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

Chapter 171 Prestige and Invitation

The city of light, the Blanc Villa in the city center.

In the training room, which was entirely built of energy ore, a three-eyed woman with silver hair and a metal mask was experiencing a surge of energy. Waves of heat violently impacted the surrounding walls, causing the entire training room to tremble slightly.

"Congratulations, Miss, on successfully advancing to the Martial Artist level with your advanced secret technique!"

Inside the training room, an elderly man whose qi and blood clearly reached the intermediate level of a martial artist looked at the silver-haired woman who had successfully advanced, his eyes filled with shock and deep awe.

The Blanc family, a long-established martial arts family in the City of Light, unexpectedly saw its second daughter, Estina, from a branch family successfully become a martial artist with advanced secret techniques after many years of decline. After entering the genius training camp, she is sure to become one of the most dazzling geniuses in the camp.

"Has there been any important news from the City of Light lately?" Estina opened her eyes and looked at the old man calmly.

"There is some important news." The old man nodded and reported, "But the biggest news is only three. One is that two more genius martial artists have emerged from the Half-Scale Clan. One of them has been spotted by an instructor from the Genius Training Camp and has been directly accepted as a disciple."

"Did you get noticed by the instructors at the training camp?" Estina was slightly surprised after hearing this.

As a place that gathers all the geniuses of the City of Light, being a mentor in the Genius Training Camp is proof of strength. The weakest among them are high-level Bone Forging Realm warriors, and the strongest are even above the Bone Forging Realm.

Many talented martial artists who graduate from the genius training camp generally only reach the Bone Forging Realm. Very few can actually reach the high level of the Bone Forging Realm; usually, only one appears every few sessions.

Generally, the geniuses who can be noticed by mentors at the high level of the Bone Forging Realm are those whose potential mentors can confirm have reached the high level of the Bone Forging Realm. Otherwise, as mentors of a genius training camp, there would be no need for them to take on a disciple who is of little help to them.

"Besides this big news, there are two other pieces of news. One is that the four forces of North Ao, Bain, Peiwen, and the Gorilla Gang have announced that they will target a wild force called Obsidian Martial Arts School. This matter has already caused a great stir in the city," the old butler said.

"Four major forces are targeting the Obsidian Martial Arts School together?" Estina asked, somewhat taken aback. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Some time ago, she even tried to recruit Lin Qi, the master of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, but Lin Qi refused. She originally wanted to wait for Lin Qi to gradually realize how difficult the path of a martial artist is. The targeting of the Gorilla Gang is something that a newly promoted martial artist cannot resist.

It hasn't been that long, yet Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has been targeted by four major forces in the suburbs. No matter how you look at it, it seems like a joke.

What makes a newly established wilderness gang worthy of such treatment?

"Miss Tina, I can assure you that this information is accurate," the old man said with great certainty. "Furthermore, the Obsidian Martial Arts School accomplished another major feat early this morning, which is the third important piece of news I have to report."

"What did they do?" Estina asked curiously.

"This morning, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy wiped out the Iron Heart Gang on the outskirts of the city, along with some elite experts from the four major forces. They even killed the Iron Heart Gang's leader, Fu Yihai, in the street," the old man said slowly. "Now, all the major forces in the city believe that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy will replace the Iron Heart Gang and become the number one force in the human race's outskirts of the city."

"Eliminate the Iron Heart Gang? Kill the gang leader Fu Yihai in the street?" Estina was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Although the Iron Heart Gang is located in the suburbs of the City of Light, it is only a second-rate gang, far inferior to the first-rate Gorilla Gang or Phosphorus Fire Gang. However, it is still much stronger than many third-rate gangs in the suburbs. It is not something that can be destroyed at will. Not to mention that even a first-rate gang in the suburbs would have a hard time killing Fu Yihai, a beginner-level martial artist in the street.

The fact that Obsidian Martial Arts School could achieve this is enough to prove that its strength is comparable to those top-tier gangs in the suburbs.

The old man continued, "Because of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's amazing performance, and because the academy's master, Lin Qi, is a certified genius by the association, the master intends to have you, Miss, engage in some business cooperation with the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. He plans to entrust some transportation business to the Academy to ease the tension between you and Lin Qi. After all, you and Lin Qi will both be entering the genius training camp in the future, so there's no need to make things unpleasant."

"Okay, I understand." Estina nodded, fully understanding the head of the family's thoughts.

The rise of Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is now foreseeable. As long as Lin Qi does not perish, Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is likely to become another major force in the city. Although the Bolan family is not afraid, there is no need for them to be hostile to Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

By having her step in and allocate some of the Blanc family's transportation business to the Obsidian Martial Arts School, the unpleasantness of Crimson Moon Mountain was finally resolved.

Throughout the City of Light, it wasn't just the Blanc family who thought this way; many other wilderness and suburban forces also sent people to the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, intending to cooperate with it.

After all, the Obsidian Martial Arts School's performance in this morning's battle was too amazing. Even now, many forces in the suburbs suspect that the battle in the valley in the video was likely orchestrated by the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

If this is true, then the strength of the Obsidian Martial Arts School may not be inferior to that of the four major forces combined. Such a powerful Obsidian Martial Arts School should naturally be courted and cooperated with.

City of Light, Obsidian Martial Arts School.

With the return of Meng Wei and others, large quantities of loot from the Iron Heart Gang's base, which had been looted by the players, were brought back, leaving Lin Qi, who was inside the martial arts hall, somewhat bewildered.

He sent players to rescue people with Meng Wei and his group, which completely emptied the Iron Heart Gang's base. Was he really that ruthless?

However, it must be said that these spoils of war from the Iron Heart Gang have been of great help to the current Obsidian Martial Arts School.

The seized items included over two thousand bottles of Type I energy potion, over eight hundred bottles of Type I healing potion, and over twenty tons of blood essence rice. These are all important resources for cultivating local residents in the future.

Without these things, it would be impossible to train and recruit local residents from scratch.

In addition to the Type 1 potion, there were also twenty bottles of Type 2 energy potions and twenty bottles of Type 2 healing potions, which were key to his rapid improvement.

He was not a player after all, and he didn't have that many energy crystals to use. As long as he was stimulated by the energy of energy ore, even if he mastered the second level of forging, his body would still be injured. It was just a matter of how serious the injury was, which would seriously affect the speed of improvement.

To speed things up, the only option is to use mild Type II energy potions, and to recover from injuries using Type II healing potions. This is why he only extracted the forging methods from Luo Wushang and Ye Qinglu today, without actually practicing or improving them.

These twenty bottles of Type II energy potion and twenty bottles of Type II healing potion are enough for him to cultivate for twenty days, and he will have no problem advancing to the intermediate level of martial artist.

"Master, a man named Qin Mu wishes to see you." Meng Wei entered the lounge and reported respectfully.

"Brother Qin Mu, do you want to see me? Please come in quickly!" Lin Qi nodded.

Since the destruction of the Iron Heart Gang, various forces in the wilderness and suburbs have been sending people to congratulate him. He has now entrusted all these matters to Meng Wei, which can be said to have been a great help to him.

Shortly afterward, Qin Mu, led by Meng Wei, arrived at the lounge.

After Qin Mu entered the rest room, Lin Qi clearly felt that Qin Mu's blood and energy were no longer comparable to those of a quasi-martial artist.

"Brother Qin Mu, you've become a martial artist?" Lin Qi was quite surprised to see Qin Mu looking refreshed and smiling.

"Yes, thanks to the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, Hou Fei and I made some progress in the city of Azure Sky, which allowed us to successfully advance to the Martial Artist level." Qin Mu nodded and smiled. "However, I'm not here today for that. I'm here to tell Brother Lin some good news."

"Good news? What good news?" Lin Qi asked curiously, looking at the excited Qin Mu.

"You should know about the Genius Training Camp, right?" Qin Mu said slowly. "A prominent figure from our human race who graduated from the Genius Training Camp this year plans to form a wilderness hunting team. After learning about you, he intends to invite you to join his hunting team. Are you interested?"
