128: Chapter 128 Devouring Heaven and Earth, True Qi Liquefaction, More Next Time!

Lin Qi's voice, carrying a hint of a playful smile, echoed clearly in the deathly silent auditorium.

Every single one of the thousands of people present was completely dumbfounded.

What was the situation?

He was bleeding from his seven orifices and twitching all over, looking like he was about to die on the spot, and then he tells me the aftereffects were too weak?

The sickly smile on Li Qingxuan's face froze completely, as if he had been doused with liquid nitrogen at minus two hundred degrees.

The bloodshot veins in his eyes bulged from extreme shock.

This was impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

That was "Gene Collapse"! A forbidden poison that dealt a devastating blow at the genetic level! Never mind a Blank Slate like him who didn't even have a class; even a Three-transition powerhouse would rot into a pile of mush on the spot after drinking it!

How could he still be standing!

Just as everyone's brains were stalling, a sudden change occurred!

Hooo—

An incredibly long breath sounded from Lin Qi's chest.

The sound was not loud, yet it carried a strange magic, as if a giant whale sleeping in the deep sea had surfaced and opened its massive mouth to devour the heavens and earth!

The air in the entire auditorium seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, turning into a visible current that converged frantically toward Lin Qi on the awards platform!

What was that?

The students below the stage stared with wide, horrified eyes.

They witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Under the wash of that airflow, the hideous bloodstains on Lin Qi's body were actually evaporating and vaporizing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Immediately after, a dense wave of white gas, like high-pressure steam, suddenly erupted from all thirty-six thousand pores of his body!

Chhh—

The white gas was mixed with an indescribable stench.

Those were the toxic Impurities expelled from his body after being forcibly refined and crushed!

As for the most core and pure destructive energy within the "Gene Collapse" solution, it had long been greedily swallowed whole by the True Qi vortex in his Dantian!

Inside his Dantian, an earth-shaking transformation was taking place!

The True Qi cyclone, which was originally only the size of a fist, expanded more than tenfold in an instant after swallowing that boundless energy, like an engine injected with nuclear fuel!

The rotation speed of the cyclone reached an unprecedented limit!

Quantitative change led to qualitative change!

Under extreme compression and rotation, the originally gaseous True Qi began to condense and liquefy!

One drop, two drops...

Soon, a small pool of liquid energy as thick as mercury gathered at the bottom of the entire Dantian Qi Sea!

[Inner School · True Qi Liquefaction (Minor Achievement)]!

It was done!

This moment marked Lin Qi's official transition from a Martial Artist who only knew a bit of shallow Internal Energy to truly entering the ranks of an Inner School expert!

Boom!

An invisible field erupted violently with Lin Qi's body as the center!

It wasn't a digitized pressure, nor was it a shockwave from a Spell.

It was the purest "Presence" of a martial arts Grandmaster, woven from peak blood vitality and Internal Energy!

Crack! Bang!

On the awards platform, the heavy podium made of solid wood, along with several nearby chairs, were instantly blown to pieces under the impact of this invisible field, as if struck head-on by a battering ram, with wood chips flying everywhere!

“Ah!”

The school official who had been standing nearby with ill intentions was hit head-on by this wave of air. He let out a terrified scream and rolled off the meter-high awards platform like a broken sack, falling flat on his face in a pathetic state.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Everyone was so frightened by this supernatural scene that they didn't dare to make a sound.

At that moment, Lin Qi suddenly snapped his eyes open.

From those originally calm eyes, two brilliant rays of light shot out, as if tangible, trailing two long marks in the air that lingered for a long time!

Refreshing!

An unprecedented feeling of infinite power spread through every limb and bone!

The internal organ damage caused by the forced refining of the toxin had already been completely healed.

Not only that, but his cultivation had surged by a large margin, taking advantage of this "favorable wind"!

Li Qingxuan's face had completely lost all color.

The crystal water cup in his hand could no longer withstand his uncontrolled strength and was crushed into fragments with a "crack"!

Glass shards pierced into his palm, making it bloody, but he didn't notice at all.

In his mind, only one thought was roaring madly.

“How is it possible... that's a fucking genetic poison! It's a poison that can destroy a person from their very roots!”

On the stage, Lin Qi slowly stood up straight.

He didn't even look at the school official groaning below the stage.

His gaze traveled across the distance of hundreds of meters, passing over countless shocked faces, and landed with pinpoint accuracy on Li Qingxuan in the first row.

Then, he revealed a meaningful, slightly playful smile.

“Good medicine.”

Lin Qi's voice, full of vigor, spread through the entire venue via the microphone that hadn't been broken yet. There was no longer the slightest hint of weakness.

“Thank you for the hospitality.”

“I feel like my strength has increased quite a bit again.”

The students in the audience were stunned for a second.

Then, without knowing who started it, thunderous applause and cheers, like a landslide or a tsunami, instantly ignited the entire auditorium!

“Holy crap! Awesome!”

“I knew it! This is the effect a Heavens Gift Potion should have! Rebirth through destruction!”

“Brother Qi is mighty! This medicinal effect is too fierce! It shattered the table directly!”

“So handsome! This is the face of our Longya Academy!”

They didn't understand what had happened at all; they only thought that the miraculous potion had allowed Lin Qi to Breakthrough on the spot, causing his strength to surge!

In the instructors' section, Instructor Su Qing's tense body finally relaxed slowly.

She let out a long breath, and her breathtaking curves rose and fell accordingly.

Although she also completely failed to understand the principles behind this,

she knew that this youth named Lin Qi had once again created a miracle that subverted her understanding and even the rules of this world.

And in an inconspicuous corner of the auditorium,

a "reporter" responsible for recording the awards ceremony watched this ridiculous scene. His camera fell to the ground with a "clatter," and he was completely stunned.

He immediately pulled an encrypted communicator from his pocket and sent a message with trembling fingers.

[Target... Target consumed the 'Gene Collapse' solution... instead of dying... instead... strength greatly increased! Requesting instructions! Urgent!]

...

Lin Qi paid no more attention to the frenzy on and off the stage.

He turned and walked down the high platform step by step.

His footsteps were light, but each step he took was as steady as a mountain.

On the hard marble floor, he actually left behind clear, shallow footprints!

This was a sign that his Physical Body density and strength had both surged to a terrifying degree!

When he passed by the school official who had just crawled up from the ground, covered in blood and still in shock, his footsteps paused.

The school official's body stiffened, his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering in fear as he retreated repeatedly.

“You... don't come over here!”

Lin Qi smiled and reached out, gently patting the man's shoulder under his terrified gaze.

A cold Hidden Force, like the finest steel needle, silently drilled into the other party's body, instantly locking his heart meridians.

“Don't be nervous.”

Lin Qi leaned into his ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear.

“For such good stuff, prepare more next time.”
