Chapter 401: Reward Settlement
Chapter 401: Reward Settlement (Requesting Monthly Vote)
Lin Qi unscrewed the jar and poured out its golden contents, swallowing the viscous liquid-like substance in slow gulps. A wave of sweet flavor spread through his mouth as the entire bottle of Five-Element Organ Tempering Balm disappeared down his throat.
As the balm entered his body, its effects began immediately. A coolness surged forth, suppressing the fiery pain that had plagued him.
"Huuuuh!!"
He turned and inhaled deeply before plunging back into the swimming pool.
Feet landing on the alloy floor of the pool's bottom, he gripped the black-gold Tiger Slaughter Long Spear with both hands. Channeling his focus, he began practicing the River and Mountain Spear Techniques.
This spear technique's essence was divided into two parts: mountains and rivers!
He'd previously mastered the Mountain-Shattering Spear Method, Split Mountain Spear Techniques, and Sky-Shaking Spear Techniques, all emphasizing the majestic, unstoppable might of mountains. Only the Dripping Water Spear Art contained faint traces of flowing water's essence.
Now submerged in water, he could better perceive fluid dynamics, completing the water component of the technique. This would dramatically accelerate the transformation of Grand Scenic Aesthetic.
"With both aspects of Grand Scenic Aesthetic fully comprehended?"
He might not even need a month.
Holding his breath, he furiously practiced the River and Mountain Spear Techniques underwater. Before completing a full sequence, he surfaced for air, then dove back to the bottom to continue his Six Annihilating Lances.
Mountain Pillar Seal, Flowing Water Pierce...
Especially Flowing Water Pierce. With a single thrust, water currents swirled, condensing vital force that spiraled around the spear shaft.
Sudden understanding flashed through his mind.
He continued refining Flowing Water Pierce, carefully sensing water's subtle shifts. His Mountain Sundering technique also transformed, its previously brutal force now acquiring a gentle quality.
Hard and soft intertwined!
Though he surfaced repeatedly for breath, his organs endured constant compression and injury.
"Keh keh~"
Coughing violently on the poolside, blood splattered from his mouth. But immediate waves of coolness surged through his chest, rapidly healing the damage.
He felt his heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys growing stronger as the tempering balm worked alongside his training. His Vital Energy Stat steadily increased.
[Your internal organs are compressed through underwater training. After consuming Five-Element Organ Tempering Balm, your organs strengthen. Vital Energy Stat+1, Vital Energy Stat+1...]
Lin Qi watched his Status Panel as the stat climbed. Though each increase was small, the continuous gains added up.
He inhaled deeply and dove back in, resuming his spear practice.
After several hours, Otherworld's sky darkened.
"Haa~"
Dripping wet, Lin Qi lay on the poolside, realizing he'd trained all day.
The Five-Element Organ Tempering Balm's effects lingered. Though his organs still ached, they visibly recovered before his eyes.
He fixed his gaze on the Status Panel. Now...
[Consuming Five-Element Organ Tempering Balm while training underwater has transformed your organs. Vital Energy Stat significantly increased. Vital Energy Stat+50]
[Through underwater training, you've grasped water's fluidity. Though gentle, water holds infinite variations. Grand Scenic Aesthetic transformation greatly enhanced!]
[Vital Energy Stat: 610→660]
Lin Qi stood, smiling at his increased stat.
Fifty points in one go! His liver tempering reached halfway, nearing perfection for the third small stage.
Ten minutes later, freshly washed and wearing martial arts robes, Lin Qi entered the living room. He began devouring level-five Nutritional Meals.
Today's training had drained immense physical energy.
Reflecting on his practice, he acknowledged Teacher Mu Hong's advice. Underwater training boosted both spear techniques progression and organ tempering efficiency.
Combined with the Five-Element Organ Tempering Balm, the synergy was incredible.
Two more jars remained. Continuing underwater spear practice would soon push him to Fifth Realm's peak.
Entering Heavenly Dome Institute, students found the competitive atmosphere intensified, though daily routines resembled their former schools.
General education classes continued alongside personal training. When mentors were unavailable, video lessons or consultations with senior martial artists sufficed.
Lin Qi added several Eighth Stage spear experts on his Weixun. With Mu Hong absent, he could still seek guidance elsewhere.
A week passed quickly, bringing August's final day - August 31st.
[Heavenly Dome Institute Second-Year (55)]
[Dean Liu: Month's end. Disaster Beast Trial Tower rewards are settling. Remember to claim yours.]
[Wan Ming: Wonder what rewards we'll get!]
[Xia Lian: +1]
While training in the Martial Arts Hall, Lin Qi eagerly awaited his rewards.
"Master, your rewards and subsidies have arrived!" Xiaochan's black-haired form announced as holographic notifications projected around her.
Lin Qi checked first his monthly 30 million Xia Kingdom Currency subsidy.
[Lin Qi, due to your outstanding performance in the Heavenly Dome Institute Disaster Beast Trials, ranking third among Sophomores, you receive 30 million Xia Kingdom Currency bonus.]
[1,200 kilograms of Grade-7 Disaster Beast flesh awarded as reward. Please note...]
Seeing 1,200 kilograms of Grade-7 flesh surprised him.
Grade-7 Disaster Beasts were usually mountainous, over 20 meters tall. Terrestrial beasts weighed at least 150 tons, elephant-types reaching 400 tons. Even avian types weighed nearly 100 tons.
Receiving 1.2 tons at once was substantial. After removing bones, organs, and blood for elixirs, a single beast provided significant meat.
With 181 Awakened geniuses at Heavenly Dome Institute, they'd likely consume multiple Grade-7 beasts.
His phone buzzed - Dean Liu's message appeared.
[Dean Liu: Everyone's received rewards. Let me explain the rules.]
[Higher rankings earn more flesh. Rankings follow overall standings.]
[Top ten in each grade receive additional rewards.]
Lin Qi understood, then saw Dean Liu's attachment.
[Top 3 overall: Several tons of Grade-7 flesh plus hundreds of kilograms of Grade-8 flesh. Bonus: ~100 million.]
[Top 10 overall: Several tons Grade-7. ~50 million.]
[Top 50 overall: ~1 ton Grade-7. ~30 million.]
[Top 100 overall: 500kg Grade-7. 20 million.]
[Top 181 overall: 300kg Grade-7. 15 million!]
The group buzzed with reactions.
[Wan Ming: 300kg of flesh? What a windfall!]
[Grade-7 flesh contains Primordial Energy and nutrition several times denser than Grade-6. Even a small piece nearly overwhelmed me as a child!]
[Grade-7 flesh is hardly available. Senior martial artists hoard it for elixirs or personal consumption.]
[Grade-8 flesh is used in top-tier elixirs. Never expected us juniors to access this!]
Most nodded, their families of senior martial artists understanding the rarity.
Lin Qi, however, remained curious about the precise Primordial Energy content.
The next morning,
"Rumble!"
A white truck halted at Villa 36, Xingxiu Residence. Two burly workers disembarked, directing smart robots to unload ten suitcase-sized white metal boxes.
Lin Qi signed the tablet offered by the muscular worker, confirming receipt of his 1,200kg Grade-7 flesh.
Inside the villa, he opened a box. Cold air wafted out, revealing frozen meat blocks. Each box held 100kg across twelve total.
"Xiaochan, start cooking! Roast meat feast today!"
"Understood, Master!"
Xiaochan directed robots to slice and grill the flesh. While robots lacked human cooking finesse, their efficiency served the task.
Minutes later, sizzling meat arrived in the living room. Lin Qi grabbed a piece, dipped in sauce, and bit in. Fresh, chewy, delicious.
His appetite surged.
An hour later, 100kg of roasted meat vanished - his first unrestrained feast!
His belly warmed, heat radiating as organs accelerated function, Vital Energy surging to nourish his internal systems.
His body automatically absorbed the nutrients.
Eyes gleaming, he strode to the Martial Arts Training Hall, donned his robes, seized his spear, and unleashed his newfound energy.
Power surged through his blows.
"Shiuu! Shiuu!"
Every movement drained no energy. His organs absorbed the flesh's essence as Vital Energy Stat skyrocketed.
[Consuming Grade-7 Disaster Beast flesh nourishes organs. Vital Energy Stat significantly increased. Vital Energy Stat+1, Vital Energy Stat+1, Vital Energy Stat+1...]
