The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 189 A Blow to the Stick and Another Wave of Newbies

System: Initiating fusion.

System: Integration degree 1%……3%……6%……

Lin Qi watched the progress bar slowly rise in the lower part of his field of vision, feeling somewhat uneasy.

His original plan was to wait until Luo Wushang's sword steps and Xiao Yuan's crazy Lingyun steps both reached the sixth level before making the final fusion. This way, they would be 100% able to fuse into a high-level martial arts skill.

The success rate for two martial arts skills at the warrior level and one high-level martial arts skill is not very high.

But there are only a few days left before he has to go to the front line. Anything can happen in the wilderness. After all, he is not a player who can resurrect indefinitely. Having an extra means of survival is always a good thing.

Lin Qi had been waiting for less than ten minutes when the system notification sounded again.

System: Congratulations, host, for triggering the advanced hidden privilege 'Preaching and Instructing'. The number of martial arts disciples recruited has reached three thousand. The martial arts school random reward roulette is now open. The reward levels are currently from one star to four stars. For every one thousand additional martial arts disciples, you will receive one draw from the martial arts school roulette. Current number of draws remaining: 3.

"What's going on?"

"Three thousand disciples in the martial arts school?"

Lin Qi was completely bewildered when he saw the system notification that suddenly appeared.

The current player limit has reached 500, but the actual number of players is only 360. No matter how you look at it, the system cannot make such a mistake.

"Could those martial arts school members recruited today be considered true martial arts school disciples?"

Lin Qi thought about it more and more and felt that it was very likely, otherwise it would be difficult for the martial arts school to have three thousand disciples, and the system also encouraged him to cultivate local residents in terms of teaching.

"However, this system is really stingy. It only gives one chance to draw a reward for every thousand people added to the martial arts school. According to the current recruitment conditions of the martial arts school, those under 20 years old must reach the level of junior apprentice, those over 20 years old and under 25 years old must reach the level of intermediate apprentice, those between 25 and 30 years old must reach the level of senior apprentice, and those over 30 years old must reach the level of quasi-martial artist. I'm afraid there aren't many people in the entire City of Light who can reach that level."

"How about we lower the admission requirements a bit?"

But Lin Qi quickly shook his head, still not intending to lower the admission requirements for the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

In this world of martial arts where strength reigns supreme, resources are limited, and it's not easy for the Obsidian Martial Arts School to earn them. Not to mention, the local residents are of little use to the Obsidian Martial Arts School before they become martial artists.

For residents of the native world to become martial artists, even with abundant resources, is not an easy task, let alone when resources are scarce.

As a force that already has three blocks in the suburbs, Obsidian Martial Arts Academy already has very low recruitment requirements. If they were any lower, it would truly become a charity.

According to the standards of the City of Light, the worst high school students in the martial arts class are at least junior apprentices; otherwise, they wouldn't even qualify to enter the martial arts class. As for the various martial arts schools in the suburbs, it would be very difficult for high school students to become formal disciples unless they reached the intermediate level. He only needs to become a junior apprentice.

If one cannot even reach this level, then it can be said that they truly have no talent for martial arts, let alone become a martial artist in the future.

After confirming that the recruitment requirements for the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy would not be lowered, Lin Qi turned his attention to the martial arts academy reward wheel that appeared on the system panel.

"Although the reward is given once for every thousand additional talents, it's practically free, so why not take it?"

As Lin Qi spoke, he clicked on the martial arts school reward roulette wheel, and instantly a huge roulette wheel that blotted out the sun appeared in his mind.

The entire roulette wheel has a total of one thousand sections, with one-star rewards in white, two-star rewards in green, three-star rewards in blue, and four-star rewards in purple.

The white sections on the roulette wheel made up the vast majority, a full 90%. The green sections for two-star rewards made up 90% of the wheel, and the blue sections for three-star rewards and the purple sections for four-star rewards were so numerous that they could be seen with the naked eye.

Nine partitions are blue, and one partition is purple.

"The chance of getting a four-star reward is only 0.1%, a three-star reward is 0.9%, and a two-star reward is 9%. This roulette wheel is such a rip-off." Looking at the huge roulette wheel in his mind, Lin Qi suddenly felt that the three chances to draw in his hand were not so appealing after all.

Even if the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy recruits 10,000 people and gets 10 chances to draw, there is a chance to get a two-star reward.

Ten thousand people!

Let's not even talk about the players. Even if they obtain Level 2 Administrator privileges, they're probably still far from being able to recruit enough people. As for the three districts currently controlled by Obsidian Martial Arts School, the total number of people they can recruit is probably limited. This is even with Obsidian Martial Arts School's low recruitment requirements. If the requirements were higher, like other suburban forces, the number of recruits would probably drop to below 3,000.

As a city jointly built by multiple races, the City of Light has a relatively small human population. People of other races are very wary of each other, which is why people of each race only join the forces of their own race. Few people do not join the forces of their own race. Those who join the forces of other races are considered outcasts.

Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh deeply, feeling that the newly opened martial arts school reward roulette function was somewhat useless. Under normal circumstances, even if he expanded his territory to the entire city, he probably still wouldn't be able to get a four-star reward from the roulette.

"Well, something is better than nothing." Lin Qi decided to start drawing.

Boom!

The enormous, cloud-covering wheel suddenly began to spin wildly, so much so that even with Lin Qi's exceptional dynamic vision, he couldn't see it clearly.

"stop!"

As Lin Qi mentally called "Stop," the giant roulette wheel stopped instantly, and the thin red pointer landed on the unsurprisingly white section.

System: Congratulations, host, you have received a one-star reward of a fragrant pear.

"Fragrant pear?"

Lin Qi stared blankly at the fragrant pears he had been rewarded with in the system's storage.

"Could it really be a fragrant pear?" Lin Qi couldn't help but take it out.

Suddenly, Lin Qi held a fist-sized pear in his hand, with a rich aroma, exactly like the fragrant pears on Earth.

"A thousand people are exchanged for this one thing?" Lin Qi looked at the fragrant pear in his hand, speechless for a moment.

Although he had already guessed that the one-star reward wouldn't be anything good, he never expected to be rewarded with a fragrant pear.

"Wait, why does this thing have an attribute box?"

Lin Qigang was about to throw it on the table as breakfast for tomorrow when he suddenly noticed a small system attribute box appearing above the pear.

Vitality Pear: Increases mental activity by 50% after consumption, lasting for two hours.

"Damn! This pear really does have attributes." Lin Qi looked at the Vitality Pear in his hand and suddenly felt that this martial arts school reward roulette wasn't so useless after all.

A 50% increase in mental agility is an absolutely amazing effect for anyone who wants to learn or create something, like a burst of inspiration.

If sold to players who create martial arts techniques, it will allow them to create their own techniques even faster. If sold to people in the local world, their learning ability will be incredibly fast.

However, exchanging a thousand people for one is indeed a high price to pay. Lin Qi then quickly drew the roulette wheel again, and unsurprisingly, received another one-star reward.

System: Congratulations, host, you have received a one-star reward and a watermelon.

"Is it another watermelon this time?" Lin Qi took out a watermelon that was about the size of a basketball and examined it carefully.

Qi and Blood Watermelon: Eating one-eighth of it increases the maximum Qi and Blood by 30% for six hours.

"This Qi-blood watermelon is quite suitable for people who want to break through to the next level."

Lin Qi saw that the maximum Qi and Blood could be increased by 30%, making it the best item for people with insufficient Qi and Blood to break through.

A martial artist's breakthrough is often caused by insufficient Qi and blood. Therefore, the younger a martial artist is, the better. As they get older, thirty years old is the peak. After that, as Qi and blood decline year by year, the difficulty of breakthrough will become more and more difficult.

The Qi and Blood Watermelon can perfectly compensate for the lack of Qi and Blood in these people. As long as they are not in their seventies or eighties, they should be able to restore their Qi and Blood to their peak.

Lin Qi then put away the Qi and Blood Watermelon, intending to use it to cultivate local residents in the future. Meng Wei, whose Qi and Blood were declining, would be a good choice. However, Meng Wei had not yet made any great contributions, so it would be inappropriate to give it to him now. Moreover, one Qi and Blood Watermelon could be shared among eight people. During this period, he could observe and see who else was suitable for cultivation.

"the last time."

Lin Qi then opted for the lottery again.

boom!
With a deafening explosion in his mind, Lin Qi felt as if his head was about to explode, with a constant buzzing sound.

System: Congratulations, host, you have received a three-star reward of a club.

"Is this what they mean by a miracle from a single pull?"

Lin Qi was completely dumbfounded when he saw the system notification.

I never expected to be so lucky; I actually managed to encounter something with only a 0.9% chance.

However, when Lin Qi looked at the club that the system had rewarded him with, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The system actually rewarded him with a club, which was 1.5 meters long, an absolute behemoth. It was completely black, made of some unknown metal, and covered with spikes, like a mace.

If you carried this out, you'd definitely be the coolest person on the street, turning heads 100% of the time.

And this club truly lives up to its reputation as a three-star reward; it's blue quality and even comes with two attributes.

Attribute 1: Basic Great Strength, which greatly increases strength when used.

Attribute 2: Basic Strength Enhancement, greatly increasing the strength gained from using it.

Based on these two attributes alone, it's hard to imagine anyone being able to refuse them.

Immediately, Lin Qi took out the club from the system's storage compartment, and suddenly a spiked mace, more than half a person's height, pitch black, appeared in his hand.

With a single wave of his hand, a storm instantly swept through the beginner training room, knocking down even the beginner combat puppets in the distance.

"It's a bit heavy, but it's still usable."

Lin Qi looked at the spiked club in his hand. Although it didn't look very good, it was really useful, especially since he had given Ye Qinglu his B4-level longsword and was in need of a high-level weapon.

Just as Lin Qi was about to test the effects of the spiked club, the system notification sounded again.

System: Congratulations, host, on the successful fusion. You have mastered the advanced martial arts skill "Jinghong" and automatically reached the perfect level.

A flood of memories rushed into Lin Qi's brain, lasting for a full three minutes before fading completely, allowing Lin Qi to breathe normally again.

"So powerful! This perfect 'Amazing Swan' is simply too powerful!"

After gaining complete memories and experience, Lin Qi even forgot about his lingering headache, his eyes filled with surprise and awe.

The advanced martial arts skill "Jinghong" combines the advantages of three martial arts techniques. It allows one to walk on air with the speed of a sword step, and also has a versatile explosive footwork like the "Lingyun Step". In the instant of the explosion, the speed can be doubled.

For him personally, it was equivalent to running 120 meters in one second, like teleportation.

However, the most powerful effect is the Perfect Realm. It's no longer just a simple buff that permanently increases speed by 15% and reaction speed by 10%, but rather something akin to a skill.

Once used, it can cover a distance of 100 meters in an instant, but it also has significant side effects. Once used, one cannot use the amazing skill for a short period of time.

Even so, this skill is still considered a minor divine skill.

Whether it's a surprise attack or dodging danger at a critical moment, it can play a significant role.

"Let's just call this skill Instant Flash." Lin Qi was very happy to see that he had gained another high-level martial artist skill, Amazing Swiftness, on his attribute panel.

This time, not only was the martial arts fusion successful, but he also gained a club with dual attributes, which undoubtedly provided him with much more security for his upcoming mission to the front lines.

"The power boost from this beginner-level Giant Strength skill is at least 50%, the effect is simply incredible. It seems we can't stop recruiting martial arts school disciples in the future, we need to find a way to recruit more."

Lin Qi swung the club a few more times, and could feel that the club greatly amplified his strength. The rewards in the martial arts school's reward wheel were no longer dispensable.

On the contrary, the martial arts school's reward roulette wheel is very useful.

"However, recruiting more people to become disciples of the martial arts school is also a problem."

Lin Qi realized that Obsidian Martial Arts Academy currently only controls three territories. If he wanted to significantly increase the number of disciples, he could only start with reputation and find a way to get other races besides humans to join. Only in this way could he greatly increase the number of disciples.

"It seems the only option is to start with the players."

Lin Qi thought for a moment and realized that the only way to increase the martial arts school's influence was to have players do the promotion, which would be more convincing.

time flies.

Midnight, the underground solitary confinement room of the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

Suddenly, a large number of players appeared in the confinement room, instantly filling the entire room with them.
