Chapter 608 – Birth of a New Second-Tier City
What did he do?! Wasn’t the Star Cl.u.s.ter Barrier said to be infallible even against Tier 6 G.o.ds?!
Luo Tianhao, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, couldn’t help but gape in shock when he saw the fragmented stars and magic arrays in the sky. He simply couldn’t comprehend what just happened.
This was the Star Cl.u.s.ter Barrier they were talking about!
It was a great grandmaster barrier known for being effective against G.o.ds!
Of all the past instances where the Star Cl.u.s.ter Barrier had been deployed in a city battle, not once did it meet with failure. Yet, now, less than five seconds after this supposedly infallible magic barrier was deployed, it had met its end at a swing of s.h.i.+ Feng’s sword…
…
At this moment, Luo Tianhao wasn’t the only one stupefied by this development. Seated at Star Lake City’s spectator stands, Xia Qingying and Mu Huangwu similarly couldn’t believe their eyes.
The Star Cl.u.s.ter Barrier might be commonly used in the Greater G.o.d’s Domain, but it remained a trump card the various powers used to raid World Bosses.
So long as the Star Cl.u.s.ter Barrier was deployed, even Tier 6 G.o.ds could be killed!
Yet, now, this almighty barrier had failed to last even one move from s.h.i.+ Feng?
…
“Guild Leader?”
When Fire Dance, who had been having difficulty fending off the attacks of Skystar’s aces, saw the shattered Star Cl.u.s.ter Barrier, she couldn’t help but look at s.h.i.+ Feng with widened eyes. At this moment, she felt as if this was the first time she was getting to know s.h.i.+ Feng. Or, more specifically, Zero Wing.
As a former vice commander of Silver Frost City, Fire Dance was very knowledgeable regarding the Star Cl.u.s.ter Barrier’s capabilities. She had also seen records of the barrier in action when browsing through Silver Frost City’s archives.
So long as the Star Cl.u.s.ter Barrier was deployed in a city battle, the battle would become a one-sided slaughter unless the opponent could similarly deploy a great grandmaster barrier. Either that or if the opposing side had a one-star great grandmaster capable of materializing a Divine Artifact.
However, Fire Dance was certain that s.h.i.+ Feng was neither in possession of a Divine Artifact nor was he a one-star great grandmaster.
…
“Qingying! Who is he?!” After recovering his senses, Mu Huangwu promptly turned toward Xia Qingying, his eyes filled with excitement and desire. “That mana usage! It’s simply unheard of! That attack could probably rival the attacks of Divine Artifact-wielding Taboos already!”
Ordinary experts might not be able to tell exactly how powerful s.h.i.+ Feng’s attack was, but as a three-star mental strength grandmaster and a Tier 6 expert who had mastered five Basic Laws and one Advanced Law, Mu Huangwu knew exactly how frightening it was.
s.h.i.+ Feng’s utilization of the Law of s.p.a.ce in his attack had reached an incredible extent. This, in turn, allowed his mana to experience a qualitative improvement, going beyond the standard of Tier 6 G.o.ds and rivaling the standard of Ancient G.o.ds!
Ancient G.o.ds!
These were existences who had once coexisted with Primordial G.o.ds before the latter disappeared in the Ancient Mythical Era. They possessed strength that far surpa.s.sed the Tier 6 G.o.ds of modern times, and the various powers and many apex experts of the Greater G.o.d’s Domain could only hope to chase after their footsteps.
Only players wielding Divine Artifacts could hope to fight against Ancient G.o.ds in the current age of G.o.d’s Domain. As for everyone else, they weren’t even qualified to stand before an Ancient G.o.d.
Yet, despite being in the body of a Tier 5 player, s.h.i.+ Feng could exhibit the power of an Ancient G.o.d. How could Mu Huangwu not find this exciting?
“Who is he?” When Xia Qingying heard Mu Huangwu’s question, she couldn’t help but wryly smile as she looked at s.h.i.+ Feng as if she was looking at a stranger. “I might have known him in the past, but now… I truly have no idea who he is.”
If it was before today, she would have dared to say that she already knew everything there was to know about s.h.i.+ Feng. After all, way back when she first established a partners.h.i.+p with s.h.i.+ Feng, she had already conducted a thorough investigation into his background.
Before establis.h.i.+ng Zero Wing, s.h.i.+ Feng was merely the dismissed Guild Leader of a second-rate Guild called Shadow. Although he was somewhat famous in Jin Hai City and known by others as the Sword Magician, he had only been a Level 200, Tier 3 Sword King in G.o.d’s Domain during his peak.
Even in their homeworld, s.h.i.+ Feng would be considered a n.o.body in their homeworld, let alone the Greater G.o.d’s Domain. Not even the executives of first-rate Guilds would take a second look at him, much less individuals like herself and Mu Huangwu.
Yet, now, the n.o.body who used to be no more than a Level 200, Tier 3 Sword King in their homeworld had become an expert capable of shattering the Star Cl.u.s.ter Barrier with one attack…
Even if she were to provide concrete evidence detailing s.h.i.+ Feng’s past, she highly doubted Mu Huangwu would believe a single word.
“Are you trying to mess with me, Qingying?” Mu Huangwu refused to believe Xia Qingying’s words. “I know he is most certainly of extraordinary origins, but I a.s.sure you I won’t cross any boundaries. I simply want to know who he is.”
“You just want to know who he is? That’s simple.” In her sincerest tone, Xia Qingying said, “He is Zero Wings’ Acting Guild Leader.”
“…” Looking at Xia Qingying, Mu Huangwu suddenly felt that the little girl was getting more and more mischievous.
…
Mu Huangwu wasn’t the only one curious about s.h.i.+ Feng’s ident.i.ty. Whether it was the fifteen cities or Luo Tianhao, they were all curious about it.
Anyone capable of surviving in a third-tier city was not a fool. Although many people failed to understand how s.h.i.+ Feng’s attack managed to accomplish what it did, they still understood that anyone capable of destroying a great grandmaster barrier in one attack couldn’t possibly be an ordinary person.
“Frost, you’ve been telling me to blindly trust our little friend without telling me his ident.i.ty all this time. Can you tell me who he is now?” Feng Yiqing asked as he looked at s.h.i.+ Feng’s image, his eyes filled with burning antic.i.p.ation.
Initially, even when Red Frost continuously tried to persuade him and put her reputation on the line, he still had his doubts about clas.h.i.+ng against the fifteen cities. If not for Red Frost saying that there was a chance he could take a step forward and become a true great grandmaster, he would have never staked the entire Star Lake City on s.h.i.+ Feng.
However, after witnessing s.h.i.+ Feng’s mind-blowing sword strike, Feng Yiqing knew he had made the right decision.
An Ancient G.o.d!
s.h.i.+ Feng most definitely shared an intricate connection with the near-extinct Ancient G.o.ds. Otherwise, there was no way he could exhibit the power of Taboos.
If he could master even a fraction of that power, it would no longer be a dream for him to become a great grandmaster in his lifetime.
“Him?” Seeing Feng Yiqing’s eager expression, Red Frost faintly smiled and said, “Isn’t he Zero Wing’s Acting Guild Leader?”
“You… You little…” Feng Yiqing couldn’t help but be exasperated by Red Frost’s response. “Fine. Don’t tell me, then. In any case, I’ll have plenty of opportunities to get to know this young man.”
“That’s true.” Red Frost smirked as she returned her gaze to s.h.i.+ Feng’s image.
…
With the destruction of the Star Cl.u.s.ter Barrier, the outcome of the city battle was as good as decided. Even the subsequent Tier 4 match was no longer of any consequence.
This was because everyone knew that a new second-tier city would be born today, and that city would be none other than Star Lake City!
