Shifeng turned around and fled.
The Silver-eyed Lion King bellowed, its silver eyes fixed on Xiang Shifeng. Its powerful legs stomped on the ground, creating a strong gust of wind as it chased after Xiang Shifeng.
However, in terms of speed, Shifeng clearly had the advantage. The distance between them gradually increased. However, if Shifeng tried to kite, the Silver-eyed Lion King would quickly catch up.
Shifeng could not use potions to recover his HP. His only method of recovery was battle recovery. However, he could only recover 1% of his HP every five seconds. According to Shifeng's HP, he could only recover 24 HP every five seconds.
If he wanted to recover over 600 HP, he would have to spend a considerable amount of time.
Fortunately, my speed is slightly faster. This area is very large, so I can run around freely. Otherwise, I really would have died. Shifeng glanced at the Silver-eyed Lion King from the corner of his eyes. Most of his attention was focused on his surroundings.
God's Domain was different from other virtual reality games. It was more realistic.
One could say that a player's combat power could only affect 50% of a battle's outcome. Meanwhile, environmental factors accounted for 40%, while luck accounted for 10%.
Luck was an uncertain factor, so it was not considered.
As for the 50% of combat power and the 40% of environmental factors, how much a player could utilize was an important indicator of a player's techniques.
An ordinary expert could only exhibit 50% of their combat power. Meanwhile, the Main God System would calculate a player's combat power based on a systematic evaluation. This calculated combat power was the most credible.
As for how it was calculated, only the Main God System would know.
However, the current Main God System would not display a player's combat power and how much they could exhibit. God's Domain's second evolution would only begin after players had raided a 100-man Team Dungeon. Afterward, teleportation gates to the Divine Colosseum would appear in the various major cities. After entering the Divine Colosseum, players could compete with each other there. Not only could they obtain equipment, but they could also level up and improve their techniques. As players continued to compete, the Main God System's statistics were constantly improved. Soon after, an individual combat power evaluation would appear, allowing everyone to test their own standards.
Because of this, the competition in God's Domain became extraordinarily popular. Later on, it even replaced fighting competitions in the real world.
If one could exhibit 50% of their combat power, they would be considered experts.
If one could exhibit 60% of their combat power, they would be second-rate experts.
Reaching 70% would make one a first-class expert.
A majority of these players were well-known experts in God's Domain. They frequently participated in the global competition that God's Domain held only once a year. They were definitely celebrities that players paid attention to in God's Domain.
Shifeng was a Tier 3 Sword King back then. Although Shifeng couldn't compare to God's Domain's famous great experts, he could still be considered a first-rate expert. He could exhibit roughly 80% of his combat power. However, compared to his combat power, Shifeng's perception of his surroundings was far superior.
In terms of combat power, the Shifeng and the Silver-eyed Lion King were roughly equal. However, the Silver-eyed Lion King had far more HP than the Shifeng. Regardless of the environment, the Shifeng would definitely die if they clashed.
If it was any other time, he would have just died. However, things were different now. This was a trial quest, and there was no second chance. If he died, the quest would be over. So, he couldn't die.
After running for more than ten minutes in Shifeng, they arrived at a hill, but the Silver-eyed Lion King was still chasing after them.
After circling around the hill for some time, Shifeng saw a cliff. Suddenly, his eyes glowed, the corners of his lips curling up slightly.
"I've finally found the key to victory." Shifeng smiled faintly. He then activated Windwalk, his speed increasing as he dashed towards the cliff.
Originally, Shifeng could have used this time to increase the distance between him and the Silver-eyed Lion King. However, Shifeng did not do so. He wanted to find an advantageous terrain to deal with the Silver-eyed Lion King.
A minute later, Shifeng stood at the edge of the cliff. Below him was a Stony Canyon.
"This height should be enough." Shifeng inwardly estimated, feeling that this method was feasible.
A few seconds later, the Silver-eyed Lion King caught up to them.
Just as the Silver-eyed Lion King was about to reach Shifeng … Brandishing its sharp claws, the Silver-eyed Lion King swiped at Xiang Shifeng's head. Shifeng jumped, dodging the attack. In the next moment, the Silver-eyed Lion King's claws struck the cliff face.
Boom! The ground beneath Shifeng and the Silver-eyed Lion King's feet crumbled. Both man and beast fell off the cliff.
Just as the Silver-eyed Lion King was about to hit the ground, Shifeng activated Gravity Ring, greatly reducing his speed as he landed lightly on the ground like a feather.
However, the Silver-eyed Lion King was not so lucky. When it landed, it created a deep crater, sinking deep into the ground. Only a sliver of its HP remained.
"You're quite durable. You're still alive. However, you reap what you sow." Shifeng unceremoniously used Thundering Flash to hack at the Silver-eyed Lion King.
Three streaks of lightning flashed past, snatching away the Silver-eyed Lion King's remaining 1,000 HP.
If Shifeng had jumped off the cliff, the Silver-eyed Lion King would not have followed him. Instead, it would have circled down to chase after Shifeng. After all, ferocious beasts were not stupid. Hence, Shifeng had borrowed the Silver-eyed Lion King's powerful destructive power. If the Silver-eyed Lion King was caught off guard, it would definitely fall for the attack.
System: Silver-eyed Lion King defeated. Fourth trial completed. Rewarding 3,000,000 EXP, 20 Free Mastery Points, and 10 Gold Coins. Proficiency of all Skills increased by 300 points.
System: Fourth trial cleared. Do you wish to start the next trial?
"3,000,000 EXP? Isn't this reward a little too generous?" Shifeng was shocked when he saw the system reward. He had just reached Level 19, yet he could already look forward to reaching Level 20.
Moreover, after clearing the fourth trial, Shifeng had accumulated 1,500 War God's Temple Merit Points. It was enough to exchange for one Dark-Gold item or three Fine-Gold items.
As long as he cleared the fifth trial, he could obtain another 1,600 War God's Temple Merit Points. It was even more than the previous four trials.
After resting for a moment, Shifeng started the fifth trial.
The fifth trial's location was a desert. The ferocious beast they faced was a monster with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a snake. Scorching flames burned in its mouth, and a jade-green venom slowly flowed out from its tail. The monster looked like a salivating dog.
When this monster saw Shifeng enter its territory, its crimson eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing an excited expression.
"Chimera!" Shifeng was shocked.
Although Shifeng did not use Observing Eyes, he had fought against the Chimera before. The Chimera was the Boss of a 100-man Team Dungeon. The Chimera had only been raided after countless team-wipes. Hence, Shifeng had a deep impression of it.
[Chimera] (Special Elite) Level 20 HP 120,000/120,000
Shifeng was extremely familiar with the Chimera. He knew the Chimera's strengths and weaknesses.
The Chimera could spit fire from its mouth. It also had the strength of a Silver-eyed Lion King. Its snake tail was the equivalent of another monster. Its venom attack was very strong. Moreover, as long as one was poisoned, the Chimera's fire would kill them without a doubt. However, the Chimera had one weakness, and that was its venom.
Shifeng activated Windwalk while dodging the Chimera's claws and venom attacks. He did not retaliate, only dodging. When the Chimera's venom began to spread, Shifeng finally took action.
Without hesitation, Shi Feng charged into the poisonous fog. Meanwhile, the Chimera followed closely behind.
As soon as Shifeng entered the poisonous fog, a Poisoned status appeared on his body, causing him to lose 200 HP every second. However, Shifeng did not care.
Following which, Shifeng ran out of the poisonous fog area. He then turned around and threw the Blazing Meteor.
After a streak of flame entered the poisonous fog area, the dark green fog instantly turned dark green. Immediately after, the Blazing Meteor exploded. The Chimera within the poisonous fog was immediately sent flying, losing over 10,000 HP and entering a temporary Crippled state. Shifeng took advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack.
By the time the Chimera recovered from its Crippled state, Shifeng had already dealt over 6,000 damage to it.
Enraged, the Chimera charged at Xiang Shifeng once more. Shifeng began dodging again, waiting for the poisonous fog to form.
After several rounds, Shifeng only had around 400 HP remaining. However, the Chimera had already fallen at Shifeng's feet.
System: Chimera defeated. Fifth trial completed. Rewarding 6,000,000 EXP, 20 Free Mastery Points, and 10 Gold Coins. Proficiency of all Skills increased by 300 points.
System: Fifth trial cleared. Do you wish to begin the next trial?
After receiving 6,000,000 EXP, Shifeng immediately rose to 62% of Level 20. He was not too far away from Level 21.
Although Shifeng had received some additional Attributes, becoming slightly stronger, Shifeng felt that the next trial would be even more dangerous. If not for Shifeng being familiar with the Chimera, they would have most likely been finished in this trial.
Meanwhile, the monsters in the sixth trial would definitely be stronger than this Chimera. If the monsters were familiar to Shifeng, then it would be fine. However, what if they were not?
Wouldn't they be dead meat …
Shifeng would not entrust such an important matter to luck. Hence, this time, Shifeng did not choose to enter the sixth trial after the break. Instead, he opened his Attribute Panel and used the Free Mastery Points that he had not used until now.
50 One-handed Sword Mastery. Level up to Intermediate Apprentice Swordsman. Damage when using a One-handed Sword increased by 15%.
100 One-handed Sword Mastery. Level up to Advanced Apprentice Swordsman. Damage when using a One-handed Sword increased by 20%.
150 One-handed Sword Mastery. Level up to Basic Swordsman. Damage when using a One-handed Sword increased by 30%. There was a 10% qualitative change.
200 One-handed Sword Mastery. Level up to Intermediate Swordsman. Damage when using a One-handed Sword increased by 40%.
Normally, even after becoming a Tier 1 Swordsman, a player's One-handed Sword or Two-handed Sword Mastery would only reach the Intermediate Apprentice Swordsman standard.
Meanwhile, Shifeng had completed five trials. Including the Mastery Points he had accumulated from completing quests and the Mastery Points awarded for every five levels, he had a total of 168 Mastery Points.
After adding all of his Mastery Points to his One-handed Sword, Shifeng's One-handed Sword Mastery rose to Basic Swordsman standard.
However, Shifeng was still not satisfied.
Following which, he equipped the Level 20 Dark-Gold One-handed Sword, Purgatory's Shadow, which he had bought from the Auction House, and replaced it with the Level 15 Dark-Gold Demonbane.
"Time to devour."
Shifeng looked at the pitch-black Abyssal Blade in his hand. He then sacrificed the ten Level 15 Mysterious-Iron Weapons and the Level 15 Dark-Gold Demonbane that he had just replaced.
