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

Chapter 309 Where My Blade Points, Dawn Will Break!

Red Moon Town, top floor of Obsidian Building.

One after another, flying transport vehicles made of B6-grade alloy slowly landed on the rooftop. Wu Zhuoqun, who had been waiting for a long time, directed hundreds of disciples from the martial arts school's guard regiment to carry large boxes onto the vehicles.

"Captain Wu, is it really okay for us to just sell these electromagnetic guns to various cities like this?" Lin Yan looked at the boxes containing the electromagnetic guns with a hint of worry. "These electromagnetic guns require learning the Lightning Palm technique to use. If we sell these electromagnetic guns, it's like we also have to teach the Lightning Palm technique. Once people in major cities learn the Lightning Palm technique, it's like everyone can learn it. These electromagnetic guns are simple to make and easy to imitate. At that time, I'm afraid no one in these major cities will buy the electromagnetic guns we manufacture."

The electromagnetic gun can be considered a trump card in the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, enabling martial artists to fight beyond their level. Even a group of martial artists wielding the electromagnetic gun has the potential to kill a Bone Forging Realm expert, making it an absolute weapon of mass destruction.

Such a weapon has always been used and learned only by gray-robed disciples and members of the martial arts school's garrison.

Selling this trump card now will certainly have a serious impact on the Red Moon Merchant Guild, but it also makes the Obsidian Martial Arts School completely lose a trump card. In the future, when facing other forces, they will have to be wary of the electromagnetic gun.

If this transaction was merely to deal with the Red Moon Merchant Guild, it seems like a bad deal no matter how you look at it.

"Lin Yan, you underestimate the master too much. The master is playing a long game." Wu Zhuoqun looked at the worried Lin Yan and couldn't help but laugh. "This electromagnetic gun used to be a major trump card for the martial arts school, but now it's just ordinary for the school. Even if a Bone Forging Realm expert uses the electromagnetic gun made of C-grade alloy, it can only injure the Bone Forging Realm expert and gain a certain advantage. Even if outsiders have complete control, this is the limit."

"Do you think our martial arts school would be afraid of these Bone Forging Realm martial artists? As for those who have learned the Thunder Palm technique, passing it on in private, that's probably the result the school master wants."

"What result does the curator want?" Lin Yan asked, puzzled. "What benefits would that bring?"

Although the Lightning Palm is just a very ordinary martial art, it was previously only possessed by the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, and others could not learn it even if they wanted to. As a result, the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's garrison could suppress Bone Forging Realm martial artists with their electromagnetic guns. If they were to face off against people from other forces, they would have a great advantage.

If all the major powers learn this, the Obsidian Martial Arts School's advantage will be gone. It can be said that apart from making a fortune in the early stages and retaliating against the Red Moon Merchant Guild, there will be no further benefits.

"That's what makes the master so amazing," Wu Zhuoqun said with great admiration. "Although the Lightning Palm is the core of the Electromagnetic Gun, it is only a basic martial art of the martial arts school. There are many powerful martial arts techniques based on the Lightning Palm in the martial arts school, and there are even quite a few extraordinary martial arts techniques."

"If people from various forces have tasted the sweetness of using the Thunder Palm to fight beyond their level, they will need to master even more powerful advanced martial arts techniques if they want to fight beyond their level again after becoming stronger. However, those advanced martial arts techniques of the Thunder Palm can only be learned by joining a martial arts school."

"This time, the martial arts school may seem to be at a disadvantage by selling electromagnetic guns to various cities, but in reality, he is poaching talents from major forces. Moreover, these talents are all skilled martial artists. Ordinary martial artists are not strong enough and have no need for the advanced martial arts technique of Thunder Palm. Selling these electromagnetic guns to various cities can be seen as the first step for the martial arts school to absorb the talents of various cities. Striking the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce is just a side effect."

As Wu Zhuoqun finished speaking, Lin Yan couldn't help but gasp. She hadn't expected that the guild master Lin Qi was selling the electromagnetic gun not to deal with the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce, but to completely disrupt the pattern of the Fog Mountain region and absorb the talents of the entire Fog Mountain region for his own use. This was simply defying the heavens.

"Alright, the goods have been moved, let's get to work."

After Wu Zhuoqun finished moving the boxes, he led Lin Yan and the others in a flying transport vehicle and left Chiyue Town, heading directly to various cities.

Obsidian Branch.

Inside the intermediate gravity chamber, Lin Qi sat cross-legged, his fingers constantly clicking on the system player list, extracting the training methods of each player.

After the administrator's authority was upgraded to level three, the authority to select the best candidates was also upgraded.

Now, he can issue tasks without a smartwatch, directly through the system to announce to all online players. No matter where the players are, they can receive the message. It's like he can issue tasks to all players anytime, anywhere, but there is a limit of three times a day.

In addition, the number of times players can extract items per day has been increased from ten to fifteen, which alleviates the problem of too many training methods and martial arts skills needing to be extracted and slow progress to some extent.

As Lin Qi finished clicking the final extraction button, a flood of memories rushed into his mind, and Lin Qi felt refreshed.

"Finally, the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique has been completed!"

"Next, I just need to spend some time in the intermediate gravity chamber to allow my body to reach the second level of perfection."

Lin Qi was overjoyed when he saw the system notification, and he was curious about what the effects would be if the Body Strengthening Secret Technique reached the second level of perfection.

Previously, when he was a martial artist, he had reached the first level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique. His physical resilience was terrifying, completely comparable to that of high-level monsters. His recovery ability was even better than that of high-level monsters. Moreover, his physical attributes were improved in all aspects, by 30% in one go.

Now that he has reached the perfect level of proficiency in the second stage of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, if his physical resilience can reach the level of a high-level lord, and with the impact reduction from the top-tier second-tier battle armor, he might be able to withstand the attacks of a high-level Blood Condensation Realm martial artist, comparable to those calamity-level monsters, and no longer have to rely solely on super-limit-level martial arts to fight desperately against high-level Blood Condensation Realm martial artists.

Just as Lin Qi was preparing to cultivate the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, the system notification sounded once again.

System: Congratulations, host, the three training methods have been categorized and optimized.

System: According to the classification and optimization of the forty-two training methods, the three super-level bone forging realm secret techniques cultivated by the host have been merged and optimized into three high-level celestial realm secret techniques. Do you want to receive them now?
"Three high-level Celestial Realm secret techniques?" Lin Qi was taken aback when he saw the system notification, then said, "Accept them all!"

According to his estimate, the forty-two training methods he collected, including half of the Blood Coagulation Realm training method obtained from the guarding robot, would be a huge profit if they could be fused and optimized into a super-level Blood Coagulation Realm training method. After all, the training methods he obtained were all at the initial and intermediate levels, and the Celestial Realm training methods were all at the initial level and incomplete versions.

Unexpectedly, the system was so powerful that it directly upgraded three super-level bone forging realm secret techniques into three high-level celestial realm secret techniques. Such training methods are probably not found in the entire Mist Mountain region, or even the Four Domains.

However, secret techniques are different from simple training methods. They have matching martial arts techniques that are most suitable for use with training methods, and they also make the training methods more effective.

The advanced Celestial Realm secret techniques are no less effective than those advanced Celestial Realm training methods. They are absolutely the top training methods in the Celestial Realm. Once you reach the Celestial Realm, you will be invincible among your peers in the Celestial Realm.

After Lin Qi waited for a moment, a terrifying, tsunami-like flood of memories rushed into his brain, lasting for several minutes before fading away. Lin Qi's face was deathly pale, and blood gushed from his seven orifices.

Fortunately, having mastered the first level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, Lin Qi possessed extraordinary recovery abilities, and within just a few seconds, his complexion returned to normal.

"So powerful! These three training methods are simply heaven-defying!" Lin Qi looked at the information in his mind, feeling an indescribable shock.

After being integrated and optimized, the three training methods have been significantly improved even at the Bone Forging Realm.

For example, the Reverse Star Hand and Reverse Star Step that the original Reverse Star Triple learned in the Bone Forging Realm were only super-level martial arts. Now, they have been directly upgraded to high-level extraordinary martial arts. With the right training method, the power they can unleash can reach the limit of extraordinary martial arts.

Once the three training methods are mastered to the Blood Coagulation Realm, these accompanying martial arts techniques can be cultivated to the second level. The second level of martial arts techniques directly reaches the ultimate extraordinary level. With the training methods in place, their power can approach that of the super-limit level martial arts techniques.

As for advancing to the Celestial Realm, one can cultivate the third level of supporting martial arts techniques, and the level of these techniques is beyond the limit. With the right training method, their power is close to that of high-level beyond-limit martial arts techniques.

However, what's even more amazing about these three training methods is that they reduce the difficulty of learning and practicing them.

If the previous training method was so difficult to learn that it was beyond the Bone Forging Realm, very few people could learn it without high comprehension or a lot of trial and error. The geniuses of the martial arts school's guard team were able to cultivate it because they relied on the meditation room; otherwise, very few people could have mastered it.

However, based on his current assessment, the learning and cultivation difficulty of these three training methods has dropped from the super-level to the high-level, and the learning difficulty should be similar to that of normal high-level training methods for the Blood Condensation Realm.

Even disciples of the martial arts school's garrison could master such a difficult technique if they used the meditation room. This would undoubtedly allow more martial arts school disciples to learn these three training methods, and even increase the chances of producing Blood Condensation Realm and Celestial Realm cultivators.

For this reason alone, such a training method would be sought after by countless forces. After all, geniuses are too few, and a force cannot develop by relying on one or two strong individuals. Lowering the learning difficulty of the training method will undoubtedly allow a force to produce more strong individuals.

"These three training methods are worth trying out for some members of the garrison. If anyone succeeds, we can use those giant sausages and bananas to nurture them properly. Perhaps they can even reach the Celestial Realm in the future." Lin Qi looked at the three training methods and felt that this was a good opportunity to cultivate local disciples. Previously, he was unwilling to spend too many resources on training them because the geniuses selected from the garrison were just ordinary geniuses. Even with the assistance of the martial arts school's functional buildings, many of them would only achieve the Blood Condensation Realm in their lifetime, although such an achievement was already quite remarkable in the Four Domains.

But that would take them a lifetime. In other words, even with ample resources, these people might only reach the Blood Condensation Realm in their fifties, sixties, or even seventies or eighties. Such people would be of no use to him, let alone the cultivation of the Blood Condensation Realm, which requires energy blood essence.

Players will likely struggle to even get enough energy and blood essence, let alone local disciples.

However, it would be different if the local disciples had the opportunity to advance to the Celestial Realm. With the full support of his resources, their advancement speed would definitely be comparable to that of the players, and they might even advance to the Celestial Realm before him.

As a peak-level expert in a region and a local disciple, the Celestial Realm expert can do a lot of things for him. For example, many things at the martial arts school now, as well as negotiations with other forces, all rely on Wu Zhuoqun and others.

With that in mind, Lin Qi also left the intermediate gravity chamber, intending to quickly organize the three training methods.

While Lin Qi was frantically organizing the three training methods, Wu Zhuoqun led Lin Yan and the others to the top floor of the Light Chasing Building in Light Chasing City, which was also the place where City Lord Di Luoya usually worked.

"Lord, Wu Zhuoqun and others from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy wish to see you. They say they want to make a deal with you on behalf of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy," a three-eyed youth wearing second-tier armor and whose strength had reached the mid-stage of the Bone Forging Realm said respectfully.

"Does the Obsidian Martial Arts School want to make a deal with me?" Diroya asked, somewhat surprised.

The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is currently one of the top three in the Misty Mountain region. It also offers advanced training slots, giving everyone the opportunity to learn super-limit level martial arts. It is currently enjoying great popularity in the Misty Mountain region. City lords from various cities are too busy currying favor with it. It is hard to imagine that they would take the initiative to come and do business with a city lord who is only at the initial stage of the Blood Condensation Realm.

"Could it be something to do with the Smiling Skull?"

Diroya couldn't help but think of a message he had just received: the Smiling Skull was furious and had directly dispatched four of the Seven Guardians to assemble an army to wipe out all the Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples in the Dead Mountain Range. Although he didn't know who had released this message, the information he had gathered from the Domain City confirmed that it was indeed true.

Even the Smiling Skull's annihilation of the Obsidian Martial Arts School in the Dead Mountain Range was just the first step; they will also take action against the Obsidian Martial Arts School in the Fog Mountain area, which is very dangerous for the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

"Lord of the City, shall we let them in?" the three-eyed youth asked quietly.

"Let them come over." Di Luoya thought for a moment and decided to meet with Wu Zhuoqun.

A short while later, the three-eyed youth led Wu Zhuoqun and Lin Yan into the house.

Looking at Wu Zhuoqun and Lin Yan, who used to belong to the city garrison, Di Luoya felt a little sad. The two, who were originally just high-level martial artists, have now not only stepped into the Bone Forging Realm, but have also become core members of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. They can be considered Lin Qi's confidants, and their status is no less than that of him, the city lord.

"You're contacting me at this time, Master Lin, could it be that you want my help to deal with the Smiling Skull?" Diroya said with a smile. "That's no problem. After all, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy originated from our City of Light, and Master Lin has helped me a lot. I can help the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy once if I can. However, I also want a spot for further training."

With the Smiling Skeleton Army pressing in, if the Obsidian Martial Arts School cannot hold out in the Dead Mountain Range, all members of the Obsidian Martial Arts School in the Fog Mountain area will be attacked, which is definitely an outcome that the Obsidian Martial Arts School does not want.

Since Bone Forging Realm warriors couldn't play much of a role, Lin Qi figured he could only find some Blood Condensation Realm experts to go to the Dead Mountain Range to help in the battle.

“Lord Diroya has misunderstood.” Wu Zhuoqun shook his head and said respectfully, “I am here today on the orders of the Master to make a deal with Lord Diroya.”

"A deal? What kind of deal?" Di Luoya looked at Wu Zhuoqun curiously, wondering what else he had that could attract the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

“Our martial arts school plans to sell a batch of weapons to the entire City of Light. With these weapons, we can definitely boost the overall strength of the City of Light by a lot, and even solve the monster tide in the wilderness.” Wu Zhuoqun smiled and took out a super electromagnetic gun made of B6 grade alloy from his waistband. “And this is the weapon we are going to sell.”

"A pistol?" Diroya looked at the electromagnetic gun, which resembled a pistol, and asked, full of confusion, "Are you sure this thing can deal with monsters?"

While firearms exist in cities, bullets simply cannot penetrate the muscles of monsters. Although it's not impossible to do so with high-grade alloys, it would be a waste to make bullets from those high-grade alloys. Moreover, because the kinetic energy provided by gunpowder is too small, it can only deal with monsters below the high rank at most, making it far less cost-effective than making them into melee weapons.

Therefore, the handguns in the city are only used to maintain order among ordinary people. Using them to deal with martial artists or monsters is simply a pipe dream.

“This is indeed a gun, but it’s not an ordinary gun,” Wu Zhuoqun explained. “It’s an electromagnetic gun. With the help of special martial arts techniques, this gun can easily pierce through the flesh and blood of high-level monsters, and even lord-level monsters are no problem. And the user only needs to be a martial artist.”

"Are you telling the truth?" Di Luoya immediately stood up, a hint of surprise and excitement in his eyes. His blood and qi involuntarily emanated from his body, greatly increasing the pressure in the room.

If it were true that warriors could use weapons to injure lord monsters, it could absolutely change the fate of a city. It wouldn't be impossible for them to even lead the warriors in the city to launch a proactive attack on the monster's lair.

"If the city lord doesn't believe it, he can test its power with a second-tier battle armor." Wu Zhuoqun nodded.

“Alright, Vako, you give it a try.” Diroya looked at the three-eyed youth wearing second-tier armor standing to the side.

"Yes!"

The young man named Wako responded respectfully, then stepped in front of Wu Zhuoqun with a slight smile on his lips, as if to say that he could begin, showing no concern whatsoever for the experiment.

Second-tier armor is the standard armor for warriors in the Bone Forging Realm, and it is usually made of C2-grade alloy. However, his second-tier armor is different; it is made of a higher-grade C4-grade alloy, making it much harder than that of a lord-level monster.

The city lord sent him to test Wu Zhuoqun, probably because he thought Wu Zhuoqun was bragging and wanted to play a trick on him.

Before Vak could say anything more, a scorching white light flashed from the gun in Wu Zhuoqun's hand.

One... two... three...

Bang bang bang!
Three white lights flashed in succession. Wako, who was less than two meters away, didn't even have time to react. He was sent flying back several steps and crashed heavily into the wall, completely stunned.

Three dents appeared on Vako's Tier 2 armor, the deepest of which was more than a centimeter deep. Although it was still some distance from being pierced, it made Diroya, who had been watching, gasp.

The Tier 2 armor made of C4 alloy could actually be dented. It would be no problem to attack a lord monster or even a high-level lord monster.

Such a weapon can be used by any martial artist; it's hard to believe such a thing if it were told to others.

"Lord Diloya, what do you think?" Wu Zhuoqun asked with a smile.

Lin Yan, standing to the side, looked at Di Luoya, who was still in a daze, and a smile appeared on her lips. She was not surprised at all by this result.

She was all too familiar with Diloya's surprised expression; she had even had the same expression when she first witnessed such terrifying power.

Surprised!

Shocked!

They were even fascinated by it!
Di Luoya took a deep breath, his gaze towards Wu Zhuoqun burning with unprecedented fervor: "Speak! What do you want?"
