Chapter 23: "Whale-Slaying Tyrant Saber"
"According to the latest news, a new typhoon was about to hit the coastal area of Cang Province."
"Citizens were reminded to pay attention to the weather and take preventive measures in advance."
"The military released a message stating that an ocean Disaster Beast tide had broken out in the waters of Cang Province. A large-scale spatial gate had opened, and nearby cities had been affected, potentially facing the crisis of an intensified Disaster Beast tide."
"We are now in the waters of Bay Island in Cang Province. Let's take a look at the situation on site..."
On this day, during a break in the elite class classroom at No. 2 High.
Someone had turned on the projector, displaying the news channel, which for a time attracted the attention of many.
In the projection, it was the coastal region. What could be seen was a sky full of torrential rain.
In the torrential rain was a boundless sea, stirring up monstrous waves. Countless black shadows charged out from the giant waves.
They were one after another, massive and ferocious Disaster Beasts, with huge claws, sharp fangs, earth-shattering roars, and bloodthirsty eyes filled with the aura of slaughter.
As if they had seen food, they fearlessly charged onto the shore to launch their attack.
At the end of the video, there was a huge black ring that was emitting an astonishing light.
Endless Disaster Beasts charged out from it, falling into the sea and rushing onto the land.
"That's a spatial gate. It's so big. The Disaster Beasts descend upon our Blue Star through the spatial gates."
Someone couldn't help but speak up, even though everyone already knew.
The endless black shadows, accompanied by the fierce wind and torrential rain, charged out from it. This scene was like the advent of doomsday.
Boom!!
Bang!!
In the next instant, a huge roar sounded from within, like a gunpowder explosion.
Lights of various colors descended from the sky, like a downpour of arrows.
They were one after another, towering steel behemoths that stretched for dozens of kilometers, like a Great Wall of steel. Those were the war bases for resisting the Disaster Beasts.
On top of the war bases, massive metal cannons exuding a cold aura were aimed at the ocean, firing fatal blows.
Like an ever-burning flame, they continuously unleashed their fury.
Laser cannons, missiles, armor-piercing rounds...
Many of the thermal weapons from science fiction novels also appeared in everyone's line of sight.
The Disaster Beasts that were hit were instantly blasted into a bloody pulp, and red and yellow mushroom clouds erupted from the ground.
Everywhere were the corpses of various Disaster Beasts, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, yet there were still endless Disaster Beasts charging forward one after another.
Roar~~
A terrifying giant beast of enormous size leaped high out of the water. It was a shark-type Disaster Beast with a massive body of over forty meters.
It had pitch-black skin, rows of bloody maws that could tear through anything, and its sharp, giant teeth reflected the light.
Its red pupils radiated with killing intent.
"That's a Level 7 Disaster Beast—Ghost Tooth Giant Shark!"
"That's way too big!" a student exclaimed in surprise.
Boom! Boom!!
Rumble!!
Countless laser cannons and missiles bombarded the Ghost Tooth Giant Shark's body like a flood of mercury.
However, they did not cause much damage. The Ghost Tooth Giant Shark thrashed in the sea, stirring up huge waves and letting out a roar, as if it were mocking humanity.
Boom!!
Just then, a huge blue saber light shot out from a distance, cleaving through the air with the speed of a thunderclap.
Roar~
The saber light struck down, creating a heaven-shakingly loud sound. Endless blood light spread, and fresh blood gushed like a waterfall.
A huge gash had been opened on the Ghost Tooth Giant Shark's body.
In the sky far away, a figure continuously grew larger. It was a burly man holding a battle saber.
He wore red battle armor and was suspended in the air, surrounded by a blue light, like a god of slaughter.
"It's Yue Feng, the vice-director of the Tianhai City Chi Qiong Martial Arts Hall."
"A Seventh-Realm Martial Artist!"
"What he just used was his signature manual—'Whale-Slaying Tyrant Saber'."
Someone called out the newcomer's name.
The crowd discussed animatedly, their expressions excited.
Lin Qi was the same. He watched as Yue Feng executed the fierce and domineering saber technique, slaying the Ghost Tooth Giant Shark with three slashes from high in the air.
"So cool!"
The news ended with Yue Feng slaying the Ghost Tooth Giant Shark, and the classroom was in an uproar.
"In the future, I also want to become a powerhouse like Yue Feng, invincible on the battlefield."
"Slaying Disaster Beasts like chopping melons and vegetables."
Someone couldn't help but feel their blood boil.
"'Whale-Slaying Tyrant Saber' is so cool. I'm going to learn this saber technique in the future too."
A student couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.
Many people's eyes showed expressions of desire. They were all geniuses of the elite class; their futures were also destined to be extraordinary.
Jiang Tao also watched with his blood boiling.
"Qi-ge, Director Yue Feng is too strong. Maybe in the future, we will also have the chance to join the Chi Qiong Martial Arts Hall."
Lin Qi nodded. Every time he saw this kind of news, he would be shocked by the power of the top-tier martial artists.
"There will be a chance!"
Lin Qi stood up and walked towards the door.
"Qi-ge, where are you going?"
"Old Ban has something for me!"
On the other side, Chen Zichuan also stood up and came to the office with Lin Qi.
"Check the card number. If there are no errors, then sign!"
As soon as they entered, Yan Hong, who was sitting in an ergonomic chair, got straight to the point, handing a form to each of them.
Lin Qi took it and checked it carefully. After confirming there were no problems, he signed his name.
Chen Zichuan did the same on the side.
Yan Hong took the forms and said, "Within an hour, the money will be transferred to your accounts."
"With this money, go buy resources. Your talents are not bad and are worthy of a higher ranking."
"It's just a pity that the school applied for a second-tier Genius Loan for you, but it ultimately didn't pass."
"It's fine. I'm already satisfied with getting the third-tier," Lin Qi said, unconcerned.
Chen Zichuan also spoke up: "Thank you, teacher!"
"If you can get into the top thirty of the grade in the monthly exam, perhaps you can successfully apply for a second-tier Genius Loan," Yan Hong suggested.
Lin Qi's heart stirred. A second-tier Genius Loan?
A third-tier Genius Loan was 200,000 Xia Country Yuan. A second-tier Genius Loan was 500,000 Xia Country Yuan, 300,000 more than the third tier.
If he could get this money, it would also be a great help to his martial arts.
Leaving the office.
Buzz! Buzz!
While walking in the corridor, Lin Qi felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He took it out and looked.
It was a transfer notification text message.
[Your ICBC card ending in xxx has received a deposit of 200,000 yuan on September 16th at 10:05. The balance is 200,432 Xia Country Yuan.]
A look of joy appeared on Lin Qi's face. The 200,000 Xia Country Yuan Genius Loan had arrived.
Now, he could buy more resources. He could even buy advanced resources that he had never used before.
He looked up and met Chen Zichuan's eyes. The other was also looking at his phone; the money had arrived for him as well.
"Chen Zichuan, let's work hard together!"
"Let's get into the top thirty of the grade and get the second-tier Genius Loan!"
Lin Qi offered a few words of encouragement and then walked into the classroom.
Chen Zichuan was slightly taken aback. This was the first time the two had interacted, but the other's words had made his blood boil a little.
Although it was difficult to enter the top thirty, with this 200,000 Xia Country Yuan, it wasn't impossible.
...
After lunch, in the martial arts room.
"Qi-ge, your appetite is not small now. You can eat two nutrient meals."
"And I feel like you've gotten stronger again?"
In the bathroom, while changing into his martial arts uniform, Jiang Tao looked at Lin Qi's build and voiced his confusion.
"I'm not 18 yet, my body is still growing. I was malnourished before."
Lin Qi looked at himself in the mirror. His height had already broken the 1.8-meter mark.
His arm muscles had become more pronounced, his shoulders had broadened, and the lines of his body were gradually developing towards a strong build.
His frame was also growing, and his appetite was getting bigger day by day. He looked much stronger than his previous self.
Lin Qi looked at his panel.
[Name: Lin Qi (17)]
[Template: True Lord Erlang · Yang Jian]
[Fusion Rate: 4%]
...
On the panel, the fusion rate of the Erlang Shen template had already reached 4%.
Every day, Lin Qi could feel his martial arts progressing: the Hunyuan Stance, the Tiger Form Fist, the "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique"...
Every time the fusion rate increased by 1%, the talent of his body and his comprehension would improve.
Of course, the improvement of his talent was not without a price. The price was the need to supplement with more substances.
Nutrient meals, Qi and Blood capsules, Qi and Blood potions...
The amount he ate every day was increasing, and all of this cost money.
"The resources I bought last time are almost used up again. Thankfully, the 200,000 yuan has arrived."
Lin Qi had already anticipated the huge expenses in the future. He needed more money.
