Whale Slaughtering Overlord Saber (Please Follow)

"According to the latest news, Cang Province's coastal region is about to be hit by a new typhoon."

"Citizens are reminded to monitor the weather and take preventive measures in advance."

"The military has announced that a Disaster Beast Tide has erupted in Cang Province's waters. A large Space Gate has been opened, affecting nearby cities, which may face an escalating Disaster Beast Tide crisis."

"We are currently in the Wan Island Sea Area of Cang Province. Let's take a look at the situation on site..."

That day, during the break in No. 2 High School's Elite Class classroom.

Someone turned on the projector, displaying a news channel that immediately drew the attention of many students.

The projection showed a coastal region shrouded in torrential rain.

Beyond the rain lay a boundless ocean, where raging waves surged as countless black shadows burst from the Giant Waves.

They were enormous, ferocious Calamity Beasts. Giant claws, sharp fangs, earth-shaking roars, bloodthirsty eyes—they radiated an aura of slaughter.

As if they had spotted food, they fearlessly charged ashore and launched their attacks.

At the end of the footage stood a massive black ring, blazing with astonishing light.

Endless Calamity Beasts poured out of it, plunging into the sea before charging onto land.

"That's a Space Gate. It's huge. The Calamity Beasts descend upon our Blue Star through Space Gates."

Someone could not help speaking, even though everyone already knew that.

Endless black shadows surged out amid the howling wind and torrential rain. The scene looked like the end of the world.

Boom!!

Bang!!

The next moment, tremendous explosions rang out, like gunpowder detonating.

Rays of every color fell from the sky like a downpour of arrows.

Towering steel behemoths stretched for dozens of kilometers, like a Steel Great Wall. They were War Bases built to resist Calamity Beasts.

Atop the War Bases, enormous metal cannons radiating icy menace aimed toward the Ocean and unleashed deadly strikes.

Like unending flames, they continuously vented their fury.

Laser cannons, missiles, Armor-Piercing Shells...

Many firearms that seemed to belong in science fiction novels appeared before everyone's eyes.

The Calamity Beasts that were hit were instantly blasted into bloody slurry, while red and yellow mushroom clouds erupted from the ground.

Corpses of all kinds of Calamity Beasts lay everywhere, forming mountains of bodies and seas of blood. Yet endless beasts still charged forward one after another.

Roar~~

A gigantic, terrifying beast leaped high from the water. It was a shark-type Calamity Beast over forty meters long.

Its skin was pitch-black, and its rows of blood-filled jaws seemed capable of Tearing through anything. Its massive, razor-sharp teeth reflected the light.

Its red pupils radiated killing intent.

"That's a Level 7 Disaster Beast—the Ghost Tooth Great Shark!"

"It's way too huge!"

Some students cried out in alarm.

Boom boom!!

Rumble!!

Countless laser cannons and missiles bombarded the Ghost Tooth Great Shark like Mercury Pouring to the Ground.

Yet they did not inflict much damage. The Ghost Tooth Great Shark thrashed through the Ocean, stirring up Giant Waves and roaring as if it were mocking humanity.

Boom!!

At that moment, a massive blue saber light shot over from afar, splitting through the sky and chopping down with lightning speed.

Roar~

The saber light fell, triggering a heaven-shaking blast. Boundless bloodlight spread as blood poured down like a waterfall.

A massive gash split open across the Ghost Tooth Great Shark's body.

In the distant sky, a figure steadily grew larger. It was a man with a Sturdy Build, holding a Battle Saber.

Clad in Red Battle Armor, he floated in the air amid blue light, like a god of slaughter.

"It's Yue Feng, the Vice Hall Master of Tianhai City's Red Sky Martial Arts Hall."

"A Seventh Realm Martial Artist!"

"That was his signature secret technique—Whale Slaughtering Overlord Saber!"

Someone called out the man's name.

The crowd erupted into discussion, their faces filled with excitement.

Lin Qi was the same. He watched Yue Feng wield his fierce, tyrannical saber technique, slashing the Ghost Tooth Great Shark to death with three strikes from high in the sky.

"That was awesome!"

The news segment ended with Yue Feng killing the Ghost Tooth Great Shark, and the classroom exploded with excitement.

"One day, I'll become a powerhouse like Yue Feng too, charging onto the battlefield and crushing everything in my path."

"I'll slaughter Calamity Beasts as easily as chopping vegetables."

Someone could not contain their boiling passion.

"Whale Slaughtering Overlord Saber is seriously cool. I'm going to learn that saber technique someday too."

Some students could not help dreaming about it.

Many eyes gleamed with yearning. They were all geniuses from the Elite Class, and their futures were destined to be extraordinary.

Jiang Tao was also fired up.

"Qi Ge, Hall Master Yue Feng is way too strong. Maybe we'll get the chance to join the Red Sky Martial Arts Hall someday."

Lin Qi nodded. Every time he watched this kind of news, he was shocked by the power of top-tier martial artists.

"We'll have a chance!"

Lin Qi stood and headed for the door.

"Qi Ge, where are you going?"

"The homeroom teacher wants to see me!"

On the other side, Chen Zichuan also stood up and went to the office with Lin Qi.

"Check the card numbers. If there are no mistakes, sign here!"

As soon as they entered, Yan Hong, who was seated in an ergonomic chair, got straight to the point and handed each of them a form.

Lin Qi took it and checked it carefully. After confirming that there were no issues, he signed his name.

Chen Zichuan did the same beside him.

Yan Hong took back the forms and said, "The money will be transferred into your accounts within an hour."

"With this money, go buy some resources. Your talent isn't bad. You deserve higher rankings."

"It's just a pity that the school applied for Second-Class Genius Loans for you, but they weren't approved."

"It's fine. I'm already satisfied with a Third-Class Genius Loan." Lin Qi did not mind.

Chen Zichuan also said, "Thank you, Teacher!"

"If you can make it into the top thirty in your grade during the Monthly Exam, you might be able to successfully apply for a Second-Class Genius Loan."

Yan Hong offered the suggestion.

Lin Qi's heart stirred. A Second-Class Genius Loan?

A Third-Class Genius Loan was worth 200,000 Xia Guo Bi, while a Second-Class Genius Loan was worth 500,000 Xia Guo Bi—300,000 more.

If he could get that money, it would be an enormous help to his martial arts training.

After leaving the office.

Bzz bzz!

As Lin Qi walked through the corridor, he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it out and took a look.

It was a transfer notification.

[Industrial and Commercial Card ending in xxx received 200,000 yuan at 10:05 on September 16. Balance: 200,432 Xia Guo Bi]

Lin Qi's expression brightened. The 200,000 Xia Guo Bi Genius Loan had arrived.

Now, he could buy even more resources. He could even afford high-grade resources that he had never used before.

He looked up and met Chen Zichuan's eyes. Chen Zichuan was also looking at his phone; his money had arrived as well.

"Chen Zichuan, let's work hard together!"

"Get into the top thirty in the grade and secure the Second-Class Genius Loan!"

Lin Qi gave him a few words of encouragement before walking back into the classroom.

Chen Zichuan froze slightly. It was their first conversation, but Lin Qi's words made his blood begin to boil.

Getting into the top thirty would be difficult, but with these 200,000 Xia Guo Bi, it was not impossible.

After lunch, in the Martial Arts Room.

"Qi Ge, you've got quite the appetite now. You can eat two Nutritional Meals."

"And it feels like you've gotten sturdier again?"

In the restroom, while changing into their Martial Arts Uniforms, Jiang Tao looked at Lin Qi's build with puzzlement.

"I'm not eighteen yet. My body is still growing. I was malnourished before."

Lin Qi looked at himself in the mirror. His height had already passed the one-meter-eighty mark.

The muscles in his arms had become more pronounced, his shoulders broader, and his body was gradually developing stronger lines.

His frame was still growing, and his appetite increased by the day. He looked much sturdier than before.

Lin Qi looked toward the Panel.

[Name: Lin Qi (17)]

[Template: Erlang True Lord · Yang Jian]

[Fusion Rate: 4%]

The Erlang Shen Template's fusion rate had already reached 4%.

Every day, Lin Qi could feel his martial arts improving—the Perfectly Round Stance, Tiger Form Fist, Mountain Shattering Spear Technique...

Every 1% increase in fusion rate.

Improved his body's talent and comprehension.

Of course, improving his talent did not come without a price. The cost was that he needed to replenish more nutrients.

Nutritional Meals, Qi and Blood Capsules, Qi and Blood Elixirs...

The amount he ate every day kept increasing, and all of it cost money.

"The resources I bought last time are almost used up again. Good thing the 200,000 has arrived."

Lin Qi had already anticipated the enormous expenses ahead. He needed more money.
