When everyone heard that they could enter the Titan Library as long as they passed the test, they all revealed joyful expressions. The magical class players, in particular, rubbed their hands in anticipation.
"Everyone, take a break. Adjust your condition before you take the test," Shifeng reminded.
Everyone only had one chance. If they failed, they would not be able to enter the library. They would have to wait until their next attempt. However, that next attempt would be much more difficult.
While Shi Feng was confident that he could bring everyone into the Holy City of Titan, he was not confident that he could bring everyone here.
The test to enter the Titan Library was relatively simple. After all, the most difficult part was reaching the Titan Library.
In the past, many independent players had chosen to challenge the Titan Library after obtaining the entry pass. However, entering the Titan Library was much more difficult than entering the Holy City of Titan. Very few players had ever succeeded. Even so, many players had never grown tired of the challenge.
This was all because players could learn super-rare Skills in the Titan Library.
A super-rare Skill was an important factor in increasing a player's combat power. Take Flame Burst for example. Such a Skill could be upgraded. Moreover, upgrading it did not require Proficiency Points, only EXP. At a critical moment, it could be used to turn the tides of a player's life.
"Your test is very simple. You are all Tier 1 classes. So long as you kill a Chieftain of the same level within a set time limit, you may enter the library. If you fail to do so within the time limit, you will fail," the Titan NP said as he waved his steel spear.
Suddenly, a golden magic array with a 50-yard radius appeared a short distance away from the spear.
"That is where your test will take place. If you wish to take the test, you may enter," the Titan NP said as he pointed at the golden magic array. The Titan NP pointed at the golden magic circle and then no longer spoke. He stood quietly in front of the closed iron gate.
After listening to the Titan NP's explanation, many of the players frowned.
Soloing a Chieftain of the same level was not something an ordinary expert could accomplish, not to mention doing so within a set time limit. Since the Titan NP had set a time limit, it meant that they would not be given much time.
"If you are ready, then enter," Shifeng said, shaking his head and laughing when he saw some of the players' depressed expressions.
In reality, Tier 1 players already had an advantage here. If a Tier 2 player were here, they would have to solo a High Lord of the same level. Compared to a High Lord, a Chieftain was much more appealing.
After saying so, the Shifeng entered the golden magic array, transforming into a streak of golden light and disappearing from everyone's sight.
When the others saw the Shifeng enter, they followed suit. Even if they couldn't win, they had to give it a try.
…
After players entered the golden magic array, they would be teleported to a special space.
As soon as Shifeng opened his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of a vast grassland. Over 200 meters away from him was a five-meter-tall, flaming rhinoceros.
[Crimson Flame Rhinoceros] (Elemental Creature, Chieftain) Level 43 HP 400,000/400,000
Compared to ordinary Chieftains, the monsters in the trial had much lower HP. The main purpose of the trial was to test whether players could contend with these monsters.
Just as Shifeng was about to walk over, the sound of a system notification reached his ears.
System: You have 10 minutes to end the battle. If you do not end the battle within the time limit, you will be automatically teleported out of this place.
"They actually have ten minutes? This sure is preferential treatment for Tier 1 players." Shifeng sighed inwardly.
Tier 2 players only had 20 minutes to complete the trial, yet the monster they faced was a High Lord.
Without wasting any time, Shifeng approached the Crimson Flame Rhinoceros.
When Shi Feng entered the 70-yard range, the Crimson Flame Rhinoceros discovered his existence. The rhinoceros let out a scorching breath as it stomped its hooves, viciously charging at Shi Feng. When it moved, the rhinoceros looked like a speeding truck.
Immediately, Shifeng used his Sure-kill Skill, Flame Burst. Shifting his feet slightly, he easily dodged the Crimson Flame Rhinoceros's charge. He then swung his greatsword at the charging Rhinoceros.
Peng!
The Crimson Flame Rhinoceros flew over a dozen yards back. When it slammed into the ground, it let out a pained cry as a damage of -28,167 appeared above its head.
Shifeng used Silent Steps and arrived behind the Crimson Flame Rhinoceros. He then swung his greatsword several times, each strike striking the same wound on the Rhinoceros.
When Flame Burst triggered the lightning effect, he dealt -67,846 damage to the Rhinoceros.
Before Shifeng could finish using Flame Burst, the Crimson Flame Rhinoceros transformed into a ball of fire and disappeared from the grassland. The Rhinoceros then dropped a Blacksteel Insignia. This insignia was the proof of entry to the library.
System: Congratulations! You have killed the Crimson Flame Rhinoceros. Time remaining: 9 minutes 52 seconds.
System: You will be teleported out of this place in five seconds. Please prepare yourselves.
Following which, Shifeng picked up the Blacksteel Insignia and quietly waited for the automatic teleportation.
The library's trial was meaningless to him. In terms of Strength, he had already surpassed a Chieftain of the same level. He could even contend with a Lord of the same level. Without using any techniques, he could easily kill a Chieftain of the same level in a head-on clash. Not to mention, the Crimson Flame Rhinoceros's HP had been weakened.
Many of the team members were still adjusting their state of mind before the Titan Library's entrance when a figure suddenly emerged from the golden magic array. They could not help but turn to look at the figure.
"What? It's only been a few seconds. How did someone come out so quickly?"
"Could it have been killed by the monsters inside?"
Those who had yet to enter the trial grew even more nervous.
However, when they saw that it was Shi Feng, those who had yet to take the test could not help gaping in shock.
"Isn't that too fast?!" No one doubted that Shifeng could clear the trial. Otherwise, not a single person in the team would have cleared the trial. Only, the speed at which he cleared the trial was a little too fast.
From the moment he entered to the moment he exited, less than twenty seconds had passed.
That was a Chieftain of the same level! A Boss from a Party Dungeon! Unlike the Common monsters they usually killed.
"You guys haven't entered yet?" Shifeng glanced at the team members. There were still over twenty players who had yet to enter the trial. These players were all Youlan's subordinates. He then consoled them, saying, "Relax; the trial isn't as difficult as you think. Although the monster inside is a Chieftain, its HP has been greatly reduced."
Shifeng's words rendered Youlan's subordinates speechless.
It was as if, in Shifeng's eyes, a Chieftain with reduced HP was a small animal that could be slaughtered anywhere in the fields.
Shortly after Shifeng exited the Titan Library, Fire Dance followed suit. Soon after, the rest of the team followed suit.
"Why are there so many people here before me?" When Bloodsucker exited the Titan Library, he saw several people standing before the iron gates. Even Violet Cloud, a Cleric, was among them. Bloodsucker could not help but be confused.
It was one thing for Shifeng, Fire Dance, and White Night to deal damage, but Violet Cloud was a Cleric. She was only a healer.
