Chapter 1323 Overwhelming
Blackie, Aqua Rose, and the other core members of Zero Wing in the spectator stands blinked in surprise.
Guild Leader, youre going to fight? Turtledove, who stood by the stage, could not help but ask in surprise as Shi Feng walked towards her.
Shi Feng wasnt wearing his Black Cloak, his appearance on display for all to see. However, even with an Identification Skill, players would only see his name, nothing else.
Mhm. I want to see their true strength for myself. Shi Feng nodded.
Although Blackie had sent him some of the opponents battle videos, Flying Shadow and the others hadnt been able to force them to exhibit their true strength. They hadnt used anything unique, so it wasnt easy to relate them to Gods Domains past experts.
Guild Leader, you need to be careful. When I fought him, I had the feeling that I couldnt exert my full power. It was as if all of my attacks had struck a ball of cotton. The technique he used to finish me off was particularly mysterious. When I watched the battle videos of when he had used the same technique during the previous rounds, I only saw him move. There were no afterimages or anything. But when I had faced him myself, it felt as if he had been everywhere around me.
Ghost Steps?
Hearing Turtledoves experience, the only combat technique that came to Shi Fengs mind was Ghost Steps. Like Void Steps, Ghost Steps was an advanced footwork technique. The technique made it difficult for opponents to predict the users attack trajectory. In the past, very few people in Gods Domain had used this technique. However, of the players Shi Feng could remember, none resembled the man on the stage.
Ye Feng? It seems that Zero Wing is finally taking us seriously, Evil Fire, who sat in the VIP stands, said, smiling as he watched Shi Feng.
According to his knowledge, after Black Flame, the next strongest experts were Fire Dance, Gentle Snow, Ye Feng, and Violet Cloud.
Is he strong? the menacing-looking man carrying a blood-red shield on his back and holding a hammer asked curiously.
Unwavering, based on Evils reaction, he must be. Its a pity that it is still Tigers turn to fight. If that player had just waited a little longer, it wouldve been my turn, a gorgeous, graceful woman said as she toyed with the pitch-black dagger in her hand. The woman wore the Light of Darkness Set Equipment, a Level 45 Dark-Gold Set Equipment for Assassins. Sighing, she continued, Watching from the sidelines is really boring.
Flowers right. We shouldnt have agreed to such long intervals. Thanks to that, Tigers getting all the good fights.
The other group members nodded in agreement.
They were fully aware of how strong the Berserker, Mighty Tiger, was. He was already Level 44. He could easily rank among the top 10 on an empires Ranking List. Although he didnt wear Level 45 Dark-Gold Set Equipment, he had two pieces of Growth-type Equipment on him and had already upgraded both to the Dark-Gold rank. They were much stronger than ordinary Dark-Gold Equipment. Their Attributes were also suitable for Berserkers.
Recently, Mighty Tiger had also his Growth-type Weapon, Howling Tomahawk, to Epic rank, raising his combat power to a whole new level. Even their team leader had said that, with Mighty Tigers standards, he could already challenge the top 200 experts on the Gods Domain Experts List.
Moreover, that was without using Ghost Steps.
But what about Star-Moon Kingdom?
Aside from Black Flame, who ranked 51st on the Gods Domain Experts List, the kingdom didnt have a single player in the top 200. If anything, only Fire Dance, who had risen to the 215th position in the latest update, was worth their attention.
As long as Tiger defeats Ye Feng, we just need to defeat Fire Dance or Gentle Snow. After that, I doubt that Black Flame will be able to just stand by. Hell be forced to accept your challenge tomorrow, Evil. Unwavering Hand said as he shifted his gaze to Aqua Rose and the other Zero Wing core members. Evil, make sure to give it your all. The leader has a very favorable view of you. You will be representing our adventurer team in its debut fight. You cant lose.
Big Brother Unwavering, I thought you were aware of my abilities. Just sit back and enjoy the fight tomorrow, Evil Fire said, smiling.
He paid no attention whatsoever to Black Flames title of Sword King. He only had one goal: to rank among the top 10 on the Gods Domain Experts List.
Meanwhile, an uproar shook the spectator stands.
Crap, isnt that Ye Feng, Zero Wings Honorary Elder?
After losing so many matches, it seems Zero Wing had finally decided to get serious. That Berserkers winning streak will come to an end.
Thats not certain. The previous Zero Wing experts were defeated so easily. Although the rumors about Ye Fengs feats are impressive, that doesnt mean he can defeat that Berserker.
Thats right! None of Zero Wings experts could reduce the Berserkers HP to below 50%. This is also a melee battle; they cant use any Skills, Spells, or tools. This shows how high the Berserkers combat standards are. Even if he is going up against Ye Feng, Im willing to bet that he has more than a 60% chance of winning. If anything, I dont think anyone but Black Flame and Fire Dance can put up a fight.
I guess thats true. Although the rumors about Ye Feng say that he is very powerful, his battle records are old. Now that everyones been playing Gods Domain for so long, their combat standards have improved significantly. I dont think that Ye Feng can win that easily.
The audience discussed the upcoming fight headedly. Meanwhile, members of the various large Guilds were eager to watch the fight. They hoped to watch Zero Wing humiliate itself.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Mighty Tiger glared at Shi Feng. He asked, What? You wanna be my opponent?
Thats right, Shi Feng answered calmly, nodding.
The previous fights were over before I could even warm up. They were boring. Hopefully, you dont disappoint me as well. Mighty Tiger laughed as he glanced at Flying Shadow and the others, who sat in the spectator stands.
He had gained some insight about Shi Feng from Evil Fire. Rumored to be as strong as Fire Dance, who was ranked 215th on the Gods Domain Experts List, he should serve as a decent opponent.
Flying Shadow and his companions gritted their teeth when they heard Mighty Tigers comment. However, they couldnt do anything about it. Despite having the advantage in terms of Basic Attributes, they had been defeated. This proved that Mighty Tigers combat techniques were superior to theirs.
How do you want to set the rules of the match? Shi Feng asked calmly, unperturbed by Mighty Tigers provocation.
Same as before. No Spells, Skills, or tools are allowed. Well compete using only our techniques. Mighty Tiger set the duels rules and sent Shi Feng a duel request. If youre not used to melee battles, I can only use 70% of my HP against you. Youll win if you take me down to 30%.
Hearing Mighty Tigers terms, the spectators gasped. They hadnt expected Mighty Tiger to be so bold.
However, Mighty Tiger earned his arrogance. After all, none of Zero Wings experts had reduced his HP to below 50%.
Thats fine. Lets begin, Shi Feng said nonchalantly.
Once both sides had agreed to the duel, a timer appeared above the stage.
5...
4...
3...
2...
1...
Start!
Lets see how strong you really are.
As the duel began, Mighty Tiger retrieved the two axes from his back and dashed towards Shi Feng like a tiger pouncing on its prey. Shi Feng could feel the Berserkers icy killing intent lock onto him. It was clear that the Berserker wasnt like the players who only fought in games.
When Mighty Tiger was 10 yards away from Shi Feng, his footwork changed.
Sure enough, hes using Ghost Steps, Shi Feng thought when he saw Mighty Tigers body suddenly split into two identical clones, both moving in different directions. Very quickly, the two clones split into four and so on. It was as if Mighty Tiger had used a Skill to create doppelgangers or illusions. To players who could not use Skills or Spells, this was an extreme disadvantage.
Tiger is taking this too seriously. Hes using Ghost Steps right off the bat. Ye Feng wont even have a chance to display his skills, Unwavering Hand said, shaking his head.
From the audiences viewpoint, it seemed as if Mighty Tiger had approached Shi Feng head-on before turning abruptly and circling to his opponents side.
When Shi Feng and Mighty Tiger collided, a blue light flashed on the stage.
As Mighty Tiger turned to launch a follow-up attack, his vision started to grow dark. He then noticed a flower of blood bloom across his chest. Before he had realized what had happened, he collapsed to the ground behind Shi Feng.
What just happened? Everyone was confused as they stared at Mighty Tigers corpse, none of them knowing what had just happened.
Following which, the victors name appeared above the stage.
Ye Feng!
