As Shi Feng consumed the Dark Iron Bloodline, the mana on and around the platform began to gather around his body .
Suddenly, two threefold magic arrays appeared above and below him . It looked as if the magic arrays had formed a barrier, enveloping Shi Feng . The surrounding Mana then poured into the threefold array above Shi Feng, and golden, divine runes began to surround his body .
As more divine runes appeared around Shi Feng, his aura intensified .
When the divine runes covered Shi Feng entirely, a pillar of golden light emerged from Shi Feng's body and shot into the sky . The golden pillar radiated an aura that was even stronger than the Shrine Knight's .
A few seconds later, the light pillar began to dissipate and calm returned to the platform .
Once the platform returned to its original state, Shi Feng slowly opened his eyes .
His previously pitch-black pupils now contained a trace of silver . Meanwhile, his aura, which he usually suppressed, overflowed . If an ordinary player saw him now, they'd assume that Shi Feng was an NPC, not a player . Not only did he radiate a domineering aura, but his gaze also carried an indescribable cold . It felt as if Shi Feng could remain calm and rational, regardless of his situation .
So, this is the power of the Dark Iron Bloodline?
Shi Feng was shocked as he tried to process the changes to his body .
There was no doubt that he was extremely excited, but before this feeling could reach its peak, a wave of serenity assaulted his mind, giving him instant peace .
Even his perception of his environment had changed .
He had previously needed to allocate the majority of his mental power to monitor his surroundings if he wanted to grasp movement around him accurately . However, despite investing only a small fraction of his attention, he could now gain an acute understanding of his environment…
This improvement had exceeded Shi Feng's expectations .
Every expert capable of reaching the Void Realm in God's Domain was capable of holding a high rank in a Super Guild . Experts that had just reached the Void Realm still had to focus on observing their environment . Even veteran Void Realm experts had to allocate a considerable amount of their mental fortitude to do so .
Yet, now, Shi Feng did not even need to allocate half of his attention to achieve the same result . The boost from the Dark Iron Bloodline was truly terrifying .
There was a limit to a person's mental power in both the real world and in God's Domain . Not everyone could multitask . Experts, however, had this skill .
Of course, they were limited to simple tasks when dividing their attention . If an expert encountered a complex problem, they would struggle to multitask . Needless to say, observing every movement in one's surroundings was a complex task . If a Void Realm expert only needed half of their focus to observe their surroundings and could allocate the other half to physical movement, their combat power would soar .
Aside from the boost to his mental capacity, consuming the Dark Iron Bloodline had improved Shi Feng's Basic Attributes . His Strength had risen by 10%, Agility by 7%, Endurance, Vitality, and Intelligence by 5% . Although these were minor improvements, his total Basic Attributes would increase exponentially as he reached higher levels and tiers .
Following which, Shi Feng executed a few slashes at the empty air .
As he did, his swords drew soundless, beautiful arcs of light before him .
Sure enough, not only had the Bloodline improved my Basic Attributes, but it's also improved my reaction speed! Before this, my reaction time had peaked at 0 . 1 seconds . Now, I should peak at 0 . 08 seconds . Bloodlines truly are amazing . It's no wonder why the various superpowers were so desperate for Bloodlines in the past . Shi Feng could not help his rueful sigh as he watched the lingering afterimages of his blade .
Although it was only a 0 . 02-second improvement to his reaction time, to most expert players, it was like the difference between heaven and earth . Normally, only incredibly talented experts could cross the 0 . 1-second limit .
He had only been able to react, at most, ten times in one second in the past, but he could now react 12 times . Assuming that his physical limit wasn't a factor and his opponents only had a peak reaction time of 0 . 1 seconds, the two extra reactions would allow him to outmaneuver his opponents, utterly overwhelming them .
Had he obtained a Basic Bloodline in his previous life, he could have easily succeeded with his Tier 4 promotion, even if his early development had been lacking . Unfortunately, Bloodlines were even rarer than Fragmented Legendary items in God's Domain .
Following which, Shi Feng spent the next ten minutes or so getting used to the new changes .
By the time he was satisfied, he was more than eager to resume his battle with the Shrine Knight .
As soon as Shi Feng reentered the platform's central ring, the Shrine Knight awakened and charged at him with his greatsword raised .
"Come! Let me test the Dark Iron Bloodline's strength!" Shi Feng could not help but grin as the Shrine Knight ran towards him . He immediately advanced to meet the NPC in battle .
This time, however, Shi Feng did not execute Sword's Orbit to deflect the Shrine Knight's frenzied assault . Instead, he defended himself with normal swings of his blades .
As the swords clashed, sparks and clangs filled the platform once more .
Although Shi Feng couldn't execute his attacks instinctively as the Shrine Knight did, he could make up for the missing attacks by relying on his superior reaction speed .
As Shi Feng exchanged blows with the Shrine Knight, he gradually became comfortable with his defense . After three minutes of battle, he had gone from a passive position to fighting the Shrine Knight on equal footing .
Moreover, he had a lot more energy to spare than he had during the previous encounter as he executed Void Steps to dodge a portion of the Shrine Knight's attacks . The Shrine Knight, who had worn an indifferent expression thus far, now revealed his astonishment .
It seems that this is my current limit . Although I still have energy to spare, I haven't mastered enough combat techniques . I still can't exhibit the Bloodline's full power . I'll have to find an opportunity to learn more techniques later . After fighting the Shrine Knight for some time, Shi Feng fully understood what he still needed .
Now that he had reviewed his strengths and weaknesses, he adjusted his swings and began to execute Sword's Orbit .
Every attack with Sword's Orbit was nearly instinctive . As a result, the speed of Shi Feng's slashes had reached its limit .
Suddenly, a cut split the skin on the Shrine Knight's shoulder . The NPC's HP fell by roughly 3,000 .
After the first cut, it didn't take long for the second, third, and fourth to appear as well .
As more cuts split the Shrine Knight's skin, his HP plummeted . Before ten minutes had passed, the NPC's 1,000,000 HP had fallen to zero . The NPC then collapsed, turned to stone, and shattered . In the blink of an eye, Shi Feng was alone on the platform .
Once the Shrine Knight was gone, Shi Feng moved forward to collect his reward . Fortunately, the damaged item turned out to be a God Crystal .
However, when Shi Feng plucked the God Crystal from its crystalline prison, he noticed that the God Crystal radiated far more Divine Might than any he had obtained before .
"An Advanced God Crystal?" When Shi Feng inspected the item, he realized why the trial had been so challenging .
The Power of God in an Advanced God Crystal was far denser than in ordinary God Crystals . One Advanced God Crystal was the equivalent of two ordinary God Crystals, and naturally, it wasn't any less valuable than a piece of ordinary Epic Equipment .
Now, he only needed one more God Crystal to remove the mysterious power suppressing the Disintegration Armor .
…
System: Congratulations! You have completed the Shrine's trial . You now have two options . One: exit the Shrine . Two: challenge another trial at the cost of 1,000 minutes .
…
Shi Feng chose option two without hesitation when he saw the system notification . After all, he needed another God Crystal .
This time, however, the trial was much less difficult . This Shrine Knight had only reached the Flowing Water Realm, and as a result, he defeated the NPC very easily .
After Shi Feng secured his third God Crystal from the Epic Shrine, he received a notification that he had reached his challenge limit for Epic Shrines and was teleported out of the shrine without having any say in the matter…
