Chapter 720: Chapter 372: Advent!

"Improving in the game and extending lifespan in reality, how could there possibly be such a game?!"

Luo Wushang’s words made all the elders present, including Chu Qingtian, feel that Luo Wushang was dreaming. The mere implementation of game acceleration technology in Descent of High Martial was already incredible enough.

Enhancing levels in the game and simultaneously increasing lifespan in reality is no longer just a game; it’s a miracle.

Not only would people globally clamor to play such a game, but it would also completely change the current world rules and the way people live.

Before anyone could question Luo Wushang, it was as if she had already anticipated their thoughts. She placed one hand on the conference table and exerted a slight pressure.

Bang!

A solid, deep handprint appeared directly on the conference table made entirely of mahogany, half an inch deep.

"How is this strength possible?!"

The elders stared fixedly at the deep handprint on the table, each one stunned, suspecting it was an illusion.

The conference table was solid wood, a fact known to all the elders. They, as professional experts, exercised regularly, with actual combat sparring being very common, so each had good skills. Some elders, being hot-tempered, would occasionally slam the table. Having experienced the table’s sturdiness, everyone knew its strength.

A full-force strike on a table over twenty centimeters thick wouldn’t even crack it. One might draw blood from one’s hand, but the table would remain unharmed. Yet now, Luo Wushang, a young girl, pressed half an inch deep with her hand on the table like an internal martial arts master from a martial arts movie. It was simply unbelievable.

"Unbelievable, isn’t it?" Luo Wushang glanced at the elders and smiled faintly. "This is the result of my efforts in Descent of High Martial. In-game, I am at the Heavenly Human Realm. Although I don’t know what technology is behind it, my control over my body has reached the cellular level. This strength is the result of unlocking the brain’s inhibition of muscle strength and applying Inch Force. With my control over my body, I can easily regulate the metabolism of all my cells. As long as energy is sufficient, living to two hundred years old is no problem, and I can maintain peak physical condition until I’m one hundred and twenty."

As Luo Wushang finished speaking, silence fell over the room. There were feelings of disbelief, fear, excitement, and all sorts of emotions flooding their hearts.

Although what Luo Wushang said was hard to believe, the display she provided was clearly beyond human capability. They were all skilled in real combat, and this feat was already in the superhuman realm, making disbelief impossible.

"Wushang, you said you can establish a town in the game, right?" Chu Qingtian, returning from his shock, couldn’t help but ask.

If Luo Wushang’s words were true, then Descent of High Martial would indeed become a game that changes the world. The temptation of longevity is irresistible, especially when it’s within reach.

In such a scenario, Descent of High Martial is no longer just a game; it is a truly new world, one that the entire globe would frenetically pursue.

In this new world, owning a town could generate astronomical wealth, enough to support Celestial Might’s tens of thousands of employees’ salaries. After all, the consortia would fight tooth and nail for a spot in a national competition. Now, with the life-extending method of Descent of High Martial laid out, they would frenziedly increase their levels within the game. Extracting funds from these consortia would be a walk in the park.

"That’s right." Luo Wushang nodded. "I plan to build a town on a super-large Energy Ore Vein in the game. Energy Ore Veins are essential for martial artist cultivation in the game. I will allow players to mine them, charging only 30% of the income; for town residents, I’ll charge just 10% of the income. I intend to sell some town houses to those consortia to acquire the operational funds for the guild. Once the town is fully operational, it should maintain the guild’s operations."

"I understand. I’ll handle negotiations with the consortia," said Chu Qingtian, eyes gleaming. He had thought the guild couldn’t hold on any longer, but it turned out to be a turning point, with Luo Wushang becoming the leader and potentially elevating Celestial Might to new heights.

He could already foresee those consortia going mad upon knowing their Celestial Might has a town in Descent of High Martial. They would surely regret their prior withdrawal of capital and end up spending a huge amount to buy residential properties in the game.

However, Chu Qingtian was unaware that the consortia that lost out in Eternal Immortal Path were even more fanatical after learning about the game acceleration technology of Descent of High Martial.

"Investigate! No matter what it takes, find the company making Descent of High Martial!"

"Once found, notify me immediately. I need to have a good discussion with their management about cooperation. That game acceleration technology must be the new direction for future development. We must quickly obtain some of that technology, regardless of cost!"

"Release the news, we are willing to pay fifty billion to meet with their boss!"

As Eternal Immortal Path caused a major upset, many game guilds and experts backed by consortia couldn’t even enter the main competition, driving them nearly insane. They attempted to contact those who secured spots, but due to Eternal Immortal Path’s confidentiality agreements, they couldn’t obtain any information. Moreover, those individuals weren’t foolish and knew better than to reveal their identities. Those aware of the identities were backed by forces rivaling the consortia.
