101: Chapter 101 Crimson Abyss Blood Ashes

In the center of the arena, a golden beam of light shot up from the ground. A giant gilded treasure chest, carved with void patterns and blood-red runes, slowly rose from beneath the ground. It floated silently in the middle of the field, surrounded by swirling light, clearly containing top-tier secret treasures.

Wen Xiaoyou tugged on the corner of Lin Yan's clothes, staring curiously at the large treasure chest in front of her, her eyes sparkling: "So many treasures! Open it and take a look!"

Lin Yan nodded, stepped forward, and reached out to gently push open the gilded treasure chest.

As the lid opened, two distinct beams of light from the treasures shot out first—one purple and one white—strikingly eye-catching.

A skill book, shimmering with deep purple light and pages wreathed in blood-red patterns, lay quietly at the very top of the chest. Beneath it was a warm, pristine white jade talisman engraved with reincarnation patterns. Besides these, a neat, complete set of blood-red equipment exuding epic pressure was also displayed.

[You have obtained the Purple Epic Skill Book [Level 20 Adaptive Universal Skill Tome]]

[Skill Book Effect: Can randomly generate an exclusive active skill that is 100% adapted to the user based on their combat style, attribute panel, and talent system. No school conflicts. Can only be used after reaching Level 20.]

Lin Yan touched the skill book with his fingertip and, without the slightest hesitation, chose to use it immediately.

A pale purple light instantly enveloped his entire body as the system began to rapidly scan all his combat information: melee battle-axe combat, Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation with infinite stacking, high-frequency continuous output, kiting blood-battle tactics, reliance on attack and defense attributes, expertise in trading damage for damage...

After a few seconds, the exclusive skill took shape, and a cold prompt sounded.

[Adaptation complete! Obtained exclusive active skill: Peak State]

[Skill Quality: Purple Epic]

[Skill Effect: Consumes 30% of your maximum HP limit and reduces your physical and magic defense by 70%. Locks onto a single target in front for a dash, during which you gain the Unstoppable status. Upon activation, gain 30% Omnivamp, 30% additional attack power, 30% additional movement and attack speed, and 30% damage reduction. All attacks deal 30% fixed true damage. Skill duration: three minutes. Cooldown: two hours.] (True damage cannot be mitigated by damage reduction, nor can it be increased by damage buffs.)

[Learning Conditions: Level > 20, Constitution ≥ 200, Strength ≥ 200]

Seeing the full details of the skill, a glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.

The cost was immense, directly and permanently reducing his maximum HP and a huge amount of dual resistance; it could be called a self-mutilating burst.

But the all-dimensional boost it exchanged for was terrifyingly powerful. Attack, attack speed, damage reduction, lifesteal, and true damage were all maxed out, perfectly fitting his fighting style of becoming braver as the battle went on and continuously stacking blood-battle effects.

Especially when combined with his equipment system that increases damage based on health loss, this skill was a desperate killing move tailored specifically for him.

Following that, he picked up the pure white jade talisman, and the item attributes came into view.

[One-time Special Item: Reincarnation Jade]

[Item Effect: Can be taken out of this Dungeon. After the holder dies in any scenario, Reincarnation is automatically triggered, instantly reviving them with full health and clearing all negative debuffs, curses, and damage-over-time effects on the body. After revival, all attributes are temporarily increased by 20% for one minute. Cannot be triggered if used outside the Dungeon.]

Lin Yan felt reassured; another trump card added, and his sense of security was completely maxed out.

Afterward, he began to inventory all the supplies from the previously hidden resource point.

Auxiliary armor, luck accessories, and quite a few exclusive pieces of equipment suitable for support, increasing evasion, and boosting luck.

Lin Yan handed everything he didn't need directly to Wen Xiaoyou, who was standing beside him.

"These things are all suitable for you. Take them all."

Wen Xiaoyou obediently took the pile of treasures, her little face crinkling into a smile, her eyes curved and exceptionally cute. She didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Yan and happily stored all the supplies into her storage space; she just loved shiny things like these.

After handling the general resources, Lin Yan's gaze fell on a neat, uniform set of blood-red equipment in the storage bag gifted by the Jiang Family.

A full eight pieces of blood-red epic equipment—blades, armor, accessories, rings, and pendants—were all present. They were surrounded by a thick aura of blood and malevolence, with the set's aura forming a seamless whole—the Level 20 full Purple Epic Crimson Abyss Blood Ashes set.

At this moment, his level had long since reached 24, fully meeting all wearing requirements, so he immediately chose to equip them.
