Upon entering the Diablo World, Sun Fei's first stop was still [ Rogue Encampment ], where he found the beautiful mercenary Elena. As with every meeting he had recently had, after a brief moment of tenderness, he inquired about the current situation in Chambord City.
Because Sun Fei had set up a miniature Summon magic circle in the [ City of Heroes ] of the Underground Grotto Labyrinth City behind Chambord City, allowing the people in the [ Rogue Encampment ] to descend to Chambord City for four hours each day to guide and participate in Chambord City construction, and because of Elena and others' daily reports, Sun Fei, although not physically present in Chambord City, was fully aware of everything that was happening there. Hearing that Chambord City was developing smoothly without him and that the city's construction was proceeding exactly as he had envisioned before leaving, Sun Fei felt gratified and gained a bit more confidence.
"Judging by the time, Uncle Lampard and his men have been away from Chambord City for some time now. If they travel at a fast pace, they should be able to reach the Twenty Mile Camp by tomorrow. In that case, the Chambord Expeditionary Army members participating in this Martial Combat Competition will be basically all present."
Sun Fei roughly calculated that the timing was just right.
" Elena, starting tomorrow, you no longer need to train soldiers in Chambord City. Come with me to the Twenty Mile Camp. The upcoming Martial Combat Competition is about to begin, and I hope you can represent Chambord City as one of its top fighters. This competition is an excellent opportunity to hone and improve your skills; perhaps you'll gain a deeper understanding of this world!"
"Oh? Really? That's wonderful, Alexander." Elena was overjoyed to hear Sun Fei's arrangement.
These days have been a bit of a struggle for Elena.
Although she could meet Sun Fei in the Diablo world almost every night, Sun Fei could only stay in the Diablo World for four hours. Every second of those four hours was precious to Sun Fei. He had to seize every second to kill monsters and level up to improve his strength in order to cope with the upcoming chaos. Therefore, he didn't have much time to spend with the beautiful mercenary. When the two met, it was only a fleeting glance.
The relationship between the beautiful mercenary and Sun Fei has been developing rapidly ever since they broke the ice on the back mountain of Chambord. Like a couple deeply in love, they wish they could be by each other's side every single second. Now that she can finally stand by Sun Fei's side in the World of Light, it is a very sweet thing for Elena.
"Oh, by the way, I have some small gifts here that I'd like to give you as well."
During the day, Sun Fei bought many small items at the camp's night market and gave some to Angela and Jima. Naturally, he wouldn't forget Elena, the Valkyrie who had fought alongside him through thick and thin in the Diablo World. As he spoke, Sun Fei took out some exquisite food and trinkets from his storage ring. The female mercenary's face lit up with surprise and delight, and her eyes even welled up with tears. She held the gifts Sun Fei had given her in her hands, admiring them closely.
"Thank you, Alexander." Elena's flawless face was filled with happiness.
This Valkyrie- like woman, who showed Magic City, carefully kept the worthless trinkets Sun Fei had given her. Then, she offered her red lips and gently pecked Sun Fei on the cheek, sending a jolt of electricity through His Majesty the King's heart.
Elena and Angela's expressions upon receiving their gifts were so identical that Sun Fei Sun Fei a pang of shame. Since arriving in the Azeroth Continent, these two girls, with their vastly different personalities and backgrounds, had become the two most important women in his life. Thinking of their expressions of surprise and satisfaction upon receiving the gifts, Sun Fei suddenly realized that for so long he had been focused on becoming stronger and making Chambord City a better place, but he had neglected to care for these two girls who loved him so deeply.
Having arranged things at [ Rogue Encampment ], Elena returned to Chambord City one last time via Summon magic circle, relaying Sun Fei's orders to the military and political giants, Brook and Best. Sun Fei, meanwhile, chose to travel to Canyon of the Magi —the location of the final quest in Act II's world map [ Lut Gholein ]—in [ Barbarian Mode ] to adjust his combat readiness.
At this moment, the Barbarian character is just a little short of level 40 in experience points. He is wearing the best level 6 [magic equipment] available from NPCs in the Diablo World, and his weapon is a level 7 [green set]. His combat power is considerable. In addition, Sun Fei has developed his own flexible use of Barbarian brute force, as well as those incredible Barbarian skills. His overall combat power has firmly reached the Six-Star Class Mid Stage. The only thing he lacks is the flexible application of these powers and techniques.
Moreover, there has always been one thing that has been troubling Sun Fei: while the Barbarian are strong, they lack explosive power. When they encounter weak opponents, they can easily sweep them away, but when they encounter stronger opponents, they cannot unleash their potential like experts in the real world. Their strength always remains at the same level, lacking fluctuation and unable to challenge opponents of higher levels. This is an aspect that Sun Fei must improve.
Therefore, Sun Fei did not enter the third large map to forcibly level up. Instead, he went to the [ Canyon of the Magi ], which he had already cleared out, to hone his skills and adjust his combat state by using the high-level monsters there.
Whoosh whoosh!
The sharp sound of swords echoed throughout the Canyon of the Magi.
Bang bang bang!
A massive, crystal-clear fist imprint, carrying the effect of the Barbarian's skill [ Gravity Strike ], smashed through the sky above Canyon of the Magi!
One by one, the demonic monsters fell, howling in agony.
The corpses of the beetle-like [ Dung Soldier ] and [ Steel Scarab ] exploded with electric currents, creating an apocalyptic scene. The [ Crusher ], a gorilla-like creature resembling a small mountain, bled profusely, and wails and screams filled the Canyon of the Magi. It was a one-sided massacre.
Sun Fei is constantly fighting.
Quickly and purposefully switch between each skill.
In this way, he attempted to add the special effects of Barbarian skills to some of his innovative [ Heavenly Frost Fist ] techniques after he had softened the terrifying power of the Barbarian.
The level 39 Barbarian currently possesses a wide range of active attack skills, including various skills from the three major skill trees: Combat Expert, Shout, and Combat Skills.
Among them, the 'Combat Skills' skill includes the [ Double Swing ] skill, which allows you to use two weapons to attack two targets simultaneously or deal damage to the same target twice at the same time; the [ Gravity Strike ] skill, which can unleash more than three times your usual attack power upon activation; the [ Stun ] skill, which can stun the opponent for a short period of time upon engagement; and the [ Concentrate ] skill, which prevents your moves from being interrupted by the opponent and enhances the accuracy and damage of your attacks. As for the [ Leap ] skill, Sun Fei uses it as a form of light footwork, so there is no need to modify it.
In the 'Combat Expert' skill tree, in addition to the previously improved [ Sword Mastery ], [ Axe Mastery ], and [ Polearm Mastery ], Sun Fei also unlocked and added points to the [ Iron Shirt ] skill, which passively increases the Barbarian's physical defense, and the [Acceleration] skill, which passively increases the Barbarian's Teleport speed. These skills have an amazing effect on improving the Barbarian's combat ability.
Finally, among the 'Shout' skills, Sun Fei focused on activating and improving [ Howl ], [ Find Potion ], [ Battle Cry ], [ Taunt ], and [ Shout ]. Each skill has unexpected effects, and if they can be combined into the moves of the Heavenly Frost Fist, the combat power of the Heavenly Frost Fist can be multiplied.
For four hours straight, Sun Fei remained seated in this position, attempting to maintain this posture.
This was a method he couldn't have imagined in his previous life's computer game memories, and his progress was quite rapid. During this period, Sun Fei fought against masters such as the Golden Knight, the top expert in Hot Springs Pass, Diles, and the mysterious Six-Star Class assassin, accumulating a lot of experience. He was at a critical point, and after slowly figuring it out, he broke through that shackle and gradually mastered the path of perfect integration of skills and power.
A brand new path to becoming a powerful figure is slowly unfolding for Sun Fei.
"Bite--!"
A crisp, delicate sound suddenly rang in his ears, instantly clearing Sun Fei's mind from his state of enlightenment. A milky-white ball of light descended from the sky, enveloping him, whose body was already covered in wounds. A comfortable feeling washed over him, and all his wounds and fatigue disappeared as quickly as the tide receded.
Surprisingly, the Barbarian role has been upgraded again at this crucial juncture.
Four hours of slaughter finally made up for the slight lack of experience points. The Barbarian character leveled up from the peak of level 39 to level 40, and gained a sum of attribute points and a skill point. This made Sun Fei overjoyed, and he felt more confident about the duel between Bai Ri and the Seventh Judgment Knight.
The next day.
After the snow, the sky was high and clear, and everything was covered in white.
Twenty miles away in the state-owned district, the majestic Moro Mountains rise in the distance, while the magnificent imperial capital and towering mage towers stand nearby. Martial Saint Mountain lies behind the palace. Everything in the world is draped in a vast, ethereal silver veil, dreamlike and breathtakingly beautiful.
It is located in the very center of the 20-mile-long state-owned district.
Near the largest, towering, hundred-meter-high, arena-like Number One Sword-Testing Platform.
As dawn broke, large crowds began to flock to the testing ground, completely surrounding it. Here, the rising star King of Chambord Alexander, and the veteran top expert of the Empire Seventh Judgment Knight, the Bloody Knight Krud Number One Sword-Testing Platform, would settle their score at noon on this testing ground.
Rumor has it that these two experts are both super strong individuals who have crossed the Six-Star Class threshold. Such a duel between powerful individuals has not occurred in the Zenit Empire for many years, making it an absolutely earth-shattering and extraordinary event.
