"Are you guys planning to go too?"

Lin Qi looked at Qin Mu, who seemed eager to join, not expecting Qin Mu to be so combative.

Nowadays, under the Martial Arts Hall's resource training, Qin Mu had already reached the level of a high-tier middle martial artist, and his Micro had progressed from the initial stage to the middle stage; his progress was quite astonishing.

Also, it was because Qin Mu's Micro had reached the middle stage that Lin Qi was comfortable letting him train the members of the Martial Arts Hall Defense Corps. After all, progressing from the initial to the middle stage of Micro is not an easy feat.

The Micro Initial Rank simply allows one to grasp the extreme range in combat, evading attacks with minimal movement, and attacking without superfluous actions, allowing a significant increase in attack speed. It's challenging for a peer-level expert to cope; normally, a Refining Organ Realm martial artist can handle several opponents alone.

When one reaches the Micro Middle Stage, it's entirely different. You can instantly change your evasive and attack trajectories during dodges and attacks, move whenever you wish, and stop whenever you want, truly achieving the state of moving like thunder, standing like mountains, and easily fighting across ranks.

As for the Micro High Rank, that's truly terrifying. The control over one's body allows the use of Martial Arts without preparation, executing them as casually as standard attacks. Not only is fighting across levels possible, but fighting across tiers isn't out of the question.

Of course, not every tier of Martial Arts can be reduced to a normal attack at the Micro High Rank. I've tried at most achieving it with High Tier Martial Techniques; anything beyond that level is unfeasible.

Even so, it's still impressive. High Tier Martial Techniques can generally boost strength by 2.5 times, meaning a standard attack can be delivered with 2.5 times the strength. A High Tier Martial Artist can completely compete if given no opportunity for the Bone Forging Realm Middle Tier expert to react.

Were it not for the inability to control his body well after transforming into an Extraordinary Life Form, reaching the Micro High Rank level, he could entirely take on a real Blood Coagulation Realm expert.

"Hall Master, the purpose of establishing the Martial Arts Hall Defense Corps is to protect the Martial Arts Hall. If they are only trained without engaging in combat to refine themselves, they will never grow. Moreover, real combat is entirely different from sparring. Many may perform to their full potential in sparring, but due to mindset issues, they can only exert thirty to forty percent of their full potential in real combat. To reach their full potential, there's no choice but to adapt through real combat, a step they will have to take sooner or later," Qin Mu said seriously. "This city battle, although dangerous, is also an opportunity for the Martial Arts Hall Defense Corps to improve. Missing it would be a pity."

"Alright, you will follow me in action tomorrow," Lin Qi thought for a moment and felt that Qin Mu was right.

He didn't establish the Martial Arts Hall Defense Corps as a decoration but to take over the defense work from players. If they can't be used in combat, there's no point in having them at all.

Moreover, Qin Mu was right. Every step along the martial artist's path is incredibly challenging. Although people in the City Defense Corps may not be as talented as the students in the Genius Training Camp, many of them have achievements surpassing those students.

The main reason is that the City Defense Corps constantly undergoes life-and-death training.

The Martial Arts Hall indeed has plenty of resources that elevate the upper limits of its defense corps members, but if they are just trained, their lifetime limit might only reach the Bone Forging Realm. As for stepping into the Blood Coagulation Realm, that might remain a mere thought.

"Thank you, Hall Master!" Qin Mu couldn't help but get a little excited after hearing this.

"By the way, call those people from the Lion Heart Commerce tomorrow too. Since they paid, they should also experience such real combat opportunities," Lin Qi instructed.

"Is that... okay?" Qin Mu couldn't help but hesitate.

This Lion Heart Commerce paid for help with training, yet they were now also bringing them to the battlefield as cannon fodder. Knowing this would drive the Lion Heart Commerce mad.

"What's not okay about it? Real combat training opportunities like this can't normally be bought with money. We're actually giving them a bargain," Lin Qi was completely indifferent, believing Lion Heart Commerce was making a big gain this time.

Normally, finding a Bone Forging Realm expert to spar with is very difficult outside. Now with the start of the city war, Blood Coagulation Realm is off-limits, and the strongest is the Bone Forging Realm. It's a paradise for real combat practice for Bone Forging Realm experts.

Whereas normal training requires hiring a Bone Forging Realm expert for sparring, which is very costly, now with a whole city's Bone Forging Realm experts to choose from, it's a wonder he didn't charge Lion Heart Commerce extra.

Qin Mu couldn't find words to refute and had to agree, realizing it made so much sense, not expecting to use the members he helped train in this way.

Midnight.

As another batch of newbies appeared in the underground confinement room, the entire place buzzed with activity.

"I'm in! After queuing for over a month, I'm finally in!"

"This game is so realistic, the texture of the clothes is top-notch, but it's unfortunately not pure cotton, must be polyester, it's a bit prickly."

"The impact in this game is really nice, my hand was bleeding from punching the wall, the realism must be 60-70% of reality, I wonder where to buy trauma ointment, I feel like I need to bandage up."

...

The appearance of a hundred newcomers left Fang Zhen and the others, who had returned to the Martial Arts Hall, sighing.

Thinking back to the old days, they came through the same way, simultaneously lamenting how the number of newcomers to this game was increasing remarkably, with many clearly not even having read basic game guides and diving directly in.

"How come there are suddenly so many newbies who don't know anything?" Yiye Fuyun was also a bit shocked watching the foolishly naive newbies before them.
