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

Chapter 265 These days, players really can't seem to relax without fusing something together.

Crimson Moon Town, the Tower of Cultivation.

"Master, are you really going to open the Tower of Cultivation to the public?" Flo stared at the management documents on his smartwatch in astonishment, his mouth agape for a moment, feeling that Lin Qi had gone mad.

Meanwhile, Xia Ling, Estina, and the other members of the martial arts school's guard team, who were standing to the side, all looked at Lin Qi with surprise and confusion in their hearts.

They had already gotten a general feel for the Cultivation Tower, especially the cultivation rooms inside. The energy concentration in the cultivation rooms on the first floor alone was incredible; it was definitely the most energy-rich cultivation room they had ever seen in their lives.

Simply staying in such a training room to cultivate would probably double the speed of improvement of the training method every day, and it would be even more terrifying if energy potions were added.

One day inside is probably equivalent to three or four days outside.

Such a powerful training room is more than enough for personal use, yet Lin Qi plans to open it to the public—he's simply insane.

“That’s right, I’ve written the price down here. Just follow the price.” Lin Qi nodded and said righteously, “Our Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has always taken it upon itself to cultivate martial artists. We can’t just focus on our own disciples; we also need to give others a chance.”

He could understand the surprise of Flo and the others, but his situation was different.

If he wants to upgrade his system administrator privileges, he needs to recruit more martial arts school disciples. However, the martial arts school cannot rely on its current reputation alone to recruit more disciples, especially if it wants to recruit more than a million martial arts school disciples in the future. Even if he is a Blood Condensation Realm expert, he probably won't have that much appeal, let alone those geniuses.

If we want to recruit more disciples and more geniuses in the future, we must first let those who have not yet joined the martial arts school experience some benefits.

The Tower of Cultivation is a great advertisement.

With the Cultivation Tower operating normally, the energy within a five-kilometer radius is comparable to that of a city center. This can be said to have laid a foundation comparable to a city, making Crimson Moon Town a place where many geniuses can live without affecting their daily cultivation.

Next, we'll let everyone experience the training rooms inside the training tower, especially the second-floor training room which is open to the public.

If those geniuses who disdain joining were to experience it, it would be hard for them not to get addicted. Only two rooms on the second floor are open to the public, while the remaining eight rooms are for internal use. Those who want to use them indefinitely will inevitably fight tooth and nail for them.

If you want to make more use of the training rooms on the second or even third floor, you'll have to join the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

While cultivation towers are indeed extremely valuable, they might only elicit surprise from truly powerful forces, but they wouldn't cause them to covet them. After all, these powerful forces all have their own cultivation rooms, which may not be as good as cultivation towers, but they are not far behind. The only forces that can be affected are the smaller forces.

The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is not afraid of these smaller forces at all, and naturally will not be polite.

Furthermore, by charging external fees, the first-floor training room yields fifty tons of energy ore every two hours, and the second-floor training room yields half an energy crystal every two hours, which can cover the daily operating costs of the training tower, and also generate some additional income.

"By the way, now that the Cultivation Tower is operational, the land rental fees within a five-kilometer radius will all increase. We can't let them benefit from this for nothing," Lin Qi instructed.

"Don't worry, Master, the price will definitely triple." Flo was quite excited after hearing this.

He had been worried about the future development of Red Moon Town. After all, Red Moon Town relied entirely on the security provided by the Obsidian Martial Arts School to operate. It had no industry or special features, making it difficult to grow its population, let alone attract large enterprises from other cities.

But now, with the abundant energy brought by the Cultivation Tower, there's no worry about a lack of people coming to develop Red Moon Town in the future.

The energy density is comparable to that of a city center. Not just anyone can live there. Martial arts families, unless they have a Bone Forging Realm expert, can only live in the city center.

How big is the city center of a city with tens of millions of people?
At that time, the major martial arts families and forces in the surrounding cities will probably be unable to resist coming to live here, so there is no need to worry about the population of Red Moon Town not increasing.

With the influx of a large population into Chiyue Town, large enterprises from the city have moved in, driving the development of various industrial chains in the town and earning more martial arts resources for Chiyue Town. As a result, he can also rise in status and may even be able to break through to the Bone Forging Realm in the future.

Now that we have the Cultivation Tower, let alone breaking through to the Bone Forging Realm, even reaching the advanced stage of the Bone Forging Realm is not an unattainable dream in the future.

At this moment, not only was Flo somewhat excited, but Xia Ling, Estina, and the others were also restless.

Although the resources of the Obsidian Martial Arts School were already amazing, such as the gravity room and the beginner meditation room, which are good things that can help people improve quickly, the gravity room and the beginner meditation room are not places that you can enter whenever you want. You still have to rely on your own daily training.

Now that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has a training tower, if they could live within a five-kilometer radius, and especially if they could enter the training rooms on the second floor or above, it would probably be even better than the genius training camps in the city.

It's just unknown how Lin Qi will arrange things for these disciples of the martial arts school's guard regiment.

While Xia Ling, Estina, and the others were wondering what Lin Qi's plans were, Lin Qi also turned his attention to Xia Ling and the others.

"As disciples of the martial arts school's garrison, in addition to your daily training, you should also engage in some real combat." Lin Qi directly stated the initial plan. "It's a pity that you didn't get to participate much in the previous city war. From now on, your task will be to ensure a safe route between the City of Light and Crimson Moon Town, and also take over the defense of Crimson Moon Town. As for the Cultivation Tower, half of the slots are reserved for you. Based on your monthly contributions and progress rankings, you will receive cultivation time in the Cultivation Tower. The first place winner will be qualified to use the third level of the Cultivation Tower for three days."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the martial arts school guards present were overjoyed, especially Xia Ling and Estina, whose eyes were filled with fighting spirit and longing.

They originally thought that the Tower of Cultivation was reserved for the true disciples of the martial arts school, and that they, as non-direct disciples, would be lucky to get a spot on the second floor. They never expected that they would even get a spot in the third-floor cultivation room.

Although it's only a three-day usage period per month, it's still incredibly powerful. After all, according to Lin Qi, the energy concentration in the third-level cultivation room is eight times that of the outside world, a level of energy concentration that's practically unheard of.

If one could really stay inside for three days, the cultivation effect would probably be equivalent to twenty days outside.

In other words, it would normally take them two years to reach the Bone Forging Realm. Now, with the cultivation room on the third floor, even if they only use it for three days a month, they could probably reach the Bone Forging Realm in a year at most.

Becoming a Bone Forging Realm martial artist within a year of becoming a martial artist is an unimaginable feat even in a genius training camp.

Seeing the excited expressions of the martial arts school's guards, Lin Qi actually wanted to say that they would also be able to use the cultivation tower and even the intermediate gravity chamber, which was currently under renovation. However, only those with exceptional talent would be able to use the intermediate gravity chamber.

He planned to train a group of disciples who could learn the Body Strengthening Secret Technique. However, the Body Strengthening Secret Technique was somewhat dangerous for ordinary people and would require the assistance of Big Banana. In the future, a group of garrison disciples who mastered the Body Strengthening Secret Technique would be able to possess the strength of the initial stage of the Bone Forging Realm, even if they were only high-level martial artists. Such a group, placed in Red Moon Town and equipped with electromagnetic guns, would be enough to suppress all those who dared to disobey.

Just as Lin Qi finished arranging all the work in Crimson Moon Town and was about to experience the effects of the third-floor cultivation room of the Cultivation Tower, a system notification suddenly sounded in his ear.

System: Congratulations, host. A player has reached the Bone Forging Realm, triggering the advanced quest 'Masters Abound'. Once the number of players in the Bone Forging Realm reaches ten, the reward is one martial skill enhancement. The system can upgrade the level of the martial skill mastered by the host once, but the highest level cannot exceed the Transcendent Martial Skill.

"Bone Forging Realm?"

"Someone has reached the Bone Forging Realm so quickly?"

Lin Qi was momentarily stunned by the system notification.

According to his prediction, it wouldn't be difficult for those top players to advance to the Bone Forging Realm; it would just take some time. After all, they had all perfected the second level of the Super-Rank Training Method. It would be strange if they couldn't advance.

However, progressing from the Organ Refining Realm to the Bone Forging Realm is not a simple matter.

The Refining Organs Realm merely uses energy to stimulate the five internal organs and complete the initial strengthening, but the Bone Forging Realm is different. It is a process from the inside out, using one's own blood and energy and external energy to continuously temper each bone in the body.

The entire process must be completed in one go; otherwise, the whole structure will collapse because some bones have not been fully tempered.

Players who cultivate the advanced training method have more than enough Qi and blood, needless to say. However, they need to be familiar with the tempering process of every bone in their body, since every bone is different and the amount of Qi and blood used and the amount of external energy drawn are different.

If bones are over-tempered, it's like the process of cooking food. If you overheat them, they're cooked through; if you don't heat them enough, they're ineffective. So, people need to gradually familiarize themselves with the process and then plan the optimal tempering process based on their own blood and qi levels. The higher a person's blood and qi levels, the higher their tolerance for error.

Therefore, it is not difficult for top players to advance to the Bone Forging Realm; they just need to spend time getting used to it.

But he didn't expect that a player would advance so quickly.

Lin Qi immediately pulled up the player list in the system to quickly see who had mastered the third level of the training method.

Lin Qi quickly discovered Luo Wushang on the list.

At this moment, Luo Wushang's martial arts realm has changed from a high-level martial artist to a Bone Forging Realm martial artist, which means that Luo Wushang has successfully advanced to the Bone Forging Realm and is no longer the most ordinary martial artist in the city, but a master who can become a pillar of strength.

"extract!"

Without hesitation, Lin Qi chose to extract the material, wanting to see Luo Wushang's experience in tempering her entire body's bones.

A massive amount of memories flooded into Lin Qi's mind in an instant, and after a few seconds, Lin Qi was completely stunned.

"Damn it! Is this guy even going to play the game properly or not?"

Lin Qi looked at Luo Wushang's inherited memories and couldn't help but curse.

Normal players follow the game's plan, afraid of making a mistake. But Luo Wushang is simply crazy. She felt that the third level of the training method was not good enough, so she forcibly fused it with the Star Energy Construct Secret Technique for cultivation.

Luo Wushang's current cultivation is more accurately described as the third level of the Extraordinary Cultivation Method than the third level of the Dark Light Cultivation Method.

Having undergone a complete body tempering in the state of an extraordinary life form, I felt that I hadn't died fast enough.

Extraordinary life forms are not a stable life state to begin with. If they undergo bone tempering at the level of an extraordinary life form in such an unstable life state, there will only be two possible outcomes once the tempering is completed.

One way is to obtain extraordinary bones, thus reverting to the original level of life. The bones have already undergone the tempering of the extraordinary level, and this part cannot be reverted back, so it is preserved.

Another result is an explosion. After the life level regresses back to its original level, the extraordinary bones also regress. However, the enormous energy absorbed by the extraordinary bones will not disappear. When it accumulates throughout the body, how can an ordinary life form withstand such a level of power?
It has to be said that Luo Wushang won her gamble.

Luo Wushang obtained stable extraordinary bones. Even without using the Star Energy Construct Body Secret Technique, the bones throughout her body were those of an extraordinary life form. The strength of such bones was naturally beyond question.

Even the most basic level of bone tempering results in bone strength that is incomparable to that of ordinary life forms. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it is several times stronger than the bones of an ordinary Bone Forging Realm cultivator.

Because of her amazing bone strength, Luo Wushang is now incredibly strong.

Luo Wushang's current basic strength is as high as 12 tons, and her speed is 125 meters per second. This is something that even a martial artist who has just entered the Bone Forging Realm cannot match. It is double the original standard and directly comparable to a high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist.

And this is only the basic data for becoming a Bone Forging Realm cultivator. With the addition of the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, Luo Wushang's basic strength exceeds 15 tons, and her speed exceeds 150 meters per second. In other words, Luo Wushang's current physical qualities have already surpassed the level of the high-level Limit Bone Forging Realm.

Although Luo Wushang's achievement of the second level of the training method would definitely result in a significant improvement after advancing to the Bone Forging Realm, Lin Qizhen did not expect that with the second level of the training method and extraordinary bones, Luo Wushang would be able to directly possess physical qualities that surpass the limit of the Bone Forging Realm. This improvement was truly terrifying.

"Shall we practice?"

Looking at Luo Wushang's memories and panel data, Lin Qi hesitated for 0.1 seconds before taking out a bottle of type 3 energy potion, gulping it down, and starting to cultivate according to Luo Wushang's memories.

Although the player's training went astray, the result was good. Moreover, with such a strong physique, there was absolutely no reason not to train.
