Chapter 442

"A 35% increase in dual attributes, and the special effects are so awesome, it would be unreasonable if there were no restrictions."

Li Yao muttered, not caring.

He had only obtained one piece of Masterpiece equipment in total,

so he had no choice!

He equipped 【Spider's Kiss】.

This time, the treasure chests were all finished.

A total of four pieces of Legendary equipment:

he wore two, destroyed one, and the remaining one could be used for trading.

And with the treasure chests finished,

the harvest this time wasn't over yet!

Li Yao looked at the pile of shining gold coins in his storage ring.

After saving for more than a month,

the number of gold coins finally exceeded ten thousand.

He could upgrade one chess piece from SR-grade to SSR-grade.

He had estimated before:

SR-grade chess pieces had strength roughly at the True Name level.

Kai'Sa, Kha'Zix, and Gainyate—

these three chess pieces,

even without actual combat training and Far Away as Neighbors,

had True Name-level strength.

Another evolution required ten thousand gold coins.

Such a large span

exactly matched the span from True Name level to Overlord level.

If he guessed correctly,

SSR

was equivalent to Overlord level!

Li Yao had already decided who to upgrade first:

it was definitely Kha'Zix!

The strength source of all chess pieces came from Kha'Zix's 【Actual Combat Training】.

There was no reason not to choose it!

Sensing its master's call,

Kha'Zix revealed its form from the void.

This chess piece, which had always been hidden in the void,

silently guarding Li Yao,

was about to undergo a leap in its life hierarchy!

With a thought,

the large pile of gold coins was suddenly reduced to just a few scattered ones on the ground.

A scarlet luster wrapped Kha'Zix within it.

The next second,

【Warning! Warning! Warning!】

【The selected area for the Border Trial - Lost Continent, is about to give birth to an Overlord-level creature!】

【The Overlord's strength far exceeds the Border Trial participants.】

【But the Overlord is born in a way within the rules of the Border Trial.】

【】

The repetitive prompt sounded in every professional's mind.

Everyone was stunned in place,

and a thought popped into everyone's mind:

"No way?!"

"Again?!"

"Is an Overlord some kind of Chinese cabbage creature?"

On the map,

next to the red dot representing the Void Monarch, another red dot cursor representing an Overlord appeared!

【Mecha Kha'Zix】

Li Yao naturally heard the system prompt in his mind.

He looked up and down at the brand-new Kha'Zix.

It had changed from its previous all-purple body to now having indigo armor.

The wings behind its back had also become pale red grid phantoms.

Two orange antennae grew on its forehead.

From the original purple mantis,

it had completely evolved into a

terrifying monster possessing endless might!

"Whoa, it looks pretty sharp!"

Li Yao was in a great mood.

He guessed right;

SSR

was an Overlord!

【Skill 8: Void Mark: Locked, unlocks when level reaches 80】

【Skill 9: Mecha Form: Locked, unlocks when level reaches 100】

"Oh?"

"This skill coefficient has increased by more than just a little bit!"

"The base attributes have also increased significantly, far exceeding the Titan Emperor from before."

However,

in terms of attributes alone, it should be slightly inferior to Elise.

Li Yao didn't think too much about it.

Elise had swallowed the demigod Ornn,

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

so its attributes should have increased by a chunk.

It was perfectly normal for Kha'Zix to be a bit weaker.

And in terms of skills,

Kha'Zix was going to crush Elise.

As for health,

Li Yao didn't even look at it.

Not to mention that human professionals and monsters above leader level were not on the same level in terms of health,

just looking at Kha'Zix's skill type and its positioning,

it wasn't a chess piece that needed to take hits at all!

Health was the most useless thing for Kha'Zix!

Comparing health was the Devourer's job.

According to the current trend, when the Devourer promoted to SSR-grade, its health would probably leave Elise in the dust by several streets.

Just then,

Nine-jo Mise's somewhat anxious voice suddenly sounded in the sound snail.

"Li Yao-kun, what happened on your end?"

"How come another Overlord appeared?"

"Don't worry, it's my summoned beast."

Li Yao didn't hide it.

One reason was that he didn't have the habit of hiding things,

and the second was that everyone was already familiar with this guy, Kha'Zix.

When it was summoned later, there would be obvious changes in its appearance, and a little association would be enough to guess.

There was no sound from the sound snail for a long time.

Li Yao thought the other party had hung up,

so he got up, boarded Gainyate, and continued to head north.

The sun hadn't set yet,

and he was in the northern region,

so he could just take a look at what was in the far north of the Lost Continent on the way.

As for that towering giant tree,

Li Yao planned to come back tomorrow to explore it carefully.

Gainyate flew for a while,

and Nine-jo Mise's voice sounded from the sound snail again.

"Okay, okay, I know."

The sound snail hung up in a hurry, leaving Li Yao feeling baffled.

Li Yao didn't think too much about it and rode Gainyate to bypass the towering giant tree in front of him.

Flying to its base, Li Yao realized that this giant tree was far more massive than he had imagined!

The diameter of the trunk alone was at least a thousand meters!

According to the proportions of ordinary trees,

the height of this giant tree was at least over ten thousand meters!

In other words, the trunk below the clouds was just the tip of the iceberg of the entire giant tree!

Gainyate flying beside it was like a flying insect, extremely tiny.

Li Yao became more and more determined to go up and explore.

"Tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow I'll climb to the canopy and see what's up there!"

Gainyate bypassed the giant tree and headed north all the way.

Ten minutes after flying, S-grade insect swarms began to appear frequently on the ground.

Li Yao looked at them without making a move,

and these insect swarms, seeing the giant dragon fly over, didn't dare to make a single sound.

As they went further north,

the sour, foul smell unique to insects began to gradually disappear.

Just then,

a system prompt sounded in his mind:

【Attention! The professional is heading towards the border of the Border Trial.】

【Beyond the border is the Abyss, where creatures that the professional cannot deal with are highly likely to appear.】

【Please choose carefully.】

Li Yao took a look, ignored it, and continued to fly at high speed.

"Splash!"

The sound of waves crashing against rocks rang out.

"The sea?"

A salty, damp smell rushed into his nostrils.

After smelling the insect stench for so many days, Li Yao felt a sense of relief.

The sea level appeared in Li Yao's field of vision.

Li Yao had Gainyate stop by the sea.

It was a vast, boundless deep blue painting.

The sea breeze blew in his face, carrying the scent of the ocean.

It was no different from the ocean on Blue Star,

but Li Yao knew very well

that deep in this ocean,

some unspeakable, terrifying existences were lurking!

For example:

the Overlord, the Flame Throne Crab.

"Is this the Endless Sea?"

Li Yao asked suspiciously.

He didn't know if there were other oceans in the Abyss.

Thinking of the Endless Sea,

a figure appeared in Li Yao's mind.

A seashell was held in Li Yao's hand.

Hearing Lingxin had said

that as long as he called out to this seashell, no matter where he was, it would come.

Li Yao did have many questions he wanted to ask Hearing Lingxin,

but he didn't know where he was.

He couldn't let Hearing Lingxin travel thousands of miles to find him just because of his own curiosity.

Hearing Lingxin's strength wasn't high, and if the distance was too far, Li Yao wouldn't be at ease.

Li Yao looked at the seashell and remembered Hearing Lingxin's special constitution—

the color of its body could change with its mood.

He couldn't help but chuckle,

then put it into his pocket.

Just then,

a pleasant voice suddenly came into Li Yao's mind:

"Li Yao!?"

"Is that Li Yao?"
