Chapter 589: Chapter 533: Tier Four Perfection and Spiritual Breakthrough

Residential Area, Room 206

The black alloy door slid open silently. Lin Qi stepped inside and asked Little Chan to start preparing lunch.

He then started taking notes.

He needed to write down the flood of insights in his mind and then verify them through his Spear Technique practice.

「An hour later.」

After lunch, Lin Qi returned to the Martial Arts Room and changed into his Martial Arts Uniform. A large number of Cultivation Notes appeared on the projected panel.

He carefully reviewed them once, and as the insights flooded his mind again, his hands began to itch with the eager desire to test them.

He immediately took the Black Gold Spear from the wall and began his Cultivation.

He began to execute the Mountain and River Spear Technique.

Having consumed 1,000 kilograms of Level 9 Disaster Beast Flesh and Blood, his body was absorbing its essence.

He was bursting with vigorous energy, which he channeled into his spear practice.

SWISH! SWISH!

HISS! HISS! HISS!

Lin Qi executed his Spear Technique without mobilizing his Gang Power, using only pure physical strength.

The Black Gold Spear pierced the air, letting out a roar as it tore through it.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The swinging shaft of the spear stirred up fierce gusts of wind as it cut through the air.

BOOM!

A phantom image of mountains and rivers appeared behind Lin Qi, and the teachings of the King of Mountains and Rivers surfaced in his mind.

The Mental Realm is formless; it is the power of all natural things between heaven and earth.

Lin Qi could feel this power empowering him.

Under the influence of the Mental Realm, the cells in his body also began to move violently.

Lin Qi controlled the Mental Realm, compressing it in sync with the movement of his body’s cells.

’This is the feeling...’

His mind raced as insights into the Mountain and River Spear Technique continuously surfaced.

The Power of Heaven and Earth surged into his body. His control over the Mental Realm and his cells grew stronger, affecting the area within a one-meter radius around him.

The Mountain and River Realm was transforming, like a baby growing into a child.

But it hadn’t fully matured yet. At most, it had aged by another year.

...

「Two hours later.」

HUFF!

CLANG—!

Lin Qi, dressed in black, brought his spear to a halt. The hair at his temples fluttered as the fierce winds around him began to dissipate.

DRIP!

A bead of sweat dripped from Lin Qi’s forehead as his gaze locked onto the panel.

[Your body has absorbed Level 9 Disaster Beast Flesh and Blood. Your physical strength has increased. Qi and Blood Value +50.]

[You received guidance from the King of Mountains and Rivers and gained new insights into your Spear Technique. Your Spear Technique has improved, bringing you one step closer to Tier Five Spear Technique. Spear Technique +2%.]

[Qi and Blood Value: 8650 → 8700]

[Spear Technique: Tier Four 97% → Tier Four 99%]

...

Lin Qi looked at his Spear Technique stat and nodded to himself. It had finally reached Tier Four Perfection.

He was just a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to Tier Five Spear Technique.

In this regard, he was similar to Gu Jian. Gu Jian had just broken through to the Eighth Realm, but his Swordsmanship hadn’t advanced yet.

They were at the same starting line.

’Master said that most Martial Artists or geniuses break through to the Eighth Realm first, and only then do their Martial Arts Skills advance.’

’It’s because after breaking through to the Eighth Realm, their Gang Power becomes stronger, their bodies transform, and the difficulty of controlling their cells decreases.’

’This makes it easier for their Skills to break through to Tier Five!’

Lin Qi thought to himself. But he was different.

His Spear Technique would most likely be the first to break through.

This was because completing the eighth, or even ninth, Blood Exchange was incredibly difficult.

Without several months of time, it would be impossible to successfully break through to the Eighth Realm.

Unless, of course, he could consume some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures during the process.

However, his Spiritual Power could break through ahead of schedule.

[Spiritual Power: 9700 (Seventh Realm)]

...

After continuously consuming the Top-Grade Soul Water, his Spiritual Power was even closer to the Eighth Realm.

He estimated he would be able to break through to the Eighth Realm very soon!

Lin Qi felt the power surging within him. He wasn’t very tired yet and could continue practicing his Body Technique.

He then threw himself into practicing his Body Technique.

...

Three days had passed since the last Super Large Disaster Beast Tide.

For the Black Dragon Base, it was rare to go so long without a Disaster Beast Tide.

Therefore, everyone had entered a period of quiet Cultivation to consolidate their gains.

The snow continued to fall, growing heavier and heavier. The base’s intelligent robots were clearing the accumulating snow every day.

In a large conference room, several Ninth Realm Martial Artists sat together, drinking tea and chatting idly.

The Purple Armor Overlord sat in the center. He lifted a cup of tea with his large hand, took a sip, and said gravely:

"On a whim today, I suddenly had a bad premonition."

"There hasn’t been a Disaster Beast Tide for three consecutive days!"

"All the other major bases in Xia Country are fighting off Calamity Beasts, but it’s been completely peaceful here."

"It’s like the calm before the storm. Perhaps an even bigger Disaster Beast Tide is waiting for us."

Hearing this, the other Ninth Realm Martial Artists’ expressions tightened, and the atmosphere in the room grew heavy.

If a Seventh Realm or even an Eighth Realm Martial Artist had said this, everyone would have just dismissed it.

But since these words came from the Overlord, Xia Country’s second-strongest expert, they had to be taken seriously.

The King of Mountains and Rivers asked seriously, "Should we request more Ninth Realm Martial Artists to come over?"

The Purple Armor Overlord lifted his teacup and shook his head.

"Not for now. It might just be my imagination."

"Many Martial Artists have come to the base recently to hunt Calamity Beasts, all for the Awakening Potion."

"With us here, even if a Tenth-Level Calamity Beast were to appear, we could kill it!"

"What we need to guard against is the Insect Race, and their assassinations!"

Everyone nodded. The Insect Race was their greatest concern.

The King of Mountains and Rivers nodded, but he was worried. Every time a Tenth-Level Calamity Beast appeared, the number of Martial Artists sacrificed was never small.

He suddenly thought of Lin Qi.

This time, anyone could be sacrificed, but not Lin Qi.

Because he was the future of Xia Country.

He had already made up his mind. As soon as a Disaster Beast Tide broke out, he would pay special attention to Lin Qi.

...

「Ten Thousand Beasts Restaurant, in a lively private room.」

The Split Rock Squad, joined by Lin Qi, sat inside—a group of eight in total.
