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

Chapter 159 The First Battle of a Martial Artist

"Taking down seven at once, this guy is truly a role model for us all!"

"A fully healed elite was gone in an instant. This move is too overpowered, but spending 648 yuan in one go is a bit expensive."

"It's only 648, I'd even be willing to pay 6480. Is there anywhere I can learn this trick? I'll offer a million points!"

The new players present were all amazed when they saw the novice martial artist being killed in an instant. They never expected that a newcomer could master such a divine skill.

Aside from being a bit expensive, it's practically perfect for newcomers.

Whether it's monsters in the wild or enemies, their strength is generally above that of an intermediate apprentice, and there are quite a few elite-level quasi-martial artists. It's too difficult for a newcomer to get ahead.

If it weren't for the mentoring benefits offered in this mission, probably no veteran player would be willing to mentor a newcomer, even if the newcomer has an A6-level Warframe. Few veteran players would make such a deal.

But if you master this trick, then the newbie will have enough combat power, at least not too much of a burden, and will be able to get at least one kill from an elite monster.

Even newcomers can form their own groups when they travel in the future, and directly trade one-for-one in the wild. As long as there are enough newcomers, I don't believe they can't kill these enemies along the way.

Meanwhile, Lu Fanchen, who had just killed a senior apprentice with a single move, saw many newcomers inquiring about the Thunderfire Self-Destruction Technique and thought it was a good opportunity to promote Mythical Paradise.

"Very good! Everyone else, continue!" Lu Fanchen gave the order to the newcomers of Mythical Paradise without saying a word.

As soon as Lu Fanchen gave the order, more than ten newcomers rushed into the crowd of the four major forces, frantically trying to hug the prospective martial artists wearing A6-level armor.

These aspiring warriors, clad in A6-level armor, felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing the newcomers from Mythical Paradise charging towards them, and turned to run without hesitation.

Fighting a madman who can self-destruct is tantamount to suicide.

When close combat is not possible, the only option is to run. With the speed of a quasi-martial artist, an ordinary person simply cannot catch up.

For a time, the ordinary people of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy were seen frantically chasing down the prospective martial artists of the four major forces on the battlefield, while the others from the four major forces kept their distance.

"As expected, this move still has quite a few flaws. It seems we need to improve the speed of these people in the future." Looking at the newcomers chasing after quasi-martial artists everywhere, Lu Fanchen felt it was necessary to improve the Thunderfire Self-Destruction Technique.

At the very least, those who learn it must be able to unleash speeds exceeding those of a quasi-martial artist in a short period of time; otherwise, enemies with considerable intelligence will find it difficult to utilize the Thunderfire Self-Destruction Technique after just one trial.

"That's easy." Li Tianxing, who had just finished off a senior apprentice, said with a smile, "They only need to learn the basic application of my Sky-Stepping Technique, which allows the fire energy to be super-compressed and exploded under their feet. The explosive force will then propel them flying. I've tested it, and it can definitely exceed 50 meters per second."

"50 meters per second? Is that fast?" Lu Fanchen was also surprised after hearing this.

A martial artist's basic speed is only thirty meters per second. A speed of fifty meters per second is something that only high-level martial artists can achieve. Once a newcomer masters it, enemies below the level of a martial artist will truly be easy prey.

"Hmm." Li Tianxing nodded. "However, this kind of super-explosive technique can only be used once. After using it, both legs will be ruined due to the terrifying explosive force."

"Since they're about to self-destruct, their legs are pretty useless. This kind of technique only needs to be used once." Lu Fanchen was very satisfied. "When we get back this time, Lao Li, you should teach them. Make sure they all learn it."

If the Thunderfire Self-Destruction Method was like a hand grenade before, then if you can master the technique of increasing speed, it will be like a rocket launcher. You can hit wherever you want, which is awesome.

While Lu Fanchen and Li Tianxing were talking, the self-destruction of a newcomer from Mythical Paradise completely changed the situation on the battlefield.

Many new players were previously unable to manually create railguns because they were always stopped by the experts of the four major forces when throwing arrows. However, now that the people of the four major forces dare not get close, they have all started creating railguns.

Although the accuracy of the hand-crafted railgun was not great, the combined attack of nearly two hundred people was surprisingly effective. In just one wave, they took away dozens of experts from the four major forces, causing the four major forces to retreat in defeat.

Because of the attacks from the newcomers, the veteran players in the crowd were under much less pressure. With their martial arts skills and B2-level weapons, they were able to easily kill experts below the level of quasi-martial artist, causing the four major factions to suffer heavy casualties.

The battle lasted only a dozen seconds, and more than two hundred people died at the hands of more than forty veteran players, like a meat grinder on the battlefield.

"Die, all of you!"

Vincent of the North Ao family also stopped giving orders and, wielding a B2-level battle sword, charged directly at the veteran players, intending to stop the decline of the four major forces.

"Oh no! The boss is here!"

"Keep away, newcomers!"

The veteran players felt considerable pressure as Vincenzo charged towards them, and they all told the newcomers around them to back off.

Before the veteran players could finish speaking, Vincent approached a veteran player whose strength had reached the advanced apprentice level, and brandished his B2-grade battle sword.

There were no martial arts techniques or skills involved; it was just a simple swing of the knife.

The sudden force of nearly 3000 kilograms sent the veteran player, who was using a B2-level spear to defend himself, flying. Even this veteran player, whose strength had reached the advanced apprentice level, didn't have time to use the first move of the Wildfire technique to defend himself before crashing into the rock wall of the valley. His arms broke, and he coughed up blood, clearly not long to live.

"So strong!"

"Is this the strength of a martial arts-level boss?"

The players present couldn't help but gasp as they watched the veteran player being taken down in a single blow.

Although everyone present already knew that the martial artist-level BOSS was extraordinary, no one expected it to be this strong. Even a high-level apprentice was killed in one hit, and this was only a normal attack from the BOSS.

Just as Vincent was about to strike another veteran player who was an ultimate apprentice, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared behind Vincent, and a long sword pierced straight into his heart.

"Who goes there!"

Vincent was the first to notice, and immediately turned around to meet the attack with his sword.

boom!

The moment they touched, the figure flew back several steps and stood less than twenty meters away from Vincent.

"Warrior?"

Vincent was slightly surprised when he saw who it was. He hadn't expected that the Obsidian Martial Arts School would have a hidden martial artist.

However, this surprise quickly turned into disdain.

Because Luo Wushang was only carrying a B2-grade longsword, she didn't even have any protective gear. Compared to him, who was wearing B2-grade armor, she was nothing more than an ant.

A B2-level battle armor can increase strength by 1000 kilograms and speed by 8 meters per second, making it impossible for a novice martial artist with nothing to fight against.

"Such powerful strength, it's made my hands numb." Luo Wushang shook her hands, looking at Vincent with a hint of excitement.

Since her promotion to martial artist, all her attributes have been greatly improved. She was just worried about not having anyone to practice on. This time, she took on the transport mission simply to try her luck and see if she could encounter a powerful enemy.

I didn't expect this team mission to be so challenging; we were faced with three warrior-level bosses right from the start.

This martial arts-level BOSS was also stronger than she had imagined. In just a brief exchange, even though she had cultivated a body-strengthening secret technique, her hands still went numb from the head-on collision.

This was the first time she had encountered such a formidable opponent since entering the game.

"Are your hands numb? This is just the beginning!" Vincent scoffed, slashing down with his B2 battle knife once more.

Martial arts skill of the Ghost Shadow Blade!

In an instant, more than ten sword shadows swept towards Luo Wushang from several directions. Each sword shadow had a force of nearly five thousand kilograms, which was far beyond the ability of an ordinary beginner martial artist to withstand.

"Well done!"

Luo Wushang, seeing this, was already prepared and met the attack with a move called "Pointing Star".

After incorporating the perfected Thunder Palm technique, the Star Point technique instantly unleashed twelve sword shadows, each with 2.1 times the power, giving each sword shadow a force exceeding 3800 kilograms.

boom!

boom!

boom!

The impact of the clash between the blades and swords caused the ground to tremble, as if each collision was like a cannonball hitting the ground.

In just a moment, the two of them were each sent flying back more than ten meters.

After Luo Wushang landed, both the sword in her hand and the hand holding it trembled violently. On the other side, Vincent's weapon and arm were unharmed, but one of the sword shadows struck Vincent's shoulder, leaving a shallow mark on his B2-level armor. The lightning force also caused some injury to Vincent's shoulder, making it somewhat red and swollen.

"Who are you?"

Vincent glanced at the sword mark on his shoulder, then looked at Luo Wushang with astonishment in his eyes.

How could a novice martial artist without any protective gear injure him while he was wearing B2-level armor? Who would believe that?
