Chapter 371: Senior Lin Qi's Legendary Deeds
Chapter 371: Senior Lin Qi’s Legendary Deeds (4500-word Chapter)
The Rainbow Metamorphosis Spear Techniques consisted of fifteen interconnected forms, each motion requiring precise bodily coordination and power generation. For Lin Qi, mastering these movements felt almost effortless.
From his encounter with Havel, he had already sensed the core essence of this spear art.
"Rainbow Emerges!"
"Rainbow Flashes!"
"Rainbow Stab Instant", "Blinding Light Dance", "Arc Whirlstep..."
The complex forms demanded seamless integration of strength, willpower, and spiritual energy, all channeled through unique energy circulation patterns.
His spear lashed like a dragon, its shadow flickering as if weaving countless rainbows.
"Shshsh!!"
"Pfft!"
The Tiger Slaughter Long Spear pierced forward, its technique shifting fluidly. Lin Qi’s entire being merged with the spear art, becoming a beam of pure light.
The air split with a piercing whistle.
This spear art abandoned brute force, prioritizing speed above all.
"Vrrm!!"
He controlled the resonance of his inner energy, spiraling toward the spear tip like a vortex.
Spirals dominated the forms—penetrating the air like a drill boring through soil, allowing the spear to break free from resistance and dart freely.
Lin Qi felt his spear speed under the Rainbow Metamorphosis style surpass even his Sky-Shaking Spear Techniques.
The energy surged as he stabbed repeatedly, creating a storm of spear shadows.
78, 79, 80, 81...
83!
Lin Qi’s heart leapt. He’d exceeded his Sky-Shaking rate by three strikes per second.
And this was just the beginning of mastering Rainbow Metamorphosis. If he reached the same proficiency as Sky-Shaking, he predicted reaching 100 strikes per second.
With a lighter spear, he might even hit 120.
“No wonder this art is famed for speed!”
He practiced relentlessly, reviewing the techniques in his mind. Each repetition deepened his understanding, refining his energy circulation.
The Rainbow Metamorphosis energy required far greater control than his previous arts—its mechanics of power generation were entirely distinct.
After an hour, a notification flashed:
[You’ve mastered the Rainbow Metamorphosis Spear Techniques. Your understanding of specialized spear energy deepens. Spear Techniques +2%.]
[Spear Techniques: Third Stage 85% → 87%]
"Shsh!"
Lin Qi flicked a sweat droplet off his spear tip, shattering it like a needle shooting outward.
He swiftly retracted the spear, his aura settling as the surrounding wind stilled.
Staring at his status panel, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Better than expected! I should’ve bought this manual sooner—I might’ve already reached 90% in Third Stage."
"Still, I’m close. Just 3% away from completing the Third Killing Move!"
"After that, I’ll unlock Mountain-Shaking Intention!"
"I’m getting closer to Senior Wang Zhi Xuan’s level…"
He grabbed an energy potion and drank deeply.
Thinking of Wang Zhi Xuan, he recalled her achieving her Second Killing Move two months ago. Her spear techniques had reached Third Stage Perfection.
Now, he was nearly there himself.
Ranked among the top 20 juniors, she’d surpassed many senior students—likely placing top 500 among graduating seniors.
Lin Qi used her as a benchmark to estimate his own academy ranking.
"My goals must shift. My rivals are now Sss-Rank Geniuses and top seniors."
His current strength dwarfed his peers like Yu Zhuoran, yet lagged far behind Sss-Rank talents and elite seniors.
Still, the gap thrilled him. Challenges fueled his growth.

In the Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion’s Imperial Capital headquarters, a lavish office sported a prairie-green theme.
Across an intelligent desk, a red-robed woman with striking presence addressed Pei Jiu.
"After thorough evaluation, the high council recognizes your SS-Rank Genius innate talent."
"Sign this contract, and you’ll join your Pei clan as its third SS-Rank Genius."
Pei Jiu’s heart pounded despite his composure. Years of effort culminated here.
His mother’s unique physiology allowed nine children despite her Eighth Stage Grandmaster status—a global marvel visited even by Red Emperor himself.
Each Pei sibling, raised on heavenly treasures, was an S-Rank Genius. Awakening guaranteed SS-Rank, with three siblings already achieving it. One elder sister was a senior student.
Pressure had driven him since childhood. Now, he’d become the fourth.
He signed swiftly.
"Click!"
The woman smiled. "Congratulations, Pei Jiu. You’re our 37th SS-Rank Genius."
Confused, he asked, "I thought 36…?"
"Two days ago, Lin Qi from Cang Province joined as the first unawakened SS-Rank Genius."
Pei Jiu nodded. "Ah, Lin Qi. Of course."
No surprise there.

In Bei Jiang Province, Li Hanjiang nervously clutched an obsidian case. His trembling hands betrayed his calm exterior.
"You’ve mastered the Minor Divine Ability—top-tier innate talent." A burly blue-robed elder declared.
"This Awakening Fruit was secured by Sword King himself. Don’t fail us!"
Li Hanjiang entered his training hall, swallowed the fruit, and braced for the agonizing transformation.
"I will awaken!"
Blue runes flared across his body.
Pain surged—a trial he welcomed.

Only Yue Feng, Sun Manager, Wu Lingyun, and Dean Liu knew Lin Qi had awoken. Not even his parents.
However, all four of them had silently agreed not to publicize the matter.
Since Lin Qi was still at home, the more people who knew, the greater the danger to him.
As for Lin Qi himself, he rarely left the house. Besides relaxing, he spent most of his time cultivating.
Cultivating the Platinum Demon Tiger Evolution Method.
As his Vital Energy Stat approached 400, progress grew increasingly difficult.
The refinement of the Tiger of Calamity also became more challenging, still requiring significant effort before completion.
Next was the Annals of Calamities, where his Spiritual Power rose steadily without encountering bottlenecks.
Lastly were his spear techniques. While the Rainbow Metamorphosis Spear Techniques became more refined, advancing to the next stage grew harder.
Summer heat lingered as time passed slowly.
Disaster Beast invasions continued unabated across the globe, leaving humanity trapped in turmoil.
For martial arts university students nationwide, a new semester had arrived.
Martial Dao Calendar, July 14, 2047
Yujing Haoting Residential Complex, the spacious plaza.
Dressed in a black tracksuit, Lin Qi stood calmly in the open square.
Beside him stood Jiang Tao, tall and broad-shouldered with dark skin.
Beside them was Jiang Miaoyin, her tall figure radiating vitality, her delicate features strikingly beautiful.
Also present were Lin Qi’s parents, Sun Manager of the Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion, Deputy Pavilion Master Yue Feng, and Pavilion Master Wu Lingyun.
“He’s here!” Wu Lingyun announced.
“Boom!!”
Suddenly, powerful gusts materialized, rustling the surrounding trees.
A sleek red aircraft landed silently, its metallic body gleaming coldly under the sun.
The Falcon Fighter hovered to a stop before them.
“Buzz!”
The cabin door hissed open. A graceful figure stepped out—Lu Wei, the teacher with a round, youthful face and an inviting curves. She smiled warmly at them.
“Lin Qi, Jiang Tao, long time no see!” she greeted.
“And Jiang Miaoyin, this semester’s new students will be departing under my escort.”
“Teacher Lu, thank you for coming personally,” Lin Qi replied politely.
Turning to Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi, he said:
“I’ll be off then, Mom and Dad!”
Lin Zhen nodded, smiling: “Go. When you return next semester, your mother and I will have grown stronger.”
Lin Qi nodded. His father’s new arm moved fluidly, radiating a formidable presence.
Earning tens of millions in the coming months would provide ample resources for his own cultivation.
His Vital Energy Stat would surely soar.
With a final glance, he boarded the Falcon Fighter with Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin.
Their luggage accompanied them directly.
Pavilion Master Wu Lingyun followed, chuckling: “This trip, I’m your bodyguard.”
Lin Qi grinned. Yue Feng had mentioned Wu Lingyun’s new role as Southern Inspector—this trip to the Imperial Capital included both protection and a headquarters meeting with old acquaintances.
“Boom!!”
The Falcon Fighter roared to life, piercing the sky toward the blazing sun.
Soon, it vanished into the distance.
Yue Feng murmured: “I’ve never seen an Unawakened genius this strong. Who knows what history Lin Qi will write next?”
Sun Manager mused: “The unknown is what makes this exciting. It’s precisely because of geniuses like Lin Qi that humanity still has hope.”

Imperial Capital, deep in the mountains
Azure Firmament Martial Academy, main entrance.
Freshmen gazed in awe at the towering Red Emperor Statue guarding the academy.
“Form lines for security screening!” a burly guard barked.
“Boom!!”
Suddenly, a Falcon Fighter thundered into the airspace.
“Why are some freshmen bypassing security by arriving via aircraft?” a student protested.
“Only Awakened geniuses get that privilege!” the guard, Duan Wei, scoffed.
The student fell silent. Compared to an Awakened genius, he was far behind.
Several geniuses watched the aircraft’s wake, eyes filled with envy.
Some S-Rank Geniuses clenched their fists, determined to prove their worth.
Inside the academy, freshmen underwent strength tests.
“My fist strength is 1000 kg!”
“1500 kg!”
“2400 kg!”
“That’s Qu Lingyue from Jiangnan Province—National College Entrance Exam 6th place! His strength is insane!” someone shouted.
The muscular boy smirked at the crowd’s admiration until he saw his rank—54th.
His expression darkened. If he ranked 54th, what power dominated the top ten?
“Qu Lingyue is this strong and still 54th? Who are the monsters ahead?”
“Three are last year’s seniors—Huo Wanyang, Ao Feng, and Lin Qi.”
Nearby, Ao Feng entered through the security gate, recalling last year’s Freshman Competition. He’d once challenged Huo Wanyang for top freshman.
But Lin Qi had emerged from nowhere, an unprecedented talent who swept all rivals aside, shining like a sun that left no room for competition.
Freshmen were soon shuttled away to their respective colleges.
On the tour bus, instructors detailed the academy’s rigid hierarchy and privileges.
A passing bus for returning students slowed.
“Welcome to the Azure Firmament Six Colleges!” a senior called.
“You can forget the dean, professors, or seniors—but never Lin Qi!”
“Teacher, who’s Lin Qi?” a girl asked.
The instructor smiled: “He’s a legend here. You’ll learn soon enough.”
“I know!” a round-faced boy boasted. “My brother’s a sophomore.”
“Lin Qi was last year’s Academy Head of the Sixth Institute—a genius beyond genius!”
He recounted Lin Qi’s feats: leading the Sixth Institute to victory in the Disaster Beast Hunting Competition, crushing Huo Wanyang in the Freshman Competition, then defeating both the runner-up and champion in the National Freshman Competition, even besting S-Rank Awakened geniuses. At the Global Freshman Competition, he dominated countless Awakened talents and SS-Rank Geniuses.
“The latest rumors say Lin Qi might become the first Unawakened SS-Rank Genius!” the boy gushed.
The students gasped, eyes wide with awe. A mere Unawakened genius defeating Awakened elites? They imagined themselves in his shoes, hearts racing.
“Unbelievable! No wonder he’s a legend,” someone whispered.
“I’d kill for his autograph. He’s my new idol!” another vowed.

Azure Firmament Six Colleges Dormitory Plaza
“Boom!!”
The Falcon Fighter descended in a gust of wind. The cabin door opened.
Lu Wei stepped out first, followed by Lin Qi, Jiang Tao, and Jiang Miaoyin.
“I’ll show you to the villas,” Lu Wei offered.
“I’ll accompany her,” Jiang Tao nodded.
Lin Qi parted ways with Wu Lingyun inside the aircraft.
“Lin Qi, don’t hesitate to contact me!” Wu Lingyun grinned.
“I won’t!”
“Boom!!”
Watching the Falcon Fighter vanish, Lin Qi carried his luggage to his private villa.
He had an appointment with Dean Liu soon—the Awakening Fruit was already prepared.
