Chapter 290: with translation of chapter title

Main text Chapter 290 Zhan Fu's duel request

The main city's grand avenue was full of corpses; many people died so suddenly that for a moment they forgot to respawn.

Xiao Feng headed straight for the lord's platform along the main road.

After the forbidden spell cleared the road, it was easy to travel, and no one would jump out to block him.

However, Xiao Feng also didn't let his guard down, constantly maintaining at least one layer of elemental shield to ensure he would never die.

After all, there are still many expert players in the game; if an invisible guy suddenly popped out and stabbed him, getting instantly killed would be too embarrassing.

Although the Doomsday Tian Kong players in the city were basically all dead, the streets didn't become quiet because of that.

The corpses were still chatting away.

"This person is too strong… My goodness, Zhan Fu probably isn't his match!"

"What should we do now? Respawn somewhere else or…"

"Respawn, respawn, the guild leader's order: everyone respawn!"

As we walked, the corpses gradually dwindled.

At the same time, on the Teleportation Array outside the city, a large number of revived Doomsday Tian Kong players appeared in droves.

"Have you given up?"

Watching the players respawn and leave, Xiao Feng sighed, he was truly too strong; even such a huge guild couldn't stop him.

Outside the city, battle still raged, and many people followed his breakthrough into the city.

However, no one dared to go past his position to charge the lord's platform.

Because everyone witnessed his terror and didn't want to be instantly killed again.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Feng ran to the base of the lord's platform.

Looking up, on the 45-meter-high platform stood a white, muscular player in armor, shouldering a greatsword, seemingly waiting for him.

【Zhan Fu】

Level: 151

Class: Slaughter Envoy

HP: 241150/241150

Guild: Doomsday Tian Kong

Title: Abyss Zhan Chang·General

This is the top player on the international server's Level Ranking, very popular, with extremely strong operation, and also possesses a powerful main god class.

On the individual kill leaderboard for the territory war, he had also once made the top ten, but in the past ten or so minutes he hadn't killed much and dropped again.

"Xiao Feng?"

Zhan Fu greeted him from his high position on the platform.

They were over a hundred meters apart; Xiao Feng could kill him with a tiny wind blade, and as a melee fighter he had no ability to resist.

"What's up?" Xiao Feng replied casually, using Wind Soaring Technique, too lazy to climb the stairs, and flew straight up.

Zhan Fu said arrogantly, "I've heard you're strong; dare to duel me?"

"Uh..."

Xiao Feng tilted his head, a question mark appearing above his head.

"Haven't you seen the scene of your guild being wiped out by me? Tens of thousands couldn't stop me, and you alone want to duel me?"

His gaze seemed to be looking at an idiot.

But Zhan Fu

yet he spoke in a disdainful tone, saying, "That only proves your damage is high and your range wide, but in terms of skill, you are absolutely no match for me!"

"Skill? What skill? Flirting skills? I'm indeed not good at that." Xiao Feng was amused.

Isn't playing a game just about competing in damage and survivability?

Even if your skill is superb, what good is an attack power of 1?

You could even do -1, -1 to kill a boss with infinite HP?

Although Zhan Fu's attack power isn't as low as 1, against Xiao Feng it's actually not much different.

Zhan Fu saw the contempt in Xiao Feng's eyes, but wasn't angry, merely saying, "I want to compare combat techniques with you. We won't use skills; let's see who can kill the other first with plain attacks!"

Xiao Feng: …

Well, turns out he's a shameless player.

A melee fighter telling a mage not to use skills—isn't that just playing dirty?

Pure strength build vs pure intelligence build, competing with basic physical attacks without skills—obviously the former has the advantage!

It seemed he was afraid Xiao Feng wouldn't agree, so Zhan Fu added, "Your HP is eight times mine; aren't you even daring to accept this challenge?" trying to goad him.

Xiao Feng was indeed left speechless.

But since the other party was so enthusiastic, he didn't mind playing along.

Anyway, the territory war lasts three days; it's just begun, so the first two days can be spent fooling around as long as he keeps the Divine Punishment cooldown available.

"Fine, then I'll reluctantly give you some pointers." Xiao Feng, who was never humble, used Wind Soaring Technique to fly up to the third level of the lord's platform, then put away his staff and landed on the ground.

The third level of the lord's platform is a square arena about 75 meters on each side, with a raised platform in the center where a flag can be planted.

Currently, the 15-meter-high "Doomsday Tian Kong" guild flag is fluttering in the wind; its emblem is a skull plus two knives, looking like a pirate flag.

Zhan Fu put away his transcendent mythic weapon battle blade and switched to a blue-quality ordinary weapon.

"I'm skilled with blades; I'm not used to fighting unarmed. This weapon doesn't add much in stats, so it's not giving you an advantage." He explained.

Isn't that still not taking advantage?

Xiao Feng opened his inventory and saw…

Okay, I don't have a single melee weapon; I left them all at home.

If I took a staff, I'd worry they'd lose and be unhappy, so I'll take nothing and fight barehanded.

"Come on, little bro." He adjusted his robe, staggered his feet front and back, opened his fists and palms, and assumed the starting stance of Wing Chun.

— Actually, he doesn't know any martial arts at all.

"Huh? Chinese martial arts?"

Seeing this stance, Zhan Fu's pupils contracted, as if facing a formidable foe!

But thinking that he was fighting for the honor of M Country, as long as he killed Xiao Feng he would become the top operator in Myriad Heavens, his fighting spirit boiled over again.

"Battle!"

Zhan Fu roared, raised his blade and leapt to chop.

He also kept his word, using no skill, simply wielding his weapon normally.

Xiao Feng estimated that as a level 150+ divine profession warrior, even without a weapon his total strength points should exceed 1500, which is still a bit more than his own just over 1000.

However, he had over a million HP, so there seemed nothing to fear.

"Come on!"

He planned to take it head-on.

Right hand clenched into a fist, left foot stepped forward, as Zhan Fu's greatsword came down, he suddenly ducked and lunged forward.

Click!

Boom!

The battle blade struck Xiao Feng's shoulder; due to his absurd defense, not even his clothing was dented, only losing 1000 HP.

And Xiao Feng's following punch, a close-range blast, hit Zhan Fu's chest.

A thousand points of strength directly sent Zhan Fu stumbling back three steps before he steadied, and a damage number over 1000 likewise appeared above his head.

"Your strength is actually this strong!" Zhan Fu exclaimed in shock.

Xiao Feng shrugged, "Do you think I'm a weak mage with no strength to truss a chicken?"

Everyone's a skilled player in the game; how can this kid be so naive?

"I underestimated you! Come again!" Zhan Fu shouted low, continuing to swing his blade in battle.

At this moment, Zhan Fu's heart was greatly shocked.

He knew his own attack power!

In fact, his super mythic gear totals three pieces! His weapon is just a surface thing; even if put away, his attack power still reaches up to 12000!

He originally thought that with this attack power, plus his percentage armor penetration and damage reduction immunity, at the very least one slash could cut Xiao Feng for over ten thousand.

But the result was only over 1000, simply not enough to scare him silly.

Xiao Feng's defense is terrifying!

Even without calculating damage reduction, it can negate over 90% of his physical damage!

Roughly speaking, his physical defense starts at at least 10000!

Is this still a squishy mage?

Even fully armored knights aren't this tanky!

Thud!

Clang~

Boom!

Crack!

The two fought on the top level of the Lord's Platform, trading blows back and forth.

Xiao Feng's combat technique is indeed far inferior to Zhan Fu's, after all he hasn't undergone systematic martial arts training, while Zhan Fu in reality is a professional-level free fighting expert.

But the game world has its own quirks; the movement speed bonus from his shoes gives Xiao Feng an edge in agility, allowing him to advance and retreat freely in combat, not falling behind at all.

Both were using plain physical attacks, dealing only just over 1000 damage each.

Xiao Feng roughly calculated that, on average, after taking two hits he could land one punch on the opponent; converting HP equivalently, killing the opponent would be a piece of cake.

But things obviously weren't that simple.

After three minutes of fighting, Xiao Feng suddenly noticed dense footsteps all around!
