Chapter 623: Chapter 339: Shaking the World and the Ship That Pierced the Sky (Large Chapter)

Dead!

Ghost Hand is dead!

Everyone stared at Ghost Hand, motionless in midair, and for a moment, the entire Red Moon Town fell into silence. Looking at the lifeless Ghost Hand felt like a dream.

"How is this possible!"

"But he’s a Celestial Human Realm Grandmaster!"

Shadow Tiger looked at Lin Qi, who was holding Ghost Hand’s neck with one hand, seriously doubting if Ghost Hand was acting.

A Celestial Human Realm Grandmaster, being at the peak of the Four Domains, even if Ghost Hand was outmatched by Lin Qi, it should be impossible for him to be so easily subdued without resistance. Not even if his teacher was present could Ghost Hand be killed so effortlessly, and even if Ghost Hand tried to escape, his teacher might not be able to stop him.

Yet Ghost Hand was pinched to death by Lin Qi with one hand, like a chick, which was utterly shocking. If Ghost Hand wasn’t acting, who would believe it?

However, Meng De and others nearby, as well as players like Luo Wushang, had no surprise on their faces, instead showing a look of expectation.

"It seems this Hall Master Lin is indeed stronger than my teacher." Meng De looked at the Ghost Hand, dead by Lin Qi’s hand, and confirmed his previous judgment in his heart.

In the Restricted Area of the Wraith Mountain Range, Luo Wushang alone fought three Otherworldly Celestial Human Realm Grandmasters and remained undefeated. Her strength might not be Intermediate Celestial Human Realm, but it was likely close.

According to Domain City records, those three Otherworldly Celestial Human Realm Grandmasters were not among any of the vanished grandmasters in the Restricted Area. They likely entered the Celestial Human Realm after being corrupted during the Blood Coagulation Realm.

Any of those three Otherworldly Celestial Human Realm Grandmasters might not match Ghost Hand alone, but together, they would have a definite chance to kill Ghost Hand.

Given that a single disciple in the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall can be so formidable, Lin Qi, as the Hall Master, surely must be stronger than a disciple. From Meng De’s speculation, Lin Qi’s strength should at least be at the Intermediate Celestial Human Realm level of his teacher, perhaps even approaching High Tier Celestial Human Realm Grandmaster.

And for martial artists who cultivate to the Celestial Human Realm, every jump in tier results in a significant difference in strength. The baseline for Initial Tier Celestial Human Realm is only 600 tons, while Intermediate Tier is 1200 tons, and High Tier Celestial Human Realm is 2400 tons. With each ascension, physical qualities double, creating a discrepancy larger than between Blood Coagulation Realm and Bone Forging Realm.

Now, seeing an Initial Tier Celestial Human Realm Grandmaster like Ghost Hand being pinched to death effortlessly proves Lin Qi’s strength is indeed close to High Tier Celestial Human Realm Grandmaster.

Meanwhile, the players in Red Moon Town were filled with excitement.

"The Hall Master is so strong! Pinching a Celestial Human Realm Grandmaster to death so casually, truly impressive!"

"The minimum strength of an Initial Tier Celestial Human Realm is 600 tons. The Hall Master can crush him easily; this strength must be at least 2000 tons. I remember the Hall Master just recently broke through to the Blood Coagulation Realm; his stats are extraordinary."

The players watched Lin Qi in midair, killing Ghost Hand with ease, discussing avidly, curious about how strong Lin Qi truly was now.

While the players in Red Moon Town were conversing, Lin Qi professionally searched Ghost Hand’s body in midair, using the Spiritual Domain to ensure no valuable item went unnoticed.

"Indeed, worthy of being a Celestial Human Realm Grandmaster of Smiling Skull; his body holds so many treasures." Lin Qi looked at the dozen Energy Blood Essences and a Smart Watch with a gold flame emblem in his hand, then casually tossed Ghost Hand aside, examining the Smart Watch.

When he approached within fifty meters of Ghost Hand’s spiritual coverage, he immediately noticed the Smart Watch on Ghost Hand’s wrist. Considering the golden flame emblem, the Smart Watch was likely from First City, so he chose to crush Ghost Hand instead of punching him to pieces.

With his proficiency in the three Training Techniques above 50% entry level, in the Extraordinary State, his panel strength is 745 tons, equivalent to the extreme of an Initial Tier Blood Coagulation Realm of an Extraordinary Life Form. After an Energy Burst, the panel data reaches nearly 1500 tons, with actual strength exceeding 2700 tons.

In terms of pure strength, he already surpasses the baseline of a High Tier Celestial Human Realm Grandmaster. Against an Initial Tier Celestial Human Realm like Ghost Hand, who was essentially no more than a child, squashing him was easy.

Subsequently, Lin Qi returned to the Martial Arts Hall and casually rewarded Luo Wushang with one billion Points, 50,000 Contributions, 50,000 Merit, and three Energy Blood Essences, delighting her, thinking that Otherworldly beings are indeed valuable; even a randomly dropped Treasure Chest is worth so much.

For Luo Wushang, one billion Points and 50,000 Contributions are not particularly significant; one billion Points aren’t enough to build a Basic Spiritual Secret Tower, and as for Martial Arts Hall Contribution, the current version cap for Hall identity is Core Disciple—no matter how much Contribution one possesses, identity won’t rise further. It’s merely accumulating for a future increase in identity cap.

However, the 50,000 Merit and three Energy Blood Essences are very useful; with 300,000 Merit, one can become a Lieutenant and construct an Intermediate Gravity Room and an Advanced Training Room at the base, a fundamental step in strengthening the Defense Corps. As for the three Energy Blood Essences, along with the five acquired from Meng De, they can be used wisely to elevate two team members to Blood Coagulation Realm experts.

And these rewards led many players to look on with envy, curious about what Luo Wushang did to receive such an abundant reward.

Luo Wushang did not conceal anything, directly informing everyone that she handed in a Treasure Chest dropped by Otherworldly beings from the Restricted Area. The reason for her openness was simple: Treasure Chest drops rely on luck—revealing or not, other people entering the Restricted Area will still receive drops, and those unlucky may not see anything even after clearing out all Otherworldly beings.
