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

Chapter 222 This game is unusual

"Five against one?"

Yi Ye Fuyun stared in astonishment at the five tall bodyguards in front of her, then glanced at her older sister beside her, thinking that her sister was simply joking.

They didn't even tell him about such a rule; they really think he's a superhero.

He knows his own limitations very well. His physical condition is indeed much better than before, but it is still far inferior to that of his older sister.

He was confident he could handle five ordinary people, but the bodyguards in front of him were all real martial arts experts. Moreover, having experienced many battles during the High Martial Arts Tour, he knew very well that these bodyguards had been through many real life-and-death battles and were not comparable to ordinary people.

"Practice your fists by first cultivating your courage. I've taught you that so many times." Ye Qinglu rolled her eyes at Yi Ye Fuyun who was looking over. "You weren't afraid of those monsters, so what are you afraid of now? Fight freely, just don't kill them."

When Yi Ye Fuyun faced several battles involving thousands of people during the High Martial Arts Tour, he fought like a madman. Even when facing a lord monster that was over twenty meters tall and could smash a tall building with a single claw, he would roar and charge at it.

The virtuality of Gao Wu's arrival is 100%, which means it's no different from real combat, except that his physical attributes are higher.

She really couldn't understand how Yi Ye Fuyun could be so afraid of just five people.

After hearing this, Yi Ye Fuyun thought about it and agreed. He wasn't even afraid of those monsters when high-level martial arts descended, so why would he be afraid of an ordinary person whose physical abilities weren't even those of an apprentice?

"A Floating Cloud" pointed at the six bodyguards and said domineeringly, "All of you, come at me at once!"

As soon as Yi Ye Fuyun spoke, the six serious-looking bodyguards in the room immediately laughed. Yi Ye Fuyun was clearly a young master who hadn't experienced much hardship. Let alone dealing with the five of them, he probably wouldn't be a match for any one of them. Now he actually dared to say that he would take them down together. They really hadn't seen such an adorable young master in a long time.

However, the six bodyguards, mindful of their status, did not laugh out loud. Instead, they all looked at the burly man sitting on the sofa and waited for his reply.

"Truly, the student has surpassed the master." The burly man glanced at Ye Qinglu and said with a smile, "I remember that you could only barely hold out for ten seconds against those five back then. Are you sure your brother is alright?"

Ye Qinglu was arrogant back then, and he was already used to it. After all, Ye Qinglu was really talented and had the right to be arrogant.

I just didn't expect Ye Qinglu's younger brother to be even more arrogant. He was a little scared one minute, but the next minute he wanted to challenge six people. I don't know how Ye Qinglu brainwashed him.

"Six it is then." Ye Qinglu surprisingly agreed with Yi Ye Fuyun's idea.

"Since you've said so, then all six of them will come at once. You should know how big the difference in strength is between six people and five. If your brother gets beaten to tears, I won't be responsible." The burly man looked at Ye Qinglu, who had agreed, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. He felt some sympathy for Yi Ye Fuyun and suspected that Ye Qinglu probably hadn't told Yi Ye Fuyun that he had personally trained these six bodyguards.

Six people working together can act like one person; with good teamwork, six people can easily take on a dozen or twenty people.

Even now, Ye Qinglu would be completely overwhelmed by these six bodyguards.

As he spoke, the burly man snapped his fingers, and a beautiful woman in her late twenties walked in.

“Arrange a battle room,” the burly man said casually.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman immediately went to make the arrangements.

Before long, the beautiful receptionist arranged a very spacious battle room. The entire battle room occupied more than 200 square meters, and it could easily accommodate more than a dozen people to practice without feeling crowded.

"Xiao Ye, are you really sure there won't be any problems?" The burly man looked at the two sides preparing in the center of the arena and couldn't help but advise, "My six bodyguards never hold back in a fight. You should know that very well. If your brother ends up in the hospital for a few months, don't blame it on me."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Ye Qinglu nodded, then said seriously, "I've been playing a game recently, and I'd like to borrow your Thousand Swords Diagram to study it."

"Borrow my Thousand Swords Diagram? You're interested in formations too?" the burly man asked in surprise.

Having been a fellow Sky Traveler for many years, Ye Qinglu has almost always been thinking about how to improve his own personal skills, showing absolutely no interest in improving the overall strength of the team.

However, he could understand. After all, he was young and hadn't seen his limits yet. He felt that he had reached his limit and wanted to break through, so he could only start with the whole team. That's why he was studying formations that could allow multiple people to cooperate perfectly and unleash strength far exceeding their own.

The Thousand Swords Diagram is his masterpiece. Once the sword formation is activated, it can withstand forces several times, or even dozens of times, stronger.

This is also one of his biggest trump cards that he plans to use in the Eternal Path of Immortality.

However, although his Thousand Swords Diagram incorporates many ancient formations and was deduced trillions of times by a supercomputer, it also has a huge flaw.

Sword formations with three to five people are manageable; with long-term training, they can coordinate very well. But sword formations with ten or more people, or even more than a hundred, are extremely difficult to master, let alone the thousand-person sword formation of the Thousand Swords Diagram.

“I have indeed become somewhat interested.” Ye Qinglu didn’t hide anything and said slowly, “I’ve been researching the martial arts in that game recently, so I need some formations for reference. You are the most skilled in formations in our team, so I naturally thought of the Thousand Swords Diagram that you’ve been researching.”

“Okay, I’ll send it to you in a bit. Actually, even if you don’t lend it out, I’ll suggest to the guild leader that everyone learn it.” The burly man didn’t seem to care at all, and instead asked curiously, “But I’m a little curious, aren’t you planning to do the open beta of Immortal Path Eternal recently? Why are you so engrossed in other games? Is this game really that fun?”

Among the members of Sky Traveler, Ye Qinglu can be said to be the one who cares the most about Immortal Path Eternal. It is hard to imagine that with Immortal Path Eternal about to launch, Ye Qinglu is not preparing for the launch, but instead playing other games.

Especially those among the Sky Travelers know what the true meaning of the Eternal Immortal Path is: it is the path to becoming a universe explorer.

Double your lifespan and stay young forever—no matter how you look at it, no one could possibly refuse that.

"Yeah, it's really fun, and you've probably heard of this game before." Ye Qinglu nodded. "It's one of the top ten hottest new games this year, High Martial Arts Arrives."

"You mean that game that advertises 100% virtual reality with the arrival of high-level martial arts?" The burly man looked at Ye Qinglu strangely. "Why are you playing that game? The 100% virtual reality of that game is obviously just hype. Even the Eternal Path of Immortality can't achieve that. How could the arrival of high-level martial arts be possible? If they had that kind of technology, they would have been number one in the world long ago."

“No, although I don’t know if that game is 100% virtual,” Ye Qinglu shook her head and said seriously, “I can be sure that the virtuality of that game is far above that of Immortal Path Eternal, and that game is extraordinary. I’m even prepared to suggest that the team leader shift the team’s focus to High Martial Arts Descent.”

"The virtuality is above Immortal Path Eternal, and that game is extraordinary, isn't it?" The burly man was slightly surprised after hearing this, not expecting Ye Qinglu to have such a high opinion of High Martial Descent. However, he quickly advised, "Although I don't know if High Martial Descent is really more fun than Immortal Path Eternal, I can be sure that if you don't play Immortal Path Eternal, your chances of becoming a universe pioneer will be very slim. You'd better not spend too much energy on High Martial Descent."

"If you don't play the Immortal Path Eternal, your hope of becoming a universe pioneer will be very slim. Why is that?" Ye Qinglu looked at the burly man with some surprise. This was the first time she had heard this news.

Ye Qinglu had no doubts about what the burly man said, after all, the burly man was no ordinary person. He was not only the swordsman Thousand Blade Demon who was known to everyone in the virtual game world, but also a veteran of the Sky Travelers.

Even now, she doesn't know the real name or identity of the Thousand Blade Demon. The only thing she knows is that he has a very powerful background, and the big bosses of underground boxing rings all over the country treat him with utmost respect.

The big bosses of those underground boxing rings in various places are all CEOs of large groups and enterprises, which are much more powerful than Xinghuo Fitness Center.

“I can’t go into specifics, but you just need to know that Immortal Path Eternal is a preliminary game for the Cosmic Pioneers. If you don’t participate, it’s like you won’t even make it to the preliminary rounds for the Cosmic Pioneers,” Thousand Blade Evil Ghost explained. “So once Immortal Path Eternal is launched, don’t waste your time on High Martial Descent. Of course, if you’re not very interested in becoming a Cosmic Pioneer, you can continue playing High Martial Descent.”

"A preliminary selection for the Cosmic Pioneer?" Ye Qinglu frowned slightly upon hearing this. If that were the case, she would have to give up on the High Martial Descent and focus on the Eternal Immortal Path, since her goal was to become a Cosmic Pioneer.

Just as Ye Qinglu was having a headache over this, Yi Ye Fuyun on the field also started fighting with the six bodyguards.

Just as the Thousand-Blade Demon had said, the six bodyguards surrounded a floating cloud. They seemed to be of one mind, and after one of them attacked, the other five would simultaneously attack the blind spot of the defending floating cloud. The five positions were also different, and the two fists could not block it at all.

But after the first bodyguard threw a punch, Yi Ye Fu Yun didn't even think twice and instinctively threw a punch to meet it.

Reverse Star Hand!
Although it cannot directly increase strength fourfold in reality, it is still much stronger than the most basic Stone Crushing Fist.

Fists collide.

boom!
With a loud bang, the bodyguard who threw the first punch was sent flying six or seven steps back. His fist was covered in blood, and his entire arm was twisted and broken. He couldn't help but scream in agony.

The other five bodyguards who had attacked stopped at that moment, staring intently at their companion who had been sent flying backward, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The six of them were all in roughly the same physical condition. Although they hadn't reached the peak of human potential, they weren't far off. It would be good if a punch from them could make them take two steps back.

But now, if I take a punch from a hothouse flower like Yiye Fuyun, I'll be sent flying backward with a broken arm. What kind of nonsense is this?

At this moment, not only were the other five bodyguards shocked, but even the Thousand-Blade Demon watching the battle was speechless with astonishment.

These six bodyguards were handpicked by him and trained for many years. Each of them was very capable, and it would take him some time to deal with even one of them.

But now, with just one punch, he has instantly lost his fighting ability.

That's not a fist, it's a cannonball.

"Little Ye, is your younger brother born with superhuman strength?" Thousand Blade Demon couldn't help but ask Ye Qinglu.

He could send a two-meter-tall strong man flying with a single punch. He had only ever seen such power in TV dramas, and he never expected to see it in real life. It was simply unbelievable.

"His strength is quite average, probably about the same as your bodyguards." Ye Qinglu looked at the bodyguard who had been knocked away, her expression showing no surprise. "He just has a special technique for generating power."

After becoming martial artists, their nerve reactions and the sharpness of their five senses have greatly improved in reality. The bodyguards' attacks are not fast for them now, and they can easily dodge and counterattack. Even if surrounded by six people, they can dart out immediately, preventing the six people from forming a complete encirclement, and then take them down one by one with their extremely fast reflexes.

But Yi Ye Fuyun showed no mercy, immediately unleashing the Reverse Star Hand. Fortunately, it only hit his fist; if it had hit his body, he would surely have been killed.

Of course, this kind of attack is not without its price. After all, physical fitness simply cannot keep up with the explosive power of the Reverse Star Hand. At least, Yi Ye Fuyun will be in pain all over his body for several days.

"Can you have such great strength just by mastering the technique of exerting force?" Thousand Blade Demon looked at the bodyguard lying on the ground, feeling that Ye Qinglu was lying to him, but he also knew that Ye Qinglu never lied, and had no reason to lie about such a thing.

"Did he pass the test?" Ye Qinglu asked.

"Can I say it's unqualified?" Thousand Blade Demon said with a wry smile, "The person was sent flying with a single punch. If this kind of divine power is unqualified, then who in the entire group is qualified?"

"This isn't some kind of divine power, it's just a technique." Ye Qinglu looked at the Thousand Blade Demon who still didn't believe her, and couldn't help but raise her hand and punch the stone table in front of her.

Stone-breaking fist!
boom!
Ye Qinglu's small, jade-like hands were like giant hammers, smashing the marble table to pieces.

Ye Qinglu looked at the shattered stone table and said calmly, "Just like this, it's just a matter of technique."

This scene left everyone present, except for Yi Ye Fuyun, completely stunned.

Everyone looked at Ye Qinglu, this beautiful woman, as if she were a monster.

That table, which was half a person tall and made entirely of a single piece of marble, was shattered with a single punch. Is that something a human could do?

"Since you've passed, we'll be leaving now. Don't forget to send over the Thousand Swords Diagram later." Ye Qinglu looked at the still-dazed Thousand Blade Evil Ghost, and without further explanation, simply called Yi Ye Fuyun and left the underground boxing arena.

It wasn't until Ye Qinglu got into the luxury car parked outside the underground boxing ring that this continued.

A Floating Cloud asked hesitantly, "Sister, are you really going to transfer to the Eternal Immortal Path?"

He had heard the words spoken by the Thousand-Blade Demon in the room just now, and he heard them very clearly.

Ye Qinglu is now a major fighting force in their team, and the only one who has mastered the eighth level of martial arts. Once he is promoted to a high-level martial artist, he will be able to injure a low-level lord monster. If he leaves, their team will suffer a great loss.

"After seeing you defeat that bodyguard with one punch, I've come to a realization." Ye Qinglu, driving the car, said with a hint of confidence, "Whether the Eternal Immortal Path is a preliminary selection for the Universe Pioneers or not, one's own strength is the key. It's just a preliminary selection for the Universe Pioneers. I don't believe that after I display my absolute power, those people will still prevent me from becoming a Universe Pioneer."

She has only become a martial artist so far, and she has already made such a great improvement. If she becomes a master of the Bone Forging Realm, one can imagine that the improvement in reality will be even greater. Not to mention that the Bone Forging Realm is not the end point in the High Martial Arts Descent.

Night falls in Yunhai City, on the top floor of the Xinghuo Fitness Center.

Ye Qinglu lay in the virtual game pod, carefully studying the Thousand Swords Diagram sent by the Thousand Blade Evil Ghost. The more she studied it, the more amazed she became. She never expected that the Thousand Blade Evil Ghost could create such an incredible sword formation.

Ye Qinglu originally intended to use the Thousand Swords Diagram sent by the Thousand Blade Demon as a reference. After all, her attack method of using the Three Lightning Styles was too monotonous. For those martial arts masters, dodging it would not be difficult. At most, they would just catch her off guard. Therefore, she planned to use the formation to improve her attack pattern.

But after further research, she discovered that the Thousand Swords Diagram was like another world, opening the door to a new world for her.

The more swords one can control, the greater the power one can unleash. Theoretically, the combination of a thousand swords can even unleash hundreds of times the power.

"If I could combine all the swords right now, I could probably kill a high-level lord with a single strike," Ye Qinglu exclaimed. "Unfortunately, my current mental strength can only control a maximum of forty swords, and the sword formation I can form is a giant sword formation made up of thirty-six swords, so the maximum power I can unleash is only eight times."

Just as Ye Qinglu was further researching and improving the system, the countdown for the system update in the virtual game pod also ended.

"Finally finished updating, I can go and give it a try now." Ye Qinglu looked at the updated High Martial Arts World and immediately connected.

Obsidian Martial Arts School.

As midnight approached, five hundred new players suddenly filled the underground detention room of the martial arts school, while veteran players also logged on one after another, making the once quiet Obsidian Martial Arts School lively again.
