Chapter 1 The Power of Blood

On the rooftop, as Shi Feng drank the power of his bloodline, the magic of the entire rooftop began to gradually converge around him.

Two triple magic arrays instantly formed beneath and above Shi Feng, like a magic barrier directly enveloping him. The surrounding magic poured into the triple magic array above Shi Feng like a tide. At the same time, golden divine紋 (wen – patterns) began to appear all over Shi Feng's body.

As the golden divine紋 (wen – patterns) on Shi Feng's body became more complete, the aura emanating from him grew stronger and stronger.

When the golden divine紋 (wen – patterns) spread across Shi Feng's entire body, a golden beam of light shot up from him, its terrifying power even surpassing that of the Temple Knight.

However, after a few seconds, the golden pillar of light dissipated, and the entire rooftop returned to its former tranquility.

After everything returned to calm, Shi Feng couldn't help but open his eyes.

His originally dark eyes now faintly held a trace of dark silver, and Shi Feng, whose aura had been completely restrained, now couldn't help but exude a palpitating power.

If ordinary players stood here, they would probably suspect that the Shi Feng before them was not a player, but an NPC. Not only was his aura aggressive, but his gaze also gave people an unspeakable sense of coldness, full of mechanical and rational feeling, as if no matter what happened, he was calmly detached.

"Is this the power of the Dark Iron Bloodline?"

Shi Feng couldn't help but feel his current body, his heart filled with unspeakable shock.

Although he was very excited now, before that excitement reached its peak, a coldness struck, causing him to calm down involuntarily.

Moreover, the way he perceived his surroundings was clearly different from before.

In the past, he had to devote most of his mental energy to accurately grasp the movements around him. Now, even if he didn't concentrate much, the movements around him were deeply imprinted in his mind...

This improvement completely exceeded Shi Feng's imagination.

One had to know that in God's Domain, the experts who could reach the Vacuum Realm were all top experts who could be counted among the super forces. And the experts who had just entered the Vacuum Realm had to go all out just to grasp the movements around them. Even experts who had been in the Vacuum Realm for a long time needed to invest a considerable amount of mental energy.

But now, he didn't need to invest even half of his mental energy to do it directly. This improvement was truly terrifying.

Whether in reality or God's Domain, a person's mental energy was always limited. Being able to do this meant being unable to do that, while experts could multitask.

Of course, this kind of multitasking could only be used for easy things. When encountering complex things, it was still difficult to multitask, let alone be able to perceive all the movements around. If only half of one's mental energy was needed, then the other half could be used for other things, thereby greatly improving the player's combat power.

In addition to the improvement in mental energy, after drinking the bloodline, his basic attributes had also been slightly improved. His Strength attribute increased by 10%, Agility by 7%, Endurance by 5%, Spirit by 5%, and Intelligence by only 5%. Although the increase was small, as his level continued to increase in the future, each level up and tier promotion would result in more and more basic attribute growth.

Immediately, Shi Feng waved his sword several times forward.

Instantly, the sword light flickered, drawing a series of gorgeous arcs, silently.

"Sure enough! The bloodline not only improves the player's basic attributes, but even the nerve reaction speed has been slightly improved. The previous processing limit was 0.1 seconds, but now it should be around 0.08 seconds. Bloodlines are truly powerful. No wonder super forces in the previous life were frantically searching for bloodlines." Shi Feng glanced at the sword shadows that had not yet dissipated in mid-air, and sighed slightly.

Don't underestimate the improvement of only 0.02 seconds, because for expert players, it was a chasm. Only those gifted experts could surpass the limit of 0.1 seconds.

It was like before, he could make a maximum of ten reactions in one second, but now he could make twelve reactions in one second. Those two extra reactions meant that even if someone saw them, their body would not be able to respond in any way and could only watch helplessly.

If he could have obtained an ordinary bloodline back then, even if the innate development was insufficient, he probably could have easily advanced to the fourth tier. Unfortunately, bloodlines in God's Domain were no more common than those legendary item fragments, or even rarer.

After Shi Feng adapted for more than ten minutes, he walked step by step towards the Temple Knight.

At this time, Shi Feng was full of interest in fighting the Temple Knight.

As soon as Shi Feng stepped into the circular ring of the rooftop, the Temple Knight suddenly became alert and charged directly towards Shi Feng with his twin swords.

"Come on, let me try how strong the Dark Iron Bloodline is!" Shi Feng looked at the charging Temple Knight and smiled, directly迎 (ying) [welcomed; met] him.

This time, facing the Temple Knight's fierce and fiery offensive of sword after sword, Shi Feng did not rush to use Sword's Orbit, but simply waved his sword to resist.

Instantly, the sword light flickered, sparks flew, and a series of metallic collision sounds rang out.

Facing the Temple Knight's fierce offensive, although Shi Feng couldn't make every sword he swung instinctual, he made up for the sword light he couldn't block with his extremely fast nerve reaction speed.

Fighting continuously for two or three minutes, Shi Feng went from being suppressed at the beginning to gradually getting used to it, and finally to being evenly matched with the Temple Knight. Shi Feng became more and more excited as he fought.

Moreover, unlike before, he still had a lot of energy to spare, and could even use Void Steps to evade the Temple Knight's attacks. This made the Temple Knight, who originally had a cold expression, show a look of surprise.

"It seems that this is my current limit. Although I still have a lot of energy to spare, I have mastered too few combat techniques and cannot unleash the full power of the bloodline. I need to find an opportunity to learn some new combat techniques in the future." While fighting the Temple Knight, Shi Feng also gained a deep understanding of his own shortcomings.

After repeated self-examination, Shi Feng saw that it was almost time. The Thunder Saint Sword in his hand suddenly turned and used Sword's Orbit.

The attack of Sword's Orbit completely followed instinct. Every sword was the peak speed that Shi Feng could display, directly overwhelming the Temple Knight's斩 (zhan - slash).

In an instant, a sword mark appeared on the Temple Knight's shoulder.

As the first sword mark appeared, the second... the third... the fourth... appeared soon after.

The number of accumulated sword marks increased, and the Temple Knight's health continued to decrease. Each sword mark could take away more than 3,000 health points from the Temple Knight, and one million health points were declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than ten minutes, the Temple Knight fell in front of Shi Feng, turning into a pile of rubble and dissipating. Only Shi Feng was left on the entire rooftop.

After dealing with the Temple Knight, Shi Feng also got a Divine Crystal as he wished.

And this Divine Crystal was different from other Divine Crystals. It wasn't until Shi Feng took it out from the crystal wall that he realized that this Divine Crystal exuded a very strong divine power.

"A High-Grade Divine Crystal?" Shi Feng clicked to check it and was immediately overjoyed. He immediately understood why his challenge was so difficult.

Compared to ordinary Divine Crystals, High-Grade Divine Crystals contained more concentrated divine power. One could be used as two, and its value was naturally no lower than that of ordinary Epic-rank equipment.

In this way, he only needed to collect one more ordinary Divine Crystal to restore the Broken Armor.

System: Congratulations, player, for completing the Temple Trial. You now have two choices. The first is to leave directly, and the second is to continue the challenge, but it will take 1,000 minutes.

Without saying a word, Shi Feng chose the second challenge, still choosing Divine Crystals.

However, the difficulty of this challenge was obviously one level lower. He only fought the Temple Knight of the Flowing Water Realm and easily won the victory.

Just after Shi Feng took the third Divine Crystal from the Epic-rank Temple, Shi Feng originally wanted to continue the challenge, but because of the system's limitations, Shi Feng was directly sent out of the Epic-rank Temple...
