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

Chapter 299 I am the Peak at the Top of the Mountain

"What a powerful sword!"

"Is this the power of the sword skills of the NPCs from the Heavenly Realm?"

Fang Zhen looked at the overturned earth and the twelve beasts of the Forbidden Forest a few kilometers away, and he was also shocked by Luo Wushang's sword.

The sword skills of the NPCs in the Fog Mountain Prison are familiar to any player who participated in the siege. Although the sword is very strong and could easily kill a Bone Forging Realm player, no one expected it to be so powerful when used by a player.

With just one sword strike, he severely injured so many Blood Condensation Realm BOSSes; this was even stronger than the ultimate transcendent-level martial arts he had mastered.

"With just this one sword strike, it seems that my older sister's chances of taking the number one spot are really slim."

Looking at Luo Wushang, who was also standing still and unable to move, Yi Ye Fuyun felt a pang of envy and sigh.

After players reach the Bone Forging Realm, potion resources are important, but if they want to level up quickly, the training room in the Cultivation Tower is also very important. Especially after cultivating to the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm, the effect of each bone tempering is getting worse and worse. Even if the proficiency of the training method is much higher, the effect of tempering the bones is still slow.

It even led many to suspect that even if one reached 100% proficiency in the third level of the training method, it would still take at least a month to advance from the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm to the high stage.

The only way to speed up this process is to enter the training rooms of the Cultivation Tower, especially the training rooms on the third floor. Just by looking at Fang Zhen, you can see the training effect there. Among all the Bone Forging Realm players, Fang Zhen has the highest physical fitness and is also the first person to step into the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm.

After the event opens, only the top three players in each realm of the Martial Arts Arena who PK in the Cultivation Tower in Red Moon Town are eligible to rent the third floor of the Tower. Moreover, there is a time limit for this rental every week.

For example, in the weekly PK competition for martial artists in the Refining Organs Realm, the person who wins first place can rent for a maximum of 24 hours within a week, the second place can only rent for 12 hours, the third place can only rent for 6 hours, and the reward time for martial artists in the Bone Forging Realm is increased by 50%.

Originally, he and his older sister Ye Qinglu thought they could win two spots in the Bone Forging Realm with their self-created new martial arts technique. But after today's battle, not only did he have no chance in the Bone Forging Realm PK, but now even his older sister Ye Qinglu's chances of winning a top-three position in the Bone Forging Realm are in doubt.

Moreover, in this town storyline, Luo Wushang clearly performed the best and earned the most. Even if she couldn't rent the training room on the third floor normally, she could still rent the training room on the second floor and the intermediate gravity room on a long-term basis. These are places that cost a lot of money to rent, and ordinary high-level martial artists simply cannot afford them.

While the players were whispering amongst themselves, the various factions within Red Moon Town were also in an uproar.

"The Twelve Beasts of the Forbidden Forest, the Bloodstained Warrior Melia, and the Beast Karad—are they really all gone just like that?"

"Those two disciples from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy are too strong. I feel that even the champion of the Four Regions Youth Tournament is probably no more than this."

"Just who is this Obsidian Martial Arts School?"

……

Members of various factions looked at the Obsidian Martial Arts School at this moment, and they were all deeply moved. They never expected that the Obsidian Martial Arts School could be so powerful.

Killing the Demon Demon and bringing together all the Blood Condensation Realm experts hired by Extinction Star Pharmaceuticals—such a feat is comparable to that of the Mercenary Alliance and Azurewing City in the entire Mist Mountain region.

"One killed Mang Fu, and the other seriously injured more than ten experts in the Blood Condensation Realm, including the Bloodstained Warrior. From now on, the Mist Mountain region will have another powerful figure." Hu Lei sighed as he looked at Ye Qinglu and Luo Wushang, who were unable to move.

Not long ago, he thought that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy had no experts at the Blood Condensation Realm and was just an insignificant force. He even thought that if it weren't for the restrictions imposed by the Domain City at the time, he would have destroyed the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

In retrospect, the restrictions imposed by the domain city saved his life.

"The Three Strongest in Fog Mountain?" Zhuogu felt a pang of envy upon hearing this.

Although he was personally very strong, even the Red Moon Merchant Guild couldn't do anything to him, the Holy Blood Mercenary Group was ultimately just him alone, and he couldn't accomplish anything. All he owned was a large city in a remote area, which allowed the Flame Horn Clan to live in peace.

However, Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has more than just Lin Qi as an expert. Not to mention Ino, who later advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm, even the two gray-robed disciples at present are experts who can guard a city in a remote place by themselves.

In this way, if the Obsidian Martial Arts School does not want to be restricted by the Fog Mountain Domain City, it can establish at least three cities in remote areas and possess the energy and blood essence resources of the three cities. With the Celestial Realm training method, it is not impossible for them to break through to the Celestial Realm in the future.

At this moment, not only were the major forces shocked, but even Lin Qi, who had not yet recovered, was surprised and amazed by the outcome of the battle between Ye Qinglu and Luo Wushang.

"When did these two master such powerful martial arts techniques?" Lin Qi looked at the two of them, unable to believe it.

Martial arts techniques that allow one to fight beyond their level are incredibly difficult to learn in this world, let alone create.

However, Ye Qinglu and Luo Wushang are quite remarkable. Ye Qinglu created a supreme extraordinary martial art with destructive power comparable to a transcendental martial art, while Luo Wushang mastered a transcendental martial art without detailed guidance. Although both have significant side effects and render the user powerless once used, it is still an astonishing feat.

This is equivalent to the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy gaining two more top-tier combatants who can threaten high-level Blood Condensation Realm martial artists. It means that apart from the three untouchable forces in the Mist Mountain region, no other force can threaten the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

"Senior sister, that sword strike! It looks like the martial art that prisoner used!" Precia pointed to the overturned ground and couldn't help but say.

“It must have been that sword strike.” Shefina nodded, her eyes filled with undisguised surprise and astonishment.

Back in the Fog Mountain Prison, they vividly remembered the prisoner's martial arts skills, which were also the focus of their research. After all, the prisoner used his mechanical body to unleash such terrifying power with just his physical strength. It was unimaginable how strong he would be if he used his internal force.

They even suspected that the sword strike might be a transcendent-level martial skill, but after studying it for so long, they didn't gain much insight.

It's unbelievable that the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy have actually achieved such results.

You should know that she invested a great deal of resources in researching that sword technique. The amount of resources she invested would make even a city lord feel the pinch. In fact, she even prepared several healing treasures that could bring the dying back to life so that she could practice that sword technique.

However, her practice failed to reproduce that sword strike; a host of problems arose. Even if she practiced dozens of times, she still wouldn't be able to master it. "Senior Sister," Precia suddenly asked, "do you think Master Lin would be willing to teach us if we were willing to put in enough training?"

"Should we have Master Lin teach us?" Xie Feina couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Such transcendent-level martial arts techniques are treasured even in the domain city, and only elders of the city are qualified to learn them. It is hard to imagine that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy would teach such transcendent-level martial arts techniques.

After all, once you've learned a martial art, you can teach it to others, which means you've lost one of your trump cards.

However, while Shefina was deep in thought, the entire Obsidian Martial Arts School launched a counterattack. All the disciples in the town were chasing after the scattered members of Earth Star Pharmaceuticals' Bone Forging Realm and the people of Smiling Skull. It wasn't until most of the Bone Forging Realm experts brought by Earth Star Pharmaceuticals were killed that the entire Crimson Moon Town returned to peace. The major forces in Crimson Moon Town did not make any unusual moves, but simply watched the members of the Obsidian Martial Arts School act quietly.

Although some forces wanted to take the opportunity to kill Luo Wushang and Ye Qinglu in order to suppress the Obsidian Martial Arts School, they gave up their plans to make a move after seeing Lin Qi kill the half-dead Beast Karad and others without hesitation.

A force that shows no mercy to Earth Star Pharmaceuticals would be in deep trouble if it killed two disciples of Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. Especially Lin Qi, although he looked a little pale, no one could guarantee that Lin Qi did not have the means to kill another high-level Blood Condensation Realm martial artist.

"The Obsidian Martial Arts School is really ruthless. Not only did they not spare the people from Earth Star Pharmaceuticals, but they also killed a mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm expert from the Smiling Skull side. If both sides find out about this, they will probably be furious." Tie Mu looked at the Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples cleaning up the battlefield and sighed.

After the battle in Red Moon Town, the name of Obsidian Martial Arts Academy will not only resound throughout the Mist Mountain region, but will likely be known to the other four regions soon as well.

After all, in the Four Domains, both Earth Star Pharmaceuticals and Smiling Skull are top-tier forces. Apart from the domain cities of the Four Domains, few forces can rival these two major powers.

The Obsidian Martial Arts School offended two people at once. Even he, the commander of the five legions of Black Steel Heavy Industry, wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

Just as Tie Mu was sighing, a young human suddenly stepped forward.

"My lord, the people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy have informed us that the auction will proceed as scheduled, and we can enter the venue now," said the human genius youth from Black Steel Heavy Industry, sounding slightly excited.

"Are they really selling them?" Tie Mu asked, slightly surprised.

In his view, this auction was just a grand show put on by the Obsidian Martial Arts School. The auction itself wasn't the main point; the real purpose was to establish their authority over the various powerful forces.

As for the guard robots in the Fog Mountain Prison, they represent the foundation of a powerful faction. They would be too busy keeping them for their own research to sell them off out of necessity due to insufficient strength.

Now that Obsidian Martial Arts School has proven itself to all the major powers, there's no need to sell those guard robots anymore.

"My lord, this is what the people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy said," the human genius youth explained. "However, because there are too many people, everyone who wants to participate in the auction must pay one hundred energy crystals."

“One hundred energy crystals per person, this Pavilion Master Lin certainly knows how to make money.” Tie Mu smiled, not particularly concerned. “Alright, notify the others, let’s go in and take a look together.”

One hundred energy crystals per person is indeed a large sum of money for an ordinary Bone Forging Realm martial artist, but for the people of Black Steel Heavy Industry, it's just the cost of a dozen meals.

However, after the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy announced that it would continue to hold the auction, many of the participating forces also denounced the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy for not holding an auction, but simply for highway robbery.

A force typically brings dozens, or even hundreds, of people. If each person receives 100 energy crystals, that's over 10,000 energy crystals, which is faster than snatching them.

In fact, it wasn't just the major powers that were surprised by the high price of the auction; even Wu Zhuoqun, who had sent people to inform the major powers, felt that the owner, Lin Qi, was planning to take the opportunity to rip off his customers.

One hundred energy crystals would be enough to satisfy his cultivation resources for almost half a year.

“Uncle, let’s not go in this time. One hundred energy crystals per person is too expensive. One hundred energy crystals can cultivate one or two geniuses in Cangyi City to enter the Bone Forging Realm and have a chance to enter the genius camp of Cangyi City.” A middle-aged man of the Long-Eared Clan at the high level of Bone Forging Realm said with great reluctance.

"Since we're already here, of course we should go in and take a look. If we can exchange our treasured Blood Condensation Realm training methods for something the guarding robot can research, our Long-Eared Clan might just become one of the six strongest clans in Azurewing City." An elder of the Long-Eared Clan, whose strength had reached the initial stage of the Blood Condensation Realm, was reluctant to leave, but his words were full of determination.

The Long-Eared Clan has lived in Azurewing City for many years. After finally producing a Blood Condensation Realm expert like him, no one else has emerged. This is partly due to the incomplete training methods obtained from the ruins, but the bigger problem is the clan's insufficient strength and the scarcity of resources they can acquire.

In the Mist Mountain Prison, where martial arts techniques abound, one can exchange a guard robot for a training method at the Blood Coagulation Realm or above. Even if all one gets in the end is some combat data, it is still the hope for the rise of the clan.

The middle-aged man from the long-eared tribe reluctantly agreed and paid two hundred energy crystals before entering the auction hall.

At the same time, many ethnic groups in the cities also took a chance and paid energy crystals to enter the venue, hoping that their training methods would be noticed by the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. After all, this auction was more like a trade fair than an auction. As long as the seller thought it was worth it, the transaction would naturally take place. After all, the training methods above the Blood Condensation Realm in the Four Domains were all at a similar level. The difference was only between the initial and intermediate stages.

"What is Master Lin thinking? Is he really planning to exchange the guard robot for a bunch of beginner and intermediate Blood Condensation Realm training methods?" Hu Lei looked at the guard robot displayed in the venue and was also full of surprise. He did not expect that Obsidian Martial Arts Academy would actually sell guard robots.

While there may be issues of whether a training method is suitable for an individual, these are minor problems. Even if a training method is not very suitable, the cultivation speed may be slower and breakthroughs may be more difficult, but the final effect is the same. The most important thing is the level of the training method.

Even if there are only a few hundred or a thousand beginner and intermediate training methods, they are not as good as one advanced training method. The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy changed its training method directly, which is simply like being a fool. I don't understand what the point of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy doing this is.

As the various factions entering the venue discussed the matter, Lin Qi also went up to the stage to preside over the auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Crimson Moon Auction." Lin Qi looked around and, seeing that all the expected forces had arrived, said with satisfaction, "In addition to the Guardian Robots, our Obsidian Martial Arts Academy will also be auctioning Guardian Robots and some special items on a long-term basis. This auction will also be auctioning off advanced training slots for our Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. These slots will grant you the treatment of a core disciple and allow you to learn all the martial arts techniques available to core disciples within our academy. However, the currency for these advanced training slots is energy crystals. The starting price is five thousand energy crystals, and each bid must be at least one hundred energy crystals higher."

"Wait! Master Lin, after obtaining a spot for further study, can we also learn the martial arts techniques used by those gray-robed disciples before?" Xie Feina, sitting in the front row of the hall, couldn't help but ask.

"Of course." Lin Qi nodded without the slightest hesitation.

As soon as Lin Qi finished speaking, the entire auction hall erupted in cheers!
