Chapter 513: The Team’s Cornerstone (Seeking Monthly Vote)
Boom!
Crack! Crack!
Within Black Dragon Base, countless armored vehicles bristling with firearms and olive-green tanks roared out of the compound.
They lined up in perfect formation, adjusting their cannons in unison to aim at the Spatial Gate.
These were the base’s final line of defense—tasked with eliminating Disaster Beasts that slipped past the martial artists.
Raaar!
Pft!
Liang Tai swung his massive spear, condensing his Vital Force into a glowing Long Spear that pierced the neck of a Fourth-Rank Disaster Beast—a Silver Rank Direwolf. Blood spattered across his face, only to disperse under his Vital Force’s pressure.
The beast’s corpse crashed down.
He glanced at Lin Qi, whose Long Spear remained spotless.
Whenever a Disaster Beast appeared, Lin Qi simply flicked his left hand, unleashing golden Steel Qi like arrows.
Even a Fourth-Rank Bronze Wild Ox would have its neck pierced instantly.
For any Disaster Beast, regardless of rank—it was one shot of Steel Qi. If it didn’t die? Another shot. Finish it.
While casually strolling, the surrounding Disaster Beasts were already eradicated. Effortless.
“Junior Brother, our squad’s next goal is to hunt as many fifth and sixth-tier Disaster Beasts as possible.”
“As for Level 7s—we keep our distance. Their Merit Points are high, but they’ll kill you.”
“If we spot a Level 7, we run. Fast.”
Listening to Liang Tai’s advice, Lin Qi nodded silently.
Looking around, he admitted the ruined structures here were perfect. Their small human frames could hide within, while larger Disaster Beasts struggled to detect them.
Raaar!
The air vibrated with guttural roars, mixed with the deafening explosions of laser fire and artillery.
“They’re coming!”
Liang Tai bellowed. A pack of massive Disaster Beasts emerged into view.
“Fifth-tier Clawrend Apes!”
“And sixth-tier Gold Rank Wolflords!” Xiao Yu exclaimed.
Eight beasts total—six Clawrend Apes and two Wolflords—rushed through the artillery barrage, locking onto the humans with cruel eyes.
Raaar!
Awooo!
“Kill them!!”
Senior Disciple Liang Tai charged first, meeting a Gold Rank Wolflord head-on with his spear raised.
Crash!
Second Senior Sister Wang Zhi Xuan, Xiao Yu, and Xi Jing each targeted a Clawrend Ape.
Lin Qi naturally went for the Wolflord.
He’d visualized this foe countless times in his Consciousness Realm cultivation.
Awooo!
The Wolflord—over ten meters tall—lunged, its razor-sharp claws blotting out the sky.
Whoosh!
Lin Qi vanished in a flash, dodging effortlessly.
Boom!
The ground cracked, deep claw marks gouged into the dirt.
Golden Radiance erupted from Lin Qi’s body as he channeled golden emperor Steel Qi—like golden rivers surging through his veins.
Coating his Blackgold Long Spear, he thrust forward. A golden spear beam erupted.
Hiss!
The beam pierced the Wolflord’s neck—the weak point.
In an instant.
Boom!
The Wolflord collapsed, blood gushing from its wound.
A metallic sphere in the sky captured the scene, verifying Lin Qi’s identity. Merit Points increased:
+500
Lin Qi smirked. Half the 1,000 points he owed were repaid.
His gaze shifted to the remaining Clawrend Apes.
Injecting golden Steel Qi into his spear, he fired three rapid beams at three different Apes.
Raaar!
One Ape sensed danger, swinging its fist.
Boom!
Blood sprayed. Flesh flew. The Ape roared, its broken bones visible through its shattered arm. Its body slammed into the ground.
As it staggered up, another golden spear beam struck.
Pft!
The beam pierced its neck. Blood gushed.
The other two Apes suffered the same fate—beams through their throats. Their corpses twitched before collapsing.
Merit Points +400
Merit Points +400
Merit Points +400
Lin Qi smiled at the three corpses. Another 1,200 points.
Seventh Realm versus fifth-tier beasts? Effortless. This was the power of Steel Qi.
Combining Special Abilities with Vital Force created a unique force—maximizing destructive power.
Previously, he’d need brute-force attacks, draining his stamina. Steel Qi? Far superior.
He’d learned—the better the corpse’s condition, the higher the Merit Points.
He aimed for neck cuts. Disaster Beast hearts were valuable—ruined hearts meant reduced points.
Imperial Military preferred intact corpses. Torn, mangled ones? Worthless.
Xiaochan projected their Status Panel.
Lin Qi studied it:
[Name: Lin Qi (Black Dragon Base)]
[Stage: Seventh Realm—Blood Transfiguration]
[Merit Points: 2,100]
[Base Rank: #406]
[Global Rank: #3,600]
…
His rank hadn’t budged in minutes. Even with 2,100 points, he remained at #406 in the base.
Earning points was too easy now.
His current strength could challenge Level 8 beasts head-on. Mid-tier Disaster Beasts were beneath him.
Yet his base rank stayed stagnant—#406. The lowest among 400+ High Realm martial artists here. Black Dragon Base truly was the planet’s strongest, with the most High Realm experts.
Awooo!
Liang Tai roared, unleashing his full strength. Vital Force surged through his body like a mountain’s weight, infusing his spear strikes.
The spear pierced the Wolflord’s neck.
Boom!
The Wolflord collapsed, its blood pooling.
Liang Tai exhaled. Killing a sixth-tier beast—even as an S-Rank Genius—without a Special Ability drained him.
Scanning the battlefield, he saw Wang Zhi Xuan finishing a Clawrend Ape. Xiao Yu and Xi Jing still fought.
Nearby, Lin Qi stood in his blackgold battle suit—unstained by blood.
Calm. Surrounded by corpses.
“Junior Brother’s strength is incredible. Sixth-tier beasts can’t threaten him.”
“With him, we can hunt many more today.”
Liang Tai knew Lin Qi would leave soon—perhaps tomorrow. Once he’d passed on his knowledge, Lin Qi would strike out alone.
Low and mid-tier martial artists needed teams. High Realm experts? Lone wolves.
Boom!
The final Clawrend Ape collapsed. Xiao Yu wiped sweat, sighing.
“Lin Qi’s power… incredible. We were the weak links.”
Lin Qi smiled—then his expression shifted.
“Xiao Yu—behind!”
Xiao Yu’s body stiffened, instincts screaming. A razor-sharp Steel Qi beam zipped past him.
Boom!
Raaar!
A violet-furred panther beast flew backward—shot through.
“Sixth-tier Shadow Striker Panther,” Xi Jing identified. “Specializes in ambushes.”
Xiao Yu glanced at Lin Qi, heart pounding. He’d nearly died.
Lin Qi’s perception was terrifying—detecting the Panther’s ambush the moment it struck. A single Steel Qi beam saved him.
Lin Qi lunged, his spear conjuring steel threads that condensed into a beam like artillery fire.
Pft!
Raaar!
The Panther sensed death, but escape was impossible. The beam moved like lightning—piercing its chest. Instant kill.
Merit Points +800!
Liang Tai approached, grim. “Most beasts charge head-on. But some—like the Panther—are speed specialists. Ambushers. One hit from them, and you’re dead.”
Lin Qi nodded. The Panther’s ability to suppress its aura was exceptional.
Ruins hid humans, but some beasts used them too.
Raaar!
Before they could catch their breath, more roars shook the battlefield.
Boom!
The ground trembled. Fifteen wolf-like beasts emerged.
“Gold Rank Wolflords and Bloodrage Wargs—fifteen total. We take them down!”
Liang Tai charged, the squad following.
Previously, they’d retreat from such odds.
But with Lin Qi? They were bold now.
Shoosh!
Six figures blurred in from the side—another squad joining the hunt.
But suddenly—
Raaar!
“Damn—six Ironspine Warbears!”
From the shadows, six hulking, gray-furred warbears charged.
Lin Qi smirked. On the battlefield, Disaster Beasts never ran out. No time to compete for kills.
Boom!
Pft!
Lin Qi’s golden spear beam pierced two Bloodrage Wargs at once.
An Ironspine Warbear charged, but Lin Qi skewered its neck with three precise strikes.
Boom!
A red-clad woman crashed from the sky, her tall frame trembling.
Spotting the squad, she roared through gritted teeth:
“Run!
Level 7 Disaster Beasts are coming!”
As her words fell, two earth-shaking roars erupted like sonic cannons.
Boom!!
The ground quivered. Two colossal figures emerged from the dust—
