Chapter 366
Chapter 366 – Combat Power Surge (Requesting Monthly Vote)
Lin Qi moved like a tiger forged entirely from blades—sharp, domineering, radiating raw power that threatened to shred everything into fragments.
He shifted from Tiger Form Fist to Crane Form Fist, his fingers snapping forward like a crane’s beak, piercing the air like a long spear.
“Hiss-hiss!!”
Metallic energy surged from his body in waves.
The Crane Form Fist had transformed. He cycled through techniques—Snake Form, Dragon Form, Ape Form—each strike now charged with wild ferocity and razor-edged intensity.
His mastery of the Five Elements Boxing had seeped into his bones. Every movement was honed through relentless practice, intimately familiar. Yet now, the techniques felt… altered.
Lin Qi realized that while the Golden Edge ability let him wield sharp, cutting force, it wasn’t the perfect fit. The techniques themselves had changed.
Sudden understanding struck—he recalled that those who awakened special abilities learned refined versions of martial arts. There was a Five Elements Boxing variant specifically designed for this.
“I should learn the refined Five Elements Boxing first,” he decided, planning to report his awakening to Dean Liu soon.
As he pondered, his fists kept moving. Meanwhile, the Premium Bone Tempering Elixir coursed through him. His bones heated, his body trembled, and his mind buzzed. Though discomfort lingered, it dulled.
“Haa~”
Lin Qi exhaled golden mist through his nose. Golden Edge energy flowed into his skull, merging with the elixir to temper his bones. Golden Radiance blazed from his eyes as his brain and skull underwent intense refinement.
The Golden Edge accelerated the process.
Lin Qi’s heart soared. He struck harder, the Five Elements Boxing feeling more fluid by the second.
An hour later…
The golden glow faded, vanishing into his skin. Sweat dripped from his brow as he gasped for breath.
“Using a special ability really drains you,” he muttered, studying his status panel.
[Your mastery of Five Elements Boxing has awakened your Special Ability. Fist Techniques Stage greatly increased. Control improved. Fist Techniques +5%]
[Premium Bone Tempering Elixir, enhanced by Golden Edge, accelerated skull refinement. Demon Tiger Bone progress +1, Vital Energy Stat +10!]
[Vital Energy Stat: 370 → 380]
[Fist Techniques: Third Stage 85% → Third Stage 90%]
He exhaled. The increased Vital Energy Stat was unexpected.
“Golden Edge speeds up physical refinement faster than I thought.”
His Vital Energy Stat neared 400—a daunting threshold. He’d expected a 3-4 gain from the elixir, yet got ten.
“This might mean faster progression to the Fifth Realm.”
Excited, he drank two Energy Brews to recover, then retrieved the Tiger Slaughter Long Spear from the wall.
With his enhanced physique and 13,000 kg of punch strength, the 500 kg Black Long Spear felt lighter.
“Hu-hu!!”
He swung it, practicing Spear Techniques.
While his Vital Energy Stat and Demon Tiger Bone advanced rapidly, his Spear Techniques lagged.
“Shshsh!!”
The spear tore through air, releasing powerful Vital Force. Fifteen spear moves chained together, overwhelming and oppressive.
Lin Qi sensed the change as his limbs, torso, and skull neared full refinement. Vital Force fused with Primordial Energy, flowing like golden blood.
“Buzz!!”
Golden Vital Force wrapped the Tiger Slaughter Long Spear, turning it black-gold.
One thrust—like a dragon lunging. He felt an invisible boost.
Spear Techniques speed and destructive power spiked.
Like a runner suddenly pulled forward, every aspect strengthened—especially the Vital Force.
It became blades piercing through the spear, slicing the air.
Nodding, he grasped what Xiang Long felt.
“This boost makes a massive difference!”
He estimated a 20% combat increase.
For prodigies, even 10% could decide victory. Twenty percent meant ordinary S-Rank Geniuses couldn’t compare.
Golden Edge’s edge cut space itself.
He activated Golden Edge again.
“Boom!!”
Golden Radiance erupted. The hidden Special Ability surged, consuming his Vital Force.
The Tiger Slaughter Long Spear’s golden glow intensified, becoming divine steel.
“Buzz!!”
The spear vibrated, Delta Alloy resonating with Golden Edge.
“Hssk~”
Lin Qi felt fused with the weapon. His senses sharpened, perceiving subtle environmental changes.
He swung.
Blade-like energy sheathed him. The spear split air with a thunderous roar, forming swirling white gusts.
Released Vital Force condensed, streaking forward like invisible arrows.
“Pfft!”
Five meters away, a gray curtain—three millimeters thick—ripped.
“Huah~”
The wind calmed. He rushed to the curtain, seeing a clean slash halfway through.
“These training hall curtains are specially made. Even scissors struggle to cut them.”
“But Golden Edge just tore them from five meters away!”
He gripped the spear. Golden Edge’s synergy with weapons exceeded expectations.
His combat power nearly doubled—far surpassing barehanded feats.
“Now I understand why a First Realm senior at 17, once awakened, can kill Level-3 Disaster Beasts and rival Third-Circle Martial Artists.”
He gripped the spear, continuing his drills.
Now he felt confident facing 6th-Level Disaster Beasts.
Sixth-Realm Martial Artists were all prodigies. If their techniques didn’t outclass his, he’d defeat them easily.
His Sky-Shaking Spear Techniques intensified, each thrust like a roaring dragon shaking mountains.
Vital Force grew more oppressive, yet he controlled it better.
Even a tenth of his strength could crush bricks. Full power with the spear—opponents might face a thousand cuts.
With his strength, even stone posed no barrier.
Swirling the spear, he felt Vital Force shift. His Template Fusion Rate’s increase had boosted his innate talent. New insights surfaced, deepening his mastery.
An hour later…
“Shshshsh!!”
In one second, he thrust 80 times—a blur of 80 holes in air.
As he retracted the spear, ripples spread like pond waves, then stilled.
[Special Ability awakened. Vital Force evolved. Spear Techniques +5%]
[Spear Techniques: Third Stage 80% → Third Stage 85%]
He sheathed the spear, fatigue crashing over him. Sweat drenched his robe, arms trembling.
But the results were staggering.
Spear Techniques neared Third Stage 85%, just 15% from Fourth-Circle’s mountain-shaking intent.
“Almost there.”
His Vital Energy Stat and martial arts teetered on breakthrough.
By semester’s end, he’d reach Fourth Realm’s peak and perfect his spear techniques.
All within reach.
