals, preparing to eat before continuing to hunt Calamity Beasts.

"Let me tell you!"

"I was on the front line just now and saw the battles of the high-realm martial artists."

"The intensity of those battles was just... I didn't dare to get close at all."

Among the group, several people started chatting, attracting quite a bit of attention.

In the entire rest hall, high-realm martial artists were basically rarely seen.

Their physical constitution is completely different and on a different level.

With high-realm martial artists absent, Sixth Realm martial artists are the top existences.

A burly man with a tall stature and rugged features spoke, his body radiating a strong murderous aura.

His face had several scars, and he had the temperament of a veteran.

"That is Zhang Chuan, an old-timer at the Black Dragon Base; it is said he has been at the Black Dragon Base for 15 years, fighting his way up step by step from a mid-realm martial artist."

"Sixth Realm peak, he will soon be able to break through to the Seventh Realm."

"Their squad can be said to be the strongest team at the Black Dragon Base, all of them are at the Sixth Realm peak."

Senior Brother Liang Tai introduced, and Lin Qi nodded; he had already felt the temperament on the opponent.

Zhang Chuan slowly sighed:

"I have to say, this group of Seventh Realm geniuses is truly strong."

"I just saw Gu Cheng, within three hours, surrounded by a group of Level 7 Calamity Beasts, killing 10 of them in succession."

"That strength is truly terrifying; it feels even easier than me killing Level 6 Calamity Beasts."

"Gu Cheng has only been at the Black Dragon Base for a few months."

A teammate beside him said:

"Fire Dragon Blade Gu Cheng is an SSS-level genius, after all; he's not the same as us ordinary people."

"He is now ranked 100th on the Seventh Realm leaderboard; give him a few more months, and he might be able to charge into the top ten."

"Getting into the top ten is relatively difficult; Xu Qin is also an SSS-level genius."

"She arrived at the base after Gu Cheng, and she is already 80th."

"Not to mention there are Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing; they are still ranked first and second."

"To this day, no one has been able to surpass those two."

"They are heaven-defying existences capable of killing Level 8 Calamity Beasts!"

Upon hearing this, two terrifying figures appeared in the old man's mind.

Two figures also appeared in Zhang Chuan's mind; in his 15 years at the Black Dragon Base, he had never seen such terrifying geniuses.

Suddenly, someone else said:

"Speaking of which, this morning, I saw Gu Cheng's younger brother, Gu Ming, being pressed to the ground by someone."

"His kneecaps must definitely be broken, right?"

These words immediately aroused Zhang Chuan's curiosity.

In the distance, Liang Tai and the others also looked at Lin Qi one after another.

"I know it was Lin Qi who did it!"

Someone said.

"Lin Qi is also a top-tier genius; it is said he is also only 20 years old and is already a Seventh Realm genius."

"With his younger brother being humiliated in public by Lin Qi, Gu Cheng will likely look for trouble with Lin Qi."

"Who do you think is stronger if these two fight?" someone asked.

"Gu Cheng is stronger; he is also the champion of the Global Martial Arts Competition and broke through to the Seventh Realm earlier."

Everyone began to discuss Gu Cheng and Lin Qi, and who among the two is more powerful.

Lin Qi sat in the corner with a calm expression.

And Liang Tai and the four of them had somewhat solemn expressions; they were worried that Gu Cheng would look for trouble with Lin Qi.

Lin Qi saw their thoughts and smiled: "Don't worry about me!"

"Gu Cheng, that's all!"

Seeing Lin Qi so calm, Liang Tai felt relieved and planned to report the incident to Master Mu Hong in the evening.

A moment later, the nutritional meal was delivered.

And Lin Qi had Xiao Chan open his personal center and project it as a small panel.

He watched while eating:

【Name: Lin Qi (Black Dragon Base)】

【Realm: Seventh Realm Blood Exchange】

【Merit Points: 32000】

【Base Ranking: 406→404】

【Overall Ranking: 3600→3580】

……

Lin Qi looked at the ranking and couldn't help but shake his head.

The competition for the Seventh Realm ranking is too intense.

He killed for a whole morning and only surpassed two people.
