Chapter 896 - Skyrocketing Points
The Secret Pavilion had another na for the Battle Tower: the Tower of Guidance.
From what Kong Haoran shared, the Battle Tower could help a player grow—all the way up to grasping a Domain.
Previously, Shi Feng only partly believed these words. Now, however, he no longer doubted them.
In order to be considered as having reached the Refinent Realm, one needed to have excellent control over their own body and be able to flexibly and naturally vary the amount of strength their body exerted.
The Flowing Water Realm required one to perceive and observe the opponents. One had to be able to distinguish their opponent’s thoughts and carry out appropriate responses in advance by observing the opponent’s minute movents. To put it simply, one needed to be able to react before their opponents even acted.
The Void Realm demanded a certain amount of control over one’s surroundings. Instead of rely judging the environnt through vision alone, one needed to push their five senses to the very limits and rely on these enhanced senses to determine all movents occurring in the background.
The goal of the Battle Tower’s first floor was to have players learn how to control themselves, using the pressure of facing a large number of lions to learn how to adapt nimbly to sudden changes.
The second floor was ant to improve a player’s instantaneous observation powers and snap judgnt.
The third floor served to improve a player’s perception and judgnt of distance. Accurately judging distance was a challenging task. However, as long as one managed to achieve this, they would be considered to have officially entered the Flowing Water Realm.
Shi Feng had to admit that the guidance provided by the Battle Tower was very on point. It was no wonder that Super Guilds could nurture such a large number of top-tier experts.
The Fla Falcons and Fla Eagle hovering in the sky had no intention of giving Shi Feng too much ti. Letting out screeches that echoed throughout the entire valley, the fiery birds spat out scorching flas in Shi Feng’s direction in unison.

"It will be difficult for him to clear the third floor."
Among those present inside the Battle Fortress were quite a few people whose progress stalled on the third floor. Hence, they were very clear on how difficult this floor was.
Not only would one receive fla attacks from all directions, but the valley floor would also change at random. Places that were originally safe zones could turn into a danger zone in the next second. One constantly needed to pay attention to their footing while on this floor.
Moreover, there were no objects in the area that could serve to block the fla attacks of the monsters.
One could just imagine the difficulty of the third floor. Not to ntion attacking the flying monsters, the majority of the players who reached this floor would generally fail to cope properly, and ultimately died to either the scorching ground or the fla attacks.
"What is he trying to do?"
Everyone suddenly noticed that, despite seeing the ten streaks of flas coming at him, Shi Feng actually chose to remain standing still.
Just as the flas were about to devour Shi Feng, the Swordsman suddenly strode forward, his body leaving behind nurous afterimages as he moved about the small platform he was on. In the next mont, one streak of flas engulfed the afterimages Shi Feng left behind. After all ten were gone, Shi Feng was standing back in his original position completely unscathed.
"How is this possible?!" Cold Autumn was montarily stupefied.
Although he had yet to reach the third floor himself, it was obvious to him that were he the one going up against these fla attacks, aside from running and dodging, he would have no other thod to retain his life. The distance the fla attacks were launched from was simply too short. He would have absolutely no way to avoid that many attacks in the limited maneuvering space available. As for blocking the fla attacks with his weapon, that would be utterly impossible. He would need a complete set of Mysterious-Iron Equipnt—at the very least—to avoid taking any damage from blocking the attacks of the Fla Falcons. Blocking the attacks of the Fla Eagle would require him to be fully geared in Secret-Silver Equipnt at the minimum.
However, the system ard them with only a set of Bronze Equipnt in the Battle Tower. Trying to defend against the fla attacks would be suicidal.
Now, even while standing in that small area, Shi Feng had actually managed to avoid all the fla attacks. It was as if these flas were intentionally circling his body.
"This is impossible! There must be sothing wrong with the system! How can he dodge all those attacks in ti at such a close distance?!" The players spectating Shi Feng had long since gone into an uproar. Almost all of them had shouted the sa thing.
No matter how they wrapped their minds around it, dodging so many attacks from such a close distance was not feasible. The only possibility was that an error had occurred with the system. Otherwise, how were they supposed to explain the earlier scene?
Wen Hua, however, did not feel any surprise at the outco of that onslaught.
Everyone was basing their judgnts only on the distance the flas were coming from. However, they had forgotten that they were living in a three-dinsional world. Aside from horizontal and vertical distance, one also should not forget depth. On the screen, it might seem as if all ten fla attacks ca over similar distances. But in reality, the distance each attack needed to travel was different. As all ten attacks were launched simultaneously, the tis at which the attacks reached Shi Feng would differ slightly. anwhile, Shi Feng had utilized the small ti difference in the arrival of the attacks to systematically evade them one after another.
The one part about this scene that annoyed Wen Hua, however, was that she had not noticed the slightest bit of haste or anxiety in Shi Feng’s movents. The man had casually dodged the attacks as if he was just taking a leisurely stroll, his actions containing no excess movent whatsoever. Wen Hua even felt a shiver go down her back when she looked at how smooth and natural his movents were.
The nurous surprised gasps coming from the spectators imdiately attracted the attention of those resting in the main hall, every one of them looking at these several spectators in confusion.
"What’s up with them? Aren’t they just spectating a battle? Is there a need to go so crazy over it?"
This curiosity now tempted many more people who were reluctant to part with their points. Such a commotion had never occurred before, even when the upper echelons of their Guilds fought in the Battle Tower.
What exactly was going on inside the Battle Tower?
Just as everyone was hesitating over whether or not to spectate Shi Feng’s battle, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious red-black martial arts robes entered the hall. With quick steps, this middle-aged man walked up to the portal of the Battle Tower. After finding a quiet place to sit in, the man then chose to spectate Shi Feng’s battle.
"Damn! This is madness! This is simply madness!"
"Why has Elder Yuan co over as well? Isn’t this a training system ant to nurture youths with potential?"
"He couldn’t be here to..."
All the bystanders suddenly thought of a possibility when they looked at Yuan Tiexin quietly sitting down and calling out his system interface. However, none of them could accept this shocking thought of theirs.
Those who had still been hesitating imdiately looked for seats and chose to spectate Shi Feng’s battle.
Instantly, the number of people spectating Shi Feng increased to 63.
Those who lacked the points to spectate were all stupefied by this scene. Even when the upper echelon of the Secret Pavilion ca to challenge the Battle Tower, the number of spectators would be around this number, at most. Moreover, today was a day when many people were busy with their own matters and had not co to participate in the training system. Otherwise, the number of spectators right now would definitely rise even higher.
"Just who is Brother Shi Feng?" The shock Kong Haoran was feeling right now at this sight was many tis more intense than what he felt when he had faced off against an army of over 100,000 elite players.
"I would be set for life if I could have this many people spectating my battle." Huo Zhengyang could not close his mouth as he saw this scene.
Just how many Battle Points could he earn if he had this many people spectating his battle as well?
Even if he fought against a Refinent Realm expert every day, those points could last him for two whole months.

On the third floor of the Battle Tower, Shi Feng repeatedly dodged the fla attacks sent at him. Even when the terrain changed, he managed to reach a safe zone imdiately. Occasionally, he would also attack with a flying dart. Although the damage he caused was low, only -500 points or so, none of the monsters in the Battle Tower had the battle recovery ability. Hence, he could slowly but surely wear down these monsters.
Following which, one Fla Falcon’s HP continuously decreased. The battle had already fallen under Shi Feng’s complete control.
That’s enough experintation. It’s about ti things ended. He then threw out the last dart that took away the final strand of HP of a Fla Falcon.
As a result of one Fla Falcon dying, the number of attacks Shi Feng had to face at a single ti decreased from ten to nine, making dodging the attacks much easier for him.
With no suspense whatsoever, he whittled down the remaining Fla Falcons and Fla Eagle, once again easily clearing a floor.
Only, as Shi Feng was not playing a ranged class, his attacks were a lot less effective compared those of ranged classes. Hence, he had not managed to break the record clear ti for the third floor. Even so, he still stupefied all his spectators.
The reason for everyone’s shock was because Shi Feng’s clear ti for the third floor was only marginally slower than the current record holder’s. If his ranged weapon had been slightly better and he had learned a few more good Skills, he could’ve easily broken the record.
Following which, Shi Feng entered the fourth floor of the Battle Tower. This was also the highest floor the current batch of trainees had reached.
