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

Chapter 275 The Sky Pierced and the Player's Second-Stage Transformation Concept

City of Light, Martial Arts Association.

In the silent training room, Precia's surprised voice echoed continuously, causing the half-scaled man who was cultivating with his eyes closed to open them and look directly at Precia on the communication device.

"What happened to Bert?" the half-scaled man asked in a low voice, looking at Precia who had just hung up the call.

Bert, as the leader of the Earth Star Pharmaceuticals team and a master of the Blood Coagulation Realm, is stronger than many city lords. If he were to hide and do something, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Precia hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Senior brother, something big might have happened in Crimson Moon Town."

"Bert made his move in Red Moon Town?" The half-scaled man looked at Precia with some surprise, not understanding why Precia looked so worried.

When Bert led his men to Crimson Moon Town, they knew something bad was bound to happen there. After all, Obsidian Martial Arts School had killed two of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals' super geniuses, which was no small matter for Earth Star Pharmaceuticals.

Although the super geniuses at Earth Star Pharmaceuticals are all raised on drugs and their true strength is slightly inferior to that of other major powers, they are still the result of hard work from among hundreds or even thousands of geniuses. The resources invested in them would drive even the city lords of major cities crazy.

As the team leader, Bert is certainly not immune to responsibility for the deaths of two super geniuses, so it's perfectly normal for him to go directly to the Obsidian Martial Arts School to cause trouble.

They also knew that Bert knew the rules, and even if he wanted to cause trouble for the Obsidian Martial Arts School, he wouldn't dare to go too far. After all, Bert was a Blood Condensation Realm expert. If he went too far, it would have a very negative impact on the Mist Mountain region, which would be a slap in the face to their Domain City.

So they turned a blind eye. If Bert made a big fuss, he would teach Bert a lesson. That's why Domain City sent him along.

Now that Bert is causing trouble in Red Moon Town, even if it gets out of hand, it's just a matter of him teaching Bert a lesson.

“It’s certain that they took action.” Precia nodded, her expression somewhat grave. “They made their move the very first day Bert entered Crimson Moon Town. Those sent to monitor them all sensed terrifying fluctuations in blood energy, but it ended quickly, so the monitors didn’t think much of it.”

"However, Bert has been inside the training tower built by the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy for more than two days now. Even the other people from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals have not come out of the tower. The surveillance personnel went into the training tower to investigate and found that Bert and the others were nowhere to be seen. Apart from being under repair, everything in the training tower was normal."

"The surveillance personnel suspect that Bert and the others may all be dead..."

"Dead?" The half-scaled man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked incredulously, "What evidence did those people have to monitor him?"

As a super genius at Earth Star Pharmaceuticals and a master of the Blood Coagulation Realm, Bert would have to put in a lot of effort to deal with him.

He couldn't believe that Bert had died on Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's territory.

Putting aside whether Obsidian Martial Arts School could actually do it, even if they could, they would absolutely not do it. After all, that was a representative of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. To kill them would be to openly declare war on Earth Star Pharmaceuticals.

While Earth Star Pharmaceuticals may not be as powerful as the regional cities of the Four Domains in terms of actual strength, it is a top-tier force in the Four Domains and monopolizes half of the high-grade medicines in the Four Domains. Its influence in the Four Domains can be said to be even greater than that of the regional cities in the Four Domains.

Openly declaring war on Earth Star Pharmaceuticals—even Domain City wouldn't dare to act so recklessly.

“There’s no concrete evidence,” Precia shook her head and explained softly, “However, the surveillance personnel said that on the day Bert and the others entered, the Obsidian Martial Arts School disposed of some bodies. Furthermore, in the past two days, they haven’t seen Bert and the others come out of that training tower, so they speculate that Bert and the others may have died inside…”

"Has the Obsidian Martial Arts School gone mad?" The young man from the Half-Scale Clan frowned deeply, his face grim. "They even dared to kill a representative from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. Don't they know that this is a declaration of war against Earth Star Pharmaceuticals?"

Although there is no conclusive evidence, it is simply impossible to keep Bert, a Blood Coagulation Realm expert from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, inside the tower for two days without him coming out.

Bert, as the representative of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, came here this time specifically to discuss the Fog Mountain Prison. With the Fog Mountain Prison about to open and two super geniuses dead, it's impossible not to report to Earth Star Pharmaceuticals in the Domain City and request that other geniuses be dispatched as soon as possible. Otherwise, the losses to Earth Star Pharmaceuticals will only increase further.

Bert stayed in Red Moon Town for more than two days, and the cucumbers were already cold.

Bert did not return to Domain City with them. The remaining possibilities are either that Bert wanted to betray Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, or that he was already dead.

For Bert, who knew Earthstar Pharmaceuticals very well, betraying Earthstar Pharmaceuticals was absolutely impossible.

Therefore, there is only one truth.

Bert is dead!

Although it is unknown how Obsidian Martial Arts School killed Bert, Bert is indeed dead.

"Senior brother, what should we do next?" Precia asked the half-scaled man with a grim expression.

In fact, her senior brother's guess was the same as hers; it was certain that Bert had been killed by the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

The entire delegation from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals was wiped out in the Fog Mountain region. This is no small matter. Two of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals' super geniuses are dead, especially since Earth Star Pharmaceuticals was in the wrong. Earth Star Pharmaceuticals can only suffer this loss. Afterwards, all they can do is cultivate a new generation of super geniuses as soon as possible and punish those responsible.

But now that Earth Star Pharmaceuticals has been completely wiped out, the situation is completely different. It can be said that Obsidian Martial Arts School has ripped a hole in the sky.

If they don't handle things properly, even if they don't die, they'll probably be badly injured.

"Notify Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. This is beyond our control." The half-scaled man sighed, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

“Then I’ll head back to Domain City.” Precia nodded and immediately got up and left the training room, not daring to waste any time.

The entire Earth Star Pharmaceuticals team was wiped out. Such an event was enough to cause a major earthquake in both regions. She couldn't understand how Obsidian Martial Arts School could be so audacious.

As Precia had predicted, the news caused a huge stir in the entire Fog Mountain Domain City, leaving everyone shocked and puzzled.

In the misty mountain city, there is a fresh and elegant courtyard.

As a winged man with two pairs of pure white wings, who appeared to be only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, entered the courtyard, Fan Sen, who was practicing martial arts with one eye and one hand inside, also stopped what he was doing.

"Brother Lan, why did you suddenly come here?" Fan Sen of the One-Eyed Clan looked at the approaching Feather Clan youth with some surprise.

Lan Yu!

There are few super geniuses in the entire Misty Mountain City who can rival him, and they are even a year younger than him, and their strength is only slightly weaker than his.

If it weren't for this trip to Wushan Prison where they teamed up with Lan Yu, they wouldn't normally have any interaction.

"Didn't you say before that you found a very good cooperation team outside?" Lan Yu, who had two pairs of pure white wings, asked in a low voice, "I came here today for that cooperation team."

"You mean Obsidian Martial Arts School?" Vansen said with confidence and excitement. "This Obsidian Martial Arts School is no ordinary school. I heard a few days ago that they took down two super geniuses from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. If our team cooperates with Obsidian Martial Arts School, we can definitely explore the lower district this time."

Although he had high hopes for the strength of the Obsidian Martial Arts School after it defeated Star Tower City, it gave him another surprise a few days ago.

As a top-tier power in the four regions, Earth Star Pharmaceuticals produces geniuses whose strength is generally average, but Obsidian Martial Arts Academy was able to defeat hundreds of geniuses and two super geniuses from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. Such strength would place them among the top ranks even in teams entering Fog Mountain Prison.

With their two teams working together, even top-tier teams could probably get their hands on one and enter the lower tiers of the prison. They would have a 50-60% chance, if not 80-90%.

“That’s right, it’s the Obsidian Martial Arts School.” Lan Yu nodded. “I came here to tell you to cancel all cooperation with the Obsidian Martial Arts School as soon as possible. If you don’t cancel, then I will have to withdraw from this team.”

"Brother Lan, why are you in this situation? Do you have a deep grudge against the Obsidian Martial Arts School?" Fan Sen looked at Lan Yu in confusion.

“It’s not that I have a grudge against Obsidian Martial Arts School.” Lan Yu shook his head and said very frankly, “It’s just that I don’t have the guts to join forces with Obsidian Martial Arts School. You probably don’t know yet, but Obsidian Martial Arts School has caused a huge disaster. Not long ago, they wiped out the entire delegation of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. Now this matter has almost spread throughout the entire Domain City.”

"They wiped out the entire delegation from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals? How is that possible?!" Fan Sen was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Lan Yu was joking with him.

He didn't know what the situation was when teams from other domains came, but as a top-tier power in the four domains, Earth Star Pharmaceuticals always had a Blood Condensation Realm expert accompanying them every time they came, and not just any ordinary Blood Condensation Realm expert.

The complete annihilation of the Earth Star Pharmaceuticals team means that even the Blood Coagulation Realm experts from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals have been eliminated.

However, as far as he knew, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy did not have any Blood Condensation Realm experts. The strongest among them was only the academy master, Lin Qi, a Bone Forging Realm expert. Even if the entire Obsidian Martial Arts Academy were combined, they would definitely not be a match for the Blood Condensation Realm experts from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, let alone be able to kill that Blood Condensation Realm expert.

“I estimate that Earth Star Pharmaceuticals will receive the news soon, and they definitely won’t let Obsidian Martial Arts School go. I advise you to cancel your cooperation with Obsidian Martial Arts School as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer along with them.” Lan Yu advised, “If you don’t cancel the cooperation, not only will I leave the team, but everyone else will too.”

“Okay, I’ll inform the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy right away.” Vansen agreed without hesitation.

Lan Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fan Sen had agreed. He was afraid that Fan Sen was stubborn. With the opening of the Mist Mountain Prison imminent, he didn't have any good teams to join. Acting alone in the Mist Mountain Prison would be suicidal, which would cause him to miss an opportunity to enter the Mist Mountain Prison. This was a result he absolutely did not want to see.

It wasn't until Fansen saw Lanyu off at the villa that he slowly came back to his senses from the shock.

"What a pity." Vansen gritted his teeth and then sent a follower to the City of Light to deliver the message.

Although he had high hopes for Obsidian Martial Arts School, he also knew that if he canceled the cooperation with Obsidian Martial Arts School, entering Fog Mountain Prison would not be a question of whether he could enter the lower level, but whether he would live or die.

Moreover, even if he continues to cooperate with Obsidian Martial Arts School, if all his team members leave the team, he still will not be able to enter the lower level area. The choice is obvious.

The City of Light, Obsidian Martial Arts School.

The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, which should have been bustling with people, has seen a dramatic drop in popularity since the news of the complete annihilation of the Earth Star Pharmaceutical Group. More than 90% of the people willing to come to the Academy to learn martial arts have disappeared, and even the number of applicants has decreased by more than 90%. Those who are still willing to join are either undocumented immigrants or people who have nowhere else to turn in the city.

This made the once bustling Obsidian Martial Arts School suddenly become much quieter.

"Master, Vansen said they want to cancel their cooperation with us." Qin Mu frowned slightly as he looked at the message he received. "Now we're not only going to have to explore the Misty Mountain Prison on our own, but the various forces might also try to sabotage us from within the prison. Do we really still have to go to the Misty Mountain Prison?"

Since the news of Bert and others' deaths spread, all the major powers have been terrified of them. Even the city lord has canceled the guard posts around the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, fearing that Earth Star Pharmaceuticals will hold a grudge.

Given the behavior of the various forces, it's almost certain that if Earth Star Pharmaceuticals were to raise its voice, these forces would certainly not mind helping them deal with the situation. When the people from Obsidian Martial Arts Academy enter Fog Mountain Prison, they will not be facing a group of independent factions, but rather a group of major factions targeting them from all sides.

“Go! Why wouldn’t we go?” Lin Qi smiled, not at all surprised. He had even anticipated this outcome when he killed Bert. “If they want to fight, our Obsidian Martial Arts School is not to be trifled with.”

As for entering the Fog Mountain Prison, he personally felt it was very necessary to go in and take a look after his battle with Bert.

Leaving aside the training methods that Obsidian Martial Arts Academy can currently offer up to the Bone Forging Realm, they don't even have a single extraordinary martial arts technique that players can learn, let alone a sequence of extraordinary martial arts techniques.

If he could learn even one extraordinary martial skill, his fight with Bert would be much easier. And there are many good things in the Fog Mountain Prison, not to mention training methods for those above the Blood Condensation Realm. So no matter what Earth Star Pharmaceuticals plans to do, he must enter the Fog Mountain Prison.

"By the way, how's the berserk potion being made by Jacrow coming along?" Lin Qi asked casually.

Jacrown's Berserk Potion is a great thing for the Obsidian Martial Arts School, as it can increase overall physical attributes by 20%. The impact on strength is far greater than 20%, especially since most players are now high-level martial artists, so this boost is significant.

"It's already being sold in the martial arts school. Jacques also said that the disciples trained to make berserk potions are now able to make them independently. I believe we can prepare enough berserk potions for all the disciples before they enter the Fog Mountain Prison," Qin Mu reported.

"Okay." Lin Qi nodded. This was the best news he had received in the past few days.

Since killing Bert, not a single player has advanced to the Bone Forging Realm in the past two days, which has greatly slowed down his progress in learning the third training method.

However, with the Berserk Potion now available, the Obsidian Martial Arts School's strength has been somewhat compensated.

While Lin Qi and Qin Mu were discussing how to better use the berserk potion, Li Ranxing, sitting cross-legged in the martial arts school's lounge, held a bottle of berserk potion he had just exchanged.

"According to the simulations of the super quantum computer, even if my physical condition enters a superhuman state, I still won't be able to form a mecha on my body. I wonder if this berserk potion will work." Li Ranxing recalled his practice over the past few days, and then activated his superhuman life form again, poured in another dose of berserk potion, and began to construct a huge mecha phantom around himself once more.
