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

Chapter 152 The Craze for Advancement

"A job change? So fast!"

Lin Qi was somewhat surprised to open the system panel and check Luo Wushang's current status.

Player: Wu Chang

Martial Arts Level: Quasi-Martial Artist

Strength: 999.9kg

Speed: 29.9 meters per second

Training Method: First Level of the Mind-Awakening Breathing Technique (100% Proficiency)

Martial arts skills: Second level of the Shattering Stone Fist (perfected), Second level of the Leopard Shadow Step (perfected), First level of Thunder Palm (91% proficient), Star Explosion Visualization Technique (25% proficient), Mental Secret Technique (32% proficient), Body Strengthening Secret Technique (16% proficient).

After reviewing Luo Wushang's data, it's safe to say that Luo Wushang is already incredibly strong at the quasi-martial artist level.

With the dual mastery of the Crushing Stone Fist and the Leopard Shadow Step, his strength and speed are already comparable to those of a beginner martial artist who has completed the martial artist transformation. Once he completes the transformation, it's unknown how strong he will become.

"Alright, the first level of the Divine Breathing Technique is confirmed to be 100% proficient." After confirming, Lin Qi nodded. "If you want to advance and change your class, you will need to pay 200,000 points to exchange for the second level of the Divine Breathing Technique."

Although he still wanted a genius like Luo Wushang to be able to improve the Shocking Breathing Technique to the first level of perfection before advancing to become a martial artist.

However, achieving perfection in the first level of a breathing technique cannot be forced, as perfecting a breathing technique is far more difficult than perfecting a martial arts skill.

If Luo Wushang gets stuck at 100% proficiency in the first level of the breathing technique for more than ten days or even a month, she will be stuck at the quasi-martial artist stage. At that time, she will definitely fall far behind the main group of players, which will be a complete loss.

Especially since he now possesses three super-level Bone Forging Realm secret techniques, as long as he can master them to 100% proficiency, he will have a limitless future and be invincible among his peers. Moreover, he can only improve when a martial artist emerges among the players, and he will have the means to survive in the high-level martial arts world. There is absolutely no need to stop him.

After watching Lin Qi confirm, Luo Wushang also clicked on the smart watch on her wrist and transferred 200,000 points to Lin Qi.

"Choose one of these three training methods yourself." Lin Qi looked at Luo Wushang who had completed the payment, and took out three newly copied super-level bone forging realm second level training methods, as well as three matching seventh-stage martial arts techniques.

As Lin Qi took out the three job-change training methods and their corresponding martial arts skills, Luo Wushang's eyes lit up.

"Master, may I learn all three martial arts techniques?" Luo Wushang asked tentatively.

"No, these martial arts techniques require corresponding training methods to be learned properly. If you want to learn a martial art you like, you can only choose the corresponding training method." Lin Qi shook his head, directly dispelling Luo Wushang's idea.

While players can indeed learn three forging techniques simultaneously, learning so many will definitely slow down their growth rate significantly.

He had also figured it out: since there were three training methods, each with its own strengths, it could be used as a job change system in the game. Each job could only learn the martial arts of that job, which was perfectly normal in the game and made players understand that High Martial Arts Descend was a game.

After Lin Qi refused, Luo Wushang hesitated between the three training methods.

The three super-level Bone Forging Realm secret techniques include the Strength-based martial art, the Reverse Star Triple. While it's called a single martial art, it's more accurately described as a complete set, consisting of the Reverse Star Hand and the Reverse Star Step. It's one of the few martial arts techniques in the entire City of Light that can reach the seventh level, or the Bone Forging Realm. Mastering just the first level of this martial art can increase one's strength by a staggering four times, and the first level of the Reverse Star Step can boost speed by 60%.

As for the agility-type martial arts, it is the Six Forms of Ghostly Light, namely Ghostly Light Finger and Ghostly Light Step. Although the first level of Ghostly Light Finger only increases strength by 2.5 times, it can increase attack speed by 3 times. The first level of Ghostly Light Step can create three shadow clones and double the speed. The speed increase is so great that it can be described as heaven-defying.

The balance-type martial arts are called Cloud and Mist Transformation, which consists of Cloud and Mist Hand and Cloud and Mist Step. Mastering the first level of Cloud and Mist Hand increases strength by 3.5 times, while the first level of Cloud and Mist Step increases speed by 80%.

After hesitating for a few minutes, Luo Wushang chose the agility-based training method, paid one million points and one thousand contribution points to exchange for the Six Forms of Ghost Light, and then spent ten thousand points to exchange for two hundred kilograms of energy ore before leaving the hall master's rest room.

Lin Qi watched Luo Wushang leave, and he wasn't surprised by her choice.

Luo Wushang is a speed-oriented character, and once she learns the Six Styles of Ghostly Light, her speed will likely reach an extremely terrifying level.

As Luo Wushang began to advance and change her class, the players in the entire martial arts school went wild.

None of them expected that someone would start advancing and changing jobs so quickly. If they succeed in advancing and changing jobs, the gap they create will be enormous.

"No, we can't log off today either. We have to improve our breathing technique as soon as possible, otherwise a difference of one rank can easily widen the gap between us." Fang Zhen looked at Luo Wushang heading to the elite disciples' private lounge and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Is this dance sister planning to kill us all?" After receiving the message, Yi Ye Fu Yun couldn't help but feel a headache. He still had to spend time researching the new electromagnetic gun. He was already feeling like he was going to be torn in two by the 24 hours in a day. Now he had to compete with other people for levels. It was driving him crazy.

In an instant, the top players all began to frantically improve their breathing techniques, fearing that Luo Wushang would widen the gap between them.

Finally, less than two hours after Luo Wushang left, Li Ranxing rushed over and directly exchanged for the Strength-type Reverse Star Triple. Then, less than an hour later, Ye Qinglu also rushed over and exchanged for the Balance-type Cloud Mist Transformation.

By afternoon, eight people in the martial arts hall had already exchanged for the second level of forging techniques, making Lin Qi realize the importance of competition.

As for the new players in the martial arts school, seeing more and more people going to the school master's lounge to prepare for advancement and job change, they became fervent in their practice of breathing techniques, in addition to feeling envious and jealous.

Following Xiaoyuan's crazy newbie guide, I first dug holes to quickly accumulate points. Once I had enough points, I immediately went to learn the Stone Shattering Fist and Leopard Shadow Step. Then, while digging holes, I practiced the two basic martial arts skills. Once I had enough points, I went to learn breathing techniques from Trainer No. 1.

The breathing techniques taught by Coach No. 1 are highly efficient, far superior to what ordinary players can learn on their own. Once points are spent, players can dig holes to earn more points while simultaneously practicing two martial arts skills. Even with low aptitude, it only takes two or three days to reach the apprentice level and begin earning points.

The frantic activity of over two hundred players inside the martial arts hall left Jacques, who was organizing potion data in his studio, speechless. He came out of his studio on the first floor to see what was going on in the martial arts hall and why it was suddenly so noisy.

As Jacques stepped out of his studio, he was completely stunned.

"What's going on here?" Jacques looked at the players cultivating all over the hall, his heart filled with shock.

Previously, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy had a very small number of members. At most, there were only fifty disciples active in the academy. After several batches left, the entire Obsidian Martial Arts Academy was left with less than twenty people.

Only one day has passed, and the entire martial arts gym is already packed with people.

Not only were there many people running around, but the key point was that among these Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples, some were wearing A6-level battle armor, and there were more than one of them, more than a dozen at a glance.

I never expected that Obsidian Martial Arts School would become so rich overnight, it's beyond just being rich.

These dozen or so people all had very weak auras, clearly not even apprentices. Yet this group of people who weren't even apprentices were wearing A6-level battle armor that even she, a near-martial arts master, wouldn't dare to dream of.

However, what shocked Jacques the most was not these things, but the people wearing A6-level armor, each holding an alloy shovel, competing to see who could dig the most holes...

Anyone who has spent a significant amount of time at the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy knows that the disciples have been digging tunnels underground. Jacques is no exception. It's just unclear why the academy's master, Lin Qi, would allow these disciples to do this.

But Jacques was truly awestruck today.

For a prospective apprentice to go underground and dig a tunnel while wearing A6-level armor is such an extravagant act that even the major powers in the suburbs probably wouldn't dare to do it.

You have to understand that battle armor is a precision machine. It's fine to use it for combat, but to make a prospective apprentice wear it to dig holes is just wasteful.

"You're out. How's the potion data coming along?" Lin Qi asked, looking at Jacqueline, who was standing there in a daze as she walked out of the studio.

"It's almost done. Now we just need to wait for the equipment and materials to arrive before we can start production." Jacques nodded, looking back to his senses, as if afraid Lin Qi would think he was slacking off, and reported on the progress made over the past period.

While berserk potions may not be available for the time being, information on some type-one energy and healing potions has been compiled. As long as Lin Qi arranges the manpower, equipment, and materials, they can be made at any time.

"Hmm, not bad. I'll buy these equipment and materials tomorrow. You can post the recruitment information on the bulletin board as many people as you need. I'll give each person 400 points and 30 contribution points per day. Just send me the list of martial arts school disciples." Lin Qi looked at the potion information that Jacques had organized on his smartwatch and was very satisfied.

These potions may be useless to the player, but for him personally, they are essential for the path of a martial artist.

Although the potions he can make now are of a very low level and are of no use to him, if he can develop them, especially to the point of developing type II potions, then his progress will be much faster.

All he extracts from the players is experience, which won't cause any major problems in cultivation, but strengthening his internal organs still requires his own efforts.

Even if a martial artist's cultivation is not problematic, various minor issues will arise. After all, the initial cultivation of a training method is only the beginning, not the end, and the body will inevitably suffer some damage. If the cultivation is slow, the body can recover naturally from these damages, but if the cultivation is fast, then healing potions are necessary.

He can extract players' experience and inheritance, so his cultivation speed will definitely be extremely fast. He will definitely use a lot of healing potions. Before he officially begins his martial arts training, we must make arrangements in advance.

"Master, it seems like people from the Martial Arts Association are here." Jacques said to Lin Qi, who was checking documents, as he looked at a flying car belonging to the Martial Arts Association parked outside the dojo.

"Why are people from the Martial Arts Association suddenly here?" Lin Qi looked up and indeed saw that the flying car parked outside the martial arts hall belonged to the Martial Arts Association. He was filled with curiosity.
