Chapter 372: Reforms and Tigerbone Pills
By noon, Lin Qi had returned to his villa.
"Xiaochan, order two Level-4 Nutritional Meals!"
"Of course, Master!"
The Blue Metal Sphere hovering beside him shimmered before projecting Xiaochan’s elegant, black-haired form.
Minutes later, seated in his spotless living room, Lin Qi devoured two Level-4 Nutritional Meals. He felt only 80% full, but the nutrients were already insufficient for his needs.
"As I grow stronger, my nutritional demands increase. These Level-4 meals won’t last much longer", he mused. "To keep boosting my Vital Energy Stat, I’ll need Level-5 Nutritional Meals once I break into the Fifth Realm."
Level-4 meals cost 1,500 Xia Kingdom Currency each, while Level-5 meals soared to 5,000. For ordinary people, these meals balanced bodily health. For him, they needed to actively enhance his vitality—his training resources.
That night, Lin Qi drove his black electric car to Azure Whale Mansion. As usual, he took the elevator to the top floor. The office door stood open, and he walked in.
The late afternoon sun bathed the room in crimson light. Dean Liu, clad in a long robe, turned to face him.
Compared to a month ago, Lin Qi had transformed. His presence radiated razor-sharp intensity, as if his very aura had become a blade slicing through the air.
"I’ve no doubt you’ve Awakened—your Special Ability must be Golden Edge", Dean Liu said. "You’re far too sharp. Compared to you, Ten Institute’s Xiang Long is like a mere kitchen knife beside a divine blade."
Lin Qi smiled. "You flatter me, Dean."
Dean Liu gestured for him to sit. "You’ve only just Awakened Golden Edge. You need to master Five Elements Boxing to control it."
Handing Lin Qi a steaming cup of tea, he continued, "I’ve sold Awakening Fruits to old contacts. Though their base price is 5 billion Xia Kingdom Currency, I secured 8 billion through cash-and-resource exchanges."
Lin Qi nodded. Eight hundred million was a fortune—his total expenses since entering senior year hadn’t even reached that.
Dean Liu projected a file. "I converted 3 billion into cash. The remaining 5 billion became rare resources, like Tigerbone Pills."
Lin Qi’s eyes lit up. Though unfamiliar with the term, anything tiger-related was promising.
"Tigerbone Pills are crafted from bones of the Golden Vajra Tiger, an Eighth-Stage Disaster Beast", Dean Liu explained. "They aid martial artists cultivating tiger-based techniques. You’re in the Bone Tempering Stage, forging your Demon Tiger Bone. The final step—reaching 400 Vital Energy Stat—stops 90% of talents. These pills boost your chances."
He slid a silver obsidian steel case onto the table. "Three pills. Thirty million each—ninety million total."
Lin Qi set down his tea, smiling inwardly.
"Other resources require pre-orders", Dean Liu added. "They’ll arrive when you break into the Fifth Realm."
"Thank you, Dean."
"You’re now an SS-Rank Genius", Dean Liu continued. "Your privileges reflect that. For starters, your villa’s Primordial Energy Concentration is upgraded. Also, your Disaster Beast Trial Tower rewards and scholarships have increased."
He paused. "You’ll receive a special uniform—breathable, insulating, and aerodynamic. S-Rank Awakened talents get 10 million monthly. For you, 30 million."
Lin Qi exhaled. Thirty million monthly—over 360 million yearly—plus Trial Tower rewards and his 480 million balance. Compared to ordinary geniuses, his resources were astronomical.
"Lastly, you’ll gain eight extra hours weekly in the three core training facilities", Dean Liu concluded. "Our reforms will pour more resources into Awakened talents like you. Prepare for greater changes ahead."
Lin Qi felt the weight of an approaching era. Their kingdom was evolving to counter Disaster Beast threats. Awakened geniuses were now the priority.
Later, back in his villa, Lin Qi examined the Tigerbone Pills in their case. Each brown pill gleamed in the glass vial.
He swallowed one. Bitterness flooded his mouth, followed by a nauseating scent. Unfazed, he downed a liter of water and lifted his 500-kilogram Tiger Slaughter Long Spear.
His status read: Vital Energy Stat 388.
Previously, two Bone Tempering Elixirs would have sufficed for the final leap. Now, even premium elixirs barely raised his stat by four points.
He thrust the spear, practicing Rainbow Metamorphosis Spear Techniques. His movements blurred into fluid, luminous arcs.
Suddenly, his bones burned. A tingling numbness surged through his skeleton—a sensation entirely new.
