Chapter 513 - 489: Breakthrough—Seventh Realm

Chapter 513: Chapter 489: Breakthrough—Seventh Realm

Once you reach the High Realm, ordinary Awakened geniuses become the lowest rung on the ladder. At that level, everyone has a Special Ability.

It’s considered impressive just to possess top-level Combat Power within your own realm. Defeating an opponent from a higher realm is something even SSS-level geniuses can’t do.

Only top-level geniuses who have awakened two Special Abilities are capable of such a feat.

’And I’m one of that elite few. Once my Qi and Blood Value increases a little more, I can cultivate a High-Level Source Energy Technique and condense Gang Power.’

’My Combat Power will rise another level, and I’ll be practically invincible within the Seventh Realm.’

Lin Qi took the Tiger Slaying Spear down from the wall and began to practice with it in the Martial Arts Room.

The 500-kilogram Tiger Slaying Spear now weighed a full 1,500 kilograms under the room’s triple gravity.

But it felt much lighter in his hands now. Before he stepped onto the battlefield, he would need to buy a heavier, Tier Seven Long Spear.

Only then could he fully unleash his power.

Finally, Lin Qi glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 8:00 PM. The Bone Marrow Cleansing and Blood Exchange process had taken him a full eight hours to complete his breakthrough.

’And my upcoming cultivation for the Seventh Realm will require several more rounds of Blood Exchange.’

...

「The next day」

Outside the Celestial Dome Tower, numerous e-cars came to a stop in the plaza.

Throngs of students disembarked and entered the Celestial Dome Tower, ready to begin their day of cultivation.

The burly, dark-skinned Jiangtao was among them.

He glanced at Lin Qi beside him, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

His Perception was keen. The moment he saw Brother Qi today, he instantly sensed that something about him was different.

He was the same person, but his entire aura was different. It was a transformation from the inside out.

It was profound and domineering, reminiscent of facing a High-Level Calamity Beast—a fundamental difference in their level of existence.

He had only ever felt something similar from the academy’s leaders.

’Could it be...’

A thought instantly exploded in Jiangtao’s mind.

His heart began to pound uncontrollably. After they entered the lecture hall, he leaned in close to Lin Qi and whispered,

"Brother Qi, you broke through?!"

Seeing Jiangtao’s curious expression, Lin Qi nodded and smiled.

"Your Perception is pretty sharp, Taozi."

"I can’t believe you noticed!"

Lin Qi was inwardly surprised. ’Jiangtao’s Perception is getting stronger and stronger.’

’I figured it would be difficult for the average person to notice the change in me.’

The fact that Jiangtao had noticed proved he was extraordinary in his own right.

"You really broke through?"

Jiangtao’s eyes widened. Although he’d had a feeling, the confirmation still sent shockwaves through him.

He had only just reached the Peak of the Fifth Realm himself and thought his own progress was fast enough.

But here was Lin Qi, his peer in age, already breaking through to the Seventh Realm to become a High Realm Martial Artist.

A High Realm Martial Artist!

His own teacher, Liu Ran, was only a Seventh Realm Martial Artist!

This speed of advancement was just too fast!

His Talent was simply terrifying. Jiangtao was already a top-tier SS-level genius himself.

But when faced with Lin Qi, Jiangtao still felt an immense pressure.

Nearby, Wan Ming’s eyes had also gone wide, for he too had overheard the conversation between Lin Qi and Jiangtao.

"Brother Qi, you broke through to the Seventh Realm?"

Wan Ming couldn’t help but blurt it out. The moment the words left his mouth, he realized his mistake and snapped it shut.

But the lecture hall was filled with top-level geniuses, all of whom had astonishing hearing. Every single one of them had heard.

The entire lecture hall instantly erupted into chaos.

"What? Lin Qi broke through!"

"Is that for real? That’s the Seventh Realm!"

In an instant, fifty pairs of eyes in the classroom swiveled in unison to stare at Lin Qi.

Chu Yu and Du Shanyan stared wide-eyed as well.

GULP.

Chu Yu swallowed hard. He himself was only at the Mid-stage of the Sixth Realm, preparing to break through to the late-stage.

And Lin Qi had just gone and broken through?

’Aren’t we all SSS-level geniuses? How can the gap be this huge?’

"Lin Qi, did you really break through?"

Chu Yu couldn’t help but stand up and ask.

Feeling everyone’s eyes on him, Lin Qi calmly admitted,

"I broke through yesterday."

There was no reason to hide his breakthrough to the Seventh Realm. Everyone would find out sooner or later anyway.

But his confirmation only made the classroom buzz even more intensely.

Quite a few people sucked in a sharp breath.

It was as if they had sucked all the cool air out of the room.

This was especially true for the newcomers to the Celestial Vault Institute—Liang Yuxin, Ao Feng, and Duan Chuchu. The three of them were completely stunned.

They had only just gone through their own transformations, their Martial Arts Cultivation having broken through to the Fifth Realm of Refining Inner Organs.

They were a full two Realms behind Lin Qi!

Ao Feng was in a daze. He remembered when Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy had just started its semester two years ago, Lin Qi’s Realm hadn’t even been as high as his own.

In just two short years, the gap had become a chasm; he could barely even see Lin Qi’s taillights in the distance.

Everyone else was simply shocked by Lin Qi’s breakthrough.

The Seventh Realm was a different beast altogether. Once you broke through, you were considered one of the upper echelons of Xia Country.

It put you in a completely different league.

News of Lin Qi’s breakthrough began to spread like wildfire.

「After class」

"Brother Qi, did you get an invitation?"

Jiangtao asked as they were leaving the lecture hall, having now recovered from his shock.

"Zhang Tianyang broke through to the Seventh Realm. He’s inviting us to a party to celebrate."

Lin Qi nodded. He had already received Zhang Tianyang’s invitation during class.

It was an invitation to his party.

Lin Qi nodded. "We should go."

He didn’t refuse. After all, the gift Zhang Tianyang had given him at his own celebration banquet had not been a cheap one.

It would be awkward to refuse the invitation.

...

Villa 48, Star Residence. This was Zhang Tianyang’s villa.

The villa was exceptionally lively, with smart robots serving up a great deal of delicious food.

A tall, sturdy young man with rugged features had a smile brimming with confidence.

Zhang Tianyang clenched his fists, his expression smug.

’I’ve finally broken through to the Seventh Realm, and I did it before Lei Frost and Meng Yuxuan.’

’Who would have guessed? I managed to break through only three months after graduation.’

’Just a little over two months later than Shen Heng.’

BEEP BEEP!!

His phone vibrated. He projected the screen, and Lei Frost’s face appeared on it.

"Lei Frost! Why the sudden call?"

"Are you jealous? Upset that I broke through before you?" Zhang Tianyang laughed.

"Zhang Tianyang, you’re still laughing!"

"Don’t you know? Your junior, Lin Qi, has already broken through to the Seventh Realm."

Lei Frost said.
