Although White Autumn's voice hadn't been loud, everyone present had heard him clearly, and they stared at Xiang Shifeng in astonishment.
"Tier 3?! Impossible! "
Everyone instinctively refused to believe White Autumn's words. Long Xianglong, in particular, felt that the Swordsman was trying to trick him.
"Is White Autumn joking?! How can that brat be Tier 3?! "Duan Hanshan, too, refused to believe White Autumn's words. He, too, felt that White Autumn was toying with them.
Tier 3 was something they had always wanted to achieve, but even now, they weren't confident of completing their Tier 3 Promotion Quests. They felt that they still needed more time to accumulate enough resources.
However, Shifeng was only the Guild Leader of a pseudo-superpower. How could he possibly have more resources than they did? They'd be lucky if he could even reach Level 100, much less reach Tier 3.
"No, he is indeed a Tier 3 Sword King," Hermit suddenly said as he stepped forward.
When Hermit confirmed White Autumn's words, the crowd fell silent. Not only had White Autumn claimed that Shifeng was a Tier 3 player, but even Hermit, a Grand Elder of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, had said so. This meant that White Autumn's claim was true.
Everyone turned to look at Xiang Shifeng once more. Now, they no longer viewed Shifeng as the Guild Leader of a pseudo-superpower. Instead, they viewed him as a Tier 3 powerhouse who could easily kill Tier 2 players in God's Domain.
"It's no wonder why Hermit turned a blind eye to his actions. So, he's a Tier 3 Sword King?" Realization dawned on Burning Owl as he looked at Shifeng.
Hermit was famous for his strictness in the Azure Chamber of Commerce. Logically, he shouldn't have tolerated an outsider killing a Primal Hero.
Yet, not only had Hermit tolerated the incident, but he had even reprimanded the peak experts guarding White Autumn's residence.
Now, it seemed that Hermit hadn't been trying to avoid interfering with the two families' affairs. Rather, he had done so to avoid a conflict with Shifeng.
"Tier 3? He really has hidden his strength well." Jade Bamboo grew cautious when she looked at Shifeng. She hadn't expected Ling Yi to have such a foundation.
Tier 3 players were no trivial matter. As far as she knew, the various superpowers had yet to produce a single Tier 3 player.
However, White Autumn had already stated that he was one of Giant's Heart's Vice Guild Leaders. After receiving the God's blessing, his status and identity had risen significantly. Even the various superpowers feared him, so there was no need for him to lie.
Inwardly, she was still somewhat skeptical. However, since Hermit had stepped forward, even if she did not see any concrete evidence, the fact that Shifeng was a Tier 3 class should not be far from the truth.
If a Shifeng was a Tier 3 class, then their cooperation with Ling Yi would have to be renegotiated.
Compared to the astonishment of the crowd, Long Xianglong's face was alternating between green and white. He was speechless for a long time.
"How dare you trick me!" Long Xianglong gritted his teeth as he glared at the Shifeng.
Against a Tier 3 player, even Shi Feng would have no choice but to flee. After all, the difference between tiers was simply too massive. It was just like how a Tier 2 player could bully a Tier 1 player. The difference between the two was simply too massive. This was especially true for the Level 100-plus threshold.
Meanwhile, Duan Hanshan, who stood beside Long Xianglong, celebrated. He had nearly taken action just now. Otherwise, he would've been the one in an awkward situation.
"Elder Long, do you still wish to compete?" Shifeng asked, smiling mysteriously.
He could understand why Long Xianglong wanted Silent Wonder to join the Azure Chamber of Commerce for the sake of her future. However, he couldn't pretend that he hadn't heard Long Xianglong say that Ling Yi would ruin Silent Wonder's future.
If Long Xianglong wanted to compete, he wouldn't mind showing the Swordsman Ling Yi's foundation.
"There's no need for that. I admit that I'm no match for you right now," Long Xianglong said decisively. Long Xianglong said decisively. "However, the difference in strength between the two of us doesn't mean anything. Nurturing experts requires a massive amount of resources. Do you think Zero Wing can beat Azure in this aspect?"
"How will we know if we don't try?" Shifeng said, unfazed by Long Xianglong's words.
Azure might have plenty of resources, but when it came to nurturing experts, Ling Yi was no longer the same as it had been in the past. This was especially true now that Ling Yi had amassed a large stockpile of Primal Void Stones. As long as he could construct a combat room, he wouldn't necessarily be any weaker than the various superpowers.
This was especially true when it came to the path of advancement. Long Xianglong knew this far better than any other power.
"Good! Very good! The Azure Chamber of Commerce holds a family competition every year, and Wonder will participate as well. When the time comes, I want to see just how far Zero Wing can help Wonder without Azure's resources! "After saying so, Long Xianglong turned and left, not daring to linger in the room.
"Third Uncle!" Silent Wonder grew anxious as she watched Long Xianglong leave in a huff.
Ling Yi had expended a lot of resources to help her grow stronger. She had planned to ask Azure to provide some resources to Ling Yi after the competition, but judging by Long Xianglong's attitude, it seemed that he didn't intend to give Ling Yi even a dime.
"Second Sis, don't try to persuade him. You know Third Uncle's personality. We'll have to talk to him later," Burning Owl said, trying to dissuade Silent Wonder.
Silent Wonder had no choice but to give up on Ling Yi. She felt that she had wronged Ling Yi.
Meanwhile, the various superpowers watching from the sidelines, especially Duan Hanshan's side, looked at the Shifeng with joyful expressions.
Shi Feng had helped the Long Family, yet he hadn't reaped any benefits. Why wouldn't Duan Hanshan be happy?
"Although Hei Yan is very strong, he's too foolish to give up such a good resource," Yan Xiaoqian said as she looked at Long Xianglong. "It seems that Wonder won't be a match for me in the upcoming family competition," Yan Xiaoqian said regretfully as she glanced at Shi Feng.
"Hei Yan sure is arrogant. If he hadn't provoked Long Xianglong, he would've gotten his hands on the western continent's precious resources. Not only would he have strengthened his Guild, but he would've also had a better chance of fending off the various Otherworlds' invasions. It's a pity that those resources are gone. What can he do by himself?" The blue-clad Assassin was similarly speechless.
Tier 3 players might be very powerful and awe-inspiring right now, but this was only the beginning.
However, this advantage was only temporary. Once the various superpowers' experts reached Tier 3, Shi Feng's advantage would be gone. How was he supposed to compete with the Azure Chamber of Commerce then?
Jade Bamboo nodded in agreement with Silent Wonder's words.
She had planned to work with Ling Yi, but it seemed that she no longer needed to. Moreover, many of the superpowers present had most likely given up on the idea of working with Ling Yi. This meant that Ling Yi had missed out on a massive opportunity.
After Azure's competition ended, Shifeng had no intention of lingering in Demonstone Town. He immediately returned to White River City with Silent Wonder.
After all, he had never cared about Azure's Demonstone Town's resources.
The only thing Shi Feng truly cared about was the territory in the Cold Spring Canyon. Once he established his territory, Demonstone Town and the rare resources the Azure Chamber of Commerce had shipped over from the western continent would pale in comparison.
