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

Chapter 233 The Day Is About to Change

Inside the intermediate training room of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

As Lin Qi raised the club in his hand, Fred, who had turned to run away, suddenly felt as if his whole body was being pulled, constantly moving closer to Lin Qi, and the pulling force was getting stronger and stronger.

Even Donna, who was standing at the doorway dozens of meters away, had to hold onto the wall to avoid being pulled in by the powerful force.

"What kind of martial arts technique is that?"

Fred watched as it seemed as if the entire atmosphere of the world was converging on Lin Qi, and the space around Lin Qi was distorted at that moment, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

This feeling was just like when he was still in the mid-stage of the Bone Forging Realm, facing a high-level lord—extremely dangerous.

"No! He must be stopped!"

Fred barely hesitated, and held nothing back any longer. He gripped the four bone knives, ready to unleash his signature four-armed swordsmanship technique on Lin.

Super-level martial skill Blood Shadow, second level: Rainfall!

This move can be said to be his strongest martial skill, and it is also a famous martial skill in Wanxing City, known to everyone.

Originally, this was a move that an assassin should never use, because if it were recorded, it would be a solid proof of his identity. But now, compared to his own life, whether his identity is exposed or not is no longer important.

However, just as Fred was gathering his strength and preparing to swing the knife, he suddenly found it difficult to lift the bone knife, as if he were surrounded by reinforced concrete, and he couldn't even breathe.

Donna, watching from a distance, was stunned as she saw Fred unable to move and pinned to the ground.

A master at the peak of the Bone Forging Realm, who was also wearing second-tier battle armor, could not even stand up in front of Lin Qi.

Donna could hardly imagine how high the atmospheric pressure surrounding Lin Qi must be to render even a high-level expert in the Limit Bone Forging Realm powerless to resist.

Once Lin Qi finished compressing, an optical distortion phenomenon was observed in the space with a radius of ten meters centered on Lin Qi. From the outside, it looked as if Lin Qi was surrounded by a giant dome, while Fred was lying on the ground, unable to move at all.

Fred watched this scene with utter terror in his heart.

This caused the atmosphere within an unknown radius to concentrate at a single point, and the internal atmospheric pressure even rendered him unable to move. If this were released, it's unimaginable how terrifying the destructive power would be.

Just as Fred was about to say something, Lin Qi didn't give him a chance. He suddenly mobilized all his strength, compressing the air within a ten-meter radius into his palm, and struck Fred on the back.

Extraordinary martial arts skills with divine power!

boom!
Suddenly, a pillar of light shot into the sky from the entire Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, and the terrifying impact even traveled several kilometers outside the hall. Everyone felt the ground shake violently.

Inside the martial arts school, the intermediate training room was completely unrecognizable. The roof was gone, and the rooms on the second and third floors were gone, allowing moonlight to shine directly down.

As for the ground, there was a hole tens of meters deep, and at the bottom of the hole lay Fred, who was dead beyond any doubt.

Although Fred's Tier 2 armor only had some dents on the back, the terrifying impact had shattered Fred's internal organs and brain.

"do you died?"

Donna stared at Fred at the bottom of the cave, her heart filled with turmoil.

Although she and her brother had thought Lin Qi was very strong before, and that his strength might reach the high level of the Bone Forging Realm, they did not expect him to be this strong.

A fully armed, high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist was completely outmatched; this level of strength clearly indicates that he is not an ordinary high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist.

The move Lin Qi is using now is clearly not an ordinary martial art; it is very likely a legendary extraordinary martial art. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill a martial artist at the peak of the Bone Forging Realm in one move.

Extraordinary martial arts skills!

This martial art is so rare that only a handful of people in the entire Wanxing City possess it; those who do are all experts at the level of deputy city lord.

According to the information gathered, Lin Qi should be around twenty-five years old. A deputy city lord-level expert around twenty-five years old is something I've never even heard of.

On the other side, Lin Qi, having used up his divine power, looked slightly pale, but his spirits were exceptionally refreshed.

"This Divine Might is truly a remarkable martial skill. Not only does it consume a great deal of physical strength, but it also consumes an exceptionally large amount of mental energy." Lin Qi, feeling that he could only perceive a radius of eight meters at present, couldn't help but want to use it a few more times.

His mind is now too powerful, causing severe mental strain. He was initially struggling with how to deal with this problem, but now he realizes that occasionally unleashing his divine power should solve the mental strain.

However, Kamui also consumes a great deal of his own strength. At his current level, he can only use it twice. After that, he will be exhausted. It is not a martial art that can be used casually.

After assessing his own condition, Lin Qi jumped into the cave and began learning how to loot the spoils from the players.

"Luckily, the armor and weapons are still usable, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss this time." Lin Qi looked at the stripped dark blue armor and four snow-white bone knives, and couldn't help but look at Fred, who was already beyond dead, and thought that this man was really too poor.

He wasn't carrying anything valuable; all he had was a set of dark blue Tier 2 armor and four decent-looking Tier 2 bone swords. He didn't have anything else of value, not even a single energy crystal. He was even poorer than him.

Just as Lin Qi finished looting the spoils and was about to leave, Donna jumped down from outside the cave, curious about who dared to assassinate a Bone Forging Realm martial artist in the city.

When Donna saw Fred's appearance, she was completely stunned.

"Fred the Four-Armed Swordsman!" Donna stared at Fred on the ground, her eyes filled with disbelief. "How could this be! How could it be him!"

"Do you know him?" Lin Qi asked curiously, looking at the stunned Donna.

"What do you mean 'know him'? There's probably not a single martial artist in the entire Wanxing City who doesn't know him," Donna said, her voice trembling slightly. "He's a legend of the Demon Race! A genius who entered the Domain City three years ago!"

Domain City is the dream of countless martial artists who graduate from the genius training camp, and for many years, no one from the half-beast race has been admitted to Domain City.

The geniuses who enter the domain city are all unattainable figures for graduates of the genius training camp. Their future achievements are limitless. Generally, as long as they return to the city to develop, they can at least become the commander of the city garrison or the deputy city lord. However, very few people are willing to return.

Now that a legendary figure who had passed the entrance exam for the Domain City had been killed, Donna couldn't even imagine what would happen if this news got out.

"A genius who got into Domain City?" Lin Qi looked at Fred, who was bleeding from all seven orifices, and was surprised that he was quite someone important. After he came to this world, he had heard some things about Domain City, although there was very little information about it. Ordinary people had only heard the name Domain City and knew it as if it were the capital city of a province on Blue Star, the core city of a domain.

However, this domain city is not a place that anyone can enter at will. Only those who pass the domain city's assessment can enter, or they are the city lords of major cities. As for others, forget about it.

As for the situation in Domain City, very few people know about it, and even fewer people come out of Domain City, as if it were isolated from all other cities.

But one thing is certain: in the region where the City of Light is located, the Domain City is the most powerful force, and all other cities must obey its orders, including their city lords.

"This matter must not be known to anyone else. Before the garrison arrives, quickly destroy the evidence!" Donna looked at Lin Qi, who had a calm expression, and didn't know what to say for a moment. She reminded him repeatedly, "Although he is an assassin, according to the ironclad rules of each city, no one will say anything. However, he is not an ordinary Bone Forging Realm expert. Moreover, I have not heard any news about Fred returning to the city to develop his career, which means that he is still a member of Domain City. If the people of Domain City find out, even the City of Light may not be able to keep you here."

She knew all too well the power within the Domain City. Back then, a deputy city lord of Wanxing City offended a Bone Forging Realm martial artist from the Domain City, and as a result, that deputy city lord was sent to guard a key front-line town the very next day and has not been able to return to the city since.

She had not received any news of Fred returning to the city, which meant that Fred was still a resident of the city and must have returned to do something, something that was common in all cities.

Now that Fred is dead, if the people of Domain City find out, they may not say anything openly, but if they ask the City of Light to do something in private, the City of Light will have no choice but to comply.

After listening, Lin Qi pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile, "No need! Let everyone know."

"Are you crazy?" Donna looked at Lin Qi, who refused, completely baffled as to what he was thinking.

Putting aside the fact that this matter will definitely enrage the Demon Clan of Wanxing City, the fact that it has brought shame to the Domain City will likely ruin the future of both Lin Qi and the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

"Enough said, it seems the garrison has arrived." Lin Qi simply smiled, glancing at the several flying transport vehicles that appeared in the sky.

He wasn't worried about the fact that the city directly attacked him, because the ironclad rule that martial artists in the city couldn't fight each other was originally issued by the city, and the city wouldn't contradict itself.

With his current strength, he's not afraid of anyone except those at the level of a city lord.

Even if someone at the level of a city lord were to target him, he could simply run away as soon as possible.

Previously, he was restricted to the Obsidian Martial Arts School in the City of Light and could not leave the city at all, but now he can establish branch schools.

He didn't care much about the reward for this branch at first; he just thought that he could create a place with a training room and a gravity room in another location.

However, after examining the branch more closely, he discovered that it was not just what he had imagined, but rather had the ability to attract players.

In other words, he can now directly attract players by establishing a branch anywhere, no longer limited to the Obsidian Martial Arts School in the City of Light.

As long as he has players around, he can simply hide in the deep mountains and forests and develop slowly. He doesn't believe that those city lord-level experts are idle every day and would be looking for him in the deep mountains and forests.

Furthermore, if he wants to improve his strength quickly, the players first need to improve quickly as well, which requires a large amount of martial arts resources. As the owner of a martial arts school, it is too difficult for him to obtain these resources.

But if he becomes a master capable of killing geniuses in the domain city, then he will have much more say in the city and much more things he can do, especially the development of Crimson Moon Town. Those who were worried about whether he, a newcomer to the Bone Forging Realm, could hold onto the vagrants and city residents will no longer have any doubts.

To put it simply, fame allows Obsidian Martial Arts School to develop faster, which in turn allows him to improve more quickly.

It could be said that killing Fred was not only not a problem, but a good thing.

Above the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, several B6-class flying transport vehicles had just come to a stop when several figures jumped down, all landing at the Academy, causing a mix of fear and curiosity among the vagrants on the street.

"What's going on? Why are the city garrison troops here?"

"Holy crap! Those guys look like the commander of the city's garrison!"

"Why would such important figures come to the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy? Has something serious happened there?"

Many apprentices familiar with the City of Light and members of various factions gasped in shock as they looked at the figures landing on the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy training ground.

Besides fighting monsters in the wild, another task of the city garrison is to maintain order in the city.

Normally, if a city garrison is mobilized, it would be good if there were even one captain-level expert. But now, a full three city garrison commanders have arrived. Such a grand gesture has not happened in the City of Light for decades.

"Is this where experts at the Bone Forging Realm fight?" A half-scaled woman wearing deep red second-tier battle armor looked around the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and couldn't help but ask the three-eyed bald man next to her.

"The drone's detection indicates that there are Bone Forging Realm martial artists fighting here. The fluctuations are extremely large. Based on preliminary estimations of their qi and blood, they are at least mid-level Bone Forging Realm martial artists." The bald man from the Three-Eyed Clan nodded, his expression very serious. "But for some reason, they have stopped now, and the drones around here have not detected any other Bone Forging Realm experts. They should not have left this place."

“In any case, let’s be careful. Since that person dared to make a move in the city, he must be quite skilled,” the one-eyed ape-man beside him warned. “If he gets away, the three of us will be in big trouble.”

The half-scaled woman and the three-eyed bald man nodded and followed the one-eyed ape man carefully into the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

As the three leaders who stayed behind in the City of Light, each of them possessed the strength of the high-level Bone Forging Realm. If the Bone Forging Realm expert they were fighting escaped while the three of them were acting together, it would be a huge embarrassment. Perhaps the city lord would not allow them to stay behind for the next city defense mission.

As the three carefully made their way to the intermediate training room of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, seeing the ruins inside, they became even more certain that the battle between the two sides was intense and that their strength was considerable, definitely at the mid-stage of the Bone Forging Realm.

Having been watching Lin Qi and Dona inside the cave, the three of them couldn't help but focus intently, tensing all their nerves.

"Were you two fighting just now?" The half-scaled woman looked at Lin Qi and Dona, and the mechanical device in her hand immediately scanned the two of them to investigate their identities.

“No.” Lin Qi shook his head and pointed to the demon man lying on the ground. “This demon man came to my martial arts school to assassinate me. Donna is a guest of our school and she even recorded what happened.”

“It was indeed an assassination attempt.” The half-scaled woman nodded. Lin Qi’s account matched their guesses. She then praised, “Master Lin, you are truly amazing. It is said that you have only just entered the Bone Forging Realm, yet you have managed to withstand an assassination attempt by a Bone Forging Realm expert.”

"Now that the assassins have been dealt with, let's verify their identities and head back." The bald man from the three-eyed tribe didn't give Lin Qi a friendly look.

The Obsidian Martial Arts School has been making waves lately, even rising to power by stepping on the corpses of the monsters from their Three-Eyed Clan's garrison, which has left him with a bad impression of Lin Qi, the school's leader.

Just as the three-eyed bald man was about to leave, the ape-man who was investigating the assassin's identity suddenly spoke up.

"You two, come quick! Something terrible has happened!" The ape-man stared intently at the demon-man lying on the ground and exclaimed, "This man is the Four-Armed Sword Demon Fred!"
