Ling Yi City, Ling Yi's Guild Residence:
After Shifeng logged into the game, he immediately delegated the Guild's affairs to Liang Jing and Youlan, especially the production of the Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment.
Youlan was in charge of the 200-plus Mana Set Equipment, and she had to find a way to secretly gather a group of Tier 3 experts capable of equipping the Mana Set Equipment. This way, Ling Yi would have another trump card.
Although the modified Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment couldn't be compared to the original Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment, it only reduced the Basic Attributes by 15%. When equipped, Tier 3 players could still rival Tier 4 players in combat power and contend against Tier 4 Mythic monsters of the same level.
In addition, Shifeng also handed the Treasure of Fire to A Melancholy Smile. He had A Melancholy Smile collect as many Mysterious Flames as possible and use them to produce Mysterious Flame Seeds as rewards for Candlelight's alchemists and forgers.
Not only could this increase Candlelight's production capacity, but it could also attract other Lifestyle players to join the Guild.
After all, Mysterious Flames could greatly increase the production success rate of many Lifestyle players. They could also be of great help when leveling up.
When A Melancholy Smile received the Treasure of Fire, she was similarly shocked. She couldn't contain her excitement.
She, too, coveted Mysterious Flames. However, powerful Mysterious Flames were simply too difficult to find. Even if she did find one, she couldn't easily absorb it. The Mysterious Flame she currently used was only a Tier 2 Mysterious Flame. Even now, no Lifestyle player had been able to absorb the two Tier 3 Mysterious Flames in the Guild's stockpile.
Not only could the Treasure of Fire solve this problem, but it could also create Mysterious Flames through various flames.
In fact, A Melancholy Smile could already see Lifestyle players applying for jobs filling Candlelight's various Shops. At that time, whether it was the construction of the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship or the construction of the Mobile Fortress, Candlelight wouldn't have to worry about a lack of talent and manpower.
At the same time, due to the return of Gentle Snow and Shiuse Qiangwei, Ling Yi no longer lacked apex combatants to protect her. Shifeng also had Fire Dance secretly gather information about the Seven Treasures, searching for clues about the Seven Treasures.
As for the Seven Treasures, Shifeng wasn't just collecting them for quests. More importantly, the Seven Treasures had all sorts of heaven-defying support properties. Not only were they of great help to an individual, but they were also of great help to a Guild.
Previously, due to players' low levels and weak strength, the chances of them coming into contact with the Seven Treasures had been very low. Moreover, it would've taken him a long time to search for the Seven Treasures by himself. However, now that more Tier 4 players had joined the game, the chances of them coming into contact with the Seven Treasures had increased significantly. In addition, Ling Yi's strength had also improved significantly.
During this period of development, Ling Yi already had over 50,000 Tier 3 members under his command. In terms of Tier 3 experts, Ling Yi could already rival the various superpowers, not to mention the number of Tier 4 experts under his command.
In addition, the number of powers cooperating with Ling Yi had also increased. This was especially true with Frost Heaven's alliance. As a result, Ling Yi's influence on the eastern continent had increased significantly. It could be said that the current Ling Yi not only had the ability to protect himself, but he also had the confidence to expand his influence to the rest of the continent. Even the various superpowers would have to avoid him.
Hence, it wasn't impossible for Shi Feng to start collecting the Seven Treasures now. Moreover, to further improve Ling Yi's overall strength, he needed to collect all of the Seven Treasures.
After all, only by collecting all of the Seven Treasures would he be able to exhibit the Seven Treasures' true power and undergo a qualitative transformation. In fact, he could even suppress the Abyss.
If Ling Yi could obtain this power, even if the Five Great Super Guilds became his enemy, Ling Yi wouldn't have to fear the invasion of other worlds.
After Shifeng was done with all of this, he teleported to the Starlight Fortress. He intended to do his best to clear the Divine Dragon's Trial and secure Ling Yi's position on the western continent. Once the World Seal was removed and a war between worlds broke out, Ling Yi would have the confidence to protect himself against the invasion of other worlds.
Western continent, Starlight Fortress:
As the summoning array on the Summoning Tower's top floor lit up, Shifeng appeared in the Summoning Tower's main hall.
Standing at the top of the Summoning Tower, Shi Feng had a panoramic view of the Starlight Fortress.
Currently, the Starlight Fortress was no longer the same as when it had first opened. Not only were there a lot of players visiting the Starlight Fortress, but even the weakest among them was a Tier 3 player. There were even Tier 4 experts roaming the streets.
After a rough scan, Shifeng discovered that there were more than 10 Tier 4 experts in the Starlight Fortress. It was no exaggeration to say that the Starlight Fortress was even more powerful than Ling Yi's City.
If not for the Divine Dragon, even with Divine Tribe and the Nether Empire's assistance, they wouldn't have been able to suppress these players. Not to mention, there were also a large number of NPCs and NPC forces eyeing the Starlight Fortress covetously.
However, due to the Silver Divine Dragon's strength, these NPCs had no choice but to remain in the Starlight Fortress and wait for an opportunity to seize the fortress.
However, Shifeng didn't linger on the situation. Instead, he headed straight for the Summoning Tower's main hall, where the Silver Divine Dragon usually rested.
As for the Starlight Fortress, so long as he could clear the Divine Dragon's Trial, nobody would be able to touch the fortress. On the other hand, if he couldn't clear the Divine Dragon's Trial, he wouldn't be able to defend the Starlight Fortress.
After all, player forces weren't the only ones eyeing the Starlight Fortress. Powerful NPC forces were also eyeing the Starlight Fortress. Some of these NPC forces even had Tier 5 NPCs. They weren't existences current players could go up against. Only the Divine Dragon could suppress them.
Following which, Shi Feng entered the spacious Summoning Hall and found a miniature version of the Silver Divine Dragon, which was only a dozen or so meters tall, sleeping peacefully.
The Silver Divine Dragon had already reached Level 164, and its aura was much stronger than when it had first been released. It was also much stronger than the Dragons Shi Feng had slain in the ancient God's Domain.
In fact, just the aura the Silver Divine Dragon radiated was enough to make Shifeng struggle. If an ordinary Tier 4 player were here, they wouldn't even be able to approach the Silver Divine Dragon.
Seeing the fully recovered Silver Divine Dragon before him, Shifeng further realized that Divine Dragons were indeed Divine Dragons. They weren't existences that humans could afford to provoke. Even though the Silver Divine Dragon before him was only a Tier 4 Mythic monster, it could still contend with Tier 5 players and even defeat ordinary Tier 5 players.
In front of a Tier 4 Divine Dragon, Tier 4 players were no different from ants!
"Puny human, you've come." Saint-rons-l 'Abléc, who was lying in the Summoning Tower's main hall, looked at Shifeng with a hint of satisfaction in its golden eyes. "It seems you've made your preparations. Do you wish to challenge the trial?"
"Yes, Your Excellency Divine Dragon." Shifeng nodded.
Currently, he had reached a bottleneck in both his Mana Body and Concentration standards. He most likely wouldn't be able to make a breakthrough any time soon. If he wanted to improve his strength further, he'd have to obtain a Legendary Weapon or Equipment. However, that was obviously impossible. Every Legendary Weapon or Equipment couldn't be collected in a short time. Doing so would require a lot of manpower and time.
"Good! Since you have the confidence to challenge the trial, I will accept your challenge according to our previous agreement. However, let me make this clear. You only have three chances. If you fail to pass the trial after three tries, our contract will be terminated, "Saint-rons-l 'Abléc said as he stood up. The Silver Divine Dragon, Auerbeck, stood up and said, "As for your challenge, it is a trial that has been passed down for generations. Originally, it was designed specifically for us Dragons. However, since you wish to become my companion, you must pass the Tier 4 Infant Dragon's test at the very least!"
"A test for a Tier 4 Infant Dragon?" Shifeng was astonished.
He had long since known that the Divine Dragon's trial wouldn't be simple. In his opinion, players had to reach Tier 4 at the very least to pass it. However, it would seem that he had still underestimated the Divine Dragon's trial.
Tier 4 Infant Dragons were invincible existences of the same tier. They could even put up a fight against Tier 5 existences, yet this trial was designed specifically for Tier 4 Infant Dragons.
"I will send you to the Dragon God's Temple. Remember, you will not be able to use any external tools there. You will have to rely on your own strength to pass the trial. If you die inside, you will be sent back," Saint-rons-l 'Abléc said.
After saying so, Saint-rons-l 'Abléc began chanting an incantation in Draconic. Immediately, divine runes appeared around Shifeng's body. Five seconds later, countless golden divine runes wrapped around Shifeng. Instantly, Saint-rons-l' Abléc transformed into a streak of white light and disappeared from the Summoning Hall. It was as if the Shifeng had never been to the Summoning Hall in the first place. Only Saint-rons-l 'Abléc remained in the Summoning Hall, sleeping soundly.
Meanwhile, Shifeng's vision blurred. Suddenly, the countless streaks of light before him transformed into a towering temple.
This temple was over a thousand meters tall and resembled a massive mountain range. Even a Dragon would appear insignificant in front of this temple, let alone a human.
After Shifeng entered the 1,000-meter-tall temple, an ancient and deep voice suddenly echoed in Shifeng's mind.
"Human?"
"No, you're not human. How interesting. That brat, Auerbeck, actually sent you here to undergo a trial."
As the voice echoed in the temple, the phantom of a massive Dragon gradually appeared before Shifeng's eyes. This phantom was over a thousand meters tall, and as soon as it appeared, Shifeng felt stifled.
Shifeng even felt as if he were facing a Tier 6 God.
"It seems that Auerbeck thinks highly of you. He actually sent you here to undergo a trial," the phantom said as it looked at Shi Feng. Smiling, it continued, "According to the ancient contract, since Auerbeck has sent you here, you should prepare to undergo the trial. You might not be able to pass this trial, but as long as you complete it well, it will be of great help to you. You must cherish this opportunity!"
Saying so, Shi Feng noticed that the scenery before him had changed. A broken bridge appeared before him, and he stood on top of the bridge. Gray fog enveloped the bridge, and he could only vaguely make out a piece of land in the distance.
The instant Shifeng was enveloped by the gray fog, Shifeng was dumbfounded.
Eternal Energy!
No!
To be precise, it was Eternal Energy in the form of mist!
The instant the gray fog enveloped Shifeng, he felt refreshed like never before. Countless inspirations emerged from the depths of his mind, and he also gained a clearer understanding of the operation of the ambient Mana.
Following which, Shifeng heard a deep voice in his mind. It was none other than the phantom of the Dragon from before.
"Use the ambient Mana to repair the broken bridge. As long as you can repair one-third of the bridge, you will pass the trial. Remember, you only have three days. You can stay here for one more day for every 300 meters you repair. If you can't repair one-third of the bridge by the end of your time, you will fail the trial!"
As soon as the voice finished echoing in his mind, Shi Feng heard the sound of the broken bridge collapsing behind him. Turning around, he discovered that the bridge behind him was actually still collapsing. At this rate, it was obvious that the bridge wouldn't last three days. At most, it would only take a few more hours for the bridge to disappear completely, and he would fall into the endless darkness below …
