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

Chapter 72 The Monster's Lair?

"How dare you!"

Ghana was quite surprised to see Fang Zhen approaching him. He hadn't expected this intermediate apprentice to be so fearless, and he swung his giant axe down with a sudden chop.

Apprentice-level martial arts technique: Savage Bear!

With a single axe strike, the power doubles.

boom!

The spear and the giant axe collided, and the floor beneath their feet instantly cracked, the impact reverberating so powerfully that everyone on the training ground could clearly feel the vibrations in the air.

Immediately after blocking Ghana's axe, Fang Zhen was sent flying several meters away, taking several steps back before regaining his balance.

"As expected of the BOSS, his strength is truly formidable." Fang Zhen's hands, gripping the spear, trembled, but his gaze towards Ghana was filled with excitement. "But he's a force to be reckoned with!"

Ghana's axe strike, while much stronger than the one-horned gold-devouring rat's, is still a human being, not a monster. Even with protective gear, ordinary weapons can still injure him. Overall, he is much easier to deal with than the one-horned gold-devouring rat.

"Is it just a minor injury?"

Ghana looked at Fang Zhen, who had stood up again, and was filled with surprise.

He used an axe strike imbued with martial arts techniques. Even a senior apprentice would be unable to wield a weapon after using martial arts techniques to block it. However, Fang Zhen, a mid-level apprentice, could not only wield a weapon but also continue to fight, which was simply unbelievable.

"Can we fight again?"

At this moment, not only was Ghana somewhat surprised, but Qin Mu, who had rushed over to save the day, also looked at Fang Zhen with some astonishment.

Even a near-martial artist like Ghana would be suppressed by a beginner like him, even if they used the same martial arts techniques. He never expected that a mid-level apprentice could withstand Ghana head-on.

However, before Qin Mu could recover from his surprise, he saw several figures wearing dark gray T-shirts surround Ghana, showing no sign of wavering despite Fang Zhen, the intermediate apprentice, being repelled.

"His axe is very strong, don't try to withstand it head-on. The three of us intermediate apprentices will hold him off, and the rest of you will look for an opportunity." Luo Wushang reminded everyone, and then she and Zhang Qingwei attacked Ghana directly.

Ghana couldn't help but laugh in anger as he watched Luo Wushang and the others surround and attack him.

A dignified quasi-martial artist was targeted as a hunting party by a few intermediate apprentices. How much did they underestimate him as a quasi-martial artist?

Before Ghana could use the Wild Bear again, the A6-grade standard longsword in Luo Wushang's hand lit up. Yes, it lit up like a light, with nine silvery-white rays that flashed by in an instant.

Martial arts skill of the martial artist level!

Even Ghana dared not be careless against such an extremely fast attack that exceeded the limits of neural reaction. He used his powerful bear form to deal with it and instinctively swung his giant axe to block it.

Despite being a giant axe weighing over 200 kilograms, it was like a wooden stick in Ghana's hands. He used the huge axe head to block all of Luo Wushang's stabbing attacks.

However, with each strike, Ghana felt his hands go numb from the impact. After nine strikes in a row, Ghana almost lost his grip on the giant axe.

While Ghana was defending against Luo Wushang, Zhang Qingwei also came up behind Ghana. Her A6-level longsword transformed into five sword beams, which merged into one and struck Ghana directly in the back.

Martial arts skill of the Overlapping Wave Blade!

At this moment, the Wave Blade possessed three times the destructive power of the Starfire Blade, its strength being no less than that of the Starfire Blade.

"Damn it!"

Although Gana had already spotted Zhang Qingwei, he was too weak to use his giant axe to defend against Luo Wushang's attack. However, Gana was a quasi-martial artist after all, and with a nimble turn, he held the giant axe horizontally in front of his chest, directly blocking Zhang Qingwei's attack.

boom!

The force of over 1600 kilograms sent Ghana staggering back several steps, and the giant axe in his hand trembled.

Just as Ghana breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Hu, who was over two meters tall, struck Ghana on the back with a palm strike. The wind from the palm strike was like thunder.

Even Qin Mu, who had rushed over from a distance, couldn't help but admire the precision with which Zhao Hu struck.

"You're asking for it!"

Ghana hadn't even regained his footing yet when he saw another junior apprentice attacking. He was truly enraged. He stomped his foot to steady himself and, with a trembling hand, met the attack with a palm strike.

In Ghana's view, a novice apprentice, even if he used martial arts techniques, could not possibly have a strength exceeding his normal strength.

boom!

Ghana suddenly felt an unprecedented stinging pain in his palm, as if his entire arm was not his own. He then took two steps back, and the arm that had been clashed with his palm also fell down, with blood dripping continuously onto the floor of the martial arts gym.

As this scene unfolded, everyone fighting, especially the experts from the White Feather Gang, looked at Ghana with deep confusion.

Although Ghana has only recently been promoted to the quasi-martial artist level, he is a genuine quasi-martial artist.

If this were to be said, it would be hard to believe that a quasi-martial artist was being suppressed by three apprentices below the intermediate level.

"Could it be that the deputy leader of Ghana is not in good condition?"

After much thought, the experts of the White Feather Gang concluded that only this one reason could explain it.

However, only Ghana, who had fought against him, knew exactly what his situation was.

"A martial arts technique at the martial artist level?"

Ghana glanced at Luo Wushang and the other two present, as well as Fang Zhen, who was preparing to charge again. Although he was extremely skeptical, he was convinced that a few apprentices below the intermediate level could suppress him.

There is no other possibility other than martial arts skills at the level of a martial artist.

Four apprentices who have mastered martial arts skills at the martial artist level—who would believe that?

"He's injured! Quick, get First Blood!"

It's unclear who among the players said that, but the experts from the three teams present all attacked Ghana simultaneously, with more than six people using martial arts techniques at the warrior level.

A single spark can start a prairie fire!

Dot the stars!

Wave-like Blade!

Lightning Palm!

"Damn it! Just how many monsters does this Gray-Clad Gang raise?!"

This scene made Ghana's scalp tingle. The martial arts techniques these people used were the same ones he had just fully experienced. Although he could become stronger with the help of the Savage Bear, he could not face six people whose explosive power was above his normal level at the same time.

The latest novel is first published here!

Or rather, these people in front of us are not apprentices below the intermediate level; they are all beings who can rival those at the ultimate apprentice level.

The fight against the ultimate apprentice is nothing in itself; the key is that these people use different martial arts techniques at the martial artist level.

Even the major gangs in the suburbs wouldn't easily pass on a martial arts skill at the level of a martial artist. Normally, the major gangs in the suburbs would only possess one or two martial arts skills at the level of a martial artist.

A gang that masters four martial arts techniques at the level of martial artists is something that even the big gangs in the suburbs wouldn't dare to dream of.

However, these are not the most crucial points. The higher the level of a martial arts technique, the more difficult it is to learn, especially martial arts techniques at the martial artist level. These techniques are prepared for martial artists, not for apprentices.

Even with personal instruction, martial arts skills at the master level can present various challenges during learning. Only with significant brain development can one truly master them. Therefore, the difficulty of learning martial arts skills at the master level during the apprentice level is such that perhaps only one in a hundred apprentices can achieve this.

But that's exactly what happened to him.

One person would be one thing, but now there are more than six people, all of whom have mastered martial arts skills at the martial artist level.

This made Ghana wonder if he was still half asleep, which was why he had such a terrible dream.

Although Ghana thought about it a lot, it was actually just a fleeting moment.

In that instant, Ghana turned and ran without hesitation.

Before Ghana could run more than a few steps, an arrow and an alloy shovel flew precisely toward him, forcing him to raise his hand to deflect them.

In that moment of pause, a not-so-tall figure suddenly swept over, making Ghana want to curse who these gray-clad gang members were, that they could accurately predict his movements.

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

Ghana saw the figure rushing towards him from behind, his eyes filled with coldness.

He was helpless against the previous siege, but now that Lin Qi, a mid-level apprentice, was leading the charge, he dared to cause trouble; he was simply courting death.

Wild bear!

Ghana didn't tolerate Lin Qi charging at him with a gun. He suddenly chopped down at Lin Qi with his restored hands, the force of which exceeded 1800 kilograms. Even a unicorn gold-devouring rat would be knocked back, let alone an intermediate apprentice.

But suddenly a flame appeared, much brighter than the starlight Fang Zhen had used before, and even a faint trace of scorching heat emanated from it.

A single spark can start a prairie fire!

Lin Qi's original strength was over 600 kilograms, and with the boost of the three times the power of the Starfire, his strength instantly increased to over 2400 kilograms.

boom!

With just the clash between the spear and the giant axe, the giant axe in Ghana's hand flew out.

"you!"

Ghana stared in disbelief at the flying giant axe and at Lin Qi, who was only 1.8 meters tall.

How could he believe that a mid-level apprentice could suppress him head-on?

Before Ghana could recover from the shock, Lin Qi struck out with a palm, and a thunderous sound resounded across the training ground. A white light landed on Ghana's chest armor, and the A6-level armor was even slightly dented.

Martial arts skill of the warrior level: Lightning Palm!

Immediately afterward, Gana flew more than ten meters and landed directly on the wall of the martial arts school. Mouthfuls of blood kept spitting out of Gana's mouth. Gana wanted to say something, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

He then collapsed to the ground, completely stopped breathing, and was clearly dead beyond any doubt.
