Chapter 264: Innate Talent [Ultimate Sublimation] (Requesting Monthly Vote)
[Physical transformation imminent. You have ten minutes to prepare...]
Lin Qi stared at the message on his Status Panel and began his preparations. He tightened his grip on the white towel in his hand—crafted from a special, exceptionally durable material resistant to being bitten through.
Ten minutes later
"Vrrrr!"
The moment the countdown ended, Lin Qi’s entire body convulsed violently. His heartbeat skyrocketed, as if a mysterious force had surged into his body, igniting every nerve in an instant. Like a fuse lit at both ends, the energy erupted through his body in a chain reaction.
"Hiss—"
His eyes widened, bloodshot and glistening with tears, his face contorted as veins bulged across his skin. Deep within his bloodline, his genetic code was now being rewritten by invisible, omnipotent hands.
His physical form began to shift—every breath felt like his flesh was being ripped apart by a thousand blades.
"Thump! Thump!"
His heart pounded wildly, its own structure fracturing before being reconstructed. The searing pain forced him to clamp his teeth down on the towel.
"Ahhhh!"
He felt like he was dying—like his heart would detonate. Yet an unseen force shielded his vitals, breaking them apart before reforging them. His blood vessels, muscles, sinews, and bones all shattered and reformed. Though less intense than past transformations, the full-body overhaul still felt like an endless wave of agony.
Sweat poured from him, purging toxins, while his breath expelled thick clouds of waste. The pain was unbearable. Each transformation was a torment—yet he knew surrender meant death.
Deep within his cells, a new force stirred. He recognized it: the power of his Minor Divine Ability, Golden Vajra Transformation. His cells surged with energy, undergoing an unprecedented metamorphosis.
Through the haze of pain, he sensed Primordial Energy particles swirling around him, drawn into his body as his cells devoured them to fuel his rebirth.
His chest burned like molten iron, his skin radiating a dazzling, pale-golden glow. The agony intensified, threatening to consume his consciousness—but he clung to awareness by sheer willpower.
Only Xiaochan, wrapped in her blue robe, could see the golden markings blazing across Lin Qi’s chest.
Two hours later, nearing midnight.
The vast Martial Arts Training Hall lay silent. Lin Qi lay sprawled on the floor, staring blankly at the ceiling, his mind still echoing with the memory of his ordeal.
Snapping back to focus, he fixated on his Status Panel.
[Template Fusion Rate: 20%. Your body has undergone a complete transformation. Innate Talent has advanced across all aspects. Innate Talent enhancement unlocked: Enhanced Weapon Proficiency.]
[Genetic sequence optimized. Innate Talent acquired: Ultimate Sublimation.]
[Minor Divine Ability Golden Vajra Transformation has evolved due to Ultimate Sublimation. New Tier Achieved: Second Tier.]
[The evolution of your Minor Divine Ability has awakened latent power in your bloodline. Special Ability Awakening: 50%. Full Awakening at 25% Fusion Rate.]
[Your body has absorbed massive Primordial Energy particles. Vital Energy Stat has increased by 5.]
[Vital Energy Stat: 80 → 85.]
Lin Qi’s eyes widened as he scanned the flood of notifications. His new Innate Talent had not only emerged but elevated his Golden Vajra Transformation.
What exactly was Ultimate Sublimation?
He clicked the talent for details:
Innate Talent: Ultimate Sublimation
Effect: When facing danger or death, the user ignites their body’s energy to unleash power far beyond their natural limits. This ability can turn the tide of battle and push the user beyond their previous thresholds—even at the brink of death.
The description felt eerily familiar. It was nearly identical to his Golden Vajra Transformation, but sharper, more potent. This talent’s power had catalyzed his Minor Divine Ability into a higher tier.
He checked the updated details of Golden Vajra Transformation:
Golden Vajra Transformation (Second Tier): The first tier grants a full-body enhancement. The second tier triggers a secondary surge, multiplying the user’s physical prowess exponentially.
Lin Qi’s mind reeled at the implications. The cost was severe—his body would sustain heavy damage, potentially fatal for those with weaker constitutions. Even his hardened form would require recovery time afterward, leaving him vulnerable.
Advanced Restorative Elixirs could shorten this period. He resolved to carry them at all times.
He exhaled slowly, then turned to his Special Ability. Half-awakened, and visible on his Status Panel—something once thought impossible.
Special Ability Awaken Rate: 50%. At 25% Fusion Rate, full awakening achieved.
"So my premonition was right. At 20–30% Fusion Rate, I’d trigger the awakening. Now, with 50% progress, I’ll reach 100% in four to five months—before Sophomore year."
Hunger struck suddenly, his stomach roaring in protest. He guzzled three bottles of Energy Brew and devoured four servings of Grade-4 Nutritional Meals, then showered to wash off the thick layer of sweat and blood.
Back in front of the mirror, his body gleamed like a sculpted weapon. His stats confirmed the transformation:
Name: Lin Qi (18)
Occupation: Martial Artist
Template: Erlang Shen Yang Jian
Fusion Rate: 20%
Innate Talents: Stomach Reinforcement, Dragon Vigor Tiger Might, Steelbone, Mind’s Eye, Ultimate Sublimation
Martial Arts: Harmony Stance, Five Elements Boxing, Golden Vajra Tiger Evolution Method
Techniques: Mountain Collapse, Mountain Sunder, Spear Techniques, Thunderlight Body Techniques, Thunderflash Instant Kill Step
Spiritual Power: 90
Vital Energy Stat: 85
Fist Techniques: Stage 3, 33%
Spear Techniques: Stage 3, 27%
Body Techniques: Stage 3, 18%
In less than two years since awakening in September 2045, he’d rocketed to fame as the "Mountain King", hailed as the strongest freshman in the nation.
"I’m not strong enough yet. Before Sophomore year, I’ll become the ultimate freshman in the world."
December 31, 2046.
The Azure Firmament Martial Academy granted students a day off, though none could leave campus.
In the virtual world’s Disaster Beast Trial Tower, Huo Wanyang logged in. Dressed in his crimson combat suit, his marble-like muscles rippled with power. His aura burned hot and volatile as he stared at the tower’s peak.
"After a month of training, I mastered the Crimson Lotus Halberd Art’s Red Lotus Pulse in six days. Two more days refined my new Body Techniques Manual. My progress is unstoppable—I’ll be the first freshman to conquer the Trial Tower’s fourth floor. First, I’ll surpass Lin Qi."
He grinned, clenching his fist in confidence.
