89: Growth-type mythical equipment

At this moment, Zhi Zi Jiu looked at the eye-catching first-place name.

A monstrous wave surged in his heart.

How is this possible?

How could this happen?

Shouldn't I be first?

I'm a Wizard, and I have over twenty skill slots, so how could someone last longer than me?

A series of question marks continuously appeared in Zhi Zi Jiu's mind.

Watching everyone's gaze focus on the stone tablet, Zhi Zi Jiu roared internally.

He absolutely refused to believe that anyone among the new recruits in the same batch could be stronger than him.

Even though he knew about Night Shadow's past achievements, he had never truly paid attention to him.

Because he possessed a secret that even the Zhi Family members were unaware of.

He had once obtained a mysterious item.

In the space generated by that mysterious item, he had acquired the method to transfer to a Hidden Profession.

Although he hadn't successfully transferred yet, the abilities provided by that mysterious item had already transformed him, putting him far ahead of everyone else.

With so many innate advantages, he simply didn't believe anyone could surpass him.

No!

He should say, these new recruits didn't even have the qualifications to chase after him.

But what was all this in front of him?

Who exactly was this Night Shadow?

How could he still last so long inside?

Countless chaotic thoughts filled Zhi Zi Jiu's mind, making it difficult for him to maintain his usual calm demeanor.

However, his mental fortitude was far stronger than his peers.

Despite the tumultuous thoughts in his heart, he still forced himself to take a deep breath.

The next moment, when he looked up again at the first-place name on the stone tablet, his gaze quickly became profound.

Night Shadow? You can do something even I couldn't.

My interest in you is growing stronger and stronger.

At this moment, within the Path of Exile.

Ye Xiao looked at the empty chat box and couldn't help but sigh.

“This guy is truly amazing; he actually managed to hold on for 20 minutes.”

For a moment, Ye Xiao even wondered if this guy could truly withstand the Dragon's attack for 30 minutes.

That would be too terrifying.

Although, without the help of the Restriction Barrier, Ye Xiao could probably achieve this as well, it still made him feel a little uneasy.

After all, his own combat power was already monstrous enough.

He didn't want a second new recruit as monstrous as him to appear.

That wouldn't be a good thing.

Fortunately, that Zhi Zi Jiu finally fell.

As the light from the last armor clone merged into the armor in front of him, the armor was no longer as damaged as before.

Instead, it had become incredibly new, and its surface even had a faint, constantly swirling glow.

Ye Xiao checked the armor's status.

Indeed, the recovery progress showed 100%.

However, the trial had not yet ended, so the armor had no other changes.

Seeing that there was still nearly 10 minutes left, Ye Xiao, having nothing to do, simply sat there in a daze.

Compared to Ye Xiao's leisure, most people outside had already learned about the current trial mode.

The discussion about Night Shadow had not stopped.

Many people were even speculating how long Night Shadow would be able to last this time.

And so, time slowly passed amidst these discussions.

Just then, within the Path of Exile, the sole remaining Dragon suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar.

This roar also woke Ye Xiao from his sitting position.

Just as Ye Xiao wondered if this big fellow was about to unleash some ultimate move to end the trial, the next moment, the Dragon's figure gradually became ethereal until it disappeared.

A strange look appeared in Ye Xiao's eyes.

That's it? It's gone?

Ye Xiao was a little surprised.

He had expected some kind of twist at the end.

It seemed there were no complications.

At the same time, a deep voice immediately sounded.

--- ---

【Ding! The final trial of Path of Exile has concluded.】

【Ding! Congratulations, you have perfectly completed the trial and achieved first place on the points leaderboard, earning the growable equipment: dragon's sigh robe (Mythical Grade)!】

--- ---

After the voice finished speaking, Ye Xiao's vision shifted, and he appeared on an empty ground.

In front of him was a glowing portal.

Ye Xiao knew that was the exit of the Path of Exile.

However, he was not in a hurry to leave.

Because in front of him, a robe emitting a brilliant light floated quietly in the air.

From the robe, Ye Xiao could vaguely see some resemblance to the armor he had previously guarded.

Apparently, the equipment rewards from the Path of Exile were determined by the participant's Profession.

Since he was a magic-based Profession, the armor eventually transformed into a robe.

Of course, these were secondary concerns.

What excited Ye Xiao the most at the moment was that this dragon's sigh robe was actually Mythical Grade equipment.

Because it was an event reward, it wasn't affected by drop rates.

So, at first, Ye Xiao hadn't had any high hopes for the quality of this growable equipment.

He didn't expect the result to give him such a huge surprise.

Mythical Grade growable equipment was something that could practically be worn for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao suppressed his excitement and put the robe into his inventory.

Then he eagerly checked the robe's attributes.

--- ---

【dragon's sigh robe (Mythical Grade)】

【Trait: Attributes increase with the Professional's level.】

【Current Level: 90】

【Constitution: 180】

【Agility: 120】

【Intelligence: 250】

【Effect One: All Elemental Resistance increased by 1000】

【Effect Two: Reduces Physical Damage by 20%】

【Wearing Level: None】

--- ---

At first glance, these equipment attributes didn't seem extraordinary.

It was simply that, due to its Mythical Grade quality, it had more attribute points compared to other Level 90 equipment.

Even the effects were purely for increasing defense.

But almost in an instant, Ye Xiao understood the true value of this robe.

Although the attributes and effects seemed ordinary, the fact that this robe was growable equipment changed everything.

That meant that as his own level increased, the robe's attributes and effect bonuses would also increase.

The basic attributes were a given.

If those two effects could also improve, it would undoubtedly be top-tier for Ye Xiao.

Especially Effect Two, which reduced Physical Damage by 20%.

This was practically a permanent damage reduction shield.

If it had 20% Physical Damage reduction at Level 90, what about Level 150, Level 200, or even Level 300?

Would it become 100%?

Ye Xiao's heart began to anticipate.
