Chapter 45: 8th Gate
His vision cleared and when Xie Feng opened his eyes, his surroundings had became a whole new world.
The Beginner Village, it was the starting point of every new player. When he left the Beginner Village he was level 13. Right now, there were countless players that have already left the Beginner Village to receive their job advancement, but he was the only one to have passed the Mode Despair trial and to reach level 13.
According to an estimate by Xie Feng, at this point he should be at least two levels ahead of the second player with the highest level in the entire game. This advantage, even if Xie Feng didn't level up, would probably last for about 4 to 5 days. That's how scary the amount of experience was that was needed to get to the next level.
Although Xie Feng was 99% sure that at this point he was the player with the highest level, he can't check it out completely as the level ranking will open when a certain amount of players leave the Beginner's Village and arrive in Eminentis City.
He appeared in a large plaza, but although it was big, it was not very spacious, there were already many players crowding around, often there would be flashes of white light that signified new players arriving from the Beginner Village.
In the back of Xie Feng there was a huge blue crystal. This huge crystal was the resurrection point.
When players are killed by monsters, another player or an NPC, they are automatically sent to the pre-programmed resurrection point by the player.
That is, if a player sets his resurrection point in Eminentis City but is on the other side of the map and is killed for some reason, the player will be automatically sent to Eminentis City.
This can be considered a great disadvantage when doing missions since at first players must explore the map slowly on their own and if they are killed, most of the process and all the time invested will be wasted.
Xie Feng put the 15 basic status points he had available to Intelligence (INT). He then took out the green scroll Wind Steps and tore it up.
With a green flash, the scroll exploded into particles of light and entered his body.
Even without having equipped anything different due to the difference in level of the equipment acquired, Xie Feng reopened his status window.

The equipment that Xie Feng wore was exactly the same as the one he had when he first entered the Shrine of the Fallen Angel.
Yet, although his equipment did not change at all, his status window changed almost completely. These are the advantages of the Creator of Myth title and the rewards for passing the test in the hardest mode.
Even without changing his equipment, Xie Feng became much stronger than he was a day ago.
With a satisfied smile on his face, he began to walk toward his destination.
***
After walking for 20 minutes following the directions on the map, Xie Feng arrived in front of a large shrine.
The shrine was so high that he could not see the height of the ceiling unless he walked away from it. The two huge doors were wide open and a lot of players were running in, as if they were afraid of missing a half-price sale fair.
With a mocking smile, Xie Feng put on the mask he had bought a few days ago in the Beginner's Village. He bought this mask because what would happen next would attract unwanted attention.
Marking a great contrast with the rest of the players, Xie Feng slowly entered the sanctuary.
The interior of the sanctuary was incredibly simple compared to its magnificent exterior appearance. There were only 8 rooms, but one of the 8 doors, the one at the end, was completely closed unlike the others.
Xie Feng walked into the first room and entered. Inside the room there was a huge pillar that seemed to reach the sky and had the symbol of a warrior carved into it. This room and this pillar would only be chosen by those players who wish to become sword or spear warriors.
Surrounding the pillar there were a lot of players and for every second that passed, a new warrior was born.
Xie Feng advanced towards the pillar and touched it lightly with his right hand.
Swoosh!
A light shot out of the pillar and into his body, however, less than a second later, the light came out of his body as if frightened by something and exploded into pieces.
Seeing this, many players looked at him and expressed their confusion. Some of them even began to mutter to each other.
Xie Feng did not seem surprised, he left the warrior room and went to the next room, the pillar of priests.
But the result did not surprise Xie Feng either. When the light entered his body, it quickly receded and exploded, as did the pillar of warriors.
Pillar of Warrior.
Pillar of Priest.
Pillar of Wizard.
Pillar of Guardian of Shields.
Pillar of Assassin.
Pillar of Archer.
Pillar of Summoner.
All obtained the same result: failure.
Xie Feng came out of the seventh room, now with a large number of players following him, creating a huge crowd.
He looked to his right and saw that the eighth room that was closed had now opened by itself.
Without saying a word, Xie Feng walked indifferently into the room.
Seeing this, many players looked at each other and followed him in a hurry. But when they tried to pass through the door, an invisible energy barrier sent them flying several meters away.
Only after 20 people were sent to fly, the rest of the players understood that they were not allowed to enter that room so they could only look at each other in dismay. Some of them left the room, but most of them waited for Xie Feng to come out.
