Chapter 541: 8th Blood Exchange (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Martial Path Era 2048, November 26th.

The snow in North River Province finally stopped, and even the sun began to come out.

"Hoo hoo!!"

Under the sunlight, on the airport of the Black Dragon Base, several red Giant Sparrow fighter jets slowly ascended and flew toward the distance.

Below the airport, a dense crowd looked up at the departure of the fighter jets.

Those were the fighter jets transporting the remains of the sacrificed martial artists.

Lin Qi looked at the fighter jets disappearing from his sight, his mood quite complex.

Liu Yuanzhang beside him spoke:

"Life is truly impermanent!"

"Meng Wu is actually not bad, and he has quite a few good friends."

"It's a pity that he stayed in the position of Southern Inspection Envoy at the headquarters for too long, and he became a bit arrogant and made mistakes!"

"At the Black Dragon Base, he also desperately hunted Calamity Beasts and saved many martial artists!"

"Now that he sacrificed himself to save you, this is also his fate."

"Rest assured, Meng Wu is an Eighth Realm peak martial artist; he possesses huge assets and pension!"

Lin Qi said seriously:

"The grudge between him and me has been written off!"

"I know Meng Wu has three children, and the youngest is only 3 years old!"

"Although they might not need my help, if they have any difficulties in the future, they can come to me!"

Liu Yuanzhang nodded; Lin Qi is a top-tier genius on the Blue Star and a top-tier powerhouse of the future.

His promise is not something everyone can possess.

The surrounding martial artists began to disperse one after another.

Lin Qi and Liu Yuanzhang walked on the road back, facing the cold wind.

Liu Yuanzhang spoke slowly:

"I heard from the Shanhe King that the Star-Gazing Palace passed a meeting and has decided to take action against the Zerg!"

"Our Black Dragon Base also only left one Ninth Realm martial artist, and all other Ninth Realm powerhouses have been mobilized, intending to solve the Zerg at the fastest speed!"

Lin Qi nodded; although he also wanted to kill the Zerg!

But currently, he was only a Seventh Realm martial artist and was not qualified to participate in the action.

If he insisted on participating, he might hold them back!

What he could do was work hard to improve his strength, break through to the Eighth Realm early, and perhaps he could make more contributions.

A moment later, Lin Qi returned to the entrance of his Room 206.

He saw a black intelligent robot transporting 10 silver cylindrical metal barrels.

A beautiful staff member with an upright figure smiled:

"Mr. Lin Qi, these are the items you purchased; please sign for them!"

Lin Qi nodded, took the white tablet, signed his name, and pressed his palm print.

"Hum!"

The alloy gate slid open silently, the intelligent robot entered automatically, Xia Chan condensed her body and helped take down the metal cylinders.

"Mr. Lin Qi, the items have been delivered..."

Soon, the female staff member left, the gate closed, and only Lin Qi remained in the room.

He looked at the metal cylinders; what was inside was the blood of the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi, a full 10 tons, and the price was expensive.

"Xia Chan, move them into the Martial Path Room."

"Okay, Master!"

Xia Chan moved the ten metal cylinders into the Martial Path Room, and Lin Qi opened one can.

In the next second, a rich bloody smell assailed his nostrils, extremely unpleasant.

Lin Qi even felt the astonishing essence contained in the blood.

Once, he took dozens of drops of Level 9 Calamity Beast blood, and his Qi-Blood Value increased significantly.

And now he could drink it by the ton.

Beside the silver barrel, there was also a silver straw.

Lin Qi also drank it in big gulps like in the novels, but in reality, if he did that, the blood would spill out, which would be too wasteful.

So Lin Qi chose to use a straw and insert it into the blood.

The blood rolled, abnormally viscous, like mercury.

"Gulp~"

The blood rushed into his mouth in an instant, and his taste buds instantly tasted the flavor.

It was a nasty taste, accompanied by a rust smell, and a strange smell.

Lin Qi frowned and drank the one ton of Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi blood like drinking Chinese medicine in his previous life.

"Cough cough!!"

"Hoo~"

One ton entered his stomach; Lin Qi felt full, his whole body began to heat up, and the blood instantly exerted its effect.

The blood entered his stomach; in a moment, it became boiling hot, like magma, spreading the temperature, and all his internal organs radiated high heat.

"Hoo hoo!"

Lin Qi's face was red and his ears were red, white steam evaporated from his whole body, and a large amount of sweat overflowed.

He sat cross-legged and quickly operated the 【Jin Di Secret Code】, letting his body absorb the blood of the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi.

His internal organs operated with full force, consuming the essence in the blood, which contained a large amount of Source Energy, and now it began to be absorbed by Lin Qi.

This stimulated his body's potential, his physical body began to transform, and every part began to transform.

Lin Qi could feel his body heating up, but his physical body was also continuously transforming.

"Hiss~"

Lin Qi roared in pain; suddenly, intense pain surged into his heart, his whole body felt like it was going to be incinerated.

Not only that, every inch, every cell seemed to be gnawed by ants.

The intense pain was like waves, one after another.

This was the consequence of taking too much blood; other martial artists took it bit by bit, and even those who could take it were Ninth Realm martial artists.

There wouldn't be such an intense effect.

But Lin Qi was different; he was only a Seventh Realm martial artist, his physical body strength was not enough, and forcibly absorbing the essence in the blood would be abnormally painful.

At this time, Lin Qi's veins were bulging, his skin was like a steamed red lobster, and his body was undergoing reshaping.

Tendons, bones, muscles, and skin were all undergoing intense transformation, and his internal organs were recovering after being damaged, becoming even tougher.

Lin Qi felt that the degree of improvement in physical body strength for this 8th blood exchange might be more ferocious than any time before.

He felt his cells absorbing the blood essence, and the genes deep in the blood were also undergoing some kind of awakening.

"Hoo!!"

Lin Qi's whole body was already soaked with sweat, then baked dry by the high heat, and then soaked by sweat again.

The entire Martial Path Room was also shrouded in white water vapor.

Lin Qi frowned, enduring the pain; he had already experienced the system's transformation several times and had long been accustomed to it.

He even forged an iron will; he could endure this bit of pain.

But soon he felt the pain begin to dissipate.

"Not good!"

Lin Qi thought secretly that one ton of blood couldn't perform the 8th blood exchange.

"Xia Chan, open the second barrel!"

"Okay, Master!"

Xia Chan quickly opened the second barrel; Lin Qi picked up the straw and sucked hard, and soon the second barrel was also finished.

"Hiss~"

The pain in his body began to double!

His body was abnormally uncomfortable, countless ants gnawing at his cells, and Lin Qi could only grit his teeth and persist.

His body was like a broken faucet, sweat continuously excreted, and at the same time, impurities and toxins in his body were also excreted together.

Finally, as time passed, when Lin Qi felt that the water in his body had been drained, he suddenly felt blood loss uncontrollably.

His body began to become weak.

Lin Qi felt joy in his heart; he knew that he had begun the 8th blood exchange.

Looking down, sure enough, blood had begun to be excreted through his pores, and a fishy smell began to permeate the air.

Black-red blood was excreted, making him begin to feel weak.

However, at this time, he didn't need to take functional drinks.

Two tons of Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi blood were enough to supplement the blood needed by his body.

In this process, Lin Qi's spiritual power penetrated into his body.

Feeling the entire transformation process, impurities in his body were drained, and at the same time, new blood was created, making his internal organs tougher.

This process made him both painful and comfortable!

In the blink of an eye, 8 hours passed.

Time came to 8 PM, and the sky at the Black Dragon Base darkened.

Inside the 206 Martial Path Room, the ventilation function was turned on, blowing gusts of breeze, dispersing the fishy smell.

On the black soft mat, there was only a blood scale that could see a vague human shape.

Lin Qi's vague consciousness gradually became clear, and waves of power surged from his bone marrow; his bone marrow was numb, continuously creating new blood.

"Thump thump!!"

His heart also beat powerfully, resounding throughout the Martial Path Room.

"Boom!!"

Gangjin circulated in his body and erupted suddenly; the blood scale on his skin exploded instantly, turning into raindrops.

Lin Qi slowly stood up and looked at himself in the full-length mirror.

His figure didn't have much change, but his aura was heavier, as if a mountain had been compressed into his body.

"Swish swish!!"

His blood was as viscous and heavy as mercury; this was almost the limit that other martial artists could achieve.

【You took two tons of Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi blood, your physical body transformed, completed the 8th blood exchange, Qi-Blood Value +300!】

【You completed the 8th blood exchange, template fusion degree +0.5%, unknown ability awakening progress accelerated!】

【Qi-Blood Value: 9150 → 9450】

【Template: Erlang Zhenjun · Yang Jian】

【Fusion Degree: 38.5% → 39%】

Lin Qi saw the information popping up on the panel, his eyes brightened, and he exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

9450 Qi-Blood Value, only 550 left from the 10,000 mark.

He had only broken through for nearly 5 months, and he had already walked the journey that others needed several years to walk.

"8 blood exchanges, already the limit of other martial artists."

"It is recorded in the 【Jin Di Secret Code】 that even the founder himself only had 8 blood exchanges!"

"There are also nine blood exchanges, but that is what the most top-tier geniuses can achieve."

Lin Qi thought secretly.

8 blood exchanges, other geniuses could choose to break through to the Eighth Realm.

And he was still far from reaching the limit; he could still perform the 9th blood exchange.

He could foresee that the difficulty of the 9th blood exchange would also be abnormally high.

He looked at the remaining 8 barrels of Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi blood; they should be enough to support his cultivation to the 9th blood exchange and break through to the Eighth Realm.

Finally, Lin Qi looked at the template fusion degree on the panel again.

Only 1% away from the 40% fusion degree.

He guessed that it would likely awaken again after he broke through to the Eighth Realm.

A full 10% fusion degree.

Before, it was 5% to awaken; this time it doubled.

If he only awakened one special ability 【Diamond】, it would be a bit unreasonable.

There would likely be other changes.

Fifteen minutes later.

Lin Qi walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed; the Martial Path Room had been cleaned up.

Lin Qi looked at the 8 barrels of Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi blood and thought secretly:

"Level 10 Calamity Beast blood, taken by Seventh Realm martial artists, has a significant effect, better than the Blood Spirit Potion."

"It can make the physical body transform and stimulate body potential."

"Many peak martial artists can break through to the Eighth Realm through this method."

"In the future, the Eighth Realm martial artists of the entire Blue Star will also usher in a blowout!"

Lin Qi picked up the Eighth-Order black-gold great spear and continued to cultivate.

After 8 blood exchanges, the blood digested in his body made him feel energetic.

He had a super engine continuously providing him with energy.

"Xiu xiu!!"

Holding the spear with one hand, the 5000-kilogram great spear continuously thrust out in his hand.

"It's really lighter!"

In an instant, Lin Qi felt that the black great spear in his hand was lighter.

It was more comfortable to perform in his hand!

It seemed that his physical fitness had indeed obtained a huge improvement.

Then he performed the 【Shanhe Spear Technique】 again; this spear technique was already perfect. If he wanted to improve combat power or improve his realm.

He needed a new spear technique secret manual.

Currently, the strongest secret manual for humans is the unique skill, which is what most Eighth Realm and Ninth Realm martial artists cultivate.

And he needed to go to Ruin No. 9 in the other world, pass the test, and learn a spear technique secret manual that was completely compatible with himself.

He had great confidence in his talent and comprehension.

However, what he needed to do currently was wait.

Two hours later.

"Zheng——!"

Lin Qi retracted the spear, the Shanhe Domain dissipated, and only the lingering sound of the spear body trembling remained in the air.

【Through arduous cultivation, your comprehension of spear technique has improved a bit, spear technique +1%】

【Spear Technique: Stage Five 04% → Stage Five 05%】

Lin Qi exhaled; having cultivated spear technique for two days, he felt the pride in it.

Even with his top-tier talent, he had only improved by 1% now.

Wanting to reach Stage Five 99%, he was afraid it would also take a large amount of time.

Cultivating a new spear technique secret manual was imperative.

"Beep!"

"Master, a call from the Shanhe King!"

Xia Chan in blue beside him spoke slowly, her jade hand lifted, projecting a large green screen.

The Shanhe King in a silver robe appeared on the opposite side of the video conference.

He spoke slowly:

"Lin Qi, prepare yourself!"

"Depart tomorrow for Ruin No. 9 in the other world!"

Lin Qi nodded after hearing this:

"I understand!"

He was a bit excited; was he finally going to enter Ruin No. 9?

It was faster than he imagined!

At the same time, several Seventh Realm and Eighth Realm geniuses across the Xia Guo also received the news.

Magic City, in a Martial Path Room simulating a garden, a handsome man in a gold robe showed a smile:

"Are we finally going to depart?"

"I have been holding back at the Seventh Realm just for the test of Ruin No. 9."

"Just in time for tomorrow, I also have to meet Lin Qi!"

"His martial arts skill actually broke through to Stage Five one step faster than me!"

"I really want to meet him!"

Martial Path Era 2048, November 27th.

The Calamity Beast tide ended, and no new Calamity Beast tide erupted!

In places where most people didn't notice, Ninth Realm martial artists in many bases began to leave the base.

On the airport of the Black Dragon Base.

Lin Qi wore black-gold battle armor, his black-gold great spear was tucked behind his back, and behind him, Xia Chan transformed into a human form carrying luggage.

In front of him, a silver fighter jet was parked, saucer-shaped, and larger than the Peregrine Falcon!

"Let's go, Lin Qi!"

At this time, the Shanhe King, wearing silver battle armor, burly and tall, spoke slowly beside him.

Lin Qi nodded, and the two walked into the fighter jet.

There were three others together, including an acquaintance — Pei Hongfeng.

He was also going to Ruin No. 9.

Lin Qi turned his head to look at Liu Yuanzhang and Mu Hong behind him:

"Liu Yuanzhang, Teacher, I'm leaving!"

Liu Yuanzhang and Mu Hong nodded, watching Lin Qi and the others enter the fighter jet.

"Boom!!"

The fighter jet started, slowly ascended in the cold wind, then suddenly rushed out, shooting out like a sharp arrow, shuttling through the sky.

Liu Yuanzhang looked at Lin Qi's back and sighed:

"This time Lin Qi is going to Ruin No. 9; it is estimated that it will take quite a long time!"

"We might not be able to meet for a long time!"

Mu Hong in black beside him spoke:

"By the time we meet next time, he might already be at the Eighth Realm!"

"Boom!!"

Inside the fighter jet, it was an abnormally spacious cabin, like a living room, almost feeling no vibration.

Lin Qi hung the black-gold great spear on the wall and sat on the silver intelligent seat.

On the table in front of him, an intelligent robot brought hot tea.

Three people were sitting near him; besides Pei Hongfeng, one was at the Seventh Realm peak, and one was at the Eighth Realm.

The Shanhe King in silver armor spoke heartily:

"This is my private fighter jet, the Falcon fighter jet!"

"The speed is three times that of the Peregrine Falcon fighter jet, the space is larger, equipped with plasma cannons, and the defense is also stronger."

Private fighter jet?

Lin Qi's eyes brightened and he asked:

"Grand-teacher, how much does this Falcon fighter jet cost?"

Pei Hongfeng beside him smiled and explained:

"Lin Qi, this Falcon fighter jet cannot be bought with money."

"Our current human technological level, wanting to manufacture a Falcon fighter jet, requires a huge price."

"It can only be exchanged with Merit Points; the Peregrine Falcon fighter jet only needs 1500 Merit Points to be exchanged."

"And the Falcon fighter jet is more expensive, requiring 50 million Merit Points!"

"50 million Merit Points?"

Lin Qi was shocked in his heart; the Merit Points required were too many.

Without hunting dozens or hundreds of Level 8 Calamity Beasts, he couldn't buy it.

Pei Hongfeng continued:

"Most martial artists can only rent the Peregrine Falcon fighter jet, and the Merit Points will be much cheaper."

"Only Ninth Realm martial artists can afford to exchange for the Falcon fighter jet!"

At this time, the Shanhe King in silver armor also spoke:

"This time going to Ruin No. 9, 10 people will go together; they are respectively in the Imperial Capital, Magic City, and the Sky Dome Base in the other world."

"It won't take too long!"

Lin Qi suddenly thought of Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing; they were also Seventh Realm peak, he didn't know if they had broken through or were going to Ruin No. 9 together.

Fifteen minutes later, Magic City, New World in the wealthy area.

In front of a luxury villa.

The Falcon fighter jet stopped, the cabin door opened, and two figures walked out.

"You finally came; you made me wait for a while!"

The handsome man in gold armor walking in the front, carrying a silver staff, grinned and laughed; his facial features were three-dimensional and distinct, his sharpness was revealed, and his temperament was unrestrained.

As soon as he appeared, Lin Qi looked over and could clearly feel the arrogant attitude on the other party.

The other party was Sun Sheng, the original first genius of the Xia Guo.

Sun Sheng also saw Lin Qi, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a smile, stepped forward, and reached out his hand:

"Lin Qi, hello, I am Sun Sheng!"

Seeing this, Lin Qi also reached out his hand and shook it together.

"Boom!"

The moment their hands gripped together, Lin Qi felt a surging, immense force transmitted from Sun Sheng's palm.

Interesting?

Competing in strength?

Seeing this, Lin Qi also exerted force.

In an instant, a domineering aura was released from his body.

The two wrestled, whipping up a strong wind.

Everyone in the cabin also looked over curiously.

Seeing this scene, the Shanhe King also raised the corners of his mouth.
