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

Chapter 97 Fusion Martial Arts

"Holy crap! 36% for beginners?"

"I must have misheard. I've been here for four days and I'm only at 43% of the beginner level."

"36% mastery in two hours? What exactly was taught in the classroom?"

"Sis, can you teach me? I'll be your little brother from now on!"

Everyone was stunned when they saw the score given by Mentor Number One. They thought Mentor Number One had made a mistake, otherwise the score would be too terrifying.

These players practice like crazy every day, but many of them are only about 50% proficient. Two hours of practice is almost equivalent to two or three days of practice. Their efficiency is simply incredible.

At this moment, not only the players, but even Luo Qi, who had come along, was staring wide-eyed.

Luo Qi was aware of Xiao Ling's talent. She wasn't a genius, but she was considered excellent in the City of Light. However, no matter how excellent she was, it was impossible for her to go from knowing nothing to reaching the beginner level 36 in just one lesson.

Normally, without a dozen or more lessons from experienced martial arts instructors, one simply cannot achieve this level.

"Not bad." Chen Ya was very satisfied with her results.

"Thank you for your guidance, Instructor Chen. Can I have another lesson now?" After a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Ling immediately wanted to schedule another lesson with Chen Ya.

With just one lesson, it's like a rocket launch; with this kind of instruction, you probably won't need ten lessons to reach a proficient level.

To be able to reach the proficiency level of an apprentice-level martial art in the first month of entering high school is something that probably very few students in the entire Zhuguang High School can do.

"Okay, but don't forget to give me a perfect score." Chen Ya was very happy to hear this. She didn't expect the teaching to be so effective, which could actually get the NPC to start a second mission. Now she has 4,000 points in hand. The speed at which she earns points is even faster than the new map.

The players present were all moved to tears when they saw Xiao Ling offer to teach them again.

These points are so easy to earn, it's like grabbing them in a flash.

"I've made up my mind. From now on, I'm going to go all out on leveling up this class. It's practically the best class in the current version."

"That depends on who teaches you. Can you get someone to reach 36% of the beginner level in two hours?"

"I certainly can't, but wouldn't I know if I took a class?"

"Dude, you're awesome! Let's go into this together."

Several players who had already reached the apprentice level, seeing Chen Ya going to class again, suddenly felt that going to the new map was not so appealing anymore, and that staying in the martial arts school was more promising.

Two hours for two thousand points and one hundred contribution points. In a 24-hour day, you only need to attend eight classes a day to earn sixteen thousand points. This is a speed that even the new map can't match.

Not far away, Luo Qi watched Xiao Ling continue her lessons without saying a word and suddenly felt that she must let Luo Shuangyan take lessons as well. Although the price was a bit higher, the effect was far beyond what other martial arts instructors could achieve.

Moreover, with such a teaching effect from the Obsidian Martial Arts School, the Obsidian Shop is sure to make a fortune, and its reputation will even resound throughout the entire suburbs.

"No wonder." Luo Qi suddenly realized why Lin Qi didn't care about transportation matters; it turned out he simply didn't care about that little bit of money.

Thinking about this, Luo Qi felt that he had to have a serious talk with Lin Qi. If the reputation of this martial arts school could be established, there would be no problem for the Obsidian Martial Arts School to establish itself in the suburbs of the city in the future.

Thanks to the teaching effectiveness of the Obsidian Martial Arts School, they may even get to know the big shots in the city in the future. At that time, the gangs in the suburbs will have to give face to the Obsidian Martial Arts School, not to mention the mere White Feather Gang.

Meanwhile, Lin Qi, who was in the owner's lounge on the first floor, also heard a system notification.

System: Congratulations, host, for completing the advanced hidden quest "Martial Arts Should Not Be Lightly Passed On". You are rewarded with one forced martial arts fusion.

System: Congratulations, host, for triggering the second advanced hidden mission, "Famous Throughout the Region." This mission allows you to teach the people of this world to become martial artists. The reward is a forced high-level martial arts fusion. You can choose a martial arts technique created by a player and forcefully fuse it with a martial arts technique you already possess. There is a higher chance of fusing it into an even higher-level martial arts technique, allowing you to directly reach the perfect level.

"Is it a direct path to perfection?" Lin Qi looked at the new advanced hidden quest and was also very tempted.

Reaching mastery from proficiency in martial arts is no easy feat, let alone the even greater chance of fusing it into more advanced techniques.

However, seeing that the people of this world were being taught to become martial artists, Lin Qi could only sigh.

The number of martial artists in the world of high martial arts is extremely small. This can be seen just by looking at the various wild gangs and suburban gangs. There are so many extreme apprentices and quasi-martial artists, but in the end, only one in a hundred can become a martial artist. Not to mention that he is not even a martial artist now.

"Forget it, let's fuse the martial arts techniques first." Lin Qi shook his head and turned his gaze to the system panel.

He had been eyeing the player's self-created martial arts skills, but unfortunately the system couldn't extract them. If he were to learn them himself, he would easily get injured, which would be a loss.

But it would be so much more convenient to be able to learn it directly now.

"Although the Wildfire Spear Technique that I currently possess is powerful, it is not easy to carry a long spear. I should choose swordsmanship instead." Lin Qi chose Sword Light Slash, a sword technique that Luo Wushang had recently created herself, with almost no hesitation. It can be said to be a martial art that enhances sword energy and has also reached the fifth level.

System: Please select a martial art that the host is proficient in.

"Lightning Palm." Lin Qi directly chose the Lightning Palm, which was currently the most suitable.

The Sword Light Slash is actually a martial art created by Luo Wushang by incorporating a portion of the Lightning Palm. Now, with the system forcibly fusing it, the effect should be quite good.

System: Merging begins 1%...10%...20%...

After Lin Qi waited for more than ten minutes, the system finally completed its integration.

System: Congratulations, host, you have mastered the advanced martial arts skill "Thunder Flash" and have automatically reached the proficiency level.

The latest novel is first published here!

Suddenly, Lin Qi felt countless memories flood his brain, making him feel like his head was about to explode. After a minute, the memory subsided.

"A flash of lightning, it really is a flash of lightning." After a brief headache, Lin Qi was overjoyed.

This lightning flash is significantly stronger than Luo Wushang's self-created sword light slash. The pure sword energy is infused with lightning force, and the speed and power of the sword energy are twice that of the sword light slash, truly reaching three times the power and one time the speed. Moreover, the maximum attack range of this sword can reach twenty meters.

It should be noted that even a sword light slash enhanced with sword energy has a maximum attack range of only five meters, while his attack range is twenty meters. The enemy would never have imagined that his attack range could be so far.

It's like the combat has shifted from close-quarters to ranged attacks, significantly increasing the freedom of combat.

"It seems we should encourage players to create more powerful martial arts skills in the future. We might as well announce the new rewards for creating martial arts skills after the veteran players return. Also, if someone creates three martial arts skills at the warrior level, they will automatically be promoted to an elite disciple." Lin Qi felt it was necessary to increase the players' enthusiasm for creating their own martial arts skills so that the martial arts skills he could fuse in the future would be even more powerful.

With just the Thunder Flash he currently possesses, Lin Qi feels he can fight against a martial artist. After all, a martial artist's internal organs aren't made of iron, and ordinary force can hardly withstand Thunder Flash.

As the sun sets, in a woodland on the outskirts of the City of Light.

Two large tricycles traveled along a dilapidated gravel road, carrying players wielding long spears. Leading the way were Fang Zhen and Li Ranxing, each driving one of the tricycles, transporting the energy ore from the past two days back to the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

"These energy ores are getting harder and harder to mine," the Border Gunner said with a sigh, looking at the two trucks of energy ore. "I could mine more than a ton on the first day, but now I only get six or seven hundred kilograms a day. If we wait for the next batch of players to arrive, there will be even less to mine."

"We'll definitely make a lot of money in the early stages of exploring the new map," Fang Zhen said with a smile. "If we don't make any money then, we can still explore the Maze Tunnel. That's a super large dungeon. We've only just entered it now, so the profits will definitely not be lower than exploring the new map."

Fang Zhen was full of confidence in the future of the mech team. The new map had already earned them a lot in the past few days, and they were fully equipped with weapons and equipment. In addition, their team now had five advanced apprentices, and the others were also close to being advanced apprentices. They could easily explore the maze tunnels in the future.

The team members all smiled. They had really struck gold this time. Now their weapons had all been upgraded to A5 grade, something they could never have imagined back in the martial arts school.

While Fang Zhen and his group of more than ten people were chatting on the path, a slender woman with three large eyes was observing them through binoculars from a high ground a kilometer away in the woods.

"Jacques, the brothers are all ready. Shall we make our move?" The burly man, who also had three eyes and was wearing A6-level protective gear, asked the slender woman in a low voice.

"The bounty offered by the White Feather Gang this time is quite good. They don't have many people this time, only sixteen. Pass the word down and prepare to take action!" Jacques put away his binoculars and nodded.

"Great! I've been waiting here for ages!" the burly man exclaimed excitedly.

This group consisted of over fifty people, all of whom were at least intermediate-level apprentices or experts. Their leader, Jacques, was even a near-martial artist at the limit. Moreover, they were well-equipped. Under normal circumstances, they should have already hijacked the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's convoy from a few days ago. However, considering that the master of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy was in the convoy at the time, they did not take action and waited until now.

Now we can finally get started!
