Chapter 587: Chapter 532: The King of Mountains and Rivers’ Guidance

...

November 21st. Snow was still falling over Black Dragon Base.

No one at the base paid it much mind. Once the war broke out and various heat-based weapons were unleashed, the snow would melt on its own.

Besides, the snow could also hinder the Calamity Beasts’ charge.

The buzz surrounding the arranged duel between Lin Qi and Gu Jian was still circulating throughout the base.

Some rumors had even reached Lin Qi’s ears.

Room 206, inside the Martial Arts Room.

A large, green screen materialized in front of Lin Qi, who was clad in a black robe.

His Eldest Martial Brother, Liang Tai, appeared on the screen, his face filled with excitement.

"Little Martial Brother, have you heard the news?"

"I heard that last night, Sunx Saint and Li Tianxing also managed to defeat Gu Jian and claim victory!"

"Do you think it’s true?"

Lin Qi replied, "It’s probably true."

He knew it was true, of course. Both Sunx Saint and Li Tianxing had sent him messages last night.

They had both confirmed their victories over Gu Jian.

It made Lin Qi sigh in admiration. ’They live up to their reputations as the two strongest geniuses.’

’To think they could also achieve victory over Gu Jian by Crossing Realms. Gu Jian has become nothing more than a stepping stone now.’

This also made Lin Qi feel the pressure.

Xia Country still had its share of top-level geniuses.

He wasn’t yet strong enough to dominate everyone.

His Eldest Martial Brother, Liang Tai, continued,

"Little Martial Brother, just a few minutes ago, the House of War restocked the Awakening Potions!"

"I’ve already bought a bottle. If I can’t Awaken this time, who knows how long I’ll have to wait!"

Lin Qi offered some encouragement.

"Eldest Martial Brother, you’re an S-class genius. You’ll definitely Awaken."

...

A moment later, his Eldest Martial Brother hung up.

Lin Qi stared into the empty air. ’Liang Tai called at a time like this seeking some psychological comfort.’

’He’s just a Sixth Realm Martial Artist who hasn’t Awakened yet.’

’Earning 200,000 Merit Points is no easy feat.’

’The effect of the Awakening Potion diminishes with each use. If he fails to Awaken on the second try, the probability of Awakening later will become even lower.’

Lin Qi picked up his phone and checked the group chat.

Aside from his upcoming battle with Gu Jian, everyone was discussing the Awakening Potions.

Every S-class genius on Blue Star was making a move.

This included the S-class geniuses from Lin Qi’s cohort, like Ruan Qian and Ruan Yu. Their families had already prepared the Merit Points and purchased several bottles of Awakening Potion for them.

They hoped the girls would Awaken in one go.

S-class geniuses had a high probability of Awakening.

The same couldn’t be said for geniuses of other classes.

However, it was said that Guan Shan, Guo Heng, Zhou Xiyin, and others were all preparing to use the Awakening Potions as well.

The news of the Awakening Potions sent the entire Xia Country into a frenzy.

In a few months, the number of students entering the Celestial Vault Institute would likely multiply several times over.

Lin Qi tidied himself up, grabbed his repaired Big Gun, and left his room.

WHOOSH!!

Gusts of cold wind whipped across his face in the hallway.

Outside the residential area, snowflakes drifted down from the sky.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but pure white snow, and numerous autonomous robots were busy clearing it away.

Dressed in his Black Gold Robe, Lin Qi radiated a faint heat. As snowflakes neared his body, they seemed to be deflected by an invisible ripple of power.

Lin Qi walked slowly through the open space.

He soon arrived at the entrance of a luxurious apartment, and the main door slid open silently.

A wave of warm air washed over him as he stepped into the antique-styled living room.

Two figures were drinking tea. One of them was tall and powerfully built, with an aura as solid and imposing as a mountain.

The other, dressed in a black robe, stood tall and straight.

"Master, Teacher!"

Lin Qi greeted them.

The two on the sofa were none other than the King of Mountains and Rivers and Mu Hong.

The King of Mountains and Rivers, with his imposing aura, nodded. "Ah, Lin Qi, you’re here."

"Come, have some tea."

Lin Qi nodded, entered the living room, and sat down across from the King of Mountains and Rivers, accepting a cup of hot tea from his teacher, Mu Hong.

He took a small sip, and a warm current flowed down his throat and into his stomach.

From there, it spread to the rest of his body.

Finally, it rushed to his brain. Lin Qi felt his mind become active, his thoughts accelerating.

"Excellent tea!"

Lin Qi praised.

The King of Mountains and Rivers also spoke slowly, "Of course it’s good tea."

"It can refresh the mind, temporarily enhance one’s Comprehension, and is of great benefit to the Cultivation of Martial Arts Skills."

Lin Qi nodded and drank three cups in a row.

His brain became unusually active and stimulated, as if countless insights were eagerly waiting to leap forth at any moment.

After finishing his last sip, the King of Mountains and Rivers stood up. "Let’s go."

Mu Hong and Lin Qi immediately rose to their feet as well, following the King of Mountains and Rivers into the Martial Arts Room.

This was an exceptionally spacious Martial Arts Room, a full 400 square meters, with ten Long Spears hanging on the walls.

Just from the cold gleam they emitted, Lin Qi’s Perception told him they were at least Tier Eight Long Spears.

The King of Mountains and Rivers took out one of them, a Silver Spear. Its sharp tip cut through the air, creating small wisps of wind.

He looked at Lin Qi and began to speak slowly.

"For the foreseeable future, I will be extremely busy."

"I won’t have much time to instruct you."

"So, while I have time today, I will explain how to break through to Tier Five and comprehend your own Domain!"

Lin Qi gripped his Black Gold Spear. His Spear Technique was already at Tier Four Late-stage—to be precise, 97% of the way through Tier Four.

He was only 3% away from achieving a Tier Five Spear Technique.

WHOOSH!!

The King of Mountains and Rivers brandished the Big Gun. Despite his burly frame, the Big Gun moved with exceptional agility in his hands.

He spoke slowly.

"A Tier Four Spear Technique is about the Mental Realm; its Cultivation is the cultivation of the Mental Realm’s power."

"You must constantly comprehend the Mental Realm within the Spear Technique and perceive nature during your daily Cultivation."

"Integrate the Power of Nature from the world around you to continuously strengthen the power of your Mental Realm, empowering your Spear Technique."
