Summoning Players into My Game-Chapter 542 - 311: Amidst the Turbulent Star Sea, a Cold Blade Commands Order
"Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?"
"Are you sure there’s no mistake?"
The young man with the white mask looked at his subordinate who was reporting, and couldn’t help but confirm it again and again.
What he thought was just a rising power in the Mist Mountain Region with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, posing no threat to their Red Moon Commerce. Unexpectedly, just as Elder Kui Wolf was about to take action, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall gave them a fierce counterattack.
Within Chasing Light City, half of his shop’s revenue from selling B Level Battle Armor came from the various gangs in the city.
Although these gangs weren’t particularly strong, with few martial artists even in suburban gangs, they controlled many micro energy ore veins in the wild. They would often trade with vagabonds and acquire valuable items to sell to him, bringing him considerable profit.
If all these gangs spent their savings on buying weapons, his store’s future profits would halve. Forget about being promoted to general manager by the end of the year; he’d be lucky not to be sent to the Restricted Area by headquarters.
"Absolutely certain." The young man from the Blood Pattern Race nodded, "All the major shops selling those weapons require the Thunder Light Palm to activate, which is exclusive to the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. Only those gray-clothed disciples and members of the Martial Arts Hall Defense Corps can learn it. Now, when buying those weapons, they directly get the upper volume of the Thunder Light Palm. It’s certain that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is selling them, and it’s not just happening in Chasing Light City; it seems that all major cities in the Mist Mountain Region are selling them."
"I understand. Go and rest now."
The young man with the white mask let out a deep breath, with a hint of helplessness in his words. After dismissing his subordinate, he silently entered an underground secret chamber after a long pause.
At this moment, within the secret chamber, an elder from the Blood Pattern Race was cultivating. His every breath stirred a terrifying energy storm in the room. This elder was Kui Wolf, one of the few martial artists at the limit of the Blood Coagulation Realm High Tier in the Mist Mountain Region, a master even in the Mist Mountain Domain City.
Kui Wolf continued sensing the young man with the white mask arriving, so he stopped his routine cultivation.
"What’s the matter? Has anyone from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall come to trade?" Kui Wolf asked excitedly.
He was just half a step away from the legendary Heavenly Human Realm, but with his current Celestial Human Realm Initial Tier Cultivation Method, the hope of reaching the Heavenly Human Realm was slim.
To increase his success rate, he had to make a significant contribution to the Red Moon Commerce to exchange for great treasures from headquarters.
A hundred Guard Robots and a Super Limit Level Martial Skill—such a contribution would allow him to exchange for great treasures, giving him the final push to the Heavenly Human Realm. Once successful, the sky would be the limit.
"Elder Kui Wolf, this is what the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall has done." The young man with the white mask said as he took out a compiled report. "Now, because of the sudden sale of those weapons by the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, B Level Battle Armor has become a joke. It’s not just my shop; it’s estimated that all stores in the cities across the Mist Mountain Region will see their profits halved..."
If only his store’s revenue was halved, he might have been able to hide it from headquarters. But with all major cities in the Mist Mountain Region seeing their store revenues halved, it would definitely alarm headquarters, and hiding it would be impossible.
When headquarters investigates the cause, there will be hell to pay.
"What a Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, what a Lin Qi!" Kui Wolf looked at the report in his hand, his expression dark as water. In his agitation, he crushed the report to powder. The scattered qi and blood even nearly knocked the young man with the white mask, who had the limit of Bone Forging Realm High Tier strength, to the ground.
"Elder Kui Wolf, what should we do now?" The young man with the white mask asked anxiously. "This matter will surely reach headquarters soon."
After pondering for a moment, Kui Wolf directly took out a blood-red pendant and handed it to the young man with the white mask, saying seriously, "Since the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall isn’t in a hurry, let’s add some pressure on them. Take this pendant to the Dragon Hunting Corps; they’ve been active in the Celestial River Region lately. Ask them to help Smiling Skull clear out the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall disciples in the Wraith Mountain Range. I’m sure they won’t refuse."
"Directly activating the Dragon Hunting Corps?" The young man with the white mask looked at the blood-red pendant in his hand, his voice trembling slightly.
The Red Moon Commerce has over a dozen corps operating in the Restricted Area, which are also symbols of the commerce’s strength. Among them, the Dragon Hunting Corps is one of the top five powerful corps in these groups, hunting high-tier Catastrophe Level Monsters with ease.
Normally, these corps only answer to the headquarters president, and even the commerce’s elders are only on par with the corps commanders. The Dragon Hunting Corps usually doesn’t even give face to the commerce’s chief elder, so it’s hard to imagine that one blood-red pendant could summon the Dragon Hunting Corps.
"Hurry and return quickly. I’ll try to suppress the news in various cities." Kui Wolf ordered directly.
"Yes!" The young man with the white mask nodded and left immediately, not daring to linger for a moment longer.

Three days later, at dawn.
In Red Moon Town, inside the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s Intermediate Gravity Room.
Seated cross-legged in the Intermediate Gravity Room, Lin Qi’s entire body suddenly trembled. His body, muscular like a bull from long-term training, began to deflate like a punctured balloon, with his muscles and even his frame shrinking.
From an over two-meter tall figure, he returned to his original height of one meter eighty in less than ten seconds, with his muscles transforming to a build as balanced as a leopard’s.
"Great! The Body Strengthening Secret Technique Second Realm Perfection is achieved!" Lin Qi opened his eyes to look at his body, feeling a deep sense of joy in his heart.
