"S-rank?"
"Previously, that Nightingale from Xuan Yue Pavilion relied on an epic-level set of equipment to barely maintain 80% of his health. But now, with his new third-tier equipment, he hasn't lost any health at all. Could he be a big shot from that super guild who came to experience life?"
"I don't think so. The big shots from the major superpowers are said to be preparing to confront the peak experts of the outside world. How could they have time to come here and start over with a new character?"
"He must be a big shot from a superpower. Otherwise, how could he use the Sword Light Six Extremes technique so proficiently? Currently, in the entire Divine Realm, only the big shots from those superpowers can reach such a level of mastery. The rest of the people can't achieve such proficiency."
...
After Shi Feng's stunning performance, the entire audience fell silent for a moment. The high-level experts watching the battle also turned their attention to Shi Feng and quietly discussed his true identity. They were filled with curiosity, even more so than when Shi Feng received the epic-level challenge and S-rank evaluation. Their discussions were more enthusiastic and excited.
However, Shi Feng paid no attention to the discussions from the spectators transmitted through the arena. He calmly walked up to the fourth-tier NPC administrator and collected the rewards for the S-rank evaluation.
"Sky Enforcer, you did a great job to be able to pass the challenge without any injuries. This is the first time in decades for our Hundred Streams City Colosseum." The fourth-tier NPC administrator looked at Shi Feng with a hint of respect in his eyes. He took out an exquisite crystal box and handed it directly to Shi Feng, saying, "This is your reward. Inside, besides the Blood of the Demon God that can allow you to rebuild your epic-level Magic Body, there is also a Badge of the Grandmaster of Hundred Streams City Colosseum. From now on, you will be an esteemed guest of Hundred Streams City, enjoying the treatment of a noble."
"Direct noble treatment?"
Shi Feng looked at the golden lion emblem in the crystal treasure box and was slightly surprised.
In the divine realm, noble treatment, especially in this ancient NPC city, is not an easily obtainable status. One must make a significant contribution to the NPC city, typically reaching 500 points of contribution to become a noble in the NPC city. Each NPC city task only grants 3 to 5 points of contribution.
Becoming a noble in the NPC city allows one to enjoy certain privileges, such as buying and selling land and shops within the city. Especially in the ancient NPC cities, one must have noble status to purchase these things; simply having money is not enough.
Because of this, the major guilds and powerful adventurer groups that come to the ancient world, even if they have a large amount of gold, still do not have any valuable land or shops in Bai Liu City.
"This saves me a lot of trouble."
Looking at the emblem of the Beastmaster in Bai Liu City, a rare smile appeared on Shi Feng's lips.
Even though he had entered the divine realm and the newly opened ancient world, it would be difficult for him to compete with the major guilds for resources. After all, there is strength in numbers, and these guilds are not lacking in experts.
If there were not enough resources in the divine realm, it would be impossible to even think about advancing, let alone speeding up leveling.
In the divine realm, the higher the tier, the more resources it consumes. After a period of time, many independent experts choose to join the major guilds in the divine realm, especially for these resources that can help them further their progress.
After all, in the divine realm, each advancement brings a significant increase in status and position.
A sixth-tier divine-level expert is even treated as an esteemed guest by the major corporations in the real world. With a single outburst, they can easily turn a city in the divine realm into ashes, and it is not impossible to overthrow a kingdom with hundreds of cities.
Currently, Shi Feng is alone in the divine realm, only at the third tier. With the few credits he has saved up, it is far from enough to improve his physical fitness, let alone advance in the divine realm and regain the lost memories.
So earning resources has become an essential thing.
Originally, he was still thinking about how to quickly become a noble in Bailiu City, and then buy a shop in Bailiu City before the major guilds, but now he has saved all that.
Whether in the real world or in the Divine Realm, land is the mother of wealth.
In the Divine Realm, countless players flock to this ancient small world. As long as you can buy shops and land in Bailiu City, you will never worry about not making money in the future.
Immediately, Shi Feng put on the emblem of the Bailiu City Beastmaster and walked directly towards Wu Lingling, who was waiting not far away.
At this time, Wu Lingling was staring at the S-level evaluation in the sky above Arena No. 3, with an indescribable excitement and excitement in her eyes. On the other hand, Qian Yuan, a middle-aged man in a deep gray robe, remained silent for a long time, with a complex look in his eyes, as if he had not recovered from Shi Feng's previous battle.
Because Qian Yuan really couldn't believe this result.
Clearly, according to the information about Shi Feng, Shi Feng was just a former guild leader abandoned by a second-rate guild, and his rank was only Tier 3.
Now, not only did he face ten extremely powerful sea giants without any injuries, but his sword technique, Six Extreme Slashes, also left people speechless. No matter how you look at it, he is a formidable expert who cannot be underestimated.
Just based on his skill level alone, let alone being the guild leader of a second-rate guild, even if he came to their Chuanlang Guild, there are probably only a few people who can compete with Shi Feng.
And such a formidable expert was actually rejected and expelled by Yu Ying for being too weak?
"Could they have mistaken the person?"
Qianyuan couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind.
Just as Qianyuan hadn't come back to his senses, Shifeng walked up and looked at Wulingling apologetically, saying, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting here for so long. Wulingling, do you have something urgent to find me for?"
As Shifeng spoke, Wulingling couldn't help but glance at Qianyuan beside her and cautiously said, "Teacher Shi, it's not a big deal actually. It's just that Qian Shu wants to talk to you about something."
Wulingling didn't want to speak up about Qianyuan's proposal for guidance. After all, it was disrespectful to the teachers at the academy, and she also felt that learning from Shifeng was great.
The Six Extreme Sword Light was the signature skill of the admired Sword Mad Jiuxiao Longyun, and it was also the martial technique she had always wanted to learn. Now that Shifeng could use the Six Extreme Sword Light so proficiently, it was definitely the best opportunity for her to learn it.
But she couldn't ignore her sister's side either. After all, Qianyuan was specially invited by her sister, so it would be best for Qianyuan to explain the issue of guidance.
"Talk to me?" Shifeng's gaze turned to Qianyuan beside him when he heard this. He narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly, "I wonder what Qian Xiong wants to discuss with me? Could it be about the future guidance of Wulingling?"
Wulingling's talent was evident to all, and it was absolutely impossible for the guild where Wuxiaoxiao was to not be interested. Snatching talented new students was no longer a secret. Cultivating them earlier not only allowed them to better unleash their potential, but also increased their loyalty to the guild.
As Shifeng spoke, Qianyuan, who wanted to say something else, also became embarrassed. He didn't expect Shifeng to be the teacher he was looking for, and he even exposed his thoughts. For a while, he didn't know what to say.
Originally, Qianyuan wanted to greet Shifeng briefly and didn't plan to mention Wulingling's matter, using it as a way to deceive him. After all, offending a third-order expert without a background was completely different from offending a great expert who had received an epic-level challenge with an S-level evaluation.
If the person in the guild who collects information about Shifeng's information is known, he will definitely kill that person!
However, Qianyuan is ultimately a top-notch backbone of a guild that has experienced many storms. Although he feels embarrassed in his heart, he completely pretends as if nothing has happened on his face, smiling and saying, "Teacher Shi is joking. The major academies in the Divine Realm have explicitly prohibited our guild forces from poaching in advance. Although Xuanlang is not a super force, we are still a top-notch guild in the Divine Realm, and we will strictly abide by this rule. I came here this time just to admire Teacher Shi's reputation. I have never had a chance to meet, so I asked Lingling to introduce me. Teacher Shi, please don't misunderstand."
As Qianyuan finished speaking in one breath, Lingling beside him was also stunned for a moment, unable to help but stare at Qianyuan, as if she was meeting him for the first time.
"I see." Shifeng nodded slightly and smiled, "But I'm afraid Qianxiong will be disappointed. I am just a third-order player expelled by the Shadow Guild. How can I catch the attention of a top-notch guild like Xuanlang?"
Upon hearing this, Qianyuan could only awkwardly smile and wipe the sweat off his forehead.
Although Shifeng didn't say anything, looking at his smiling but unfathomable face and deep eyes, Qianyuan felt that the Shifeng in front of him was not like a fallen man in his early thirties, but more like a fierce beast that could see through everything.
"Is he really just a former guild leader of a second-rate guild?"
Qianyuan looked at Shifeng, his mind filled with thoughts, because of Shifeng's penetrating sense and oppressive aura, even their guild leader in Xuanlang didn't have such a strong presence. It was as if in front of Shifeng, the whole person was like a child.
Just as Qianyuan finished wiping the cold sweat off his forehead and was about to say something, more than ten players wearing the emblem of the Xuan Yue Pavilion suddenly walked out of the crowd and came directly to Shifeng and Qianyuan.
"Why are they here?" Qianyuan looked at these players, feeling surprised.
These more than ten Xuan Yue Pavilion players, besides wearing level 150 epic equipment, the killing intent emanating from each of them was like a scorching wave, making people dare not approach. They were obviously a group of well-trained, experienced experts. Even Qianyuan felt a sense of fear when facing these experts present.
The leader, Zhuo Yalin, gives people an indescribable sense of suffocation. It feels as if being by Zhuo Yalin's side is like being in a cold cave, where the bone-chilling coldness makes one unable to relax even a bit, and a slight carelessness would result in being invaded by this coldness throughout the body.
Before Qian Yuan could react, Zhuo Yalin, who was in the lead, walked directly in front of Shi Feng. Her captivating eyes, like autumn water, carried a smile as she looked Shi Feng up and down. She warmly introduced herself, "Hello, I am Nightingale from Xuan Yue Pavilion. Your amazing performance just now is truly unforgettable. I wonder if there is a chance for you to have a drink with me?"
Zhuo Yalin's voice was not loud, but it was as melodious as an oriole. Every move she made exuded both the charm of a lady and the enthusiasm of a bold person. Instantly, many players present couldn't help but be moved, their gazes full of envy as they looked at Shi Feng.
"Liar!"
Beside them, Wu Lingling couldn't help but open her small mouth in disbelief as she looked at her idol, Zhuo Yalin, and then at the calm Shi Feng.
Zhuo Yalin was one of the top talents in the first-rate guild, Xuan Yue Pavilion, and also the vice leader of the guild's main force. She could be said to be an absolute core high-level member of Xuan Yue Pavilion, and in the future, she was even being groomed by Xuan Yue Pavilion to become the guild's vice guild leader. Coupled with Zhuo Yalin's charming figure and exquisite appearance, she had been pursued by some geniuses from super forces. However, there were very few people who could truly have a meal and drink with Zhuo Yalin.
Now, Zhuo Yalin was actually extending an invitation on her own initiative. Even the vice guild leaders and guild leaders of other first-rate guilds would probably find it difficult to receive such treatment.
"Hello, Miss Nightingale." Shi Feng glanced at Zhuo Yalin and smiled faintly. He had some impression of Zhuo Yalin. She was a star figure in the God's Domain League, and many super forces had invited her to join them. However, Zhuo Yalin had not been tempted and had chosen to stay in Xuan Yue Pavilion. "I apologize for feeling busy at the moment. If you want to have a drink, we can do it another day. If you want to discuss business, I am very welcome."
"Black Flame is indeed formidable." Zhuo Yalin also smiled and was not surprised by Shi Feng's refusal. She then said with a smile, "I won't beat around the bush. I have high expectations for your skills, so I hope to invite you to participate in the Darkmoon Outpost siege battle in ten days. As for the reward, Black Flame, you can name your price!"
"Is there a siege battle at the Darkmoon Outpost?" Qianyuan listened and suddenly realized.
The entire ancient small world is filled with the corrupting energy that affects players, making the time spent outside the city much less compared to the Divine Realm. Additionally, mounts from the Divine Realm cannot be used here, so players can only rely on their legs to traverse the map, greatly limiting their activity range. This greatly affects the exploration and development of the ancient small world.
However, there are also many magical outposts in the ancient small world. Although these places are not as safe as NPC cities and lack various facilities, they have the effect of dispelling the corrupting energy, greatly enhancing the players' activity range.
It can be said that whoever controls the magical outpost controls the initiative in exploring the ancient small world.
The control of the magical outpost is contested once a month, and the Darkmoon Outpost is the closest outpost to the Bailiu City. All the major guilds in Bailiu City are eyeing the Darkmoon Outpost.
However, the battle for the Darkmoon Outpost is not an unlimited battle in terms of the number of participants. It is obtained by killing specific targets in the wilderness to obtain permission tokens. A total of 5,000 tokens will drop each month, and how many each guild can snatch depends on their abilities.
In such a small-scale battle, a skilled player can bring significant advantages.
Seeing that, after thinking for a while, Shi Feng looked at Zhuo Yalin and smiled slightly, saying, "I am very interested in your proposal, but I have two conditions."
Zhuo Yalin looked at him with a slight surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect Shi Feng to agree so readily. Then, a seductive smile appeared on her lips, and she boldly said, "Please speak, Lord Black Flame."
"The first condition is that if we win in the end, I hope to obtain the right to use a large-scale shop in the Darkmoon Outpost," Shi Feng said with great certainty.
"This..." Zhuo Yalin couldn't help but hesitate.
The Darkmoon Outpost is not large, with only six shops in total, and there is only one large-scale shop.
Standing behind Zhuo Yalin was a tall and muscular man, carrying a shield as tall as himself. He looked at Shi Feng with some anger and said, "Lord Black Flame, our deputy commander sincerely invites you. But asking for a large-scale shop just for one person to participate, isn't that asking for too much? You should know that there are only six magic power outposts, and only one large-scale shop!"
Many experts from Xuan Yue Pavilion present nodded in agreement, feeling that Shi Feng was too arrogant. He was just one person, yet he wanted so much if he won. It was like a dream.
Shi Feng didn't mind and smiled, saying, "That leads me to my second condition. I am not alone, and I hope you can prepare thirty-one spots."
"Thirty-one spots?" Zhuo Yalin was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Shi Feng to have a team. But upon further thought, she felt it made sense. How could such a skilled person not have their own team? She nodded and said, "No problem. If Lord Black Flame can really help Xuan Yue Pavilion win, I can promise you a large-scale shop!"
After that, Shi Feng signed the contract with Zhuo Yalin. As long as Xuan Yue Pavilion obtained the Darkmoon Outpost, Shi Feng would receive the largest shop in the outpost.
After the contract was signed, it caught the attention of many guilds present. Zhuo Yalin didn't chat much and directly led her subordinates to leave the Beast Arena, leaving only Shi Feng, Qian Yuan, and Wu Lingling. It was obvious that they were planning to prepare for the siege of the Darkmoon Outpost.
Wu Lingling couldn't help but ask Shi Feng in a low voice after seeing Zhuo Yalin leave, "Teacher Shi, the team of thirty-one people you mentioned, could it be us new students?"
She had a rough understanding of Shi Feng's situation, and combined with the number of thirty-one, Wu Lingling couldn't help but make some connections.
"What do you think?" Shi Feng glanced at Wu Lingling and smiled before also leaving the Beast Arena.
