Tianyun Lao Mao

Chapter 899 First in the Ranking Tournament

“No way!”

“He just passed like that?”

The watching crowd stared, dumbfounded, as the illusory assassin collapsed to the ground.

Not a single member of their training batch had ever cleared the fourth floor, Silent Hell.

Although someone would eventually pass this floor, they never imagined it would be a newcomer from another guild.

A frenzy also erupted outside the hall.

Many regretted not watching Shi Feng's battle earlier. They might have learned something to improve themselves. After all, every expert had their strengths and weaknesses. If his strengths were what they lacked, observing him firsthand would definitely be beneficial.

"Hahaha, you see! It's not that I'm weak, but that Shi Feng is too strong. Among our training group, his strength is already ranked first. How could I, with my level, possibly be a match?" Seeing Shi Feng clear the fourth floor, Violent Bear's previously dejected expression turned excited. He looked at his companions who had been mocking him and said smugly, "You thought I was useless, talking behind my back. Can you do any better? Can any of you get Shi Feng to fight you?"

Suddenly, those who had been mocking and berating Violent Bear fell silent.

They realized that although Violent Bear had lost a considerable amount of points, fighting an expert like Shi Feng was a huge gain.

Normally, it was impossible for them to spar with members who had entered the fourth floor. They simply wouldn't deign to fight them. Now, Violent Bear had accidentally gotten the chance to exchange blows with an expert like Shi Feng, which was definitely a win. As for how much he could gain, that depended on Violent Bear himself.

If possible, they would be willing to spend five or six hundred, even seven or eight hundred points to fight Shi Feng. But such an opportunity was clearly impossible.

Just the fact that Shi Feng was ranked first in the competition meant he had no shortage of points, let alone any reason to compete with them.

...

Battle Tower, fifth floor.

As soon as Shi Feng entered this floor, he felt immense mental pressure. This pressure was much stronger than the pressure of an Abyss Lord using skills. It was as if a Tier 5 monster was standing before him, making it hard to breathe, and greatly suppressing his body's reactions and mobility.

In addition to the pressure on his aura, the entire cave was not only dimly lit, but also like a steamer, filled with water vapor, which greatly hindered his perception of the surroundings.

In the cave surrounded by water vapor were five large snakes. These snakes were dark gray, each with three large heads, and their cold, amber eyes stared intently at Shi Feng.

Three-Headed Serpent, Special Elite, Level 30, HP 150,000.

Before Shi Feng could adjust to the environment, the five Three-Headed Serpents began to move.

The cave, filled with scattered rocks, greatly hindered movement. But in front of the Three-Headed Serpents, it was as if it didn't exist. They easily bypassed various obstacles like flowing water, their speed unaffected, and they instantly appeared before Shi Feng.

After the five Three-Headed Serpents surrounded Shi Feng, they spat out corrosive poison, completely blocking Shi Feng's movements. These poisons were as thin as hair, invisible to the naked eye in this steam-filled space. He could only judge the trajectory of the attack by the fluctuations in the air.

But there were simply too many of them.

Each Three-Headed Serpent could spray more than a dozen poison needles. With five Three-Headed Serpents surrounding Shi Feng and spitting poison needles, the number of poison needles exceeded seventy.

Ordinary people would be at a loss when faced with three or five attacks. Now, with more than seventy, any single attack would be enough to seriously injure Shi Feng. The difficulty was unimaginable.

Not to mention the immense mental pressure in the entire space. Even in a normal state, it would be impossible for Shi Feng to resist these attacks. He had to use rapid movement to reduce the number of attacks he received to have a chance of survival. Now, not only were his body's reactions slowed down, but the surrounding terrain was also extremely treacherous, filled with rubble and dimly lit. In such an environment, moving quickly could easily lead to a fall, leaving his whole body vulnerable.

But even so, Shi Feng had to run. He couldn't withstand so many attacks while standing still.

"As expected of the fifth floor of the Battle Tower. It's truly not a place for people to stay." Shi Feng ran while using his dual swords to block the poison needles shot at him.

Although these poison needles didn't have much impact, there were too many of them. Even if Shi Feng ran, he still had to face thirty or forty attacks. With his blurred perception, he would be hit by a poison needle that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

The damage wasn't high, only five or six hundred, but Shi Feng's few thousand HP couldn't withstand many hits.

As Shi Feng ran and dodged, his HP plummeted.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Feng's HP dropped to zero. He fell to the ground and didn't move, eventually being teleported out.

After Shi Feng was teleported out, everyone hadn't yet reacted.

Because the fifth floor's battle was too difficult. Seeing the sky filled with poison needles made their scalps tingle, not to mention the immense mental pressure. If they were to fight in such an environment, they wouldn't last even two seconds, let alone five. They would instantly turn into hedgehogs. But Shi Feng was able to persist for more than ten seconds before being defeated by those invisible poison needles. Otherwise, Shi Feng could have fought for longer.

"Is this his current strength?" After Leng Qiu came back to his senses from Shi Feng's battle, he looked at the surrounding environment and felt a chill in his heart.

Fortunately, he was only watching from the perspective of an observer. If he were fighting in person, facing this sense of oppression, he probably wouldn't even be able to run, and could only stand there and wait to die.

However, after Wen Hua saw this gap, she was not afraid. On the contrary, her fighting spirit was even higher, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Although she clearly understood how big the gap between her and Shi Feng was, she had gained a lot today.

She had been thinking about a problem: Why was Shi Feng's sword speed so fast?

But after such a long time of careful observation, she had gained some understanding.

Before each sword strike, Shi Feng's body was already in action, transferring and moving the power of his body to his arm. This actually went through a short period of acceleration. So, when Shi Feng swung his sword, it created an instantaneous transition from extreme stillness to extreme speed.

The theory was simple, but to achieve this, the control of the body completely exceeded the scope of ordinary people.

Of course, Wen Hua was also very confident in herself. She believed that if Shi Feng could do it, there was no reason why she couldn't.
