Chasing Light City, in front of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

As players boarded the flying transport vehicles, one after another soaring towards the Sky Giant Ship overhead, thousands of players eliminated from the Martial Arts Hall watched in envy and jealousy.

"This time the super dungeon opened 999 slots. Unfortunately, I've been a Martial Artist for too short a time. I just can't compete against those guild Martial Artists, and I was directly blocked outside the 999. I can't believe I missed out on the hidden Advanced Profession just like that."

"It's getting tougher and tougher for lone wolf players in this game. Those major game guilds are now exploiting a bug in the excavation test, frantically letting their internal members train in martial arts, contemplation techniques, and breathing techniques in advance. By the time they enter the game, their Shattering Stone Fist and Leopard Shadow Step, along with their breathing and contemplation techniques, have already reached a high level. Entering the game, they're basically intermediate apprentices. It's a pity that when I entered, my breathing techniques were mediocre, and I was just a basic apprentice in the game, starting off a notch behind those guild players."

"Yeah, this game is getting more and more competitive. It used to be competitive within the game, now it's even competitive outside of it. Just a few days ago, I saw Master Xiaoyuan's update on how to train before entering the game to start out as an intermediate apprentice. That video's views were staggering, exceeding 500,000 in just a short hour, and over 5 million in a day. It even went viral, making many people who don't play Descent of High Martial curious about what kind of game it is. People have seen game reservation rewards, but never reservation training for a game."

"I watched that video too. The comments were full of complaints, saying the game developers are extremely shameless, making those who can't even play the game think up ways to pay. Obviously, the game hasn't even started, and if you want a good foundation, you're forced to train to the extreme. It's ridiculous."

"Even so, many people who have reserved Descent of High Martial are training according to Master Xiaoyuan's guide, hoping for a good foundation when entering the game. After all, not only is the gameplay getting more refined, but the game map is also the largest in the entire game, and with 100% virtual reality, I heard some real estate developers are planning to enter Descent of High Martial to develop land for a paradise for the wealthy, allowing rich people in the real world to log in for vacations anytime. I even heard that the land by the lakeside near Red Moon Town has been bought in advance by the Mythical Paradise guild."

"I've heard that too. In order to collaborate, those real estate developers also provided a large amount of funding to recruit new players for Mythical Paradise, offering incredibly high salaries. Many new players in the game have quit their jobs to join, making Mythical Paradise's numbers skyrocket to nearly 300, second only to Celestial Might."

"Celestial Might and Mythical Paradise directly secured nearly 500 slots in this event, and with people from the Mechanical God Guild and Sky Dome Guild, we free players account for less than 20%. Competing with these guilds in future events might be even more difficult."

"Not necessarily, this time a few solo newcomers broke into the top 200. Their leveling speed is terrifying, reaching High Tier Martial Artist level in less than ten days. It's just not human. This game's leveling is different from others; you don't need to grind monster experience. It's all about comprehension. If you have high comprehension and enough cultivation resources, your level can increase rapidly. On the contrary, if your comprehension is lacking, even with sufficient resources, you'll be stuck at your level. As more and more players train, even if the guild players have decent talent, compared to the vast number of players, they aren't worth mentioning."

The eliminated players in the Martial Arts Hall watched the players being sent into the Sky Giant Ship, discussing fervently how the game is getting more and more competitive.

Previously, they were just competing with in-game players, and now they have to compete with players outside the game. Even veteran players who entered the game early are at risk of being surpassed by newcomers, forcing them to spend more time training in the game.

After all, Descent of High Martial is becoming more and more popular. Just the number of reservations has surpassed seven million, and more and more real-world companies are starting to focus on the potential value of Descent of High Martial.

If these players who entered the game early don't step up their game, it will be difficult for them to make a big profit in Descent of High Martial in the future.

On the Sky Giant Ship in Domain City, a large group of players followed Lin Qi to the deck, quietly waiting for this event to start. More than a dozen players wearing B6 Level Battle Armor, whose strength had already reached the initial stage Martial Artist level, gathered beside Dark Judgment.

"How about it, everyone? Wasn't this game just as I said?" Dark Judgment, who had already reached the pinnacle of High Tier Martial Artist, looked at the dozen-plus players in front of him with a smile.

The dozen-plus players in front of him were recruited with great difficulty from various mercenary corps. These people were originally celebrities in the Mercenary Realm but were forced to retire and return to ordinary lives due to injuries and disabilities.

After discovering the potential of Descent of High Martial, besides having his trainees play it, he also found ways to contact these retired mercenaries he had good relations with, bringing them into Descent of High Martial.

After all, these people were celebrities in the Mercenary Realm, having experienced real combat and slaughter, far beyond what any game professional player could compare to. They were professionals in battle, wilderness skirmishes, and exploration.

With a 100% virtual reality environment, these people could play to their strengths fully. Even due to cultivation, their physical fitness surpassed reality, allowing them to exert even greater strength.
