Chapter 2081 Stormy Winds
Star-Moon Kingdom, White River City:
Although White River City was not the kingdoms capital, its popularity overshadowed Star-Moon City as the main headquarters of the kingdoms number one Guild and home to the Candlelight Trading Firm, which continued to introduce one new product after another. At this point, White River City had become the kingdoms capital in the hearts of Star-Moon Kingdoms players.
Since White River City was the only city in the kingdom to be promoted, its fame had reached new heights. Tons of players from foreign cities and countries visited the city every day, and it had become almost as prosperous as an ordinary empires imperial capital.
Over a dozen Level 64 players in gorgeous equipment had gathered on the second floor of White River Citys Auction House. They all wore the same Guild Emblem as they watched the fight in the Auction Arena. Contempt filled their eyes as they looked down on the combatants.
As expected of a small kingdom. Although the local players equipment standards are quite good, their combat standards are terrible. Theyre not even a match for some second-rate Guilds in our Dark Night Empire. Its no wonder why Zero Wing lords over Star-Moon Kingdom, a Level 64 Berserker said as he watched several Guild players from Star-Moon Kingdom fight in the Auction Arena in ridicule.
The Berserker had not held back his opinion. With the physique of Tier 2 players, the combatants had heard him clearly even from 50 yards away. However, none of those players dared to comment against the Berserker. They all simply lowered their heads and remained silent.
This Berserker had earned the right to such arrogance.
This Level 64 Berserker had won 20 matches in the Auction Arena in a row. Quite a few of the Berserkers opponents had been peak experts from Star-Moon Kingdom, but none of them had dropped the Berserkers HP below 80%. This Berserker had even fought two opponents at once and still maintained his HP above 80%, winning the match.
Moreover, the Berserkers identity was extraordinary. This Berserker was Dust Blood, one of the ten great experts from the Dark Night Empires Bloodbath Family.
The Bloodbath Family was a veteran first-rate Guild, and at this point, it was the strongest Guild in the Dark Night Empire, excluding the three resident superpowers. The Bloodbath Family also occupied a medium-sized kingdom and a small-sized kingdom. No ordinary first-rate Guild could hope to compare to its strength.
Although these Guilds are very weak, Zero Wings title as Star-Moon Kingdoms overlord proves that it has some ability.
Furthermore, Zero Wing has four experts that rank on the Gods Domain Experts List. Black Flame, in particular, has killed many superpowers peak experts thus far, a young man in dark-gray robes said.
Zero Wings name had already become commonplace in the Dark Night Empire. After all, the Guild had successfully helped the Hundred Flowers Palace stop Starlinks invasion in Moon Creek Town. The incident had surprised the empires various Guilds, all of which had immediately investigated Zero Wing.
However, the more they looked into Zero Wing, the more the Guild surprised them.
These Guilds hadnt been surprised by Zero Wings rapid development in Gods Domain, but by the number of frightening powers Zero Wing had provoked.
The Dragon-Phoenix Pavilions Nine Dragons Emperor, the Evil Gods Temple, Pantheon, Blackwater, Miracle, and the Dark Night Empires Starlink.
All of these Guilds were powerful enough to make even a first-rate Guild like Bloodbath Family shudder in fear, yet Zero Wing had provoked every one of them. The fact that Zero Wing had survived this long was unbelievable. Calling it a miracle wasnt an exaggeration.
Zero Wings success will soon reach its end. The various superpowers have been busy with their own matters, so none of them have bothered to retaliate. Ive also heard that Zero Wing has a tentative alliance with the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilions Phoenix Rain. But things have changed. The various superpowers have set their sights on White River City, and even if Phoenix Rain makes a personal appearance, she cant change Zero Wings fate, Dust Blood said, sneering.
The fact that Zero Wing had four experts that ranked on the Gods Domain Experts List was impressive to other Guilds, but the achievement meant nothing to the various superpowers. The Gods Domain Experts List focused on players battle records, not their overall strength.
Gods Domain had many experts that hadnt accumulated eye-catching battle records, yet wielded peerless strength. Take the Bloodbath Family, for example. Bloodbath Familys expert members were even stronger than the Refinement Realm experts on the Gods Domain Experts List, but none of them had actually made it on the list.
To put it simply, only small Guilds and independent players took the Gods Domain Experts List seriously. It was merely an information source for true major powers, not an indicator of a Guilds strength.
Moreover, the competition for an NPC citys Auction House didnt rely on war weapons or tools. Instead, it relied on a Guilds resources and experts. The competition prohibited artificial strength, so the war weapons Zero Wing had been lucky enough to acquire would be useless. With how few experts Zero Wing possessed, it wouldnt even be able to defeat veteran first- rate Guilds like Bloodbath Family, much less the various superpowers.
I guess youre right. The various superpowers will not give up on White River Citys Auction House. Some of the old monsters that usually hide in the shadows are even revealing themselves to ensure their Guilds success in the competition. Even experts on the Gods Domain Experts List will be of limited use, the young man nodded in agreement. When he spoke of the various superpowers old monsters, fear and yearning flashed in his eyes.
Thus far, the fights between Gods Domains superpowers had been nothing more than skirmishes. Large-scale battles between these major powers were rare. Moreover, to nurture the younger generation, the various superpowers true experts typically avoided their Guilds affairs. They kept to themselves, quietly increasing their strength. If these old monsters took action, how would the younger generation acquire any fame? Even the younger generations greatest prodigy was a joke before these old monsters!
Zero Wing is certainly unlucky. It couldve remained the king of its mountain for some time. Unfortunately, White River City was promoted too quickly. Now, even its dream of standing atop its mountain as king would shatter. Ive heard that even Kings Return, Blackwater, and Pantheon have arrived to compete for White River City. I cant wait to see these superpowers tear Zero Wing apart, Dust Blood said, smiling.
Oh? Look over there. Even the Glory Empires Holy Reincarnation has come. It seems that theyre here to watch the fight between these superpowers, as well, the young man said suddenly as he pointed to a group often or so players that had just arrived in the second-floor hall with a smirk.
Holy Reincarnation was also a veteran first-rate Guild, strong enough to rival the Bloodbath Family. It was also the second strongest Guild, after Kings Return, in the Glory Empire.
While the various kingdoms and empires powers gathered in White River City in anticipation of the Auction Houses struggle, Shi Feng worked on crafting the Crystal Light Set in the nearby Candlelight Trading Firm.
Although up to ten players could learn the Crystal Light Sets production method from the Ancient Forging Book, it was an eight-piece Dark-Gold Set Equipment. Not even Basic Master Forgers like Melancholic Smile and Cream Cocoa would have much success with forging the set. Furthermore, Melancholic Smile and the others had their own work to focus on.
Hence, Shi Feng decided to craft the set equipment himself. Fortunately, acquiring the required materials was no trouble for Shi Feng.
Zero Wing had been growing stronger as time passed, and as a result, it had compiled a ton of materials in the Guild Warehouse. In addition, the Candlelight Trading Firm had joined the Secret Chamber of Commerce. So, obtaining the necessary materials to forge the Crystal Light Set Equipment was quite easy for the Guild.
In fact, Shi Feng had gathered more than a dozen sets of materials in less than an hour.
He then refined the materials with the Soul Fire. Using the Philosophers Hands ability, Shi Feng continued to shape one set piece after another. Before he put the finishing touches on the eight-piece set, Shi Feng retrieved 40 grains of Temporal Sand.
Temporal Sand was incredibly valuable, with each gain selling for more than 20 Gold on the market. Not only could it increase ones production success rate, but it could also strengthen the crafted item. Shi Feng allocated five grains of Temporal Sand for each set piece, the maximum amount Dark-Gold Equipment could handle.
If he hadnt had the Bracelet of Time, he wouldnt have dared to use the Temporal Sand so extravagantly.
The Crystal Light Set Equipment then radiated a dazzling glow, illuminating the entire room. As the light faded, it revealed eight pieces of equipment, glowing with a sparkling light and radiating an ancient, violent aura.
