Chapter 1 The Silent Purple Night Plaza

Dark Night City, Purple Night Plaza.

As the magic barrier covering half the plaza shattered and dissipated, the entire Purple Night Plaza abruptly fell silent. Everyone stared at Shi Feng, who had broken the magic barrier.

"So strong!"

"Didn't he only make the magic barrier shake a little before? How did he destroy it?"

Not only the players watching the show outside, but also the members of the two major guilds within the magic barrier looked at Shi Feng in disbelief. Especially the Star Ring Guild's expert players stationed outside, whose eyes almost popped out.

They completely didn't understand what had happened.

The spatial illusion world, created by sacrificing two hundred and eighty-eight people, was just shattered.

The spatial illusion world was a special magic item their Star Ring had discovered while exploring ancient ruins. To gather enough items to form the magic array, they had frantically explored various ancient ruins. Over five thousand elite and expert guild members had died just to collect the necessary items.

Normally, even Tier 4 legendary monsters couldn't escape this magic array. They would have to stay inside for eight hours, and even if players died inside, they would only revive inside, not outside.

But now, it was shattered by Shi Feng with a single sword strike...

While everyone was shocked, Shi Feng sheathed the Holy Sword Thunder Slay and turned to look at Undying Battle Heart and the others.

"The magic array is gone, let's hurry and enter the Sea of Trees," Shi Feng said calmly, pointing to the magic array in the center of Purple Night Plaza. "Not much time has passed, we should be able to catch up with Star Ring."

Undying Battle Heart and Mu Lingsha and the others snapped out of their shock upon hearing Shi Feng's words. They gave Shi Feng grateful looks. If Shi Feng hadn't broken the magic array, they wouldn't even be able to compete with the Star Ring Guild. Undying Battle Heart quickly took out the key to the Sea of Trees and prepared to open the teleportation portal. Mu Lingsha arranged for the selected experts to enter the portal.

Not far away, Red Emperor Guild's Illusion Utterance stared intently at Shi Feng, her eyes filled with unspeakable surprise.

"Power fusion?" Illusion Utterance recalled Shi Feng's previous sword strike, and a playful smile appeared on her lips. "It seems this Black Flame is hiding even more than I thought. No wonder even Tianji Pavilion gave him such a high evaluation, even bestowing the title of Sword King."

Simply relying on the power of a Tier 4 battle angel was not quite enough to shatter the magic array, but Shi Feng fused the power he unleashed with the battle angel's power. This wasn't as easy as controlling a weapon yourself. The timing and positioning had to be extremely precise, something that couldn't be done just by wanting to.

It could be said that even monsters who had mastered the Domain might not be able to do it, but Shi Feng did it with ease...

Shi Feng's wild and unparalleled power, combined with the battle angel's power, fused into one. Although it couldn't achieve a 100% stacking effect, it greatly increased the battle angel's power, breaking through the magic barrier's tolerance limit.

Because of this, the magic barrier couldn't withstand it and shattered instantly.

"Vice Guild Leader, the magic array is gone, let's hurry in," said a tall berserker beside her.

"Alright! Activate the teleportation portal, let's go in too." Illusion Utterance nodded and arranged for everyone to quickly enter the Sea of Trees.

With flashes of white light, the members of the War Soul Undefeated and Red Emperor guilds entered the teleportation portal to the Sea of Trees, disappearing from the beautiful and wide Purple Night Plaza.

As the members of the War Soul Undefeated and Red Emperor guilds entered the Sea of Trees, the Star Ring members stationed in Purple Night Plaza quickly reported the news to Lu Xingluo and Morning Radiance, who were far away in the Sea of Trees.

"What did you say? War Soul Undefeated broke the spatial illusion world's seal?" Morning Radiance directly denied it upon hearing his subordinate's sudden report. "That's impossible! That's a barrier that even Tier 4 legendary monsters can't destroy! I know War Soul Undefeated's capabilities very well. There's no way they could destroy the spatial illusion world."

As the former vice guild leader of War Soul Undefeated, he knew the current state of War Soul Undefeated very well, and he was also very clear about their trump cards. It would already be amazing if they could produce three to five Tier 4 attack-type magic scrolls. How could three to five Tier 4 scrolls destroy the spatial illusion world?

"The spatial illusion world really shattered, but the person who destroyed the barrier wasn't from War Soul Undefeated," the reporting assassin quickly explained.

"Not from War Soul Undefeated? Could it be Red Emperor?" Morning Radiance's face darkened slightly. "It seems I underestimated Illusion Utterance. She was hiding such a trump card?"

The spatial illusion world wasn't unbreakable, but it required a powerful force.

In other words, it required a force capable of destroying a town's defensive magic array with one blow, but this level of power was simply unattainable with the levels players could currently reach.

However, there were countless opportunities in God's Domain, super forces were widely dispersed, and there were many experts, so he couldn't completely rule out the possibility of obtaining such an extremely destructive item.

"No...it's not someone from the Red Emperor Guild. According to the information we have, the person who broke the magic barrier seems to be a Zero Wing member invited by War Soul Undefeated." The assassin directly sent Morning Radiance an image of Shi Feng.

"Zero Wing Guild?" Morning Radiance stared at Shi Feng, who was wearing a black cloak and holding the Holy Sword Thunder Slay, blinking his eyes for a long time without recovering.

However, Lu Xingluo and the others on the side were also surprised by the assassin's report. They didn't expect the Zero Wing Guild to have the means to destroy the magic barrier.

"It seems this Zero Wing Guild really has some tricks up their sleeves. No wonder they're cooperating with War Soul Undefeated to get a share of the pie," Lu Xingluo said with a faint smile. "It's a pity! Even if they come to the Sea of Trees now, it's too late. A step behind is a step behind. We, Star Ring, will take all twenty job change slots."

Just now, they had learned that the job change slots were not only limited in number, but also in the number of registrations. There were only three hundred slots every two hours, and the registration fee for the job change was sixty gold per person. Although expensive, it was nothing to Star Ring.

In one go, eighteen thousand gold was spent, including over fifty expert players who had mastered intermediate magic arrays and over two hundred Tier 1 experts with extremely high skill and equipment levels, to accept the job change quest.

While Lu Xingluo and the others were preparing to further explore the city completely surrounded by the sea of trees, the War Soul Undefeated and Red Emperor groups finally arrived at the Shrine of the Transfer Bard.

"Damn it! Why are there such restrictions?" Undying Battle Heart's face was extremely gloomy after hearing the reply from the front desk's elf beauty.

They had finally broken through the magic array's blockade, but now they were being told that the registration slots for the job change were full and they had to wait two hours. It was as if the system was joking with them.

Not only was Undying Battle Heart disheartened, but the faces of Illusion Utterance and the others from the Red Emperor Guild were also unsightly. They hadn't expected such restrictions.

"So, there really aren't any slots left?" Shi Feng sighed as he looked at Lu Xingluo and the others smirking not far away. "But oh well, I never intended to do a normal job change in the first place."

Shi Feng then switched his title to Demon Hunter and slowly walked to the counter next to the registration desk.

There were two ways to become a bard in the Sea of Trees, not just one. The most common way was to become a bard through a normal trial, and the other was to purchase a trial badge and participate in the most primitive job change trial passed down from the Elf King of the Sea of Trees.

However, this trial badge couldn't be bought casually. You had to become a noble in the Sea of Trees.

For other players, becoming a noble in the Sea of Trees required a lot of time, but for Shi Feng, who possessed the Demon Hunter title, it wasn't a big deal, because Demon Hunters were world nobles and enjoyed the same noble treatment in NPC cities like the Sea of Trees.

"Honorable Demon Hunter, how may I help you?" the NPC elf beauty asked with a smile. "We can provide trial badges here to change into a Tier 2 Bard, allowing you to participate in the trial left behind by the Elf King from ancient times. Passing the trial will allow you to become a brave bard!"

"Yes, I want to purchase nine trial badges," Shi Feng said calmly.
