Chapter 993 – Second Mortal God
....“Second? Who?” Shi Feng asked, his voice trembling from excitement.
In his previous life, the Mortal God standard remained the highest achievable combat standard, even at the end of the war between the human race and the Holy Race. A Mortal God fully equipped with Divine Artifacts could more or less rival fifth-floor experts equipped with Divine Sets.
Now that he had the Flame God Set, the Guild would have three peerless combatants if Zero Wing could gain a second sixth-floor expert. That would put it on par with the weaker apex powers that had participated in the middle stages of the war in his previous life.
“You’ll never guess who it is,” Blackie said. After a pause for suspense, he continued, “If I hadn’t witnessed this person conquering the Tower of the Abyss’s fifth floor, I would never have believed it myself.”
“Is it Snow? Or Samsara?” Of everyone Shi Feng could think of, only Gentle Snow and Fervent Samsara could reach the sixth-floor standard so soon.
Gentle Snow had passed the Goddess of Space’s trials and achieved significant improvements. She also possessed an incredible talent for combat, so it wasn’t impossible for her to reach the sixth-floor standard so quickly.
As for Fervent Samsara, he was originally only a step away from the sixth-floor standard. The foundations he had laid for himself were not much weaker than Red Frost’s. Hence, he also had a good chance of achieving the sixth-floor standard.
“Neither,” Blackie said, grinning. “It’s Phoenix Rain!”
“Rain?” Blackie’s answer stunned Shi Feng.
Shi Feng remembered that Phoenix Rain had only reached the fifth-floor standard not long ago. Although the two Pseudo-Tier 7 Spells he gave her had significantly increased her combat power and allowed her to trade blows with sixth-floor experts, there remained a qualitative difference between her and sixth-floor experts in combat standards. After all, Phoenix Rain had learned barely any Gold Combat Techniques. It’d be ludicrous to expect her to develop her own Advanced Gold Combat Technique in such a short period.
“You’ll know once you meet her,” Blackie said, snickering. “You’ll definitely be surprised. You might not even be the strongest player in our Guild anymore.”
“Did she improve that much?” Shi Feng couldn’t help but chuckle at Blackie’s confidence. “It’s no longer that easy to surpass me now.”
Although he couldn’t fully utilize the Flame God Set, he already had the strength to fight Level 240 sixth-floor experts fully equipped with Divine Artifacts. A Mortal God without proper equipment and a sufficiently high level would not be a match for him.
Subsequently, Blackie summoned Phoenix Rain, who had returned from grinding in the Flame Dragon God’s Nest some time ago, to Shi Feng’s office.
When Phoenix Rain stepped into the room wearing a dark purple robe, Shi Feng couldn’t help but suspect he was hallucinating.
Level 242!
Before leaving for the Flame Dragon God’s Nest, Phoenix Rain was only Level 225. Yet, she was now one level higher than even South Lake, Holy Dragon Spear’s Great Commander. Her leveling speed was simply unbelievable.
When Shi Feng took a closer look at Phoenix Rain, he grew even more shocked.
“Are you really Phoenix Rain?” Shi Feng asked subconsciously.
What had undergone a tremendous change wasn’t just Phoenix Rain’s level but also her equipment. When Shi Feng saw her equipment, he truly believed he was hallucinating. After all, not only was she fully equipped with Fragmented Divine Artifacts, but the divine runes engraved on them also looked uniform and interconnected. It was obvious she was wearing an equipment set.
In other words, Phoenix Rain was equipped with a Fragmented Divine Set!
This was equivalent to the Flame God Set he had obtained. However, he only obtained the Flame God Set out of sheer luck. If he hadn’t been able to get a large amount of Undying Souls from Dragon’s Crown, he could never have redeemed the Flame God Set before the various pseudo-apex powers, and he would still be stuck with using Fragmented Legendary Equipment.
“Guild Leader, hasn’t it only been a while? Have you forgotten about me already?” Phoenix Rain joked.
“No, but haven’t you improved a little too much?” Shi Feng asked.
If it had only been an improvement in combat standards, he could have chalked it up to Phoenix Rain having a sudden inspiration. After all, nothing was certain when it came to a person’s understanding. However, it was a different story for weapons and equipment. These were not things that could be upgraded easily. Obtaining a Fragmented Divine Set required significant manpower, resources, and opportunities.
“It might seem unbelievable to outsiders, but anyone who has experienced the Flame Dragon God’s special trial grounds like I did wouldn’t find it surprising,” Phoenix Rain said, shaking her head. When she spoke of the Flame Dragon God’s special trial grounds, her eyes darkened with a hint of fear.
“The Flame Dragon God’s trial?” When Shi Feng heard the mention of the Flame Dragon God, he immediately understood how Phoenix Rain had achieved such an incredible improvement.
The Flame Dragon God was a Primordial Dragon, an existence matching Primordial Gods. Trials prepared by such existences were both a blessing and a disaster. Should players stumble upon such a trial and fail to pass it, the consequences were dire. Conversely, if players passed such a trial, they would reap life-changing rewards.
“I could only pass the trial thanks to the two Pseudo-Tier 7 Spells you gave me. Otherwise, it would have been impossible,” Phoenix Rain said.
The difficulty of the Flame Dragon God’s trial was beyond her imagination. Even sixth-floor experts wouldn’t be able to pass the trial if their strength was limited to the Tier 6 Limit standard. Fortunately, she had two Pseudo-Tier 7 Spells to turn things around. Otherwise, she would have had to start over with a new account.
While Phoenix Rain was describing the special trial grounds to Shi Feng, Blackie suddenly knocked on the door and entered the room with a serious expression.
“Guild Leader, three players suddenly appeared outside the Residence. They give off a powerful presence, and all three are above Level 240. The man leading the group is a sixth-floor expert, and I suspect that the other man and woman with him are also sixth-floor experts. They say that they are from a royal power named Silver Will, and they are here to meet you,” Blackie said worriedly. “But it doesn’t feel like they come with good intentions.”
