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

Chapter 276 The Player's Extraordinary New Form

Obsidian Martial Arts School, lounge.

After Li Ranxing drank the berserk potion, his energy, which had already surged, expanded to a whole size. His skin turned red all over, and his blood vessels bulged out like earthworms.

"Form established... Power stabilized... Mech manifested!"

After lasting for more than ten seconds, a huge mecha phantom, more than ten meters tall, appeared around Li Ranxing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Its terrifying power could be clearly felt by people outside the rest room, as if a giant beast was roaring.

For a moment, the players and disciples in the martial arts training ground couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

"It's been several days already, hasn't Captain Li given up yet?"

Looking at the terrifying aura emanating from Li Ranxing's rest room, Yi Ye Fuyun on the second floor couldn't help but shake his head.

Ever since Li Ranxing saw Fang Zhen manifest the golden lion using his internal energy, he has been fascinated by the concept of manifesting internal energy. He always wanted to use his internal energy to manifest a real mecha and become a man who could pilot a mecha with his bare hands.

He tried it, but quickly found that the method was too difficult to implement.

If it were simply a matter of manifesting a mecha using force, that would be easy; even he could do it now. But to control it like a real mecha, to make it move at will, requires energy and the ability to control force that even a high-level martial artist, or even a Bone Forging Realm martial artist, cannot achieve.

It would be more practical to use the advanced technology of the High Martial Arts Descendant to build mechs instead of spending time showcasing them.

He is now just one step away from becoming a high-level Bone Forging Realm professional, as officially stated. He might even succeed today. Li Ranxing's talent is much stronger than his. He left earlier to try to become a Bone Forging Realm professional. If he had focused on improving his training methods these days, he could have improved by who knows how much. In the end, all his time was wasted on manifesting his strength.

However, just as Yi Ye Fuyun was regretting that Li Ranxing was wasting time, the power of Li Ranxing's rest room suddenly decreased. Immediately afterwards, everyone in the martial arts training ground felt that the energy in the air was rapidly gathering towards Li Ranxing's rest room, and it was gathering faster and faster, directly forming an energy storm like a typhoon. This made the apprentices and players in the martial arts hall feel uncomfortable and unable to cultivate at all.

"What's going on? Did I mess up my training?"

The surging energy within the martial arts hall left Yi Ye Fuyun and the others stunned.

At this moment, the energy gathered in Li Ranxing's rest room was terrifying; the gathered energy even became visible to the naked eye, forming a mist-like state.

Such terrifying energy gathered in one place was something even Luo Wushang had never experienced when she broke through to the Bone Forging Realm.

Immediately afterward, a loud bang came from Li Ranxing's rest room, and the entire rest room was reduced to dust, along with several surrounding rest rooms. The power of the explosion was comparable to that of a heavy ion bomb.

This scene left the disciples who had recently joined the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy stunned.

Problems during cultivation are commonplace for martial artists; internal organ injuries, bleeding throughout the body, and broken bones are all quite normal occurrences.

But they had never seen anyone like Li Ranxing who cultivated to the point of exploding, which made these martial arts school disciples doubt whether the training methods of the Obsidian Martial Arts School were legitimate.

At this moment, not only the players and disciples in the martial arts training ground were alarmed, but also the players and disciples in other parts of the martial arts school were alarmed by the explosion and couldn't help but run out to see.

Inside the completely destroyed lounge on the second floor, a gigantic figure over seven or eight meters tall had appeared out of nowhere. Although the figure was obscured by smoke and dust and could not be clearly seen, everyone could feel the terrifying energy and life force emanating from it.

"Captain Li?"

As the smoke and dust dissipated, Yi Ye Fu Yun was completely stunned by the sight of the enormous figure.

Although Li Ranxing's appearance was the same as before, he was now over eight meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body. The energy surrounding his entire body was only a thin layer on the surface, making him look like a humanoid Titan.

However, compared to Li Ranxing's changed appearance, what is even more astonishing is the feeling he gives people.

If Li Ranxing in his previous transformation was a ferocious beast, then now he gives the impression of a mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex, with the earth trembling with every step he takes.

"Captain Li, what's going on?"

Fang Zhen, who came out of the lounge, looked at Li Ranxing, who was at least three stories tall, and couldn't help but ask him questions out of curiosity.

At this moment, Li Ranxing was so imposing that even when he was dozens of meters away, he still felt short of breath. This was a feeling he had never experienced when facing a leader of the Blood Condensation Realm.

"This... I don't know either." The enormous Li Ranxing shook his head. "I was just trying to increase my energy and strength in the rest room to make the manifested mecha phantom more stable. However, once the effects of the berserk drug wore off, I couldn't control the excessive energy and strength at all, and it inexplicably rushed back into my body, turning me into what I am now..."

"Your own energy and strength were too powerful to control, so your body absorbed it automatically?" Fang Zhen looked at Li Ranxing, who seemed like a Titan, and asked curiously, "How are you feeling now?"

"I feel great. I even feel like I could create a crater with a single step." Li Ranxing assessed his physical condition and said truthfully, "It's just that my control and reflexes have decreased a lot. I'm afraid I can hardly use even super-level martial arts techniques now."

"You stepped into a crater? Can I see the data on the panel?" Fang Zhen was somewhat surprised after hearing this, feeling that Li Ranxing was probably not lying. After all, for experts like them, their general assessment of the body was unlikely to be wrong.

Li Ranxing then opened his system panel for Fang Zhen to view.

"Holy crap! This data is insane!"

Fang Zhen looked at Li Ranxing's data panel and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Old Zhen, you're exaggerating too much. Are the data really that impressive?" Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at Fang Zhen's exclamation and thought that Fang Zhen was exaggerating too much. How much stronger could he be?

The other players present nodded in agreement, thinking that Fang Zhen was making a big fuss over nothing.

"See for yourselves." Fang Zhen, seeing the disdainful looks from the crowd, showed them Li Ranxing's data panel. "Whether I'm exaggerating or not."

As Fang Zhen displayed Li Ranxing's data panel, the players present were stunned.

"You beast!"

"This is absolutely cheating!"

Players, including Yi Ye Fu Yun, exclaimed in astonishment as they looked at Li Ranxing's stats. Under normal circumstances, the standard strength of a beginner in the Bone Forging Realm is only about 15 tons. However, because Li Ranxing is a strength-based being, his strength in his normal state reached 13 tons after advancing to the Bone Forging Realm. If he were to activate his extraordinary state, his strength could soar to 30 tons.

Li Ranxing now possesses a strength of 50 tons, a level that would easily surpass any Bone Forging Realm cultivator. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a high-level humanoid lord.

"Captain Li, how did you manage to be in such good form? Could you explain in detail?" After reviewing the data, Yi Ye Fu Yun couldn't help but ask Li Ran Xing.

Although Li Ranxing's reaction and control have decreased significantly after becoming so tall, his data panel is simply invincible, far surpassing even Luo Wushang in her extraordinary state.

If I could master this transformation technique, I could take down any kid with a single punch when I went to the Mountain of the Dead. I could even face that Blood Condensation Realm leader head-on.

Li Ranxing didn't hold back and explained the whole process of how he got into this state, which made everyone present's eyes light up.

"Although I haven't advanced to the Bone Forging Realm yet, if I use the Berserk Potion to activate that simulated mecha martial skill, I should have a chance to master it." After hearing this, Yi Ye Fuyun couldn't help but want to give it a try.

Although my dream of piloting a mecha in the high-martial arts world couldn't be realized, being able to become a mecha giant is still quite awesome, after all, who can resist such a data panel?

At this moment, it wasn't just Yiye Fuyun who thought this way; many players present shared the same sentiment.

The number of players rushing to exchange for Berserk Potions surged, and even Luo Wushang, who was constantly creating new martial arts techniques, couldn't resist trying them out.

“Gigantification can greatly increase one’s strength, but it will sacrifice reaction and speed, which is not suitable for someone like me who uses a sword.” Luo Wushang looked at the information given to her by Li Ranxing and couldn’t help but analyze her own situation. “However, if I can compress this gigantification energy into a single sword strike, I should be able to create a sword strike that is even stronger than Jue Tian’s.”

Thinking of this, Luo Wushang couldn't help but drink a bottle of berserk potion and begin to try to grow to a gigantic size.

Just half a day after all the players were engrossed in their giant-scale cultivation frenzy, Lin Qi, who was cultivating in the newly renovated intermediate gravity chamber, suddenly heard a system notification in his mind.

System: Congratulations, host! A player has created an extraordinary martial arts technique.

"Is this gigantification under extraordinary conditions a kind of extraordinary martial art?" Lin Qi was quite surprised when he saw the system prompt that had just appeared.

He knew about Li Ranxing's gigantic transformation almost immediately.

However, such things can only be treated as special cases. After all, not everyone is so lucky to be able to return to their original body after the uncontrollable external energy and force return unharmed. Not to mention Li Ranxing after he became gigantic, who died in less than three minutes, or rather, his cells naturally disintegrated.

Although the underlying principle is unknown, it seems that after becoming gigantic, the extraordinary state becomes irreversible. Instead of declining due to insufficient energy, it is burned up.

He had absolutely no interest in this kind of superhuman enlargement, since using it would lead to certain death; only players could practice it.

But unexpectedly, Li Ranxing, who had been trying to recreate the gigantic state, actually created a complete gigantic extraordinary state, which was even recognized by the system as an extraordinary martial skill, which was truly surprising.

If every player who learns the extraordinary state can master this martial skill, it will be a qualitative improvement for the Obsidian Martial Arts School. After all, Li Ranxing, after becoming gigantic, is already at the level of the initial stage of the Blood Condensation Realm in terms of physical strength. This is just the data on the panel; his actual strength is even stronger.

In the short span of three minutes, Li Ranxing possessed the data panel of the Blood Coagulation Realm, making it no exaggeration to call him a true Blood Coagulation Realm martial artist.

If every Bone Forging Realm player could learn this skill, even if it were just twenty, then in the Misty Mountain region, apart from Domain City, probably no other force would have so many Blood Condensation Realm experts. At that time, the Obsidian Martial Arts School could dominate the Misty Mountain region.

Just as Lin Qi was lost in his fantasy, the smartwatch on his wrist suddenly beeped.

"What's the matter?" Lin Qi asked curiously, looking at Qin Mu who had contacted him.

"Master, a group of experts have arrived at the martial arts school. They say they are from Domain City and wish to see you," Qin Mu asked. "Should we see them?"

"People from Domain City want to see me?" Lin Qi asked curiously. "Could it be because of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals?"

After Vansen announced the cancellation of the cooperation, he knew that the matter of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals must have been exposed. However, Domain City has never interfered in the affairs of the major forces within the domain. Just like when he provoked Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, if Earth Star Pharmaceuticals retaliated, Domain City would not do much. After all, power struggles are too common in this world.

At most, Yucheng can only prevent the Blood Coagulation Realm experts from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals from entering the Mist Mountain area. As for anything else, they probably won't care at all. That's why he dared to kill Bert.

Of course, sometimes the Domain City will turn a blind eye to outside forces. As long as the outside forces do not attack the city, the Domain City will generally not bother to care. Just like when the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce retaliated against the Holy Blood Mercenary Group, it directly sent several Blood Condensation Realm experts to deal with the Holy Blood Mercenary Group.

The sudden arrival of people from Yucheng was quite unexpected for him.

"Let them go to the reception room," Lin Qi thought for a moment, deciding to meet them anyway.

Although he didn't know what the people of Domain City were planning, understanding Domain City's attitude would be of great help to him in his future fight against Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. After all, he wasn't invincible at the moment; he only had the power to fight against experts in the Blood Condensation Realm.

"Yes." Qin Mu then hung up the call.

Less than ten minutes later, Qin Mu led the three of them to the VIP meeting room on the third floor.

The three people from the Domain City consisted of two women and one man, and all of them were very young. The oldest of them, a half-scaled man, looked to be under forty years old. One of the women was a player who had posted photos and videos on the official forum; her name was Precia. The other woman was a winged woman with three pairs of golden wings, who looked to be in her early thirties, but she gave the impression of being the leader of the three.

"Hello, Master Lin. My name is Xie Feina, and I am currently the deputy leader of the delegation from Wushan Domain City that has entered Wushan Prison." The woman with three pairs of golden wings said with a smile.

"The deputy head of the Domain City delegation?" Lin Qi looked at Shefina, the half-scaled man standing behind her, and Precia, and nodded. "I wonder what business Shefina has with me?"

Although Xie Feina in front of her was only at the Bone Forging Realm, the half-scaled man behind her was a genuine mid-level Blood Condensation Realm expert, which showed that Xie Feina's status in the Domain City was extraordinary.

“I heard from Junior Brother Fansen that he canceled his cooperation with Master Lin, so I came here specifically to cooperate with Master Lin. We can explore the lower levels of the prison together and help me solve a problem,” Shefina said with a smile. “Of course, this cooperation will not be a waste of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy’s help. I can stop the Blood Coagulation Realm experts from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals from attacking the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.”

"Preventing a Blood Condensation Realm expert from making a move? That's a good condition. I wonder what kind of trouble we'll have to deal with this time?" Lin Qi became somewhat interested after hearing this.

For Obsidian Martial Arts School right now, the most dangerous thing is the Blood Coagulation Realm expert from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals. As long as the Blood Coagulation Realm expert doesn't come out, Earth Star Pharmaceuticals can't do anything to him.

“Master Lin is indeed straightforward.” Shefina paused and said, “Then I will be frank with you. Master Lin only needs to help me deal with one living prisoner in the lower district.”
