Chapter 1 Golden Hall

Inside the magnificent hall, a hundred people surrounded a large screen suspended in mid-air.

"That newbie is really unlucky."

"More like impetuous. Challenging a veteran without even completing his training."

"Newbies are always like this. They rely on their skill within their own guilds, thinking they can beat Violent Bear. Does he really think combat points are that easy to earn?"

The crowd watched the screen, discussing with laughter. It seemed such events had become a condiment in their lives.

As for a newbie defeating them, the veterans?

Their response was a simple chuckle.

"Sure enough, Violent Bear is bullying a newbie again. Last time, he tricked one, and now he's doing it again," Kong Haoran sighed, watching the imminent battle.

"Didn't you say the newbie actively challenged Violent Bear? How did it become tricking the newbie?" Shi Feng asked, puzzled.

"You don't know. Violent Bear did the same thing last time. The newbie had 100 combat points, but Violent Bear was willing to bet 500. Newbies who come here are usually top experts in their guilds, or possess great potential, so they are very confident in their strength," Kong Haoran explained. "But they forget that the experts nurtured by Tianji Pavilion are equally impressive. Only a few outstanding ones get a spot here."

"These people have a high chance of becoming the backbone of Tianji Pavilion in the future. Before entering this training system, they were top-tier experts in first-rate guilds. Not to mention, after more than a month of combat here, their combat skills have greatly improved."

"Violent Bear is very strong. Among the 350 training members, he ranks 141st. He's not an expert a newcomer can provoke."

Shi Feng deeply agreed.

In God's Domain, first-rate guilds and super guilds were completely different worlds. Some players might reign supreme in a first-rate guild, but they were nothing in a super guild. Most outstanding newcomers each year came from super guilds and top-tier guilds.

Even if a newcomer emerged, it was due to extraordinary talent, like Bai Qingsnow. Water Rose was a newcomer cultivated from a super guild. Of course, Water Rose was only in the outer layers of the super guild and didn't receive the core internal training. If Water Rose had stayed in the super guild and signed a series of contracts, she might have been constantly training and improving in the simulation training system.

"This is quite interesting." Shi Feng looked at the screen, a smile playing on his lips.

On the screen, one side was a strong man, bigger than Cola, a Berserker wielding a giant axe. The other side was an acquaintance of Shi Feng's, Red Feather, an Elementalist from Star River Alliance. Red Feather looked the same as in God's Domain. He clearly hadn't adjusted his appearance after entering God's Domain, unlike Shi Feng, who had made adjustments. His current appearance was quite different from his appearance in God's Domain.

Recently, Red Feather ranked 934th on the Wind and Cloud Expert List. However, due to the recent emergence of many experts, his ranking had dropped a bit, but his combat skills were not to be underestimated.

The training system's simulation of God's Domain classes was very accurate, almost identical. However, the basic attributes of both sides were based on the respective classes without any weapon, equipment, or talent bonuses. The level was also set at Level 30, and the skills mastered were the basic skills of each class, without any special skills. It was purely a battle of skill.

As soon as the battle started, Red Feather launched a fierce attack, using Ice Arrows while creating obstacles with Ice Walls or Frozen Orbs, a two-pronged approach that ordinary experts couldn't handle.

However, the Berserker known as Violent Bear was unmoved. He easily dodged the attacks of numerous Ice Arrows and used the opportunity to close the distance, constantly forcing Red Feather to retreat.

In just over ten seconds of combat, Red Feather's HP dropped to half, while Violent Bear was only frozen by an Ice Ring and blocked a few Ice Arrows and Fireballs, reducing his HP by about 10%. Red Feather had already used his Blink skill and was completely at a disadvantage.

In Shi Feng's opinion, Red Feather was doing very well. Ordinary expert players would have been defeated by Red Feather's continuous attacks and Ice Wall combinations. Unfortunately, Violent Bear was not simple.

Ordinary experts didn't have complete control over their bodies. Facing Red Feather's attacks, they would definitely be busy dodging and blocking. But Violent Bear had excellent control over his body. With agile shifts at critical moments, he easily dodged Red Feather's delicate attacks and step by step forced Red Feather into a dead end.

It could be said that the outcome of the battle was already decided before it even began.

Red Feather hadn't reached the Half-step Refinement Realm yet and had no way to deal with the close-quarters Violent Bear. But Violent Bear had already entered the Refinement Realm. The difference in combat skills was like heaven and earth. Under the same attributes, without special skills and items, Red Feather had no chance of winning.

As expected, less than a minute into the battle, Red Feather was chased down by Violent Bear with a Charge and taken away with a Whirlwind Slash.

"Hahaha, Little Noob, consider the 100 points you lost in this battle as tuition. Welcome to challenge me again next time." After being teleported out, the young man known as Violent Bear cast a disdainful look at Red Feather, who looked angry, and then turned to leave. "So refreshing. With a hundred points, I can find a decent opponent to practice against for a day."

"You..."

Red Feather wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Zi Tong.

"Red Feather, you are not his opponent yet. This person has obviously stepped into that realm," Zi Tong sternly advised, her words filled with helplessness and some excitement.

Although her strength was slightly stronger than Red Feather's, the difference was limited. There was still a considerable gap between her and the departing Violent Bear.

In the past few years, she had been fighting alongside Star River Past, defeating so many well-known experts. She believed that she had improved a lot since leaving the super guild, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't compare with the internal experts carefully cultivated by the major forces in God's Domain.

Refinement Realm experts, who were extremely rare in God's Domain, were everywhere here…

And Violent Bear, a Refinement Realm expert, could only rank 141st. Zi Tong finally understood how terrifying the foundations of these giants in the virtual gaming world were. What she had seen before was just the tip of the iceberg.

"Hmm, I haven't seen you before. You just entered the training system, right? Are you interested in a match? If I win, you give me 100 points. If you win, I'll give you 500 points, how about it?" Violent Bear glanced at Shi Feng as he walked towards the exchange counter and immediately walked forward, saying with a grin, "Combat points are very precious here. Those ranked after 300th only get 20 points a day, those ranked from 201st to 300th get 50 points, those ranked from 151st to 200th get 100 points, those ranked from 101st to 150th get 200 points, those ranked from 51st to 100th get 300 points a day, as for the top 50, don't even think about it."

"How about a match? If you get 500 points, you can spar with those top experts all day."

"Violent Bear, that's enough," Kong Haoran said sternly, stepping forward.
