Chapter 680: Chapter 359: An Unbelievable Shelter

Restricted Area, Frost Shelter.

Within the massive mountain body, airships marked with the Black Obsidian insignia were slowly landing at the Frost Airport.

As several teams of players wearing silver-gray outfits walked out from within the airship and lined up on both sides, the thousands of young men and women waiting at the Frost Shelter fell silent, each turning their eyes to the Half-Scale Race woman stepping off the airship.

Seeing the Half-Scale Race woman with a tail in a tall, jet-black blood-patterned battle armor, although judged from the Qi and Blood Strength as Blood Coagulation Realm Middle Tier, she gave everyone present an indescribable sense of oppression, as if facing a humanoid giant beast. Even the two Heavenly Human Realm Grandmasters of the Frost Shelter’s guards felt threatened.

"Captain Vanessa, that leader from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall seems to be wearing the rumored Tier Four Battle Armor, which only the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall can manufacture!" The young deputy leader of Frost beside her couldn’t help but eye the powerfully equipped dark battle armor with gleaming eyes.

The battle armor that all major shelters in the Restricted Area could currently produce, in terms of various metrics, couldn’t even meet the standards of Tier Three Battle Armor. They merely had the defensive power of Tier Three Battle Armor. As for Tier Four Battle Armor, it was simply unimaginable.

However, since the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall supported Frost in repelling the Insect Race, the two sides have achieved much cooperation, even reaching an employment agreement with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. A large group of their personnel settled in Frost Shelter, establishing the Martial Arts Hall, arranging various buildings, assisting Frost’s defense, while Frost Shelter provided Energy Blood Essence support. Both sides have come to a considerable understanding.

There are rumors that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall possesses Tier Four Battle Armor, not the pseudo-Tier Three Battle Armor of the major shelters, but genuine Heavenly Human Realm Battle Armor that meets Tier Four standards in all aspects. This allows Blood Coagulation Realm martial artists to contend with Heavenly Human Realm grandmasters. Even ordinary Heavenly Human Realm grandmasters find themselves helpless against Blood Coagulation Realm martial artists wearing Tier Four Battle Armor.

If a Heavenly Human Realm grandmaster equips it, they can suppress all grandmasters of the same realm. It is an extremely game-changing battle armor.

"Originally, I thought it was just a joke from the drunks at the bar, but now it seems that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is indeed more formidable than we imagined." Vanessa looked at Yino, equipped in the Guardian’s heavy armor, even feeling threatened herself as a Great Grandmaster, and couldn’t help but raise her evaluation of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall once again.

This time, according to the decision of Frost Shelter’s Elder Council, it was decided to do the same as Sky Dome Shelter, sending the shelter’s children in batches to reside at the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s base camp, Red Moon City, until they reach maturity and enter the Bone Forging Realm, before returning to live in Frost Shelter.

The young men and women at the airport are the first batch.

Among them, over a hundred are newly selected talents of the new generation, who will enter the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall as academy disciples, just like her, to cultivate.

She was personally dissatisfied with the Elder Council’s decision.

The new generation of talented individuals from the shelter is okay, considering none have even reached the Bone Forging Realm, and the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall indeed excels in training Bone Forging Realm disciples.

In situations where the silver-gray-clad disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall don’t transform, few talents within Frost Shelter of the same level can contend with them. Even the Bone Forging Realm disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall have mastered Sequence Extraordinary Level Martial Skills; such super talents are rare in the major shelters.

If it were just one, it wouldn’t matter, but all those disciples from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall have reached such a level, proving that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s training for Bone Forging Realm martial artists indeed surpasses the major shelters.

But she, as a Heavenly Human Realm Great Grandmaster, placed among the major shelters and even on this planet, is a master second only to the City Lord, and has mastered Super Limit Level Martial Skills to the Realm of Perfection. She didn’t understand what she could possibly learn by going to the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall for training.

However, when Vanessa saw the excitement in the eyes of the young men and women behind her, she could only abandon the thought of staying in Frost Shelter.

Previously, due to the battle with the Insect Race, the heroic display and power of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall disciples was evident to all. They fought across ranks like it was no more than having a meal or a drink, their physical bodies invincible.

Even subsequent challenges from many talents of the shelter, left stripped down to their underwear in defeat, proved that not a single talent could defeat even a fully-powered Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall disciple of the same level, causing the younger generation in the shelter to look forward to training at the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. She figured her presence could also provide some protection, given that the Pure Land where the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall resides, was territory long dominated by the Insect Race, although they hadn’t yet taken any action against the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

In front of the airship, the players who took on the escort mission couldn’t help but drool at Yino’s complete Guardian heavy armor.

"This new battle armor is simply too cool! If I could wear it now, I’d be invincible. Unfortunately, it’s not currently for sale, and I don’t know if our Defense Corps can manufacture it. If we could, we’d definitely make a fortune." The Outer Gunman at the Blood Coagulation Realm Middle Tier was full of envy.

"Outer Lord, let’s just not think about this for now." Beside him, a youth called Half-Awake Sea Fish, having reached Blood Coagulation Realm Initial Tier, shook his head while looking at the Guardian heavy armor. "I heard that, to date, only a few sets exist in the entire Martial Arts Hall, all ordered under full force by the Hall Master himself. I inquired with some mechanicians involved in the manufacturing, and they said the Guardian heavy armor alone consumed twenty tons of new alloy. One of our brothers, manually crafting all day, could at most produce a hundred kilograms, and that’s when he reached the Blood Coagulation Realm; it would be even less once hitting the Bone Forging Realm. It would take a Blood Coagulation Realm person doing nothing but manually crafting for two hundred days to produce twenty tons of new alloy, just the labor cost alone is sky-high."
