Chapter 2368 Venue Shocked
White Autumn hadnt been loud, but everyone in the venue had heard him clearly. They immediately turned toward Shi Feng in astonishment.
Hes reached Tier 3?! Impossible!
Instinctively, they refused to believe White Autumns claim, especially the furious Long Xianglong. He assumed White Autumn was trying to trick him.
Is White Autumn joking? How can that kid be Tier 3?! Not even Duan Hanshan believed White Autumns statement had been serious.
Apex experts like Duan Hanshan had been fighting to reach Tier 3 for a while, yet even now, he wasnt confident of completing his Promotion Quest and intended to train for a while longer.
Meanwhile, Shi Feng was merely the Guild Leader from a pseudo-superpower. He had nowhere near as much access to resources as Azures Grand Elders. Itd already be impressive if the young man had reached Level 100, not to mention Tier 3.
However, Hermit suddenly stepped forward and confirmed, He is indeed a Tier 3 Sword King.
Shocked silence filled the venue again after Hermit supported White Autumns statement. Not only had White Autumn claimed that Shi Feng was a Tier 3 player, but now Hermit, one of Azures Grand Elders, agreed. Either these two men were playing a joke, or they were telling the truth. However, Hermit should have no reason to lie with his status and position.
Everyone turned to stare at Shi Feng, their expressions changing. Rather than seeing a simple pseudo-superpowers Guild Leader, they saw Shi Feng as a Tier 3 powerhouse that could effortlessly slaughter Tier 2 players.
Its no wonder why Hermit turned a blind eye to his earlier transgression! So, hes a Tier 3 Sword King? Realization dawned on Burning Owl.
Hermit was famous for his strict nature in the Azure Chamber of Commerce. He wouldnt tolerate an outsider killing one of Azures peak experts, yet he had done precisely that at the Dark Hills checkpoint. He had even admonished the surviving peak experts that guarded the checkpoint.
Hermit wasnt trying to interfere with the two main families affairs; he just wanted to prevent any friction between Azure and Shi Feng.
Tier 3? Hes certainly hidden his strength, Jade Bamboo muttered. Now, she watched Shi Feng with a more serious gaze. She hadnt thought that Zero Wing had such an incredible foundation.
The Tier 3 Promotion Quest was an exceptionally difficult trial. Based on what she knew, none of Gods Domains superpowers had successfully nurtured a Tier 3 player yet. If Shi Feng were truly a Tier 3 player, her adventurer alliance would need to reevaluate the potential partnership with Zero Wing.
Meanwhile, Long Xianglongs complexion shifted between red and white. He was silent for a long moment, but eventually, he gritted his teeth and glared at Shi Feng. Excellent! You actually tried to trick me!
Even he would have to flee from a Tier 3 player. The difference between the tiers power was simply too massive to overcome, which was how Tier 2 players so easily trampled over Tier 1 players.
Meanwhile, Duan Hanshan was relieved that he hadnt attacked the man earlier. Otherwise, he wouldve been in this awkward position, rather than Long Xianglong.
Elder Long, do you still desire a match? Shi Feng asked, smiling faintly.
Shi Feng could understand Long Xianglongs desire to drag Silent Wonder to the Azure Chamber of Commerce, but he couldnt ignore the mans insult that Zero Wing would destroy her future.
If Long Xianglong wanted a match, Shi Feng didnt mind showing off Zero Wings foundations.
No need. I admit that I am no match for you right now, Long Xianglong decided. However, the difference between our individual strengths doesnt prove anything. Nurturing experts require a massive amount of resources. Is Zero Wing better equipped than Azure to handle that requirement?
How would we know if we dont try? Shi Feng nonchalantly replied.
Azure had a lot of resources, but Zero Wing wasnt as unprepared to nurture experts as it had been in the past. This was especially true now that Zero Wing had accumulated a huge stockpile of Primal Void Stones. Once the Guild constructed a combat room with those stones, it would be just as capable of nurturing experts as current superpowers.
Furthermore, Shi Feng had a better understanding of what awaited players after Tier 3 than anyone.
Good! Very good! Azure holds this competition between the shareholder families younger generation every year. Naturally, Wonder will participate in next years competition, as well. Show me how far shell develop with Zero Wing without Azures resources! Long Xianglong snarled before he turned and left.
Third Uncle! Silent Wonder felt anxious as she watched Long Xianglong storm off.
Zero Wing had expended a lot of resources to help her improve. She had hoped to return the favor with resources from Azure once she had won the competition, but Long Xianglongs attitude made it clear that he had no intention of giving her Guild a single cent.
Dont bother, Second Sis. You know how Third Uncle is. Well have to wait until he calms down to persuade him,
Burning Owl advised, trying to ease Silent Wonders nerves.
She had no choice but to give up, despite how guilty she felt.
Meanwhile, the various spectating powers joyfully grinned at Shi Feng, especially Duan Hanshan.
Despite helping the Long Family a great deal, Zero Wing would walk away with nothing. Why wouldnt Duan Hanshan be pleased?
Black Flame is very strong, but hes foolish. He threw away such a golden opportunity. Yan Xiaoqian looked at the man, a little disappointed. It seems Silent Wonder wont be a match for me in the next competition.
Black Flame really is stubborn. If he hadnt provoked Long Xianglong, he wouldve secured precious resources from the western continent. Not only would Zero Wing have grown stronger, but it wouldve had an easier time fending off the Otherworlds invading powers. But hes lost everything. What can he possibly do by himself? The blue-clad Assassin beside Jade Bamboo surmised, just as stunned by Shi Fengs performance as the rest of the crowd.
Shi Feng might be very strong and deserve respect for reaching Tier 3 so soon, but hed only have that advantage for a short time. His status as a Tier 3 player would be meaningless once the various superpowers experts were the same tier. How exactly did Zero Wing intend to compete with the Azure Chamber of Commerce then?
Jade Bamboo nodded in agreement. She had planned to convince her Alliance Master to negotiate a partnership with Zero Wing, but it seemed that it was no longer necessary.
Similarly, the other superpowers that intended to approach Zero Wing about an alliance dismissed the idea.
Shi Feng didnt remain in Demonstone Town after Azures competition reached its end. He and Silent Wonder immediately teleported back to White River City. Since the very beginning, he had never viewed Demonstone Towns resources as important.
He had only one thing on his mind: his territory in the Cold Spring Canyon. Once he developed the area, the resources Azure could offer would pale in comparison.
