Chapter 41: Quasi Level-five Dan
Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, combat room.
“After inputting your personal data, you just need to directly attack Instructor One.” Lin Qi looked at Luo Wu Shang, who had stepped forward, and began teaching everyone how to use Instructor One. “You have three attack opportunities. How you adjust them is up to you. As for the demonstration weapons, there are specialized custom weapons in the weapon box over there. Just pick one.”
The student who had buried the mechanical doll underground had to be called professional. Inside the metal box there were not only mechanical dolls, but also matching specialized weapons, everything complete, saving him from having to spend more on procurement.
For skill testing, specialized weapons are very expensive, because the weapons are not metal but a special rubber. Even if you use Martial Artist-level strength with a specialized weapon to attack the mechanical doll, the mechanical doll will not take any damage. On the contrary, it can accurately test all the data.
“Can we use weapons?”
When Luo Wu Shang heard that weapons could be used, her eyes lit up. She quickly walked to the weapon box placed to the side.
The weapon box was not large, only 2 meters long and 5 meters wide. The weapons inside were quite complete: sabers, spears, swords, bows, axes, whips, and more than a dozen types of weapons. However, all of them were made of rubber and were modular.
But Luo Wu Shang did not mind; she was even a little happy. After all these days, she could finally use a decent weapon.
She immediately picked up the single-handed long sword inside and casually swung it a few times.
“Not bad, the weight is barely acceptable.”
After adapting for a moment, Luo Wu Shang was very satisfied with the single-handed long sword in her hand.
“All right, attack Instructor One.” Lin Qi, looking at the prepared Luo Wu Shang, was also somewhat curious about what her skill level really was.
Previously, in the Wilderness when they fought the members of the White Feather Gang, Luo Wu Shang’s performance had truly amazed him.
That reaction was already inhuman, especially when Lin Qi learned that the move Point Star was a sword skill Luo Wu Shang had created herself in the virtual game Pilgrimage. It had almost made his jaw drop.
A sword skill self-created in a virtual game could actually be reproduced in a High Martial Arts World. It was like taking the martial arts of peerless experts from a wuxia novel and using them directly in reality, utterly unbelievable.
You had to know a virtual game is ultimately a virtual game. Because of the virtual engine, it is not truly real. Real people cannot achieve the effects of in-game characters.
But Luo Wu Shang did it. Even if it was a simplified version, it was still unbelievable.
Luo Wu Shang held the sword in one hand, standing just over a meter from Instructor One. After taking a deep breath, the long sword in her hand instantly stabbed out six points of black light.
The six black points seemed to form a cross-shaped mark that directly appeared over Instructor One’s chest, making the fixed Instructor One sway slightly.
“Data comparison in progress…”
“Unknown martial skill detected, please name the martial skill.”
“Point Star.”
“Data recorded. Confirmed martial skill Point Star. Result: Rank Four, 26%. This martial skill has reached the Quasi-Martial Artist level.”
As Instructor One gave the test result, everyone present could not help but burst into an uproar.
“Sister Wu is insane!”
“A Quasi-Martial Artist-level martial skill. Sister Wu is too terrifying. I remember the Crushing Stone Fist and Leopard Shadow Steps we learned are only Apprentice-level. Sister Wu’s self-created martial skill is actually one level higher.”
“Sister Wu! Why don’t you teach me? I’m willing to pay one thousand points!”
While everyone was exclaiming over Luo Wu Shang’s new martial skill Point Star, Luo Wu Shang launched two more consecutive attacks at Instructor One.
“Martial skill Point Star. Result: Rank Four, 28%. This martial skill has reached the Quasi-Martial Artist level.”
“Martial skill Point Star. Result: Rank Four, 22%. This martial skill has reached the Quasi-Martial Artist level.”
As Instructor One produced new data again, the entire room once more erupted in exclamations and admiration, but only Luo Wu Shang stared fixedly at Instructor One.
The look in her eyes at Instructor One was like a wolf that had been hungry for three days seeing meat, full of excitement.
“Such subtle changes in my force, Instructor One can detect them?” Luo Wu Shang’s eyes shone as she looked at Instructor One’s conclusion. “Doesn’t that mean as long as I adjust according to the results given by Instructor One, my Point Star can be realized in full even faster in High Martial Arts Descend?”
At this moment, it was not only Luo Wu Shang who had realized this; everyone present had noticed it too.
“Damn! This game actually has a hidden function for self-creating and developing martial skills?” Twilight of the Gods, hearing Luo Wu Shang’s words, suddenly understood, and his breathing grew a little rapid.
Previously, when everyone practiced Crushing Stone Fist and Leopard Shadow Steps, each of them could clearly see the proficiency progress bar on their own data panel. For players familiar with virtual games, they all knew this kind of proficiency progress bar existed to help players become proficient in martial skills.
As long as the player’s actions become more correct, the proficiency progress will increase. Once it reaches 100%, it means the martial skill has been mastered perfectly.
But various techniques players self-created in virtual games are generally not supported by the game. Players can only explore, adapt, and adjust by themselves. This can be said to be the unspoken rule of all virtual games.
But now High Martial Arts Descend completely broke this.
It could not only guide players to learn the martial skills provided by the game, but also guide players to self-create and refine martial skills. Such free gameplay was practically unheard of.
Meanwhile, in Fang Zhen’s live stream room, the entire room exploded.
“Is this game really this free?”
“I must play this game! With virtual degree already at 100%, and it still lets you freely create martial skills, doesn’t that mean I can reproduce in High Martial Arts Descend all the awesome skills I learned before, and then crush those White Feather Gang people?”
“Haven’t you noticed? High Martial Arts Descend is playing a big game. The gameplay they have released lately is getting richer, and now they allow self-created martial skills. It’s equivalent to players from other games, even when they enter High Martial Arts Descend, not having to completely start over. Plus, with 100% virtual degree and increasingly rich gameplay, it can fully replace all other virtual games on the market and become a true Second World!”
“Damn, that’s true! Streamer, I’ll pay one million to buy your account!”
“One million? As if. This game company’s ambition is to build a true Second World. Now that they can already reach 100% virtual degree, all that’s left is to expand the gameplay. When hundreds of billions of people worldwide are playing one game, what kind of scene would that be? Do you think your one million can smash open the gate to a new world?”
“No way, I need to try the Test Assessment more. Next time I have to get in!”
As more and more players realized this, they all chose to challenge the assessment boss again.
The ticket to the new world was right before their eyes. Once they could obtain it in advance, standing at the peak of the world in the future would not be out of reach.
For a time, players who had originally been hesitating whether they had enough to buy in all chose to purchase High Martial Arts Descend to try their luck. The number of preorders soared straight up, faintly approaching one hundred thousand.
Inside Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, Lin Qi had no idea what was happening, or that the preorder numbers were rising so fast.
However, under Instructor One’s testing, it was not only Luo Wu Shang who gave him a surprise. Zhang Qing Wei also gave him a huge surprise.
Rippling Wave Saber, Rank Four, 18%!
Another Quasi-Martial Artist-level martial skill, normally only mastered by Quasi-Martial Artists. Yet Luo Wu Shang and Zhang Qing Wei, who were only quasi-apprentices, had mastered it. It could be said that as long as the two reached the level of Intermediate Apprentices, it would be hard for them to find opponents among Apprentice-level experts.
It would not be an exaggeration to say they could rival Limit Apprentices like Qin Mu.
Bang!
With a loud boom in the combat room, Lin Qi, who had only taken two steps away, hurriedly ran back.
Instructor One was now his treasure for directing the players. If it were damaged, he currently had no money to repair it.
“What happened?”
“What are you doing?”
Lin Qi looked at the still-shaking Instructor One, the Yi Ye Fu Yun who had only one arm left, and Fang Zhen and the others standing aside with their mouths wide open, and his face was full of confusion.
“Data comparison in progress…”
“Data recorded. Confirmed martial skill Spiral Demon Spear Kill. Because this martial skill was not fully displayed, provisional result is Rank Five, 0%. This martial skill is provisionally classified as Martial Artist level.”
