The sudden display of lightning and thunder across the Thunder Plains immediately drew the attention of every player within the Ancient Divine Ruins.
Compared to ordinary lightning strikes, the thunder that had just struck was not only far more imposing in scale, but also far greater in both quantity and frequency. The booming echoes reverberated across the entire Thunder Plains, making eardrums ache — it was impossible not to notice.
"What's happening over there?"
"Why is there suddenly so much lightning attacking Zero Wing?"
Almost everyone turned simultaneously toward Zero Wing's position, curiosity filling each of their hearts.
Before, the lightning hadn't attacked Zero Wing's members at all. Now it was bombarding them with relentless fury — a display of power that could reduce even a Great Lord of the same rank to ash.
"What is that? A book?"
"Could it be some kind of dropped treasure?"
Players who were closer quickly spotted a thick, ancient tome hovering in front of Shi Feng. Though none of them could make out exactly what it was, anything capable of causing such a tremendous commotion could only be something extraordinary.
In that moment, every major guild and adventurer team stationed on the third layer wore expressions tinged with greed and envy.
The powers present here were all formidable forces even within the Kingdom — whether in strength or in breadth of experience, they were far beyond ordinary expert players.
As far as they knew, across the entirety of the Divine Realm, no Gold-grade or Dark Gold-rank item had ever triggered such an enormous commotion. At the very least, it would have to be an Epic-rank item.
An Epic-rank item!
While the more powerful large guilds might possess two or three such items, and top-tier guilds might have more than ten, relative to the massive player population they were still exceedingly rare — let alone special items.
However, everyone also understood one thing: attempting to seize it was simply impossible.
Setting aside Zero Wing's combat strength, the Thunder Plains itself was an insurmountable zone of lightning.
"Quite the impressive display." Shi Feng gazed at the thick ancient tome hovering before him, indescribable astonishment stirring in his heart.
He had seen plenty of high-level Combat Techniques assembled into their complete forms, but not a single one had ever triggered such a massive commotion. And now that this one had been assembled into a complete version, it could even emanate a faint pressure while drawing the surrounding elements toward itself. It was hard to imagine this was merely a Combat Technique — even for him, this was a first.
"Guild Leader, what exactly is this? An Epic-rank item?" Shui Se Qiangwei asked curiously.
The other guild members were equally intrigued by the Combat Technique's display of lightning, each one straining their ears to listen — though they held no expectations of learning its specific attributes.
In this day and age, every major guild had at least some operatives infiltrating rival guilds. Secrets like Epic-rank weapons, equipment, or items were kept strictly under wraps unless a guild chose to announce them publicly. After all, every Epic-rank item represented a guild's hidden assets — potentially even trump cards to be played at critical moments. Naturally, such top-secret information would never be shared with outsiders.
So they didn't expect to learn the specifics. They just wanted to know what kind of item that ancient tome in Shi Feng's hands actually was.
"No." Shi Feng shook his head with a smile. "It's a Combat Technique."
"A Combat Technique?" Shui Se Qiangwei's lips parted in surprise, her pupils narrowing, as though Shi Feng were teasing her.
Since when could a Combat Technique cause such a spectacle?
Even Secret Stone Tablets didn't produce commotions of this magnitude — how could a mere Combat Technique?
The crowd was equally stunned.
