Chapter 1238 Skill Sublimation

Chapter 1 A Precise Attack

"What precise attacks."

While deflecting the wind blades, Shi Feng observed their trajectories, increasingly realizing the prowess of Rheinbeck.

He had finally managed to use Sword's Orbit to defend against attacks that exceeded his own strength and number, but Rheinbeck's adjustments ensured that the power and quantity of the wind blades just barely surpassed his limit, forcing him to retreat continuously.

"So this is the test of the third floor. I really don't know how Shang Buyan obtained the inheritance in his previous life."

Shi Feng glanced outside the magic array. He only needed to retreat a dozen more steps to exit, but the wind blades did not weaken in the slightest due to his retreat...

In his previous life, Shang Buyan had only reached the Flowing Water Realm when he obtained the Sea God's Inheritance. In terms of pure combat skills, he was far inferior to Shi Feng now. Yet, Shang Buyan had succeeded, while he was about to be blasted out of the magic array. He couldn't understand it.

"Could it be that the so-called 'reason' has nothing to do with one's own combat level?" Shi Feng wondered to himself.

Seeing that he was about to be blasted out of the magic array, Shi Feng had no choice but to use Void Steps, instantly disappearing before Rheinbeck's eyes.

"An interesting footwork." The corners of Rheinbeck's mouth slightly turned up. He turned his gaze to Shi Feng, who had reappeared out of thin air on the other side, and chuckled, "But how long can you last?"

Saying so, he sent another fifteen wind blades sweeping over, and Shi Feng once again used Void Steps to dodge.

"Mastering a Domain is truly powerful. The effect of Void Steps is too limited." Shi Feng constantly dodged the incoming wind blades, unable to rush towards Rheinbeck from the edge of the magic array, and could only move around the periphery.

Void Steps could make people ignore one's presence through special footwork, making it seem as if they had disappeared. This footwork had some effect on Rheinbeck, but it only caused him to have some brief misjudgments when using wind blade attacks, preventing him from effectively sealing off Shi Feng's movements.

At this time, Shang Buyan and Bai Ye also arrived on the third floor.

"This..."

As soon as they entered the third floor, the two were stunned by the sight before them.

Unlike the first and second floors of the Starfall Tower, the third floor was a common area.

They saw Shi Feng flickering in and out of existence within the magic array, in a precarious situation amidst countless wind blade attacks. Looking at his opponent, a Tier 4 NPC, their expressions became extremely solemn.

"Is the test of the third floor to deal with the Tier 4 NPC in front of us?" Bai Ye stared intently at Rheinbeck, who stood proudly, feeling a surge of anger in her heart. "How is it possible to pass this?"

"No, I don't think it's about defeating that Tier 4 NPC, otherwise that kid would have died long ago." Shang Buyan shook his head, also filled with apprehension as he looked at Rheinbeck.

A Tier 4 NPC was a top-tier existence even in the twelve major cities of the Abyssal Sea Domain, not to mention that Rheinbeck was also the Vice-Captain of the Sea God Temple's Knights.

"It seems we won't be able to pass this time. Such fast and dense wind blades are impossible for us magic-type players to dodge, and after arriving here, we can't even cast spells or use items, making it even more impossible to pass." Bai Ye glanced at Shi Feng, who was fighting bitterly, and felt a slight sense of relief in her heart. "But it's good that even though we can't get it, he can't get it either."

Bai Ye said this, but Shang Buyan walked directly towards the magic array.

The moment Shang Buyan stepped into the magic array, Rheinbeck turned to look at him.

"Another one who's not afraid of death?" Rheinbeck smiled as he looked at Shang Buyan. "Are you sure you want to accept the challenge?"

Shang Buyan glanced at Shi Feng and nodded very seriously.

"Very good. You are still very weak. I will not use my full strength against you. As long as you can walk in front of me, you will pass," Rheinbeck explained.

Before the explanation was finished, two wind blades directly blasted towards Shang Buyan, not giving him any time to prepare. These two wind blades were different from the ones attacking Shi Feng. They were much slower in speed. The white-robed Shang Buyan actually used dual-casting, releasing two Ice Arrows to block the wind blades.

Boom!

After two collisions, the wind blades shattered the Ice Arrows and flew directly towards Shang Buyan, but Shang Buyan had already dodged the trajectory of the wind blades and advanced two steps towards Rheinbeck.

"That old fox!" Bai Ye immediately understood upon seeing this.

As the first person to obtain an Inheritance in the Sea Dragon Secret Realm, Shang Buyan definitely knew more secrets than her.

And the test in front of them was obviously not the same for everyone, but treated them differently.

This test gave a considerable advantage to magic-type players like them.

Shi Feng had to face fifteen wind blades, while they, as magic-type players, only needed to face two, and Shang Buyan could still use magic after entering the magic array, making it extremely easy to resist two wind blades.

Seeing Shang Buyan resist the wind blades and approach Rheinbeck step by step, Bai Ye also rushed into the magic array and began to accept the test, but Bai Ye was different from Shang Buyan.

Although she also faced two wind blades and blocked them with magic, she couldn't move forward and could only dodge the aftereffects of the wind blades by moving left and right.

"What's going on?" Bai Ye looked at Shang Buyan, who was already more than ten steps away, with a face full of questions. "Could it be that the wind blades I'm facing are stronger?"

She also mastered dual-casting and hit the incoming wind blades, but the weakened wind blades still prevented her from moving forward and could only dodge left and right. If she rashly advanced, she would definitely be hit by two wind blades at the same time, but Shang Buyan was fine.

Shang Buyan glanced at Shi Feng and Bai Ye, and smiled slightly, "You young people are indeed powerful, but it's a pity you haven't experienced enough hardships. I will accept this Inheritance."

Saying so, Shang Buyan was only half the distance away from Rheinbeck.

"Not bad, it seems you have gotten the hang of it. But what if it’s like this?"

Rheinbeck smiled and waved his hand again, and the two wind blades that were originally attacking Shang Buyan directly turned into three, and their speed was also a little faster than before.

"Damn it! It's getting stronger again!"

Shang Buyan's face suddenly sank, and he quickly used two Ice Arrows to resist two wind blades, but facing the third wind blade, he could only dodge left and right, unable to move forward.

This scene made Bai Ye laugh. She was really worried that the Inheritance would be taken away by Shang Buyan.

"It seems that none of us will be able to get this Inheritance. In that case, I won't waste time here." Seeing this result, Bai Ye lost interest and did not intend to waste any more time.

But just as Bai Ye was about to give up, Shi Feng, who had been observing everything, suddenly took action.

"So that's it. No wonder I couldn't pass." Shi Feng mocked himself.

"Did you understand something?" Bai Ye asked, looking at Shi Feng, who suddenly laughed.

However, Shi Feng did not answer. Instead, he took the initiative to meet the flying wind blades and used Sword's Orbit.

Clang clang clang...

A series of collisions sounded, and this time Shi Feng did not retreat half a step. Instead, he suddenly took a big step forward.

"How is this possible!" Bai Ye watched in astonishment, completely not understanding what was happening.

"This is impossible!" Shang Buyan was also taken aback. "How could you master it so quickly!"

"I really have to thank you for this, otherwise I really wouldn't understand what was going on." Shi Feng was in a great mood at this time, and finally understood why Rheinbeck said that he was mechanically imitating. It was all because his thinking was limited. Whether it was combat or the use of skills, he was too rigid and clumsy. He had only learned them, but he had not turned these skills into his own.

The reason why Shang Buyan could resist the wind blades while moving forward was entirely because Shang Buyan was acting with his body while using Ice Arrows to resist. Unlike Bai Ye, who only acted after using Ice Arrows to resist, she was naturally slower and could not move forward.

Now that he understood everything, resisting the wind blades was naturally easy.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Feng had passed half the distance, and Rheinbeck once again increased the number of wind blades, but this time the increase was not much, only one more wind blade.

But this was no longer a problem for Shi Feng, who had reached the Vacuum Realm. Using the deflection of attacks and the subtle movement of his body, he directly passed through the obstruction of the wind blades.

Looking at Shi Feng, who had passed half the distance, Shang Buyan said in disbelief, "Is he a monster?"

In a short time, Shi Feng stood in front of Rheinbeck.
