Chapter 449: 3x Combat Power Boost
Chapter 449: 3x Combat Power Boost (Requesting Monthly Vote)
“Beep!”
A string of data flashed rapidly on the electronic screen — “150,812kg!”
Lin Qi felt his fist’s power was terrifying enough to shatter a small mountain.
Seeing the number, he grinned. 150,000 kilograms of fist strength — 150 tons.
Calculating quickly, his fist strength had increased by 2.95 times — not quite triple, but close. Once he mastered Golden Radiance, unleashing three times his strength would be effortless.
He was certain — his combat power had already tripled! With his body constitution, adding another fold of strength would make his spear techniques even more devastating.
“Test speed next!”
Lin Qi approached the speed tester, determined to test it twice.
“Whoosh!”
He shot from the starting line to the finish like a bolt of lightning.
“Beep!”
The electronic screen displayed — “111m/s!”
Lin Qi nodded, returned to the start, his body radiating golden light. Activating his special ability, he exploded forward again.
“Hiss!!”
A golden streak vanished from sight, leaving afterimages rippling in the air.
“Beep!”
This time, the screen showed a massive jump — “327.4m/s!”
Perfect. Exactly triple speed. His special ability Golden Radiance granted mastery over sharpness, but its specialty was speed. Strength increased 1.5x, speed 2x.
Golden Edge focused on strength, with slightly slower speed gains. Now that he had both Golden Edge and Golden Radiance stacked, his power and speed were balanced — creating even greater destructive potential.
Lin Qi mused that his next awakening had a 90% chance of being Adamantine Body, allowing him to become perfectly balanced and reach his peak combat power.
He glanced at his status panel:

...
Reviewing his stats, Lin Qi felt confident about today’s Global Martial Arts Championship. Even if his opponent was a Seventh Realm martial artist, he believed he could win.
He checked the time and asked Xiaochan to prepare breakfast. Twenty minutes later, he entered his white neural pod, logged into Scarlet Realm, and joined the championship venue.
...
“Buzz!!”
With a humming sound, Lin Qi materialized at the competition site.
“Brother Qi!” Jiang Tao greeted him. Others joined, all confident in Lin Qi’s strength.
Chu Yu, who had been defeated by Lin Qi before, still hadn’t abandoned his goal of surpassing him. But now, the gap felt wider. Looking into Lin Qi’s eyes, he instinctively shuddered — fear creeping in.
Lin Qi nodded, noting Chu Yu’s reaction. This was still a virtual world — his aura wasn’t fully simulated. In reality, his presence had transformed.
He focused on the arena’s giant screen, where cheering messages scrolled for each nation’s competitors. Excited chatter echoed from distant spectators.
...
“Buzz buzz!!”
At exactly 8:00 AM —
Mountain and River King’s projection emerged. His thunderous voice reached every competitor:
“Welcome to Round 5 of the Global Martial Arts Championship.
After five days, we’ve narrowed it to the top 250.
Today, we’ll determine the ultimate champion from these 250!”
In the Bear Republic zone, Ivan — a tall, broad-shouldered man with a prominent nose — smiled confidently. He was the only Sss-Rank Genius in his year to reach the Seventh Realm. Victory was his.
In the Tianzhu Kingdom section, a muscular, bald man with dark skin sat silently. His eyes were like frozen glaciers.
“Niting, our hopes rest on you,” a woman beside him said.
Niting nodded. “I will become a Nine Realms Martial Artist and save Tianzhu.”
On the White Eagle Federation’s stands, a 2.3m black man named Genos embraced his blonde girlfriend, a grin spreading across his face. “Even if Ivan’s in the Seventh Realm, my Earth Wall ability counters Psychoflux Wielders. He can’t break my defense.” The woman nestled against him, her voice warm with conviction. “Genos, you’ll win.”
“Even if Ivan’s in the Seventh Realm, my Earth Wall ability counters Psychoflux Wielders. He can’t break my defense.”
“Genos, you’ll win,” the woman smiled.
In the Xia Kingdom section, Shen Heng clenched his fist. Victory was his.
Nearby, Lin Qi remained calm, his mind undisturbed.
...
Mountain and River King continued:
“Round 5 begins — 250 to 125. Only half advance.
The 125 finalists receive 130 million Xia Kingdom Credits and 3000kg of Level 7 Disaster Beast meat!”
With a wave, a grand scenic aesthetic materialized — 125 battles represented by ink-painted taijitu patterns.
Millions watched the matchup list. Lin Qi scanned and memorized all 125 matches instantly.
Match 5: Lin Qi (Xia Kingdom) vs Tracy Campbell (Silver Rank Federation)
...
Lin Qi exhaled. Finally facing an Sss-Rank Genius.
Tracy Campbell, from the White Eagle Federation, had awakened Golden Radiance — sparring with her might deepen his mastery of the same ability.
Victory, however, was certain.
...
On the White Eagle Federation stands, Tracy Campbell — golden-haired, blue-eyed, and elegant — smiled.
“Finally battling Xia Kingdom’s Lin Qi. I’ll eliminate him in Round 5.”
Havel beside her warned, “Don’t underestimate him. Lin Qi’s strength isn’t easy to handle.”
Tracy tilted her long neck confidently. “SS-Rank vs Sss-Rank — he doesn’t stand a chance. If SS could beat Sss, he wouldn’t be SS-Rank.”
Havel fell silent. Before losing to Lin Qi, he’d thought the same.
...
Round 5 began.
Lin Qi watched the battlefield — a ruined Disaster Beast battlefield where two Sixth Realm martial artists clashed with special abilities.
Only the strongest remained — Jiang Tao, Yu Zhuoran, Li Hanjiang, Viktor, Havel, and other SS-Ranks with Minor Divine Abilities. Most would fall here.
Fifteen minutes later —
“Pfft!”
Jiang Tao’s stone armor shattered. Blood sprayed as a 1.75m Sakura Kingdom man sneered, “Too weak, Xia Kingdom trash! Train a hundred years before challenging me!”
Jiang Tao glared, fury rising — but he dissolved into nothing.
Match 4: Hattori Takaya (Japan) wins!
Back on the stands, Jiang Tao fumed. “That Sakura dwarf's too arrogant — wait a year, and I'll crush him!"
Chu Yu comforted, “You’ve improved. In two years, you’ll compete for the title.”
Jiang Tao turned to Lin Qi. “Brother Qi, if you face Hattori, beat him half-dead.”
Lin Qi stood, smiling. “I’ll deliver.”
“But first, I’ll handle Tracy and clear Round 5.”
Jiang Miaoyin, her features delicate, smiled. “With Lin Qi’s strength, Tracy’s an easy win. After all, even Chu Yu lost to him.”
Lin Qi nodded. Crimson light enveloped him, shooting him skyward like a meteor to the arena.
“Boom!!”
The crimson light pillar dissipated, revealing two figures 20 meters apart.
Tracy Campbell — golden hair, blue eyes, 1.8m tall — radiated sharpness in her golden battle suit, wielding a sword with natural confidence.
She tilted her chin up, her aura radiating innate arrogance.
