Leina's Transformation and Her Outrageous Legendary-Tier Attributes! (Continued)
(Note: "Be careful... this flame will hurt.")
"Very powerful, no wonder it's Tier Three spell."
"Especially the first [Flame Barrier], Leina's mental power has now exceeded five thousand, which is equivalent to being able to raise a 500-meter-high wall of fire on the spot."
"If this were unleashed on the battlefield, it would be incredibly powerful, whether used to separate enemies, absorb damage, or launch area-of-effect attacks."
Shen Xing quickly connected the various scenarios in which these two spells could be cast, and felt satisfied.
Then, he clicked on Leina's newly activated talent and took a look.
[Talent: Blazing Soul (Each time a fire spell is cast, the magic power within the body will boil, increasing the cast speed and spell damage by 5%, stacking up to 10 times, lasting 25 seconds.)]
This talent is also very strong.
Leina's casting speed and damage were already terrifying, and now with this new talent, she's gone from the original Bomber Girl 1.0 to Bomber Girl 2.0, or even Plus version!
At the same time, the woman, having calmed the restless energy within her body, walked gracefully toward him.
She bowed slightly, performing a standard curtsy. "My lord, thank you for your gift. I feel much more relaxed now."
"That's good." Shen Xing smiled. "It seems this lotus seed has been very helpful to you."
"Yes, it has improved my physique considerably. Not only is it less strenuous when releasing fire power, but it also makes it easier for me to sense the flow of fire elements in the air."
Leina wore a joyful smile.
She paused, then frowned slightly. "However, after this promotion, I feel like I've hit some kind of bottleneck."
"What bottleneck?" Shen Xing asked, puzzled.
Leina thought for a moment and replied softly, "It's hard to describe the feeling. It's like my comprehension has reached a certain limit, and there's an invisible membrane blocking it."
Shen Xing pondered for a moment, seemingly realizing something, and then opened her attribute panel.
[Hero: Leina Yenet]
[Level: 19 (Tier Three)]
[Potential: Boss ★★]
[Qualification: 87/90 (Approaching maximum health)]
Just as he had guessed, the bottleneck Leina mentioned was that her aptitude had reached its limit.
In addition, Shen Xing also saw a line of small print notes below.
(Note: There are no absolutely perfect creatures in the world. Everything has its limits. The God-Gifted peak is the upper limit of some special life forms.)
Forcibly breaking this limit may bring about unknown calamities.
"I see. 90 points of aptitude is the limit for most creatures."
"However, according to the system, it seems that this limit can be broken, but it will cause some trouble."
Shen Xing seemed to be deep in thought.
Although I don't know what this so-called calamity is, I have a premonition that it might be quite terrifying.
Similarly, he could sense that if he could break through this limit, he would reach a completely new realm.
At that time, perhaps I can become the perfect being the system described?
"Interesting. Once we're strong enough, let's find a way to get Leina or someone else in the territory to break through to over 90 points."
Shen Xing secretly made up her mind.
Then he put away the remaining [Thousand-Year Lotus Seed] and began to examine the properties of the second type of lotus seed.
[White Jade Lotus Seeds]
[Quality: Gold]
[Item Type: A special seed cultivated in Lotus Pond; it can only grow in Lotus Pond or other bodies of water with similarly abundant spiritual energy.]
[Item Effect: Plant it in suitable waters. It will grow for 3 years. Once mature, it can yield materials such as 'White Jade Lotus Root (Gold)', 'White Jade Lotus Leaf (Purple)', 'White Jade Lotus Flower (Gold)', and 'White Jade Lotus Seeds (Gold)'.]
(Note: The harvested materials have different effects and can be used for making food, brewing potions, enchanting, etc.)
[Item Effect 2: After each growth cycle of lotus seeds, you can choose to harvest 30% of the lotus seeds. The remaining 70% will be absorbed by the lotus plant, turn back into seeds and settle in the mud to start the next growth cycle.]
After a hundred cycles of growth, the lotus seed Metamorphosis into a 'century-old lotus seed,' and all materials produced from it become significantly more effective.
After a thousand cycles of growth, the lotus seed Metamorphosis into a 'millennial lotus seed,' and all materials grown from it are upgraded in quality by Tier One, resulting in a qualitative change in its effects.
After countless cycles of growth, the lotus seed Metamorphosis into a 'Ten-Thousand-Year Lotus Seed,' from which all materials will contain a trace of special divine power.
(Note: Every hundred cycles of growth of the lotus seed will attract calamities such as heavenly lightning and strange beasts, with the intensity of the calamities increasing over time.)
"So that's how it is. These are the seeds that can grow into Thousand-Year Lotus Seeds."
"Doesn't this mean that if I plant these seeds in the Lotus Pond, I can mass-produce Thousand-Year Lotus Seed in the future?"
A glint of light flashed in Shen Xing's eyes.
Of course, he knew it was extremely difficult.
As described above, these seeds need to go through a complete growth cycle, and not all lotus seeds can be harvested.
Only after absorbing the remaining essence and being nurtured anew in the mud can it be considered a cycle of growth.
To produce Thousand-Year Lotus Seed, it needs to go through a thousand cycles of growth, which is a full three thousand years!
Damn it, the Heavenly Star Nation's Civilization is only a few thousand years old.
Moreover, according to the system notes, every hundred cycles of growth a lotus seed will bring different tribulations, with each subsequent cycle becoming increasingly difficult.
It can be said that to cultivate Thousand-Year Lotus Seed, not only is a lot of time required, but also a sufficiently strong ability.
"However, even the Common white jade lotus has considerable value."
"Those white jade lotus roots, White Jade Lotus Seeds, and white jade lotus flowers—they all sound like high-quality stuff."
"If it could be cultivated on a large scale, it would be a significant source of income for the territory."
Shen Xing thought with satisfaction, "However... the Thousand-Year Lotus Seed in my hand already has such terrifying effects, I wonder what kind of heaven-defying thing the legendary ten-thousand-year-old lotus seed must be?"
Although he knew the hope was slim, a glimmer of expectation still rose in his heart, hoping that one day in the future, the ten-thousand-year lotus seeds would grow in his territory.
"Very good, next item."
He put the lotus seeds into his backpack and then took out an antique Lotus Lantern.
The lamp body is shaped like a seven-petaled lotus flower, and the lamp base is made of an unknown type of bronze, with its surface covered with verdigris spots.
However, the petals on top were damaged, as if they had suffered some kind of Heavy Strike.
[The Unknown Lotus Lantern]
[Quality: Unknown]
[Item Description: A Lotus Lantern of unknown origin, which exhausted all its power in a great battle, and its main body was also severely damaged, with only a last wisp of Undying Fire still flickering.]
[Item Effect: Light the Lotus Lantern, creating a fire zone with a diameter of 1000 meters, dispelling all surrounding fog.]
Within the fire's range, all friendly units recover from injuries more quickly and Purification 1-2 abnormal statuses every 10 seconds.
All enemy units entering the fire's range will be suppressed, with their movement and attack speed reduced by 20%.
It can be lit for 6 hours per day.
[Additional Effect: Undying Lotus Soul (Activates the Undying Fire within the lamp wick, creating a Lotus Flame Barrier that blocks all damage for the next 3 seconds)]
(Note: After using the 'Undying Lotus Soul' effect, the Lotus Lantern will enter a long period of dormancy.)
(Note 2: After that great battle, the fragments of the Lotus Lantern were scattered all over the world. If all the fragments could be found, it might be possible to restore it to its peak condition.)
"Good heavens, the fire's radius is a kilometer in diameter! That's bigger than my territory!"
"Furthermore, it can enhance allies and suppress enemies, essentially creating a large-area aura effect—it's incredibly powerful."
Shen Xing happily played with the antique Lotus Lantern, becoming more and more satisfied with it.
Of course, the most important function of the Lotus Lantern is not the flame that stretches for a thousand meters.
The most overpowered feature is the additional effect: 'Undying Lotus Soul'.
What does it mean that a Lotus Flame Barrier is formed, which will block all damage for the next 3 seconds?
This means that during this period, as long as they are inside the barrier, they are invincible.
Even Master, Grandmaster, and even more powerful beings cannot break through it; it's too exaggerated.
As for the later note about collecting fragments of the Lotus Lantern to restore it to its peak condition, that will not be considered for now.
After all, the Land of Mist so vast, and he has only explored the area surrounding the territory for a few dozen kilometers so far.
Trying to find a few broken pieces in a vast sea of fog is like trying to find a fortune stick in the ocean.
"Excellent, excellent! Three treasures in a row, all so powerful! As expected of products from Lotus Pond, they must be top-quality!"
"Next, there's one last, and most precious, treasure that we haven't examined yet."
Shen Xing's anticipation grew even stronger.
After all, this was the first time he had obtained a Legendary Rank item since entering the Land of Mist, and it was even a territory building.
As you can tell from the name, this thing must be incredibly powerful.
He couldn't wait to take the treasure out of his backpack.
At this moment, a huge ball of light slowly rotated in mid-air, radiating a holy glow.
Its appearance immediately made the air in the entire territory heavier, as if this ball of light contained the weight of eternity.
Inside, the outline of an ancient building can be faintly seen, shimmering in the light.
[Ancient Architecture - Lotus Pond]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Item Description: During the great battle, the Lotus Pond was affected and disintegrated. The Rain God used his supreme power to cut off some of the fragments and preserved the most core essence to reshape it.]
Although it is a simplified version of the Lotus Pond, it still possesses unfathomable power.
[Item Effect: Can be placed in your territory to create a new Lotus Pond.]
(Note: This building contains independent spaces and adheres to the laws of time.)
[External building area: 3245 square meters]
[Interior space: approximately 50,000 square meters]
