Chapter 1 The City Lord's Mansion of Zero Wing City

In the City Lord's Mansion of Zero Wing City, on the second underground level, Banxia Qingcheng, Jian Ying, Ban Jiu, Kele, Youlan, Heizi, Feiying, Silent Blade, Mang Gu Yijiu, Ye Wumian, Yidao Chengfeng, Su Qianliu, Diao Bei Feng, Yue Wange and others had gathered.

Kele couldn't help but curiously asked Huowu, who was leading the way, "Guild Leader, is there something important that the president wants us here for?"

As Kele spoke, the others present also looked at Huowu with curiosity.

They were all wholeheartedly competing in the arena to frantically improve their control over magic, hoping to increase their chances of advancing to Tier 4.

In the magic environment of Zero Wing City, they could clearly feel themselves constantly improving. Even Banxia Qingcheng had become a magic array master, possessing her own magic domain, which made everyone envious.

"It's a secret." Huowu said with a smile as she led the way, "And this trip will be a good thing for you. It might even increase your chances of advancing to Tier 4."

She understood the others' desire to improve. After all, the environment of Zero Wing City was helping even her, a Tier 4 class, quite a bit, let alone Tier 3s.

In the current situation of God's Domain, Tier 3 classes were simply not up to the task. Only those who advanced to Tier 4 could play a major role. So, she understood their eagerness to advance to Tier 4.

"Guild Leader, you're not lying to us, are you? In an environment like Zero Wing City, is there still a way to increase the chances of advancing to Tier 4?" Jian Ying's eyes lit up.

Although he had the advantage of Zero Wing City's environment, he knew that with his skill level, it would still be extremely difficult to advance to Tier 4. Without multiple attempts, it would probably be impossible.

And if a Tier 4 class failed to advance, they would have to wait a long time before they could try again. Even if they found a Tier 4 inheritance site quickly, they would still have to wait at least a month. If they failed several times in a row, four or five months would pass, or even more than half a year.

He couldn't imagine how much he would lag behind the Tier 4 experts if he had to remain at Tier 3 for more than half a year...

There were too many places in the God's Domain Continent that Tier 3 classes simply couldn't enter. Tier 4 was the entry threshold, and there were more opportunities there. Whether it was inheritance or equipment, it was incomparable to other maps.

"The president said so." Huowu nodded. "Otherwise, we wouldn't have made you stop your crazy training to come here."

As she spoke, Huowu arrived at a huge stone door completely sealed by magic arrays. In front of the stone door, there were four Mithril-ranked Tier 3 guards above level 140. Even Tier 4 players wouldn't be able to break through easily.

When the four Mithril-ranked Tier 3 NPCs saw Huowu, they slowly opened the sealed stone door.

As the stone door slowly opened, a secret room the size of a basketball court was revealed. It was sealed on all sides by various magic arrays. Once inside, even if a Tier 4 class made a lot of noise, the outside would probably not notice anything.

In the secret room, Shifeng, wearing a black cloak, had been waiting for a long time.

Shifeng glanced at the others and casually said, "Come in, all of you."

As Shifeng spoke, Huowu was the first to enter the secret room with curiosity, and the others followed suit.

After everyone entered the secret room, the huge stone door began to slowly close. The four Tier 3 Mithril-ranked guards continued to guard the entrance quietly, not daring to relax in the slightest.

After Huowu and the others entered the secret room, they all looked at Shifeng strangely.

They didn't sense anything special in the entire secret room. Even the magic density in the secret room seemed to be lower than the outside, or perhaps it was just an illusion.

Shifeng looked at the confused crowd and asked with a smile, "Are you wondering why I called you to a place like this?"

"President, Guild Leader Huowu said that you have a way to increase our chances of advancing to Tier 4," Kele couldn't help but ask first. "Is that true?"

To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in advancing to Tier 4. His combat skills were only at the Flowing Water Realm, and his control over magic was only at the level of an advanced magician. It was impossible to learn a Tier 4 inheritance skill in a short period of time.

"It's true, but how much it increases depends on yourselves." Shifeng nodded and pointed to the strange beast stone sculpture placed in the center of the secret room behind him. "And this thing is the key to your advancement to Tier 4!"

"A stone sculpture?"

Everyone present, even Huowu, was puzzled.

The stone sculpture in front of them was indeed very exquisite, but no matter how they looked at it, it didn't seem like it could be the key to their advancement to Tier 4.

"Go closer and take a look." Shifeng reminded with a smile, "Don't use your eyes to look, use your whole body to feel."

Strange beast stone sculptures were incredibly magical. It was extremely difficult to discover their special properties because they only showed some special features in places with extremely dense magic, and even then, the range was very small.

Generally speaking, it only covered a radius of about 10 yards. Beyond that distance, you couldn't feel anything or discover anything special. In fact, placing a strange beast stone sculpture would even lower the magic density around it.

In his previous life, some players even sold strange beast stone sculptures for cheap, treating them as junk, completely unaware of their value to players.

After Shifeng's reminder, Kele and the others approached.

As they got closer and closer, until Kele and the others stepped into the 10-yard range of the strange beast stone sculpture, the expressions on their faces suddenly changed.

"The operating rules of magic elements are so clear!"

"How is this possible! This clarity is at least 50% higher than the outside!"

Huowu, as a Tier 4 class, felt it most clearly and looked at the strange beast stone sculpture with disbelief.

In a normal state, her clarity of the operating rules of magic elements was 10%. In Zero Wing City, it could reach 20%. But now, near the strange beast stone sculpture, the clarity was about 30%.

Such clarity would be unthinkable in the outside world.

Her perception of the operating rules of magic elements was already very high, and that was only because she had advanced to Tier 4. Ordinary Tier 3 classes were already very powerful if they could reach 5%.

But now, for Kele and the others, the clarity of the operating rules of magic elements was at least 20%, which was much stronger than even the perception of magic elements of Tier 4 classes in the outside world. This was equivalent to standing at a higher level than Tier 4 classes and examining everything around them. The help it could provide to Tier 3 players regarding various magic skills was unimaginable.

If this were to spread, it would probably drive the major forces in the entire God's Domain crazy.

Huowu suddenly understood why Shifeng was being so careful and why only the absolute core members of the guild were allowed to enter.

For a moment, the entire secret room was silent.

Kele, Banxia Qingcheng, and the others were all immersed in this feeling, unable to extricate themselves. Shifeng wasn't surprised by this.

After obtaining the World Authority, his clarity of the operating rules of magic was extremely high. Near the strange beast stone sculpture, it could reach about 40%.

When he controlled the Half-step Demon King, Florobero, his clarity of the operating rules of magic was only about 50%, and at that time, he felt invincible.

Of course, that was an illusion caused by suddenly gaining power, but the sense of cognition of everything around him was real and greatly helped him break through the Mana Body and improve his control over mana.

Although he couldn't get the same feeling as back then near the strange beast stone sculpture, it was still relatively close.

In this state, he couldn't help but want to immerse himself in studying the operating rules of magic elements, let alone Kele and the others.

Before Huowu could immerse herself in this unimaginable sense of control for long, the mana on her body began to surge wildly. It was obvious that she was trying to break through the Mana Body and overcome the 100% limit.

Shifeng was surprised, then took out a colorful crystal from his backpack and handed it directly to Huowu. "Don't rush to break through the Mana Body. Learn the inheritance inside first, and then try to break through."

Huowu took the inheritance crystal and was stunned when she looked at it. She didn't expect Shifeng to have such a precious inheritance, and it even contained records of the composition of the Mana Body, which was a treasure for Tier 4 classes.

"President, this is a Sword Saint inheritance. It would be a waste to use it on me..." Huowu couldn't help but want to refuse.

She wasn't stupid. Anyone who advanced to Tier 4 knew what was most important for a Tier 4 class: breaking through the Mana Body, which was the foundation for advancing to Tier 5.

Shifeng chuckled. "Don't worry, this is a complete inheritance crystal that can be used nine times. The first use has the greatest effect, and it's a waste to use it later. You're an important combat force for Zero Wing. If you can improve further, it will be a great help to the guild."

Teresa's inheritance crystal was a complete Tier 5 inheritance crystal that could be used a total of nine times.

Although it was the inheritance experience of a Sword Saint, it wasn't very suitable for Huowu, who was an assassin, but it was still helpful as a physical damage class.

If Huowu's Mana Body could be improved to 105% with this, it would be a great help to Zero Wing.

Huowu looked at Shifeng's unquestionable tone and gritted her teeth and chose to use it.

Everything was indeed as Shifeng said. There was a big difference between Tier 4 classes. Like Ziyan Liuyun, because her Mana Body had already broken through 100%, her combat power was much stronger than hers after entering Tier 4, while she was still stuck at 100%.

If she could break through, she could completely fight against those monster-level Tier 4 experts in the future.

Suddenly, streams of light emerged from the colorful crystal and directly entered Huowu's eyes. Countless pieces of information entered Huowu's brain in one breath.
