Chasing Light City, Chasing Light Building.

High up in the clouds, a floor of the building had a helipad where a flying transport vehicle made from B6-level alloy slowly landed. Out stepped high-tier martial artists wearing B5-level and above battle armor.

Leading them was a tall woman, stunning in her light blue B6-level battle armor, with a war axe strapped to her back.

The woman entered a room in the building and stood in front of a man nearly three meters tall, his arms thicker than an ordinary person's waist, standing there like a small mountain.

"Zhuoqun, both Sharp Fang and Steel Bone teams have departed. It seems they have targeted a Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall team that went out," the woman smiled as she spoke to Wu Zhuoqun, who was calmly standing with his eyes closed. "This time they are quite serious, sending out nearly half of their manpower."

"Are the Feather Race and Ape Race about to make a move?" Wu Zhuoqun opened his eyes, his gaze sharp.

The Sharp Fang and Steel Bone teams are composed of Feather and Ape Races from the city's defense corps, banded together like all racial factions in the city outskirts. They help each other during missions and privately take on clan tasks for cultivation resources and other rewards.

Just like the team he formed in the defense corps, gathering captains and deputy captains of the Human Race.

Standing before him, Lin Yan was second only to him in strength in the team, just one step away from becoming a Bone Forging Realm expert.

"Sharp Fang and Steel Bone are ranked in the top twenty among the captains in the city defense corps. Even individually, they could easily kill high-tier martial artists from the genius training camp. Luckily, Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is being supported by you," Lin Yan laughed lightly at Wu Zhuoqun, "Should we head over now?"

"During the annual contest of the city defense corps, I didn't get the chance to compete with them. Today, however, presents a good opportunity," Wu Zhuoqun nodded. "Let's catch up with them; if we're late, Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall might not hold out."

"Don't worry, I've had people keeping an eye on Sharp Fang and Steel Bone. If we go now, we will definitely catch up," Lin Yan licked her lips, "But let's agree in advance, one of them is mine. Last time I just missed the top twenty; I want to know how strong the Sharp Fang and Steel Bone in the top twenty really are."

"Alright, you'll get first pick when the time comes," Wu Zhuoqun nodded.

The path of the martial artist is a series of challenges in each layer. To advance quickly is to forge oneself through countless trials. They, in particular, are at a peak, with their Qi and blood at zenith, and their organs enhanced to the extreme, much like superhumans.

To break through to the Bone Forging Realm, they need the final push, which requires exceptional control over their own Qi, blood, and energy. Routine training hardly results in breakthroughs; only through mortal challenges can they stimulate themselves to surpass limits, which is why they joined the defense corps.

Wu Zhuoqun then led nearly twenty people, driving the flying transport vehicle to the location where Sharp Fang and Steel Bone planned to ambush the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall team.

Chasing Light City, Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

Lin Qi had just finished a day's training with Meng Wei and others. Reflecting on the body strengthening secret technique experiences extracted from Luo Wushang and others today, he wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

"Unexpectedly, three people have achieved the First Layer Perfection of the body strengthening secret technique, and Luo Wushang has cultivated to the Second Layer. Truly, these people aren't planning on staying human. Wouldn't it be better to spend this time on cultivating training techniques and martial arts?"

Lin Qi looked at his own First Layer Perfection and Second Layer, reaching an entry-level 6% in the body strengthening secret technique. Now, he had no choice but to practice as well.

The top-tier experts among the players are progressing slowly in training techniques even at proficiency, and the associated martial arts are the same, forcing him to extract other things.

Previously, he didn't realize this until he specialized in extracting the body strengthening secret technique, and it was shocking.

By now, everyone has cultivated the First Layer of the body strengthening secret technique to a proficient 100%, with many aiming for Perfection.

These past days, he had to spend time cultivating the body strengthening secret technique, gradually transforming his entire cellular structure, even constructing a basic gravity room just for his use to enhance cell strength like the players, otherwise he couldn't even enter the basic gravity room.

Just as Lin Qi was about to enter the basic gravity room to start today's training in the body strengthening secret technique, Qin Mu suddenly rushed into the martial arts hall, face filled with urgency.

"Quick! Come with me!" Qin Mu said anxiously upon seeing Lin Qi, "Your martial arts hall's team that went outside the city today has been targeted by the Feather and Ape Races. Two teams from the city defense corps have already gone to ambush them."

"Two teams from the defense corps are making a move?" Lin Qi was quite surprised upon hearing this, not expecting the major forces in the city to become impatient so quickly.

"Yes, it's the Sharp Fang and Steel Bone teams from the defense corps. You must quickly come with me now," Qin Mu nodded seriously, "Sharp Fang and Steel Bone are ranked among the top twenty in strength among many captains in the defense corps. They can kill high-tier martial artists as easily as killing chickens. And this time, to ensure they leave no one from your martial arts hall, they sent more than forty people, all high-tier martial artists at the captain and deputy captain level. Only you can stop them now."
