Chapter 1 Hearing the Challenge

Upon hearing Shi Feng accept One Sword Chasing Wind’s challenge, Qing Shuang and the others, who knew of Shi Feng’s strength, were quite surprised.

Although PK was common within the Sanctuary, it was mostly for guidance.

For example, Qing Niu, the first berserker of their team, would not have sparred with One Sword Chasing Wind if he hadn’t seen his great potential and rapid progress. He was simply guiding One Sword Chasing Wind.

Not to mention Shi Feng, a loner who had no connection to their First Zone.

"Since Ye Feng is going to guide Chasing Wind, that's wonderful." Qing Shuang was naturally happy to have Shi Feng guide One Sword Chasing Wind, and immediately instructed, "Xi Lian, go to the Lionheart Bar and make preparations, especially for the Hundred Fruit Brew. Buy up all of today's stock."

"I'll go right away." The female priest Xi Lian, upon hearing this, turned and quickly ran to the Lionheart Bar.

However, some of the people who came to greet Qing Shuang couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.

"Who is this Ye Feng? Captain Qing Shuang is actually being so generous as to book the entire Lionheart Bar!"

"I remember it costs more than three gold coins just to book the Lionheart Bar."

"You think it's just the gold coins? Booking the Lionheart Bar also requires a lot of contribution points. Moreover, the booking fee is nothing compared to the Hundred Fruit Brew. A single bottle of Hundred Fruit Brew costs not only one gold coin but also two hundred contribution points. I have to do contribution quests for ten days just to gather two hundred points. And there are only twenty bottles of Hundred Fruit Brew available each day. That's twenty gold coins and four thousand contribution points, which is even more valuable than a soul crystal."

Everyone turned their gazes towards Shi Feng, a hint of awe mixed with curiosity in their hearts.

The Lionheart Bar was the most high-end bar in their First Zone Sanctuary. Even Qing Shuang’s first team would feel a pang of pain when spending money there, let alone booking the entire place and serving Hundred Fruit Brew. Even the captains of the first teams from other Sanctuaries wouldn't have such qualifications.

Afterward, Qing Shuang led Shi Feng toward the Lionheart Bar, introducing the situation of the First Zone along the way.

One Sword Chasing Wind also followed beside them, filled with fighting spirit, eager to know just how powerful Shi Feng was to be so respected by Qing Shuang.

Shi Feng's keen senses far surpassed those of ordinary players, so he naturally felt One Sword Chasing Wind's burning fighting spirit.

"His personality really is the same; he wants to constantly challenge the strong. No wonder he will become the number one player below Tier 6 in the future," Shi Feng thought to himself.

In his previous life, both Qing Shuang and One Sword Chasing Wind were well-known experts in God's Domain.

The first-rate guild Illusionary World, led by Thousand Illusions and Myriad Destructions, became a powerful guild surpassing Ouroboros because of these experts.

However, Thousand Illusions and Myriad Destructions didn't receive the epic quest of the Dark Descent in this life, so naturally, he wouldn't come here to recruit these people, but Shi Feng could.

If he could recruit Qing Shuang and the others into the Zero Wing Guild, Zero Wing would undoubtedly become even stronger.

Before long, Shi Feng and the others arrived at the Lionheart Bar.

The Lionheart Bar was unlike other bars. It was a bar that could only be built when a Sanctuary had developed to a certain extent. The resident NPCs here were very powerful, with the lowest level being 150. The bartender was a Tier 2 NPC at level 180, and the proprietress was a Tier 3 NPC at level 200. She could guard a small city, and even if the entire Sanctuary was breached by monsters, this place would not be breached.

Besides being able to come here to drink, you could also PK inside, much like an underground arena on the outside. Players could place bets, so it was very popular among the players in the First Zone.

However, Qing Shuang had booked the entire place, and there were hardly any people inside the three-story bar.

Inside the Lionheart Bar, it felt like an ancient Roman arena. In the center was a ring, and all around were spectator stands where people could drink and watch the matches on the ring.

As soon as Shi Feng entered a large private room, he found many people sitting inside. Each of them had an astonishing aura, wore magnificent equipment, and was at least level 28. None of them were ordinary players.

"Brother Ye Feng, let me introduce you. These people are all the top ten squad leaders and vice-captains of my First Zone. They heard that Brother Ye Feng was coming here, so they all wanted to come and get to know you." Qing Shuang introduced Shi Feng to each of them.

"Hello, I am Hundred Life Reincarnation, the captain of the Second Squad!"

"Hello, Brother Ye Feng, I am Ashen Moon, the captain of the Third Squad."

...

These people introduced themselves one by one, without the slightest arrogance of those in high positions. Instead, they seemed like frequent companions.

In fact, Shi Feng knew these people even without introductions.

That's right, he knew them all. These people were all high-level members of the Illusionary World Guild.

Seeing Qing Shuang and One Sword Chasing Wind was one thing, but now even the high-level members of the Illusionary World Guild had appeared. Shi Feng even suspected that this First Zone was the headquarters of the first-rate guild, Illusionary World.

After a brief conversation, Shi Feng truly understood why Qing Shuang had called these people over.

Unlike other Sanctuaries, this squad had greater ambitions.

They didn't care about the title of First Zone in this region. What they wanted was to leave this region and become the number one Sanctuary in all regions. So they all stuck together. Unlike other Sanctuaries, where squads were not companions but rather enemies.

Because of this, the First Zone Sanctuary was able to build the Lionheart Bar so quickly, while other Sanctuaries didn't have such high-end establishments.

As the conversation continued, Qing Shuang also mentioned Shi Feng's feat of killing the Grand Lord Noah and slaying many Elite monsters along the way, which immediately shocked everyone.

The various squads were also at a loss when it came to Grand Lord Noah. Only the First Squad had a slight chance. They didn't expect Shi Feng to kill Grand Lord Noah alone. Even if Noah was in a weakened state, it was still a remarkable feat.

"Brother Qing Shuang, you're too unfair. You didn't even record a video for us to watch."

"That's right, this is definitely a legend in the entire God's Domain."

The crowd complained, feeling sorry for not having witnessed Shi Feng's performance in person. At the same time, they became even more awed by Shi Feng.

"Hahaha, I was stunned at the time. By the time I remembered, the battle was already over." Qing Shuang scratched his head in embarrassment. "However, it's not like you don't have a chance now. Brother Ye Feng will be guiding Chasing Wind in a while, so you will naturally be able to see Brother Ye Feng's prowess."

"Captain, can I have a drink of Hundred Fruit Brew before the match?" One Sword Chasing Wind previously thought that Shi Feng was just an ordinary solo expert. He didn't expect that Shi Feng could actually kill a Grand Lord alone, so he immediately regarded Shi Feng as the strongest expert ever. He hurriedly asked Qing Shuang, feeling a little embarrassed.

"If you were facing someone else, I really wouldn't be willing to part with the Hundred Fruit Brew. Here, take this bottle." Qing Shuang shook his head with a smile and handed a bottle of cyan-blue wine from the table to One Sword Chasing Wind.

"Thank you, Captain!" One Sword Chasing Wind quickly took the Hundred Fruit Brew.

One Sword Chasing Wind looked at the Hundred Fruit Brew like a hungry wolf seeing meat. In a few gulps, he emptied the bottle. After drinking it, a flush immediately appeared on his face, clearly showing that he was a little drunk.

"Hahaha, you're drunk after just one bottle. It seems Chasing Wind still needs to practice more!" The others couldn't help but laugh.

Although he was drunk, Shi Feng could clearly feel that One Sword Chasing Wind gave off a different feeling.

If before he was a drawn blade, now he was a sheathed sword. It would remain in its sheath until drawn, and when drawn, it would surely take lives.

The others didn't find it strange and instead took it for granted.

"What exactly is going on?" Shi Feng couldn't help but be astonished. "Could this be related to the Hundred Fruit Brew?"
