Chapter 1550: Chapter 1195: Major Event! The Families’ Astonishing Move

"Village chief, we are leaving temporarily, the time may not be long. I hope in the new expansion, you can continue to stand proudly at the pinnacle of the martial world and lead us to advance higher."

"The Black Wind Village Chief released a major power task. An ancient mysterious force suspected to be the God-searching Palace has emerged, posing a strong threat to the Black Wind Village. Just at this critical moment, the Mixed Martial Arts World unexpectedly welcomes its first expansion update. I suspect this update could be epoch-making, maybe the Black Wind Village led by the chief has reached its limit."

"It’s been almost three years since people said our Grandmaster has reached his limit. Let me ask, has our Grandmaster fallen? Instead, all his opponents have fallen. I doubt this mysterious ancient force will be any different."

"Since the Four Great Families emphasize that the Mixed Martial Arts World is a real world, then they certainly have no ability to interfere with or impact this world, at least not significantly. So what’s the purpose of this so-called expansion update this time?"

"Let’s wait for the Jianghu Forum to release an announcement! It’s just a pity that there will be a month when we can’t enter the Mixed Martial Arts World. I wonder what changes will happen a month later when we go back in."

"A month isn’t really long. The vast majority of NPCs and sects won’t have too much change. Only the conflict between the Black Wind Village and that mysterious ancient force is worth watching, but I’m afraid only the Four Great Families will be able to witness it."

"Complain! We must complain about the Four Great Families! Complain to the Supreme Alliance. Although the Four Great Families were granted the development rights of the Mixed Martial Arts World by the Supreme Alliance, they must also be supervised by the Supreme Alliance to ensure development, at least they cannot toy with us players who enter the Mixed Martial Arts World. This time, they launched a new expansion unexpectedly, already infringing on the interests of many of us. We need a reasonable explanation."

"..."

As players began exiting the Mixed Martial Arts World one after another, the Jianghu Forum became unprecedentedly lively.

This might be the first time, apart from when the Mixed Martial Arts World was officially opened for testing, that players can only gather on the Jianghu Forum to discuss. And this time, the number of people gathered on the forum far exceeds the number during the testing period.

Countless players soaked in the Mixed Martial Arts World, fiercely discussing this initial expansion update event, with quite a number of players strongly condemning this unexpected expansion update, clearly expressing dissatisfaction with the Four Great Families.

Jiang Dali, though journeying within the Mixed Martial Arts World towards Shaolin, was also constantly monitoring the movements on the Jianghu Forum.

The launching of the new expansion fully indicates that the current development process has completely diverged from the previous life. Jiang Dali is also very concerned about the attitude and purpose of the Four Great Families.

If the Four Great Families really reached some kind of cooperation with the Wan Family, thus kicking him, who originally had a close connection, out of the game, then the situation would become more complicated and dangerous.

At least, for now, this move by the Four Great Families has already harmed his interests.

Players collectively disappearing from the Mixed Martial Arts World for a month would severely hinder his development.

Originally, Jiang Dali planned to quickly collect players’ Cultivation Points and Potential Points in the next month by releasing major power tasks and utilizing cultivation technique discounts, aiming to accumulate twenty million Cultivation Points and Potential Points to break through to the 7th realm of Returning to Truth, thus basically having the power to counter the Eternal Life God.

But now, with players collectively offline, his goal has fallen through.

Now Jiang Dali also wants to see how the Four Great Families will respond to the vast number of players, and even in his heart, some dangerous guesses have emerged - did the families recognize the players’ impact on him? Did they learn his identity through some means? Will it be revealed that he exposed something?

These guesses are not entirely impossible.

After all, he is a person, and people make mistakes, have weaknesses that can be discovered, especially when so many eyes are watching him.

So... now, with the enemy in the dark and me in the light, he must know the purpose of the families.

And the vast number of angry, condemning players have also become his helpers, weapons to force the Four Great Families to immediately express their stance.

In such an unprecedented situation, the Four Great Families could not possibly completely ignore and not explain.

After all, some of the actions by the Four Great Families also need to be supervised by the Supreme Alliance.

The Supreme Alliance is composed of the top tier of the Four Great Families and a small number of privileged figures who discovered the Mixed Martial Arts World, belonging to a consortium of elder decision-making groups.

And many actions by the Four Great Families must be supervised and constrained by the Supreme Alliance, with decisions voted on by Supreme Alliance members. As for the various forces, consortia, guilds established by the Four Great Families within the Mixed Martial Arts World, these are formed by absorbing many outstanding members to build Mixed Martial Arts power.

Therefore, essentially, this big move of launching a new expansion update must have been informed in advance to the Supreme Alliance and granted permission, there certainly must be a reasonable explanation.

Jiang Dali and many players waited not long before they saw the joint announcement statement by the Four Great Families on the Jianghu Forum.

"Notice to our esteemed Mixed Martial Arts World players: This update to the Mixed Martial Arts World expansion has been applied to and approved by the Supreme Alliance in advance, but the content of the expansion update is an internal secret and cannot be disclosed. The specific changes will only be explored and experienced by players themselves when re-entering the Mixed Martial Arts World after a month when the update is complete.

To compensate players for their losses during this period, when players re-enter the Mixed Martial Arts World after a month, they can take part in compensation raffles at each of our Four Great Families’ points. At the minimum, they will receive Human Rank Skill and third-grade named weapon, and at the maximum, they could obtain Heavenly Rank Absolute Skill and first-grade named weapon.

Additionally, the Supreme Alliance will also cooperate to open the newly researched Internal Cultivation Methods of the Mixed Martial Arts World, whereby players can collect and attempt to experience soon..."

"What... did they actually research out Internal Cultivation Methods outside?"

Seeing the final part, Jiang Dali couldn’t help but be shocked inside.

This whole announcement is bureaucratic, seemingly saying something but revealing no important information, leaving people completely unable to guess the purpose of the Four Great Families’ expansion update or what the update is about.

If it were in ordinary times, players would definitely explode in anger, even leading to a large number of players completely leaving the Mixed Martial Arts World, refusing to serve the Four Sons, a vicious incident that would definitely not be desired by the Four Great Families.

But now, not only did the Four Great Families make a grand offer with guaranteed rich rewards through the raffle activities, but they also announced that the Supreme Alliance had researched something similar to the Internal Cultivation Methods of the Mixed Martial Arts World, allowing players to try learning.

This is simply overwhelming!

It completely extinguished most of the players’ anger and diverted their attention, even Jiang Dali felt shocked.

Not to mention the millions of players who entered the Mixed Martial Arts World, accounting for a quarter of the external population, practically making it a world where everyone learns martial arts.

The Four Great Families are willing to offer millions of rewards, even if many martial arts are repeated, it is undoubtedly a huge investment.

The Internal Cultivation Methods emerging in this Mixed Martial Arts World have fully realized the slogan once promoted by the families—martial arts in the Mixed Martial Arts World might have the potential to be learned in reality, achieving the goal of enhancing one’s physical health.

Initially, many players entering the Mixed Martial Arts World treated the notion that the martial arts world is the real world and martial arts can enhance physical health as two advertising jokes.

But now, could the joke actually become reality?

This is tremendously sensational news!

Compared to this, updates of any information now seem insignificant.

"The world has changed... The Four Great Families must have major plans. Damn it!"

Jiang Dali looked seriously at the forum filled with shock and uproar, feeling that events were beginning to exceed expectations and control.

He once regarded the Four Great Families as the greatest threat, worrying that if the families controlled the Mixed Martial Arts World they would discover his existence, eliminate him, or render him unable to leave the martial arts world.

But as his power grew, for a long time, people from the Four Great Families had to rely on him to survive, and needed to cooperate with him for better development, making him gradually feel that the families were not as formidable as initially thought, though he still had to be cautious and alert.

But now it seems...

The Four Great Families indeed deserve their reputation, even though he has been reborn and rapidly established such a huge advantage in the Mixed Martial Arts World, the families still possess the power to change the landscape.

Compared to his control over players, the Four Great Families truly control the players!

If the Internal Cultivation Methods researched by the Supreme Alliance are true, the control and attraction the families have over players will significantly increase, altering the previous situation where they were ridiculed as the four children, thus weakening his control over players. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

After all, compared to the benefits he provides within the Mixed Martial Arts World, the families offer benefits that directly apply to the players themselves, completely different from those in entertainment and fame.

Currently, it seems highly likely that the internal cultivation methods studied by the Supreme Alliance are true.

Since the Mixed Martial Arts World is indeed a real world, if everything is real, martial arts and heart methods naturally might be learned too.

Initially, ordinary players could not match the understanding of martial arts possessed by disciples from martial arts families like the Heartbroken Little Knife when they entered the martial arts world.

The talents from martial arts families are indeed the strongest force in studying martial arts in the Mixed Martial Arts World.

Jiang Dali exited the forum full of revelry, and his mixed feelings soon returned to calm in the original mind state, carefree, neither joyful nor sad.

Indeed, the current situation is complex and dangerous.

For him, it might be the most dangerous moment since his initial rise, but not enough to cause him to lose composure or feel fear.

Before players entered the Mixed Martial Arts World, he could develop slowly in it over two years, rising from an ordinary mountain bandit to the position of Third Master.

Now, he is the Black Wind Village Chief revered by everyone in the Marquis Country, even with formidable enemies surrounding and a dangerous situation, he has strong capabilities and many loyal brothers and confidants. Facing challenges, what is there to fear?

"I, Jiang Dali, attained my present status and powerful strength not merely by exploiting players like leeks, but from my own hard-earned cultivation!"

Jiang Dali coldly snorted to himself, suddenly drawing the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber from his back, pressing the Breaking Realm Pearl on the handle, his eyes brightly looking at Nie Renwang, Zhu Wushi, and others on the dragon’s back as he spoke with a smile.

"Everyone, it will take two days to reach Shaolin, let’s use this opportunity to condense the Three Elements with the Breaking Realm Pearl and strive to further enhance our strength. Mr. Zhu, you have never used the Breaking Realm Pearl, how about giving it a try? Catch!"

Whoosh—

The long saber pierced the air, heading straight for Zhu Wushi...
