Chapter 291: The Super Evolution Of The Railgun
“Qi and blood phantom!”
“How can there be such a massive qi and blood phantom?”
Inside Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, Xiong Yuedie, who had just come out of the primary gravity room, looked at the phantom over three hundred meters tall, like a skyscraper, her eyes full of surprise and shock.
For ordinary martial artists, this kind of qi and blood phantom might be something they do not even know, but for those who want to apply to enter a domain city, there is not a single one who does not know it.
Sequence transcendent martial skill!
This is usually a hallmark of a sequence transcendent martial skill and proof that the use of qi and blood and energy has reached an extremely high level.
In any major city, if anyone under thirty masters a sequence transcendent martial skill, they can immediately enter a domain city without any assessment. Even if someone under thirty offers a sequence transcendent martial skill that the domain city does not possess, they can directly enter the domain city.
Unfortunately, the human race’s foundation in the City of Light Chasing is too thin, and they have never obtained this kind of martial skill from ruins. They do not even have the chance to learn it, let alone offer such a martial skill to a domain city.
In the combat data for the Four Regions youth tournament treasured by City Lord Di Luoya, Xiong Yuedie had seen many geniuses from the Four Regions use sequence transcendent martial skills in combat videos. These combat videos were prepared by City Lord Di Luoya as motivation to help the geniuses in the city gain admission to a domain city.
They let the geniuses in the city know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is, and that if they want to enter a broader world, they must strive to test into a domain city.
And those super geniuses in the Four Regions youth tournament, when they generally displayed sequence transcendent martial skills, the qi and blood phantoms they manifested were only about one hundred meters tall. Even if displayed by blood condensation realm experts with denser and more majestic qi and blood, it would not be much larger. After all, a qi and blood phantom not only requires enormous qi and blood to support it, but also extremely strong control.
A height of one hundred meters is already the limit of what most people can control. Wanting more would only mean a difference of a few dozen meters.
But the phantom now standing in the martial arts hall was more than three hundred meters tall, simply unheard of.
“Senior brother, do you know what martial skill this is?” Xiong Yuedie could not help but ask curiously beside her, turning to Wu Zhuoqun, who had also come out of the primary gravity room. Her heart was filled with curiosity about such a martial skill. “Do outsiders have a chance to learn it?”
The terrifying energy spread hundreds of meters beyond the more-than-three-hundred-meter qi and blood phantom alone made a martial artist like her, who had just reached the bone forging realm intermediate level, feel restricted in movement. She did not even dare imagine how great the pressure would be if she faced such a phantom directly.
In her view, this martial skill was no longer an ordinary sequence transcendent martial skill. If she could have a chance to learn such a martial skill, then entering a domain city would be easy.
“This… I do not know either.” Wu Zhuoqun looked at the gigantic phantom and shook his head.
“Even you do not know, senior brother?” Xiong Yuedie was a bit surprised.
Now Wu Zhuoqun had already entered the garrison of Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and had even become a captain. His status in Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was already not low, arguably second only to trusted men Meng Wei and Qin Mu. It was hard to imagine that Wu Zhuoqun would not know.
“The foundation of Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is extraordinary. I am only a captain in the garrison and what I can know is very limited.” Wu Zhuoqun could not help but glance at the players in the hall, each wearing silver-gray clothing, and said with some envy, “Unless I can become one of those grey-robed disciples. After all, those grey-robed disciples are the true disciples of the hall.”
“The true disciples of Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?” Xiong Yuedie looked at the players in the hall, also somewhat envious.
Previously Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was just an ordinary faction in the City of Light Chasing. No one knew or cared what its foundation was like.
But as the reputation of Obsidian Martial Arts Hall grew, and now that it was even going to hold an auction for Wushan Prison guard robots in Chiyue Town, it could be seen that the foundation of Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was indeed extraordinary.
Especially now, having produced such a gigantic phantom, it was evident that Obsidian Martial Arts Hall also possessed the foundation of sequence transcendent martial skills. If one could become a true disciple of Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, it might not be inferior to joining a domain city.
Unfortunately, Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had not yet announced the conditions to become a grey-robed disciple; otherwise, even she would be tempted to try.
Meanwhile, in the intermediate training room of the martial arts hall, the gigantic phantom condensed by Yi Ye Fu Yun lasted only a few seconds before collapsing and dispersing. Yi Ye Fu Yun himself crashed to the ground, blood spurting all over, with more breath going out than coming in, clearly beyond saving.
“Did his body overload?”
Fang Zhen looked at the dying Yi Ye Fu Yun and immediately understood the reason.
Yi Ye Fu Yun had indeed absorbed a huge amount of energy through the weapon, but the amount of energy the body can absorb and mobilize is limited. Without the ability to control such power, the energy he had absorbed could easily cause Yi Ye Fu Yun to burst.
“Very good, this method really works.” Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at the dissipating phantom, his eyes filled with excitement. “Next is how to use this power.”
He had originally only wanted to think about it and give it a try, feeling that the possibility of success was not great. After all, that level of control over qi and blood and energy was not something ordinary people could achieve. But he had succeeded, which meant his method was viable.
“It is a pity about old Ye. If he had mastered how to use this power, his strength might have instantly risen to the level of competing with those few for first place.” Twilight of the Gods looked at the nearly dead Yi Ye Fu Yun and the dispersing gigantic phantom with slight regret.
“The use of this power?” Fang Zhen’s eyes lit up at those words, and he could not help walking toward Yi Ye Fu Yun as he said, “Old Ye, can I borrow this weapon of yours for a bit?”
As he spoke, Fang Zhen picked up the silver-gray spear from the ground.
“What, you want to give it a try too?” Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at Fang Zhen, who intended to attempt it, and could not help but laugh. “Sure, I can just treat it as reference material.”
Now that his energy gathering had succeeded, what he needed to solve next was the problem of energy output. But releasing such a huge amount of energy in one go was not easy, and was even harder than condensing the phantom.
It was as if the energy in his body had originally been the size of a washbasin, and now it had expanded to a lake, yet the amount of energy he could extract from his body at one time had not changed at all.
That was what gave him a headache: sitting on a treasure mountain but unable to mine it in large quantities.
At this time Lin Qi, who had just come out of the intermediate gravity chamber, saw this scene and could not help feeling both impressed and regretful.
“To be able to condense such a huge phantom, if this succeeds, the improvement to combat power might defy the heavens.” Lin Qi watched the fading gigantic phantom, deeply shocked. He had not expected players to be able to create something like this.
He was now at the bone forging realm intermediate level. With three disciplines cultivated together and in transcendent state, his panel stats had reached fifty-five tons. With the blessings of martial skills and body strengthening secret techniques, he could reach over ninety tons, which was the baseline of a normal blood condensation realm intermediate level martial artist.
If he added the massive power amplification of the Club, a normal strike could reach nearly 140 tons, already exceeding the 135-ton baseline of the high-level blood condensation realm.
Compared to martial artists of the high-level blood condensation realm, he was only somewhat lacking in martial skills. If he could make up for this and master the third level perfection of a sequence transcendent martial skill, he should be able to fight an ordinary high-level blood condensation realm martial artist, though that would be very difficult to achieve.
But if he could master an extreme super-class martial skill that surpassed sequence martial skills, then he would definitely be able to contend with high-level blood condensation realm martial artists.
Right now he had a system reward of one chance to fuse martial skills into super perfection. It could fuse two or more player-created martial skills. Although there was a 90 percent chance to fuse them into a transcendent martial skill and a 10 percent chance to fuse into a high-class super-class martial skill, if the player-created martial skills were high enough level, he should be able to fuse an even better martial skill.
At present, among the players, apart from Ye Qinglu having created a martial skill he was satisfied with, although others had also created transcendent martial skills, fusing them would likely not yield the martial skill he wanted.
He at least needed one more person to create a high-class super-class martial skill, or even an extreme super-class martial skill, so he could fuse a transcendent martial skill that surpassed sequence martial skills. Otherwise he would only waste this task reward.
While Lin Qi was planning to return to cultivate the second level of the body strengthening secret technique, in the intermediate training room Fang Zhen, holding the silver-gray spear, also began to imitate Yi Ye Fu Yun.
He leaped, and man and spear spun wildly in midair. At that moment, a vast amount of energy gathered once more.
With his transcendent state activated, Fang Zhen quickly condensed another gigantic phantom over three hundred meters tall. Compared to the phantom created by Yi Ye Fu Yun, the one Fang Zhen created was much clearer, and its appearance was very close to his own.
“Is he planning to create a new martial skill based on Golden Roar?” Lin Qi watched Fang Zhen condense another gigantic phantom, a bit curious.
Lin Qi knew that Fang Zhen had reverse-engineered Golden Roar, but using Golden Roar’s energy output method on the gigantic phantom was very difficult. Golden Roar is based on the golden lion it creates, pushing qi and blood and energy use to the limit. At most, borrowing Golden Roar’s method could only reach Golden Roar’s level, never surpass it.
Fang Zhen, having learned Golden Roar, should be very clear on this.
At this moment, not only Lin Qi but even Yi Ye Fu Yun, lying half-dead to the side, was very curious as to what Fang Zhen was planning.
If it were just about condensing a gigantic phantom, any player who had learned the Star Energy Construct Secret Method and had their head blown up once could almost do it. So imitating him was meaningless, just seeking death in vain.
But just as the gigantic phantom was fully condensed and everyone thought it was over, the spear in Fang Zhen’s hand suddenly shot out from the phantom. Right after, the gigantic phantom seemed to gain consciousness, and astonishingly raised its hand and punched toward the flying spear.
In that instant, the phantom made of internal force transformed from qi and blood suddenly erupted with thunder and lightning. Arcs of electricity wrapped its entire body and converged into the punching fist.
Boom!
In that moment it was like ten thousand thunderbolts destroying the world. The sound echoed through the entire City of Light Chasing. In midair there suddenly appeared a radiance bright as day, which disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye, leaving a massive hole with a radius of more than several hundred meters in the dense dark clouds above.
“This…”
“Is this the Coilgun?”
The players inside the martial arts hall stared, dumbfounded, at the radiance vanishing into the sky and the hole hundreds of meters wide in the clouds above. Even the near-dead Yi Ye Fu Yun could not believe his eyes.
This Coilgun move was a martial skill players could not be more familiar with, and was a must-learn martial skill for newcomers.
With this move, even quasi-martial artist level players could easily kill mid-level monsters. With other martial skills, that would be very difficult.
But the current scene made it truly hard for everyone to accept that this was the Coilgun.
Rather than calling it the Coilgun, it was practically an intercontinental missile, with immense power and ultra-long range, completely beyond the Coilgun they usually used.
“My weapon…” Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at the radiance in the sky, almost crying.
It was indeed great that Fang Zhen could use this method to harness the power of the gigantic phantom, but that spear had cost all his spare money to forge.
Now Fang Zhen had used it like fireworks and launched it away. It was likely impossible to retrieve.
“It can be used like this?” Lin Qi was also dumbfounded.
The phantoms condensed by others were just displays. Making them move like living beings was extremely difficult. Yet Fang Zhen had simply treated the phantom as himself, reaching such a level of control that it was unbelievable.
While Lin Qi was still stunned, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
System: congratulations to the host, a player has created an extreme super-class martial skill.
“Another extreme super-class martial skill?” Lin Qi looked at the system panel in his vision, hardly able to believe his eyes.
He had originally been troubled about how to get another high-class super-class martial skill, but unexpectedly Fang Zhen had produced something even stronger, giving the Coilgun a super evolution that directly reached the level of an extreme super-class martial skill.
Now he could completely fuse the two extreme super-class martial skills to create his own martial skill.
But in contrast to Lin Qi’s ecstasy, the players present were utterly fired up.
“Coach! I want to learn to shoot!”
“Too strong! It is like one shot, one soul. I will go without sleep if I have to, I must learn this move!”
“I knew this game was a shooting game.”
Everyone stared excitedly at the radiance fading from the sky, especially the newcomers who had not been in the game long. Their mouths were almost watering as they watched Fang Zhen use the Coilgun.
It was hard for newcomers now. Without the level of a high-level martial artist, many maps were inaccessible. But with this martial skill, even a beginner martial artist who learned it could probably take a shot at a blood condensation realm boss. Aside from being a bit expensive to use, it was simply a divine skill for newcomers.
For a time, all the players in the martial arts hall were swept up in a new wave of Coilgun craze. Especially players who had reached the high-level martial artist level: the evolved Coilgun had become a required course. They either frantically sought guidance from Fang Zhen or commissioned spears from Yi Ye Fu Yun, turning the entire hall into a paradise of phantoms.
From time to time, a gigantic phantom would appear in the hall, becoming a scenic line of Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
Two days later.
While players were crazily learning the new Coilgun, Lin Qi, cultivating in the intermediate gravity chamber, suddenly opened his eyes.
“The fusion of the two martial skills is finally complete.”
