The terrifying magic power surging from Ziyan Liuyun's body on the arena left not only the spectators utterly dumbfounded, but even
"Magic power eruption! Ziyan actually broke through that limit so quickly?"
"Broke through? Guild Leader, what did Ziyan break through exactly?" Water Rose, seated nearby, had caught a vague sense that
At that moment, it wasn't just Water Rose who was curious. Everyone else turned toward
If before, Ziyan Liuyun's aura had been comparable to a Legendary monster of the same level, then right now she was a living, breathing Legendary monster. That dense magic power would have been like a blazing sun to anyone with even slightly heightened magical perception—so dazzling it was blinding, impossible to look at directly.
No player had ever been seen with magic power this powerful. Not even fourth-tier NPCs had reached such heights.
"Ziyan broke through the 100% shackles of the Magic Body and reached an entirely new domain,"
The breakthrough of the Magic Body was something he had always longed for himself. Only by breaking through the 100% shackles of the Magic Body would he have a greater chance of passing the fourth-tier advancement trial and the Sacred Dragon's challenge.
But he had never expected that Ziyan Liuyun would be the one to break through that limit first.
Truly worthy of being the sixth-tier Divine Priest from his previous life—one who had single-handedly advanced to the sixth-tier class through sheer talent, surpassing even the God-ranked experts of first-rate guilds who had achieved sixth-tier status.
"Guild Leader, isn't the Magic Body supposed to cap at 100%? How can you even break past 100%?"
Reaching 100% on the Magic Body had already given her a sense of absolute perfection—whether using magic skills or controlling the body's magic flow, there seemed to be no room for further improvement. In that state, it was hard to imagine how one could possibly break through any further.
Once the Magic Body reached 100%, that should be perfection. Even if further progress were possible, it should be about breaking through the third-tier bottleneck and advancing to the fourth tier.
"I imagine some of you have broken past 100% completion on magic skills before. The unlocking of the Magic Body works just the same way—100% isn't the end, it's merely a new beginning. The difference is that breaking past 100% on the Magic Body is far more difficult than surpassing 100% skill completion. I'd say among a hundred thousand third-tier experts, you might not find even a single one who can do it."
"End? Can Ziyan actually win this match?" Water Rose asked upon hearing
At that moment, Zui Yan had been significantly suppressed by the magical domain. Of his twelve afterimages, only eight remained—meaning his combat power had been reduced by at least thirty percent. But even so, the situation still didn't look favorable for Ziyan Liuyun.
Twenty-two Shadow Swords against twelve afterimages versus eight afterimages—there was fundamentally no significant difference. They still couldn't stop Zui Yan from closing the distance.
Once a magic-class fighter was pinned down by a melee-class fighter in close combat, the battle was over.
If Ziyan Liuyun's opponent right now weren't Zui Yan, a melee fighter, but rather another magic-class fighter, then she could absolutely win. The magic power she had erupted with was truly terrifying, and under that kind of pressure, nearby magic-class fighters would struggle to draw upon ambient magical elements for combat—giving Ziyan Liuyun an overwhelming advantage.
Unfortunately, Zui Yan was not only a melee fighter, but a top-tier hidden class: the Shadow Knight.
The Shadow Knight class was essentially a fusion of the Assassin, Berserker, and Guardian Knight classes—possessing an Assassin's agility, a Berserker's raw power, and a Guardian Knight's defense, all combined with unmatched combat technique. That was precisely why he was universally regarded as the strongest fighter within the Azure Merchant Alliance.
Under these circumstances, she truly couldn't see what chance of victory Ziyan Liuyun still had. After all, greater magic power only made magic skills hit harder—but if those skills couldn't connect, they were meaningless.
And at that moment, it wasn't just Water Rose who thought so. Everyone in the audience came to the same conclusion. This was common knowledge within the Divine Realm: while powerful magic was indeed incredibly beneficial to players, its advantages were primarily useful against monsters.
Unlocking the Magic Body, for instance, only enhanced magic power and magical control.
Magic skills became far more powerful as a result, which indirectly boosted a player's combat effectiveness—but their reaction speed and physical constitution didn't change at all. When base stats were equal, the advantage against experts skilled at evasion became significantly smaller.
"Impressive! To still be able to boost your combat power at this point—this alone is enough to secure you a firm spot among the top three of the Divine Realm's younger generation."
Zui Yan looked at Ziyan Liuyun, whose magic power was erupting like a volcanic explosion, and couldn't help but offer his praise. But his feet never faltered for even a moment. On the contrary, his movements grew more precise as he closed the distance to Ziyan Liuyun, arriving less than ten yards away. He raised his greatsword and swung it down toward her.
