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

Chapter 54 The Shock of the Gray-Clad Gang (Happy New Year!)

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"Since you're in the mood, Chief, let's have two matches. However, if my two companions win in three moves, I hope you'll reconsider the contract. Our Qingque Gang is very sincere."

Flo couldn't help but laugh, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Qi, completely baffled as to what Lin Qi, the leader of the gray-clad gang, was planning.

Fischer and Pap were genuine advanced apprentices, each with a strength of around 630 kilograms and a speed exceeding 20 meters per second. They also both possessed an apprentice-level martial art, making them incomparable to the vagrants in the wild who had reached the advanced apprentice level.

It can be said that even if the two of them were to face the fourteen apprentices of the Gray-Clad Gang now, they could escape unscathed, let alone in a one-on-one fight.

Even if, as Lin Qi requested, the exchange was limited to three moves, Fischer and Pap could easily defeat the apprentice within those three moves.

No matter how you look at it, this competition is meaningless.

Unless Lin Qi, the leader, takes action personally, what can a mid-level apprentice who won't participate in a life-or-death battle prove if he can withstand three moves?

But Flo didn't know that Lin Qi had no intention of going himself. He was betting that the Qingque Gang members wouldn't be able to defeat him in three moves. Currently, players with physical abilities at the beginner level could withstand three moves from advanced apprentices by mastering multiple apprentice-level martial arts techniques.

Especially for Luo Wushang and others who have mastered quasi-martial artist level martial arts, as long as they can block three moves, it is enough to prove the strength of the Gray Clothes Gang apprentices. After all, even the senior apprentices of the Green Sparrow Gang cannot be defeated in three moves. It would be unreasonable to say that the junior apprentices of their martial arts school are not strong enough.

On the training field, as Flo agreed, all the players cheered once again.

"The Master is awesome! He doubled the number of spots with just a word. No wonder he's our Master!"

"I'm so happy! It turns out we misunderstood the Master. He refused us before to secure some benefits for us—twenty spots! Now even we newbies have a chance!"

"Those two seem to be advanced apprentices. Who do you think the Master will send us up?"

The players present were all amazed that Lin Qi had managed to secure double the number of spots for them. They felt that Lin Qi was incredibly kind to them, and even the usually stingy Guild Master seemed much more agreeable to them now.

This scene made the three people on the field, including Flo, suddenly question their existence.

"Flo, do you think there was something wrong with how you expressed yourself before? Is that why they're so happy?" Fischer couldn't help but ask Flo, feeling that Flo must have misspoken, which was why the members of the Grey Clad Gang were so excited.

A gang leader sends more of his men to their deaths, and instead of being angry or resentful, the men cheer and rejoice, thinking that their leader has done the right thing.

Fischer even felt that their Qingque Gang had suffered a great loss by giving up more spots.

"I guess I didn't express myself clearly enough." Flo looked at the cheering players and realized that he must have made a mistake in his expression.

If this were told to people from other gangs, they'd probably slap him across the face to bring him to his senses.

At this moment, Lin Qi turned around and looked at the players present.

"The time to fight for glory has come. How this contract is written depends entirely on you. Who among you wants to step forward and fight for this glory?" Lin Qi paused, trying to instill some fighting spirit in the players by speaking in the words of an NPC. "The winner will receive extra rewards, and you know what the consequences will be if you fail."

As soon as Lin Qi finished speaking, the players present erupted in excitement once again.

"The plot this time is amazing! They actually handed the initiative to us."

"It's not just about handing over the initiative to us; didn't you hear the manager say that the contract's wording depends entirely on our performance?"

"So, if we perform well, we'll get more spots? And if we don't perform well, the number of spots will decrease?"

"I understand. This time, the storyline introduces a difficulty selection option for the dungeon. We'll see if we can unlock a higher difficulty level based on our strength."

"Does that mean we have to win these two matches if we want to unlock the higher difficulty level?"

The crowd kept talking, leaving Flo and his two companions confused, but they managed to grasp the general meaning.

These members of the Gray Clad Gang were very grateful that Lin Qi had given them the power of choice; how many people to send in the end would depend entirely on their performance.

In an instant, Flo and his two companions felt a chill run down their spines. This chill came entirely from the gray-clad gang members present, and they were very familiar with this feeling—the feeling of being targeted by a monster.

"Are all these people crazy?" Fischer looked at the players who were determined to fight for a spot and suddenly wondered if he himself was a little abnormal.

Abnormal gang members are those who don't fight for the gang's interests.

Normal gang members are people who would give their hearts for the gang's interests.

"I'll take on the first battle."

Yi Ye Fuyun stepped forward, his expression conveying the message that the entire matter was in his hands and that the organization could rest assured.

No one objected to this, including Luo Wushang and Fang Zhen. After all, Yi Ye Fuyun was undoubtedly the number one in terms of explosive power, especially after three days of improvement. Yi Ye Fuyun was no longer a prospective apprentice, but a genuine one.

Not only has its strength reached 235.7 kilograms, but after these days of guidance from Mentor No. 1, the Spiral Demon Gun has been perfected to level 5 at 16%, making it even more powerful than before.

The latest novel is first published here!

The tested explosive power can reach approximately 2.5 times.

In other words, a single strike with the Spiral Demon Spear can unleash a force of 824.95 kilograms, which is already at the level of a quasi-martial artist.

Among the experts present, none could completely block this move, so when even Yi Ye Fuyun stepped forward, the others naturally didn't say anything.

"Alright, then I'll be your opponent." Fischer looked at Yi Ye Fuyun, who stepped out from the gray-clad gang, and walked forward with a smile.

According to her powerful perception, the floating cloud in front of her was only a beginner in physical fitness and its strength did not exceed 300 kilograms. It could be said that a single punch from her could take the floating cloud's life.

"Let's begin then." Lin Qi didn't mind and directly announced the start of the first match.

"Wait, aren't your people wearing protective gear?" Flo looked at Lin Qi with great surprise.

At this moment, Yi Ye Fuyun was wearing his signature dark gray long-sleeved T-shirt, and apart from holding an A5-grade black steel long gun, he had nothing else.

Under such circumstances, even a drifting cloud would be severely injured if grazed by Fischl's sword, and could even lose its life if not careful.

"Protective gear? Not needed." Yi Ye Fu Yun shook his head, looked at Fischer, held his spear horizontally, and said in a very pretentious manner, "I, Yi Ye Fu Yun, have fought countless battles in my life and have never worn protective gear. Moreover, since it is a battle, I, Yi Ye Fu Yun, will only go all out and hold nothing back."

"Today's duel between the two of us is not only a matter of determining who is superior, but also a matter of life and death for me!"

As Yi Ye Fuyun finished speaking, the three people present, including Flo, were deeply shocked, especially Fischer, who was competing.

"So, it's not just about determining who's superior, but also about life and death?" Fischl looked at the person before him, who didn't seem to feign indifference to life and death at all. He abandoned his initial disdain and couldn't help but admire him. "Alright! Then let's fight seriously!"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Old Cat wishes everyone a happy new year, good health, and a joyful family reunion!
