Chapter 578: Eighth Realm Strongest! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Envoy Tu Lan, with her exquisite face, suddenly said:

"I guess you favor Lin Qi more!"

The Red Emperor nodded in admission: "Undeniably, I do favor Lin Qi more!"

"Sun Sheng practices the 'Earth Fiend Staff Canon'; I have seen this manual, it is a five-star manual, and the force exertion is exceptionally subtle!"

"It can be said that it is tailor-made for Sun Sheng, allowing him to explode with all his divine strength!"

"Unfortunately, Lin Qi is also a genius of the same style!"

"The gap between the two in physical fitness and martial arts technique is not large!"

"But a gap still exists; in all aspects, the accumulation of small gaps will affect the final result."

"And looking at all aspects, Lin Qi is stronger, so the probability of him winning is also greater!"

After hearing this, Envoy Tu Lan smiled: "Then I favor Sun Sheng; I want to see if your prediction is accurate this time!"

After speaking, their gazes were fixed on the arena.

At the same time, Li Tianxing in the stands also frowned while watching the battle; after clashing for several minutes, the situation began to become clear.

"Sun Sheng is starting to fall into a disadvantage!"

"But I still have a large gap with them; I must become even stronger!"

On the arena, time passed quickly; without realizing it, Lin Qi and Sun Sheng's clashing had already gone on for a full five minutes.

In five minutes, they frantically clashed tirelessly, and the entire ruins arena ground had already shattered.

"Boom!"

Another intense collision, accompanied by a deafening roar, kicked up an energy storm.

Sun Sheng, clad in golden armor, retreated frantically, his footsteps sliding on the ground, the cement road surface completely shattered, forming deep mud marks.

"Hum, hum!!"

The gilded staff in his hand couldn't stop trembling, his arms were numb and sore, and his throat felt sweet.

The frantic clashing made his body continuously reach its limit.

"This Lin Qi is truly a monster!"

Sun Sheng spat out blood, his Qi and blood surged within his body, and he frowned.

The continuous clashing made his body exceptionally excited, and the combat power exploded from his power became stronger and stronger.

His power and speed climbed step by step, and Lin Qi on the opposite side was the same.

His power was getting stronger, as if there was no end.

His whole body's muscles were like forged diamonds, and every collision unleashed over 1500 tons of power.

Even with copper skin and iron bones, covered in Gangjin, unloading the force wouldn't be enough to withstand it.

"I can't withstand it; Lin Qi must not be able to withstand it either!"

Sun Sheng secretly guessed in his heart who could persist until the end.

And Lin Qi on the opposite side, his expression also became serious.

He had to admit that Sun Sheng was indeed very strong; after he used his full strength, no one could withstand a single spear strike from him.

Like Augustus and Li Tianxing, even their weapons were shattered.

But Sun Sheng was different; not only was the gilded staff intact, but he could also clash with him for hundreds of moves!

And his own attacks, Sun Sheng could all take them.

Whether it was the Golden Light Combo or the Five Styles of Golden Edge, his speed and power could deal with them.

In these two aspects, Sun Sheng was equally skilled; when he thrust the great spear, he could easily block it with staff techniques.

This was also a rare battle he could fight to his heart's content in a long time.

Sweat, blood, fatigue, a violently beating heart, rapidly surging blood!

Every sensation was so clear.

In the intense battle, his spear technique and movement technique were improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He activated 【Golden Pupil】 and locked eyes with Sun Sheng.

The other's eyes were completely red, the pupils completely turned into crimson.

Like a pair of crimson pupils, giving Lin Qi the illusion that his whole body was being seen through.

Sun Sheng was gifted with talent; according to the data, when he was a child, besides natural divine strength and awakening two abilities,

he also had a pair of crimson pupils; it was said that these eyes gave him extraordinary vision, able to see through the opponent's weaknesses.

He thought of his own 【Golden Pupil】; the crimson pupils were simply a weakened version of 【Golden Pupil】.

However, facing most enemies, it was already enough.

Sun Sheng revealed an excited smile at this time:

"Lin Qi, are you not able to do it anymore?"

"If not, admit defeat early; there's no need to hold on!"

Lin Qi said calmly after hearing this:

"I should be the one saying that; you are already at the end of your tether!"

Sun Sheng's aura expanded, his voice like a great bell:

"This battle should end now!"

"Lin Qi, can you take the final staff strike?"

Lin Qi responded:

"Come!"

"Boom!"

Intense aura was released, intense sharpness and a heavy mountain, two domains colliding.

In which the Gold Domain occupied a slight upper hand.

Sun Sheng revealed excitement, exerting force without hesitation, executing his killing move.

"Roar~"

The wild aura was like a giant ape roaring; that was one of the six top-tier monster beasts on the Ten Thousand Beast Blood Pillar.

His whole body's Gangjin was mobilized, his cells vibrated, his muscles bulged, veins popped, and his whole person became even more burly.

"Bang!"

Feeling the surge of majestic giant strength, Sun Sheng exploded outward from his spot, forming a crater under his feet.

Swinging the gilded staff, black-gold Gangjin was injected into the staff, continuously expanding, and an energy storm instantly kicked up around him.

The gilded staff smashed toward Lin Qi with the momentum of destroying the world.

"Boom!"

"Earth Fiend Staff Canon" killing move—Heaven and Earth Share the Same Life!

Lin Qi saw this and also felt his body involuntarily becoming excited.

This feeling is right!

At the same time, Lin Qi also executed his own killing move.

The power of the Golden Gangjin Tyrant Body was fully mobilized; on his golden bones, golden patterns appeared, his spine joints bore the weight, and his blood flowed like heavy mercury.

"Whoosh~"

In an instant, the cells in his leg muscles exploded, allowing him to shoot out at an even more lightning-fast speed.

In an instant, like a fierce tiger released from a cage, the great spear in his hand was like a dragon lurking, suddenly going out to sea.

Golden Emperor Gangjin flowed on the spear tip, like a wisp of golden silk thread.

"Screech!"

Both exploded at twice the speed of sound in an instant, forming a sonic boom, and then Lin Qi thrust out the great spear in an instant.

Like a straight golden beam of light, traveling through the air!

Whether it was power or speed, this killing move was Lin Qi's new peak.

"World-Ending Spear Canon" killing move—Instant Shadow Thousand Radiance!

"Bang!"

The sharp spear tip pierced precisely onto the staff body; this was the result of the two's game.

Through the final killing move, they determined who could win the final victory.

The moment of collision, the entire arena exploded instantly, the ground cracked, unable to withstand the terrifying impact anymore.

In the air, a deafening mixed sound also rang out, including the tearing of air and the sound of metal colliding.

Like two hundred-ton kings driving at high speed crashing together.

Strong force impact, rebound, was also a huge destruction to the human body.

At the moment of collision, Sun Sheng's entire face began to twist.

Terrifying force was transmitted to the staff body, like the sun falling, swallowing the earth.

The terrifying power made his body instantly lose sensation.

He widened his eyes, and his crimson pupils clearly saw that his gilded staff, from the part pierced by the spear tip, seemed to have pierced a certain part.

Forming a chain reaction, clear cracks appeared in his eyes.

"Bang!"

The next instant, the Eighth-Rank weapon in his hand shattered with a boom.

The upper half of the gilded staff broke completely, turning into countless fragments that splashed outward.

And Lin Qi's black-gold great spear was the same; the spear tip shattered under the terrifying force, fragments splashed outward, cutting his own face.

"Pfft~"

Accompanied by the sound of metal piercing into flesh, his face was exceptionally tough, and the fragments couldn't cut through.

But his chest—Lin Qi actually exerted force again, piercing through his golden battle armor, as well as the stone armor and protective Gangjin!

His three layers of defense were pierced through, using the broken spear tip, and the highly condensed Gangjin penetrated his defense.

"Pfft~"

Sun Sheng's throat felt sweet, and he knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, accompanied by a large amount of internal organ fragments!

He knew this battle was over!

"Boom!!"

In the stands, accompanied by the deafening explosion, countless viewers stood up directly from their seats!

The golden energy storm and rolling dust blocked their sight.

They couldn't wait to know the final result.

"Whoosh, whoosh!!"

On the arena, the wind dispersed, the smoke dissipated, and two figures appeared in everyone's sight.

One stood proudly, one figure bowed his head, his chest pierced by the black-gold great spear; the winner and loser had clearly been decided.

Sun Sheng, in golden armor, revealed an unwilling expression:

"Damn it, I actually lost!"

"This time... I'll let you win first!"

After saying this, his whole person turned into nothingness and dissipated.

And Lin Qi looked at the shattered black-gold great spear, looking up at the pyramid above his head.

The virtual avatar representing him successfully reached the top of the pyramid.

It was over!

He had reached the top of the pyramid once again!

【Eighth Round: Lin Qi (Xia Guo) Wins!】

Above the arena, the intelligent voice announced the result of the final match.

"Clap, clap!!!"

"Lin Qi!!"

The next instant, in the stands, thunderous applause and mountain-toppling cheers instantly erupted!

"Won, the final match is over!"

"Lin Qi is the strongest in the Eighth Realm!"

"Unbeaten in consecutive battles; who could have thought that in the end, it was Lin Qi who won until the end!"

"The combat power of the two was too fierce!"

"Too good to watch; I couldn't get enough, I wish they could fight another match!"

"Now it can be confirmed that Lin Qi is already the strongest in the Eighth Realm in the entire Blue Star!"

Countless viewers of the Xia Guo cheered, simply like drinking iced cola in the hot summer.

Too refreshing!

Not only were the top three their Xia Guo people, but they also saw a brilliant battle.

This made them even more confident in the Seed Trial.

"Little Qi won!"

The most excited were Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi, watching Lin Qi defeat opponent after opponent.

They clapped hard, looked at each other, happier than at any other moment!

"Little Qi is truly extraordinary; he is a brilliant genius of our Xia Guo..."

The people around couldn't help but praise him!

The air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Geniuses from other countries, Augustus of the White Eagle Federation, shook his head; the gap was too large, he was completely no match.

In the Eighth Realm domain, he could only be in 4th place.

Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing in front were simply monsters!

Andre of the Mao Bear Nation, Ajay of the Tianzhu Nation, Su Xi of the Sunset Nation, and others had the same thoughts.

Lin Qi was the undisputed strongest in the Eighth Realm.

In the first row of the Xia Guo's spectator section.

"Clap, clap!!"

When seeing the final result, the strongest Ninth Realm martial artists also clapped.

Only the face of the Sky Staff was smiling reluctantly; his disciple Sun Sheng lost with regret, and as a teacher, he didn't feel good in his heart.

However, he also had to admit that Lin Qi was indeed powerful now.

Sun Sheng, from the current point of view, was indeed no match.

And the Shanhe King, in silver robes, stroked his beard; at this time, the smile on the corners of his mouth could no longer be suppressed!

Envoy Tu Lan, in blue robes, had bright eyes and clapped along, praising:

"What a brilliant battle!"

"Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing—placed in other stronger primary civilizations, they are also the top-tier!"

"In a month, if they can become even stronger, perhaps they can let your Lianqiao Realm win a few more matches!"

"Red Emperor, your eye for talent is indeed good; Lin Qi really won!"

The Red Emperor smiled after hearing this:

"I have always believed in the geniuses of our civilization; they will not let me down!"

Envoy Tu Lan, in blue robes, nodded:

"Tomorrow is the selection for your Ninth Realm martial artists; remember to call me!"

Having watched for two days, the overall quality of the Blue Star civilization's Huanshu Realm made her feel disappointed.

Facing other civilizations like this, there would only be a result of total annihilation.

But the Lianqiao Realm surprised her, giving birth to a full three galaxy-level geniuses, even if they weren't at their peak state yet.

But the future was bright, and perhaps they could bring victory!

Of course, wanting to win the Seed Trial was still incredibly difficult!

The final hope still had to be placed on the Ninth Realm martial artists; they were the top-tier combat power gathered from the entire civilization.

After speaking, she instantly disappeared from where she was.

At this time in the stands:

Lin Qi was teleported back, and he was greeted by even more intense congratulations.

Jiang Tao hugged Lin Qi excitedly and shouted:

"Brother Qi, you are truly too fierce; you actually won!"

"You are now the second genius of our Blue Star, the strongest in the Eighth Realm!"

"I knew you would win!"

Lin Qi also smiled after hearing this; after winning, the praise from others still made one feel pleasant!

Dean Liu, Mu Hong, Xue Zhou, and others looked at each other, as if it were a lifetime ago.

A few hours ago, who could have thought that in the end, it would be Lin Qi who won the final victory.

And in a sweeping posture, defeating all Eighth Realm geniuses.

No matter how famous the genius was, facing Lin Qi, they only had the ending of losing!

Lin Qi's strength also made them happy; the stronger he was, the greater the probability of winning the Seed Trial.

"Everyone!"

Just as everyone was cheering, the Shanhe King, in silver robes, was projected out again.

His voice was like a great bell, and he announced loudly:

"The Eighth Realm selection, from 8 o'clock to now at 3 o'clock, five hours have passed!"

"Until now, I announce it is over!"

"Congratulations to the Xia Guo's contestant Lin Qi for successfully becoming the strongest in the Eighth Realm selection!"

"Not only him, but also the other nine contestants!"

"In a month, they will represent our Blue Star civilization to participate in the Seed Trial!"

"And the defeated contestants still have one last chance!"

"In a month, you will have the opportunity to challenge again; if you win, you can take their place!"

"I announce the Eighth Realm selection is officially over!"

After speaking, in everyone's sight, the Shanhe King dissipated, replaced by 10 virtual avatars with names marked below.

And Lin Qi's name was ranked at the very top!

In the stands, Li Tianxing stood up and looked at Sun Sheng, who was bowing his head in thought, and smiled:

"What?"

"Lost one match and became so dejected?"

"Or are you broken, so fragile in your heart?"

Sun Sheng's expression was complex: "Don't bother me, I'm thinking!"

"It's just a battle; lost is lost, I'm just replaying it!"

"This defeat to Lin Qi has benefited me greatly; I wasn't working hard enough before!"

"Whether it's physical fitness or martial arts technique, I'm a bit inferior to Lin Qi!"

"In the next month, I must practice even harder!"

"Before the Seed Trial, I want to have another battle with Lin Qi!"

Li Tianxing also said: "Did you forget about me?"

Sun Sheng didn't care: "Anyway, you can't win against me."

After speaking, he chose to go offline directly!

Beijiang Province, Black Dragon Base, 206, Martial Arts Room.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Qi opened his eyes and turned off the virtual bracelet on his wrist.

He glanced at the time on the wall.

It was already 3 o'clock in the morning; after 5 hours, the Eighth Realm selection was finally over!

And he had successfully achieved his goal, continuously defeating top geniuses of Blue Star like Dongshan Fengxiong, Ajay, Augustus, Li Tianxing, and Sun Sheng.

Becoming the strongest in the Eighth Realm!

He looked at his panel again, and several messages popped up.

【You battled the strong enemy Sun Sheng, gained new insights into the spear technique "World-Ending Spear Canon," spear technique greatly improved, spear technique +3%】

【You battled the strong enemy Sun Sheng to the limit, gained new insights into the movement technique "Nine Flashes of the Thunder Extreme," movement technique greatly improved, movement technique +3%】

【Spear Technique: Fifth Rank 46% -> Fifth Rank 49%】

【Movement Technique: Fifth Rank 36% -> Fifth Rank 39%】

Lin Qi looked at the improvement in spear technique and movement technique and immediately revealed a smile.

This improvement was too large.

In one night, he improved by nearly 6%~7%!

More than he had improved in several months.

This was the improvement brought by the collision between geniuses.

Otherwise, just deciding the 10 people would be enough; there was no need to continue. Wasn't it for the sake of exchange and promoting the improvement of martial arts?

He looked at the empty martial arts room; the selection was over, and next was preparing for the month-long Seed Trial!

"Hum, hum!!"

The next instant, his phone vibrated; picking it up, it was countless messages.

A group of acquaintances sent him messages, including Jiang Miaoyin, Guanshan of the Cangqiong Six Academies, and others.

There were also Yue Feng, Wu Lingyun, Zhang Cheng, and other former acquaintances who all sent congratulatory messages.

Lin Qi looked through them one by one and replied to the messages; time passed by another hour without him realizing it.

The last two messages were from Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing.

【Sun Sheng: Lin Qi, in a month, let's have another battle; I will definitely defeat you!】

【Li Tianxing: Congratulations on becoming the strongest in the Eighth Realm; in a month, let's have another battle!】

Lin Qi immediately revealed a smile; Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing were still full of fighting spirit.

However, they must practice desperately, because in a month, he would only be even stronger!

Thinking of this, he left the room.

After a simple wash, he went straight to bed.

Continuous battles with experts also consumed a lot of his mental energy.
