I am trying to create an arc generator and I have read about the marx generator but I am looking into more compact modules like the image below. All the ones I have found seem to be fake and actually supply less than 1/10th of what they are advertising.
Is there any reliable way of generating a (non-continuous) super high voltage arc?

Of course. One common example of something similar (although not as extreme as your specs) is using 12 V in a car to make several 10s of kV to fire the spark plugs.
The same concept can be scaled up to make higher output voltages. It won't be easy to build something with that stepup ratio and output voltage yourself, but the physics is certainly possible.
