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

Chapter 119 First Battle with a Martial Artist

Outside of Red Moon Mountain, on a high ground beside a lake.

"Just as the guild leader suspected, Vatu has been hiding his strength all these years!" Mans watched Vatu kill players along the way and couldn't help but get excited. "Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is completely finished now. With his martial artist level strength, no one below martial artist level can catch up with Vatu. As long as Vatu kills Lin Qi, Obsidian Martial Arts Academy will be finished."

"Captain Mans, isn't Lin Qi also a martial artist?" the head of the secret guards asked curiously. "As a fellow martial artist, Vatu probably won't be able to do anything to Lin Qi in a short time, let alone kill him in Crimson Moon Mountain. If Lin Qi holds Vatu back, along with the experts from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, Vatu probably won't be able to escape even if he wants to."

"You don't understand. Even among martial artists, the gap between them is enormous, even greater than the gap between ordinary and quasi-martial artists," Mans said with a smile. "The gang leader guesses that Vatu has been a martial artist for at least ten years. In those ten years, Vatu has already ranked among the top among beginner-level martial artists, and he's probably not far from becoming a mid-level martial artist. Otherwise, Vatu wouldn't dare to plot against Patrol Night Town."

"After all, Night Patrol Town belongs to the children of that association's high-ranking members. Although those children are not very promising, they are still genuine beginner-level martial artists."

"Even if Watu becomes a martial artist, he wouldn't dare to mess with two beginner-level martial artists. So it's very likely that Watu is close to breaking through to become a mid-level martial artist. By taking over Night Patrol Town first, he can quickly break through to become a mid-level martial artist in a short time. That way, he won't be afraid of two beginner-level martial artists at all."

"I have investigated Lin Qi in detail. He was not originally a vagrant in the City of Light. Not long ago, he was just an ordinary person. The fact that he has the strength he has now, and even seems to be a martial artist, is very likely because he obtained a gene serum, which is why he broke through so quickly."

"However, gene serums have many drawbacks. Although they can quickly bring people to the level of a quasi-martial artist, or even help them become a martial artist, because their potential is exhausted, they can only stay at the level of a beginner martial artist for the rest of their lives, let alone become a beginner martial artist."

The captain of the secret guards understood after hearing this.

Both are beginner-level martial artists, one just became a martial artist and the other has been a martial artist for many years. The difference in their strength is nearly double. Under such a difference, Vatu can indeed kill Lin Qi in a short time.

While Mans and the others were overjoyed, Xia Ling, who was watching the battle from the bridge, had a grim expression.

"A martial artist! He's actually a martial artist!" Xia Ling watched Vatu wreaking havoc on the mountain, then looked at Estina not far away and whispered, "Estina! Did you always know that old gorilla was hiding his strength?"

"I know a little." Estina nodded and said in a very gentle voice, "But I didn't expect him to be hiding so much strength. Even at a distance of ten meters, the air strike had such great power. I estimate that his strength is now over 1500 kilograms. With Vatu's many years of combat experience, this battle should be over soon."

"Is he already a top-tier beginner martial artist?" Xia Ling's face darkened upon hearing this, and she even understood why Estina had come to support Vatu.

Normally, only large gangs in the suburbs without martial artists would cherish a beginner-level martial artist, but for a martial arts family like Estina's, such a person is just ordinary.

There are quite a few martial artists in the City of Light, but most of them are beginner-level martial artists. Such martial artists are rare even in the suburbs, but they are the lowest level of martial artists in the city. For the large martial artist families with ambitions in the city, they have no need for them.

However, if Watu's current strength has reached the level of a top-tier beginner martial artist, and he is probably not far from breaking through to become a mid-tier martial artist, then he would be valuable.

Once you become a mid-level martial artist, your status is incomparable to that of a beginner-level martial artist. You can even establish your own sect in the suburbs, and martial arts universities in the city will hire you as an instructor.

"Alright, I've watched this farce long enough. It's time to go back." Estina smiled at Xia Ling's pale face and prepared to turn and leave.

"Miss, shall we go too?" the butler asked Xia Ling in a low voice.

"Let's wait a little longer. Lin Qi might not necessarily lose." Xia Ling couldn't help but look at Watu, who was almost up the mountain. She still believed that the Obsidian Martial Arts School was not that simple, especially since Lin Qi was a genius martial artist and had a chance of winning against Watu.

Estina simply shook her head slightly, no longer paying attention to anything happening on Crimson Moon Mountain, and headed straight for a flying transport vehicle parked in the woods across the bridge.

A top-tier beginner martial artist is not so easily defeated by being surrounded and attacked.

As Estina had predicted, the unleashed Vatu was unstoppable on the mountain path. Players were either blasted away by a single punch or carved a path through the air with their icy blades.

Faced with the chilling aura emanating from the sword, even when players infused their weapons with the power of their Thunder Palm, they were unable to withstand it. The moment they touched it, their weapons and hands were enveloped in frost, rendering them utterly powerless to fight.

Even Fang Zhen, Yi Ye Fu Yun, Zhao Hu, Zhang Qingwei, Xiao Yuan Ye Kuang Feng, and others who rushed to the battlefield found Vatu, this gorilla, extremely troublesome.

No matter how many times they used martial arts techniques, Vatu could break through them with a single strike from a distance. Their reaction speed was so fast that they could only barely catch and defend against them.

If they hadn't worked together, Vatu could have taken down any one of them in just a few moves.

"This BOSS is so strong!" Yi Ye Fu Yun exclaimed, looking at his broken weapon and frozen arms. "With such reaction and power, if it weren't for Sister Wu and the others coming to help, we probably wouldn't have been able to do anything to him before his energy was depleted."

With his Spiral Demon Spear Strike, Vatu simply slashed from a distance, and the A6-level spear he had picked up was broken in two. He was instantly knocked away, his hands were crippled, and he couldn't suppress the chill that was emanating from his body.

There is no solution to facing such a powerful boss except to overwhelm it with sheer numbers and wage a war of attrition.

"It will probably take some time for Wu Chang and the others to arrive, so we need to stall them a little longer." As Zhang Qingwei spoke, she unleashed a wave of blade light, slashing towards Watu's back.

With a force of nearly four thousand kilograms, the blade's light shattered metal and stone, but Watu didn't even glance at it. He simply raised his B2-grade battle sword, and the chilling blade directly deflected Zhang Qingwei's blade light, cleaving the nearby rock wall in two.

Immediately afterward, Vatu threw a punch from a distance, so fast that Zhang Qingwei almost couldn't react. With the A6-level battle knife he had picked up, Zhang Qingwei felt his entire arm go numb and was sent flying several meters away.

A simple punch had the effect of a martial arts technique, leaving the players present utterly shocked. They never imagined that a martial artist could be so powerful.

Despite being surrounded by more than a dozen extreme apprentices and quasi-martial artists, Vatu completely ignored them and continued to advance, even managing to injure them in return. He was more terrifying than any monster in the wild.

However, just as Vatu reached the mountainside and Flo and the others were about to make their move, a figure appeared in front of Vatu first and slashed down with a sword.

Vatu reacted extremely quickly, turning around and slashing forward with his sword.

boom!

A loud bang echoed halfway up the mountain.

Then Vatu took half a step back, while the figure took a full step back.

"You're actually a martial artist!" Vatu looked at the figure with surprise and shock in his eyes.

Because that figure was none other than Lin Qi, the master of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

However, what truly shocked Vatu was that Lin Qi had just clashed with him head-on, and was only slightly weaker than him in terms of strength.

Vatu is quite confident in his strength, which has reached over 1800 kilograms, not far from the 2000 kilograms of a mid-level martial artist. He is already a formidable opponent among beginner-level martial artists.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qi, who was considered a potential martial artist, was only slightly inferior to him in strength and was not someone who had just become a martial artist at all.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Such powerful strength." Lin Qi looked at Watu, whose body was three meters tall, and couldn't help but be shocked.

He was well aware that his strength of nearly 1500 kilograms was already quite impressive among the beginner-level martial artists in the City of Light, but it was still far behind that of Vatu, which showed just how powerful Vatu was.

"You're just as good at hiding as I am, but you're going to die today!" Watu looked at Lin Qi, who was quite powerful, and became even more determined to kill him. He was so young and already had such power. If he was let go today, there would be endless trouble in the future.

As he spoke, Vatu suddenly raised his sword and slashed directly into the wind.

Martial arts skill of the martial artist level: Cold Moon!

Suddenly, a blade of light weighing over 6300 kilograms flew away.

Lin Qi didn't stand on ceremony either. He flicked his B2-grade longsword, and a bolt of lightning shot out.

High-level martial arts skill: Thunder Flash!

With three times the force, the lightning, carrying nearly 6000 kilograms of power, struck the blade.

boom!

The moment the two collided, the space exploded like an explosion, and the terrifying impact could be felt by people within a radius of hundreds of meters. Where the blade light and sword energy collided, a trench several meters deep was left on the ground, and a crater with a radius of more than three meters was blasted out in the center.

This terrifying collision forced both Vatu and Lin Qi to retreat several steps.

"Has he gone mad?" Vatu was shocked to see that nothing had happened, and then he slashed at Lin Qi with his sword again.

Despite his clearly superior strength, martial arts techniques at the Martial Artist level would only amplify the gap between them, yet Lin Qi remained completely unharmed when faced with his strike.

You should know that his internal organs were also in some discomfort due to the impact just now. Forcing himself to use martial arts techniques would only worsen his injuries. Lin Qi's strength was weaker than his, so his injuries should be more serious.

To use martial arts techniques so recklessly, regardless of the cost, is simply insane.

However, Vatu didn't have many options and had to bite the bullet and use Cold Moon once again.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Within three seconds, the two clashed six or seven times. Vatu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, while Lin Qi's expression remained normal. The amazing effect of the body-strengthening secret technique meant that the impact had no effect at all, and he swung his sword again.

"Is he made of iron?"

Seeing Lin Qi use Thunder Flash once again, Vatu no longer dared to fight head-on and dodged away.

However, Vatu's dodge left him airborne, and Lin Qi, as if he had been waiting for a long time, followed up with a lightning palm strike.

boom!

By the time Vatu realized what was happening, it was too late. He was in poor physical condition and unable to use any martial arts techniques. He could only meet the attack with a powerful punch, but a normal punch against a lightning palm weighing nearly 4500 kilograms was like throwing an egg against a rock.

Vatu's arms and internal organs were shattered by the shock, and he was imprinted on the rock wall. He was barely breathing and soon collapsed to the ground.

The leader of the Great Ape Gang!

A top-tier beginner martial artist!

dead!
