Chapter 539: Incompatible Spear Technique and Ruins (Seeking Monthly Votes)

At the same time, in a certain underground base of the Xia Guo.

Commander Lin, wearing a black mask, sat cross-legged, looking at the projected screen, and sighed secretly:

"Did it really fail?"

"For a genius like Lin Qi, the difficulty of wanting to kill him is like ascending to heaven."

"He was able to rise all the way; he definitely has great fortune on him. His rise can no longer be stopped."

"This assassination has already touched the bottom line of the Xia Guo and even various countries on the Blue Star; a storm is coming!"

"Perhaps the Xia Guo is going to play for real this time!"

"I should also prepare early!"

Martial Path Era 2048, November 25th.

Black Dragon Base, the second day after the super-large Calamity Beast tide erupted.

The Calamity Beast tide had completely ended!

Accommodation area, Room 206.

"Hoo hoo!!"

Inside the spacious Martial Path Room, fierce winds raged and heat steamed, as if a giant tiger had condensed.

Lin Qi, sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes suddenly.

A terrifying aura was released from his body; he spat out a mouthful of turbid air, expelling the waste gas from his internal organs.

He slowly stood up from the ground.

【You completed a cultivation session; your injuries have fully healed. In the battle with a strong enemy, your physical body was tempered, Qi-Blood Value +50】

【Qi-Blood Value: 9100 → 9150】

Lin Qi exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, his eyes bright, blooming with golden light.

Last night, plus this morning, the Extreme Sublimation talent was still exerting its power.

Not only did it make his injuries heal quickly, but it also excavated more physical potential, his physical body underwent a transformation, and his Qi-Blood Value increased significantly.

"Now my Qi-Blood Value is already 9150; I'm only 100 away from the 8th blood exchange."

"A few days of time is enough for me to perform the 8th blood exchange."

Lin Qi clenched his fists; the Extreme Sublimation talent had increased his Qi-Blood Value by a full 450 in two days!

If he didn't have this talent, he estimated he would still need several months to perform the 8th blood exchange.

Lin Qi stood up, preparing to go out.

"Master, a call from Jiang Tao!"

"Answer!"

Xia Chan waved her hand, projecting a large green screen; Jiang Tao's dark face appeared on the opposite side.

Jiang Tao looked excited, his face flushed:

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, I've awakened again!"

"I successfully awakened a second special ability, 【Earth Wall】."

Lin Qi spoke:

"Taozi, congratulations!"

He was genuinely happy for Jiang Tao; currently, only 10 people in the Xia Guo had awakened two abilities, and now there was one more.

Having awakened two abilities, he would be among the stronger batch of Ninth Realm martial artists in the future.

The gold content of the mysterious gemstone had increased again.

Now that Jiang Tao had awakened, Jiang Miaoyin's awakening was only a matter of time.

Jiang Tao said seriously: "Lin Lin Qi Ge, next year in May, I will definitely break through to the Seventh Realm and win the championship."

"In July or August, I can go to the Black Dragon Base and fight side by side with you!"

"You will!"

Hanging up the phone, Lin Qi exhaled.

For three years, the only ones who could keep up with his pace were Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin.

He hoped they could keep getting stronger.

If old friends couldn't keep up with his pace, over time, the feelings would also dissipate.

Thinking of this, he took his black-gold great spear and went out.

"Hoo hoo!!"

Facing the biting cold wind and snowflakes, Lin Qi arrived at the entrance of a luxury apartment.

"Hum"

The black alloy gate slid open silently, and Lin Qi entered.

This was the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang's residence; in the living room, besides Lin Qi, there was also his teacher, Mu Hong.

Lin Qi was already familiar with the path; after entering, he sat directly opposite the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang.

Teacher Mu Hong was responsible for making tea; soon, a cup of hot tea was placed beside Lin Qi.

Lin Qi picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

A wave of heat entered his stomach, and he only felt his heart become calm instantly.

At the same time, the deep voice of the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang came to his ears:

"After every Calamity Beast tide, we need to calm our hearts."

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang praised:

"Lin Qi, your talent exceeds our imagination."

"If it were Sun Sheng or Li Tianxing, they wouldn't be able to kill six Level 8 Zerg warriors in a row!"

"I'm afraid you're not far from the Eighth Realm, right?"

Lin Qi nodded:

"It might take several more months to break through!"

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang nodded; it was about what he had guessed.

He then spoke again:

"This Zerg assassination has touched our bottom line; tonight, the Star-Gazing Palace will hold a Ninth Realm meeting!"

"There's a high probability that a comprehensive cleanup of the Zerg will be carried out!"

"Recently, the sacrifices caused by the Zerg have been too great; the patience of all countries has reached its limit."

Lin Qi listened to the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang's serious voice, felt the firmness in his tone, and thought to himself that they were indeed going to take action against the Zerg.

If all the Ninth Realm martial artists on the entire Blue Star took action at the same time, the Zerg would likely not be able to resist!

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang continued:

"There is one more thing; you might be puzzled about how your Merit Points increased by 3 million?"

Lin Qi nodded; he was indeed curious.

Teacher Mu Hong beside him explained:

"Killing Zerg warriors also earns Merit Points!"

"Their corpses don't have much value, which is why they only give 500,000 Merit Points!"

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang stood up: "Come to the Martial Path Room!"

Lin Qi and Mu Hong stood up and entered the Martial Path Room.

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang picked up the Ninth-Order great spear on the wall and swung it, creating spear flowers.

He looked at Lin Qi and said slowly:

"We all underestimated you!"

"You created a new record, the first genius to master Stage Five Spear Technique at the Seventh Realm."

"Even the Red Emperor hasn't done this!"

"However, since you have already mastered Stage Five Spear Technique, I will also explain the cultivation of Stage Five Spear Technique to you!"

"Stage Five Spear Technique is also known as Domain, and it is also the highest realm known to us humans!"

"We humans continuously perfect our spear technique realm in actual combat, from Stage One Foundation, Stage Two Proficiency, Stage Three Perfection, Stage Four Artistic Conception, to the current Stage Five Domain."

"One step at a time!"

"Currently, we don't know what Stage Six spear technique is; there is only Stage Five spear technique!"

"All Eighth Realm and Ninth Realm martial artists are at this Domain realm!"

Lin Qi nodded; martial artists of two major realms had martial arts skills at the same stage.

From this point, one could see the difficulty of improving martial arts skills.

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang nodded:

"The strength of a Domain is very obvious, and that is looking at the range of the Domain!"

"Martial artists who have just broken through generally have about three meters in all directions from their center."

"With the improvement of Domain power, the range of the Domain continuously expands: 10 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters..."

"And the suppression power within the Domain will also become stronger and stronger. If it is a metal-attribute Domain, entering it is like being sliced by a thousand knives..."

Lin Qi nodded; he had already experienced the power of the Domain, but he had just broken through, and the effect of the Domain power was already very obvious.

There was still a lot of room for improvement.

"Hum hum!!"

Suddenly, a force surged from the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang, enveloping Lin Qi and Mu Hong.

Lin Qi felt the pressure in an instant.

There was only one feeling, and that was heavy!

Like a mountain pressing on his body, making him feel suffocated, his body becoming abnormally heavy.

Lin Qi suspected that in the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang's Domain, he might not even be able to move!

This feeling lasted only for a moment, and the suppression of the Domain was also slowly weakening.

After Lin Qi felt the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang's Domain power, he seemed to have realized something.

And the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang continued:

"The abilities I awakened are 【Heavy Earth】 and 【Earth Wall】. Once the Domain is unleashed, it's like instantly applying dozens, or even hundreds of times the gravity to the opponent!"

Lin Qi exhaled; ordinary martial artists simply couldn't resist this kind of suppression.

Their bodies would be instantly crushed into powder.

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang put away the Domain power and then spoke:

"After talking about Domain power, next is the improvement of Stage Five Spear Technique!"

"We humans perceive Artistic Conception from the heaven, earth, and all things in nature; it is the power of heaven and earth. We resonate with heaven and earth and borrow the power of heaven and earth!"

"And the improvement of the Domain requires us to increase our control over body cells!"

"Let the cells operate simultaneously and borrow more power from heaven and earth!"

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang waved his hand, and the silver metal sphere beside him projected a large green screen, playing a human body diagram, as well as a large number of cells.

"Our human body has tens of billions of cells; their quantity is exaggerated, not as easy to control as muscles."

"Stage Five Spear Technique is controlling body cells. In the process of performing the secret manual, you gradually control them. Every time you improve a part, the power of the Domain will increase by a point!"

"When you can master all the cells in your body, that is when Stage Five Spear Technique reaches perfection!"

When the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang said this, his expression also became complex:

"However, currently, in our entire Blue Star, no one has been able to reach Stage Five perfection!"

"Once you reach Stage Five, every bit of improvement becomes extremely difficult!"

"Those with poorer talent have almost stagnated!"

Mu Hong also smiled bitterly:

"I have entered Stage Five Spear Technique for a year, nearly two years, and I have already felt the difficulty of Stage Five Spear Technique."

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang said: "Eighth Realm life already has five hundred years of life!"

"In the long five hundred years of time."

"We are still young, and we still have a long time to cultivate."

Mu Hong nodded; compared to a 500-year lifespan, he was less than 40 years old now, indeed too young.

Then the three returned to the living room and continued to drink tea.

The tea fragrance overflowed; the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang picked up the hot tea and took a sip:

"Lin Qi, I think you can also see that at Stage Five, the 【Mountain Shan He Qiang Fa Technique】 and your metal-attribute ability are becoming increasingly incompatible."

"Your combat power still has huge room for improvement!"

Lin Qi nodded; he needed to learn a spear technique secret manual that was completely compatible with the metal attribute.

The 【Mountain Shan He Qiang Fa Technique】 could only be said to be barely enough.

Now that the spear technique secret manual was perfect, he needed to learn a new spear technique secret manual.

King Shanhe continued, speaking:

"My unique skill is named 【Mountain River Heavy Heaven Spear】."

"Actually, the 【Mountain Shan He Qiang Fa Technique】 was created by me, but it was simplified by me from the 【Mountain River Heavy Heaven Spear】."

"Actually, I lied!"

Lin Qi was stunned after hearing this; the Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang's unique skill wasn't created by him?

Not just him, Mu Hong beside him was also stunned; he was clearly knowing this for the first time too.

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang stood up and spoke slowly:

"Not just me; it should be said that the truly top-tier unique skills on the entire Blue Star were not self-created!"

"And among them, many Ninth Realm martial artists, they can say their unique skills are self-created."

"But the secret manuals created have limited exquisiteness and can't even be called unique skills."

"Those that can be called unique skills are basically not self-created."

Lin Qi asked curiously:

"Then where do these unique skills come from?"

Mu Hong seemed to have realized something:

"It's the 【Ruins】."

After Lin Qi heard this, a large number of thoughts suddenly emerged in his mind.

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang nodded; the projected screen began to switch, appearing a huge map.

He then explained:

"That's right, it's the Ruins!"

"After we humans broke into the other world, we began to carry out great reclamation!"

"We found countless treasures of heaven and earth!"

"At the same time, we also discovered other treasures!"

"The other world is too big; currently, what is known is that the other world is at least 1000 times larger than our Blue Star!"

"It's even more huge than Jupiter in our solar system!"

Lin Qi was shocked; he remembered his teacher saying in his martial arts common knowledge class that the other world was at least a hundred times the size of the Blue Star.

Now it had expanded to a thousand times; no wonder Calamity Beasts seemed to be endless.

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang continued:

"The other world is too big and too dangerous; 1000 times is currently only the limit of the Red Emperor's exploration."

"The Red Emperor is powerful and has excavated a large number of treasures in the depths of the other world."

"And the Spirit Pillar in the Spirit Refining Tower of the Sky Dome Academy, the Ten Thousand Beast Blood Pillar, and other treasures were all found by the Red Emperor!"

"The Red Emperor's contribution to our Blue Star is too great; no one can compare to him."

Lin Qi nodded secretly; he had heard the Red Emperor's deeds countless times and could recite them by heart.

"So the Ruins were also found by the Red Emperor?"

The Mountain Senior Shanhe Wang sat down opposite Lin Qi again and spoke slowly:

"That's right!"

"The Ruins are the key to our martial arts rise!"
