Chapter 1982 – Breakthrough
After Shi Feng disappeared from the first floor, Zero Wing’s mbers quickly snapped out of their daze and resud challenging the first-floor trial.
Extraordinary Tower’s second-floor training ground:
So, this is the second floor’s training? The scene before Shi Feng took him by surprise.
At this mont, the space he stood in was no longer inside the Extraordinary Tower. Instead, he had arrived in an alternate realm.
Unlike the first-floor training ground, the second-floor training ground consisted of a mist-covered staircase, which had a hundred steps, and a pair of stone doors at the top of the staircase. It was obvious the second-floor trial required players to ascend this staircase and reach the stone doors.
However, what caught Shi Feng’s attention the most was the Mana density here, which was at least 50% higher than what he felt in the Extraordinary Tower. Surrounded by such concentrated Mana, Shi Feng felt his mind becoming extraordinarily clear. For a mont, he felt as if he could accomplish anything so long as he put his mind to it.
In such a Mana-rich environnt, he would not have to worry about running out of Stamina and Concentration, even if he were to use Advanced Combat Techniques nonstop. He could exert his full strength as much as he wanted.
Shi Feng finally understood why activating the second-floor training ground had cost 100,000 Magic Crystals, why the second-floor training ground required 5,000 Magic Crystals to operate every day, and why only 50 people could undergo the training at the sa ti.
With such an excellent environnt, as well as the fact that the training ground here provided in-depth training for the Realms of Truth, the second-floor training ground was indeed worth every Magic Crystal he had paid. Given the opportunity, the various superpowers would be willing to pay five tis that price to obtain such a training ground.
After Shi Feng familiarized himself with the environnt here, he promptly stepped onto the snow-white staircase.
Each step of the staircase was half a ter tall, requiring players to make quite a large movent just to climb one. A distance of roughly 13 yards separated each step. Even a Tier 2 expert would need so ti to climb each step; they wouldn’t be able to climb the next step in a single breath at the very least.
The mont Shi Feng climbed onto the first step, he felt his entire body weakening. His Basic Attributes and the improved Life Rating he gained from his Dark Iron Bloodline beca useless as soon as he set foot on the staircase.
After three seconds, his Basic Attributes had fallen to the standard of a Level 50, Tier 1 Swordsman fully geared in Bronze Equipnt Even his physique had regressed to the Tier 1 standard. He was as ordinary as an ordinary player could get now.
anwhile, before Shi Feng could adapt to this sudden drop in strength, two Tier 1 Swordsn, who looked exactly like him and were geared in silver armor, appeared on the step he stood on. As soon as they had fully materialized, these Swordsn unsheathed their twin swords and charged at him.
Within a breath of ti, both Level 50, Tier 1 Swordsn crossed the 10-yard distance and arrived before Shi Feng.
Tier 1 Skill, Gale Sword!
Tier 1 Skill, Triple Moon Intercept!
Both Swordsn used an extrely rare Tier 1 Skill. Moreover, their actions were free of any unnecessary movents as they struck directly at Shi Feng’s vitals.
Upon seeing this, Shi Feng hurriedly countered by executing Sword’s Orbit.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After the swords of the two sides clashed about five or six tis, Shi Feng got sent flying off the staircase’s first step. anwhile, once Shi Feng fell off the step, the two silver Swordsn did not pursue him. Instead, they returned to their original positions and stood there quietly.
So strong! Shi Feng was astounded as he looked at his two opponents. Even after falling to the foot of the staircase, he had to take five steps back before he managed to stabilize himself.
Although the clash with the silver Swordsn was brief, Shi Feng understood that their combat standard was already close to reaching the Refinent Realm standard. Moreover, their mastery over their Skills was practically perfect with both Skills executed at a 100% Completion Rate. Their true combat power was definitely no weaker than a true Refinent Realm expert’s.
Aside from having very high technical standards, the silver Swordsn’s Basic Attributes were also far superior to his own.
If he tried to face their attacks head-on, he would definitely get sent flying.
The difficulty ramped up this much just by going up a floor? Glancing at the motionless, silver Swordsn, Shi Feng roughly understood the difficulty rating of the second-floor trial.
If a Flowing Water Realm expert were to go up against these two silver Swordsn, the said expert would have no chance of getting past even the first step.
The Flowing Water Realm allowed one to perceive the actions of one’s opponents and make simple, preemptive offensive or defensive maneuvers.
However, both silver Swordsn were invulnerable to damage. Attacking them would be aningless. Moreover, doing so would only expose holes in one’s defenses to the silver Swordsn. Executing simple defensive maneuvers, such as blocking or deflecting, would result in the Flowing Water Realm expert getting gradually pushed off the staircase step after step. As for evasive maneuvers, those were simply impossible. With the disparity in Basic Attributes, Movent Speed, and reaction speed, a Flowing Water Realm expert would find it next to impossible to dodge the attack of just one silver Swordsman, let alone two.
In other words, a Flowing Water Realm expert would not be able to achieve anything on this floor. Only if said Flowing Water Realm expert had reached the Truth Realm might they barely defend against the two silver Swordsn. As for Refinent Realm experts that had entered the Truth Realm, they would very likely get sent flying off the staircase on the first exchange.
Following which, Shi Feng stepped onto the staircase once more.
This ti, however, he did not choose to receive the attacks of the two silver Swordsn directly. Instead, he skillfully brandished his two swords and redirected the attack of one of the silver Swordsn toward the other silver Swordsman’s attack, the two attacks canceling out each other. This then created an opportunity for Shi Feng to move past the two silver Swordsn and climb to the next step.
Only, climbing each step was a challenge, as he had to make huge movents to climb up the tall steps while deflecting the attacks of the two silver Swordsn.
However, with each step he climbed, Shi Feng could feel his understanding of the Realms of Truth deepening.
When he ascended to the tenth step, one more silver Swordsman suddenly joined the two silver Swordsn chasing after him, instantly increasing the trial’s difficulty by a large margin.
Things are finally getting a little interesting. Shi Feng felt the pressure on him strengthening as he dealt with the relentless assault of the three silver Swordsn.
Fortunately, it had already been quite so ti since he had reached the Ascension Realm. The combined assault of the three silver Swordsn was still within his tolerance range. Nevertheless, each ti he wanted to climb a step, he had to prepare himself both physically and ntally for quite a while.
By the ti Shi Feng reached the 29th step, he was facing four silver Swordsn and already close to reaching his limit
When he eventually climbed to the 30th step, one of the silver Swordsn suddenly turned into a golden Swordsman. Before Shi Feng could adjust to the change, the golden Swordsman’s improved Strength and speed sent him flying back down to the 29th step.
Due to the presence of the golden Swordsman, Shi Feng was stuck moving back and forth between the 29th and 30th steps.
As the number of tis Shi Feng got sent flying increased, he began to grasp his shortcomings—his skill at utilizing external forces was still inadequate. Although he had redirected one of the silver Swordsn’s attacks toward the golden Swordsman’s, the golden Swordsman’s Strength was simply overwhelming. Before the golden Swordsman’s attack could be nullified, the silver Swordsman’s attack was crushed, and the golden Swordsman’s attack would continue toward him.
One hour...
Two hours...
Four hours...
After many hours had passed, when Shi Feng was faced with the golden Swordsman’s oncoming longsword once again, he executed Sword’s Orbit and filled his surroundings with a galaxy of stars.
In the next mont, however, the three silver Swordsn’s attacks involuntarily moved to greet the golden Swordsman’s attack.
Boom!
After a loud explosion echoed throughout the entire training ground, the golden Swordsman went flying up a step while the three silver Swordsn fell down the step. At this mont, only Shi Feng remained standing quietly on the 31st step.
Wonderful! I succeeded! Shi Feng had an ecstatic expression on his face as he gazed at the collapsed golden Swordsman. I finally have my own combat technique!
