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

Chapter 207 You attacked Wanxing City? (Combined Chapters)
Wanxing City, Wanxing Building.

On the top floor of the towering steel building, flying cars and flying transport vehicles shuttle back and forth. The pedestrians coming and going are all high-level martial artists, including many Bone Forging Realm martial artists who are rarely seen in the outside world.

On the building's helipad, a half-orc woman, dressed in gray-blue leather armor, with a graceful figure, two curved swords hanging at her waist, a delicate face like a porcelain doll, and white animal ears on her head, stood quietly in front of a helipad, attracting the attention of passersby.

It wasn't just because this half-beast woman was very beautiful, but also because she was actually a Bone Forging Realm expert.

Especially the group of young men and women of the half-orc race who had just stepped off the flying transport vehicle on the landing pad stared wide-eyed at the half-orc woman.

The group of young men and women were generally around 22 years old. The stronger ones had already reached the intermediate level of martial arts, while the weaker ones had just become martial arts practitioners.

"This woman is amazing! So beautiful!"

"Are these the martial artists from big cities?"

"Keep your voices down, everyone! This is one of the top ten graduates from this year's genius training camp. You little brats can't just gossip about her like that!"

The young men and women's chatter gave a middle-aged, high-ranking half-beast warrior who had also gotten off the car a headache.

The martial artists who graduate from the Genius Training Camp are already the elite of the elite in Wanxing City. Almost all of them will become Bone Forging Realm martial artists in the future. As for the top ten graduates each time, they will become extraordinary figures in Wanxing City in the future.

A group of young people who haven't even joined the genius training camp dare to talk about such an important figure; they're simply courting death.

"Don't blame them. It's their first time in the city too." A wild half-beastman with brown animal ears and a burly build, who also stepped off the flying transport vehicle, smiled and said, "Besides, many of them might become my juniors. Now that they can meet an excellent senior, they'll be more motivated to participate in the genius training camp assessment."

“Lord Igor is right.” The middle-aged high-ranking half-orc warrior looked at the wild half-orc man and responded respectfully.

Igor!
A genius martial artist from the half-beast race, one of the powerful clans of Wanxing City, has become a mid-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist just three years after graduation. Among the graduates of the past genius training camps, he is an outstanding figure. If he doesn't fall from grace, he can at least reach the peak of the Bone Forging Realm and be a strong contender for the position of deputy city lord.

Even if he cannot become the deputy city lord, he can still secure the position of young clan leader within the half-beast race and become the future clan leader of the half-beast race in Wanxing City.

Upon hearing Igor's words, the young men and women who got off the car were filled with fighting spirit and determined to get into the genius training camp this year and stay in Wanxing City in the future.

"Make arrangements for them all. Let them train at the Wanxing Building during this time to prepare for the Genius Training Camp exam," Igor instructed.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged high-level martial artist led these young men and women, selected from several large towns controlled by the half-beast race, into the Wanxing Building.

"Dona, what happened that made you come all this way?" After watching the young man and woman of the half-orc race being sent away, Igor looked curiously at the beautiful half-orc woman with snow-white beast ears, who was at the Bone Forging Realm.

"Brother, something terrible has happened." The half-orc woman named Dona, who was at the Bone Forging Realm, frowned slightly. "I just received news from the garrison that Lucis, who was stationed in Death Valley, along with nearly two hundred members of the garrison, are all dead. According to the investigation, the garrison suspects that this matter is related to the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, and even suspects that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy did this."

"Lucis is dead? Are you sure about this news?" Igor's usually calm face showed surprise upon hearing this.

As one of the top ten graduates of the genius training camp this year, Lucis's strength is far beyond that of an ordinary early-stage Bone Forging Realm cultivator. Moreover, before graduating, Lucis had already exchanged for a second-tier weapon, the Blood Bone Spear, and a second-tier battle armor made from materials from lord-level monsters. Even for someone at the mid-stage Bone Forging Realm, killing Lucis would not be easy.

"It's confirmed. The life support device implanted in Lucius by the garrison has completely lost its life signal. The investigation team searched for him based on the device's signal and found Lucius, who was no longer human. All his weapons and equipment had been taken. The entire Death Valley has undergone an unimaginable battle, which has changed the terrain of Death Valley." Donna nodded, her face somewhat grim, and said, "According to the smartwatches that the investigation team found, which were well-preserved by some miners, Lucius had a conflict with the Obsidian Martial Arts School. When he arrived at Death Valley, he directly killed two martial artists from the Obsidian Martial Arts School."

"As a graduate of the genius training camp, Lucius does not have any powerful enemies in the city, let alone outside. This is Lucius' first time carrying out an outside mission for the garrison. If he does have any enemies, it would be the Obsidian Martial Arts School. Therefore, the investigation team suspects that the Obsidian Martial Arts School was behind this."

“Brother, the city’s higher-ups have assigned you and me to press the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy about establishing a town. This is no ordinary mission. Should we decline it and let someone else do it?”

“No, we can’t turn down this mission.” Igor shook his head and said very firmly, “This mission was one that the chieftain fought against all opposition to snatch from other powerful clans. If we turn it down, not only will we lose face for the entire clan, but we will also have no chance to get any good missions in the city in the future.”

"What should we do then? Should we go and cause trouble for the Obsidian Martial Arts School?" Donna asked, her head in his throat.

A force capable of eliminating Lucis, annihilating nearly two hundred members of the garrison, and leaving no one of the two thousand miners alive—this is not something two Bone Forging Realm warriors could handle. One wrong move, and they could lose their lives.

“I will inform the clan chief about this matter and request the clan’s support. In the meantime, let’s send someone to investigate the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy and find out if Lucis and the others were really killed by the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy before we decide whether to take action.” Igor thought for a moment and said with a slight regret, “It’s a pity that the City of Light cannot know about Lucis’s operation to seize the mithril mine. Otherwise, I could have directly requested the support of the garrison to complete this mission.”

Lucis's death was a major event for the entire Wanxing City. After all, Bone Forging Realm warriors are very important to any city. It's one thing to die fighting monsters on the front lines, but if he were killed by people from other cities, it would be a major event that could ignite a city war.

The Obsidian Martial Arts School killed Lucis and nearly two hundred members of the garrison. He could easily lead the Wanxing City garrison to wipe out the Obsidian Martial Arts School, and the City of Light would have no complaints.

Unfortunately, Lucius's mission this time was to mine mithril in Death Valley, which is only a little over 100 kilometers away from City of Light. It can be said that it is within the sphere of influence of City of Light. Lucius and his group were essentially going to steal the mine. Even if they were killed, Star City could not say anything. In fact, City of Light would even demand compensation.

This means that dealing with the Obsidian Martial Arts School cannot be done openly; it can only be done covertly.

Donna thought about it and felt that this was the only way for now.

Meanwhile, in the City of Light, there is the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

As Fang Zhen and Xiao Yuan frantically transported large quantities of weapons and equipment from the Wanxing City garrison back to the martial arts school, the entire Obsidian Martial Arts School was thrown into chaos.

"Brother Zhen, where did you guys go to rob so many weapons and equipment?"

"Holy crap! This is a B4-level battle suit!"

"No! Look at the armor that Brother Zhen and Sister Xiaoyuan are wearing, it looks like B6 level armor!"

"Holy crap! I remember the museum master was only wearing B3-level armor. These weapons and equipment are a whole version ahead of the museum master. How did they get these weapons and equipment?"

The players inside the martial arts school were all astonished as they watched Fang Zhen and his group carrying weapons and equipment.

The current mainstream weapons and equipment in the game are only B2 level. Even someone as powerful as the gym leader wears B3 level armor, which already makes many players extremely envious.

After all, the B2-level armor only adds 1,000 kilograms of strength, while the B3-level armor adds 1,600 kilograms. Even if only an apprentice-level player wears it, he will have the strength of a mid-level martial artist.

Unfortunately, the martial arts school has no way to exchange for B3-level armor. At most, a few B2-level armors dropped when they attacked the Twin-Headed Gang. These B2-level armors are now treasures of Luo Wushang and other high-ranking members of the team, and they will never be sold to the public.

The best equipment that ordinary players can buy is B1-level armor, which requires joining a team to purchase.

Now that Fang Zhen and Xiao Yuan have also gone mad, they've managed to acquire a batch of weapons and equipment that surpass the current version. How could this not surprise and intrigue the players? "You want to know?" Fang Zhen looked at the players asking all sorts of questions and couldn't help but laugh. "Unfortunately, it's a secret. You can guess for yourselves. If you want to buy these weapons and equipment, you're welcome to join us. At that time, you can buy anything, not just B4-level armor, but even B6-level armor."

Many players were tempted by the B4-level armor that Fang Zhen was carrying, as well as the higher-level armors.

A B4-level battle armor can increase strength by a full 2000 kilograms. As long as you wear this, even a newbie can instantly become a T1-level player. Not to mention B5 and B6-level battle armor, it's incredibly awesome for newbies to wear it when they go out on missions.

Against those wandering apprentices and near-martial artists, it's a one-punch job.

Just as Fang Zhen was showing off his B6-level armor, Ragnarok, watching all this, said calmly, "Don't you newbies know that he and Xiao Yuan also have access to the test server? These advanced weapons and equipment should all come from advanced dungeons. The game updates very quickly with the arrival of advanced weapons. If you spend a lot of money to buy them now, they might become worthless in a few days. After all, these things will be available in the next version. They are just one step ahead."

"You could have guessed that?" Fang Zhen looked at Ragnarok in surprise.

He originally wanted to make some money from the other teams, since these were advanced weapons and equipment, and he and Xiaoyuan couldn't possibly use so many. Even individual players would find it hard to afford them. In the next version, these weapons and equipment would become very common.

The only way to sell it to other teams for a high price and make a fortune is now. I never expected that Ragnarok would see it so easily.

"What's so hard to guess?" Ragnarok rolled his eyes at Fang Zhen. "These weapons and equipment are clearly not from the current version. There are only five people with Level 1 wilderness exploration privileges right now. You and Xiao Yuan have been away from Crimson Moon Mountain and the martial arts school for a while, so you must have discovered some high-level dungeon while exploring the wilderness. I don't know what method you used to conquer the high-level dungeon, otherwise you wouldn't have so many weapons and equipment."

"How about it? Want to buy some? I can sell them to you at a friendly price," Fang Zhen said with a smile.

"Although I really want to buy one," Ragnarok shook his head, "unfortunately, I don't have the money right now."

"No money? No way, didn't you earn over ten million points from the Twin Heads Gang a while ago?" Fang Zhen looked at Ragnarok Gods strangely.

“It’s all gone.” Ragnarok pointed to the smartwatch on his wrist, his expression filled with regret.

"So many points gone? Where did you spend them?" Fang Zhen was shocked, looking at the more than 10,000 points remaining on the Ragnarok Wristwatch. "Weren't you already a martial artist? Why are you still changing your attributes?"

In Fang Zhen's view, the only possible reason why Ragnarok could spend tens of millions of points so quickly was by changing the attributes of the clothes. Each time it costs 300,000 points, and if you do it dozens of times, you'll lose several million points. It would be easy to spend more than 10 million points.

"I didn't change my clothes' attributes; I used them up during cultivation," Ragnarok said with considerable pleasure.

"Used up for cultivation?" Fang Zhen looked at Ragnarok Gods in surprise, completely unable to understand how cultivation could consume so many points.

"This is a beginner-level gravity chamber that the martial arts school just launched today. It can help with training, and the effect is amazing. However, it costs a lot of points, one million points per hour," Ragnarok explained.

"One million points per hour?! Are you sure the owner isn't robbing us?" Fang Zhen was shocked by the price.

Currently, the internal team price for those B1-level battle armors is only 15 million points, and even then, not many people can afford them.

A B1-grade battle armor, which is hard to obtain and can only be dropped in a dungeon, is only enough for fifteen hours of training in the basic gravity chamber. You could say that even fighting for it wouldn't be that fast.

"You don't understand." Ragnarok laughed, releasing his own life force. "Look at my current level."

"You've reached the intermediate level?" Fang Zhen felt the oppressive aura emanating from that aura, which was clearly beyond the capabilities of a beginner martial artist. It could be said that even he, a beginner martial artist nearing his limit, was far inferior.

Ragnarok was supposed to advance to the Martial Realm a step later than him, but unexpectedly Ragnarok has now surpassed him.

“No, my current strength is 1907.4 kilograms, which is just the limit of the initial stage.” Ragnarok shook his head slightly, then looked at Fang Zhen and said, “Punch me with the Stone-Shattering Fist.”

"Are you sure? My Stone-Shattering Fist has a force of over 4000 kilograms per punch. It can stun even low-level monsters." Fang Zhen reminded Ragnarok, who was full of confidence.

The human body is much weaker than the monster's body. A punch that can stun a low-level monster could be fatal to a low-level martial artist without protective gear or armor.

Ragnarok nodded, still very confident, and said, "It's alright, go ahead and fight, but don't hit my face."

"Alright! Then take this." Although Fang Zhen didn't understand what Ragnarok was going to do, he still threw a Rock-Shattering Fist at Ragnarok's chest.

boom!
The sound, like a cannon shot, immediately echoed throughout the martial arts school warehouse.

"You! Are you alright?" Fang Zhen looked at Ragnarok, who had taken two steps back, in surprise. Although Ragnarok's face was a little red, he clearly seemed to be fine.

"That was a really hard punch." Ragnarok clutched his chest. "Luckily, you only hit me once. If you had hit me a dozen more times, I would have coughed up blood."

"What the hell is this? How can your body be so strong!" Fang Zhen was completely shocked when he saw Ragnarok, who seemed completely unaffected.

He knew very well how powerful his punch was; in the wild, a single punch could make a low-level monster howl in pain. But now, Ragnarok took a Rock-Shattering Fist and was unharmed. It was simply unbelievable.

"I told you, I used all my points for cultivation. This is the effect of cultivation. How is it? Powerful, right?" Ragnarok said proudly. "That primary gravity chamber can be adjusted to twenty times the gravity, which can indeed greatly promote the absorption of energy by the cells in the whole body and greatly help with cultivation. However, I later discovered that this is actually a holy land for cultivating body-strengthening secret techniques."

"The Body Strengthening Secret Technique uses free energy to reshape the cellular structure of the whole body. Under high gravity, if you practice the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, gravity can further compress the cells we reconstruct. The higher the gravity, the greater the density of the reconstructed cells and the more exaggerated their toughness. I am now trying to reconstruct cells under eight times gravity. Forces below six tons can't do much damage to me."

"Moreover, my skin is now almost as good as B1 grade alloy, and my muscles are comparable to B2 grade alloy. It can be said that my body is stronger than that of a low-level monster."

"It's a pity I'm out of points. My Body Strengthening Technique is only at the first level of proficiency, at 43%. I'm not proficient enough in the rapid reconstruction of cells and energy control yet. Otherwise, I was planning to try the nine-times gravity."

"Can a body-strengthening technique really enhance the body to this extent?" Fang Zhen looked at Ragnarok and felt that his B6-level battle armor wasn't so appealing anymore. "No way, I'm going to sell all those scrapped battle armors to the martial arts school right now for points."

Fang Zhen then packaged and sold a large number of unusable B4 to B6 level armors to the martial arts school, leaving Meng Wei, who was in charge of collecting armors, stunned. Although Meng Wei had already acquired many good items from players hunting rogues or from the wild, seeing so many B4 and above level armors still made him feel incredulous.

"Where did you get these armors?" Meng Wei looked at the dozens of scrapped B4-level armors, as well as more than ten B5 and B6-level armors, and couldn't understand how Fang Zhen had obtained them.

"Xiaoyuan and I also went on a rampage and took down a stronghold of Wanxing City in the wild. These armors were all obtained from the Wanxing City garrison," Fang Zhen said without hesitation.

"You attacked Wanxing City?" Meng Wei asked Fang Zhen, his hands trembling slightly.

"Hmm." Fang Zhen nodded. "Coach Meng, if I pay for so many B4-level or higher battle armors at once, will the martial arts school give me a reward?"
