234: Chapter 235 Equipment Allocation

Watching the pair of sisters, Mo Mingxue and Mo Yingmei, cleanly and efficiently slay the Icefield Demon Wolf King—especially under the suppression of Lin Muyang's God-Tier Aura, which allowed their own talents and combat instincts to be displayed to the fullest—a look of approval appeared in Lin Muyang's eyes. In just a short clash, several eye-catching, high damage numbers erupted consecutively above the massive Wolf King's head. For them, whose levels had not yet fully matured and who only possessed s-rank talents, this was already an exceptionally outstanding achievement.

Clearly, they had not only inherited excellent combat intuition, but the latent bloodline power within their bodies also granted them some unknown special abilities that could passively increase damage. Otherwise, even with the support of Lin Muyang's powerful Aura, slaying a Level 92 legendary-grade creature so easily would never have been this swift. After all, this was their first battle since being summoned to this world. Whether it was the elder sister Mo Mingxue, with her resilient and sharp personality, or the seemingly lively but equally competitive younger sister Mo Yingmei, they both had a drive deep within their hearts, longing to prove their value before their master and leave a deep impression.

However, when they saw that terrifying giant beast—which had once left the geniuses of Bear Country and various other nations frustrated and unable to defeat it after long attacks—actually collapse under their combined efforts, Mo Mingxue and Mo Yingmei felt more than just the joy of success; they felt a deep, unbelievable shock. In their original world, facing such a powerful legendary-grade magical beast, let alone fighting it, they would have had almost no chance of even escaping. Especially in this ice field environment that favored the opponent, it would have been an absolutely hopeless situation with certain death. But now...

They looked down at the legendary-grade weapons in their hands, which were flowing with radiance, feeling the surging, majestic power within their bodies that far exceeded their own level limits, as well as that invisible Aura that was effective at all times, bringing a terrifying all-around boost... All of this originated from that young and unfathomable master.

"We... really did it?" Mo Yingmei lowered the longbow in her hand, looking at the giant wolf's corpse lying dead in the distance, still feeling as if she were in a dream.

"It is the power bestowed by the master." Mo Mingxue took a deep breath of the icy air, suppressing the agitation in her heart, but her hands holding the dual blades trembled slightly, betraying her inner turmoil. The impact of this leap in power, along with infinite longing for the future, made even this usually strong elder-sister figure feel her heart surge with emotion.

"Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?" After the brief shock, Mo Mingxue quickly calmed her emotions and, following Lin Muyang's previous instructions, stepped forward to check the BOSS's drops. When she picked up a fang-shaped claw gauntlet emitting a rich dark-red glow from beside the gradually dissipating corpse of the Icefield Demon Wolf King, astonishment surfaced on her face again. This was actually a mythic grade piece of equipment! The boss of a legendary-rank secret realm had actually dropped a mythic grade item? This was clearly the result of the master's incredible luck or perhaps some special ability at work.

And that wasn't all.

Lin Muyang simply raised his hand casually and made a grasping motion toward the wolf king's corpse. Several ripples of a grey Aura with a strange rhythm, which were difficult for others to detect, instantly swept across the massive wolf carcass. Immediately afterward, a jaw-dropping scene occurred—three dark-red pillars of light, far more dazzling than before and carrying a blend of sacred and destructive Auras, shot up into the sky one after another from the corpse! Each pillar of light enveloped an item that emitted heart-palpitating fluctuations!

Three! Another three mythic grade spoils of war!

With a slight thought from Lin Muyang, those three items turned into streaks of light and flew into his hand. Combined with the claw-shaped gauntlet Mo Mingxue had picked up, a single gatekeeper BOSS had contributed four mythic grade treasures! If this drop rate were to get out, it would be enough to drive Class Transferees all over the world mad.

"Master has even more miraculous things in store." To the side, the Succubus Maiden Elabess swayed her water-snake-like waist and walked up to the still-dazed Mo Mingxue. She naturally took the mythic grade claw gauntlet from her hand while leaning in close to her ear, breathing like orchids, and whispering with a hint of mischievous laughter in a voice only the two of them could hear: "In the future, you'll find out that Master's prowess goes far beyond just combat and treasure hunting~"

"Eh?" Mo Mingxue was stunned at first, but then she caught the ambiguous subtext in Elabess's words, and two clouds of red instantly flew onto her fair, pretty face. Although she had a strong personality, she was as pure as a blank sheet of paper when it came to matters between men and women. She quietly looked up, stealing a quick glance at Lin Muyang, who was looking down at the spoils. Light fell on his well-defined profile, and his focused expression carried a unique charm.

"To be summoned by such a master... it truly is a blessing we've earned over several lifetimes." This thought involuntarily surfaced in Mo Mingxue's heart. She couldn't help but think of the snippets of conversation she had heard while chatting with the other young ladies—it was said that when Gui Wanwan's ability was sufficient, she could take everyone through different worlds. At that time, would she have the chance to return to that homeland full of war and sorrow, to settle the blood debt with those enemies who once oppressed her kin and whose hands were stained with the blood of her ancestors? This thought made her gaze instantly become sharp and determined.

By now, Lin Muyang had finished counting the four mythic grade treasures in his hand: an ice-silk dharma robe emitting a freezing Aura, an ancient longsword pulsating with frigid sword intent, a heavy and ancient dark-blue heavy armor that seemed to carry ten thousand years of cold ice, and the dark-red metal gauntlet Mo Mingxue had picked up, shaped like a wolf's claw with sharp fingertips and permeated with a bloody and wild Aura. Besides these, there were also three skill books emitting glows of different elemental fluctuations.

"Come, time to distribute the loot." With a smile on his face, Lin Muyang beckoned the young ladies who had gathered around, first looking at the Elf Princess with the most sacred and gentle temperament, "Lilia, this 'Ice Proverb Robe' is yours. Come and try it on."

Hearing this, a light of pleasant surprise instantly blossomed in Lilia's lake-blue eyes. Like a cheerful little deer, she ran lightly to Lin Muyang and took the ice-silk dharma robe with both hands. The robe felt cool and soft to the touch, with an excellent texture. It was moon-white throughout, but upon closer inspection, one could see countless fine silver threads, like natural ice crystal patterns, woven into profound runes. She changed into it on the spot.

The moon-white ice-silk dharma robe fit Lilia perfectly, beautifully accentuating her shapely yet sacred figure. The hem of the robe reached her knees, revealing two straight, fair, and perfectly curved calves. The wide cuffs and collar were decorated with light blue ice crystal patterns, adding a few hints of cool, ethereal Aura to her. Her already sacred and empty-spiritual temperament now gained a bit of awe-inspiring majesty, as if she were a goddess of ice and snow walking the mortal world.

Lin Muyang couldn't help but take a few extra looks, praising her in his heart. This 'Ice Proverb Robe' was not only exquisite in appearance, but its attributes were also powerful. It greatly increased Lilia's spirit attribute, mana limit, and the effects of ice-type skills. And its attached active effect, [Ice Storm], was practically a god-tier skill—it summoned a wide-reaching blizzard that continuously dealt mixed damage based on Lilia's spirit attribute to enemies within range, with a high probability of slowing and freezing them. At the same time, all allied units within the blizzard's range would have additional ice damage added to their attacks.

This meant that once Lilia activated this skill, she would instantly transform into a mobile super crowd-control and buff core. Imagine, on top of Lin Muyang's terrifying enhancement Aura, stacking such a large-scale area damage boost and strong control field... Even a Nation-Guarding Level Expert would probably have to temporarily avoid her edge and not dare to easily fall into it.

After all, this Elf Princess had always dreamed of being a damage dealer.

"It suits you well," Lin Muyang commented with a smile. Hearing this, Lilia's pretty face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head bashfully, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop curling upward, clearly loving this new garment to the extreme.

Next, Lin Muyang picked up that ancient longsword. The blade was about four feet long, presenting a strange silver-grey color throughout. It didn't have a metallic luster; instead, it looked more like the polished bone of some ancient creature. The spine of the blade was straight, and the edges on both sides were not sharpened but were covered with sharp protrusions as fine as shark teeth. The entire sword emitted a primal ferocity and a deep chill. The hilt was wrapped in unknown black leather, providing an excellent grip.

"Fang of the Mystic Weapon..." Lin Muyang read out the name of the longsword, feeling the majestic power contained within. He turned his gaze toward the dragon girl Ao Qingyan, who was as cool as the moon and dressed in white, "Qingyan, you are skilled in sword techniques, and this sword is a perfect match for your affinity. Catch."

When Ao Qingyan's cool eyes landed on the 'Fang of the Mystic Weapon', they brightened slightly. She could clearly feel the resonance between this sword and the dragon bloodline within her body, especially the artistic conception of combined ferocity and coldness contained within, which fit her combat style quite well. Moving with graceful steps, she stepped forward and took the longsword with both hands.

"Thank... Thank you, Master." Ao Qingyan's voice was still cool, but a careful person could hear a trace of barely detectable fluctuation in it. With her cold personality, being able to take the initiative to call him 'Master' was already not easy. She lightly stroked the blade, the cool sensation traveling through her fingertips, as if it could connect with her mind.

"We're family, no need to be polite." Lin Muyang waved his hand, completely unconcerned. He had long regarded these young ladies around him as his closest partners and family.

The attributes of the 'Fang of the Mystic Weapon' were nothing short of overbearing. First, its base attack power was ridiculously high, and it came with extremely high strength and agility bonuses. Effect 1: [Frost Bite]—every successful hit on a target adds massive ice damage and has a high chance (based on the difference between one's own agility and the target's agility) to trigger a 'Deep Freeze' effect, significantly slowing or even directly freezing the enemy. Effect 2: [Violent Storm]—attack speed increased by 999%! Nearly a tenfold attack speed bonus! Effect 3: [Ice Heart]—cooldown reduction of 75%!

What did this mean? It meant that Ao Qingyan, equipped with the 'Fang of the Mystic Weapon', even without transforming into her divine dragon form, could rely on her normal attacks in human form to turn into a desperate blade storm with nearly ten times the attack speed! If Deep Freeze was triggered, the enemy would find it even harder to move an inch.

And the 75% cooldown reduction, combined with Lin Muyang's Infinite Firepower God-Tier Aura, could almost make all her skills enter a state of zero or extremely short cooldown! Imagine various powerful dragon-language magic and talent combat techniques in dragon form being poured out like normal attacks... That scene would be enough to make any opponent feel despair. It could be said that with this sword, Ao Qingyan's personal combat power would undergo a qualitative leap. Even facing an old-school Nation-Guarding Level, she would have the capital to fight or even emerge victorious!

Finally, Lin Muyang's gaze fell on that dark-blue heavy armor, which seemed carved entirely from ten-thousand-year mystic ice, and that dark-red, ferocious-looking metal gauntlet.

"Ancient Ice Field Divine Armor..." Lin Muyang picked up the heavy armor. It felt cool and heavy in his hand, but strangely it wasn't cumbersome; instead, it had a sense of agility. The armor was covered in ancient frost patterns, as if recording the epic of some lost ice field civilization. This was actually a defense-oriented mythic grade plate armor, with attribute bonuses heavily biased toward defense and strength. The health, armor, and magic resistance bonuses were frighteningly high.

And its attached effect was a god-tier turtle-shell skill—[Eternal Frost Barrier]: The wearer automatically generates an ice shield equal to 10% of their maximum health every second. This shield can stack up to eighteen layers! While an ice shield exists, any attack launched against the wearer has a chance (based on the difference in strength attributes between the attacker and the wearer) to trigger Frost Backlash, freezing the attacker for a short time.

"This heavy armor goes to you, Mo Mingxue." Lin Muyang turned his gaze toward the black-armored elder sister who had just finished her battle, her face still flushed with excitement. "You are a melee fighter and need higher survivability. The defense and effects provided by this armor will allow you to stand more firmly on the battlefield."

Mo Mingxue's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward quickly, respectfully taking the 'Ancient Ice Field Divine Armor' with both hands. As she took the armor, a warm yet resilient sense of power came through. She tried equipping it. The dark-blue heavy armor covered her shapely body; far from looking bloated, it instead made her look like a valkyrie walking out of an ancient ice field, both heroic and sexy.

That effect of generating and stacking a shield every second meant that as long as she wasn't killed instantly, she could quickly obtain an additional shield equal to 180% of her own health! Combined with the 'Frost Backlash' effect, she was simply a melee nemesis. Although her base strength attribute wasn't the top among the girls, this mythic grade armor itself provided a base strength bonus of up to 20,000 points! Under the percentage increments of Lin Muyang's various Auras, the final effective strength value would reach a terrifying number, enough to make the vast majority of attackers face an extremely high risk of freezing!

"As for this..." Lin Muyang picked up the last dark-red metal gauntlet, "Blood Wolf's Final Bite." This should be a weapon for an assassin or brawler class that balanced attack and special effects. He looked at the young ladies around him; for now, there was no particularly suitable candidate. Mo Mingxue used dual blades, Lilia was magic-based, Qingyan used a sword, Ella used a whip, Gui Wanwan used a scythe, Daji used a magic orb, Mu Yao was an ice mage, Feng Ling was magic-based, Elena was support, and Alice was a mage and crowd-controller. "Let's keep it for now. Perhaps it'll be useful later, or it might be good as a secondary weapon for Mo Mingxue to switch to." Lin Muyang put it away for the time being.

Finally, there were the three skill books, which were powerful skills for the ice, shadow, and general systems respectively. Lin Muyang temporarily allocated them to the most suitable people for learning or as backups based on the young ladies' existing skill systems and needs.

"It's a pity your levels aren't high enough right now. Even if you wear mythic grade equipment, the attributes can't be fully activated." Lin Muyang looked at the young ladies who were jumping for joy because they had obtained new equipment and said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter. This secret realm's experience is very rich. After all, it's a 40-person scale legendary team dungeon. Although the small mobs have been cleared, there are still ten BOSSes waiting behind."
