Chapter 1229: Many High-Rank Talents

Congratulations on passing the 0901st layer challenge!

You earned 901 challenge points!

You obtained one 4th-rank scroll!

This layer's challenge was just passed like that.

Xiao Feng watched the floating damage, deep in thought.

"It only did this much damage; it seems they really are completely copying player stats..."

A level 600 player with full main god equipment has extremely high damage reduction, exceeding 99.99%, with an overflow of at least 30%.

Without a weapon, his damage reduction ignore is only the 15% from the ring, which can be understood as basically 'no pierce,' and his damage is only one ten-thousandth of normal damage.

However, under his talent's effect, the boost and damage reduction cancel each other out, still resulting in a kill.

Objectively speaking, this stage's challenge is still quite tough; if it were someone else, they might not necessarily be able to win!

The 902nd layer began, giving him no time to rest, not even to drop combat; monsters refreshed immediately after a 10-second interval, ushering in the second battle.

The monster composition on the 902nd layer is knight + priest + archer + mage + mage, with only a 1-level increase, and the attribute panel seems hardly changed.

This combination is a high-output one; an opening round of attacks took 8 billion of Xiao Feng's HP and also dazed him.

However, in the face of the overbearing damage of Source Burst, they were all instantly killed in one move, clearing the stage in under three seconds.

Congratulations on passing the 0902nd layer challenge!

Congratulations on passing the 0903rd layer challenge!

Congratulations on passing the 0904th layer challenge!

Congratulations you……

Teams refreshed one after another; each combination varied slightly, but no matter how they changed, the priest and knight were always present, only the damage-dealing combination differed a bit.

When reaching the 921st layer, the refreshed enemies became different!

The monster composition remained five, still following Yuan Su Shen Yu's class combination.

However, above the head of that archer-class monster, a conspicuous mark appeared.

【4th-rank Talent】: Perceive Weakness – upon entering combat, automatically detect the enemy's weak point; hitting it ignores all of the enemy's defense attributes, and if the enemy hasn't noticed the attack, it will definitely inflict a lethal effect.

"What the heck? Did they steal Mang Mei's talent?"

Xiao Feng's eyes widened.

I never expected these monsters not only to have stats close to players', but also to be able to plagiarize talents!

Starting at 4th rank, they display a conspicuous mark; I guess the earlier ones were 1st–3rd rank talents, not very strong, so they weren't noticeable.

However, the combat power earlier occasionally showed monsters' damage suddenly spiking, which I suspect is similar to the Cloudtop Smoke talent that gives a tenfold boost.

Whoosh!

An arrow flew over at great speed, hard to dodge.

Xiao Feng was prepared, so he didn't suffer a lethal effect, but the Weakness Perception still worked—his defense was ignored, and the arrow dealt a 98-billion critical hit, which really hurt.

"If a weaker person had come, they'd probably have been insta-killed, right?" Xiao Feng exclaimed in astonishment.

Those who can reach this layer aren't weak, but few can withstand 98 billion damage.

It looks like layers above 900 are indeed designed for mid-tier main gods; players below level 500 almost can't reach them, unless they're as strong as him!

Source Burst!

Xiao Feng still stuck to his old routine, directly throwing a burst on the spot and instantly wiping them all out in one go.

Congratulations on passing the 0921st layer challenge!

Challenge points kept accumulating; each layer gave him some consumables that are very precious to ordinary players.

Occasionally there would be superior divine artifacts, even main god equipment appearing.

Starting from layer 921, each simulated player squad would appear with at least one talent of 4th rank or higher.

Xiao Feng also got his fill of eye candy, familiarizing himself with many talents he had never seen before.

Upon reaching the 930th layer, monsters were strengthened again, and 5th-rank talents appeared.

After the 940th layer, 6th-rank talents even appeared!

6th-rank talents are already extremely rare among players; even in the Primordial World, fewer than one in ten thousand possess such a level of talent,

within the Yuan Su Shen Yu realm, there are likely fewer than a hundred.

On the 943rd layer, Xiao Feng encountered the secondary talent of the No. 3 Mechanic, 【Devastating】, which makes all skills ignore defense attributes; it's equivalent to an upgraded version of Mang Mei's talent, but without triggering a lethal effect.

This talent made Xiao Feng extremely envious; he thought that when he later exchanges for a 6th-rank talent, it would be best to encounter this one, so that his No. 1 clone's output might have a chance to surpass his main body!

On the 944th layer, he also encountered the 6th-rank talent 【Infinite Chain Explosion】; each skill that hits a target triggers an explosion, dealing the same damage to other enemies within 100 meters, and the explosion damage ignores defense attributes.

This means that when you can't damage a boss, you can toss a level-1 rabbit beside it, then violently beat the level-1 rabbit, and you can directly blow up the boss!

Using it to exploit bugs is practically invincible!

Such a powerful talent also made Xiao Feng especially envious.

On the 946th layer, a 【Borrowing a Knife to Kill】 talent appeared on the priest monster; it triggers passively every 10 seconds, reflecting the skill suffered back onto a nearby random enemy.

Xiao Feng specially tested it; his damage is so high that he still can't break through this talent—when a Source Needle landed, it was still reflected back, dealing him a 229-billion critical hit, directly taking out half his life.

Fortunately he wasn't holding a weapon, so the ignore effect couldn't pierce the damage reduction; otherwise he would have killed himself.

This talent is pretty strong, but its drawback is obvious—it only triggers every 10 seconds; as long as you time it right, a burst combo can just take it out, leaving no chance to use it.

After testing the effect, Xiao Feng used a single Source Burst to wipe out those little monsters and moved on to the next stage.

Subsequently, on the 947th layer, another powerful talent appeared, named 【Finding Life in Desperate Situations】, on the knight monster; when receiving lethal damage, it instantly restores to full HP and also fully restores teammates' HP, grants +50% damage immunity for 10 seconds, and doubles everyone's attributes.

This talent is undoubtedly the advanced version of Li Li's 4th-rank talent 【Sacrificing Oneself for Benevolence】; it has huge significance in team battles, but for Xiao Feng it means nothing.

After all, with his durability, he probably won't trigger it even a few times in his lifetime.

After battle after battle, Xiao Feng's pace has remained swift; even if he sometimes spends a few seconds observing monster talent effects, it's at most around ten seconds, and he doesn't dawdle.

His ranking rose rapidly, and players inside and outside the Myriad Heavens Tower all noticed the change in the leaderboard.

Seeing his scores skyrocket, many people became excited.

"This Xiao Feng just took first prize in the Primeval World, and now he's about to summit the Myriad Heavens Tower!"

"Is the companion player dead after four million years? Why hasn't he shown up for so long, not even participating in the Primeval World?"

"Hiss! At this speed, the 1000th floor won't stop him; he's likely to blast past 1200 floors in one go!"

"Opportunities for top-tier experts to challenge the Myriad Heavens Tower are rare, and they too are fortunate to be able to witness it."

"He's cleared the 948th floor!"

"He's cleared the 949th too! Good heavens, that's less than 20 seconds!"

"The 950th floor, the 950th floor! This guy is insane, I really want to be banana friends with him..."

"Under the gaze of countless players watching the Myriad Heavens Tower's 1000 branches, Xiao Feng broke through the 950th-floor barrier!"
