Chapter 482: The Legendary Senior (Please Vote Monthly)
Lin Qi gritted his teeth, transforming into the Gold Rank Wolflord, and clashed with the final twenty sixth-grade Disaster Beasts.
He felt his spirit reaching its limit.
Driven by sheer will, he pushed his Spiritual Power Martial Art past its boundaries, seeking a breakthrough!
"Roar!"
The Ironspine Warbear, as massive as a hill, roared furiously and charged forward with thunderous steps.
Leaping high, it seemed like a mountain crashing down, its weight crushing the air itself.
"Awooooo!"
The Gold Rank Wolflord, having just snapped the neck of a Hundred-Fanged Dreadtiger, sensed the lethal threat and instinctively rolled aside.
He barely dodged the Ironspine Warbear's killing blow. Seizing the opportunity, he slammed his front claws into the ground, launched himself forward, and lunged with jaws wide open like a gaping abyss.
"Pluck!"
His razor-sharp fangs pierced the Warbear's neck.
"Roar!"
The Ironspine Warbear bellowed in fury, thrashing its body violently. A thick bear paw smashed into the Wolflord's side.
The paw shredded fur and flesh. Pain seared through Lin Qi's body, yet he held fast, his jaws clamped like a vice on the Warbear's throat.
This brutal stalemate lasted a full minute before the Warbear finally collapsed, strength utterly spent.
"Awooooo!"
The Gold Rank Wolflord raised its head toward the empty void and let out a triumphant roar, releasing its pent-up energy.
Then it too collapsed, reaching its limit, and dissolved into golden raindrops.
"Boom!"
The grayish mist representing Lin Qi's Spiritual Power suddenly expanded, spinning faster than ever.
"Hum! Hum!"
His Spiritual Power returned to reality. A violent tremor ran through his body as his mind swelled with pressure, followed by a sharp pain.
"Ahhh!"
"Boom!!"
Lin Qi couldn't help but cry out in pain—then, in an instant, the pain vanished. His consciousness felt clearer than ever.
Invisible energy surged from his Consciousness Realm, like countless tendrils spreading outward, enveloping every corner of the Martial Arts Training Hall.
With closed eyes, Lin Qi could "see" everything within the hall.
It felt as if he had invisible eyes, perceiving every object—the safe, the Punch Force Analyzer, the Speed Tester, the Punch Target, the Tiger Slaughter Long Spear mounted on the wall...
Every item was accounted for. He could reconstruct the entire Martial Arts Training Hall with his Spiritual Power.
"Huff!"
In an instant, Lin Qi opened his eyes and scanned the training hall. The physical space matched his Spiritual Power's perception exactly.
His mind raced, his senses heightened beyond measure.
"This... is the feeling of a breakthrough?"
"It's indescribably amazing."
Lin Qi smiled, the world in his perception now crystal clear.
He turned his gaze to his Status Panel.
[You consumed Soul Water Elixir, nourishing your spirit and supporting your cultivation of the Spiritual Power Martial Art《Annals of Calamities》. You spent three hours slaying one thousand sixth-grade Disaster Beasts.]
[《Annals of Calamities》perfected. Your Spiritual Power successfully broke through to the Seventh Realm. Spiritual Power+200.]
[Your Spiritual Power breakthrough increases your Template Fusion Rate by +0.5%.]
[Spiritual Power: 3999→4199.]
[Template: Erlang Shen Yang Jian.]
[Fusion Rate: 31.2%→31.7%.]
...
Lin Qi grinned at the numbers on his Status Panel.
He hadn't expected a single Spiritual Power breakthrough to increase his power by 200—this was a massive leap.
Even more satisfying was the Template Fusion Rate. This breakthrough had pushed it up significantly.
Normally, his hard work earned him only 0.1% Fusion Rate gains.
His future cultivation would follow this pattern—gradual gains through daily training, followed by massive Fusion Rate jumps during major breakthroughs.
Once Fusion Rate reached round numbers, his innate talent would evolve again, raising his Martial Arts Limit.
"Huff!"
He stood up. Now that his Spiritual Power had reached the Seventh Realm, it was time to focus on breaking through his Vital Energy Stat.
That would be far more difficult than Spiritual Power cultivation.
But he had ample Calamity Beast Flesh stores to support this next stage.
...
Time passed. The second day after Bangalore fell in the Tianzhu Kingdom.
The internet buzzed with activity.
The Xia Kingdom official website issued two announcements. The first formally named the ten-grade Disaster Beast that had destroyed Bangalore as "Sandy Emperor Lizard"—the first known ten-grade Disaster Beast.
The second announcement explicitly stated enhanced defenses for major war bases to counter future ten-grade threats.
Two days later, a new wave of attention overshadowed the Tianzhu Kingdom event.
The National College Entrance Exam had arrived!
June 7th—official start of exams.
June 8th—final day!
Lin Qi remained at his villa. His parents and Uncle Fang Zhe had grown busy too.
They intensified cooperation with the Xu Clan Group. With Disaster Beasts attacking relentlessly, Linhai Base never lacked for Beast carcasses.
The base's flesh cutters couldn't keep up, so Lin Qi's father recruited many old friends to join the effort.
Lin Qi, meanwhile, practiced driving in his neighborhood. Having obtained a license in his previous life, he quickly reacclimated.
He took the license test, and Yue Feng expedited the paperwork. By the next day, Lin Qi could legally drive.
...
Martial Dao Calendar, 2048, June 8th
8 PM—National College Entrance Exam ended officially in the afternoon.
Outside Tianhai No.2 High School's gate, Chen's Barbecue Shop hosted an elite class graduation party.
Fifty students crammed into the old shop, the air thick with laughter and youthful energy.
"I think I performed exceptionally well in the exam, maybe even top 1000 nationwide!"
"Top 1000? I'll break top 500!"
"But honestly, Le Qing will definitely place in the province's top five and top 100 nationally!"
"Right! Le Qing could easily crack top five!"
They praised a girl in a blue tracksuit with a short, sharp haircut, exuding confidence.
Zhang Cheng, broad-shouldered with a scarred face, watched the students from his seat. He shared a meal with other teachers, smiling at their joy.
These children were graduating. He realized it had already been three years since arriving at Tianhai No.2.
"Vibrate!"
His phone buzzed. A Weixun message made him smile.
"Teacher Zhang, you promised us a surprise, didn't you?"
Le Qing, sipping beer, suddenly asked, "Yeah, teacher—where's the surprise?"
The group erupted in cheers!
Zhang Cheng stood, laughing heartily. "The surprise is definitely coming—and they've already arrived!"
He turned. A black electric car pulled up outside.
Two figures emerged from the back seat.
A girl in a white tracksuit, tall and radiating vitality.
Beside her, a tall, muscular boy with dark skin and sharp features.
"It's Jiang Miaoyin and Jiang Tao!"
A student gasped.
"Jiang Miaoyin—last year's top scorer, national 25th in the National College Entrance Exam. Rumored to be an SS-Rank Awakened Genius!"
"Jiang Tao—her older brother, also a genius who became an SS-Rank Awakened Genius!"
"These are our school's legends!"
Another student spoke as everyone turned toward the parking lot.
The car door opened. A tall, athletic figure stepped out from the driver's seat, revealing striking features.
He wore a black tracksuit, his posture upright, proportions perfect, exuding unique charisma.
A blue metal sphere floated above his shoulder.
"It's Senior Lin Qi!!"
A boy shouted. The moment the words left his mouth, everyone stood.
As Lin Qi approached, memories of his legendary achievements flooded their minds.
Once ordinary, he rocketed past Tianhai No.2's geniuses in a single year.
He became Cang Province's top scorer in the National College Entrance Exam, breaking records to enter the national top ten.
At university, he surpassed even Awakened geniuses.
Now, he was Tianhai City's first Sss-Rank Genius—the future Nine Realms Martial Artist, the school's immortal legend, the idol of countless students, the genius teachers still talked about.
Now this legend stood before them.
The room exploded with excitement.
Zhang Cheng surveyed the crowd. "Surprise?"
"Surprise!" they roared.
Lin Qi smiled at everyone. "Hello, juniors!"
Lin Qi, Jiang Tao, and Jiang Miaoyin sat to enjoy the barbecue.
"Senior Lin Qi, I'm..."
"I'm your fan! Can I get your autograph?"
"Senior Lin Qi, tell me about life at Azure Firmament Martial Academy?"
The dinner had become a fan meeting. Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin found themselves largely ignored, which they seemed happy about as they chatted with teachers.
Zhang Cheng watched Lin Qi's back. This youth had surpassed even his wildest expectations.
Who could have imagined that an ordinary teenager would become an Sss-Rank Genius in just three years?
He remembered how shocked he looked when Yue Feng told him Lin Qi was an Sss-Rank Genius just half a month ago.
A colleague captured the moment—mouth agape in disbelief, later saying he'd never seen Zhang so astounded.
The party lasted two hours, ending at 11 PM.
When the crowd dispersed, only Lin Qi, Jiang Tao, and Jiang Miaoyin remained.
Drunk and slurring, Zhang Cheng said, "Lin Qi... the situation grows worse."
"Many comrades have fallen."
"You're an Sss-Rank Genius. You'll become the Nine Realms Martial Artist our Xia Kingdom needs!"
Lin Qi nodded. "I will."
He took a small obsidian steel case from his pocket.
"Teacher Zhang, thank you for your guidance."
"A gift for you!"
"This will heal your wounds. I hope you like it."
"We'll take our leave."
Lin Qi rose, Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin following.
Zhang Cheng stood alone, opening the obsidian steel case curiously. Inside sat a vial of green liquid.
Label: Supreme Healing Elixir!
