Su Xiao loosely clasped his hands around the Ring of Endless, meditating. The black ring floated between his hands on its own, radiating wisps of darkness while also giving off intense life fluctuations.
Su Xiao was determining whether the Ring of Endless concealed any other dangers. Whether it was Sovereign Equipment or Abyss Equipment, both could be freely certified. So-called free certification meant that some secrets had to be explored on one's own.
Of course, free certification also had its advantages. If one obtained an uncertified item and chose to freely certify it, the Space-Time Power required would only be 30% to 40% of the cost of full certification—less than half.
For that reason, the selling prices of fully certified and freely certified items in the Great Gathering Place differed by nearly twice as much. The advantage of full certification was that one could completely trust the item's attribute data. To date, no one had discovered any deviation in the attributes of a fully certified item.
The Ring of Endless he had obtained was freely certified. This meant that its attribute data could be trusted, but he had to be cautious of the item's uncertified traits.
There was one thing Su Xiao could not figure out: where had the equipment's name, the Ring of Endless, come from? Was it because it could devour large numbers of equipment? Its rating had now reached 6,000 points, yet its equipment-devouring ability had disappeared. Clearly, the name did not represent that aspect.
The only thing that remained unfathomable was the equipment's debuff, "Dark Envelopment."
"Equipment Debuff: Dark Envelopment (Passive): While carrying this equipment, you will gradually be eroded by the darkness of the Abyss. (Because your Abyss Resistance is 20 points, you may be immune to "Dark Envelopment" for a certain period of time.
