Chapter 126: Monster-level Potential
“4 units! Is the sealed cabin broken?”
“I remember the historical record of the genius training camp was only 5 units. Is 4 units my imagination?”
“This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can a beginner martial artist’s qi and blood value reach 213 units?”
“Monster! This human race kid is definitely a monster in disguise! Even those who have learned advanced martial artist level secret techniques cannot reach 213 qi and blood as beginner martial artists. Even intermediate martial artists find it hard to reach that. He is definitely an intermediate martial artist in disguise!”
“To reach intermediate martial artist at this age is already terrifying talent. After all, without sufficient qi and blood, it is impossible to casually break through to become an intermediate martial artist!”
…
Everyone in the assessment hall looked at the final qi and blood value displayed by the sealed cabin, each of them unable to believe it was real.
Intermediate martial artists under 30 years old only have qi and blood between 180 and 200 units. At this moment, Lin Qi, a beginner martial artist, already possessed a qi and blood value surpassing normal intermediate martial artists. It was simply unbelievable.
“Special grade! This potential is definitely the best among special grade!” The white-haired three-eyed old man looked at Lin Qi’s qi and blood value, his breathing a bit rapid and trembling. “When did the human race cultivate such a monster?”
“This person’s talent is too terrifying.” The crystal race steward beside him also nodded, his mouth unable to close for a long time. “Once he enters the genius training camp, I am afraid he will not even need to wait until graduation to surpass advanced martial artist.”
“How is this possible! Wasn’t he an unregistered nomad?” Feng Ge Lin was dumbfounded.
The identity of a genius martial artist was already terrifying enough, and now Lin Qi’s qi and blood value had broken the historical record of the genius training camp. If he grew up, it was simply unimaginable what level he would reach in the future.
Such a genius martial artist could never be some unregistered nomad.
For any race, without an extremely powerful cultivation method and a large pile of resources, it is impossible to become a genius martial artist. It is just like people cannot build a skyscraper out of thin air.
Even if you are given detailed blueprints, without sufficiently good construction materials, you cannot build a high-rise building.
“Steward Feng, as a colleague of many years, let me advise you. If this conflict can be resolved, do it as soon as possible.” The crystal race steward patted Feng Ge Lin on the shoulder and whispered, “Once this human youth rises, you will probably have no chance to go on living.”
To offend a future core senior official of the City of Light Chasing, not to mention a steward of the martial artist association, even an elder of the association would be in deep trouble.
“I understand.” Feng Ge Lin nodded. His expression was indescribably ugly.
He had thought Lin Qi was a nobody, yet now he had suddenly become a legend. Who would believe this if it were told?
Setting aside Lin Qi’s future growth, even just this news spreading now would make his days miserable.
Genius martial artists are the foundation of every city and the core power to block monster tides in the future. Once discovered, all sides will keep watch, to prevent any accidents.
“Damn White Feather Gang! They actually got me into such huge trouble!”
At this moment, Feng Ge Lin almost hated the White Feather Gang to the bone, even wanting to charge straight to their headquarters right now and kill their gang leader.
To be hated by a genius martial artist, not to mention someone like him who is a high-level martial artist, even experts above advanced martial artist would not be able to sleep well.
Thinking of this, Feng Ge Lin no longer cared about his supervisory task as steward. With a smiling face, he ran toward Lin Qi, completely losing all previous coldness and arrogance.
“Hall Master Lin! Congratulations, congratulations! Special grade potential! This time, entering the genius training camp will be easy.” Feng Ge Lin looked at Lin Qi as if at a close relative. He took out an exquisitely crafted box from his pocket to congratulate him. “These ten energy crystals are a small token of my regard. I hope Hall Master Lin will accept them.”
Although Feng Ge Lin spoke calmly, he could not help the pained look on his face.
Energy crystals are incomparably precious. You cannot even buy them in the City of Light Chasing. Even if you hollowed out a miniature mine vein, you might not find many.
These ten energy crystals were his savings from many years, prepared to impact that barrier. Now he could only grit his teeth and give them away.
“Ten energy crystals?” Lin Qi looked at Feng Ge Lin with some surprise. He had not expected Feng Ge Lin to offer such precious things right away. Then he did not stand on ceremony and directly accepted the ten energy crystals. “Then thank you very much, Lord Feng Ge Lin.”
Although he was angry at Feng Ge Lin, in the short term he truly had no way to do anything to this steward of the martial artist association. As long as Feng Ge Lin stayed in the City of Light Chasing, unless Lin Qi had the strength to confront the entire city, he could only feel helpless about Feng Ge Lin.
And ten energy crystals would greatly help him at this stage. Whether for manufacturing a new player resurrection device or modifying the gravity room, they were essential, not to mention for his own improvement as a martial artist. The effect of energy crystals was several times stronger than that of energy ore.
According to the description of the second level of the Startling Spirit Breathing Technique, at the martial artist stage, even if one fully masters the second level, physical fitness cannot be improved further. It must be combined with energy ore or energy crystals.
This is like people growing by eating. Proficiency in the breathing technique can help a person grow better, or increase the upper limit of what the body can accommodate, but the amount one can eat each day is limited. The richer the nutrition of the food, the faster the growth.
The normal growth from one month of using energy ore can be achieved in less than ten days with energy crystals. And since human lifespan is limited and a slow start means you stay behind, all martial artists fight over them.
Since Feng Ge Lin had proactively offered ten energy crystals to resolve their conflict, Lin Qi would be foolish not to accept.
“It is as it should be, as it should be,” Feng Ge Lin said through his pain.
After everyone in the assessment room had finished testing, and after learning that Lin Qi wanted to recommend Xia Ling to participate in the Five Cities Competition, Feng Ge Lin personally led Lin Qi out and handled the relevant procedures for him.
This scene left Xia Ling, who had been waiting outside, completely stunned.
“Hall Master Lin, what is going on? Didn’t you say Lord Feng Ge Lin had a grudge against you?” Xia Ling looked at Feng Ge Lin walking ahead to lead the way and could not help whispering to Lin Qi.
She had personally heard the hostile conversation between Lin Qi and Feng Ge Lin.
After Lin Qi entered the assessment room, she had been worried something might happen. After all, Feng Ge Lin was a steward of the martial artist association, with connections far beyond what a gang faction in the suburbs could compare to. It would be effortless for him to crush a newly advanced martial artist.
But now, when the two of them came out of the assessment room, Feng Ge Lin seemed like a completely different person. She even felt she did not recognize this half-scale race steward famous for his coldness.
Back when Feng Ge Lin came to the Phosphor Fire Gang, he had not shown any good face even when meeting her grandfather. His gaze at others was like looking at ants.
Yet now when facing Lin Qi, not to mention kindness and warmth, calling it humble would not be an exaggeration.
This made Xia Ling very curious about what had happened inside the assessment room.
In less than half an hour, he had been changed so thoroughly. To say she was not curious would be a lie.
“He does indeed have a grudge against me.” Lin Qi nodded and said casually, “But I chose to forgive him, so he became like this.”
“You forgave him?” Xia Ling looked at Feng Ge Lin leading the way ahead, stunned, suddenly feeling her brain was not keeping up. “Is forgiveness really that powerful?”
She might not know exactly who hated whom, but that there was a conflict was certain.
But who was Feng Ge Lin?
A steward of the martial artist association, a peak high-level martial artist.
And who was Lin Qi?
An unregistered nomad, a newly advanced martial artist.
Even if Lin Qi forgave or did not forgive him, it would already be a great blessing if Feng Ge Lin did not retaliate, let alone become this humble.
“Of course forgiveness is not enough,” Lin Qi added. “You also need a martial artist certification.”
“Martial artist certification?” As soon as Xia Ling heard this, she thought of something and exclaimed in surprise, “Your potential reached excellent grade?”
Based on Feng Ge Lin’s character, only a martial artist potential at excellent grade, with the qualification to enter the genius training camp, could probably make him act like this.
“No.” Lin Qi shook his head and said calmly, “Special grade.”
