[Grade: Purple.]

[After equipping: Agility +20.]

[Level requirement: Level 12 or above.]

[Class restriction: None.]

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

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

① Two-piece set effect: Within 3 seconds of entering combat, the wearer gains the "Vitality" BUFF, restoring 1% of their maximum health and mana every second. The BUFF disappears when combat ends.

② Three-piece set effect: 30% of the damage dealt to enemies by the wearer is stored as energy. When the wearer's health drops to 30%, that energy turns into a shield equal to the stored amount of damage, protecting the wearer from incoming damage. The shield steadily decays over five seconds.

"If I put this set up for sale, people would go crazy for it!"

Ling Zhan exclaimed.

In this world, ninety percent of students were ordinary.

Take someone like Ling Zhan, who came from a poor family. He couldn't afford even a blue-grade novice set, let alone a purple-grade one like this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have charged into the college entrance exam's secret realm without wearing any armor.

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

He had to pay to get a new set of white-grade armor. It wasn't much—just a thousand yuan.

But Ling Zhan simply couldn't afford it.

Actually, if Ling Zhan had gone to his homeroom teacher and explained the situation, Old Qi would have bought him a set of white-grade armor without a second thought.

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

It wasn't that he was being difficult. He just didn't want to be indebted to anyone.

Money was easy to repay, but favors were hard to return!

Now he'd gotten this purple-grade novice set from a chest, and it even came with a set effect. If he sold it, who knew what sky-high price it might fetch?

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

It was a passive item.

If Ling Zhan ever found himself cornered and was killed by an enemy,

the item would activate, putting him into an "invincible fake-death" state.

After ten seconds, it would teleport him a thousand miles away, ensuring his safety.

This was a one-time-use item. Once triggered, its effect would disappear.

Next was the S-rank trial talent, "Undying Body."

[Undying Body (S)]

[Type: Passive trial talent.]

[Description: Rapidly repairs your injuries.]

The description for this trial talent was brief.

But Ling Zhan knew that since it was an S-rank trial talent, its healing ability had to be incredibly powerful.

It should be even stronger than the healing skills used by ordinary healing classes.

No...

It was definitely stronger than the recovery skills of ordinary healing classes.

Ling Zhan really wanted to test just how powerful this S-rank trial talent's healing ability was.

But after thinking it over, he gave up.

After all, he couldn't exactly cut off his own arm to test the trial talent.

That wouldn't just be stupid. It would be downright brainless.

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

Ling Zhan's eyes grew more and more excited.

His face was alight with joy.

Undying Body, the Endless Life Set, and the Substitute Scarecrow had already been enough to delight him.

So what would this Legendary Treasure Chest contain?

[Would the host like to open the Legendary Treasure Chest?]

"Yes!"

Ling Zhan answered firmly.

Ding!

[Legendary Treasure Chest opened. Congratulations, host, you've triggered a double reward!]

[Congratulations, you've obtained the god-tier skill "Sun Flare (S-)"!]

[Congratulations, you've obtained a Talent Upgrade Orb! It has been automatically used, raising all your innate talents to B+!]

[Sun Flare (S-): Enter the "Flame God" state. All attacks will be imbued with black flames, which scorch enemies and deal massive damage, while also inflicting the "Deathlock" state.]

[Note: While in the "Deathlock" state, enemies are immune to all healing and beneficial effects, and the "Deathlock" state cannot be dispelled.]

"This skill is way too overpowered!"

After reading the skill description, Ling Zhan's eyes lit up with excitement.

Dealing massive damage to enemies was one thing.

The key was the "Deathlock" state.

Everyone knew that some monsters had extremely powerful recovery skills.

Take the BOSS monster Ling Zhan had faced in the college entrance exam's secret realm, for example. If it managed to use its skill, it could instantly remove all its debuffs and restore all its health.

Back then, Ling Zhan had activated [Blood Sacrifice]. If he couldn't finish off the monster within those few dozen seconds, he was the one who'd be finished.

If he'd had this skill at the time, he wouldn't have needed to be so tense.

And the "Deathlock" state couldn't be dispelled.

That meant he wouldn't have to fear human opponents either, especially teams with priests.

This would become Ling Zhan's trump card.

And then there was the "Talent Upgrade Orb"!

That was an incredible item too!

After all, innate talents were gifts from the heavens. They were random and couldn't be changed.

But the orb from the system's chest had forcibly raised 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 expertly wield weapons of any class below Level 30, regardless of grade. You can switch equipment in 0.3 seconds.]

[Mana Controller (B+)]

[Type: Passive talent.]

[Description: Increases your base mana recovery speed by 50% and your maximum mana by 50%. It also increases your skill cooldown reduction by 30%.]

[Omnipotent (B+)]

[Type: Passive talent.]

[Description: Raises the level of all your class skills by three ranks, up to a maximum of C.]

[Equipment Controller] let him effortlessly master the weapon proficiencies of every class, regardless of grade! Only the weapon's level mattered!

[Mana Controller] let him transform into a magic-slinging machine gun.

[Omnipotent] greatly boosted the power of every class skill he had.

All in all, the system's rewards suited the path he'd chosen perfectly.

This upgrade to [Omnipotent] had also brought about a major transformation in the levels of Ling Zhan's skills.

[Explosive Arrow] had originally been an F-rank basic skill, and its level couldn't be increased with skill points.

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

Raising a skill's level increased both its power and its range.

Compared to when it was F-rank, Explosive Arrow's area of effect had increased by 15%, and its damage had increased by 15%.

At the same time, Ling Zhan could draw his bow faster.

His other skills had also undergone major transformations.

[Shield-Breaking Sword Sweep (F+)] had risen to [Shield-Breaking Sword Sweep (E)].

It had originally reduced the enemy's defense by just 10%. Now it reduced their defense by 25%.

It also had a 10% chance to inflict one stack of the "Fighting Spirit Dampened" debuff on the enemy.
