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

Chapter 165 Declaration of War!

Obsidian Martial Arts School, training ground.

As Lin Qi finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. The assassins of the Bei Ao family all looked at Lin Qi with icy eyes.

The Bei'ao family, a prominent family in the outskirts of the City of Light, is considered one of the top ten families. Other forces in the suburbs treat the Bei'ao family with utmost respect. Now, the Bei'ao family has been threatened with expulsion by the Obsidian Martial Arts School, a force from the wilderness. This is something that the family's loyalists absolutely cannot tolerate.

Just as the twenty assassins of the North O family were about to attack in anger, Derock reached out and stopped them.

"Master Lin, I will relay your words to the patriarch verbatim. I hope you won't regret it later." Derock looked at Lin Qi, smiled, and left.

Lin Qi watched as Derock and the others left, but did not stop them.

"Master Lin, do you really want to make enemies of the four major powers of the North Ao?" Jacques looked at the departing North Ao family, quite astonished.

Jacques, who did all sorts of dirty work, knew a lot about the North Ao family. He was well aware of how terrifying the North Ao family was. Even the Great Ape Gang behind the Great Ape Gang was a step weaker than the North Ao family.

Although the Obsidian Martial Arts School destroyed the Great Ape Gang, if it were to become an enemy of the North Ao family, it would be impossible to survive in the City of Light, let alone face the combined forces of the four major North Ao powers.

That's absolutely insane!

"They want to fight outside the city, so we'll just follow them," Lin Qi said dismissively.

Although he didn't know who released the video targeting the Obsidian Martial Arts School, if they wanted to use the four major forces to wage a war of attrition against him, he wouldn't mind using those four forces to rise to power in the City of Light.

Jacques was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

"Forget it, if he's not afraid, why should I worry?" Jacques looked at Lin Qi returning to the house and felt that he was worrying for nothing. He should just hurry up and make a berserk potion so that he could recover as soon as possible.

With that in mind, Jacques returned to his studio to make final confirmations about the equipment and materials.

The City of Light, a secret chamber in the North Olympic Courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

"Master, this is all that Lin Qi said." The giant Drok respectfully reported to Master Cadewen.

"What I can do, can he do too?" A rare cold smile appeared on Kadwin's wrinkled face. "It's been a long time since I've encountered such an arrogant young man. Fine, pass the word down to the other three families to cooperate with us and keep an eye on the people from the Obsidian Martial Arts School. If any of them leave or enter the city, leave no one alive. Let this young man know the price of arrogance!"

"Yes." Drock nodded and left.

Drock then relayed Cadwin's idea to the other three factions.

"Uncle Wright, the Obsidian Martial Arts School is too arrogant. How about we destroy Crimson Moon Mountain, which they control, first?" Beth, whose entire body was covered in golden hair, looked at the message sent by Drok and was very dissatisfied, feeling that the North O family had gone too far.

"No, it's best to do as that old guy Kadwin says." Wright, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, shook his head slightly and explained, "Kedwin knows exactly what the four major powers want. If he really destroys the foundation of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, then Lin Qi will have no hope and will simply live in the city with the remains of a lord-level monster. Unless we four families pay an extremely high price to ask someone for help, we will never be able to get our hands on the remains of that lord-level monster."

"On the contrary, if Lin Qi doesn't want to see the Obsidian Martial Arts School perish, he will have no choice but to compromise by gradually weakening it."

"But if that's the case, won't we just have to keep waiting?" Beth said anxiously. "The registration period for the Genius Training Camp is almost here. If we wait until the Genius Training Camp assessment is over, even if I get the remains of a Lord-level monster, its usefulness will be greatly reduced."

"This is very simple. Just spread the word that the four major powers are targeting the Obsidian Martial Arts School, and isolate it. Then Lin Qi will know what to do," Wright instructed.

"Then I'll do it right away." Beth's eyes lit up when she heard that.

To make money in the city, cooperation and business with the major forces in the city are indispensable. Once no one cooperates with the Obsidian Martial Arts School, the Obsidian Martial Arts School will naturally not have the money to support its subordinates. In addition, it will be killed as soon as it leaves the city, so the Obsidian Martial Arts School will collapse very quickly.

As Beth spread the news that the four major forces were targeting the Obsidian Martial Arts School, the major forces throughout the City of Light were in an uproar.

Although the major powers had long guessed that the four major powers would not let the Obsidian Martial Arts School go, they did not expect them to go to such extremes.

The four major powers immediately announced a complete blockade of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, and even released a message that anyone who cooperated with the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy would be considered an enemy of the four major powers.

Originally, the major powers in the city did not intend to get involved, and now, considering the influence of the four major powers, it is even less likely that they will have any dealings with the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

City of Light, downtown shops.

"Excellent!" Isaac exclaimed repeatedly as he read the message from Mans. "The four major powers have done a great job this time. They've completely locked themselves into a war of attrition with the Obsidian Martial Arts School. Once they're both exhausted, that's when we'll make our move."

"Boss, among the thousands of young vagrants we've recruited, another one has completed his training. Once he advances to become a martial artist, another one will be able to get into the genius training camp," Mans said with a smile.

"Very good, continue recruiting those young vagrants." Isaac nodded, his eyes burning with a fierce light. "It won't be long before our White Feather Gang becomes the ruler of this City of Light!"

"Yes!" Mans then left the room.

Night falls at the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

Three humans dressed in black cloaks also quietly entered the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

"These four major powers are really ruthless, trying to isolate us right from the start." Lin Qi looked at the message in his hand, then glanced at the three people in black cloaks inside the room. "Elder Meng Wei, does your esteemed leader mean he doesn't intend to join our Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?"

"Master Lin, it's my fault for not completing the task well," Meng Wei said with great shame.

"It's alright, Elder Meng Wei, this can't be entirely blamed on you." Lin Qi looked at Meng Wei, whose face was somewhat pale, and Qiao Hanlan, one of the two disciples, who was missing an arm, and asked curiously, "Elder Meng Wei, what happened to you? How did you get so badly injured?"

After hearing this, Meng Wei remained silent, and Qiao Hanlan also kept quiet, only lowering his head.

However, Xue Jing, a female disciple standing to the side, spoke up: "This was all done by the gang leader and his group. Originally, the master had already made arrangements, and the gang leader and his group were willing to join. But because the four major forces released the news, the gang leader and his group went back on their word. The master thought that since the gang leader and his group had gone back on their word, he wanted to bring some people who were willing to leave with him. But the gang leader and his group said that the master wanted to disrupt the morale of the gang, so they attacked us. In the end, only the three of us escaped. The other hundreds of people who were willing to come were all killed, and several elders who planned to follow were also captured. They are probably all locked up now."

"As we were escaping, the gang leader and his men shouted that if the teacher didn't show up in a day, they would publicly execute the elders, so the teacher planned to go alone from now on..."

"Shut up, Xue Jing!" Meng Wei shouted, seeing that Xue Jing was about to say something.

"But if you go alone, Teacher, you'll definitely die." Xue Jing didn't intend to shut up and said it anyway, "Only the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy can save you and those elders now."

"This matter has nothing to do with the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. This is my own business. You two just need to stay here, and I will naturally be able to rescue those elders when the time comes." Meng Wei glared at Xue Jing, his face very ugly.

Now he only wants his two disciples to be safe. As for sending the Obsidian Martial Arts School to rescue people, that would only embarrass the Obsidian Martial Arts School. Now the four major powers have specifically named the Obsidian Martial Arts School to deal with them. If anyone dares to send people to the Iron Heart Gang's base to rescue people, the four major powers will definitely wipe them all out without hesitation, causing heavy losses to the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

"No! Elder Meng Wei, this is no longer just your problem." Lin Qi's expression darkened as he looked at Meng Wei and said, "Back on Crimson Moon Mountain, I said that you are now a member of our Obsidian Martial Arts School, as are your two disciples. Since the Iron Heart Gang dared to attack you, they have declared war on our Obsidian Martial Arts School. Since they have declared war, our Obsidian Martial Arts School has no reason not to fight back."

"Master Lin, you absolutely cannot act rashly now. The people from the four major powers have already notified all the major powers and spread the word throughout the city. If the Obsidian Martial Arts School sends people to the Iron Heart Gang now, the people from the four major powers will definitely not let it go," Meng Wei advised.

"So what if they're the four major powers?" Lin Qi laughed immediately. "I'm going to take on those four powers!"
