Chapter 564: Chapter 524: Lin Qi’s Stage

Only then did it dawn on Lin Qi. The euphoric rush began to fade, replaced by a wave of exhaustion that washed over him.

He immediately pulled a Top-Grade Potion from a pocket on his Battle Armor and downed it in one gulp.

The fatigue in his body instantly receded.

THUMP!

Just then, Mu Hong appeared in a flash of Black Armor, his stern face devoid of expression.

But Lin Qi and the other two could all sense Mu Hong’s fatigue.

"Let’s head back."

The three of them nodded and started back toward the base.

Lin Qi glanced at the time. It was already 7:30 PM, and the sky had grown completely dark.

The moon had appeared from behind the dark clouds.

Only the rows of artificial suns hanging in the sky were left, once again illuminating the entire battlefield.

The Super Large Disaster Beast Tide was in its final stages.

Nine hours had passed since it began at 10:00 AM.

CLANK! CLANK!

RUMBLE!!

The number of Calamity Beasts on the battlefield dwindled. Swarms of transport vehicles and tower cranes moved in to begin the work of hauling away the beasts’ corpses.

They prioritized the corpses of the High-Level Calamity Beasts.

At the same time, droves of High-Level Martial Artists were also returning to the base. On the way, Pei Yiqing said her goodbyes and left with Pei Hongfeng.

Lin Qi parted ways with Dean Liu and his teacher, Mu Hong, after they entered the dormitory area.

Exhausted, Lin Qi returned to his own room, 206.

"Little Chan, make dinner!"

"Right away, Master!"

Lin Qi shrugged off his Black Gold Armor. After a full day of fighting, it was filthy.

WHOOSH!

In the shower, Lin Qi let the hot water cascade over his body as an intense wave of fatigue washed over him.

Now that he was finally relaxing, Lin Qi realized just how much stamina he had expended. A ravenous hunger and thirst flooded his senses.

A few minutes later, he stepped out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.

The air was filled with the aroma of a hot meal. Lin Qi quickly sat down at the table and took out several energy drinks.

He picked up his bowl and began to wolf down his food.

While he ate, he checked his personal information on the House of War.

[Name: Lin Qi (Black Dragon Base)]

[Realm: Seventh Realm Blood Exchange]

[Merit Points: 75,800]

[Base Ranking: 380 → 360]

[Overall Ranking: 3,550 → 3,490]

...

Lin Qi nodded to himself, pleased to see his rank had risen again.

’At this rate, I’ll break into the top 100 soon.’

’Earning over 70,000 Merit Points in a single day of fighting was easier than I expected.’

’One more Disaster Beast Tide and I can buy another Blood Spirit Potion.’

’Having taken one Blood Spirit Potion already, I’m really looking forward to the second one.’

Lin Qi thought back on the day’s battle. ’The battlefield really is the best place for me.’ Facing Seventh-Level Calamity Beasts hadn’t scared him; on the contrary, it had been exhilarating.

The Combat Power he’d unleashed had been far greater than usual.

「Half an hour later.」

Before he knew it, Lin Qi had consumed 1,000 kilograms of Level 8 Disaster Beast Flesh and Blood.

He felt like he was only about eighty percent full.

He returned to the Martial Arts Room and sat cross-legged. ’My appetite has grown again.’

Constantly using Gang Power in battle consumed a tremendous amount of stamina.

This left him ravenously hungry. Top-Grade Healing could restore his injuries, but it couldn’t sate his hunger.

But the greater the expenditure, the greater the gains!

HUFF! HUFF!

The temperature in the Martial Arts Room was set to an optimal 25 degrees Celsius, but Lin Qi felt hot. His body was running in overdrive, his cells frantically absorbing Source Energy.

So he closed his eyes and began his Cultivation of the High-Level Source Energy Technique—the Golden Emperor’s Secret Manual.

ROAR—

The Golden Emperor Tiger materialized within his Consciousness Space. Its majestic, enormous body made the very space around it tremble.

Even as a mere visualization, the Golden Emperor Tiger still radiated a mysterious aura.

The moment it appeared, the Golden Emperor Tiger opened its cavernous maw and began to frantically absorb the surrounding Source Energy.

His body grew cold as a large volume of icy energy entered him through his pores.

It felt as if Lin Qi had been plunged into an icy river, completely submerged in Source Energy.

A specific breathing pattern made the Source Energy within him circulate along a particular path, altering the movement of his very cells.

Lin Qi’s Spiritual Power delved deep into his cells, sensing their movement.

The Fifth Order Gun Skill required one to delve deep within the body and begin strengthening control over one’s cells.

Through continuous Cultivation, he was gradually beginning to master his cells, though he could only control a small portion of them for now.

Once he could fully master his cells and allow the influence of his Life Magnetic Field to emanate outward, he would break through to the Fifth Order Gun Skill.

They acted like a ravenous beast, voraciously devouring all Source Energy, sending his cells into a frenzy and covering his entire body to initiate a metamorphosis.

WHOOSH!!

Lin Qi was completely immersed, feeling exceptionally comfortable. It was like getting a spa treatment; his entire body relaxed.

His entire body erupted in a dazzling Golden Light, and the phantom of a giant golden tiger appeared behind him.

...

Two hours later, the Golden Light within the Martial Arts Room began to slowly fade.

Lin Qi opened his eyes. An invisible magnetic field radiated outward, its pressure creating a violent gust of wind.

Lin Qi slowly rose to his feet. Much of the food in his stomach had been digested, and a steady stream of power now flowed through his body.

[You have completed one session of Source Energy Cultivation. Physical strength has increased. Qi and Blood Value +150.]

[Qi and Blood Value: 5,500 → 5,650]

...

A smile touched Lin Qi’s lips as he looked at the data.

’Just as I thought. Fighting Calamity Beasts drives my body’s energy consumption, which makes my Cultivation afterward much more efficient.’

He then picked up his phone and placed another order on the House of War for 2,000 kilograms of Level 8 Disaster Beast Flesh and Blood.

’At this rate, it won’t be long before I’ll have to switch to Level 9 Disaster Beast Flesh and Blood.’

...

On August 22nd, the Super Large Disaster Beast Tide came to an end.

The Black Dragon Base began to clear the battlefield, transporting and butchering the Calamity Beast corpses. A portion of the haul was designated for internal use within the base.
