Endless Life Set

[Equipment: Swift Wind Leggings.]

[Grade: Purple.]

[Equip Effect: Agility +20.]

[Level Requirement: Level 12 or higher.]

[Class Restriction: None.]

[Attack Effect: When hit, there is a 5% chance to enter the "Swift as Wind" state, increasing movement speed by 20% for 10 seconds.]

The set effect for these three pieces of equipment is [Endless Life].

① Two-piece set effect: Within 3 seconds of entering combat, the wearer is granted the "Vibrant Life" buff, restoring 1% of maximum HP and maximum mana per second. This buff disappears when combat ends.

② Three-piece set effect: 30% of the damage the wearer deals to enemies is stored. When the wearer's HP drops to 30%, this stored energy transforms into a shield equal to the damage dealt to block incoming attacks. This shield value decays over five seconds.

"If this set were put up for sale, plenty of people would go crazy trying to buy it!" Ling Zhan remarked.

In this world, ninety percent of students were ordinary.

Take Ling Zhan's impoverished family situation, for example; he couldn't even afford blue-grade starter gear, let alone purple-grade.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed into the college entrance exam secret realm without wearing any armor at all.

The white-grade armor issued by the school had already worn out during daily assessments.

To get a new set of white-grade armor, one had to pay—not much, just a thousand credits.

But for Ling Zhan, he simply couldn't afford it.

Actually, if Ling Zhan had lowered his head and explained the situation to his homeroom teacher, given Old Qi's personality, he would have bought the white-grade armor for Ling Zhan without a second thought.

But Ling Zhan didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

It wasn't that he was being pretentious; he just didn't want to be indebted to others.

Money is easy to repay, but favors are hard to return!

Now that he had opened this purple-grade starter set with its set effects, if he sold it, he had no idea what astronomical price it might fetch.

Next, he looked at the red-grade item, the [Substitute Scarecrow].

This was a passive item.

If Ling Zhan were ever in a desperate situation and about to be killed by an enemy, this item would trigger, putting him into a "Invincible Feigned Death" state.

Ten seconds later, it would teleport him a thousand miles away to ensure his safety.

This was a one-time-use item; it would disappear after triggering once.

Then, he looked at the S-rank trial talent, "Undying Body."

[Undying Body (S)]

[Type: Passive Trial Talent.]

[Description: Rapidly repairs the injuries you sustain.]

The description for this trial talent was very brief.

However, Ling Zhan knew that since it was an S-rank trial talent, its healing power must be extremely potent.

It should be even more powerful than the healing skills cast by ordinary healer classes.

No...

It was definitely more powerful than the recovery skills of ordinary healers.

Ling Zhan really wanted to verify just how strong this S-rank trial talent's healing power was.

But after a moment of thought, he gave up.

After all, he couldn't exactly chop off his own arm just to test the effect of this talent.

That wouldn't be brave; that would be brain-dead.

"Next, it's time to open the Legendary Treasure Chest!"

Ling Zhan's eyes grew increasingly excited.

His face was filled with ecstasy.

The Undying Body, the Endless Life set, the Substitute Scarecrow—these were already enough to surprise him.

So, what would this Legendary Treasure Chest yield?

[Does the host wish to open the Legendary Treasure Chest?]

"Yes!" Ling Zhan said in a deep voice.

Ding!

[Legendary Treasure Chest opened. Congratulations to the host for triggering a double reward!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the god-level skill "Sun Flare (S-)"!]

[Congratulations on obtaining a Talent Upgrade Orb! Automatically used, upgrading all personal innate talents to B+!]

[Sun Flare (S-): Enter the "Flame God" state. All attacks will be imbued with black flames. The black flames burn the enemy, dealing massive damage while inflicting the "Death Sentence" state.]

[Note: While in the "Death Sentence" state, all healing and buff effects are ineffective, and the "Death Sentence" state cannot be dispelled.]

"This skill is way too OP!"

Looking at the skill description, Ling Zhan's eyes were filled with wild joy.

Dealing massive damage to enemies was one thing.

The key was the "Death Sentence" state.

As everyone knew, some monsters possessed extremely powerful recovery skills.

For instance, the boss monster Ling Zhan faced in the college entrance exam secret realm—if it were allowed to cast its skill, it could potentially clear all debuffs while restoring all its HP.

At the time, Ling Zhan had activated [Blood Sacrifice]; if he hadn't finished the monster off within those few dozen seconds, he would have been the one finished.

If he had possessed this skill back then, he wouldn't have needed to keep his nerves so tightly wound.

Moreover, the "Death Sentence" state could not be dispelled.

This meant that even when facing human opponents, especially teams with priest classes, he wouldn't have to worry.

This would become Ling Zhan's trump card.

And then there was the "Talent Upgrade Orb"!

This was also top-tier loot!!

One had to know that innate talents were bestowed by the heavens, filled with randomness, and unchangeable.

Yet, the orb from the system had forcibly upgraded his innate talents by several levels!

Ling Zhan immediately checked the detailed descriptions of his innate talents.

[Equipment Controller (B+)]

[Type: Passive Talent.]

[Description: Allows you to be proficient with any weapon (of any grade) below Level 30 for any class. Your equipment switching speed is 0.3 seconds.]

[Mana Controller (B+)]

[Type: Passive Talent.]

[Description: Increases your base mana recovery speed by 50%, increases your maximum mana by 50%, and reduces your skill cooldowns by 30%.]

[Omnipotent (B+)]

[Type: Passive Talent.]

[Description: All your class skill levels are increased by three tiers, up to a maximum of C.]

[Equipment Controller] allowed him to easily master weapon proficiencies for all classes! And without grade restrictions! Only level restrictions!

[Mana Controller] allowed him to become a magical machine gun.

[Omnipotent] allowed the power of each of his class skills to increase significantly.

Overall, the system's rewards perfectly met the needs of the path he was walking.

This upgrade to [Omnipotent] also caused a major qualitative change in the levels of the skills Ling Zhan possessed.

[Explosive Arrow] was originally an F-rank beginner skill and could not be upgraded using skill points.

But with the boost from [Omnipotent (B+)], [Explosive Arrow (F)] became [Explosive Arrow (E)].

The increase in skill level meant that the skill's power and attack range were both improved.

Compared to the F-rank version, the splash range of the Explosive Arrow technique increased by 15%, and the damage increased by 15%.

At the same time, the speed of drawing the bow for the Explosive Arrow also increased.

Ling Zhan's other skills also underwent qualitative changes.

[Shield-Breaking Sword Sweep (F+)] was upgraded to [Shield-Breaking Sword Sweep (E)].

It originally only reduced the enemy's defense by 10%, but now it reduced it by 25%.

Furthermore, there was now a 10% chance to inflict a layer of the "Low Morale" debuff on the enemy.
