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

Chapter 217 This is the bottom line for martial arts school disciples

Initial gravity chamber.

After resting for only a short while, Lin Qi felt that the stinging and swelling caused by the integration of energy into all the cells of his body quickly disappeared, and even the damaged cells in his internal organs were completely restored at this moment.

Its recovery ability is so strong that it's on a completely different level from the first level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique.

After fully recovering, Lin Qi immediately felt a sense of ease throughout his body. Even in an environment with sixteen times the gravity, he could move around easily, as if he had always lived under such gravity.

"Is the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique really this powerful?" Lin Qi opened his attribute panel and couldn't help but gasp.

The first level of the body-strengthening technique cultivated in the primary gravity chamber already has an amazing effect.

Although this improvement is not immediately apparent, his overall physical attributes have increased by as much as 30%, which is equivalent to having a permanent 30% increase in physical attributes. This is the result of specific tests he underwent in various aspects such as strength, speed, and reaction speed.

Because of this buff, the power of his true punch has increased from 20% to 50%, reaching nearly 8,000 kilograms. He is not far from the bottom line of 9,000 kilograms at the mid-level of the Bone Forging Realm, and his physical strength is comparable to that of a mid-level monster.

But the second level of the body-strengthening technique he has now mastered is even more exaggerated.

Just by practicing, the stats in all aspects of the attribute panel have seen an amazing improvement.

Host: Lin Qi.

Age: 25.

Administrator authority: Level 1.

Authority level: Level 2 preferential admission authority.

Martial Arts Level: High-level Martial Artist.

Strength: 5331.2 + 3200 kg. (Standard for a beginner-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist: 6000 kg)

Speed: 73.6 + 32 meters per second. (Standard for a beginner-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist: 80 meters per second)
Internal organs: 73.3% of internal training and strengthening has been completed.

Training method: Startling Breathing Method (Mastery of the second level of the Six Forms of Ghostly Light 21%, Mastery of the second level of Cloud and Mist Transformation 20%, Mastery of the third level of Reverse Star 25%)

"Now, in terms of pure strength and speed, I should be able to rival even the weakest high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist." Lin Qi looked at the attribute data displayed by the system and felt it was somewhat unreal.

Although he is currently only a high-level martial artist, his stats have already given him the strength to challenge a true high-level Bone Forging Realm expert.

With his own strength plus the power boost from the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, he had already reached 8531.2 kilograms. With the 50% power buff, his true strength was a whopping 12796.5 kilograms, which had already exceeded the 12000 kilograms limit for the high-level Bone Forging Realm.

While this level of power might not be on par with experts like Liu Tianzong in the entire City of Light, it still places him among the top in the city.

Even the weakest races in the City of Light, whose strongest members are only at the early stage of the Bone Forging Realm, are qualified to participate in the city's highest-level meetings.

Just as Lin Qi was about to test the physical strength of the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, the smart watch on his wrist suddenly rang.

"Master, Qin Mu has brought two half-beastmen at the Bone Forging Realm. He says he has important matters to discuss. Should we see them?" Meng Wei asked.

"A Beastman expert at the Bone Forging Realm? Is this important?" Lin Qi thought for a moment. It seemed that there were no Beastmen living in the City of Light, but since it was a Bone Forging Realm expert, he had to take it seriously. "Alright, let them go to the reception room on the third floor. I'll go there in a bit."

Now the martial arts school has completed its expansion. With more and more people coming and going, the first-floor lounge is no longer suitable for discussing matters, so several meeting rooms have been set up on the third floor of the school, which has made the school more formal.

“Then I’ll take them there right away.” Meng Wei then hung up the call.

After Meng Wei hung up the communication, he arrived at the training ground of the martial arts school. At this time, a man and a woman with beast ears and whose blood energy was suppressed made the disciples of the martial arts school dare not approach the training ground. They even dared not look directly at the man and woman, for fear of arousing the dissatisfaction of the two Bone Forging Realm experts and being killed by them.

In the city, martial artists are already considered unapproachable by most people, and those who have reached the Bone Forging Realm are legends among legends, the true big shots of the city.

Although the disciples who joined the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy knew that the academy master, Lin Qi, was also a Bone Forging Realm expert, and that other Bone Forging Realm experts shouldn't cause trouble, if they did, Lin Qi could easily kill them. Even if they died, it would be pointless for him to do anything to a Bone Forging Realm expert, so naturally they dared not show the slightest disrespect.

Of all the players in the martial arts school, only the players seemed indifferent; instead, they all looked at the two with great excitement.

"Is this what a half-beast race looks like? They're so cool! Those ears, that tail... I wonder if we'll ever have a chance to become half-beasts. If we could, I'd be willing to pay any amount of money."

"This half-beast is indeed quite handsome, but I still prefer the demigods. They are more functional. I have fought against demigods with four arms before, and the advantage I gained in that battle was extraordinary."

"Whether it's strong or not is just a matter of one version; what matters is how good-looking it is for a lifetime. Look how cute those fluffy ears are. I wonder if I can touch them a couple of times. If I can touch them, I'm willing to spend a thousand points."

"I advise you not to act recklessly. These two NPCs are obviously not simple. Last time, I asked Jacques whether she liked gorillas or monkeys. Now I have to pay double the points to exchange for potions at the potion workshop."

"Brother, you're ruthless enough to ask such a question. If you had asked the curator, I reckon you would either be in solitary confinement for the rest of your life or locked up with the apes."

……

Inside the martial arts hall, the players watched the two half-orcs chattering with increasing excitement. Meanwhile, Igor and Dona, on the training ground, felt something eerie about the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall after arriving there, especially among the disciples dressed in silver-gray attire.

"This Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is really interesting. Those disciples dressed in silver-gray uniforms don't seem to be afraid of us at all." Igor looked at the silver-gray-clad disciples who were scrutinizing them closely and was quite surprised.

In this dog-eat-dog world, the weak fear the strong; it's almost instinctive for them. As experts in the Bone Forging Realm, even high-level martial artists dare not look them in the eye, for fear of displeasing them and causing trouble.

However, after they entered the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, the disciples dressed in silver-gray uniforms, even those who were only apprentices, still looked them over without any scruples, as if they were not afraid of them causing trouble in the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy at all.

"Brother, according to the information I had previously gathered about the people who attacked the Shadow Panther King in the wilderness, those people should be from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy." After carefully checking the silver-gray clothing worn by the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy disciples, Donna said in a low voice, "I just took a closer look, and I can now confirm that the clothing worn by those who attacked the Shadow Panther King is exactly the same as that of these people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy."

"Is this the Shadow Panther King they attacked?" Upon hearing this, Igor's gaze towards the Obsidian Martial Arts School members became more cautious.

He knew a little about Donna's encounter with the Shadow Leopard King on her way to the front lines to transport supplies. After all, even the entire Orc race had to be careful around a mid-level lord like the Shadow Leopard King. Especially since, according to Donna, that Shadow Leopard King was no ordinary mid-level lord and was evolving towards becoming a high-level lord.

Even the half-beast race wouldn't dare provoke such a Shadow Leopard King. After all, even top-tier beings at the Bone Forging Realm could only manage a one-on-one fight; the only ones truly capable of killing a high-level lord in a one-on-one battle were city lords. Yet, the people of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy dared to provoke it, even causing the Shadow Leopard King to flee. This is enough to prove that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy must possess the strength to make the Shadow Leopard King tremble; otherwise, as a top predator in the wilderness, it would never have fled.

As for the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, he wouldn't even know it existed if it hadn't caused dissatisfaction in Wanxing City by establishing Crimson Moon Town.

If he had paid any attention to the Obsidian Martial Arts School before, it was only because of Lucius's death.

Killing Lucius, one of the top ten graduates from the genius training camp this year, was no easy task, but Lucius died just like that.

Now that the Obsidian Martial Arts School has the ability to hunt down the Shadow Leopard King, he has to be cautious, or rather, he has to reconsider his attitude towards the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

Although he represented the will of Wanxing City, the task was actually accomplished by him and Dona, with the help of the half-orcs at most.

Just as Igor was pondering how to deal with the Obsidian Martial Arts School issue, Meng Wei also came over and led the three of them to the reception room on the third floor.

"Deacon Qin, I heard you've known the master of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy for a long time," Igor said with a smile as they walked. "Did you know how long the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has existed in the City of Light?"

"Not long. I met Master Lin not long before he founded the Obsidian Martial Arts School." Qin Mu didn't hide anything and said directly, "At most, it was only one or two months."

"It's only been a month or two, and it's already grown to this size?" Igor looked at Qin Mu strangely, thinking that Qin Mu was joking with him.

At this moment, looking around the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, there were more than ten visible martial artists. According to the information gathered, the total number of martial artists in the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is probably over fifty.

Lin Qi was only recognized as a Bone Forging Realm expert. Even if Lin Qi had hidden his strength and was already a Bone Forging Realm expert, it was unlikely that he could have developed from nothing to having so many martial artists, let alone in a month or two, or even a year or two.

He could sense the energy and blood of the beginner-level martial artists in the martial arts school. That was something that ordinary martial artists could not achieve. Their potential was at least at the excellent level, which meant that they had a high chance of being admitted to the genius training camp.

Even if a faction wanted to cultivate such talents, even the half-beast race of Wanxing City could only produce a dozen or so a year, and that was with all their resources. Under normal circumstances, they could only cultivate a few a year, most of whom were over twenty-five years old.

But what are these beginner-level martial artists from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?

Those martial arts disciples who could be seen with the naked eye, dressed in silver-gray clothing, were generally under twenty-five years old. If it were said that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy had poured all its resources into training them over a year or two, he could believe it to some extent.

To train so many people in just one or two months? You can't fool a ghost like that.

"Lord Igor, it's true. Although I understand that the development speed of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is astonishing, I still find it hard to believe. But all the information was carefully investigated in the City of Light and can be found." Qin Mu looked at the martial artists in the academy with deep emotion.

Back then, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy didn't have a single martial artist, let alone a prospective one. But in just one or two months, martial artists were everywhere in the Academy. The speed of its growth was unbelievable, but it was the truth.

"Can a master who has just reached the Bone Forging Realm really develop a force to this extent in just one or two months?" Igor looked at Qin Mu, whose expression was completely genuine, and knew that Qin Mu was probably not lying. However, having been involved in the cultivation of talent in his clan for several years, he still felt that such a thing was impossible.

This is definitely not something an ordinary Bone Forging Realm force could accomplish.

Just as Igor was deep in thought, several figures suddenly rushed out of the meditation room on the third floor and jumped directly from the third floor.

The leader was a young woman from the Half-Scaled Clan. As they jumped from the third floor, it was as if they were walking down a staircase, descending step by step from mid-air.

This scene left Igor and Dona, who were following behind Meng Wei and included Qin Mu, completely stunned.

"Flying through the air!"

"Could they be experts of that level?"

Igor and Donna stared intently at Xia Ling and the others as they landed, their eyes filled with astonishment and terror.

They had only witnessed the phenomenon of levitation once by sheer luck, and that time was when the city lord of Wanxing City fought against a high-level flying lord in mid-air. The scene was one they would never forget.

Now, eight people were demonstrating their ability to traverse the air right before their eyes, which was ten times more shocking than the battle they had witnessed back then.

Qin Mu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared in disbelief at what was happening before him. How could a person fly?

"You lot, how many times have I told you, go downstairs normally, don't treat it as practice," Meng Wei said, looking at Xia Ling and the others who were starting to organize and train the martial arts school disciples.

"Commander Mengwei, do all the martial arts disciples of your Obsidian Martial Arts Academy know this?" Igor couldn't help but ask Mengwei.

“I don’t know if other martial arts disciples can do it, but the master made sure that all of us members of the garrison could fly. He said that this is the bottom line for becoming a true disciple of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy,” Meng Wei explained.

"Is being able to fly the minimum requirement to become a true disciple of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?" After hearing this, Donna felt like she had come to the wrong place. They must have accidentally wandered into another world when they entered.

A city lord-level powerhouse!
It turns out that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is just the threshold to becoming a true disciple. Is this Obsidian Martial Arts Academy the same one they know, and not the one where the city lord of the domain city recruits disciples?

"No! They don't have the terrifying aura of the City Lord." Igor quickly realized that Xia Ling and the others were definitely not beings like the City Lord. Even if the City Lord restrained his aura, he would still make experts in the Bone Forging Realm tremble with fear. It was a suppression that came at the level of life itself, let alone eight beings of that level. "They must have mastered some kind of martial art that allows them to traverse through the air!"

"Isn't he someone like the city lord?" Dona couldn't help but look closely at Xia Ling and the others, and found that she indeed couldn't sense the difference brought about by that level of life among Xia Ling and the others.

Even so, Donna still found it unbelievable when she looked at Xia Ling and the others.

A mere martial artist, yet he can traverse the air in mid-air—I've never even heard of such a martial skill before.

While Donna and Igor were completely baffled, Monwe led them to the door of the third-floor reception room.

"Please come in, both of you." Meng Wei opened the door, looked at the two men, and said with a smile, "The Master is inside now."

"The master of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?" Igor looked at the open door to the reception room, his expression becoming much more serious. For a moment, he was unsure whether he should go in.

The Obsidian Martial Arts School in front of him was completely different from the Obsidian Martial Arts School he knew.
