When Remnant Snow commanded his team to give way, both the spectating experts and Heavenâs Bladeâs members were stupefied.
What was going on? Had Remnant Snow hit his head at some point?
Even War Bloodâs members gaped at Remnant Snow. They even wondered if this were some imposter. Why else would he show respect to Zero Wingâs Guild Leader?
War Blood had an irreconcilable feud with Zero Wing, and the two organizations frequently clashed in the Gravity Mountain Range.
Although Zero Wingâs Guild Leader was a Tier 3 player, Remnant Snow was a Tier 3 Berserker King. He shouldnât have any reason to treat Shi Feng respectfully.
Not a single player watching the scene could understand why Remnant Snow behaved as he did.
âAre you deaf?! Why arenât you moving?!â Remnant Snow snarled as his team members stared at him.
Seeing his rage, War Bloodâs members followed their orders and opened a path for Cleansing Flameâs team, regardless of how confused they were.
When the watching experts saw this, they were utterly flabbergasted.
At first, they had wondered if they had misheard Remnant Snow, but after watching War Bloodâs members move aside and let Cleansing Flameâs team pass, they had to accept the odd situation as fact.
âIâll thank you in their place then, Team Leader Remnant. I still have other matters to deal with, so Iâll be heading out,â Shi Feng said. Remnant Snowâs behavior had surprised him, too, but since the man had taken a step back, itâd be in poor taste if Shi Feng escalated the situation. Thus, he decided to continue on his way into the Molten Canyon after a polite response.
Remnant Snow couldnât help but breathe a deep sigh of relief as he watched Shi Fengâs group walk off.
Others might not realize how powerful Shi Feng was, but he had experienced the Swordsmanâs astonishing might for himself.
Shi Feng had caused a huge scene on Tranquil Mine Island even before he had reached Tier 3. He had then slain Blood Oath, who had been protected by several of his bodyguards and one of the adventurer teamâs vice commanders, within the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilionâs Residence. And yet, Shi Feng had still slain Blood Oath. The Swordsman was inhumanly strong.
Now that Shi Feng had reached Tier 3, he had undoubtedly become even more terrifying.
Remnant Snow had no wish to provoke such a monster. Even among Tier 3 players, there were still differences. Reaching Tier 3 did not grant invincibility.
âAre we really letting them go, leader? The higher-ups have made it clear that we are under no circumstances allowed to let Cleansing Flameâs team leave the Molten Canyon,â the Tier 2 Ranger whispered to his team leader. âEven if Black Flame is Tier 3, there are plenty of us here, and we have a battle array. Do we really have to fear Black Flame?â
Tier 3 players were powerful, but that did not mean that Tier 2 players had no way to retaliate.
Even if they couldnât defeat a Tier 3 expert, they could put up a good fight with their 100-man, large-scale battle array. If Remnant Snow joined the fray, it wouldnât be impossible to defeat Shi Feng.
Yet, Remnant Snow had ordered them to allow Cleansing Flameâs team to leave without a fight. War Bloodâs upper echelons definitely wouldnât tolerate this insubordination.
âThat is true. I am confident that I could hold my ground against Black Flame with the help of a battle array, but do you truly believe that heâs only a Tier 3 player?â Remnant Snow said as he rolled his eyes at his vice team leader. âDidnât you see the three players behind him?â
âEven if they are all Tier 3 players, we can buy enough time for our other Tier 3 experts and Starlinkâs Tier 3 experts to arrive. Winning that battle isnât necessarily impossible,â the Ranger insisted.
Although Tier 3 players were still rare at this stage, War Blood and Starlink had a few. Surrendering without a fight would tarnish War Bloodâs reputation.
âSo what if they make it here?â Remnant Snow shot back, chuckling. âYouâre aware that I learned a special Skill after I completed my Tier 3 promotion, right? With this Skill, I can see through Black Cloaksâ concealment effects. Do you know what those playersâ levels and equipment standards are?â
âHow strong could they possibly be? Are they Level 105 players in Level 100 Dark-Gold Set Equipment?â the Tier 2 Ranger offhandedly mocked the notion. He knew about Remnant Snowâs Identification Skill. That Skill was the reason War Blood had ordered the Berserker King to guard the Molten Canyonâs exit in the first place. With him running the show, Heavenâs Bladeâs members wouldnât be able to sneak out of the Molten Canyon with Black Cloaks.
At this point, Tier 3 expertsâ equipment standards werenât much higher than Tier 2 playersâ. Most Tier 3 experts were still wearing Level 100 Epic Equipment. A player would only have a distinct advantage if they equipped Level 100 Dark- Gold Set Equipment, but obtaining that kind of equipment was nigh-impossible for current players.
More experts were reaching Tier 3, but not a single power had enough Tier 3 players to raid Level 100 Team Dungeons, and because of that, obtaining Level 100-plus top-tier equipment was still extremely difficult. Players could grind Level 100-plus Grand Lords, but the best equipment those Field Bosses would drop would be Fine-Gold rank.
âBingo,â Remnant Snow said, chuckling. âNot only have they reached Level 105, but theyâre even wearing Dark-Gold Set Equipment.â
âLevel 105? Level 100 Dark-Gold Set Equipment? How is that possible?!â the Tier 2 Ranger exclaimed, astonished.
âLevel 100 Dark-Gold Set Equipment?â Shaking his head, Remnant Snow revealed an envious expression as he said, Theyâre not wearing Level 100 Dark-Gold Set Equipment; theyâre wearing Level 105 Dark-Gold Set Equipment!â
âImpossible! How can they have possibly acquired such items?!â Stupefied, the Ranger refused to believe his leaderâs claim.
Obtaining Level 100 Dark-Gold Set Equipment was an unbelievable feat at the moment, and obtaining Level 105 Dark- Gold Set Equipment was an utter joke.
Yet, that was what Remnant Snow had seen after using his special Identification Skill, so it must be absolute truth. Furthermore, the Ranger had no reason to doubt his leader. Remnant Snow was fighting to become a vice
commander. He wouldnât benefit in the least from I
Flameâs team
go.
As Remnant Snow had said, even if War Blood and Starlink sent Tier 3 experts as reinforcements, theyâd be nothing but a joke against those four Zero Wing members.
âWhy else would I have let Cleansing Flameâs team leave without a fuss?â Remnant Snow asked, rolling his eyes. As he stared at Shi Fengâs departing figure, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
There was one bit of information he hadnât revealed: the fact that he hadnât gleaned the slightest detail regarding Shi Feng. When he had stood before the Swordsman, it had felt as if he were trying to stare down a Tyrannosaurus-rex.
Honestly, the Tier 2 Ranger silently celebrated his leaderâs wisdom. Had they started a fight with those players, they all wouldâve died.
As Shi Fengâs group passed, delving deeper into the Molten Canyon unhindered, the various experts in the area gaped in shock.
âLeader, is Zero Wingâs Black Flame really that powerful of a player? Remnant Snow actually stepped aside out of respect for him,â the Level 101 female Cleric beside Cleansing Flame asked, confused and stunned.
Even the various superpowers feared Tier 3 players, yet Remnant Snow had conceded after a few words from Shi Feng.
It was utterly unbelievable!
âI donât know exactly how powerful Guild Leader Black Flame is, but I know that this is an opportunity for us,â Cleansing Flame said, excitement flashing in her eyes after seeing Remnant Snowâs extraordinarily respectful display before Shi Feng. She immediately tried to catch up with the small Zero Wing group.
None of Heavenâs Bladeâs members knew what she was up to.
âGuild Leader Black Flame, I am Cleansing Flame, one of Heavenâs Bladeâs team leaders. Thank you for saving us. If you hadnât come along, we wouldâve died here,â Cleansing Flame sincerely thanked Shi Feng.
âIt was just a small effort on my part. Thereâs no need to be so polite, Team Leader Flame,â Shi Feng said.

Shi Feng hadnât intended to save Cleansing Flameâs team. He had just wanted to spoil War Bloodâs fun. He had hoped that Remnant Snow would attack him, and he could use the chance to wipe out some of War Bloodâs members. He certainly hadnât expected the Berserker King to concede. It had left him with no choice but to abandon his original plan.
âGuild Leader Black Flame, may I request your help in saving our trapped commander? If youâre willing to save our commander and her team, Heavenâs Blade will offer this item as compensation,â Cleansing Flame said as she revealed an ancient, withered tree branch.
The branch didnât look like anything special, but it radiated a timeless aura. Moreover, it contained a powerful life force.
âThe Tree of Life!â
When he saw that special tree branch, Shi Feng couldnât help his shock.
