Realms of Refinement: Flowing Water Realm Trial

Realms of Truth: Ascension Realm Trial

Permanent Training Space Gravity Increase: 1X → 3X

Almighty Gaming Pod Fluid Quality Enhancement: S-Rank Fluids → Life Potion → Origin Elixir

"Interesting." Shi Feng pretended to be calm, but he couldn't fool anyone. He couldn't think properly for about 10 minutes. He had heard about Life Potions before, but he had never heard of Origin Elixir. Judging by how the system improved the fluid, it could be a version many times better than Life Potions, but the Green God Company hasn't even started selling Life Potions. Even S-Rank Fluids were heavily regulated and bȧrėly available to the public. 'How was this possible?...' Shi Feng absentmindedly asked no one in particular, but the system immediately answered.

[Actually Host, it's not possible. My existence isn't possible. Then again, your reincarnation should not have been possible either. The second the Almighty System activated, less of what you encounter will make sense. One does not go from the possible to the real, but from the impossible to the truth.] the system explained.

[It's simple really. Every increase in gravity will divide your attributes proportionate to every level of gravity increased. I'll give you an example. Since you are experiencing 3 times Gravity now, your attributes were first divided by 2, for the transition from 1 time to 2 times gravity. Then they were divided by three, for the transition from 2 times to 3 times gravity.] said the system

"I see..." Shi Feng wanted to try fighting under the effects of this environment, without relying on any of his Attribute Boosts provided by his equipment. Shi Feng unequipped everything, instead outfitted himself in a comfortable black and purple set, and equipped a silver sword with a red outline along the edge. The set and the sword did not offer any boosts, for the sake of maximizing his training effects. With that, he summoned a chieftain doppelganger of the same level, and changed up the environment to a Desert, making his training even more gruesome. Training on the sand was many times more difficult than training in grasslands.

[Doppelganger] (Chieftain-rank)

Level 2

HP 2200/2200

Of course, the doppelganger was unhindered by the gravity and the sand, since it was integrated into the training space itself. The doppelganger only had 1 task: go all out and defeat the Swordsman in front of him.

15 minutes later...

Shi Feng spent about 25 days training in the space while taking some rests in between. Getting out of the pod and stretching for a bit. All in all, as insane as it may sound, 15 minutes in God's Domain equates to roughly 37.5 Days in the Training Space. Overall, only 15 minutes had passed in God's Domain and the real world. On the first day, Shi Feng felt the effects of the new fluid in his gaming pod. It was as if he had seen the world in a new light. Everything seemed clear. For the next few weeks, his brain and body had been undergoing outstanding improvements, and finally, he had defeated his doppelganger. It could be said he was at the Half-Step Refinement Realm. Currently, Shi Feng was no longer affected by the increased gravity and desert sand. Now, under normal gravity, his Attributes were slightly higher than before, despite not gaining any levels.

"I have 15 minutes left before Master Jack finishes with the sword. I'll rest for a bit before taking the Refinement Realm Trial." Shi Feng decided and went out of the game.

{DING!}

{Realms of Refinement: Refinement Realm Trial: Start!}

Like that, 12 more days passed. Shi Feng had not expected the trial to be so in-depth. The trial encompassed the true meaning of the Refinement Realm, integrating every detail. In the first 4 days, Shi Feng couldn't pass the trial, but once he figured it out, it only took him 3 days to fully comprehend the Refinement Realm. For the last 5 days, Shi Feng got accustomed to his new strength and successfully incorporated it into his overall strength.

"No wonder I couldn't even reach the Refinement Realm in my past life. My body control wasn't as refined as it is now. Then there's the Origin Elixir, which I seem to be the only one that uses it. I still need to do quite a bit of research into the next stages of the Realms of Refinement and ways to fully utilize the effects of the Origin Elixir. " Shi Feng was ecstatic at his achievement. A Refinement Realm expert at this stage in the game could be deemed as extremely valuable. With that, Shi Feng left the space and went back to the Smithy, Blackie was there too.

Shi Feng received his sword. Right after inspecting it once more, he noticed that the description had changed. Now, a new sentence read: ...After being remodeled by Master Forger Jack using a Star Crystal, the strength of the Backlash has been greatly reduced…. "Great. With this, the backlash should be even less problematic in the foreseeable future."

After walking out of the smithy, Shi Feng noticed his inbox was filled with messages from Lonely Snow. 'Oops, I forgot about the raid.' Shi Feng immediately responded saying he'd be there in a minute.

"Hey, Blackie, you up for Dungeon-Diving?"

"Sure, I can't wait to try out these new skills"

Next, Shi Feng and Blackie arrived at the Dungeon Area and walked over to Lonely Snow and Dark Prominence. Behind them, he saw the other group of players sending him looks of disapproval and disdain.

"Why are we even going into the dungeon if he's taking all Swordsman and Mage equipment."

"Yeah! This is bullshit! Kick him out quick!" said a Level 0 Oracle in the back. He wasn't even in the party.

The party leader immediately shut everyone up, "Alright people, let's hurry this up. We might get the First Kill if we go in now."

But some people were still adamant. "No! Why should we party up with someone who just wants to take almost all of the equipment away!"

"Boss, either you kick him out or we leave"

"Hmph! Greedy one, aren't ya?!"

The party leader was in a dilemma. Was this kid really an expert?. He already knew the party members so he chose not to take the risk. Besides, this shameless Swordsman who they had never met actually wanted so much out of the Dungeon. "Sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave." said the party leader with no expression.

Shi Feng shrugged, "Fine by me. Blackie, let's go. Lonely, come with me. You don't need these people. Prominence, you can join if you want." he said as he walked away. Lonely Snow did not hesitate and left the party to join Shi Feng's party. Everyone was shocked at Lonely Snow's decisive nature. The party leader almost started raging at Shi Feng's remark but he grit his teeth and kept his composure. After a moment, the Assassin started grinning. With a carefree tone, as he started walking towards Shi Feng, he said: "Geez, you people bȧrėly know anything about the guy yet here you are trashing him. God's Domain is huge; who knows, he might clear this Dungeon before you all".

"No one asked you, punk!" the party leader was on the verge of raging once again, each time more difficult to compose himself.

10 minutes later…

"Brother Feng, these people don't get it, do they?. Being arrogant won't get them anywhere.". This whole time, Blackie had witnessed Shi Feng trying to recruit two more players to form a team of 6. But whoever came over and heard Shi Feng's requirements, immediately resorted to cursing and roasting Shi Feng and his party for asking too much.

Out of nowhere, people started shouting, cheering, and converging around a group of three women. Blackie was already at attention and ready to bolt towards the group when he saw who they were. Among them was the Snow Goddess, Gentle Snow; the Flame Witch, Zhao Yueru; and the Priestess, Xiao Yue'er.

Had this been 10 years ago, Shi Feng would be among the horde of rabid men attempting to curry favor with Gentle Snow, but he was past that. He might consider getting into that kind of thing in the future once he achieves most, if not all, of his goals.

Suddenly, Shi Feng and Gentle Snow locked eyes. For a moment, Gentle Snow felt something akin to a chained ancient dragon bearing down on her, threatening to erase her from existence. Shi Feng looked away and resumed trying to recruit players while being roasted mercilessly in the process. With a raised eyebrow and a slight smirk, 'Hmm, that guy's interesting. I'll have to keep an eye on him.'. Zhao Yueru, of course, noticed this and reprimanded her, with an expression of disgust.

"Of course, I expected a bunch of nobodies would do anything to grab our attention. Let's go, Snow, those people make me sick."

"Uh-huh… Let's start recruiting for the Dungeon."

After Gentle Snow's arrival, it was even worse for Shi Feng's attempts to recruit people. At this point he lowered his standards a little and started checking Level 1 players as well, garnering even fiercer hateful comments and crispy roasts from the nearby crowd.

After checking a few players, a Guardian Knight named Cola, and an Oracle, named Drowsy Sloth requested Shi Feng for an invite. "Big brother, could you invite me to your party?. I might be just a Level 1 Guardian Knight, I have a piece of Level 0 Common Equipment. Also, all 8 of my Attribute Points are still available. I can add them based on your requirements.". Shi Feng, having gone back in time, was momentarily stunned. In his previous life, Cola was known as Tyrant Bear, ranked fifteenth on the Guardian Knight Leaderboard of Star-Moon Kingdom. Of course, as always, Shi Feng was at it once again. He was scheming, devising a way to bring Cola over to his team, to make sure he becomes a part of his future Guild.

Cola and Drowsy Sloth hesitated. But they knew Shi Feng was right. Blackie, seeing the hesitation in their eyes, shook his head a bit and, with the airs of a wise elder, said: "The future has many names. For the weak, it is the unreachable. For the fearful, it is the unknown. For the brave, it is an opportunity. We have absolved ourselves of our fear towards the unknown, and decided to embrace it instead." Shi Feng was slightly stunned once again. He knew Blackie was always a goofy fellow, but it was rare for him to speak in such a tone. But that surprise was immediately extinguished when Blackie slapped him on the back and said: "With this guy, we're destined for greatness. Be it women, money, whatever, it will all be within arm's reach. Take it from me, who's known him for years." Shi Feng might have lost 0.04 HP from that hit.

With that said, Cola and Drowsy Sloth's worries washed away, and decided to join, putting their trust in Shi Feng. Dark Prominence was quite interested in this Swordsman, so he decided to follow along. Now they were ready to dive into the Dungeon, but once they partied up, the hateful comments were flying at them from every direction. Shi Feng hearing this had an evil grin on his face: 'You people better not regret it when I get the First-Clear on this Dungeon. Bunch of ignorant bastards.'

They walked to the entrance of the Dungeon, and Shi Feng immediately chose 'Hell Mode'. After they entered, the crowd went silent, after 3 seconds of silence, the crowd erupted into a cacophony of wheezy laughs, sputtery laughs, and even some snorts.

"Ahahaha!, I can't believe this. He actually chose Hell Mode!"

"I'll bet 25 Coppers they won't last more than 30 seconds!"

"25 Copper?. Quite the generous bastard aren't ya?. Might as well pass that cheese over here. They won't last more than 10 seconds!"

Even the Flame Witch started flaming and criticizing Shi Feng for his choices.

In the Dungeon, Shi Feng and his party received the notification:

System: You have chosen Hell Mode of Deathly Forest. Death penalty increased by 100%.

The environment of a Hell Mode Dungeon exuded a type of pressure that could cause inexperienced players to freeze up, and that's exactly what's happening to everyone now. Except for Shi Feng, nobody was moving. They knew that one wrong move could mean instant death. With a facepalm, Shi Feng decided to talk to the frozen party members: "Come on people, seriously?. Why would I go into Hell Mode if I wasn't confident in clearing it?. Blackie, I thought you said the future is an opportunity for the brave. Don't tell me all of you are thinking of giving up now. Compared to what we'll face in the future, this is nothing."

It seemed to work, as everyone was back to their motivated selves. "We trust you, Brother Expert." said Cola with newfound confidence, earning the approval of everyone in the party.

"Good. Now listen up. I'll be explaining the rules shortly. This is a good chance to get you all some fighting experience. Only through trials and hardships will you grow stronger."

Out of nowhere, a monstrous roar shook the whole dungeon.

"First things first, watch out for that roar, as it's not as simple as you all think. In a moment, we'll start advancing. Make sure to follow my instructions to the T. One mistake, and you're gone. Do I make myself clear?!" the drill sergeant… ahem… Shi Feng lectured in an authoritative tone.

Everyone nodded. "Here's what we'll do; Cola and I at the front. Cola, add your Attribute points to Endurance. Lonely Snow, walk in the middle and support Drowsy Sloth. Blackie and Prominence, at the back. Remember, you must not break formation regardless of any activities. And for fuċk's sake, do not attack unless I say so."

"Oh, before we go, I have a few goodies for you all." He started taking out items and handing them out in accordance with the classes each party member had. Dark Prominence received the [Vicarious Haze] and [Silent Steps] Skills.

[Vicarious Haze]

Active Skill

Requirement: Assassin Class

Surround yourself in a layer of gray smoke. Increases Agility by 35%, and grants 45% chance to nullify attacks.

Cooldown: 1 Minute

Drowsy Sloth received the Cloth Armor, Cola received the Recruit's Heavy Armor and the [Mock] Skill, and Lonely Snow received the Gray Giant Axe. To give out such items, instead of hogging them and selling them for his own benefit, was extremely rare. Anyone would rather choose money than them. But this just proved that Shi Feng thinks long-term, as an expert should.

Everyone followed Shi Feng through the correct pathway through the forest. Then they encountered their first monster.

[Night Rabbit](Elite)

Level 2

HP 700/700

"Cola, lure"

Cola immediately dashed over and caught the aggro of the Night Rabbit. He retreated while blocking, and after a while, was at 40% HP. When the Night Rabbit was within range, Shi Feng noticed an arrow zoom by and hit Drowsy Sloth. Instantly, Shi Feng shouted, "Sloth, Life Payment on Cola. Blackie, keep the Night Rabbit busy while Cola recovers. Everyone else Attack!!". Prominence activated both the new skills he received from Shi Feng and turned into a blur, shocking even Shi Feng. 'Who exactly is this Assassin?. I've never heard of him but he might be a potential future powerhouse.' He looked at the dark figure preparing to run away. With a malicious grin, "Where do you think you're going?".

Wind Blade!

Gravity Influence!

Shi Feng disappeared from his spot and sprinted towards the dark figure. He focused his sword intent on the Night Ranger, promptly weakening it in every aspect. Shi Feng and Dark Prominence arrived at the Night Ranger's side almost at the same time.

[Night Ranger](Special Elite)

Level 2

HP 1275/1275

"Abhorrent Humans!!! I'll slaughter you all!" The Night Ranger, with anger, took out two daggers and prepared to fight these two humans. But what it did not expect was…

Abyssal Bind!

Nothing could save it now. He got hit with a [Backstab], -81 appearing over it's head. Shi Feng, through a torrent of slashes and stabs, sliced up the Night Ranger and picked up the items it dropped. As a Refinement Realm expert, Shi Feng had already figured out how to further utilize his body to a higher degree. While this could be a great opportunity for Dark Prominence to get used to fighting monsters of higher intelligence, it proved to be a bit useless for Shi Feng.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had a thought. Why was he still fighting such low-level monsters?. 'Should I start going around raiding higher level Dungeons by myself when they open?. Maybe even killing higher-leveled monsters?. With the advantages provided by the System, I can advance many times faster than everyone else. I could start giving them S-Rank nutrients and let them train in my training space, allowing them to reach their potential that much faster; but that would mean I have to divulge multiple of my secrets to people I just met. Hmm… decisions, decisions… I might go grinding at a better location and reach the City before anyone... I'll think of that later; let's finish up here.'

Those that were running to Shi Feng for support, once more terrified and in awe of Shi Feng's combat standards. After that, everyone turned back to the Night Rabbit; this time, Shi Feng decided to let his party members gain fighting experience. They knew he could slaughter the monster any time he wanted, but they also knew this was for their own good. Instead of fighting, Shi Feng taught everyone the correct methods to fight. Teaching the MT to dodge, instead of always blocking; teaching everyone to aim their attacks properly, instead of randomly, so on so forth.

With time, the positive changes were apparent; not only in the techniques and fighting styles but also in their opinion towards Shi Feng. They thought nothing of this expert at first and thought he was arrogant. Yet he had been unrestrained in sharing his knowledge with them in the hopes of helping them improve. After distributing the items and the skill book, [Whirlwind Slash] for Lonely Snow, the party's strength increased by a considerable amount.

The party continued on and occasionally encountered a few Night Rabbits. Coincidentally, one of the Night Rabbits dropped another skill book: [Restore] for Drowsy Sloth. They continued on, obtaining more and more pieces of Bronze Equipment, increasing their strength even more…

After a few moments, they arrived at the Boss Area, and there he was...

[Willie](Chieftain-Rank)

Level 3

HP 6000

Nearby, there was a group of 10 Night Rabbits, grouped up together. Seeing this, everyone tensed up. Blackie, with a helpless smile, said: "Brother Feng, how exactly are we supposed to fight against that?. We can't separate them; either we leave them alone or we face them all at once. It would be the same as meeting Death with a smile on our faces".

"I'll take care of this. Wait here. I'll be guiding you all through the Boss Battle.". While everyone was looking at Shi Feng like he was crazy, he activated Wind Blade and Gravity Influence and disappeared from his spot. He reappeared near the group of Night Rabbits and did something that should be impossible at this stage in the game. His sword started glowing with a light blue hue, and they heard a faint hum.

Sundering Barrage!

A multitude of sword lights started flying at the cluster of Night Rabbits, giving them no chance to retaliate. They all disintegrated, and he picked up everything they dropped with lightning speed and returned to the group. Shi Feng received 200 EXP since it got distributed to everyone in the party, but no one was worried about that. They were looking at this scene with eyes brimming with excitement. Willie, on the other hand, finally noticed what happened and started feeling traces of Fear, not through an effect, but through instinct. He felt that this human wasn't really human at all, but a monster in disguise.

Shamelessly, as if nothing happened, Shi Feng gave out items to everyone, catering to their classes, as well as the party's Strength. He also got a skill [Double Chop], he refined it and learned it immediately. But suddenly, a sound only he could hear, went off in his head. This notification almost

{DING!}

{New Skill Detected: Skill Fusion!}

{Skill Fusion will scan Skills and determine the possibility for Fusion with the goal of creating an even stronger skill.}

{Would you like to fuse [Chop] and [Double Chop]?}
