Chapter 384: Six-Stage Combat Power (Requesting Monthly Vote)
A single fist shatters all!
"Boom!!"
Lin Qi stared at his reflection in the full-length mirror mounted on the wall. A golden silhouette—a manifestation of his Adamantine Body's radiant energy—glowed fiercely around him.
It radiated invincibility, an aura of indomitable force that seemed to crush everything in its path.
This was the essence of the Adamantine Body technique—the embodiment of Lin Qi’s understanding of its power.
[Organ Cultivation Stage Serum activated. After heart refinement in the 11x Gravity Ring Realm, Vital Energy stat +15]
[Adamantine Body Fist mastered in extreme 11x Gravity Ring Realm. Heart clarified, essence grasped. Adamantine Body Fist Intent unlocked. Fist Techniques +10%]
[Effective training completed. Template Fusion Rate +0.1%, Special Ability Awakened: 60%]
[Vital Energy: 486→501]
[Fist Techniques: Third Circle 99%→Fourth Circle 09%]
[Template: Erlang Shenyang Sword]
[Fusion Rate: 25.9%→26%]
...
As the crushing gravity dissipated like receding tides, Lin Qi relaxed his muscles. Seeing the updated stats on his status panel, he grinned.
He’d successfully broken through to the Fourth Circle of Fist Techniques and grasped its essence.
The Adamantine Body Fist Intent—this unyielding will, this ironclad conviction—now infused his martial arts.
Staring at his reflection, his intense aura radiated outward, so piercing that even his eyes became impossible to look at directly.
Memories surfaced of his teacher Mu Hong’s earlier advice to senior apprentice sister Wang Zhi Xuan. The words remained etched in his mind:
"The essence of a technique reflects one’s understanding of the world. It’s shaped by your experiences, wisdom, and mindset."
"Only when your will perfectly resonates with it can you truly grasp its power."
Lin Qi clenched his fist. The Adamantine Body Fist Intent required unshakable determination and an indomitable spirit—the resolve to break through any barrier.
He’d finally clarified his true self, achieving the most difficult step of the cultivation process.
More importantly, he now felt the immense power of this essence. It was a unique force.
With a single punch, his intent materialized, enhancing his technique’s devastating power.
Even his soul had undergone transformation. His heart remained calm and unshaken, immune to any negative emotions.
This essence granted extraordinary power amplification.
He turned his attention to his Vital Energy stat, placing a hand over his chest.
His heart thundered like war drums, each beat strong and rhythmic.
In just half a month, he’d completed the refinement of his heart—the most critical organ among the five vital organs.
Now it functioned like a high-performance engine, pumping blood with such vigor that he felt inexhaustible energy every day, his grip on his halberd stronger than ever.
He’d smoothly advanced through the first minor stage of cultivation. The process had been faster than expected.
By next year’s Global Martial Arts Championship, he’d likely break through to the Sixth Stage.
"Gu-lu~"
Fatigue swept over him as sweat dripped from his brow. He grabbed an Energy Brew and took a large swig.
His gaze lingered on the final notification:
[Special Ability Awakened: 60%]
"When I reach 30% Fusion Rate, will I awaken a new Special Ability?"
Curiosity burned within him. Until now, he’d only heard of prodigies like S-Rank, SS-Rank, and even the Sss-Rank Chu Yu possessing a single awakened Special Ability.
But he was certain—he would awaken a second one.
Two Special Abilities would undoubtedly be stronger than one.
An additional ability meant more combat options. If they could synergize, the power would be terrifying.
Perhaps both could share the same attribute. If he already had [Golden Edge], then awakening [Adamantine Body] or [Golden Radiance] would skyrocket his combat strength.
...
An hour later
Inside Villa 01 of the Azure Firmament Six Colleges’ campus, the martial arts training hall buzzed with activity.
After dinner and a brief rest, Lin Qi prepared to resume training.
"Beep!"
Before him, a large red-and-black Punch Force Analyzer powered up with a hum.
This was the Crimson Heaven II Series model—identical to the new unit at his home. It could withstand up to 100 tons of punching force.
His last recorded measurement had exceeded 20 tons. Now, after advancing from the Fifth Stage Bone Tempering Realm and completing heart refinement, his Adamantine Body Fist Techniques had reached mastery. His control over the Special Ability [Golden Edge] had also strengthened.
"Ha~"
His body relaxed completely—until suddenly, his eyes sharpened like a tiger locking onto prey.
His aura surged. Vital Energy roared like boiling water, his heart pounding furiously as blood rushed through his veins.
"Boom!!"
His spine straightened like a soaring dragon, tendons rising to the surface. He precisely controlled every muscle, like a machine’s components operating in perfect synchrony.
He coiled his muscles, twisting his waist and hips. Then, like a tiger pouncing, he launched his fist forward—an arc as perfect as a meteor streaking through the sky.
It tore through the air with a Sky Sundering roar, smashing into the analyzer’s red target.
"Boom!!!"
The impact sent the rounded target surface collapsing inward, vibrating violently with a deafening crash.
"Beep!"
Numbers flashed across the electronic screen: "15,994kg!"
Lin Qi smiled at the result.
15.994 metric tons—nearly 16 tons of force.
The minimum requirement for the Sixth Stage’s Bone Marrow Cultivation Realm was 20,000 kilograms. He still lacked 4,000kg.
But for a newly promoted Fifth Stage martial artist, 10,000kg was already exceptional. His strength surpassed them by a full 6,000kg.
The gap had widened significantly.
"Let’s try using Golden Edge!"
"Boom!!!"
Golden light erupted from his eyes, and terrifyingly sharp energy radiated outward. His entire body was enveloped in a golden glow—a radiant armor of sheer piercing edge.
He felt golden threads swirling around him like agile swordfish. With a mere thought, they gathered around his arms.
"Vrrr!"
The air itself surged into violent gales. Lin Qi unleashed the Adamantine Body Fist!
Golden silhouettes condensed around him, his [Golden Edge] power reaching peak concentration. Combined with his Vital Energy, his punch became a blade cleaving through space.
Adamantine Body Fist—Sky Sundering!
"Whoosh!!"
Air ripped apart with a piercing scream as his fist struck the red target.
"Boom! Boom!!"
The explosion of sound dwarfed the previous impact. Explosive force echoed through the entire training hall, curtains whipping wildly in the wind.
"Beep!"
The analyzer’s screen numbers skyrocketed: "28,888kg!"
Lin Qi’s eyes widened with excitement.
28,888 kilograms—29 tons of force!
A 1.8x increase. This placed him firmly in the mid-tier range of Sixth Stage power.
This was the effect of mastering the Adamantine Body Fist—it had significantly enhanced his control over the [Golden Edge] ability.
If he activated a Minor Divine Ability, he might even rival someone at the Sixth Stage peak.
The power boost from Special Abilities was truly terrifying.
