140: Strength attribute increased by 20,000 points? What the hell?

Ye Xiao casually opened his Restriction Barrier skill description.

--- ---

【Restriction Barrier · Sealing Demons】

【Function One: Designate a location, consume 5000 Mana, set up a barrier immune to all damage, duration: 60 minutes, cooldown: 18 minutes.】

【Function Two: Designate a location, consume 30000 Mana, set up a Heaven Sealing Demon Banning space. All creatures within this space cannot leave, and all their spatial skills are silenced, duration: 60 minutes, cooldown: 18 minutes.】

【Function Three: Consume 10000 Mana, centered on yourself, within a 5x5 range, apply an Evil Spirit Forge. Within the range of the Evil Spirit Forge, for every creature that dies, your attack and dual defenses will increase by 1%, duration: 60 minutes, cooldown: 18 minutes.】

Seeing the third function appear after the Restriction Barrier was cracked and the Evil Spirit Forge was absorbed, Ye Xiao suddenly realized why Wang the Blacksmith, despite knowing that those Modified Deep Sea Lizard Warriors were no match for him, still desperately summoned them to be defeated.

It turned out he was stacking buffs. At the same time, he also understood why Wang the Blacksmith dared not leave the underground altar.

Clearly, without the support of the buffs from the altar, Wang the Blacksmith would definitely not be Ye Xiao's opponent.

All his doubts were resolved.

At this moment, the altar, losing its energy support, was rapidly collapsing at a visible speed. Ye Xiao closed the skill description and activated Divinity Speed.

A moment later, when he appeared in Linhai Village, the ground let out a violent roar, and then Ye Xiao saw the land beneath his feet begin to sink.

Ye Xiao had no choice but to quickly leave Linhai Village and arrive at the Ziqiang Society's former camp.

As soon as he stood still, he heard a rumbling sound from Linhai Village, and then the entire village completely sank into the ground, its already dilapidated houses turning into ruins.

Thus, this small village, abandoned for nearly a hundred years, completely disappeared from the Eternal World.

At the same time, the Ziqiang Society's camp, being unattended, was covered in a layer of dust everywhere.

Ye Xiao suddenly wondered if the reason he and Qi Fei, those somewhat 'chuunibyou' people, received this impossible Three Revolution advancement quest was because Greluo was still alive?

If that were the case, then after Greluo's death, no one else would receive the same quest as him?

In other words, many of the uncompletable quests in the Eternal World now also mean that the NPCs related to those quests have not yet died.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao was somewhat surprised, but this was just his guess, and he had no way to confirm it.

Of course, now that he had successfully completed the Three Revolution, all of this was no longer very relevant to him.

Shaking his head, Ye Xiao exhaled lightly, then began to check the rewards he had just received.

A Rookie King title and a Rookie King reward treasure chest.

First, the Rookie King title. According to records, any new Professional who obtained this title would see a significant increase in their combat power.

However, most people were unclear about how exactly it increased and by how much. The reason was simple: the Rookie King title in every past session was almost always monopolized by the Alliance Eight Great Families.

Even if occasionally a new Professional not belonging to the Eight Great Families obtained it, these individuals were quickly recruited by the Eight Great Families.

As a result, under the strict requirements of the Eight Great Families, the outside world did not know what specific boost the Rookie King title provided.

With some curiosity, Ye Xiao opened his character panel and quickly found the title.

However, with just one glance, Ye Xiao's eyes instantly widened.

--- ---

【Rookie King: Special Title. Among your four-dimensional attributes, the attribute with the lowest value will increase by an amount equal to your highest attribute on its original basis.】

--- ---

Although the description seemed a bit convoluted, Ye Xiao understood its meaning immediately.

Taking his own situation as an example, among his four-dimensional attributes, Intelligence was the highest, having soared to 16045 points after equipping the ring of resentful souls.

As for the lowest of his four-dimensional attributes, that would be Strength, which, even with the boost from the ring of resentful souls, was only 996 points.

And with the Rookie King title, his Strength attribute would increase by an amount equivalent to his total Intelligence, which is 16045 points.

Ye Xiao looked at his current Strength attribute. This seemingly useless attribute, which he had always neglected, instantly soared to 25604 points with the title's blessing.

Relying on this terrifying Strength bonus, Ye Xiao's physical defense now directly jumped from the original 24312 points to 70672 points.

What was even more exaggerated was that, as a mage, his current physical damage was actually several times higher than his magic damage.

This made Ye Xiao feel a bit amused and helpless.

However, he was also a bit puzzled. His Intelligence was only 16045 points. Logically, even with the Rookie King title's bonus, it should at most be slightly over 17000 points.

How did it suddenly become 25064 points?

Suddenly, Ye Xiao realized.

All of this was thanks to the ring of resentful souls.

Before the blessing of the ring of resentful souls, his original Strength was only 664 points. Then, thanks to the Rookie King title's blessing, it became 16709 points.

Finally, on top of these 16709 points, it was boosted by 50%, which resulted in the final displayed effect of 25064 points.

According to this calculation, the ring of resentful souls' bonus to his Strength attribute was a notch higher than the other three attributes, equivalent to a 125% increase.

Such an increase could only be described as terrifying.

However, what made Ye Xiao depressed was that he was a mage. What was the use of so much Strength?

If he had known this would be the outcome, he would have definitely suppressed his Agility to the lowest, so that his Agility would become the highest among the four attributes.

Unfortunately, there was no such thing as a 'respec' in this world.

Ye Xiao's thoughts involuntarily turned to Xiao Jin.

Who knew, after telling Xiao Jin the situation, the latter helplessly told him that it was impossible to encounter such a situation again.

This answer disappointed Ye Xiao.

He admitted that the Rookie King title's effect was indeed very strong, not just strong, but exceptionally strong. This sudden increase of tens of thousands of attribute points, even a Nine-Cycle Professional would find it tempting.

No wonder the Eight Great Families tried their best to recruit every new Professional who obtained the Rookie King title. It was imaginable that once a new Professional with the Rookie King title grew up, their attributes alone would be enough to surpass countless others.

Even if their combat power was somewhat lacking, they would definitely be much, much stronger than ordinary people.

Ye Xiao now somewhat understood why the Eight Great Families kept this a secret. Obviously, if such a thing were to spread, how many people would go crazy for it?

How fierce would the competition be for the next batch of new Professionals?

Furthermore, with such a powerful effect, let alone the Eight Great Families, even an ordinary person who obtained it would not easily spread such information, as that would undoubtedly bring trouble upon themselves.

Although the Strength attribute did not significantly improve him, Ye Xiao was powerless to change it. He simply considered it as an increase in his physical defense.

Shaking his head, Ye Xiao's gaze fell on the treasure chest in front of him.

The treasure chest was issued along with the title, and there was no mention of its grade.

Ye Xiao was also very curious about what this treasure chest could open up.

Thinking this, Ye Xiao directly opened it.

--- ---

【Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a special item — Magic Weapon.】

--- ---

Ye Xiao looked at the special item opened from the treasure chest, his expression suddenly surprised.

It was actually the unique core skill item for magic users?

This... Suddenly, Ye Xiao realized that his greatly increased Strength seemed to have a use after all.
