Chapter 89: Ordinary Skill
The city guards all glared at him angrily, but in the end they didn't act and let him leave.
Xiao Feng strode away, his nonchalant back view making the players admire him even more.
"Too strong, too strong!"
"This is what a god-tier player is like — daring to talk back to an NPC army, giving no one any face!"
"If I had even half his skill… no, not even half, just one percent would be enough!"
"Waaah, who knows where Xiao Feng, the god, lives? I want to go warm his bed, I want to be his mistress!"
After this incident, Xiao Feng's fame grew even greater.
As the number one on the Level Ranking, he naturally attracted attention.
Frequently appearing in announcements also made countless people remember this name; even without looking at the rankings, everyone knew there was such a formidable person.
Recently, he first single-handedly defended the Conquest Guild's garrison, and then dealt over 2.7 billion terrifying damage in one minute.
How could such news be contained?
Although the game "All Heavens" had no official forum or built-in community, thanks to word‑of‑mouth among players and the spread of the Blue Star Network, countless people still learned how terrifying Xiao Feng was.
High level, hidden class, super strong output, violent temper, good‑looking……
These are his labels.
And now another must be added — extremely arrogant!
Killing Temple Knights at the temple gate — is that arrogant enough?
Even giving orders to the Archbishop — simply arrogant to the point of lawlessness!
Many people are guessing where Xiao Feng's such great strength comes from.
Some say he got a divine artifact from a beginner's lottery, some say it's divine talent, others claim he's an alien using backstage cheats.
No matter how the rumors spread, Xiao Feng himself never stepped forward, so it remains only speculation.
Some even tried to dox Xiao Feng, find the real player, and ask for gameplay tips.
And all of this, Xiao Feng himself couldn't care less.
Or perhaps… he simply doesn't realize how much attention he's drawn.
……
After leaving the temple, Xiao Feng returned to Stormwind City via the Teleportation Array.
The NPC soldiers' angry scolding came as scheduled, unimproved even by the Badge of Gods' Glory.
Xiao Feng couldn't be bothered, opened his friend list, poked "Old Li Next Door," and asked, "Old Li, you're well‑informed, help me gather some news."
Li Li instantly replied, "What do you want to know? I'm fighting a boss — make it short!"
"Find two mythic bosses above level 100 — one called the Evil Spirit General Demon Sword, the other the Evil Spirit Bishop Blood Sea." Xiao Feng said concisely.
The quest "Subdue the Four Great Evil Spirits" didn't specify where each boss is located.
Earlier, while helping the Conquest Guild defend its garrison, the Beacon Bishop — being near Moon City — was forcibly conscripted by the system into the Siege Army.
But the other two won't conveniently appear; he has to find them himself.
Upon hearing that, Li Li replied, "Sure, I'll have my friends look into it right away and get back to you soon."
"Well, is your boss easy to beat? Do you need help? I've already done my second class change, so I'm fairly free now." Xiao Feng said.
Li Li firmly refused, "Come on, with you around even a pathetic boss is pointless — games need difficulty to be fun; we'll just slowly take it ourselves. Never mind, Old Zhang is about to get killed; I'll heal him first and talk later."
Having said that, he hung up.
Xiao Feng chuckled.
Li Li's hurried tone reminded him of the times the three of them used to team up to clear dungeons and push bosses.
He used to play a tank, always standing in the front line taking hits; whenever they encountered a tough boss, he'd be tortured to the brink of death.
That's the main reason he doesn't want to keep playing tank.
Now, because of the Curse of Otto Gu, monsters still target him as their primary hate target.
But his powerful survivability and output have completely freed him from that helplessness.
Now he even feels a bit nostalgic for the days of getting beaten up.
"Sigh, who'll come beat me up?" Xiao Feng sighed, shamelessly talking to himself.
Li Li still needed some time to gather news, so he didn't rush to level up; instead he ran to the warehouse and learned the Demonic Corrosion skill book he'd obtained long ago for his second class change.
After learning that book, his total skills reached 18, basically eliminating any skill gaps and allowing endless cyclic output.
However, the monsters worthy of letting him cycle output seem to have become very few.
Xiao Feng glanced at the effects of several new skills; he'd switched classes so hastily earlier that he hadn't bothered to check them.
Water Shield: instantly creates a water shield to block damage. The shield lasts up to 3 seconds, has 1000 HP, and if a single instance of damage exceeds the shield's absorption limit, it negates that damage. Cooldown 15 seconds.
This water shield's effect is similar to that of Holy Shield, Blood Shield, Fire Shield, etc.; its shield value is low, basically only able to block some single‑hit burst skills.
However, Xiao Feng can amplify it ten thousandfold; for him it's not just a Holy Shield but a 10 million‑HP shield effect, and combined with an Earth Elemental Shield it's very useful.
Thunder Strike Technique: chant for 1 second, mark an enemy, summon thunderclouds to track it. The clouds drop a lightning bolt each second, dealing 175% of attack power as magical damage, for a total of five strikes. Cooldown 60 seconds.
This skill is a god‑tier PVP move — locking onto an enemy and striking five times yields up to 875% total damage; even an ordinary player using it can deal very considerable damage.
But for Xiao Feng it's somewhat redundant, since he insta‑kills people, monsters, and bosses alike, so he doesn't need the follow‑up four strikes.
Chanting one second for 175% damage is less worthwhile than instantly casting a Lightning Arrow for 280%.
Levitation Technique: removes all control, putting the user into a floating state. While floating, they are immune to all control but their defense drops to 0. Duration 3 seconds, cooldown 30 seconds.
This is the mage class's first crowd‑control removal skill, of great strategic significance.
Removing control and being free of it for 3 seconds allows many actions — taking pills, unleashing ultimates, fleeing — all can be done without hindrance.
However, during that period defense drops to 0, which is quite a headache for ordinary players, making them easy to be focus‑fired and killed instantly.
Xiao Feng walked down the street and cast Levitation Technique on himself to test its effect.
The skill effect activated, his body became much lighter, and he flew up over 2 meters high.
"Eh, there's no amplification at all?"
He originally thought both of his innate skills would take effect, giving him 30000 seconds of Invincible Body and flying up to 11 times the height.
As a result, it was completely useless! Invincible Body remained 3 seconds!
His Levitation Technique was exactly the same as an ordinary player's Levitation Technique, with no difference at all!
"Emmm... could the effect of Ten Thousand Times Amplification have amplified to 'defense equals zero'?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but think to himself.
Defense reduced to 0, multiplied by ten thousand, still 0, equivalent to no change.
Moreover, the Weather Mage's "Scale Expansion" effect was completely ineffective against Levitation Technique, because this skill inherently has no "scale" to speak of.
Having figured out the reason, Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh.
It's also rare; finally there's a skill that isn't so outrageous.
