…
Gazing at the dense data on the golden status panel, pride swelled in Lin Qi’s chest.
It had only been nearly two years, yet his martial cultivation had skyrocketed!
From an ordinary student to the strongest among his peers, he’d achieved this in under two years.
“My Vital Energy Stat is only 153 away from the Fifth Realm, and most of my torso bones have already been refined,” he mused.
“If I consume more resources, I can push further.”
Lin Qi nodded, his eyes settling on the Fusion Rate line of his template.
[Fusion Rate: 24.7%]
…
“Just 0.3% left, and my Special Ability will awaken.”
“There’s only one way to increase the Fusion Rate: relentless cultivation.”
He mentally calculated the timeline. It was May now, and summer break began in June. The national martial universities started on July 15th. If nothing unexpected happened, he’d awaken his Special Ability within those two and a half months.
“No need to rush. Let it happen naturally.”
“Next, time to stock up on resources!”
“Xiaochan, open Crimson Heaven Residence!”
“Yes, Master.”
The black-haired Xiaochan projected a crimson screen before him.
Lin Qi navigated the [Shopping Module] with ease. Now that he had money, he could afford more supplies.
“The Blue Planet lacks concentrated Primordial Energy and 24-hour Triple Gravity.”
“Only gravity chambers exist here. To break through quickly, I’ll have to rely on cultivation resources.”
He clicked on Bone Tempering Elixir and purchased ten bottles, but then remembered better options.
Searching again, new elixirs appeared:
[Item: Premium Bone Tempering Elixir]
[Effect: A refined, stronger version of Bone Tempering Elixir. Significantly boosts bone-refining efficiency.]
[Price: 100 million per bottle]
…
Expensive!
Lin Qi winced at the price. At 100 million per bottle, the cost was astronomical—four times the regular elixir! He wondered if the effectiveness matched.
He’d avoided buying it before, needing funds for emergencies. But now…
“Order five bottles to test!”
He placed the order, then added Spirit Nourishing Elixirs and Spiritual Power Elixirs to his cart.
[Classmate Lin Qi, are you purchasing Bone Tempering Elixir, Premium Bone Tempering Elixir, Spirit Nourishing Elixirs, and Spiritual Power Elixir?]
[Total cost: 125 million. With your 40% discount, final payment: 75 million Xia Kingdom Currency!]
[Beep!]
[Fingerprint verified!]
[Payment successful!]
[Classmate Lin Qi, your items will arrive tomorrow!]
…
Staring at the deducted 75 million, Lin Qi felt a pang. This was a massive expense.
Out of his total assets of nearly 200 million, after subtracting 50 million for the Elixir of Regeneration and the 75 million spent, only 70 million remained.
“The stronger you get, the more you spend…”
“But this investment will fuel my cultivation for the next month!”
He mentally tallied the resources—enough to push his strength significantly further.
…
April 3rd, the next day
On the road of Azure Firmament Six Colleges
“Brother Qi, the teaching buildings feel empty these days,” Jiang Tao said, excitedly recounting the Global Martial Arts Championship he’d attended.
“Only us freshmen are around. The sophomores, juniors, and seniors went to the Global Martial Arts Championship!”
“I watched it—it was amazing…”
On a silver electric car, Jiang Tao gushed about the martial arts battle he’d seen.
Lin Qi nodded. Freshmen had their Global Freshman Competition, while older students competed in the Global Martial Arts Championship—a grand event combining three grades. Unlike the freshman event, this one featured much stronger competitors.
Next year, Lin Qi would join the Global Martial Arts Championship, facing opponents far beyond his age group.
Lin Qi didn't lack opponents—he faced geniuses ranked as top-tier SS-Ranks who had one, two, or even three years more experience than him.
"Lin Qi, your parcel!" called a voice.
After parting ways with Jiang Tao, Lin Qi returned to his villa. The delivery he'd ordered yesterday had already arrived at the entrance.
Beep!
After verification, Lin Qi entered the villa carrying two metal crates, heading straight to his martial arts training hall. He changed into a martial arts robe before opening the crates. Inside lay elixirs of different colors.
There were only four types of elixirs, but Lin Qi's gaze fixed on five bottles. The deep green liquid in one crate was ordinary Bone Tempering Elixir, while the five bottles before him contained a darker green elixir with a black sheen—a richer, more concentrated variant known as Black Jade. The liquid was crystal clear, resembling solidified crystal.
He retrieved one Premium Bone Tempering Elixir, set the crate aside, and downed the bottle in one gulp.
As the bitter taste spread across his tongue, Lin Qi discarded the empty bottle and began moving his body.
Crack!
His bones creaked audibly, vibrating as if a high-precision machine were undergoing adjustments. His aura grew increasingly formidable.
Snatching up the 500-kilogram Husha Great Spear, he felt its weight pressing heavily on his arms.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Shshhh!!
He began executing the Sky-Shaking Spear Techniques. His body surged forward, vital energy surging as his powerful frame tore through the air, creating rapid gusts.
Pfft! Hsssh!
The spear slashed in fifteen continuous strokes, each movement resonating with thunderous force and absolute dominance. With every strike, sound waves rippled through the air.
Simultaneously, the Premium Bone Tempering Elixir began taking effect. He felt waves of heat radiating from his stomach through his organs and into his bones.
Haaah!
His body burned with heat as a fiery current enveloped his skeleton. The torso, still incomplete in its tempering, blazed hottest of all—like a blacksmith forging steel in a roaring furnace.
Hiss!
A tingling numbness spread across his torso, threatening his focus.
Shshhh!!
Lin Qi refused to stop training, combining physical exertion with the elixir's effects for amplified results. He controlled the Husha Great Spear's weight, thrusting with precision. The numbness challenged his control, forcing his mind to sharpen its concentration—a side benefit that deepened his mastery of spear techniques.
Balancing dual focus, Lin Qi monitored his body while wielding the spear. He felt his bones grinding and refining, their density and hardness increasing like a legendary weapon being forged. He thought of Xiang Long and others who'd awakened special abilities—genetic powers that transformed their bodies entirely, making each part uniquely formidable. For them, practicing mid-tier primordial energy martial arts to forge bones offered unmatched advantages.
"I'm already tempering bones quickly", he mused. "Once I awaken, my transformation will accelerate this process. Demon Tiger Bone will forge at its fastest."
He sensed his power would surge explosively after awakening, potentially reaching the Fifth Realm. But for now, steady progress was key.
---
Two hours later, in the silent training hall, Lin Qi adjusted his breath through gritted teeth. Nose exhales created small whirlwinds as sweat dripped from his brow. His body trembled, spear strokes slowing as the numb tingling faded completely. The elixir's effects had exhausted themselves.
Haaa!
With a roar, Lin Qi unleashed his accumulated power. Vital force surged, vibrating his bones and condensing into a forceful wave. He channeled it into the Husha Great Spear.
Vrrrrrroooom!!
The weapon screamed as metallic resonance shaped the energy into a sharp projectile, funneled through the piercing spearhead.
Shhhooom!
White air pressure waves burst outward, tearing droplets of sweat from his body. As the winds settled, Lin Qi felt his strength had grown.
[You consumed a Premium Bone Tempering Elixir. Bone Tempering efficiency increased drastically. Torso forging significantly advanced. Demon Tiger Bone progress accelerated. Vital Energy Stat +15]
[After intense training, your spear techniques improved. Spear Techniques +1%]
[Vital Energy Stat: 250 → 265]
[Spear Techniques: Third Tier 70% → Third Tier 71%]
Eyeing his stat gains, Lin Qi grinned.
"Fifteen points added to Vital Energy! Even accounting for initial elixir effects, this is beyond expectations!"
"No wonder Premium Bone Tempering Elixirs are worth every penny."
