The instant the countdown ended …
Shifeng leaned forward and bent his legs. Like a cheetah, he suddenly exerted his strength and charged out of the starting line.
Xiu!
Shifeng had already run three yards away when the sound of a gun rang out, shooting at the starting line.
Following which, another burst of gunfire rang out. A total of six bullets shot out, sealing off Shifeng's path of advance. Meanwhile, Shifeng's body was covered with the green predicted trajectories of the bullets. If his reaction was not fast enough, he would be turned into a sieve.
Seeing the bullets flying towards him, Shifeng stepped to the side, dodging nearly one yard to the right, dodging the second round of bullets. He then charged forward once more.
Although the three Gnomes continuously aimed and fired back and forth, causing bullet casings to continuously fall to the ground, Shifeng, who was as agile as a cheetah, seemed to dominate the bullets. He was always able to dodge the next round of bullets. When the next round of bullets arrived, he would take a few more steps forward.
"It can't be, right? He already crossed ten yards so quickly." The male Cleric was shocked when he saw Shifeng cross the ten-yard line in less than five seconds. He was twice as fast as his big brother, Stabbing Heart.
Stabbing Heart, who stood to the side, remained silent as he quietly watched Shifeng advance.
Stabbing Heart originally thought that Shifeng was a newbie who did not even know who he was, and that he was here to seek entertainment. However, his previous performance was so swift and precise, as if he was a veteran who had honed his skills in the arena for many years. Every movement was simple and efficient. It was not something an ordinary newbie could accomplish. Even Stabbing Heart, who had experienced many challenges, felt that he could not dodge any better.
However, Stabbing Heart had the pride of an expert. He did not believe that Shifeng was stronger than him. He explained, "Maybe this newbie is an athlete or has practiced martial arts before, which is why he is so nimble. However, once he crosses fifteen yards, the Gnomes' attack pattern will change. At that time, he will definitely not be able to hold on."
"Big Brother is right. If he doesn't even know about us, the Assassin's Alliance, he definitely isn't an expert. Once he crosses fifteen yards, he will definitely be shocked and turn into a hornet's nest."
"Yeah. Once he crosses fifteen yards, the number of bullets fired will increase to twelve. The bullets will no longer be focused on players, and the range of the bullets will be very wide. Dodging left and right will definitely not work."
The other members of the Union of Assassins expressed their agreement. After all, they had seen the same challenge seven or eight times.
During Stabbing Heart's first attempt, he had passed the 15-yard mark. However, after several attempts, he had only managed to reach the 20-yard mark. From this, one could see just how difficult the 15-yard mark was.
"He passed the 15-yard mark," a member of the Union of Assassins said.
Stabbing Heart and the others immediately focused their gazes on the Shifeng. They wanted to see how the Shifeng would react.
In the arena, after the Shifeng stepped out of the 15-yard line, the three Goblins were extremely angry. They began to fire wildly, no longer focusing on aiming.
Suddenly, a large area of Shifeng's vision was covered by bullets, and only three bullets could hit the Shifeng. As long as one of them hit, the game would be over.
"Are you finally starting to act shamelessly?" Shifeng smiled faintly as he drew his Beginner Sword and charged towards the bullets.
In Shi Feng's previous life, as the leader of Shadow, Shifeng had been busy with work and leveling up. He simply did not have the time to play the Challenge Competition. However, he had watched quite a few matches, so he had a clear understanding of the Challenge Competition. He knew that the Goblins would change their attack patterns after reaching the 15-yard mark.
The 15-yard mark in the Black Market Challenge Competition could be said to be the standard to determine a player's control techniques. Only by passing the 15-yard mark with the Bronze Prize could a player be considered to have crossed the threshold of physical control techniques. However, the majority of players would need two or three months to reach this threshold. A small number of players would pass the test within a month. Only an extremely small number of experts could pass the test in one try. Stabbing Heart was one of these extremely small number of experts.
Just as the three bullets were about to hit Shifeng's head, chest, and arm.
"This brat really can't do it. There are too many bullets and they're too scattered. He has already forgotten to dodge and is still foolishly charging forward." Stabbing Heart was simply too foolish when he saw Shifeng charging straight at the bullets. Did he really think that the challenge would continue even if he was hit by one or two bullets?
At this moment, Shifeng tilted his head and brandished his Beginner Sword. A white light flashed.
Peng!
The Beginner Sword was perfectly brandished, easily deflecting the bullet aimed at his chest, creating a small spark.
Just like that, Shifeng easily deflected the three dangerous bullets, advancing another distance.
However, the three Gnomes had no intention of stopping. The muskets in their hands seemed to have transformed into a machine gun. The tongues of fire were incessant, and the interval between each round of shots was extremely short. In the blink of an eye, Shifeng had to face another five bullets. Moreover, bullets were all around him, preventing him from dodging. Dang!
Dang! Dang!
Dang! Shifeng quickly brandished his Beginner Sword to deflect the unavoidable bullets. At the same time, he moved the parts of his body that were about to be hit, allowing the bullets to graze his body. In fact, Shifeng could even hear the sound of bullets piercing through the air.
In a short three seconds, Shifeng had crossed the 20-yard mark. He was only 10 yards away from the finish line.
"Holy shit! Bro, is this brat even human? He can actually use his sword to deflect the incoming bullets. "The male Cleric's eyes widened in shock. The shock that Shifeng brought to him was indescribable.
Although he knew the trajectory of the bullets, blocking them was not something that could be done just by saying it. This required extremely precise judgment and skill. The error in doing so could be said to be hair-raising.
Stabbing Heart was suddenly speechless. Using a weapon to deflect bullets was simply like walking on a tightrope. A moment of carelessness and one would fall into a bottomless abyss. However, Shifeng did not tire of it. He blocked the incoming bullets again and again. As for the other bullets, it was as if they had a life of their own, avoiding Shifeng's body as they flew past.
"Bro, that Swordsman has already crossed the 25-yard mark. He will definitely pass the finish line this time." The male Cleric watched as Shifeng moved forward as if he was dancing. Sparks would occasionally appear in front of him. His mind was in complete chaos.
"I have eyes. I don't need you to remind me." Stabbing Heart was also deeply attracted by Shifeng's movements.
The instant Shifeng crossed the 25-yard mark …
"Go to hell, challenger." One of the Gnomes at the finish line laughed excitedly. He then took out a repeating rifle from his clothes and aimed at Shifeng, firing a volley of bullets.
Suddenly, the number of bullets per round increased to 24. Moreover, the bullets were fired at an extremely short distance of 5 yards, making it impossible for players to dodge.
"Crap, this is cheating!" Stabbing Heart could not help but roar.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of the other players rose to their throats. They all cursed the Gnomes for their shamelessness.
Facing such a dense hail of bullets, Shifeng also became serious for the first time. Although he had long since known that the attack pattern would change once more at the 25-yard mark, he still felt nervous when facing so many bullets head-on.
Shifeng bent his knees and leaped like a cheetah, piercing through the least dense hail of bullets, greatly reducing the surface area of the bullets. Following which, he gripped his Novice Sword tightly and brandished it madly. It was as if four white lights flashed at the same time.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
After a burst of sparks, Shifeng pierced through the storm-like hail of bullets.
The instant he landed, he used his other hand to support himself. Exerting strength, he stood up again and dashed past the finish line like a bolt of lightning.
He had spent a total of 14 seconds, breaking the preset record for the Bronze Prize by 18 seconds.
"Ugh, I'm really not used to this weak body." Shifeng, who had passed the finish line, sighed slightly. If he had a physique over Level 100, executing four consecutive sword strikes would be a piece of cake. It would not be as tiring as it was now.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us cheer and congratulate this Swordsman for successfully completing his challenge," the Gnome administrator announced loudly.
System: You are the first player to clear the Bronze Prize challenge and break the record. Rewarding 1 Silver Coin and the Swordsman skill, Thundering Flash.
"What?! The reward is actually the super-rare skill, Thundering Flash?! This is a skill that even Level 100-plus Swordsmen can't obtain!" Shifeng thought that he was hallucinating. However, when he saw that the Skill Book in his bag was indeed Thundering Flash, he was still shocked.
[Thundering Flash] (Action-type) Requires: Sword Quickly unleash three sword light attacks at a distance of 10 * 2 yards in front of the user. Each attack deals 130% damage. At the same time, it carries an additional damage amplification, increasing the damage of the next attack by 20%. Cooldown: 30 seconds
Since he had obtained the skill, he immediately learned it.
The Swordsman class originally focused on single-target damage skills. They did not have any powerful AOE skills. Thundering Flash could be said to be one of the few powerful AOE skills available to Swordsmen. If he could learn it during the early stages of the game, he would definitely surpass all other Swordsmen by a large margin.
After learning Thundering Flash, Shifeng finally felt that he had some semblance of a Swordsman.
"You guys have fun. I'm leaving. Don't forget about my 50 Copper," Shifeng looked at the stupefied Stabbing Heart. After saying goodbye, he left the Black Market.
Stabbing Heart indifferently nodded his head.
"Big Brother Stabbing Heart, he left. Moreover, he took away the reward. Should we chase after him?" the male Cleric asked.
Only after Shifeng left did Stabbing Heart recover from his shock. He glared at the male Cleric, scolding, "Are you an idiot? You can't wait to curry favor with such an expert Swordsman. Aren't you just seeking death by going against him? "
"No, I have to report this matter to the Guild Leader. Fortunately, I added him as a friend. His name is Ye Feng? I've actually never heard of such an expert Swordsman before. Could he be a swordsman expert in disguise? " Stabbing Heart admitted that he could not accomplish such a feat. Shifeng was able to clear the Challenge so beautifully, especially the first round of attacks after 25 yards. It was practically cheating. How could players block or dodge such attacks? However, Shifeng had done it.
Within the Trade Area, Shifeng found the Potioneering Master Kevin. He spent 120 Copper to purchase 20 Exploding Berries. In an instant, Shifeng's Wealth had shrunk by a large amount, leaving him with only 30 Copper.
However, for the sake of leveling up like a rocket, he did not mind spending it.
Carrying the Exploding Berries, Shifeng left Red Leaf Town, running towards the west.
Currently, all the players were Level 0, and they were all killing Level 0 monsters outside of Red Leaf Town. However, there were also some players with decent techniques that formed parties to kill Level 1 Wolf Cubs. The Warriors stood at the front, the ranged players dealt damage, and the healers healed. They fought in an orderly manner. Although the Experience was split among several people, their efficiency was very high, and there were very few people stealing kills.
However, Shifeng did not intend to steal kills from others. They directly ran past the Level 1 monster area, and some ran past the Level 3 monster area. They ran all the way to the Level 5 monster area, Red Leaf Forest. Not a single player would come here.
At the current stage of God's Domain, not a single player dared to challenge a Level 5 monster. With the suppression of levels, the abundance of HP, and the great disparity in Attack Power, a Level 5 monster could easily crush a Level 1 player. Even a 6-man party would not be able to defeat a Level 5 monster.
