Chapter 1 The Meeting

Torre and the others in the meeting room looked at Shi Feng for a long time, unable to say a word.

Ruthless!

Shi Feng was simply too ruthless!

To ensure entry into the Ancient Secret Realm, he was even willing to use a Fruit of Life to promote his direct subordinates to Fine-Gold ranked guards. Even they couldn't imagine such a grand gesture.

Of course, it must be said that Shi Feng's luck was very good. His direct subordinates could actually become Tier 4 powerhouses.

Relying solely on the strength of a Tier 4 powerhouse to break through the defense magic array of a beginner city was not a problem at all. They could even charge into the city and cause a ruckus, allowing Shi Feng and the others to easily enter the Ancient Secret Realm. They couldn't stop it at all.

After all, the World of Thought had a great effect on both players and Tier 4 Mythic monsters. Simply relying on the cards of their two guilds wouldn't be enough to deal with Shi Feng and the others in a short time. They could only use the number of Tier 4 Mythic summoned beasts to exhaust Farnas, but that would take too much time, and Shi Feng wouldn't be foolish enough to let Farnas fight forever.

"Coach Torre, that Black Flame is simply dreaming!" Wildfire Berserker said quietly to Torre in the team chat, "Let him go ahead. Even if they enter the Ancient Secret Realm, they can only enter a few times. I don't believe they can enter for a lifetime. Besides, the Illusionary Myth's loss will be shared at that time, and our losses will be reduced a lot. Later, when more and more experts from our two guilds are promoted to Tier 4, Black Flame's direct subordinates will be useless. The Ancient Secret Realm's two hundred spots will still be ours."

The Ancient Secret Realm was an ancient city independent of God's Domain. Even if they conquered the trial Boss and became citizens of the city, they still needed to stay in the Ancient Secret Realm for a long time to exert the effects and benefits of the Ancient Secret Realm. It wasn't a secret realm where the benefits could be taken all at once after opening up the wilderness.

On the contrary, the benefits of the Ancient Secret Realm were obtained after the opening up, by becoming a formal citizen inside.

Zero Wing could indeed enter the Ancient Secret Realm by means, but the time a player could live in the Ancient Secret Realm was limited, which was the duration of special items.

One week!

There were only seven natural days. If they didn't come out of it when the time was up, they would starve to death. The cooling time of that special item was ten days, and players couldn't use it in the middle.

In other words, Shi Feng and the others needed to enter the Ancient Secret Realm multiple times and in large quantities, otherwise, they would not be able to truly obtain the benefits inside. Now that the major superpowers were unlocking their mana bodies while also preparing madly to advance to Tier 4, Zero Wing didn't have much time left to enter and exit the Ancient Secret Realm.

Silent Red Star also nodded in agreement.

One hundred spots were too many. Shi Feng was simply asking for too much. There was no possibility of cooperation between them because Zero Wing couldn't bring them much benefit.

However, Torre didn't give any reply to Wildfire Berserker's proposal, but instead closed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, it's not impossible for us to cooperate this time." Torre couldn't help but open his eyes and said slowly to Shi Feng.

"Coach Torre?" Wildfire Berserker and Silent Red Star were both shocked.

Such conditions were not necessary for their Violet Sword. If they really agreed, the guild elders and the guild leader would not agree to such ridiculous cooperation.

"What conditions do you have?" Shi Feng was not in a hurry and asked Torre calmly.

His proposal was indeed a lion's opening, but in order for Zero Wing's members to advance to Tier 4, he had to do so. Otherwise, with the existing resources, except for a few people who were confident of advancing to Tier 4, the others were really in suspense.

If Zero Wing could not have enough Tier 4 experts to guard the area at that time, it would probably be difficult to defend the existing resources. After all, the major superpowers were staring at Zero Wing, but because of the protection of the Knights Order and the city's defenses, those superpowers had no way to do anything.

But if it entered the era of Tier 4 classes, then breaking through the ground would become possible, and even commonplace.

When God's Domain entered the Tier 4 era, it was the craziest time in God's Domain history. The major forces fought like crazy, and countless guild cities were destroyed as a result. Many superpowers were also completely removed from the list.

This was also why he was in a hurry to advance to Tier 4.

At that time, the real strength of the superpowers would be completely revealed. It was no longer the abundance of resources and funds, but the crushing of strength and the number of Tier 4 experts, which was what Zero Wing lacked the most.

Although Farnas could forcibly enter the Ancient Secret Realm with his current strength, it was not a long-term solution after all. Direct cooperation was the best. If cooperation was really not possible, then that would be his last choice. After all, the resources in God's Domain belonged to those who were capable, not to whoever occupied them.

"I only need Guild Leader Black Flame to do one thing for us." Torre said softly, "As long as you complete this thing, we can fully agree to your conditions."

"What thing?" Shi Feng couldn't help but be curious, he didn't expect Torre to be so straightforward.

"It's very simple, pass the Ancient Secret Realm's Heroic Trial!" Torre said slowly, "As long as you can pass that Heroic Trial, we will agree to all the conditions you said. If you can't, then please go back. Whether you can enter the Ancient Secret Realm at that time will depend on your own abilities."

"Heroic Trial?" Shi Feng was slightly surprised when he heard this.

In his memory, the trials of the Ancient Secret Realm should only have two difficulties, and there shouldn't be anything Heroic.

"Heroic Trial? Coach Torre, this is too risky! We only have one chance. Once we fail, we will never have the chance to challenge again. How can Zero Wing succeed with these people?" Wildfire Berserker was also anxious when he heard this.

There were two types of trials in the Ancient Secret Realm, Ordinary and Elite.

But above that, there was also a welfare to open the Ancient Secret Realm, and that was the Heroic Trial!

Generally, as long as one could pass the Ordinary Trial, they could become formal citizens of the Ancient City and enjoy various benefits of the Ancient City.

According to the information they had collected, as long as one could pass the Heroic Trial, they could obtain the noble treatment of the Ancient City. The noble treatment of the Ancient City was far higher than that of ordinary citizens. Although ordinary citizens were also slowly being promoted to nobles, the time and cost were too long and too much. It was far faster to directly challenge the Heroic Trial.

However, there was only one chance to challenge the Heroic Trial. Once one failed, there would be no chance in the future. They could only start from ordinary citizens step by step.

Originally, they planned to drag it to the last deadline of the Heroic Trial, which was about thirty days left to challenge, so that they would have the greatest chance of success.

Now it was suddenly brought forward so much, and Zero Wing, who had unlocked their mana bodies but whose combat level was generally not good, was going to do it, it was simply a waste of a challenge opportunity.

"Of course, if Guild Leader Black Flame fails in this Heroic Trial challenge, I hope you don't have any ideas about the Ancient Secret Realm within ten days. I wonder if Guild Leader Black Flame is willing to challenge it?" Torre looked at Shi Feng and asked slowly.

As Torre finished speaking, the anxious Wildfire Berserker and Silent Red Star also brightened up.

Using the opportunity of the Heroic Trial to exchange for ten days of buffer time, although it was a bit extravagant, ten days was enough for their Violet Sword to prepare completely to challenge the Ordinary Trial, then become formal citizens, and get the biggest benefits of the opening up. Even if Shi Feng and the others entered afterwards, the impact on their Violet Sword would be much smaller. Even Zero Wing would probably completely lose the qualification to enter afterwards.

Of course, there was a premise that Shi Feng dared to agree.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, I wonder if you dare to challenge it? Our Violet Sword has spent an unknown amount of resources to occupy the Ancient Secret Realm. We can't just take out half of the spots because of your empty words. You have to prove that Zero Wing has the qualification, right?" Silent Red Star looked at Shi Feng and said with a faint smile.

"Alright! I can agree to your conditions." Shi Feng thought for a while and said, "But I also have a condition. If you can agree, we will sign a contract directly. Otherwise, we can only do as Coach Torre said, and rely on our own abilities."

"What condition?" Wildfire Berserker asked curiously.
