After Shi Feng gave a definite answer, Hei Zi briefly described Zero Wing's recent recruitment situation.

The appearance of Yi Xiao Qingcheng didn't cause Zero Wing's recruitment to decline. On the contrary, it became even more popular. More players signed up, and even some players from other guilds defected to Zero Wing.

The entrance to Zero Wing's residence was a sea of people, a spectacle that became a scene in White River City.

Those who didn't know would think that Zero Wing was already the master of White River City, while those who knew secretly laughed.

Zero Wing originally only had a little over 5,000 members, but after two days of frantic recruitment, it expanded to more than 10,000. If it weren't for Yi Xiao Qingcheng's poaching plan, Zero Wing's membership would have easily exceeded 30,000 by now.

The reason for this was mainly because many players first participated in Zero Wing's test and, after passing, went directly to Yi Xiao Qingcheng, where the待遇 (dài yù, benefits) were tripled, which was twelve times the待遇 of other guilds. How could people not be envious?

"If this continues, it won't be good for Zero Wing either. We must think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible." Shi Feng frowned slightly after listening.

If Yi Xiao Qingcheng continued to spend money like water, constantly poaching Zero Wing's members, it would also increase Yi Xiao Qingcheng's prestige and greatly increase Yi Xiao Qingcheng's power in White River City.

Others didn't know that Yi Xiao Qingcheng had Netherworld as its backing, but Shi Feng knew. Moreover, there were four other cities around White River City that were controlled by Netherworld. If they fought in the future, Zero Wing would be attacked from all sides.

After Hei Zi finished talking about Zero Wing's situation, he immediately rushed back to the Zero Wing studio, while Shi Feng began to exercise.

Now that the S-grade nutrient solution had been completely absorbed, it was a good time to further improve his physical fitness.

However, compared to the previous intensive training, Shi Feng's current training was more focused on adjustment. In the afternoon, Shi Feng casually ordered takeout, and after eating, he entered God's Domain again.

Faced with Yi Xiao Qingcheng's current financial oppression, Shi Feng didn't have any good ideas. The only way was to improve his own strength.

As soon as Shi Feng logged in, he continued his tedious actions of searching for and killing monsters.

After the previous two days of searching, Shi Feng had roughly grasped the refresh time of the monsters around Sword Peak Mountain. If he had to say where the most monsters were, it would be inside Sword Peak Mountain.

However, Shi Feng had not gone up there yet. It wasn't that Shi Feng didn't want to go, but Shi Feng had a feeling that the inheritance of the Holy Tenth was not so easy to pass. Although dealing with the Bone Giants and Blade Demons was already difficult, the difficulty of a Legendary quest was not that simple.

If he had to say what place in the Origin Sword Domain was the most dangerous, in Shi Feng's opinion, it was Sword Peak Mountain.

Therefore, Shi Feng searched for monsters around Sword Peak Mountain, never stepping inside, secretly improving his strength.

In the Origin Sword Domain, players could not gain experience points, and the drops were only Fragments of the Legacy Chapter and Broken Steel Design Drawings. There was nothing else. However, there was one benefit here.

Skill Proficiency!

That's right, the monsters here were all Elite monsters above level 25, and even the Bone Giants and Blade Demons that Shi Feng mainly dealt with were all Leader monsters of level 30. Their level exceeded Shi Feng's by 8 levels. After Shi Feng used skills to attack, the skill proficiency he gained was boosted, increasing by five or six points each time.

In the outside world, there were no endless high-level Leader monsters to kill, so Shi Feng's skill level increased very quickly in the Origin Sword Domain. Originally, it would take a lot of time to improve skills, but Shi Feng only needed two days. His attack skills had all reached level 10 or higher, and some had even reached level 11.

As long as he broke through level 12, he could advance to a Tier 1 skill.

Although players had weapons and equipment to increase skill levels, this kind of increase would not cause a qualitative change in the skill. It would only increase from level 12 to level 14 or higher, but it could not be promoted to a Tier 1 skill. This required the player's own skill level to truly break through level 12.

As long as he mastered a Tier 1 skill, Shi Feng's combat power could increase a lot again, so Shi Feng patiently killed monsters outside Sword Peak Mountain.

Shi Feng kept finding and killing monsters, constantly using skills, so that his skill proficiency would increase rapidly, repeating mechanical work.

However, as he killed more and more monsters, Shi Feng also discovered a strange thing.

The drop rate of the Legacy Chapter and Broken Steel Design Drawing Fragments was getting lower and lower.

From the beginning, one would drop every four or five monsters, but now it took more than ten monsters to drop one. The more Legacy Chapters and Broken Steel Design Drawing Fragments Shi Feng had in his hand, the harder it was to collect them all.

If he didn't speed up the killing speed, he probably wouldn't be able to collect them all in three to five days.

But it must be said that in the outside world, it would take players eight or nine days to increase from level 11 to level 12, but in Shi Feng's hands, it only took a few hours, which was extremely efficient. After half a day in God's Domain, Shi Feng's Chop skill was promoted to a Tier 1 skill.

Chop, Action Type, requires Sword, adds 600 points of base damage, can continuously swing up to three times within one second, if it hits the same location, damage is increased by 50%, attack range is 6 yards, cooldown time is 3 seconds, skill level is Tier 1 Level 1 (Proficiency 0/30000).

Compared to the level 12 Chop, the base damage didn't increase much, but it could swing three times in one second, which was equivalent to using three Chops at once, and if it hit the same location, the damage would increase by 50%.

Compared to Tier 0 skills, Tier 1 skills not only had increased power, but also greatly increased the freedom of attack.

In other words, the more skilled the player, the higher the damage caused, which widened the gap between players even further.

This was also why Tier 1 players were much stronger than Tier 0 players of the same level, not to mention that Tier 1 players had more attributes and skills, which Tier 0 players simply couldn't compete with.

"It's been a long time since I used the Tier 1 Chop. Let's try it out on you."

Shi Feng rushed to the side of the Bone Giant and used the Tier 1 Chop. A layer of sharp sword energy appeared on the Abyss Blade, and he swung three swords in an instant.

The three sword energies merged into one, turning into a stronger and sharper sword energy, which slashed at the Bone Giant's joint.

-1376, -2048, -2062

In an instant, in addition to three high amounts of damage, the Bone Giant, which had not been moved by Shi Feng's attacks, suddenly fell to the ground. The power of a Tier 1 skill was evident.

After the Bone Giant fell to the ground, it was easier for Shi Feng to attack.

He suddenly used one skill after another.

As long as the Bone Giant stood up, he would use Chop again to attack the joints of its legs, knocking the Bone Giant down again.

Before long, the Bone Giant was easily killed by Shi Feng.

The battle, which originally took a lot of time, became much easier for Shi Feng to kill the Bone Giants and Blade Demons because of the Tier 1 Chop, and the efficiency of killing monsters became higher and higher, and the frequency of using skills became more and more frequent.

Shi Feng spent another two days and finally promoted the most difficult to improve Yan Lei Bao (Flame Lightning Storm) to a Tier 1 skill as well.

In this way, all of Shi Feng's attack skills that needed proficiency to improve became Tier 1 skills. Compared to before entering the Origin Sword Domain, Shi Feng's combat power had increased by a large margin.

"It's about time to enter Sword Peak Mountain."
