Secret room, before an exotic beast statue …
As the Sword Saint's Legacy's information flowed into Fire Dance's mind, the Mana around her body fluctuated. It was clear that she had received plenty of inspiration from the Sword Saint's Legacy. Her control over Mana and utilization of Mana were improving at a visible rate.
At this moment, Shifeng, who stood beside Fire Dance, was similarly envious.
In truth, he had always wanted to use the Sword Saint's Legacy immediately. However, he also knew that even if he used it now, it wouldn't be of much use to him.
After all, what truly held him back wasn't his mastery of Mana but his lack of Concentration.
Currently, as long as his Concentration was strong enough, he could control his Mana Body's magic arrays using the three-pronged method. Naturally, he could exert his Mana Body's full potential.
Hence, what he needed to do now was figure out how to control his three-pronged Mana more easily. Everything else was secondary.
"It's about time for me to train properly and figure out how to adapt to three-pronged control."
Shifeng smiled as he looked at the others in the room. He then sat down and began trying to adapt to the three-pronged control method.
Previously, his Concentration standard had only been at the Tier 4 Intermediate standard. However, due to the Tier 4 Hellfire, his Concentration had been thoroughly tempered and refined. According to his estimates, his Concentration standard should've reached the Tier 4 Peak standard. He was only a step away from reaching the Tier 5 World Creation standard.
Of course, reaching the Tier 5 standard wasn't enough to achieve World Creation. One also needed to reach the Grandmaster Magic Array standard. This was also why players and NPCs couldn't learn World Creation even after reaching Tier 5. After all, becoming a Grandmaster Magic Array was simply too difficult.
Generally, the majority of those capable of becoming Grandmaster Magicians were Grandmasters of various Lifestyle classes. However, none of these Grandmasters were suited for combat. Most of them had yet to reach Tier 5, remaining stuck at Tier 4. This was even more obvious among players.
Over 70% of Tier 4 experts who had grasped World Creation were Lifestyle Grandmasters. This made many Tier 5 apex experts envious.
After all, the difference between those who grasped World Creation and those who didn't was like the difference between heaven and earth. Even after reaching Tier 5, there was still a significant gap between them.
Time flew by, and half a day had passed unknowingly.
While Shi Feng tried to control his Mana Body with the tri-line manipulation technique, Fire Dance's Mana suddenly increased by a large margin. The resulting Mana storm even woke everyone in the secret room.
"Sister Fire Dance, what's going on? Isn't this Mana a little too powerful?! "Flying Shadow stared at the dense white mist surrounding Fire Dance in disbelief.
"His Mana Body must have broken through that boundary," Turtledove said enviously.
"No, it's not as simple as breaking through the 100% limit." Alluring Summer shook her head. "My Mana Body has also broken through the 100% threshold, but compared to Fire Dance, it's still far from enough. Even after breaking through to Tier 4, it shouldn't be so exaggerated."
After all, she had already broken through the 102% threshold of her Mana Body, which had indeed caused a qualitative change to the Mana within her body. However, the Mana around Fire Dance's body was close to liquid. Even if she was a Tier 4 player and had to deal with the environment here, such a drastic change shouldn't be possible.
After a few minutes, Fire Dance's Mana finally stabilized, and excitement filled her eyes.
"Guild Leader, I did it!" Fire Dance exclaimed excitedly as she looked at Xiang Shifeng. "My Mana Body has already broken through to 107%! If I have more time, breaking through to 110% won't be impossible!"
She had already heard from Shifeng that a Mana Body's Completion Rate would undergo a major upgrade once it reached 105%. If she could reach 110%, her Mana Body's Completion Rate would undergo a massive transformation.
Although she hadn't reached 110% yet, with the information she had obtained from the Sword Saint's Legacy and the effects of the Exotic Beast Sculpture, she was very confident that she could reach 110% Completion Rate. At that time, her combat power would definitely surpass Violet Cloud's. After all, Violet Cloud's Mana Body was only at 108% Completion Rate.
"She broke through to 107% on her first try?" Shifeng was astonished when he heard Fire Dance's words.
Generally speaking, players couldn't break through to 105% on their first try. After all, reaching 105% was a qualitative transformation of one's Mana Body's control over the Mana Body. Take Violet Cloud's first breakthrough for example.
Yet, Fire Dance had skipped this process and reached the second step of her Mana Body. This was a massive improvement.
"That Sword Saint has a very thorough understanding of the Mana Body. His explanation is also simple and easy to understand. It's a pity that I'm not a Swordsman. Otherwise, my improvement would be even greater," Fire Dance said, sighing. "If I give this Legacy to Jian Ying and the other Swordsman classes, they shouldn't have any trouble breaking through to 110% Completion Rate. For you, the improvement you'll receive will most likely be even more frightening."
"It's that effective?" Shifeng was also a little tempted by Fire Dance's offer. However, he suppressed his agitated heart and calmed himself, saying, "I'll pass on it for now. However, Jian Ying and the other Swordsman classes can use this Legacy after they get promoted to Tier 4. If the other physical classes manage to break through the 100% Completion Rate limit, they can learn it as well."
Breaking through to 110% Completion Rate was indeed very tempting. If his Mana Body could reach 115% Completion Rate, he would even be confident of clearing the Divine Dragon's trial.
However, he also knew that his current Concentration standard and control over magic arrays were his top priorities. As long as he met these two standards, and with the Sword Saint's Legacy, breaking through to 115% Completion Rate should be a matter of course. In fact, once he reached Level 150, he could even begin trying to create his own Mana Body.
After all, not every Tier 5 expert in the past had managed to create their own Mana Bodies after reaching 110% Completion Rate. Quite a few had managed to create their own Mana Bodies after reaching 110% or 109% Completion Rate.
This was because the Completion Rate of the Mana Body and the creation of the Mana Body weren't necessarily related. One could only say that the higher the Completion Rate of the Mana Body, the more helpful it would be in creating the Mana Body. After all, this was a process of familiarizing oneself with the Mana Body.
As for the Sword Saint's Legacy, if possible, he wanted to only allow Tier 4 Swordsmen to use it. However, with Ling Yi's situation, she most likely wouldn't be able to gather that many Tier 4 Swordsmen. Hence, he decided to relax the conditions. That way, Ling Yi would be able to produce more Tier 4 powerhouses.
"I understand," Fire Dance said, nodding.
Over the next ten days, Ling Yi's core upper echelons experienced significant breakthroughs due to the Exotic Beast Sculpture's effects. In addition, they discovered quite a few Tier 4 Legacy Lands during their exploration of the Great Canyon. Hence, they all set out to get promoted to Tier 4. As for Fire Dance, after reaching 110% Completion Rate, she began leading a team to explore the Great Canyon. As a result, Ling Yi's profits soared. This was especially true for the Level 130-plus top-tier equipment and materials.
Among the various profits, Ling Yi also benefited greatly from the Seven Luminaries Crystals. This was because the Seven Luminaries Crystals had begun dropping from Team Dungeons. Although the Dungeons didn't drop a lot of Seven Luminaries Crystals, every drop made a difference. In just ten short days, Ling Yi had obtained over 600 units of Seven Luminaries Crystals.
Even Shifeng was surprised. He never thought that exploring the Arctic Canyon would yield such astonishing profits. Moreover, more than half of the 600-plus units of Seven Luminaries Crystals had come from Fire Dance's team. As more Tier 4 players appeared in the Arctic Canyon in the future, they could easily predict that the Seven Luminaries Crystals they would obtain from monopolizing the Arctic Canyon would be even more frightening.
During these ten days, Shifeng was the only one who had nothing to do. After all, he was only half a step away from fully grasping the three-line control method.
Meanwhile, one major event after another had occurred in God's Domain during this time.
First, Sacred Heart City had been opened to everyone. Afterward, the various superpowers had received news that Lu Xingluo, the Starline Corporation's heir, had lost his right to be its heir due to his account being crippled. This situation had put a lot of pressure on the various superpowers' heirs.
Among these events, the most important one for God's Domain's various superpowers was none other than the arrival of the first batch of players from Ling Yi City's allies. The arrival of the first batch of 20,000 players instantly made the various superpowers realize just how valuable Ling Yi City was. For a time, the entry slots for Ling Yi City became even more popular.
However, the most important event for Ling Yi was the fact that Gentle Snow, Shiuse Qiangwei, Zhao Yueru, Yan Tianxing, and Yi Luofei had all reached Tier 4 and returned one after another. With this, Ling Yi's combat power had increased significantly. Now, exploring the Arctic Canyon had become much easier.
Ling Yi City, Candlelight's Special Forging Room:
Sure enough, breaking through the threshold to become a Grandmaster Magician isn't that easy. Shifeng smiled bitterly as he looked at the completed Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment in his hands.
After several days of research, he had come to understand that there were only two ways for him to grasp the Triple Control Method. The first was to break through to Tier 5, and the second was to become a Grandmaster Magician.
Breaking through to the Tier 5 standard was simply too difficult. It required opportunities and all sorts of tempering. Breaking through to the Tier 5 standard wasn't something that could be achieved with just a stroke of luck.
The only thing he could do right now was improve his mastery of magic arrays. Crafting the Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment was a process of improvement. The most difficult part of crafting a Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment was the engraving of magic arrays. Although the engraving was only a Master Magic Array, its complexity could rival that of a Grandmaster Magic Array.
If he could complete the engraving in one go, he wouldn't be far from becoming a Grandmaster Magician.
However, even after several days of refining countless Mana Iron Ingots and crafting over 200 Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment, he was still a step away from completing the engraving process. It was as if an invisible barrier stood before him.
Unknowingly, Shifeng had also reached Level 150. This was the threshold that would allow him to get promoted to Tier 5.
"Guild Leader, have the Boulder Corporation investigate Feng Qianyu's little sister's situation," Liang Jing suddenly said. "They've already received news. Feng Qianyu's little sister should be in Haitian City's Upper Zone."
"Alright, I got it."
Shifeng nodded. He then logged out of God's Domain and headed to Haitian City's Upper Zone to take a look.
Aside from investigating Feng Qianyu's little sister's situation, he could also use this opportunity to expand his business district in Haitian City's Upper Zone.
Every Upper Zone held a contribution competition, and the various corporations placed great importance on this competition. If Shi Feng didn't take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, he would suffer a huge loss. After all, Ling Yi was now a major player in the Guild, and a large batch of talented newcomers had joined the Guild's main headquarters. In addition, he needed to nurture the Guild's upper echelons. He lacked all kinds of resources. Relying solely on the Five States Corporation was far from enough.
