As time passed, Shifeng's mind raced.
Although it seemed like a simple choice, there were many problems involved.
This test was used to determine a player's understanding of themselves.
If a player did not have a clear understanding of themselves, they might end up dying because the monster they chose was too powerful. On the other hand, if the monster they chose was too weak, they might not be able to complete the quest due to insufficient time.
In other words, the clearer a player's understanding of their own strength, the more benefits they could obtain.
Although Shifeng's equipment was Fragmented Legendary, with Skills such as Heavenly Dragon's Power and Blade Liberation, he had a high chance of killing a Lord of the same level within a short time. However, these Skills were not meant for dealing with a group of Lord ranked monsters. Hence, his choice was not easy.
System: You have 30 seconds to consider. Please make your choice as soon as possible.
"I choose one Lord and nine Chieftains," Shifeng finally said after pondering for a long time.
System: Opponent confirmed. Based on your analysis of combat power, difficulty has been determined as A. Upon victory, you will obtain a key to open a Dark-Gold Shrine. Do you wish to make this choice?
"Dark-Gold Shrine?" Shifeng suddenly felt that something was amiss. Hurriedly, he said, "I'll choose two Lords and eight Chieftains."
His quest was Epic rank. If he wanted to obtain the Bible of Darkness, it was obvious that a Dark-Gold Shrine would not be able to do so. He had to reach Epic rank first. Otherwise, even if he won this battle, he would fail his quest.

"F * ck. Two Lords aren't S rank? Shifeng inwardly cursed. "I'll choose three Lords and seven Chieftains."
Two Lord ranked monsters. To Shifeng, this was already his limit. His chances of winning were no more than 50%. According to Shifeng's estimates, his chances of winning against three Lords were less than 20%. After all, the stacking of Lords was not as simple as one plus one.

"I'm sure!" The Shifeng gritted his teeth. "Let's hope that the three Lord-tier monsters' formation isn't that good."
A short moment later, ten monsters emerged from the altar. Three of them were Lords, while the other seven were Chieftains. These monsters were all humanoid combat puppets. They were about the same size as humans, but their Attributes were far superior to the Shifeng's.
Golden Puppet. [Lord] Level 32 HP 1,600,000/1,600,000
Silver Puppet, Leader rank. Level 32 HP 550,000/550,000
"My luck isn't bad. These puppets are all close-combat. His HP isn't high either. If we put some distance between us, we might be able to put up a fight. "Shifeng breathed a sigh of relief.
As the battle began. The ten puppets were activated one after another, moving towards Xiang Shifeng step by step. Although the Shifeng was not as agile as living creatures, the Shifeng did not dare be careless. Immediately, he activated Heavenly Dragon's Power, increasing his Strength by 100% and his Defense and HP by 300%. Instantly, the Shifeng's HP rose to over 30,000.
A Lord was a Lord. They were not easy to deal with.
Just as Shifeng activated Heavenly Dragon's Power, the combat puppets charged towards him. Their speed was much faster than ordinary Chieftains and Lords.
In the blink of an eye, the Silver Puppet crossed the distance of 50 yards between them. The spears in the Silver Puppet's hands pierced towards Xiang Shifeng. Moreover, the Golden Puppet also unsheathed the two swords on its back, following closely behind.
Without hesitation, Shifeng activated the Ice-Blue Devil Flame and Black Emperor, no longer holding back. Dark-blue flames enveloped Shifeng's entire body, increasing his fire-type and ice-type damage by 40%. Immediately, he used Skywheel Sword, sealing off the ten combat puppets' range of movement. He then followed up with Firestorm.
The soaring Ice-Blue Devil Flame devoured the ten combat puppets, causing over -20,000 damage to each of them. When it triggered a critical hit, it dealt over -40,000 damage. The flame lasted for five seconds, instantly removing over -100,000 HP from the combat puppets. The frightening power of large-scale destruction spells was undeniable.
Meanwhile, Shifeng had also accumulated 30 stacks of Death Energy.
"I'll get rid of you first."
Shifeng then took out a bottle of Hundred Berry Wine from his bag, downing the entire bottle in one gulp. Instantly, his compatibility with his Skills increased by a large margin. He then took a step forward, arriving before a Silver Puppet with less than 300,000 HP. He then used Phantom Kill and Flame Burst.
Twenty-four consecutive kills!
Twenty-four sword lights illuminated the entire altar. Following which, the Silver Puppet also disappeared.
Although Shi Feng had killed one Silver Puppet, the remaining six Silver Puppets charged at him. There were even three Golden Puppets attacking him from both sides.
After using his Berserk Skill, Shifeng used Thunder Flame Explosion to reduce the combat puppets' Movement Speed and deal over -10,000 damage. Due to the increase in compatibility, Thunder Flame Explosion's Completion Rate barely reached 95%. It could reduce the combat puppets' Movement Speed for over ten seconds. Following which, Shifeng activated the Aura of Wind and his doppelganger and turned to flee.
Facing two Lords simultaneously was already enough to overwhelm Shifeng, not to mention three Lords and six Chieftains.
With the Aura of Wind's Movement Speed and Thunder Flame Explosion's Movement Speed Reduction, the Silver Puppets could not catch up to him at all. Even the Golden Puppets' Movement Speed would abruptly decrease due to their attacks on Shifeng, increasing the distance between them and Shifeng.
Meanwhile, Shifeng activated Nine Dragons Slash, the twelve Abyssal Phantoms continuously attacking the distant Silver Puppets. From time to time, he would also use the Blazing Meteor to attack. Although his damage was not as high as the Abyssal Blade's, each attack still consumed a significant amount of his Movement Speed. When he was close enough, he would use Thundering Flash to increase the Damage Amplification effect.
Shifeng continuously accumulated Death Energy to reduce the DPS of Thunder Flame Explosion and Thundering Flash. Among them, Flame Burst reduced the DPS by the most.
In this manner, Shi Feng reduced the Movement Speed while eliminating the Silver Puppets. From time to time, he would use Flame Burst to instantly kill the remaining Silver Puppets.
In less than two minutes, all of the Silver Puppets were annihilated, leaving only three Golden Puppets.
These three Golden Puppets were inseparable. Shi Feng simply could not find an opportunity to attack them one on one. Moreover, after such a long battle, the three Golden Puppets had already recovered to full HP.
Even if Shifeng activated Wind Rider and could attack one of the Golden Puppets, the remaining two Golden Puppets would desperately use their swords to pin him down. As a result, Shifeng did not dare to stay close to the Golden Puppets for long.
"Damn it! Although the Golden Puppets do not have any skills, the three Golden Puppets are like a single entity. They can both attack and defend. There is simply no chance to kill any of them one on one."
Shifeng floated in midair, his brows tightly knitted together.
The three Golden Puppets were simply too powerful when working together. Once Heavenly Dragon's Power's duration ran out, it would be difficult to fight a battle of attrition.
"Do I have no choice but to use it now?" Shifeng took out an aqua-blue Magic Scroll from his bag, his heart filled with reluctance.
This was his greatest trump card. Even when dealing with the Great Lord Noya, he had not considered using it.
