Summoning Players into My Game

"Damn! Beginner 36%?"

"Did I hear that right? I've been here for four days, and I'm only at 43%."

"Two hours and already at 36%, what on earth are they teaching in that classroom?"

"Sis, can you teach me? I'll be your loyal follower forever!"

Everyone looked at the results given by Instructor Number One in shock, thinking it must be a mistake. How else could the results be so terrifying?

These players struggled to practice every day, with many only reaching about 50% proficiency. Two hours equated to almost two or three days of practice. The efficiency was simply unbelievable.

At this moment, not to mention the players, even Luo Qi, who came along, was open-mouthed.

Luo Qi was familiar with Xiao Ling's talent. While not a genius, Xiao Ling was considered outstanding in Chasing Light City. But no matter how outstanding, it shouldn't be possible to reach 36% proficiency after just one class from knowing nothing.

Normally, it would take several teaching sessions from veteran quasi-martial artist instructors to achieve that.

"Not bad." Chen Ya looked at her results with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Instructor Chen, for your guidance. Can I sign up for another session now?" After a brief shock, Xiao Ling immediately wanted to book another session with Chen Ya.

With just one lesson, the progress was like riding a rocket. At this rate, reaching proficiency probably won't even require ten lessons.

Reaching proficiency in an Apprentice Level martial art in the first month of high school—few freshmen in all of Chasing Light High School could achieve that.

"Sure, but don't forget to give me a five-star rating." Chen Ya, very pleased with the teaching effect, didn't anticipate that this guidance would allow the NPC to unlock a secondary quest. Now she'd easily earned four thousand points, collecting points faster than exploring new maps.

The players present saw Xiao Ling proactively request another session, and all of their eyes turned red with desire.

These points came so easily, almost as fast as stealing them.

"I've decided, I'll focus on reckless playstyle development. This is totally the version's chosen path."

"That also depends on the teacher. Can you get others to 36% proficiency in two hours?"

"I definitely can't, but if I attend a session, I'll find out, won't I?"

"Bro, you're amazing! Let's pool our resources together."

Some players who had already reached the Apprentice Level watched Chen Ya heading for another class, suddenly feeling that going to new maps wasn't as enticing anymore; staying at the Martial Arts Hall had more promise.

Two hours for two thousand points and one hundred contributions; in a day's 24 hours, and just eight lessons per day, it amounted to sixteen thousand points, a speed unmatched by new map explorations.

From afar, Luo Qi, witnessing Xiao Ling signing up for another class without hesitation, suddenly felt that it was imperative to have Luo Shuangyan attend, too. Although the single-session cost was higher, the effect couldn't be matched by other martial arts hall instructors.

With such effective teaching, the Black Obsidian Shop was bound to prosper, and its reputation might even echo throughout the city outskirts.

"No wonder." Luo Qi seemed to understand now why Lin Qi didn't care about transportation matters. Turns out he wasn't interested in such small money.

Thinking of this, Luo Qi felt there was a need to have a good discussion with Lin Qi. If the reputation of the martial arts hall could be spread, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall would have no trouble establishing itself in the suburbs in the future.

Relying on the teaching effectiveness of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, it might even establish connections with the big figures in the city, and the suburban gangs would have to respect Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, let alone the little White Feather Gang.

Meanwhile, in the Hall Master's rest room on the first floor, Lin Qi was also surprised by the system notification sound.

System: Congratulations to the host for completing the advanced hidden task 'Martial Arts Are Not Lightly Transmitted,' rewarding one compulsory martial arts fusion.

System: Congratulations to the host for triggering the advanced hidden task two 'Make a Name,' teaching the world's people to become martial artists, rewarding one compulsory high-grade martial arts fusion. You can forcibly merge one player-created martial art with one of your martial arts for a higher chance of creating a higher-grade martial art; the host can directly reach perfection.

"Directly reach perfection?" Lin Qi was very tempted by the new advanced hidden task.

To advance a martial art from proficient to perfect is no easy task, not to mention the higher chance of fusing a higher-grade martial art.

However, teaching this world's people to become martial artists made Lin Qi sigh.

Martial artists in the world of high martial arts are extremely rare. Just looking at the various wild gangs and suburban gangs shows this. With so many extreme apprentices and quasi-martial artists, less than one in a hundred becomes a martial artist, and Lin Qi himself isn't even a martial artist yet.

"Forget it, I'll focus on merging martial arts for now." Lin Qi shook his head and looked at the system panel.

Previously, he desired player-created martial arts, but unfortunately, the system couldn't extract them. Learning them himself posed a high risk of injury, making it counterproductive.

Now that he can learn them directly, things were much more convenient.

"The Liao Yuan Spear Technique I currently grasp is powerful, but the long spear is inconvenient to carry. I'll choose swordsmanship instead." Lin Qi didn't hesitate and selected the Sword Light Slash, a sword art recently created by Luo Wushang, a kind of enhanced martial arts technique involving sword qi, also reaching the fifth rank.

System: Please select a martial art mastered by the host.

"Thunder Light Palm." Lin Qi directly chose the most suitable Thunder Light Palm.

The Sword Light Slash martial art was, in fact, created by Luo Wushang by integrating parts of the Thunder Light Palm. Now, the system would forcibly merge them. The result should not be disappointing.

System: Fusion begins 1%... 10%... 20%...

After Lin Qi waited for over ten minutes, the system finally completed the fusion.

System: Congratulations to the host for mastering the high-tier martial artist level martial art Thunderbolt Flash, automatically reaching proficiency.

Suddenly, Lin Qi felt countless memories rushing into his brain, making his head feel like it would explode. After a minute, the influx finally subsided.

"Thunderbolt Flash, it really is Thunderbolt Flash." After the brief headache, Lin Qi was ecstatic.

This Thunderbolt Flash was evidently superior to the Sword Light Slash created by Luo Wushang. The sword qi naturally carried thunder force, doubling the speed and power compared to Sword Light Slash, truly achieving three times the strength and double the speed. Moreover, the maximum attack distance of this strike reached twenty meters.

It's noteworthy that the enhanced sword qi's Sword Light Slash was only capable of a five-meter attack distance; his reached twenty meters, making it unimaginable for the enemy how far his attack range could extend.

It practically switched from melee to ranged, vastly increasing the freedom of combat.

"It seems I'll need to encourage more players to create powerful martial arts later on. Once those veteran players return, I'll announce new rewards for creating martial arts. Creating three martial artist-level martial arts can directly promote one to an elite disciple." Lin Qi thought it necessary to boost players' enthusiasm for creating martial arts. This way, his future merges would yield more powerful martial arts.

The Thunderbolt Flash I currently possess feels sufficient to fight a martial artist. After all, a martial artist's internal organs aren't made of iron, and ordinary force can hardly withstand Thunderbolt Flash.

The sun set in the west, over a wooded area in the suburbs of Chasing Light City.

Two large tricycles drove on the broken gravel road, each packed with players holding long spears. Fang Zhen and Li Ranxing were at the forefront.

"This energy ore is getting harder to dig up." The Outer Gunman looked at the two carts of energy ore, commenting with some lament, "I could dig over a ton on my first day. Now it's only six or seven hundred kilograms. Once the new batch of players arrives, there'll be even less to dig."

"New maps are always lucrative in the initial exploitation stage." Fang Zhen said confidently about the future of their Mecha Squad, "The new map has already made us a lot these past few days. Our weapons are now complete, and our squad has five advanced apprentices. The other members are close to that level, so we can definitely explore the maze tunnel later."

The future looked bright for the squad. The new map had already made them plenty of money these past days, allowing them to equip themselves, something they didn't even dare dream of at the martial arts hall. Additionally, their squad now had as many as five advanced apprentices, and the others were close to that level, fully capable of exploring the maze tunnel later.

As Fang Zhen and the dozen or so others chatted on the path, a slender woman with three large eyes was watching them from a vantage point a kilometer away in the woods through binoculars.

"Yakro, are the brothers ready? Should we make a move now?" Another person, also with three eyes, asked eagerly.

"The bounty from the White Feather Gang is quite generous, and they don't have many people this time, just sixteen. Tell everyone to get ready, we're making our move!" Yakro put away the binoculars and nodded.

"Alright! I've been looking forward to this." The man said with excitement.

There were over fifty of them, and each one was a skilled intermediate apprentice at least. They could have easily raided the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's convoy earlier, but at that time, the Hall Master of Black Obsidian was with them, so they didn't act. They've been waiting until now.

Now they could finally make their move!
