Chapter 364 - 361: Finally Awakened
He could see his body glowing, emitting an intense Golden Light.
Faint golden lines emerged on his body, starting from his chest.
Before, these golden lines had been extremely fine, like inconspicuous threads.
But now, the golden lines on his skin had grown thick, spreading from the golden mark on his chest toward his head, torso, and limbs.
The golden lines were like a dry riverbed being filled by a surging current.
The lines grew clearer, covering every corner of his body. Golden lines appeared on his torso, limbs, and even his neck and face.
The complex golden lines even combined to form arcane patterns.
An unknown power surged into every part of his body. It was a power more tyrannical and mysterious than a Little Divine Power.
It originated from his very genes. As the transformation occurred, invisible particles and Source Energy from the air were continuously absorbed into his body.
Lin Qi knew his Special Power was awakening!
A majestic power awakened from the depths of his bloodline, following the path of the golden lines.
Power surged through his body, undergoing a dual transformation under the influence of this awakening power.
The First Layer was the transformation of his Fusion Degree, which allowed his Special Power to awaken. The Second Layer was a physical transformation brought about by the Special Power itself.
It was just like with Awakened geniuses such as Yu Zhuoran. Once they awakened and gained a Special Ability, the power hidden deep within their bodies would erupt.
At the same time, their physical Talent and Comprehension would be enhanced to varying degrees.
A large enhancement would make one an SS-level or even an SSS-level genius.
A weaker enhancement would result in an S-class genius.
Lin Qi felt an exceptional pain, as if his entire body was being crushed.
There was no specific point of pain, because every single part of him, from head to toe, was in agony.
It was an excruciating pain, like his bones were being shattered. And just when he felt he was about to heal, it was as if a steamroller crushed him all over again.
Healed, only to be crushed again.
The process repeated endlessly. The pain, worse than death, was like a surging tide, crashing over him in wave after wave.
It was as if it was deliberately torturing him.
It wouldn’t stop until he was tortured to the brink of death.
Lin Qi could no longer remain calm. He lay on the floor, clawing desperately at the black soft mats.
His body trembled uncontrollably, veins bulged on his skin, and beads of sweat poured out of him.
SHRRRIP!
He forcibly tore the black mat into several pieces.
’It hurts. It hurts so much!’
Even with his will of steel, he felt he couldn’t endure such intense pain.
His body was constantly being reforged as an invisible power slowly permeated every corner of it.
His muscles, skin, bones, and organs all underwent different changes, with the golden lines covering every part.
Even his blood was enveloped by this power.
Lin Qi could even feel wisps of power pouring out of his pores, leaving his body to coat the surface of his skin.
This power grew more and more concentrated, changing every inch of his body.
HUMMM!
A humming sound echoed in the Martial Arts Room. It was a Golden Sharp Power.
’This power...’
Amidst the excruciating pain, Lin Qi also sensed the Special Power. It was a power belonging to the Metal Attribute.
It possessed an intense Sharpness, a Metal Power that seemed capable of cutting through anything.
This power was assimilating every part of his body, instilling its own characteristics.
This was especially true for his bones, which were already emitting a golden glow.
Now, they were also covered in golden lines. The combination of intense Evil Qi and Sharpness raised the toughness of his bones to a new level.
At the same time, his head spun as his Refinement began.
The bones throughout his body were once again being furiously polished. They vibrated, emitting a luster like that of golden jade.
A closer look would reveal that they were covered in fine golden lines.
His skull was refined bit by bit. The dense Golden Power and Evil Qi combined, changing the very essence of his bones.
The progress of his Tiger Bone increased wildly, as if a Platinum Evil Tiger was being ground into his very skeleton.
Lin Qi’s aura fluctuated, strong one moment and weak the next!
At the same time, the Source Energy in the air seemed to be gathered by a pair of invisible hands, frantically pouring into his body.
Although the Source Energy Concentration in the Martial Arts Room wasn’t high, the total amount was still considerable when it was all gathered together.
Source Energy flowed continuously into Lin Qi not just from the Martial Arts Room, but from the entire villa, and even the whole Imperial View Mansion District.
He was completely enveloped in the Golden Power, and his breathing stirred up a strong gale inside the Martial Arts Room.
With every breath he took, a golden mist formed and flowed through the air.
The clang of metal on metal seemed to echo in the air.
His entire body was undergoing an earth-shattering transformation.
But Lin Qi could no longer feel it. Amidst the intense pain, he slowly slipped into unconsciousness.
In the Martial Arts Room, only his body remained, still in the process of changing.
Only the holographic projection of Little Chan watched as Lin Qi’s body continued its transformation.
Meanwhile, on the golden panel, various stats were changing drastically.
「Five hours later」
In the silent Martial Arts Room, Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes.
His mind quickly recalled what had just happened. He had Awakened.
That’s right, he had Awakened!
With a WHOOSH, he sat up from the floor and looked around. Just as he expected, the area was a complete mess.
A large section of the surrounding soft mats had been clawed up and torn to shreds, and his entire body was sticky with sweat and metabolic waste.
