High Martial Arts: Grinding for the Supreme Talent

Chapter 391: Chapter 381: Comprehending the Third Killing Technique

Lin Qi wasn’t panicked. His Golden Edge Power was like a sharp weapon.

He had tested it. A sliver of Jin Feng shot out like a bullet, easily shattering bricks, let alone an ordinary human body, which it could pierce effortlessly.

If it hit an ordinary Martial Artist’s heart, their heart would burst instantly like a water balloon pricked by a needle.

But inside his own body, he didn’t have to worry about it causing him any harm.

He even had to rely on his Golden Edge Power to aid in the Refinement of his Inner Organs.

Although it was a little painful, for Lin Qi, the pain was bearable.

Amidst the stinging pain, golden patterns flowed across his heart, flickering in and out of existence, not yet stable.

But Lin Qi could clearly feel his heart’s function continuously strengthening. It beat like a muffled drum, growing more and more powerful as it pumped blood throughout his body.

His heart was growing stronger and stronger, and its beat grew louder.

After adding the power of Jin Feng, this feeling of empowerment became even more pronounced.

[You have consumed Organ Cultivation Liquid and begun refining your heart. Your heart is undergoing a transformation. Qi and Blood Value +2, Qi and Blood Value +2, +2...]

[You are cultivating a Source Energy Skill and absorbing Source Energy. Your body begins to transform. Qi and Blood Value +1, Qi and Blood Value +1, +1, +1...]

...

「Two hours later.」

”THUMP-THUMP!!”

In the quiet Martial Arts Room, the sound of a drum seemed to echo, beating with a strange rhythm.

It was the sound of Lin Qi’s heartbeat, roaring like a powerful mechanical engine.

”BOOM!!”

”WHOOSH!!”

Lin Qi’s eyes snapped open. An intense Golden Light erupted from his body, and a fierce wind, accompanied by a roar, swept through the Martial Arts Room.

The curtains were whipped about, flapping wildly.

[You have consumed Organ Cultivation Liquid and begun Refining Inner Organs. Your heart has started to transform, its function greatly enhanced. Qi and Blood Value +22]

[You have completed a session of Source Energy Cultivation. All parts of your body have transformed. Qi and Blood Value +8]

[Qi and Blood Value: 428→458]

...

Lin Qi looked at the messages popping up on the panel and smiled with satisfaction.

This Cultivation session had increased his Qi and Blood Value by a full 30 points, just as he had expected.

Of that, 22 points of Qi and Blood Value came from the Organ Cultivation Liquid. As expected of Potion Resources worth ten million a bottle.

The effects were excellent for his first time taking it.

The Refinement progress on his heart was halfway complete in one go. He felt it wouldn’t be long before he could finish the process.

”Phew!”

Lin Qi exhaled a breath of turbid air. His eyes were bright as he clutched his chest.

He felt the powerful beating of the heart within, pumping blood to every part of his body.

Every part of his body became exceptionally active.

’Spiritual Power is even more useful than I imagined. Without it guiding the process, my Refinement wouldn’t be this fast.’

’And the Golden Edge Power... its effect is incredibly strong, too.’

Lin Qi could feel that with the boost from the Golden Edge Power, his heart had undergone a kind of transformation, and his control over its Special Ability had reached a new level.

Thinking of this, he took advantage of his excellent state of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. He picked up the Tiger Slaying Spear, twirled it into a flourish, and began to execute the Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique.

”SWISH! SWISH!!”

He was full of energy, and his mind felt incredibly sharp, with flashes of insight popping up from time to time.

’Today’s a good day. Perfect for a breakthrough.’

With that thought, he switched Spear Techniques and began performing the Mountain Shaking Spear Technique.

”WHOOSH! WHOOSH!!”

He switched from the agile Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique to the fierce and domineering Mountain Shaking Spear Technique—the Spear Technique Secret Manual that suited him best.

He executed the fifteen forms one after another, as smooth as flowing water. His body vibrated as a massive amount of Power coalesced.

He didn’t release the power of Jin Feng; instead, he mobilized his Spiritual Power to carefully perceive the movement of his Power.

During the earlier Refinement process, he had felt the combination of his Qi Blood and Golden Edge Power. Their unique flow had given Lin Qi a new understanding.

Various insights surfaced in his mind, and his Spear Technique began to change unconsciously.

His legs were rooted to the ground, his steel-like muscles bulging. His body vibrated as his muscles, Great Tendons, Slaughter Tiger Bone, and Inner Organs exerted force in unison.

Power surged through him like boiling magma. He gripped the Demon Tiger Spear tightly with both hands as a menacing Evil Qi erupted from his body.

”HUMMM!!”

The spear’s shaft trembled continuously as immense Power poured into it. The metal resonated, and a Golden Strength slithered out like a Spiritual Snake, coating the Long Spear.

It transformed into a dazzling golden Long Spear.

”ROAR~”

When his aura reached its peak, his body shot out like black Lightning. The Golden Strength-wrapped Long Spear thrust forward in a spinning motion.

The metal resonated, and the Golden Strength coiled around it like a spiral, resembling a golden dragon emerging from the sea, letting out a roar.

The Big Gun carried a world-destroying momentum, tearing through the air. A fierce wind raged, and the atmosphere roiled like a stormy sea, creating huge waves.

Veins bulged on Lin Qi’s arms as he poured all of his terrifying strength and Power into the spear.

In that instant, he seemed to merge with the Long Spear. He *was* the Long Spear, capable of shaking mountains!

His Spirit and will were all poured into it.

He thrust into the air before him, and the golden dragon shot toward a large metal cube not far away.

”BANG!!!”

A golden Vortex swirled around the Long Spear as its sharp tip pierced into the one-meter-wide white stone cube.

The smooth stone block was run through by the Long Spear as if it were tofu.

The third Killing Technique of the Mountain Shaking Spear Technique—Shaking Mountain!

”BANG!!”

The pierced stone block suddenly exploded, shattering into countless pieces that shot out with the fierce wind.

”CLATTER! CLATTER!!”

The stone fragments struck the wall, leaving faint marks.

[In your stimulated state, you have mastered the third Killing Technique of the Mountain Shaking Spear Technique—Shaking Mountain. Your understanding of Spear Technique has reached a new level. Spear Technique +9%]

[Spear Technique: Tier Three 89%→Tier Three 98%]

After the fierce wind dissipated and everything in the Martial Arts Room fell silent, Lin Qi withdrew his spear. He felt physically and mentally refreshed, having vented all his power.

He could feel the flow of Qi Blood in his body, the powerful beat of his heart, and the changes in the surrounding airflow and wind—all were within his Perception.

Seeing his Spear Technique had increased by a full 9% on the panel, he wasn’t surprised.

He had raised his Spear Technique Realm to Tier Three 89% long ago but had been stuck at a bottleneck until now.

He looked at the white stone fragments scattered across the floor. It was a block he had acquired to test the power of his Spear Technique.

It was extremely hard and could withstand immense force, a type of stone created with new technology in the age of Martial Arts for use in tall buildings.

But under the bombardment of his Killing Technique, it had been shattered as easily as a block of tofu.

One could only imagine the power of his third Killing Technique.

”Little Chan, clean up these fragments and bring in a new block!” he said.

”Yes, Master!”

Black-haired Xiaochan took control of an intelligent robot, which entered the Martial Arts Room and quickly cleared away the stone fragments.

Meanwhile, Lin Qi continued to practice his Spear Technique to stabilize his third Killing Technique.

’For a moment there, my will merged with my Spear Technique, becoming one.’

Lin Qi savored the feeling. It was just as his teacher, Mu Hong, had described: the will merging with the Spear Technique to become a Mental Realm.

It only lasted for an instant, but it was a promising start.

’That’s the Mental Realm!’

Lin Qi’s eyes lit up. He was now very close to the Fourth Stage Realm.
