High Martial Arts: Grinding for the Supreme Talent

Chapter 560: Chapter 522: The Might of the Overlord

In a battle like this, every Seventh Realm Martial Artist was expected to face a siege from multiple Seventh-Level Calamity Beasts.

The top-level Seventh Realm Martial Artists could kill Calamity Beasts one after another.

The weaker ones could only barely resist, holding their ground while waiting for support from stronger Martial Artists, and only occasionally managing to kill a single Seventh-Level Calamity Beast.

As the Golden Spear Gang struck one Earth-Splitting Wolf, Lin Qi found himself airborne. At that exact moment, another Earth-Splitting Wolf leaped into the air, charging straight for him.

He frowned. ’I can’t dodge this.’

With that thought, he gave up on dodging. He condensed the Golden Emperor’s Gang Power around his body, gathered his Spear Gang, and thrust his spear toward the Earth-Splitting Wolf.

BAM!

They collided. A giant claw blotted out the sun as it swatted down toward Lin Qi.

When the Spear Gang and the giant claw collided, Lin Qi felt a colossal force surge toward him.

’The body of a Seventh-Level Calamity Beast is immense. Its strength is clearly greater than my own.’

BAM!

Lin Qi was sent flying. He smashed heavily into the ground, creating a crater and sending shattered earth flying everywhere.

”Cough, cough!”

Lin Qi coughed, feeling his Qi Blood churn from the force of the impact.

However, his defense was also top-level, so he wasn’t seriously injured.

As for the Earth-Splitting Wolf, the focused, sharp Spear Gang had incredible penetration power, and it had blasted a hole straight through the beast’s abdomen.

Blood streamed from the wound as its body crashed down from mid-air.

Not far away, Dean Liu, who was besieged by three Seventh-Level Calamity Beasts, found a moment to glance at Lin Qi.

After seeing he was fine, he returned to his own battle.

Several hundred meters away, Mu Hong, clad in Black Armor, was also locked in a chaotic battle with a Vajra Tiger.

He had broken through to the Eighth Realm not long ago, so fighting an Eighth-Level Calamity Beast was a real struggle.

He felt a little awkward. He had been wondering if he should go help Lin Qi.

But in the end, he was the one who had fallen into a dangerous situation.

The Vajra Tiger was one of the most difficult Eighth-Level Calamity Beasts to deal with.

’It’s just my bad luck to get targeted by one today.’

...

”AWOOO~”

The Earth-Splitting Wolf pounced again, not planning to give Lin Qi any chance to breathe.

WHOOSH!

Lin Qi continued to swing his greatspear. His expression was zealous, and his entire body began to thrum with excitement.

THUMP-THUMP!

His heart pounded wildly, the blood in his veins began to flow faster, and power surged endlessly from within his body.

This was a completely different situation from last time.

The two Earth-Splitting Wolves besieged him, their massive bodies blotting out the sun, and an intense sense of pressure washed over him.

Lin Qi felt incredibly excited. ’This is the kind of pressure I’ve been looking for.’

’There’s no pressure like this back at the academy.’

’If I can keep fighting like this, I’ll see huge improvements in just three months.’

He instantly activated Golden Eyes. The world sharpened, becoming much clearer in his vision.

His Perception was astonishing. He released his Spiritual Power and even took a moment to observe his surroundings.

Not far away, Dean Liu was in danger, besieged by three Seventh-Level Calamity Beasts.

’I need to finish off these two Earth-Splitting Wolves quickly and go help Dean Liu.’

With that thought, he swung his Black Gold Spear, condensing his Spear Gang, and unleashed the Mountain and River Six Strikes.

WHOOSH WHOOSH!!

He moved like a bolt of lightning. The instant the two Earth-Splitting Wolves pounced, he leaped high into the air, and from his perspective, their movements seemed to slow to a crawl.

In an instant, slippery as an eel, he shot through the gap between the two pouncing wolves.

His greatspear became like a machine gun. The tip vibrated, and half-meter-long projectiles of Spear Gang shot out in a frantic barrage, just like bullets.

Every single one struck the same Earth-Splitting Wolf with perfect accuracy.

BANG! BANG! BANG!!

The Spear Gang hit the Earth-Splitting Wolf’s neck. The continuous attacks finally penetrated its skin, tore through muscle, and blood spurted out.

BOOM!

The moment he landed, Lin Qi suddenly erupted with power. The Mountain and River Realm materialized, flowing around the tip of his spear.

He shuttled through the air, becoming one with his greatspear as he shot forward.

*Mountain and River Spear Technique*—Flowing Water Stab!

”AWOOO~”

In an instant, the greatspear pierced the Earth-Splitting Wolf’s neck. Blood gushed out like a fountain, its muscles and neck completely torn apart.

Its limbs kicked wildly for a moment, and then it went still.

”AWOOO~”

The other Earth-Splitting Wolf was instantly enraged. It roared and pounced, opening its cavernous, bloody maw.

In the next instant, a Golden Spear Gang shot out. The Earth-Splitting Wolf snapped at it but missed, and the projectile flew straight into its open mouth, piercing through the soft tissue at the back of its throat.

BANG!

Then, Lin Qi moved like lightning, streaking through the spray of blood. He swung his greatspear and stabbed it into the Earth-Splitting Wolf’s throat once more.

Scalding blood sprayed out like a waterfall as Lin Qi calmly withdrew his greatspear.

Two strikes, two dead Earth-Splitting Wolves. His power was on full display.

Merit Points +5000

Merit Points +5000

10,000 Merit Points in the bag.

Lin Qi’s body flushed with heat, and he felt a strange sense of exhilaration. Killing the Earth-Splitting Wolves had only left him wanting more.

’My strength is considerable, even among those in the Seventh Realm. I can unleash even greater combat power when facing Calamity Beasts. This was only two Earth-Splitting Wolves.’

’Against a Seventh-Level Calamity Beast, you need superior speed and strength to maximize the power of your techniques.’

’Trying to match them head-on in a contest of strength is a losing battle.’

’You have to use the sharpness of your weapon, concentrating all your force on a single point to pierce the Calamity Beast’s tough hide.’

’Once you make them bleed out, they’ll die on their own.’

Lin Qi looked around. The battle with the two Earth-Splitting Wolves had actually taken him a full five minutes.

His gaze then locked onto Dean Liu, who was controlling three Flying Knives to simultaneously fight three Seventh-Level Calamity Beasts.

They were a Steel Bone Giant Tiger, a Strong Ape, and an Iron Armor Rhinoceros.

CLANG!

The Steel Bone Giant Tiger’s steel claws collided with a Flying Knife, creating a shower of sparks, and the Flying Knife was sent flying away.

Lin Qi could clearly see that the blade’s smooth surface was already covered in distinct scratches.

These were particularly tough opponents, even for Seventh-Level Calamity Beasts. Dean Liu’s expression was grim, sweat beading on his forehead.

The pressure of fighting three Seventh-Level Calamity Beasts at once was immense; three Flying Knives were clearly not enough.

”Dean Liu, I’m here to help you!”

Lin Qi’s voice came from a distance. Dean Liu turned his head and saw a figure in Black Gold Armor streaking across the sky like lightning.

A Golden Spear Gang shot straight toward the Strong Ape. When Dean Liu glanced over, he saw that the two Earth-Splitting Wolves were already lying silently on the ground in pools of their own blood.

Dean Liu froze. ’He killed the Earth-Splitting Wolves already? Both of them?’

’How could he be so fast?’

”ROAR~”

The Strong Ape’s massive body crashed to the ground, and the pressure on Dean Liu suddenly decreased.

He could now focus his attention on the Iron Armor Rhinoceros and the Steel Bone Giant Tiger. He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a little embarrassed.

’I’m his superior, yet I actually need my own student to save me.’

’And I’m at the Peak of the Seventh Realm, too. This is so humiliating, right in front of Lin Qi.’

’No, I have to show him what I’m capable of.’

He began to mobilize his Spiritual Telekinesis, intending to kill the Steel Bone Giant Tiger first.

WHOOSH WHOOSH!!

The next moment, Dean Liu directed his Flying Knives to shoot toward the Steel Bone Giant Tiger.
