Summoning Players into My Game Chapter 738 - 378: Liberation of Canglan Star (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

Red Moon City, Mist Mountain Region.

Surpassing twenty million native disciples in the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, the city's boundaries keep stretching outward, now spanning several times the size of neighboring cities and claiming the title of the biggest in the Mist Mountain Region, rivaled only by Mist Mountain Domain City.

Its resident count has rocketed past sixty million, where the lowliest dwellers rank as intermediate apprentices and martial artists form the bulk. Bone Forger Realm martial artists fill the streets, and Blood Coagulation Realm city lords appear routinely.

Red Moon City reigns supreme as the martial artists' haven in every Mist Mountain Region resident's mind. Those chasing martial arts glory flock here to thrive, differing from old domain cities that demand passing tests for entry. No barriers exist in Red Moon City; survive here, and you're welcome indefinitely.

Observers from the three great domain cities, stationed across from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, gape daily at the endless assessment queues and the steady flow of disciples entering and exiting.

"The Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's growth is downright shocking. Our three major domain cities stick to enlisting only geniuses, yet it accepts everyone without such barriers. Age aside, meeting the requirements gets you in. Plus, they impart rare advanced martial arts and training methods, and you can access all sorts of cultivation facilities freely with enough points," sighed the Third Elder from the Sky-reaching Hotel, eyes fixed on the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. "Keep this up, and forget the gray-clothed disciples—even the rest could outpace our three major domain cities in a single year."

These investigators, embedded in Red Moon City to probe the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's every facet, grow more astounded with each discovery.

While gray-clothed disciples stand as the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's mightiest, the vast ranks of other recruits prove no slouches. These alternative disciples explode in strength at an incredible pace, transforming visibly each day.

Beyond elite disciples, the inner sect disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall surge ahead swiftly. Many martial artist inner sect members, scrutinized in their probes, leaped from early-stage to mid-stage in mere twenty days, with standouts vaulting from mid to high tier. All wield impressive martial arts, their battle prowess at each level crushing peers from other cities.

Inner sect Bone Forging Realm disciples shine just as brightly in their tiers, matching the three major domain cities' top prodigies. Merely the ultimate geniuses overpower them effortlessly—but only against those inner sect ones. Against same-realm elite disciples from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, they fall short.

Boasting almost one million inner sect disciples and close to a hundred thousand elites, rumors swirl of five thousand core disciples towering above them. Even united, the three major domain cities can't match this genius horde.

He now yearns for the three major domain cities to mimic the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, broadening intake to empower more from the three domains; fail that, and they'll trail ever farther behind.

Yet as the Third Elder gazed silently at the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, a knock echoed at his suite door, followed by Shadow Tiger and Ling Ye bursting inside.

"What's wrong? Why do you both look so panicked?" The Third Elder eyed them, baffled by their anxious faces.

Shadow Tiger, Ling Ye, and Yi Feng—these three disciples—had formally enlisted in the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall long ago, positioning Shadow Tiger as Celestial River Domain City's key spy on it. They typically lingered there, training while collecting secrets.

The sky hasn’t turned dark yet, nowhere near the moment to submit their daily investigation reports, making Shadow Tiger and Ling Ye’s frantic arrival all the more bizarre.

Taking a deep breath, Shadow Tiger spoke in a hushed tone, "Teacher, I just picked up some news inside the Martial Arts Hall. Recently, the disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall wiped out a grandmaster force from the three major domain cities in the Wraith Mountain Range and seized our three domain city lords."

"Wiped out a grandmaster army? Seized three city lords? Impossible!" The Third Elder recoiled in shock at the revelation, then swiftly countered, "The three city lords are all great grandmasters, and the Hall Master of Red Moon City along with those four great grandmasters remain in the city. How could the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall possibly handle the three city lords? This has to be the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall attempting to rattle your determination—don’t buy into it."

"Yet this news has already circulated throughout the Martial Arts Hall," Ling Ye clarified. "Right now, numerous disciples in the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall are talking about it, and some senior Hall members are even rallying forces to swallow up the three domain cities."

"Already rallying forces to swallow the three domain cities? How can that be?" The Third Elder froze in stunned silence for a beat.

Only moments before, he’d been mulling over urging the three major domain cities to mimic the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall once he got back, allowing them to challenge it down the line. In the end, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall dominated just one domain, whereas their three major domain cities held three, letting them draw in far more promising talents. Even without rivaling cultivation setups, they could still compete via overwhelming numbers.

Yet now, learning the city lords of the three major domain cities were captured amounted to declaring those cities doomed.

What made a domain city a domain city was its great grandmaster lord standing guard. With the city lord captured, how could such a city possibly hold sway over a domain?
