"Not bad, this game is indeed as amazing as you said. In real life, I lost an arm, but in this game, I'm no different from a normal person, as if my arm was never lost," a tall middle-aged man, nearly two meters in height, sighed. "And as my cultivation grows stronger, especially after becoming a Martial Artist, I even feel much stronger in reality. At least now those newbies can't withstand a punch from me."

Before entering the Descent of High Martial due to Dark Judgment, he was just a disabled instructor, and even the trainee recruits didn't respect him.

He wasn't surprised by this, as the Mercenary Realm was always like this. Power reigned supreme, and only the strongest survived. Living in the universe was like licking blood from the blade; a single misstep might mean death, and only the strong endured.

However, after becoming a Martial Artist, those trainees were now as easy as a punch each, making him doubt whether he was dreaming, especially when using Shattering Stone Fist. A boulder as large as a washbasin was shattered with one punch. Such a game is simply unbelievable.

"Judgment, now we've all become Martial Artists and know that what you said before was true." At this moment, a young man with a scruffy beard, who had reached the rank of Middle Tier Martial Artist, calmly said while looking at Dark Judgment, "None of us here are fools. If you didn't have some ulterior motive, you wouldn't have shared such a good thing with us. Just say what you want."

As the young man in his early thirties spoke, the dozen or so people present all turned serious and looked at Dark Judgment together.

"I wouldn't say it's an ulterior motive. I just want to develop in this game. You've seen the effects; becoming a Martial Artist is just the beginning. As levels rise, there will probably be even more incredible effects."

"Aren't you curious at all? Don't you want to level up? But it's not easy; it gets harder as you go. Never mind our natural talents and insights, even the cultivation resources are not easy to acquire, and you need power for that." Dark Judgment looked seriously at the scruffy-bearded young man and said, "So I want to form a mercenary guild, gather a group of professionals. Like this activity dungeon, if you want to gain benefits, relying on one person's strength is difficult. Gathering these professionals requires more than just me; I need you all to call on your old friends, preferably those with exceptional talent."

Dark Judgment had great respect for the scruffy-bearded young man before him.

Chi Sha!

Known as the "Blade of Hell" by everyone in the Mercenary Realm.

Many in the Mercenary Realm were famous, but Chi Sha before him was a legend, one who had taken down an entire interstellar pirate group by himself, only retiring due to a terminal illness.

He spent a long time contacting Chi Sha.

"Forming a mercenary guild, huh?" Chi Sha thought about it and agreed, "It's a good idea, those retired folks have excellent technical skills. In this game, they should provide immense value. Many things that professional players struggle with would be easy for us. If the guild forms on a large enough scale, we could even make real-world impacts."

As Chi Sha agreed, the dozen or so people present also nodded in agreement, thinking it was indeed a good opportunity.

Although they were a group of disabled individuals now, if they grew stronger in the game, there might be a chance to reach the peak of the Mercenary Realm again, maybe even surpass their former peak.

"Since Brother Chi Sha agrees, after this event, let's quickly contact the others. I'll also quickly advance to the Bone Forging Realm and form the Defense Corps." Dark Judgment smiled as he saw that everyone present agreed.

Previous player guilds were strong in the game, but speaking of practical combat experience and exploration, they couldn't compare to these seasoned mercenaries, not to mention the renowned figures in the Mercenary Realm. Once their levels increase, surpassing the current four major Defense Corps would be easy.

Meanwhile, the four major Defense Corps were also preparing for action.

"It's a pity Elder Yu Tian missed completing the last step of bone refining, otherwise we could have five Bone Forging Realm experts, giving us an overwhelming advantage among the four major Defense Corps." Twilight of the Gods glanced at the leaders of Lu Fanchen, Fang Zhen, and Yiye Fuyun's Defense Corps, feeling it a pity.

In the past few days, due to the event dungeon, being ranked within the top 999 was a must to participate. Furthermore, the dungeon introduction mentioned a large number of Blood Coagulation Realm monsters and many NPC factions sending teams to compete, making everyone frantically increase their levels and strength.

Within just a few days, Lu Fanchen's group had three people advance to the Bone Forging Realm. Fang Zhen's group similarly had three, and Yiye Fuyun had two, along with freelance player Xiao Yuan tirelessly joining the Bone Forging Realm, leaving Celestial Might with only four, which wasn't much of an advantage.

"It doesn't matter; in this event, while individual strength is important, team strength matters more. After all, the activity map is enormous, with many areas to explore. The official announcement even mentions hidden Easter eggs, and these require a large number of manpower to achieve. Once we complete the main storyline guide and gain freedom of action, our advantages will come into play." Luo Wushang glanced at the other three major Defense Corps with confidence in her eyes.

This event was extraordinary; aside from dungeons possibly dropping hidden Training Techniques and Extraordinary Level martial arts, the player with the highest contribution would receive an extra reward: access to the third layer of the Cultivation Tower. She invested heavily for this.

The Cultivation Tower's effect was evident from many core disciple players controlling bind points at both locations, using the Cultivation Tower for training, which had already driven everyone crazy.

Training inside the Cultivation Tower was over twice as fast as the outside, and the rumored third layer was said to be several times faster, though it hadn't yet been opened to players.

After reaching the Bone Forging Realm, although the proficiency of training techniques increased rapidly, refining all the bones in the body was a time-consuming art. Increasing proficiency didn't accelerate refining speed much, resulting in the third layer of the Training Technique reaching an entry-level of 39%, but the level of bone refinement hadn't increased much. The energy needed was purer and denser as you progressed; otherwise, it was hard to further refine the bones.

Speeding up the refinement required compressing purified energy. Type Three Energy Potion and rich external energy could greatly reduce energy refining time and accelerate bone refinement. Combining energy potions and external energy had a stacking effect, and if combined with a gravitational environment, it would be even better.

The game now offers access to the third layer of the Cultivation Tower. If she could seize it, her training speed would exceed that of other players, so she spared no effort.

Spending a massive amount of funds and using a super quantum computer for over a day, she deduced a ten-man battle array, often used in the Pilgrimage Guild's large-scale battles, that involved players collaborating, merging their power into one player to unleash power far beyond a single player's capabilities.

This battle array required high player cooperation but fortunately had been learned by hundreds of High Tier Martial Artists in the guild. Ten players working together could amplify a single player's power by threefold, making martial arts three times as powerful.

Thus, even just a Super Tier Martial Technique would have strength far surpassing that of Extraordinary Martial Techniques, giving her confidence to slay a Blood Coagulation Realm boss.

As players eagerly anticipated, the Sky Giant Ship from Domain City spent half a day reaching a colossal mountain range shrouded in mist.

Upon arriving at the hundreds of kilometers-long mountain range, players were quickly amazed by the sight before their eyes.

Before two peaks, tens of kilometers high, there were hundreds of Sky Giant Ships docked, again making players feel the game's makers were extraordinary; just this activity dungeon's investment could bankrupt many large gaming companies.

As players were awestruck, a terrifying giant ship over six hundred meters long suddenly passed by, emblazoned with a crimson flame insignia, causing Priscilla on the Sky Giant Ship to suddenly frown.

"Earth Star Pharmaceutical?"

"How could this be?!"
