Chapter 201
Chapter 201 - Scripture's Might
Hearing Ling Feilong attempt to fawn over him and his respectful attitude while doing so, Shi Feng couldn’t help but sigh .
The shoe was on the other foot now!
Fate truly knew how to toy with people .
Judging from Ling Feilong’s tone, Shi Feng could discern that Ling Feilong intended to ride on his coattails .
“If you wish to recruit me, tell me what sort of benefits you plan to offer first,” Shi Feng calmly asked .
“Brother expert, I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied . As long as you join Shadow, you’ll immediately become an elder of the Guild . Moreover, our Guild has a large backing behind us, and we have plenty of funding, so we can temporarily set your annual salary at one million Credits . In addition, we’ll give you 10% of Shadow’s shares . I think you should know the value of Guild shares, right? As long as Shadow rises to glory in the future, this 10% will far exceed tens of millions of Credits . No other Guild can offer you this kind of treatment,” Ling Feilong explained, very satisfied with himself . His words even moved his own heart .
That was 10% of the Guild’s shares!
Right now, all of the Guilds out there only offered high annual salaries when recruiting an expert; none of them would willingly hand over a portion of the Guild’s shares . Along with a Guild’s growth, the value of its shares would continuously rise . In addition to God’s Domain’s growth potential, if Shadow properly developed as time went on, this 10% could represent billions of Credits or more . Hence, all the large Guilds would not simply offer their shares, and instead, choose the wise decision of offering a static salary .
“Who’s making this promise?” Shi Feng was slightly bewildered . He did not think that Shadow would be so decisive in their actions .
In Shi Feng’s previous life, although he was the Guild Leader of Shadow, he did not possess any shares of the Guild . However, Shi Feng had only recently become the Guild Leader at that time, so he did put too much thought into the matter . In the end, the Guild kicked him out . One could say that the shares of a Guild were the true proof of one’s authority . If Shi Feng had 10% of the Guild’s shares at that time, Lan Hailong would not have dared to casually expel him from the Guild and sever all connections with him .
“Our Guild Leader made this promise . Of course, with your strength, the position of Guild Leader will doubtlessly be yours in the future,” Ling Feilong unwaveringly started flattering Shi Feng .
“Oh? Very well,” Shi Feng calmly laughed . He then, with a tone as cold as ice, arrogantly said, “Return and tell your Guild Leader this; if you want me to join Shadow, then I want 60% of the Guild’s shares and the position of Guild Leader . Otherwise, there’s no deal . ”
Finished speaking, Shi Feng disconnected the call .
Of course, he only said those words as a joke to toy with Ling Feilong . Even if Shadow were willing to hand over 100% of its shares, Shi Feng would still reject the offer without hesitation . He swore that would never again wear the hateful name of Shadow .
He simply said those words because he knew that Ling Feilong, Zhang Luowei, and Lan Hailong could never truly agree to such a request . After all, with 60% of the Guild’s shares, Shi Feng would become the head honcho of Shadow; his word would be final . Whether it was Zhang Luowei or Lan Hailong, neither could endure being a subordinate of someone else .
“Such a domineering tone! No wonder he could force Martial Union, who is even stronger than Shadow, to take a huge loss . Unfortunately, he isn’t a broad-minded person . If he had accepted the offer, based on the strength he possessed, he could have easily become the Shadow’s true boss in the future if he wanted to . ” Although Ling Feilong admired Shi Feng, he sneered disdainfully as he determined Shi Feng to be a boorish fellow . Yet, without a backer to rely on, it was impossible for Ling Feilong to climb further up the ranks of Shadow . Zhang Luowei trusted Zhou Yuhu much more than Ling Feilong . Ling Feilong was simply an elite member of the Guild in Zhang Luowei’s eyes . So, it was imperative that Ling Feilong looked for a reliable backer . Meanwhile, a boor like Shi Feng couldn’t be a better backer . Although 60% of the total shares seemed a little high, if Ling Feilong expended a lot of effort, it was not an impossible number to accomplish . “It seems that I’ll have to rearrange his words before reporting back to Brother Zhang and Brother Lan . ”
At this moment, Shi Feng would have never imagined that his casual remark meant to anger Lan Hailong and Zhang Luowei would become Ling Feilong’s new goal .

Inside the Flame God’s Cave, Shi Feng took out one of the Flaming Sun Scriptures from his bag . He then opened the book, reading the incantations inside .
All of a sudden, the Flaming Sun Scripture ignited, emitting dazzling golden flames . As if the fire-type mana within the Flame God’s Cave had transformed into soldiers, it all charged towards the golden flame, submitting to it . The golden flame was like an emperor among flames .
In reality, it wasn’t just the fire-type mana that was affected . Even Shi Feng’s Ice-Blue Devil Flame felt restless, giving off the notion of submission .
Just what kind of flame is it? Shi Feng looked at the bundle of golden flame; his heart filled with curiosity . To cause even the Tier 2 Ice-Blue Devil Flame to submit, if this flame had a rank, I wonder what tier it belonged to? It should be at least Tier 3, possibly Tier 4 . If Shi Feng could absorb this bundle of golden flame, his strength might rise to a whole new level .
Unfortunately, this flame was not a Mysterious Flame, so Shi Feng had no way of absorbing it .
After a minute passed, the golden flame sank into Shi Feng’s body after it absorbed a sufficient amount of fire-type mana . Instantly, a new status effect appeared on Shi Feng’s status bar .
[Flaming Sun’s Blessing]
Increases Fire Resistance by 100 points and reduces damage from fire-type attacks by 90% . All fire-type damage received has a 20% chance to recover an equivalent amount of HP . Damage dealt towards fire-type monsters increased by 100% . Duration of two hours .
Effective only within the Flame God’s Cave .
In reality, the Flaming Sun Scripture’s original purpose was simply for the convenience of players when grinding in a hot environment . However, when used inside the Flame God’s Cave, where the density of fire-type mana was extremely high, its effects increased by manyfold . Hence why the Ranger in Shi Feng’s previous life was able to solo the Elite monsters and Chieftain ranked Bosses here .
To begin with, Shi Feng already had 20 points of Fire Resistance . Now that he gained an additional 100 points, normal fire attacks would only be an itch to him . Not to mention, there was also the 90% damage reduction to fire-type attacks . This increase was just too awesome .
With the Flaming Sun’s Blessing, Shi Feng boldly advanced deeper into the Flame God’s Cave .
There were multiple pathways in the Flame God’s Cave, and it was extremely spacious . Players could easily get lost in the cave . This, however, was not a problem for Shi Feng . The Flame God’s Cave was like his own backyard, and very quickly, he located a lone Level 25 Lava Hound lying on solidified, blackened lava .
[Lava Hound] (Common Monster)
Level 25
HP 5,400/5,400
The Lava Hound was several sizes larger compared to a normal lion . Its entire body emitted red flames; its skin was a dark yellow, and it had a pair of large, crimson eyes . Detecting Shi Feng’s presence, the Lava Hound abruptly stood; its blood-red eyes glared at Shi Feng as it let out a low, angry growl . The Lava Hound’s sharp claws easily shattered a chunk of charred rock .
Just as Shi Feng unsheathed the Abyssal Blade and Silver Lake, the Lava Hound spat a mouthful of flames at Shi Feng .
Without holding anything back, Shi Feng activated the Ice-Blue Devil Flame, covering his entire body with a deep-blue flame . He then charged at the ball of flames head-on .
The Lava Hound’s attack could originally devour close to half of the HP of an MT of the same level . However, when struck Shi Feng, the attack merely caused around -10 points of damage . The damage the Lava Hound’s attack dealt was even less than the attacks of a Level 10 Common monster .
As expected, with 120 points of Fire Resistance, my resistance has reached extraordinary levels . Finished experimenting with his durability, Shi Feng arrived in front of the Lava Hound and sent a Chop slashing at its nape, drawing a pool of piping-hot blood . A damage of -345 points appeared above the Lava Hound’s head . The damage was barely within Shi Feng’s acceptable range .
Moreover, due to the Lava Hound being 11 Levels higher than himself, Shi Feng’s Skill Proficiency also soared with lightning speed . Every usage netted him 3 Proficiency points .
Although the Lava Hound was powerful, Shi Feng only needed to take note of its AOE skills like the Flame Breath and Flame Explosion . Without the threat of these powerful skills, Shi Feng only needed to deal with the Lava Hound’s sharp claws . With Shi Feng’s extraordinary evasive techniques, in addition to his very high Agility, he could easily dodge the attacks from the Lava Hound’s sharp claws .
Before even a minute had passed, Shi Feng had killed the Level 25 Lava Hound, the monster leaving behind a Flame Crystal and several Copper Coins after it died .
System: Level 25 Lava Hound killed . Level difference of 11 . EXP obtained increased by 1,100% . Obtained 16,500 EXP .
