The silver-white armor gleamed brilliantly under the dim sky, standing out strikingly.
At that moment, Shi Feng was being furiously attacked by swords suspended in the sky. He abruptly halted, and dozens of swords from every direction simultaneously shot toward him.
Facing such a dense barrage with no room to move, even Shi Feng couldn't guarantee he could block them all.
"No good, I can't block them all like this. I have to speed up — I have to be faster!" Shi Feng watched the swords filling the sky, and through his analysis and experience, he reached an immediate conclusion.
Purgatory Power!
After activating Purgatory Power, Shi Feng's attack speed increased by 100%.
The Abyssal and the Shadow of Purgatory in his hands carved out arcs of sword light that seemed to wrap around his entire body, as the swords flying from every direction were knocked down one by one.
After two or three seconds, all the incoming swords had been struck down, scattering around Shi Feng.
"Necromantic creature — White Bone General?" Shi Feng activated his Eye of Omniscience and gazed quietly at the White Bone General in the distance.
He knew absolutely nothing about the specifics of these White Bone Generals.
One-on-one, a level 22 Shi Feng could handle them without issue, but against a whole group, even he had no certainty of victory. Combined with the swords still hovering in the sky as a serious threat, it wouldn't be surprising if both together killed him.
But right now, Shi Feng didn't know whether dying here meant failing the inheritance trial. If it did, then it would truly be over.
To be safe, Shi Feng had stopped to think of a strategy.
"There's no way to take a detour. Let me test the level of these White Bone Generals first."
The only way out was through the mountain peak, so retreating was not an option. But charging straight ahead and potentially getting himself killed wasn't exactly smart either.
So Shi Feng used Phantom Kill, sending a clone charging forward to test the White Bone Generals' strength, observe them, and figure out the best way to fight — plus it could reveal any other traps.
After all, this was one of the Holy Ten Inheritances. He couldn't afford to be careless.
The clone possessed 70% of Shi Feng's stats, more than enough to handle a single White Bone General.
The clone dodged swords while closing in on the White Bone Generals. At a distance of 40 yards, the White Bone General didn't charge — it just stared intently at the clone's every movement, radiating killing intent as if it could erupt at any moment.
The clone casually hurled a Blazing Fire Star, striking the nearest White Bone General in the leg for 816 points of damage. Its defense wasn't anything special, but the instant the projectile hit, the White Bone General started moving, charging straight at the clone.
It wasn't just the one that was hit — over a dozen White Bone Generals nearby were also agitated, all rushing toward the clone in unison.
Although the White Bone Generals were skeletons encased in silver armor, they moved at incredible speed. The 40-yard distance was covered in just four or five seconds.
However, Shi Feng's clone wasn't just standing still. It retreated while firing Blazing Fire Stars.
Clearly the clone had the speed advantage, but the swords from above limited its mobility, allowing the White Bone Generals to close the gap slightly while steadily losing health. Everything was going smoothly, and no other traps had been triggered.
Moreover, the White Bone Generals had very low intelligence — beyond basic defense, they just chased the clone relentlessly. After a short while of sustained damage from the clone, the first White Bone General collapsed to the ground.
Although the White Bone General died, it didn't grant Shi Feng a single point of experience. Aside from a small amount of skill proficiency, there was nothing.
Even after all dozen-plus White Bone Generals had been eliminated, Shi Feng still gained nothing.
But he didn't really care.
This was an inheritance trial. The main goal was to pass — earning experience or obtaining items wasn't what mattered.
