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

Chapter 76 New Professions

Obsidian Martial Arts School, Master's Lounge.

"Psychic magic? What is that?"

Lin Qi looked at the ecstatic Ye Qinglu, but his heart was filled with curiosity about the spiritual magic.

During this time, he spent a lot of time learning about the world of martial arts online, especially about martial artists. He investigated everything he could, but he had never heard of any magical techniques.

I do know quite a bit about visualization techniques for improving one's mental state.

"Could it be a form of visualization?"

Lin Qi glanced at the metal plate on the table and felt that the possibility was quite high. The metal plate was very mysterious; at least he had never heard of such a method of obtaining knowledge through blood.

Otherwise, the City of Light wouldn't still be spreading martial arts techniques through paper or electronic forms.

This method, which requires people to spend a lot of time memorizing, is like making someone memorize an entire book. It is many times less efficient than direct knowledge transmission, so it is impossible for metal plate technology not to emerge.

However, this technology has never been recorded in the City of Light, indicating that the City of Light does not possess this technology.

According to the records of the City of Light, although the rise of human martial arts is relatively recent, many aspects of human martial arts come from ancient relics.

The metal plate is very likely an artifact from ancient ruins.

Currently, the records related to mental aspects in the world of high martial arts, namely the visualization method, can enhance spirit and willpower. In a sense, it is indeed a secret method for enhancing the spirit.

"This mental technique is truly amazing! It allows one to freely manipulate the internal energy through mental power. Unfortunately, my mental strength is insufficient right now, so I can't manipulate it at all." After excitedly trying it out, Ye Qinglu looked at Lin Qi and said, "Master, I want to exchange for the Star Explosion Visualization Technique to enhance my mental power."

"To freely mobilize the internal energy formed by the mind?" Lin Qi was stunned when he heard Ye Qinglu's whisper, but he still instinctively took out a copy of the Star Explosion Visualization Method and gave it to Ye Qinglu.

It wasn't until Ye Qinglu happily left the lounge with the Star Explosion Visualization Method that Lin Qi finally focused his attention on the metal plate, feeling an indescribable shock.

The kind of strength that can be mastered by martial arts masters is generally a power that can only be mastered by martial arts experts.

Only those who become martial artists can skillfully use this power; those below the level of martial artist can only use it step by step according to martial arts techniques. This is the biggest difference between martial artists and those below the level of martial artist.

However, the metal plate in front of him contained instructions on how to master the internal energy generated within the body. This technique was virtually invincible against those below the level of a martial artist.

The reason why force is so powerful is that it cannot be defended against; even protective gear cannot stop it unless the force is countered by the same force.

Although martial arts techniques at the martial artist level allow apprentices to use their strength, using these techniques is like using a powerful move; it's not something you can do whenever you want. It requires a certain preparation process, and if your body is unstable, you can't use it at all.

But it's different if you can freely mobilize your strength.

Although martial artists far surpass quasi-martial artists in strength and speed, a quasi-martial artist cannot withstand a single blow from a martial artist of equal strength. This is because a martial artist's every strike carries powerful force.

Every move is imbued with power, requiring no preparation and can be used even when the body is unsteady, making it impossible for aspiring martial artists to resist.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi couldn't help but open his palm, wanting to learn some spiritual secrets.

All five extractions for today have been used; if you want to learn, you'll have to do it yourself.

As Lin Qi memorized the secret techniques from the metal plate, he couldn't help but try to use the methods to mobilize his own strength.

He was completely different from Ye Qinglu. According to the mental techniques, there was no danger in learning them. It was like a person learning to walk after birth. At first, it would be clumsy, but once you got used to it, you could make your strength as strong as your arms.

The stronger one's mental strength, the greater the power one can control within oneself.

To learn this mental secret technique, one needs a mental strength of 10, while the average person's mental strength is approximately 5.

Lin Qi's Star Explosion Visualization Technique has now reached 39%, and his level of sensitivity, especially in mental perception, far surpasses that of ordinary people. He can even roughly judge a person's strength level.

In Lin Qi's opinion, his mental strength should have reached 10.

After more than ten minutes of trying, everything went as Lin Qi had expected. He successfully mobilized the internal energy, which was just like his hands and feet. Although he was not used to controlling it, he could concentrate the energy in any part of his body.

Lin Qi even had the feeling that this force could not only be concentrated in one place in his body, but could also be mobilized.

"go!"

Lin Qi struck a helmet on the table with his palm from half a meter away.

boom!

The helmet flew off and rolled several times on the ground.

"This force can really be projected outwards!"

Lin Qi stared in shock at the helmet on the ground.

Even martial artists might not be able to unleash their full power, yet he, someone whose actual skill level wasn't even that of a senior apprentice, accomplished it with ease.

Although this force is very weak, it can only exert a force of about one or two hundred kilograms, and the effect is weaker the farther it is released. At present, he can release it at most two or three meters, but it is still amazing.

Those below the level of martial artist are completely unable to resist attacks of force. If they were suddenly hit like this by their opponent during a battle, there would be no way to avoid it. And the force of one or two hundred kilograms hitting their internal organs would be unbearable even for a quasi-martial artist.

No wonder Ghana treasures it so much that he dares not let the metal plate leave his body.

If Ghana hadn't lacked mental strength and been unable to draw upon his power, the outcome of the previous battle would likely have been completely different.

"With this method, one can truly say that one is invincible below the level of a martial artist."

The latest novel is first published here!

Lin Qi couldn't help but want to spread this magical technique to all the players immediately, but he quickly gave up on the idea.

This mental technique requires sufficient mental strength, meaning that players who haven't mastered the Star Explosion Visualization Technique will be unable to learn it.

Because of the battle with the White Feather Gang, players have gained a lot of points. Many players have chosen to exchange these points for the next level of the Stone Shattering Fist and Leopard Shadow Step, which are martial arts skills that players need to practice a lot.

Not to mention that for players nowadays, improving their breathing technique is the most important thing, otherwise, with their current level of breathing technique, it would be difficult to improve further.

Therefore, we cannot allow players to be distracted by practicing spirit magic right now.

Lin Qi then went to the notice board in the training ground and posted the conditions for exchanging the mental magic.

Mental cultivation techniques allow individuals with strong mental power to freely manipulate the internal energy. The stronger the mental power, the greater the energy that can be manipulated. Those without mental talent are not advised to cultivate this technique. (Exchange requires inner disciple status, 20000 points, and 500 contribution points.)

The 20,000-point threshold is enough to stop most players from even trying, unless they are very confident in their own talent. Otherwise, it would be much more cost-effective to directly exchange for the Lightning Palm.

"Sis, is this the secret technique you were talking about?" After reading the introduction, Yi Ye Fu Yun was quite excited. "This secret technique is pretty good. It feels like a new class in a game update. This new class is really strong. It mainly uses physical strength to fight. At this stage, it is simply invincible among its peers."

When Yi Ye Fuyun mentioned the new class, many players present were visibly excited, never expecting that the game developers would introduce a new class after just one main storyline episode.

"It's true that this new profession is very powerful, but it also has many limitations. The strength of our own strength is closely related to our physical fitness, and the strength of our ability to mobilize our strength depends on our mental strength." Ragnarok analyzed from the side, while also saying regretfully, "In other words, if you want to unleash powerful combat power, you must cultivate your mental strength while improving your physical fitness. If either of them is weak, it won't work."

"It feels like this new profession is designed purely for the top tier. For us older folks, it's already difficult enough to improve our physical fitness and keep up with the top tier. We simply don't have that much time to improve our mental abilities. Only the top tier experts might be able to do both."

The elderly people present nodded in agreement. The new professions that were opened up this time were indeed impressive, but it was already difficult for them to catch up. If they had to spend a lot of time improving their mental abilities, they didn't know how long it would take to catch up with the top tier.

"Cultivating the spirit and mobilizing the body's strength?" Li Ranxing, who had just logged in, looked at the notification bar, his eyes shining. "This new profession is quite suitable for me."

Through the battles in the maze tunnels, Li Ranxing had already experienced the benefits of internal force. Not to mention, he usually focused on improving his Star Explosion Visualization Technique, hoping to make a breakthrough in his skills on the Mech Continent. He didn't care at all about whether or not he was catching up with the top tier.

The new profession perfectly meets all his requirements, allowing him to spend a lot of time improving his spirit and combat power.

Among the newcomers, a young girl was also very interested in this new profession.

"Guys, a new class is out today!" Xiao Yuan announced to the seemingly nonexistent audience. "Since I'm a newbie myself, I'll make a guide for the new class, so please pay close attention!"

Time passed, and six days went by while the human nomads in the abandoned zone were on guard against attacks from the White Feather Gang. In the end, not only did the White Feather Gang not come, but even the Feather Clan did not come. On the contrary, the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had been nearly 90% repaired and had become a magnificent landmark building in the human abandoned zone.

"Master, all thirty disciples are ready. Shall we depart for Crimson Moon Mountain now?" Zhang Qingwei approached Lin Qi in front of the medium-sized transport vehicle and asked respectfully.

"Let's go! Get all thirty people on the bus!" Lin Qi nodded as he looked at the players who were lined up.

As Lin Qi gave the order, the thirty selected players, under the envious gazes of the other players, all walked into the cargo box of the medium-sized transport vehicle, their faces filled with undisguised excitement and anticipation.
