Chapter 502: Forging Steel Qi
Chapter 502: Forging Steel Qi (Requesting Monthly Votes)
Dean Liu sighed,
“Still, surpassing Li Tianxing and Sun Sheng might earn you some resentment from them.”
Lin Qi smiled. “They’ll come around eventually.”
Dean Liu laughed. “Good. That’s the confidence a true prodigy should have.”
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Qi and Dean Liu arrived at the airport with their luggage.
Director Fu, clad in a gray robe, arrived to see them off. Waving cheerfully, he said,
“Lin Qi, I’m sure I’ll see you on the battlefield soon!”
“Keep cultivating. Our Xia Kingdom is counting on you!”
Lin Qi nodded. Once the cabin door shut, he stowed his luggage and leaned back in the smart seat.
“Vroom!!”
The sleek red Falcon Fighter vibrated gently as it rose into the sky, heading toward the Heavenly Dome Institute, piercing through the clouds.
Looking out the window, Lin Qi watched the cylindrical black structure fade. It had barely been a month since he arrived at Beastblood Colossus—and now he was leaving again.
His biggest gain this time? Mastering the supreme martial art—The Golden Emperor’s Secret Canon.
With this, he could now advance to the peak of the Eighth Stage without worrying about martial arts cultivation. Following its methods, he would naturally ascend to become an Eighth-Stage martial artist.
He thought of Li Tianxing and Sun Sheng again. His next goal was clear: surpass these two top-tier geniuses.
Sitting opposite him, Dean Liu poured a glass of water and asked,
“Lin Qi, when do you plan to head to the battlefield?”
Receiving the water, Lin Qi replied,
“I’ll forge my Steel Qi first using advanced Primordial Energy cultivation before heading out.”
Dean Liu nodded. “With your innate talent, once you cultivate Steel Qi, you’ll be formidable even among Seventh-Realm martial artists.”
“Then we’ll march to the battlefield together!”
Lin Qi’s eyes lit up. “Dean Liu, are you planning to breakthrough to the Eighth Stage?”
Dean Liu smiled. “Thanks to you, I finally have a real chance.”
Hearing this, Lin Qi’s face broke into a grin.
……
At Heavenly Dome Institute, the dismissal bell rang.
“Boom!!”
A flood of students drove off campus in their electric cars.
“Rumble!!”
A Falcon Fighter streaked across the sky, leaving a white trail.
Such sights were routine for Heavenly Dome Institute.
But today’s aircraft was different.
“Jiang Tao, that plane just landed at Villa 9!”
“Isn’t that Brother Qi’s villa?” someone asked, puzzled.
Jiang Tao frowned. “Let’s check it out!!”
A group hurried to Villa 9. As they arrived, the Falcon Fighter stood grounded.
The cabin door opened, and Lin Qi stepped out.
As tall and striking as ever, clad in a black-gold robe, his aura was overwhelming. Though only a month had passed, his demeanor felt subtly transformed.
“Brother Qi!”
Jiang Tao greeted with a grin.
“Lin Qi-ge!”
Jiang Miaoyin rushed forward, calling out.
The crowd surrounded him, eager to catch up.
Lin Qi smiled at the familiar faces.
“Tao-zi, A Miao! Everyone, long time no see!”
Jiang Tao asked curiously, “Brother Qi, you’re back so soon?”
“Xu Qin said advanced Primordial Energy cultivation usually takes months—”
“Did something happen?”
Lin Qi chuckled. “Finished cultivating, so I came back.”
Dean Liu added, “Lin Qi completed his Beastblood Colossus cultivation.”
The group gasped. Wan Ming exclaimed, “No wonder Brother Qi’s amazing!”
They were stunned anew. They all knew Xu Qin had taken three months. Lin Qi did it in under a month.
And Shen Heng, another Sss-Rank genius, hadn’t even finished yet.
The gap was staggering.
Though all were Sss-Rank prodigies, Lin Qi had left them in the dust.
Seeing their shock, Dean Liu mused: They’d be even more amazed if they knew the full truth about Beastblood Colossus.
……
Half an hour later, the crowd dispersed.
In the spacious living room, Lin Qi dined with Jiang Tao and Miaoyin.
Jiang Tao shook his head. “Brother Qi, you’re getting more outrageous by the day!”
“I’m under so much pressure!”
Lin Qi chewed a slice of Level 7 Disaster Beast meat slowly. “Pressure’s normal. Haven’t you noticed others have given up trying to catch up?”
Jiang Tao nodded. Others, even Chu Yu, had stopped chasing him.
When the gap is small, there’s rivalry.
When it’s vast, you’re just staring at the other’s back.
He didn’t seek competition with Lin Qi—just to keep up with his footsteps.
After Jiangs left, Lin Qi, having eaten hundreds of kilograms of Disaster Beast flesh, went to the Martial Arts Training Hall.
His body felt warm, rapidly absorbing the essence. Sitting cross-legged, he closed his eyes and reviewed The Golden Emperor’s Secret Canon in his mind.
Now, he had mastered the advanced Primordial Energy martial art.
Next was forging his unique Steel Qi.
Flipping through the martial art’s pages, torrents of information surged in his mind.
The seventh chapter, Blood Transfiguration, detailed not just cultivation but also Steel Qi forging.
“Steel Qi is an advanced power!”
“Physical strength condenses into Vital Force, flowing like water within the body, unleashing immense damage.”
“When Vital Force merges with Primordial Energy as its vessel, it can leave the body, striking distant enemies.”
“Vital Force becomes Vital Spike through extreme compression, amplifying its destructive power.”
“But Steel Qi is a transformation—essence altering. A strand of Vital Force versus Steel Qi is night and day.”
“Like comparing a branch to steel!”
Lin Qi marveled at the essence transformation’s staggering difference.
He kept reading, faster than flipping pages, Xiaochan projecting his status panel for analysis and notes.
“Our race’s prodigies, as they age, develop innate talents through bloodline awakenings, genetic mutations, etc.”
“One such talent is controlling natural elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice…”
“Compressing Vital Force to the extreme, blending it with Primordial Energy to form a unique force, creates a qualitative change.”
“Adding natural forces completes the final step—forging Steel Qi!”
“This process isn’t easy. It requires immense spiritual power for precise compression, no room for error.”
“And mastery over natural forces is essential…”
After finishing, Lin Qi opened his eyes, beginning to record his insights.
