Summoning Players into My Game-Chapter 597 - 330: The Name of Black Obsidian

"Wait, near a thousand Blood Coagulation Stage experts from Red Moon Commerce, Smiling Skull, and Earth Star Pharmaceutical were dispatched, along with several half-step Celestial beings to take on the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, and yet all three were disastrously defeated? What is going on?" Shadow Tiger looked at the scruffy-faced Flying Dragon in bewilderment, his mind utterly blank.

Not to mention Dusk Shadow’s Misalou and Rekasa, just the battle involving nearly a thousand Blood Coagulation Stage experts hasn’t occurred in the Four Domains for decades. The last time was during a huge monster tide that swept through an entire domain.

So many Blood Coagulation Stage experts attacking a single force, and even several half-step Celestial beings in the mix, unless a Heavenly Human Grandmaster interferes, wiping out a first-class power in the Four Domains would be a trivial matter.

Yet, the result was the disastrous defeat of all three?

He seriously doubted if Flying Dragon was too exhausted from recent training, leading to some mental misstep.

"You didn’t know?" Flying Dragon was slightly surprised and slowly explained, "This incident has already spread everywhere. The three forces battled against the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall in the Wraith Mountain Range, losing nearly a third of their Blood Coagulation Stage experts. Each force also lost a half-step Celestial, resulting in significant losses, marking the first such occurrence since their establishment. If not for the Heavenly Human Realm Grandmasters overseeing them, this battle would have knocked them out of the ranks of the top powers in the Four Domains."

"Now, with no Heavenly Human Grandmasters able to intervene casually, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall has probably become the strongest power beneath the Four Domain Cities."

"Is the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall really that strong?" Shadow Tiger looked at Flying Dragon, feeling that his words were becoming increasingly implausible.

To defeat nearly a third of a thousand Blood Coagulation Stage experts is unbelievable enough. A half-step Celestial is a formidable existence; without a number of similar half-step Celestials encircling, there’s no way to kill one, let alone three at once. How many half-step Celestials would that require?

If the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall truly had so many half-step Celestials, who, apart from the Mist Mountain Domain City, in the entire Mist Mountain Region would dare provoke the Martial Arts Hall?

"That’s why I came to ask you." Flying Dragon lightly smiled at the skeptical Shadow Tiger. "I heard in that battle that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had many experts capable of rivaling half-step Celestials. One of their Gray-clothed Disciples in the Bone Forging Realm killed half-step Celestials from Red Moon Commerce, Smiling Skull, and Earth Star Pharmaceutical, then went on to defeat Dusk Shadow’s Misalou, scaring Rekasa away. This Gray-clothed Disciple is widely regarded as the strongest beneath the Grandmaster level."

"You and Ling Ye have both collaborated with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and even opened a Martial Arts Hall for them in the Domain City. I thought you would know more details. If true, I was hoping you could introduce me to this expert. It seems even you, the great genius, are more out of the loop than I am."

"A Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist defeated Dusk Shadow’s Misalou, scaring Rekasa to the point of fleeing, becoming the strongest under the Grandmaster level?" Shadow Tiger was left speechless, feeling like this was a fantasy tale. He couldn’t help but ask, "Does such a genius really exist?"

He considered himself a peerless genius of his era, already capable of rivaling the previous generation’s Rekasa.

But now, being told that the Rekasa he barely caught up to fled in fear from a Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s Bone Forging Realm disciple, made his previous dreams and pursuits seem like a joke.

"I heard that the disciple of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is still quite young, around twenty-five or six," Flying Dragon sighed. "Rekasa, upon returning, hasn’t spoken a word about the incident, merely requesting to use the Elder’s Cultivation Room from the Deputy City Lord to attempt breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm."

"No way! He’s attempting to break through to the Celestial Human Realm now?" Shadow Tiger was shocked.

Breaking through from the extreme high tier of the Blood Coagulation Stage to a half-step Celestial is extremely difficult. But ascending from a half-step Celestial to a Heavenly Human Grandmaster is even harder.

Among the Four Domain Cities, each generation has a few half-step Celestials. Yet, over decades, those who become Heavenly Human Grandmasters are only a handful across all Four Domain Cities combined.

And this is with the resources of the Domain Cities supporting them. For other forces, the chances of becoming a Heavenly Human Grandmaster are even lower.

The main reason is the immense risk of fully enhancing the brain. Any minor mistake during enhancement could cause the entire brain to explode, making recovery impossible. This is why many half-step Celestial experts remain at the half-step Celestial stage.

Rekasa hasn’t been a half-step Celestial for long, and for such a being, he’s still quite young. Normally, one would accumulate for seven or eight years, even over a decade, to enhance their Qi and Blood as much as possible, only attempting the breakthrough when age starts affecting Qi and Blood peak levels. Attempting the Celestial Human Realm breakthrough now is reckless.

"It’s likely to resolve the current predicament." Flying Dragon lamented, "Previously, Rekasa declared that no one should introduce the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to the Deputy City Lord. But now, with the Hall defeating those three forces, in a situation where Heavenly Human Grandmasters cannot casually act within the Four Domains and must unite to explore restricted zones for survival, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall has already become the foremost power beneath the Four Domain Cities."

"By then, many groups and experts will likely ally with the Hall for restricted zone exploration. To please the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, it’s possible they might exclude him. Heavenly Human Grandmasters never pair with those beneath their rank, leaving him with either the option of staying in Celestial River Domain City forever or breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm."
