Chapter 579: The Reward Given by the Red Emperor! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

The Eighth Realm selection ended, and the entire Blue Star remained shrouded in boiling excitement.

Many martial artists were so excited they didn't sleep all night; for martial artists, not sleeping for one night had almost no effect on the body.

And the names of Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing were also remembered by hundreds of millions of martial artists on Blue Star.

Even many people who were not martial artists knew their names.

Especially Lin Qi's name.

Ordinary people knew that the strongest Eighth Realm martial artist on Blue Star was named Lin Qi, and his nickname was—Golden Gangjin Spear Demon!

At the same time, many martial artists did not recognize this title.

Because they felt that Lin Qi already possessed Ninth Realm combat power, and he could already have his own title—Golden Emperor!

They felt that the future Lin Qi was destined to become the top powerhouse of the Xia Guo.

His talent, except for the Red Emperor, no one could obscure his radiance.

Martial Arts Calendar 2049, July 9th.

Black Dragon Base, Room 206.

Lin Qi got up from bed, washed simply, and opened his phone to browse the news.

He discovered that whether it was in short videos or in the Red Dome Home or War Home, everyone was discussing the Eighth Realm selection.

However, his own name was discussed many times.

Watching others blow up his strength, he immediately revealed a smile.

His whole body and mind were pleasant.

However, pleasure was short-lived; he still needed to invest in cultivation.

"Master, a call from the Shanhe King!"

The blue-clothed Xiaochuan beside him reminded him, simultaneously projecting a large green screen, and the determined face of the Shanhe King appeared on the opposite side.

Looking at Lin Qi, the Shanhe King smiled and said:

"Lin Qi, I am proud of you!"

"Congratulations on successfully winning first place in the Eighth Realm selection!"

Lin Qi smiled: "First place is just a title; I already have many such titles!"

The Shanhe King shook his head: "But you can always get generous rewards!"

Lin Qi's eyes lit up after hearing this:

"Could it be that there are rewards for this selection too?"

The Shanhe King nodded: "That's right!"

"For this selection, everyone who enters the Seed Trial will receive generous rewards!"

"And the person providing the rewards is the Red Emperor!"

Lin Qi realized; so there were rewards for participating in the Seed Trial.

The Shanhe King sighed: "This time, everyone's rewards are being paid by the Red Emperor!"

"Everyone has no objections!"

"Because the Red Emperor is the richest person on our entire Blue Star!"

"All the other Ninth Realm martial artists combined are not as wealthy as him!"

"He possesses the most massive industries and the most copyrights for martial arts manuals!"

"The speed of the money-printing machine is not as fast as he earns money!"

"He is powerful and often travels deep into other worlds, obtaining a large amount of heaven-and-earth treasures!"

"Many heaven-and-earth treasures are something even we Ninth Realm martial artists are exceptionally greedy for!"

"So after the Ninth Realm selection tonight, the Red Emperor will give rewards to everyone, allowing everyone to go further in the month-long Seed Trial!"

"So, you should also be prepared!"

"The higher the ranking, the more generous the reward!"

"Enough talk, I also need to prepare for the selection tonight!"

After speaking, the Shanhe King actively closed the video call.

Lin Qi looked at the empty martial arts room and fell into thought.

The Shanhe King had to prepare for the Seed Trial selection.

However, Lin Qi felt that his grandmaster was a bit uncertain; according to strength, he could enter the top five in the Xia Guo.

But in the entire Blue Star, he might not necessarily be able to enter the top 10.

There was some difficulty, but it wasn't impossible!

For him, the most critical thing was the Red Emperor's reward; after all, even other Ninth Realm martial artists were greedy for it.

As the first place in the Eighth Realm, the reward he could get would definitely not be small.

Thinking of this, he calmed himself down.

Entering the state of cultivation, he took out the black-gold great spear from the space bracelet.

Looking at the spear in his hand, the Eighth-Rank enhanced version of the great spear.

In the virtual world, when he used his full strength, ordinary Eighth-Rank weapons couldn't withstand it.

Only the enhanced version could.

"Shoo, shoo!!"

He instantly thrust out the great spear, the spear tip shaking, continuously piercing through the air.

Battling other experts, he had new insights into spear techniques.

He then executed the "World-Ending Spear Canon"; in this selection, the "Golden Light Scroll" had almost no improvement.

But the insights into the "Golden Edge Scroll" and "Diamond Scroll" were greatly improved.

However, there were still many places he needed to improve, and he only had one month left.

Unknown opponents were always frightening.

And Lin Qi was also worried in his heart; if he could know how strong his opponents were, that would be great.

Soon he removed the distracting thoughts from his heart and devoted himself to cultivation.

Others' praise and blowing were like wind passing by the ear, blowing for a while and then dissipating.

At night, the Ninth Realm martial artists of the entire Blue Star conducted a secret selection.

Nearly two hundred contestants were selected to find the strongest 10.

Countless martial artists lamented why other martial artists couldn't watch.

The Eighth Realm martial artists' battle was already so brilliant; the Ninth Realm martial artists' selection would be even more so.

Late at night, in the Red Realm, during the Ninth Realm martial artists' selection.

In the stands, the Red Emperor was teleported back, his gaze looking at the 10 names above the arena.

The selection was over, and the ten strongest contestants had been selected!

His gaze looked at Envoy Tu Lan, in blue robes, beside him, and he asked:

"Inspector Envoy Tu Lan, how is the strength of our Blue Star's Yu Kong Realm martial artists!"

Envoy Tu Lan, in blue robes, sighed after hearing this:

"I really didn't expect that your Blue Star actually has a fifth genius who awakened three abilities."

"His nickname is God of War; he is indeed powerful!"

"The overall quality of your Ninth Realm martial artists is amazing, even stronger than the Eighth Realm!"

"If it were an ordinary primary civilization, I wouldn't doubt at all that you could win at least two realms!"

"But unfortunately, the temptation of the trial planet is too great, which will attract some primary civilizations that have developed quite strongly."

"Most of them already possess dozens of life planets, or even hundreds of planets!"

"Being able to gather the strongest thirty geniuses from hundreds of billions, trillions of lives!"

"They don't lack inheritance, don't lack guidance, and don't even lack resources!"

"Each one is the peak of their respective realm!"

"If you want to win, it's very difficult!"

"Even with five geniuses with three abilities, it is still the same!"

After hearing this, the Red Emperor also felt heavy pressure!

He changed the topic and asked:

"Can I know what civilization my opponent is, and the rules of the Seed Trial?"

Envoy Tu Lan shook her head: "Currently, it is impossible to know; there are quite a few who have their eyes on your Blue Star civilization, and they also need to compete!"

"To decide the final supported civilization!"

"And the rules of the Seed Trial need to be decided through the discussion of the Deep Space Academy!"

"However, in two days, you will know your opponent!"

Time came to the morning of July 10th.

Black Dragon Base, still calm, there had been no disaster beast tide for several consecutive days.

This made many martial artists in the base feel unaccustomed, as if the heavens were also helping the Blue Star civilization, allowing them to complete the selection without distractions.

At the same time, after one night, a list quickly leaked out on the internet, spreading across the entire Blue Star at an extremely fast speed, and hundreds of millions of people downloaded it.

That was the 10 martial artists of the Ninth Realm selection.

Lin Qi naturally saw it too, and it was edited very realistically:

Ranked first was the Red Emperor, second place God of War, third place Ganges Venerable, fourth place Ice and Snow Emperor, fifth place Overlord...

Lin Qi finally saw his grandmaster, the Shanhe King, in the last place.

He was a bit doubtful about the authenticity of this list.

"Master, information from the Shanhe King!"

The little blue-clothed Xiaochuan in the corner suddenly spoke, simultaneously projecting a screen; it was a WeChat message sent by the Shanhe King.

【Shanhe King: Lin Qi, come to my apartment!】

"Grandmaster is looking for me?"

After reading the message, Lin Qi got up; it just so happened that he also had doubts to ask the Shanhe King.

Thinking of this, he went out directly.

Under the scorching sun, Lin Qi arrived at the door of the Shanhe King's apartment.

"Hum!"

The door slid open silently; in the living room, the Shanhe King, wearing silver robes, was sitting on the sofa making tea!

"Grandmaster!"

After Lin Qi entered, he greeted him and sat down opposite the Shanhe King skillfully!

The Shanhe King handed a cup of hot tea to Lin Qi:

"I called you over today to chat simply!"

"Later, we are going online to see the Red Emperor and choose your reward!"

Lin Qi took a sip of hot tea, his expression calm, but he was quite expectant in his heart.

He had been looking forward to the Red Emperor's reward for a long time!

"Grandmaster, I just saw a Ninth Realm Seed Trial list, and I saw your name on it!"

"Is this a real list?"

Lin Qi projected a list, and after the Shanhe King took a look, he immediately laughed loudly:

"This list is real!"

"I was lucky enough to successfully enter the list."

"It's just a pity for Qingxian; she was eliminated!"

"Four of us from the Xia Guo entered the Seed Trial, which is the most on Blue Star!"

Lin Qi nodded; whether it was the Seventh Realm, Eighth Realm, or Ninth Realm, in the Seed Trial, their Xia Guo people were the most numerous.

30 spots, they occupied almost half, which was enough to show the strength of the Xia Guo.

After the two chatted simply, the Shanhe King suddenly looked at his phone and then said seriously:

"Let's go, let's go see the Red Emperor!"

The Shanhe King sent Lin Qi a link!

Both opened their virtual bracelets and logged into the Red Realm!

"Hum!"

When Lin Qi opened his eyes, he had already arrived at the personal center of the Red Realm.

He clicked on the link sent by the Shanhe King, and the next second, his figure disappeared from where he was.

He entered a spacious office.

This was an office combining future technology and classicism; in the center of the red sofa, a tall man with a crimson aura.

His eyes were deep, as if he could see through all the secrets of heaven and earth.

"Lin Qi!"

"Lu Guanzhu!"

Lin Qi greeted him obediently.

The Red Emperor raised his hand, stretched out his solid arm, and let the Shanhe King and Lin Qi sit on the sofa on the ground.

Then he slowly opened his mouth and smiled:

"Lin Qi, you really didn't let me down!"

"I really didn't guess wrong; you are that kind of extremely rare recessive awakening!"

"The talent of this recessive awakening has a huge gap between the upper and lower limits!"

"Some people awaken one, and that is the limit, while some people can successively awaken two or three talents!"

"Can even let three talents transform into a special physique?"

"And Lin Qi, your recessive awakening has a higher upper limit than we imagined!"

Lin Qi nodded, capturing the keywords.

"Special physique?"

The Red Emperor explained: "This is also what I knew after coming into contact with the universe!"

"The universe is vast, our human race occupies a vast territory, and in the long years, countless geniuses have been born."

"Humanity has divided the levels of various talents into several grades."

"Geniuses who awaken three abilities are called galaxy-level geniuses."

"In a galaxy, only a few can be born every once in a while!"

"And above this, there are a very small number of gifted geniuses; their talents go a step further, allowing abilities to merge, allowing the body to transform, condensing into a special physique!"

"Geniuses who awaken a special physique have stronger talents, higher upper limits, and are extremely rare!"

The Shanhe King beside him said:

"The Red Emperor awakened a special physique!"

The Red Emperor nodded: "I was lucky enough to awaken a special physique!"

"Making my martial arts path smooth sailing!"

Lin Qi realized, remembering his own 【Golden Gangjin Tyrant Body】.

So above three abilities is a special physique; this is a higher-level genius.

No wonder the Red Emperor is the strongest on Blue Star; in Blue Star, where two abilities are rare and three abilities are extinct.

He already possessed a special physique, his talent exceeding all geniuses by a large margin!

A unique talent, how could others compare to him.

Lin Qi had already experienced the power of a special physique; facing other martial artists of the same realm, it was basically a dimensional strike!

Other martial artists couldn't compare at all.

The Red Emperor smiled: "Lin Qi, your talent is not ordinary; in the future, it is possible that you might also awaken a special physique!"

"Our Blue Star civilization can also become even stronger!"

Lin Qi nodded!

The Red Emperor continued:

"There is less than a month until the Seed Trial!"

"Time is tight, you must become even stronger!"

"Old Huo should have told you that everyone who enters the Seed Trial will receive generous rewards!"

"As the first place in the Eighth Realm, the strongest, you will also receive the most rewards!"

"I have many heaven-and-earth treasures, enough to make your strength greatly improve!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, and a large green screen was projected in 3D in front of the three!

Two things appeared!

The Red Emperor asked beside him:

"Lin Qi, how many acupoints have you opened so far?"

Lin Qi answered after hearing this: "55!"

The Shanhe King was shocked after hearing this; this speed was too fast, right?

Only five months after breaking through, he opened 55 acupoints; compared to Lin Qi, the cultivation speed of their group of Ninth Realm martial artists was simply ridiculously slow.

The Red Emperor's hand also paused, then continued:

"Very good; with your talent, it can be said to be very astonishing!"

"Awakening three abilities, your goal is to open at least 100 acupoints!"

"Currently, you are still 45 acupoints away from this goal, and there is still a lot of room for improvement!"

"I have a potion here called—Acupoint-Opening Liquid!"

"It was purchased from Inspector Envoy Tu Lan, refined from precious heaven-and-earth treasures, and made specifically for the Lianqiao Realm!"

"Although there are disaster beast crystals and other heaven-and-earth treasures now, in terms of effect alone, they are not as good as the Acupoint-Opening Liquid!"

"One bottle of Acupoint-Opening Liquid can open at least three acupoints!"

"The higher the talent, the stronger the effect!"

"It is the potion with the strongest acupoint-opening effect in the Eighth Realm, extremely precious!"

"Even in the universe, it is of great value."

"You are the first place in the Eighth Realm, so you can get two bottles!"

Lin Qi heard the Red Emperor's words, looked at the projected Acupoint-Opening Liquid, the crystal-clear deep blue potion, and felt joy in his heart.

At least open three acupoints?

He possessed a special physique, his talent could be said to be extremely terrifying; how many acupoints could he open?

Four, or five?

Two bottles of Acupoint-Opening Liquid down, he estimated he could make the acupoints reach 70; for other martial artists, they would have already reached the peak of the Eighth Realm.

One could imagine how precious the Acupoint-Opening Liquid was.

The Red Emperor continued: "After taking one bottle of Acupoint-Opening Liquid, you need to wait at least a month before taking another, enough for you to open more acupoints!"

"There is a second reward!"

Saying this, he pointed to another blood-red plant that looked like a wood vine and introduced it:

"This is the Ancient Blood Vine; taking the vine powder ground from it with ordinary water can temporarily greatly improve comprehension."

"Within 12 hours, your comprehension will increase several times, and practicing martial arts techniques will be greatly improved."

"And the Ancient Blood Vine is even more precious than the Acupoint-Opening Liquid!"

The Shanhe King beside him also said:

"The Ancient Blood Vine is extremely precious, only found deep in other worlds, and only the Red Emperor can find it."

"A section is worth tens of millions of merit points!"

"For us Ninth Realm martial artists, it is also exceptionally precious!"

"It is hundreds of times stronger than the Pu'er tea we drink!"

Lin Qi was shocked after seeing it; it was actually so precious!

However, it could actually greatly improve comprehension; with his own comprehension, suddenly greatly improving, whether it was spear technique or movement technique, it could be greatly improved.

Whether it was the Acupoint-Opening Liquid or the Ancient Blood Vine.

With his current merit points, he couldn't exchange for them.

They were priceless; it could be foreseen that once they appeared on the exchange list, they would be instantly exchanged by Ninth Realm martial artists.

And the Ancient Blood Vine was too precious; if the Red Emperor took it every day, it was unimaginable what terrifying realm his martial arts technique would reach.

This was the strong getting stronger!

He himself was in the Eighth Realm, divided into several grades, not to mention the Ninth Realm, where the combat power gap was estimated to be very serious.

Lin Qi thanked him: "Thank you, Lu Guanzhu!"

The Red Emperor was willing to take out precious heaven-and-earth treasures to let everyone improve their strength.

This breadth of mind and pattern was really not something an ordinary person could possess.

The Red Emperor waved his hand and said meaningfully:

"Everything is for our Blue Star civilization!"

"Blue Star is mine, and it is also your home!"

"Lin Qi, the tasks on you, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing are very heavy!"

"You are already the tall ones; if the sky falls, you have to hold it up."

"You must ensure victory!"

Lin Qi said seriously: "I understand!"

"Leave the Eighth Realm competition to me!"

The Red Emperor nodded: "Your reward will be delivered to the Black Dragon Base by tomorrow at the latest!"

"In the last month, don't waste it!"

Lin Qi nodded; the next month was too important for their Blue Star civilization.
