Fiery Sunset Leather Leg Guards! A Torturous Legacy!

After reaching level 20.

It was equivalent to moving up another step.

The difficulty of leveling up increased by 20% compared to before level 20.

At this point, if you want to level up efficiently.

You must find places where monsters spawn incredibly fast and gather in large numbers!

These are what are commonly known as prime leveling spots!

Only by going to dedicated leveling spots to farm monsters.

Can you level up the fastest!

Trying to level up while exploring or doing quests in the usual way.

It's very difficult to achieve both.

Ye Xingyu was naturally well aware of this.

The main purpose of this secret realm exploration was for the hidden profession.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to leveling speed.

After the guardian beast's spirit died, it dropped several pieces of equipment and a large stack of gold coins.

Ye Xingyu stepped forward and collected them.

Gold coins + 520!

Among the equipment, only one piece looked good.

It emitted a dazzling silver glow.

The rest were all below silver grade.

After all, this place was not like an event dungeon with a double drop rate bonus.

And the guardian beast was just an ordinary boss.

Even the drop rate for gold artifacts was very low.

"The attributes of these silver artifact pants are quite low!"

Perhaps it was because the equipment Ye Xingyu owned was too good.

The effects of a mere silver artifact.

Were truly not worth looking at.

He waved his hand without hesitation.

"Hahaha! (*╹▽╹*) This is the difference between gold artifacts and silver artifacts!"

"An instant qualitative change!"

This was also why, in the later stages of his previous life.

The average price of gold artifacts was at least three times that of silver artifacts!

From silver artifact to gold artifact was undoubtedly a qualitative change.

Ye Xingyu contentedly put away the Scorching Sunset Leather Leggings.

He would be able to wear them after he reached level 24.

Currently, he already had two pieces of gold-grade or higher equipment for level 24 stored in his backpack.

He couldn't wear them because his level hadn't reached the requirement.

This suddenly gave him the idea of rushing to level up!

However.

The most crucial thing right now.

Was the inheritance of the Fire Worshipper Archer!

Immediately.

Ye Xingyu looked at the fire trough in front of him.

A huge longbow was being tempered in the blazing fire!

Now.

All enemies had been cleared by Ye Xingyu.

Thus, it was time for the final step!

Ye Xingyu strode forward.

The reddish flames flickered erratically.

Many sparks and embers even splashed onto Ye Xingyu's face.

Illuminating his entire face with a red glow.

Extreme high temperature also rushed towards him.

Ye Xingyu's face, and his entire body's skin.

All felt the scorching hot wave!

This feeling.

It was as if his whole body had personally entered the Flaming Mountain!

It was getting hotter and hotter around him!

"Alright! This final step is clearly to retrieve the giant bow from the fire trough. It's like snatching chestnuts from the fire."

"I must lift it from the fire trough to be considered as having accepted the Fire Worshipper Archer's inheritance."

Thinking of this.

Ye Xingyu no longer delayed.

He directly reached his empty hands into the burning flames.

Immediately.

He grabbed both sides of the giant bow.

"Ha!"

"So hot!"

As soon as his hands touched it.

Ye Xingyu's expression involuntarily twisted, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Thinking about it was one thing.

Actually doing it was another.

Directly touching the boiling flames.

Still caused involuntary intense pain!

"Endure it!"

Ye Xingyu made up his mind and gave himself a death order.

He mustered all his strength to pull and lift the giant bow upwards!

Crimson flames burned on his hands!

Endless sparks and embers burned on his chest, in front of him, and on his face!

Ye Xingyu endured the burning pain.

And firmly lifted the giant bow!

The giant bow itself was very heavy!

According to Ye Xingyu's current estimate.

It weighed at least over 400 catties!

Meaning, without a strength attribute of 400 or more—it would be impossible to lift!

In his previous life, Jian Ran Fanqiu came to receive the inheritance at level 30.

According to his recollection, the class change process was also very arduous and full of pain.

If he hadn't possessed a set of high-level equipment.

It would probably have been very difficult!

Now.

Ye Xingyu also experienced this feeling.

Waves of heat seemed to cling to his face, his chest... everywhere.

The extreme high temperature roasted his face hot.

And there was an incomparably intense burning pain!

As if ten million ants were relentlessly burrowing into his body!

"Hot!"

"Spicy!"

"hot!"

Ye Xingyu felt as if his entire body was in a brazier!

But he stabilized his stance, his hands tightly gripping both sides of the giant bow.

Continuously lifting it upwards!

His waist, legs, and shoulders exerted force together!

Enduring the immense heat.

He gradually focused all his thoughts on the giant bow.

Under Ye Xingyu's full and persistent effort.

The giant bow finally, as expected, emerged from the fire trough section by section.

And as time went on.

Ye Xingyu gradually began to adapt to the high temperature around his body.

That scorching hot sensation.

Slowly became less likely to affect him.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!"

"Only two inches left!"

Ye Xingyu's whole body was immersed in the blazing fire.

His eyes and eyebrows seemed to be burning.

But his gaze and all his attention.

Were entirely focused on the giant bow below!

When he saw that only two inches of the giant bow's tail remained.

Before it would completely leave the fire trough.

Ye Xingyu felt as if his entire being suddenly ignited!

Suddenly, an incomparably savage immense strength surged in both his hands and his heart!

"Ah ya!"

"Get up for me!!"

Ye Xingyu reached out!

And lifted the incomparably massive giant bow onto his shoulder in one breath!

The giant bow instantly rose from the ground!

Even its very bottom completely detached from the fire trough.

"Buzz~~~~~~"

In an instant.

All the blazing fire in the fire trough.

Surged and enveloped Ye Xingyu's entire body.

Completely covering him!

Turning Ye Xingyu into a man of fire!

"Ding-dong! You have been recognized by the Ancient Fire Worshipper's Soul! The inheritance of the Fire Worshipper Archer is about to be bestowed upon you. Do you wish to accept it?"

"Once accepted, you will immediately change to the hidden profession — Fire Worshipper Archer! This action cannot be undone!"

"Please choose carefully!"
