Chapter 232: Not Playing Melee Is a Shame【Continued 7 Updates!】

"Not bad!" Xiao Feng achieved his goal, he then put away his threatening expression and tossed the scroll and staff back into his backpack.

He checked his equipment and said: "I need level 250 mythic gear, slots including ring, hat, and pants. Among these, I need reduced casting time and increased control resistance. The rest should be based on survivability, the tankier the better."

He already has necklace, robe, single ring, belt, shoes, and gloves—these six slots are super mythic gear.

He only needs four more pieces to have a full set of graduation gear.

He can use the weapon 【Fire God's Wrath】; breaking through the Holy Land won't take long, so he doesn't need to waste the artificer's energy on crafting—just need to customize three slots.

Balike nodded and said: "Got it! I'll make it for you after I finish what I'm doing."

The thing at hand……could it be referring to the blonde girl?

How long will it take to finish that?

Xiao Feng's expression flickered oddly, but he didn't feel like saying more.

After all, this is the master's personal hobby; as long as deliveries are regular, he couldn't be bothered with anything else.

"Alright, stay safe, I'm leaving first." Xiao Feng waved his hand and left straight away.

Just as he stepped out of the courtyard, a sound of "hengheng hehe" came from inside.

"Sigh..."

Xiao Feng sighed helplessly, left the Cheng Zhu Fu, and returned to the Xiao Zhai.

The coming time will be relatively idle; he can train slowly.

After a few hours of Zhan Chang time, the Xiao Zhai was basically remodeled; entering the gate, to the left is a training ground, with three small rooms built to store training equipment.

To the right is a shooting range, with large and small targets neatly arranged, giving it a military vibe.

Straight through the gate is a stone-paved road; the road extends over 300 meters, which is Xiao Feng's "Ice and Fire Dual Heavens".

One fire and one water training area are tightly connected, but isolated by a magic formation and special materials, so they don't affect each other and won't form a hot spring.

On both sides of the water-fire pool there are roads; to the west stands a residence for Old Li, with a small fish pond in front and a statue of the Moon Chief Deity beside it.

To the east is a garden planted with over a dozen kinds of flowers that bloom year-round and never wither.

Further back there is a small grove and a row of houses for the other teammates.

Xiao Feng's own residence remains unchanged, except a bamboo grove has been added beside it, creating the atmosphere of a hermit's dwelling.

After the renovation, the residence's grade jumped considerably, far surpassing its originally empty state.

"Old Xiao, you're back." came Zhang Fan's greeting from the left training ground.

Zhang Fan and Dun Dun were training.

They have both reached third transformation and exchanged for level 200 Zhan Chang gear; their strength is now considerable.

Zhang Fan wears full mythic gear plus one super mythic piece; his HP exceeds 700,000, showing the Dragon Blood Warrior's HP advantage in full.

Moreover, his attack is not bad; his total attack nears 10,000 points, stronger than Xiao Feng's panel by a notch.

Speaking purely of class strength, without the Ten Thousand Times multiplier, Xiao Feng might not be his match.

Dun Dun's attributes have also risen greatly; although she is currently in a -50% weakened state, wearing full mythic gear, her knight class HP and defense are formidable—HP reaches 350,000, both defenses exceed 8,000, damage reduction is high, making it hard for ordinary bosses to harm her.

Once her attributes recover, she can easily tank a level 200 mythic boss.

Of course, she needs a powerful healer; otherwise, with that much HP, ordinary people couldn't keep her healed.

"How do you feel, have you experienced the thrill of being strong?" Xiao Feng smiled as he walked toward the two.

Zhang Fan laughed: "It's pretty awesome, but still not awesome enough!"

"Haha, that's for sure—you're both level 210, capable of fifth transformation, but you're only third now, so your stat advantages can't be fully unleashed." Xiao Feng understood this feeling well.

He is now level 250, but his stat advantage isn't actually that big.

The later the class advancement, the more noticeable the improvement.

The attack and HP conversion growth from first to second transformation is low; compared to the previous stage, the difference is hardly felt.

But the difference between fourth and fifth transformation is more apparent, with HP and attack beginning to increase significantly.

Sixth transformation to demigod need not be mentioned—it's a huge leap.

Seventh transformation to godhood is an even greater qualitative change; at that point HP will be counted in millions!

Even the alien player "Shen Chuo" that Xiao Feng has encountered hasn't yet stepped into god tier!

"Senior Xiao Feng, how long did it take you to reach fourth transformation? Willpower requires 100 points, but we only have 10 now..."

Dun Dun asked a question.

Xiao Feng shamelessly laughed: "Well… I didn't calculate precisely, but it didn't take long. After all, my mind is sharp, my talent high—I leapt up in minutes."

Actually, it's all thanks to the Soul Spirit Pearl!

"Hmm… looks like I need to work hard too! Senior Zhang, let's keep going!" Dun Dun clenched her tiny fists, fighting spirit soaring.

After saying that, she raised a practice ordinary shield and lunged at Zhang Fan… the shield smacked Old Zhang's face.

"Are you guys sparring?" Xiao Feng asked interestedly.

Zhang Fan nodded: "The career change instructor advised us to fight without skills, doing high-intensity combat training. Our base stats are too strong; only same-level players can spar, otherwise a normal attack could one-shot a level 100 squishy."

Dun Dun seemed to think of something, turned her head to look at Xiao Feng, a little excitedly asking: "Senior Xiao Feng, want to come spar with us?" Her eyes sparkled, eager to give it a try.

The gaze of the loli T mengmengna made it hard to refuse.

Xiao Feng thought, then nodded: "Alright, let's give it a try—I used to play a tank too, my martial arts talent shouldn't be bad either."

While speaking, he casually picked up a practice wooden sword and walked into the arena.

"I'm here~"

Seeing his genuine agreement, Dun Dun immediately ran over excitedly.

After greeting, she shouted "hey ya!" and raised her shield to charge.

Right off the bat, it was a shield smack to the face!

Xiao Feng nimbly sidestepped, thrust with the wooden sword, and hit her squarely on the shoulder.

Yah, I underestimated Senior Xiao Feng! Come again!

Dun Dun is also a competitive kid; after taking a small loss, he immediately became serious and earnestly sparred with Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng has played as a knight for half his life; his familiarity with knight players' controls is second nature, so he doesn't need to be overly serious to predict Dun Dun's next move.

He wields a wooden sword with one hand, moves lightly and easily, his movements flowing like clouds and water, handling everything with ease.

Zhang Fan watched from the side, shaking his head and sighing: 'This guy not playing melee is truly a waste of talent.'

'Damn! A mage playing melee is this strong!' Dun Dun, after repeated defeats, became angry from embarrassment, stepped forward with a sweeping leg kick trying to knock Xiao Feng down.

The move failed; instead, Xiao Feng seized the opening, closed in and collided, directly causing his upper body to tilt, he fell, even his shield flew from his hand.

For a moment he felt sulky, sat on the ground, sniffled, and said angrily: 'You guys are too strong; I'll pester you to train every day until I defeat you!'

Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile.

'Train hard; when you all reach the Saint Realm, I'll take you to play in the Abyss World.'

On the surface of Zhu Shen Da Lu, aside from the major main cities, there seems to be nothing that can pose a challenge to him.

Now he still needs some city-building orders and divinity; perhaps going to the Abyss World to slay a few demon lords would be a good choice.
