Chapter 1019 – Tier 7 Combat Power
Twilight Battle Arena, top-floor arena:
“Black Flame won?”
“Am I hallucinating? Why does the ring look bisected?”
“A one-hit kill! Is this the strength of someone in the Divine Glory List’s top ten?”
The players watching the duel gaped at the bandaged young man’s corpse, shocked by Shi Feng’s display of strength.
Everyone here had witnessed the strength of the bandaged young man from Demon’s Gate. Even before clashing with Zero Wing’s Fervent Samsara, he had several duels with sixth-floor experts and hadn’t lost a single HP.
Yet, the bandaged young man had failed to block even one move from Shi Feng. They couldn’t even begin to imagine how strong Shi Feng was.
…
While the rest of the arena was in an uproar, over at the Seven Luminaries Alliance’s VIP seating area…
“That person couldn’t even withstand a single blow?” Verdant Rainbow muttered, staring at Soul Hunter’s corpse in disbelief. “Wasn’t he supposed to be equipped with the Second Great Divine Set? Could it be a fake?”
No other player or power in the human race’s Greater God’s Domain better understood the Six Great Divine Sets than the Seven Luminaries Alliance. Hence, Verdant Rainbow knew that once a Tier 6 player equipped one of the Six Great Divine Sets, so long as they could fully access its potential, they could exhibit strength rivaling that of Primordial Gods of the same level.
Not to mention, Soul Hunter was a sixth-floor expert; the Second Great Divine Set should shine even more in his hands than in the hands of other Tier 6 players.
Although Verdant Rainbow could tell that Shi Feng’s attack had undoubtedly reached the Tier 7 standard, it shouldn’t have been enough to one-shot Soul Hunter. Under normal circumstances, she’d consider it a miracle if Shi Feng could even hold his ground against Soul Hunter using such an attack. After all, if Soul Hunter was equipped with the Second Great Divine Set and could access its full potential, his Strength Attribute should rival that of Primordial Gods of the same level. After including his advantage in combat standards, he shouldn’t have gotten one-shotted by Shi Feng.
Thus, this bizarre situation led Verdant Rainbow to question the authenticity of Soul Hunter’s Blood Drinker Set.
“If that were the case, Fervent Samsara wouldn’t have been defeated so quickly,” Elder Martial said, shaking his head. Then, as he watched Shi Feng sheath the Shadow Incinerator, he continued sternly, “Soul Hunter’s Blood Drinker Set is the real deal, but it seems that he has yet to fully unlock its potential. Nevertheless, his Basic Attributes should still be slightly superior to those of the average Divine Set user. The fact that he still got one-shotted must mean Black Flame is a bona fide Tier 7 combatant[1]!”
“A bona fide Tier 7 combatant?” At Elder Martial’s firm assessment, Verdant Rainbow couldn’t help but focus on Shi Feng, her fists clenched and her eyes wide with shock and envy.
Quite a few Divine Set users could launch attacks rivaling those of Primordial Gods of the same level. Even so, they couldn’t be considered Tier 7 combatants. This was because most could only launch one-off attacks that reached the Primordial God standard.
To be considered a Tier 7 combatant, players had to be able to fight Primordial Gods of the same level in a direct confrontation. It wasn’t enough to just be able to launch one-off attacks that reached the Primordial God standard.
Currently, only a handful of individuals across the three races could be considered a Tier 7 combatant. Hence, Verdant Rainbow’s reaction to Shi Feng’s achievement was only natural.
…
Over at Zero Wing’s VIP seating area, Zero Wing’s members rejoiced when they saw Soul Hunter getting one-shotted.
“The Guild Leader is simply incredible! This outcome must’ve dumbfounded those Demon’s Gate bastards!” Fervent Samsara laughed as he looked at Demon’s Gate’s silent seating area.
“I’d expect no less! After all, this is a Tier 7 combatant we’re talking about!” Hidden Soul said, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the space within the ring that remained shattered even now. “Out of the three races, only royal powers have such experts thus far!”
After the three races established safe routes into the Eternal Realm, the number of experts capable of launching attacks that rivaled those of Primordial Gods had increased significantly. As a result, only powers with bona fide Tier 7 combatants would have any true sway in the current Eternal Realm.
Although the gap between Tier 7 combatants and experts capable of launching one or two Tier 7 attacks wasn’t exactly insurmountable, the latter would still need to work in groups of ten or more to have a fighting chance against a Tier 7 combatant.
Even the royal powers of the three races did not have many players capable of launching Tier 7 attacks, as such players typically had to be equipped with a Divine Set and have sixth-floor combat standards. Thus, having even one Tier 7 combatant would be enough to suppress a royal power in the Eternal Realm.
While Zero Wing’s members were celebrating, the bandaged young man who had resurrected outside the ring glared at Shi Feng with fear and anger in his eyes. He never imagined Shi Feng would be strong to such an extent.
“Black Flame, you win this time! But don’t think this is over! It won’t be long before I crush you under my feet!” Soul Hunter barked before swiftly exiting the arena.
After Soul Hunter left, Hidden Soul, Blackie, and the others approached Shi Feng.
“These people from Demon’s Gate are arrogant as always. If not for Rain and Snow being occupied, we wouldn’t necessarily have lost the first two matches,” Blackie said, disgruntled by Soul Hunter’s attitude.
“Indeed. Rain and Snow should be able to win against him,” Hidden Soul said, nodding.
After Shi Feng, the strongest players in Zero Wing were Phoenix Rain and Gentle Snow. Although their equipment was vastly inferior to Soul Hunter’s, they wielded extraordinarily powerful Skills and Spells. Hence, even if Soul Hunter was equipped with the Blood Drinker Set, Phoenix Rain and Gentle Snow would still have a solid chance of beating him.
“Winning against him might be easy, but it’s a different story for the other expert from Demon’s Gate.”
As soon as Hidden Soul finished speaking, a clear and powerful voice entered the ears of Shi Feng and the other Zero Wing members. When they turned to look at the speaker, they saw that it was none other than King’s Paradise’s Lunar River.
The suit of pitch-black armor Lunar River previously wore had been replaced with a suit of crimson armor. The pitch-black greatsword she carried had also multiplied, coming as a pair now. Although Lunar River had concealed much of her personal information by wearing a Black Cloak, her current aura was much stronger than when she participated in Everlasting City’s competition. She gave off the feeling of a Primordial Demon God that had just awoken from its slumber, brimming with power.
“He’s not the strongest expert Demon’s Gate sent this time?” Shi Feng looked at Lunar River strangely. Although his clash with Soul Hunter was brief, he could tell the other party was strong. In addition to being equipped with the Blood Drinker Set, Soul Hunter rivaled Ink Crystal in combat standards.
If not for Soul Hunter’s inability to fully exercise the Blood Drinker Set’s potential, even Shi Feng—a bona fide Tier 7 player—couldn’t have killed him so easily. Hence, Shi Feng found it hard to imagine that Demon’s Gate still had stronger experts.
“Of course, he’s not the strongest,” Lunar River said, chuckling at Shi Feng’s confusion. “He might be incredibly strong, but the person in charge of Demon’s Gate’s forces here is someone else. This person also happens to be someone you all are familiar with.”
“Someone we’re familiar with?” Hidden Soul looked at Lunar River curiously.
Soul Hunter rivaled Ink Crystal in combat standards. He was also equipped with the Second Great Divine Set. Even Empyreal Wraith, after reaching the sixth-floor standard, was no match for him. Hence, she found it hard to believe Demon’s Gate could have an expert stronger than Soul Hunter.
“Yes.” Lunar River nodded. Then, she smiled and said, “That person is Elise, the Star Maiden!”
