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

Chapter 289 Unlocking the pay-to-win mode in this game requires talent!
The City of Light, Obsidian Martial Arts School.

In the quiet intermediate gravity chamber, Lin Qi listened to the report from Ino, a high-level martial artist at the Limit Bone Forging Realm, while cultivating the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique.

"Master, this is all the information about the martial arts school during this period." After reading all the messages in his hand, Ino looked at Lin Qi with great respect, his eyes filled with indescribable shock.

Since she joined the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy in Red Moon Town and took over the daily statistics work of the entire academy, as well as the management of the training tower and gravity chamber, she is usually qualified to enter the intermediate gravity chamber for training within the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

However, she can withstand a gravity environment with an optimal training gravity of thirty times, a training environment that even the Martial Arts Association cannot provide. The strength of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is far beyond her imagination.

At this moment, Lin Qi adjusted the gravity environment to one hundred times the normal gravity. Such a gravity environment would make it difficult for her to even move, let alone cultivate. However, one hundred times the normal gravity environment was just Lin Qi's normal cultivation environment.

If all the major powers confirm that Lin Qi has indeed entered the Fog Mountain Prison, she suspects that Lin Qi has already reached the Blood Condensation Realm, and may not even be an ordinary Blood Condensation Realm expert.

"Hmm, not bad. It seems the martial arts school has developed rapidly during this period." Lin Qi stopped his practice and nodded.

During the three days he was away, not only did the number of players increase by 300, but thanks to the training equipment in the martial arts school, the number of martial artists also broke through to 1732, with the number of high-level martial artists exceeding 800.

Moreover, many players in the prison have gained new insights in actual combat during this period, and their control over their bodies and strength has improved. The number of Bone Forging Realm warriors has also exceeded twenty, which can be considered as fulfilling the first condition for the administrator's authority to be upgraded.

As for Red Moon Town, due to the Cultivation Tower, the number of wild wanderers who came to want the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, and even the number of family disciples from other cities, has also surged recently. Now, the number of disciples in the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has exceeded 500,000, and it is only halfway to reach one million disciples.

Among them, there are more than three thousand disciples whose strength has reached the level of martial artists, and fifteen martial artists whose strength has reached the level of bone forging realm, including Ino.

These Bone Forging Realm warriors who joined the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy halfway through their careers are now all under Ino's management. They are usually responsible for guarding the Cultivation Tower and Gravity Chamber to prevent disciples or outsiders from causing trouble. After all, the Cultivation Tower and Gravity Chamber are so popular that they are in short supply. Without sufficient strength, it is impossible to manage them. Qin Mu, on the other hand, is specifically responsible for training the academy's guard team and cultivating the academy's core members.

"The reason why the martial arts school has developed so quickly is entirely due to the excellent training conditions." Ino looked at Lin Qi, who was very satisfied, and said with a slight worry, "Master, because of the auction that is going to be held in Red Moon Town, many experts at the Bone Forging Realm have come to Red Moon Town today. Members of the major forces in the Mist Mountain region will probably come one after another. With the current strength of our martial arts school, those Refining Visceral Realm martial artists are not a problem, but we are afraid that it will be difficult to manage the Bone Forging Realm martial artists."

The rapid development of martial arts schools is naturally a good thing, especially the development of Red Moon Town, which is changing almost every day. She has never seen a town develop so quickly.

Even without considering the gray-robed disciples of the martial arts school, the current martial arts strength of Red Moon Town is comparable to the regular garrison of an ordinary city.

However, this amount of resources was still insufficient for Red Moon Town, which was about to hold the auction, let alone when the auction was actually held.

She was also taken aback when she received the news, and she couldn't understand what Lin Qi, the owner of the museum, was thinking.

"Don't worry, I'll have the martial arts school disciples help maintain order in Crimson Moon Town." Lin Qi smiled and took out a large sausage, handing it directly to Ino. "You've been stuck at the high-level of the Limitless Bone Forging Realm for quite some time. This will help you learn training methods quickly. I'll also give you a Blood Condensation Realm training method later. With the help of the Cultivation Tower, it shouldn't be difficult for you to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm using that training method."

"Break through to the Blood Condensation Realm? Can I do it?" Ino looked at the magical giant sausage in her hand and stared at Lin Qi in surprise.

She had only been a member of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy for a few days. Although she joined the Academy with the goal of breaking through to the level of the city lord, she was even prepared to work hard at the Academy for more than ten years.

She never expected that Lin Qi would give her the opportunity to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm so quickly; it was like a dream.

"Well, I can't guarantee you'll break through to the Blood Condensation Realm; it depends on you." Lin Qi nodded. "If you succeed, you'll be in charge of managing the security of Crimson Moon Town."

Currently, the local martial arts strength in the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is too low. Although the newly formed garrison is making every effort to cultivate and recruit talent, this will take a lot of time and cannot be accomplished overnight.

Besides Meng Wei and Qin Mu, the only people he could use were Wu Zhuoqun, who had also recently joined the party and was none other than Yinuo, the former leader of the City of Light.

The first three are not strong enough. Even if he gave all the magical sausages he won from the high-level roulette wheel to one person during this period, it would be impossible for him to quickly reach the high level of the Bone Forging Realm, let alone the Blood Condensation Realm.

Because of the upcoming auction, more and more players at the Bone Forging Realm are flocking to Crimson Moon Town. Although these players can be dealt with by transforming into high-level martial artists, it's not a long-term solution. We still need Blood Condensation Realm experts to hold things together, and Ino is undoubtedly the best choice.

As for why he dared to hold an auction for the guard robots in Red Moon Town, it wasn't some arrogant or impulsive choice, but rather because he had no choice but to do so.

Through analyzing the twenty guard robots, he clearly understood that obtaining training methods above the Blood Coagulation Realm was extremely difficult, and even training methods for the Blood Coagulation Realm itself were not so easy to come by.

In just three days, he had already reached over 70% proficiency in the three training methods he extracted from the players. He was confident that he could master all three training methods in five days and even attempt to break through to the advanced stage of the Bone Forging Realm.

After all, in just three days, his physical condition had improved to the mid-stage of the Bone Forging Realm through the use of three types of energy potions in the well-energy-rich prison. It was just that his proficiency in the three training methods was a little lacking. If he had mastered even one of them, he would already be a mid-stage Bone Forging Realm martial artist.

Even with the player focusing all their efforts on capturing the guarding robots, he still improved at this rate. If the player then concentrates on cultivation, his improvement rate will be even faster. Therefore, he must quickly develop at least one powerful Blood Condensation Realm training method. Not to mention, once he breaks through to the Blood Condensation Realm, Earth Star Pharmaceuticals will probably have no way to deal with him anymore.

However, you can't buy the training methods for the Blood Coagulation Realm normally. These are the foundation of major forces and they won't sell them casually. As for the guard robots in his hands, they are not very useful. He originally planned to throw them away in the prison, but the major forces regard the guard robots as treasures. This is a good opportunity for him to collect a large number of training methods.

Although he also wanted to exchange for powerful martial arts techniques, the major powers might not necessarily sell them. After all, all the major powers had their own training methods, and no matter how they trained, they would only reach the early or middle stage of the Blood Condensation Realm, with a very tight upper limit. Even if they reached the Blood Condensation Realm, they would still need a lot of energy and blood essence to cultivate. But martial arts techniques were different. Even those in the Bone Forging Realm could learn extraordinary martial arts techniques or even super-limit martial arts techniques, allowing those in the Blood Condensation Realm to fight beyond their level.

Only a fool would sell these martial arts techniques just for an uncertain legacy of a guardian robot.

In five days, according to his estimate, he could at least reach the mid-stage limit of the Bone Forging Realm. At that time, when he activated his extraordinary state, with the club in his hand and his mental domain, he could even fight against a high-stage Blood Condensation Realm martial artist. Not to mention, he could also escape with supersonic speed in the air, and then let the players who advanced to the Bone Forging Realm wear him down.

Players at the Bone Forging Realm can even wear down the invincible guard robots, so he really doesn't believe that warriors at the Blood Coagulation Realm can outlast the guard robots.

Inside the intermediate gravity chamber, after Lin Qi finished giving his instructions, he sent Ino a half-part of the Blood Coagulation Realm training method that he had obtained from the guard robot. Ino excitedly took the magical sausage and ran straight to the beginner meditation room to study and cultivate. She couldn't contain herself for a moment as she tried to break through to the Blood Coagulation Realm.

"Next, we'll see how these players' training methods break through." Lin Qi watched Ino leave excitedly and couldn't help but bring up the system panel to check the players' training progress. He had been very generous with this event, distributing a lot of contribution points to encourage players to spend on the beginner meditation room and the training tower, thus accelerating their progress.

However, Lin Qi was shocked after checking the status of those Bone Forging Realm players.

"What's going on?"

Lin Qi watched as the Bone Forging Realm players' training methods, after half a day, not only did they not improve in the slightest, but some were still in a dead state, and none of them knew what they were doing.

Lin Qi even looked at some players whose strength had reached the high-level martial artist level and found that some of these players were in a dead state and their training methods had not improved at all.

However, before Lin Qi could investigate what was going on, a deafening roar suddenly echoed throughout the martial arts hall. The terrifying impact even caused the ground to shake violently, as if it were an 8-magnitude earthquake, and it only stabilized after several seconds.

"Enemy attack?"

Lin Qi steadied himself and quickly got up, intending to go outside to see what was going on, when a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

System: Congratulations, host! A player has created an ultimate extraordinary martial skill, triggering the epic hidden quest 'Beyond the Limit'. This quest allows the player to create a super-limit martial skill and rewards them with a perfect martial skill evolution. The player can choose one of the martial skills they possess to evolve perfectly, with a certain probability of evolving into a super-limit martial skill, naturally reaching the perfect level.

System: Congratulations, host, on completing the second stage of the Path to Immortality. You have created ten extraordinary martial arts techniques and are rewarded with a super-perfect martial arts fusion.

"Ultimate Transcendent Martial Technique? Could that be what caused the tremor just now?" Lin Qi stared blankly at the system notification below his field of vision.

He never expected that a player could create a martial skill that surpasses the extraordinary level. Moreover, not only did he create a martial skill that surpasses the extraordinary level, but he also completed a high-level hidden quest at the same time, which really surprised him.

Extraordinary martial arts techniques cannot be created overnight. He felt that it would take several months, or even half a year, to complete the task of creating ten extraordinary martial arts techniques. After all, creating extraordinary martial arts techniques requires talent, continuous research and testing, and very few people can do it.

Especially for martial arts techniques at the extraordinary level or above, simply learning them requires mastering the control of strength and energy to an extraordinary level, let alone creating them.

Immediately, Lin Qi clicked on the system bar, wanting to see who was so powerful as to create an ultimate extraordinary martial skill.

"Ye Qinglu?"

Lin Qi was quite surprised to see Ye Qinglu create a new martial arts technique on the system panel.

Ye Qinglu's previous creation, the Tenfold Thunder Fang, was already quite powerful, with destructive power no less than that of the extraordinary martial arts techniques in the Domain City. Unexpectedly, he created an even more powerful martial arts technique so quickly, and the system even named it the Ultimate Extraordinary Martial Arts Technique.

All of this made Lin Qi curious about what level of martial arts this ultimate extraordinary level martial art was.

Inside the intermediate training room of the martial arts school, the entire training room had been reduced to ruins. Even the intermediate combat puppet was missing half of its body. The ceiling and walls of the training room were also gone. All that remained in the training room was Ye Qinglu, whose face was ashen and who was bleeding from all seven orifices, along with a longsword scattered all over the floor.

"It's done! I've finally mastered the Zhou Tian Sword Formation!" Ye Qinglu glanced at the three hundred longswords scattered on the ground, her eyes filled with excitement. "It truly lives up to its reputation as an advanced visualization technique of the martial arts school. If I can reach a proficient level, mastering the Thousand Swords Diagram shouldn't be a problem either."

While Ye Qinglu was overjoyed, the players watching outside the intermediate training room were in an uproar.

"Is this the enhancement effect of mastering the Divine Contemplation Technique?" Yi Ye Fuyun stared at the destroyed intermediate training room, his mouth agape, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although Ye Qinglu had previously demonstrated to him the effects of mastering the Divine Contemplation Technique, such as the number of longswords he could control—he could control three hundred swords with just a thought, effectively doubling the number he could control.

This left everyone who saw it stunned by the effects of the Divine Contemplation Method.

Although everyone knew beforehand that the advanced visualization technique would definitely improve players significantly, no one expected it to be this much. Moreover, this improvement was an epic enhancement to the control system.

Ye Qinglu has only practiced for a little over half a day, and he has already defeated the intermediate-level combat puppet in one move. His combat power is simply heaven-defying.

"What the hell is this advanced visualization technique? I've been practicing it for ages and I still haven't even gotten the basics right. Why can other people's heads explode as soon as they practice it? No matter how I practice, I can't get my head to explode."

"This game is truly the most overpowered game I've ever seen. Other games are begging players to spend money, but this crappy game requires talent to even spend money..."

"Can someone teach me how to explode my head? I'll offer ten million credits!"

The players looked at Ye Qinglu in the hall with undisguised envy. Since learning the Shocking Divine Visualization Technique from Ye Qinglu, their heads had exploded four times, making them the ones who had exploded the most times among all those who had learned it.

The fact that it could be so powerful after only four explosions made even the few advanced and intermediate martial artists who had learned it wish they could explode it a few more times so they could quickly catch up with the top-tier players.

"Getting stronger by exploding your head? What kind of nonsense is that?"

Lin Qi, who was observing from a distance, was completely dumbfounded when he heard the players' discussion. He didn't remember ever teaching the players such a visualization method.

Immediately, Lin Qi opened the system menu and gave Ye Qinglu the last extraction opportunity of the day, directly extracting the "Surprising Divine Contemplation Technique" to see what was going on.
