138: Chapter 138 Legendary Loot

Lin Yan turned around, his gaze sweeping calmly over the dazzling loot at his feet.

As the final BOSS of the Chaotic Battlefield, the loot quality of the Imperial Guard Emperor far exceeded that of ordinary monsters; the energy fluctuations radiating from it alone were enough to drive any Contestant in the outside world crazy.

Tens of thousands of Contestants on the Third Floor gazed up from afar, stretching their necks, yet they could only see golden light swirling in the sky above the Fourth Level. They couldn't see exactly what had dropped, so they could only speculate wildly in their hearts, their eyes turning red with envy.

Two ring-shaped pieces of equipment lay in the center, emitting the heaviest aura; they were surrounded by a pile of rare materials of various shapes, as well as a few gleaming potions and items.

The system notification sounds rang out in his mind one after another.

[ Obtained Equipment: Imperial Army Overlord Ring · Level 25 ]

[ Quality: Purple Epic ]

[ Effect: Physical Attack +2000; all melee attacks extend a layer of heavy blade aura/axe force/spear radiance outward, steadily expanding melee attack range and increasing damage dealt by 20% ]

[ Requirement: Level ≥ 25, Strength ≥ 200 ]

---

[ Obtained: Imperial Sumeru Flash Ring · Level 30 ]

[ Quality: Gold Legendary ]

[ Effect: Speed +2000; gain 1000 cubic meters of storage space; comes with skill [Instant Void Blink]; select any coordinate within 100 meters with a thought to instantly blink there; the casting process includes a brief intangible invincibility state; can still be triggered normally when suppressed by binding or movement speed restriction effects; cooldown 24 hours ]

[ Requirement: Level ≥ 30, Agility ≥ 250 ]

Lin Yan's gaze swept over the two rings one by one.

First was the Purple Epic Imperial Army Overlord Ring.

Physical Attack +2000—this value was already quite exaggerated for Level 25 equipment. More importantly, the attached blade aura effect, which expanded attack range and increased damage by another 20%, was practically tailor-made for his pure physical melee playstyle.

With a Level 25 requirement, he wasn't far off and would be able to wear it soon.

What truly made his gaze flicker was that Gold Legendary quality Imperial Sumeru Flash Ring.

Gold Legendary.

This was the second Legendary-grade piece of equipment he had obtained.

Speed +2000 and 1000 cubic meters of storage space were already enticing enough, but the true core value lay in that [Instant Void Blink] skill.

Reach any point within 100 meters with a thought, brief intangible invincibility upon casting, and most importantly, it could still be triggered while bound.

What did this mean?

It meant that even if he were immobilized by someone's crowd control skill, he could still use this ring to force an escape or even counterattack.

This wasn't just a simple displacement skill; it was an absolute trump card for survival and an unexpected trump card for a counter-kill.

Although a 24-hour cooldown wasn't short, for a skill of this level, a long cooldown was normal.

"Level 30..." Lin Yan whispered to himself, his fingertips gently stroking the surface of the ring.

The requirement was indeed high, but it was worth the wait.

He couldn't wear it yet, so he put it directly into his storage space, planning to take it out and use it once he reached the corresponding level.

His gaze then swept toward the remaining loot.

A pile of Imperial-grade rare materials: Imperial Gold Crystals, Imperial Guard Gold Armor Fragments, Throne Source Stones, Imperial Soul Essence... Each item, if taken out, would be hard currency that people in the outside world would fight tooth and nail for, possessing extremely high value whether sold for money or used to craft equipment and refine potions.

Lin Yan didn't examine them in detail; with a thought, he stowed all the materials away.

To him, these were just icing on the cake; the real jackpot was still those two rings.

...

[ Ding — Dungeon remaining time: 10 seconds ]

[ 9... 8... 7... ]

The cold system countdown rang out across the entire Chaotic Battlefield.

On the Third Floor, Second Layer, and First Layer, all Contestants held their breath, looking up at the numbers constantly flickering in the sky.

This brutal slaughter, which had lasted for nearly seven days, was finally coming to an end.

[ 3... 2... 1... ]

[ Dungeon ended. ]

[ Teleportation array activated. Evacuating from the Dungeon... ]

Hum—!

Blinding white light poured down from the sky of every layer, enveloping all the Contestants.

Everyone felt their vision blur, their bodies pulled by an invisible force as they ascended toward the sky.

On the Fourth Level, Lin Yan stood in the center of the white light, his expression calm.

The white light grew increasingly intense, eventually completely submerging his figure.

...

[ Dungeon settlement in progress... ]

[ Chaotic Battlefield · Dungeon Settlement ]

[ Clearance Rating: SS ]

[ Basic Reward: Free Attribute Points +10 ]

SS-grade.

Lin Yan glanced at the rating without much surprise.

Sweeping through four layers solo, slaying the Imperial Guard Emperor with two punches, beating the berserk form to death with three punches, and clearing the entire Dungeon in a crushing fashion—getting an SS rating was perfectly reasonable.

Just then—another hextech system panel, visible only to him, popped up silently in the corner of his vision.

[ hextech system Settlement ]

[ Congratulations to the Host for successfully clearing the Chaotic Battlefield Dungeon ]

[ Reward Unlocked: Successfully lit up [Magic to Physical Conversion] and [Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation] hextech collections ]

[ Reward: Gold-tier hextech refresh probability +1% ]

[ Current Gold-tier hextech refresh probability: 12.5% → 13.5% ]

[ Dungeon clears accumulated: 4 / 5 ]

---

The Gold-tier refresh probability increased by another 1%, reaching 13.5%. Added to the previous 5% prismatic probability, the chance of refreshing good items next time was significantly higher.

There was also that "solidify one hextech every five Dungeon clears" mechanism. He had already cleared four times, so he only needed one more to solidify the first one.

Solidifying hextech... this meant he could permanently retain the hextech effect without worrying about it being refreshed and replaced.

"This Dungeon run was a huge profit," Lin Yan thought to himself.

Everyone in the outside world thought he relied on some top-tier, secret technique, but no one knew that his real trump card was this hextech system.

...

Tens of thousands of Contestants had just been teleported out of the Dungeon, each looking disheveled, exhausted, or excited, whispering and discussing among themselves in their respective Safe Zones.

"Finally out... I'm exhausted!"

"Exactly. We've been fighting continuously for several days. Not to mention physical stamina, my brain is almost fried."

"How many points do you think Lin Yan ended up with? What kind of rewards will he get?"

"It must be an astronomical figure!"

"By the way, which Safe Zone is this Lin Yan from? Does anyone know? Such a huge dark horse suddenly appeared."

"I met someone in the Dungeon earlier who said Lin Yan seems to be from the Seventh Safe Zone."

"The Seventh Safe Zone? He didn't come from the top five super Safe Zones?"

"He was so fierce!"

"He killed the final BOSS with just two punches!"

The discussions rose and fell, with the topic almost entirely revolving around Lin Yan and that earth-shattering battle on the Fourth Level.

Just then—the holographic point leaderboards projected across every Safe Zone.
