85: Chapter 85 The Heart of the Dragon!

"You may choose any three items from this collection," Jiang Yu said with a grand wave of his sleeve, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Having witnessed Su Chen, at the Third Awakening stage, forcibly kill a 6th transition Epic BOSS, Jiang Yu knew well that this boy's potential could not be measured by common sense.

In order to establish an unbreakable friendship with this future titan, he was willing to let Su Chen turn the treasury upside down if he so desired.

"Then I won't refuse your kindness," Su Chen said with a smile, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

This moment was exactly what he had been waiting for by coming here today.

[Indestructible Shield · Legendary · Level 120]

[Darkblade Greatsword · Legendary · Level 120]

[Tempered Jade Crystal Armor · Epic · Level 100]

[Lightbringer's Radiant Armor · Epic · Level 100...]

A dazzling array of brilliance flashed before his eyes. Although these divine weapons and sharp blades were powerful, their level requirements were extremely high.

Su Chen knew in his heart that by the time he reached those levels, he would likely have found even better replacements.

Therefore, his selection criteria were not based on base stats, but rather on those rare additional skills—after all, with the [Hand of Heaven Stealing], as long as he touched them, these divine skills could be permanently solidified as his own trump cards.

Soon, a streak of dark golden light caught his eye.

[War God's Necklace] (Dark Gold)

• Equipping Requirement: No level limit

• Bonus: Strength, Constitution, and Agility attributes each increased by 500 points

• Attached Skill: [War Gods Indomitability]

o Effect: Upon receiving a fatal blow, activate a 5-second state of absolute death immunity.

o During this period, health is forced to lock at 1 point, and the user is immune to all negative control effects.

o (Cooldown: 12 hours)

This necklace was simply top-tier!

The so-called "five-second real man" meant that even if the Grim Reaper stood before him, Su Chen could forcibly hold out for five seconds without falling.

For an Assassin who pursued extreme output but had a fragile build, the destructive power that could be unleashed in those five seconds was devastating.

In Su Chen's eyes, the value of this life-saving divine skill even surpassed that of ordinary legendary equipment, and he immediately decided to take it for himself.

Next, his gaze settled on a piece of Epic defensive gear.

[Doomsday Armor] (Epic)

• Equipping Level: 100 (Constitution must reach 5000 points)

• Bonus: Strength +2088, Constitution +1888, Defense and Max Health each increased by 30%

• Attached Skill: [Doomsday Revelry]

Effect: After killing a hostile target, own attack speed and movement speed are each increased by 150% for 5 seconds.

Although the level restriction prevented him from donning it for now, the "kill reset" effect of this passive skill was extremely powerful.

Finally, Su Chen selected a special treasure.

[Dragon's Heart] (Treasure)

• Bonus: Spirit attribute increased by 20%

• Special Effect: Dragon-type resistance increased by 20%, Dragon-type skill damage amplified by 100%

Description: Condensed from Dragon Island crystals soaked in the aura of ten thousand dragons over time; it is not an actual organ.

He had specifically chosen this for the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon.

With this double damage amplification, it would likely only take Xiao Zi a few breaths to clear out Dark Gold-grade BOSSes in the future.

The more fierce the pet, the more he, as the master, could relax and coast.

"Just these three items then. Thank you for your generosity, Uncle Jiang," Su Chen said, beaming with satisfaction.

"Chen, are you sure you only want these?" Jiang Yu stared, dumbfounded.

He had originally thought Su Chen would fixate on those legendary-grade god-tier pieces that were the pride of the collection, and he had even psychologically prepared himself for the sting of losing them.

To his surprise, this kid ended up taking only one Dark Gold and one Epic item, along with an accessory specifically for a pet.

"These are very suitable."

Su Chen nodded obediently, showing a pure and innocent smile that seemed to say, "I know my limits and can't bear to let you spend too much."

Seeing this, Jiang Yu was almost moved to tears.

He sighed inwardly: What a sensible child! To be so grateful and repay kindness at such a young age, he isn't greedy at all!

The truth of the matter was... although the attributes of those legendary items were high, their attached skills were, in Su Chen's eyes, simply too terrible and not worth wasting a slot on.

"Tianchen Academy is located in Yun City. If you have any difficulties in the future, just say the word. Don't treat your Uncle Jiang like a stranger," Jiang Yu said, gripping Su Chen's hand tightly and entrusting him with a solemn expression. "Although my personal strength is average, I still carry some weight in the Yun City Jiang Family."

Su Chen's heart gave a sudden leap.

The Jiang Family was a prestigious clan that possessed demi-god level powerhouses!

With those words from Jiang Yu, it was equivalent to having a direct get-out-of-death-free card in Yun City; he could practically walk sideways without fear.

After another round of warm pleasantries, Su Chen bid farewell to Jiang Yu.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he couldn't wait to take off the [rock heart] and hang that [War God's Necklace], which exuded a primal aura, around his neck.

At the same time, he replaced his slightly outdated Level 40 Dark Gold Fallen Knight set with the Level 60 legendary-grade [slayer four-piece set] he had "touched" from the Shadow Mantis.

The [slayers hard-shell legguards], [Gauntlets], [Boots], and [Pauldrons] were all donned.

[Ding! Detected that the professional has gathered the Slayer Set (4/4). Set attributes activated: Critical Rate increased by 40%, Critical Damage increased by 60%!]

As the four pieces of legendary equipment fell into place, a surging sense of power instantly filled his limbs and bones.

Su Chen took a deep breath and, full of expectation, called up his attribute panel.
