The moment Lin Qi spoke, the air froze into silence.
Jiang Tao’s mind went blank for a second before snapping back to reality. His eyes widened as he stared at Lin Qi’s serious expression.
“What?!”
“Brother Qi, what did you just say? Repeat it!”
Even Guan Shan, known for his calm demeanor, couldn’t hide his shock. He blinked rapidly.
“Brother Qi, you’ve already fused Vital Force and Primordial Energy?!”
“So does this mean you can now achieve Vital Force Projection after breaking into the Fourth Realm?”
The three stared at Lin Qi, who nodded calmly.
“I’m pretty sure. I originally bought Sky-Shaking Spear Techniques to enhance my control over Vital Force for Mountain-Shaking Force. But then I suddenly tried fusing Vital Force and Primordial Energy, and it worked—alongside Mountain-Shaking Force!”
Lin Qi explained casually.
Jiang Tao and the others felt gut-punched.
“Brother Qi, you skipped a step! There’s still the phase where you master Vital Force’s variations—you leaped past it!”
“Wait, didn’t Brother Qi practice Mountain-Shaking Force for just two days?!” Wang Qiufeng blurted suddenly.
At this, Jiang Tao and Guan Shan fell silent again.
It was too crushing. Compared to Lin Qi, they felt like fools.
Lin Qi shook his head. “It’s not that exaggerated. I hadn’t reached Bone Tempering yet. Merging muscle tension and Primordial Energy wasn’t difficult. Now for Vital Force Projection, I’ll need more time.”
Hearing this, the three relaxed slightly.
…
Twenty minutes later, the group parted ways.
After a quick lunch, Lin Qi returned to his martial arts training hall. He activated Xiaochan to replay Liu Ran’s lecture and took notes beside it.
Today’s lesson covered the Fourth Realm—Bone Tempering, the threshold of mid-tier martial artists. It marked a transformative leap in every aspect.
First, the Vital Energy Stat needed to reach 300 to advance to the Fifth Realm.
No wonder Bone Tempering was the graduation standard. If the Fifth Realm were required, over half the students wouldn’t reach it in four years.
Vital Force Projection was the hallmark of the Fourth Realm.
Lin Qi lowered his hands and clenched his fists, channeling his Spiritual Power to feel his circulating Vital Force.
Since breaking into the Fourth Realm yesterday, his body had changed. Flesh, muscles, and sinews—the three foundational elements of lower-tier cultivation—had reached perfection.
He tensed again. Vital Force flowed like water. His Mind’s Eye innate talent sharpened his perception, revealing every internal detail: skin, muscles, tendons, bones. All vibrated in unison. Even his bones generated Vital Force now, radiating from every part.
“It’s definitely denser. My Vital Force has grown stronger,” he mused, tightening his fist. This power could amplify his weapon’s might.
Peng!
He punched like a cannon blast. The air exploded with a deafening crack.
Clawing his hands, he practiced the Tiger Form Fist from Five Elements Boxing. Though he’d switched to multiple spear techniques, Tiger Form remained etched in his bones.
Each motion felt familiar yet new. His body resonated with sinewy cracks, vibrating muscles. Even his skin trembled, Vital Force surging like a torrent.
Peng!
The punch sent another blast. Vital Force, once a trickling stream, now roared like a waterfall—too wild to fully control.
“True. The Vital Force has become like a cascading torrent—denser, fiercer.”
As he struck, he adjusted to his body’s changes.
Pengpengpeng!
Blows erupted like firecrackers. Bones generated Vital Force, piercing through his fists with penetrating power. The sound sharpened.
He sank his consciousness inward, sensing the shifts. He also noticed more Primordial Energy particles swirling in his body. With every movement, they scattered like dust from a shaken blanket—settling randomly in muscles, joints, organs. Some were slowly absorbed.
“Did I absorb too much Primordial Energy yesterday?” he wondered. Post-breakthrough, his body retained more energy, but cellular capacity had limits. Excess particles lingered, uncontrolled.
Peng!
He tensed his muscles, attempting to control the particles—only to find it far harder than before! More particles meant more chaos. Merging them with Vital Force externally became even trickier.
…
Hours later—
Pengpeng!
In the vast training hall, Lin Qi exhaled sharply. His body quivered, sweat droplets flying into the air.
Eyes brightening, he controlled his muscles and Primordial Energy vibrations, channeling them into a vortex of Vital Force. The swirling current wrapped the Primordial particles, racing through his body.
He directed the blend into his arms, power surging to his fingertips.
Seizing the moment, he unleashed a tiger-claw strike.
Peng!
A torrent of Vital Force erupted from his body, slicing the air. The sweat droplets in midair exploded into sand-like fragments.
Lin Qi halted, eyes gleaming. Success!
Golden text flashed on his Status Panel:
[Through relentless practice of Five Animal Forms, you’ve mastered Vital Force Projection. Fist Techniques advanced. Fist Techniques +5%]
[Fist Techniques: Tier 3, 50% → 55%]
…
Hu—
Lin Qi grinned.
“My innate talent’s no joke. I mastered Vital Force Projection in a day!”
He hadn’t expected to re-master the Vital-Primordial fusion so quickly. The method was crude, but effective—enough to send Vital Force flying independently.
He checked his body. Some Primordial Energy had exited with the strike, but residues remained plentiful.
“This is just the start. Next is integrating it into weapons—far harder.”
“And refining Vital Force’s flow for finer control.”
He knew his path now. For Spear Techniques, perfecting Vital-Primordial fusion would skyrocket his moves’ power.
…
The next day—
In the top-floor office of Azure Whale Mansion at Azure Firmament Six Colleges, Lin Qi sat on a soft blue sofa across from Lu Wei. She’d shed her student aura months ago, fully embracing her counselor role. Dean Liu fed colorful fish in a nearby tank.
“Lin Qi, I never expected you’d reach the Fourth Realm so fast. You’ve set another record.”
“In our decades of history—even counting those who awakened Special Abilities mid-training—the earliest breakthrough was late March. You’re nearly a month ahead.”
Dean Liu turned, admiration in his voice.
Lu Wei added, “Only three or four from Ten Institute’s elite have surpassed you in Fourth Realm progression.”
Lin Qi nodded. Pei Jiu and Xiang Long were likely next, while Yu Zhuoran had already broken through weeks ago—his Vital Energy Stat probably soaring.
Dean Liu sat, sipping tea. “Now that you’ve reached the Fourth Realm, your muscle-sinew-bone power has surged. You must control their synergy to achieve Vital Force Projection.”
Lin Qi accepted the tea. “I’ve already mastered it.”
Puh!
Dean Liu spat out his tea, coughing. “Choked!”
He dabbed his mouth, embarrassed. “Didn’t expect you so fast…”
“Next, refine your control,” Lu Wei cut in. “Integrate Vital Force into your spear techniques.”
Lin Qi nodded.
Dean Liu continued, “Beyond martial arts, to accelerate your Vital Energy Stat growth, you’ll need an Intermediate Primordial Energy Martial Art.”
“Top-tier talents like you require Five-Star-rated techniques. Mid-tier arts use Four-Star ratings—based on Grade-8 Disaster Beasts, slightly evolved.”
“Five-Star, though, is a different tier. They emulate Grade-9 (King-Beast) Disaster Beasts—the apex of their kind. Equivalent to human Nine Realms martial artists.”
Lin Qi sipped tea, nodding. His early-stage art, Golden Vajra Tiger Evolution Method, was Grade-8. Now in the mid-tier, he needed a King-Beast-level art.
