Chapter 1 The Valley

In the valley, as the mountain-like Hellfire Wyvern crashed to the ground with a thunderous sound, even causing the earth to shake, none of the players present rushed forward to snatch up the scattered loot.

At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to become incomparably silent, as if time itself had stopped flowing.

Each and every one of them stared intently at the man in the black cloak holding a jet-black, blood-纹 (wén) longsword in mid-air, their eyes filled with terror and deep awe, as if they were seeing a god.

"Is he... really a player?"

Looking at Shi Feng standing in the air, such a thought couldn't help but emerge in the minds of the players present.

A level 99 World Legendary Boss had been dealt with so easily, as if it were just an elite monster on the side of the road, and these elite monsters didn't even have the power to resist...

"Just who is he?"

"There's absolutely no way a player could be this strong. That's a level 99 World Boss! Even a hundred-man group of Tier 3 experts might not be able to handle it. How could a single player take it down so easily? He must be an NPC in disguise!"

Some players, looking at Shi Feng in mid-air, even laughed hysterically, clutching their heads. Their expressions were manic, completely unable to accept that the gap between players could be so vast.

However, Shi Feng paid no attention to either the shocked players or those who had gone mad and couldn't accept it. He landed directly next to the Hellfire Wyvern and began picking up the dropped items.

Because God's Domain wasn't reality, and the game was so cruel. A little accumulation of data was enough to turn many players into monsters in the eyes of others, not to mention the qualitative change brought about by class advancement.

The difference of two Tiers!

In the eyes of these Tier 2 players, Tier 4 could be called gods, because Tier 4 classes could wipe out large numbers of Tier 2 classes with a wave of their hand.

Moreover, the opponent he had dealt with was just a World Boss below level 100. In God's Domain, monsters below level 100 weren't considered powerful at all.

Otherwise, the major powers wouldn't be frantically snatching these World Bosses below level 100 right now, because the smaller powers simply couldn't beat the World Bosses above level 100, so they could only choose these World Bosses below level 100.

"Hmm, it dropped a pretty good Epic item." Shi Feng looked at a holy-looking robe in his hand, a hint of surprise in his heart.

*Veil of Radiance*, Cloth Armor Chestpiece, Epic Rank, Equipment Level 40-110, Equipment Requirement: 1500 Intelligence, 1300 Spirit.

Defense +340 (Level 40)

Strength +20

Agility +24

Intelligence +63

Spirit +31

Endurance +25

Ignores Monster Level +4, Defense Level +2, Casting Distance increased by 20%, Intelligence and Spirit effects increased by 10%.

Comes with Passive Skill 1: *Spirit Light*. When the holder's mental state is below 50%, all mana consumption is reduced by 30%, and casting speed is increased by 30%.

Comes with Passive Skill 2: *Mana Cloak*. Automatically absorbs mana within a radius of 100 yards to protect itself, Mana Perception effect increased by 20%, Magic Resistance increased by 20%, and Magic Effect increased by 20%.

Two-Piece Set Effect: All Veil of Radiance equipment level limits are increased to 150.

Four-Piece Set Effect: All Attributes increased by 20%, All Magic Skill effects increased by 20%.

Six-Piece Set Effect: Gains Blessing of Light, Constitution increased by 30%, Mana Affinity increased by 20%, Gains the skill *Mana Heart*, forcibly increases the mana intensity of the user by one tier, lasting for 1 minute, cooldown time is one hour.

The Veil of Radiance set has a total of seven pieces, and it's considered top-tier among Epic sets. As long as magic-type players can collect a two-piece set, they won't need to change equipment before level 150.

If they can collect a six-piece set effect, a Tier 4 Archmage wearing it would be a world-destroying existence. It can be said to be one of the best sets for magic-types below Tier 5.

However, the Veil of Radiance set is randomly dropped by World Bosses below level 150, so it's very difficult to collect a complete set.

"This could allow Fire Dance and the others to frequently hunt down some World Bosses below level 120. If they can collect a whole set, whether it's Zi Yan wearing it, or Water Color wearing it, they won't need to change equipment before Tier 5." Shi Feng looked at the Veil of Radiance and felt that it was very necessary to get a set. If they could collect a complete set before Tier 5, then it would be difficult to find opponents below Tier 5.

Immediately, Shi Feng put away the Veil of Radiance and also put more than a dozen level 100 Dark-Gold and Fine-Gold weapons and equipment dropped by the Hellfire Wyvern, as well as a large number of materials, magic crystals, potion recipes, etc., into his bag in one breath, and directly flew away from this valley.

The members of the surrounding major powers also didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Shi Feng had left.

"Looking at the longsword he used, and that astonishing destructive power, could he be Sword King Black Flame?"

"I followed the upper echelons of the guild to watch the seat matches before, and it's indeed very similar. He must be Sword King Black Flame. He's currently the only known Tier 4 class. Only a Tier 4 class would be so terrifying."

"He's that Sword King? That's too amazing!"

Looking at Shi Feng's departure, some players faintly guessed Shi Feng's identity. A single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and they couldn't help but discuss the legendary Shi Feng.

In particular, there was the most talk about Tier 4 classes.

Thinking of Shi Feng cutting off the Hellfire Wyvern's wings with a single sword, the players present couldn't help but be filled with longing for the legendary Tier 4 class.

In the past, everyone didn't have a concept of Tier 4 classes. Even the players who went to the War God Temple to watch the matches didn't feel that Tier 4 classes were that amazing. It was just that Tier 3 class players were simply not opponents.

But now, everyone was truly shocked by the Tier 4 class.

A Tier 4 Legendary World Boss, killed as soon as you say it's killed. How could such power not make people yearn for it?

Soon, the news of Shi Feng killing the Hellfire Wyvern began to spread rapidly.

When the major powers saw Shi Feng's battle video, each and every one of them had fiery eyes and had a new understanding of Tier 4 classes, causing the ambitions that had been washed away by the NPCs to return one by one.

"Tier 4! Immediately mobilize all the manpower of the guild, we must find a way to find out how Zero Wing advances to Tier 4 classes!"

"That's right, the era of Tier 3 classes is over. From now on, our only goal is Tier 4!"

"As long as we master the Tier 4 class, we will be the overlords of the future!"

For a time, the major powers frantically searched for information about Tier 4 inheritance, while sending people to try to infiltrate Zero Wing to extract information. There were even many super powers directly contacting Zero Wing's high-level members, willing to spend exorbitant prices to purchase all the information and data about Tier 4 advancement.

On the official forums of the major kingdoms and empires of God's Domain, it was also a hotbed. The battle video of Shi Feng and the Hellfire Wyvern alone had exceeded 1 billion views. Everyone was discussing what exactly a Tier 4 class was, what the upper limit of combat power was, and whether it could kill Tier 4 Legendary monsters of the same level, and so on.

The Tier 4 craze completely swept through the eastern continent of God's Domain, causing the entire eastern continent of God's Domain to go crazy.

As for Shi Feng, who had left Fire Hill Ridge, his messages and communications were about to explode.

At a glance, the number of message notifications had reached the upper limit of 9999, and there were also hundreds of communication requests. This was after blocking non-friends from communicating. If he hadn't blocked them, it was conceivable that the communications would have been directly blasted.

"Guild Leader, you've stirred up a big storm this time." Youlan contacted Shi Feng, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Now the whole world is looking for the inheritance site to advance to Tier 4. Our Zero Wing has become the target of all forces, all wanting to inquire about the Tier 4 inheritance site from us."

Now, Zero Wing's high-level members were being harassed by people from the major powers. More than twenty super powers had contacted her, all wanting to discuss the issue of Tier 4 advancement, and all were willing to offer exorbitant prices.

And if they, Zero Wing, didn't reply at all, then they would offend all these super powers, and then Zero Wing would really be in danger.

"An accident, truly an accident." Shi Feng said apologetically, "I didn't expect it to become like this."

He just wanted to try out the effect of the Dauntless-grade virtual reality cabin, and he never thought it would turn out like this. It has to be said that, from a certain point of view, the effect of the Dauntless-grade is truly amazing...

"Then what do we do now?" Youlan frowned, feeling very headache-inducing. "If we refuse them all, then we have to be prepared to make enemies with all the super powers of the entire eastern continent."

Shi Feng thought for a while and said very seriously, "How about this, you release the news, we, Zero Wing, can sell the information on how to advance to Tier 4 classes, but at a fixed price of 5,000 units of Seven Luminaries Crystals! Not one unit less!"

"Five thousand units? Guild Leader, isn't this..." Youlan also listened with her mouth wide open.

Five thousand units of Seven Luminaries Crystals, this is not just a lion's big mouth, it's simply wanting the lives of the major super powers!

You have to know that the major super powers now have three or four thousand units of Seven Luminaries Crystals in their hands, which is already considered rich. Plus, many super powers have also participated in the seat matches, and the number of Seven Luminaries Crystals is much less. I'm afraid many super powers can't take out five thousand units of Seven Luminaries Crystals.

"You just notify them, I've already opened the price." Shi Feng didn't intend to back down and directly instructed, "As for whether they are willing to buy it, it's not our business."

"Okay, but I won't be responsible for what happens after that." Youlan also nodded helplessly.

Afterwards, Youlan directly made Shi Feng's offer public to the major powers.
