Chapter 111: Terrifying Body Constitution
Chapter 111: Terrifying Body Constitution (Seeking Monthly Votes)
Tianhai First High School, a secluded Martial Arts Training Hall
A clean-cut man in a white martial arts uniform wielded a silver goose-feather saber, practicing blade techniques with fluid precision.
"Hoo!"
Light as a swallow, his blade sliced through the air in a whirlwind of motion. In an instant, his strikes formed a dense net of steel, radiating lethal intent. Each slash kicked up violent gusts of wind.
"Clap! Clap!"
As the flurry ended, applause rang out from behind him.
"Qiu Feng, your blade techniques have sharpened. Breakthrough to the Second Stage’s initial phase?"
A muscular man with thick, powerful arms approached. This was Wang Qiufeng, the undisputed top student of Tianhai City, nicknamed the God of Wind.
Wang Qiufeng shook his head. "Still second-stage foundation. Need a little more." His voice turned confident. "Half a month will do."
The brawny man continued, "A genius named Lin Qi’s rising at Tianhai No.2 High School."
"They say he slaughtered fifteen Disaster Beasts in a single tide during the Beast Surge—stole the spotlight completely."
"My father says he’s top-tier talent. Not to be underestimated."
Wang Qiufeng glanced at his saber. "Chen Li before me, Lin Qi after… More geniuses emerging."
"I’ve no choice but to push harder."
"After the Monthly Assessment, I’ll reclaim first place in Cang Province."
"I believe in you, Qiu Feng", the muscular man nodded.

Egret City, a luxury villa’s martial arts hall
“Clang! Clang!”
Two figures clashed. One, towering over two meters, had muscles like forged steel—rigid, explosive power radiating from his frame.
With one hand, he swung a black greatsword over a meter long.
“Whoosh!”
Each strike carried the crushing force of a ten-thousand-ton thunderclap, cleaving air and sending shockwaves reverberating. His opponent, wielding a silver long spear, struggled to parry the relentless onslaught.
"Too weak! Too weak!!" the giant roared.
“Boom!!”
The greatsword crashed down, sending his foe flying several meters. Rising slowly, the spearman stared at the overwhelmingly dominant figure before him. Setting down his spear, he rubbed his aching, numb arms.
"Your 'Overlord Sword' title fits perfectly, Chen Li. Your strength’s over 1600 kilograms now, right?"
“Clang~”
Chen Li tossed the greatsword aside and chugged an energy tonic. His rugged features—sharp jawline, fierce eyes—embodied raw, unyielding power.
He grinned, revealing pearly whites. "Wrong. My punch force’s over 1700 kilograms now."
His opponent gaped. "Born with divine strength. Beyond human limits."
"Chen Li!"
"Another genius surfaced in Tianhai—Lin Qi. Fifteen Disaster Beasts slain in the Surge, just like you. First time in battle, too. Slightly inferior… but a future rival."
Chen Li didn’t flinch.
Snatching the greatsword, he tensed his arms. Veins throbbed as terrifying force gathered. With a sudden slash, he cleaved empty air.
“Boom!!”
A shrill whistling tore through the room, whipping up a cyclone.
"For me, only one path exists: surpassing others."
"No one surpasses me."
"In Cang Province, I’m the strongest."
"I’ll be the Abyssal Maw Martial Arts Gym’s sole S-Rank Genius this year."
"My goal? Top ten nationwide."
"Wang Qiufeng, Lin Qi… I don’t need their names."
His sparring partner chuckled. "Arrogant enough. A martial artist must have that 'sole sovereign' confidence."

Second day of school, Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion
Training Hall B123
Silence enveloped the room, broken only by fragrant incense.
At the center, Lin Qi sat cross-legged on a mat, spine straight as a sheathed blade. His hands formed the Five-Hearts-to-Sky Stance, and the air stirred around him, lifting the hem of his black uniform.
Calm as a still lake, not a ripple in his aura.
“Roar~”
In his consciousness, the colossal Golden Vajra Tiger roared skyward, claws slashing as if to rend the heavens. Its gaping maw inhaled endless primordial energy like a vacuum storm.
Lin Qi’s body felt icy cold as primordial particles seeped in—trickling at first, then surging like a torrent. His cells devoured the energy greedily, digesting it into his own, fueling his evolution.
His genome gradually refined itself.
Guiding the energy, Lin Qi merged it with his vitality, coursing through his body. His twelve major tendons—crucial to physical power—forged like steel cables. His back’s tendons thickened, stretching like reinforced girders.
He reveled in the surge of strength.
[You are cultivating. Body tendons tempered. Vital Energy Stat +0.2]
[Twelve major tendons enhanced. Vital Energy Stat +0.1]
...
[Vital Energy Stat +0.1]
After two hours, Lin Qi’s eyes snapped open—golden light flashing briefly before fading. The primordial energy dispersed.
He rose, joints cracking like pistol shots.
Checking his status panel:
[Cultivation complete. Vital Energy Stat +0.5]
[Vital Energy Stat: 16 → 16.5]
"Each session progresses faster than the First Realm", he mused, "but gains diminish compared to the initial surge. Maybe nearing stability."
He trained twice daily—two hours at dawn, two at night. The 24-hour-access Martial Arts Pavilion let him train at will.
"Haa!"
He exhaled, muscles brimming with energy. Post-cultivation, vitality surged, though mental fatigue demanded heavy consumption of revitalizing elixirs.
"Xiaochan, open training video!"
"Understood, Master."
The blue-robed Xiaochan projected the hologram. The white-robed elder reappeared, explaining the Golden Vajra Tiger Evolution Method’s techniques and requirements.
Lin Qi listened intently—many nuances demanded repeated study.
"The Golden Vajra Tiger is a supreme eighth-grade Disaster Beast, combining monstrous strength and speed into peerless combat prowess", the elder explained.
"Any genius mastering this method at the Second Realm’s peak will attain punch force exceeding 3000 kilograms and speed of 40m/s—terrifying stats."
Lin Qi’s heart pounded.
3000 kilograms of punch force… 45m/s speed? What kind of monster data is this?
