Chapter 388: Ten-Man Ambush!! (Requesting Monthly Vote)
Huo Wanyang was stunned. Right before his eyes, Lin Qi had just broken through in his Spear Techniques.
He was certain he hadn’t misseen—what he witnessed was intention manifesting physically, a phenomenon that only emerged after Martial Spirit Techniques advanced to the Fourth-Circle. This ability could vastly enhance a technique’s power.
Yet he himself hadn’t even mastered his third killing move yet.
His mind reeled, torn between shock and disbelief as he gazed toward the distant battlefield where the fiercest clash raged.
“Roar!!”
The Ironspine Warbear, a beast as massive as a hill, sensed imminent danger and instinctively recoiled, its iron-like arms snapping backward.
But it was too late.
Lin Qi felt an unprecedented surge of clarity and strength—he knew his Spear Techniques had reached a breakthrough.
Channeling the Mountain-Shaking Intention, he unleashed the Third Killing Move of the Sky-Shaking Spear Art—Mountain Sundering!
“Boom!!”
His Special Ability Golden Edge blazed to its peak. The Tiger Slaughter Long Spear was enveloped in golden radiance, transforming into a golden war spear. Like a golden dragon surging from the sea, it roared toward the Ironspine Warbear.
The power of mountains surged into the spear’s strike, tearing through the air with a deafening sonic boom, sending concentric rings of white shockwaves rippling outward.
The razor-sharp spearpoint pierced straight through the neck of the sixth-level Disaster Beast, the Ironspine Warbear.
It felt as though the tip had pierced steel—the beast’s neck muscles were abnormally tough, impervious to ordinary weapons.
Thick-skinned and rugged-fleshed, the Ironspine Warbear had always prided itself on its defense.
But this time, it faced Lin Qi at his deadliest.
After breaching the skin, the golden radiance spiraled like a whirling blade, shredding the surrounding flesh and organs, extinguishing the beast’s vitality in an instant.
“Puh-puh~”
Blood erupted like a waterfall!
“Roaaar~”
The Ironspine Warbear let out a furious bellow, venting its rage as it collapsed, its colossal body crashing down and kicking up a cloud of dust.
“Bang!”
Lin Qi landed in the dust, holding his spear one-handed, his body still cloaked in golden radiance. Not a drop of blood stained him—like a celestial warrior descending from the heavens.
His chest heaved violently. Even this single killing move had drained him considerably.
Points+50,000
[You faced the sixth-level Disaster Beast Ironspine Warbear, sensed danger, and broke through at a critical moment. Your Sky-Shaking Spear Art has advanced, and you’ve successfully awakened the Mountain-Shaking Intention. Spear Techniques +10%]
[Spear Techniques: Third Stage 99% → Fourth-Circle 9%]
...
Lin Qi glanced at his status panel, which now confirmed his breakthrough to the Fourth-Circle and the awakening of the Mountain-Shaking Intention.
He closed his eyes, savoring the sensation.
It felt akin to the Adamantine Body Fist Intention—like gaining a new divine blessing, exponentially amplifying his technique’s power.
The greatest reward from this Disaster Beast Hunting Competition was undoubtedly the breakthrough in his Spear Techniques.
More importantly, he could now slay sixth-level Disaster Beasts. In the Xia Kingdom, this placed him among the mid-tier martial artists—second only to High-Circle cultivators and even rivaling the masters of minor Martial Arts Pavilions.
But for Lin Qi, this was merely the beginning.
Surveying the remaining Disaster Beasts, he tightened his grip on the golden spear and resumed his deadly dance.
Though he’d felled the Ironspine Warbear, the beasts still charged without fear.
He had to eliminate them all.
Far away, Huo Wanyang pressed the emergency rescue button. His stamina was nearly depleted.
He’d already surrendered to the situation, watching Lin Qi in silence, his mind reeling at the impossible feat.
Without even using his Minor Divine Ability, Lin Qi had slain a sixth-level Disaster Beast.
And they were both SS-Rank Geniuses—yet the gap between them was absurd.
At that moment, on a distant watchtower, a tall, green-uniformed officer exhaled in awe:
“Genius! Truly incredible—the Vital Energy Stat of a Fifth Realm Organ-Cultivation Stage cultivator, yet he’s slain an adult sixth-level Ironspine Warbear.”
“This beast was no weakling among sixth-level Disaster Beasts. Even a newly-minted sixth-Circle martial artist might’ve struggled against it.”
“And yet he defeated it so decisively!”
The soldiers nearby were equally stunned. Having witnessed countless geniuses over the years, they’d seen S-Rank talents at every Disaster Beast Hunting Competition.
But never one like this.
A sixth-level Disaster Beast that required heavy artillery and the Thunder God Cannon for over half an hour to fell had been cut down in an instant.
And the killer was merely a Fifth Realm martial artist—a sophomore student who’d just awakened an Intention?
High above, aboard a crimson-furred fighter jet, the charmingly unrestrained dean of the Sixth Institute chuckled, shaking his head as he gazed at the scene:
“Remarkable! If I hadn’t seen it myself, I’d never believe this was possible for an SS-Rank Genius.”
“Just breaking through to the Fifth Realm, yet he’s awakened an Intention to slay a sixth-level Disaster Beast Ironspine Warbear—without even using his Minor Divine Ability?”
“This is beyond what an SS-Rank Genius should achieve.”
“He’s practically an Sss-Rank Genius!”
Xue Zhou couldn’t help but admire Lin Qi more with every passing moment. The boy was simply extraordinary.
“Dean Xue, a group of students is rapidly approaching Lin Qi and Huo Wanyang!”
Suddenly, a woman in a red-and-white robe, her figure lithe and sun-kissed skin glowing, called out.
She was Jiang Tao, the teacher of Guan Shan and Wang Qiufeng—Liu Ran.
Xue Zhou glanced at the projection screen. Fifteen red markers were closing in on Lin Qi and Huo Wanyang.
Zooming in, they were fifteen students. Five were heading straight for Huo Wanyang, while ten raced toward Lin Qi’s position.
“So they’ve finally moved.” Xue Zhou said, utterly unfazed.
“Shall I eliminate them on the spot?” Liu Ran asked, her voice dripping with slaughter intent.
“No,” Xue Zhou said, waving a hand. “Let me handle it.”
A muscular middle-aged man stepped forward, a Seventh Realm expert and also Yu Jing’s instructor at the Azure Firmament Six Colleges.
Xue Zhou shook his head again. “No need.”
“Lin Qi just slaughtered a sixth-level Disaster Beast. A few humans won’t be a problem for him.”
“Let him gain some experience fighting Vermin Race transformation martial artists.”
“We’ll just go there secretly to ensure their safety.”
Liu Ran and the man nodded in agreement.
“Buzz!!”
Above the clouds, the fighter jet’s cabin door opened. Xue Zhou stood at the edge, hundreds of meters in the air, and leapt headfirst.
Liu Ran and the man followed closely behind, weapons in hand, diving like thunder into the forest below.
...
“Puh! Puh!”
“Roar~”
As the last fourth-rank Disaster Beast, the Bronze Wild Ox, fell, Lin Qi withdrew his spear. Not a single Disaster Beast remained standing around him.
The battlefield was littered with corpses, the air thick with the stench of blood.
Tens of thousands of Disaster Beasts had flooded the area for kilometers, their blood forming crimson streams soaking the grass.
Lin Qi gasped for breath, sweat pouring from his forehead. He checked his watch—less than an hour remained until the competition’s end.
Time to leave.
His stamina was nearly spent, and there was no reason to linger.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, his brows furrowed. He turned sharply toward the forest.
Several figures charged toward him at full speed, eyes bloodshot.
Among them, two were immediately familiar—Yu Jing and Li Zehao.
Old rivals.
Lin Qi felt a surge of danger from his core.
This wasn’t right.
