Chapter 370

Additional Trait #2: When attacked, 50% chance to increase physical attack by 30% and damage taken by 50%, lasting 5 seconds, non-stacking.

Additional Trait #3: Every fourth time attacked, automatically block the target's attack and counter, dealing true damage equal to 10 times your Strength.

Additional Trait #4: Passive defense efficiency increased by 10%; control effects reduced by 25% when controlled (Tier 9)!

Set Effect (6/6)

Two-Piece Set (Activated): All attributes +20,000, physical damage +55%!

Four-Piece Set (Activated): All attributes +50%, damage reduction +35%!

Six-Piece Set (Activated): Dragon Demon Slash, consumes 100,000 mana, deals massive hybrid damage to a single target within 100 meters and inflicts bleeding effect (Tier 9) for 30 seconds, cooldown 30 minutes; if the target is killed during bleeding, instantly reset skill cooldown!

Set Exclusive Passive (Unique): If damage dealt exceeds the target's maximum HP, permanently reduce target's attributes by 20%; each unit can be affected at most twice; this effect can be removed by Forbidden Purification!

……

This is one of the reasons Luo Chenyu can drastically boost his attributes!

SSS-Rank Super Set!

Explosive attributes — absolutely the ultimate gear everyone dreams of.

Most importantly…

The set's exclusive effect is just too OP!

This effect might not work well against bosses or Gao Jie monsters.

But…

What about players?

Players' HP is relatively low, and most have HP-lock or invincibility abilities.

With full burst, you can cripple a player completely!

"Heh, from now on, anyone I don't like gets disabled!"

Aside from that.

Luo Chenyu had another source of confidence.

【Deep Sea Giant Tuteng】

Quality: S

Level Requirement: LV. 90!

Basic Effect #1: Enhances class growth; each level grants an extra +10 to all attributes.

Basic Effect #2: Final effectiveness of every point of Constitution and Strength increased by 120%.

Basic Effect #3: Always reduces any damage taken by a fixed 100,000 points (excluding absolute damage); applicable to shields.

Active Skill: Giant's Form, consumes 200,000 mana, increases size 2 to 10 times, boosts all attributes by 150%, and each attack has a 50% splash effect, lasts 5 minutes, cooldown 30 minutes; during duration, 5% chance to stun attacker on hit.

……

No one knew which sea monster's gift this was.

He discovered it while organizing his inventory after the East Sea Beast Tide ended.

The only physical Tuteng.

Perfectly compensated for the embarrassment of having "lost" 【Black Long Tuteng】!

Just as Luo Chenyu equipped all his gear.

A different prompt appeared before his eyes.

"Ding, your Strength exceeds 150,000 and you have reached the initial maximum Strength, Obtain Mid Tier Crush Talent!"

"Ding, your Constitution exceeds 150,000 and you have reached the initial maximum Constitution, Obtain Mid Tier Solidify Talent!"

Two Mid Tier talents finally arrived.

At the same time.

A "bad news" echoed in his mind…

Both Mid Tier talents were devoured by his mutation skill…

【Prompt: Your skill 【Steel Shield】 has devoured your talents 【Mid Tier Crush Talent】 and 【Mid Tier Solidify Talent】, attempting to hoard all talent power!】

【Prompt: Your skill 【Protection of the Goddess of Life】's "Appeal to Emotion, Command with Power," allied with other skills, forced 【Steel Shield】 to surrender seven layers of talent power!】

【Prompt: Your skill 【Steel Shield】 has devoured the talent power, its effect has transformed, and all skill effects are now integrating!】

【Prompt: Your skill 【Protection of the Goddess of Life】's protection has absorbed the talent power, its effect has improved, and additional attribute bonuses have been gained!】

【Prompt: Your skill…】

……

A series of prompts began to appear.

When Luo Chenyu checked his skill effects, he suddenly noticed something odd about 【Steel Shield】.

Its skill description now contained a progress bar.

Integration Progress Bar!

The effect was simple: once the progress bar reached full, 【Steel Shield】 could trigger another evolution, advancing toward "Specialization."

Integration required absorbing energy.

That meant…

Devouring other skills to absorb their skill power.

Any skill would do!

Luo Chenyu sighed and fed all other classes' skill books from his inventory into 【Steel Shield】.

Yet… over forty Low Tier and Mid Tier skill books only raised the integration progress by 6%!

"Fuck, it's a bottomless pit!"

Luo Chenyu was stunned—if things continued at this pace, wouldn't he go bankrupt?

Just as he was astonished,

another upgrade notification came through his mind.

It was the 【Steel Shield】—once again threatened by other skills in tandem, now reduced to a full-fledged "laborer," surrendering more of its skill power.

Luo Chenyu: "..."

His skills were all off.

The tone was growing increasingly bizarre.

Still, this wasn't bad—true strength lay in overall power.

For instance,

【Protection of the Life Goddess】, after devouring this talent's power, had gained a rare permanent attribute.

Maximum HP +200%!

Maximum Mana +100%!

And... the "Blood Pool" had expanded again.

A 500-million Blood Pool!!

This was his ultimate lifeline!

As long as the Blood Pool wasn't empty, he wouldn't die!

Besides that,

all other skills had improved slightly, though only marginally.

………………

After his stats saw a massive boost,

Luo Chenyu was satisfied—he knew he now possessed the true ability to Cross-Tier kill.

This "Cross-Tier" specifically targeted Tier 9 cultivators!

"Hmph, I must surpass that old bastard in all stats before my fourth transformation!"

Luo Chenyu recalled Demigod Feng Ji's level 99 supreme stats.

His heart burned with longing!

Right now, there were still many areas where he could improve.

For example...

The two rings!

He had never replaced them.

Not because he didn't want to—but because he hadn't found suitable gear!
