Chapter 547: Advancing by leaps and bounds (Seeking monthly votes)

The gold-armored spear-wielder turned into golden light, and a terrifying golden domain spread out, containing the aura of destroying the world.

Golden light flickered, and golden sharpness was released, as if cutting through everything.

The golden long spear in his hand flashed with cold light and stabbed out instantly.

"Boom!!"

A sonic boom erupted in the air, and Lin Qi saw the air condense into a sharp cone.

"Swish, swish!!"

A strand of golden silk thread threaded through the needle, instantly piercing through countless green fallen leaves.

"Hoo!"

One second later, the gold-armored spear-wielder stopped, but Lin Qi saw golden silk threads all over the sky, and thousands of fallen leaves were pierced.

"Boom!!!"

At the same time, strands of golden silk threads cut the giant trees within the domain range in half!

They floated in the air, space reversed, and in an instant, the gold-armored spear-wielder stabbed continuously, piercing through thousands of fallen leaves!

Lin Qi looked shocked; what kind of speed was this? He didn't even see clearly how the other party attacked.

If he had such speed, he could clear the fourth floor of the Star Fire Tower in one second!

Five opponents could be killed instantly!

Lin Qi looked at the spear technique displayed by the other party; between every move and style, he only had one feeling, and that was fast!

The red-clothed Star Fire said proudly after seeing this:

"This is the scene when an ordinary genius at the peak of the Aperture-Practicing Realm displays the 'World-Extinguishing Spear Canon'!"

"As long as you can fully practice the 'Golden Light Scroll' in it, whether it is the force-exertion method or the speed, you can get a huge improvement."

"Fifth-stage spear technique, besides expanding the power of the domain, is also a method of using Gangjin!"

"What you realized from the Ten Thousand Beast Blood Pillar is only a source energy cultivation method, teaching you how to condense Gangjin, but not teaching you how to use it!"

Lin Qi nodded; he saw the other party's Gangjin compressed into golden silk threads, shooting out like lasers, instantly piercing the fallen leaves.

So he sat cross-legged and opened the "World-Extinguishing Spear Canon: Golden Light Scroll" in his hand.

His eye speed was astonishing, and he read very quickly.

His expression also changed from calm at the beginning to surprised later.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"So that's how it is; that is to say, the force-exertion method of top-tier secret manuals needs to use cell movement..."

"Gangjin is also a part of the body; at the moment the spear technique is displayed, it resonates with the cells, shortening the interval of the spear technique."

"Infinitely shortening the time, and even making the spear thrust achieve a combo effect!"

"The stronger the body foundation, the higher the realm, the more combos can be achieved!"

"Compressing Gangjin, making Gangjin come alive, condensing it at one point, breaking through space, achieving faster speed and penetrating power!"

"Maximizing the use of 【Golden Light】 speed to achieve the effect of extreme penetration!"

"Cutting through the domain..."

In Lin Qi's brain, a large amount of spear technique knowledge emerged instantly.

That was a spear path summarized by a civilization over countless years!

Making Lin Qi watch it with fascination!

Compared with the "World-Extinguishing Spear Canon: Golden Light Scroll," the "Mountain and River Spear Art" was indeed too rough.

The red-clothed Star Fire looked at Lin Qi's appearance, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising:

"Have you seen the strength of our Star Fire Civilization?"

"If I didn't only have 1% of the data of the Star Fire Civilization, I could show you more five-star spear technique secret manuals."

"Some are even more exquisite than the 'World-Extinguishing Spear Canon'."

Lin Qi nodded after hearing this; their Blue Star still had a long way to go.

However, they could absorb the accumulation of the Star Fire Civilization to achieve the goal of rapid growth.

He didn't know how long had passed, Lin Qi closed the secret manual.

He exhaled heavily, clearing his thoughts in his mind.

When he opened his eyes again, golden light bloomed, and a large amount of realization emerged in his brain.

He said seriously to the red-clothed Star Fire: "Star Fire, thank you very much for letting me learn the 'World-Extinguishing Spear Canon'"

Star Fire's exquisite little face was proud: "You of course have to thank me!"

"You now, as long as you initially convert to the domain power of the 'World-Extinguishing Spear Canon' and master the combo power in the 'Golden Light Scroll'!"

"Then use the small divine ability, you currently have one month left!"

"If you are lucky, you might be able to pass the fourth floor of the Star Fire Tower!"

"And, the Star Fire virtual network world I built can perfectly scan your body condition."

"You practice inside here, the efficiency will be a little higher."

"The consumption of spirit is not great!"

Lin Qi nodded after hearing this; he also discovered this point!

Red Realm only increases computing power and improves simulation realism in arena mode.

And the consumption of spiritual power is great.

Everyone usually wouldn't choose to practice in the virtual world; it's better to go to the gravity room.

It can also improve physical fitness, and the practice effect is stronger.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi stood up and began to display the spear technique of the "Golden Light Scroll"!

"Swish!"

Every move was still in the "Basic Spear Technique," and on the surface, it looked plain and unremarkable.

But it involved the use of cells.

The range of the action was the foundation, and the use of muscles was also the foundation.

A higher level was the use of cells and Gangjin!

"Screech!"

The spear tip pierced through the air, instantly tearing the air, exceeding twice the speed of sound.

The speed of sound is 340m/s, and after reaching the speed of sound, it will erupt with the sound of a sonic boom.

And Lin Qi himself could exceed the speed of sound when running at full strength.

The spear thrust speed reaching the speed of sound was just the most basic; he needed to reach three times the speed of sound, 1095m/s

Three times might not even be enough, he might even need four times, five times!

"Swish, swish!!"

The air vibrated, and the Gangjin in Lin Qi's body was also mobilized.

The "Golden Light Scroll" had six styles, and the final six styles gathered into a super killing move — "Instant Shadow Thousand Rays!"

Lin Qi displayed it simply, and among the six styles of golden light, most were thrusts!

Among all spear technique moves, the thrust was the fastest!

A simple thrust could kill countless opponents.

"Buzz, buzz!"

He displayed it once and felt that his spear thrust speed had become faster.

The whole body became more coordinated, and the flexibility was amazingly improved.

"Swish, swish!!"

Beside him, the projected gold-armored spear-wielder was also displaying the six styles of golden light!

Lin Qi operated 【Golden Pupil】, observing the spear technique displayed by the other party, and even felt the force-exertion situation of the other party's body through the body.

Everything was seen clearly.

After watching it several times, he displayed the six styles of golden light again.

"Swish, swish!!"

"Screech!"

Cells vibrated, and the Golden Emperor Gangjin was injected into the great spear according to a specific force-exertion method.

The spear tip instantly pierced the air, producing a violent sonic boom, and the violent gusts of wind spread toward the surroundings.

Lin Qi's eyes lit up; he only felt that the great spear in his hand had become lighter.

He stabbed out the great spear suddenly in an instant, stabbing out at the fastest speed, not pursuing power, only speed!

In one second, he stabbed out more than 600 times!

"Sure enough, it's faster!"

Lin Qi's expression was overjoyed; his spear thrust speed had become faster. Having just started practicing the new spear technique, the effect was immediate, and his combat power had improved immediately.

【You practiced the new spear technique secret manual — "World-Extinguishing Spear Canon," and gained a new understanding of spear technique. Spear Technique +3%】

【Spear Technique: Fifth Stage 05% → Fifth Stage 08%】

Lin Qi exhaled, his eyes shining; he didn't expect that his spear technique would improve so quickly.

When he fully practiced the "Golden Light Scroll," his combat power would be greatly improved.

He felt more motivated to invest in the practice of the new spear technique.

And Star Fire, who was watching from the dark, had an expression as if she had seen a ghost at this time; she saw with her own eyes that Lin Qi was progressing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Learning so fast?"

"Perhaps he doesn't need a month to master the 'Golden Light Scroll'"

From Star Fire's perspective, it was as if she had three clones observing Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing at the same time.

They were also the three geniuses she was most optimistic about.

Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing were the first to come into contact with the new secret manual, and at this time, they had already begun to practice.

Progressing rapidly, showing astonishing talent.

But Lin Qi was even more exaggerated; although he came into contact with it the latest, his progress speed was the fastest.

Star Fire also knew that being fast in the early stage didn't necessarily mean being the fastest in the later stage.

In the end, it still depended on the final result, which was who would pass the fourth floor of the Star Fire Tower first.

She was very curious about whose talent was stronger, or rather, who could pass the fourth floor.

In the 05 Virtual Room, in a virtual garden, Sun Sheng, wearing gold armor, had bright eyes and was waving the silver staff in his hand crazily, displaying the brand-new secret manual.

"Satisfying!"

"This is the staff technique that fits me best!"

"With this 'Earth Evil Staff Canon,' within the remaining month, I can definitely pass the fourth floor of the Star Fire Tower!"

"Even surpassing Lin Qi!"

"I, Sun Sheng, am the number one genius of Blue Star!"

Sun Sheng was hot-blooded and practiced the staff technique crazily; if you don't go crazy, you won't become a demon.

At this time in the 07 Virtual Room

Li Tianxing was in an empty stone forest, with ten flying knives flying wantonly in the air.

In front of him, a figure was projected, telling him something.

"Li Tianxing, if you want to pass the fourth floor, just learning a new spear technique secret manual is of no use."

"You are a psychokinetic master; your Blue Star's control method over psychokinetic power is simply too rough to look at!"

"I give you the '108 Styles of Psychokinetic Control,' which is the basic secret manual for psychokinetic masters in our Star Fire Civilization."

"As long as you can fully learn it, there is a high probability that you can break through the fourth floor of the Star Fire Tower!"

Li Tianxing exhaled, opened the secret manual, and took a simple look, and suddenly felt it was unusually complex.

It was a hundred times stronger than the most exquisite spiritual power control method he had ever seen!

This also gave him confidence.

If he could complete the basic practice, his combat power would also be greatly improved.

He might be able to surpass Sun Sheng and Lin Qi and become the new number one.

Thinking of this, he began to practice according to the content on the secret manual.

And at this time, other Seventh Realm and Eighth Realm geniuses were also practicing.

It was just that they didn't have top-tier secret manuals to practice and could only temper their skills through battles every day.

From time to time, they looked at the names of Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing, who were in the top three, and revealed expressions of envy.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the major countries of Blue Star were still suffering from the invasion of disaster beasts.

At the same time, the emergence of awakening potions caused the number of geniuses to explode.

S-level geniuses emerged, and what was even more exaggerated was the appearance of SS-level ones.

On average, one SS-level genius was born every day, and a large number of S-level geniuses successfully awakened to become SS-level geniuses by constantly taking awakening potions.

Everything showed a thriving trend.

Firmament Academy, in a luxury villa in the Star Abode.

A group of geniuses were having a dinner party in the hall to celebrate the New Year!

Wan Ming was eating hot pot and said:

"In the past month, the number of geniuses in the Firmament Academy has exceeded 300!"

"If this continues, I estimate it will soon exceed 1,000."

Pei Jiu laughed: "This is a good thing; the more geniuses there are, the more High Realm martial artists there will be in the future, and they will be able to resist the invasion of disaster beasts."

Then everyone looked at Jiang Tao again; more than a month ago, when they learned that Jiang Tao had awakened a second ability.

Everyone was shocked; not only them, but the leaders of the Firmament Academy were also shocked.

Jiang Tao successfully became the 11th SSS-level genius in the Xia Nation to awaken two abilities in the past few decades.

And he was taken as a grand-disciple by the Sword Emperor, who was in the top ten in combat power.

And Jiang Tao's strength had also been greatly improved; in the disaster beast trial tower, he was already ranked fifth.

He was not far from the first place.

At this time, the burly Jiang Tao said:

"Today is the last day of 2048!"

"I wonder where Brother Qi is?"

Pei Jiu laughed: "I asked my big brother, and he said he went deep into the other world with my big brother to practice inside."

"It might be a while before he can come back!"

After hearing this, everyone was quite curious about where exactly they went in the other world to practice.

After December 31st passed, the New Year celebration ended.

Time came to 2049.

Other world, No. 9 ruins

At this time, 40 days had passed since the 56 geniuses entered the ruins.

In the 05 Virtual Room.

"Boom!!"

In the Star Fire Virtual World, in the simulated forest, the earth shook, and countless rubble splashed out.

Sun Sheng, wearing gold armor, emitted a terrifying aura, and with him as the center, a strong brown domain spread out.

It was heavy and permeated the surroundings, the air vibrated, and bursts of sonic booms were emitted.

A metal silver staff smashed heavily on the earth, forming a deep pit.

"Very good!"

Two patterns appeared on Sun Sheng's skin, gold and brown fused, the heaviness of earth and the sharpness of gold, the two forces were unusually harmonious on his body.

His eyes were red, and a confident smile appeared on the corners of his mouth:

"Very good, my combat power is already very strong now!"

"I will now go to impact the fourth floor of the Star Fire Tower!"

"Star Fire, I want to start the Star Fire Tower trial!"

The red-clothed Star Fire appeared, looked at Sun Sheng, and nodded: "Good!"

At the same time, Li Tianxing in the 07 Virtual Room also chose to conduct the fourth-floor trial.

Li Tianxing, wearing red combat armor, swung his long spear.

"Swish, swish!!!"

In the air, ten silver flying knives combined into shapes arbitrarily in the air, erupting with bursts of sonic booms.

"My flying knives can now erupt with three times the speed of sound, plus my control ability has been greatly improved!"

"This time on the fourth floor of the Star Fire Tower, I have the confidence to pass!"

Li Tianxing, with a handsome face, thought to himself.

He had been at the No. 9 base for 40 days, and although his physical fitness hadn't improved.

But under pressure, his spear technique and movement technique had broken through to the fifth stage.

He could feel that his combat power had been greatly improved.

Now he could easily defeat the self from before he came.

And Star Fire in the dark was also watching the two people's trials.

She was also curious if the two could pass.

And in another virtual world, a man wearing black-gold combat armor was still practicing spear technique.

Star Fire Virtual World, this was an empty forest.

"Swish, swish!!"

Lin Qi was still wearing black-gold combat armor, holding a black-gold great spear in his hand!

Around his body, the golden domain spread toward the surroundings, with him as the center, with a radius of 5 meters!

"Buzz, buzz!!"

Invisible sharpness shrouded the domain, and the fallen leaves of the forest fell into the domain.

They were instantly cut into pieces!

His Mountain and River Domain had now completely transformed into a World-Extinguishing Domain!

"Swish, swish!!"

"Screech!!"

Lin Qi displayed the "Golden Light Scroll" in the "World-Extinguishing Spear Canon"

The six styles of golden light were displayed from his hands, his figure was nimble, as if he had turned into golden light, traveling through the surrounding space!

The great spear in his hand, the spear tip golden light flowed, and in the travel, the great spear stabbed out, instantly erupting with the sound of a sonic boom!

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, countless fallen leaves fell, and a strand of golden silk thread pierced through hundreds of fallen leaves.

Within the domain, it was as if it was being cut by countless golden silk threads!

"Boom!!!"

In the next second, several giant trees in the surroundings were cut in half from the middle and fell to the ground with a boom!

The cuts on the annual rings were unusually flat and smooth!

"Zheng——!"

Lin Qi exhaled, the domain dissipated, and only the sound of wind and the vibration of the spear body remained in the air!

【You have gained a deeper understanding of the "World-Extinguishing Spear Canon: Golden Light Scroll" through practice, and your mastery of spear technique has gone a step further. Spear Technique +1%】

【Spear Technique: Fifth Stage 14% → Fifth Stage 15%】

Lin Qi looked at the information on the panel and exhaled heavily.

He had been in the No. 9 ruins for 40 days, and had been practicing the "World-Extinguishing Spear Canon" for 25 days.

In nearly a month, he had thoroughly practiced the "Golden Light Scroll"

He could skillfully display the six styles of golden light and completely transform the domain.

He could clearly feel the improvement of his combat power; compared to when he first came in, his combat power had improved by a large margin.

"It's time to pass the fourth floor of the Star Fire Tower!"

Lin Qi thought to himself!

"Star Fire!"

The next second, the red-clothed Star Fire appeared in front of him.

"Lin Qi, do you intend to challenge the fourth floor of the Star Fire Tower?"

Lin Qi nodded and said: "It is indeed time to pass the fourth floor!"

The red-clothed Star Fire shook her head and said:

"Being too confident is not a good thing!"

"Forgot to tell you, just a few minutes ago, Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing both conducted the fourth-floor trial."

"They both used small divine abilities, but they still failed!"

After speaking, she projected a panel.

【Blue Star Ranking】

【First Place: Li Tianxing, Time: 4 minutes 58 seconds】

【Second Place: Sun Sheng, Time: 4 minutes 40 seconds】

【Third Place: Lin Qi, Time: 3 minutes 01 seconds】

After seeing the ranking, Lin Qi revealed a smile instead and said:

"Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing, the two of them are indeed very powerful!"

"But I am different!"

The red-clothed Star Fire shook her head: "Then let's start!"

After speaking, she waved her hand.

The next second, the environment around Lin Qi changed, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared on the fourth floor of the Star Fire Tower.

In the empty arena, Lin Qi appeared.

And in front of him, five figures also appeared.

【Star Fire Tower Fourth Floor: Please defeat...】

【Countdown:... 3, 2, 1】

【Trial officially begins!】

Lin Qi gripped the great spear with both hands, and power surged from his body.

Passing the fourth floor of the Star Fire Tower, it would be today!
