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

Chapter 155 The Birth of a Martial Arts Level Player

Obsidian Martial Arts School, the sun rises.

The shaking of the second-floor room startled the newbies who were still working hard to improve their skills inside the martial arts hall, as well as the players in the surrounding lounges who were trying to reach the Martial Artist realm.

"An earthquake?"

Fang Zhen, who had been staying up for several days and nights, suddenly opened his eyes and walked out of the lounge in a daze.

The slight shaking on the second floor continued. For ordinary people, this shaking might not be noticeable, but for a near-martial artist who had tempered their internal organs, it was very obvious and could not be ignored.

This can be considered a drawback of having heightened senses.

Not long after Fang Zhen came out, people also came out of the rest rooms where the other elite disciples lived.

"The energy emanating from this lounge is so rich!"

"I feel like my energy and blood are almost on par with the Master's."

"No way, he broke through already?"

Yi Ye Fuyun, Li Ranxing, Zhao Hu, Zhang Qingwei, Ye Qinglu and others looked in surprise at the rest room that was emanating a rich aura, their hearts filled with curiosity and astonishment.

Everyone present had mastered the first level of the Shocking Breathing Technique to 100% proficiency and was constantly breaking through the bottleneck that stood in their way on the path of martial arts.

But after trying for most of the day, including many who died more than ten times, they knew how difficult the second level of the Shocking Breathing Technique was to master.

While rank advancement in other games is challenging, it's nowhere near as terrifying as the arrival of a high-level martial artist.

Especially the step of introducing the energy of the energy mineral into the body to stimulate the internal organs is incredibly stimulating.

If things go wrong, it could lead to bleeding in the heart, lungs, or liver, which could be fatal in an instant.

It was called cultivation, but it was actually torture.

Everyone suspected that this was malicious intent from the game developers, to let everyone experience what it meant to have 100,000 advanced ways to die.

The second stage of the Shocking Breathing Method, which involves stimulating the five or six internal organs with energy minerals, must be completed in one breath, and at a very fast speed.

Otherwise, the powerful blood supply brought about by the first step of strengthening the heart could cause the blood vessels of the unstrengthened spleen, lungs, and kidneys to rupture in no time, or they would be unable to withstand the surging blood.

Mild energy stimulation of the brain is particularly deadly; one wrong move and you could end up with cerebral palsy, a terrible death that requires contacting others offline to come and help.

It's hard to imagine that someone could master the second level of this mind-altering breathing technique so quickly.

Jacques, who had just gotten up and left the house, was also surprised to hear the conversation between Yi Ye Fuyun and the others.

"Breakthrough to Martial Artist? Is this how the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy helps its disciples break through to become Martial Artists?" Jacques was stunned as he stared at the elite disciples' lounge, where blood and qi were overflowing.

For a quasi-martial artist to break through to become a martial artist is an extremely important event in any organization. Wealthy organizations will even rent training rooms from the Martial Artists Association specifically for this purpose.

The reason for doing this is to increase the success rate of the breakthrough, since breaking through to become a martial artist is a very difficult thing.

The training rooms of the Martial Arts Association are not only made of energy ore, but also have auxiliary equipment in the rooms that can make the energy brought by the energy ore more peaceful. With a bottle of Type II energy potion, the stimulation to the cells of the internal organs will not be so intense, and the strength of the cells of the internal organs can be improved for a short time, so that the breakthrough will not cause various troublesome problems.

Larger, wealthier forces would provide Type II healing potions. If a martial artist encountered any minor problems during a breakthrough, the potion's terrifying regenerative power would allow them to forcibly overcome the difficulties and complete the entire tempering process. Even if they couldn't complete the entire tempering, they could at least save their lives.

But what about the Obsidian Martial Arts School?

The elite disciples' rest room was completely bare, just an ordinary room, and the Type II energy potions and healing potions were clearly not available at the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

To let a martial arts school disciple break through directly into a martial artist is something even a demon wouldn't do; they'd be afraid of not killing the one who broke through.

However, in the brief moment that Jacques was stunned, Luo Wushang also walked out of the rest room, her face full of smiles. The waves of heat emanating from her body announced that Luo Wushang had successfully broken through and had officially become a martial artist.

"A martial artist! He actually succeeded!"

"This dissipated energy and blood, I feel even my strength has difficulty penetrating it. Is this the suppression from the difference in rank?"

Looking at Luo Wushang's surging power, Yi Ye Fuyun and the others were all deeply shocked.

Although the group had faced martial artists before, this was the first time they had faced one with their blood and qi fully unleashed, at such close range.

Normal martial artists do not unleash their full power of qi and blood during combat. After all, martial arts combat is all about qi and blood, and recklessly releasing qi and blood is just a waste of one's own qi and blood.

Of course, this method can be used for some degree of defense, but it is useless against experts of the same level.

"It's done? It's done already?" Jacques looked at Luo Wushang as she walked out, his mouth agape in astonishment.

At this moment, Luo Wushang had clearly become a martial artist; otherwise, her qi and blood would never have reached such a terrifying level. But it was precisely because Luo Wushang had become a martial artist that Jacques was even more surprised and shocked.

Even Jacques couldn't imagine how Luo Wushang had succeeded without any external assistance.

Calling someone a genius is probably the most common assessment.

"Sister Wu, how much power do you have now?" Yi Ye Fu Yun couldn't help but ask, looking at Luo Wu Chang, whose every move exuded a sense of threat.

"1558.4 kilograms." Luo Wushang didn't hide anything and directly stated the data on the player system panel.

"1,500 kilograms?" Fang Zhen gasped in surprise. "I remember you chose the agility-based build, right? With a base stat of 1,500 kilograms, how fast would that be?!"

The others present looked at Luo Wushang as if she were a monster.

Everyone knows that Luo Wushang's Shattering Stone Fist and Leopard Shadow Step are already perfected, and both her strength and speed have been enhanced.

The second level of the Simple Stone-Shattering Fist, when perfected, grants a 15% power boost, equivalent to Luo Wushang's casual strike having a force of nearly 1800 kilograms.

This power is comparable to the B1-level armored boss monsters in the Azure Sky, and Luo Wushang has changed to an agility-based class, so her speed will only be more terrifying.

"The base speed stat is 38.4 meters per second," Luo Wushang said with a smile. "When running normally, it's about the speed of a mid-level martial artist."

"This job advancement is terrifying! It's practically a human mini-boss." Upon hearing this, Yi Ye Fu Yun's eyes were filled with envy.

With such terrifying stats, if this were to go to the Azure Sky, it could probably easily defeat those boss monsters wearing B1-level armor, and even truly clash with those warrior bosses wearing B-level armor.

"No, I want to change jobs too!" Fang Zhen said, then went back into the rest room and began his attack on the martial artist.

The others present also turned around and returned to their rest rooms, thinking that they must complete the job change, otherwise the gap between them would make it impossible to play together.

As for Jacques, who was watching from the side, he was completely bewildered and had no idea what the players were talking about.

Job change?

Agile type?

She could understand every single word the players said, but when they were put together, she truly couldn't understand them.

I don't understand martial arts at all. When did they start having professional divisions?

What the heck is Agility-based?

Could it be that this near-martial arts expert, who has been wandering in the wild all the time, has become out of touch with the times?

"Finally, someone has succeeded."

Lin Qi watched as Luo Wushang began practicing her martial arts techniques again, and his heart remained unsettled for a long time.

Although he knew that the player would definitely be able to break through to become a martial artist, he did not expect that Luo Wushang could break through to become a martial artist so quickly. Moreover, the level of her mastery of the second level of forging method was not low. She started with a 4% entry level, and her data in all aspects completely surpassed his.

It must be said that the super-level Bone Forging Realm secret technique is indeed powerful. Even if he has reached the first level of perfection, it is still incomparable to the high-level martial artist-level forging method.

Once Luo Wushang learns the matching Six Forms of Ghostly Light, her combat power will be overwhelming, even against a beginner martial artist wearing B2-level armor.

Moreover, with the Ghost Light Step of the Ghost Light Six Styles, the speed directly doubles, allowing for attack and retreat at will, leaving even mid-level martial artists wearing B-grade armor helpless.

Lin Qi decided not to tolerate this any longer. He returned to his master's lounge, locked the door, placed a pile of energy ores around him, carefully took out the last two energy crystals, held them in his hand, and brought up the system menu.

"We can begin!"

After taking a deep breath, Lin Qi sat cross-legged on the ground and chose to extract Luo Wushang's second level of forging technique.
