Chapter 1377 Magic Body Unlocked

The terrifying magic power fluctuations from the NPC knight's swing of his blade made Shi Feng wary, and he directly drew his twin swords to meet the attack.

Against a newly promoted Tier 3 NPC or a Tier 3 NPC below level 100, it wouldn't be a problem, but against a Tier 3 NPC whose Magic Body was already unlocked, even he could be killed if he wasn't careful.

In God's Domain, the biggest difference between Tier 2 and Tier 3 was the Magic Body.

Having a Magic Body and not having a Magic Body were completely different concepts, and unlocking a Magic Body versus not unlocking it were equally different concepts.

The difference between the two was like that of an ordinary player and a micro expert, even greater than that difference.

This was why some Tier 3 NPCs in kingdom and empire towns could become magistrates, while others could only be team leaders in towns, and some could only guard the gates of the palace. The difference was due to the unlocking of the Magic Body.

Tier 3 NPCs who could unlock the Magic Body were all elites among their peers and could no longer be treated as ordinary NPCs. They could be called experts among NPCs.

These Tier 3 NPC experts could crush other Tier 3 NPCs just as expert players could crush ordinary players…

Three NPC knights instantly slashed at Shi Feng from three directions.

The movements of these three NPC knights were uniform, as if they had been partners for more than ten years. Two assisted, and one attacked Shi Feng's blind spot. The power was so strong that they could easily blast away a Great Lord of the same level and kill Tier 3 players with ease.

However, the perfect cooperation of the three NPC knights held no secrets for Shi Feng, who had already mastered the Domain. He could see their attack trajectories clearly.

"Break!"

Shi Feng swung his sword, striking the blade of the NPC knight attacking his blind spot with one blow, forcibly deflecting the NPC knight's attack trajectory. The NPC knight's blade, guided by Shi Feng, then collided with the attack trajectories of the other two NPC knights.

Bang, bang, bang!

As the sound of metal clashing rang out, the three NPC knights retreated on the spot. However, after this blow, Shi Feng couldn't help but take half a step back, his arm trembling slightly.

"Is this the test of the Golden Gate?" Shi Feng looked at the humming of his sword and clicked his tongue in amazement. He couldn't help but worry about Aqua Rose and the others.

In this space with almost no magic power, even with a Magic Body, one's strength could only be发挥 (fāhuī – brought into play) half its potential.

Although he had only been in contact for a short time, he could see that the three NPCs in front of him had the level of the fifth floor of the Trial Tower. Their combat level was not high, but the level of their Magic Body had definitely reached the Silver rank. Otherwise, with his attributes, even if the strength effect was greatly reduced, he wouldn't have had his arm numb with shock.

If he was like this, one could imagine what it would be like for others.

Moreover, this was only at the foot of the mountain. He hadn't even started climbing…

The test of the Inheritance Gate was to climb the mountain. The higher one went, the stronger the opponents would be. The only fortunate thing was that these opponents that appeared didn't need to be killed. As long as one could survive their attacks, which meant lasting for thirty minutes, one could pass the test.

However, player battles rarely lasted for ten minutes, let alone fighting NPCs for thirty minutes.

But after this brief exchange, Shi Feng clearly felt the magic circuits and the use of their own magic power of these three NPC knights.

This was difficult to feel outside because the surrounding area was filled with a lot of magic power, but here there was almost no magic power, so the magic power of these NPCs became unusually conspicuous. Even he, who wasn't a magic class, could clearly perceive it.

However, the Magic Bodies of these three NPC knights were only Silver rank, and the magic structure involved was much simpler than his Epic Magic Body, so there was very little to learn from.

Of course, even so, it was much better than his previous experience in unlocking the Bronze Magic Body.

After Shi Feng repelled the three NPC knights with one blow, the three NPC knights quickly attacked again, not giving Shi Feng a chance to breathe.

This time, the attack was directly changed to one knight taking the lead, and the remaining two knights condensed magic power from the side, crushing Shi Feng with strength. They were very smart not to play a technical battle with Shi Feng, but to fight head-on, which made it difficult for Shi Feng to fight.

In terms of attributes alone, he definitely surpassed these Tier 3 knights, but the power of the blade, after being amplified by magic power, was not something he could resist at all. This forced him to retreat constantly, without any way to fight back. Fortunately, the magic power could only amplify the power of the blade and could not bring about any substantial damage effect.

Ten minutes… Fifteen minutes… Twenty minutes…

As the battle continued, Shi Feng became more and more excited.

Because he found that although he couldn't borrow the magic structure of the Magic Bodies of these NPC knights, he could learn from and imitate the magic guidance and application of the Magic Body itself. This was like drawing magic arrays, except that each NPC knight's magic array was a little different, but the overall difference was not significant.

"It should be about the same now."

Shi Feng looked at the NPC knights who were rushing up again and began to silently guide the magic power emanating from his body, allowing the magic power to flow to the Holy Sword, Killing Ray, in his hand. He directly faced the magic-filled blade of the Tier 3 NPC knight.

Boom!

A loud noise echoed at the foot of the mountain.

The Tier 3 NPC knight, whose blade collided with Shi Feng's, actually took a step back, while Shi Feng didn't retreat even half a step. Even his arm didn't tremble.

Immediately after, Shi Feng heard a series of crisp system prompts.

System: Congratulations, player's Epic Magic Body has reached 5% unlock progress.

"Finally mastered a trace of the method to unlock the Magic Body." Shi Feng looked at the Holy Sword, Killing Ray, in his hand, a trace of surprise rising in his eyes.

His own Magic Body was Epic rank, and the magic structure was far more complicated than the Silver rank Magic Body, so it was impossible to use and master it all at once. So he began to try to imitate the magic guidance and application of these Tier 3 NPCs.

Of course, this kind of magic guidance and application couldn't be directly used, because these things didn't conform to his own Magic Body and needed some modifications.

That's why he only unlocked 5% with the previous blow.

"No wonder so many experts in the previous life wanted to enter the Golden Gate. Half an hour in here is better than half a month of training outside." Shi Feng glanced at the three Tier 3 NPC knights who were eyeing him covetously, and couldn't help but marvel at the training effect of the Golden Gate.

If those Silver rank Magic Body experts were here at this time, I am afraid that this trip would be enough to unlock the Magic Body. After all, such natural guidance and application of the Silver rank Magic Body was in front of them. This was absolutely impossible to find outside. It was just that the effect was minimal for his Epic Magic Body. But even so, he was satisfied, after all, the stronger the Magic Body, the harder it was to unlock. He never thought that he could unlock it all at once.

Immediately, Shi Feng continued to climb the mountain to challenge the next wave of NPC knights, wanting to quickly become familiar with and adapt to this feeling.

The second wave of NPC knights consisted of six, and the guidance and application of the Magic Body were completely different from the previous three. As for the strength, there was no improvement. They completely became Shi Feng's小白鼠 (xiǎo bái shǔ – guinea pigs) for further optimizing the application of the Magic Body.

As Shi Feng continued to pass the levels, not only was the number of NPC knights increasing, but also the level of the Magic Body was also increasing, from the initial level to the intermediate level, and then to the advanced level, which made Shi Feng's Magic Body optimization better and better.

System: Congratulations, player's Epic Magic Body has reached 10% unlock progress.

System: Congratulations, player's Epic Magic Body has reached 15% unlock progress.

System: Congratulations, player's Epic Magic Body has reached 20% unlock progress.

After spending more than seven hours and challenging six Tier 3 knights whose Magic Bodies had reached the top Silver rank, Shi Feng finally reached the first floor of the Golden Sacred Mountain.

In the central hall of the first floor of the Golden Sacred Mountain stood a woman holding a greatsword and wearing dark blue armor, quietly standing there, as sacred and majestic as a statue.

This woman was none other than Elleariati, the creator of the Inheritance Gate. The terrifying power emanating from her body was completely incomparable even to a Tier 5 class.

"Trial-taker, you have done a good job. You were able to come here in nine hours. Now I give you two choices. One is that you can withstand three moves from me. At that time, you will not only pass the test and enter the first floor, but also get a guidance for Inheritance. The other is to challenge the original guardian here. If you win, you will enter the first floor normally, without any reward." When Elleariati saw Shi Feng enter, her eyes also shifted to Shi Feng, and she asked very calmly, "You have three minutes to consider. Make a good decision!"
