In the current God's Domain, Ferocious Beasts were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Some had long since gone extinct.
Now that the Twelve Trials had begun, players would be fortunate enough to encounter one. It was extremely difficult to encounter one elsewhere.
In the first trial's field, a blurry figure descended from the sky.
Despite the violent winds raging in this world, this figure remained unaffected. It was as if it were the wind's pet, unaffected. On the contrary, it was like a fish in water.
This gigantic figure slowly descended, standing proudly in the center of the field, looking down on the tiny Shifeng.
This monster had the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a lion. It was the king of the skies, the Gryphon.
[Gryphon] (Elite Rank) Level 20 HP 30,000/30,000
"I never thought that the Gryphon would be so large. Its wingspan alone is over 20 meters." Shifeng was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, he quietly observed the Gryphon.
As a trial, the monsters here were completely different from those in the outside world. Not only did they possess a variety of skills, but their basic Attributes were also much stronger. Most importantly, they possessed higher intellect. They would not engage in simple battles of pure offense and defense.
However, the Gryphon did not give Shifeng much time to react. Following an ear-piercing cry, the Gryphon flapped its wings, creating a violent gale.
In the blink of an eye, two three-meter-tall tornadoes engulfed Xiang Shifeng. Wherever the wind blades passed, everything shattered.
"Using a skill right off the bat? Sure enough, the Gryphon is extraordinary."
Shifeng smiled faintly. His figure flashed, dodging the attack range of the two tornadoes.
Following which, he used Silent Steps and appeared behind the Gryphon. The pitch-black Abyssal Blade transformed into several streaks of black light that landed on the Gryphon's wings.
Pure white feathers scattered like snowflakes, landing on the blood-soaked ground.
"Ao! Ao!
Ao! "Before the Gryphon could react, it let out a painful roar. A damage of over -400 points appeared above its head. After a critical hit, the damage exceeded -800 points.
Following which, Shi Feng sent a Level 10 Chop at the Gryphon. Half of the Gryphon's wing was sliced off, becoming a cripple.
Meanwhile, the Gryphon's HP instantly decreased by over 1,900 points.
In just one exchange, the Gryphon's HP had decreased by 16%. With one of its wings crippled, it could not fly even if it wanted to.
The difference between the two sides was obvious.
A griffin that couldn't fly. Faced with a Shifeng whose Agility was above 200, he had become a living target for the Shifeng.
Shifeng shuttled back and forth around the Gryphon's body, one after another, streaks of black light pierced the Gryphon's body. The Shifeng did not use any skills to attack the Gryphon. Instead, they only used normal attacks. This way, the Shifeng's attacks would not cause the Gryphon's movements to become unnatural. Moreover, the Shifeng's attacks were extremely tricky. Every time they struck, they would either hit a vital point or a joint that affected the Gryphon's movement. This made it harder for the Gryphons to hit the Shifeng.
Although each of the attacks only dealt around -400 damage, after a dozen or so seconds, the ferocious Gryphons collapsed to the ground.
System: Gryphon defeated. First trial completed. Rewarding 100,000 EXP, 5 Free Mastery Points, and 50 Proficiency of all Skills.
System: You have cleared the first trial. Do you wish to begin the next trial?
"There's even a Free Mastery reward. This is great!" Shifeng smiled faintly when he saw the rewards. He then put away the Abyssal Blade and the Demon Slayer. He then clicked to begin the next trial.
Although the trial's monsters were very strong, they were nothing compared to Shifeng, who had extremely high Attributes and equipment.
"He passed. He's still so relaxed. "
"His strength is not bad. Although he has yet to become a Tier 1 Swordsman, his combat power has already reached the Tier 1 standard. It is normal for him to be able to defeat the Gryphon."
"At this rate, he should have no problems winning the first three trials. However, it won't be so easy from the fourth trial onwards."
"Mhm. The Twelve Trials will increase one's level every three trials. The combat power of each level will also increase significantly. The first to third trials are the Basic Level, while the fourth to sixth trials are the Intermediate Level. The seventh to ninth trials are the Advanced Level, while the tenth to twelfth trials are the Peak Level. I'm guessing that this brat will reach the fifth trial. "
Everyone in the Eternal Throne was an apex powerhouse. Their eyesight was extremely experienced. Through Shifeng's battle, they could more or less make a judgment.
However, it was just as these big shots had guessed.
The second trial's venue was a forest. His opponent was the Howling Silver Wolf, the absolute predator of the forest. Like the Gryphon, the Howling Silver Wolf was also a Level 20 Elite, and it also had 30,000 HP. Compared to the Gryphon, the Howling Silver Wolf was also a Tier 1 Basic Ferocious Beast.
However, Shifeng still crippled the Howling Silver Wolf's hind legs. Just like crippling the Gryphon's wings, the Silver Wolf's Movement Speed greatly decreased.
Following which, Shifeng used the Blazing Meteor to kite the Howling Silver Wolf.
Less than thirty seconds later, the Howling Silver Wolf fell.
System: Howling Silver Wolf defeated. Second trial completed. Rewarding 300,000 EXP, 10 Free Mastery Points, and 50 Proficiency of all Skills.
System: Second trial cleared. Do you wish to begin the next trial?
Following which, Shifeng's eyes lit up with a golden glow, reaching Level 19. Shifeng then added the additional 6 Attribute Points to Strength, instantly increasing his Strength to 180 points. He then activated the Strength Attribute's Hidden Passive Skill, Basic Destructive Power. With his bare hands, he could destroy Bronze ranked items.
In other words, Shifeng's bare-handed attacks could damage Bronze ranked weapons and equipment, reducing their durability and destroying them.
Originally, Shifeng had intended to add the 6 Free Attribute Points to Intelligence. However, for the sake of the trial, he would increase his combat power as much as he could.
Following which, Shifeng clicked to begin the next trial.
The third trial's opponent was a Blue-eyed Spider. The venue was also a dark cave, more suitable for spiders.
The Blue-eyed Spider's level had not changed after Shifeng reached Level 19. It was still a Level 20 Elite monster with 30,000 HP.
However, the Blue-eyed Spider was much stronger than the Howling Silver Wolf. It was not in terms of Attack Power or speed, but in its terrifying venom and tough spider silk. It also possessed powerful eyes. Even if its surroundings were pitch-black, the Blue-eyed Spider could see as if it were daytime. Moreover, it had a 360-degree field of vision, without a single blind spot.
Shifeng surveyed his surroundings. Even with his extraordinary strength, he could only see up to a five-yard radius.
Meanwhile, the Blue-eyed Spider could see Shifeng's attacks from thirty to forty yards away. This was extremely disadvantageous for Shifeng.
"Interesting." However, Shifeng did not panic in the slightest. On the contrary, the corners of his lips curled up. "If other players did not have the support of tools, they might really end up in a bitter struggle. Unfortunately, I don't."
Suddenly, a dark-blue flame emerged from Shifeng's hand, instantly illuminating their surroundings. The scorching heat also caused the cold cave's temperature to rise rapidly.
However, this was not the end.
The dark-blue flame in Shifeng's hand quickly spread throughout Shifeng's body, enveloping Shifeng completely. As if possessed by the God of Fire, the entire cave became incomparably bright.
