Chapter 238: "Golden Vajra Transformation" (Requesting Monthly Vote)
"Phew~"
Lin Qi gripped the 700-kilogram Black Long Spear, swinging it with visible effort. His spear danced through dazzling arcs—from the Meteoric Spear Art to the Adamantine Body Spear Techniques, finally returning to the foundational Split Mountain Spear Art.
Every motion had become second nature. He could execute them flawlessly, eyes closed, like flowing water.
Yet his body grew increasingly heavy, every muscle and fiber rebelling against the omnipresent gravitational pull.
Pushing himself to the brink, he ignited the primal instincts buried deep within his cells.
His genes trembled on the edge of transformation, an unknown power gestating within—on the verge of breaking free.
Just a little further!
Lin Qi trusted his instincts. He could feel it—the Minor Divine Ability was within reach.
Fatigue and pain gnawed at him, but he clenched his teeth, refusing to yield. He knew: one misstep would erase everything. Even if he succeeded later, he’d regret this moment.
"Boom!!"
Time blurred. Within his Consciousness Realm, the golden vajra tiger he’d visualized roared to life, its colossal form towering and majestic.
"Roar~"
Its blazing eyes, twin suns, snapped open as it unleashed a thunderous roar.
In an instant, an invisible surge of power erupted from Lin Qi. His body convulsed, undergoing a metamorphosis—muscles contorting like jagged cliffs during an earthquake, bones groaning under the strain. A primal force surged through his veins as his Primordial Energy ignited, spiraling along predestined pathways like rivers carving new canyons through his flesh, every cell pulsating with renewed vitality.
"Boom!!"
Heat!
A searing inferno engulfed him, igniting every nerve. His genes exploded in transformation, golden light racing through his veins, permeating every corner of his being.
His senses shattered their limits. He perceived golden runes erupting in his mind, a tidal wave of power crashing through him.
His body quaked uncontrollably. His heart pounded like war drums; his blood roared like rivers bursting their dams.
Vital Energy surged, warping the air around him. Strength flooded his limbs. His eyes blazed with golden light, muscles swelling, his frame growing broader. Faint golden markings wove through his flesh, his skin radiating heat as he defied the crushing gravity.
"Crack!"
He clenched his fist, power erupting. Bones and sinews sang in harmony. The 700-kilogram spear felt weightless.
"Never before have I felt this strong!"
A single punch could shatter mountains!
"Boom!!"
He swung his fist, unleashing a vortex of white-hot energy, a shockwave of compressed air.
Eyes alight with triumph, Lin Qi’s Status Panel flickered with notifications:
[In the 7x Gravity Ring Realm, your body has unlocked its full potential. Minor Divine Ability "Golden Vajra Transformation" reached 100%]
[Minor Divine Ability mastered. Physical transformation achieved. Vital Energy Stat surpassed. Vital Energy Stat +2]
[Spear Techniques improved in 7x Gravity Ring Realm. Spear Techniques +2%]
[Training complete. Template Fusion Rate +1%]
[Template: Erlang Deity·Yang Jian]
[Fusion Rate: 18.6% → 19.6%]
[Vital Energy Stat: 66.3 → 68.3]
[Spear Techniques: 3rd Tier 11% → 3rd Tier 13%]
...
Lin Qi grinned.
Tonight’s gains were staggering.
His Body Techniques had surpassed Tier 3, significantly boosting his combat power. The Template Fusion Rate had jumped 1%. His Vital Energy had surged by two points thanks to absorbing Primordial Energy, now closing in on 70.
But the greatest prize was the Minor Divine Ability "Golden Vajra Transformation".
The gravitational pressure dissipated, yet his power swelled further. The Status Panel detailed the ability:
[Golden Vajra Transformation: A Minor Divine Ability derived from the 8th-tier Disaster Beast, the Golden Vajra Tiger, through the Golden Vajra Tiger Evolution Method.]
[Effect: Temporarily erupts the body’s constitution and neural reactions. Boosts strength and speed exponentially. Duration: 1-3 minutes. Combat power increases dramatically.]
...
His eyes gleamed. He recalled Master Jia Hui’s words: Disaster Beasts unleash their full potential in life-or-death battles.
Every point of Body Constitution he gained now meant exponential combat growth. Even a 0.1-second increase in speed could mean victory.
"Though it lasts only 1-3 minutes, it’s more than enough to end a fight."
The Golden Vajra Tiger Evolution Method had already granted him an edge over peers. Now, with this boost, a punch could exceed 5,000 kilograms. He could fight opponents beyond his tier.
"I finally have my trump card. Even the Ten Institute prodigies with Special Abilities won’t intimidate me."
"This year’s national championship is mine!!"
He clenched his fist, confidence surging. The pressure from the Ten Institute vanished.
But the next second, exhaustion crashed over him. His body felt hollowed, as if his marrow had been drained.
Collapsing to the floor, he gasped for breath, sweat dripping. His face paled; his limbs felt leaden.
The toll was brutal—training in 7x gravity, then mastering a Minor Divine Ability.
He staggered to a table, uncorked a flask of Energy Brew, and drank deeply. A vial of Intermediate Restorative Elixir followed—prepped for emergencies.
Minutes later, in the Gravity Chamber shower room.
"Whoosh!"
Steam filled the vast bathroom as hot water cascaded over him. Strength returned, weakness fading. Only lingering soreness remained.
Before the mirror, he noticed a change: a faint, geometric marking on his chest—triangular, yet five-sided, unlike any symbol he knew. Delicate markings extended outward, finer than silk threads.
"So, even my body bears a mark from the Minor Divine Ability."
He tightened his fist. Tomorrow’s final battle awaited.
...
Martial Dao Calendar 2046, November 29.
Azure Firmament Six Colleges, Villa No. 01.
In the living room, Lin Qi devoured a Nutritional Meal, emptying four white containers.
"Phew."
Setting down the empty box, he stood, energy returning.
"Using the Minor Divine Ability drained me. Took two vials of Intermediate Restorative Elixirs and all this food to recover 80%."
"This ability’s for emergencies only."
He returned to the Martial Arts Training Hall, entered the Neural Pod, and logged into the national freshman competition.
"Brother Qi!"
Audience chatter erupted as Lin Qi materialized in the stadium. Sixth Institute spectators waved.
He nodded, eyes fixed on the arena. At 8:30, Xu Wenji’s projection appeared.
"Everyone!"
"After four days, we’ve reached the 7th Round of the National Freshman Championship!"
"Today decides the final champion!"
"Round 7: 68 competitors will narrow to 34, each earning 5 million Xia Kingdom Credits."
Xu Wenji waved his hand, summoning a massive brown boulder.
"Boom!"
The boulder shattered, revealing the new matchup list. The 7th Round had begun!
An hour later, in the ruined arena:
"Spit!"
Lin Qi withdrew his spear from his opponent’s chest. Blood spattered as the foe dissolved into nothingness.
[Match 34: Lin Qi (Azure Firmament) wins!]
The arena’s AI announced his victory.
In Azure Firmament’s stands, a crowd of sophomores and juniors gathered.
Li Qing, a sharp-featured junior, sighed:
"These freshmen are terrifying now!"
"In months, I might not match him."
Beside her, Wang Zhi Xuan nodded: "He’s practically the champion already."
Li Qing murmured, "A champion—chosen from a million elite freshmen."
"Last year, I barely reached the 256s. He’s leagues beyond us."
...
In Shanyu Martial Academy’s stands, Liang Yuxin tossed her silver hair, smirking:
"It’s settled. No Special Ability prodigies this year."
"The title will be decided between Lin Qi, Li Hanjiang, and me."
...
In the Minghai stands, Li Hanjiang grinned at Lin Qi:
"Pity no Ten Institute geniuses are here—this could’ve been fun!"
"But Lin Qi’s strong. The only one who could pose a threat."
...
In the Vip Box, the three top academies sat in silence.
"Expected a clash of titans, but some prodigies weren’t even here", muttered Dean Wu Yueze of First Institute.
Others nodded. Past years proved: once a Special Ability genius entered, the title was theirs.
"At least it’ll be an Azure Firmament student winning", said a purple-robed woman from Nine Pavilions.
Dean Liu sighed, watching them.
