System: Beginning integration.

System: Integration rate 1%... 3%... 6%...

Lin Qi watched the progress bar slowly rise at the bottom of his vision, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

Originally, his plan was to wait until Luo Wushang's Sword Step and Xiaoyuan's frenzied Cloud-Soaring Step both reached Sixth Rank level before proceeding with the final integration, thus ensuring a 100% chance to combine into a high-tier martial artist level Martial Arts.

Now, with two martial artist level Martial Arts and one high-tier martial artist level Martial Arts, the probability of success wasn't very favorable.

But there were only a few days left before he had to head to the front lines, and anything could happen in the uninhabited zones. After all, he wasn't a player who could respawn infinitely, and having an extra means of survival was always a good thing.

Less than ten minutes into Lin Qi's wait, the system prompted once more.

System: Congratulations to the host for triggering the advanced hidden authority "Preaching and Teaching." The number of Martial Arts Academy Disciples recruited has reached three thousand, activating the Martial Arts Hall random reward wheel. Currently, reward levels range from One-Star to Four-Star. For every additional thousand disciples, the reward wheel can be spun once. Remaining attempts: 3.

"What's happening?"

"Three thousand Martial Arts Academy Disciples?"

Lin Qi was stunned as he looked at the sudden system prompt.

The current player limit had reached 500, but the actual number of players was only 360. No matter how he looked at it, the system shouldn't make such a mistake.

"Could it be that those Martial Arts Hall members recruited today also count as genuine Martial Arts Academy Disciples?"

The more Lin Qi thought about it, the more he felt it was likely. Otherwise, reaching three thousand Martial Arts Academy Disciples would be difficult, and the system also encouraged him to train the local residents.

"But this system is really stingy. Only one reward attempt is granted for every thousand recruits, and given the current recruitment conditions of the Martial Arts Hall, those under 20 must reach the level of a Basic Apprentice, those 20 to 25 must reach Intermediate Apprentice level, and those 25 to 30 must reach Advanced Apprentice level. Anyone over 30 must be at the level of a quasi-Martial Artist. Not many in Chasing Light City can meet these standards."

"Should I lower the recruitment conditions a bit?"

But Lin Qi quickly shook his head, deciding not to lower the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's recruitment conditions.

In this high-Martial Arts world where strength reigns supreme, resources are limited. It's not easy for Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to earn resources, let alone the fact that local residents don't have much use to the current Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall until they become martial artists.

Even if resources were abundant, it was no easy task for local residents of the world to become martial artists, let alone when resources are not sufficient.

As a force that already holds three districts in the suburbs, Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's recruitment standards are already quite low. If they were any lower, it would truly become a charity.

According to the standards of Chasing Light City, even the worst high school students of the Martial Arts Class are Basic Apprentices. Otherwise, they wouldn't qualify for the Martial Arts Class. As for the major Martial Arts Halls in the suburbs, becoming an official disciple is nearly impossible for high school students without reaching Intermediate Apprentice level. Here, just being a Basic Apprentice is enough.

If one can't even reach this level, they truly have no talent for becoming a martial artist, let alone aspiring to be one in the future.

After deciding not to lower the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's recruitment standards, Lin Qi turned his attention to the Martial Arts Hall reward wheel that had appeared on the system panel.

"Even though there's only one reward for every thousand recruits, it's still a freebie. Might as well try my luck."

Lin Qi clicked on the Martial Arts Hall reward wheel, and a colossal wheel that obscured the sky instantly appeared in his mind.

The entire wheel had a thousand segments, with One-Star rewards marked in white, Two-Star rewards in green, Three-Star in blue, and Four-Star in purple.

The white segments dominated the wheel, occupying a full ninety percent. Green segments for Two-Star rewards took up ninety segments, while the blue for Three-Star and purple for Four-Star were easy to count at a glance.

Blue had nine segments, and purple one segment.

"A Four-Star reward only has a 0.1% chance, Three-Star 0.9%, and Two-Star 9%. This wheel is really a rip-off." Lin Qi looked at the enormous reward wheel in his mind, suddenly feeling that the three attempts he had weren't as enticing.

Even recruiting ten thousand people at Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, with ten chances to draw, might only yield one Two-Star reward.

Ten thousand!

It's not just the players to worry about. Even obtaining Level 2 Managerial Authority might be a stretch. As for the three districts currently controlled by Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, the total number of recruits might be about that, and that's because the recruitment conditions are low. If they were higher, as with other suburban forces, numbers might drop below three thousand.

As a city co-built by multiple races, the Human Race does not make up much of Chasing Light City. People of other races are usually very wary of other races, which is why most people only join their racial force, and those who join forces of other races are considered outliers.

Lin Qi couldn't help but let out a deep sigh, feeling that the newly opened Martial Arts Hall reward wheel function was a bit of a letdown. To get a Four-Star reward from the wheel, even if the territory were expanded to the whole city, it might not happen.

"Oh well, having something is better than nothing." Lin Qi directly chose to spin the wheel.

Rumble!

The enormous wheel that obscured the sky suddenly spun wildly, and even with Lin Qi's extraordinary dynamic vision, he couldn't make out anything.

"Stop!"
