Chapter 1 A Choice

After speaking, Ailei Yadi fell silent, her eyes slightly closed, the greatsword standing in front of her, quietly waiting for Shi Feng's reply, with no intention of speaking further, like an emotionless automaton.

"The Golden Gate can still directly receive inheritance guidance?" Shi Feng looked at Ailei Yadi, who resembled a statue, and couldn't help but feel surprised.

According to what he knew in his previous life, the creators inside the Inheritance Gate were lofty and aloof, only appearing to explain the rules when a trial-taker entered the space. After that, players couldn't expect to see them again.

He didn't expect Ailei Yadi to appear on the first floor of the Holy Mountain, let alone give him two choices.

One of the choices was actually to receive inheritance guidance. If the masters of his previous life knew about this, they would probably be green with envy and might even try to kill him.

One must know that in God's Domain, players no longer received any guidance after entering the Tier 3 class. Everything needed to be explored on their own, especially the unlocking of the Mana Body.

Even if there were Inheritance Gates, they would only provide opponents for players to observe and learn from, and everything still relied on themselves.

Being able to directly receive inheritance guidance was the dream of all master players.

Don't think that Tier 3 masters in God's Domain can unlock their Mana Bodies as long as they spend enough time. The extent to which the Mana Body is unlocked depends on the player themselves.

Because unlocking the Mana Body doesn't necessarily mean it's perfect at 100%.

100% unlocking is just the basic condition for opening the Tier 3 Mana Body. If you unlock more, the effects that the Mana Body can bring will be stronger.

And wanting to exceed 100% unlocking is very difficult. If the path you take in the early stages is wrong, it is almost impossible to exceed 100%. You can only complete the most basic Mana Body unlocking.

If there could be direct guidance from an ancient inheritance, many top masters in his previous life could have taken it a step further, even reaching the ranks of Tier 5 peak masters. After all, the stronger the unlocked Mana Body, the easier it is to advance later. This is why some masters with only a Bronze Mana Body can forcefully step into Tier 5, while some masters with a Gold Mana Body are stuck at Tier 4.

Now that Ailei Yadi could offer such conditions, he almost thought he was dreaming.

"Respected Lady Ailei Yadi, I choose to challenge you!" After a moment of stunned silence, Shi Feng chose the first option with almost no hesitation.

Although challenging Ailei Yadi was a very reckless decision, he would definitely regret it to death if he missed such an opportunity.

If he couldn't get the control of Star-Moon Fortress's City Lord's Mansion now, he would have the opportunity to come again next time. But if he gave up the challenge to Ailei Yadi, he might not have another chance to receive inheritance guidance.

He had an Epic-level Mana Body, and the difficulty of unlocking it was originally higher than those Gold-level Mana Bodies. It was very difficult to reach 100%. Even now, he had only touched a small path, and he didn't know if this path could reach 100%, let alone exceed 100%.

"Very good, you have made a wise decision. If you had chosen to give up challenging me, then no matter how many times you come here in the future, you will never have another chance to challenge me, let alone receive my inheritance guidance." Ailei Yadi couldn't help but open her eyes, and a hint of appreciation appeared in her gaze as she looked at Shi Feng, "But don't think that you can withstand my three strikes. Even if I only suppress my strength to Tier 3, with your un-unlocked Epic Mana Body, the possibility of you succeeding is less than 10 percent."

As she spoke, Ailei Yadi directly drew the azure divine-script greatsword in front of her and raised it above her head with both hands.

In an instant, the area within a hundred yards of Ailei Yadi was filled with terrifying mana. The divine-script greatsword in Ailei Yadi's hand was like a mana storm, and the terrifying mana seemed to tear even space apart.

Shi Feng could clearly feel all of this. It wasn't from any magical skill, but simply from swinging a sword.

"Take this! First sword, Light and Shadow!"

As Ailei Yadi spoke, she directly swung her sword down at Shi Feng, who was forty yards away.

A phantom giant sword composed of mana crashed down, shattering the space it passed through inch by inch, as if tearing a gash in the sky and earth.

"Is this the true way to use the Mana Body?" Shi Feng was stunned by this scene.

He had seen many Tier 5 NPCs, but he had never seen a Tier 5 NPC who could use the Mana Body to such an extent.

She had clearly suppressed herself to Tier 3, but just swinging a sword had a power comparable to a Tier 4 magic skill...

Shi Feng didn't hesitate to use Heavenly Dragon Power.

The Inheritance Gate wasn't Star Valley. Players couldn't use invincibility-like magic skills, but they could use any other magic skills. This was his confidence in daring to challenge Ailei Yadi.

In an instant, divine scripts lit up on Shi Feng's body, and his Strength Attribute climbed sharply. He faced the falling mana giant sword.

Secret Skill, Thunder Light!

Boom!

The sword blades collided, dust flew, and the shockwave generated by the collision shook the surrounding ground, and the sound echoed throughout the Golden Holy Mountain.

Then, a figure flew out of the dust, and this figure was Shi Feng.

However, Shi Feng's HP instantly dropped by one-fifth. After flying more than ten yards, he almost didn't stand firm and fell to the ground…

However, before Shi Feng could stand up, Ailei Yadi once again raised the divine-script greatsword. This time, however, it was different from before. The greatsword stood in front of her, the blade behind her, preparing for a horizontal slash.

"Second sword, Holy Devour!"

As Ailei Yadi spoke, the surrounding surging mana rioted, as if to devour everything. Shi Feng even felt his own mana starting to wither, and the terrifying pressure made his actions become difficult.

Before Shi Feng could react, Ailei Yadi swung the greatsword in her hand.

In an instant, a surging flame appeared before him, and the flame made the space turbulent, as if it wanted to burn everything to ashes, not even letting go of space.

The power was more than twice as strong as the previous sword…

"Are you kidding me?" Shi Feng's shock was beyond words as he looked at the oncoming flame.

A Tier 3 class's normal attack could unleash the power of Tier 4. Even a hero might not be able to do that. Now, the sword she swung out not only reached Tier 4, but also reached the mid-level of Tier 4. No one would believe it if he said it.

However, despite his surprise, Shi Feng knew that he couldn't hold back anymore. He directly activated Blade Liberation, causing his own Attributes and Power to soar once again. He once again used Secret Skill, Thunder Light.

Boom!

The sword light collided, and the space directly shattered.

Shi Feng flew out once again, his HP instantly plummeting to below half, even more miserable than before. However, before Shi Feng could stand up, he heard Ailei Yadi's voice,

"Third sword, Holy Destruction!"

Ailei Yadi had no intention of stopping at all. She directly leaped up and instantly came to the sky above Shi Feng's head, and slashed down fiercely.

This time, there were no mana fluctuations. But at this moment, Shi Feng felt that he couldn't move, because everything around him seemed to be an enemy. He could only watch Ailei Yadi's greatsword fall.

The power of the sword was no longer comparable to the second sword…

"I'll risk it! Activate Collapse Power!"
