Chapter 724: Chapter 373: Testing the Waters

In an instant, millions of players radiated from the center of Red Moon City, startling members from the various major forces who came to investigate.

In less than two days, surprisingly, so many Gray-clothed Disciples emerged within Red Moon City. Although the strength of these Gray-clothed Disciples is generally very weak, not even reaching the level of Martial Artists, the Gray-clothed Disciples of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall are renowned throughout the Four Domains. Each possesses extraordinary potential and is not someone an ordinary person can become.

While claiming future achievement in the Bone Forging Realm is easy might be a bit exaggerated, becoming Bone Forging Realm is almost certain. Some Gray-clothed Disciples can even advance to the Blood Coagulation Realm master level. Even at just one percent, millions of Gray-clothed Disciples becoming a terrifying number is inevitable.

Actually, not only are the major forces that came to Red Moon City surprised, but also the personnel from the other three Domain Cities find it unbelievable.

"How can there be so many Gray-clothed Disciples? Is the Hall Master planning to unify the Four Domains?" Ling Ye looked at the Gray-clothed Disciples scattered across every street and alley of Red Moon City, feeling his scalp tingle, couldn’t help but ask his teacher beside him, "Should we report to the Deputy City Lord now?"

She knows the combat power of Gray-clothed Disciples. Each can usually fight above their level.

At present, millions of Gray-clothed Disciples might seem insignificant, but if given time to reach the Bone Forging Realm, that’s equivalent to millions in Blood Coagulation Realm combat power. One percent becoming Blood Coagulation Realm translates to tens of thousands of Heavenly Human Realm Grandmasters’ power.

Even bringing together the remaining three Domain Cities, such an army would only be a joke.

The number of Grandmasters across the Four Domains altogether might not even match a small fraction of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall then.

"No wonder all three Domain Cities dispatched people to investigate simultaneously. This Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall indeed has boundless ambitions; a single region can’t contain it." The Third Elder frowned deeply, took a deep breath, and said, "It’s far from enough for us to report alone. Coordinate with the other two groups; let’s report together to the higher-ups."

The information initially gathered in Red Moon City was already astonishing—several hundred Grandmasters are publicly known, with four Great Grandmasters in residence. Rumor has it that Hall Master Lin Qi broke through yesterday, causing Qi and blood to surge within dozens of kilometers, an anomaly rare in a lifetime, overpowering him to the brink of kneeling.

Now, Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall has produced millions of Gray-clothed Disciples, making him doubt if he’s been wide awake all these days and not dreaming in Celestial River Domain City.

The strength displayed by Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall now cannot be confronted by any single city or domain, only potentially restrained by a strategic alliance of three cities.

At the other end, in Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, Hall Master’s office.

Completely remodeled into an Intermediate Meditation Room, even an ordinary person staying in this room can become a genius, the active thinking frequently delivering bursts of inspiration.

"The power of Level Four permissions is indeed formidable, and with the qualitative change brought by Level Four hidden permissions, now I can even extract skills learned by players freely." Lin Qi glanced at the system’s player list, sighing slightly, "Unfortunately, the success rate is less than 30%, with only fifteen chances per day; I wish there were more."

He has now reached the Heavenly Human Realm. However, the Energy Blood Essence consumed for his breakthrough was astounding—a full two hundred Energy Blood Essences were needed to accomplish the final breakthrough.

After the breakthrough, he has truly become an Extraordinary Life, unable to revert back. His Qi Blood Strength far surpasses that of Luo Wushang by over thirty percent, and the richness of his Qi and blood has more than doubled. His actual Strength has reached the level of one hundred thousand tons, and every movement needs to be cautious, especially concerning his presence and Qi and blood, requiring considerable mental suppression. Otherwise, even Blood Coagulation Realm Martial Artists couldn’t approach within one kilometer.

Today, due to reaching fifteen million reservations, Level Four hidden permissions have been unlocked, granting him a new extraction ability.

Now, as long as it is martial skills and training techniques learned by players, he can extract them with a certain probability, no longer limited to martial skills and training techniques he provided. It is a considerable upgrade.

So, the first thing he extracted was the Demigod Inheritances learned by Twilight of the Gods and others. Unfortunately, the extraction success rate is too low, with only four successes out of fifteen attempts, allowing four martial skills from the Eighteen Styles of Desolation to reach proficient levels, notably the ninth skill, ’Stars Like Rain,’ an Intermediate Ultimate Technique, significantly boosting his confidence.

This move, executed with his Extraordinary Life, does not lead to self-harm but leaves him very weak. However, having this move at hand, along with the mallet drawn by the system, he feels capable of contending with ordinary Divine Fusion Realm experts.

If the ninth style, ’Stars Like Rain,’ reaches the Realm of Perfection, he feels he could face ordinary Divine Fusion experts without resorting to life-sacrificing martial skills.

While Lin Qi lamented over the few extraction opportunities, a woman with three pairs of golden wings entered: Xie Feina.

"Hall Master, the people from the three cities have made their move, seemingly intending to report to the Domain City together." Xie Feina said nervously, "At that time, the Insect Race might make their move."

Before Mist Mountain Domain City was integrated into Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, she wasn’t aware of the true situation on Canglan Star. However, after fully joining Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, she learned the circumstances of the Four Domains, sending shivers down her spine when she discovered it.
