Chapter 2340 – Tier 3 Sword King
This guy is seriously making more problems for us. Silent Rain has to go all-out just to deal with one Rock Giant. How can one person possibly tank two? Lin Ya’s complexion turned ugly when she saw the two Rock Giants charging at s.h.i.+ Feng. Does he need to behave this way even if he’s angry? He is basically making a joke of himself in front of Silent Rain!
She could understand why Silent Rain’s actions would enrage s.h.i.+ Feng. After all, Silent’s Rain’s demand for additional compensation because of s.h.i.+ Feng’s presence was essentially him saying that s.h.i.+ Feng was dead weight. However, s.h.i.+ Feng’s trying to prove himself by fighting two Rock Giants at once was simply foolish.
After all, inside this ruin, everyone on the team had different tasks. s.h.i.+ Feng’s main purpose lay beyond the Rock Guardians. At that point, once he took out his flying s.h.i.+p, Silent Rain would naturally shut up.
“Rain, let’s get ready as well. This kid shouldn’t be able to last long. If he dies, we’ll have to start all over again,” Uneducated Bull said, unsheathing the crystalline greatsword slung on his back when he saw the Rock Giants closing in on s.h.i.+ Feng.
Although they had yet to reach the starting point of their quest, so long as players died here, they would be automatically resurrected outside the cave and lose 5% of their EXP. Then, the team would have to suicide and leave the cave too. After all, s.h.i.+ Feng held the key to clearing the quest. Uneducated Bull did not wish to waste several more hours fighting through the cave system once more.
“No rush. This kid should be quite strong. Given how confident he is, he shouldn’t have any problems lasting four or five seconds. It won’t be too late for us to take action just when he is about to fall. That’ll let him know his own worth and save us a lot of negotiation later,” Silent Rain said as he shook his head and smiled.
“I guess you’re right.” Uneducated Bull nodded, as he felt Silent Rain’s words were reasonable.
Every expert possessed trump cards. The Rock Giants might be very powerful, but s.h.i.+ Feng should not have much of a problem holding his ground against the Grand Lords for a few seconds. In contrast, if Silent Rain and Uneducated Bull took action too soon, they would only devalue themselves.
While the two Sea G.o.d’s Direct Kin were coming to an agreement, the two Rock Giants had arrived before s.h.i.+ Feng and were smas.h.i.+ng their humongous fists down at him.
The Rock Giants were 10 meters tall, and their fists were large enough to cover a 10-yard radius. Let alone a Tier 2 Swordsman, even a Tier 2 a.s.sa.s.sin would not be able to dodge the Rock Giants’ attacks in time.
Meanwhile, even a small scratch from the attack of a Level 101 Grand Lord could reap a large chunk of a Tier 2 MT’s HP.
Facing the attacks of two Rock Giants simultaneously, a Tier 2 MT would have to activate a Lifesaving Skill to survive.
Just when everyone a.s.sumed that s.h.i.+ Feng would utilize a Lifesaving Skill to stop the two Rock Giants’ attacks, he suddenly unsheathed the Abyssal Blade and Killing Ray, then lightly brandished his swords at the two descending fists.
In the next moment, two deep, distinct cuts appeared on the Rock Giants’ knuckles. At the same time, the attack trajectories of both fists suddenly changed. In the end, the fists landed roughly 10 yards away from s.h.i.+ Feng, creating large craters in the ground.
Before the two Rock Giants could launch another round of attacks, s.h.i.+ Feng had already appeared behind their feet and executed a horizontal slash with Killing Ray.
Void Slas.h.!.+
Six slashes carrying the power of the void landed on the hamstrings of the two Rock Giants, each slash inflicting over -800,000 damage on the Grand Lords. The powerful Strength the slashes carried also forced the two Rock Giants to their knees, their offense coming to an abrupt halt.
Silence!
For a moment, as if time had frozen, silence filled the entire cavern. Whether it was Giant’s Heart’s members or Silent Rain and Uneducated Bull, everyone wore a dumbfounded expression. None of them could believe this scene was true.
Let alone having trouble against the two Rock Giants, s.h.i.+ Feng practically got the upper hand on the Grand Lords.
He had easily blocked the fists that they found extremely difficult to dodge. His Attack Speed was also so fast that they caught only a blurry glimpse of his blows. However, the most frightening part of his performance would still have to be the Strength he displayed.
“Impossible! This is definitely impossible!” Silent Rain blurted out his thoughts as he watched s.h.i.+ Feng repelling the Rock Giants’ attacks time after time. “How can a player have so much Strength?!”
The Strength of Uneducated Bull, who was a Sea G.o.d’s Direct Kin and a Berserker, was unrivaled in the Sea G.o.d’s Realm, yet even he could just barely deflect the attack of one Rock Giant.
On the other hand, s.h.i.+ Feng, who wasn’t even a Sea G.o.d’s Kin, was actually suppressing the two Rock Giants all by himself. This feat completely shattered Silent Rain’s world view.
Tier 3!” White Autumn exclaimed. Although he found this unbelievable, it was also the most plausible answer he could come up with. “He should be a Tier 3 Sword King!”
Upon hearing the words “Tier 3 Sword King,” unprecedented shock filled everyone’s heart.
Tier 2 cla.s.ses were commonplace in G.o.d’s Domain, especially among NPCs. Only after reaching Tier 3 would one be considered a powerhouse in G.o.d’s Domain and receive the acknowledgment of NPCs. A Tier 3 cla.s.s was one of the requirements for becoming the lord of a city. This was also the goal that players like themselves were striving toward.
However, even with their current extraordinary strength, they were still not confident of completing their Tier 3 Promotion Quests. After all, their Legacies were very special. This, in turn, meant their Tier 3 Promotion Quests were much more difficult than the Promotion Quest of ordinary players. Hence, they needed to make plenty of preparations.
Nevertheless, while they were still suffering a headache over their Tier 3 Promotion Quests, s.h.i.+ Feng had actually become a Tier 3 Sword King already!
Who is he? Lin Ya’s heart churned with confusion as she gazed at s.h.i.+ Feng.
She did not believe that a small Guild like Zero Wing could nurture a Tier 3 powerhouse at this stage of the game. After all, none of the various superpowers had a Tier 3 powerhouse yet. Moreover, judging by s.h.i.+ Feng’s performance, he definitely wasn’t your average Tier 3 powerhouse.
When she thought back to how she had tagged along with her Guild’s four peak experts to invite s.h.i.+ Feng in order to show him how strong Giant’s Heart was, she could not help but find her actions laughable.
“Rain, it seems you’ve bitten off more than you can chew this time,” Uneducated Bull said in pity. “With his current combat power, even if both of us go at him together, we won’t last more than ten seconds against him.”
Experts of their caliber understood very clearly just how powerful a Tier 3 cla.s.s was. The difference between Tier 2 and Tier 3 wasn’t limited to Basic Attributes. Instead, the differences in physique and reaction speed were also ma.s.sive. The degree of control a Tier 3 player could potentially exert on their bodies was far superior to that of a Tier 2 player.
Meanwhile, Silent Rain’s complexion also turned extremely ugly at this sight. He had never imagined that such a situation would occur. Originally, he had thought that he could use s.h.i.+ Feng as an excuse to earn a few more benefits from Giant’s Heart. However, he ended up accidentally stroking the whiskers of a tiger instead.
Silent Rain was not afraid of Giant’s Heart. After all, he was practically invincible in the Sea G.o.d’s Realm. Unless Giant’s Heart was willing to dispatch a large force to hunt him down, the Guild could hardly do anything against him. However, that was not the case for s.h.i.+ Feng. s.h.i.+ Feng alone would be more than capable of killing him. With the help of a tracking tool, the Swordsman could kill him out in the fields any time he wanted to.
“Aren’t you going to open the doors yet?” s.h.i.+ Feng prompted White Autumn. He had been fighting for quite some time now, but White Autumn and the others still hadn’t taken a single step toward the temple’s doors.
“Now! We’ll open them now!” White Autumn snapped out of his daze after hearing s.h.i.+ Feng’s reminder. He then hurriedly had everyone else on the team move to open the temple’s tightly shut doors.
Due to s.h.i.+ Feng’s presence, White Autumn and the others had no problem opening the temple doors. They did not have to worry about the Rock Giants’ attacks at all and could focus fully on removing the doors’ seal. In the end, they took only 25 seconds to open the temple doors completely.
After seeing White Autumn and the others enter the temple, s.h.i.+ Feng executed Void Slash and sent the two Rock Giants stumbling back. He then dashed straight for the temple’s entrance and disappeared from the dimly lit cavern.
