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

Chapter 979 Through Thick and Thin (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

A few days later, Solan came to deliver the items Lynch had purchased to his door in person.

He also mentioned that his granddaughter had some free time recently and wanted to seek his guidance.

Lin Qi agreed without hesitation and promised to mentor his granddaughter for three months.

He had promised Solan, but before he knew it, he had cultivated for 50 years.

So he decided to give them some pointers during this time.

After all, there are still 30 years until the next Deep Space Genius Competition begins.

So he met Solan's granddaughter in the primordial world. She inherited Solan's appearance, also having a pair of pointed ears, like an elf.

She has a tall figure and delicate features.

Most importantly, he practiced sword techniques based on the metal element.

Although Lin Qi had always practiced marksmanship, he had also practiced swordsmanship.

They are more than capable of giving pointers to the other party.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye.

Solan's granddaughter, under Lynch's guidance, successfully comprehended the Law of Gold.

In the Deep Space Genius Competition, as long as one comprehends the laws, joining one of the nine supreme powers is not that difficult.

And this step is also the most difficult.

Many geniuses get stuck for a long time.

Thanks to Lin Qi's guidance, the other party mastered the Law of Gold decades ahead of time.

There are still 30 years left, enough time for the other party to significantly improve their understanding of the Law of Gold.

However, Lin Qi felt that what needed the most improvement was willpower.

After all, one needs strong willpower to join the nine supreme powers.

After instructing Solan's granddaughter, Lin Qi resumed his cultivation.

"boom!!"

One by one, metal boxes appeared before him, neatly arranged on the training ground.

When Lin Qi opened it, he found pieces of refined precious metals inside.

They were cast into blocks the size of bricks.

Some of them can even be considered rare and precious materials, and absorbing them can improve one's blood and energy levels.

"Buzz!!"

A dazzling purple-gold light surged from his body.

Lin Qi cut his finger, and blood flowed out.

At the same time, the primal power deep within his body flowed out and merged into his blood.

He dripped his blood into the Dark Obsidian Armor and the Golden Thunder Spear.

At the same time, intricate patterns emerged from the gun.

The blood swelled up, like a crimson stream, enveloping the spear and armor.

Lin Qi began to operate the contents of the "Zuma Military Manual".

The power of the purple-gold energy surged from his body and flowed into it, while the power of the laws also began to descend.

A purple-gold aura of internal energy enveloped the entire spear, causing the material of the spear to begin to change.

Lin Qi then began to use this power to engrave special secret patterns on the gun.

These secret patterns do not repel the original secret patterns; instead, they merge with each other.

The entire process lasted for several hours before it ended.

Soon, a large number of new secret runes appeared on both the Dark Obsidian Armor and the Golden Thunder Spear.

They resemble mysterious patterns, containing a mystical power.

Suddenly, the secret runes lit up and began to take effect.

The nearest metal box had its metal suspended in the air.

Finally, it began to melt into a liquid state, merging into the Dark Obsidian Armor and the Golden Thunder Spear.

"Buzz!"

The armor and weapons, like long-starved vagrants, frantically absorbed the precious metals.

These metals came in various colors, and eventually they all turned into nutrients.

In just a few days, all 35 billion units of metal were completely absorbed.

Lin Qi looked at the brand-new Dark Obsidian Armor and the Golden Thunder Spear.

Holding the spear felt like being connected to one's bloodline; wielding it felt as if it were woven into one's very bones.

This feeling is a step up from before.

As the internal energy was injected, the entire spear shone with a dazzling purple-gold light.

The sharpness of the spear tip seemed capable of tearing through space in an instant.

This is the weapon tailor-made for him.

He originally planned to sell it to the Primordial Holy Land, but now it seems better not to sell it for now.

When we need money someday, we can sell it to the Primordial Holy Land.

Perhaps we can start by having the warriors of Blue Star cultivate it together with the "Blood Refining Vine Cultivation Method".

This also ensures their own combat strength.

If it's sold to the Primordial Holy Land, the people of Blue Star might not be able to cultivate anymore.

The Dark Armor and Golden Thunder Spear have now been upgraded to their limits.

There aren't many metals it can absorb anymore.

He also began a new round of cultivation.

First, a large amount of the Guardian Elixir was taken out and consumed directly.

Then they opened bottle after bottle of Dream Potion.

A strange fragrance wafted into my nose.

He too entered the illusion, and pain began to spread throughout his body.

It's been a long time since I've experienced this, and now it just feels familiar.

He once again immersed himself in cultivation.

……

one year later
"Whoo~"

Lin Qi opened his eyes in the training ground.

Looking at the empty box in front of him, which was full of used-up Dream Potions.

He had already consumed a large amount of the Dream Potion.

Physical pain alone is no longer enough to temper his willpower.

Therefore, one still needs to rely on nightmare crystals to experience one desperate situation after another and be tempered.

So after resting for a month, he threw himself back into cultivating the Nightmare Crystal.

This time, he took dozens of bottles in one go.

Feeling waves of icy cold rushing straight to the brain, surging into the consciousness space, like streams of water enveloping the soul core.

Then he began to use his mental perception to activate the nightmare crystals and enter the illusion.

He soon entered a completely new illusion.

This time, the illusion is still set against the backdrop of the blue planet.

This time, it was discovered by a civilization in the Lieyang Starfield, and then Blue Star was sold to a powerful force.

They turned everyone on Earth into slaves.

Some were taken to trial planets to mine resources.

Those with good talent become slaves in the cosmic arena.

They are responsible for participating in the bloody arena, where they engage in life-or-death battles with people from other civilizations.

It includes battles of all levels.

Moreover, it is different from the virtual battles in the cosmic arena.

All the battles here are real.

And the battle will only end when one side dies.

Lynch was implanted with a chip, and his life and death were no longer in his own control.

The situation is even worse than the last time.

He also gained more knowledge and experienced more pain.

He can also cultivate here.

The cosmic arena even provides training resources.

However, every now and then, they have to go through bloody competitions.

With his talent, his strength continued to improve with each match.

Their combat strength is getting stronger and stronger, and they have never lost.

At the same time, he was also silently searching for a way to escape.

He fought in this way for decades until he was noticed by a big shot in the martial arts arena and became his slave.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Qi killed his opponent.

They escaped directly into space and began their wanderings.

Then, while he was a wanted criminal, he slowly began his cultivation.

It took a hundred years to successfully restore his strength to the fourth level of the universe.

Furthermore, he located the powerful force that had enslaved Earth and killed its strongest member, a titled being at the fifth level of the universe.

He was also hunted down by the entire major power. However, along the way, he killed a large number of beings at the fifth level of the universe.

With the existence of the Heavenly Eye, even if the Invincible One doesn't make a move, he is basically no match for him.

His talent also earned him the favor of the rulers.

Then a ruler stepped in and resolved the conflict between the two sides.

Blue Star returned to Lynch's ownership.

Lin Qi was also taken in as a disciple by the Overlord.

He also chose to bring back the people of Earth who were scattered throughout the universe.

The environmental test was successfully passed this time.

……

On the training ground, Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes, and endless memories flooded back.

"Whoo~"

He let out a heavy breath, recalling everything he had experienced in the illusion.

It was much richer than the first illusion experience.

It also involves a large number of human forces, as well as the existence of the five realms of the universe.

His opponents are also much stronger.

This also made him feel even more intense pain.

He glanced at the time and realized that 100 years had passed.

A wave of intense fatigue washed over me.

He extracted a large number of dream crystals from the source core world.

At the same time, recall the entire process.

He was filled with pain and anger.

In each battle, they tempered their will.

Willpower has improved again.

He had to admit that the Nightmare Crystals were indeed powerful.

This also compensates for his greatest weakness, which is his lack of experience.

The Nightmare Crystal's experience is like another complete life.

These experiences compensated for his weaknesses.

It also tempered his will.

He slowly got up and returned to the villa to rest.

Nightmare Crystals are effective, but each experience leaves you with a huge mental drain.

Three months later.

After consuming a large amount of Dream Crystals, Lynch finally recovered.

Then he relaxed.

Chatting with friends, exchanging martial arts tips with senior brothers and sisters, and even discussing various secret techniques and how to handle certain situations.

Meanwhile, on the official website of the Primordial Holy Land, people began purchasing some strange and unusual cultivation techniques and auxiliary secret methods.
These secret techniques are useless to top geniuses.

However, in the illusion, being too weak can often have unexpected effects.

Fortunately, these techniques and secret methods are not expensive.

After resting, he began a new round of mental training.

He began to use Nightmare Crystals frequently, especially.

The illusions that appear are also of various kinds.

Some environments are so harsh that even he couldn't get through them.

Because once you show your talent, you'll be eliminated immediately.

And such situations are not uncommon.

As a result, there were several instances where people were killed before they even lived more than a few years.

However, this is not without its benefits; it does have the effect of tempering one's will.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another hundred years had gone by.

250 years have passed since the test began.

That day, in the spacious living room of Tianhai Residence.

Many people sat on the sofa chatting.

Guta, looking at Lin Qi, sighed:
"Lin Qi, you seem to have changed a lot in these hundreds of years."

He frowned and described it as follows:

"This is not an improvement in strength, but a change in temperament."

"It's like a sense of vicissitudes, as if you've experienced many things."

"I've only ever seen this feeling in some of my family's elders."

"I've also seen it on Brother Qin."

"What have you been through?"

Qin Ling, dressed in a red robe, looked at Lin Qi and smiled, saying:
"Lin Qi, you have indeed changed a lot."

Lin Qi took a sip of hot tea and said:

"I've been training my willpower lately, and I've taken quite a few Nightmare Crystals."

Guttau was surprised after hearing this:

"I've heard that many of our Holy Land's veteran members take Nightmare Crystals in order to cross the Dream Bridge."

"Experiencing the despair tempers your will."

"But the experiences during that time were too torturous."

"Therefore, many long-time members need decades, or even hundreds of years, before they are willing to continue trying it."

“But the tempering of will is difficult.”

"Lin Qi, you can actually keep using Nightmare Crystals? That's too exaggerated."

"You deserve to be called a legendary genius."

"I still don't dare to try Nightmare Crystals."

The others nodded in agreement; the trials of the Bridge of Dreams had already made them feel tormented.

Not to mention the mental torment.

Those who can persevere are truly ruthless.

They had immense respect for Lynch; not only was he incredibly talented, but his willpower was also terrifying.

In this respect, they simply cannot compare.

Several hours later, the group left.

Only Lin Qi and Qin Ling remained in the living room, drinking tea together.

Lin Qi told Qin Ling everything he had experienced.

He then took a sip of tea and said:
“My experiences are nothing compared to what you went through, Brother Qin.”

“I know I’m in an illusion, and I’m carrying a lot of cultivation experience with me.”

"So it was easy to pass through."

"But Brother Qin, your experiences back then were all real."

"When the monsters invaded, our Blue Star almost fell, but you stepped forward."

"We protected the blue planet."

"Now I know just how amazing you are."

"Your willpower is stronger than mine."

Qin Ling shook his head after hearing this and said:
"The fact that you were able to grow up shows that you have a strong will."

"Even if you haven't experienced it, your willpower is still strong."

"And I believe that if you were in my shoes, you might do even better than me."

"And everything you experienced in the nightmare is enough to prove it."

"Your willpower is already stronger than mine."

Lin Qi smiled and said, "Then thank you for your praise, Brother Qin."

……

A moment later, Qinling departed.

Looking at Qin Ling's retreating figure, Lin Qi felt that Qin Ling's future might be even brighter than he had imagined.

It's not impossible that it could even reach the highest level.

Because it's only a matter of time before the other party becomes a legendary genius.

Once one becomes a legendary genius, one can join the discussions among the supreme beings.

Only by becoming a legendary genius can one have the opportunity to break through to the highest level.

Other geniuses, on the other hand, have absolutely no hope.

Lin Qi arrived at the training ground, rested for a while, and chatted with everyone.

He also felt much more relaxed.

You can continue using Nightmare Crystals for training.

He felt that his willpower had been honed to a certain level.

He had a premonition that he was not far from breaking through level 100 of the Dream Bridge.
