Chapter 379: Breaking Through to the Fifth Realm
Chapter 379: Breaking Through to the Fifth Realm (Monthly Vote Request)
Every corner of Lin Qi’s bones had been sharpened to a razor’s edge, and the refinement of his skeletal structure had reached its final stage.
Now only the subtlest transformation of his skull remained.
“Buzz!!”
The Golden Edge power fused with Vital Force and Primordial Energy, forming a unique energy that worked in tandem with the Tiger Bone Pill’s effects to refine his bones from within and without.
“Haaah~”
Lin Qi’s face flushed red as his body radiated intense heat. His skin burned like fire, and waves of numbness surged from deep within his bones.
“Drip-drip!!”
Sweat poured like rain, gushing from his pores and dripping to the ground. Under tenfold gravity, each droplet flattened midair before scattering.
An hour later…
The intense focus of cultivation weighed heavily on Lin Qi’s exhausted body.
Yet the refinement of his bones had reached its critical peak. Guided by Spiritual Power, the Golden Edge energy now surged into his skull, meticulously refining every crevice.
“Boom!!”
Time lost all meaning.
A tremor shook Lin Qi’s entire body as the roaring in his mind abruptly silenced.
Then, his spine straightened, and his body erupted in a thunderous resonance.
It sounded like a tiger’s roar, his skeleton transforming into a Level 9 Disaster Beast—the Platinum Malevolence Tiger.
Every inch of bone completed its metamorphosis, radiating a chilling aura. His bones felt heavier, denser.
He had forged his Demon Tiger Bones, solidifying his foundational power.
At this moment, Lin Qi clearly felt the tangible strength coursing through his fists, the power flowing directly from his bones.
The Demon Tiger Bones were complete, and with them, a powerful foundation had been laid.
As the Platinum Demon Tiger Evolution Method instructed, breaking through the Nine Realms to become a Title-Bearing Martial Artist required building unshakable foundations at every stage.
Reaching the Fourth Realm demanded successful bone forging.
Without forging one’s bones, advancing to higher realms would become exponentially harder.
Only by laying an ironclad foundation at each stage could one hope for a boundless future.
“Buzz!!”
Under tenfold gravity, Lin Qi didn’t stop throwing punches—advancing from Void Piercing to Thousand Shadows, Earth Shattering, Bodyguard, and finally Unity.
With his bones forged, his body underwent profound changes.
His skeleton vibrated violently, releasing torrents of Vital Force like a surging lake.
Primordial Energy latent within his body erupted outward, and his cells voraciously absorbed the particles.
A surge of strength flooded Lin Qi as he resumed the Adamantine Body Fist.
Vital Force and Golden Edge energy fused once more, guided by his Spiritual Power.
In this moment, his mastery of the Golden Edge reached new heights.
Though fatigue clung to him, an endless current of power drove him to keep striking.
Warmth spread through his internal organs—a sign the bone refinement phase had ended, and the organ cultivation stage had begun.
He had ascended from the Fourth Realm’s Bone Tempering to the Fifth Realm’s Organ Cultivation Stage.
Half an hour later…
“Roar!!”
With a thunderous shout, golden radiance erupted from Lin Qi’s body. The gravitational pressure around him dissipated as his frame trembled.
【You consumed the Tiger Bone Pill and, under tenfold extreme gravity, completed your skeletal refinement. You have forged Demon Tiger Bones.】
【You have ascended from the Fourth Realm’s Bone Tempering to the Fifth Realm’s Organ Cultivation Stage. Your Vital Energy Stat has surged. Vital Energy Stat +20.1】
【Through practicing the Adamantine Body Fist under tenfold extreme gravity, your mastery of the Special Ability [Golden Edge] has deepened. Adamantine Body Fist has reached Initial Mastery.】
【Vital Energy Stat: 399.9→420】
……
“Haaah…”
Lin Qi exhaled stale air from his lungs, a smile forming as he gazed at the surging stats on his status panel.
On March 1st, he’d reached the Fourth Realm. Today, August 1st, he’d broken through to the Fifth Realm.
Five months—his progress had outpaced even his own expectations.
Now a Fifth Realm martial artist at the Organ Cultivation Stage, Lin Qi felt bone-deep confidence radiating from his weary body.
No challenge could break him. No force could bend his spine.
“Gurgle~”
He downed five bottles of Energy Brew in quick succession. The depletion from training in the Gravity Ring Realm had left him ravenous.
……
Half an hour later, back in Villa 01 of Azure Firmament’s Six Colleges…
Lin Qi opened a white lunchbox, retrieving a Level 5 Nutritional Meal.
The vegetables inside had been cultivated in the Otherworld, saturated with Primordial Energy. The rice was specially grown, and the meat came from a Level 5 Disaster Beast.
He devoured the meal ravenously. Even with average cooking, ingredients this top-tier couldn’t taste bad—and the academy’s chefs were anything but average.
After resting briefly, he entered the Martial Arts Training Hall to cultivate Primordial Energy.
Cross-legged, hands raised in the Five Hearts to Sky Posture, he quickly entered meditation, visualizing the Level 9 Disaster Beast, the Platinum Malevolence Tiger.
“Raaar!!”
The beast’s thunderous roar resonated as Primordial Energy particles in the hall surged toward him.
“Haaah…”
Warmth spread through his body, soon met by icy waves of Primordial Energy seeping into his skin. The energy flowed through his pores as his starving cells devoured it, triggering cell division and silent transformation in every muscle, tendon, organ, and sinew.
Though his bones and muscles had already been refined, each advancement in stages would strengthen them further.
His bone refinement had just completed the first phase. Absorbing Primordial Energy would continue optimizing his genetic structure, making his bones even harder—and his strength even greater—thanks to the forged Demon Tiger Bones.
The same physical body, the same innate talent—one succeeded in bone tempering, the other failed.
This meant their future body constitutions would diverge drastically.
Every realm's foundation was critical; advantages accumulated like a snowball rolling downhill, growing stronger with each step.
Bone tempering succeeded, and now came the refinement of internal organs—the five viscera and six bowels.
He guided torrents of primordial energy into his organs, feeling his body's transformation as his organs' functions intensified. This sensation of growing power thrilled him.
Every part of his body was undergoing a frenzied metamorphosis?
Two hours later.
"Huuu!"
A violent gale erupted from his core, radiating outward. Lin Qi's eyes snapped open, releasing a chilling aura and piercing sharpness.
[You've completed primordial energy cultivation. Your body has transformed. Vital Energy Stat +8]
[Vital Energy Stat: 420→428]
...
Lin Qi slowly rose, sensing his vital energy dense and steady, flowing swiftly through every corner of his body, continuously generating power.
"Now I'm also at the Fifth Realm. The gap between me and Chu Yu has narrowed further."
Clutching his fist, he felt confident. At his current cultivation speed, he could catch up within months.
...
The next day.
Azure Firmament's Six Colleges, Azure Whale Mansion.
Wang Zhi Xuan, tall and muscular with striking features, rode the elevator to the top-floor martial arts training hall. Her steps were light, like a nimble deer. She clenched her fist, feeling her surging strength, her heart elated.
Yesterday, she'd broken through from the Fourth Realm to the Fifth.
As a non-S-Rank genius, reaching this stage by senior year was already remarkably fast.
Though she couldn't compare to S-Rank genius senior disciple Liang Tai, she felt satisfied.
Yet her breakthrough was thanks to her junior brother Lin Qi.
As his senior, she felt pride but also pressure.
Her combat strength already lagged behind him. If he surpassed her in stage too, it would be awkward.
Entering the training hall, she donned her martial arts robe. Liang Tai, Li Qing, and junior brother Lin Qi had already arrived. Their instructor, Mu Hong, still clad in black, withdrew a long spear from its case.
"Class begins! Any questions?"
Wang Zhi Xuan stepped forward. "I've reached the Fifth Realm's Organ Cultivation stage and seek guidance."
Liang Tai, broad-shouldered and grinning, said, "Zhi Xuan, congratulations! Your progress rivals even S-Rank geniuses."
Li Qing, handsome and smiling, added, "Congratulations, senior sister."
Mu Hong nodded approvingly.
Wang Zhi Xuan's heart swelled with joy.
"Congratulations to Senior Sister! Today is doubly auspicious—I've also reached the Fifth Realm!"
Lin Qi chimed in, smiling.
Wang Zhi Xuan's smile froze. Li Qing stared wide-eyed.
"Junior brother, you too?"
"Just five months?!"
Liang Tai froze. Mu Hong's heart jolted.
Silence fell. Wang Zhi Xuan felt a chill—her stage had been overtaken too.
Mu Hong finally spoke. "Good news. The faster you break through, the greater your future potential."
Li Qing and Liang Tai exchanged glances, unsure what to say.
Their junior's brilliance made them seem like failures.
Mu Hong exhaled, stunned inwardly.
Even SS-Rank geniuses rarely broke through so early in sophomore year—this was Sss-Rank speed.
His disciple truly deserved Principal Tian Dao's praise.
Composing himself, he addressed the four. "Since Zhi Xuan and Lin Qi have breakthroughs, today I'll explain the next stage."
Lin Qi listened intently. Fourth Realm was bone tempering, Fifth Realm organ cultivation. Each stage had unique requirements beyond mere technique.
Mu Hong continued, "Martial arts have Nine Realms, nine shackles. First Realm, Heaven and Earth each different. Flesh Cultivation, Tendon Cultivation, Third Realm Skin Tempering, Fourth Realm Bone Tempering.
"Post-bone tempering, organ cultivation is optimal.
"Fifth Realm, refine the five viscera and six bowels. Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys. Small intestine, gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, bladder, triple burner.
"Each organ's function is vital. Enhanced organs grant martial advantages.
"Gastric digestion improves nutrient absorption from food and elixirs. Strong kidneys boost stamina; powerful heart and lungs enhance endurance and grip."
Lin Qi nodded. His first innate talent, Stomach Reinforcement, granted superior digestion. Dragon Vigor Tiger Might likely stemmed from advanced kidney, heart, and lung functions.
Mu Hong inhaled deeply, then exhaled.
"Huuu!!"
A hurricane blast roared from his mouth.
Three disciples recoiled. Though their lungs were strengthened, they couldn't match his power.
Waving his hand, Mu Hong dispersed the gale. "Fifth Realm's organ cultivation connects internal organs, amplifying overall stamina and endurance. Body constitution surges, enabling prolonged high-intensity combat.
"On battlefronts, the stamina gap between Fourth-Circle and Fifth Realm martial artists is vast."
He raised his thick right arm. "Vital force control also sharpens."
He tensed his body, power surging.
