Chapter 621: Pre-battle Breakthrough! (Seeking monthly votes)

After the meeting ended, everyone dispersed one after another.

Lin Qi and the others also exited the Star Palace meeting and entered a new conference room, where only the Ninth Realm martial artists of the Xia Guo were at the huge office table.

The Red Emperor looked around and said: "According to preliminary statistics, there are currently four Ninth Realm martial artists from our Xia Guo who cannot rush back."

"There are currently only 20 Ninth Realm martial artists from our Xia Guo who can take action."

Then he looked at the three people in the corner and said:

"Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing!"

"You are ranked in the top 50 on the Lieyang List and already possess the strength to defeat Void Flight Realm martial artists. Although it may put you in danger, I still have to ask: are you willing to take action for Blue Star?"

Lin Qi did not hesitate at all after hearing this: "It is my duty!"

Li Tianxing said seriously: "The universe wanted criminals must die!"

Sun Sheng nodded: "Me too!"

Ninth Realm martial artists like Shanhe Wang and Tian Gun immediately revealed smiles.

The Red Emperor nodded with satisfaction: "That's good!"

He looked around at everyone and said: "Tomorrow, everyone gather in the Imperial Capital!"

"Once the spaceship enters Blue Star, the moment the wanted criminals come out, hunt them down!"

"Leave the Universe Second Realm martial artists to me!"

"The others will deal with the Void Flight Realm universe wanted criminals!"

"Once you are not a match, request support immediately!"

"Remember, your own life is the most important!"

Bawang nodded: "Rest assured, we are not ordinary Void Flight Realm martial artists; no matter how many come, we will kill them all."

The Red Emperor nodded: "The only good news is that most of the wanted criminals are beings who have awakened one ability."

"Almost none have awakened two abilities!"

"And our Xia Guo's top combat power can all rush back."

"Killing the wanted criminals is not a difficult task."

Everyone's heavy mood finally relaxed a little.

……

A moment later, the meeting officially ended!

Lin Qi opened his eyes; the surroundings were quiet as he looked at the martial arts room.

At this moment, his mood also became serious, and he muttered to himself:

"The universe wanted criminals have finally arrived!"

"And there are no Aperture Refinement Realm ones; they are all Void Flight Realm, or even Universe Second Realm beings!"

"If they take action against ordinary people, the losses caused will be huge!"

"They are all heinous villains; they must all be killed!"

"Every one that stays alive is a huge danger!"

"I have to take action too; this is a real life-and-death struggle, not the Universe Martial Arts Arena where you can be resurrected if you lose."

Lin Qi also felt strong pressure.

"I am still too weak right now; I must become stronger."

"Beep!"

Instantly, his phone vibrated; he picked it up and saw that the Divine Aperture Fluid he purchased had been delivered.

Two minutes later.

At the entrance of Residence No. 5!

"Mr. Lin Qi, these are the items you purchased; please sign for them!"

A burly man wearing black combat armor smiled and spoke, handing over a metal briefcase; the other party's aura was Seventh Realm Blood Exchange, a high-level martial artist.

"Thank you!"

Lin Qi thanked him and took the silver metal briefcase from the other party's hand.

"Beep beep!"

He returned to the martial arts room and opened it using fingerprint and pupil scanning.

Lin Qi looked at the metal briefcase; he had awakened metal-attribute power and was particularly sensitive to metal.

Compared to before, the technology of the case had been improved.

The case opened, revealing 8 brand-new bottles of medicine, containing pink liquid, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

The moment one saw it, it reminded one of strawberries.

"As expected of medicine worth 50,000 Deep Space Coins; even the smell is fragrant."

Lin Qi simply sighed, took out a bottle directly, opened the cap, and drank it in one gulp.

"Gulp!"

The taste was sweet, leaving Lin Qi wanting more.

He then closed the metal case and put it into his space bracelet.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly, adjusted his breathing, and removed distracting thoughts from his heart.

Between breaths, he entered a state of cultivation without distractions.

He began to run the technique—"Jin Di Secret Canon"

This high-level source energy technique currently only had the cultivation chapter, allowing him to open 108 apertures, let his body cells undergo transformation, and break through to the Void Flight Realm.

But it lacked the Void Flight chapter, lacking content on how to cultivate in the Void Flight Realm.

According to the previous situation, their Blue Star also had Void Flight Realm cultivation techniques, but they were rare.

He would most likely head to Relic No. 9 and choose to pass the test to obtain the inheritance technique.

But now there was the Lieyang Dao Academy, which had the Myriad Dharma Pavilion, containing countless technique manuals.

There was no shortage of Void Flight Realm techniques; he had already heard that Bawang, Shanhe Wang, and the others had already changed their techniques.

And after he broke through to the Void Flight Realm, he would also have to start cultivating a new technique.

"Inhale~ Exhale~"

While breathing, the Divine Aperture Fluid he took began to take effect, and bursts of cool aura permeated his body.

Especially in the head, giving him a comfortable feeling of sleepiness; he began to mobilize his Qi and blood, slowly surging toward his head.

The head contained important organs such as the eyes, nose, ears, mouth, tongue, and brain.

And the eight apertures were located among them.

Inside his body, 100 apertures emerged, like golden whirlpools, silently connecting together.

Power circulated in his body; now only the last 8 apertures were missing, and once all apertures were connected and circulated, the body would undergo its final transformation.

Massive mental power mobilized Qi and blood to begin the strike; the first was the aperture located at the back of the head.

He carefully mobilized Qi and blood to strike.

"Boom!"

The next instant, intense stinging pain made his body tremble uncontrollably.

It was too painful!

Lin Qi did not expect the apertures in the head to be so painful, as if sharp needles were pricking his nerves.

"Hoo hoo~"

He began to adjust his breathing and strike, the intensity began to decrease, and he used techniques according to what was said in the manual.

"Buzz buzz!!"

After a moment, Lin Qi felt continuous stinging pain.

However, this pain was accompanied by healing, which suppressed it.

The cool feeling weakened the pain, allowing him to continuously strike the apertures.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Lin Qi endured the pain, feeling as if he were undergoing surgery, and he couldn't make a single mistake.

"Pfft!"

At a certain moment, a peculiar sound, accompanied by intense pain, and a special feeling of comfort surged into his heart.

Then came streams of heat, surging into the aperture.

101 whirlpools emerged; he had successfully opened 101 apertures!

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a stream of heat, Lin Qi opened his eyes, and the cells in his body instantly became active.

The cells began to transform, physical strength increased significantly, and power surged out continuously.

In an instant, Lin Qi had a feeling of lightness, as if detaching from his physical body, just like a soul leaving the body.

This feeling came quickly and went quickly.

Finally, it turned into a sense of power.

With endless power, Lin Qi could feel that his strength was increasing significantly.

Opening this aperture provided more improvement than opening 5 apertures.

Was this the stronger foundation?

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the time on the wall.

From start to finish, the whole process took him 8 hours.

【You took the new medicine—Divine Aperture Fluid, and amidst the pain, successfully opened the 101st aperture; your physical strength has increased significantly, Qi and blood value +100】

【Qi and blood value: 39200→39300】

……

Lin Qi looked at the increase in Qi and blood value on the panel; although the Qi and blood value only increased by 100.

But his physical fitness had solidly increased by a large margin.

"Beep!"

Then he opened his virtual bracelet and quickly logged into the universe virtual world.

……

In his personal space.

On the spacious martial arts training ground, Lin Qi's figure appeared out of thin air; he moved his body, and having just broken through, the virtual bracelet could also scan it immediately.

"Deep Blue!"

"I am here!"

The next instant, Deep Blue, wearing a tight suit and with exquisite features, appeared instantly.

"Help me set up a small mountain; I want to test my physical fitness."

Deep Blue nodded after hearing this: "Okay!"

"Boom!!"

The next instant, a huge mountain 10 meters high appeared in front of Lin Qi, its rough surface emitting a heavy aura.

"I should also test my current physical fitness."

"And the universe virtual world can test a martial artist's physical fitness."

Lin Qi clenched his fists, the veins on his arms bulged, his muscles tensed, his heart beat powerfully, and endless power surged forth.

Terrifying golden light was released from his body, three layers of golden patterns emerged, and sharpness was released.

Jin Di Gangjin flowed on his body.

Qi and blood surged wildly, the power of 101 apertures was vented, and his cells instantly boiled.

"Boom!!"

He punched out suddenly, like a planet unleashing terrifying power; his punch speed broke the sound barrier, rushing out like a rocket.

Carrying power, he struck fiercely, tearing the surrounding air.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by streaks of golden light, shrouded in punch energy, the moment his fist hit the mountain, huge cracks appeared and spread rapidly.

The entire mountain instantly exploded, turning into countless fragments of stone splashing out, mixed with a large amount of dust.

Deep Blue, who was beside him, projected a screen, displaying data—"2,600,000kg!"

After seeing the data, Lin Qi nodded secretly and said:

"2,600 tons of power!"

"Excluding the 5-fold combat power amplification, my real punch power should be 520 tons!!"

"Such power has completely surpassed ordinary Void Flight Realm martial artists!"

The power of Ninth Realm martial artists is between 250~1000 tons.

He had already surpassed half of them, and once he opened the remaining 7 apertures, his strength would be even stronger.

"Let's test the speed again!"

"Shoo shoo!!"

Lin Qi rushed out suddenly from where he stood, his body turning into golden lightning, shooting out from the spot, shuttling through the air; his speed had broken the sound barrier, erupting with bursts of sonic booms.

"Hoo hoo!!"

The wind whistled, and in a moment, he rushed to the edge of the training ground.

Deep Blue appeared beside him and projected a screen, on which a string of data appeared—"1200m/s"

After seeing the data, Lin Qi immediately revealed a smile.

His full-power eruption now, with the 【Golden Light】 ability, plus 5-fold amplitude, could already reach 3 times the speed of sound.

"As long as the universe wanted criminal I face is not at the peak of the Void Flight Realm, I have a chance to win."

Lin Qi felt the majestic power in his body, giving him great confidence.

Thinking of the universe wanted criminals, he felt pressure, but at the same time, his body was also extremely excited.

……

In the universe, in the solar system.

In the vacuum, a flying blade-shaped spaceship was rapidly approaching Earth.

Inside the spacious spaceship, in a conference room, countless men and women wearing combat suits of various colors, with sturdy bodies and powerful auras, gathered together.

At a glance, there were at least a hundred people.

On the high platform, 8 figures sat on intelligent seats; their auras were majestic, more powerful than the others, and their life levels were completely different.

They divided everyone into 8 small groups.

In everyone's line of sight, a large screen was projected, the content of which was a star map, representing the red dot of their spaceship, which was rapidly approaching the planet.

A burly man with green skin among the 8 stood up and said loudly:

"Everyone, we are less than a day away from the home planet of the Blue Star civilization!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately boiled over.

"Finally arriving; flying in the universe for months without being able to log into the universe virtual network, it's making me uncomfortable."

"I want to relax properly; I've seen the people of the Blue Star civilization, their beauties are truly fresh and lovely!"

"The taste must be quite good!"

"Me too, I also want to relax properly!"

"It's been several years since I last smelled the scent of blood!"

"Anyway, there is a trial planet; as long as I enter it, no one will be able to find me, and it's no problem to stay inside for a few hundred years."

Everyone discussed it; some wanted to enter Blue Star to vent, while others had clear goals, entering the trial planet to obtain resources, making it as noisy as a vegetable market.

Among the 8 Universe Second Realm martial artists, one man with a tall stature, black skin, a clear scar on his left eye, and a completely blind eye revealed a fierce aura, and he laughed loudly:

"After arriving at Blue Star tomorrow, everyone goes their own way; finally, I don't have to see your faces anymore."

"I'm going to seek my own opportunities."

A short, sturdy man with a large head sneered:

"We are universe wanted criminals in the first place; gathering together makes everyone uncomfortable."

"If it weren't for coming to Blue Star, I would have planned to kill you long ago!"

The one-eyed man sneered: "Me too!"

"Quiet!"

The burly green-skinned man shouted, and terrifying pressure erupted from his body, instantly making everyone quiet:

"According to the news received, the Blue Star civilization's planetary defense platform only has detection functions and no railguns installed!"

"So they already know we are coming, but they cannot kill us in the universe."

"Arriving at Blue Star tomorrow to attack, the Blue Star civilization has already prepared to kill us."

"Everyone disperse!"

"Since you agreed to come to Blue Star, then be mentally prepared; if you die, don't blame anyone!"

Everyone nodded; wealth is sought in danger, and as universe wanted criminals, they naturally understood this principle.

"Gu Ao, we naturally understand this principle!" said the one-eyed man.

Gu Ao nodded after hearing this; he understood that soon, the entire spaceship would undergo drastic changes.

……

Martial Arts Calendar Year 2049, January 28th, the fourth day of the Spring Festival.

On the night of the 27th, the entire Xia Guo was notified to take a holiday and stay at home without going out.

"Emergency notice: On January 28th, no one is allowed to go out; stay at home..."

Countless people were extremely puzzled after seeing the emergency notice.

"What happened? Suddenly notified not to go out!"

"I don't know, but since it says not to go out, then don't go out!"

"If something happens, I won't care!"

"……"

Many people stayed in their homes with uneasy and puzzled moods.

……

Cang Province, Tianhai City, Yujing Haoting Residential Area.

In Residence No. 5.

"Xiao Qi, what happened? Suddenly notified not to go out?"

In the living room, Lin Zhen asked curiously.

Lin Qi was wearing a black-gold combat suit at this time and explained:

"Universe wanted criminals have arrived, and there are many of them; once the war starts, I'm afraid of hurting innocent people..."

Lin Zhen nodded after hearing this: "I understand; I will tell the others not to go out."

"Be careful!"

Mom Fang Huiyi also urged.

Lin Qi smiled: "Dad, Mom, rest assured, with my current strength, the probability of my death is extremely low."

"I'm off!"

After speaking, he went out and came to the backyard, where he saw the pitch-black Falcon fighter jet parked in place.

"Xiao Chan!"

"Buzz!"

The blue metal sphere Xiao Chan beside him controlled the Falcon fighter jet to open the cabin door, and Lin Qi slowly entered it.

"Boom!!"

The fighter jet took off amidst a roar and began to accelerate toward the Imperial Capital.

Fang Huiyi said worriedly: "I hope Xiao Qi is okay!"

Lin Zhen comforted: "Don't worry, Xiao Qi is blessed by heaven; he has extraordinary luck and won't have any accidents."
