Chapter 649

In the Triangulum race virtual world, thousands of Triangulum race geniuses, including Feng Hao, gathered together.

At this time, the burly Molong, who had ink-colored horns on his head, asked in confusion:

"Why be so friendly to the people of the Blue Star Civilization? They are just geniuses from a small civilization."

"Especially that Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing; they are also in the Top 16, but I could easily defeat them."

Luolin, who had blood-colored horns on his head, snorted coldly:

"What do you know? Their talent is much stronger than you imagine."

"I checked over the last two days; they are all top geniuses on the Mount Lieyang Ranking in the Mount Lieyang Dao Academy."

"They only broke through to the Sky-Gazing Realm two years ago, and they have such strength even after condensing at most three source veins!"

"Their talent is not a bit inferior to ours!"

"Once they condense 8 source veins, it will be very difficult for us to win."

"Our only advantage is that we have condensed a few more source veins."

Other geniuses started discussing it after hearing this, with Luoyun and Molun having the most say.

"So exaggerated? They have such strength after condensing only 3 source veins!"

"It's hard to imagine; the number of geniuses in the Mount Lieyang Dao Academy is much larger than our Triangulum race."

"Lin Qi and Li Ren are also the top among them!"

Molong was now sweating profusely, feeling the heavy pressure.

Feng Hao, who had golden horns on his head, spoke up at this time:

"They are all geniuses, no weaker than the geniuses from top forces like the Ten Thousand Seas Society, Feathering Mountain, or Mount Lieyang Star."

"Making friends might be helpful in the second round."

Everyone nodded; in the second round, there would be no ordinary Sky-Gazing Realm martial artists.

They were all geniuses!

Even geniuses at the level of Haofeng and Luolin could not guarantee that they would 100% enter the Top 10,000.

In the Blue Star virtual world, in a conference room, the 50 Sky-Gazing Realm martial artists who entered the Top 1,000 had all logged on.

Sitting in the center position was the Red Emperor in a white robe, his aura becoming even more unfathomable.

He smiled and said:

"The first round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament has now officially ended!"

"Congratulations to everyone for successfully entering the second round!"

"This time, our Blue Star is the biggest winner in the Triangulum Galaxy!"

"Clap, clap!!"

After saying this, he took the lead in applauding, and others followed suit.

After the applause, the Red Emperor continued:

"After the first round ends, we have three months to raise our strength to the next level."

"Furthermore, according to the rules, the second round will last for quite a long time, and it will also be the longest of the three rounds."

"If we are lucky, we will have plenty of time for cultivation."

"I hope that more people from our Blue Star Civilization can enter the Top 10,000."

"Especially those who entered the Top 16; if your strength can improve further, you will have a greater probability of entering the Top 10,000."

Sun Sheng couldn't help but speak up: "Three months is enough for me to condense a fourth source vein."

"If the second round lasts for two or three years, I might be able to condense six or seven source veins, and entering the third round will be effortless."

The War God in the black robe also spoke up:

"Most geniuses have had a very short cultivation time and still have a lot of room for improvement."

"Although I have broken through to the sixth-stage technique, there is still room for improvement."

Others nodded; as long as there is time, everyone has room for improvement.

The Red Emperor looked at Lin Qi; among everyone, Lin Qi had the strongest talent.

He might be able to condense nine source veins, and once he reaches that, he will be among the very top of all Sky-Gazing Realm geniuses of the human race.

"Everyone's time is precious; meeting adjourned!"

In Tianhai City, Residence No. 5, inside a martial arts room.

"Hum!"

Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes, took out his phone, and checked his messages.

Sure enough, he saw the latest message.

【Lin Qi of the Blue Star Civilization, congratulations on ranking in the Top 16 in the first round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament; you will receive a reward of 3 million Deep Space Coins.】

【Deep Space Coins +3 million!】

Seeing the 3 million Deep Space Coins arrive, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Qi's mouth.

The reward had finally arrived, and he immediately opened the House of War to search for Source Energy Crystals.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately placed an order for three Source Energy Crystals.

【Beep!】

【You have paid 3 million Deep Space Coins!】

【The items you purchased are too precious; please go to the headquarters of the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion to collect them!】

Seeing the message, Lin Qi nodded secretly.

"With three Source Energy Crystals, I have the confidence to condense a fifth source vein!"

"Three months is enough!"

Lin Qi slowly stood up; he had been cultivating continuously for three days, and while his body had been cultivating on its own and absorbing source energy, the improvement was there.

However, the effect was not very obvious.

It was far less effective than the effect brought by a Source Energy Crystal.

The next day, at the headquarters of the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion.

In the Mansion Master's office on the top floor, Lin Qi sat on the sofa and received a silver metal box from Director Yi.

He opened the box and confirmed that there were three Source Energy Crystals inside.

Then he put them into his space bracelet.

Director Yi smiled and said: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going!"

After saying this, he turned and left.

Only Lin Qi and the Red Emperor were left in the office!

The Red Emperor handed Lin Qi a cup of hot tea and said:

"The first round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament went much better than we imagined, and the number of geniuses was fewer than expected."

"Our Blue Star's record is astonishing, with 7 people in the Top 16; I estimate other civilizations are shocked!"

"They are likely curious about our Blue Star or want to study our civilization."

"However, we are currently in the middle of the Deep Space Genius Tournament, and with the Deep Space Academy watching, they won't make a move against our Blue Star!"

Lin Qi nodded; their Blue Star Civilization was in the spotlight this time, and at the same time, a crisis had arrived uninvited.

The Red Emperor continued: "With your talent, having Source Energy Crystals, three months is enough for you to condense another source vein."

"With your strength, the probability of entering the Top 10,000 will be greater."

"But it's still not safe; in the upcoming second round, there will be more and more geniuses who have cultivated to the peak at the galaxy level."

"If you are not careful, you will be eliminated, so you still need to condense more source veins."

Lin Qi sipped the hot tea and nodded; in the next two rounds, his strength would not be enough.

He had to become even stronger.

Then the Red Emperor continued:

"I watched your battles; your martial arts technique has already reached the fifth stage at 99%."

"The next step is to comprehend the power of the laws from your spear technique."

"You have a metal affinity, so you need to comprehend the Law of Metal."

"But breaking through is not easy; I myself was stuck for several years before breaking through."

Lin Qi asked curiously:

"Mansion Master, is there any way to break through to the sixth stage faster?"

The Red Emperor shook his head after hearing this:

"There are ways to break through faster, of course!"

"For example, various heavenly treasures and potions!"

"For example, the Blood Vine Potion given by Dean Yaochen, which greatly improves comprehension."

"There is also battling against experts who have comprehended the corresponding laws to feel the power of the laws at close range."

"And in the cosmic virtual world, establishing a world full of metal rules to provide insight."

"However, the price to enter such a world-level place is expensive; you'd be better off using it to buy Source Energy Crystals for cultivation."

"Our Blue Star Civilization is too poor!"

"We can only use the clumsy method, which is constant accumulation!"

"Hone your spear technique through actual combat and comprehend the power of the laws."

"Until one day, you suddenly comprehend it!"

"That's what I did before."

"However, this method requires a considerable amount of time; you have the Blood Vine Potion, so this process can be greatly shortened."

Lin Qi nodded; everyone knew this method, and he intended to do the same.

In the cosmic martial arts arena, he would constantly battle others to hone his spear technique.

The Red Emperor continued: "Of course, there is another way, which is accumulation!"

"By watching metal-affinity secret manuals, you can understand the laws and a bit of their essence."

"I once watched all the weapon secret manuals of Blue Star, constantly accumulating knowledge, and finally succeeded in breaking through to the sixth-stage technique and comprehending the Law of Fire."

"By browsing a large number of secret manuals, even if you don't cultivate them, you should know the application of natural forces within them, lay a foundation, and comprehend the power of the laws from them."

"As the saying goes, read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will reveal itself!"

"You can use the Wan Fage to watch a large number of metal-affinity spear technique secret manuals in a targeted manner."

"The vast ocean of secret manuals inside is enough to greatly increase your accumulation and significantly shorten the time needed for accumulation."

Lin Qi smiled bitterly after hearing this:

"The secret manuals in the Wan Fage are not cheap; I have no money left now."

The Red Emperor said: "Then there's no way; if the Wan Fage doesn't work, then settle for the next best thing and observe our Blue Star's secret manuals."

"Anyway, our Blue Star's secret manuals aren't expensive!"

"And the support from the Flowing Blade Civilization also includes martial arts, selling us a large number of cultivation secret manuals."

Lin Qi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he nodded: "Good idea!"

When he bought secret manuals before, because he didn't have much money, the secret manuals he cultivated were all passed down through one lineage.

He hadn't really watched other secret manuals, so his accumulation for spear technique was indeed insufficient.

The Red Emperor explained: "To reach the sixth-stage technique, you have to start comprehending the power of the laws, and the requirements for a martial artist's accumulation are very high."

"Having comprehension alone is not enough; you also need accumulation!"

"The deeper your accumulation, the more advantageous your future comprehension of the laws will be."

"This includes your understanding of the world and your comprehension of the laws; the deeper your accumulation, the more likely you are to secretly absorb nourishment and comprehend more laws."

"This is something every martial artist must do when they reach this step."

Lin Qi nodded and said: "I understand; thank you for your guidance, Mansion Master."

A moment later, Lin Qi left.

The Red Emperor put away the teacup, stood up, walked to the window, and talked to himself:

"Lin Qi and the others need time to cultivate, and I am no different!"

"The second cosmic realm is already another level; if you want to make a breakthrough, you need time!"

"Compared to other powerhouses in the second cosmic realm, I don't have much of an advantage."

"After the three rounds of selection for the Sky-Gazing Realm are over, it will be the turn of the second cosmic realm."

After talking to himself for a while, he turned and entered the martial arts room to start cultivating.

In Tianhai City, Residence No. 5, inside the martial arts room.

"Xiao Chan, open the Red Dome Home!"

"Okay, Master!"

Xiao Chan, wearing blue clothes, projected a screen and opened the Red Dome Home.

Lin Qi sat cross-legged, looking at the Red Dome Home; he hadn't logged in for a long time.

He usually used the House of War!

He entered the 【Cultivation Method】 module, and after entering, he found that the number of secret manuals had increased significantly.

"Sure enough, the number of secret manuals has increased significantly!"

Lin Qi browsed through them.

The support from the Flowing Blade Civilization also included martial arts, bringing a large number of low-level martial arts secret manuals.

High-level secret manuals could be purchased and cultivated in the Wan Fage.

And low-level secret manuals were everywhere, and the Flowing Blade Civilization also sold a large batch to their Blue Star.

The price wasn't expensive because they were all low-level secret manuals.

Throughout the human race, they were sold everywhere.

Various cultivation secret manuals had increased significantly, and there were more secret manuals to choose from.

For the entire civilization, this was a great thing.

Lin Qi simply searched for 【Spear Technique】 -> 【Metal】

In an instant, a large number of spear technique secret manuals appeared; among low-level spear techniques, the original Blue Star did not have clear attributes.

They were only divided by styles such as rigid and domineering, swift, defensive, and ghostly.

But after a large number of secret manuals from the Flowing Blade Civilization were added to the library, there was a division of attributes.

Almost in the lowest-level advanced spear techniques, there was a division of attributes, and at the same time, after the attributes, styles such as speed, power, and defense were subdivided.

Lin Qi looked at the number of secret manuals retrieved and gasped.

Because there were 200,000 types of metal-affinity spear technique secret manuals.

He remembered that when he looked before, all the spear technique secret manuals only numbered in the thousands, which was already enough.

And now, just the metal-affinity spear technique secret manuals numbered 200,000.

Lin Qi started searching from the most basic ones.

"Flowing Silver Spear Technique," "Golden Spear Technique," "Nine Peaks Spear Technique," "Armor-Piercing Spear Technique"...

Each metal-affinity spear technique secret manual, some were a single volume.

Some were passed down through a lineage, constantly advancing, from the most basic to the part about artistic conception.

And the prices ranged from expensive to cheap.

He glanced at his balance, which was close to hundreds of billions of Xia Guo coins, plus his status as an SSS-level genius.

It was enough to buy all the spear technique secret manuals.

He started from the most basic "Flowing Silver Spear Technique," "Golden Spear Technique," "Nine Peaks Spear Technique," "Armor-Piercing Spear Technique."

These were the most exquisite among the spear technique secret manuals given by the Flowing Blade Civilization; in Blue Star's terms, they were all five-star secret manuals.

【Beep!】

【Payment successful, 30 billion Xia Guo coins paid!】

【The "Flowing Silver Spear Technique," "Golden Spear Technique," etc., you purchased have been placed in your personal center in electronic version, and the paper version...】

After quickly finishing the purchase, he chose the electronic version; he didn't need the paper version.

Then he entered his personal center, and 555 metal-affinity spear techniques appeared densely, all of which were boutique quality, costing him 30 billion Xia Guo coins.

Clicking on the electronic version, a large number of pictures and text appeared in front of him.

Lin Qi took out his long spear and started practicing in the martial arts room.

"Whoosh, whoosh!!"

Mercury pouring onto the ground!

Mirror flower reflecting shadow!

Condensing the edge into a needle!

As the spear technique was performed, insights emerged in Lin Qi's mind.

After performing it a few times, all the key points and moves of the "Flowing Silver Spear Technique" were fully comprehended, and his understanding of the spear technique reached perfection.

Accumulation +1

Lin Qi nodded secretly; although with his realm, cultivating the "Flowing Silver Spear Technique" and comprehending it instantly was too simple, it deepened his accumulation.

Then he looked at the next one, the "Golden Spear Technique."

Thunder sound, ten thousand ravines, armor-shattering, iron wall...

It contained different ways of generating force and combat concepts, and these concepts all contained the founder's understanding of the Law of Metal.

In the process of cultivation, he was also learning the founder's concepts.

His understanding of the Law of Metal was constantly deepening, and his accumulation was constantly increasing.

Lin Qi was in a pleasant mood, his brain was running fast, and new insights were constantly surging into his mind.

He thought his fifth-stage 99% spear technique was very close to the sixth stage.

But the 1% progress was like a chasm, still far away.

He had a premonition that when he finished cultivating all 555 metal-affinity spear technique secret manuals.

His accumulation would be enough, and it would also be the opportunity for him to break through to the sixth stage.

Thinking of this, he started cultivating the "Golden Spear Technique" again.

The spear shaft vibrated at a high frequency, which could catch opponents off guard.

In the virtual world of the Mount Lieyang Branch of Deep Space, on the top floor of the towering blue giant tower.

In the director's office.

In the spacious space, Envoy Tu Lan, with exquisite features, lay leisurely on the smart chair.

A large amount of data was projected in front of her, and with a wave of her jade hand, the data would switch.

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she said:

"Now that the Deep Space Genius Tournament has ended, the most surprising thing is the Blue Star Civilization."

"In terms of the number of top geniuses, they are actually on par with the Triangulum Civilization."

"And this is without counting Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin; these two are also top geniuses, and once they condense a few more source veins, they will be even more powerful than the Triangulum Civilization."

"The Triangulum Civilization will probably make a move against the Blue Star Civilization."

"They won't!"

A voice came from beside her; the person who arrived had a tall posture, an elegant temperament, and was wearing a blue uniform; it was Director Director Xi Yuan.

His eyes radiated a deep luster, and his voice revealed unparalleled confidence.

"I just warned the Triangulum Civilization; if they dare to make a move against the Blue Star Civilization, don't blame me."

Envoy Tu Lan was shocked; she had almost forgotten that the director was a powerhouse in the fifth cosmic realm.

Within the entire human race, he was also a high-level official and a powerhouse, and he was also the strongest in various star territories.

Even the strongest of the Triangulum race was only a fifth cosmic realm existence.

Envoy Tu Lan nodded: "The rise of the Blue Star Civilization can no longer be stopped."

"I investigated the Blue Star Civilization for three years and carefully studied their civilization and history."

"I found that this civilization is very peculiar; although they have never been in contact with the universe, they have descriptions of the demon race."

"Although the names are different, the appearances are very similar."

"Especially the 【Dragon Race】."

"Thus, their bloodline is very unusual."

"And there are traces of the Zerg race; a Zerg Queen once stayed on Blue Star, looking for something."

Director Director Xi Yuan nodded after hearing this: "It seems the Blue Star Civilization does have secrets."

"No wonder they can give birth to so many geniuses."

"Such peculiar planet civilizations are not rare in the entire human race."

"Or rather, those star territory civilizations now, when they were still planets, already showed extraordinary qualities."

Envoy Tu Lan asked curiously:

"Do you mean to say that the Blue Star Civilization has the potential to grow into a star territory civilization?"

Director Xi Yuan smiled: "That's natural; after all, they are a certified high-level civilization potential."

"The second round is very long; perhaps we can also provide a little help."
