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

Chapter 244 Don't you know? We are a race that can change our fighting power.

"Lord Hao Wan, shall we make a move?"

The five members of Smiling Skull watched Fang Zhen and Yi Ye Fu Yun chatting and couldn't help but quietly ask their leader, Hao Wan.

By this time, they realized that the people in front of them were either a bunch of lunatics or fearless fools who had no idea what kind of beings the Smiling Skull really were.

"Alright, you guys quickly take care of these people, I'm going to chase after Precia." Hao Wan nodded, his previous doubts about Fang Zhen and the others completely gone.

Regardless of whether Fang Zhen and the others knew what the Smiling Skull was, or why they were looking at them with the eyes of prey, it was just a force from the City of Light, not worth wasting any more of his time. Taking down Precia was the most important thing.

The moment Hao Wan finished speaking, he vanished from his spot, like a cannonball, passing right past Fang Zhen and the others, creating a gust of wind that nearly blew them away.

By the time Fang Zhen and the other three reacted, a giant-like arm, nearly six meters tall, appeared in front of Precia, hundreds of meters away, its presence as if a typhoon had swept through the area.

"You actually learned the Storm Step!"

Precia, who had originally planned to watch the show to recover her strength, suddenly became much more serious when she saw the large arm that appeared in front of her in an instant.

Super-level martial art: Storm Step!
This is a footwork technique that was almost on par with the Illusion Step at the Four Regions Youth Competition a year ago. It is also the latest super-level martial skill researched by the Tianhe Region and is currently the super-level martial skill with the strongest speed burst.

Upon reaching the third level of perfection, one's speed can be increased by more than two times, allowing a normal high-level martial artist at the limit of Bone Forging Realm to directly break the speed of sound.

In a pure speed contest, the Illusion Step simply can't compare.

“Precia, you’re not the only one making progress in this world. I’ve said it before, even if you weren’t injured, you’re not necessarily my match now.” Hao Wan said, and slammed his giant hammer down.

Super-level martial skill: Roar of the Earth!

The giant hammer, wielded by Hao Wan, unleashed a terrifying storm of force, striking Precia's head like a rocket.

However, Precia reacted quickly, almost instantly using Illusion Step to dodge the hammer at the last second.

boom!
The giant hammer struck the ground, shattering the valley floor as if a volcanic eruption had occurred, creating a towering column of smoke that could be seen even from over ten kilometers away.

After Precia dodged the attack, she retaliated with a slash.

Hao Wan used Storm Step to dodge and landed on Precia's side. Precia's diagonal slash was like a piece of canvas being cut off, leaving a cut mark on the ground that was hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters deep.

For a moment, the two sides went back and forth, as if two giant beasts hundreds of meters tall were fighting, and the terrain of the entire valley changed every second.

While the two were fighting fiercely, Xiao Yuan, who was far away, was excitedly commentating on the scene.

"Brothers, haven't you always been curious about battles in the Bone Forging Realm? This is a battle in the Bone Forging Realm. You could say every second is burning through the budget. But their movements are so fast that ordinary people probably can't even keep up. Only martial artists like me can barely see them clearly." Xiao Yuan also explained frantically as she spoke. "As for the Mountain of the Dead, I don't recommend that people below the level of martial artists come here. The danger level here is two levels higher than that of the Wilderness. Newcomers who want to start out in the Wilderness should start from there. Otherwise, they'll die instantly in a mission like this."

"Moreover, once you reach the level of a martial artist, movement techniques and footwork become increasingly important. For example, when these two were fighting, although the woman was injured, she was still able to fight back and forth thanks to her agile footwork. Therefore, I suggest that newcomers must work on their footwork, so that they will have a higher survival rate and save money in the outside world."

While Xiaoyuan was live-streaming wildly, Fang Zhen, Yiye Fuyun, and others present realized what was happening and started taking photos to record the moment.

The clash between two Bone Forging Realm bosses, coupled with such a grand spectacle, is a rare sight in the game. It would be a shame not to take a picture to commemorate it. It can also be used as the desktop background of the game pod. Imagine having such a stunning scene every time you turn on the computer. It's quite impressive.

Such a spectacular scene could even be used as a promotional CG for a game without any problem.

However, Fang Zhen and his group's actions left the five Smiling Skull members who were about to make their move dumbfounded. They wondered if Fang Zhen and his group of seven were mentally unstable or if they had already disregarded life and death.

Facing the five high-level Bone Forging Realm warriors, Fang Zhen and his group of seven acted as if they didn't even see them. They even had the leisure to watch the battle between Captain Hao Wan and Precia, and would occasionally make comments, as if they had come to the Dead Mountain Range for a picnic and had no idea what death was.

If other people saw this, they might think that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy was some kind of formidable force, one that even the Smiling Skull wouldn't dare to touch.

"These people must all be idiots. Let's make a move. Lord Hao Wan probably can't take them down by himself in a short time. If other teams come over, we'll lose half of our credit." The half-beastman man suggested to his companions as he looked at Fang Zhen and the others who were chatting and laughing.

The other four nodded in agreement, feeling that they couldn't delay any longer. The sooner they dealt with Fang Zhen and his group of seven, the sooner they could complete the mission. Moreover, the Mountain of the Dead was extremely dangerous. Even though they were familiar with the situation in the Mountain of the Dead, they couldn't let a battle last too long, or everyone would be in danger of perishing.

After the five members of the Smiling Skull group revealed their killing intent, Fang Zhen and the others sensed it immediately and turned their attention back to the five members of the Smiling Skull group.

"There are five of them. Should we attack all of them, or send one person from each side?" Fang Zhen asked loudly to Yi Ye Fuyun opposite him.

"Let's finish this quickly. Whoever kills it keeps it. I don't want anyone else coming to steal the loot," One Leaf Floating Cloud replied loudly in return.

"Alright, let's finish this quickly." Fang Zhen nodded, his gaze involuntarily turning to the five members of the Smiling Skull.

"You ignorant fools! A bunch of Refining Organs Realm cultivators dare to bare their teeth at us!" The half-beastman, the Smiling Skull, almost laughed in anger when he saw Fang Zhen and the others showing murderous intent towards them. His blood and qi suddenly erupted, intending to give Fang Zhen and the others a warning and make them sober up.

As the half-beastman's blood and qi erupted, the aura of Fang Zhen and his six companions also suddenly surged, as if a terrifying beast had awakened, with life force surging wildly in all directions like a tidal wave.

"This...how is this possible!"

"What exactly happened? Why did their life force suddenly become so strong?"

The five members of the Smiling Skull were shocked to see Fang Zhen and the others' life force suddenly change, wondering if they had lost their minds.

The seven people who were like sheep before now felt like seven giant beasts, with an astonishingly terrifying life force. Even a high-level lord would be far inferior to them in the face of such life force.

As Fang Zhen and the others used the Star Energy Construct Technique, Hao Wan and Precia, who were fighting in the distance, also stopped at the same time and looked in the direction from which the life force was coming from.

"Damn it! Could it be that the battle lasted too long and attracted those things?" Hao Wan was also terrified the moment he sensed the terrifying life force. "Seven? How is that possible!"

The reason why even the Domain City dares not set foot in the Mountain of the Dead is because of the calamity-level monsters that make the Domain City extremely troublesome.

If even one of them occurs, it will be a catastrophe!
At this moment, not only was Hao Wan startled by this sudden life force, but Precia was also extremely shocked.

What right did they have to attract seven Calamity-level monsters with the commotion of their battle? However, after the two realized that the life force came from Fang Zhen and the others, their shocked expressions turned strange.

"How can their life force be so strong?" Precia looked at Fang Zhen and the others, her heart filled with confusion and doubt.

Life force cannot be increased at will; it requires increasing vitality. However, increasing vitality is far from easy, and even the Domain City has no good methods. The only way to increase vitality is to use some rare flowers and herbs, but the increase is quite limited.

It's impossible for them to have vitality increased a hundredfold like Fang Zhen and the others, and their entire bodies seem to be wrapped in something, like wearing a transparent coat, which also causes their hair and silver-gray long coats to move inexplicably without wind.

After Fang Zhen and the others' life force surged, the seven of them attacked the Smiling Skull almost simultaneously.

Of the seven people, only Dark Judgment had recently advanced to the initial stage of martial arts; the other six were all high-level martial arts practitioners. In fact, Fang Zhen, Ye Qinglu, Chen Ya, Li Ranxing, and Xiao Yuan Ye Kuang were all already at the extreme high-level martial arts practitioners.

After the five people used the semi-finished Star Energy Construct Secret Technique to become extraordinary life forms, each of them had a strength of nearly fifteen tons, which was comparable to that of a high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist. They were not afraid of high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artists at all.

Moreover, due to the power boost from the buff, especially after the first level of the Body Strengthening Technique is perfected, the strength increases by up to 50%, and with the assistance of the B6-level armor, the actual strength exceeds 23 tons.

As for those who have mastered the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, it is even more terrifying.

Fang Zhen used a reverse star step to arrive in front of the half-beast man and threw a punch without saying a word.

This punch had no technique whatsoever; it was just an ordinary punch. But it was so fast that the half-orc man almost didn't have time to react. He could only barely block the sudden punch by swinging his spear horizontally.

boom!
With just one punch, the half-beastman, a high-level Bone Forging Realm cultivator, was sent flying over a hundred meters away, smashing through more than ten large trees before finally stopping.

Although the orc man managed to steady himself, his hands were numb and he almost couldn't hold onto the spear.

"How is this possible! You're just a human martial artist at the Refining Organs Realm, how could you have such strength?" The half-beast man looked at Fang Zhen, who was a hundred meters away, his heart filled with shock and confusion.

Just one punch!

Moreover, it was a punch without any technique that actually made his hands go numb, a high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist. Who would believe that if this were told to others?

It should be noted that his own strength was over twelve tons, and with the boost from perfected martial arts skills and the six tons of support from his second-tier battle armor, he had a total strength of twenty tons. This was a strength that even those high-level martial artists at their peak would find difficult to generate using their martial arts skills.

But in front of Fang Zhen, just a simple punch was enough to make his hands go numb, which was simply unbelievable.

Before the orc man could recover from his shock, a floating cloud suddenly appeared behind him, feigning surprise and then saying with pride, "What? Don't you know? We are a race that can change our fighting power!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yi Ye Fuyun didn't hold back either, unleashing a move called the Reverse Star Hand.

With four times the power, a palm strike weighing over a hundred tons slammed into the back of the half-orc man.

Even though the orc man was wearing second-tier armor, the force of over a hundred tons was not something that could be weakened by impact. His internal organs were shattered one by one under the impact of such terrifying power, and he died on the spot. The ground was also blasted into a deep crater with a radius of more than ten meters, and the back of the second-tier armor was dented.

While the half-orc man was dying, the other four members of the Smiling Skull were also in a bad situation. Although they were not ambushed, they had no chance to resist Ye Qinglu and the others, whose every punch and kick had a force of more than 23 tons.

"How could this be?"

"Can the human race's combat power be increased at will?"

Hao Wan, who was not far away, was completely stunned by what he saw.

Having reached the advanced stage of the Bone Forging Realm, his senses were far more acute than those of a martial artist. He had heard the voice of Yi Ye Fuyun quite clearly.

Under normal circumstances, he would never believe such a thing, even if you killed him; he would only think it was nonsense.

However, the seven humans at present only have the strength of Refining Organs Realm martial artists, but their combat power is such that even a high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist might not be able to withstand them.

It's one thing if it's just one person, but if it's seven people like this, then it's absolutely a lie to say you don't believe it.

"Do humans possess such terrifying abilities?" Precia was also astonished as she looked at Fang Zhen and the others who had completely overwhelmed the Smiling Skull.

The fact that humans have the ability to change their own combat power is something she has never heard of before in all her years in the Domain City.

You should know that there are human geniuses in the Domain City, and she has even fought several human geniuses before, but she has never heard of these human geniuses having such abilities.

She strongly suspected that Yi Ye Fuyun was lying, but she couldn't find any evidence.

In that very short time, five members of the Smiling Skull were also killed by Ye Qinglu and the others, who then rushed towards Hao Wan, the genius martial artist of the Smiling Skull.

"Do you really think I'm one of those good-for-nothings?" Hao Wan looked at Ye Qinglu and the others who were rushing towards him with disdain, and swung his giant hammer at them.

Super-level martial skill: Roar of the Earth!

As a top-tier expert in the Bone Forging Realm, although he was slightly inferior to the deputy city lord outside, he was still not someone that could be defeated by a few experts at the Limit Bone Forging Realm.

"Greatsword Formation, unleash!"

Ye Qinglu did not hold back. With a thought, thirty-six B6-level arrows transformed into a giant sword that descended from the sky, unleashing eight times its own power.

In an instant, more than two hundred tons of force slammed into the giant hammer.

boom!
A deafening roar echoed for over ten kilometers, causing the ground to collapse and trees to fly everywhere.

By the time the figure could be clearly seen in the valley, the nearly six-meter-tall giant arm was already deeply embedded in the ground, his arms twisted beyond recognition, and blood was seeping out from his second-tier battle armor. His breath was growing weaker and weaker, and he was clearly only half alive...
