As Hong Xinyuan questioned Tian Cheng, Kerui hurriedly signaled for Tian Cheng to agree. After all, this was a good opportunity to disrupt Muxin's plans.
As one of Frost Heaven's Ten Swords, Tian Cheng ranked among the top five in terms of strength. Among Ling Yi's members, Hei Yan was the only one capable of contending with him.
However, Tian Cheng surprisingly did not agree immediately.
"Uncle Hong, may I know if I can use my full strength in this match?" Tian Cheng asked.
The Ten Swords of Frost Heaven were different from ordinary members. They could not easily reveal their strength to outsiders. Unless they received an order from their superiors, they could not use their full strength even if they lost.
Meanwhile, Duan Hanshan did not doubt Tian Cheng's question in the slightest. After all, the Azure Chamber of Commerce was the same. Only, this restriction had been lifted during the competition.
"You may use your full strength if necessary," Hong Xinyuan said after giving the matter some thought.
Ling Yi's Guild Leader, Hei Yan, possessed the strength to contend with a Faux Saint Mythic monster. If Hei Yan fought on Ling Yi's side, Tian Cheng might really lose if he did not use his full strength.
This was not something Hong Xinyuan wanted to see. After all, his main purpose here was to establish his might.
"I have no problem with that, then." Upon hearing Hong Xinyuan's words, fighting spirit burned in Tian Cheng's eyes.
"Good. I'll leave it to you in a moment, then." Hong Xinyuan nodded in satisfaction. He then looked at Duan Hanshan and said, "Old Ice Demon, it's a deal."
Originally, Hong Xinyuan had planned to let Ling Yi know about Frost Heaven's foundations after testing Ling Yi. Now, however, he could save himself the effort.
"It's a deal." Duan Hanshan chuckled. He then looked at the blue-haired youth nearby and said, "Solitary, come down in a moment. This Frost Heaven youngster will replace you in this match."
"Him?" Solitary Frost scrutinized the honest-looking youth beside Duan Hanshan. Somewhat reluctantly, he asked, "Can he do it?"
Suddenly, both Tian Cheng and Hong Xinyuan felt the urge to vomit blood.
Why did everyone look down on Frost Heaven so much these days?
However, Hong Xinyuan did not lose his temper. Instead, he remained silent. At the same time, he gave Tian Cheng a look that said, "You know what to do..
. this match would let Azure know just how powerful Frost Heaven's members were. "
Shortly after, the battle between Ling Yi and Azure's guidance match began in the main hall...
Whether they were Zero Wing's members or Azure's members, every one of them was ecstatic.
............. I wonder how many seconds that newcomer can last...............
"I heard that the record for the previous battle was only 16 seconds at most."
"Sixteen seconds? . Can...............
.... .... .............
.
For a time, everyone was talking about the sudden change in the instructor battle. Azure's members, in particular, were focused on how long Tian Cheng could last in the duel. Kerui, who stood beside Azure, gnashed her teeth in anger. Muxin, on the other hand, was dumbfounded.
.... Is it because Frost Heaven hasn't made any big moves for so long that we've become dispensable in everyone's eyes? Muxin felt as if she had arrived at a strange place.
Setting aside Frost Heaven, Azure's members felt as if they were proud of themselves.
Every one of them acted as if they were proud to last a few more seconds against Zero Wing's members. None of them had any self-awareness that they were experts. It was as if holding on for even a second longer was a supreme glory.
While Tian Cheng was seated in the virtual combat room, the door across from him slowly opened. A beautiful young girl then walked in and sat on Ling Yi's combat seat. She then gently put on the linked helmet like a girl-next-door. She didn't have the temperament and sharpness of an expert at all.
Are you toying with me? Tian Cheng glared at this young girl, a hint of anger growing in his heart.
Originally, he had thought that Ling Yi would send a great expert who could force him to go all out. He had been so nervous that he had even requested Uncle Hong to lift the restriction on his strength.
Yet, not only had Ling Yi not sent Hei Yan, but he had also sent a young girl instead of his two Vice Guild Leaders. Ling Yi was simply looking down on Frost Heaven.
"Old Ice Demon, is this the Ling Yi you think so highly of?" Hong Xinyuan could not help but chuckle when he saw Violet Cloud.
Previously, Duan Hanshan had displayed so much confidence that Hong Xinyuan had almost believed him. Now, however, it would seem that he had been overthinking things.
Although Violet Cloud had reached the Void Realm at such a young age and could be considered a genius, she was nothing compared to Tian Cheng. In fact, Tian Cheng could end the battle in just a few seconds.
"Of course." Seeing Hong Xinyuan's smile, Duan Hanshan smiled and said, "Why don't we add some more chips?"
"What? Are you going back on your word?" Hong Xinyuan laughed.
"That's not it. How about we bet another 100,000 Magic Crystals?" Duan Hanshan happily suggested.
"What will happen if we don't bet?" Hong Xinyuan asked, smiling.
In his opinion, Duan Hanshan was just trying to scare him. Now that the system had been upgraded, the various materials, especially Magic Crystals, would become even more valuable. Currently, the various superpowers were frantically collecting Magic Crystals. None of them were willing to sell them to the public. One hundred thousand Magic Crystals was a huge sum.
"It's up to you if you don't bet," Duan Hanshan said nonchalantly.
"Alright, I'll bet with you, then," Hong Xinyuan took the initiative to agree when he saw Duan Hanshan give up.
"Good. I knew you were a good person, Old Hong." Duan Hanshan could not help but laugh happily.
"A good person?" Hearing Duan Hanshan's words, Hong Xinyuan couldn't help but feel that something was off.
While the two of them chatted, the virtual screen outside the combat room displayed Violet Cloud's and Tian Cheng's battle.
Both sides stood 100 yards apart in a wasteland. Both sides' Attributes, levels, and equipment remained at the last second before they logged out of God's Domain.
Among Tian Cheng's equipment, six pieces were Epic Equipment. The spear in his hand even radiated a dark glow. With a single glance, one could tell that it was an extraordinary Magic Weapon. Its Attributes were definitely above those of ordinary Epic Weapons. Every one of Tian Cheng's movements caused the space around the battlefield to tremble slightly.
Meanwhile, Tian Cheng had already reached Level 119, only one level away from the Level 120 threshold. Even in God's Domain, he could rank at the very top.
"Hehe, now you know how amazing Frost Heaven is, right?"
Just as Kerui, who stood outside the combat room, thought that everyone present would exclaim in shock and exclaim in surprise, the room was strangely quiet.
In contrast, Muxin, who stood beside her, had a complicated expression on her face as if she had just witnessed something unbelievable.
Following which, Kerui followed Muxin's gaze.
[Violet Cloud] Level 121
She was two levels higher than Tian Cheng.
"Level 121?"
Kerui was stupefied by this sight.
Tian Cheng had only reached Level 119 after exhausting all of the Guild's resources. Yet, Violet Cloud, a Cleric named Ling Yi, was actually two levels higher than Tian Cheng. Who would believe this?
Meanwhile, Tian Cheng, who stood inside the combat room, was also surprised. He never thought that there would be someone in God's Domain who could surpass him by two levels.
"It seems that you are quite capable as well. However, this small level difference won't give you any advantage," Tian Cheng said as he looked at Violet Cloud, who stood 100 yards away from him. Slowly, he said, "On the other hand, this wasteland is considerably disadvantageous for magical classes like you. You won't have any room to dodge."
"That's not necessarily true!" Violet Cloud shook her head, disagreeing with Tian Cheng's opinion.
"Is that so? Then, let me see if you're right! "
After saying that, Tian Cheng dashed towards Violet Cloud in a flash, leaving only an afterimage in his wake.
Tier 3 Skill, Instantaneous Shadow Pierce!
Although this wasn't God's Domain, where players could display 100% of their strength, their physique and Basic Attributes were still the same.
Ordinary Tier 3 players would need a lot of time to cover a distance of over a hundred yards. However, with the Tier 3 Dragonspear Warrior class, Tian Cheng could cover the distance in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, Tian Cheng appeared before Violet Cloud and swung his pitch-black spear.
Spear images rained down on Tian Cheng, each spear piercing through the air and distorting space itself.
Even Domain Realm experts would struggle to cope with Tian Cheng's ferocious attacks. This was also one of Tian Cheng's signature moves.
"A combination of magic and martial arts?"
Duan Hanshan immediately understood how powerful Tian Cheng's move was when he saw Tian Cheng's frenzied attacks.
He had to admit that Tian Cheng was very talented. Although Tian Cheng's attacks looked simple, they actually formed a magic array that connected all of his attacks. His control over Mana was simply inhuman. Moreover, the power of his attacks was definitely enough to contend with Mythic monsters of the same level.
If a magical class player with weak Defense got hit, they would die without a doubt.
Just as Kerui was feeling pleased with Tian Cheng's performance, a sigh reached her ears.
"That person sure is brave. He actually dared to get close to Violet Cloud. He's dead for sure now."
However, Kerui did not pay much attention to this comment. When fighting a magical class player, was he supposed to attack from afar instead of melee combat?
The person who said this was worse than a noob!
Meanwhile, when Kerui and the others thought that Violet Cloud would retreat and wait for Tian Cheng to finish his first wave of attacks, Violet Cloud actually didn't take a single step back. Instead, she even took the initiative to meet Tian Cheng's attacks head-on …
The spear images filling the sky were simply impossible to dodge. However, Violet Cloud brandished her staff in front of her and used her free hand to block the incoming attacks.
This scene not only stunned the people outside the battle room, but it also confused Tian Cheng.
A magical class player facing a weapon empty-handed was no different from suicide!
Just as Violet Cloud's palm was about to collide with the spear images, a twofold magic array appeared above her palm.
Tier 3 Defensive Spell, Purple Crystal Barrier!
As Violet Cloud swung her palm, the Purple Crystal Barrier pushed forward horizontally. Like an iron wall, the barrier collided with the incoming spears.
In the next moment, not only did the Purple Crystal Barrier shatter the spear images in its path, but the barrier also pressed down on Tian Cheng, forcing him to dodge.
Tier 3 Defensive Spells can be used like this?
Kerui was astonished when she saw Violet Cloud nullify Tian Cheng's Defensive Spell.
Her technique was truly uncanny. In God's Domain, Defensive Spells were fixed in place. Once activated, they could not be moved.
The reason why Defensive Spells could not be moved was that the Mana required to move them was simply too complicated. It was not something that humans could endure, yet Violet Cloud had done. This was something that not even Domain Realm experts could accomplish …
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Tian Cheng leaped to avoid the incoming attack. Just as he was about to attack Violet Cloud, however, he froze momentarily.
Unbeknownst to Shi Feng, over 300 magic blades had appeared around Violet Cloud and danced in the air. These magic blades looked like flying fairies, and every one of them carried the power to destroy heaven and earth as they charged at Shi Feng from all directions.
Double Rapid Incantation?
Hurriedly, Tian Cheng used a Defensive Combat Technique and a Tier 3 Defensive Skill to defend himself.
In the next moment, a pitch-black phantom appeared around Tian Cheng. As if it were an extension of his body, the phantom moved to intercept the incoming magic blades.
Boom … Boom … Boom …
A series of explosions rang out in the air, and the sound reverberated throughout the entire battlefield. The spatial fluctuations could even be seen clearly on the screen in the combat room.
Tian Cheng's Defense was watertight. His mastery of his Domain had already reached the pinnacle. His every action was simplified to the extreme. He was like a steel wall.
Three seconds later, a black figure descended from the sky and smashed into the ground.
"How is this possible?!"
Kerui was stupefied when she saw this black figure.
This black figure was none other than Tian Cheng, whose HP had reached zero …
