Chapter 507: A Young Man Arrives at Black Dragon Base! (Requesting Monthly Vote)
“Roar!”
Lin Qi’s eyes snapped open, and a vortex of violent winds erupted around him, as if a tiger’s roar had shattered the silence.
Golden Steel Qi erupted from his body, swirling around his skin like liquid radiance.
[You’ve completed a Primordial Energy Cultivation session. Your physical strength has undergone transformation. Vital Energy Stat +100]
[Vital Energy Stat: 4,900 → 5,000]
…
Lin Qi gazed at the updated stats on his Status Panel and nodded inwardly.
Without the Golden Emperor’s Secret Canon cultivation technique, a single session would have only increased his Vital Energy by around 30 points.
With his martial arts expertise and top-tier innate talent, his cultivation efficiency was several times that of ordinary geniuses. Over time, this compounded into an insurmountable gap between him and other prodigies.
He stared at the golden Steel Qi radiating from his arm — a force so sharp that ordinary steel would disintegrate within two centimeters of his skin.
He had become something beyond human. The only thing separating him from being a literal superhero like his world’s “Supes” was the inability to fly.
After packing his belongings — swapping clothes and grabbing cultivation resources — he left the rest behind. The Grade 7 and 8 Disaster Beast flesh he’d carried? Devoured completely.
Once he reached the battlefield, high-grade beast flesh would be plentiful. Rumor had it that killing a Grade 7 beast meant claiming its flesh, which could weigh dozens of tons — more than enough to satisfy anyone.
Moments later, a smart robot rolled two massive suitcases to the villa’s entrance. A crimson Falcon Fighter jet waited silently outside, its hatch opening to reveal Dean Liu in a white robe.
“Let’s go.”
Lin Qi nodded. Xiaochan materialized a physical form to carry the luggage aboard the fighter.
“Vrrrrrm!!”
The hatch sealed shut as the red jet ascended, streaking toward the Spatial Gate and carving a white contrail across the sky.
Back at Heavenly Dome Tower’s third-floor lecture hall, Jiang Tao watched the fighter vanish.
“Brother Qi’s off.”
Wan Ming chimed in, “We’d better step up our training. With Brother Qi’s talent, it won’t be long before we see him in the headlines.”
Jiang Tao nodded, silently vowing to grow stronger. His second Special Ability seemed to be gestating in his body. Soon, he’d wield two powers of his own.
Inside the Falcon Fighter, Dean Liu leaned back in his seat.
“Your courses have been paused, but you can still access them online.”
Lin Qi shook his head. “I’ve already finished all the junior and senior-year lectures.”
“Good,” Dean Liu said, then continued, “Next, I’ll brief you on Bei Jiang Province.”
Lin Qi listened intently. Understanding this new battlefield could mean the difference between life and death.
…
Bei Jiang Province lay at Xia Kingdom’s northernmost border. Due to its vast size, surrounding territories had been abandoned by the nation, creating a population boom here. Now, it housed the kingdom’s largest human population — and the fiercest Disaster Beast invasions.
After over an hour’s flight, Lin Qi watched the fighter breach the border via his projected Status Panel. Below sprawled a colossal, dormant black steel beast stretching for kilometers.
“That’s our second line of defense,” Dean Liu explained. “If Disaster Beasts break through here, they’ll storm straight into our cities.”
He pointed ahead. “Our destination — Black Dragon Base — is the first line of defense.”
As the fighter soared past endless mountain ranges, the landscape suddenly opened up. From above, the War Base resembled a slumbering black dragon, its scale-like structures radiating oppressive energy.
The base formed a concentric circle, its 100-meter-high black alloy walls bristling with defense systems. Plasma turrets perched every hundred meters — among Earth’s most devastating thermal weapons.
Beyond the wall: a wasteland of bloodstained earth, cratered ruins, and countless Disaster Beast corpses being hauled away by gargantuan transport trucks. Battles still raged in some areas — beasts roaring as martial artists in powered armor slit their throats.
Lin Qi noted massive craters — some clearly made by high-level martial artists — and weapon marks still humming with residual intent.
Inside the base, zones were clearly demarcated: hangars, armories, barracks, and rest areas. Armored vehicles and fighters patrolled methodically, creating a complex yet orderly rhythm.
This was no longer a training ground like the Disaster Beast Hunting Competition. This was reality — where death could come at any moment, and survival meant carrying the weight of Xia Kingdom itself.
…
At Black Dragon Base’s sprawling airport:
“Rumble!!”
Engines thundered as fighters took off and landed. Green-uniformed soldiers and silver robots directed traffic.
The jet’s hatch hissed open, revealing several people below.
“Little Junior Brother!”
“Dean Liu!”
The group greeted three figures: Mu Hong in his black battle armor, his aura as sharp as ever; Liang Tai, the tall, broad-scaled senior disciple; and Wang Zhi Xuan, clad in a white combat suit. Their faces bore more battle-hardened ruthlessness than before, mirroring Master Mu’s ferocity.
“Master, Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister — long time no see.”
Mu Hong nodded. Liang Tai grinned. “Little Junior Brother, never thought we’d fight side-by-side so soon.”
They couldn’t help but marvel — last they met, Lin Qi had been a Fifth Realm martial artist. Now? A Seventh Realm powerhouse — a realm so high, even Azure Firmament Martial Academy would offer him a teaching post.
Dean Liu interrupted, “Save the reunion for later. Let’s head to the rest area.”
…
“Little Junior Brother, first time at Black Dragon Base?” Liang Tai asked as Lin Qi pulled out his phone.
“Download this — the War Base Companion app.”
Lin Qi registered quickly, selecting “Bei Jiang Province – Black Dragon Base” as his location. The interface displayed headlines:
“Nine-Headed Level 9 Disaster Beast Eliminated”
“Level 10 Disaster Beast Successfully Slain”
“Martial Artist Casualty Statistics”
Subcategories included shopping, dining, lodging, and forums — just as Liang Tai described.
“Accommodation’s cheap,” Wang Zhi Xuan added, “but rooms are tiny — just dozens of square meters. Upgrade costs a fortune. No way you’ll find a villa like our campus.”
Dean Liu chuckled, “Relax. I’ve prepared your quarters — the best suite in Black Dragon Base.”
…
Their footsteps echoed through metallic corridors until stopping at Room 266. Xiaochan shifted into a metallic orb, syncing with the wall panel.
“Just use your fingerprint from now on,” Dean Liu said.
The door slid open with a click, revealing a luxurious 500-square-meter suite — the base’s finest.
“Only Nine Realms martial artists get better,” Dean Liu added. “It’s stocked with everything, plus the highest primordial energy concentration in the base.”
Mu Hong continued, “We use Merit Points here.”
“Merit Points?” Lin Qi asked.
“Yes. You can buy basics with cash, but rare cultivation resources require Merit Points — earned by hunting Disaster Beasts. The War Base Companion app details the rates.”
He paused. “One Merit Point equals ten thousand Xia Kingdom credits, but you can’t convert credits back into Merit Points. Forces you to fight.”
So that’s why Life Water isn’t listed on Crimson Heaven Residence, Lin Qi mused.
…
After Liang Tai and Wang Zhi Xuan left, Dean Liu gestured to two black metal cases in the room.
“Check out your new armor and long spear.”
