Chapter 1 A Big Change

Just as Shi Feng was constantly practicing the Tier 2 Forbidden Skill, Instant Strike, a great change was also taking place in the Abyssal Realm.

The Fifth District was destroyed overnight, and more than half of the players in the entire Fifth District disappeared.

This was completely unimaginable for the players in the Abyssal Realm. What could have caused the destruction of the fifth-ranked Sanctuary in the Abyssal Realm?

Such terrifying power was something no Sanctuary in the Abyssal Realm could withstand.

Immediately, a strong sense of crisis permeated the entire Abyssal Realm.

First District Sanctuary.

"Captain Qing Shuang, what do we do now?" Bai Shi Lun Hui, the leader of the Second Team, said worriedly. "According to the information we have, the Fifth District seems to have been destroyed by an attack from a large number of powerful monsters. These monsters are all above Level 40. With the strength of our First District, we can also deal with monsters of this level, but from the mouths of the returning players, these monster attacks even included many Lord-ranked monsters."

"But that's not the most terrifying thing. On the outskirts of the Fifth District, our people encountered survivors from the Fifth District. According to the people from the Fifth District, what really destroyed their Fifth District wasn't those Lord-ranked monsters at all, but even more terrifying monsters. However, the distance was too far, and that person didn't see clearly, only knowing that the monster just waved its hand and used black flames to kill hundreds of players. Even Xing Tian, the strongest in the Fifth District, was instantly killed by that monster."

"If we stay in this area, we might encounter that monster's attack."

"Although the strength of our First District is much stronger than the Fifth District, we have no power to resist that level of monster."

Bai Shi Lun Hui's words silenced everyone present.

The enemy that destroyed the Fifth District was too terrifying.

It was very difficult to upgrade a Sanctuary to this level. If it were breached, the Sanctuary's level would also drop by one level, from a Medium Sanctuary to a Small Sanctuary. The advantage of Hundred Berry Wine all along would disappear, and it was unknown whether the Hundred Berry Wine would be available next time it was promoted to a Medium Sanctuary.

However, transferring the Sanctuary to a lower-level area was not an easy task. The time during the day probably wouldn't be enough to go back and forth, greatly limiting the development of the Sanctuary.

"Everyone, listen to me, now is the opportunity for our First District." Qing Shuang pondered for a long time, a hint of excitement rising from the corner of her mouth.

"Opportunity?"

"What opportunity?"

Everyone didn't understand what Qing Shuang was thinking.

"I think you've all heard that after this happened, many Sanctuaries that didn't want to join guild forces before now want to join. They all want to be protected by the guild forces, and if it doesn't work out, they can transfer to the large Sanctuaries of the guild forces to develop." Qing Shuang said, "And we have also joined the Zero Wing Guild, but unlike other Sanctuaries, the Zero Wing Guild we joined is very powerful."

"You've all seen the design drawings for the Magic Teleportation Array. Brother Ye Feng also said that as long as we gather the materials for the Magic Teleportation Array, he will build one for our Sanctuary. If we can annex other Sanctuaries, our position in the Zero Wing Guild will also increase. I don't think everyone wants to be just a team leader of a Sanctuary, right?"

Everyone agreed. Some of the things that Zero Wing had shown fully demonstrated Zero Wing's power, especially Shi Feng's terrifying combat power and the large amount of funds already in the account. They even provided training grounds. As long as their contribution and position to Zero Wing could be further improved, they could go to the Beidou Fitness Center in Jin Hai City for special combat skills training.

In reality, they also inquired about the Beidou Fitness Center.

Every city has training halls and fitness centers. If you want to improve your combat skills, it's definitely good to have someone to guide you, but you don't know until you ask, and you'll be shocked when you ask.

The Beidou Fitness Center actually had martial arts masters stationed there and had become a well-known fitness center. Many fighting athletes from surrounding cities would go there to train, and ordinary people simply had no chance to go there.

Moreover, I don’t know how many credits are spent there every day, which ordinary people simply cannot afford.

They were not clear about the concept of a first-rate guild, but they knew how valuable a martial arts master was. That was the ultimate martial force of mankind. If they could learn a trick or two from a martial arts master, it would definitely be a huge boost to their combat in God's Domain.

The fact that the Zero Wing Guild could allow them to conduct special training directly at Beidou showed the extent of its financial resources and power, which simply exceeded their understanding of ordinary game guilds.

Although they had earned some money through God's Domain, they simply could not afford to spend it in that kind of place.

If they could become a high-level member of Zero Wing, they would definitely have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

"I think everyone is clear about what a Magic Teleportation Array represents. What we have to do now is to recruit other Sanctuaries and get the materials for the Magic Teleportation Array as soon as possible, evacuate this area, and then rely on the Magic Teleportation Array to come to this area in the future."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Qing Shuang's explanation.

It was too difficult for them to control other Sanctuaries before, but after this incident, it would be difficult not to control them. They didn't know how much money and resources they could earn with the Magic Teleportation Array.

So the leaders of each team began to organize manpower to collect the materials for the Magic Teleportation Array, and at the same time persuaded other Sanctuaries to join the First District Sanctuary, so that the people of these Sanctuaries could use their First District's Magic Teleportation Array.

Inside the Dark Temple, Shi Feng had been practicing the Tier 2 Forbidden Skill, Instant Strike, for five hours.

However, after five hours of practice, Shi Feng seemed to have become a veteran who had practiced for many years. His movements were smooth and flowing, as if they were exactly the same as the holographic image provided in the skill book.

"Still a little short. Tier 2 Forbidden Skills are indeed not so easy to improve."

Although Shi Feng had tried his best to improve the completion rate, he always maintained it at around 93%, with the highest being 95%. He simply couldn't make any progress.

This was still with the help of the Abyssal Blade, a Demonic Weapon, and Hundred Berry Wine. Otherwise, it would take at least a few days to reach a 95% completion rate.

Time was running out. A bottle of Hundred Berry Wine could only last for an hour, and he only had three bottles of Hundred Berry Wine left, which could not last until the end.

"Human, you should give up. Tier 2 Forbidden Skills have great power. It's not that I'm looking down on you, but if you want to master Tier 2 Forbidden Skills, you need at least ten more days of hard training." The Fallen Angel Serena saw through Shi Feng's current level at a glance. "You have completely mastered the movements, but unfortunately your understanding is not enough. With less than five hours left, it would be great if you could steadily improve by 1%."

"Not enough understanding?" Shi Feng also felt this way, always feeling a little short, just like the last time when his slash broke through to 101%, but that feeling was fleeting, and he couldn't grasp it.

Understanding?

Compatibility?

"Is the understanding that Serena is talking about compatibility?"

Shi Feng didn't think much about it. There wasn't enough time. If he failed, he wouldn't have time to wait for the next challenge to the World Peak, because there was a ten-day cooldown period for challenging the World Peak. Shi Feng immediately took out all the Hundred Berry Wine from his backpack and drank three bottles in one go. Even with Shi Feng's will and mental strength, he felt dizzy.

Hundred Berry Wine was like Black Iron Beer. The more you drank, the better the effect, but the corresponding side effects would also be greater. It was best to drink one bottle, which could keep you awake, steadily improve the completion rate, and find shortcomings. Drinking too much would easily cause you to get drunk.

Now Shi Feng drank three bottles in one go, and his compatibility instantly increased by a large margin.

"This feeling is really great."

For the first time, Shi Feng had a feeling of oneness between man and sword. He couldn't help but wave the Abyssal Blade and use Instant Strike. Every movement was very gentle, and he didn't use too much force.

The originally smooth and flowing movements suddenly changed. The blurry sword shadows that were originally caused by the excessive speed were gone. The Abyssal Blade in Shi Feng's hand became clearly visible, faintly carrying a trace of cyan electric arcs that filled the surroundings. The air made crackling sounds, and everything touched by the cyan electric arcs turned into coke.

System: Instant Strike skill completion rate 100%.
