Chapter 633: Gangjin Upgrade! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

"Swish!"

The golden Rubik's cube shot out from Red Clothes' hand and entered Lin Qi's body.

The red-horned Red Clothes reminded him seriously: "According to the regulations of the Myriad Laws Pavilion, purchased secret manuals cannot be taught to anyone."

"Violators will be investigated!"

"Martial artist Lin Qi, the 'Jin Di Secret Canon' cultivated to perfection still has advanced cultivation methods, created by top-tier powerhouses of the Scorching Sun Elder Xing Yu, which can be connected to the cultivation of

"Looking forward to you coming again next time!"

Lin Qi nodded; he was also looking forward to the subsequent techniques, but next time he came, it would not be to the Myriad Laws Pavilion to purchase techniques.

Finally, he purchased the spear technique and movement technique manuals.

As for the cultivation techniques, he might enter a supreme force to choose better cultivation methods.

Then, Lin Qi returned directly to his personal space.

In his personal center, there was also an additional cultivation technique.

"It's a pity I can't let Xinghuo watch it; I can only watch it myself."

Lin Qi clicked on "Jin Di Secret Canon."

"Boom!"

A golden Rubik's cube jumped out from the screen, transforming into a golden cultivation manual before his eyes.

The entire manual was much thinner than he had imagined.

"Is it this thin because it only contains the Void-Traversing Chapter?"

Lin Qi thought to himself and began to flip through it.

Although he wanted to buy the entire manual in one go and read it from the beginning to make his martial path foundation even stronger.

But there was no time now; he would practice the Void-Traversing Chapter first. By comparing the two manuals, he might be able to rely on his own comprehension to reverse-engineer the rest.

And comprehend all the perfected parts.

This way, he might not need to spend money to buy the preceding parts.

Soon, his mind was immersed in browsing the manual.

"The Monster Race is a top-tier race in the entire universe; they possess powerful physical bodies, and through the observation of countless experts, their unique life maps were discovered."

"The more powerful the monster beast, the more complex its life map; based on their life maps, they condense their own unique source veins."

Lin Qi read halfway through and suddenly realized, gaining a rough idea of how to cultivate the entire technique.

The Monster Race's physical body relies on bloodline evolution, containing the power of nature.

That is the life map. Humans create source energy techniques based on life maps, breaking the shackles of life, evolving continuously, and mastering incredible power.

Of course, it is not just the Monster Race; other races also create techniques through observation.

And the Monster Race is the most suitable.

Lin Qi could now re-practice his Golden Gangjin based on the content of the technique.

Lin Qi put down the manual; he had already memorized all the content within it.

His brain's capability had improved once again, like a supercomputer.

Photographic memory was already considered the most basic.

During the process of reading, he had already been calculating in his mind.

Of course, brain operation and comprehension are two different things.

After memorizing it, he still had to rely on his comprehension to slowly grasp it.

So he put away the manual and exited the cosmic virtual world.

Relic No. 9, Virtual Room 06.

Lin Qi opened his eyes, and the content of the Void-Traversing Chapter he had just watched emerged in his mind.

"Lin Qi, have you finished purchasing the manual?"

Xinghuo also projected herself out again.

Lin Qi nodded and said, "I have already purchased the missing Void-Traversing Chapter of the 'Jin Di Secret Canon' from the Myriad Laws Pavilion!"

"This Void-Traversing Chapter alone cost me 2 million Deep Space Coins!"

Xinghuo was shocked: "So expensive!"

"This Myriad Laws Pavilion is truly despicable; this technique clearly belongs to our Starfire Civilization, yet they have the nerve to sell it so dearly."

Lin Qi introduced further: "They have perfected the 'Jin Di Secret Canon,' and its sophistication has been improved by a large margin!"

"It is already one of the highest-quality techniques in the entire Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu."

Xinghuo was surprised after hearing this: "Really, that impressive?"

"Then selling it so expensively is understandable."

"In our era, if you wanted to cultivate a top-tier technique, tens of millions of Deep Space Coins might not even be enough to learn it."

Lin Qi nodded; he sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing.

In his brain, the content of the Void-Traversing Chapter he had just watched emerged automatically.

"Boom!"

Dazzling golden light emerged from his body, and the golden Gangjin, like heavy liquid, flowed on the surface of his body.

His Jin Di Gangjin began to change continuously.

In the Void-Traversing Chapter, the old version of how the Jin Di Gangjin was condensed was described in detail.

In the old version, this manual was prepared for geniuses who had awakened two types of abilities.

But it was already very powerful.

However, it did not take into account the situation of galaxy-level geniuses.

After being collected by the Myriad Laws Pavilion, experts perfected it, turning it into a Gangjin designed specifically for galaxy-level geniuses.

The method of condensing the Gangjin within it had changed.

It had become more sophisticated.

So he immediately began to re-condense it.

"Hum hum!"

Lin Qi felt the three abilities within his body: 【Golden Sharpness】, 【Golden Light】, and 【Golden Steel】.

The three powers recombined with source energy to condense a brand-new Jin Di Gangjin.

As the Gangjin flowed within his body, Lin Qi could feel that they had become more agile and coordinated.

It was as if it had been reshaped.

The power increased by approximately 10%.

For someone at his level, a 10% increase in combat power makes a huge difference.

Not far away, Xinghuo watched the changes in the Gangjin on Lin Qi's body and couldn't help but exclaim:

"It is indeed more sophisticated, fully manifesting the extreme rigidity and extreme yang of the metal attribute."

"No wonder they dare to sell it so expensively!"

"Even the founder of the 'Jin Di Secret Canon' could not reach such a realm."

"Then if he re-practices the Gangjin, what kind of increase in strength will Lin Qi receive?"

Xinghuo shook her head; Lin Qi was already strong enough, and now he was going to become even stronger.

She could no longer imagine just how powerful Lin Qi would be in the future.

And on Lin Qi's side, he also began to carry out a deep-level re-cultivation of his Gangjin.

The previous method of condensing Gangjin was only the most basic.

And the more advanced method of condensation was like the method of forging divine weapons.

At the same time, it was also more complex.

It required mobilizing the power of the source veins and digging deeper into the power of metal.

"Metal, the natural force in the universe, is one of the basic elements that construct all things in the world."

"It is one of the natural laws; to become stronger, one needs to dig out the power of metal."

Lin Qi released his mental power to observe the golden patterns on his body.

Ever since they were born, he had never observed them properly.

Nor did he understand what kind of content they contained.

But in the Void-Traversing Realm, it was recorded that the patterns on the body were also a part of the Gangjin.

Following a specific trajectory, they allowed the abilities to naturally integrate into them.

Digging out brand-new power.

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi adjusted his breathing, and before he knew it, he was completely immersed in his cultivation.

The patterns on his body were like flowing water, having their own movement trajectories.

He mobilized the three abilities to fit the movement of the trajectories, then let the power of the source veins integrate into them.

This day.

A brand-new power surged from within his body, and the three powers fused once again.

Mellow, natural, coordinated, and unified...

"Hum hum!"

A newly born Gangjin surged from within his body, sharp and domineering.

The Gangjin flowed to every corner of his body, then released outside his body, circling around him.

The Gangjin had texture, dense and sharp, like a suit of golden battle armor.

Lin Qi opened his eyes and raised his hand; he saw the Gangjin like flowing liquid metal, under his control, condensing on the surface of his body.

They seemed to have a physical form, emitting an astonishing sharpness.

"Sure enough, the quality has become better, and it is heavier!"

Lin Qi activated 【Golden Pupil】, able to clearly feel the flow of the new Gangjin.

The structure of the Gangjin had become more complex, possessing stronger metal power.

At the same time, Xinghuo, dressed in red, projected herself again and smiled:

"Congratulations on successfully completing the upgrade of your Gangjin!"

"And you only used 3 days to complete the upgrade; an ordinary galaxy-level genius might need more than a month to succeed."

"Your talent is truly enviable!"

"Your combat power now has likely received a significant increase."

Lin Qi nodded; he already felt that he was now far stronger than before the breakthrough.

He could easily defeat 10 of himself from before the breakthrough.

He slowly stood up, feeling the power within his body, unable to wait to vent it.

"I need to test my strength."

Xinghuo spoke up: "You can go to the Cosmic Martial Arena!"

"Now that you are already a Void-Traversing Realm martial artist, the opponents you match with are all Void-Traversing Realm martial artists, which can very well test your strength."

Lin Qi nodded; that was what he thought as well.

"Beep!"

He opened his virtual bracelet and logged into the cosmic virtual network world.

In his personal space, Lin Qi appeared on the martial arts field again.

The next instant, a long spear appeared in his hand.

"Shoo shoo!!"

The long spear thrust out, instantly piercing the air and stirring up gusts of fierce wind.

"Too light!"

Lin Qi shook his head and chose to increase the weight of the great spear, continuing to increase it until it reached 150 tons before stopping.

"That's enough; any heavier and it will affect my attack speed!"

Lin Qi brandished the black great spear, feeling that this weight could very well unleash his strength.

He chose to enter the Cosmic Martial Arena; in his personal center, his identity information had also undergone a huge change.

【Yang Jian, since it has been detected that you have broken through to the Void-Traversing Realm, all your information has changed!】

【Based on your existing battle record, your combat power and ranking have been re-evaluated!】

【Nickname: Yang Jian】

【Competition Zone: Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu】

【Realm: Universe First Realm Void-Traversing】

【Win Rate: 99.5% (3980 wins, 20 losses)】

【Wu Dou Power: 5 stars】

【Milky Way Ranking: 150】

【Triangulum Galaxy Ranking: 1.25 million】

【Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu Ranking: 91 million】

After seeing the brand-new ranking, Lin Qi couldn't help but shake his head.

Over the previous three months, he had managed to break into the top 10,000 in the Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu while in the Aperture-Opening Realm.

As a result, after breaking through to the Void-Traversing Realm now, his ranking had instead regressed significantly.

However, he didn't care too much; he would fight his way up sooner or later.

From today on, the opponents he matched with would all be Void-Traversing Realm martial artists.

【Start matching!】

【Match successful!】

The moment the match was successful, Lin Qi's figure disappeared from where he stood.

This was an endless wasteland planet, with weeds, withered branches, and rotten leaves—a scene of desolation.

The next instant, a figure emerged.

This was a beautiful woman with a tall, hot figure, white skin, exquisite features, and wearing green battle armor.

She had a pair of deep green pupils, and her whole body radiated vigorous life force.

Rouyu looked at the surrounding environment and shook her head secretly; she did not like this kind of environment.

On the big screen in the sky, countless bullet comments were also refreshing.

"Goddess Rouyu has started matching again!"

"The Deep Space Genius Competition is getting closer and closer, and more and more geniuses from major forces are entering the Cosmic"

"Martial Arena to hone their martial arts skills."

"Goddess Rouyu comes from the Yuhua Galaxy; the comprehensive strength of this galaxy ranks in the top ten of the Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu."

"The top force within it, Yuhua Mountain, possesses the top geniuses of the entire galaxy, and Rouyu is a galaxy-level genius from among them."

"Now that she has broken through to the Void-Traversing Realm, she is becoming stronger and stronger; she will surely achieve a good ranking in the Deep Space Genius Competition."

Just as everyone was discussing, opposite Rouyu, a tall figure emerged; the opponent wore a black mask, dressed in black-gold battle armor, and held a black-gold great spear in one hand.

His whole body radiated a domineering aura.

After seeing the opponent's information, Rouyu instantly frowned.

"5-star combat power with a 99.5% win rate; could it be a genius who just broke through?"

"This is interesting; before, I was always matching with veteran Void-Traversing Realm martial artists."

"This time, I finally got to match with a genius."

"I wonder how the strength of geniuses in other places outside of Yuhua Mountain compares."

And at this time, the bullet comments were refreshing rapidly.

"Yang Jian has broken through; he is already in the Void-Traversing Realm now!"

"Is this the cultivation speed of a top-tier genius?"

"How long has it been since he broke through?"

"There's a good show to watch; the opponent is Rouyu, and I've been watching her battles recently."

"She is an extremely strong Void-Traversing Realm genius, and Yang Jian just broke through and already matched with Rouyu."

"He is in trouble now!"

After Lin Qi appeared, he also saw the simple information of his opponent.

【Nickname: Rouyu】

【Win Rate: 98%】

【Wu Dou Power: 6 stars】

After Lin Qi finished reading the information, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly; it seemed he had matched with a genius.

Only galaxy-level geniuses can maintain an extremely high win rate in the Void-Traversing Realm.

And he was lucky; in his first match after breaking through, he matched with a galaxy-level genius as well.

【Countdown:... 3, 2, 1】

【The competition officially begins!】

The two did not speak, quietly waiting for the announcement from the intelligent voice.

"Shoo~"

Green light bloomed from Rouyu's body; the next instant, the green battle armor on her body changed abruptly, and green leaves resembling scales emerged.

"Shoo shoo shoo!!"

The next instant, these green leaves resembling scales shot out like flying knives.

There were 30 green leaves in total, shooting out from different directions.

The green leaf flying knives pierced the air, wrapped in green Gangjin, without obstruction, tearing through the air.

The speed was incredibly fast, not inferior at all to the blades of a mental master.

Lin Qi felt the danger, his whole body erupted with golden light, and the brand-new Jin Di Gangjin instantly surged out, condensing into spear Gang in the air.

Like golden great spears piercing through the air and shooting out.

"Bang bang bang!!"

In the air, the spear Gang collided with the green leaves, the air exploded, and instantly the green leaf flying knives shattered, turning into countless fragments scattered in the sky.

"What?"

Rouyu's expression changed slightly.

"My leaf blades were actually all blocked?"

Genius martial artists who awaken the wood attribute mostly choose to carry plant life.

This is a type of life form among the myriad races of the universe, and they have unique combat methods.

Once they recognize a master, they can coordinate with the master in battle.

They are considered a type of weapon.

And her leaf blades, appearing like green leaves, can shoot out like flying knives, and under the reinforcement of Gangjin, their power is extremely strong.

They are more powerful than condensed Gangjin and slightly weaker than flying knife weapons.

In previous battles, once her leaf blades shot out, those with weaker strength would be severely injured, and those with stronger strength would also be hindered significantly.

But today, the opponent he encountered actually blocked her leaf blades with just Gangjin.

What kind of strength is this?

Rouyu felt heavy pressure; looking at Yang Jian opposite her, she felt as if she were facing the top geniuses in Yuhua Mountain.

"Shoo~"

Her figure instantly disappeared from where she stood, and green leaf flying knives shot out from her body again.

The leaf blade organism can quickly grow green leaf flying knives; as long as her source energy is sufficient, she can keep launching attacks.

She brandished her battle sword, green Gangjin surged out, and at the moment of collision, her battle sword also struck like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

The sharp sword tip stabbed toward Lin Qi's eyes.

"Boom!"

Golden Gangjin erupted, and all the movements in the surrounding air appeared clearly in Lin Qi's perception.

In his eyes, Rouyu's movements slowed down continuously; every detail, the flow of Gangjin, and the trajectory of the sword technique were exceptionally clear.

If he hadn't broken through, he couldn't have seen it so clearly.

Facing Rouyu, the probability of him winning would have been very low.

It was highly probable he would have been killed by her.

But now, it was completely different.

"Hum hum!!"

The spear body vibrated, and Gangjin was injected into the great spear, as if it had merged into one with his own body.

His great spear suddenly thrust upward, precisely colliding with Rouyu's battle sword in the air.

"Bang!"

The weapons met, emitting an explosive sound, Gangjin clashing against Gangjin!

The terrifying impact force formed an energy storm.

Rouyu's expression changed drastically; her surprise attack was actually blocked so easily.

Of course, this was only secondary.

Because she felt a domineering force, like a steel hammer smashing into her body.

The vibration force made her body unable to bear the burden.

The Gangjin on her body was also instantly shattered!

"Puff~"

Her body was instantly blasted back, spraying blood in the air.

"Bang!"

Rouyu smashed into the earth like a meteor, erupting with a deafening sound.

"How is this possible?"

Rouyu found it hard to believe; she was a galaxy-level genius who had awakened three abilities.

And she was a Void-Traversing Realm martial artist.

She was actually severely injured in one move by an opponent who had just broken through?

And Lin Qi was also quite pleasantly surprised.

Feeling the power surging within his body, especially the source veins, which allowed the majestic Gangjin to condense and reinforce his body.

At the same time, he was very satisfied with the power of the Gangjin.

One move was enough to severely injure a galaxy-level genius.

The gap between galaxy-level geniuses is also exceptionally large.

Some can only stay at the fourth gate of Lieyang Mountain, while some can enter the fifth gate.

And he could break into the sixth gate.

Or rather, he was not a galaxy-level genius; he was a genius of a higher level.

Geniuses with special constitutions are also called Elder Elder Xing Yu-level geniuses.

In every star domain, they are also extremely rare existences.

"Shoo~"

Lin Qi turned into a bolt of lightning and shot out the moment Rouyu stood up.

A cold light flashed before her eyes, and then her chest was pierced by the spear tip.

The tough leaf blades on her body did not block his attack either.

"Puff~"

The moment the blood splattered, Rouyu dissipated into nothingness.

【Battle ended, Yang Jian wins!】
