Chapter 50 â Frightening Zero Wing
âStop! Soul!â
Galaxy Past panicked when he saw Hidden Soul dashing into the room with her short sword drawn. Although he had long since known that Hidden Soul was a crazy woman, he didnât think that she would try to test Shi Fengâs strength as soon as they met.
Maniac!
Hidden Soul was a true maniac!
However, ignoring Galaxy Pastâs words, Hidden Soul promptly vanished from Galaxy Pastâs vision and perception. The standard of her footwork and body technique were leagues ahead of Zhuo Yalinâs.
Itâs overâŠ
Galaxy Past fell into despair when he saw Hidden Soul vanishing. Originally, he had wanted to rely on Hidden Soul to help him earn points at a quicker rate. Yet, now, Hidden Soul had ended up trying to assassinate Shi Feng. There was no way he could salvage the situation now.
Hidden Soul was labeled as a death god in Godâs Domain because she could kill almost anyone within ten steps of her. Even Tier 6 God-ranked experts were at risk of death if they werenât careful.
It should be known that there was a gigantic gap in Basic Attributes between Tier 5 and Tier 6 players. So, it was almost impossible for a Tier 5 player to assassinate a Tier 6 player.
Although Hidden Soul had regressed to Tier 3 now, even Tier 4 experts were probably at risk of dying at her blade, let alone Tier 3 expertsâŠ
Just when Galaxy Past thought that he had ruined his partnership with Zero Wing, he suddenly heard a loud boom coming from inside the room. It sounded like something crashing to the ground. Upon hearing this sound, he hurriedly entered the room with a worried heart.
However, as soon as Galaxy Past entered the room, he was instantly dumbfounded.
How is this possible?!
Currently, inside the spacious living room, Galaxy Past saw Shi Feng quietly sitting on the living room sofa while Hidden Soulâs body lay paralyzed on the living room carpet. At a glance, it looked like something heavy was pressing down on Hidden Soulâs body, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldnât break free from her current stateâŠ
This outcome far exceeded Galaxy Pastâs expectations, and his mind had difficulty processing this situation.
In a situation where both Hidden Soul and Shi Feng were at Tier 3, not only did Hidden Soul fail to assassinate Shi Feng, but judging by the current situation, it would seem that she didnât even manage to lay a finger on Shi FengâŠ
However, after observing this scene for less than half a second, Galaxy Past suddenly felt an unbearably heavy pressure acting on his body, causing him to instantly collapse to the ground. At the same time, he also felt his mind being assaulted by a frighteningly powerful mental attack.
Divine Might?!
Galaxy Past grew even more shocked after falling to the ground.
As a Tier 5 player, he would often come into contact with items belonging to Gods. Hence, Divine Might was something he was incredibly familiar with.
Yet, the Divine Might he was familiar with felt incredibly foreign right now.
Divine Might was usually used to refer to the mental deterrence created by Gods. It was something unique to Tier 6 Gods, Tier 6 God-ranked experts, and possessions of Gods.
Meanwhile, the Divine Might that covered the room right now was so terrifyingly powerful that he felt as if a true Tier 6 God was standing before him.
Such frightening Divine Might simply wasnât something Tier 3 players could resist. The only thing they could do in this situation was to submit. Even Hidden Soul, someone who had assassinated Tier 6 God-ranked experts before, was no exception.
Yet, despite being enveloped by this same Divine Might, Shi Feng remained seated on the sofa nonchalantly, his behavior making it seem as if the Divine Might in the room did not exist at allâŠ
âOh, right, I forgot that the Divine Might in this room hasnât fully dissipated yet.â Shi Feng was a little surprised when he saw the two people collapsed on the ground before him. Then, he quickly snapped out of his daze and apologized, âSorry. I was handling something just now. I think itâll be a while longer before this Divine Might disappears completely.â
It was indeed tough for players to resist Divine Might before reaching Tier 5 or higher. Not to mention, the Divine Might the Mana Protection Crystals radiated belonged to that of Ancient Gods.
It was also because of this reason that unless one could resist an Ancient Godâs Divine Might, one couldnât even extract the Ancient Godâs Blood stored inside Mana Protection Crystals.
Meanwhile, there existed mental techniques for players in Godâs Domain to resist things such as Divine Might. Only, such mental techniques werenât commonly seen in Godâs Domain. However, once this Godâs Domain gained access to the Greater Godâs Domain, learning such mental techniques would become a basic requirement.
He was handling something?
Galaxy Past suddenly felt his mind freezing. He couldnât even begin to imagine what item Shi Feng was handling to fill this room with such frightening Divine Might.
However, after some time had passed, the Divine Might in the room had gradually disappeared, just like Shi Feng said it would. Meanwhile, Hidden Soul had also stood up, her eyes filled with fighting spirit and wariness as she looked at Shi Feng.
âHidden Soul, stop messing around!â Galaxy Past, who was still stuck on the ground, shouted hurriedly when he noticed Hidden Soulâs expression.
âHidden Soul? Sin of Pride?â
Shi Feng was a little surprised when he looked at the woman standing before him.
He was well acquainted with Hidden Soul during his previous life. He had even teamed up with the other party for an expedition before.
However, it was precisely because of his familiarity with Hidden Soul that he found it hard to believe that the cloaked woman before him was the same Hidden Soul he knew of.
Although Hidden Soulâs impressive body remained the same, the aura she currently radiated felt completely different.
During his previous life, the Hidden Soul he knew of was an outstanding woman with individual strength so strong that she could fight Divine Heart Carbet, one of Demonâs Gateâs Nine Great Experts, to a standstill. Yet, now, the current Hidden Soul felt like a crazed, hungry wolf, her body radiating a cold and violent aura.
âThatâs right! Iâm the former Sin of Pride, Hidden Soul!â Hidden Soul did not refute Shi Fengâs words. However, when she mentioned the words âSin of Pride,â a hint of bitterness briefly appeared on her face. Then, she quickly reverted to her normal state, a hint of fear subconsciously appearing in her eyes. âI was skeptical when Galaxy Past told me you were powerful before. After all, resisting a Dragonâs attack only proves that your attacks are strong. It is an entirely different matter for combat standards.â
Unlike Galaxy Past, who had only come across Divine Might radiated by items belonging to Gods, she had fought actual Tier 6 Gods before. So, she knew what a Tier 6 Godâs Divine Might felt like. Hence, she knew that the Divine Might she just experienced didnât come from a Tier 6 God, but a much more ancient and powerful being instead.
Faced with such a powerful Divine Might, even a Half-step Tier 6 God-ranked expert like herself was rendered powerless. Yet, Shi Feng had behaved nonchalantly while subjected to this same Divine Might. If she hadnât personally witnessed this scene for herself, she wouldnât have believed it.
âNow that youâve seen me in person, what do you think of my combat standard?â Shi Feng asked with a smile.
âYou are very strong!â Hidden Soul readily admitted. âAt the very least, your combat standard ranks within the top ten of the people I know.â
âTop ten?â Shi Feng wasnât particularly surprised by Hidden Soulâs appraisal. Then, he asked, âSo, may I know the purpose of your visit?â
âTo join Zero Wing. Honestly, Iâve been on the fence on this matter originally, which is why I decided to come here in person to see if Zero Wing can help me. But after seeing you, I think the likelihood of that happening is low,â Hidden Soul bluntly stated. âIâve seen several experts of your caliber in other Godâs Domains, but none of the powers backing them can help me reach Tier 6.â
The strength of an expert could reflect the foundation of the power they belonged to. This was also why she wanted to test Shi Feng by launching a sneak attack on him.
However, while Shi Feng had displayed extraordinary Concentration standard and willpower, his combat standard wasnât any better than the monsters she had come across. At most, he was on par with them.
âSo, does this mean you donât plan on joining Zero Wing?â Shi Feng asked as he looked at Hidden Soul.
âThatâs right.â Hidden Soul nodded.
Upon hearing Hidden Soulâs response, Galaxy Past, still stuck lying on the floor, immediately grew nervous. If Hidden Soul refused to join Zero Wing, itâd be tough for him to find another Domain Realm expert. After all, he couldnât randomly invite any Domain Realm expert he knew since he needed to take the Star Allianceâs benefit into account. In Hidden Soulâs case, she could already be considered an independent player. Even if she joined Zero Wing, it wouldnât disadvantage the Star Alliance in any way.
However, just when Hidden Soul was about to leave, Shi Feng suddenly smiled and said, âIf you were to ask for anything else in this Godâs Domain, Zero Wing might have trouble fulfilling your request. However, if your request is only to reach Tier 6, Zero Wing can help you with that.â
âIs what you say true?â Hidden Soul couldnât help but turn to Shi Feng, her eyes burning with passion.
Honestly, she was already in despair over trying to reach Tier 6. Otherwise, she wouldnât have come to the Miniature Ancient World seeking an opportunity.
âOf course.â While scrutinizing Hidden Soulâs expression, Shi Feng said, âThere are two main conditions players need to fulfill if they wish to reach Tier 6. The first condition is to have sufficient control and understanding over Mana. The second condition is to have Concentration at the Tier 6 standard. You have clearly fulfilled the first condition already, so the reason why youâve failed to reach Tier 6 thus far is because of your lacking Concentration.
âMeanwhile, the reason why your Concentration has failed to reach the Tier 6 standard is also simple. A strong body requires a strong mind. Likewise, a strong mind requires a strong body. I can see that your Mana Body is at the Peak Gold standard, and its Completion Rate is also very high. Normally, you shouldâve long since reached Tier 6. Yet, the fact that you havenât reached it shows that your mental state is incredibly unstable, so you need an even stronger body to compensate for it.â
âWhat you say is true. It is also the reason why I came to the Miniature Ancient World.â Hidden Soul was not at all fazed by Shi Fengâs words. After all, these were all things she had long since known about. âIâve already tried challenging the Colosseum, but my limit is the Peak Gold standard. My Completion Rate is also at 100%. I canât make any further progress unless I can obtain a God Legacy. However, the rarity of God Legacies goes without saying. Even if someone manages to obtain one, there is no way they will sell it to me. Does Zero Wing have God Legacies available?â
âGod Legacies?â Hearing Hidden Soulâs question, Shi Feng thought of a few God Legacies that should be undiscovered yet as of now. Then, he shook his head and said, âWe do have a few, but as youâve said, they are incredibly valuable. They are not things an outer member should think of obtaining.â
Zero Wing has God Legacies?
Galaxy Past couldnât help but lift his head and look at Shi Feng upon hearing Shi Fengâs words. If Zero Wing had God Legacies available for exchange, then Zero Wingâs strength was far more frightening than he initially thought.
âTheyâre available for exchange?â
At this moment, even Hidden Soul was a little stunned. She could tell that Shi Feng wasnât boasting or lying through his tone and facial expression. In that case, how strong must a Guild be to have the leeway to offer God Legacies for exchange?
âYou shouldnât go thinking about those things right now,â Shi Feng said, chuckling when he noticed Hidden Soulâs fiery gaze. âIâve already said that theyâre not things an outer member can obtain. You can only use other methods if you wish to reach Tier 6.â
âOther methods?â Hidden Soul grew curious.
âThatâs right. While a God Legacy is indeed your best option, it isnât irreplaceable,â Shi Feng said, smiling. Then, he took out a strand of Ancient Godâs Blood from his bag and said, âAncient Godâs Blood, an item that can push your Mana Body to the next level!â
