Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God
Chapter Summary
Lonely Snow’s normal attacks only dealt around 200 damage, and his overall damage output could not even compare to Blackie’s. ” Looking at the damage Shi Feng had caused, Blackie and Lonely Snow forgot to continue attacking the Golden Fish as their eyes filled with fanaticism and excitement. In the end, Shi Feng had only spent about 100 seconds to capture a Golden Fish, using around two-fifths of Blackie and Lonely Snow’s time.
Chapter 150: Star River Valley After Shi Feng rejected the call, he continued searching for Swamp Hippos.
“He actually rejected…” South Wolf looked at the rejection notification, feeling a sense of discomfort in his heart.
Normally, those with social standings would earnestly wish to converse with him in order to form friendly ties.
Now, however, he was actually met with a situation like this.
It was definitely a first for him.
However, the ones above had already given him the command to make contact with Shi Feng.
Hence, he could only endure it and continue attempting to contact Shi Feng.
After he reported the information about Shi Feng and the flame, Underworld carried out an analysis on the effects of the flame.
They immediately discovered that the flame was definitely extremely precious, and there was over a 70% chance that it could possibly be an Epic ranked item.
Hence, South Wolf was tasked with negotiating with Shi Feng to obtain the flame for Underworld.
South Wolf sucked in a few deep breaths, calming down his mood.
He then sent another communication request to Shi Feng.
However, every single request for communication was met with rejection.
“Crap!
I can’t believe this!
Let’s see how long you can keep on rejecting my calls!
” South Wolf sent a communication request once more.
“This is getting irritating…” Shi Feng rejected the request once again.
He then adjusted the system settings to stop receiving calls from strangers.
After turning off the system interface, Shi Feng suddenly felt that the world became much more peaceful and serene than before.
“Leader, I discovered a very special place here!
The rivers are actually flowing in mid-air!
There are also lots of golden-colored fish swimming in the silver-colored river!
Moreover, these fish are all Level 20 Special Elites!
” Lonely Snow suddenly said in the party chat, his voice containing great excitement.
“A group of Level 20 Special Elite fish?
Isn’t this too much of an exaggeration?
Lonely Snow, are you sure you saw right?
” Blackie did not believe Lonely Snow’s words at all.
Special Elites!
They were much stronger than ordinary Elite monsters.
The reason being, Special Elites were very outstanding in a particular field.
If it were not in terms of speed, then it would either be in terms of strength, magic, or something else.
There were extremely few Special Elites in God’s Domain, and their rarity was comparable to Rare Elites.
Not to mention finding a group of Special Elites, even meeting with a single one was extremely difficult.
“It’s true!
If you don’t believe me, I’ll send you a picture of it!
” After taking a look at the picture, it was indeed as Lonely Snow said.
The location in the picture was like a wonderland on earth, dazzlingly beautiful.
It was truly hard to imagine that the dark and damp Silent Swamp would have such a location in it.
There were hundreds of big golden fish in the silver river, and they all shone brilliantly, creating a dazzling sight.
“Golden-colored fish?
” Shi Feng entered deep thought as he looked at the golden fish in the river.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, “What are the coordinates?
I’ll come over immediately.
” When Shi Feng and Blackie arrived at the silver-colored river, they discovered that this river was actually moving in position, though it moved at an extremely slow speed.
Shi Feng and Blackie only managed to locate this river due to Lonely Snow continuously following it.
As expected… It is the Star River Valley.
Shi Feng smiled.
Star River Valley was one of the rarely seen marvels in God’s Domain.
These marvels would usually appear at maps that were below Level 50.
Any players that were able to meet such marvels were all extremely lucky, as this meeting represented an opportunity.
Shi Feng had once heard of a player obtaining a Fine-Gold ranked item from the Star River Valley.
There was even a player who obtained an Epic ranked item, causing others to feel envious.
However, there were also rumors that the person was just lying.
“Brother Feng, how do we deal with these big golden fish?
” Blackie felt a headache coming on just from looking at all the big golden fishes swimming in the silver-colored river.
[Golden Fish] (Special Elite) Level 20 HP 100,000/100,000 Ignoring the level suppression, Attack, and Defense of the Golden Fishes, just their 100,000 HP was enough to bring a person to despair.
“These Golden Fish are swimming in a river that’s floating in mid-air.
I’ve previously tested it out before, and I couldn’t land an attack at all.
However, if we solely depended on Blackie’s magical attacks, the damage dealt might not even match up with the Golden Fish’s recovery speed.
” Lonely Snow said, “Leader, do you have any good ideas?
” “Let’s take a look at the surroundings first, then.
We might be able to discover some clues,” Shi Feng said.
It was also Shi Feng’s first time meeting the Star River Valley.
If their luck was good, they might receive a huge harvest, possibly even obtaining one or two pieces of Fine-Gold ranked items.
“En” Blackie and Lonely Snow started searching through the entire region of the Star River Valley.
After searching for over ten minutes, Blackie discovered an elderly man floating in mid-air.
The elder was holding onto a fishing rod, fishing.
“Brother Feng, I found an NPC over here,” Blackie excitedly said.
“I’ll be there immediately,” Shi Feng said, also becoming excited.
The NPC elder was called Faust, and he was a Level 100 NPC that was capable of easily suppressing Shi Feng and the others.
“Respected elder, can we help you with anything?
” Shi Feng respectfully said.
The elder, Faust, seemed not to have heard Shi Feng speaking.
His eyelids remained shut as he quietly fished.
“He can’t be deaf, right?
” Blackie said.
“He can’t be a deaf person, right?
I’m guessing that his hearing is impaired.
After all, that NPC’s setting is that of an old man, so his hearing should have deteriorated.
He should be able to hear us if we speak louder,” Lonely Snow shook his head.
“This old man is the Great Faust.
You adventurers are truly ill-mannered, daring to actually speak about this old man in such a way.
This old man is going to give you two a punishment!
” Faust abruptly opened his eyes.
Floating in mid-air, he looked at both Blackie and Lonely Snow as he spoke in a furious tone.
“Holy Crap!
This NPC doesn’t react to praises, but immediately reacts when we talk bad about him?
Isn’t his IQ too high?
” Blackie was shocked.
Lonely Snow was also incomparably shocked.
However, before the two of them could recover from their shock, Faust casually pointed a finger at them.
The two of them suddenly floated high up into the air, before plunging down to the ground, nearly dying from the fall.
After teaching the two a lesson, Faust started fishing once again.
“You two…” Shi Feng laughed as he spoke in the party chat, “The NPCs in God’s Domain possess extremely high intelligence.
This is especially true for almost all high-level NPCs.
They are totally different from the average Joe.
You guys should treat powerful NPCs with respect in the future.
This time, Faust could be considered to have given you a light lesson.
If he were to become truly angry, there is the possibility that he might even kill you.
” In Shi Feng’s previous life, many players who paid little respect to NPCs.
In the end, they were killed off by said NPCs.
Shi Feng had even seen more severe cases where NPCs would kill off a player whenever they met.
“Brother Feng, why didn’t you say so early?
” Blackie complained.
“I wanted to say it, but you guys spoke before I had a chance to say anything,” Shi Feng shrugged, shoving away the blame.
Di!
Di!
Di!
Just as Shi Feng was about to reveal his strategy, the system’s message notification constantly rang out.
One after another, the message notifications created a symphony of beeps.
Shi Feng became speechless.
Just where did so many messages come from?
“Why is it South Wolf again?!
” Shi Feng did not think that this person called South Wolf would be so persistent.
The person had actually sent several hundred messages over.
He was truly insane.
“Do you dare accept a voice call?
” “Do you know who I am?!
” “Are you reading this?!
” “I know you’re reading this!
” “There is a big opportunity awaiting you right now.
You best contact me immediately!
” Looking at these messages, speaking from a certain perspective, this person called South Wolf was indeed a very awesome person.
Shi Feng was extremely curious about why this person was trying to look for him.
He also could not continue involving himself with this person, so he readjusted the system settings to allow calls from strangers again.
Chapter 151: Come If You Can!
Very quickly, South Wolf’s communication request arrived.
“Who are you?
If you have something to say, then say it quickly.
I’m very busy,” Shi Feng said in an annoyed tone after picking up the call.
“You… Do you know who I…” Shi Feng’s words nearly caused South Wolf to lose it.
However, in the end, he still endured it.
After all, this was a task handed down to him from above, so he needed to carry out the job properly.
If it were any other person who dared speak to him in such a way, they would definitely face a tragic end.
“If you have nothing to say, then I’m hanging up,” Shi Feng said.
South Wolf furiously said, “Why would I look for you if I have nothing to say?!
” “Then speak of it quickly; I’m very busy,” Shi Feng said, annoyed.
There was a huge opportunity right before his eyes, so where would he find the time to bicker with a stranger?
South Wolf nearly burst out in rage once again at Shi Feng’s words.
A loose expert like Shi Feng dared to speak to him in such a way.
However, after giving it some thought, South Wolf realized that Shi Feng only dared to speak to him in such a way due to not knowing his real identity.
“I need to calm down… Calm down…” __ South Wolf consoled himself, saying, “As long as he knows my identity, he will definitely be shocked witless.
” “I am the spokesperson for Underworld.
I assume that you have never heard of the name of Underworld, right?
That’s because Underworld is a gigantic hidden organization.
If a person does not reach a certain degree of standard, they will have no qualifications for knowing about our existence at all.
As for the strength of Underworld, I can tell you about it right now.
Even if it is an assassination expert like Absolute Heaven, after striving for three years, only now did he manage to obtain the qualifications to become an outer member of Underworld.
Until now, he was just an existence at the very bottom.
” “What?
Absolute Heaven is just an outer member of Underworld?
” Shi Feng was slightly shocked.
Indeed, he had never heard of the name of Underworld before.
He also did not know how powerful it was.
However, if a top-tier assassin like Absolute Heaven was just an outer member, it could be seen just how unfathomable a background Underworld possessed.
Shi Feng also did not think that South Wolf was speaking a lie.
After experiencing so many things in God’s Domain, Shi Feng was rather proficient at determining whether a person was lying or not.
Moreover, the way South Wolf spoke carried the hint of someone speaking down from high above, like an emperor overlooking commoners.
This was not an action that could be faked.
They can’t be wanting to take revenge because I killed Absolute Heaven, right?
Shi Feng inwardly guessed.
Previously, he had not discovered any Guild Emblem on Absolute Heaven’s person.
Hence, he always thought that Absolute Heaven was a hidden expert working as a solo Assassin.
He did not think that Absolute Heaven would have such backing.
Hearing Shi Feng’s shock, South Wolf felt slightly satisfied.
“Actually, this isn’t anything special.
Underworld also possesses an unimaginable influence in the real world.
The resources and information we possess far exceed your imagination.
Even as an outer member, the strength you possess could cause even a major corporation in a city to tremble.
Even the Snow Goddess, Gentle Snow, that you’re very familiar with, has to treat an intermediate member of Underworld with respect, not to mention the upper management of Underworld.
” South Wolf laughed, proudly saying, “By telling you all this information, I am not trying to brag about Underworld, but instead, I am telling you just how powerful of a background Underworld possesses.
If you don’t believe me, you can go ask Gentle Snow.
Without sufficient strength, one would not even have the qualifications to know about the existence of Underworld.
” “I’m contacting you to tell you that you have already received the attention of Underworld.
You now possess the qualifications to join Underworld.
” “Is it because I killed Absolute Heaven?
” Shi Feng calmly asked.
“En, you can put it that way.
If you did not have the strength to kill Absolute Heaven, then you really would not be able to catch the attention of Underworld.
” South Wolf was slightly astonished.
Shi Feng was actually not the least bit excited after hearing his words.
If others were to receive a similar message, they would normally be ecstatic, wishing they could join immediately.
After all, by joining Underworld, one could have many chances to become acquainted with a group of large characters.
Carrying out tasks in the future would also become much more convenient.
The information Underworld possessed far exceeded what one could imagine, and it would have an unimaginable benefit towards one’s future development.
“So you’re saying, as long as I agree, I can become an outer member of Underworld immediately?
” Shi Feng had long since weathered through plenty of storms.
He was no longer that immature youth in his early twenties.
Hence, he reacted extremely calmly.
In Shi Feng’s previous life, as the Guild Leader of Shadow, he had never heard of the existence of Underworld.
However, Shi Feng did not find it strange either.
After all, Shadow was only a second-rate Guild.
In the eyes of first-rate Guilds, they were but an ant on the road, not worthy to be mentioned at all.
“You can put it that way as well.
However, it would not be easy if you wish to join Underworld.
Right now, you only possess the qualifications to join.
Moreover, in Underworld, we have always believed that, if you wished to obtain something, then you need to pay an equivalent price for it.
Only when you can afford the price to join Underworld, would you be able to officially become an outer member.
” “Can you tell me what sort of price I need to pay?
” “The price to join Underworld is a considerable amount.
Even Absolute Heaven spent three years to join.
However, you are extremely lucky.
From my previous investigations, I discovered that there is a certain flame in your possession that is able to greatly increase your attack and destructive power.
As long as you hand over that flame, and pay a monthly membership fee of 10 Gold Coins, you will officially become an outer member of Underworld.
” “I see,” realization struck Shi Feng.
The organization, Underworld, was similar to a grand chamber of commerce in real life.
If one wanted to join the organization, then they needed to pay the membership fee.
However, not just anybody possessed the qualifications to join the organization.
Within the organization, members would be able to form platforms for mutual assistance, information sharing, and resource sharing.
With this, members would be able to obtain many more business opportunities to develop their own enterprises further.
“Since you understand, when are you prepared to pay the price?
I can’t stay too long in Red Leaf Town.
I still have many other things that I need to do,” South Wolf said with a laugh.
As long as he could obtain the Epic ranked flame in Shi Feng’s hands, coupling it with several years of accumulated contributions, he would be able to officially become an intermediate member of Underworld.
At that time, he would be able to call the wind and rain as he pleased.
“Sorry, but I refuse to join.
You should look for someone else,” Shi Feng said in a stern tone.
After his experience with Shadow, he no longer wished to join someone else’s organization.
Moreover, he did not need to join someone else’s organization.
With his advantage as a reincarnated person, he had knowledge of tons of information of which others were unaware.
He also knew the trends in which the future would develop toward.
If Underworld was seeking him out to cooperate as equals, then he could put some consideration into the matter.
However, for him to become a member of Underworld, it would only be a different form of slaving off for someone else.
Fortunately, he did not possess such a hobby.
Right now, he could already start establishing a large Workshop.
The goal of establishing a large Guild was also within close sight, so he truly did not see any need to join Underworld.
The most valuable thing one could obtain within Underworld was information about God’s Domain.
In the eyes of others, although such information was extremely precious, to Shi Feng it was common knowledge.
The reason he spoke so much was simply to find out more about Underworld.
“What did you say?
” South Wolf thought he had heard incorrectly.
After speaking for such a long time, Shi Feng had simply rejected him.
“I’m not interested in joining Underworld.
You should look for someone else,” Shi Feng reiterated once more.
“After speaking so much, in the end, you are just toying with me?
” South Wolf angrily said, “Do you know what kind of consequences your actions will bring?
” “It is you who contacted me first.
Now that I don’t wish to join Underworld, are you going to threaten me to join?
” Shi Feng sneered.
“Since you dare to toy around with us, Underworld, you naturally have to pay the price.
Hand over the flame, and I’ll consider it as if this matter never happened.
Otherwise, prepare to suffer Underworld’s wrath!
” South Wolf threatened in a cold tone.
“Hahaha!
You finally revealed your fox’s tail.
Since the beginning, your goal has always been the flame, right?
You found out from Absolute Heaven that my flame is not anything simple, so you wish to have it for yourselves now, is it?
” Shi Feng calmly said, “I only have one sentence to say to you: If you guys have the ability, then come!
” Chapter 152: Legendary Character South Wolf fell silent at Shi Feng’s calm reply.
He clearly informed Shi Feng of Underworld’s background and its frightening might, yet, Shi Feng still resolutely chose to oppose Underworld, refusing to hand over the flame.
This was the first time South Wolf encountered such a case.
“If you think that, just by being acquainted with and backing of Gentle Snow, Underworld will not dare target you, you couldn’t be more wrong.
” South Wolf sneered, “Even the currently famous Ouroboros does not dare possess enmity against Underworld, not to mention a measly First Vice-Leader.
I’ll give you one last chance to hand over the flame.
That way, you can still play in God’s Domain comfortably.
Otherwise, there will be no place to accommodate you in all of God’s Domain.
” “It looks like you really don’t understand human words.
Or is there a problem with your intelligence?
” Shi Feng laughed disdainfully, “You wish to take something that belongs to me just with just a few words?
Do you think that your family runs God’s Domain or something?
I’ll tell you one more time; if you have the ability, then come!
I’m eager to see just what you can do to me!
” If it were his last life, Shi Feng might have yielded.
However, it was a different story altogether now.
In this life, he possessed both the capital and confidence to challenge a gigantic existence like Underworld.
After reincarnating, Shi Feng’s goal in life was to complete the dream he never accomplished in his previous life, establishing his own virtual empire.
On this path, he was destined to make enemies of the many major powers of God’s Domain.
If he lowered his head to Underworld now, how could he challenge the tyrants of God’s Domain in the future?
How could he compete over the resources, territory, equipment, and such in God’s Domain?
Although Underworld’s influence was massive, and its influence in reality similarly great, when faced with God’s Domain, the globally acknowledged ‘second world,’ nary a power in the world could interfere with the Main God System, not to mention a measly Underworld.
Even if Underworld wished to investigate Shi Feng’s identity in real life, it was an impossible task to achieve.
After over a hundred years of operation and improvements, the privacy of players in virtual reality games was nigh perfect.
It was also impossible to uncover a person’s identity through virtual trades.
“Very good!
Since it seems that you have truly steeled your heart to oppose Underworld, you better make your preparations to enter hell!
” South Wolf was so angry, he smiled.
He truly did not think that there would be a person who did not fear death.
Shi Feng was but a single independent player, and he only dared speak those conceited words because he did not know the terror of Underworld at all.
In South Wolf’s view, Shi Feng was just an arrogant and presumptuous fool who did not know fear.
Underworld’s main influence covered two empires and several kingdoms, Star-Moon Kingdom included.
As long as he reported this matter to the higher-ups, within a few days, an independent player like Shi Feng would no longer remain mingling in God’s Domain.
At that time, Shi Feng would have no choice but to offer up that Epic ranked flame.
“Hell, is it?
I’ve enjoyed it’s atmosphere plenty of times before, and entering yours won’t make any difference!
” Shi Feng shrugged, smiling insolently as he spoke.
Shi Feng now possessed the Ice-Blue Devil flame.
With his current battle prowess, he did not fear any player in the least.
If they wished to gang up on him, he would use guerilla warfare to deal with them.
His leveling speed was extremely rapid, so he could afford to face off against them.
He did not believe that there was any Guild or power that could afford to waste that much manpower and resources to continuously battle him in Red Leaf Town.
After speaking his piece, Shi Feng disconnected the call.
“Brother Feng, what happened?
” Blackie could feel Shi Feng’s rage from the conversation he just had.
“Nothing much; it was just someone trying to rob me,” Shi Feng shook his head, casually describing Underworld as a bandit.
“We’re better off thinking of a way to get information off of that elderly NPC.
” “Okay,” Blackie nodded, agreeing.
Although Shi Feng spoke lightly, Blackie knew that the matter was not as simple as Shi feng described.
Blackie inwardly hated himself for not being any help to Shi Feng.
If he could become more powerful, he might be of help to Shi Feng in the future.
In actuality, Blackie was not alone in this train of thought.
Lonely Snow also detected the abnormality in Shi Feng’s tone, and he similarly hated himself for being so weak and helpless.
I must work harder to improve my technique and strength!
At the very least, I can’t remain as dead-weight to Brother Feng!
Suddenly, the two of them held an eager desire to increase their own strength.
— Meanwhile, after Shi Feng hung up on him, South Wolf immediately contacted the upper echelons of Underworld.
“South Wolf, how is the matter regarding the Epic ranked item coming along?
” “Young Master Feng, I’ve already tried my best, but that brat Ye Feng still refused.
He also looked down on Underworld, telling us to come at him if we have the ability.
” “Hahaha!
He’s truly an interesting fellow!
It is no wonder Snow is paying attention to him.
I haven’t met such an arrogant person for a very long time now.
Since he has rejected my good intentions, let him disappear from God’s Domain.
I’ll give you the authority to mobilize all of Underworld in White River City, so quickly fetch me that item.
” “Yes, this subordinate will definitely succeed.
” After the call ended, South Wolf released a sigh of relief.
Listening to that person’s tone, they were definitely angry.
Otherwise, that person would not have given him the authority to mobilize the full strength of Underworld in White River City just to deal with a single Ye Feng.
“Ye Feng, let’s see how long you continue acting freely.
Very soon, I’ll show what kind of place hell really is.
” Just thinking of Shi Feng was enough to cause South Wolf’s belly to fill with rage.
However, when he thought about how he could operate all the power of Underworld in the White River City region, he could not help his excitement.
Although Underworld had a very low member count, each and every one of them were elite experts.
Some were even the upper echelons of major Guilds.
If he gathered all of the members within the White River City region, the total power might even surpass that of a third-rate Guild in White River City.
Being able to mobilize such a power, just thinking of it gave him an invigorating feeling.
Moreover, a majority of Underworld’s members were players who walked the path of darkness.
What they loved most was murder, and they were the best at dealing with independent players like Shi Feng.
— Meanwhile, as South Wolf thought of ways to deal with Shi Feng, the person, himself, was in the process of having a conversation with the NPC named Faust, albeit a one-sided one.
According to Shi Feng’s understanding, Faust was a strange old man.
Although Faust was a strange old man, he was also a legendary character.
He was once known as the Elemental Dominator.
During his youth, Faust had once killed a mighty dragon and had even sealed the Great Demon King.
A Great Demon King was the human equivalent of a Tier 5 class.
Moreover, Faust was once a teacher to the emperor of the Black Dragon Empire.
Rumor had it that Faust had once fought against a God and survived the encounter.
However, when he reached the age of 100, he suddenly started wandering all over God’s Domain.
Right now, Faust was already an old monster that exceeded the age of 300.
As to how powerful Faust was right now, Shi Feng was unable to properly discern that.
In short, Faust’s strength was immeasurably deep.
Hence, it was extremely difficult to start a conversation with Faust.
The first condition to do so was to have sufficient strength to attract Faust’s attention.
The second condition was to have delicious cooking.
Only when both of these conditions were fulfilled would Faust give out a Rare Quest called ‘Delicious Golden Fish.
’ When this quest was completed, one could obtain a reward.
In reality, displaying sufficient strength to Faust was a simple task.
To do so, one merely needed to deal over 100 damage to the Golden Fish.
However, it was an extremely difficult challenge for players below Level 20 to cause over 100 damage.
At the very minimum, one needed to be Level 20 and possess a complete set of Bronze Set Equipment and a Mysterious-Iron Weapon to achieve such damage.
Moreover, before one displayed their strength, they needed to initiate a conversation with Faust.
On the surface, Faust appeared to not take notice of players; in reality, he secretly paid attention.
Yet, just when Shi Feng was about to inform Blackie and Lonely Snow about these conditions, the two of them started cursing at Faust.
However, this could also attract Faust’s attention… Chapter 153: Legendary Item After attracting Faust’s attention, Shi Feng’s remaining task was to deal damage to the Golden Fish.
These Level 20 Golden Fish currently swam within the bright silver river suspended in mid-air.
The river was around 25 to 30 yards above the ground, making it impossible for any normal melee class to attack the Golden Fish.
Moreover, the Golden Fish had scales as hard as diamonds, and it was nigh impossible for players below Level 20 to cause them over 100 damage in a single attack.
The Golden Fish possessed a very high magic resistance as well, reducing the magic damage they received by 40%.
Also, the Golden Fish swam at exceptionally fast speeds in the silver river, making them extremely hard to hit.
As a result, there were many players who gained nothing despite having found the Star River Valley.
One thing that greatly differed God’s Domain from other virtual reality games was that, in God’s Domain, there were many of fortuitous encounters available out in the field.
These encounters could allow a player to soar to fame and power overnight, and Shi Feng had seen many such examples before.
However, even though there were plenty of fortuitous encounters available in God’s Domain, encountering one did not necessarily guarantee any harvests.
Whether one could obtain anything from such an encounter depended on one’s abilities.
“Blackie, Lonely, you two take this.
” Shi Feng took two Basic Frost Grenades from his bag, passing them to the two.
Previously, to obtain the Ice-Blue Devil Flame, he used a lot of the Frost Grenades he stocked up.
Right now, there were less than twenty remaining, and they were not enough to deal with all the Golden Fish in the silver river.
“Wah!
Aren’t these Frost Grenade’s effects too powerful?
These are godly tools for PK and grinding!
If we could use them without limit, then our leveling speed would be absolutely heaven-defying!
” Blackie said, shocked, after taking a look at the Frost Grenade’s introduction.
Just imagine if they used these Frost Grenades to grind on groups of Level 30 monsters… They might even level up once every minute!
At that time, what would Martial Union amount to them?
Just the level suppression alone would be enough to oppress them to death.
“It would be fantastic if we could get more of these.
In the future, if PKers surround us, we wouldn’t even have to use a single skill to deal with them.
Just by throwing a dozen or so of these Frost Grenades, they would definitely fall dead.
However, with effects as good as these, I’m guessing that these items should be extremely rare and precious,” Lonely Snow lamented.
“Indeed.
Not to mention using them for grinding and PK, just having a few of these tools of massacre as lifesavers would be good enough.
” The longer Blackie looked at the Frost Grenade in his hand, the more he could not bear to part with it.
With this item in hand, he could use it to save his life at the most crucial of moments.
Shi Feng only revealed a smile at the two’s reactions.
He took out another Frost Grenade for himself, turning to look at the Golden Fish in the suspended river, saying, “Stop chatting.
In a moment, I’ll count down to three, and we’ll all throw our Frost Grenades at the Golden Fish together.
” Blackie and Lonely Snow looked at the Frost Grenades in their hands, reluctance filling their eyes.
“Brother Feng, using the Frost Grenades to deal with these Golden Fish is just too wasteful.
The Golden Fish have 100,000 HP each.
The 200 damage from these Frost Grenades will not make any difference.
Moreover, these items can be used at a crucial moment to save our lives.
Using them right now is simply a waste!
” “That’s right, Leader!
” Blackie and Lonely Snow both tried to persuade Shi Feng.
His actions right now were simply that of a wastrel!
Shi Feng was dumbfounded and speechless at the two’s persuasion.
Previously, he had used these Frost Grenades to grind to Level 9.
“Just use them with ease!
I still have plenty of them in my possession.
Later, I’ll give every member of the party 30 of these Frost Grenades,” Shi Feng said with a laugh.
Blackie and Lonely Snow were immediately shocked, even thinking that they had heard wrong.
A Frost Grenade was such a precious item, yet, Shi Feng planned to give each of them 30 in the future?
This was simply madness!
In the future, if they met those bastards from Martial Union, with the Frost Grenades in hand, couldn’t they utterly massacre them?
With Shi Feng’s assurance, the two of them followed Shi Feng’s instructions, throwing their Frost Grenades at the Golden Fish suspended in mid-air.
Boom!
The Frost Grenades exploded in the midst of the silver river.
Even though the Golden Fish were adept at dodging, the explosion radius of the Frost Grenades was extremely wide.
Some of the Golden Fish that did not manage to escape immediately froze solid, damages of over -100 points appearing above their heads.
Faust, sitting suspended in mid-air, stroked his white beard.
He nodded his head, saying, “Not bad.
It seems that you guys have some ability, to actually cause some damage to these Golden Fish.
” “Esteemed Lord Faust, we are only here to catch some Golden Fish to cook.
We hope that our brutish actions did not disturb you,” Shi Feng acted courteously as he said.
“Oh?
I didn’t think that you guys would be interested in cooking these Golden Fish,” when Faust heard the word ‘cook,’ a flash immediately appeared in his eyes.
“Since you guys wish to catch the Golden Fish, I wonder if you can help me catch some live ones as well?
My strength is too strong, and I will simply kill these Golden Fish if I am not careful.
This dilemma has left me with no choice but to slowly fish here.
” “This…” Shi Feng said with a hesitant expression.
“Relax; I won’t mistreat you all.
As long as you can obtain a satisfactory amount of Golden Fish for me, I can trade some items for them.
How about it?
” Faust casually waved his hand, and immediately, tens of items with pleasing appearances appeared and floated in mid-air.
Every single one of these tens of items was extremely valuable.
Moreover, beside the item’s introduction, the amount of Golden Fish required to trade for the item was displayed as well.
“Brother Feng, look!
That’s a Level 15 Secret-Silver ranked staff!
There!
That’s a Mysterious-Iron ranked mage robe!
Wah!
That’s a Fine-Gold ranked cloth armor armguard!
” Blackie instantly drooled at the sight of these items.
Lonely Snow also discovered a Level 15 Fine-Gold ranked two-handed axe, his eyes sparkling at the sight of the weapon.
Moreover, the Attributes of the weapon were simply mind-blowing.
If he equipped that weapon, his Attack Power would instantly soar by several times.
He could get rid of an MT of the same level with just two to three attacks.
However, amongst the many items, an item with a faint orange glow attracted Shi Feng’s attention.
That was the glowing effect only found on Legendary ranked items!
“A Legendary ranked item?
” Shi Feng was shocked.
Previously, he had only heard of players obtaining an Epic item at most from the Star River Valley.
Shi Feng had even doubted the reliability of the information.
Now, however, it seemed that the information was indeed true.
The rarity of a Legendary item was several tens of times greater than that of an Epic item.
If a Legendary item were already present among the rewards, it would not be strange for there to be an Epic item as well.
In Shi Feng’s previous life, even after he reached Level 200 and became a top-tier Sword King, he did not possess a single Legendary ranked item.
To Shi Feng, a Legendary ranked item was but a fleeting dream.
Only the extremely few Tier 4 apex experts would possess one or two Legendary items.
It was obvious just how rare a Legendary item was.
Meanwhile, these players who possessed one or two Legendary items, even if they were only at the peak of Tier 4, their battle prowess would not be any weaker than a Tier 5 player that did not possess any Legendary items.
It was apparent just how much of an improvement a Legendary item provided to a player’s strength.
Shi Feng did not think that, in this life, he would bear witness to a Legendary ranked item.
This situation was no different than a dream.
It was not just Shi Feng who discovered the Legendary ranked item.
Even Blackie and Lonely Snow noticed it, as the orange glow that the item gave off was simply too eye-catching.
“Brother Feng, I’m not dreaming, right?
That’s a Legendary ranked item, right!?
” Blackie pinched his own cheeks, saying.
Meanwhile, Lonely Snow was speechless from excitement.
He kept clapping Blackie’s shoulders as he pointed towards the Legendary item.
“You guys are not hallucinating.
That is indeed a Legendary ranked item.
It is also something that I chanced upon.
However, this item is useless to me.
Although it is possible to obtain this item if you want it, it won’t be so easy,” Faust stroked his beard as he said with self-satisfaction.
He felt extremely satisfied by the shocked expressions of Shi Feng and the others.
At this time, Shi Feng had calmed down.
Although a Legendary item was right before his eyes, obtaining it was an entirely different matter.
As for snatching the item away from Faust, that would be no different than suicide.
They could only follow the rules to obtain it.
Shi Feng then clicked to look at the Legendary item’s introduction.
[Heavenly Dragon’s Sacred Breath] (Fragmented Legendary Rank) Chapter 154: A Quest that is Impossible to Complete “Fragmented Legendary rank?
” Shi Feng was slightly surprised, but he still felt that it was reasonable.
In Shi Feng’s previous life, the statistics showed that, after operating for over ten years, there were no more than 3,000 Legendary ranked items discovered in God’s Domain.
Right now, however, God’s Domain had only recently started operation.
So, how would it be possible for a Legendary item to appear here so easily?
Just a fragment alone was already a miracle in and of itself.
Blackie and Lonely Snow were dumbfounded after seeing that the item was only Fragmented Legendary rank.
They got all excited over something that was completely different from what they imagined.
As a result, their fiery, passionate hearts instantly cooled.
“Isn’t this just a scam?
Didn’t you say that it was a Legendary item?
Why is it only a fragment?
” Blackie complained to Faust.
It was no wonder the strange old man was so generous as to take out a Legendary ranked item.
In reality, it was only a fragment.
It was not even close to a Legendary item at all.
“You little brats, aren’t you being too greedy here?
Do you think that Legendary ranked items are like cabbages?
Do you think you can just find one in any random place?
” Faust, flabbergasted, scolded, “Moreover, do you think that you brats can successfully obtain it?
You’re better off looking for something else.
I’m not trying to belittle you all, but with your current abilities, it is an absolutely impossible goal.
Don’t waste your energy on such thoughts.
” “I will cast a spell to strengthen you all, give you the ability to float in mid-air, and deal increased damage to the Golden Fish.
As long as you severely injure the Golden Fish, for a short time, the Golden Fish will enter a crippled state and won’t be able to move.
At that time, use these magical nets to catch them.
” Following which, Faust took out three golden-colored, magical nets, handing them over to Shi Feng’s group.
He then chanted some incantations, providing Shi Feng’s group with over a dozen buffs, greatly increasing the three’s Attributes.
Their Attributes multiplied by almost three to four folds, and at the same time, they could ignore up to 15 Levels.
“Who says we won’t obtain?
With such powerful Attributes, the Heavenly Dragon’s Breath will definitely be ours!
” looking at his increased Attributes, Blackie’s confidence instantly grew by over a hundred-fold.
Lonely Snow nodded in agreement as well.
He could not help but wish he could begin his assault on the Golden Fish immediately.
Regarding Shi Feng’s strength, the two of them held an almost blind faith in it.
Shi Feng had simply shown them too many miracles.
His battle techniques were even matchless.
“Hahaha!
Young folk being so confident is a good thing indeed.
However, you should first look at the exchange quantities.
” Faust stroked his white beard as he laughed.
He did not mind Blackie’s words at all.
The three of them immediately checked the exchange quantities.
Level 15 Bronze ranked item and Level 20 Bronze ranked item required 1 to 2 Golden Fish.
Level 15 Mysterious-Iron ranked item and Level 20 Mysterious-Iron ranked item required 3 to 5 Golden Fish.
Level 15 Secret-Silver ranked item and Level 20 Secret-Silver ranked item required 10 to 15 Golden Fish.
Level 15 Fine-Gold ranked item and Level 20 Fine-Gold ranked item required 30 to 50 Golden Fish.
Level 15 Dark-Gold ranked item and Level 20 Dark-Gold ranked item required 100 to 200 Golden Fish.
Fragmented Legendary ranked item required 1,000 Golden Fish.
There were a lot of Golden Fish in the entire silver river.
At a single glance, one could tell that there were several thousand Golden Fish in the river.
Blackie and Lonely Snow could not help but smile.
“Here I thought you required some astronomical amount.
Isn’t it just a thousand Golden Fish?
We’ll quickly gather them up for you,” Blackie laughed.
Shi Feng also felt that it would not be difficult for them to obtain a thousand Golden Fish.
Only, it would require a lot of time to do so.
However, to obtain a Fragmented Legendary rank item, even spending several days would be worth it.
Just as Shi Feng and the other two were about to take action… “Before you all start, I need to give you a small reminder.
The Star River Valley will not remain in the Silent Swamp for too long.
At most, it will disappear from the Silent Swamp in four to five hours.
I, too, will disappear with it.
If you do not hand the Golden Fish to me before that happens, you won’t receive any rewards,” Faust revealed a slight smile as he spoke.
System: Rare Quest “Delicious Golden Fish” accepted.
Within the allocated amount of time, catch as many Golden Fish as you can and hand them over to Faust.
The more you catch, the better the rewards will be.
Although there was a time limit, Blackie and Lonely Snow still brimmed with confidence.
Even if they could not obtain other equipment, it would be enough if they obtained the Heavenly Dragon’s Breath.
“Four to five hours, is it?
” Shi Feng looked at Faust’s smiling figure, inwardly feeling that the matter was not as simple as it appeared.
Otherwise, why would Faust be so generous as to show off a Fragmented Legendary rank item for exchange?
However, time was of the essence.
The three of them immediately started catching the Golden Fish.
At this moment, Shi Feng’s communication notification rang up again; the call’s requestor was Gentle Snow.
“Miss Snow, I truly have to thank you for your support last time.
Otherwise, those internet trolls would have painted me as a scammer,” Shi Feng jokingly said.
In his heart, Gentle Snow was definitely someone worth his friendship, and all her care and aid towards him had clearly proven this matter.
“At least you still have a good heart,” Gentle Snow laughed sweetly.
“More importantly, I’m contacting you this time just to ask you about a single matter.
” “What happened?
” Shi Feng inwardly felt that Gentle Snow behaved somewhat strangely today.
“Did you come into contact with people from Underworld?
” Gentle Snow suddenly asked.
“That’s right; they contacted me,” Shi Feng nodded his head, saying.
Hearing Shi Feng’s acknowledgment, Gentle Snow could not help but ask in curiosity, “Just what happened between you?
” “Nothing much.
They just wanted something from me, and I refused to give it to them,” Shi Feng calmly said.
“How could this be?
“Although I don’t know what actually happened, don’t try to trick me.
If it is only a small matter like this, that person from Underworld would not specifically send me a message, telling me not to get involved.
What exactly happened between you two?
” “If you tell me the truth right now, I might be able to offer some help.
Underworld’s strength is definitely not something an unrated Guild like Martial Union could compare to.
Just its strength in White River City alone is probably more than ten times that of Martial Union.
There are also plenty of top-tier experts amongst their ranks that walk the path of darkness.
If they go all-out to deal with you, it might not even be safe for you to stay within the confines of the town.
” Gentle Snow’s tone turned grave as she spoke.
A hint of fear towards Underworld’s power also colored her tone.
She simply could not understand how an independent player like Shi Feng could anger Underworld to such a degree.
It was truly unbelievable.
“It’s true.
Why would I lie to you?
They only wished to obtain something that I possess; I simply refused them and told them to bring it on, if they can.
There really isn’t anything else,” Shi Feng said with a bitter smile.
“You call that nothing else?
I truly admire you right now.
You are the first one to actually dare provoke Underworld in such a way,” Gentle Snow nearly choked when she heard Shi Feng’s words.
“Fortunately, your matter isn’t too severe.
I’ll try to explain to the management of Underworld and see if this matter can be settled.
Hopefully this event will become bygones.
” Shi Feng did not particularly mind the matter of Underworld trying to deal with him.
In any case, adding one more to his list of enemies wouldn’t make much of a difference.
However, seeing Gentle Snow earnestly trying to help him, he couldn’t just not give her face and reject her kind intentions.
“Thank you.
” “No need for that.
We’re friends after all, and it is only natural for friends to help each other.
Just don’t forget to sell me any high-level equipment that you don’t need in the future.
” Gentle Snow revealed a faint smile before hanging up.
Soon after, Shi Feng joined Blackie and Lonely Snow’s fishing party.
However, before Shi Feng had even reached the Golden Fish and attacked them, he quickly discovered a problem.
After his Attributes increased, Blackie was comparable to a powerful Level 20 Cursemancer equipped with a complete Secret-Silver Set Equipment and a Fine-Gold Weapon.
However, even then, Blackie’s attacks dealt less than 400 damage to the Golden Fish.
Moreover, the Movement Speed of the Golden Fish was extremely quick in the silver river.
Even if Blackie’s techniques improved by quite a lot, out of ten Dark Arrows he sent out, only five managed to find their targets.
As a result, Blackie’s damage output was greatly reduced.
The Golden Fish’s 100,000 HP was like a huge mountain.
Meanwhile, on Lonely Snow’s side, he felt even more helpless.
The Golden Fish only dodged and did not attack.
Not mentioning whether a melee class could land a hit, to begin with, just trying to chase after the Golden Fish was a big problem.
In addition, the Golden Fish’s physical defense was simply too high.
Lonely Snow’s normal attacks only dealt around 200 damage, and his overall damage output could not even compare to Blackie’s.
To strike a Golden Fish down to critical health, the two of them, with their strengths combined, needed to spend over four minutes concentrating their attacks.
The total quest duration was only around four to five hours.
At this rate, they could only catch around 70 Golden Fish within five hours.
They would not even hit one-tenth of the required 1,000 Golden Fish.
Chapter 155: Devour Once More After spending a long amount of time, Blackie and Lonely Snow finally managed to catch a Golden Fish.
At this moment, they both realized that they had greatly underestimated the difficulty of the challenge.
Not to mention a Fragmented Legendary ranked item, even a Dark-Gold ranked item was a fanciful delusion.
“This old man has already said that your strengths are just too weak.
Stop thinking about the Heavenly Dragon’s Breath and be more realistic.
Otherwise, you all might not get anything in the end,” Faust, who floated in the air, smiled.
In reality, Faust only teased Shi Feng’s group for fun by taking out the Fragmented Legendary rank item.
In God’s Domain, even a Fragmented Legendary rank item was an incomparably precious item.
Its value was over ten times that of an Epic ranked item.
If one were lucky, one might even restore the Legendary Fragment into a true Legendary ranked item.
So, who would be willing to give it away?
This was why Faust had set such an unreasonable and unattainable amount for exchange.
“That damned old man!
He is clearly just toying with us!
” Blackie cursed in the party chat.
“Leader, what do we do now?
Should we just give up on the Fragmented Legendary and Dark-Gold ranked items and just go for a Fine-Gold ranked item?
” Lonely Snow had already given up on an unattainable item.
Shi Feng shook his head, saying, “You guys focus on catching the Golden Fish.
I’ll try by myself.
” It was impossible for Shi Feng to give up on the Fragmented Legendary rank item.
Who knew when he would have another chance to meet with a Fragmented Legendary ranked item?
Moreover, the difficulty of obtaining one at that time would definitely be much higher than now.
If he couldn’t even obtain a Fragmented Legendary ranked item, how could he secure a Legendary ranked item in the future?
Soon after, with his Attributes now greatly increased, Shi Feng rushed towards a Golden Fish that currently swam in the silver river.
Chop!
A black light slashed at the Golden Fish’s soft-sided abdomen.
He struck the Golden Fish before it could even react, a damage of over -1,400 points appearing above its head.
Immediately after, Shi Feng sent a normal slash at the Golden Fish, causing over -800 damage.
Following which, Shi Feng brandished the Silver Lake in his hand.
Three electric arcs wove across eight Golden Fish.
Instantly, damages of -1056, -1384, and -1758 appeared above their heads.
In the blink of an eye, the Golden Fish lost over 6,000 HP.
The frightening damage surprised Faust.
“Not bad,” Faust praised as he stroked his white beard.
However, he still did not hold a thread of belief that Shi Feng could procure the Heavenly Dragon’s Breath.
On the other hand, there was a large possibility for him to secure a Dark-Gold ranked item.
“Brother Feng!
” “Leader!
” Looking at the damage Shi Feng had caused, Blackie and Lonely Snow forgot to continue attacking the Golden Fish as their eyes filled with fanaticism and excitement.
With such frightening damage, there might really be a hope of completing the quest.
“Don’t just stare at me; continue your attacks!
” Shi Feng said in the party chat, his hands not halting their actions as he spoke.
Shi Feng’s intense attacks quickly caused the Golden Fish’s HP to fall at flying speeds.
In the end, Shi Feng had only spent about 100 seconds to capture a Golden Fish, using around two-fifths of Blackie and Lonely Snow’s time.
“As expected, it’s still not enough,” Shi Feng wrinkled his brows.
At this rate, even if Shi Feng continuously attacked and captured the Golden Fish without stop, he would, at most, capture 170 to 190 Golden Fish.
There would still be an immense gap from the targeted 1,000 Golden Fish.
“Hahaha!
Young man, you have truly given me a shock!
However, I’ve already said this before, you all should not try to obtain the Fragmented Legendary ranked item.
With all three of you combined, it would be good enough to trade for one or two Dark-Gold ranked items,” Faust laughed with confidence.
Naturally, Shi Feng did not give up at Faust’s words.
Suddenly, a clear-blue flame appeared floating above Shi Feng’s palm.
This flame was the Ice-Blue Devil flame.
The Ice-Blue Devil Flame wrapped around Shi Feng’s entire body, increasing Shi Feng’s damage by 20%.
“I’ve truly underestimated you.
You can even control a Mysterious Flame,” when Faust saw the Ice-Blue Devil Flame, he was once more given a shock.
“Looking at the Mysterious-Flame’s power, it should be a Tier 2 Mysterious Flame.
Mastering a Tier 2 Mysterious Flame at such a young age, you are truly not a simple fellow.
Unfortunately, it is still not enough.
” With the support of the Ice-Blue Devil Flame, Shi Feng’s damage soared once more.
He then attacked zealously, filling the sky with sword images.
Now, his normal slashes alone could deal over a thousand damage, while his Chop dealt over -1,700 damage.
The most frightening was the Thunder Flame Explosion, dealing over -3,000 damage.
In the end, Shi Feng only spent around one minute to successfully catch a Golden Fish.
Moreover, Thundering Flash, Earth Splitter, and Thunder Flame Explosion also dealt some damage to the other Golden Fish.
Only, the Cooldowns for these skills were too long.
In addition to the Golden Fish constantly swimming about, never staying in a single place, the effects of these AOE skills were extremely limited.
Continuing at this pace, Shi Feng could catch somewhere over 300 Golden Fish in 5 hours.
However, it was still a great distance from 1,000.
Am I really not able to attain the Fragmented Legendary ranked item?
Shi Feng felt very reluctant.
No matter what was said, a Fragmented Legendary ranked item was simply too rare.
Finding one now was only due to heaven-defying luck.
“Hahaha!
Don’t be discouraged, young man.
You have already performed quite well.
If you all can capture 400 Golden Fish, I can trade you an Epic ranked item.
Consider it as a reward for your efforts,” Faust smiled, consoling.
It had been very long since he had seen a youth with such a fighting spirit.
However, with Shi Feng and the others’ current standards, there was not a great likelihood they could earn even an Epic ranked item.
“That damned old man!
He only knows how to toy with us!
Even if we have a full five hours right now, our chances of catching 400 Golden Fish are less than 40%,” Blackie cursed in the party chat.
Having learned his lesson, he no longer cursed out directly.
My Attack Power is still too low; my Attack Speed is also too slow.
I need an increase to my damage and speed.
Shi Feng entered deep thought as he tried to think of a way to increase his abilities.
If he used the Intermediate Frost Grenades, with all three of them bombarding a wide area of the silver river, they might capture over 400 Golden Fish.
The problem was, however, that he simply did not have that many Intermediate Frost Grenades.
Moreover, each Intermediate Frost Grenade cost 10 Silver Coins.
A single Intermediate Frost Grenade could deal around -500 damage to the Golden Fish.
Then, killing a Golden Fish would require 200 Intermediate Frost Grenades, which would cost up to 20 Gold Coins.
Taking into account the effective area of the Frost Grenades, every 200 Frost Grenades would kill around 20 Golden Fish, making the value of each Golden Fish the equivalent of 1 Gold Coin.
Meanwhile, 1,000 Golden Fish would equal to 1,000 Gold Coins.
Although purchasing a Fragmented Legendary ranked item for 1,000 Gold Coins was no different than daylight robbery, to begin with, Shi Feng did not possess nearly that much money.
Hence, this method was not feasible.
What should I do?
How can I increase my Attack Power?
Shi Feng flipped through his bag.
He managed to think of over a dozen methods, but not one of them were feasible.
At this moment, Shi Feng discovered the Level 10 Fine-Gold ranked greatsword that he collected from the Sun Temple.
This greatsword was something he had prepared for the Abyssal Blade’s level up.
He had completely forgotten about it due to being too busy.
Now that he collected ten Silver Dawns, he could level up the Abyssal Blade.
That’s right!
If I can raise the Abyssal Blade to Level 10, its Attributes will massively increase.
Maybe it would be possible at that time!
Inspiration struck Shi Feng.
There would be a checkpoint for weapons at every ten levels, and there would be a big improvement when these checkpoints were reached.
Right now, the Level 5 Abyssal Blade could rival a Level 10 Secret-Silver Weapon.
If it devoured a Fine-Gold Weapon and ten Secret-Silver Weapons, it would undergo an impressive growth.
“Let’s start devouring, then.
” Shi Feng immediately chose to level up the Abyssal Blade, starting the devouring process.
Chapter 156: Black Dragon Coming into Being At a glance, the Kabulu Wilderness was comprised mainly of silt and gravel.
There were also plenty of abandoned pastures and farmland.
From time to time, sounds of crows cawing reverberated throughout the land.
Level 10 monsters, such as White-tusk Boars, Large Bisons, and vultures, roamed this land, and they were all extremely ferocious.
At this stage of the game, a Level 10 monster area was an extremely dangerous place for players.
However, in a certain pasture in the Kabulu Wilderness, a twenty-man team currently grinded on White-tusk Boars.
“We’re almost finished clearing out the monsters over here.
Little Shadow, go lure some more monsters over,” a handsome youth commanded.
This youth wore a set of golden armor and wielded a greatsword.
“Yes,” the Level 9 Assassin called Little Shadow very respectfully answered.
He then turned to lure more monsters.
If an average player witnessed this scene, they would probably be incomparably shocked.
A Level 9 Assassin wearing Mysterious-Iron Set Equipment was definitely an expert of God’s Domain.
No matter which large Guild such an expert joined, he would be one of the upper-echelons of the Guild.
However, such an expert was unexpectedly willing to take on the role of an errand boy, and there was not even a hint of resentment or rage in his eyes when treated as such.
On the contrary, there was even a hint of pride in them.
“What?
Snow?
” the golden armored youth was slightly surprised when he received a communication request from this person.
He picked up the call and spoke in a soft tone, “Snow, it’s been awhile since you’ve contacted me.
How have you been recently?
I really don’t know why you insist on staying in a Guild like Ouroboros.
Won’t you develop further if you join me in Underworld?
” “Feng Xuanyang, I’ve already said it before; I will not join Underworld.
I will depend on myself to create my own legacy.
I’m only looking for you today to ask for your help on a matter,” Gentle Snow calmly said.
“Say it, then.
As long as it’s a request from you, Snow, I will strive to fulfill it,” the golden armored youth immediately said with a smile.
This was the first time Gentle Snow had came to him asking for help.
Previously, Gentle Snow had constantly tried to put distance between them, so this was a golden opportunity for him to show off.
“It’s nothing big.
It’s about the message that you sent me before, telling me to stay out of that matter.
I understand the crux of the problem, and isn’t it just a small conflict?
Moreover, Ye Feng is a friend of mine.
So, I hope that you can give me some face and let this matter go,” Gentle Snow said.
“Ye Feng, is it?
” Feng Xuanyang wrinkled his brows.
He did not think that Gentle Snow would ask him about this matter.
“That’s right; it’s Ye Feng.
What are your thoughts?
” Gentle Snow asked.
“Since you’ve already spoken, naturally, there will be no problems.
You can rest assured; I’ll talk to my subordinates about it,” Feng Xuanyang smiled.
Soon after, Gentle Snow disconnected the call.
“Snow, why would you care so much about that Ye Feng?
You don’t usually pay much attention to anyone else.
Don’t tell me you’ve taken a liking to that brat?
” Zhao Yueru, who stood beside Gentle Snow, giggled, the expression she revealed suggesting the two must be involved with each other.
“You’re overthinking things,” Gentle Snow rolled her eyes at Zhao Yueru.
She then said in a soft tone, “Moreover, don’t forget who it was that gave us the Potionmaking recipe.
Not only did it allow you to become an Intermediate Potionmaking Apprentice, but you are also earning a lot of money with it.
Aren’t you happily counting your Silver Coins all day right now?
” “Fine; I admit that he was indeed a great help, so we ought to help him in return this time…” Hearing Gentle Snow saying so, Zhao Yueru was like a kitten that had its sore spot poked, acting pitifully.
“Moreover, Ye Feng’s help isn’t limited to just that one time.
It was only thanks to him that we managed to clear the Hell Mode of the Dark Moon Graveyard, allowing my position in Ouroboros to rise rapidly.
Many elders in the Guild have also changed their initial attitudes towards me, choosing to stand on my side instead.
This result has saved me from many troubles, and I haven’t even gotten the chance to thank Ye Feng for this yet.
Helping him with a small matter like this is nothing.
” Gentle Snow then continued, “If Underworld still doesn’t give up and still wishes to deal with Ye Feng, I can only use that move.
However, since Feng Xuanyang has already agreed, there should be no problems.
” — On the other side, after Feng Xuanyang ended the call, his face paled with anger.
Feng Xuanyang could not understand just what sort of relationship Gentle Snow had with that Ye Feng for her to actually speak up for him.
Feng Xuanyang had been trying to woo Gentle Snow for so long, yet, she had paid him no attention from the start.
Right now, Underworld was just teaching Ye Feng a lesson, yet Gentle Snow immediately came calling.
The degree of care that she gave Ye Feng was abnormally high.
It had even reached a degree that caused Feng Xuanyang jealousy.
Feng Xuanyang had both money and power.
He was also incomparably handsome.
He was hundreds of times better than that Ye Feng in every way.
Yet, Gentle Snow chose to pay attention to Ye Feng instead.
There must be a problem here.
However, Feng Xuanyang was extremely clear about Gentle Snow’s daily lifestyle.
There was no chance that a minor character like Ye Feng could meet her in real life.
The only possibility was in God’s Domain.
There must be something that he had here that led to Gentle Snow treating him so well.
If Ye Feng remained in God’s Domain, the two of them might have a deeper development.
The more Feng Xuanyang thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
Feng Xuanyang’s eyes gleamed with a cold glint.
He had no intentions of watching his years of effort go to waste, I absolutely cannot let that Ye Feng remain in God’s Domain!
He would not tolerate Ye Feng’s continued contact with Gentle Snow.
He needed to get rid of Ye Feng immediately.
Only with Ye Feng gone would there be no possibility of any development occurring between him and Gentle Snow.
“Young Master Feng, do you have any commands?
” South Wolf respectfully asked.
“I want you to break apart the relationship between Ye Feng and Gentle Snow.
Think of a way to turn them against each other, then make Ye Feng disappear from God’s Domain.
However, you cannot let others know that Underworld is involved in this matter.
Do you understand?
” Feng Xuanyang coldly said.
“Understood.
This subordinate will carry out your orders.
However, I hope that Young Master Feng can allot me some more helpers.
That way, I can do things more easily,” South Wolf smiled as he spoke.
“Fine.
I’ll send a party from the Underworld Guards to assist you.
However, you have to carry things out more beautifully,” Feng Xuanyang said.
Hearing the name ‘Underworld Guards,’ South Wolf was shocked into a jump.
He simply did not know how Ye Feng had provoked Young Master Feng to unleash the Underworld Guards, the core strength of Underworld.
Moreover, it was not tasking just an individual, but a full party.
“Young Master Feng, rest assured; this subordinate will carry out your orders without fail,” South Wolf assured.
— Star River Valley.
The Abyssal Blade in Shi Feng’s hand suddenly emitted pitch-black flames.
These black flames instantly wrapped around the Fine-Gold ranked greatsword and the ten Silver Dawns.
The flames radiated a scorchingly hot temperature as they melted these weapons.
The temperature of the black flames was on an entirely different level compared to the Ice-Blue Devil Flame.
In the blink of an eye, even the Fine-Gold ranked greatsword melted into a lump of metal, the Abyssal Blade continuously absorbing the essence of the weapon.
After the devouring process completed, the Abyssal Blade flared with a gigantic black flame.
The black flame was like a living being, transforming into a black dragon.
The size of the dragon was like a great mountain with the height of around 200 to 300 meters, and pitch-black scales that were even harder than steel covered its entire body.
Soon after, the black dragon released a heaven-shaking roar, instantly scattering the dark clouds in the sky.
The roar of the dragon shocked the entire Star River Valley, and even the Golden Fish in the silver river were shocked still, not moving at all.
“Magic Weapon!
” Faust, who floated in mid-air, instantly knew what was happening when he saw the black dragon’s appearance from the Abyssal Blade.
His constantly calm expression before even showed signs of shock right now, “How is this possible?
A young fellow like you actually controls a Magic Weapon and haven’t felt its curse yet!
” Chapter 157: Battle Prowess Dramatically Rises The appearance of the black dragon instantly sent Blackie and Lonely Snow into shock.
Just standing on the ground and feeling the roar that rang through the skies was enough to cause one to tremble with fear.
As for the flames surrounding the black dragon, the temperature it radiated increased the temperature throughout Star River Valley by more than ten degrees.
The black dragon had thoroughly frightened them stiff.
The black dragon glanced at its surroundings, its sight stopping on Faust momentarily before shifting to Shi Feng.
“It isn’t trying to kill me, right?
” this was the first time Shi Feng had personally witnessed a dragon.
In God’s Domain, dragons were the symbol of power and destruction.
It was obvious just how terrifying dragons were.
Not to mention, the dragon before him right now was a king amongst dragons, the Black Dragon King.
“Young man, relax.
It died long ago, and this is merely a phantom of its past.
It cannot hurt anybody at all.
It has only materialized itself now because you allowed the Magic Weapon to devour and obtain new power,” Faust could see the worry in Shi Feng’s eyes; hence, he explained with a smile.
As expected, the Black Dragon King before Shi Feng simply stared him, taking no other actions.
However, even if it were just a phantom, it was still enough to frighten a person greatly.
If the actual body of the Black Dragon King were here right now, it might have instantly turned the entire Star River Valley into a sea of flames, a living hell.
Shi Feng and the others would not have remained standing there, safe and sound.
After a moment, the shadow of the Black Dragon King dissipated, turning into black flames as it returned into the Abyssal Blade.
Immediately, the Abyssal Blade began its transformation.
Unknown silver-colored runes suddenly appeared on the pitch-black blade in Shi Feng’s hand.
The Abyssal Blade itself gave off a faint illusion of being surrounded by black flames.
There was also a dragon coiling around the hilt of the sword now.
A single glance was enough to tell that the Abyssal Blade was no ordinary item.
Is this the new power of the Abyssal Blade?
As Shi Feng held the Abyssal Blade, he felt the misconception of two minds connecting with each other.
It felt as if the Abyssal Blade were becoming another part of his body, and moving it was no different than stretching his own arm.
Aside from this misconception, the Attributes of the Abyssal Blade also underwent an earthshaking transformation.
[Abyssal Blade] (One-handed Sword, Magic Weapon) Attack Power +96 All Attributes +22 Attack Speed +6 Ignore Levels +7 Attacks have a 30% chance of causing 200% damage; 10% chance to cause 300% damage; 20% chance to induce Doom Curse, reducing all Attributes by 40%, lasting 30 seconds.

40% of the total damage dealt spreads in a cone-shaped area towards targets within a distance of 12 yards for 30 seconds.

It is one of thirty-six famed swords, and it is ranked 31st.
However, this sword has been cursed by the Black Dragon King.
Aside from providing the wielder with immense strength, there will be a Backlash every period of time.
However, after being remodeled by Jack using a Star Crystal, the strength of the Backlash has been greatly reduced.
If the wielder is unable to suppress the Backlash, the wielder will receive the curse of the Black Dragon King, permanently reducing All Attributes by 50%.
Unable to be dropped.
Unable to be traded.
It looks like, if the Abyssal Blade devours better quality weapons, the resulting improvements are also greater.
Shi Feng was extremely satisfied by the Abyssal Blade’s improvements.
Right now, the Abyssal Blade’s Attack Power has reached the standard of a Level 10 Dark-Gold ranked two-handed weapon, not to mention its frightening Attributes.
Just the chances of causing a double-damage critical hit increasing to 30% was a frightening improvement, not to mention the chances of inflicting the Doom Curse increasing to 20%.
As long as the target was cursed, all their Attributes would be reduced by 40%.
It was a fatal power.
“Let’s test out the new power,” Shi Feng tightened his grip on the Abyssal Blade as he looked towards the thousands of Golden Fish swimming in the silver river.
“The Heavenly Dragon’s Breath will definitely be mine.
” “Young man, you are still better off giving up.
Although you have greatly increased your weapon’s prowess, it is still impossible for you to obtain the Fragmented Legendary ranked item,” Faust said with a smile.
It was not that he looked down on Shi Feng; rather, he was extremely clear about the difficulty of the challenge he had set.
If Shi Feng reached Level 20 right now and possessed a complete set of Level 20 Fine-Gold Set Equipment, in addition to a Level 20 Magic Weapon, he would then have a chance of completing this quest.
However, it was clear that Shi Feng had yet to reach such a standard.
Moreover, he was still far from achieving it.
On the other hand, there was a great possibility that he could earn an Epic ranked item now.
“What if I used this?
” Shi Feng suddenly took out the Freezing Shadow he previously obtained.
[Freezing Shadow] (Dart-type Consumable Item) Usage count: 10,000/10,000 Causes 120% frost damage towards a target.
Only effective towards enemies that are Level 30 and below.
No Cooldown.
At a glance, even Blackie and Lonely Shadow, who were familiar with Shi Feng, might not understand this item.
The Freezing Shadow darts could only attack a single target at a time.
Compared to using a skill to cause damage, it was much weaker, so how could it possibly reach the target of 1,000 Golden Fish?
Faust could not help but shake his head, silent as he turned back to his fishing.
“Blackie, Lonely Snow, come over here and help me capture the Golden Fish,” Shi Feng flew up to the silver river as he spoke to his companions.
Although the two did not know what Shi Feng was trying to do, they still chose to trust him unconditionally.
“Let’s start, then.
” After the two of them made their preparations to capture the Golden Fish with the magical net, Shi Feng also finished his own preparations.
Immediately after Shi Feng activated the Ice-Blue Devil Flame, he rushed towards the group of fish with the Abyssal Blade in one hand and the Freezing Shadow in the other.
Shi Feng then slashed the Abyssal Blade towards the spot with the highest concentration of Golden Fish.
Thundering Flash!
Instantly, three electric arcs weaved across over twenty Golden Fish, inflicting frightening damages of -1846, -2389, and -3201.
There were also some Golden Fish that received critical hits, doubling the damage they received to -3692, -4778, and -6402.
There were even some that felt the Doom Curse upon them, immediately reducing their Attributes by 40% and their maximum HP to 60,000 points.
Earth Splitter!
Thunder Flame Explosion!
After the three massive AOE skills, every Golden Fish Shi Feng struck lost at least 20,000 HP.
The ones that received critical strikes lost over 30,000 HP, while those that received the Doom Curse instantly lost close to half of their HP.
Seeing these damages, Blackie and Lonely Snow were both dumbfounded.
They even thought that they were dreaming.
“Scatter and go, Dark Violent Dance!
” after using the three massive AOE skills, he wielded the Freezing Shadow as he activated the Dark Violent Dance.
Xiu!
Xiu!
Xiu!
Instantly, more than ten Freezing Shadow darts pierced the Golden Fish inflicted with the Doom Curse.
Every dart caused over -1,700 damage.
Simultaneously, the damage spread effect of the Dark Violent Dance caused over -600 damage to each of the surrounding Golden Fish.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred Golden Fish had their HP reduced.
Unlike the Frost Grenades, the Freezing Shadows did not have a Cooldown.
The number of darts a player could toss out within a fixed period of time depended solely on their Attack Speed.
Due to the Attribute improvement of the Abyssal Blade, Shi Feng’s Attack Speed had become much faster.
In addition to Faust’s buff, Shi Feng could easily throw out twenty Freezing Shadow darts simultaneously.
However, in an attempt to pursue stability and accuracy, Shi Feng limited the number of darts he tossed out to 12 at a time.
Due to Shi Feng’s unrestrained damaging, the HP of the Golden Fish afflicted by the Doom Curse madly reduced.
Very quickly, the 60,000 HP of these Golden Fish fell to a critical level, forcing them into a crippled state.
