Chapter 595: Intimidation

After finishing their meal, everyone returned to the game.

Teammates began exploring the various gameplay of Shen Jie.

Meanwhile, Xiao Feng remained sitting in the tree, waiting for the Awakening Spirit Holy Bright Fruit to ripen, and incidentally studied magic.

"The arrangement structure of the fire element is still quite simple..."

After reading for almost a day, plus his prior knowledge accumulation, Xiao Feng had already grasped the essence of some fire magic.

He sat in the tree, with one hand making a grasping motion, drawing out his Primal Attribute Divine Power from within and converting it into fire element.

Hmm~

A blaze burned in his palm, but caused him no harm whatsoever.

Xiao Feng tried increasing his divine power output; under the infusion of divine power, the flame in his palm leapt up to three meters high, the scorching heat directly burning a banana‑sized leaf into charcoal.

He played with the flame for a while, feeling that the fire in his hand could be commanded as easily as an arm, smooth and effortless, with no sense of stiffness.

Playing with fire like this still couldn't be counted as comprehending a skill.

However, his talent had already merged into his divinity; even if it wasn't a skill, the fire he released could receive a Ten Thousand Times damage boost, making its lethality equally impressive.

What Xiao Feng currently lacks is not this small‑scale elemental control, but large‑scale area magic!

He extinguished the flame, then drew out even more Primal Attribute Divine Power, forming a magic array structure around his body.

This process took about one second.

Afterwards it was converted into fire element and compressed for ignition.

The flames instantly rose, a small Sea of Fire Technique appearing directly in midair.

To avoid harming the Spirit Fruit Ancient Tree, Xiao Feng merely tested it briefly before quickly extinguishing the flames.

"The speed of casting Sea of Fire is noticeably slow; I can't launch a dozen of them with a single thought like fireballs..."

Xiao Feng examined the cause himself.

Actually, it's just that he isn't proficient enough with the structure of the magic array; it hasn't been deeply imprinted in his mind, so each time he uses it he must first think through what the array looks like and how to set it up before acting.

If he could engrave the magic array in his mind, forming a reaction akin to "muscle memory," he could cast large‑scale magic at will, with a single thought.

But this requires a high level of proficiency; the specific training method is the same as honing a Transformation Realm Skill.

Furthermore, if he memorized all magic structures and could freely combine them, he could release any magic he desired.

Reaching that state would mean he had mastered magic completely.

Given Xiao Feng's current understanding of magic structures, he hasn't reached that level yet; but with Primal Attribute as a foundation, he can freely wield divine power to produce basic magics such as fire, wind, and water flows.

Although its burst power doesn't match that of a proper skill, with his powerful talent as a foundation he can still slaughter any opponent below the rank of Main God!

Time flowed slowly.

Xiao Feng occasionally went online and offline, switching between the real world and the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

The time in both places is synchronized, though the day‑night cycles differ somewhat.

In the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, night lasts about seven hours while day lasts roughly seventeen hours.

Due to the time difference, sometimes when Xiao Feng logs off the real world is daytime, but after eating and returning to the game it becomes night.

The night scenery of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield is beautiful; there are four moons in the sky—one large and three small.

The largest moon is pale blue; its apparent size compared to the moon on Blue Star is more than ten times larger, gorgeous beyond compare, hanging high in the heavens and shedding light upon the earth.

The other three moons are about the same size as the moon on Blue Star, but scattered in different positions.

The countless stars in the night sky sparkle brightly, undimmed by the light of the four moons, still radiating their own glow.

After enduring two nights in the game, when the third day arrived the ripening time of the Awakening Spirit Holy Bright Fruit had entered the final one‑hour countdown.

Sitting in the tree, Xiao Feng caught a whiff of the fruit's sweet fragrance and couldn't help but salivate.

This aroma spread far and wide; many nearby living beings were drawn to it, beginning to gather toward the Spirit Fruit Ancient Tree.

"Time to prepare for battle."

Xiao Feng drew his weapon and stood up.

The fruit was not far away; a single leap would let him pluck it.

But this hour will likely involve many battles!

"Ga~ ga~"

Bird cries came from the sky; a flock of creatures resembling crows flew over, heading straight for the soon‑to‑ripen fruit.

Xiao Feng saw that they were merely a flock of Half‑God Spirit Bird Clan beings around level 280, posing little threat.

Nevertheless, to prevent the fruit from being destroyed, he quickly reacted, drawing on his Primal Attribute Divine Power and transforming it into Ice Breath, which he shot toward the distance.

Hiss~

The cold power sprayed continuously like a water gun; the approaching birds were struck by his terrifying damage, frozen into ice lumps that fell to the ground and shattered.

The death of this Half‑God Spirit Bird Clan flock did not deter other creatures eyeing the fruit.

At the base of the tree gathered more wild beasts and Calamity Demon Tribe powerhouses.

Among them were not a few of Upper God strength; even the Golden Ape that had previously fled had returned, lying in wait for an opportunity.

With so many monsters, Xiao Feng himself wasn't afraid—his health and defense were high enough that he couldn't be killed even if he wanted to die.

However, if some monsters recklessly tried to seize the fruit, it would still be quite troublesome.

Because god‑level creatures usually possess some long‑range attack skills; they don't need to climb the tree to snatch the fruit, they can also pluck it from afar and take it away.

This is a real headache!

Standing on a branch over three hundred meters high, Xiao Feng shouted, "I advise you all: don't take reckless risks. Even if you snatch the Awakening Spirit Holy Bright Fruit, you still need to be alive to enjoy it," trying to dissuade those who wanted to compete.

But the wild beasts and Calamity Demon Tribe monsters beneath the tree had no intention of leaving, acting as if they hadn't heard.

Xiao Feng felt helpless.

In that case, all we can do is unleash a wave of attacks first!

He knew his speed at level 315 was definitely no match for those level 400-plus, even level 500 Upper Gods.

When the time arrives, those strong ones will flash to the fruit by various means to harvest it. If we can't scare them off, we'll likely capsize later.

He swept the staff downward in a circle, and a dozen huge fireballs, like consecutive cannonballs, shot off in all directions.

"Roar!"

The Upper Gods of the Wilderness Beast Tribe let out roars, and the monsters of the Calamity Demon Tribe also released skills trying to scatter the fireballs.

But they all underestimated the fireball's destructive power!

"Boom!"

The first fireball shattered all incoming skills and smashed into the clearing beneath the tree.

The 14-meter fireball exploded, engulfing everything within a 50-meter radius in high-temperature flames, instantly killing everything in the area.

A dozen or so fireballs that followed exploded in various positions, with a tremendous rumbling, completely clearing the open space before the Spirit Fruit Ancient Tree.

Some quick-reacting monsters escaped in time, but many more were turned to ashes on the spot, leaving only divine sparks and some materials on the ground.

"How terrifying these humans are..."

"Forget it, we can't compete, let's go!"

"Sigh, we can only wait for the next opportunity..."

Seeing his overbearing manner, many strong ones who had wanted to compete sighed and slipped away.

But a few who overestimated their abilities still didn't leave.
