Chapter 386 - Tier 1 Skill

After receiving Shi Feng’s confirmation, Blackie gave his report regarding Zero Wing’s recent recruitment .

Despite their plans, Overwhelming Smile’s appearance did not negatively affect Zero Wing’s recruitment . Instead, Overwhelming Smile had made Zero Wing even more popular than before, driving more players to apply to Zero Wing . Some players from other Guilds even withdrew from their respective Guilds to join Zero Wing .

As a result, the entrance of Zero Wing’s Guild Residence was crowded with a sea of players .

Those who did not fully understand the situation even thought that Zero Wing had already become White River City’s overlord . Though, those who knew the situation silently ridiculed the players rushing to join Zero Wing .

After two days of chaotic recruitment, Zero Wing had grown from around 5,000 members to having over 10,000 . If not for Overwhelming Smile’s interruption, Zero Wing would have no problems surpassing the 30,000 member threshold .

Unfortunately, many of the players who had been accepted into Zero Wing then defected to Overwhelming Smile almost immediately . By doing so, they could enjoy triple the benefits of the ordinary members of Overwhelming Smile, which was 12 times the treatment normally offered by other Guilds . How could anyone resist such a tempting offer?

Zero Wing will only suffer if this continues . I need to think of a plan quickly . Shi Feng frowned as he listened to Blackie’s report .

If the situation continued to evolve like this, Overwhelming Smile would have to waste astronomical sums of money . However, Overwhelming Smile’s poaching of Zero Wing’s members would also increase its prestige, increasing the Guild’s strength in White River City .

Others might not know that Overwhelming Smile had Underworld support from the shadows, but Shi Feng knew . In addition to Maple City, Underworld had also taken control of four more cities surrounding White River City . If Zero Wing and Overwhelming Smile went to war in the future, Zero Wing would be surrounded by enemies .

After Blackie finished his report, he hurried back to Zero Wing’s Workshop, whereas Shi Feng started working out .

Now that Shi Feng’s body had finished absorbing the S-rank Nutrient Fluids, it was the perfect time to improve his physical fitness further .

However, instead of focusing on strength training like before, Shi Feng now focused more on control over his own body . When noon arrived, Shi Feng called for a take-out . After finishing his meal, he dove back into the world of God’s Domain .

Shi Feng had not come up with any good ideas to counter Overwhelming Smile’s suppression through wealth . The only thing he could think of right now was increasing his strength .

After logging into the game, Shi Feng continued his hunting operation .

Through his previous two-day search, Shi Feng had grasped the general respawn time for the monsters surrounding the Sword Peak Mountain . As for the location with the highest spawn rate, that would be on the Sword Peak Mountain itself .

However, Shi Feng had not climbed the mountain throughout this period . He doubted that the Legacy Trial of one of the Ten Great Saint Legacies would be so easy to clear . Although the Skeleton Giants and Blade Demons were indeed challenging, a Legacy Trial that was supposed to be as difficult as a Legendary Quest should not be so simple .

In Shi Feng’s opinion, the true danger of the Origin Sword Domain waited for him on the Sword Peak Mountain .

Hence, Shi Feng had yet to set foot on the mountain . Instead, he had searched for monsters around the foot of the mountain all this time, silently increasing his strength .

In the Origin Sword Domain, Shi Feng did not obtain any EXP from the monsters he killed . The drops he obtained were also limited to the Legacy Chapters and Broken Steel Forging Design Fragments . However, there was one other immediate benefit to killing these monsters .

Skill Proficiency!

The monsters here were all Elites above Level 25 . Shi Feng’s main targets, the Skeleton Giants and Blade Demons, were even Level 30 Chieftains . These Chieftains exceeded Shi Feng by 8 Levels . Whenever Shi Feng used a skill on these two monsters, he would receive bonus Skill Proficiency points, receiving around five or six with each use .

In the outside world, there was a limit to high-leveled Chieftains available for players to kill . Hence, Shi Feng was able to raise his skill levels quickly here . In the Origin Sword Domain, Shi Feng had upgraded the skills that he normally needed a lot of time to upgrade in just two days . At this point, all of his attack-type skills had risen to Level 10 or above, with some reaching Level 11 .

When he upgraded a skill beyond Level 12, it would become a Tier 1 skill .

Although players had weapons and equipment that could increase their skill levels, that particular increase would not allow a skill to undergo a qualitative change; only the skill’s level would change . For a skill to reach Tier 1, players needed to raise the skill past Level 12 personally .

Meanwhile, as long as Shi Feng could grasp a Tier 1 skill, his combat power would explode . This was why Shi Feng diligently killed the monsters outside the Sword Peak Mountain .

With this goal in mind, Shi Feng continuously searched for monsters and used his skills repeatedly, allowing his Skill Proficiency to soar .

However, as Shi Feng killed more monsters, he discovered something odd .

The drop rate of Legacy Chapters and Design Fragments plummeted .

In the beginning, Shi Feng could claim a drop in every four or five kills . Now, he would only get a single drop after killing over a dozen Chieftains . The more Legacy Chapters and Design Fragments Shi Feng obtained, the harder it became to collect them .

If Shi Feng did not increase his killing speed, it would be impossible for him to gather the required items within five days .

On the bright side, where players in the outside world normally needed over a week of effort, Shi Feng only needed a few hours to upgrade a skill from Level 11 to Level 12 . His efficiency was staggering . After just half a day’s worth of effort in God’s Domain, Shi Feng had already promoted Chop to a Tier 1 skill .

[Chop] (Action-type)

Requires: Sword

Tier 1, Level 1 (Proficiency 0/30,000)

Additional 600 base damage . Deals up to three consecutive hits in one second . If attacks land in the same location, damage increases by 50% .

Attack range: 6 yards

Cooldown: 3 seconds

Compared to the Tier 0, Level 12 Chop, the base damage had not increased much . However, when using the Tier 1, Level 1 Chop, Shi Feng could swing his sword three times in one second . Moreover, if his attacks struck the same location, his damage would increase by 50% .

Not only did Tier 1 skills increase a player’s power, but they also increased a player’s freedom of attack .

In other words, the more skilled a player was, the more damage they could deal .

This was why, despite being the same Level, Tier 1 players were far more powerful than Tier 0 players . Tier 1 players also possessed much higher Attributes and a larger variety of skills . Tier 0 players had no chance of contending with Tier 1 players of the same level .

“It’s been awhile since I’ve used the Tier 1 Chop . Let’s use you as a warm-up . ”

Shi Feng dashed towards the Skeleton Giant’s side before him and used the Tier 1 Chop . A sharp aura covered the Abyssal Blade . In the blink of an eye, Shi Feng brandished the weapon three times, sending three sword auras slashing at the Skeleton Giant .

The three sword auras combined, forming an even sharper and more powerful sword aura that slashed at the Skeleton Giant’s joint .

-1,376, -2,048, -2,062 .

Aside from these three high damages, the Skeleton Giant, which had remained unperturbed by Shi Feng’s attacks, had suddenly fallen to the ground . The power of the Tier 1 skill was clear .

After the Skeleton Giant fell, Shi Feng had a much easier time attacking it .

Following which, Shi Feng used one skill after another on the undead creature .

If the Skeleton Giant stood up, Shi Feng would use Chop to attack its joints, knocking it to the ground once more .

A short moment later, Shi Feng had slaughtered the Skeleton Giant effortlessly .

Due to the Tier 1 Chop, Shi Feng’s battles between the Skeleton Giants and Blade Demons had become much easier and took less time than before . Moreover, as Shi Feng efficiency grew, he used his skill more frequently .

After spending another two days, Shi Feng finally upgraded Thunder Flame Explosion to Tier 1 as well .

Now, Shi Feng’s attack-type skills that required Skill Proficiency were all Tier 1 skills . Compared to when Shi Feng had just entered the Origin Sword Domain, his combat power was far more frightening .
