Chapter 1675 Epic Rank?

After Xia Lian finished casting the magic array, a series of system notifications rang in Shi Feng's ears.

System: Congratulations to the player for completing the Tier 3 class advancement quest and obtaining the Saint's Legacy. Legacy completion is 85%, granting you an Epic rank advanced legacy. You have four hours to construct a Mana Body.

System: Congratulations to the player for being the first to complete the Tier 3 class advancement quest, granting an additional hour to construct a Mana Body.

"Epic rank?!" Shi Feng was stunned by the system notification.

He had never heard of this rank before. The highest he had heard of was Gold rank. Experts who could reach Gold rank in the Tier 3 class advancement were one in ten thousand. Each of them could be considered a hegemon in the neutral maps above level 100, a headache for the various major powers.

This was because a Gold rank Mana Body not only had a high adaptability to harsh environments, but also had an extraordinary recovery speed for stamina and mental strength. They could absorb the surrounding mana to recover themselves, with a recovery speed 30% to 60% higher than ordinary people. Such experts, even without stamina recovery equipment, were still unmatched by ordinary experts in the wild. They could freely move around in the level 100 neutral maps, and even super powers would find it difficult to encircle and suppress them.

They could be said to be a group of carefree people.

This was also why, after God's Domain reached level 100, the suppression of free players by the major super powers suddenly decreased, allowing those top adventure groups to challenge the super powers. The representative of this was the Midnight Tea Party.

It was extremely difficult to join the Midnight Tea Party. One of the conditions was to reach a Gold rank Mana Body during the Tier 3 class advancement. Such a group of experts with Gold rank Mana Bodies in the level 100 neutral maps was something even super powers had to accept, as not everyone could move around in the level 100 neutral maps as freely as a Gold rank Mana Body.

As for the Epic rank Mana Body, he had never heard of it at all.

Moreover, he was given a full four hours to construct the Mana Body. Previously, he was only allowed one hour to construct a Bronze rank Mana Body, and even a Gold rank Mana Body only had two hours. The Epic rank immediately increased to four hours, which could be said to be quite sufficient.

The construction of the Mana Body was largely the same, depending on what the player could ultimately achieve. However, this required a lot of time for experimentation before it could be finalized.

"You can start constructing the Mana Body now. Remember, you only have five hours. If the construction fails, the magic array will only guide the mana to form the most ordinary Mana Body for you. All your previous efforts will be in vain." Xia Lian finished reciting the last section of the incantation and earnestly reminded Shi Feng.

"Yes!" Shi Feng also understood the severity of the situation.

The completion of the Tier 3 class advancement quest already represented becoming a Tier 3 class. When the origin mana was triggered during the Tier 3 promotion, it would automatically strengthen the body. The so-called legacy was just using this triggered origin mana to further improve the strengthening of the body.

Immediately, Shi Feng began to carefully examine the three mana structure diagrams suspended in the magic array.

These three structure diagrams were completely different, and each one was more complex and refined than the previous one. The simplest one was several times more complex than the top-tier Bronze structure diagram Shi Feng had seen before. It not only involved magic arrays, but also involved some divine runes and precise control of mana.

If it were an ordinary player, they might be able to imitate this structure diagram, but the completion of the Mana Body would definitely not be high.

Legacies were divided into Bronze, Silver, and Gold, but these were just further enhancements of the Mana Body. However, the completion of the structure diagram affected the player's future combat power.

This was because the completion of the structure diagram would affect the player's future control over magic skills. If the structure diagram was poor and the body's mana conductivity was poor, the completion of magic skills would probably be difficult to reach above 90%, because magic skills after Tier 3 would involve the player's body mana guidance and manipulation, allowing the power of the magic skills to undergo qualitative changes.

This was why many expert players would rather choose a structure diagram that was one level lower than the same rank.

This way, players could obtain a relatively perfect Mana Body, which would not affect their future combat power and would also help with the Tier 4 class advancement in the future.

Soon, Shi Feng spent more than ten minutes to read through the three structure diagrams.

"Although the advanced structure diagram is very complex, even involving multi-line manipulation of mana for guidance, I have a full five hours, so I have plenty of time to try." Shi Feng directly selected the advanced structure diagram and began to guide mana to construct his own Mana Body.

Although Mana Bodies of the same level did not differ much in terms of environmental adaptability, there were significant differences in recovery and physical defense.

After players reached Tier 3 and constructed their Mana Bodies, their defense may not change at all, but the toughness of their bodies was no longer comparable to Tier 2 classes. This was like those monsters, whose tough skin and flesh were difficult to break even with Dark-Gold rank weapons.

The player's Mana Body was the same, greatly increasing the player's physical toughness, forming a layer of mana defense. Ordinary attacks could be said to hardly cause a player's combat power to decrease.

The more advanced the structure diagram, the stronger the body's toughness, and even the body's self-healing was much faster. This was why they were feared by the major kingdoms and empires after reaching Tier 3.

This was because the body had reached a true extraordinary body.

Time passed, and Shi Feng spent nearly twenty minutes to complete the first mana shaping.

The moment the shaping was successful, Shi Feng felt that the power of his whole body had undergone a qualitative change compared to before. The surrounding mana automatically poured into his body, even making his perception much clearer.

System: Mana Body construction completed, completion 64%, accept?

"Barely passing? As expected, this advanced structure diagram is difficult to guide." Shi Feng smiled as he looked at the completion. "But to reach this level with only 64% completion, the Epic rank Mana Body is really powerful."

The structure diagram generally reached 60% to pass. This level could be achieved by natural mana guidance. It was almost impossible for this level to reach more than 90% completion of Tier 3 magic skills.

Generally, it had to reach 75% to not affect the performance of magic skills.

In his previous life, his top-tier Bronze Mana Body had a high completion of 95%. This completion allowed his body to only have its skin scratched even when facing ordinary attacks from Mysterious-Iron rank weapons, with negligible impact on his combat power.

In this life, he did not seek to reach 95%. After all, the difficulty of the structure diagram was too different, and it was no longer the same level. He only hoped to reach 80%, so that the body's mana guidance would not be affected, and the defense would be basically formed. With the level of the Epic rank Mana Body, perhaps only Mithril rank weapons could truly injure him and reduce his combat power.

Immediately, Shi Feng began to try again. This time, with the previous experience, Shi Feng no longer blindly sought speed, especially in the face of some places that required precise control, and proceeded slowly.

This time, Shi Feng spent more than half an hour, and the completion of the structure diagram finally reached 72%, only a slight difference from the 75% level.

In the third attempt, Shi Feng spent a full hour, but the completion was only 74%, still less than 75%, but nearly half the time had been spent.

"Where is the difference?"

Shi Feng looked at the advanced structure diagram, a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Nearly half the time had been spent, but the advanced structure diagram had not yet reached the standard. If he wasted time, perhaps there would not be enough time to reach the standard for the intermediate structure diagram.

However, every step he took when guiding mana was extremely precise, striving for perfection. However, under such circumstances, he had only reached 74%, which was unbelievable compared to when he could reach 95% completion of the structure diagram even when he had not yet reached the level of Insight.

"That's not right!" Shi Feng suddenly came back to his senses. "Back then, my mana guidance was not as precise as it is now. Many places were even guided casually, but the completion could be as high as 95%. Although the current structure diagram is much more complex, with my current level, it should not be difficult to control, and it should have reached the standard long ago."

"Could it be because I am too perfectionistic, causing the operation of mana to be too consistent, which has reduced the effect?"

Thinking of this, Shi Feng began to try again. This time, he no longer strived for every step to be precise, but only precise in some places, and some places were just brushed over.

This time, it only took less than half an hour to complete.

The moment it was completed, Shi Feng felt that his five senses had undergone a qualitative change compared to before, and even felt that the surrounding mana was much closer.

System: Mana Body construction completed, completion 91%, accept?
