Chapter 96: Expanding Horizons

After being killed once, Xiao Feng felt a bit uneasy.

He wanted to strike back, but he had no good reason, and moreover his strength was probably far insufficient.

Today's two battles were of extraordinary significance to him.

On one hand, he saw the top experts among the players, realizing he was not completely invincible; lucky players were not just him.

On the other hand, he also came into contact with some high-end information of the game world.

The power of a demigod…

The Nine Provinces Sword Immortal…

Planes…

This world is far vaster than he knew!

Just as the alien civilizations described when the game world first descended.

This is not merely a game, but also a universe vast beyond compare!

Once his strength reaches a certain level, Blue Star will connect with other cosmic civilizations.

Higher-level power and a more complex world will be revealed one by one.

By then, power will become even more crucial!

Although this is far in the future, Xiao Feng still kept it in mind.

After reaching level 100, he would go to Earth Core Lake to inquire of Master La Luo Na Er about higher-world information!

Xiao Feng and his two companions temporarily left Storm City to go outside and clear their red names.

Though they had left, the discussion did not stop.

After three consecutive battles, the number of witnesses grew from few to many.

Finally the Demigod City Lord appeared, and that stunning arrow that amazed all became a topic countless players chatted about.

On the contrary, the earlier battle between Xiao Feng and Jian Zan Cang Sheng, these two top players, attracted comparatively less attention.

First, the battle occurred so suddenly that only those nearby could see it; those a bit farther away, upon sensing the raging storm, wind, rain, and thunder, rushed over only to find the battle already over.

Of course, the scene of Xiao Feng summoning the Flame Lord left a deep impression in many people's minds.

This scene took place at the Teleportation Array, with no buildings blocking the view, making it far more spectacular than when it happened in the Blazing Flame Divine Hall, and thus more spectators witnessed it.

Xiao Feng's terror spread, with each shocking performance, like wings, swiftly reaching every corner of the Dragon Kingdom Half Region in Myriad Heavens.

Even those who hardly paid attention to the game's happenings had heard of it.

Yet behind Xiao Feng's terrifying power, an 87 million damage loomed like a great mountain pressing down from above!

As for Jian Zan Cang Sheng…

Besides Xiao Feng and a few others, hardly anyone noticed him.

Of course, this does not mean he is not formidable.

Quite the opposite, in Xiao Feng's mind, the threat posed by Jian Zan Cang Sheng far exceeds that of the Demigod City Lord!

The City Lord is an NPC; no matter how strong, he has only one life, so if he becomes an enemy, giving it a try is not without a chance to win.

But Jian Zan Cang Sheng is a player!

Someone with the power to instantly kill him, if determined to oppose him, will be a continual hassle for a long time to come.

Moreover, from this encounter, it seems unlikely they can coexist peacefully; next time they meet, there will surely be an even fiercer battle!

"Xiao Feng, the garrison defense battle starts in twenty minutes; have you settled things on your end? Can you make it in time?"

During the red-name clearing, Candle Dragon sent a message inquiring.

With Dragon Soul's keen intelligence, they surely knew what had just happened in Storm City and were a bit worried Xiao Feng might thus be unable to free himself.

Xiao Feng replied: "Don't worry, I'll be there soon; I'm clearing my red name."

Fifty sin points; at his monster‑killing speed it would be done in under three minutes.

"That's good. Haha… I just heard about what you did in Storm City—you're practically divine. With your help, our base can rest easy." Candle Dragon laughed.

"You flatter me; see you later." Xiao Feng replied politely and hung up.

"Old Xiao, you've firmly secured the top spot on the hot‑discussion list in Myriad Heavens; none of the many games before have produced someone as imposing as you. Whether a world‑champion‑level expert or a billion‑gold tycoon, none can be compared to you."

Li Li sighed.

Before Myriad Heavens launched, nobody imagined Xiao Feng would reach this point.

In less than three days, he far surpassed other players, reaching an unimaginable realm.

Xiao Feng laughed: "This is just the beginning; everything has only just started. You'd better get used to it—things will only get stronger."

"Damn, praise you a few lines and you're already puffing up!"

"Can't help it, I'm too handsome~"

The three laughed and chatted for a while.

They beat some wild monsters, cleared the map, and soon the red name was cleaned.

They crushed the Return City Scroll and returned to Storm City.

This time, the city guard soldiers coincidentally did not happen to pass by, nor did they shout at him to scram.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but scan the surroundings, then saw two patrol squads glaring at him fiercely from not far away.

That look clearly showed they were holding a grudge.

However, they dared not approach and act arrogantly, probably because after seeing his strength they felt wary.

The 'scram' count of the seven major cities thus decreased by one!

"Teleport, to Long Xue Cheng."

The three directly teleported to the main city where the Dragon Soul Guild is stationed.

Xiao Feng did not go to the Storm City Lord's Mansion; anyway, the Demigod City Lord Ka Xiu Si had not said he must be seen urgently, so a visit when convenient would do.

After arriving at Long Xue Cheng, the three again took a small teleportation array to reach the base of the Long Hun Guild.

Here they come, here they come, Xiao Feng the Great God has arrived!

As soon as their figures appeared, surprised voices rang out from all around.

Taking a closer look, the surroundings were a simple, unadorned village; a group of high-end players wearing top-quality equipment gathered together, looking at them with eager anticipation.

Further away, large numbers of guild members bearing the 'Long Hun' or 'Gods' icons on their heads had already set up thick defensive circles inside and outside the city walls, ready to face invading monsters.

"Xiao Feng!" Chu Long stood at the very front of the crowd, laughing loudly as he shouted, "Come quickly, come quickly, let me introduce you to a few friends."

All around him were expert players, and the closest was the president of the Gods Guild, Shen Di.

"Such a grand welcome, I'm truly honored and startled~"

Xiao Feng smiled and walked toward the two presidents.

"Boss Shen Di, first time meeting, pleasure to meet you."

Shen Di can be called the number one of the Long Guo player guilds; his strength compared to Long Hun is only stronger, not weaker; his personal combat ability is extraordinary, his wealth is unfathomable; he belongs to the type of person it's best to befriend rather than make an enemy of.

"Great God Xiao Feng, rumors about you are everywhere out there; today I really want to witness your divine abilities myself." Shen Di was also very courteous toward Xiao Feng, just like everyone else, calling him "Great God."

This person possesses a cold, noble aura deep down, but on the surface he still appears relatively approachable.

This is probably because everyone around him now are top-tier gaming circle experts; if it were a bunch of ordinary players, he likely wouldn't even bother to pay them any attention.

Xiao Feng said humbly: "I wouldn't dare show off my skills before an expert; I'm just messing around. By the way, these two are my closest friends, Old Li and Old Zhang; we're all casual solo players, and I hope to receive your continued guidance in the future."

When showing off, one must not forget one's brothers; in such a big scene, as long as he takes the initiative to introduce them, Li Li and Zhang Fan will gain many friend requests.

After a few words of casual chat, Chu Long and Shen Di also introduced some elite experts from their respective guilds to Xiao Feng.
