Chapter 2397 â Ascension Realm
Fenglin City, Redstone Restaurant:
Fang Shihan and her entourage stood before a man in one of the Redstone Restaurantâs VIP rooms, which had an antique flair. The man sat cross-legged on the floor with his eyes closed.
Despite the fact that half of the manâs hair had already turned white, his facial features were that of a man in his early 40s. In truth, however, he was already over 70. Although this elderly man wasnât as large or robust as Matt and the others, his aura felt like that of an unshakable mountain. Standing in his presence, one couldnât help but revere the old man.
This man was none other than Situ Qingtian, Fang Shihan and her companionsâ instructor.
âMatt, is Shi Feng truly as powerful as Shihan described? Was he really able to combine the power of his attacks?â Situ Qingtian asked as he opened his eyes and looked at the younger man before him.
âIâm sure of it. The moment after the first hit, his strikeâs penetrating power doubled. If I hadnât reacted quickly enough and diverted some of the force, He wouldâve likely knocked me out,â Matt said, nodding. Before today, he had only ever experienced that level of power from Situ Qingtian, and the memory of Shi Fengâs hits were still fresh in his mind.
âInstructor, I investigated Shi Feng thoroughly, and there were no reports of him possessing this kind of strength. Heâs only recently reached the grandmaster realm and partially enhanced his mental capacity. He mustâve found something in Godâs Domain that has allowed him to execute such a technique in the real world,â Fang Shihan surmised.
âIt seems Zero Wing isnât so simple, after all. I must have many secrets,â Situ Qingtian said. âI suspect this Shi Feng has made considerable progress in the Realms of Truth. Heâs likely reached the Ascension Realm at the very least.â
âThe Ascension Realm?! How is that possible?!â Matt exclaimed.
Mythology had discovered the Realms of Truth combat system, which had profound principles, in Godâs Domain. At first, some of the various superpowers had labeled the Realms of Truth as the Spiritualization Realm, and they had discovered that learning these principles allowed one to gain unbelievable control with combat techniques. Learning these principles was akin to engraving combat techniques on oneâs bones. Players that learned these principles and practiced them successfully could execute a combat technique with every movement. They could exhibit strength far beyond their natural potential.
However, progressing through the Realms of Truth was an intense challenge. Even Matt, a genius, had barely begun, yet he was considered one of the most accomplished individuals in Mythology. And now, they discovered that Shi Feng, who was much younger than Matt, had gone beyond, reaching the Ascension Realm. How could he allow himself to believe it?
âThat is why I am sure Zero Wing has hidden many secrets. Mythology has expended a lot of manpower and resources to explore the Realms of Truth, yet we have barely uncovered some of the training methods,â Situ Qingtian said, his interest in Zero Wing growing. âZero Wing mustâve obtained some clues relating to the Realms of Truth and uncovered detailed training methods. No individual could reach such a standard by themselves, otherwise.â
âIf that is true, we must obtain this secret!â Fang Shihan declared, passion burning in her gaze.
Mythology had constantly been searching for the Realms of Truthâs secrets, but the clues they had uncovered were few and vague. Needless to say, they had yet to discover any systematic training methods.
If she could get her hands on Zero Wingâs training system and combine it and Mythologyâs research, not only could she improve her own combat standards, but she could also gain more authority within the Guild.
Vice Guild Leader, Zero Wingâs roots on the eastern continent are too solid to shake right now, especially now that it has Stone Forest City. Iâm afraid that we wonât be able to cause any significant damage. Even if we target the Heavenâs Rumble Training Center, our results will likely be negligible. At worst, weâll slow Zero Wingâs recruitment rate, but we wonât be able to harm the Guildâs foundations directly,â Matt anxiously said.
He desperately wanted a Realms of Truth training system, as well. If he could progress further through the Realms of Truth, not only would he grow stronger in Godâs Domain, but heâd also gain more combat power in the real world.
âDonât worry about it. Since we now know Zero Wing has obtained clues regarding the Realms of Truth, our Guild will not let it out of our sight. Iâve read through the reports on Zero Wing. It seems the Guild is at war with Starlink, and the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilionâs Phoenix Rain is part of the reason it has held on for so long,â Situ Qingtian calmly stated. âIf we can interfere and prevent Phoenix Rain from helping Zero Wing, I doubt the Guild will last long against Starlink. Shihan, visit the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion and inform Ku Rong of our stance. Iâm sure that old fellow will make the wise decision.â
âI understand. Iâll get it done once I return,â Fang Shihan said, nodding.
She had thought of pressuring the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, too, but she was only a Vice Guild Leader from one of Mythologyâs many Branch Guilds. Although she had a good reputation in the Guild, she had no authority to represent the Guild in crucial matters. Now that she had permission, however, she didnât have to worry about any negative repercussions.
Whether or not the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion would give in to her demands wasnât even a question. Mythology was one of the Five Great Super Guilds in Godâs Domain. Even ordinary Super Guilds had to show it respect, not to mention a super-first-rate Guild like the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion.
Meanwhile, in Zero Wingâs main headquartersâŠ
Once Shi Feng received the 20 bottles of Life Potion from Fang Shihanâs subordinate, he gave three bottles to Lei Bao. He instructed the man to visit the Extraordinary Tower with the Berserker Lei Bao had made for fun in Godâs Domain.
After his fight with Matt, Shi Feng had an odd sense of impending danger.
Although Zero Wing was developing smoothly in Godâs Domain, it was far too weak in the real world, especially when it came to poaching talented fighters. The various superpowers had already begun to do so on a large scale.
However, since Shi Feng was so busy with his affairs in Godâs Domain, he didnât have time to pay attention to Heavenâs Rumbleâs development. If he wanted his training center to grow, heâd need another grandmaster martial artist to defend it long-term.
Among those working in Heavenâs Rumble, Lei Bao was undoubtedly the closest to reaching the grandmaster realm. After him, there were Fire Dance and the others.
Lei Baoâs physical fitness and control had already peaked, and he was only a step away from breaking into the grandmaster realm. To make that final step, his mental capacity needed to undergo a qualitative transformation.
Although training in the Extraordinary Tower wasnât nearly as effective as training in the Tower of Four Gods, Lei Bao had a high chance of making that final step with the help of the Life Potions. Once he became a grandmaster, Heavenâs Rumble would grow at a frightening pace. The training center would also have a much better chance of resisting the various major corporationâs harassment.
After finishing with Lei Bao, Shi Feng split another 10 Life Potions among Fire Dance, Violet Cloud, Cola, Shadow Sword, and Turtledove, the Guildâs experts that had already grasped internal force. The Life Potions should help them develop their physical fitness and mental capacity.
Shi Feng then drank one of the Life Potions before returning to his virtual gaming cabin and logging back into Godâs Domain. He intended to open the portal to the western continent as soon as possible. Only then could Zero Wing stabilize its foothold in Godâs Domain and secure enough resources and strength to develop the Heavenâs Rumble Training Center.
By the time Shi Feng reentered Godâs Domain, Cola and the others were, for the most part, rested and ready. The team resumed grinding in the Demonwolf Mountain Rangeâs outer region for a while, collecting the last Mana strands for their quest.
âThis quest is a tough one. If not for the Fine-Gold Guards, we wouldnât have had any hope of completing it. I wonder what kind of rewards weâll get once we turn it in.â Blackie pondered, filled with anticipation as he watched Shi Feng collect the final Mana strand. âItâd be awesome if we earned a Fragmented Legendary item.â
This was the first time they had completed an Inferior Legendary Quest, and they had obtained this quest in a Level 100-plus neutral map. The quest rewards would definitely be extraordinary.
âAlright, tidy up. Once everyoneâs ready, weâre leaving,â Shi Feng said, chuckling at Blackieâs excitement.
He did not particularly care about the reward items. He knew that not even an Inferior Legendary Quest had a high chance of granting a Fragmented Legendary item. Rather, he looked forward to the Favorability theyâd earn with the Famed Smith, Alba Gray.
In no time, Shi Feng and his team stood before Alba Gray once more.
