58: Terrifying upgrade, leaving the copy

The higher the risk, the greater the reward!

Wang Chen nodded in satisfaction as he saw Ice Purity's Rank increase to Rank 30.

Now, the experience Ice Purity needed to level up five Ranks would require him to struggle in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range for at least half a month.

After checking Ice Purity's attributes, Wang Chen turned his attention to the other items he had obtained.

First was the Gold-tier set, Lava Roar.

[Equipment: Lava Armor.]

[Type: Armor.]

[Grade: Gold.]

[Rank Restriction: Rank 40.]

[Attributes: Strength +100, Physique +100.]

[Enchantment Effect: One: Reflects 10% of damage taken each time attacked.

Two: All self-skills increase in power by 5%.]

...

[Equipment: Lava Belt.]

[Type: Armor.]

[Grade: Gold.]

[Rank Restriction: Rank 40.]

[Attributes: Strength +50, Physique +50, Agility +50.]

[Enchantment Effect: One: Comes with weapon storage slots, allowing for quick switching of main weapons (0/2).]

...

[Equipment: Lava Leggings.]

[Type: Armor.]

[Grade: Gold.]

[Rank Restriction: Rank 40.]

[Attributes: Strength +80, Agility +100.]

[Enchantment Effect: One: Increases movement speed by 10%.]

...

At the same time, when these three pieces of equipment were gathered, a set attribute also appeared.

[When all three pieces of the Lava Roar set are collected, an additional 10% defense is gained, and fire attribute attack damage is reduced by 10%.]

"Not bad, not bad. A Gold-tier set like this is definitely a priceless treasure in Dongling City."

"If I were to sell it, it would probably fetch at least ten million gold coins."

After reading the introduction of Lava Roar, Wang Chen happily put it on, and at the same time, he also learned the B-tier skill Bloodthirsty Berserk.

[Bloodthirsty Berserk (B): Active skill. After activating the skill, the user enters a Bloodthirsty Berserk state, reducing pain by 20% and increasing attack by 20%.]

In an instant, Wang Chen felt the power within his body grow even stronger.

[Name: Wang Chen.]

[Profession: Giant Beast Master.]

[Rank: Rank 40 (First Turn Limit)]

[Talents: Affection of Myriad Beasts (SSS), Beast Fusion (God).]

[Skills: Beast Control Technique (S), Beast Control Spring Return Technique (B), Bloodline Identification Technique (God), Contract Summon (B), Instant Sword (D), Wind Blade Technique (C), Bloodthirsty Berserk (B).]

[Strength: 315+260 points.]

[Wisdom: 315+10 points.]

[Physique: 315+150 points.]

[Agility: 315+5+170 points.]

[Unallocated Attribute Points: 0 points.]

[Unallocated Skill Points: 150 points.]

...

After evenly distributing the attribute points, coupled with Ice Purity's feedback, Wang Chen's four-dimensional attributes in a bare-equipment state had already exceeded 300 points.

If the attribute bonuses from his equipment were included, his highest Strength attribute would even approach the 600-point mark.

Such exaggerated four-dimensional attributes were comparable even to ordinary second-turn Awakeners of Rank 60 or 70.

As for the free skill points, Wang Chen temporarily did not plan to use them. B-tier skills required 50 skill points to upgrade each time, which was currently too low in cost-effectiveness for him.

Moreover, his current Rank had already reached Rank 40, the limit of the first turn.

To upgrade again, he had to complete the class transfer quest to continue leveling up.

Keeping the skill points was a good way to be prepared for contingencies.

"After successfully changing professions, I can gain a new Contract slot. Hehe, I'll soon be able to contract a second Beast Pet!"

Thinking happily to himself, Wang Chen's gaze fell on the remaining two rewards.

[Elite Title, Orc Hunter: When used, grants an additional 10% attack power when fighting Orc race monsters.]

Titles are divided into four Ranks: Normal, Elite, Epic, and Legendary.

An Elite-Rank title was already quite good for a Awakener like Wang Chen, who was just starting out.

Without hesitation, he immediately chose to use it.

Next was the last item, a B-tier magic Material, Orc Bloodline Essence.

This item was also quite valuable, being the main Material for refining Berserk potions and Bloodline potions.

It could easily sell for over two million gold coins in the exchange.

However, this item was of no use to Wang Chen; he already had the Bloodthirsty Berserk skill, and he didn't want to change his human Bloodline to become an ugly Orc.

Therefore, he planned to sell this Material, along with other unneeded ones, in the exchange.

"Alright, Ice Purity, it's time for us to go back."

After putting everything into his spatial ring, Wang Chen clapped his hands and picked up Ice Purity.

Then, with a thought, he directly activated the Return Scroll on his person.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Three seconds later, his figure completely disappeared from the Secret Realm Dungeon.

...

"Quick, quick, Wang Chen is coming out!"

On the spectator stand, when everyone saw the frozen screen turn into nothingness, there was a sudden commotion.

This meant that Wang Chen had completed the settlement in the Secret Realm Dungeon and was about to exit.

The Dongling City Mayor let out a yell at this moment, completely disregarding his image as he directly rushed out of the spectator stand.

Behind him, the others also woke up from their daze and quickly followed, rushing to the training ground.

At this time, they didn't even bother to pay attention to how other examinees performed in the Secret Realm Dungeon; they just wanted to bask in the Immortal Qi of Wang Chen, the provincial top scorer, at the first opportunity!

Buzz buzz buzz!!

The space in front of the bronze light gate fluctuated a few times, and then, a tall and straight figure appeared on the training ground.

It was Wang Chen.

After landing firmly on his feet, Wang Chen had just dispelled the dizziness from the teleportation and hadn't even had time to observe his surroundings when he felt his vision blur.

The next second, he was directly surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves.

The Dongling City leaders, who were usually high and mighty, and the mature and steady teachers of No. 1 Middle School, surrounded him so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

The Dongling City Mayor and Principal Li's faces, smiling like chrysanthemums, were almost pressed against him.

Seeing this scene, a hint of surprise flashed in Wang Chen's eyes, but his expression quickly returned to calm.

Such a large display must have been caused by his performance in the college entrance examination Secret Realm.

"Student Wang Chen!"

"You are the pride of our Dongling City. The city and the school will give you the highest-grade rewards afterward. Do you have any other requests? You can make them now, feel free to make any!"

The Dongling City Mayor and Principal Li stared intently at Wang Chen, their voices trembling as they spoke.

A provincial top scorer who was a certainty, and a Giant-Beast Master who had contracted a Dragon.

This was worth them paying any price to win over!

However, Wang Chen's face showed no fluctuation at their words.

He knew that the Dongling City Mayor's promise and the change in attitude of Principal Li and many others around him were merely because they saw the potential in him.

If he were still the Giant-Beast Master without a Beast Pet, these people would have kicked him away without hesitation.
