"A wager?" Without hesitation, Lifeless Thorn smiled and said, "Of course, that won't be a problem. In fact, I was planning to do the same even if you hadn't mentioned it. I just don't know if you're brave enough to accept my wager."
As soon as Lifeless Thorn finished speaking, Wave Heart's members sent provocative looks at Shi Feng. Some of them even smiled sympathetically, as if they had long since seen the outcome of this battle.
At this moment, Solitary Nine seemed to have realized something. Suddenly, he whispered to Shi Feng, "Commander … you must not agree to his request. He's here for your combat technique. Previously, he challenged every expert in Cold Wind City who knew combat techniques. Moreover, he learned combat techniques from them. That's how he became so strong."
"Combat technique?" Realization dawned on Shifeng.
He had wondered why Lifeless Thorn had agreed to the wager so readily, even taking the initiative. Now, however, he understood.
He had made the wager to rope Lifeless Thorn into the Asura Adventurers. He had never thought that Lifeless Thorn had already set his sights on him.
Combat techniques were very precious on the continent of God's Domain. The various large Guilds only allowed their core members to learn them. Everyone else had to watch videos to comprehend or create their own combat techniques, not to mention in the Ice Crystal World's Cold Wind City.
Shifeng finally understood why Lifeless Thorn had risen so quickly on the continent of God's Domain. In the end, he had only been half a step away from reaching Tier 6.
"You're the one who proposed the wager. Why are you afraid now?" Lifeless Thorn sneered as he glanced at Shifeng.
"Since I'm the one who proposed it, there's nothing to be afraid of as long as it's within my means," Shifeng said, chuckling.
Any player that became a core member of Ling Yi could learn combat techniques. In reality, even if Lifeless Thorn hadn't agreed to the wager, as long as he joined the Asura Adventurers, he could've used his Contribution Points to purchase combat techniques.
"Okay!" Hearing Shifeng's agreement, Lifeless Thorn hurriedly said, "My proposal is simple. If I win, you'll teach me the special footwork you used before. If you win, you can ask for anything you want."
During the battle between the Shifeng and Matchless Family, ordinary players had merely watched for fun. However, Shi Feng had clearly seen that the Shifeng hadn't used a Skill to vanish. Instead, the Shifeng had used a special footwork technique to vanish before his eyes.
Such powerful footwork was simply unheard of. Compared to the combat skills he had learned before, those combat skills were simply trash.
Although the Asura adventurer team had announced that players could exchange for a combat technique upon joining the adventurer team, as someone who had learned combat techniques before, Shi Feng knew that there were different grades of combat techniques. Hence, it was simply impossible for the adventurer team's members to exchange for such a powerful footwork technique.
"This Lifeless Thorn is really greedy. He wants to learn Big Brother Ye Feng's unique combat technique. How shameless!" Yan Ya gave Lifeless Thorn a disdainful look, while Solitary Nine and the others nodded in agreement.
They, more or less, knew a thing or two about combat techniques. For example, attack-type combat techniques were the most common, while defensive-type combat techniques were the rarest. Footwork and movement techniques were combat techniques that could greatly increase a player's mobility. If they learned these combat techniques, their combat power would reach a whole new level.
Shi Feng was indeed shameless to demand such a combat technique.
"Is that all you want?" Shifeng asked Lifeless Thorn.
"Mhm, that's all I want. Are you up for the bet?" Lifeless Thorn nodded curiously at Shifeng's indifferent expression.
"I have no problem with that. As for my request, it's very simple. If I win, you'll join the Asura Adventurers," Shifeng said, chuckling.
"Alright, as long as you can beat me," Lifeless Thorn agreed without hesitation. He then continued, "However, to ensure fairness, we'll have to use Neutral Combat Mode for our duel."
An uproar erupted among the crowd when they heard Shi Feng's request.
"Lifeless Thorn, you're too shameless! Not only are you asking for combat techniques, but you're also Cold Wind City's number one expert! What kind of duel is this? "Solitary Nine could not help but curse.
In Neutral Combat Mode, not only would players have the same Basic Attributes, but there would also be no level or tier suppression. Normally, players would only use Normal Combat Mode in a duel of pure combat techniques. After all, weapons, equipment, and levels were a reflection of a player's strength. Moreover, Neutral Combat Mode wasn't available in normal field battles.
"Although I enjoy dueling, I'm not interested in being crushed," Lifeless Thorn said righteously.
After watching Shifeng's battle videos, Lifeless Thorn knew just how powerful Shifeng's Basic Attributes were. Although he was proud of his strength, he wasn't arrogant.
"Alright, we'll use Neutral Combat Mode, then." Shifeng didn't find the request strange. If he hadn't noticed the difference in Basic Attributes in his previous battle videos, he wouldn't have needed to recruit Lifeless Thorn into the Asura Adventurers.
"Alright, let's sign the contract, then." Seeing that Shifeng had agreed, Lifeless Thorn hurriedly retrieved the contract he had prepared beforehand. He even left the Shifeng's part of the contract unfilled.
After Shifeng confirmed that there were no problems with the contract, he signed it. With the Main God System's restrictions, no one in God's Domain could go back on their word.
Following which, Lifeless Thorn led Shifeng to one of the Divine Colosseum's combat rooms to compete.
The combat room, which could accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, was currently filled with spectators. The battle was also being broadcasted on the Divine Colosseum's large screen. Any player in Cold Wind City who had nothing to do had rushed here to watch.
This battle would determine Cold Wind City's number one expert. It was definitely the competition with the highest combat standards in Cold Wind City. Naturally, no one wanted to miss it.
"Commander Asura sure is arrogant. He actually dares to challenge Lifeless in Neutral Combat. He's going to make a fool of himself." Cleansing Whistle smiled faintly as she watched Shifeng on the stage.
"That's right! Big Brother Lifeless's Split Spear is no joke. Even Shadowless, the second-ranked player, couldn't dodge it after activating his Berserk Skill. Now that Big Brother Lifeless has obtained the Thunder Spear, his Split Spear's standard has improved by a large margin. He can probably kill Shadowless instantly now, "a Level 45 Shield Warrior said, nodding.
While Wave Heart's members chatted and laughed, the timer above the stage began to count down.
Meanwhile, Lifeless Thorn seemed to have transformed into a completely different person. He radiated a heart-palpitating murderous aura, no longer looking at his opponents like a human. Instead, he looked more like a beast eyeing its prey. Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the arena grew increasingly tense, and the spectators found it difficult to breathe.
When the countdown ended, Lifeless Thorn activated Twofold Berserk without hesitation, his aura skyrocketing. It was as if he had become two people.
Lifeless Thorn didn't dare to be careless against Shifeng.
If he hadn't obtained the Lightning Saint's Legacy, he would've hesitated to challenge a Shifeng. After all, Shifeng's combat standards were clearly higher than his. Trying to challenge him in Neutral Combat would be suicidal.
However, a Peak Legacy's Legacy Berserk Skill could double his Basic Attributes. With such a massive difference in Basic Attributes, even a higher combat standard couldn't make up for it.
