Regarding the announcent of the Descent of High Martial event, players on the forum originally didn’t think much of it.
After all, such ga event announcents an nothing to players who can’t enter the ga.
They can only watch helplessly as those irritating veteran players make huge profits in the ga, not only acquiring weapons and equipnt but even owning houses, leaving people green with envy.
So regarding such event announcents, only players who can enter the ga care, while others are indifferent.
However, upon closer inspection of the event content, everyone was shocked.
"What’s going on?!"
"Opening a new map for city exploration is fine, but what’s this about wilderness exploration permissions? Aren’t they in closed beta?"
"Wow! This ga is insane! A radius of a hundred kiloters can be explored at will! How big is this ga planning to make the map?"
"Isn’t this ga supposed to be about free digging?"
"A radius of a hundred kiloters! Just exploring the ga’s novice village feels like it could last a year."
In the era of virtual gas, the maps within virtual gas are already huge, with NPC cities spanning several kiloters in radius, accommodating tens of thousands of people. Distances between cities are typically twenty to thirty kiloters, requiring players to spend two to three hours running.
But now, with Descent of High Martial, even a novice village allows players to explore a radius of a hundred kiloters, leaving everyone unable to imagine how large the map of Descent of High Martial is.
Twilight of the Gods: "Finally, a new gaplay mode is unlocked ╰(*°▽°*)╯"
Fang Zhen: "Everything about this ga is great, except it’s so consuming! I still haven’t built my house, and now I need to open new maps for exploration. I’m overwheld on my own (＞﹏＜)"
One Leaf Floating Cloud: "Exploration gaplay of new maps is an opportunity for newcors. My shop is now selling A6-level Super Electromagnetic Spears at a cheap price, guaranteed to defeat Apprentice-level enemies with one shot each. No points? No problem, my shop offers loans, providing weapons first and paying points later. Co and buy quickly!"
Luo Wushang: "Although the ga company only gives us five slots, they grant such huge permissions for a limited-ti event. It seems the ga company wants to test our player limits through competition. The ga company has indeed beco cunning."
Little Yuan goes crazy: "I suspect this might be a test of future gaplay by the ga company. They created a city for us to explore, releasing five slots to explore a hundred-kiloter radius to check for bugs. If everything is confird to be fine, they’ll probably open more gradually."
Twilight of the Gods: "Wow! So these five slots are actually trial versions of the ga test. This ga company is so ruthless, making us closed-beta players divide more people for testing. I strongly recomnd opening all closed-beta content!"
Fang Zhen: "Whoever gets wilderness exploration permission this ti is bound to profit, truly leading by a version’s content. It seems for the coming period, I won’t be able to log off for 24 hours (┬＿┬)"
The veteran players’ chatter makes those who haven’t entered the ga incredibly jealous.
They haven’t even entered the ga yet, but Descent of High Martial has started a beta within beta, and the beta content includes many people’s favorite exploration gaplay.
...
Deep underground in the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
"Fanchen, what should we do next?" Lin Xinyao from Mythical Paradise gazed at the mysterious tunnel connecting to the deep underground, asking Lu Fanchen nearby, "Should we continue exploring this Maze Tunnel or participate in the event?"
After they beca Apprentices, by borrowing B2-level weapons and mastering Thunder Light Palm in the Maze Tunnel, they had trendous success. The deeper they explored, the more they realized this dungeon was extraordinary.
Starting from the patrolling Single-Horned Gold-devouring Rat at the entrance, to walking six to seven kiloters along the tunnel deep underground, reaping over ten Single-Horned Gold-devouring Rats along with rapid growth in Power or Qi and Blood.
Even their physique underwent noticeable changes after entering.
Originally, Li Tianxing was the tallest among them at a solid two ters with a broad fra, resembling a giant bear. Now, Li Tianxing’s height has exceeded 210, with both him and Lu Fanchen almost reaching two ters.
However, the most impressive is their Blood Qi naturally forming Power, like intense fla, imperious beyond asure.
Despite using Thunder Light Palm against the Single-Horned Gold-devouring Rat, two Forces erged: Thunder Force and Fire Force. They fused, exploding with compressed air, allowing soone newly promoted to Interdiate Apprentice to withstand the Single-Horned Gold-devouring Rat’s attack unscathed, an incredible feat.
Of course, this Fire Force wasn’t gained without sacrifice.
In just two days, they lost count of how many tis they died in the Maze Tunnel. Walking along the path, their bodies would often bleed, inflate significantly, and explode.
After becoming Apprentices, they could stay longer in the Maze Tunnel’s depths, but barely for twenty minutes before exploding.
"Go! Those five slots represent leading-edge content, we must obtain them." Lu Fanchen said, glancing regretfully at the deep, endless tunnel. "Although the three of us are only Interdiate Apprentices, if we fully ignite our raging Blood Qi, concentrating it to a single point to explode, we can indeed injure the Single-Horned Gold-devouring Rat. With this power, a close-range fight with a Martial Artist, a mutual destruction scenario is feasible. We definitely have a chance to compete for those five slots."
"I agree. I’m getting closer to compressing the surrounding air underneath with this Power and detonating it." Li Tianxing said with a smile, "Once I succeed, I’ll be able to move freely in mid-air, perhaps even executing my Heaven-Stepping Step, ensuring no one can catch within the entire city map!"
"You’ve almost succeeded?" Lin Xinyao asked, surprised, looking at Li Tianxing.
Heaven-Stepping Step is known as Axe Saint Li Tianxing’s signature move, allowing one to walk on air. While Li Tianxing could execute the move during Pilgrimage because of his superhuman physique, incredible foot speed, and ability to step on air, giving him an unparalleled advantage in aerial combat.
In the Descent of High Martial world, their physical ability is average, incapable of such feats. However, if Li Tianxing could create an explosion-induced airflow underfoot, using the thrust from the explosive wind to propel forward, similar to a pulse jet engine’s explosive thrust, their current physique might allow them to perform the Heaven-Stepping Step.
Yet this is only theoretical; whether they can achieve it is a different matter.
"I’m not yet proficient with this Power, currently managing only a few steps. Once I beco proficient, I should be able to step out dozens of steps." Li Tianxing nodded. "My progress in the Fixed Star Explosion Visualization Technique is at 19%. If I can surpass it, my spirit will advance, allowing to use the Heaven-Stepping Step."
"Alright, let’s head to the entrance to cultivate. With one night until the event starts, we should focus on improvent, potentially witnessing another wave of growth by the event’s comncent." Lu Fanchen said.
Both Lin Xinyao and Li Tianxing agreed, quickly following Lu Fanchen as they ran towards the Maze Tunnel entrance. In the Maze Tunnel’s entrance area, deep within a kiloter, though their Qi and Blood would beco turbulent and heated, this transformation aids in their enhancent, and their bodies can endure longer.
...
The next morning.
On Red Moon Mountain, as the rescue team prepared to head to Azure Sky, three large trucks from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall parked at the entrance. Rows of players stood in front like disciplined soldiers, waiting for quite so ti.
Particularly the players registered on Red Moon Mountain, none carried even a decent weapon; nearly everyone had a ’Desert Eagle’ holstered at their waist, a few B2 level arrows slung across their backs, creating a striking scene at the entrance of Red Moon Mountain.
"Are these people planning to head to Azure Sky with just these items?"
"A pistol? Have they gone mad?"
mbers of the rescue team, ready to head to Azure Sky, were dumbfounded, unable to decipher the intentions of those from Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
In this era, still using pistols?!
"Alright, everyone board the vehicles." Lin Qi, seeing everyone was ready, instructed all to board the vehicles.
