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

Chapter 306: Of course, we should give her a quick death.
"I'm in! I'm in! A month of continuous physical training and honing my digging skills has definitely paid off!"

"Is this what it's like in a game? The senses are absolutely amazing!"

"I'm a newbie who's already mastered Stonebreaker, Shadow Step, and Basic Visualization Technique. Looking for a defensive team to join me!"

……

The sudden appearance of thousands of players in the underground hall of the branch instantly turned the quiet hall into a bustling scene. Even Fang Zhen and his group, who often came to recruit new members, were shocked by what they saw.

Previously, only about a hundred new players would appear each day, and there weren't enough to go around. Now, there are over four thousand new players coming in, making it impossible to choose.

"It really feels like a game when there are more players." Looking at the bustling underground hall, Lin Qi couldn't help but recall the scenes of playing other virtual games in the past.

In any slightly popular virtual game, there are more players than monsters when you enter the game. Although it's not quite that exaggerated right now, it's already starting to resemble other virtual games.

These players will also become the capital for the rapid expansion of Obsidian Martial Arts School.

Lin Qi then encouraged the newcomers with his pre-planned words, urging them to contribute more to the development of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, and then distributed a copy of the first level of the Amazing Divine Training Method to everyone.

After letting everyone cultivate on their own, Lin Qi left the underground hall, handing all the newcomers over to the veteran players.

"Tianwei is recruiting. If you want to sign up, come to me. As long as you pass the assessment, you can join. Afterwards, we will give you a smart watch and newbie equipment to help you get through the novice period as soon as possible and reach the realm of martial artists." Zhang Qingwei looked at the many bewildered newcomers and began recruiting.

"The Machine God Guardian Corps is recruiting. You can receive the best training in the Machine God Guardian Corps. There are limited spots in the corps. As long as your basic visualization skills reach more than 50% of the beginner level, you can join. First come, first served. Once you become a martial artist, you can go to high-level maps with the team to explore." Fang Zhen shouted loudly.

……

As one garrison after another recruited, more and more players signed up, and in the crowd, a lean young man was surrounded by more than a hundred people.

"Boss Xingkuang, there are 336 of us in the game this time. What should we do next?" A bald man in his thirties reported respectfully.

"Only a little over three hundred people got in?" Xing Kuang frowned slightly. One hundred thousand people had registered for the game, but only a little over three hundred people actually got in. The arrival of high-level martial arts was even more popular than he had expected. Fortunately, those who were able to get in were all experts from the legions. He then instructed, "Let's earn points and contribution points first to prepare for the job change later."

"Boss Xingkuang, I've read some game guides before. If a newbie wants to level up quickly, they should start by mining. Mining not only trains basic martial arts skills but also earns a lot of points and contribution points. Once you've accumulated enough strength and funds to become a quasi-martial artist and master the Thunder Palm technique from the martial arts school, you can buy an electromagnetic gun and go to the wilderness to grind monsters. You can then exchange those monsters for points and contribution points at the martial arts school, which will quickly accumulate enough for your class advancement," the bald man explained in detail.

"Let's skip mining. There are plenty of us. Let's just go out and hunt monsters in the wild." Xing Kuang thought for a moment and had everyone use the points given to newbies in the game to buy some food and water. They then took the alloy shovels given to them by the martial arts school and went out to find monsters in the wild, skipping the mining step.

After entering the game "High Martial Arts Descends", he could clearly feel that the game was indeed extraordinary. His five senses were almost indistinguishable from reality, and there was no sense of lag like in other virtual games. It was as if he was in reality.

In his view, this was a huge advantage for them.

As members of the conglomerate's elite Starry Sky Mech Corps, each one is an excellent warrior. Not to mention those who entered the High Martial Arts Descent this time, they are all top-notch elites with rich combat experience, especially against monsters.

They had killed countless terrifying monsters on that planet, but in this almost realistic game world, the monsters designed by the game developers were no match for those terrifying monsters. With everyone working together, killing them was incredibly easy.

"Who are these newcomers? They're so fierce, going straight into the wild to hunt?" Yi Ye Fu Yun couldn't help but take a few more glances at Xing Kuang and the others as they left.

The performance of Xing Kuang and others can be described as quite professional. Ordinary players go into the wild with nothing but weapons, but in the realistic situation of High Martial Arts Descent, the exploration of the wild takes a long time. If they do not prepare food and water, they will soon become food for wild monsters due to hunger and thirst.

He didn't know this when he first went into the wild, which led to the entire team being wiped out during their exploration.

"Brother Yiye, can we go?" Can Dao Ruxue, who had entered the High Martial Arts Descent, also had a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

Before entering the game "High Martial Arts Descent", she originally thought that "High Martial Arts Descent" should be similar to "Eternal Immortal Path", or even slightly inferior. After all, "Eternal Immortal Path" is the latest pinnacle of domestic games, which is not something that other virtual games can touch.

But when she entered the High Martial Realm, she was truly shocked.

Not only did the feeling of being in a high-level martial arts game feel incredibly real, but even her left hand, which had been severely injured in reality and whose reaction time was always a beat slower in any virtual game, had now completely recovered.

She really wants to experience that feeling of being at her peak right now.

"What other preparations are needed to hunt monsters in the wild?" Thousand Blade Demon, who had also entered the High Martial Descent realm, couldn't help but ask.

After the brief introduction by Yi Ye Fuyun, he still doesn't understand that to quickly improve in the High Martial Arts Descent, a large number of points and contributions are needed. Whether it's exchanging for the martial arts hall's limited-purchase resources each month, using the functions within the martial arts hall, or even exchanging martial arts skills, all of these require a large number of points and contributions.

Although he and Broken Blade Snow joined the garrison formed by One Leaf Floating Cloud, they could receive many benefits from the garrison. One Leaf Floating Cloud even provided them with visualization techniques and powerful martial arts skills. However, if they wanted to accelerate their cultivation, they still needed to hunt in the wild. This was currently the fastest way to earn points and contribution points in the game, apart from events.

“I don’t recommend you go now,” Yi Ye Fuyun explained. “Generally, to go hunting in the wild, you need to become an apprentice and master the Lightning Palm. Of course, having a powerful weapon is even better, so you can easily break through the monster’s flesh and really hurt it before you enter the game. It’s best to train to the apprentice level first before considering anything else.”

After hearing this, Thousand Blade Demon and Broken Blade Snow decided to follow One Leaf Floating Cloud's advice and level up first before going to the wild to grind monsters and make money.

In no time, Thousand Blade Demon and Broken Blade Snow, like most players, began to learn the training method. One Leaf Floating Cloud even rented a beginner training room for the two to learn the first level of the Shocking God Training Method.

However, as the two sat cross-legged on the ground and practiced, they began to feel that something was amiss.

Before the two could react, they couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, their faces immediately turned pale, and their lungs were in excruciating pain.

"What...what's going on?" Can Dao Ru Xue looked at the blood she had vomited on the ground, her face full of question marks.

She followed the instructions for the first level of the Shocking Spirit Training Method step by step, but ended up injuring her lungs, which really puzzled her. Was there a system error in the game? She was training according to the steps in the method, so how could she still get injured?

If her injuries were any more severe, she would have died. But even so, she felt very uncomfortable, and every breath she took was painful.

"This is normal, you'll get used to it." A Floating Cloud, who had been watching over things, stopped examining the new clothes she had just redeemed and said with a smile, "Want me to give you some pointers?"

"Is this normal?" Can Dao Ru Xue didn't doubt it after hearing this, after all, Yi Ye Fu Yun was an experienced person, and then asked, "Brother Yi Ye, do you know how to solve this problem?"

"Mm." A Floating Cloud nodded.

"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Yiye." Can Dao Ru Xue breathed a slight sigh of relief. If this problem wasn't solved, her cultivation speed would undoubtedly drop significantly. Fortunately, she had the guidance of an experienced player, which would save her from many detours.

At this moment, the Thousand-Blade Demon also looked at One Leaf Floating Cloud with some curiosity, wondering how One Leaf Floating Cloud would solve this cultivation problem.

All that could be seen was Yi Ye Fuyun, who was sitting cross-legged, simply patting the forehead of the man with the broken sword as white as snow with one hand.

boom!
Instantly, Broken Blade's head exploded like a watermelon, turning him into a headless corpse, which collapsed directly in the training room.

"what you do?!"

The Thousand-Blade Demon stared in disbelief at the shattered, snow-white blade.

As a veteran player who has even reached the third level of the Refinement Technique, the Bone Forging Realm expert, solving the problem of the first level of the Refinement Technique should be a piece of cake for Yi Ye Fuyun.

It's one thing for Yiye Fuyun not to offer any guidance, but instead, he directly smashed the head of Candao Ruxue. What does that mean?
"Of course, I'll give her a quick death." A Leaf of Clouds looked at the extremely agitated Thousand-Blade Demon, not understanding what was causing his excitement, but still patiently explained, "There are no shortcuts to learning this training method. Only through constant trial and error and continuous practice can you improve. She's already severely injured, and recovery will take too long. There aren't enough Type 1 healing potions. Dying and starting over is the simplest method. My palm strike is fast, accurate, and ruthless; I guarantee she won't feel a thing." "Is this how you train in this game?" Thousand-Blade Demon looked at the headless, broken sword, feeling his worldview challenged.

He had seen other virtual games where players could level up faster by spending money, but as a veteran of the guild, this was the first time he had ever seen a game where training was done in this way.

"Brother Qianren, do you need my help?" Yiye Fuyun asked, looking at Qianren Evil Ghost, whose face had become even paler.

"This..." The Thousand-Blade Demon looked at the smiling Leaf of Clouds and hesitated.

Although he understood that this was indeed a quick way to improve his skills, he doubted whether the game's training methods were really done this way.

But before Thousand Blade Demon could finish speaking, it found itself logged out of the game...

"I'm dead already?" The Thousand-Blade Demon stared at the screen of the game pod, unable to recover for a long time, his heart filled with indescribable shock.

Although they had known for a long time that Yi Ye Fuyun was no ordinary person, they did not expect the difference in strength between them to be so great.

When Yi Ye Fuyun's head exploded and his broken knife shards fell like snow, he was already extremely wary of Yi Ye Fuyun.

Even when he was asking questions, his mind was highly focused. He was confident that he could detect the raid leader's sneak attack immediately, even if the two were of vastly different levels. This was because the game was a limitation that would not improve his reflexes, even for a max-level player.

But in front of a floating cloud, he died before he could even react; his nerves reacted incredibly quickly.

If he had that kind of reaction speed, he would be confident of defeating not only the leader, but also the most recognized figures in the virtual gaming world.

Outside the town of Red Moon on the other side, there is a quiet, withered forest.

"how so!"

"Is this monster really meant for newbies?"

Xing Kuang stared intently at his companions, who were being repeatedly killed by the crocodile-toothed rhinoceros, his eyes filled with disbelief.

More than 300 people attacked a monster outside a beginner town, but they were completely defeated by the monster. Many of those who were killed were killed before they even had a chance to react. It was simply unbelievable.

Although he didn't play many virtual games, he knew that the monsters outside the starting town were there for beginners.

But the Crocodile Tooth Rhino is tough and strong, which is one thing, but what's with its nerve reaction speed being faster than these players?

Even if monsters in other games are strong, they are only strong in terms of attributes, but their reaction speed is far worse than that of players. It is precisely because of this that players have the opportunity to defeat stronger opponents.

But the Crocodile Tooth Rhino is completely different; it surpasses everything else. For novice players, encountering it is a death sentence.

"Could this be a special boss?"

Looking at his team, which had lost more than 90% of its members, Xing Kuang felt that the Crocodile Tooth Rhinoceros in front of him was very likely the world boss of the game "High Martial Arts Descends". Otherwise, there was no way to explain such a terrifying speed of nerve reaction.

More than 300 combat experts!

In other games, they could defeat even the bosses in the starting village. After all, these people are born with strong minds, not only with extremely strong control over their bodies, but also with nerve reaction speeds that ordinary people simply cannot match.

But against the crocodile-toothed rhinoceros, their reaction speed is a joke; once the crocodile-toothed rhinoceros makes a move, they are doomed.

Aside from the possibility of a special BOSS, he couldn't think of any other possibility.

With over three hundred soldiers dead, the Crocodile Tooth Rhinoceros charged at Xing Kuang. Knowing he couldn't dodge, Xing Kuang was about to clash head-on with the Crocodile Tooth Rhinoceros when a figure wielding a spear suddenly appeared, grabbed Xing Kuang's arm, and pulled him away from the Crocodile Tooth Rhinoceros's impact at the last second.

"You dodged it?" Xing Kuang looked at the figure in front of him with great surprise.

This was a young man who was 1.8 meters tall, at most in his early twenties, wearing silver-gray player clothing, with a somewhat dull face. Moreover, he gave the impression of being far weaker than those martial arts players. According to the game's level classification, he was at most at the advanced apprentice level.

But this highly skilled apprentice easily pulled him away from the crocodile-toothed rhinoceros's attack, his nerve reaction speed was incredibly fast.

"Brother, can we have this low-level monster?" The dull-looking young man looked at Xing Kuang and asked awkwardly, "Our team has been searching outside for most of the day and hasn't found one. If we don't get one today, we'll probably have to go mining to pay off our debts."

"Are you sure you want to deal with this monster?" Xing Kuang glanced at the five young men and women behind the dull-looking youth and found that they were generally in their early twenties. Like the dull-looking youth, they did not have the sharpness of someone who had been through many battles and were obviously just a group of ordinary people.

"Why waste words with Hanxiong? Their entire team is dead. This isn't stealing monsters. If we don't finish this quickly, other teams will arrive!" a young man wielding a battle sword shouted anxiously.

Without waiting for the taciturn young man's response, the other five members of the team surrounded and attacked the Crocodile-Toothed Rhinoceros.

"Are they crazy to just charge straight at us?"

Xing Kuang looked at the five young men and women who took the initiative to fight back and was very puzzled by it.

The Crocodile-Toothed Rhinoceros possesses immense strength, far beyond the capabilities of advanced apprentices. A direct confrontation would be suicidal, much like how their legion dealt with those planetary monsters. With the coordinated efforts of their space mechs, they would find opportunities to attack blind spots. In a head-on battle, even the space mechs wouldn't withstand many blows.

However, before Xing Kuang could finish speaking, the young man holding the battle sword clenched his fist and punched the charging crocodile-toothed rhinoceros.

boom!
The crocodile-toothed rhinoceros stopped abruptly, as if it had crashed into a rock wall, remaining motionless.

Immediately afterward, the young man wielding the sword slashed down, causing the crocodile-toothed rhinoceros to splatter blood with a single blow. However, this had little effect on the rhinoceros, which turned to try and escape. But the remaining four young men and women gave it no chance, each throwing a punch after the other. The power of each punch not only rendered the rhinoceros immobile for a moment, but the five of them also continued to deliver finishing blows.

Just as the crocodile-toothed rhinoceros was about to charge, the five reacted even faster, shifting their feet to easily dodge the rhinoceros's attack, and then unleashed a barrage of attacks.

In less than a minute, the crocodile-toothed rhinoceros, riddled with hundreds of wounds, collapsed to the ground, utterly dead.

"died?"

"What technique was used?"

Xing Kuang was stunned by what he saw.

Despite being surrounded by over three hundred experts, the Crocodile-Toothed Rhinoceros remained unscathed. However, it was killed by five young men and women. In particular, these five young men and women, despite being clearly inferior to the Crocodile-Toothed Rhinoceros in both speed and strength, somehow managed to fight it to a standstill with the Crocodile-Toothed Rhinoceros using some unknown method. It was simply unbelievable.

After entering the game, he could already feel how realistic it was. In such a realistic battle, he couldn't understand how the five young men and women could increase their strength and speed so much. It was simply a divine skill.

If their troops can learn this skill, then dealing with those monsters on that planet again in the future will undoubtedly be much easier.

"What technique?" Han Xiong asked curiously, looking at the shocked Xing Kuang. "Brother, didn't you learn the Crushing Stone Fist and Leopard Shadow Step at the martial arts school?"
