Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 399 Lin Qi's ranking (5000 words long chapter, please vote)
"Crack!"

With a loud bang, Lynch's strength and power were released through the spear, and the skull of the Blood Scale Iron Pillar was instantly shattered.

"Oh!"

Its strong body, like a heavy armored vehicle, was also blown away and smashed into the group of unicorn black pigs like a huge rock.

"Ho~ho~"

A total of five one-horned black pigs were hit, and the strong impact force broke their spines instantly.

As soon as the fight started, six disaster beasts died at the same time.

"Wow~"

At the same time, the Iron-Scaled Eagle swooped down like a black arrow. Lynch changed his gun moves, and his gun style changed from mountains to flowing water.

The black spear wrapped in golden energy pierced through the air, and the tip of the spear was as light as flowing water and stabbed out quickly!
"Mountain and River Spear Technique" - Flowing Water Stab!

"Puff~puff~puff~"

In an instant, Lynch stabbed frantically, dozens of times in a row. Within the limited space, the heads of the ten iron-scaled eagles were all pierced by the tip of the gun.

The blood splattered in the air, as beautiful as a blood flower.

“Bang bang!!”

The body of the Iron-Scaled Eagle fell to the ground, but Lynch's moves continued.

The shadows of guns flowed like a river, endless.

The gun moved like a river, fast, agile and changeable, but he was also confined to a fixed style.

"Puff~puff~"

Lynch felt the gun technique of this move and used it frantically.

At the same time, the "Thunder Shadow Instant Kill Step" was also performed.

"Puff~puff~puff~"

He broke into the black tsunami alone, entered an uninhabited area, and frantically hunted the disaster beasts.

At the same time, during the hunting process, his physical skills were constantly improving.

It was getting faster and faster, and his whole body seemed to be integrated into the lightning.

"Wow~"

"Whoosh~"

Until one moment, he looked at the Iron-Scaled Eagle, which was like a thousand arrows shot at once, and the fierce wind it raised raged on his face.

Lynch controlled his body like lightning, and in an instant he completely turned into lightning.

"Buzz!!"

Everything around was slowing down, the Iron-Scaled Eagle's movements were also slowing down, and the changes in air flow and temperature were extremely clear.

Lynch's body seemed to be surrounded by lightning for an instant.

Faced with the siege, he reacted in an instant, his gun shot out like a dragon, and the gun shadows were like flowing water, continuous and endless.

Water thorns!!

"Boooooooh!!"

"Puff~puff~puff~"

The gun shadows were bloody, reaping the lives of all the Iron-Scale Eagles.

[In the fierce battle, your agility "Raikage Instant Kill Step" has reached perfection, and you have realized the state of mind of Raikage. Your agility +10%]

[Agility: Level 99 9% → Level %]

Lynch felt his breakthrough and felt joyful.

His whole body was filled with strength, and with the blessing of the Raikage's state of mind, his strength soared.

Too slow, too slow!!

The blood-scale iron pillars, unicorn-horned black pigs, and iron-scale eagles around him seemed countless times slower in his eyes.

He frantically performed the "Mountain and River Spear Technique" - Flowing Water Stab!

Combined with the state of mind of the Raikage, he madly killed the surrounding disaster beasts.

They are like fish on the chopping board, constantly being killed by themselves.

40 minutes later

"Ho~ho~"

"Bang!!"

On the cement road, as the last one-horned black pig died, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

[Lin Qi, congratulations on passing the 10th level trial]

【Grade ranking: 3】

【Total ranking: 90】

[Yes/No to enter the 11th level trial? ]

……

Lin Qi looked at the pop-up message and was quite surprised. He had already ranked third in the grade so quickly?
Yu Zhuoran, Kong Ruoxuan and the others have not yet broken through and are stuck on the 10th floor. Once I break through, I will surpass them.

He ranked third, with only Du Shanyan and Chu Yu ahead of him.

[Enter the 11th level of the disaster beast trial! ]

He chose to enter the 11th floor directly, wanting to see his own level.

"Buzz!!"

The next moment, all the disaster beasts around him disappeared.

Lynch's injuries were all healed.

New information popped up.

[11th level trial: within 60 minutes, kill 500 disaster beasts, 200 level 200 disaster beasts gray-backed giant wolves, 100 level disaster beasts blood-scaled iron pigs, and level disaster beasts iron-scaled eagles! ]

[Failure to kill within the time limit will result in failure...]

[Your HP value is adjusted to 399]

Lynch breathed a sigh of relief. The difficulty increased again. This time, the second-level disaster beast, the unicorn-horned black pig, was eliminated.

It was replaced by the third-level disaster beast, the gray-backed giant wolf. Its speed and combat power are not comparable to the unicorn black pig.

And all of them are level three disaster beasts, and the battle still needs to be ended within an hour.

At the same time, he also felt a constant flow of power, and his Qi and blood value was still 99, the peak of the third realm.

[Countdown: 3, 2, 1...]

[The 11th level trial officially begins! ]

……

"Ow~"

“Heh~ Heh~”

The howling of wolves rang in Lynch's ears. In front of his sight, two-meter-tall giant wolves were speeding on the highway like super sports cars.

Their gray hair condensed into a gray wave, approaching rapidly, and the ground shook even more violently.

Behind them were the even larger Blood Scale Iron Pigs that resembled armored vehicles.

Then came the black cloud of iron-scaled eagles in the sky, and this time the sense of oppression they brought was even stronger.

Seeing this, Lin Qi used his skills "Thunder Shadow Instant Kill Step" and rushed out as black lightning.

"Whoosh~"

"Pfft~"

He rushed into the wave of gray-backed giant wolves, and the black spear covered with golden blade force swept across suddenly with the force of a landslide.

The tip of the spear chopped down with the power of a river bursting its banks.

His shooting skills were like the collapse of mountains and rivers.

"Mountain and River Spear Technique"——Mountains and rivers collapse!

“Bang bang bang!!”

The spear hit the head of a giant gray-backed wolf, knocking it into the concrete road, forming a shallow pit.

The three gray-backed giant wolves around had their throats cut by Jin Feng's powerful force, and blood spurted out.

Flowing Water Stab is the fastest move among the six styles, while Mountain and River Collapse is a group battle move that can sweep away thousands of enemies.

"Bang!!"

A blood-scaled iron pig was blown away and hit several gray-backed giant wolves, clearing out a large amount of space.

Lynch turned into lightning and continuously stabbed with the spear in his hand, hunting down the gray-backed giant wolf.

"Puff~puff~puff~"

In a state of absolute concentration, he unconsciously merged into the state of mind of the Raikage.

By constantly practicing the "Mountain and River Spear Technique", his proficiency in spear techniques is constantly improving.

A lot of insights are constantly emerging.

……

58 minutes later

On the cement road, a large number of gray-backed giant wolf corpses were lying on the ground.

The road was soaked with blood!

"Clang clang!!"

"Pfft~"

Lynch swung the black spear to block the Iron-Scaled Eagle's steel-like claws.

The spear was swung out suddenly, and the golden blade's force was released, cutting the iron-scaled eagle's throat.

"Oh!"

"Whoo~"

He gasped as he listened to the sound of the Iron-Scaled Eagle's corpse hitting the ground.

Their bodies became extremely heavy; during the trial, their warriors' physical strength was not unlimited.

You will also feel tired!
Intense fatigue caused his killing efficiency to plummet.

His body was stained with blood, and a panel appeared in the air. In less than three minutes, the trial would be over!
And in his perception, there are 20 disaster beasts.

He was almost there, and he was about to pass the 11th level trial.

"Ow~"

Several sturdy gray-backed giant wolves, either leaping into the air or opening their bloody mouths, set off a bloody storm as they hunted Lynch together.

"Whoo~"

Lin Qi continued to mobilize all his strength, although his physical fitness was limited to 99
But his mental strength is still as high as 600, and he can feel the movements of every disaster beast around him.

He once again used the Thunder Shadow Instant Kill Step, dodged the attacks of the two gray-backed giant wolves, and passed by them.

At the same time, the black spear in his hand suddenly thrust out, and the spear shot out like a dragon, releasing the mountain-shaking artistic conception.

With the blessing of artistic conception, his shooting speed increased dramatically.

"Pfft~"

"Die, die, die!!"

Lynch gritted his teeth, seized the last chance, and attacked all the remaining disaster beasts.

"Wow~"

The Iron-Scaled Eagle in the air was also pierced through the head in an instant, the force exploded, and its head exploded.

"Puff~puff~"

Before we knew it, there was only one Blood Scale Iron Pig left!

“Heh~ Heh~”

"boom!"

The ground was splashed with dust as its iron hooves stomped hard.

Lynch jumped up and swung his gun down suddenly. A towering mountain instantly appeared on his body.

The mountain-shaking artistic conception—Mountain Town!

"Bang!!"

The tip of the gun slammed into the head of the Blood Scale Iron Pillar, and with a loud bang, its head smashed into the concrete floor.

Lynch could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking.

The entire concrete road became quiet again.

[Lin Qi, congratulations on successfully passing the 11th level trial, time: 59 minutes and 35 seconds] [Grade ranking: 3]

[Overall ranking: 90→60]

[Yes/No to enter the 12th level trial! ]

……

Lynch looked at the information he had taken out and fell into deep thought.

He is now stuck in passing the 11th level trial. According to his judgment, he generally needs 20% of the fourth level's spear skills and 15% of the fourth level's body skills to break through the 11th level trial.

But he did not achieve any of them. The reason he was able to pass was purely due to his strong fighting talent.

He looked at the ranking and found that he had risen by 30 places. Among the 181 awakened geniuses, he ranked 60th, which was already in the upper middle level.

Even some S-level awakening geniuses in the third year are not as good as him.

[Start the 12th level trial! ]

Lynch did not hesitate and continued to start the 12th level trial. He also wanted to see his limits.

[12th level trial content: within 80 minutes, kill 600 disaster beasts: 200 level 200 disaster beasts gray-spine giant wolves, 150 level 50 disaster beasts blood-scale iron pigs, level disaster beasts iron-scale eagles, level disaster beasts]

[Countdown: 3, 2, 1...]

[The 12th level trial officially begins! ]

The emotionless voice of an intelligent voice echoed in the air.

……

40 minutes later

"roar~"

"Puff~puff~"

Lynch's body was knocked away by a bronze bull, and then he was swallowed by countless gray-backed giant wolves.

[Student Lin Qi, I'm sorry you're dead! ]

【Grade ranking: 3】

[Overall ranking: 60→42]

Lynch resurfaced, he looked at the information he took out and let out a breath, the feeling of death was really uncomfortable.

He was quite surprised when he saw the ranking here. He actually entered the top 50 so quickly.

In front of him, there were only 41 people who were stronger than him.

His ranking was getting higher and higher, and most of those ahead of him were seniors in their senior year, and most of them had already broken through to the fourth level of martial arts.

Thinking of this, he chose to withdraw from the Disaster Beast Trial Tower.

……

a few seconds later
"Brother Qi, you have also finished the trial!"

Outside the Disaster Beast Trial Tower, Wan Ming just came out and saw Lin Qi and asked curiously.

Lynch nodded and looked at the rankings.

Wan Ming looked up at the rankings.

[Second Grade Disaster Beast Trial Ranking]

[First place: Chu Yu, level: 14]

[Second place: Du Shanyan, number of floors: 14]

[Third place: Lin Qi, number of floors: 12]

……

Wan Ming was not surprised to see that Lin Qi became the third place, but he was still stunned by the fact that the opponent's trial level reached 12 levels.

So strong?
Yu Zhuoran, Kong Ruoxuan and Wang Mingxi are all still trapped on the 10th floor. The gap is even bigger than imagined!

"Brother Qi, you are so awesome!" Wan Ming exclaimed.

After hearing this, Lin Qi looked calm and also looked at the rankings.

[10th place Yu Zhuoran, th place Kong Ruoxuan, th place Wang Mingxi, th place Pei Jiu, th place Huo Wanyang, th place Li Hanjiang, th place Wei Peng! ]

The ranking of the second grade was similar to what he had guessed. The strongest was the SSS-level genius, followed by the SS-level genius, and finally the S-level genius.

Finally, he looked at the overall ranking list again.

[First place: Shen Heng, number of floors: 16]

[Second place: Thunder Frost, number of layers: 16]

[Second place: Zhang Tianyang, number of floors: 16]

……

[No. 15: Chu Yu, Floor Number: 14]

……

[No. 42: Lin Qi, number of floors: 12]

……

[No. 43: Wang Hailong, number of floors: 12]

……

Lin Qi was a little surprised when he saw that the person standing behind him was Wang Hailong. This SSS-level freshman genius was quite powerful.

He was chasing me so closely.

Wan Ming also looked at the overall ranking and sighed:
"The person currently ranked first on the overall list is Shen Heng, a senior SSS-level genius."

"The two behind are both SS-level geniuses in their senior year. They are both too amazing. They are both on the 16th floor!"

“It may be possible to clear the customs soon.”

"It is said that one must break through to the late fourth stage before one can pass the 16th level!"

Lin Qi also nodded. The late fourth level was already the realm of martial arts for a high-level warrior.

Wan Ming spoke again:

"I heard that there are two SSS-level geniuses in the senior year, but another SSS-level genius has successfully broken through to the seventh level."

"No one will join the competition with our Tianqiong Academy."

Lin Qi was surprised and said, "He has already broken through to the seventh level just after entering his senior year. So fast?"

Wan Ming also sighed:

"Brother Qi, there are gaps between SS-level geniuses."

"Not to mention the SSS-level geniuses. There is also a gap between them."

Lin Qi nodded, saying that there are always people who are better than you.

Sometimes the gap between geniuses will only get bigger.

……

A few minutes later, inside the martial arts room

[Your fierce battle with the disaster beast has greatly improved your mastery of the "Mountain and River Gun Technique", Gun Technique +1%]

[You fought fiercely with the disaster beast, and your understanding of body skills was greatly improved, body skills +3%]

[Gun Skill: Level 15 16% → Level %]

[Agility: Level 9 12% → Level %]

……

Lynch walked out of the virtual cabin, looked at the data on the panel, and nodded secretly.

In this Trial Tower of Disaster Beasts, his physical skills can be said to have been honed over time, and he directly broke through to the fourth level, allowing him to realize the realm of Raikage.

Today's Disaster Beast Trial Tower also allowed him to see his approximate ranking among the 181 people here.

What he has to do next is to try hard to surpass the opponent in front of him.

"It's time for me to buy new body movement secrets."

……

Time unknowingly came to night
In the large conference room on the top floor of the Tianqiong Building, there is a spacious white round conference table full of technological style.

A group of leaders from the Eight Realms, exuding a terrifying aura, were watching the large projection screen.

Dean Liu, dressed in a white robe, pointed at the projected screen and said:

"So far, 181 students have entered the Calamity Beast Trial Tower for the trial."

"This is a ranking based on their trials."

Xue Zhou, who had a carefree and unrestrained temperament, smiled and said:
"Now that the rankings are out, everyone will feel a sense of crisis when they see the rankings."

“It can inspire everyone’s potential.”

Other leaders were also watching the rankings. They came from the three top universities and the military, and were very concerned about the rankings of their own forces.

One of the burly men in dark green military uniform slowly spoke:

"Wouldn't it be too monotonous to rely solely on the Trial Tower of the Calamity Beast? In addition to martial arts, physical fitness is also an important factor in determining a warrior's combat effectiveness."

The others nodded after hearing this.

Sitting in the main seat, Li Qifeng, who had the most domineering temperament, nodded after hearing this:
“Good advice!”

"As a warrior, you really need to unleash your potential in battle."

"We will discuss a practical competition as soon as possible. Competitions for different grades? Perhaps we should let geniuses from all four ages participate together."

Xue Zhou smiled and said, "A smaller version of the Global Martial Arts Competition?"

After hearing this, the other leaders felt that it seemed possible.

……

At the same time, throughout Xingxiuju, geniuses in different villas also saw the rankings in the Disaster Beast Trial.

In the top luxury villa of the SSS-level genius.

Chu Yu sat cross-legged in the bright martial arts room, looking at the ranking projected in front of him.

"15th, a little lower than I thought."

"It seems that we in Xia Country have quite a few experts. I am not worried about not having opponents anymore."

"However, the first place Shen Heng is really amazing. It will be very difficult to surpass him."

“My goal is to be second.”

……

In another villa next door,

Also in the martial arts room, Du Shanyan, who was wearing a white martial arts uniform, had a tall and straight figure, heroic features and short hair.

He glanced at the overall rankings, then at the second grade rankings.

"Chu Yu is indeed an SSS-level genius of Cangqiong Wuda University. He is better than me."

"And Lin Qi, a newly awakened SS-level genius, actually made it directly to the 12th floor. He is also an opponent that cannot be underestimated."

"If I continue to stay in Xiayu Military Academy, I won't feel the difference."

"Only in the Sky Dome Academy can I grow at a faster pace."

Thinking of this, Du Shanyan clenched his fists, and he broke through to the seventh realm even faster and stepped onto the battlefield.

……

Another villa
Wang Hailong, who was wearing a blue robe, frowned as he looked at the projected rankings:

"As expected of Lin Qi, he is indeed better than me!"

"But soon, I will be able to surpass you!"

He looked at the overall rankings again and felt that he was too weak now.

The strong sense of urgency made him unable to help but pick up his spear and start practicing the "Hanhai Spear Technique"

……

As soon as the rankings for the first day of the Disaster Beast Trial Tower were announced, the competitive atmosphere in the entire Sky Dome Academy began to become extremely intense.

Everyone wants to climb up and surpass everyone else.

The geniuses at the top of the rankings also feel pressure because there are SSS-level geniuses catching up with them.

At Lin Qi's door, Dean Liu, dressed in a long robe, walked in slowly, with a metal box in the metal ball behind him.

He sat on the white sofa in the living room.

"Lin Qi, I'm here to tell you good news."

……
