Star Cultivation Mansion No. 36
It was already noon when Lin Qi entered the living room, followed closely by Xiaochan. After upgrading to a new liquid metal body, Xiaochan’s agility had improved dramatically. The effects of the 3x gravity environment on them were now steadily diminishing.
Their presence gave Lin Qi a strong sense of security. He no longer had to worry about someone like an Eighth Stage expert suddenly appearing to assassinate him.
“Sizzle!”
A rich aroma wafted from the dining table, where several large dishes had been arranged.
Lin Qi sat down and began lunch.
Half an hour later, after finishing the 100 jin (≈50kg) of Grade 8 Disaster Beast flesh, he felt a satisfying fullness in his stomach.
Returning to the Martial Arts Training Hall, he changed into his cultivation robe and retrieved a bottle of transparent Blood Flesh Harmonizer from the smart cabinet.
Feeling his body temperature rise, he crossed his legs and prepared to begin cultivation.
Over the past month, he had nearly finished consuming all the Disaster Beast flesh rewards from the Global Martial Arts Championship and the Disaster Beast Trial Tower. Once this latest batch of Trial Tower rewards was processed, he planned to ship them all home.
“Buzz!”
After consuming the Blood Flesh Harmonizer, Lin Qi proceeded with his regular Marrow Training. The essence extracted from the Grade 8 Disaster Beast flesh was even more potent. With the stimulant’s help, his internal organs functioned at a dramatically enhanced capacity, without side effects.
His stomach worked rapidly, heating up as it digested the flesh. Lin Qi adjusted his breathing, circulating Vital Energy to cleanse his bone marrow. In his perception, the red-and-yellow marrow had become crystal clear, as pure as frost and snow, free of impurities.
It flowed swiftly through his bones, producing blood cells and unlocking his body’s potential.
He had already achieved the “frost-like marrow” stage. For ordinary prodigies—even Sss-Rank Geniuses—this would be equivalent to completing Marrow Training.
Yet Lin Qi continued pushing his Spiritual Power deeper, like a magnifying glass, constantly zooming in.
He still sensed tiny impurities embedded in his bones. These were the hardest to remove, deeply mixed within the marrow. Left unchecked, they could cause long-term harm to his body.
If he wanted to elevate his Body Constitution, these impurities needed complete eradication. Lin Qi had an instinct that leaving them behind would hinder future cultivation. At higher cultivation stages, they might become permanently fused with his marrow, impossible to remove.
Driven by two Special Abilities, his Vital Energy surged like high-pressure water jets, scouring his bones relentlessly.
Throughout the process, the Blood Flesh Harmonizer accelerated digestion. Lin Qi’s body burned intensely, transforming pain into progress through continuous evolution.
——Four Hours Later——
“Haaah!”
Lin Qi exhaled deeply, expelling toxins from his organs. His body relaxed as Vital Energy flowed freely through every limb.
Wiping away sweat, he stood slowly. His breaths came evenly, his body feeling light despite the massive meal. The Grade 8 Disaster Beast flesh had been nearly fully digested, leaving no bloated sensation.
【You consumed 100kg of Grade 8 Disaster Beast Flesh and a Blood Flesh Harmonizer, completing four hours of Marrow Training. Marrow quality improved. Vital Energy Stat increased by 50】
【You completed a rigorous cultivation session. Fusion Rate increased by 0.1%】
【Vital Energy Stat: 3800→3850】
【Template: Erlang Shen Yang Jian】
【Fusion Rate: 30.9%→31%】
——
Lin Qi nodded at the interface. Over the past month, he had devoured over ten tons of Disaster Beast flesh and used ten bottles of Blood Flesh Harmonizers. After returning to Tianhai City, he’d need to restock.
Though he remained in the Seventh Realm’s late stage, his Vital Energy Stat growth hadn’t slowed. It was still skyrocketing. Currently, he was already comparable to a Sixth Realm Peak cultivator.
Graduates like Zhang Tianyang, Lei Shuang, and Fang Wu were all at this stage.
The remaining 150 Vital Energy Stat points would be difficult to bridge, but this level was sufficient. Once junior class resumed next semester, he’d begin preparations to breakthrough to the Seventh Realm.
——
He switched to his Status Panel.
【Name: Lin Qi】
【Template: Erlang Shen Yang Jian】
【Fusion Rate: 31%】
【Spiritual Power: 3980 (Sixth Realm)】
【Vital Energy Stat: 3850 (Sixth Realm)】
【Fist Techniques: Fourth-Circle 89%】
【Spear Techniques: Fourth-Circle 69%】
【Body Techniques: Fourth-Circle 65%】
——
Lin Qi stood, pulling an Energy Brew from the nearby fridge and drinking it in one gulp.
Over the past month, he’d used five Soul Waters, bringing his Spiritual Power dangerously close to the Seventh Realm threshold.
His Martial Spirit Techniques had improved slightly, though not as significantly as his Spiritual Power and Vital Energy.
This was normal. At higher stages, refining Martial Spirit Techniques became increasingly difficult. It required cultivating the underlying essence—without innate talent, even thousands of repetitions yielded minimal progress.
Finally, he glanced at his Template Fusion Rate.
He could already feel the slowdown in its growth. Simple hard training yielded diminishing returns. Only by advancing his Martial Arts Realm could he trigger another massive jump.
He sensed that his next Innate Talent would likely unlock at 40% Fusion Rate—and it might be far more powerful than his current ones.
At this moment, no talent on Earth could rival his collection of Innate Gifts.
Except for the Red Emperor. Lin Qi suspected the other’s Innate Talents had already surpassed the Sss-Rank threshold.
As long as he continued cultivating methodically, becoming the strongest martial artist in the world was only a matter of time.
...
Martial Dao Calendar, 2048 - June 2nd
At precisely midnight, the Final Exam officially concluded, bringing the Disaster Beast Trials to a close.
Onboard the Falcon Fighter, Lin Qi sat in a Smart Seat.
"Brother Qi, the rewards are out!" Jiang Tao exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement. Jiang Miaoyin nearby shared his enthusiasm.
Lin Qi pulled out his phone to check the messages.
[Congratulations, Lin Qi! Having placed first in the Heavenly Dome Institute's Disaster Beast Trial Tower, you will receive a reward of 130 million Xia Kingdom Currency.]
[Additionally, you will receive 5000 kilograms of Grade 7 Disaster Beast Flesh and 800 kilograms of Grade 8 Disaster Beast Flesh!]
After reviewing the rewards, Lin Qi nodded inwardly. While these were significantly smaller than the prizes from the Global Martial Arts Championship, they offered stability - a monthly income he could rely on for two years.
However, by the time those two years passed, he doubted even this sum would impress him anymore.
Deciding quickly, he selected the species for his Grade 7 Disaster Beast and changed the delivery address to Yujing Haoting Residential Complex in Tianhai City.
Since the delivery location was on Blue Planet, specifically Tianhai City, he needed to add 500,000 Crimson Heaven Points as transportation fees.
"With this reward, I can definitely break into the top twenty next semester", Jiang Tao said eagerly.
Dressed in a specially tailored cyan robe, Jiang Miaoyin smiled teasingly. "Big Brother, you're so unambitious! My goal is the Top Ten."
Jiang Tao chuckled, "Then my target will be the top ten as well."
Lin Qi smiled as well. With graduation, the class had thinned from over 170 students to around 140. Rankings had shifted dramatically.
Jiang Tao now stood at 30th place. With a full year before the next Global Martial Arts Championship, his recent breakthrough to Fifth Realm cultivation, combined with Heavenly Dome Institute's superior training environment, positioned him well for rapid advancement.
With a year's time, he could easily reach Sixth Realm and compete for the championship title.
Jiang Miaoyin lagged slightly behind, but among freshman ranks, she already held second place after Wang Hailong.
Next semester, she would likely surpass the Sss-rank prodigy Wang Hailong.
With their exceptional innate talents, this sibling duo might even awaken their second special abilities.
Lin Qi's gaze drifted to another figure nearby - the tall, dignified Wu Lingyun, former Tianhai Martial Arts Sub-Pavilion Master and current Southern Region Inspector.
Returning to Tianhai City, Wu had specifically accompanied Lin Qi to ensure security.
...
Two Hours Later
Yujing Haoting Residential Complex, Tianhai City, Cang Province
"Boom!!"
"He's here!"
On the plaza, Yue Feng stood in a crisp suit, his voice calm. Beside him, Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi watched as a massive shadow approached, stirring whirlwinds.
As the crimson Falcon Fighter descended onto the plaza, gathering residents looked on curiously as its cabin door opened.
"Who's this returning? Even Pavilion Master Yue Feng came personally to greet them?" someone wondered aloud.
"You're new here, aren't you?"
"Don't you know? It's Lin Qi!"
"Lin Qi - our Sss-rank prodigy and champion of the 35th Global Martial Arts Championship! He defeated multiple Sss-rank geniuses!"
"He's Cang Province's pride - the future Nine Realms Martial Artist."
"It's an honor sharing a residential complex with him."
"Didn't you notice all those senior martial artists waiting in the distance to greet Lin Qi?" a voice explained.
"Whoa!"
"Now I understand why property prices here skyrocketed recently."
"Tianhai City has many luxury residential complexes, but only Yujing Haoting's prices soared."
"They say Lin Qi's our city's first Sss-rank prodigy!"
As murmurs spread, the aircraft's cabin door slowly opened. Lin Qi emerged first, dressed in a black-gold robe.
"Xiaoqi!"
"Mom, Dad!"
Lin Zhen greeted with a beaming smile.
Lin Qi returned the grin. "Father, Mother!"
Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin followed closely, with Wu Lingyun disembarking last.
"Lin Qi, you've returned safely at last", Wu Lingyun said. "Contact me or Yue anytime if you need help."
Lin Qi nodded gratefully. "Thank you for the escort, Uncle Wu."
After parting ways with Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin, Lin Qi returned home.
In the living room, Lin Zhen studied his son with awe.
"Never did I expect my son Lin Zhen would become an Sss-rank prodigy!"
The aura emanating from his son was thick and domineering - mightier than any senior martial artist he'd ever encountered.
When Yue Feng first mentioned Lin Qi winning the Global Martial Arts Championship, he and Fang Huiyi had thought it a joke. Only after confirming the news had they realized the truth.
An Sss-rank prodigy - destined to become a Nine Realms Martial Artist, one of Xia Kingdom's most powerful beings. In smaller nations, such figures could even surpass presidents in influence, shaping entire nations' fates.
Their family producing such a prodigy? Their ancestors' graves must be practically smoking with blessings.
