Blood God Hall!

"The gap between ordinary martial artists and Prodigies, between Prodigies and monsters, only truly begins to widen from the Fifth Rank onward."

Qin Yan murmured to himself.

At the Fourth Rank and below, gaps in talent could be bridged through effort, resources, and opportunities.

But upon reaching the Fifth Rank, the grade of one's Spear Qi directly determined one's upper limit.

A martial artist who could only comprehend Third Grade Spear Qi for their entire life, no matter how solid their foundation or how abundant their resources, would find it difficult to contend with someone of the same rank who wielded First Grade Spear Qi.

This was an essential difference.

And he, Qin Yan, wielded Annihilation End Spear Qi—the pinnacle among First Grade Spear Qi!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qin Yan began carefully calculating his current theoretical limit for explosive power based on his own circumstances:

Base Blood Qi: 2315 Cal.

Direct bonus granted by Annihilation End Spear Qi: an additional 4000 Cal of explosive power.

Amplification of Base Blood Qi by Spear Qi: 2 times.

Therefore, under normal conditions, Blood Qi explosive power = (Base Blood Qi × 2) + 4000 Cal from Spear Qi explosive power = 8630 Cal.

And that was not all.

Two strands of Blood Gang, each providing a 100 Cal boost, for a total of 200 Cal.

Return to One Killing Move: could increase the power of Spear Technique by up to four times.

However, Return to One was merely a killing move of the low-grade realm and had an upper limit—according to the records of Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear, the maximum boost of this killing move was 4000 Cal.

Adding all the boosts together:

Normal explosive power of 8630 Cal + 200 Cal from Blood Gang + 4000 Cal from
