70: Unimaginable rewards, comprehensive improvement, panel attributes with overflowing damage

"Hiss… Permanently increases Health by 1 point every hour. Cannot be traded, cannot be dropped."

"The attached skill even grants 10 seconds of invincibility before death?!"

Jiang Yuan's eyes widened.

Is this the effect of an Epic-grade accessory?!

It's a bit too fierce!

Especially the part about permanently increasing Health.

Health +24 per day.

For him, the Limit of Power passive mastery's tenfold attribute amplification was equivalent to an increase of 240 points!

240 in a day, 2,400 in ten days, and 24,000 points in a hundred days!

Even a Tier 4 Shield-bearing class-transferred Martial Artist with talent blessings wouldn't have more than 10,000 Health points.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the trend of turning into a blood tank."

Jiang Yuan happily put on the badge, which was crystal clear like a green gemstone, already imagining the scene of baring a health bar as long as the boss's and slashing at each other face-to-face with knives.

Just thinking about it was exhilarating.

He checked his other gains.

Yellow Springs Set (Gold-grade): Health +1000, Strength +100, Speed +100, Lightning and Water attribute resistance +15, Attack Speed +15, Critical Rate +20, Critical Damage +25...

Equipment Rank: LV35.

Fury of Annihilation (Gold): Bow-type equipment, suitable for archer class transfers, Attack Speed +40, Strength +200, Critical Rate +60, Critical Damage +55, comes with effects like Tear, Paralysis, and Thunder.

Equipment Rank: LV35.

"A Gold set and a Gold-grade bow equipment. Although I can't equip them due to the level requirement, if I take them out to sell, they should fetch a good price."

Jiang Yuan thought happily.

He continued appraising.

[Life Crystal (Advanced)]: An Advanced crystal containing a rich aura of life, capable of making Advanced potions, life-type equipment, and items.

[Unknown Fragment]: Accidentally obtained by Flower Queen Lilith in the Abyss, tainted with a trace of a terrifying and ancient Dragon aura.

"Dragon aura?"

Jiang Yuan was taken aback.

Whether in his past life or this world.

Dragons were undoubtedly mythical creatures.

A hundred years ago, a dragon-shaped lifeform that appeared in the skies above the city, a thousand meters long and capable of destroying a city at will, was later confirmed to be a type of sub-dragon, titled - Extinction Flood Dragon, a King Realm lifeform.

Even sub-dragons could possess such terrifying power, forcing one to wonder if the legendary true dragons were some kind of Divine-Grade entities.

But up until now, no signs of activity from such creatures had been discovered.

Some experts on the Star Domain network boldly guessed,

according to excavated ruins, it was confirmed that unimaginably powerful beings truly existed on Blue Star in ancient times, but they all vanished during a certain period. In modern times during the Age of Gods' Abandonment, traces suspected to be mythical creatures were discovered on the moon, proving that they might have headed deep into the starry skies.

If the Abyss led to another world, with the turmoil and expansion of the Abyss, would those creatures one day return from the starry skies?

He shook his head.

Jiang Yuan stopped thinking about it.

He put away the Life Crystal and the unknown fragment, and continued checking.

[Eye of Fear]: Use this skill on a single target. If the target develops fear towards you, all attributes decrease by 10%.

[Evil Aura]: After releasing the aura, your mental-type skill attack power +50%, and mental control effects like pressure and deterrence are enhanced by 50%.

Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up slightly. "Not bad."

He directly clicked to learn.

Then he evenly distributed the free attribute points gained from leveling up.

After doing all this,

he checked his current attribute panel.

...

"How did my base attributes become so exaggerated?"

Jiang Yuan was somewhat startled and suspicious,

and counted on his fingers.

From LV10 to LV18, every Rank promotion increased all attributes by 100 points, which was 800 points. The 800 free attribute points were then evenly distributed, increasing the four-dimensional attributes by nearly 1,000 points.

Coupled with the base attribute bonuses of various equipment, as well as the comprehensive amplification brought by the sublimation of strength during the battle with Fallen Other Shore Flower...

it was indeed this exact value.

"Nirvana in battle, sublimation in battle."

"Is this the essence of the Martial God class?"

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, harboring a vague sense of enlightenment.

While the Martial God class was undoubtedly incomparably powerful, what was even more perverted was without a doubt his Infinite Amplification talent.

Without this talent, even if he had transferred to the Martial God class, it would have been impossible for him to progress to this extent in such a short time and possess such an absurd combat power.

"Rumble rumble rumble!"

The ruins began to collapse, and the ground sank and fractured.

Jiang Yuan snapped back to his senses and left the ruins carrying the unconscious Luo Xi.

...

Meanwhile,

in the outside world,

inside the Jiang Province Education Bureau.

"Sigh… How could someone actually enter the Flower Ruins? That shouldn't be." The white-haired boy sat in a chair, hugging his knees and sighing.

Yun Zaiye glanced at his watch,

There were still 26 hours left until the end of the exam.

Remaining headcount — 638 people.

"It seems the ones expected to clear it this year will be those three people in the Insect Sea Cave." Yun Zaiye thought to himself.

Just at this moment,

one of the three light dots in the Insect Sea Cave went out, while the other two entered another zone.

Yun Zaiye was stunned and looked at the points leaderboard.

Only five people remained lit in the top ten of the score leaderboard.

First, Jiang Yuan, 1215.

Second, Lin Junhao, 763.

Third, Pei Congyun, 689.

Sixth, Lin Qingyan, 651.

Tenth, Luo Xi, 329.

Xia Qinghou, who was originally ranked fifth, had his name dimmed; he had been eliminated.

"South River City's top Prodigy still couldn't stop an aggressive dark horse," Yun Zaiye lamented.

He had already investigated the information of the top ten long ago.

A female staff member looked at the two moving light dots, thinking she had seen wrong. Pushing up her glasses to look closely, she realized she hadn't seen wrong, and hurriedly shouted at Yun Zaiye:

"Yun, Deputy Director Yun, he, he moved."

"The candidate ranked first has moved!"

"Hmm?"

Yun Zaiye turned his head to look, and was surprised to find that the two light dots of the Lost Giant Wood had moved away from the area where they had lingered all along and were currently moving towards the deepest part.

"How is that possible…"

"Could it be that he escaped the ruins?"

Yun Zaiye muttered.

"What, what?"

Hearing the commotion, the white-haired boy also crowded over, and upon seeing this scene, his eyes instantly widened.

Yun Zaiye laughed loudly, heavily patting his shoulder. "Director Bai, you really are something. Since you set up a passage to leave the ruins, you should have said so earlier, causing me to worry for nothing."

The white-haired boy was silent for a few seconds and said,

"But I don't remember setting up something like that."

Yun Zaiye's smile froze. "…Ah?"

"Think about it, what I wanted to make was a death trap, aimed straight at eliminating people. How could I make an escape passage?"

"To leave the ruins, other than shattering the teleportation stone or killing the boss, there is no third path."

"If, if that's the case…"

Yun Zaiye stiffly turned his head to look at the moving light dots on the giant light sphere and swallowed hard,

"Could he… have really killed the ruins boss?!"

"No, that's impossible, right?"

The white-haired boy fell silent, scratched his head, and said in distress,

"I also think it's impossible, but I can't think of any other explanation either. Or maybe he didn't enter the ruins at all, but fell into some maze, and I was just muddled from sleeping and remembered the ruins' location wrong."

"Right, that's possible!" Yun Zaiye's eyes lit up. "Very possible!"

"That's right! A candidate wiping out a Tier 4 boss single-handedly is simply impossible to achieve. Even the former Northern Lord couldn't do it."

Yun Zaiye unraveled the mystery in his heart, suddenly becoming in a great mood, picked up the iced beer nearby and took a big gulp.

"Next, as long as we wait for them to come out, our job will be considered successfully completed."

The white-haired boy didn't say anything, staring at the giant light sphere, wondering what he was thinking.
