"Although one day isn't a short time, it's much more difficult to defeat Tier 2 Giant NPCs of the same level." Shifeng observed the ten Giant Gladiators in the arena. "I'm afraid even Half-step Refinement Realm experts won't be able to pass this trial without a full set of Dark-Gold Equipment of the same level."
NPCs weren't monsters. Not only did they possess many Skills and Spells, but their combat standards were also higher than monsters of the same level.
Moreover, even NPCs of the same tier had differences in their strength.
That was the difference between NPCs' weapons and equipment. After all, a full set of Bronze Equipment and a full set of Dark-Gold Equipment had a massive difference in Attributes.
Among the ten Giant NPCs, the weakest was fully geared in Bronze Equipment, while the strongest was geared in Fine-Gold Equipment. Including the Giant race's innate talent, even a player geared in Dark-Gold Equipment would be inferior to a Giant's in Basic Attributes. The only thing they could do was rely on their techniques.
While inside the Tower of Four Gods, external items couldn't be used. Even Berserk Skills couldn't be used. Players had to rely on their own strength to survive.
It felt as if the first two trials were meant to train players, while the third trial was meant to test them.
Shifeng didn't give the matter too much thought as he stepped onto the arena.
After six days of training, he had already reached a bottleneck. Currently, he could only execute 14 Secret Techniques, Lightning Flash, and his Concentration consumption had decreased by a quarter. He wouldn't be able to improve his Concentration any further in a short time. Naturally, he didn't need to waste an entire day. He might as well clear the first floor's trial and proceed to the second floor as soon as possible.
As Shifeng stepped onto the arena, one of the Giant NPCs approached the center of the arena and swung its greataxe at Xiang Shifeng without hesitation.
As Shi Feng swung the greataxe, the dense earth Mana around it made the weapon incomparably heavy. Even Shi Feng felt the gravitational pull from the greataxe, greatly reducing his mobility.
Not only did the greataxe's Strength rival that of a Great Lord of the same level, but the greataxe also split into three parts, making it impossible for Shi Feng to dodge.
A combat technique?!
A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Feng's eyes when he saw this move.
Combat techniques weren't unique to players. They had always existed in God's Domain. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been Legacy Tablets.
However, NPCs had a much harder time learning combat techniques than players. Normally, NPCs would only begin to learn combat techniques after reaching Tier 3. Even so, very few NPCs were capable of using combat techniques.
Yet, this Tier 2 Giant NPC could use a combat technique. Why wouldn't he be surprised?
Even a Basic Combat Technique could significantly increase an NPC's combat power. Combined with the NPC's innate talent and combat standards at the Trial Tower's early stage, the NPC before them could easily crush Half-step Refinement Realm experts.
Only, to Shi Feng, such an attack was still very weak.
Brandishing the Twilight Blade, Shi Feng easily blocked the attack. He then swung Killing Ray at the Giant NPC's body, not giving the NPC any chance to retaliate.
Shadow Blade's Shadow Blade ''t't't
Ten streaks of sword light revolved around each other like stars. They collided with each other and turned into a flash of brilliance.
System: Shadow Blade Completion Rate 101%. Skill Proficiency + 10, resulting in 170% of Skill's effect.
In the next moment, the Giant NPC was sent flying, a series of damages exceeding -200,000 appearing above its head. The Giant NPC was also temporarily paralyzed.
"What a powerful effect!" Shi Feng was astonished when he saw this scene.
In the past six days of training, compared to the improvement of Lightning Flash, the improvement of Shadow Sword was the greatest.
Previously, after continuous training, he had been able to stabilize it at 100%. He did not expect that he would suddenly break through the shackles of 100%. Shadow Blade also produced a new effect, which was a temporary paralysis effect, causing the target to be unable to move for a second.
Of course, it was extremely difficult to break through the 100% threshold with a Skill, let alone reach 101%. However, after using Shadow Blade once, he had grasped the essence of Shadow Blade. Even if he left the Tower of Four Gods, he was confident that he could reach a 100% Completion Rate.
Before the Berserker could recover from his paralysis, Shi Feng stood before the Berserker and swung Killing Ray once more.
Secret Technique, Lightning Flash!
The fourteen sword lights transformed into a net, instantly piercing through the Giant NPC and reducing its HP to a Warning value. Following which, Shi Feng followed up with Purgatory Pentaslash, taking away all of the Giant NPC's HP. The entire process took less than three seconds.
The other Giant NPCs watching from the sidelines wore grim expressions when they saw Shi Feng's performance.
"Alright, next one!" Shi Feng did not seem to mind this situation in the slightest. Instead, he looked at the Giant NPCs around him, still longing for more.
Swimming Dragon and the others would most likely have a difficult time dealing with these Giant NPCs.
However, Shi Feng's Basic Attributes were superior to Tier 3 players of the same level. His physique and reaction speed were only slightly inferior to Tier 3 players. If killing these Tier 2 Giants took too much effort, he might as well give up on living.
However, Shi Feng had to admit that the EXP he received from killing this Giant NPC was abundant, even more than that of a Great Lord of the same level. Unfortunately, the Giant NPC didn't drop any loot.
In less than five minutes, Shi Feng had killed all ten Giants.
After the ten Giants died, Shifeng's vision blurred, and he appeared inside a shrine.
The instant Shifeng appeared in the shrine, he sensed that the Eternal Energy here was much denser than on the first floor.
Meanwhile, a large number of snake-type monsters roamed the shrine. Not only were these snakes massive, each as large as a two-story building, but they also had six heads.
[Six-headed Hellsnake] (Bloodline Creature, Lord) Level 94 HP 42,000,000/42,000,000
… A Bloodline Creature? Shifeng was stunned when he saw the Six-headed Hellsnakes swarming the shrine.
He hadn't expected the second floor's difficulty to increase so much. Bloodline Creatures were on par with Elites of the same tier. Moreover, they possessed Legacy Abilities and extraordinary combat power. Not even the Tier 2 Giant NPCs before him were a match for these Six-headed Hellsnakes.
However, after a brief moment of surprise, a hint of joy appeared on Shifeng's face.
Bloodline Creatures were extremely rare. Even he didn't know much about them. He had planned to raid the Thunder Temple and obtain Bloodline Power from the Nagas, but now, he could save himself the trouble.
System: Congratulations! You have completed the first floor's trial and reached the second floor of the Tower of Four Gods. You may choose to rest here for a day or begin the second floor's trial immediately.
I've been training in God's Domain all this time. Even though my mental state has been good, my body in the real world has been affected. I should log out and rest for a while. After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng chose to rest for a day. This way, he could log out without worrying about any trouble.
By the time Shifeng logged out of the game and stepped out of his virtual gaming cabin, the sun had already shone into his room. It was already noon.
Meanwhile, as soon as Shi Feng exited the virtual gaming cabin and stretched his body, he suddenly felt weak and powerless. Moreover, his hunger had reached an unprecedented level. He felt as if every cell in his body was crying out for an extreme lack of energy. His mind was also in a daze, making him feel drowsy.
