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

Chapter 273 Is it possible that you are actually facing a Devouring Beast?

The third level of the Cultivation Tower, inside the cultivation chamber.

After hanging up the call, Lin Qi couldn't help but open his attribute panel to check it.

Just last night, Li Ranxing successfully mastered the third level of the Reverse Star Triple Technique. Moreover, perhaps inspired by Luo Wushang, he also mastered the Extraordinary Bones while in an extraordinary life form.

So after Li Ranxing mastered it, he extracted and learned it without hesitation.

The message from Bert of Earth Pharmaceuticals was naturally ignored, even though Bert was a master of the Blood Coagulation Realm.

On his own turf, they still want to capture his pharmacist? Do they really think he's easy to bully? Even if he hadn't reached the Bone Forging Realm, let alone that he'd already reached it, he wouldn't be polite to Earth Star Pharmaceuticals.

Host: Lin Qi.

Age: 25.

Administrator privileges: Level 2.

Permission level: Level 3 merit-based admission permission.

Martial Arts Level: Initial Stage of Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist.

Strength: 16500.4 + 3200 kg. (Standard for a beginner-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist: 6000 kg)

Speed: 167.2 + 32 meters per second. (Standard for a beginner-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist: 80 meters per second)
Internal organs: 150% of internal training and strengthening has been completed.

Bone tempering: The overall bone tempering level is 25% complete.

Training methods: Shocking Breathing Method (7% for the third level of the Six Forms of Ghostly Light, the second level of the Perfected Realm of Cloud and Mist Transformation, and the third level of the Third Level of the Reverse Star Triad)

"Wow, amazing! It increased my strength by 15,000 kilograms in one go." Lin Qi looked at his latest panel and was slightly amazed.

Although I had long guessed that mastering the second training method would lead to some improvement, I didn't expect it to be this much.

His actual weight has now reached 32 tons. If we add the 50% amplification effect of the Great Strength, it will be more than 48 tons, which has already exceeded the bottom line of the initial stage of the Blood Coagulation Realm by a considerable margin.

Of course, his strength is still far from the ninety tons of a mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm martial artist, but if he were to activate his extraordinary form, he might be able to put up a fight.

"There are three training methods, and now only the last one is missing. Should we just issue a notice that all players should try to advance to the Bone Forging Realm in a transcendent state?" Lin Qi couldn't help but have some thoughts after closing the system panel.

Achieving the Bone Forging Realm in an extraordinary state would undoubtedly bring obvious benefits after advancement, but it would also make his cultivation in this area a problem.

If an ordinary player advances to the Bone Forging Realm without using a transcendent state, but only normally, he might be able to extract it. However, cultivating the third training method will become a problem. He will need to try cultivating it in a transcendent state himself. Although the cultivation process is the same, there will still be some differences. After all, the structure of a transcendent life form is vastly different from that of an ordinary life form. If a problem arises and there is no good medicine for timely treatment, it might cost him his life.

Especially in future training methods, only a very small number of players will be able to enter the Bone Forging Realm in an extraordinary state. This means that the number of players whose experience he can extract is limited, which will greatly reduce the improvement speed of the three training methods, and even make it difficult to break through to the Perfection Realm.

With this in mind, Lin Qi updated the mechanism for entering the Bone Forging Realm on the official forum, allowing players to choose whether to advance to the Bone Forging Realm in a normal state or in a transcendent state.

Advancing to the Bone Forging Realm in a normal state is undoubtedly easier, while advancing to the Bone Forging Realm in an extraordinary state will not only greatly improve one's physical qualities in all aspects after reaching the Bone Forging Realm, but will also be more helpful for future growth, just like changing to a higher-level profession.

Players can freely choose between these two promotion methods. There are neither rewards nor penalties. Whether or not a player wants to change to a higher-level profession is entirely up to them.

However, in Lin Qi's opinion, who could resist the temptation of changing to a higher-level profession?

Just as Lin Qi finished issuing the system announcement, there was a knock on the door. Qin Mu opened the door and let a young man from the Sen tribe in, while the others waited outside.

The moment Qin Mu opened the door to the third-level training room, a dense, almost misty energy surged out of the room, engulfing everyone outside.

"This energy... how is this possible?"

Everyone present, except Qin Mu, including Bert and Ino, was astonished.

Although it was only a portion of the energy overflowing from indoors, for a Bone Forging Realm martial artist who could freely absorb external energy, such a concentrated amount of energy was something they had never seen before in their lives.

It's like how absorbing external energy used to be like breathing air, but now we breathe liquid; the difference is obvious.

"Brother Qin, is the training room on the third floor reserved for the headmaster only?" Ino couldn't help but ask Qin Mu.

Although Qin Mu is only a martial artist and is far from reaching the Bone Forging Realm, as the instructor of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's garrison, his current status is no less than that of the city garrison commander.

Others in the City of Light might not know, but she was well aware that any gray-robed high-level martial arts disciple from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy could easily defeat a high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist. Qin Mu's status in the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy was much higher than those gray-robed disciples.

"This training room on the third floor is not for the exclusive use of the gym leader." Qin Mu shook his head and explained with a smile, "Any member of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has the opportunity to use this training room."

"Do members of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy have the opportunity to use it?" Upon hearing this, Ino's breathing became somewhat rapid.

Although she hadn't yet experienced the specific effects of the third-level cultivation room, she could tell from the energy overflowing from the room that if she could cultivate inside, the efficiency would be several times that of the outside world. One day would be equivalent to several days, which would not only greatly reduce the time spent on cultivation and training methods, but would also be of great use in breaking through to higher realms.

Such a powerful training room is open to all members of the martial arts school; it's hard to believe that if word got out, no one would believe it.

At this moment, not only was Ino extremely tempted, but the members of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals standing to the side were also extremely envious.

"These days, a city in the Fog Mountain region actually offers better benefits than our Earth Star Pharmaceuticals?"

They worked themselves to the bone at Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, striving to improve their ratings, but they never even had the chance to use the training rooms on the second floor of the Training Tower, let alone the third floor. Meanwhile, members of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy could use them at will—their benefits were far superior to those at Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. This made them seriously doubt whether Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, where they worked, was truly a dominant force in their region.

Among the people at Earthstar Pharmaceuticals, Bert, who entered the room, felt the deepest impact.

"The energy concentration here should be about eight times that of the outside world. Such concentrated energy would be of great help not only to those in the Bone Forging Realm, but also to someone like me in the Blood Condensation Realm. Even the Domain City doesn't have such technology. Where did the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy get it from?" Bert looked at the training room, which was the size of two or three basketball courts, and was extremely shocked.

He had visited both the domain cities in the Wushan region and the domain cities in the Tianhe region, and had even thoroughly explored them.

However, the best cultivation rooms that the two major cities could obtain only had an energy concentration four or five times that of the city centers. He was lucky enough to experience it once, and the cultivation experience was beyond description.

If he could have that kind of cultivation environment every day, he probably would have already advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm, and might even be able to break through to the middle stage of the Blood Condensation Realm now, competing for the championship in the Four Regions Youth Competition.

The training room on the third floor of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is even more terrifying now, with a concentration of about eight times that of the previous level. If he were to continue using it, winning the championship last year wouldn't be a difficult task.

It is truly unbelievable that such a terrifying training room exists in the hands of an obscure martial arts school.

"Please take a seat."

"I wonder what brings you here in person to discuss?"

Just as Bert was reeling from the shock, a deep voice reached his ears, causing him to involuntarily look toward the source of the sound.

In the center of the training room, a young human man dressed in a black martial robe sat quietly on a stone platform. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the platform was made of energy crystals and was the core of energy convergence within the entire training room.

"You're the owner of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?" Bert looked at Lin Qi with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Others might not be able to tell, but as a super genius of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, he was extraordinary in his ability to see people and things. Although his blood and qi could not detect Lin Qi, Lin Qi's life aura was very strong.

However, he was certain that the young human man in front of him was not at the high level of the Bone Forging Realm, and had not even reached the high level of the Bone Forging Realm. He was not at all like the person outsiders said, who was only one step away from the Blood Condensation Realm.

“That’s right, I am the master of the martial arts school, Lin Qi.” Lin Qi nodded. Under the influence of his spiritual domain, he also sensed that Bert had probably discovered the approximate level of his martial arts realm.

In this world, although the vast majority of people judge others' abilities by the interaction of their Qi and blood, there are always some exceptions who do not judge based on Qi and blood, but rather on experience or a sixth sense.

Bert is clearly the latter right now. Even though his blood and life force far exceed those of a normal high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist, Bert can still tell that he is not a high-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist.

"Since you're the head of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, that's good." Bert didn't elaborate, saying bluntly, "My name is Bert, I guess you haven't heard of him. On behalf of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, I'm issuing you this final notice: hand over the traitor Jacques. Furthermore, you must give Earth Star Pharmaceuticals an explanation for killing the two super geniuses, Fire Serpent and Shadow Fang. Otherwise, no matter who stands behind you, or whether Domain City wants to protect you, everyone in your Obsidian Martial Arts Academy will pay with their lives for Fire Serpent and Shadow Fang!"

As he spoke, Bert's aura surged, instantly enveloping the entire training room. The terrifying pressure was enough to render even a high-level martial artist at the Limit Bone Forging Realm unable to move.

As a super genius of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, especially after advancing to the Blood Condensation Realm, he doesn't really care about any force in the Four Domains except for the domain cities of each domain. This is not only his personal confidence, but also the confidence of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals in almost monopolizing the high-grade medicines in the Four Domains.

In the face of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, even the Smiling Skull, feared by everyone in the Fog Mountain region and whom even Fog Mountain City couldn't do anything about, had to give Earth Star Pharmaceuticals face, let alone the newly risen Obsidian Martial Arts School.

Before he arrived, he had carefully investigated the Obsidian Martial Arts School. Judging from the information, it was likely that a powerful force was behind the Obsidian Martial Arts School. Otherwise, it wouldn't have risen so quickly, even able to challenge the Smiling Skull in the Dead Mountain Range, and even directly defeat the allied army of Star Tower City and Holy Blood Mercenary Group.

Even if Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has a powerful force behind it, Earth Star Pharmaceuticals could still easily destroy it. Putting aside Earth Star Pharmaceuticals' own strength, just the fact that they hold the lifeline of martial artists' cultivation, namely high-grade potions, would allow all the major forces in the entire Fog Mountain region to collectively besiege Obsidian Martial Arts Academy and make it disappear completely from the Fog Mountain region.

Of course, doing so would definitely enrage the Misty Mountain City. He would not do this unless absolutely necessary. Right now, he is putting more pressure on the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy so that he can obtain the Cultivation Tower, or even the technology to build it, so that he can give an explanation to his superiors.

Otherwise, even he couldn't bear the responsibility of losing two super geniuses.

"Your Earth Star Pharmaceuticals are really domineering. You came to our Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's headquarters to arrest our people, and then you got dealt with, and now you expect me to give you an explanation? Don't you think your Earth Star Pharmaceuticals owes our Obsidian Martial Arts Academy an explanation?" Facing Bert's imposing manner, Lin Qi stood up without being affected at all. His own blood and qi erupted, covering nearly half of the training room, creating a situation of equal strength with Bert's blood and qi.

Before advancing to the Bone Forging Realm, he was somewhat wary of Blood Condensation Realm experts. Now that he has reached the Bone Forging Realm and has even mastered two training methods, he is no longer afraid of facing even one or two Blood Condensation Realm beginners.

“Your qi and blood are not bad, but that’s no reason for you to be arrogant in front of me.” Bert looked at Lin Qi, who was completely unrestrained, and although he was a little surprised, he quickly grabbed Lin Qi with one hand. “I’ll take you back now, and then I’ll have your backers come and ransom you.”

He was completely unwilling to talk to Lin Qi. In his view, Lin Qi was just a spokesperson pushed out by the forces behind him, and he wasn't even at the Blood Condensation Realm, so he wasn't qualified to talk to him.

His grab was no ordinary move; he used the extraordinary martial skill "Imprisoning Heaven Hand" to seal and suppress a space with his strength. Even super geniuses like Fire Serpent and Shadow Fang couldn't do anything against him, given his physical strength of sixty tons. Let alone Lin Qi, who wasn't even at the high level of the Bone Forging Realm.

An invisible hand that enveloped the entire training room reached out and grabbed Lin Qi, intending to suppress him on the spot.

"You think you can capture me when you're just a low-level Blood Condensation Realm martial artist?" Lin Qi felt the invisible hands reaching out to grab him from all around and couldn't help but shout coldly, "Who gave you the guts!"

Before the sound could even be heard, Lin Qi activated his extraordinary state, and the energy around him emanated, forming an energy layer ten centimeters thick.

He swung the club at Bert and attacked.

Super-level martial art, Reverse Star Hand, second level: Stardust Reversal!

Suddenly, a strong wind swept through the training room. The force of the club collided with the invisible hand, and the terrifying impact caused cracks to appear in the training room.

"How can it be!"

After the impact, Bert took two steps back, his outstretched hand aching from the shock, and looked at Lin Qi, who had only taken one step back, with disbelief.

At this moment, Lin Qi was no longer injured; he had clearly gained the upper hand in their previous clash.
