Chapter 294: Platinum Malevolence Tiger
Chapter 294: Platinum Malevolence Tiger (Requesting Monthly Vote)
"Xiaochan, activate the Crimson Heaven Residence!"
"Understood, Master!"
Xiaochan raised her hand, opening the Crimson Heaven Residence and projecting its interface. The familiar crimson backdrop materialized before Lin Qi’s eyes.
After logging in swiftly, a melodious tune began playing from the Martial Arts Training Hall.
Surveying the familiar homepage, Lin Qi navigated to the Martial Arts section and clicked inside.
He typed [Mid-Tier Primordial Energy Martial Art] into the search bar.
[Martial Art] → [Intermediate]
Confirming his selection, the page refreshed, revealing a list of Mid-Tier Primordial Energy Martial Arts appearing one by one.
Mid-Tier Primordial Energy Martial Arts were specialized techniques designed for martial artists at the Fourth to Sixth Realms.
[Mid-Tier Primordial Energy Martial Art Count: 148]
The Crimson Heaven Residence housed a staggering 148 intermediate martial arts.
Lin Qi further filtered the results, selecting only those rated Five-Star.
The page updated again, this time displaying far fewer entries.
"Only 24 Five-Star rated martial arts? That’s surprisingly few."
Lin Qi’s mind raced as he recalled the 24 known Ninth-Grade Disaster Beasts. Since the Otherworld’s emergence and the invasion of Disaster Beasts, these creatures—from Grades One to Nine—had proliferated endlessly.
Yet, in the 47 years since the Martial Dao Calendar began, only 24 Ninth-Grade Disaster Beasts had ever been recorded globally. This matched the number of Five-Star Mid-Tier martial arts listed.
He scanned the screen.

Lin Qi briefly reviewed several entries, the prices staggering him.
Entry-Level Primordial Energy Martial Arts cost only 5 million credits, but Mid-Tier versions were four times pricier. He suspected Advanced Primordial Energy Martial Arts would exceed 100 million.
After memorizing all 24 entries, he noted their origins. Each martial art derived from humanity’s strongest animal prototypes—tigers, bears, apes, lions, whales, elephants, and more.
Some had multiple variants, like apes: the Titan Gorilla and the Mountain-Mover Ape, both Ninth-Grade Disaster Beasts. The former was discovered and named by Western nations, its martial art created by a Western martial artist and sold in Xia Kingdom via Black Radiance Gym.
Lin Qi’s golden Status Panel now displayed compatibility percentages beside each martial art.
He quickly spotted his best matches:
Platinum Malevolence Tiger Evolution Method – Compatibility: 100%
Hydra Sovereign Evolution Method – Compatibility: 99%
Quake Dragon Elephant Evolution Method – Compatibility: 99%
To his astonishment, all 24 martial arts showed over 90% compatibility. Even randomly choosing one would suit him well—12 exceeded 95% compatibility.
His gaze settled on Platinum Malevolence Tiger. The sole 100% match.
Predictably, the tiger-related martial art proved ideal.
The Platinum Malevolence Tiger was a Ninth-Grade Disaster Beast, a top-tier "King-Level" entity among its kind alongside the Hydra Sovereign, Quake Dragon Elephant, and Red Flames Avian.
Notably, it was an evolved form of the Golden Vajra Tiger. If the latter ever consumed a Platinum Malevolence Tiger’s flesh, it could evolve further.
In the Otherworld, Disaster Beasts weren’t static in power—they evolved by devouring one another. Those born from Ninth-Grade parents held status, but those who clawed their way up through carnage were even more terrifying.
"Platinum Malevolence Tiger it is!"
Without hesitation, Lin Qi added the martial art to his cart.
Next, he purchased Bone Tempering Elixirs—his top priority. Having exhausted his prior stock, he ordered ten bottles for his impending Otherworld expedition.
Spirit Nourishing Elixirs followed, another ten bottles secured.
[Mr. Lin Qi, confirm purchase of Platinum Malevolence Tiger Evolution Method, Bone Tempering Elixirs, Spirit Nourishing Elixirs, and other items?]
"Your purchase totaling 65 million Xia Kingdom Currency has been applied a 40% discount. The final amount due is 39 million!" the system message announced.
Lin Qi extended his hand for payment.
"Fingerprint verification successful!"
"Payment confirmed!"
"Mr. Lin Qi, your purchased items will be delivered tomorrow."
...
Lin Qi pulled out his phone, watching helplessly as his balance plummeted from 50 million to just 11 million. His heart ached.
"At least I had that discount", he muttered. "Otherwise, those prices would've been unbearable."
He shook his head. Training resources kept getting more expensive by the day. When it came time to enter the Otherworld, he'd have to spend even more. Who knew how much he'd have left?
"I hope this Mid-Tier Primordial Energy martial art proves its worth", he mused, anticipation growing.
...
Crimson Vault Building, Deputy Principal's Office
Deputy Principal Xu Wenji exuded a scholarly air despite his status as an 8th Stage martial artist. Slender and wiry, he studied thirteen large screens displaying live feeds of twelve prodigies and their point rankings.
Rising from his seat, he murmured to himself while observing the leaderboard: "Lin Qi should be purchasing his Mid-Tier Primordial Energy martial art by now."
"There are only 24 Five-Star rated martial arts available, but with fourteen candidates, overlaps are inevitable."
Xu Wenji stroked his neatly groomed mustache thoughtfully. "But each type of level-nine Disaster Beast corpse in the Otherworld is unique. That's sure to create quite the spectacle."
...
March 19th, Day Two of the Tenth College's Disaster Beast Hunting Competition
Outside Villa #01 at Azure Firmament's Six Colleges
"Brother Qi, what did you buy this time?" Jiang Tao asked curiously as he watched Lin Qi accept three metal cases from a delivery drone and hand them to his service robot.
"Mid-Tier Primordial Energy martial art and some training supplies", Lin Qi replied with a smile.
Jiang Tao's eyes widened. "A Mid-Tier Primordial Energy martial art? Let me guess - the 'Platinum Malevolence Tiger Evolution Method'?"
"Correct!" Lin Qi raised his eyebrows, surprised.
"You're the Mountain King. Among the 24 level-nine Disaster Beasts, none suit you better than the Platinum Malevolence Tiger", Jiang Tao said enviously. "You're practically a human-form level-nine Disaster Beast already!"
Lin Qi grinned. "What about you?"
Jiang Tao chuckled. "My foundational Primordial Energy martial art focuses on the level-eight Adamantine Body Ape. For my Mid-Tier martial art, I've chosen the level-nine Mountain-Mover Ape."
"They're closely related, so this must be the perfect match for me."
Lin Qi nodded. His closest friend had an excellent track record of choosing martial arts perfectly suited to his abilities.
"Brother Qi, I'll work hard to break through to the Fourth Realm soon", Jiang Tao said, clenching his fist.
"You will", Lin Qi agreed confidently. He knew Jiang Tao's innate talent was exceptional. In this competition, Jiang had already climbed to 10th place on the student rankings, surpassing two S-Rank Geniuses. Many were surprised, and in the future, he might even reach the top three and awaken a Special Ability.
...
Two minutes later, after finishing their conversation, Lin Qi returned to his Martial Arts Training Hall with his cases.
The largest contained various training supplies of different sizes. More valuable items like Bone Tempering and Spirit Nourishing elixirs were stored separately. He instructed Xiaochan to direct the service robot to secure everything in his personal vault.
Only one case remained. With a beep, the Obsidian Steel Case unlocked via fingerprint scan, revealing three items: the martial art manual, a data crystal, and an Obsidian Radiance Stone containing the Divine Image.
The manual's cover radiated dazzling white-gold light. As Lin Qi picked it up, the flowing script on its cover - "Platinum Malevolence Tiger" - suddenly transformed into a terrifying vision.
The beast before him stood over a hundred meters long, a living fortress. Its white-gold fur gleamed with cold metallic luster, each strand sharper than a steel needle. Its head dwarfed a hill, with blood-red eyes like precious gems and rows of jagged teeth in its gaping maw. Towering limbs ended in razor-sharp claws, while its thick tail, covered in barbs, moved like a giant python.
This was the apex level-nine Disaster Beast - the Platinum Malevolence Tiger!
Golden aura swirling around it, the beast roared defiantly at the heavens, leaving Lin Qi awestruck. When the vision faded, only the four golden characters remained.
The Platinum Malevolence Tiger's sheer size dwarfed even the formidable level-eight Golden Vajra Tiger in his mind. Compared to this beast, the Golden Vajra Tiger seemed like a mere kitten.
Composing himself, Lin Qi began studying the manual. Though brief, its pages felt heavier, more substantial.
"The 'Platinum Malevolence Tiger Evolution Method' was created by observing the level-nine Disaster Beast of the same name. By emulating its ability to break free from physical constraints, it greatly enhances Primordial Energy absorption and accelerates Vital Energy cultivation."
Lin Qi nodded. This matched what Teacher Lu Wei and Dean Liu had told him. Wasn't that the whole purpose of Mid-Tier Primordial Energy martial arts - to accelerate cultivation?
But as he continued reading, his expression gradually changed. The following content was completely unfamiliar to him.
