Lost Town, Extraordinary Tower's second floor:
As Shi Feng climbed up the stairs, the number and strength of the Swordsmen he encountered increased as well. This was especially true when he reached the 89th step. Initially, there was only one silver Swordsman, but now, there were four gold Swordsmen.
Not only did these four gold Swordsmen possess combat standards close to the Refinement Realm standard, but they had also reached the Truth Realm. When they worked together, they were far stronger than ordinary Refinement Realm experts. Moreover, the four gold Swordsmen's coordination was flawless, as if they were one person. Their attacks were nearly impossible to defend against. Including their higher Attributes, even Shifeng struggled to cope with their attacks.
If not for Sword's Transmigration, which allowed him to block the attacks accurately, he would've long since been pushed back.
Although I can easily deal with each of these Swordsmen, a Tier 1 physique isn't something I can block. It seems I have no choice but to face them head-on!
After clashing with the four gold Swordsmen for three minutes, Shifeng realized that continuing the fight would only be a waste of time. He couldn't find an opportunity to break through the four gold Swordsmen's defenses or find a weakness. His only option was to rely on his Strength to crush the four gold Swordsmen.
Following which, Shifeng took a step back and took a deep breath. He then raised the Abyssal Blade above his head and began to gather power.
In the next moment, the phantom of a greatsword formed in midair. Although Shi Feng only had a Tier 1 physique, his Mana Body wasn't affected by the Extraordinary Tower's suppression. Hence, he could easily manipulate his Mana to fight without any hindrance.
Seeing the four Golden Swordsmen pouncing towards him, the Swordsman instantly worked together to attack his sixteen weak points. Seeing that Shi Feng could not block their attacks, Shi Feng abruptly brandished the Abyssal Blade.
Combat Technique, Lightshadow!
In the next moment, the phantom of a gigantic sword descended on the four gold Swordsmen.
Boom!
Along with the sound of an explosion, the four gold Swordsmen stumbled several steps back, their formation thrown into disarray. Without hesitation, Shifeng dashed up to the nearest gold Swordsman. The gold Swordsman reacted quickly. Although he hadn't stabilized himself yet, he had already swung his sword at Xiang Shifeng in an attempt to stop the Shifeng's ambush.
However, Shifeng didn't give the gold Swordsman a chance. He swung Killing Ray in a dazzling arc, deflecting the gold Swordsman's Chop. He then stabbed the Abyssal Blade at the gold Swordsman's heart.
Peng!
Sparks flew as the blade of the sword clashed against the Golden armor. The Golden Swordsman could not help but fall backward, tearing a hole in the net formed by the four Golden Swordsmen.
"Now is the time!"
When Shi Feng saw the fallen Gold-tier Swordsman, his footwork abruptly changed as he executed Void Steps, instantly disrupting the other three Gold-tier Swordsmen. He then broke through the encirclement of four Gold-tier Swordsmen and reached the 90th step.
However, the instant Shifeng reached the 90th step, a black-clad Swordsman suddenly appeared on the staircase. This black-clad Swordsman then swung his sword at Shifeng.
Not only did the black-clad Swordsman's attack contain a lot of power, but it also transformed into specks of light the instant the attack was launched.
"An Advanced Combat Technique?" Shifeng's expression darkened when he saw the black-clad Swordsman execute a combat technique.
Based on the black-clad Swordsman's swing, Shi Feng could tell that his Basic Attributes were even higher than the gold Swordsman's. The black-clad Swordsman's combat standards were also frighteningly high. The black-clad Swordsman's movements were even more perfect than those of Refinement Realm experts. Including the combination of the black-clad Swordsman's Advanced Combat Technique, the black-clad Swordsman's attack power was simply overwhelming.
However, in response to the sudden attack, Shi Feng swung Killing Ray and met it head-on.
Sword's Transmigration!
When the two swords collided, sparks flew in all directions. Along with the sound of an explosion, Shifeng was sent flying back to the 89th floor. Due to the recoil, he couldn't stop the four gold Swordsman's attacks and fell back to the starting point of the Trial Tower's second floor.
This black-clad Swordsman on the 90th floor really is amazing. Not only does he not make any unnecessary movements, but he can also perfectly combine an Advanced Combat Technique with his movements. Even a Domain Realm expert would have no choice but to face him head-on. Despite being sent back to the starting point, Shifeng didn't feel disappointed at all. On the contrary, he was very excited.
This was because this black-clad Swordsman had allowed him to see his own flaws.
Although Shi Feng had already reached the Ascension Realm and was capable of displaying his combat power to the fullest extent, and his every move was close to using a combat technique, it was only an ordinary attack that was close to a combat technique. It wasn't a combat technique, and it didn't have the power of a combat technique. It was only a combat technique.
To put it bluntly, his foundations were too weak. He only had the appearance of a combat technique.
Only the black-clad Swordsman had truly reached the Ascension Realm.
This was also why, despite having reached the Ascension Realm's apex, he still struggled to climb the Extraordinary Tower's second floor. He couldn't even reach the top.
If he could be like the Black-Robed Swordsman, not to mention completely integrating the Advanced Combat Skills into his body without the slightest extra movement, just completely integrating those Basic Combat Skills would greatly improve his combat level. After all, every move and every move had the might of a Combat Skill, so one could imagine his combat strength.
While Shifeng reflected on his shortcomings on the Extraordinary Tower's second floor, Ling Yi's members, who had been sent back from the second floor, were ecstatic.
"I did it! I finally did it! "Jian Ying could not help his ecstasy when he sensed the dense Mana radiating from his body.
Jian Ying wasn't the only one who was ecstatic. Turtledove, Alluring Summer, and the others, who had also been sent back from the second floor, were also brimming with Mana. It was obvious that they had fully unlocked their Mana Bodies.
Moreover, Jian Ying and the others weren't the only ones excited. Blue Frost, Flying Shadow, Stubborn Bone, and the others, who had only recently unlocked their Mana Bodies, were also ecstatic. It was obvious that they had made significant gains on the Extraordinary Tower's second floor.
The Extraordinary Tower's effects are actually so powerful? Shifeng was astonished when he saw his team's benefits.
In his opinion, the Extraordinary Tower's complete Mana would indeed help players control their Mana, but it shouldn't help players unlock their Mana Bodies so quickly. After all, learning and applying the Elemental Laws of Mana wasn't easy, not to mention finding a suitable way to apply them.
According to his estimates, although Jian Ying and the others were only a step away from fully unlocking their Mana Bodies, they should've needed three to five days to complete their breakthroughs in the Extraordinary Tower.
Yet, they had only been in the Extraordinary Tower for less than half a day, yet they had already broken through their Mana Bodies …
At this rate, it wouldn't take more than ten days for Ling Yi's main force members to fully unlock their Mana Bodies and become true powerhouses in God's Domain.
However, as Shifeng rested for a moment and planned to challenge the Extraordinary Tower's second floor, A Melancholy Smile contacted him.
"Guild Leader, Azure's representatives have suddenly arrived at the Guild Residence. They say that they have something to discuss with you. It's regarding Wonder's return to the western continent and her development with Violet Sword. They hope that our Guild can let go of this matter and not hinder Wonder's future. They've already met with Wonder, but she doesn't seem to be in a good mood," A Melancholy Smile reported.
"Violet Sword?" Shifeng could not help but chuckle when he heard this. "Azure sure knows how to dream."
"Do you want to meet with them?" A Melancholy Smile asked.
"There's no need for that. Have Hellscream send them off. Also, tell them that I'll personally take Wonder to Violet Sword during the family competition. When the time comes, I'll have a good chat with Violet Sword's people. They don't need to worry about this," Shifeng calmly said.
