Chapter 612

Lin Qi looked at the information popping up in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head; unsurprisingly, he didn't pass the Fourth Gate.

The difficulty of this Fourth Gate far exceeded the Third Gate; even the top three, Fraser, Unida, and Hobbs, were all stuck at the Fourth Gate.

He looked at the 200-plus Zerg warriors in the sky, among which there were still 50 Fire Ant warriors.

They were stronger and harder to kill.

In addition to the improvement in ranking, Lin Qi also set his sights on the panel.

【You consumed the ancient blood vine and fought fiercely with a strong enemy; under intense pressure, your understanding of the spear technique "World-Extinguishing Spear Canon" improved significantly, Spear Technique +3%】

【You consumed the ancient blood vine and fought fiercely with a strong enemy; under intense pressure, your understanding of the body technique "Thunder Extreme Nine Flashes" improved significantly, Body Technique +3%】

【Spear Technique: Fifth Stage 66%→Fifth Stage 69%】

【Body Technique: Fifth Stage 60%→Fifth Stage 63%】

……

Lin Qi looked at the information on the panel and immediately revealed a smile.

The effect of the ancient blood vine was as useful as ever.

Especially for a genius like him, whose comprehension was already astonishing, improving it further was even more exaggerated.

Now there was still time, and his ranking still had room to rise.

"One more round, I can kill a few more Zerg warriors!"

However, Lin Qi also thought that the deadline was almost here.

So he chose to exit Lieyang Mountain.

……

At the same time, in other spaces, countless geniuses were still fighting with countless Zerg warriors.

"Puff~"

Sun Sheng, in golden armor, swung his gilded staff; every strike sent out heavy force that tore through the air, instantly smashing the bodies of Zerg warriors.

"Bang, bang!!"

He smashed his staff into the ground, and countless brown stone spikes broke through the soil, blocking the Zerg warriors who were launching an attack.

"Why is this Third Gate so difficult?"

"How on earth did that guy Lin Qi pass it!"

Sun Sheng fought crazily with the Zerg warriors, thoughts surfacing in his mind.

But there were too many Zerg warriors, and his body was soon submerged among them.

Similar to him was Li Tianxing, who controlled 20 red flying knives, crazily piercing through the bodies of Zerg warriors and killing his opponents.

And he himself faced a siege; having only two fire-attribute abilities, once he was engaged in close combat, the battle became increasingly difficult.

He persisted for two hours, failed to complete the kill target, and was completely submerged by the Zerg warriors.

At the same time, there were quite a few people stuck at the Third Gate; the powerful Zerg warriors gave everyone huge pressure.

……

In front of Lieyang Mountain, as the settlement time drew closer, more and more people gathered.

Fewer and fewer geniuses were entering, while more and more people were coming out.

"The Third Gate of Lieyang Mountain is too difficult; the Zerg Mother Empress's mental shock is simply impossible to resist."

"And the Zerg warriors, they are simply an army; ordinary martial artists would be swallowed instantly."

"Are real Zerg Mother Empresses this strong too?"

"Real Zerg Mother Empresses are only stronger; they are Cosmic Second Realm when they reach adulthood and can hatch Imperial Sky Realm Zerg warriors; 3-star combat power is just the beginning."

"Among them, top-tier existences can even hatch Zerg warriors with 5-star or even 6-star combat power!"

"Added to the huge number of Zerg warriors, even a genius with 9-star combat power would have a hard time facing them."

Everyone was discussing and looked at the Lieyang Ranking.

"Liu Ming from the Liuren Civilization has advanced three places again; he has now reached 113th."

"This is already his limit!"

Liu Ming, who had retreated from Lieyang Mountain, looked at his ranking and shook his head.

This was indeed his limit.

He wanted to enter the top 100 because that was another level.

Even in the entire Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu, he was considered a famous genius.

Countless geniuses in the universe might only remember the top 100.

As for 101st place, sorry, don't know them?

"Look, Lei Ze's ranking has advanced again; this time he advanced a full 10 places!"

"He advanced from 65th to 55th; it's too astonishing!"

Suddenly someone shouted, attracting the attention of many people.

"Truly gifted; in such a short time, his ranking has advanced continuously; could it be that he hasn't opened 100 acupoints yet?"

"After an ordinary person opens 100 acupoints, it becomes difficult to continue improving."

"They can only start from martial arts skills, hunting strategies, and combat methods."

"The top 30 rarely change."

"And with Lei Ze's current trend, his talent is enough to support him in entering the top 10, or even the top 3."

And at this time, the burly Lei Ze also walked out of Lieyang Mountain.

He looked at his ranking, listened to the praise around him, hugged the beautiful genius who came to meet him, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Lei Ze, your talent is more than this; perhaps in three months, your ranking will be able to enter the top 50."

Lei Ze also revealed a smug smile and said:

"Before breaking through to the Cosmic Second Realm, as long as there are enough resources, I will have no bottlenecks."

"A few months is enough for my strength to improve significantly!"

"The top three is my goal!"

And other geniuses not far away looked at Lei Ze and revealed expressions of envy.

Liu Ming was one of them; he was already a top-tier genius in the Liuren Civilization.

But after entering Lieyang Academy, he discovered that there were too many geniuses stronger than him.

So what if he is a star-system-level genius? In the academy, the least lacking thing is geniuses.

"Someone else has charged into the top 100; and there are two of them!"

"Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, who are they?"

Someone asked with a puzzled voice.

And Liu Hai and Feng Ti beside Liu Ming were shocked after hearing this.

They were exceptionally familiar with these two names.

Because they were the ones who were defeated by these two people.

"They actually entered the top 100 too?"

The tall Feng Ti couldn't believe it; she was only 168th now.

And Sun Sheng, who defeated her, had now surpassed the strongest genius of their Liuren Civilization.

And at this time, Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing also walked out of Lieyang Mountain one after another.

The two saw their rankings, looked at each other, and revealed smiles.

One was ranked 97th, and the other 98th; they had steadily entered the top 100.

"Hidden Civilization, could they also be geniuses from the Blue Star Civilization?"

"I remember now, they are also geniuses from the Blue Star Civilization."

"In the Seed Trial, they defeated the geniuses of the Liuren Civilization."

"I didn't expect them to have the talent for the top 100 too!"

"I remember there was also a genius named Lin Qi; what about his ranking?"

Someone was puzzled and continued to look toward higher rankings.

The geniuses of the Blue Star Civilization aroused their curiosity.

They wanted to know what the ranking of the most powerful genius was now.

"Someone has entered the top 50 of the Lieyang Ranking!"

Suddenly someone exclaimed.

Every time someone enters the top 100, 50, 10, or the top three.

There will be special effects; the higher the ranking, the stronger the special effect, making it hard not to notice.

Everyone looked at the Lieyang Ranking; the top 50 was already another level.

Lei Ze immediately looked over too.

Even with his current strength of having opened 92 acupoints, he was only ranked 55th.

The geniuses in the top 50 were all targets he wanted to surpass.

He failed to challenge the top 50, yet someone succeeded.

【No. 32 (↑53): Lin Qi (Hidden Civilization), Gates: 4】

……

Lei Ze saw the name, his eyes filled with great confusion, and when he saw that the other party had advanced 53 places in one breath, his eyes widened instantly.

"Advanced a full 53 places?"

"How is this possible?"

At this time, a huge uproar also broke out in the crowd, and everyone was discussing.

"Advancing from 85th to 32nd, it's truly exaggerated!"

"Did he have a huge improvement in the middle?"

"I've been at Lieyang Academy for several years, and this is the first time I've seen a genius improve so quickly."

"I remember now, Lin Qi is the number one genius of the Blue Star Civilization, the existence who defeated Liu Ming in the Seed Trial."

"It's only been a few months, and his strength has completely surpassed Liu Ming."

"Now Liu Ming is only ranked 112th, while Lin Qi is already 32nd."

"Never mind Liu Ming, even Lei Ze has been surpassed by Lin Qi!"

"Lei Ze's progress was already fast enough, but who could have thought that a Lin Qi would suddenly emerge, 23 places higher than him!"

Everyone made exclamations and discussions.

Lei Ze, who was already the focus of everyone's discussion, was instantly surpassed.

Lei Ze's expression was serious; he had absolutely no memory of this person Lin Qi.

Because he wouldn't remember existences weaker than himself.

And at this time, Liu Ming and other Liuren Civilization geniuses were all shocked.

They looked at the name in 32nd place, only feeling it was unfamiliar.

"This……"

Liu Ming exhaled and couldn't help but shake his head: "Completely incomparable!"

"We have to tell our teacher about this news."

"Besides the Red Emperor, Blue Star actually has such a powerful genius; we still underestimated Blue Star."

……

"Lin Qi is out!"

The moment Lin Qi came out, he saw the sea of geniuses gathered in front of Lieyang Mountain.

All of them were emitting powerful auras.

If they were to come to Blue Star, Blue Star would be destroyed in less than 10 hours.

The next second, the sound of people discussing him reached his ears.

"He is Lin Qi, what a strong aura!"

"I wouldn't have known if I hadn't seen it; I thought he was a noble genius from some top-tier civilization!"

"Today, he is the one who stole the show!"

Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing walked over; Sun Sheng, in particular, punched Lin Qi in the chest and laughed:

"Good for you, Lin Qi, you really know how to give people surprises!"

"How on earth do you cultivate, you guy?"

"I didn't expect you to surpass so many people!"

"After going back, I must focus on strengthening my mental power cultivation; the Zerg Mother Empress's mental shock is too annoying."

Li Tianxing shook his head:

"You really should cultivate mental power; among the three of us, your mental power is the worst."

"Didn't you notice that Lin Qi's mental power has already broken through to the Ninth Realm?"

Sun Sheng was surprised: "So fast?"

The people around were also shocked after hearing this.

"How terrifying, Lin Qi is just a martial artist, yet he possesses such powerful mental power!"

"Lin Qi, congratulations!"

A familiar voice rang out, and Lin Qi saw the owner of the voice—Liu Ming!

Liu Ming revealed a smile and said:

"Your talent is stronger than mine; congratulations on reaching 32nd place; I hope you can challenge for the top 20, or even the top 10 next."

Liu Hai also revealed a smile and said:

"Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, you guys are indeed powerful enough!"

"The Liu Yu who is currently presiding over the support work is my uncle; if you encounter difficulties in the future, just report my name!"

Feng Ti also spoke: "I also have a clan uncle who is heading to Blue Star; he is a peak Cosmic Second Realm mental master; with him there, the people below won't act recklessly."

Liu Ming also spoke slowly: "Our Liuren Civilization will do our best to support Blue Star."

Lin Qi nodded and said: "Thank you very much!"

He knew why Liu Ming would say this; it was actually because of his talent.

He was willing to make friends with the three geniuses: himself, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing.

Of course, he knew there was no reason to refuse.

Liu Ming revealed a smile; being able to make friends with a genius like Lin Qi would only benefit their Liuren Civilization, not harm it.

"Lin Qi!"

Another voice came; Lin Qi looked over and saw the burly Lei Ze walking over with a beautiful woman.

He revealed a smile and said:

"I remember now, I've seen you in Teacher Fu Quan's class!"

"I didn't expect your talent to be so astonishing!"

"Let me introduce myself, I am Lei Ze!"

Lin Qi nodded and said: "I know you, a genius from a powerful civilization!"

Lei Ze shook his head: "Compared to you, I'm not that much of a genius."

"You have to be careful; next time I will definitely surpass you."

Lin Qi laughed: "I welcome your challenge!"

Lei Ze nodded after saying this, and other geniuses also came forward to greet him.

Lin Qi also got to know quite a few geniuses.

"Fraser, Unida, and Hobbs are out!"

"It's a pity their rankings still haven't changed; the top three, no, it can even be said that the top ten are still terrifyingly stable."

"Other geniuses can't shake their status."

"Perhaps Lin Qi has a chance!"

"Once other geniuses break through, perhaps it will be time for him to enter the top ten."

"There will be a good show to watch in the next few months!"

Hobbs, who was tall and had silver skin, looked at the Lieyang Ranking and shook his head.

The gap between the top three was negligible.

A slight gap would affect the final ranking.

"If it were based on combat, I might be ranked first."

"But facing the siege of the Zerg, I'm still not as good as the mental master Fraser, or Unida who excels in speed!"

Hobbs thought in his heart, summarized it, and prepared to go offline to wait for the Lieyang Ranking settlement.

Suddenly, a burst of discussion reached his ears.

"Lin Qi, 32nd?"

"Advancing so fast, a genius even more powerful than Lei Ze; Lieyang Academy is indeed full of geniuses, and geniuses are always popping up."

"I must work harder; I have already reached the peak of the Acupoint-Training Realm, and next I have to break through to the Imperial Sky Realm."

"The Lieyang Ranking for entering the Imperial Sky Realm will yield more Deep Space Coins even if the ranking is lower."

Hobbs remembered Lin Qi's appearance; he had seen him in Teacher Fu Quan's class.

Maybe they will have some interaction in the future.

……

"Brother Qi!!"

Lin Qi was communicating here when the burly, dark-skinned Jiang Tao walked over.

He shook his head: "I am only ranked 600th on the Lieyang Ranking; there are too many geniuses above."

"The reward this time probably won't be too much."

Sun Sheng said: "If you want to challenge the ranking, it won't work without awakening three types of abilities."

Lin Qi also nodded and said: "You should continue to cultivate hard, reach the peak of blood exchange, and once you pass the test of the No. 9 relic and get the bloodline evolution potion, you might be able to awaken a third ability."

Jiang Tao nodded and remembered it.

In Blue Star, awakening two types of abilities is an extremely rare genius.

But in Lieyang Academy, such geniuses are everywhere; there are hundreds of thousands, or even millions of them.

And only star-system-level geniuses are truly top-tier geniuses.

His talent is still improving; if he can have the bloodline evolution potion, he can directly become a star-system-level genius.

"Time is up!"

"Rewards are starting to be settled!"

Suddenly someone spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

They looked at the Lieyang Ranking.

【Lieyang Ranking rewards are starting to be settled!】

The next instant, information popped up in front of most geniuses.

"My reward has arrived, only 500 Deep Space Coins; this money is enough to let me take a step further."

"I have a 1,000 Deep Space Coin reward; it's so little, I wish it were more!"

Lin Qi was also looking at the information that popped up.

【Martial artist Lin Qi from the Blue Star Civilization, you are ranked 32nd on the Lieyang Ranking, you will receive a reward of 60,000 Deep Space Coins, Deep Space Coins +60,000】

……

Lin Qi saw this and immediately revealed a smile; this money was even more than he imagined.

With this money, he can buy 6 bottles of Acupoint-Opening Liquid, enough to open his acupoints to 100.

And he can get 60,000 every three months; it's simply too profitable.

Sun Sheng beside him shook his head: "I actually only got 20,000 Deep Space Coins!"

"It's not as good as the 50,000 Deep Space Coins for a 500-win streak."

Li Tianxing said: "You should be content!"

"The reward for a 500-win streak can only be taken once, while the Lieyang Ranking reward can be taken continuously."

Lin Qi said: "Now that the rewards have been settled, it's time for us to go offline too!"

Everyone nodded; most people did the same and chose to go offline directly.

……

In personal space

On the spacious martial arts field, Lin Qi looked at his balance; he now had about 100,000 Deep Space Coins.

He could maintain his cultivation for a long time.

"The effect of the ancient blood vine is still there; let's start the battle in the Cosmic Martial Arena!"

"It just so happens that I'm almost at a 1,000-win streak!"

Lin Qi made a quick decision.

【Nickname: Yang Jian】

【Realm: Cosmic First Realm Acupoint-Training】

【Record: 100% (985 wins, 0 losses)】

【Combat Power: 8 Stars】

【Galaxy Ranking: 1】

【Triangulum Star System Ranking: 4.23 million】

【Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu Ranking: 130 million】

……

Lin Qi shook his head looking at his ranking; his actual combat power would only be stronger than his ranking.

Of course, it doesn't exclude the fact that there are indeed more geniuses in the Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu.

His current number of wins is still too small, which is also one of the elements for ranking reference.

【Start matching!】

【Matching successful!】

The next instant, his figure disappeared from where he was.

……

Four hours later

After choosing his combat equipment and opening his eyes, he found himself in a world of ice and snow.

"Whoosh, whoosh!!"

Bone-chilling cold winds were blowing around. Everywhere he looked, there was vast white snow, and a blizzard was raging.

At the same time, opposite him, a figure also appeared out of thin air.

"It's him!"

Lin Qi frowned after seeing the other party; the opponent he matched with this time was actually Lei Ze!

【Nickname: Lei Ze】

【Win Rate: 92% (2,790 wins, 210 losses)】

【Combat Power: 9 Stars】
