Chapter 370: Rainbow Metamorphosis Spear Techniques (Requesting Monthly Votes)
Top Floor of Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion
Pavilion Master’s Office—this was Lin Qi’s first visit.
The office spanned over 500 square meters, decorated in a classical Chinese style. The floor was forged from a special alloy, while holographic projections of a babbling brook and arched bridges adorned the walls and ceiling. A faint, refreshing incense lingered in the air.
At the center lay the workspace: a colossal black desk, a brown bookshelf, and a tall figure standing before it.
Beep!
The office doors slid open as Lin Qi and two others entered.
The figure turned around—a tall, dignified middle-aged man with gentle yet striking features. He wore a white robe blending traditional and modern designs, radiating an aura of effortless grace. His demeanor bore a striking resemblance to Dean Xue Zhou of the Azure Firmament Six Colleges.
Wu Lingyun extended his broad hand, smiling.
“Hello, Lin Qi!”
Lin Qi stepped forward, shaking his hand firmly.
“Hello, Pavilion Master Wu!”
The moment their hands met, Wu Lingyun’s expression shifted subtly. A surge of power rippled through his palm.
“You’ve Awakened?”
Lin Qi felt an unusual energy seep into his body, triggering a faint resonance with his Golden Edge ability. He nodded calmly.
“I Awakened a couple of days ago.”
Sun Manager sucked in a breath through their teeth, while Yue Feng wore a look of astonishment.
“Lin Qi, you’ve Awakened? Why didn’t I sense it?”
Wu Lingyun chuckled.
“That’s because you’re too weak.”
His mind racing, Wu Lingyun marveled at the revelation. Just yesterday, they’d debated whether Lin Qi could skip to SS-Rank due to his Awakening. Now, not only had he Awakened, he’d solidified his status as a true SS-Rank Genius.
His tone warmed.
“From now on, call me Uncle Wu. ‘Pavilion Master’ feels too formal.”
Lin Qi nodded.
“Alright, Uncle Wu.”
Wu Lingyun strode to a white tea table where a brown tea set awaited. The three sat—Lin Qi and Wu Lingyun facing each other, Yue Feng across from them. Wu Lingyun poured two cups of steaming tea, the fragrance sharpening the senses the moment Lin Qi sipped it. A rush of vitality coursed through him.
Placing his cup down, Lin Qi said,
“Dean Liu mentioned the SS-Rank contract.”
Sun Manager slid a file onto the table, projecting a cascade of data.
Wu Lingyun nodded.
“I’ll oversee the signing today. Let me explain the SS-Rank contract—it’s nothing like the S-Rank one you’ve signed before.”
Lin Qi agreed. The S-Rank contracts for Awakened geniuses like Wan Ming or Xiang Long were already far beyond ordinary deals. As for Yu Zhuoran’s SS-Rank contract… Wu Lingyun gestured to the holograms.
“Previously, the SS-Rank contract granted 40 million Xia Kingdom Credits annually, plus resources worth 20 million—totaling 60 million. But yesterday, the Three Great Martial Arts Pavilions and the Imperial Military revised the terms, effective immediately. Even those who’ve signed before will be upgraded automatically.”
He paused, tapping the projection.
“The new terms: 60 million Credits cash annually, and 40 million in resources. Since SS-Rank Geniuses grow so rapidly, we’ve converted all resources into equivalent cash. Combined, that’s 100 million Credits per year.”
Lin Qi’s eyes gleamed. The Pavilions had upgraded all contracts? His S-Rank deal had only granted 15 million annually—Awakened geniuses might earn 25 million, and SS-Rankers like Yu Zhuoran, 40 million. Now, with resources converted to cash, his total would hit 100 million per year. As a sophomore, he’d receive this for three more years—300 million Credits in total.
Wu Lingyun continued.
“Your Crimson Heaven Residence discount remains at 40%—we can’t lower it further. However, you’ll receive an additional 10 million Points to purchase martial arts techniques.”
He detailed other benefits—discounts on rare resources, exclusive training zones, and priority access to elite missions. Lin Qi skimmed the contract. The discounts were already minimal, but each transaction saved him millions. Genius students like him consumed resources at a staggering rate, and Wu Lingyun hinted that even these benefits might shrink in the future.
“This is what our Pavilion offers. At the Three Great Academies, you’ll receive even greater privileges—ask Dean Liu for details,” Wu Lingyun added with a smile.
Lin Qi nodded, flipping through the contract before signing with a pen, pressing his fingerprint, then repeating the process on the electronic document.
As the deal finalized, Wu Lingyun stood, pulling Lin Qi up for a commemorative photo.
“Lin Qi, starting today, you’re officially the 36th SS-Rank Genius in the history of our Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion.”
Lin Qi nodded. Thinking about it, the SS-Rank Geniuses in Xia Kingdom weren’t exactly rare. Crimson Vault alone had 36, and adding the other two major Martial Arts Pavilions plus the Imperial Military, there were likely over a hundred SS-Rank Geniuses in total.
Wu Lingyun smiled. “Log in to the official website now—your verification should finalize soon.”
He pulled out his smartphone as he spoke.
“Lin Qi, let’s exchange contacts!”
“If you ever face any difficulties that Old Yue can’t handle, feel free to reach out to me.”
Lin Qi nodded and added Wu Lingyun’s Weixun account on his phone. Among the contacts in his phone were already several 8th-Stage Martial Artists and over a dozen Seventh-Realm cultivators. A whole network of young geniuses, all destined to become High-Realm Martial Artists. He hadn’t actively sought these connections, yet here they were—his influence growing naturally.
...
Minutes later, Yue Feng drove Lin Qi home. Wu Lingyun continued sipping his tea leisurely, recalling the moment he shook hands with Lin Qi.
“It must be the Golden Edge Special Ability.”
“For someone just Awakened to have such an intense aura is rare indeed!”
“Meeting him today confirmed it—he’s truly a dragon among men!”
“SS-Rank isn’t his limit.”
“He might even rise to Sss-Rank someday.”
At this thought, he shook his head and chuckled.
“What’s wrong with me? Believing he could actually reach Sss-Rank.”
He attributed this to the deep impression Lin Qi had left.
Sss-Rank Geniuses were in a completely different league. Since Xia Kingdom’s Genius Ranking System was established, fewer than 30 Sss-Ranks had ever existed—each a prodigy among prodigies, the future of humanity itself.
...
The next day, in the spacious living room of Villa 66:
“Brother Qi, you became an SS-Rank Genius?!”
Jiang Tao, with his dark skin, listened to Lin Qi’s announcement with excitement, bursting into laughter.
“Brother Qi, I knew you’d become an SS-Rank Genius eventually.”
“About time Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion showed some taste.”
Jiang Miaoyin, tall and graceful, jumped up from the sofa.
“Big Brother Lin Qi, SS-Rank Genius is just the beginning! I believe you’ll definitely become an Sss-Rank Genius!”
Lin Qi explained the details of the SS-Rank Contract to Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao’s eyes gleamed. “A billion credits a year? That’s insane!”
“I’d better work harder—maybe I’ll become the second Unawakened SS-Rank Genius!”
Jiang Miaoyin raised her hand. “I’ll be the third!”
Lin Qi laughed. “You will.”
With him as a precedent, if Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin’s Innate Talents kept improving, becoming SS-Rank Geniuses was entirely possible—though Awakening was still a prerequisite.
...
After Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin left to train, Lin Qi retreated to his Martial Arts Training Hall.
Two shoebox-sized metal cases sat on the floor. He performed a fingerprint scan and opened them.
The first case contained a thick silver manual—Annals of Calamities—alongside three scrolls in green, cyan, and blue.
Removing the scrolls, he identified them: green for Fourth-Rank Disaster Beast, cyan for fifth-level, blue for sixth-level. Intermediate-level Spiritual Martial Arts could be cultivated up to the Seventh Realm’s Spiritual Power.
He flipped through Annals of Calamities. Its cultivation method resembled the Atlas of Calamities, both relying on Meditative Visualization of battling Disaster Beasts within one’s consciousness to refine Spiritual Power. However, Annals of Calamities featured higher-tier Disaster Beasts, more complex Visualizations, and fiercer mental clashes. Stronger Spiritual Power required stronger stimuli to hone.
Setting Annals of Calamities aside, he reached for the second case’s red manual. Boldly inscribed on the cover were four flowing characters: Rainbow Metamorphosis Spear Techniques.
“Hiss-hiss!”
The moment he focused, countless crimson beams seemed to pierce toward him. Before he could react, they’d already pierced through his body.
So fast!
Startled, Lin Qi snapped back to reality. This was the realm Rainbow Metamorphosis Spear Techniques aimed to achieve.
He began reading. From Havel’s records, he’d learned about this spear art’s essence: the words Metamorphosis and Rainbow.
It pursued attacks as dazzling and swift as a rainbow’s arc. When unleashed, the spear became a nimble ribbon of light, darting freely through the air.
A spear art that pushed speed to its absolute limit.
His philosophy? Speed was power. The faster the strike, the greater the damage. Sufficient velocity could kill any opponent, transcend space itself, and strike from anywhere.
After skimming, he closed the manual, grabbed the Tiger Slaughter Long Spear from the wall, and began practicing Rainbow Metamorphosis Spear Techniques.
“Hiss-hiss!”
The fifteen forms unfolded swiftly in his hands. From awkwardness to fluency, he mastered them in just three repetitions.
