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

Chapter 156 Second Transformation

Inside the master's lounge of the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

As a flood of memories surged into Lin Qi's mind, he instantly experienced the entire process of Luo Wushang cultivating the second level of the training method.

Using the rich energy of energy minerals, starting from the heart and traveling through blood vessels, one can quickly use their own blood and qi to carry the rich energy to stimulate other internal organs, flowing all the way to the brain.

The entire process must be both fast and steady. The rich energy from the energy minerals must not be overstimulated or understimulated as it circulates throughout the body with the blood and qi; a balance must be maintained.

If any part of the internal organs is stimulated too much or too little, the balance of the organs will be instantly disrupted, leading to death.

But once the entire process is completed, the whole body will undergo a transformation due to the energy baptism of the energy minerals.

Lin Qi glanced at his system panel and, after confirming that he had reached the entry level of 4% in the second stage of the Dark Light Forging Technique, he began to mobilize the two energy crystals in his hand according to the memory inheritance.

Compared to energy minerals, energy crystals not only contain more concentrated and purer energy, but are also more peaceful.

Because energy crystals are highly aggregated energy sources, they do not contain other radioactive substances or impurities, unlike energy ores which contain various impurities and even some radiation. This causes changes in the energy contained within them, making the energy unstable and its stimulation of the body's cells more complex and variable, and difficult to control.

It's like hot oil with a little water in it. As the oil gets hotter, you never know when the water will explode. And the martial artist has to circulate this oil throughout his body, so the danger is unimaginable.

This is also why Lin Qi has never dared to learn the second forging method directly on his own. The oil temperature is very difficult to control, and different forging methods require different oil temperatures, so a lot of trial and error is needed.

Therefore, anyone in the world of high martial arts who wants to break through bottlenecks or accelerate their cultivation will use energy crystals to reduce risks.

After more than ten minutes, the energy contained in the energy crystal flowed smoothly throughout Lin Qi's body. Immediately afterwards, waves of heat burst forth from Lin Qi's body, constantly impacting the surrounding walls, making the whole room seem as if a gale was blowing, with papers flying and objects shaking.

"I've mastered the second level of the forging technique. Now I'm a true martial artist." Lin Qi felt a sense of relief as he experienced his second transformation, and then opened his panel to check.

Host: Lin Qi.

Age: 25.

Administrator privileges: Level 1.

Permission level: Level 2 merit-based admission permission.

Martial Arts Level: Beginner Martial Artist.

Strength: 1926.6 kg. (Intermediate martial artist standard: 2000 kg)

Speed: 39.7 meters per second. (Standard for intermediate-level martial artists: 40 meters per second)

Internal organs: 30.5% complete in internal strengthening.

Training Method: Mind-Awakening Breathing Technique (Second Level of the Six Forms of Ghostly Light, 4% Entry Level)

"Is this almost at the level of a mid-level martial artist?" Lin Qi looked at his panel and couldn't help but rub his eyes, somewhat unable to believe it was real.

Having only mastered the second level of the forging technique and completed the formal transformation into a martial artist, his stats in all aspects are comparable to those of a mid-level martial artist. If other forces knew this, they would definitely try to send him to the laboratory.

And these are just basic data. Yesterday, through extraction, he had already brought his first level of Thunder Palm to perfection.

As a martial arts skill at the martial artist level, the effect of the first level of perfection of the Lightning Palm is significantly stronger than that of the Shattering Stone Fist.

When the second level of the Crushing Stone Fist reaches perfection, the strength buff only increases by 15%, while the Thunder Palm, even at the first level of perfection, can increase the strength buff by 20%. Moreover, after testing, the intensity of the force also increases by 10%, completely replacing all the effects of the Crushing Stone Fist, and the force is also greatly enhanced.

Now, his normal punch has a force of over 2300 kilograms, and the force he can unleash can reach 2119 kilograms, which is no different from that of a true intermediate-level martial artist.

"Next, I just need to wait for Luo Wushang to learn the matching martial arts of the Six Styles of Ghostly Light. Then I won't be afraid even if I face a mid-level martial artist wearing B-grade armor. I can leave when I want and fight when I want." Lin Qi was very satisfied with his condition.

With his current strength, even in the suburbs of the City of Light, he would be considered a top-tier expert. Once he masters the martial arts of the Six Styles of Ghostly Light, probably no one in the entire suburbs will be able to do anything to him.

Just as Lin Qi had barely gotten used to his newfound power, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.

"Master, Lord Fenglin from the Martial Arts Association has arrived with his men, along with ten large transport vehicles. They said it was arranged yesterday," a hired human vagrant reported at the gate.

"They arrived really quickly." Lin Qi muttered under his breath, then stood up and replied, "Okay, I understand. Tell them to wait a moment."

"Yes." The hired vagrant left respectfully.

As the homeless people left, Lin Qi opened the door and gathered players who wanted to take on team transport missions in the training ground.

In less than three minutes, more than 240 players gathered on the training ground, a scene that left Lin Qi speechless.

This isn't a supply convoy; it's practically the king's procession.

More than a hundred newcomers carried suitcases of armor, while the other newcomers carried A6-level and B2-level arrows. There were also more than forty veteran players with B2-level weapons and arrows accompanying them, including Luo Wushang, who had just been promoted to a martial artist.

If Fang Zhen and the others hadn't been so focused on reaching the martial arts realm, the number of people heading out for transport would probably have been even greater.

When Lin Qi appeared with more than two hundred players in the small square outside the martial arts hall, Feng Gelin, who had been waiting, was also incredulous.

"When did the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy get so many people?" Feng Lin looked at the line of more than two hundred people and felt his eyes were about to blur.

According to the Martial Arts Association's data, the total number of people in the Obsidian Martial Arts School was only about one hundred, and there were only a dozen or so aspiring martial artists. That was before the battle with the Great Ape Gang.

Now that the battle with the Great Ape Gang is over, although the Obsidian Martial Arts School still has some experts, they should all be guarding Crimson Moon Mountain. The number of people who can actually be used for transportation is probably only a few dozen.

After all, Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has never posted any recruitment information. The gang is still in its early stages, and the battles have already consumed a lot of manpower. How many people do they have left?

Even Feng Gelin suspected that Lin Qi would deliberately abandon this transport mission, or sacrifice some members of the Obsidian Martial Arts School to deal with the Martial Arts Association's mandatory mission, so that he would have enough breathing time to recruit a large number of people.

But now, more than two hundred people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy have come out. Although most of them are ordinary people, it is still incredible for the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, which has always had few people.

As von Green carefully sensed the players who had emerged, he was immediately shocked.

"Warrior?"

Feng Gelin stared intently at Luo Wushang, who was following behind Lin Qi, his heart filled with shock.

Feng Gelin knew all too well what level the Obsidian Martial Arts School was at. It was a small, unaffiliated gang that initially didn't even have a single martial artist. It was already a stroke of luck that a genius martial artist with exceptional potential like Lin Qi could emerge from it.

But only a few days later, another martial artist has appeared at the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy...

"Is it really that easy for members of wild gangs to advance to the rank of martial artist these days?" Feng Gelin looked at Luo Wushang, whose blood and energy were quite impressive, and suddenly began to doubt himself, wondering if he was already out of touch with the times.

In Feng Gelin's memory, it was very difficult for the major forces in the suburbs to cultivate a martial artist. It required accumulating resources for many years and having talented people. Only after many years could such a martial artist be born.

If this is the case for all the major factions in the suburbs, one can imagine what the situation is like for outlying gangs with little money.

But the Obsidian Martial Arts School, a newly established wilderness gang, has produced one martial artist after another, making it completely different from the wilderness gangs that Feng Linlin remembered.

"Everyone get on the trucks." Lin Qi glanced at the ten large transport trucks and ordered, "Your mission this time is to transport the supplies for these ten large transport trucks to Fenglin Town, and then return quickly. The route map is already on the trucks. If there is any loss of supplies or damage to the vehicles along the way, you will be responsible for compensation. If there are no problems, then set off."

As Lin Qi finished speaking, Feng Gelin stared at him with wide eyes.

I have absolutely no idea what Lin Qi was thinking. This transport mission was so dangerous, it was practically suicide. We should be grateful that we arrived safely.

Lin Qi, on the other hand, was even thinking about the issues of supplies and vehicle compensation, and even wanted to pass these problems on to these brave warriors who risked their lives for the gang. Even the devil couldn't be more ruthless...

"yes!"

"Please rest assured, Master! We guarantee there will be no problems with the vehicles or supplies!"

Upon hearing this, the players all made assurances to Lin Qi, their eyes filled with indescribable excitement and anticipation. Without even waiting for further instructions from Lin Qi, they all jumped and skipped towards the large transport vehicle.

"Damn it! Don't try to steal it, I've been a professional driver for thirty years."

"I want the lead car! Don't anyone try to take it! I want to offer my heart to the Master!"

"Get out! The lead car is mine, and I'll shed blood for the Master!"

As players desperately vied for the lead car, constantly pledging their loyalty to the NPC Lin Qi, it seemed as if only the most loyal among them were qualified to lead the car, leaving Feng Gelin completely dumbfounded.

I never imagined that outdoor gangs could cultivate such loyalty among their members to such an extent; it's simply terrifying.

Feng Lin didn't come to his senses until the player drove away from the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall in ten large transport vehicles.

Meanwhile, in a shop on the outskirts of the City of Light.

"Boss, it's confirmed that the people from the Obsidian Martial Arts School have left the city." Mans looked at the information from his subordinate and couldn't help but glance at Isaac, the leader of the White Feather Gang, who was radiating heat.
