Chapter 529 - 503: Golden Emperor’s Gang Power

Chapter 529: Chapter 503: Golden Emperor’s Gang Power

The instant his Gang Power finished condensing, Lin Qi felt as if a switch had been flipped inside his body.

His body became more active than ever before, his internal organs revving up to high speed.

The 300 kilograms of Calamity Beast flesh and blood he had consumed were rapidly digested, and his body involuntarily began absorbing the surrounding Source Energy at a much faster rate.

His body had broken through its second layer of shackles, allowing it to absorb Source Energy at all times.

Now that this process was activated, his rate of Source Energy absorption increased drastically.

A familiar stench of sweat, along with the thick smell of blood, hit Lin Qi’s nose.

The two scents assaulted his nostrils, causing him to frown.

He looked down to see large amounts of blackish-red blood beginning to seep from his pores.

He was beginning his second Blood Exchange!

An intense wave of dizziness washed over him. Water was being expelled from his body in large quantities along with the blood, and he couldn’t stop it at all.

"Little Chan, get me the sports drinks!"

"Yes, Master!"

Little Chan’s body flowed like a liquid, forming a torso as she retrieved the sports drinks from a large refrigerator.

"GLUG, GLUG, GLUG!"

Lin Qi chugged the sports drinks to replenish his body’s trace elements, finishing one bottle every two seconds. He downed several bottles in just a few dozen seconds.

WHOOSH!!

A fierce gale swirled through the Martial Arts Room as he absorbed the Source Energy from the air.

As his body underwent its second Blood Exchange, large amounts of waste products, impurities, and toxins were expelled along with his blood.

All of his old blood was once again replaced.

Compared to the last time, Lin Qi could feel even more impurities being metabolized and expelled from his body.

However, it wasn’t as dramatic as the first time, and the entire process began to accelerate.

Four hours later, Lin Qi was encased in a thick layer of dried blood and filth.

THUMP-THUMP!!

With his eyes shut tight, Lin Qi felt the powerful beat of his heart, like an engine revving to life.

As new blood was pumped throughout his entire body, he felt a sense of release, and the triple gravity pressing down on him seemed to vanish without a trace.

He felt as if he had returned to Blue Star. His body was light and brimming with vigorous life. In the process of the Blood Exchange, his physical fitness had once again improved.

[Through two and a half days of arduous Cultivation, you have successfully mastered Gang Power, condensing your own unique Gang Power—the Golden Emperor’s Gang Power!]

[You have successfully condensed Gang Power, triggering a bodily transformation. Your body has undergone its second Blood Exchange. Qi and Blood Value +100]

[Through Cultivation, your Template Fusion Degree has increased by +0.5%.]

[Qi and Blood Value: 4730 → 4830]

[Template: True Monarch Erlang Yang Jian]

[Fusion Degree: 34.5%]

...

Lin Qi looked at the information on the panel, feeling gratified. It had only been a month since his last breakthrough, yet he had already completed two Blood Exchanges.

What took others several years to achieve, he had accomplished in a single month.

This was the difference Talent made.

He mobilized the Gang Power within his body, and it condensed in an instant.

This power was stronger than a mere Special Ability; it was a High Level method of application.

The Gang Power flowed from his body like water before erupting like a sharp blade.

BOOM!!

In that instant, the caked-on blood and filth covering his body exploded, turning to dust.

It was as if a crimson hailstorm had rained down inside the Martial Arts Room, scattering the dried filth all over the floor.

Lin Qi’s entire body was now covered in layers of Golden Gang Power.

Lin Qi looked into the mirror on the wall. His body was covered in a thick suit of golden armor.

It was composed entirely of Gang Power, far more solid and substantial than a Powerful Aura. He activated his golden eyes, engaging his Energy Vision.

He saw that all the filth on the surface of his body had been shattered and dispersed. The Gang Power coated his skin, precisely blasting away every last bit of it.

’This will be incredibly useful on the battlefield. I could use it to blast the blood off my face.’

Furthermore, the Gang Power on the surface of his body was like a stationary suit of armor. The very nature of its Energy had changed; it was now exceptionally resilient, yet it flowed like a liquid.

It could absorb Natural Power, Power, and even physical attacks from others.

"Little Chan, turn on the Punch Force Tester!"

"Yes, Master!"

Little Chan replied from the side.

BEEP!

The Punch Force Tester’s electronic screen lit up.

Lin Qi stood 10 meters away. He mobilized the Gang Power in his body, gathered it at his fingertip, and flicked it forward.

A sliver of Gang Power shot out like a flying needle.

THWACK!

The instant the Gang Power struck the red Punching Target, a dull thud echoed as the target shook violently.

BEEP!

A string of data appeared on the electronic screen—"800.1kg!"

Lin Qi’s heart leaped with joy when he saw the result.

’Just a casual flick of my finger has that much power.’

’An Ordinary First Realm Martial Artist probably couldn’t withstand even a single sliver of my Gang Power.’

He then gathered more Gang Power, concentrating it in his fist before throwing a punch.

WHOOSH!!

The Golden Gang Power condensed in mid-air to form a Fist Gang, creating the phantom of a golden fist that was impossibly sharp and kicked up a furious gale.

BANG!!

This time, with a much heavier impact, the Punching Target shook violently, and even its foundation couldn’t help but shudder.

BEEP!

A new string of data appeared on the electronic screen—"181,112kg!"

tons!

Lin Qi nodded to himself. A Fist Gang projected through the air could generate 181 tons of force.

’If I punched at close range, the force might even exceed a threefold increase in my Combat Power.’

This was the kind of boost that Gang Power provided, an effect that simple Power couldn’t replicate.

’So this is the Golden Emperor’s Gang Power?’

Lin Qi clenched his fist as the contents of the Blood Exchange Chapter from the *Golden Emperor’s Secret Manual* surfaced in his mind.

It described how the strength of one’s Gang Power varied depending on the Martial Artist’s Talent and the sophistication of their Cultivation Secret Manual.

’The Gang Power I’ve condensed must be among the absolute best.’

’Especially since its might increases with the number of Special Abilities one has Awakened.’

’My Gang Power can still become much stronger. It hasn’t reached its perfect form yet.’

Lin Qi knew that once he Awakened the Special Ability, Vajra,

and gathered all three Special Abilities—Jin Feng, Golden Light, and Vajra—

he would achieve the perfect Metal Attribute and be able to completely unleash the might of his Golden Emperor’s Gang Power.

The founder of the *Golden Emperor’s Secret Manual* had reached just such a Realm.

"Little Chan, please clean this up!"

"Yes, Master!"

After speaking, Lin Qi turned and walked into the bathroom.

SHHHHH!!

The hot water washed away the grease, impurities, and toxins, though a little residue still remained on his body.

’Now that I’ve mastered Gang Power, when I unleash it, my strength will be formidable even among those in the Seventh Realm.’

’It only took me two and a half days to complete the Cultivation, which is twice as fast as the time required by the Cultivation Technique Secret Manual.’

’My Talent, with a Fusion Degree of around 30%, is already far superior to what the technique’s founder required.’

’Next up, I need to buy a Tier Seven Long Spear and head to the battlefield!’

「A dozen or so minutes later」

Feeling refreshed, Lin Qi walked out of the Martial Arts Room. The smart robot had nearly finished cleaning up.

[18:23]

The time was now past six in the evening. Lin Qi took out his phone to inform Dean Liu that he was ready to depart and also wanted to discuss purchasing a Tier Seven Weapon.

BZZZT!! BZZZT!!

A moment later, a call came through, and his phone began to buzz urgently.

Lin Qi answered the call, and a large holographic screen was projected in front of him.

Dean Liu’s face appeared on the screen. He was leaning forward, staring intently at Lin Qi.

His usual composure was gone.

"Lin Qi, are you certain you’ve mastered Gang Power?"
