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

Chapter 253 The Second Perfect Realm and Total War
"Becoming a lieutenant allows you to form a garrison regiment." Luo Wushang looked at the information on her smartwatch, her expression quite surprised. "Has this game opened up guild gameplay so quickly?"

Although many virtual games have guild gameplay, which is also one of the core gameplay elements of traditional MMO games, she did not expect that the High Martial Arts Tour would be launched so quickly.

She originally thought that the "Advanced Martial Arts" event would only be available during the open beta, since the game's content and gameplay updates are quite frequent, as if they would start testing once players reached that level.

The introduction of guild gameplay is extremely beneficial for guilds in the closed beta. After all, the official statement is that the game is a non-wipe test. The earlier you form a guild in the game, the easier it is to recruit members and grow stronger. In fact, many newcomers will choose to join a guild as soon as possible, simply because of guild tasks and guild benefits, in order to seek better development in the game.

As for the game "High Martial Arts Descends", compared to other virtual games, while the player's strength level is very important, the number of players is far more important than individual strength.

Because doing things in a game requires a lot of manpower.

Even the routine maintenance of weapons and equipment requires people to wipe them one by one. The cleanliness of the rooms also requires people to clean them every day. There are also daily water usage and bathing issues. It's completely unlike other virtual games. It's so realistic that it makes your scalp tingle.

Having played the game for so long, she spends a lot of time on these aspects every day. If a large number of new players could do these things, she could save a lot of time to cultivate and improve.

“However, becoming a lieutenant is not easy. A full 100,000 merit points are needed to capture a B4-level battle armor, which can only be exchanged for 10 merit points. A B6-level battle armor is worth 50 merit points, and a Tier 2 battle armor is only worth 500 merit points. To earn 100,000 merit points, you have to kill 200 Bone Forging Realm NPCs.” Zhang Qingwei also looked at the information in her hand, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. “According to the information on this version of the event, this is a full-scale war between the City of Light and the City of Star Tower. Unlike our previous attacks on convoys in the wild, this kind of war involves large-scale troop operations, as well as many weapons that can easily injure Bone Forging Realm NPCs and a large number of Bone Forging Realm NPCs. Unless we can maintain our transformations and make our physical abilities comparable to those high-level Bone Forging Realm warriors, it will be difficult to achieve anything.”

After they transform, it's safe to say that unless they use extraordinary martial arts techniques, it's very difficult to kill a high-level Bone Forging Realm NPC in a short time. If they encounter a top-level Bone Forging Realm NPC, they will need to cooperate with Luo Wushang to use extraordinary martial arts techniques to kill them quickly.

Using extraordinary martial arts techniques consumes a lot of vital energy, so they can't be used many times. Once the vital energy is depleted, any martial arts NPC can easily kill Luo Wushang.

Not to mention that this battle took place on a crowded battlefield, which undoubtedly raised the difficulty of killing a Bone Forging Realm NPC to another level.

"Don't worry about that. After my training method reached the second level of perfection, my body underwent a second transformation, and the upper limit of my physical fitness increased significantly. My strength, which was originally only 4000 kilograms, can now reach 6000 kilograms, and my speed has reached 100 meters per second. I am stronger than a normal early-stage Bone Forging Realm martial artist. After becoming a transcendent life form, I should also break the 15000 kilogram limit." Luo Wushang said with a smile, "At that time, even if I don't use transcendent martial arts, I should be able to quickly kill those high-level NPCs in the Limit Bone Forging Realm."

"After the training method reaches the second level of perfection, the improvement is so great?" Ragnarok was also surprised when he heard this.

A person who cultivates the strength type, even if they reach 100% proficiency in the second level of the training method, will only have a strength of 6000 kilograms. However, Luo Wushang, as an agility type martial artist, already has the same strength as a strength type martial artist. In addition, she has even more terrifying speed and reaction, which is even more terrifying than a true early stage Bone Forging Realm martial artist.

Not to mention that Luo Wushang has also mastered the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, which has further increased her actual strength and speed. It can be said that Luo Wushang in her normal state has a strength of 9200 kilograms and a speed of 132 meters per second, making her a veritable mid-stage Bone Forging Realm martial artist.

Zhang Qingwei and Zhao Hu, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but gasp upon hearing this.

"Then, wouldn't you be able to fight a mid-stage Bone Forging Realm NPC in your normal state?" Zhao Hu couldn't help but ask Luo Wushang.

As a strength-based martial artist, his current strength is only 6000 kilograms, but his speed is far behind, at a standard 60 meters per second. Moreover, he hasn't even mastered the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique; he's only at the first level of perfection, without the additional boosts of 3200 kilograms and 32 meters per second.

Luo Wushang nodded: "I suggest that when you are trying to break through to the Bone Forging Realm, you should also train the second level to perfection. This way, your physical fitness will be stronger after you reach the Bone Forging Realm."

Even without transforming or using extraordinary martial arts techniques, she is confident in killing a mid-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist. If she uses extraordinary martial arts techniques, she might even have a chance to kill a high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist.

"Should we reach the Perfected Realm before attempting to break through to the Bone Forging Realm?"

After thinking it over, Zhang Qingwei and Zhao Hu decided that before attempting to break through to the Bone Forging Realm, it was essential to perfect the second level of the training method. This way, they would have a permanent advantage in strength and speed compared to other players who hadn't reached perfection.

After Luo Wushang finished her discussion, the members of Tianwei followed her back to the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to await the start of the new version event.

At night, Obsidian Martial Arts School.

While the players inside the martial arts school were filled with joy, the other disciples looked worried.

"Have you heard? This time it's not just Star Tower City that will be involved; even the legendary Holy Blood Mercenary Group will be going all out. Can we really stop them?"

"I heard that the Holy Blood Mercenary Group will go all out this time. It seems that it's because the Master personally killed a genius of the Holy Blood Mercenary Group, and then killed more than a dozen Bone Forging Realm experts of the Holy Blood Mercenary Group, which enraged the Holy Blood Mercenary Group."

"As expected of the Master, he even killed members of the Holy Blood Mercenary Group without hesitation. But is it really okay to provoke the Holy Blood Mercenary Group like this? That's a mercenary group that even the Red Moon Merchant Guild gave up on dealing with. Although this is a war between two cities, the Holy Blood Mercenary Group should mainly be targeting us, right?"

"I'm so unlucky. I was abandoned by my family before, and now my martial arts school has gotten into trouble with the Holy Blood Mercenary Group. This time I have to go to the battlefield. It's like they're making my life impossible."

The city lord's sudden announcement of a full-scale war left everyone in the city stunned. After all, the City of Light had been at peace for decades, and now war was breaking out so suddenly, and it was a full-scale war. This affected everyone in the city.

A full-scale war between cities is equivalent to a war between two major forces within a city. It's a bloody battle to the death, and each major force within the city has to send more than half of its people to the battlefield. This is the price they pay for being allowed to occupy territory and do various businesses within the city.

The apprentices sent out by the various forces were somewhat better off, as they wouldn't participate in the battles but would only serve as logistical personnel. However, those who were at the level of quasi-martial artists or above were required to go to the battlefield.

For the disciples of Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, this city battle is even more terrifying. Not only do they have to face the overwhelming army of Star Tower City, but they also have to contend with the Holy Blood Mercenary Group. Their chances of survival are extremely slim. Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, Intermediate Training Room.

"Tina, the family made you join the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. Don't you feel wronged now?" Xia Ling looked at Estina, who had stopped practicing with the intermediate combat puppet, and said with a smile, "If you were still in the Blanc family, the Blanc family would definitely not have sent you to the battlefield. They would have let you focus on preparing for the genius training camp exam. You wouldn't be like this now, not only having to go to the battlefield, but also being targeted by the rumored Holy Blood Mercenary Group on the battlefield."

"Do you regret it?" Estina, wearing a silver-white metal mask, wiped her sweat and asked calmly, "If you hadn't joined the Obsidian Martial Arts School, you could still be your young lady, and you wouldn't even have had to participate in this city war."

“I think joining Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is a good thing, not to mention it was my own choice, how could I regret it?” Xia Ling said dismissively. “But you are different, you were sent here by your family.”

“Me too.” Estina replied calmly. “The day I joined the martial arts school’s guard, I knew there would be a lot of things like this in the future. Not to mention, even if you enter the genius training camp, you will still have to go through all kinds of life-and-death trials. This city war is just another life-and-death trial. On the contrary, I think it’s better to join the Obsidian Martial Arts School. If I hadn’t joined the Obsidian Martial Arts School, I wouldn’t have improved so quickly.”

After speaking, Estina unleashed her powerful blood energy, clearly demonstrating that she had reached the level of a mid-level martial artist.

"I knew I couldn't be friends with you, your improvement is too fast!" Xia Ling clicked her tongue slightly, but her own aura also burst forth with energy no less than Estina's. "I was planning to practice on you today and get used to the feeling of being able to perceive subtlety, but it seems that all my efforts yesterday were in vain."

Since Estina joined the martial arts school's guard, she has finally found a rival. Although there are a few geniuses among the human race, they are still far inferior to Estina.

After saying that, Xia Ling took a graceful step, shifting and changing shape in mid-air, and directly attacked Estina with her practice weapon.

Estina was equally formidable, unleashing her newly learned "Surprising Beauty" technique to fight Xia Ling in mid-air above the training ground.

The sparring between the two put Qin Mu, who was providing meticulous guidance on techniques, under immense pressure.

"Brother Qin, how's the garrison doing lately?" Lin Qi asked curiously as he approached Qin Mu.

After he arranged for Meng Wei to handle the construction of the branch school, the daily training of the martial arts school's guard regiment was handed over to Qin Mu. Qin Mu was tasked with teaching the guard regiment members to be more meticulous, so that they would not only find it easier to learn martial arts in the future, but also become stronger than their peers.

"Master, of the 500 warriors in the garrison, 15 have reached the Microscopic Realm, all of them have mastered the Soaring Spear Technique, and 76 have mastered the Energy Secret Technique. If these people unleash their potential, their physical qualities can instantly reach the level of a high-level warrior. Below the Bone Forging Realm, they should have few rivals," Qin Mu respectfully reported.

"So many people have already mastered the secrets of energy?" Lin Qi was quite surprised.

The energy secret technique he passed on to the garrison was much more difficult than the energy secret technique passed on by the White Feather Gang. After all, the White Feather Gang's energy secret technique only involved the burning of energy and did not involve absorbing energy from the outside.

Of course, the main reason why the White Feather Gang didn't do that was because they didn't have any mental techniques. Ordinary people would easily die if they learned about energy absorption and storage. They needed physical strengthening techniques and mental techniques to help them learn more safely.

However, in his opinion, even if it's not the complete version, very few people could learn the energy secret technique in a short time. Even if these people had already taken the test and showed a high aptitude for learning energy, they still couldn't compare to the players.

But unexpectedly, a total of 76 people have now learned it, and can unleash their potential, allowing their physical fitness to reach the level of a high-level martial artist in a short period of time.

This force might not mean much to a city, but it is quite powerful to a faction. After all, the major factions in the city have very few Bone Forging Realm warriors, let alone many high-level warriors.

Such a large number of top-level martial artists could only be provided by the clans of a city; it's not something a single force could produce. Not to mention that all 76 of them have learned the Amazing Strike and Thunder Palm techniques and wield electromagnetic guns made of C3-grade alloy.

Even if a Bone Forging Realm martial artist cannot fly, the power of a high-level martial artist using a C3-grade electromagnetic gun is enough to threaten or even kill a Bone Forging Realm martial artist.

This is why he dared to establish a branch in the Dead Mountain Range and dared to kill members of the Holy Blood Mercenary Group.

It can kill and injure Bone Forging Realm warriors and Organ Refining Realm warriors, and it can even be mass-produced. Give him some time, and he really doesn't believe that any force's Bone Forging Realm warriors are enough for him to kill.

"Master, the army organized by the city lord will set off tomorrow. Can we go with them?" Qin Mu asked with some anticipation.

The city lord issued a city conscription order, requiring all major forces to send at least half of their prospective martial artists and martial artists to fight. Although the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy had recruited many disciples, there were not many disciples above the prospective martial artist level. The majority of them were the true martial arts academy disciples wearing silver-gray clothing.

The real martial arts school disciples were incredibly excited ever since they learned that a full-scale war was about to break out in the city, and they couldn't wait to rush over there right now.

If all the real martial arts school disciples went, there would be fewer people left in their martial arts school defense regiment. If Lin Qi deliberately wanted to hide his strength, then it would be even less likely that any of the disciples in their martial arts school defense regiment would be able to go.

As a wanderer who spends most of his life in the wild, Qin Mu knows very well that if one wants to make rapid progress on the path of martial arts, life-and-death trials are indispensable. Right now, there is a great battle that is rare to see in decades. Although this is a crisis, it is also an opportunity. He can fight with martial arts practitioners without restraint, and even face those Bone Forging Realm experts who are rarely seen in normal times.

If we miss this opportunity, who knows how long it will be before we get another chance? Maybe it will be over in our lifetime.
