Players in the main hall of Stone Forest Town's Battle Arena voiced their dissent . Many complained about the advanced combat room's price . They all felt that Zero Wing was asking for too much, and only a fool would willingly rent these rooms .
Independent players weren't the only ones upset . Even Zero Wing's members gasped when they saw the price .
Two Magic Crystals could only get them 30 minutes inside the advanced combat room!
Even Zero Wing's core members were reluctant to pay such a price, much less the elite and normal members .
Everyone thought that this price was simply outrageous and no one wanted to rent the rooms .
While PvP and training combat techniques in a high Mana density environment was beneficial, there was a limit to how much one could actually gain .
When Shi Feng heard the conversations in the Guild chat, he simply chuckled . He then took a Return Scroll from his bag and activated it, intending to return to White River City for now .
While his asking price of two Magic Crystals was astonishingly high, and even he thought it was expensive, the Divine Colosseum's Trial Tower only charged one Magic Crystal . However, his illusory space offered a stronger training ground than the Trial Tower . Not only was the Mana density much higher, but players could also spar with an illusory creature that possessed the same Skill set . The illusory creature could also execute said Skills with a 100% Completion Rate . No matter how he looked at it, the illusory space was far better than the Trial Tower .
He planned to take the gamble . If no one wanted to rent the advanced combat rooms after realizing the benefits, he could lower the price to one Magic Crystal .
He had left the Evil God's Tablet and advanced combat rooms' management to Judy . She would automatically activate the Illusory space when players entered the combat rooms .
Thirty seconds later, Shi Feng transformed into a streak of white light and left the Battle Arena .
…
A man and woman entered the Battle Arena's lively first-floor hall . Both were exquisitely dressed, Level 43 players . As they entered the hall, they immediately attracted a lot of attention .
"Hm? Aren't they Remnant Cloud and Graceful Moon, the commander and vice commander of Firecloud Fox?" A Level 41 Shield Warrior in silver armor immediately recognized the two people that just entered the building . "What's an adventurer team from the Black Dragon Empire doing here?"
"It shouldn't be so surprising . After all, several experts from the Black Dragon Empire have trained in the Battle Arena before . Those experts are pretty high ranked in the empire, some even ranking among the top 100 . Those two are probably here to prepare for the empire's ranking battle tomorrow," a Level 42 Elementalist wearing purple robes said .
"I see!" Realization dawned on the Shield Warrior . "If I remember correctly, Firecloud Fox barely got into the top 50 adventurer teams in the Black Dragon Empire's last ranking battle . It's a pity that the team wasn't quite strong enough . If Remnant Cloud could rank among the top 50 of his own class, he might be able to push Firecloud Fox into the top 50 this time . "
"That's highly unlikely . Various superpowers recently debuted newcomers that they've been nurturing internally to contest for the top ten newcomers in God's Domain . First-rate Guilds will also dispatch some of their geniuses for the competition . Since the ranking battles are such a good opportunity to gain combat experience, why would these new talents pass it by?" the purple-robed Elementalist said, shaking his head . "Just keeping their spot among the top 100 will already be impressive, let alone the top 50 . "
"Developing in an empire is awesome . The Secret Pavilion only holds these battles from time to time in the empires . Players residing in these empires get to watch the battles, too . On the other hand, the Secret Pavilion hasn't once hosted such a competition in Star-Moon Kingdom," the silver-armored Shield Warrior said, sighing .
"It can't be helped . God's Domain is just too big . Keeping up with the various empire's statistics is already challenging . Moreover, hosting such competitions costs a lot of resources . Even the Secret Pavilion can't afford to keep track of experts in the various kingdoms . Though, that might not be the case in the future . " While the purple-robed Elementalist sighed in dejection as well, he also held a hint of hope .
Generally, only local players got to watch the Secret Pavilion's ranking competitions . After all, the competition venue could only hold a limited number of people . The Secret Pavilion usually only invite active, well-known players, adventurer teams, and large Guilds within the hosting empire . Adventurer teams and players from other countries weren't invited .
…
"The advanced combat room's rent is so expensive! And only one person can use it at a time! Commander, let's just settle for the ordinary combat rooms," Graceful Moon exclaimed when she saw the prices .
Although she could afford the room, two Magic Crystals for 30 minutes of training was ridiculous no matter how she looked at it .
"Let's give the advanced combat rooms a try . In any case, we're just here to test out the effects of the town's Mana density . If we go for the ordinary combat rooms, I'm afraid we'll have to wait a long time before our turn . We don't have that much time to waste right now," Remnant Cloud said, shaking his head . He turned to the NPC behind the counter and said, "I'll rent two advanced combat rooms . "
"Alright . The total cost is 4 Magic Crystals," the NPC beauty responded with a smile .
Following which, Remnant Cloud paid four Magic Crystals and received two purple crystals in return . The purple crystals were keys to the corresponding combat rooms .
After receiving the keys, Remnant Cloud and Graceful Moon approached the staircase . Unlike other players, they didn't need to wait in the rest area for their turn, and many players looked on with envy .
Only, when these players remembered the 2-Magic-Crystal cost, they shook their heads and gave up on the notion of renting an advanced combat room .
…
Meanwhile, Shi Feng had arrived in White River City . After leaving the Teleportation Hall, he made his way to the library .
Due to an unexpected situation, he had been forced to delay his plan of asking Sharlyn about the pitch-black ring . Now that the Evil Demon problem plaguing Stone Forest Town had been dealt with, he had to visit the woman . After all, if not even Omniscient Eyes could appraise the pitch-black ring, the ring's origin must be extraordinary .
After riding an advanced horse carriage for ten minutes or so, Shi Feng reached White River City's library .
However, the scene before the library had changed drastically .
Due to White River City's promotion, the library's appearance had become far more majestic . The guards standing by the main entrance had also been upgraded, now Level 180, Tier 2 Knights .
Upon entering the library, Shi Feng felt a distinct change to the building's Mana density . It would now be far easier to learn and train Spells here than outside . Hence, far more magical-class players occupied the building .
Shi Feng did not waste too much time in the first-floor hall, quickly making his way to the library's top floor .
Upon reaching the top floor, like his previous visit, Shi Feng felt as if he had just sunk into a muddy swamp . He wasn't comfortable . When he entered the Star-Moon Hall, Sharlyn sat at a table, quietly reading an ancient book as she usually did . She gave off an indescribable sense of intimacy and tranquility .
"It seems your promotion has gone smoothly . You've made it back so quickly . " When Sharlyn saw Shi Feng enter the hall, she scrutinized him . A moment later, she smiled and said, "Well? Out with it . Why have you come this time?"
"Lady Sharlyn, I'd like your help in appraising an item," Shi Feng answered straightforwardly . "This item is very special, and I cannot even inspect it with my Omniscient Eyes . "
"Even your Omniscient Eyes appraise it?" Sharlyn was slightly astonished . Setting her book on the table, she continued, "That is interesting . Let me have a look . "
Following which, Shi Feng revealed the pitch-black ring he had obtained from the Ancient Treasure Chest .
