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

Chapter 194 Master Lin's Club
As Lin Qi and the others boarded the B6-class armored transport vehicle specially arranged by the City of Light, a vehicle large enough to accommodate thirty people, the warriors assigned to the first team began to discuss among themselves.

"That half-scaled clan expert at the Bone Forging Realm should be Bai Luo, one of the genius martial artists who graduated from the half-scaled clan's genius training camp this year. I really didn't expect him to choose to join the city garrison instead of being sent out to become a manager of a resource area."

"I guess he wants to go further. Although becoming a manager of a resource area means he won't have to worry about training resources, he won't have many opportunities to undergo life-or-death trials and develop his potential. After all, it's too difficult to break through to that level. Only in places like the city garrison can one get regular training."

"Bone Forging Realm! I wonder when I will be able to break through to this level. This level is simply inhuman. You can jump from a height of hundreds of meters and be fine. I guess even if those high-level monsters crash into you, they would hardly get hurt."

The warriors present were filled with awe and admiration at the sudden appearance of Bai Luo, a martial artist at the Bone Forging Realm, in the transport convoy.

Although everyone present was a prominent figure in the suburbs, compared to a Bone Forging Realm expert like Bai Luo, they were truly like ants, not even on the same level.

On the armored transport vehicle, not only were the warriors from various factions amazed by Lin Qi's strength at the Bone Forging Realm, but the players who boarded the vehicle with him were also extremely excited.

"That Bone Forging Realm cultivator is simply too strong. He can jump from a height of over a hundred meters and be fine. If I were to fall from a height of thirty meters, even if I didn't die, I would probably be seriously injured," Fang Zhen exclaimed in astonishment.

“I feel that his body weighs at least two tons. The impact of his fall alone could easily kill a high-level martial artist.” Ragnarok adjusted his non-existent glasses and analyzed, “Given his physical condition, the force of his punch might exceed ten tons, which is something that we Refining Organs Realm martial artists cannot withstand.”

"Who do you think would be stronger if that person fought our master?" Yi Ye Fuyun couldn't help but ask curiously.

"That goes without saying, of course it's our Guild Master, the strongest NPC." Fang Zhen said with great certainty.

“That person is at the Bone Forging Realm, while our Master is only at the Organ Refining Realm. I admit that the Master’s potential is definitely number one, but saying that he is stronger than that Bone Forging Realm cultivator is a bit of an exaggeration. In my opinion, it’s about a 50/50 split,” Xiao Yuan said frantically.

"I think it's about the same. If the sect leader advances to the Bone Forging Realm, he'll probably be able to easily defeat that Bone Forging Realm cultivator." Yi Ye Fuyun nodded in agreement.

The players' hushed conversations left Lin Qi, who was sitting nearby, speechless for a moment.

Although the players inside the vehicle were chatting in the human language, most of the martial arts experts from the major factions in the city understood some of the human language. Moreover, martial artists have incredibly sharp senses, so they can hear clearly even if someone is speaking a hundred meters away, let alone inside the vehicle.

The warriors sitting in the armored transport vehicle all looked at him with strange eyes, and in those eyes he seemed to see a trace of awe and admiration.

"Is he Lin Qi, the owner of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?"

"I've heard of him. He's a top-tier potential genius certified by the Martial Artists Association, the number one genius among the younger generation of humans, and he's trained many martial artists. I thought that was impressive enough, but I never expected that his strength would be on par with Bai Luo, who is in the Bone Forging Realm. He's even stronger than the rumors suggest."

"No wonder the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy was not afraid of the four major forces at all. If they can compete with a genius like Bai Luo who is at the Bone Forging Realm, what are the four major forces?"

The warrior inside the vehicle didn't doubt much what the player said; on the contrary, he believed it.

Although they did not carry strength measuring devices, as martial artists, they were very sensitive, especially to qi and blood. With just a little perception, they could tell that the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy all had vigorous qi and blood, as if it was about to burst forth at any moment.

With such powerful qi and blood, even someone who isn't a genius martial artist is probably not far off.

Such a group of people, who are close to being genius martial artists, speak and act with such conviction. They probably wouldn't say this if they didn't have considerable self-confidence.

"Is the guild master that strong?"

Listening to the players' discussions, Meng Wei couldn't help but look at Lin Qi, his heart filled with immense shock.

Although Meng Wei had long known that Lin Qi was very strong, this could be felt from his blood and qi, which was clearly far superior to what he had been like on Red Moon Mountain.

These past few days, he could feel Lin Qi's breakthrough even more. He should have already surpassed the level of a mid-level martial artist. The speed of his breakthrough was so fast that he had never heard of anything like it in his life. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the number one genius of the younger generation of the human race in the City of Light.

But he didn't expect Lin Qi to be even more outrageous than he imagined.

Now he can even compete with Bai Luo, a genius Bone Forging Realm martial artist who graduated from the Genius Training Camp.

This made Meng Wei suddenly realize something.

"No wonder even the genius Estina from the main family of the Blanc family came to us for cooperation. I'm so stupid." Meng Wei suddenly felt somewhat like a failure. Despite being given special training by Lin Qi, he still didn't realize how powerful the master of the academy, Lin Qi, was.

They can fight to a draw with a Bone Forging Realm martial artist. The four major powers and the wanderers in the city are nothing but clowns.

Looking at the admiring gazes of the martial artists inside the car, Lin Qi wondered whether he should explain this wonderful misunderstanding.

Just as Lin Qi's mind raced, a squad of six entered the car. All were dressed in standard B-grade armor from the city garrison. The captain and vice-captain were both high-level martial artists; the vice-captain wore B5-grade armor that increased strength by 3000 kilograms, while the captain wore B6-grade armor that increased strength by 3600 kilograms. This single squad's strength was enough to subdue a top-tier force in the suburbs.

The team leader and vice-leader are both from the Three-Eyed Clan and were also personnel arranged by the Blanc family this time.

"I am Morton, the captain of the 427th Garrison, and this is my second-in-command, Rex." Morton, who was nearly forty years old, glanced at the people in the car and said with a smile, "I will be in charge of you all on the way to the stronghold. I don't need you to be as obedient as my team members. Just follow my orders when we encounter monster attacks. That way, I can do my best to ensure your safety."

"Next, the martial artists who have reached the intermediate level or above will come out. You will need to cooperate with us during the battle. The other beginner-level martial artists will provide remote support."

As Morton finished speaking, four of the twenty-four martial artists inside the car quickly stepped out—three men and one woman. Apart from Lin Qi, the remaining two men and one woman were all members of the Three-Eyed Clan. In other words, apart from the people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, the entire car was filled with members of the Three-Eyed Clan, from various factions within the clan.

"Not bad, two high-level martial artists and two mid-level martial artists. Our team is among the best in the league." The vice-captain, Rick, whose arm was a mechanical prosthetic, smiled at the four of them, his face covered in scars. "And you're very lucky. My strength and that of the captain and me are among the strongest of all captains and vice-captains. We can hold out against high-level monsters for a while. As long as we coordinate well, we won't have to worry about resources in the future."

Morton nodded in satisfaction. "We'll definitely encounter a lot of monsters on our way to the wilderness stronghold. This will be a good opportunity for us to hunt them down. We'll have a Bone Forging Realm expert with us. The expert will deal with any monsters that can threaten us, and the rest will be monsters below the high level. It's rare to find such a good opportunity in the wilderness."

"The monsters killed by each team are distributed among the teams. In our team, the distribution is based on the contribution. If one person kills a monster alone, they can get 90%, and the remaining 10% goes to the whole team. If multiple people cooperate to kill a monster, then the people who cooperate to kill the monster will share the 90% according to their contribution."

"As long as we cooperate well along the way, even if we are just beginner-level martial artists, we can get about one-fifth of the loot from a mid-level monster, which is equivalent to the harvest of a hunting team on a single hunt in the wilderness."

As Morton finished speaking, the novice martial artists in the car became excited.

For beginner-level martial artists, the meat of intermediate-level monsters is simply unthinkable. As for hunting in the wilderness, unless it's family, teams will never bring beginner-level martial artists along, since it would be suicide for them to face intermediate-level monsters.

The flesh and blood of mid-level monsters can not only be exchanged for type-two potions, but also be kept for personal consumption, which has a significant effect on beginner-level martial artists like them.

A mid-level monster with one-fifth of its head would have at least a ton or two of flesh and blood. That could be used to make ten bottles of Type II potions, which would be a huge profit.

"You must be the person Miss Tina was talking about." Morton looked at Lin Qi among the four and said in surprise, "To have the strength of a high-level martial artist at such a young age, no wonder Miss Tina asked us to take good care of you."

"Don't worry, Brother Lin. As long as you stay by my side and the captain's side, I guarantee you won't get a small share." Looking at Lin Qi, who was only wearing B3-level armor, Rex instantly understood why Miss Estina had asked them to take care of him, and said with a smile.

At such a young age, he is already a high-level martial artist, which means he has a bright future. However, his current foundation is too weak, so Miss Estina of the Blanc family wants to take this opportunity to win him over. Naturally, the Blanc family members will give him their full support.

The attitudes of Morton and Rex drew envious glances from the three-eyed man, a fellow high-level martial artist.

No matter how you look at it, Morton and Rex have probably reached the level of high-level warriors. With the assistance of B5 and B6 level armor, their efficiency in actively helping to kill mid-level monsters would be extraordinary.

"Then you four should tell us what you're good at and what weapons you use, so we can assign tasks accordingly," Morton said earnestly to the four of them.

"I am good at ranged attacks and use a B4-level composite heavy bow. I have participated in several wilderness hunting teams."

"I excel at defense, and I use a B3-level heavy shield. I can handle the defense against mid-level monsters."

Two mid-level martial artists, a man and a woman, stepped forward and introduced themselves.

After the two mid-level martial artists finished their introductions, the high-level martial artist present said with considerable pride, "I have mastered a high-level martial arts technique, using a B4-grade battle axe. I am confident that I can kill a mid-level monster single-handedly!"

Mid-level monsters are not like low-level monsters. Most high-level martial artists don't have the ability to kill mid-level monsters in one go. Those who can kill them in one go are all highly skilled experts among high-level martial artists.

Morton and Rick's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but take a few more glances at this high-level martial artist before turning to Lin Qi.

"me?"

"I have mastered two high-level martial arts techniques, and this is the weapon I use."

Seeing the gazes directed at him, Lin Qi opened the large wooden box he was carrying.

"wooden club?"

"Your weapon is a club?"
