Chapter 586

Other World, in the Iron Great Wall base late at night.

In a spacious martial arts room.

"Boom!!"

Only to hear the air explode, forming a giant wave-like gale, all of which was blocked by the alloy wall, and not a single sound leaked out.

"Beep!"

Sun Sheng, wearing dazzling gold armor and wrapped in brown Gangjin, put away his fist.

Terrifying aura vented, like a giant ape roaring.

He stared red-eyed at the data on the electronic screen — "1350000kg!"

"1350 tons of fist power!"

After seeing his fist power, a smile instantly appeared on Sun Sheng's face.

"In one month, I improved by 90 tons of fist power, opened 10 aperture points, and now I have opened 60 aperture points."

"I also killed 4 Level Nine Disaster Beasts, one more than that guy Li Tianxing!"

"Now, even if it's Lin Qi, I have the confidence to defeat him!"

"As for Liu Ming of the Flowing Blade civilization, it should also be me who deals with him!"

"Even between galaxy-level geniuses, there is a gap!"

Sun Sheng was full of confidence; since he was a child, he knew that there was a gap between people, and between geniuses.

Even geniuses who awakened two types of abilities were divided into three tiers in Blue Star.

Placed in the universe, more tiers might be divided, and galaxy-level geniuses were the same.

He believed that with his talent, even among galaxy-level geniuses, he was also a top-tier existence.

If he reached the peak of the Eighth Realm and opened 100 aperture points, he felt he could easily defeat Liu Ming.

"Next, just wait for the battle the day after tomorrow!"

Sun Sheng clenched his fists; he had already finished taking the Aperture-Opening Liquid and Ancient Blood Vine, and his combat power had reached the limit.

……

In the martial arts room next to him

"Shoo shoo shoo!!"

Only to see 20 red flying knives tearing through the air like streamers, combining to form a huge red circular shield.

The next second, the flying knives decomposed, and in an instant, they flexibly combined into a giant flying blade.

Li Tianxing, wearing a white martial arts uniform and having handsome features, wielded a great spear in his hand, cooperating with the giant flying blade to launch an attack.

"Chee!"

The flying knives tore through the air, forming heavy sonic booms.

"In one month, my mastery of flying knives has improved to another level."

"The number of flying knives mastered increased from 16 to 20, capable of combining into more shapes."

"My combat power has also received a significant improvement."

Li Tianxing stopped, feeling 20 red flying knives circling around his body, dancing nimbly between his fingers, and he also had confidence in his heart.

"Even if I'm not Lin Qi's opponent, in the Flowing Blade civilization, besides Liu Ming, I have the confidence to defeat the other two galaxy-level geniuses!"

Thinking of this, he invested in cultivation again.

……

Martial Path Calendar 2049, August 9

Only three days left until the Fire Seed Trial

And today was also the last round of selection before the Fire Seed Trial.

Red Realm, on a huge arena, surrounded by spacious spectator seats.

"Hum hum!!"

Martial artists constantly went online, located in the spectator seats!

This time, all those who went online were high-level martial artists; there were no other spectators.

Lin Qi and acquaintances like Jiang Tao, Pei Yiqing, Liu Yuanzhang, Mu Hong, and Xue Zhou also went online and sat in the spectator seats.

"!"

Lin Qi looked not far away; it was Sun Sheng in a white robe and Li Tianxing in a red robe; the two of them went online together.

He nodded in response.

"Hum hum!!"

Then in the front row, Ninth Realm martial artists also went online one after another, besides the Ninth Realm powerhouses of their Xia Guo, there were others from other countries.

In the entire country, almost all martial artists were present.

"Everyone!"

Only to see above the arena, the Shanhe Wang's massive body projected out.

His temperament was still like a heavy mountain, and as soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.

Only to see the Shanhe Wang speak slowly:

"August 11, the Fire Seed Trial will officially begin!"

"For the future of our Blue Star civilization, we must select the strongest thirty geniuses!"

"Now, the geniuses who lost in the last round, you have one last chance to choose the opponent you want to challenge!"

"Defeat the opponent, and you will replace them."

"Start with the Seventh Realm martial artists!"

"Please welcome player Matt Quick from the White Eagle Federation, and player Alexander from the Bear Country!"

The Shanhe Wang announced loudly.

Players who needed to challenge would apply in advance, so there was no need to waste time, directly going on stage.

"Boom!"

A virtual arena emerged, and two crimson light pillars shot into the sky, descending onto the arena.

The fierce battle was also imminent!

Everyone watched, and the battle ended after a few minutes.

Challenger Matt Quick was defeated, failing to replace his opponent, and could not enter the Fire Seed Trial.

At this time, Liu Yuanzhang also sighed: "Everyone who can be selected for the Fire Seed Trial has extremely powerful strength."

"It's really too difficult to replace them."

Jiang Tao, with dark skin, smiled and said: "I have confidence in my strength; I am certain to get one of the spots."

Everyone nodded; they watched how Jiang Tao improved at a visible speed within a month.

A moment later

【Please welcome player Jiang Tao from the Xia Guo, and player Seiya Watanabe from the Sakura Country!】

"I'm going!"

Listening to the Shanhe Wang's voice, Jiang Tao stood up, turned into a crimson light pillar, and shot into the sky.

Descending onto the arena, his opponent was Seiya Watanabe from the Sakura Country.

It could also be said that he was the weakest among the ten.

Jiang Tao challenged him to ensure that he could enter the Fire Seed Trial.

In the loud announcement of the intelligent voice, the battle was imminent.

Three minutes later

"Puff~"

Jiang Tao's battle blade penetrated Seiya Watanabe's neck, and the opponent showed a horrified look.

"How is this possible?"

【Winner: Jiang Tao (Xia Guo)!】

"Congratulations to player Jiang Tao from the Xia Guo for successfully replacing player Seiya Watanabe and entering the Fire Seed Trial."

The Shanhe Wang's words came, and the entire spectator seats boiled over.

"Is there really someone who can win?"

"I thought it was just going through the motions; there's actually someone who can win!"

At the same time, Jiang Tao was also teleported back to the spectator seats.

"Taozi, congratulations on successfully entering the Fire Seed Trial!"

Lin Qi congratulated him!

Seventh Realm martial artists, geniuses who awakened two types of abilities, there were only three, plus Jiang Tao, that made four.

Facing the Flowing Blade civilization where everyone had double abilities, there was almost no chance of winning.

But at least there was a chance to contribute.

Jiang Tao's expression was exceptionally excited, and his whole person was exceptionally excited.

And the selection continued; after Jiang Tao, others also began to choose people to fight.

But not a single one succeeded.

Lin Qi knew the reason; they had the rewards given by the Red Emperor, their combat power was significantly improved, and they were already very strong, now they would only be stronger.

Half an hour later, the Shanhe Wang projected out again and announced loudly:

"The selection of Seventh Realm martial artists is officially over; 10 geniuses are officially determined and cannot be changed!"

"Next, we begin the selection of the Eighth Realm!"

"Please welcome player Mineo Higashiyama from the Sakura Country, and player Susi from the Sunset Country!"

The selection of Eighth Realm martial artists was seamless.

Lin Qi looked at Mineo Higashiyama in the arena, this Sakura Country genius who was eliminated by himself, still thinking about participating in the Fire Seed Trial.

He knew that the only ones willing to challenge were Mineo Higashiyama and Saina, two geniuses.

Others had no thoughts because the gap in strength was too large!

Without awakening two types of abilities, there was no qualification to participate at all.

A few minutes later, the result came out, and Mineo Higashiyama was defeated with regret.

In the second match, Saina Zagu from the White Eagle Federation made a move; she challenged Leon from Germany.

The result was still a regretful defeat.

Lin Qi shook his head; with the Ancient Blood Vine given by the Red Emperor, Leon's martial arts techniques were obviously improved.

The gap in strength had obviously widened; wanting to defeat him was impossible.

There was no such thing as fair or unfair; it was pure bad luck, and luck was also part of strength.

In the Fire Seed Trial, luck was also very important.

Unless one possessed top-tier talent like Jiang Tao, winning hard.

He could be sure that today the Red Emperor would make up for Jiang Tao's reward, allowing his combat power to improve again.

The two battles ended, and the Shanhe Wang projected out again and announced loudly:

"The Eighth Realm selection is completely over; 10 genius spots have been determined and cannot be changed!"

"The 30 players of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Realms are all determined!"

"Next, proceed to the next item; the twenty players of the Seventh and Eighth Realms will be ranked according to strength!"

"If you are dissatisfied with your ranking, you can challenge upwards!"

"Now I announce, start the Seventh Realm ranking battle!"

After the Shanhe Wang finished speaking, he projected a screen, only to see the avatars of 10 people, ranked according to strength.

And Jiang Tao's name was ranked last.

As the last one, he could be the first to challenge.

So he performed some operations on the projected screen.

"First match, player Jiang Tao from the Xia Guo vs. player Balin Berg from the White Eagle Federation."

As soon as this was said, the spectator seats were also boiling.

"Jiang Tao is so confident; he is ranked 10th and directly challenges the 4th ranked Balin Berg!"

"He does have this confidence; after all, he is also a genius who awakened two types of abilities!"

Amidst the discussion of the crowd, Jiang Tao and his opponent Balin descended onto the arena, and the battle was imminent.

A few minutes later, the battle ended.

Jiang Tao successfully defeated Balin, promoted to 4th place, while Balin was automatically postponed, becoming 5th place.

"Taozi, well done!"

After Jiang Tao returned, Lin Qi said.

Jiang Tao clenched his fists and said: "Brother Qi, Fire Seed Trial, I will definitely win a victory!"

Lin Qi nodded; it had to be said that Jiang Tao was indeed very fierce now.

In this month, the potential on his body was completely stimulated.

His talent was also the most top-tier among geniuses who awakened two types of abilities.

He probably already possessed 50% of his combat power when he was in the Seventh Realm!

More than enough to deal with other Seventh Realm martial artists.

If he possessed 60% of his combat power, facing the Flowing Blade civilization, he might be able to win.

……

Next, other Seventh Realm martial artists also began to challenge upwards.

Half an hour later, the challenge was completely over, and the Seventh Realm ranking didn't change much.

One month was still too short; everyone's combat power had improved, almost equivalent to no improvement.

The Ninth Realm martial artists sitting in the front row looked at the combat power of the Seventh Realm martial artists and sighed in their hearts.

The Overlord shook his head: "The overall quality of the Seventh Realm is still too low; they can't even gather 10 geniuses who awakened two types of abilities."

The Shanhe Wang also nodded: "The probability of winning is too low!"

"And there isn't even a galaxy-level genius; it's impossible to fight!"

The Red Emperor spoke: "Tomorrow we will know the rules of the Fire Seed Trial!"

"Tomorrow we can start formulating strategies!"

Everyone nodded; if the overall strength was not as good as others, they had to take some necessary measures to ensure their own victory.

And the Shanhe Wang also projected out again!

"Everyone!"

"The ranking battle of the Seventh Realm has completely ended!"

"Next, proceed to the ranking battle of the Eighth Realm!"

After speaking, the Shanhe Wang waved his hand and projected a ranking; Lin Qi saw that he was ranked first.

"First match, please welcome player Gu Jian from the Xia Guo; he will challenge player Susi from the Sunset Country!"

With the Shanhe Wang's announcement, the Eighth Realm ranking battle officially began!

Lin Qi sat in the spectator seats; he could see two gazes, coming from Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing respectively.

"These two guys will definitely challenge me later!"

Lin Qi secretly thought; of course, he also wanted to have a battle with the two, and through fierce battles, his martial arts techniques would also have a huge improvement.

He also had the Ancient Blood Vine; after the ranking battle ended, he would go back and take it, and his martial arts techniques would also have a significant improvement.

……

Next, the ranking battle was still going on.

Gu Jian failed to challenge and sat firmly in 10th place.

Then it was Susi, all wanting to make their ranking go further.

Then they were defeated one after another!

Soon it was Ajay's turn; he chose to challenge Andrei and was successfully defeated.

And Andrei challenged Augustus and was also defeated.

This ranking analyzed the strength of the ten people too accurately.

And Augustus, with blonde hair and blue eyes, knew he was not Li Tianxing's opponent, but still chose to challenge.

Then he was neatly and cleanly pierced through the neck by the red flying knives and fell to the ground and died!

"Next match, please welcome player Lin Qi from the Xia Guo to the stage!"

The Shanhe Wang's voice came to everyone's ears; Li Tianxing chose to skip Sun Sheng and directly challenge Lin Qi.

Sun Sheng, in a white robe, saw this and was immediately unhappy:

"What does Li Tianxing mean?"

"Think I can't beat Lin Qi?"

"Wait until I defeat Lin Qi, you will know who is the strongest genius."

……

"Boom!"

Lin Qi slowly stood up, turned into a crimson light pillar, and descended onto the arena.

When he walked out, he had already changed into Eighth-Stage equipment!

Looking at Li Tianxing opposite, he asked curiously:

"Why not challenge Sun Sheng?"

Li Tianxing's expression was calm: "He is not as strong as you!"

"Although I know I am not your opponent, fighting you might lead to greater improvement."

Lin Qi nodded: "I have the same thought!"

【Countdown: ……3, 2, 1】

【Eighth match of the ranking battle officially begins!】

……

Above the arena, the intelligent voice sounded instantly.

"Boom!"

A scorching aura filled the entire arena.

"Shoo shoo shoo!!"

20 red flying knives, turning into streamers, nimbly tore through the air and shot towards Lin Qi.

"Not bad, the speed has become faster!"

Lin Qi secretly nodded in his heart; in one month, Li Tianxing's strength had also made good progress.

Not only did the number of flying knives controlled increase, but the speed of the flying knives also became faster.

"Clang clang!"

In an instant, Lin Qi became excited, wielded the Black Gold Great Spear, tore through the air, and knocked the flying knives away.

……

In the spectator seats, countless spectators also looked over curiously.

The selection of Ninth Realm martial artists was conducted in secret. It was completely invisible, so now the battle between Lin Qi and Li Tianxing was already the highest-quality battle.

At the same time, Augustus, Andrei, and Ajay were also watching the battle.

Wanting to see the combat power at the peak of the Eighth Realm, compared with the geniuses of the Flowing Blade civilization, what the winning percentage was.

Ninth Realm martial artists also began to chat.

The Overlord opened his mouth: "Now that a month has passed, the strength of Li Tianxing and Lin Qi has received good improvement."

"They are stronger than before!"

"Worthy of being galaxy-level geniuses, stimulating talent, strength will receive a huge improvement!"

"I'm afraid some Ninth Realm martial artists are not their opponents."

Other Ninth Realm martial artists nodded; both could hunt Level Nine Disaster Beasts, already surpassing many Ninth Realm martial artists.

……

"Boom!"

In the arena, the collision of red flames and golden domains set off a gale, the collision of weapons formed explosions, setting off layers of waves.

This battle lasted for 10 minutes before it ended!

"Puff~"

In the energy storm, Lin Qi's Black Gold Great Spear pierced through Li Tianxing's heart!

"Li Tianxing, you have become stronger!"

Lin Qi praised.

Li Tianxing had blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he said:

"Still can't beat you!"

After speaking, he turned into nothingness and dissipated.

Teleported back to the spectator seats, Li Tianxing reviewed the whole battle in his mind; like last time, he was still not an opponent.

He was becoming stronger, and Lin Qi was also becoming stronger.

And it seemed that the speed of becoming stronger was faster than himself!

Sun Sheng beside him shook his head: "Tianxing!"

"Your strength is still too weak!"

"Wait and see how I defeat Lin Qi later!"

Li Tianxing shook his head seriously: "I can be sure, you can't win!"

Sun Sheng shook his head: "Wait a moment, you'll know!"

Only to see him operate in the personal center, choosing to challenge Lin Qi!

He was second place; in the ranking battle, he could only choose to challenge Lin Qi!

The next second, his body was wrapped in crimson light, turning into a light pillar and shooting into the sky.

"Boom!!"

The light pillar descended, Sun Sheng, wearing gold armor and carrying a gilded staff on his shoulder, walked out with big strides, his whole body still radiating strong confidence.

There was no change from a month ago.

The only change was his aura, which became more powerful.

"Lin Qi, today I want to defeat you and become the first place in the Eighth Realm!" Sun Sheng said directly.

Lin Qi smiled: "Sun Sheng, I hope you are still this confident later."

Sun Sheng grinned, his eyes blooming with red light: "That's natural!"

【Countdown: ……3, 2, 1】

【Ninth match of the ranking battle officially begins!】

……

"Boom!"

Sun Sheng, wearing gold armor, had three layers of patterns appearing under his skin, condensing into special geometric figures.

His whole body radiated a heavy and domineering aura.

"Shoo~"

The next instant, he shot out from the spot, held the gilded staff high, tore through the surrounding air, and smashed down like a mountain.

"Not bad, Sun Sheng, you have become stronger!"

Lin Qi raised the corners of his mouth, commented, and at the same time wielded his great spear, suddenly lifting it, releasing terrifying power.

The battle was imminent.

12 minutes later

"Boom!!"

The air exploded, the earth shook, setting off a piece of dust, Sun Sheng was embarrassedly embedded in the earth, his whole body wrapped in dust.

"Damn it, this guy……"

Sun Sheng gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Qi. Horror in his heart!
