152: Candle Soul Bow, Soul Power

“Not even 300 million?”

Lin Ye saw the combat power ranking, as surprised as everyone else.

???

“What do you mean… not even 300 million?”

Bai Shuya and the others widened their eyes.

“300 million is already insane, alright? A lot of 5th-turn Saints on the leaderboard haven’t even broken 100 million yet~”

“My god, you should look at the Empire’s leaderboard!”

“Your combat power alone is almost more than the top ten experts combined.”

Yan Yan’s eyes flashed: “Cough cough, correction, it’s not ‘almost’, it’s ‘already more than the top ten experts combined’!”

Ah?

Bai Shuya was instantly stunned.

“He… he’s only been playing for a few days, and his combat power alone exceeds the total of the top ten experts?”

Lin Ye closed the ranking and explained:

“Logically, I think it should be around 500 million. Perhaps some equipment wasn't scanned?”

Ancient-tier, whether equipment or skills, counts as 100 million combat power.

The time-space core, the Candle Soul Flame.

That’s already 200 million.

Even if the Star Devouring Ring doesn’t count, the other attributes combined should be more than 90 million, right?

Therefore.

The Star Devouring Ring definitely wasn’t counted as combat equipment; it’s a storage ring.

The time-space core likely wasn't counted either, because it’s something beyond the current equipment system, capable of completely overlaying another piece of equipment.

If everything were fully counted, the combat power would definitely be around 500 million.

And this.

This was still Lin Ye returning in a hurry, not yet having time to consider improvements.

Just speaking of the several Ancient-tier Candle Soul series equipment, once replaced, it’s an immediate boost of four to five hundred million.

Plus that ring brought back from the battlefield a thousand years ago.

You know.

The spoils of war inside were all obtained by killing the demon army. Even if there were no Ancient-tier items from killing demon kings, after a hundredfold increase, there must be quite a few Epic-tier items, and Mythic-tier might even exist.

When all the equipment is replaced and gems are inlaid, he should basically be able to break the 1 billion mark, right?

“500 million?”

Bai Shuya and the others looked at him in disbelief.

“So… so the system even underestimated your combat power?”

Lin Ye rolled his eyes: “Isn’t that obvious? How could mere numbers reflect my combat power?”

Really or fake?

Bai Shuya was completely dumbfounded.

“What level of combat power is it that even 500 million can’t reflect?”

Lin Ye didn't say much and directly called the Moon Queen over.

“Enchant these pieces of equipment for me, the strongest kind.”

The Moon Queen nodded gently: “Enchanting is no problem, but this kind of enchantment requires a large amount of lifespan and magic power each time. I have potions here, but I need some star coins.”

Star Tower is fair to all.

No matter who you are, or how many turns you’ve completed, eternal healing is 1000 star coins.

Tsk tsk~

He really brought down the price of eternal life!

Lin Ye hadn't paid attention before, but now that he thought about it, it was really cheap.

Candle Soul Flame Damage increased by 400%

Additional Status: Soul Combustion

(When attacking with Candle Soul Flame, there is a 20% chance to deal 5 times damage, lasts 10 seconds, cooldown 60 seconds, consumes Dark Core x1)

......

“Level 120 requirement, directly usable!”

Lin Ye thought to himself.

Just for this one enchantment, who could say they don't love the Moon Queen?

Looking at this bow again.

Lin Ye already understood why so many Saints died in the great war.

Physical damage 4 times converted to Hell Black Flame.

Then 8 times converted to Candle Soul Flame.

That’s already 32 times the physical damage!

The charm of pure numbers?

No!

It’s still to come.

Consuming a Dark Core, there’s a chance to deal 5 times damage.

Suppose.

If your physical damage is only 10,000, then as soon as you pick up this weapon, you can immediately deal over 300,000 damage, and occasionally even burst out 1.5 million damage.

And this.

This doesn’t even count your critical hit rate and critical damage bonus.

Assuming full critical hits and 5 times critical damage.

A base physical damage of 10,000 could potentially deal 10 million output.

Hiss~

Terrifying!

Even without this weapon, Lin Ye’s physical damage steadily exceeded 10 million.

Once the weapon is equipped.

The damage immediately becomes three to four hundred million.

Even more terrifying is.

When Lin Ye activates his Chronal Eye, he’s close to full critical hits. After activating Soul Combustion, he can easily deal over a billion damage.

If he further increases critical damage later…

Tsk~

Ten billion damage is not a dream!

The key is, this is just a single basic attack.

What about with skills?

What do you say?

Is ten billion hard?

What about with Ultimate Arrow?

Ha~

Even a hundred billion isn't a dream, right?

A hundred billion…

Hiss!

Exciting~

“Oh right, there’s another Candle Soul equipment?” Lin Ye almost forgot in his excitement.

[Candle Soul Ring]

Quality: Ancient

Durability: 30000

Requirement: Level 400 (Requirement reduced by 70%, usable at Level 120)

Candle Soul Flame constantly burns your soul

When your soul is burned by Candle Soul Flame, your control over Candle Soul Flame becomes extraordinary (equivalent to skill proficiency Level 40)

Burning caused by Candle Soul Flame, abnormal effect increased by 400%

Burning caused by Candle Soul Flame, effectiveness speed increased by 400%

Enemies critically hit by Candle Soul Flame will suffer Candle Soul Pain for the next 10 seconds (total burning damage received increased by 40%)

Your hits will definitely cause Candle Soul Flame ignition, enemies will suffer Soul Fragility for the next 10 seconds (total Candle Soul Flame damage received increased by 40%)

Your soul ability is totally increased by 400%, and will slowly increase amidst the burning of Candle Soul Flame (increases 1% daily)

“Perverted!”

“A single hit’s damage is already absurd enough, and it even causes burning?”

Lin Ye felt his scalp tingle just looking at it.

If this arrow hit someone, it would really hurt, right?

Abnormal effect increased by 4 times.

Equivalent to the soul’s pain level increasing fourfold, and damage also fourfold.

The key is…

The effectiveness speed is also 4 times faster.

The burning damage of ordinary flames over 4 seconds, this will burn it all down in 1 second.

“Pain~”

“Too painful!”

As soon as Lin Ye put on the ring, he was immediately burned by the Candle Soul Flame and instantly wanted to take it off.

But…

This ring not only increases damage, but more importantly, it can also enhance the soul!

In eternal.

There are many incredible abilities.

Space?

That’s considered common.

Time, that’s the truly magical ability.

But there are others.

Such as prophecy.

Such as soul!

What Lin Ye currently needs most is soul-related power, because he might soon face soul binding.

This ring provides 4 times the soul strength.

Once binding is activated.

Then Lin Ye’s soul in reality can also synchronize with this improvement.

More importantly, as long as this ring is worn daily, it can continuously increase soul power.

1%.

The numerical value isn’t much.

But this is the soul.

A soul that improves every day, how powerful would that be?

At that time, that Candle Soul Demon King, relying solely on his archery, didn't know how many Saints he had killed.

Lin Ye now thinks, it was fortunate that he had time-space ability, directly ambushing and instantly killing him, giving him no chance to retaliate.

Otherwise…
