High Martial Arts: Grinding for the Supreme Talent

Chapter 353: Chapter 351: New Spear

Dean Liu raised his right arm, lifting the spear with one hand.

Lin Qi could see an arm beneath the robe, its muscles looking as if they had been forged through a thousand trials.

His body trembled slightly as he flexed the muscles in his arm.

”BUZZ! BUZZ!”

Strands of Power flowed into the spear. Lin Qi’s brow furrowed, and he perked up his ears to listen intently.

”Did you hear that?” Dean Liu asked with a smile.

Lin Qi nodded. A peculiar buzzing sound with a unique rhythm reached his ears.

Dean Liu began to explain.

”That’s Power circulating within the spear’s shaft. It moves very quickly, and through this special motion, the Power is constantly condensed and strengthened.”

”In an ordinary Weapon, Power can only circulate normally!”

”However, the higher the Delta Alloy content fused into the Weapon, the greater the amplifying effect on the circulation and release of Power!”

”Simply put, it can enhance the might of Secret Manual Techniques and reduce the consumption of Power!”

”Metal also moves. Through constant use, it resonates and synchronizes with a Martial Artist’s Power, which is hugely beneficial in combat.”

”If you can awaken the [Jin Feng] Special Ability, your combat strength will increase dramatically with a Weapon in hand.”

Lin Qi couldn’t help but nod after hearing Dean Liu’s explanation.

’A Tier Six Weapon is even more amazing than I imagined.’

”A Tier Six Long Spear, a Tier Six Combat Suit, and an S-Class Defense Vest!”

”The three together total two hundred and ten million!”

”Isn’t that even more valuable than your prize money?”

Lin Qi couldn’t stop nodding. This Tier Six Tiger Slaying Spear alone was worth 80 million Xia Country Coins!

In any case, there was no way he could afford to spend so much money on a Tier Six Weapon right now!

The Weapon, Combat Suit, and Defense Vest combined cost 60 million Xia Country Coins more than his prize money.

’All together, that’s 360 million.’

’I really hit the jackpot in the Global Freshman Competition this time.’

After the excitement, Dean Liu returned to the sofa, took another sip of tea, and said with a chuckle:

”There’s one last thing!”

”It’s time to make good on the promise I made you last June!”

”Your championship prize money is 150 million Xia Country Coins!”

”That’s enough to take out fifty million Xia Country Coins to buy the Water of Rebirth.”

”And the rest will be enough for your regular Cultivation.”

Hearing this, Lin Qi’s heart surged like a tidal wave; he couldn’t remain calm.

’I can finally afford the Water of Rebirth.’

For over a decade, ever since his father, Lin Zhen, lost his arm, this thought had constantly lingered in Lin Qi’s mind.

Now, he could finally buy the Water of Rebirth and allow him to regrow his severed arm.

”Thank you, Dean!” Lin Qi said earnestly.

Dean Liu shook his head. ”No, I should be thanking you!”

”You’re the one who gave me this opportunity!”

”It’s already May, so the final exams are less than a month away!”

”After the final exams are over, the Water of Rebirth you want should be arriving.”

”When the time comes, you can take it home for your father to use.”

Lin Qi nodded. ”Okay!”

...

A few minutes later, Lin Qi left, carrying the Metal Box.

Only Dean Liu remained in the office.

He continued to sip his tea and mused:

’Now that the Global Freshman Competition is over, it’s time to get Lin Qi’s promotion to SS-level genius on the agenda!’

’Old Xue and the others will be back in about a month.’

’He’ll probably be shocked when that happens!’

’Just thinking about it is amusing.’

’I wonder how many Ninth Realm Title Level Martial Artists our Xia Country will produce this time?’

At this thought, Dean Liu’s mind turned back to Lin Qi.

This genius had shattered his expectations time and time again. He couldn’t imagine how much stronger Lin Qi would become in a little more time.

’His future is limitless.’

...

「Azure Sky Sixth Institute, Villa No. 01」

「Inside the Martial Arts Room」

”RUSTLE!”

Lin Qi took off his clothes piece by piece, including the black A-level Defense Vest he always wore.

”BEEP!”

The box, reflecting a black metallic luster, slowly opened automatically.

Lin Qi took out the S-Class Defense Vest and touched it to his skin, feeling it carefully.

’So smooth!’

Lin Qi marveled. He had thought the A-level Defense Vest felt great.

But the S-Class felt even better. It was soft and thin, and when he gave it a simple tug, he could feel its astonishing toughness.

After putting it on, he moved his limbs and torso, feeling only a cool sensation on his body with no hindrance at all.

In terms of both comfort and defense, it completely blew the A-level Defense Vest out of the water.

Next, he changed into the Tier Six Combat Suit set.

’The feel is excellent. I can stretch my body and execute Body Techniques to their fullest potential!’

Lin Qi felt the difference as soon as he put it on!

”BANG! BANG!”

Lin Qi threw punch after punch, shaking the air and creating fierce gusts of wind.

He felt as if his skin had thickened, merging as one with the Combat Suit.

The effect on his body was minimal. Before reaching the High Realm, due to the limitations of physical constitution and the demands of Body Technique Realms, even the slightest influence could not be ignored.

That’s why Combat Suits emphasized being lightweight and tight-fitting; they were also called combat clothes.

Once a person broke through to the Seventh Realm, awakened a Special Ability, and had a Body Technique of at least Tier Five, the influence of external objects became negligible.

Thus, they began to thicken their combat attire, focusing on defensive capabilities. That’s why the Combat Suits worn by High Realm Martial Artists had another name—Battle Armor!

”PFFT~”

Lin Qi picked up the Taiyue Spear and jabbed it forcefully against his body. Although he could feel pain...

...most of the force was nullified. The only thing he couldn’t avoid was the Power.

Finally, he lifted the black Tiger Slaying Spear with one hand!

”WHOOSH~”

”SWISH!”

With a simple swing of the spear, Lin Qi felt a drastic change in the airflow around him.

The force and friction with the air created fierce gusts of wind.

Wielding the 500-kilogram weight to perform his Spear Technique was quite strenuous.

’A 500-kilogram weight is still too heavy for actual combat. It’ll easily affect my speed!’

’But once I break through to the Fifth Realm, it won’t affect my speed anymore. It’ll be like an extension of my own arm!’

Lin Qi thought to himself, the more he used the Tier Six Weapon, the more he couldn’t bear to put it down.

A good Weapon is a Martial Artist’s greatest love!

What’s more, the moment he used it, he felt it was a perfect fit for him.

This Tiger Slaying Spear felt like it was tailor-made for him!

”BUZZ! BUZZ!”

He injected Power into the spear. The Power circulated within it, achieving a state of resonance with the entire spear shaft.

In an instant, they merged into one.

”SWISH!”

”BOOM!”

Lin Qi thrust the Long Spear, and the Power blasted out, shaking the air and sending a circular ripple of energy expanding outwards.

’The Power’s might is amplified!’

Lin Qi was pleasantly surprised. A Tier Six Weapon was already sharp enough on its own, but it could also magnify the destructive force of his Power.

’This is too strong!’

’I’ll use this to practice my Spear Technique from now on. I feel like my technique can improve even further!’

Lin Qi made his decision. He had a premonition that by practicing with the Tiger Slaying Spear every day, his Spear Technique would improve immensely.

After practicing the ”Mountain Shaking Spear Technique” for a while, Lin Qi had Little Chan project his panel to take stock.

In just three short days, he had reaped a huge amount of prize money.

Suddenly, he was no longer short on cash.

Even after deducting 50 million, he would still have plenty of money to buy resources for his Cultivation.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi began to check his panel data.
