Flaming Arrow of Annihilation!

Silver Dragon Village, Goblin Forest.

Chen Ming was currently checking the loot from killing the Golden Goblin.

[Boss Chest] (black iron grade)

[Description: A treasure chest with extremely generous rewards.]

Nothing more to say, activate Talent Enhancement.

With a thought from Chen Ming, a faint light landed on top of the treasure chest.

The originally black treasure chest instantly turned gold.

[Ding! You have used your Forbidden Talent on the target [Boss Chest], obtaining a rank-two upgrade.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the item — Boss Chest (silver grade).]

[Ding! You have activated your Forbidden Talent on the target [Boss Chest], successfully enchanting it with a blue suffix — Promotion.]

[Promotion (Blue): Increases the target's quality by one rank.]

...

"It turned directly into gold grade!"

Chen Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the treasure chest.

[You have opened the Boss Chest (gold grade).]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the equipment — Radiant Silver Armor (gold grade).]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the skill scroll — Explosive Flame Arrow (gold grade).]

[Radiant Silver Armor]

[Quality: gold grade.]

[Level: 4.]

[Durability: 300/300 points.]

[Physical Defense: +35 points.]

[Magic Defense: +35 points.]

[Special Effect 1: Dark Attribute Resistance +8%.]

[Special Effect 2: When your health is below 50%, gain an additional 30 points of Physical/Magic Defense.]

[Description: A reward bestowed by the Church of Light to its most devout believers.]

...

"Continue!"

By further strengthening gold grade equipment, it was guaranteed to at least become Platinum-grade.

Even in the late game, Platinum-grade equipment was a very rare existence, with a market price around six figures.

[Ding! You have activated your Forbidden Talent on the target [Radiant Silver Armor], obtaining a rank-one upgrade.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the equipment — Armor of Holy Light (Platinum-grade).]

[Ding! You have activated your Forbidden Talent on the target [Radiant Silver Armor], successfully adding a purple suffix — Thorns.]

[Armor of Holy Light]

[Quality: Platinum-grade.]

[Level: 4.]

[Durability: 450/450 points.]

[Physical Defense: +60 points.]

[Magic Defense: +60 points.]

[Special Effect 1: Dark Attribute Resistance +20%.]

[Special Effect 2: When your health is below 50%, gain an additional 50 points of Physical/Magic Defense.]

[Special Effect 3: When your health falls below 10% for the first time, immediately recover 2000 health points.]

[Added Suffix: Thorns (Purple): Reflects 30% of all damage received back to the attacker.]

[Description: The ultimate light, dispelling all evil and darkness.]

...

The effects of Platinum-grade equipment went without saying; in the early stages of the game, it was absolutely the best of the best.

Even if an ordinary player wore this equipment, they could instantly transform into a top-tier front-line tank for the current stage.

He decisively put it on.

Chen Ming picked up the remaining skill scroll to examine it.

[Explosive Flame Arrow Skill Scroll]

[Quality: gold grade.]

[Effect: After use, obtain the skill — Explosive Flame Arrow.]

[Explosive Flame Arrow: Fires a fire-attribute magic arrow, dealing Physical Attack x200% physical damage + Magic Attack x120% magic damage to enemies.]

...

This skill came at just the right time; Chen Ming currently lacked a burst skill.

Explosive Flame Arrow could perfectly compensate for his weakness.

Decisively strengthen and enchant.

[Ding! You have activated your Forbidden Talent on the target [Explosive Flame Arrow], obtaining a rank-three upgrade.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the skill scroll — Flame Incineration World-Ending Arrow.]

[Ding! You have activated your Forbidden Talent on the target [Explosive Flame Arrow], successfully enchanting it with a purple suffix: Balrog.]

"It went straight to Epic-grade!"

Chen Ming's eyes lit up.

Epic-grade skills were extremely rare even in the late game.

Any Epic-grade skill scroll would have a market price exceeding nine figures.

Moreover, that was just the market price; normally, Epic-grade skill scrolls almost never appeared on the market, as most were firmly controlled by major top guilds—you couldn't buy them even with money.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming decisively crushed the scroll in his hand.

[You have successfully learned the skill — Flame Incineration World-Ending Arrow (Epic-grade)]

[Flame Incineration World-Ending Arrow Lv1 (Epic-grade): Fires a fire-attribute magic arrow condensed from the Laws of Fire, dealing Physical Attack x700% physical damage + Magic Attack x500% magic damage to enemies, ignoring 50% of the enemy's Physical/Magic Defense and 50% of their Fire Attribute Resistance.]

[Added Suffix: Balrog (Purple): Inflicts a Burn state on the enemy, deducting 1% of the enemy's maximum health every second for 10 seconds.]

[Skill Cooldown: 30 minutes.]

[Consumption: 1000 Mana points.]

...

Violent!

The damage output of Flame Incineration World-Ending Arrow could only be described as violent.

The added suffix was also quite explosive.

1% maximum health damage per second for 10 seconds.

With one arrow, just this passive effect alone would take away one-tenth of an enemy's health.

"If I encounter another Golden Goblin, one arrow would probably leave it with only a sliver of health."

"The only downside is that the cooldown is too long."

"But it's not a big deal. If I remember correctly, there's a hidden quest in the Novice Village that rewards a Skill Cooldown Stone, which can reduce skill cooldowns to a certain extent."

Muttering softly, Chen Ming was in a great mood.

"Awoo!"

Just then, the Ice Emperor Wolf King walked over, carrying the drops from the Golden Goblin's death in its mouth.

The ice-blue wolf head rubbed affectionately against Chen Ming's legs.

"Good job!"

Chen Ming patted its head as a reward.

With the support of the suffix [Infinite Growth], after devouring the Golden Goblin's corpse, the Ice Emperor Wolf King's attributes had also surged significantly.

[Your summon [Ice Emperor Wolf King] has devoured [Golden Goblin], stamina +20 points, Bloodline Growth +1%.]

Looking at the prompt before him, Chen Ming opened the Ice Emperor Wolf King's attribute info to check.

[Ice Emperor Wolf King]

[Level: 4 (Consistent with the summoner's level).]

[Bloodline Growth: 1% (Can evolve upon reaching 100%)]

[Ice Emperor Wolf King Bloodline: Max HP +2000 points, Physical/Magic Attack +50 points, all ice-attribute skill damage permanently increased by 100%, attacks carry Magic Attack x20% ice-attribute magic damage.]

[Health: 4400/4400 points.]

[Strength: 80 points.]

[intelligence: 85 points.]

[Agility: 80 points.]

[stamina: 120 points.]

[Spirit: 80 points.]

[Physical Attack: 210 points.]

[Magic Attack: 220 points.]

[Description: The absolute monarch of the polar ice regions!]
