Shi Feng, Fire Dance, and Flying Shadow easily finished off Bane and everyone else wiped out the undead army. Shi Feng then inspected the loot they got, "this time it's a mage belt, now that makes four." Shi Feng gave the belt which was part of a five piece fragmented legendary accessory set called the Specter set to Violet Cloud.
[Specter Belt fragmented legendary rank] equipment requirements: Intelligence:1,200
Vitality:800
Improves all basic attributes by 40%, Physique by 20%
Additional Passive Skill: Mana Slide- Create a thin layer of mana that weakens attacks at and lower than player tier by 30% and above players tier by 10%. Effects increase by 10% with two piece set effect, 20% with three piece set effect, 30% with four piece set effect, and by 50% with five piece set effect.
Additional Active Skill: Spector Recover- Recover users mana from the souls of the recently killed upto 100%
Now Violet only needs one more to complete the set and while her attributes would still be slightly lower than Fire's and Snow's, the power of her skills will surpass theirs.
"Ok everyone rest up, after this we're going straight for the last few pyramids" Shi Feng informed the group.
They've been in the Undead World for almost two weeks now and been fighting nonstop, if it wasn't for the airships and combat puppets he had brought these fights would have lasted a lot longer.
But they also obtained much on this trip, in just two weeks the amount of rare materials they got were enough to make hundreds of dark gold equipment and dozens of epic equipment. They even got a lot of combat technique tablets, plenty of rare recipes, and designs that can elevate candlelight and the guilds strength. Quite a few battle arrays, called immortal undead arrays, and a few legacies, seven of which were intermediate legacies, four advanced legacies and one peak legacy called Shadow Saint. +
Shi Feng wasn't sure if Shadow Saint is one of God's Domain ten Saint legacies, because Lifeless Thorn has a legacy called Lightning Saint and that wasn't one of the ten Saint legacies, only a top tier peak legacy and he had also met a girl with a legacy called the Forest Saint legacy but again it was just a top tier peak legacy. He would have to ask Sharlyn when he gets back.
Everyone was able to get a lot of practice improving their combat techniques, skills and spells completion rate, as well as a few people learning mana techniques.
Shi Feng managed to accomplish his goal, in two weeks he managed to get over 8000 units of seven luminaries crystals, enough for his deal with Miao Jun, keep the Shining fortress running, create hundreds of moon strider sets, and build his ancient city in the Bermuda Islands. Using the space pen he transferred them to the main continent.
Everyone also made amazing leveling progress with everyone one average reaching level 139 while the main force and upper echelon were level 141-143, Shi Feng was level 143 himself, while superpowers peak experts are just getting to level 139. +
"We better hurry the Stable gemstones will only last a few more days." Because of the Chaos Noble expansion pack, the bad energies in neutral maps became even more difficult to deal with and in order to help the guild develop in these maps he had to give the majority of the Chaos Stables gemstones to them leaving only the invasion force two sets per player. If he didn't do this the other superpowers would have left Zero Wing in the dust when it came to neutral map exploration.
The army then spent the rest of the day destroying and raiding the rest of the undead world's Pyramids that housed the NPCs trying to enter the main continent and closing the portals they used to enter the main continent. These pyramids were not that hard to destroy, the only problem were the many traps in them and the final boss for each pyramid.
Shi Feng decided to save the last and biggest pyramid for tomorrow and logged out the game.
In the real world Shi Feng and the core upper echelon were currently having a meeting.
"Guild leader, Miao Jun, thanks you for the seven lumaneries crystals and is preparing the shipment of nutrient fluids. They should arrive by tomorrow," Liang Jing said.
"Perfect, we can expand the Heaven Rumble Dojo with this. Lei Bo, Lee Jun how are the disciples looking for the upcoming tournaments?" Shi Feng asked.
"Hall master the chosen disciples should all reach the top 20 for their respective tournaments. In fact many of them have already become internal force experts." Lei Bo informed him.
"That's right Hall Master. In fact there are a few that have the potential to become grandmasters, I think we should make those guys direct core disciples and provide them with more resources." Lee Jun added.
"Your right. Tell the participating members that those who enter the top 20 can become direct core disciples, and those who enter the top 10 will get a life elixir and any who takes first place will get three life elixirs and personal specialized training"
Now that he has completed his deal with Miao Jun he can afford to splurge on nutrient fluids. If Heaven Rumble can train a few more grandmasters and their safety would be assured. With the help of the nutrient fluids many of the experts that hadn't entered the refinement realm with the lucid world training may make a breakthrough to. After the world closed around 300 members entered the refinement realm. Now Zero Wing has 891 refinement realm experts, 578 flowing water realm experts, and 152 void realm experts. The guild can finally match superfirst rate guilds like Miracle and Divine Tribe. +
Thinking about this Shi Feng had a thought.
"Snow I decided we're going to form three new teams for the guild. They will be elite teams that do specialize work. Pick some talented people and one of the teams will be composed of our giants. Pick two people with good talent and a lot of contribution from the giants for a special bloodline."
Shi Feng decided it was time the guild had some powerful teams that specialize in certain aspects. He plans to give them all top tier resources like bloodlines special legacies and training on some of the guilds most powerful combat and mana techniques.
"Wow look at the time! Guys prepare for the ancient martial arts tournament, we leave in two hours." Shi Feng told the group.
Today is the day for the ancient martial arts tournament and he plans to make a big statement there. While Shi Feng was getting ready in his room his head started to hurt and to the point he almost fell to the ground. Leaning on the wall he made his way to his fridge and took out a life elixir and drank it. After a few seconds the pain was gone.
"What was that? My headaches have never been this bad" but as Shi Feng was about to breathe a sigh of relief another head splitting headache occurred and this one was much worse.
"Ahh damn it!" Shi Feng grabbed a bottle of the immortal drink then drank it. Even though this is his last one till the shipment arrives he didn't care, his life is more important.
"Ha. That was close. I have to do something about my brain activity or else I'll die soon." While he was wondering what to do about his brain he noticed something. The world around him became more vivid and colorful and when he focuses it's almost as if everything were moving in slow motion.
"Has my brain developed to that of a suprememaster!"
Supreme master is the stage above grandmasters and are almost a myth like existence in the world of martial arts.
"No my body hasn't reached that point yet maybe I'm just on the cusp of becoming one." Shi Feng thought. He had no idea how strong a suprememaster was and the requirements to be considered one but he knew he couldn't luck out and become one even with the help of immortal drinks. Deciding not to worry about it Shi Feng prepared his stuff and left with the others for the tournament.
In the middle of a luscious forest stood tall four 30 meter statues in a square positioning all displaying different martial arts poses. In the middle was a small stadium and even though this stadium was small it was extremely lavish and luxurious. Currently in the stadium multiple fights were being held as people watched. Those who could watch these fights were all from the highest level of society.
Powerful politicians, the heads of major corporations, and the hidden ancient martial arts families. This is the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament between the Five Great Families.
Inside one of the private rooms sat around a dozen people enjoying a meal and watching the fights. These people were the heads of the Fang family in Fenglin city.
"What do you think Grandpa, Father? We have already won this tournament right." Fang Minyu, the second son of the Fang family said with a hearty laugh.
"You did well little two, I did not expect those brats to make such amazing progress." Old man Fang the previous patriarch of the Fang family praised.
Currently their fighters were topping the leader boards with the most wins.
As everyone was enjoying the fights and food, Fang Zhenyuan the current head of the Fang family noticed something.
"Shihan what's the matter, you've barely touched your plate," Fang Zhenyuan said to Fang Shihan who is also known as Cold Shadow.
When she heard him speak she snapped out of her daze.
"My apologies father, I just have a lot on my mind right now."
"If it's about Zero Wing don't worry about it little sis. As soon as this tournament is over with I'll personally deal with them myself." Fang Xioatian, the eldest son of the Fang family, responded. +
He still remembers the time Shi Feng had humiliated him in the red stone restaurant. Up until now their attempts to annex Zero Wing has ended in failure, but now that he can devote his full attention to it, the detestable workshop won't escape his grasp.
"Calm down little ones. This is a time to enjoy ourselves. Little Shihan do not worry about such matters right now, ok," Old man Fang said.
"Ok Grandfather."
They all then focused their attention to the fights. As the event was nearing its middle stages an uproar occurred on the tournament floor putting a pause to the fights. Seven individuals had just brazenly walked in and stole a mic from one of the referees. The aristocrats were all amazed by this man's bravery. This is the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, who would dare disrupt it like this. When the Fang Family saw this person their eyes went wide with shock.
As the individual grabbed the mic, he cleared his throat and spoke for all to hear.
"Hello everyone and forgive our late arrival. Some of you may know me and some may not. I am Shi Feng, The Heaven Rumble training center Hall Master. And today Heaven Rumble challenges you all to a fight."
