Chapter 392 - 382: Vajra Fist Intent

Chapter 392: Chapter 382: Vajra Fist Intent

"GULP~"

Lin Qi chugged the energy drink, replaying the third Killing Technique in his mind, reviewing the entire execution process to understand every detail.

He had now mastered Shaking Mountain, the third Killing Technique of his Mountain Shaking Spear Technique.

The next thing he had to do was fully comprehend the spear technique’s Mental Realm and break through to the Fourth-stage Spear Technique.

Everything in the world possessed a Mental Realm. As long as he comprehended one, it wouldn’t be too difficult to comprehend others.

The first step is always the hardest, and right now, his best hope was the Vajra Fist.

Once his Fist Technique broke through and he grasped the Vajra Fist Intent, it would trigger a chain reaction, and his Spear Technique and Body Technique would break through as well.

He finished his thoughts. The Martial Arts Room had been cleaned, so he resumed his Spear Technique cultivation to consolidate the third Killing Technique he had just learned.

「The next day.」

In Azure Sky First Institute, Li Zehao drove his family’s electric car, ignoring all the classmates who greeted him along the way.

His heart pounding with excitement, he returned to his villa and carried a silver metal box into the Martial Arts Room.

He slowly opened it, revealing a syringe-type Potion inside.

There was an instruction manual next to it. He gave it a quick glance and understood how to use it.

He picked up the Potion, exposing the sharp needle. It easily pierced his skin, and he injected the dark green liquid into his body.

All he had to do was inject the Potion into his body.

’Now, all I have to do is wait for my Talent to transform,’ he thought.

Li Zehao grew ecstatic, but in the next instant, excruciating pain erupted from within him.

"AHHH!!"

He let out a pained shriek and thrashed wildly on the ground.

He felt some kind of change happening to his body, a change that terrified him.

It was a primal, physical instinct, but the feeling was quickly replaced by a surge of power.

Although he was in agony, he could clearly feel himself getting stronger.

Meanwhile, Yu Jing was undergoing the same transformation.

He knew it would be extremely painful, so he had prepared a towel to bite down on beforehand.

Compared to the last Potion, he could distinctly feel himself getting stronger this time.

’This is the feeling. Come on, stronger!’

’I need a stronger Talent! I will become a Ninth Realm Martial Artist!’

’Lin Qi, I will surpass you.’

As he felt the power surging through him, a crazed look appeared in Yu Jing’s eyes amidst the pain, and his face contorted involuntarily.

He didn’t realize that his mindset was already beginning to change.

As his power surged, a torrent of negative emotions also welled up inside him, generating an unprecedented killing intent toward Lin Qi.

It wasn’t just him. All across Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy, a group of students were doing the exact same thing.

And far away, in some secret base, the masked Commander Lin smiled.

’Around now, they should be taking it.’

’The Disaster Beast Hunting Competition is in half a month.’

’It’s a perfect opportunity.’

’It’s still quite difficult for an Ordinary Martial Artist to kill an Awakened genius.’

’But what if ten of them attack at once?’

「Tenth Institute, Red Cloud Building.」

A projection of a starry sky appeared behind the vice-principal. The countless stars formed a massive screen that displayed a huge map.

Each star was a map, all showing locations within the dormitories of the Nine Great Academies.

The bearded Xu Wenji looked at the map and smiled.

’What a grand gesture...’ he thought.

’A pity for so many good seedlings. When the forest is this big, there are all kinds of birds. I already gave you a chance.’

’Talent, power... human desire can never be satisfied...’

Xu Wenji sighed and muttered to himself,

"We’ll use the Disaster Beast Hunting Competition to sweep our house of Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy clean."

Time flowed by, and before long, it was August 13th.

It had been almost a month since the start of the semester at Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy, and many new students knew that the Disaster Beast Hunting Competition was about to begin.

At the same time, the official website for Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy announced a reform policy regarding the Awakened geniuses of the Tenth Institute.

An Elite Training Camp would be held in the Otherworld.

The news caused a huge uproar among both new and old students.

A heated discussion erupted on the Azure Sky Forum.

"Holy crap, a training camp with all the Awakened geniuses in Xia Country, all competing together? S-class, SS-level, and even SSS-level monsters will be joining."

"Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl. I can barely breathe."

"They’re the future of our Blue Star and Xia Country. They’re destined to be the ones holding up the sky."

"They carry the future of humanity on their shoulders. It’s only normal for the competition to be fierce."

"They’re all Top Level geniuses. Suddenly, being just an Ordinary genius doesn’t seem so bad."

The students of the Tenth Institute were also shaken by the news.

They felt an unprecedented amount of pressure.

Wherever there are people, there is comparison; it’s human nature.

And for a Martial Artist, the drive to compete and win is etched into their very bones.

When a group of geniuses gathers, they naturally have to sort out who is stronger and who is weaker. No one wants to fall behind.

They were all geniuses, each with their own confidence and pride.

If they didn’t want to suffer the frustration of being left behind, they had no choice but to compete.

[35th Batch - Tenth Institute Family (20)]

[Wan Ming: I’m gonna die. The reform is really here. All the Awakened geniuses competing together... the pressure is hitting me like a truck.]

[Pei Jiu: All the Awakened geniuses from the three great academies competing together? I probably won’t even rank.]

[Xia Lian: Brother Jiu, you’re an SS-level genius. What are you afraid of? We S-class geniuses are the ones who are going to be at the bottom.]

[Han Zhen: I’m going to be at the bottom again.]

[Chu Yu: I think this Elite Training Camp sounds pretty good (lol)]

[Everyone else: ...]

Wan Ming stared at Chu Yu’s message on the screen, speechless. The guy was an SSS-level genius, a top-tier existence even in the Elite Training Camp.

Someone qualified to compete for the title of the strongest genius would naturally love this kind of thing.

Chu Yu looked at the group chat messages and smiled.

’All the Awakened geniuses... the other SSS-level geniuses will be joining too.’

’I’m also very curious to see who’s stronger between me and the other SSS-level geniuses.’

His targets, from the very beginning, had always been the other SSS-level geniuses.

They were already among the strongest batch of geniuses on Blue Star, the true favored children of heaven.

Their Talents were all off the charts; there was no strongest, only stronger. It all came down to who was more skilled.

He could feel his own blood starting to boil with excitement.

「Gravity Room 313.」

Lin Qi put down his phone. He had also seen the group chat messages and was quite surprised.

’I didn’t expect the reform to be like this.’

His eyes lit up. He had the same thought as Chu Yu. ’Interesting.’

With all the geniuses gathered together, he would finally be able to see the gap between them.

And then he would strive to catch up, surpassing the geniuses stronger than him one by one.

The junior and senior SS-level geniuses, and the SSS-level geniuses.

Gathering all these geniuses together would also help stimulate his own potential.

He always felt that although his Talent was high, it hadn’t been fully brought out.

The main reason was the lack of pressure.

Only recently had the SSS-level genius, Chu Yu, given him a significant amount of pressure.

"HUUFF..."

He changed into his Martial Arts Uniform, drank a vial of Organ Cultivation Liquid, and began his daily Cultivation.

"Little Chan, activate 11x limit gravity mode!"

"Okay!"

"WHIRRR!!"

The gravity multiplier on the large screen instantly jumped to "11".

A terrifying wave of gravity instantly swept out and pressed down on Lin Qi. He felt the weight on his body and activated his Golden Edge Power.

"HUFF HUFF!!"

Golden patterns emerged on his skin along with his bulging veins. He clenched his fists as his heart beat powerfully.

"THUMP THUMP!"

This allowed him to gradually recover from the uncomfortable state.

Lin Qi assumed a fist stance and began to practice Vajra Fist, First Form: Breaking Sky!

As he comprehended the fist, a Golden Sharpness coated his entire fist like a golden gauntlet.

He used his fist as a blade, mobilizing every muscle in his body, from the large muscle groups down to the small ones.

Under his control, the flow of his Golden Edge Power became as smooth as flowing water, as if countless streams were converging.

Then, it condensed into a Sharp Blade. As he threw his punch, it was like a blade slicing through the air.

Breaking Sky: lets the fist strike like a Sharp Blade, Tearing all things to shreds.

Thousand Shadows: controls the Golden Edge Power to split into countless streams that converge and disperse like Flowing Water.

Body Protection: highly condenses the Golden Sharpness into armor-like protection for the body.

Earth Splitting: uses Golden Edge Power, channeling it through the ground to unleash terrifying shock power.

Unity: condenses power, unifying it with intent, allowing it to be released at will and becoming its absolute master.

"BANG! BANG!!"

He executed one form after another. The air was torn apart, and even gravity itself seemed to be severed.

Lin Qi was completely immersed in his Fist Technique, his will merging with it.

Vajra. What is Vajra?

In the Martial Arts Era, in both Buddhism and Martial Arts, it represents an indestructible, Solid power and a higher Spirit Realm.

It is power, but it is also a Mental Realm.

As Lin Qi practiced his boxing, power poured out of him, and at the same time, his will and Spirit seemed to become one with his Fist Technique.

A Mental Realm is an intangible power, a state where nature, Spirit, and the Cosmos merge.

Unconsciously, Lin Qi felt as if he had become "Vajra" itself.

It was an inexplicable power, empowering his body.

The Golden Sharpness covering him grew even more brilliant.

"BANG! BANG!!"

With a punch, Lin Qi remembered the Calamity Beast invasion and why he had started practicing Martial Arts.

At first, he knew about the Calamity Beast invasion, but he was just an Ordinary person.

He knew that by practicing Martial Arts and becoming a Martial Artist, he could have a bright future.

A Martial Artist could earn money, improve his family’s situation, and allow them to live a good life.

When he was a child, a Disaster Beast Tide had erupted. Calamity Beasts ran rampant, creating a hell on earth.

His father, Lin Zhen, and his mother were both injured because of it. In that moment, his one thought was that he would kill every last Calamity Beast.

The education he had received in two lifetimes told him that when the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

Protect the home and defend the country!

Now, he possessed a world-shaking Talent and was destined to be one of Blue Star’s "tall ones."

His true thoughts had not changed.

Get stronger!

Resist the Calamity Beasts!

Protect his country, and protect his own small family!

At this thought, Lin Qi’s gaze became resolute, and he merged completely with his Fist Technique.

"BOOM!!"

Under his control, all the Golden Edge Power in his body fused with his Fist Technique, and his spiritual will merged with it as well.

He threw a ferocious punch.

As all his power exploded outward, he instantly felt a strange kind of empowerment.

It was the Vajra Realm!

"BOOM!!!"

With that one punch, gravity was blasted away like a tidal wave, sending out ripples and a fierce gale.
