Chapter 1671 - City Rookie
"He won?"
"Our Guild Leader is amazing!"
As the Zero Wing team watched the Shadows of Trial in the magic array gradually fade, they couldn't believe their eyes.
The battle that had just occurred had overwhelmed them mentally. If they had been distracted for a split second, they would've missed the instant Shi Feng and the Shadows had clashed. Both sides' Basic Attributes were ridiculously high, and they could clash multiple times in the instant it took to blink.
The several dozen White Tiger Dojo disciples that had joined the team on the fifth floor were utterly dumbfounded.
They had witnessed many expert battles in the past and had even fought experts in the Battle Arena, but if they had to rank the experts they've seen thus far, the player before them would doubtlessly rank at the very top.
It's finally over. Shi Feng breathed a deep sigh of relief once the battle had ended.
He hadn't expected the Asura ranked test to be so difficult. If not for the epiphany regarding the Realms of Truth, which had allowed him greater use of his own body and everything around him, including his opponents, the Shadows of Trial would have defeated him.
However, this experience had taught Shi Feng one thing.
Aside from improving in the Realms of Refinement, which focused on one's senses and physical control, it was very important that players climb the Realms of Truth.
The Realms of Refinement were akin to the body. As one became physically stronger, they'd be able to exert more strength. However, the Realms of Truth were like a weapon. Although an individual could rely on physical strength to pose a threat, there was a limit to how much of a threat they'd become, but if that person were given a weapon to complement their strength, they could pose an even greater threat. Naturally, the better the weapon one wielded, the more power they could exhibit.
This also why experts who had yet to reach the Refinement Realm were sometimes capable of defeating Refinement Realm experts with their combat techniques. Combat techniques made use of the Realms of Truth's principles.
It seems that we'll need to increase everyone's familiarity with the Realms of Truth in the future, Shi Feng thought to himself.
There was a limit to how fast one could reach higher Realms of Refinement, and reaching higher Realms of Truth wouldn't conflict with a player's growth in the Realms of Refinement. In fact, the two realms would even complement each other, helping one improve their combat power far faster.
Only, introducing everyone to the Realms of Truth wouldn't be easy. First, he needed a proper training ground. It was obvious that neither the Battle Arena nor the Divine Colosseum could offer similar benefits as Rhinebeck's test.
Without such a training ground, players wouldn't be able to comprehend the Realms of Truth's principles regardless of how many times he explained them. Moreover, understanding theory and putting said theory into practice were two different things.
Wait, that's not right. There is one.
Suddenly, Shi Feng recalled the white tower within the Lost Town.
While the white tower seemed like a device designed to help players improve their combat standards and gain a better feel for the Refinement Realm, it actually operated very much like Rhinebeck's test. Hence, Shi Feng should be able to use the tower to help his players comprehend the Realms of Truth. Furthermore, God's Domain's lore never mentioned the Realms of Refinement, only the Realms of Truth.
The more Shi Feng thought about it, the more he felt that the white tower was a suitable training device to help players grasp the Realms of Truth.
