Chapter 594: Lin Qi Wins! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

"Clang clang clang!!"

In an instant, both figures blurred, like two bolts of lightning colliding in the air.

The audience could only see golden threads and green arcs constantly crossing and colliding.

Metal collisions constantly formed oscillation waves spreading toward the surroundings.

"Such fast speed!"

"Such strong power!"

Through constant exchanges, Liu Ming felt shocked in his heart; this opponent was even more powerful than he had imagined.

Not only possessing speed that could keep up with his own, but also possessing terrifying power.

Every genius who had awakened three abilities had no shortcomings.

Power, speed, defense—all were extremely strong, with no weaknesses.

After awakening three abilities, they also honed their strengths more, making their advantages increasingly obvious.

For example, Liu Hai's power and Liu Ming's speed.

But this time, the opponent made him feel tricky.

Both power and speed were extremely terrifying.

Both were about to catch up to his own speed.

This discovery made Liu Ming feel both shocked and happy; happy because he encountered a powerful opponent, a delight in seeing talent.

And Lin Qi also felt surprised in his heart.

He had watched dozens of Liu Ming's battles; the opponent's blade technique and force-exertion method were very subtle, something he had never seen before.

His blade-swinging speed was terrifyingly fast, and it didn't go in a straight line, but swung out in perfect arcs like circular arcs.

The connection of every blade was like split arcs, one blade faster than the next, the attack angle extremely tricky.

"Clang!"

In an instant, a golden light arc slashed out, smashing fiercely onto Lin Qi's neck.

"Pfft~"

This blade successfully made Lin Qi appear with a wound, breaking his defense.

Liu Ming's eyes lit up.

Defense broken!!

Good opportunity!

He instantly erupted with full strength, power surging through his whole body, his whole body shining with green light.

"Buzz buzz!"

The blade edge vibrated, agitating the airflow, Gangjin condensing into hundreds of blade shadows, each one real.

And his own war blade also accumulated power in an instant, the blessing of domain power reaching the extreme.

Lin Qi felt intense danger; hundreds of blade shadows, the power of each blade was stronger than simply unleashing blade Gang.

Hitting himself consecutively, even 【Vajra】 would have its defense broken.

So he swung the great spear, a golden protective shield emerging from his whole body, like a steel city wall, airtight.

"Clang clang!!"

Countless blade shadows slashed onto the shield, like smashing onto steel, all shattering.

"World-Destroying Spear Canon" killing move—Iron Prison!

"Boom boom!!"

Hundreds of blade Gangs bombarded the dazzling golden shield, like a great sun.

All the blade Gangs hit the shield and instantly shattered, the air vibrating, forming an energy storm, turning into green light spots, and dissipating together with the surrounding gale.

"Whoosh~"

At the same time, Liu Ming turned into a green stream of light, his speed reaching the extreme, the blade light like a green river pouring down.

"Silent Wind Formless Blade" killing move—Formless Wind!

It's now!

Lin Qi's eyes bloomed with dazzling golden light; he was waiting for this moment!

"Boom!!"

The golden shield suddenly exploded, and a strong golden shockwave spread toward the surroundings.

At the same instant, Lin Qi gripped the great spear with both hands, his muscles bulged, his whole body's blood rolled like muffled thunder, and power surged out continuously.

Golden threads appeared, breaking through heavy constraints, penetrating the air. In the perspective of the Golden Pupil, amidst the restless energy storm, he accurately locked onto Liu Ming's weakness.

The spear thrust out like a dragon, like a golden dragon roaring as it thrust out.

"World-Destroying Spear Canon" killing move—Instant Shadow Thousand Rays!

"Sshh!"

The great spear broke through several times the speed of sound, shuttling through the air; the energy storm could not block his speed.

"This……"

"Not good!"

Liu Ming widened his eyes, feeling intense danger; the strong rebounding shockwave caused his killing move to be seriously affected.

Once this killing move slowed down, the power would be greatly reduced.

"Swish!"

Cold light flickered before his eyes, a wisp of golden light shot out straight.

It rubbed against his sharp war blade.

"Fast!"

Liu Ming widened his eyes, exerting force crazily, wanting to block Lin Qi's great spear.

The weapons of both sides rubbed against each other, the sharp spear tip penetrating Liu Ming's neck straight.

"Pfft~"

And Liu Ming's war blade slashed onto Lin Qi's neck, successfully breaking his defense, fresh blood flowing out.

But that was all!

Opposite him, Liu Ming, fresh blood surged at his neck, fresh blood spraying out.

The entire neck was pierced through by the great spear, thoroughly strangling all vitality.

"Boom!!"

A deafening energy storm rang out; people in the audience area only saw two figures and the fresh blood that splashed out.

After the energy storm dissipated and the energy vanished, everyone saw the result clearly.

Liu Ming wiped the fresh blood from his neck, didn't say a word, and turned into nothingness and dissipated.

【Aperture Opening Realm, Additional Match: Lin Qi (Blue Star) wins!】

Above the arena, the intelligent female voice announced the final result.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Qi gripped the great spear, only feeling his whole body relax, the invisible pressure dissipating.

A strong sense of pleasure surged into his heart.

"Buzz!"

The next instant, he was also teleported back to the audience area.

"Clap clap clap!!"

After the result came out, thunderous applause and deafening cheers rang out in the audience area.

"Won!!"

"Golden Emperor is awesome!"

"Lin Qi is awesome!"

"Lin Qi is too awesome, actually won again, he is too strong!"

"We won the second round, won!"

Lin Zhen, Fang Huiyi, Liu Yuanzhang, Mu Hong, Xue Zhou, and other acquaintances in the audience area also applauded crazily.

"Lin Qi really would win!"

"At critical moments, he has never lost, always giving people surprises." Liu Yuanzhang sighed.

"Thanks to Lin Qi, now we have won the second round; at least it is medium civilization potential." Xue Zhou also spoke.

……

Compared to the boiling and joyful Blue Star audience area.

The Liu Ren civilization instantly fell into despair.

"How is this possible?"

"Liu Ming actually lost?"

"Is this fake? Our Liu Ren civilization's strongest Aperture Opening Realm genius actually lost to a Blue Star native?"

Countless people of the Liu Ren civilization instantly had their defenses broken. They couldn't accept such a result.

……

Liu Ren civilization contestant seating area.

Liu Ming was teleported back, touching his neck, his expression dull.

The feeling of being pierced through the neck just now seemed to still be there; he felt puzzled in his heart, where exactly did it start to go wrong.

His brain operated rapidly, subconsciously beginning to review the entire battle.

Especially the last few seconds, the battle ended instantly.

"I fell for it!"

He recalled, only then discovering he had fallen for it; he attacked Lin Qi's broken defense, thinking it was a good opportunity.

Actually, that was a flaw deliberately sold by the opponent.

It was just to make him release his killing move.

Killing moves were different from ordinary moves; although the power was exceptionally strong, they also consumed a lot of energy and physical strength.

So even Galaxy-level geniuses couldn't use them without limit.

The opponent deliberately let him release the killing move, letting himself enter the trap, and then killed himself through two moves.

Especially the opponent's killing move, it was truly fast and accurate, completely thrusting at the weakness of his own killing move.

If it were just this, it would be fine, but the opponent's final eruption, the speed was unbelievably fast.

He actually couldn't block it either.

Such an opponent was too terrifying!

Just as Liu Ming was thinking, the others were also dumbfounded.

The other two Galaxy-level geniuses, Liu Hai and Feng Ti, also fell silent.

"Liu Ming actually lost too, how could this be?"

Someone spoke in disbelief; this blow was too big, a top genius like Liu Ming actually lost too.

Tian Renliu's expression also changed, and the shock in his heart couldn't be covered.

His most excellent disciple actually lost to a native genius.

Of course, losing was losing; he had also lost many battles before.

The most critical thing was that in the second round, their Liu Ren civilization lost.

Following Liu Ming's defeat in the additional match, they lost the Aperture Opening Realm round.

The current situation between the two sides was 1:1.

According to the best-of-three rule, in their next round, they must win.

But he was afraid that in the Void Air Realm, the Blue Star civilization also had powerful geniuses.

Thinking of this, he regretted it again; if he had known, he should have scouted the opponent's data in advance.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have lost.

……

In the inspection team's audience area.

Tu Lan looked at the final result and immediately revealed a smile:

"Actually won!"

Deacon Ta Jia, beside her, was stunned:

"The Liu Ren civilization actually lost; it is truly too surprising."

"In the 1,000 Seed Trials I have hosted, this is the first time a supported civilization has obtained a round victory."

"It can be considered breaking new ground."

The others were also dumbfounded; how could this Blue Star civilization be so powerful?

Especially this one called Lin Qi, actually able to win against Liu Ming.

Who would have dared to imagine this.

A tiny Blue Star civilization actually birthing so many geniuses.

Simply unbelievable.

"Whoosh~"

Deacon Ta Jia calmed his inner self and began to project out, preparing to announce the result.

……

Blue Star contestant seating area.

"Clap clap!!"

After Lin Qi was teleported back, he was greeted by the applause of the crowd.

He looked at the Red Emperor and laughed:

"I have fulfilled the mission!"

The Red Emperor, in red robes, revealed a smile: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"You have made a huge contribution to our Blue Star civilization; this will be recorded in the history of our Blue Star."

"Countless people will remember your achievements."

Jiang Tao also laughed loudly: "Lin Lin Qi Ge, I knew it, you wouldn't lose!"

"How could Liu Ming be your opponent!"

Sun Sheng also revealed a smile:

"I knew it, how could you lose."

"Someone who can defeat me, how could they lose to Liu Ming."

Li Tianxing said ruthlessly: "You are just sticking gold on your own face!"

The air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Everyone's pressure was gone.

Winning a round was truly not easy.

After everyone quieted down, above the arena, Deacon Ta Jia was also projected out, and he announced with a voice like a bell:

"I am Deacon Ta Jia; I announce that the second round of the Seed Trial, the Aperture Opening Realm competition, the Blue Star civilization wins!"

"Currently, the combat record of both civilizations is 1:1."

"Next, we will proceed to the third round of the Seed Trial, the Void Air Realm martial artist competition."

"This round will determine the final victory or defeat of the two civilizations!"

"Please, both civilizations, prepare yourselves!"

……

The audience in the audience area also calmed down, quietly waiting for the start of the third round.

"In the third round, our Blue Star civilization has a chance; the Ninth Realm title-level martial artists are all the most excellent existences of our Blue Star."

"They are all those who killed their way out from the early stage of the Martial Path Epoch; their talent and will are the strongest."

"Perhaps, we have a chance to obtain victory!"

……

In the contestant seating area, everyone's eyes were also placed on the 10 people in the first row.

They were the 10 strongest people in the entire Blue Star civilization.

Lin Qi thought secretly in his heart; wanting to obtain victory, the key still depended on the five people: Red Emperor, God of War, Ganges Venerable, Ice Emperor, and Overlord.

Not only because of talent but also because of heritage.

Because only they had five-star rated manuals.

The others practiced four-star rated manuals.

For example, the Shanhe King, he practiced the four-star "Shanhe Heavy Heaven Spear."

And the opponents were definitely all practicing five-star manuals; this was the gap in heritage. In high-end competitions, the gap in heritage had a very large influence on the battle.

So the five people of the Red Emperor were recognized as the strongest five of Blue Star; the other Ninth Realm martial artists had a huge gap with them.

And the Red Emperor was much stronger than the other four, so Lin Qi guessed that this Ninth Realm round, like their round, would adopt the same strategy.

He saw the Overlord, in purple robes, slowly stand up, and he laughed:

"First match, let it be me!"

"The Liu Ren civilization has already guessed our plan, so in the first match, they cannot send the weakest genius again."

"And they won't choose opponents first, not giving us any opportunity."

"But no matter how strong the opponent is, I have the confidence to defeat them!"

The Red Emperor, with deep eyes, nodded: "It is entrusted to you, Overlord!"

The Overlord nodded, and when the time came, he turned into a blue beam of light and shot into the sky.

……

At the same time,

Liu Ren civilization contestant seating area.

Tian Renliu was waiting for the opponent to go first; as long as he arranged the contestant within the specified time, it would be fine.

He looked around at the 10 Void Air Realm geniuses and instantly made a decision.

"First match, Feng Yan, you go!"

Others were shocked: "Letting Feng Yan go in the first match, he is our fifth-ranked powerhouse in the Void Air Realm."

"It seems the senior also has to be vigilant."

A burly man wearing red-white robes stood up, and he slowly nodded: 【59

"The Flowing Blade civilization actually lost; this is truly so surprising."

"In the 1,000 Seed Trials I have presided over, this is the first time a supported civilization has won a single match."

"This can be considered setting a precedent."

The others were also dumbfounded. How is this Blue Star civilization so powerful?

Especially this one called Lin Qi, who was actually able to defeat Liu Ming.

Who would have dared to imagine this?

A tiny Blue Star civilization has actually given birth to such a genius.

It is simply unbelievable.

"Hoo~"

Administrator Ta Jia calmed his inner thoughts, began to project himself, and prepared to announce the result.

At the Blue Star contestant seating area.

"Clap, clap!!"

After Lin Qi was teleported back, he was greeted by the applause of the crowd.

He looked at the Red Emperor and smiled:

"I have not failed the mission!"

The Red Emperor, draped in red robes, revealed a smile: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"You have made a tremendous contribution to our Blue Star civilization; this will be recorded in the history of our Blue Star."

"Countless people will remember your achievements."

Jiang Tao also laughed loudly: "Lin Lin Qi Ge, I knew you would win!"

"How could Liu Ming possibly be your opponent!"

Sun Sheng also revealed a smile and said:

"I knew it, how could you possibly lose."

"Someone who can defeat me, how could they possibly lose to Liu Ming."

Li Tianxing said ruthlessly: "You are just gilding your own face!"

The air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Everyone's pressure was gone.

Being able to win one match was truly not easy at all.

After everyone quieted down, above the arena, Administrator Ta Jia also projected himself, and he was seen announcing in a voice like a booming bell:

"I am Administrator Ta Jia. I announce that in the second match of the Seed Trial, the Aperture-Refining Realm competition, the Blue Star civilization wins!"

"Currently, the combat power of both civilizations is 1:1."

"Next, we will proceed to the third match of the Seed Trial, the Void-Traversing Realm martial artist competition."

"This match will determine the final outcome between the two civilizations!"

"Please have both civilizations prepare!"

The audience in the stands also calmed down, quietly waiting for the start of the third match.

"In the third match, our Blue Star civilization has a chance. The Ninth Realm title-level martial artists are all the most outstanding existences of our Blue Star."

"They all fought their way out from the early Martial Path Epoch; their talent and willpower are the strongest."

"Perhaps, we have a chance to achieve victory!"

At the contestant seating area, everyone's gaze was also placed on the 10 people in the first row.

They are the 10 strongest people in the entire Blue Star civilization.

Lin Qi thought secretly in his heart that to achieve victory, the key still depends on the five of them: the Red Emperor, the War God, the Ganges Zunzhe, the Ice and Snow Emperor, and the Overlord.

Not only because of talent, but also because of the inheritance.

Because only they have five-star rated secret manuals.

The others are all practicing four-star rated secret manuals.

For example, King Shanhe, he practices the four-star "Mountain and River Heavy Heaven Spear."

And the opponents are definitely all practicing five-star secret manuals. This is the gap in inheritance. In high-end competitions, the gap in inheritance has a very large impact during battles.

Therefore, the Red Emperor and the other four are recognized as the five strongest in Blue Star; the other Ninth Realm martial artists have a huge gap compared to them.

And the Red Emperor is a large cut stronger than the other four, so Lin Qi guessed that for the Ninth Realm match, just like their match, they would adopt the same strategy.

The Overlord in purple robes was seen slowly standing up, and he smiled:

"For the first match, let me do it!"

"The Flowing Blade civilization has already guessed our plan, so in the first match, they cannot possibly send out their weakest genius again."

"And they won't choose their opponent first either; they won't give us any opportunity to exploit."

"However, no matter how strong the opponent is, I have the confidence to defeat them!"

The Red Emperor, with deep eyes, nodded and said: "It's up to you, Overlord!"

The Overlord nodded, and when the time came, he immediately transformed into a blue pillar of light and shot into the sky.

At the same time,

At the Flowing Blade civilization contestant seating area.

Tian Renliu was waiting for the opponent to go up first; as long as they sent a contestant within the stipulated time, it would be fine.

He looked around at the 10 Void-Traversing Realm martial artists and made a decision in an instant.

"For the first match, Feng Yan, you go!"

The others were shocked and said: "Sending Feng Yan up in the first match? He is our fifth-ranked powerhouse in the Void-Traversing Realm."

"It seems the senior has also had to become vigilant."

A burly man wearing red and white robes was seen standing up, and he nodded slowly:

"I will return with victory!"

After speaking, he transformed into a blue pillar of light and shot into the sky, descending onto the arena.
