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

Chapter 262 The Legend of the Gray-Clad Man and Above Blood Clotting
"What's the matter?"

"Could it be that the City of Light has no idea about the Gray-Clad Man?"

Looking at Diroya's expression, Alec, with his keen senses and years of experience in judging people, was certain that the city lord Diroya was also somewhat bewildered about the gray-clad man, as if he had no idea what had happened.

"The man in gray?"

Even if Diloa was stupid, he could see it now: the gray-clad man that Alec mentioned must have caused considerable trouble for Star Tower City, and might even be the force that attacked Stormwind Town.

However, no matter how hard Di Luoya racked his brains and searched every corner of his memory, he couldn't find any clues or information about the man in gray. For a moment, Di Luoya didn't dare to speak rashly. He just looked at the other people in the hall with a headache, hoping that they could give him some hints.

Otherwise, the so-called ceasefire will probably only exist in dreams.

Diroya looked around and found that the deputy city lords in the hall were also completely bewildered, having no idea about the gray-robed man.

Just as Diroya was feeling desperate, Ino, who had been standing in a corner of the hall doing guard duty, suddenly stepped forward.

"Lord City Lord, could the gray-clad man Lord Alec have mentioned be a disciple of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?" Ino asked hesitantly.

As Ino spoke, the once noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared intently at Ino, the commander of the garrison. Even Alec couldn't help but look over.

"Disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?"

"Ino, are you sure?"

Diroya looked at Ino, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although Lin Qi is strong, who would believe that some of his disciples from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy could make Star Tower City surrender?

"You mean those men in gray are disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?"

At this moment, the Wild Wolf couldn't help but look at Ino, his gaze seemingly capable of devouring people. He was both shocked and disbelieving, feeling that Ino, a person from the City of Light, was playing a trick on him.

The reason why the Holy Blood Mercenary Group fully cooperated with Star Tower City this time was because Lin Qi, the master of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, killed their Holy Blood Mercenary Group's genius and even took down all the other members of their group.

Now, if you tell him that the Obsidian Martial Arts School, which their Holy Blood Mercenary Group is going to attack, is that group of demonic forces, how can he believe you?
You have to understand that the strength that group of gray-clad men displayed was far superior to that of the entire City of Light combined. There were hundreds of experts at the level of deputy city lords. If they were to deal with the City of Light, they could wipe them out several times over. How could such a force be established by a deputy city lord of a city?

Under the intense scrutiny of everyone, Ino couldn't help but feel uneasy, but she still said with certainty, "The disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy are divided into two categories. One category consists of disciples recruited from outside. These disciples do not have uniforms and dress very casually. They usually wear the emblem of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. The other category consists of disciples trained internally. They all wear silver-gray uniforms. If the gray-clad people that Deputy City Lord Alec mentioned are related to the City of Light, then they can only be the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy."

Regarding the gray-clad man mentioned by Alec, Ino was quite certain it was from the Obsidian Martial Arts School, after all, she had personally witnessed how the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts School dealt with the Bone Forging Realm experts from Star Tower City.

That was a one-sided crushing defeat.

If the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has enough genuine disciples, it's not impossible that they could cause trouble for Star Tower City.

"May I see the uniforms of those Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples?" Alec asked.

He had to confirm this matter. Although he instinctively disbelieved it, he was certain to die if he dared to carelessly shirk the task assigned to him by the city lord.

“I don’t have any photos or images of them,” Ino said somewhat awkwardly.

Although she wanted to build a closer relationship with the Obsidian Martial Arts School, it was mainly because of Lin Qi, so she hadn't made any special records about it. However, there was a lot of information and images about Lin Qi, but what he wore was completely different from what his disciples wore. There was no point in bringing them out.

"I have it here."

As the entire room fell silent again, Wu Zhuoqun, who had brought Alec and the other person over, clicked on his smartwatch and displayed some pictures of the daily training of the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

"It's really them!"

Wild Wolf stared intently at the Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples training in the image; their silver-gray attire was exactly the same as that of the gray-clad men who attacked Ragewind Town.

This made Alec's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

Who would believe that a force created by the deputy city lord of the City of Light could make the Holy Blood Mercenary Group and Star Tower City unable to raise their heads?

But now the facts are right in front of us, and we can't help but believe them.

At this moment, not only were Huanglang and Alec extremely shocked, but everyone in the hall was also shocked, especially Wu Zhuoqun, who was completely dumbfounded.

Judging from Alec's attitude and the expression on the Wild Wolf's face, anyone who isn't a fool would know that the Obsidian Martial Arts School must have caused considerable trouble for Star Tower City and the Holy Blood Mercenary Group; otherwise, they wouldn't have come to negotiate.

The fact that a single Obsidian Martial Arts School could force two major powers in the Fog Mountain region to surrender is simply unbelievable.

After a brief commotion in the hall, Diroya smiled and looked at Alec.

"Now that you know the situation, can we begin the peace talks?"

The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy gave him a huge surprise this time. Although he knew that Lin Qi, this young man, had a bright future, he did not expect that the force he created would be so powerful that Star Tower City and the Holy Blood Mercenary Group had to grit their teeth and back down. Even if Vansen directly intervened, it would be difficult to achieve such a result.

Just one hour later, everyone in Maple Forest Town received a shocking message.

The war has ended!
The City of Light and the City of Star Tower have completely ceased hostilities and signed a twenty-year non-aggression pact, leaving everyone who was still preparing for war bewildered and completely unaware of what was going on.

Just a dozen hours ago, the two sides were fighting to the death, but now they have suddenly stopped. It's impossible not to be curious, after all, Star Tower City has the help of the Holy Blood Mercenary Group, and they have at least a 60-70% chance of taking down City of Light. But now they have given up directly, which is really unbelievable.

"They've already cast it?"

Lin Qi stared blankly for a while as he looked at the message on his smartwatch.

He had finally managed to sell player resurrection devices and make a fortune in this great war, but after selling just one, the war ended, and all the dozens of player resurrection devices he had painstakingly crafted overnight were now wasted.

Moreover, he had just received a large amount of good stuff from the players. Not to mention various energy foods, there were more than 500 sets of Tier 2 armor and Tier 2 weapons, and more than 10,000 sets of B6-level armor. With these armors, he could arm an army of 10,000 men.

In addition, there are various kinds of medicines, including more than 200,000 bottles of type II medicines and more than 4,000 bottles of type III medicines. These are all good things for those who are cultivating in the Refining Organs and Forging Bones realms.

Especially with the Type 3 potion, even if dozens of local residents and players reach the Bone Forging Realm, he will no longer have to worry about a shortage of Type 3 potions in the short term.

If he could achieve this every few days, he could further expand the recruitment of martial arts school disciples, quickly reaching one million, and upgrade his management authority to another level.

Now they're telling him that the war is over and everyone can return to peace, but what about his plan to have a million disciples?
At the temporary rest stop, while Lin Qi was somewhat bewildered, the players were in a state of jubilation and excitement.

The rewards for capturing just one town are like stealing a mountain of gold. Even the most ordinary players who participate in this siege will accumulate over two hundred merit points, and some may even earn over a thousand, enough to become a first-class soldier.

As for players who have reached the martial artist level, each of them has earned at least several thousand merit points, and some have even earned tens of thousands of merit points. They can directly become a glorious corporal and can purchase a team training room at the martial arts hall. These rooms even come with a basic gravity chamber, so they will no longer have to worry about not being able to get a basic gravity chamber for training in the future.

However, the biggest beneficiaries of the battle in Nufeng Town were Luo Wushang and others. Luo Wushang alone collected 100,000 merits and became the first lieutenant in the game, also a warrant officer. She spent 50 million points and 200,000 contribution points to form the Tianwei Guard Regiment, which can have up to 500 members.

Once a warrant officer reaches the Bone Forging Realm, he can immediately become a glorious second lieutenant, purchase a garrison base in Red Moon Town, and allow all members who join the garrison to enjoy various benefits.

Of course, it wasn't just Luo Wushang who reached 100,000 merit points; Fang Zhen, Yi Ye Fuyun, and Lu Fanchen, who each received 70% of the benefits, also accumulated 100,000 merit points and formed their own garrison regiments.

The garrison regiment that Fang Zhen formed was named the Machine God Garrison Regiment.

A single cloud formed the Sky Guard Regiment.

Lu Fanchen is a member of the Mythical Paradise Guard.

At this moment, everyone is in seclusion, vying with Luo Wushang to see who can be the first to break through to the Bone Forging Realm.

Under Lin Qi's planning, the defense corps created by players are only the most basic one-star defense corps. Only by increasing the star level can the maximum number of members in the defense corps be increased. The standard for a two-star defense corps is that there must be at least one Bone Forging Realm expert and ten high-level martial artists. After spending 300 million points and 1 million contribution points, it can be promoted to a two-star defense corps, and the maximum number of members can be increased to 1,000. This is also the current upper limit of the star level opening for defense corps.

Therefore, Luo Wushang and the others all wanted to reach the Bone Forging Realm as soon as possible so that the Guardian Group could be promoted to two stars. In this way, with less than two thousand people in the game, the Guardian Group members could occupy half of the team, which would be a huge advantage.

Just as Luo Wushang and the others were frantically trying to break through to the Bone Forging Realm, a group of guests arrived at the temporary residence of the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

"Lord City Lord, what brings you here? Please have a seat!" Lin Qi was somewhat surprised as he watched Di Luoya and the others enter the room under Qin Mu's guidance.

As a master of the Blood Condensation Realm and the city lord of the City of Light, Di Luoya is an extremely busy person, especially now that the two sides have reached a truce, there are just too many things for him to attend to.

He was relatively free because he was a deputy city lord with little real power, so he could occasionally extract players' memories and teach Qin Mu and others microscopic techniques and various second-level training methods.

Accompanying Diloya were Ino and Wu Zhuoqun, a one-eyed, one-armed youth from the One-Armed Tribe whom Lin Qi had never seen before.

When the one-eyed, one-armed youth from the One-Eyed Tribe came within ten meters, Lin Qi could clearly sense that the youth was very strong. Although it was only a judgment based on subtle movements, the youth had already reached the advanced level of the Microscopic Realm, and his physical strength was astonishing, with a conservative estimate of over twenty-two tons of strength.

If he fights this one-armed youth and doesn't immediately unleash his extraordinary power, he will definitely be utterly defeated.

"Master Lin, let me introduce you. This is Fan Sen, a super genius from Domain City. He is a well-known genius in Domain City. Among the younger generation in our Mist Mountain region, there are probably only a handful of people who can withstand a few rounds from him." Di Luoya smiled and pointed to Fan Sen beside him, introducing him. "He came here this time after hearing about Master Lin's heroic deeds, so he wanted to come and get to know him."

"Hello, just call me Vansen. The so-called super genius of Domain City is just an exaggeration by the city lord. I am just a student of Domain City." Vansen also took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello! Lin Qi, the master of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy." Lin Qi nodded, then looked at City Lord Di Luoya with a strange expression, wondering what City Lord Di Luoya was here for today, having even brought along the super genius of the Domain City.

For people living in major cities, Domain City is a mysterious place. Whether it's the people or the city itself, many Bone Forging Realm martial artists rarely encounter anyone from Domain City in their entire lives, let alone a super genius from Domain City actively seeking them out.

Di Luoya noticed Lin Qi's strange gaze and couldn't help but chuckle, "I came here today to congratulate you, Master Lin."

"Congratulations to me? Congratulations on what?" Lin Qi looked at Di Luoya, even more puzzled.

Aside from making a fortune from players today, there doesn't seem to be anything else worth congratulating him on.

“Indeed, congratulations to Master Lin.” Fan Sen nodded in agreement. “Master Lin has made a fortune. The Star Tower City spent a lot of money to achieve a ceasefire. The city lord even specially arranged a golden stone sculpture for Master Lin.”

After Vansen finished speaking, Diroya carefully took out a strange stone sculpture that looked like it was made of gold from the small metal storage box.

This golden stone sculpture depicts a humanoid man with a missing arm wielding a large sword. The sculpture is so lifelike that it seems almost alive. With just one glance, Lin Qi felt a mental shock emanating from his spiritual realm, which was simply unbelievable.

"Can I have this?"

Lin Qi looked at the golden stone sculpture, feeling even more puzzled.

Regardless of whether the stone sculpture in front of us is made of gold or not, its ability to create a powerful spiritual impact is enough to prove its considerable value.

“Of course, this is one of the compensations from Star Tower City,” Diroya said with a smile. “In addition, Star Tower City also brought out the remains of a Cataclysmic-level monster. It will take some time for that thing to arrive, but in terms of value, it is far inferior to this golden stone sculpture.”

"Is this thing more valuable than the remains of a calamity-level monster?" Lin Qi was also surprised after hearing this.

He is no longer a novice who has just arrived in this world; he knows what a catastrophe-level monster is.

Cataclysmic monster!

It was like a natural disaster. If a city were to be hit, it would be lucky if one or two tenths of its population survived. More often than not, the entire city would be wiped out.

The price to pay for killing a Cataclysmic-level monster is unimaginable; even a city lord cannot kill a Cataclysmic-level monster.

A stone sculpture that can only emit a spiritual impact may have some value, but it is far inferior to a cataclysmic relic.

“Of course!” Vansen said with certainty. “The remains of a calamity-level being may be priceless, but this golden stone sculpture can help people achieve the level of Blood Condensation.”
