Chapter 553 - 520: Three Blood Exchanges

Chapter 553: Chapter 520: Three Blood Exchanges

’But before I go, I have to get my revenge!’

BUZZ BUZZ!!

Just then, his phone vibrated. He quickly answered, and the red metal sphere next to him projected a large green screen.

A large green screen materialized, and on it appeared a beautiful, middle-aged woman in red.

"Mom!"

The woman in red frowned and said:

"I’ve already received the news!"

"Gu Cheng, you’ve greatly disappointed me!"

"To think you actually lost to Lin Qi!"

Hearing this, Gu Cheng’s heart ached even more.

"Mom, I can’t accept this!"

The woman in red frowned.

"What, you want to be humiliated again?"

Gu Cheng gritted his teeth and said,

"Lin Qi said I could get outside help..."

"So... I want to ask my cousin to step in!"

Beside him, Gu Ming’s eyes lit up. "You mean Brother Gu Jian?"

On the screen, the woman in red fell into thought before saying,

"Fine. I’ll go speak with Gu Jian."

"The Gu Family’s reputation will have to be reclaimed by Little Jian!"

The projection switched off.

Gu Ming said excitedly, "If Brother Gu Jian makes a move, there’s no way Lin Qi will be a match for him!"

Gu Cheng nodded. Although he himself was a genius, he believed that among the Gu Family’s greatest geniuses, he could only rank second.

The strongest genius was, without a doubt, Gu Jian!

...

Lin Qi returned to his living room.

He sat down and finally had a moment to look at his panel.

[You battled the "expert" Gu Cheng, further improving your mastery of Spear Technique. Spear Technique +1%.]

[You battled the "expert" Gu Cheng, deepening your understanding of Body Technique. Body Technique +1%.]

[Spear Technique: Tier Four 74% → Tier Four 75%]

[Body Technique: Tier Four 65% → Tier Four 66%]

...

Lin Qi shook his head as he looked at the data. Compared to his Qi and Blood Value, the improvement in his Martial Arts Skills was much slower.

But now that he was on the front lines of the war, he wouldn’t lack for opportunities to kill, honing his Spear Technique in real combat.

In a few months, perhaps his Martial Arts Skills would see a massive improvement.

...

A moment later, his Eldest Senior Brother sent him a message, saying that Gu Cheng had already posted a short video.

Lin Qi opened the House of War and saw Gu Cheng’s post on the forum, a smile instantly appearing on his face.

Then he saw another notification: a transfer of 100,000 Merit Points had arrived.

Pleased, Lin Qi immediately entered the shopping module.

He searched for the Blood Spirit Potion and placed an order directly.

In less than a minute, 100,000 Merit Points were spent.

Looking at his remaining balance of nearly forty thousand Merit Points, Lin Qi decided to continue shopping.

’My Soul Water is all used up. I need to buy more.’

He only had 10 million Xia Country Coins left on him, and it was impossible to buy it with cash; he could only use Merit Points.

He soon found what he was looking for.

[Item: Soul Water]

[Merit Points (or Teaching Points): 3,000/vial]

...

Lin Qi was surprised when he saw the price in Merit Points. 3,000 Merit Points was much cheaper when converted to Xia Country Coins.

Thinking of this, he directly ordered 10 vials, instantly spending 30,000 Merit Points.

[Merit Points: 9,568]

Lin Qi looked at his Merit Point balance; he had now spent most of it.

’If I want to get stronger, I have to keep hunting Calamity Beasts.’

Hunt Calamity Beasts and spend the earnings on the same day.

Hunt Calamity Beasts, exchange for Cultivation Resources, get stronger, hunt even more Calamity Beasts, and earn even more Merit Points.

It was a virtuous cycle.

For those from poor families who wanted to make money, the battlefield was the place to be. As long as you didn’t die, a few years of desperate fighting could earn you Merit Points that would convert into a huge sum of money.

He then replied to his messages. Dean Liu, his teacher Mu Hong, Pei Yiqing, and Pei Hongfeng had all sent their congratulations.

...

「August 20th」

No large-scale Disaster Beast Tide broke out.

With nothing to do, all the Martial Artists treasured the time to engage in Cultivation, awaiting the next Disaster Beast Tide.

At the same time, a great number of people were discussing the battle between Lin Qi and Gu Cheng.

Lin Qi’s fame spread throughout all the War Bases in Xia Country. Everyone knew that a young man had arrived at Black Dragon Base.

A top-level genius, at that!

At the entrance to Room 206 in the dormitory area.

Lin Qi accepted a package from the delivery courier and turned to go back inside.

He returned to the Martial Arts Room and put down the two packages, which were two metal boxes.

BEEP!

He passed the verification to open the boxes, revealing ten vials of Soul Water, filled with a purple liquid.

It was enough to support his Cultivation for a month. Lin Qi started by consuming one vial of Soul Water.

He then sat down cross-legged and began to operate the Advanced Spiritual Power Technique, the *Ten Thousand Calamities Atlas*.

Within his Consciousness Space.

ROAR~

A giant, entirely golden tiger was instantly formed through Lin Qi’s visualization. Lin Qi looked at the giant tiger before him; it was exceptionally familiar.

It was none other than the Eighth-Level Calamity Beast—the Vajra Tiger!

ROAR!

The Vajra Tiger stretched its limbs and galloped through the Consciousness Space as Lin Qi merged into its body.

Now that his *Ten Thousand Calamities Atlas* had reached the fourth minor realm, he didn’t hesitate to choose the Vajra Tiger for his visualization.

He was all too familiar with the Vajra Tiger!

ROAR~

AWOO~

Looking around, one imposing Eighth-Level Calamity Beast after another emerged.

The Vajra Ape, the Earth-Split Dragon, the Sea-Covering Whale, the Lava Sparrow, the Glacial White Wolf...

All of them were familiar Eighth-Level Calamity Beasts!

Space trembled as the battle between the Eighth-Level Calamity Beasts officially began!

ROAR~

The Vajra Tiger roared at the sky, its agile body pouncing forward to begin the slaughter.

...

「An hour later」

Frowning, Lin Qi slowly exhaled, his brow smoothing out. He opened his eyes, and a sharp glint seemed to flash within their depths.

Lin Qi’s mind felt crystal clear. He checked his panel again and saw that his Spiritual Power had increased.

[You have consumed Soul Water and diligently cultivated the Spiritual Power Technique, the *Ten Thousand Calamities Atlas*. Your Spirit has undergone Refinement. Spiritual Power +200.]

[Spiritual Power: 5500 → 5700]

...

Lin Qi nodded to himself. The effect of the Spiritual Power increase was quite significant.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before his Spiritual Power reached 10,000.
