As Shi Feng's Holy Sword Shilei landed on Shi Xue Zhanhun's neck, the entire conference hall erupted into chaos. Everyone stared at the restrained Shi Xue Zhanhun, unable to believe what they were seeing.
No one had expected such a scene.
The illustrious leader of the Blood War Adventurer Corps, Shi Xue Zhanhun, had been subdued right in front of his own vice-leader and three personal guards. If word of this spread, nobody would believe it.
"No way! Even Shi Xue Zhanhun couldn't block him?"
"Incredible! How high are his base stats? Under the suppression of a magic domain, he deflected both of Shi Xue Zhanhun's hands with just one arm!"
"No! Compared to his base stats, his reaction speed is far more terrifying. Otherwise, Shi Xue Zhanhun wouldn't have been unable to even activate a defensive skill—he could only rely on his weapon to block."
...
Everyone present was no ordinary expert. The weakest among them had reached the Entry-level, and quite a few had even achieved the Void Realm. Although Shi Feng's speed was so fast that the naked eye could no longer track it, it could not escape the perception of Void Realm experts. As a result, many of them had seen every detail with perfect clarity.
But precisely because they had seen it so clearly, the shock hit them even harder.
In particular, the domain-wielding monsters in the hall now wore far more somber expressions as they looked at Shi Feng. When Shi Feng had killed Caomu Yiqiu earlier, everyone had only observed that his stats were extraordinarily high, that he possessed formidable combat techniques, and that his reaction speed was on par with a Tier 3 class—which was how he had one-shot Caomu Yiqiu.
But now it had become clear that assessment was completely wrong.
Outrageous base stats were certainly frightening, but what truly made them wary was Shi Feng's reaction speed. And this reaction speed was something special—it wasn't merely fast. The key was that the fluidity of Shi Feng's movements surpassed even their own. That was the decisive gap.
It was like an exam: Shi Feng could score 100 points, while they could only score 99. That single point of difference could not be overcome by pooling two people together—just as no number of 99s could ever match a 100.
Even if Shi Feng's stats were identical to Shi Xue Zhanhun's, the outcome would likely not change in the slightest. In other words, even if they raised their base stats to match Shi Feng's level, they still would not be his match.
"Black Flame, you'd better not do anything rash. Shi Xue Zhanhun is our Blood War Adventurer Corps' leader!" Mo Xinyu said with an icy expression, watching as Shi Feng held their leader in check.
Shi Feng's strength had far exceeded her expectations. She had never imagined things would turn out this way.
The Divine Realm was no ordinary virtual game—it was a virtual reality game.
Beyond displaying various data, it differed very little from the real world. Players were not monsters with thick skin and tremendous vitality, which was exactly why players needed armor to protect their bodies, just as main tanks needed shields—because a player's body on its own was extremely fragile.
It went without saying that with Shi Feng's overwhelming base stats and an epic-rank weapon in hand, even an ordinary Tier 2 class attacking an undefended neck could deal horrifying damage to Shi Xue Zhanhun.
A blade pressed against an unprotected throat meant one's life was in another's hands.
True, dying in the Divine Realm meant nothing more than losing a level. But people were not all the same. An ordinary expert dying was just dying—they already couldn't keep up with the Divine Realm's top players or compete for the resources of newly opened maps. But if a top-tier player died and lost a level, the losses would be enormous—let alone the leader of the Blood War Adventurer Corps.
The entire conference hall fell dead silent at Mo Xinyu's words. Everyone could not help but turn their gazes to Shi Feng, and even Feng Qianyu's expression had become visibly tense.
Though Shi Feng had subdued Shi Xue Zhanhun and demonstrated his overwhelming power to everyone, he had also thoroughly offended the Blood War Adventurer Corps.
