"This..."

Lin Qi was eager to start the battle immediately, leaving Meng Wei at a loss for words.

Although he felt deeply moved, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall faced four major forces. If a fight really broke out, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall would be doomed.

"You've all worked hard today, so go rest first. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the Iron Heart Gang to demand our people!"

Seeing Meng Wei still wanted to dissuade him, Lin Qi sent Meng Wei and the other two to rest, without intending to explain too much to them.

Those elders from the Iron Heart Gang who wished to join the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall definitely had to be rescued, especially someone like Meng Wei, who was willing to work for the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

He greatly appreciated Meng Wei, the legend of Chasing Light City, who had become a martial artist through sheer determination. With the right training technique and resources, his future achievements would be immense. Lin Qi even considered letting Meng Wei manage the cultivated local residents in the future, so he couldn't let Meng Wei lose heart.

The first step for the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to cultivate local residents was to establish prestige.

Currently, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall might not be able to handle the four major forces, but dealing with the Iron Heart Gang wasn't an issue.

Next, he just needed to wait for the supply convoy to return, and tomorrow morning he would have Meng Wei take people to the Iron Heart Gang.

Inside the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's second-floor lounge.

"Jinger, you shouldn't have said that." Meng Wei looked at Xue Jing, feeling quite helpless. "Once the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall heads to the Iron Heart Gang tomorrow, it's bound to suffer heavy losses. How can we face living here afterwards?"

"If it comes to a fight tomorrow, I'll just give my life." Xue Jing had no regrets and had no intention of admitting wrongdoing.

"Master, I think Jinger did well. At least this way we can see who Hall Master Lin truly is." Qiao Hanlan, who had lost an arm, smiled and said. "You used to think the old Gang Leader was great and served the Iron Heart Gang for years. But the result? Now, Hall Master Lin is willing to help in such a crisis. Even if I lose my life, I think it's worth it."

"Fine, tomorrow I might as well risk my old life." Meng Wei nodded, reluctantly admitting that he had been blind before, but fortunately, not this time.

As the three discussed how to rescue the elder the next morning, the entire lounge suddenly shook.

"What's happening?"

"An earthquake?"

"No, the Qi and Blood fluctuation is strong!"

"Could it be that someone broke through to become a martial artist?"

Meng Wei felt a significant Qi and Blood fluctuation around, not something a quasi-martial artist could compare with. The only possibility was that someone had broken through to become a martial artist.

Thinking of this, Meng Wei led his two disciples out of the lounge.

At this moment, many players had already walked out of their rooms on the second-floor lounge, each curiously looking toward the room with the strongest fluctuations.

"Has someone broken through so quickly again?" Fang Zhen looked at the room with intense fluctuations, feeling overwhelming envy.

He had personally witnessed the power of martial artists through videos uploaded by players on the official forum.

Simply beyond belief.

Luo Wushang had just been promoted to an Initial Stage Martial Artist, yet could confront an Initial Stage Martial Artist level BOSS head-on. There's no way not to be envious.

After all, the drops from killing a Martial Artist level BOSS were exceptionally rich, immediately acquiring B2 level battle armor, making fighting small monsters as easy as chopping vegetables.

Now that another breakthrough had occurred, how could it not make people anxious?

"Whose room is this?" Zhao Hu asked curiously.

"Haha, it's my sister's!" One Leaf Floating Cloud laughed, "Now our team also has a martial artist!"

Luo Wushang's stunning performance in the valley, and Fang Zhen's team member Chen Ya performing miraculous feats, taking down a Martial Artist level BOSS with just one arrow, followed by Mythical Paradise's way to perish with martial artists, really panicked him.

Originally, they could rank among the T1 level teams, but now they've dropped to T2 level, making recruiting difficult.

But now it's good, my sister Ye Qinglu has become a martial artist, and our team has returned to T1 level.

"Are all the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall disciples promoted to martial artists like this?" Meng Wei looked at the chatting players, feeling stunned.

He had spent a fortune renting a Martial Artist Association's Cultivation Room when he was promoted to martial artist and used a hard-to-get Type Two Energy Potion, barely making the cut.

It's hard to imagine a Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall member deciding to be promoted to martial artist in such a rudimentary environment. It was daring death.

However, soon after, the lounge door opened, and Ye Qinglu walked out, with waves of heat rolling in all directions, clearly indicating a successful promotion.

"Is becoming a martial artist such an easy thing now?" Yakro looked at Ye Qinglu, dumbfounded.

Luo Wushang's promotion to a martial artist was already incredible, much more so now.

This made Yakro, who had been stuck at the Extreme Quasi-Martial Artist level, feel a sudden urge to break through to martial artist.

"A martial artist! Promoted this quickly?" Qiao Hanlan felt the intense Qi and Blood emanating from Ye Qinglu, his mouth wide open, in disbelief.

He had attempted a martial artist breakthrough once before, unfortunately failing, and if not for the Type Two Healing Potion, he would have died.

However, having gone through a martial artist realm attempt, he was more aware of its hardships.

Someone relying on nothing but themselves to become a martial artist was as difficult as reaching the heavens.

"Sister, how do you feel?" One Leaf Floating Cloud immediately went forward to ask.

Players promoting to martial artists could choose from three professions. Luo Wushang had chosen Agility Series previously, while Ye Qinglu chose Balance Series, with different outcomes from their professions.

"Well, I feel very strong now." Ye Qinglu pondered for a moment before replying.

"Very strong? Is your panel strong?" One Leaf Floating Cloud was even more curious.

"The panel data is average, Strength 1674.2kg, Speed 37.3m/s." Ye Qinglu didn't hold back, directly sharing her panel data.

"Is this panel still considered average?" One Leaf Floating Cloud listened, his jaw dropped.

Luo Wushang's strength was only 1558.4kg, and with the Second Realm Perfection of Shattering Stone Fist, a casual strike reached just over 1800kg.

But One Leaf Floating Cloud knew that Ye Qinglu was at the First Layer Perfection of the Thunder Light Palm, with a power boost of at least 20%, making even a casual strike equivalent to 2000 kilograms, reaching the level of a Middle Tier Martial Artist.

"Strength 1674.2 kilograms!"

"Speed 37.3 meters per second!"

"How is this possible!"

Upon hearing the data Ye Qinglu mentioned, Meng Wei and the others felt as if Ye Qinglu was joking.

After a Quasi-Martial Artist advances to Martial Artist, although there is a transformation, the strength increase is generally only two to three hundred kilograms, and the speed increases only by two to three meters per second.

Now, Ye Qinglu's strength increased by 674.2 kilograms, and speed increased by 7.3 meters per second, something unheard of.

However, before Meng Wei and the others could recover from their astonishment, they saw the sword box on Ye Qinglu's back directly release longswords, a total of twelve, floating around Ye Qinglu.

Ye Qinglu leaped on the second floor, and the twelve longswords seemed alive, autonomously aligning beneath Ye Qinglu's feet, allowing her to step on them.

With each step, a longsword fell underfoot, as if creating a lotus at each step, leading her to walk midair to the first-floor training ground.

"Teacher! Am I dreaming?"

Qiao Hanlan looked at Ye Qinglu, eyes nearly popping out.

Meanwhile, Meng Wei remained speechless for a long time, staring at Ye Qinglu landing on the ground, as waves of astonishment surged within him.

"Sword Immortal! My heavens! This must be a Sword Immortal!"

"Everyone, get online and come see the Sword Immortal!"

"Damn! Is the Balance Series' profession actually the Immortal Sword?"

The new players present, who had just returned, watching Ye Qinglu controlling the sword and gliding in the air, suddenly felt that the Super Electromagnetic Cannon they had been frantically learning was no longer appealing.

Perhaps the Super Electromagnetic Cannon has cross-tier attack power, but how can it compare to the style of walking on a sword?

Not to mention there were twelve longswords swirling and rotating around, it was simply astonishingly cool.

But before everyone could recover from the previous scene, Ye Qinglu approached Mentor Number One.

"What's she going to do?"

"Test strength?"

"Are you stupid? The panel is right there, why go test it? I guess she's testing martial arts."

"But what's the point of testing martial arts? Aren't they written on the panel?"

...

Everyone present was curiously discussing what Ye Qinglu wanted to test in the Combat Room, unsure of her intentions.

"Thunder Light Three Techniques, First Technique: Thunder Spear!"

Ye Qinglu gently launched a palm, and the floating test longsword seemed to possess sentience, resting before Ye Qinglu's hand.

Boom!

A red glow flashed, directly striking Mentor Number One, the speed so fast it formed four mach rings in midair.

System: Detecting Thunder Light Three Techniques, First Technique: Thunder Spear, reached the Seventh Rank 23%.

As Mentor Number One's voice sounded, all the players present were amazed.

Previously, many players tried using Super Electromagnetic Cannon, with the strongest power barely reaching the Sixth Rank 97%, but now, a casual strike from Ye Qinglu achieved the Seventh Rank 23%, vastly superior in strength.

"Not bad!" Ye Qinglu looked at the result, a bit excited, "I wonder what my Fourth Technique will achieve."

Saying this, Ye Qinglu flicked her hand, the floating test longsword landed, and the test arrows in the box flew out one by one, a total of twelve.

Ye Qinglu merely touched six arrows with an electrified hand, causing these six arrows to instantly be infused with mighty Thunder Force, and under Ye Qinglu's control, they blasted towards the other six non-infused floating arrows.

Boom!

In an instant, six blazing beams combined to a point, landing on Mentor Number One.

Mentor Number One was knocked to the ground on the spot, a large hole appearing on its hard shell.

"Broken?"

"Crazy! This Sword Immortal profession is utterly unstoppable!"

All players were dumbfounded, watching Mentor Number One being wrecked in one strike.

Mentor Number One, as a mechanical puppet designed for martial arts testing, had never been damaged while using test weapons.

Now, Ye Qinglu destroyed it with just one move, an unimaginable show of power.

"Can't give data?"

"This thing broke, will the Hall Master punish me?"

Ye Qinglu awkwardly looked at the destroyed Mentor Number One, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety.

This Fourth Technique of the Thunder Light Three Techniques was inspired by a video of Chen Ya killing a Martial Artist Level BOSS, never expecting such a result on her first try.

While Ye Qinglu felt a hint of panic, Lin Qi, in the Hall Master's resting room arranging the latest version updates, was equally stunned.

"What is happening?"

Lin Qi looked at the system prompt just now, completely bewildered.

System: Detecting a player has created an Eighth Rank martial art, congratulations to the host for triggering the advanced hidden task 'Path to the Extraordinary', allowing the player to create three extraordinary martial arts, rewards a Super Martial Art Fusion, able to select two or more player-created martial arts for fusion, with a 90% chance of becoming an extraordinary martial art, and a 10% chance of becoming an advanced extraordinary martial art.
