The Fourth Calamity: People in High Martial Arts, Gods in Games

Chapter 111 Body Strengthening Secrets

Inside the metal cave, the space was not large, about the size of a classroom.

Lin Qi carefully looked around and found that the interior was severely damaged, with various explosion marks, clearly indicating that it had been deliberately sabotaged. However, what was surprising was the terrifying claw marks left on the metal.

The explosion marks only left some white traces on the metal, but the claw marks were three or four centimeters deep. There was only one claw mark, which must have been caused by some creature scratching it at random.

Looking at the claw mark, Lin Qi couldn't help but glance at the cave outside, his heart filled with vigilance.

Lin Yong had tested this metal with a B2-level weapon; even a full-force strike couldn't leave a mark. Yet, a creature could easily leave a three- or four-centimeter-deep claw mark with a casual grab, as if the metal were made of clay.

I can't even imagine what would happen if such a creature attacked a person.

"I'm probably overthinking it. This claw mark is probably quite old. Otherwise, the White Feather Gang wouldn't have been able to develop here peacefully without any trouble." Lin Qi examined the claw mark more closely and felt that it must have existed before the White Feather Gang discovered it.

If such a terrifying monster truly existed, Crimson Moon Mountain would have long been a forbidden area, and the White Feather Gang would no longer have any designs on it.

Lin Qi took a few deep breaths before continuing to observe the situation inside the metal cave.

"It seems that the Ghanaian man must have gotten the metal plate from here."

Lin Qi looked at the innermost wall and saw three grooves the size of an A4 sheet of paper, which matched the metal plate that Ghana had dropped.

"The White Feather Gang is really strange. They already took the metal plates, so why are they going to all this trouble to try and destroy this place?"

Lin Qi looked around and could tell that the White Feather Gang must have gone to great lengths to use extremely powerful bombs to destroy the metal cave. Even the ground dozens of meters outside the cave entrance was burned white, demonstrating the immense power and temperature of the explosion, far surpassing that of electromagnetic grenades.

It is likely a special bomb designed for high-level monsters. Normally, even B6-grade alloys can be melted into dust, otherwise it would be impossible to leave any white marks on this mysterious metal.

The mysterious metal plate with its own secret magic has already been removed, so the entire room is probably worthless now, and there's no point in destroying it.

Unless the room itself is of great value and cannot be moved, the White Feather Gang is unwilling to let others have it, so they simply destroy the room.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi cut his palm and pressed it directly against the wall.

"really!"

Lin Qi watched as the entire metal wall seemed to come alive, frantically devouring the blood.

In an instant, numerous crimson runes lit up on the metal wall, causing the dense, free-floating energy outside to surge into the room like a tidal wave, filling every corner of the room.

In just a few seconds, Lin Qi felt countless pieces of information imprinted deep into his brain, causing him a splitting headache and making him wish he could faint.

It took about five minutes for my brain to relax before I could access the information stored deep within it.

"What a powerful secret technique!"

After reading the secret techniques passed down on the wall, Lin Qi was nothing but shocked.

The secret technique on the wall is an extremely special technique called the "Body Strengthening Secret Technique." It can modify the structure of cells throughout the body through free energy, making the cells not only more resilient than those of martial artists of the same level, but also greatly enhancing the body's recovery ability, which can be more than ten times that of martial artists of the same level. There are five levels in total.

Unfortunately, whether due to the incomplete inheritance of the wall itself or because the wall was damaged, the Body Strengthening Secret Technique only has two levels, corresponding to the apprentice and martial artist levels.

"No wonder the White Feather Gang wanted to sabotage this. If they mastered it, they would be invincible among their peers." Lin Qi glanced at the many white marks on the wall and somewhat understood the White Feather Gang's thoughts.

All the cells in the body become more resilient, not only making the body stronger, but also increasing the ability to withstand bursts of blood energy. This allows for the use of martial arts techniques more frequently and continuously. In addition, the body's terrifying recovery ability turns fatal wounds into serious injuries, serious injuries into minor injuries, and minor injuries into quick recovery. At the same level, the body is practically unkillable.

Lin Qi felt that the White Feather Gang was doing something unnecessary.

The body-strengthening secrets are very powerful, but they are also extremely difficult to learn. One wrong move and all the cells in your body will collapse, beyond even the help of a miracle worker.

Let alone ordinary people, even martial arts geniuses, if they knew this secret technique, probably very few would have the courage to practice it.

Players are an exception, of course.

Just as Lin Qi was thinking about how to charge players and promote this body-strengthening secret technique, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

System: Congratulations to the player for completing Task 2, "500,000 Online Reservations". The player is rewarded with the right to manufacture resurrection devices and the hidden privileges are upgraded to Level 3.

System: The system has detected that the host's administrator privileges are at level one and cannot enable the level three hidden privileges. Please upgrade the administrator privileges as soon as possible.

"What's going on? Mission two is already complete?"

Lin Qi stared at the system panel, completely bewildered, not understanding what had happened.

The number of reservations I checked yesterday was less than 250,000. It will probably take at least a month to reach the 500,000 mark.

It was completed today, which is incredible.

Lin Qi then opened the official forum of Blue Star in the system bar to see what was going on.

The surge in reservations is outrageous; something must have happened on Earth for it to increase so dramatically.

And just as Lin Qi guessed, a major event did indeed occur on the official forum of Blue Star's game. A post pinned to the top of the forum had been viewed by more than two million people.

The post is titled "The game you absolutely can't miss this year: an epic battleground review, no hype, just the facts!"

The poster was Xiaoyuan Ye Fengkuang.

In the post, Xiaoyuan also gave a detailed introduction to the basic situation and gameplay of High Martial Arts Arrival, as well as the detailed information about Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

For example, what should a newbie do in the early stages, and what are the strategies for earning points in Red Moon Mountain? Which martial arts skills should be learned first, and which martial arts skills need to be focused on improving?

The latest novel is first published here!

Besides the introduction to the Obsidian Martial Arts School, there are detailed introductions to the opposing forces, such as the White Feather Gang, including who the main members are, their strength, and what weapons they use.

The newly added hostile force, the Great Ape Gang, was also introduced. The overall strength of the Great Ape Gang was described in detail, such as the total number of gang members exceeding two thousand, one gang leader and four deputy gang leaders, as well as many known quasi-martial artist level elders, with an estimated number of more than twenty elders. The A6 level battle armor of the Great Ape Gang was also introduced.

The various materials amounted to tens of thousands of words, and the summary was quite thorough, making Lin Qi feel like he really wanted to play with it.

However, what really attracted people to this post was not the game information, but a video that Xiaoyuan also posted like crazy.

The video is over thirty minutes long, from infiltrating the Great Ape Gang's headquarters to the battle between a dozen of them and thousands of members of the Great Ape Gang. The brutality of the battlefield and the realistic and grand scene make the viewer feel both heartbroken and captivated, powerless and excited, just like an epic blockbuster.

This made everyone who watched understand how weak individual strength is on the battlefield. Even the most skilled person cannot face the overwhelming rain of arrows and the constant onslaught of enemies. All they can do is try to minimize the extent of their injuries.

Unlike other virtual games where a higher level can make you invincible, in High Martial Arts, any ordinary person with a weapon can take your life. It's unbelievably realistic.

In the end, Lin Qi's sword strike stunned the entire army, and he killed Glenta, who was wearing A6-level armor, in two moves, leaving many feeling impressed by his coolness.

Previously, the nineteen men faced an army of over a thousand. Their strength and skills were evident to all, far beyond what ordinary people could compare to. Yet, the thousand-strong army, which the nineteen men were helpless against, was stunned by Lin Qi's single sword strike. It was incredibly impressive, making everyone understand what it meant to be a one-man army against a thousand.

"This game's 100% virtuality is no exaggeration, I can guarantee that. It's absolutely the biggest masterpiece of the year. The immersion and realism on the battlefield are unlike anything I've ever experienced in other masterpieces." Xiaoyuan added enthusiastically, "But that's not the most amazing thing about this game. The most amazing thing is the process of improving your skills. You really feel that you reap what you sow. Whether it's improving your martial arts skills or your physique, you can really feel it. I even feel that my skills have improved a lot after playing this game."

"There are still many major battles to come in this game. Players who want to experience war firsthand absolutely cannot miss it. It will definitely be an unforgettable experience for you."

"No way, is this game really that amazing?"

"Just based on the battlefield of this game, I'm definitely playing it."

"This game is incredible. There are thousands of gorillas, and each one has a different expression, body shape, and clothing. How much money did they spend on the modeling?"

As Xiaoyuan added her own comment, dozens of people commented instantly, and the number of likes exceeded ten thousand. Everyone felt that the game "High Martial Arts Descends" was somewhat overpowered and had the urge to give it a try.

On the official forum, it wasn't until Lin Qi finished reading the post that he understood why so many people were suddenly making reservations.

Not only Xiao Yuan was posting like crazy, but Fang Zhen and others also posted similar posts, which were also very popular. However, they were not as detailed as Xiao Yuan's posts. They also used various recorded videos to explain the general situation of the arrival of high martial arts to everyone.

This made players who were previously unfamiliar with the game "High Martial Arts Descend" understand what it was all about, and as a result, the number of people who wanted to play it increased dramatically.

"This has actually helped me a lot."

Lin Qi looked at the newly unlocked player resurrection device manufacturing permission in the system and couldn't help but click to view it.

He is currently severely short of players, but players need time to grow. Once a player on Crimson Moon Mountain dies, they can only be resurrected at Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. Not to mention that resurrection takes time, it is unknown how long it will take for them to travel to Crimson Moon Mountain after resurrection.

However, if players could be resurrected at Crimson Moon Mountain, their chances of defending the mountain would undoubtedly increase significantly.
