Chapter 41: Chapter 41: S-Class Talent, Wide Area Spellcasting!
[First-ever ’Black Stone Mine (Abyss)’ SSS-Class clearance, team rating SSS-Class, individual ranked 1st this time, awarded special item ’Ring of Truth (Golden)’]
"Got it!"
Lin Ye’s brow showed a hint of joy.
The Ring of Truth!
This professional divine artifact that Lin Ye coveted for a long time in his past life has finally been obtained!
...
Name: Ring of Truth (Refinable, Distance to Quality Upgrade: 0/30)
Type: Ring (Golden)
Equipment Requirement: None (Already bound)
Attribute 1: Gain an additional 5 points of free attribute upon leveling up
Attribute 2: Obtain skill ’Eye of Truth’, the next attack damage increases tenfold when activated, cooldown 10 hours (up to 1 million damage)
Description: The treasure pearl on the ring is said to be the eyeball of a demon, capable of seeing through enemy weaknesses
...
Few people know about this ring because it can only be obtained by getting an SSS-Class rating in those Secret Realms with hidden modes for the first time, and having the highest personal score.
The sooner you get it, the better!
Because the first attribute of this ring allows you to gain an additional 5 points of free attribute every time you level up.
This attribute is immensely attractive to any Professional!
extra free attributes are way overpowered, equivalent to leveling up once having the effect of someone leveling up twice!
So getting this ring early on means you’re boosting your combat power at twice the speed of your peers right from the start.
However, to Lin Ye, those 5 free attribute points now seem less valuable than the second attribute.
Tenfold damage!
That’s a tenfold increase after calculating spell strength or attack strength!
If Lin Ye activates the ’Rage Wave Staff’ effect, and then the tenfold damage of ’Eye of Truth’, the final damage value will be 100 times the base spell damage!
Those numbers would obviously be quite terrifying.
Of course, this attribute has additional limitations; although it’s said to have a tenfold increase, the actual maximum damage can’t exceed 1 million.
But consider this: many people might never reach the upper limit of this attribute in their lifetime!
So this attribute 2 is still extremely overpowered, especially for beginners—it’s like cutting through gods, cutting through Buddhas.
But all these are just fleeting clouds now...
The most astonishing thing to Lin Ye is that this ring can still be refined!
Above golden quality... could it be a Divine Artifact?
Lin Ye thought refining to the golden level was the end.
Unexpectedly, after reaching the golden level, it can still be refined!
"A golden quality piece of equipment requires 1000 Spiritual Essence for one refinement, and needs to be refined 30 times for an upgrade..."
Lin Ye checked slightly.
This means consuming a total of 30,000 Spiritual Essences to upgrade a golden equipment to Divine Artifact level!
The consumption is somewhat ludicrous.
But it’s not unachievable, and compared to obtaining Divine Artifact-level equipment through other channels, collecting Spiritual Essence is not that difficult.
Aside from Lin Ye, others have also received their corresponding rewards.
"My achievement reward is a purple ring! Can deal 3x damage! A rare gem!" Han Dong exclaimed excitedly.
He ranked 4th in the team, even behind An Xinmeng by one rank.
Because his output was really not high.
Though An Xinmeng’s Spiky Aura dealt low damage, it hit all targets at once, resulting in cumulative damage that was even higher than Li Fei’s.
However, her other comprehensive evaluations weren’t as good as Li Fei’s, ranking her 3rd.
"Me too!"
An Xinmeng was also slightly excited but seemed to realize something, lamenting, "But I don’t seem to have any output capabilities either..."
As an Aura Master, she indeed doesn’t have much output space.
Not every team can be as outrageous under Lin Ye’s leadership, allowing her to recklessly activate the Spiky Aura and play around freely.
"Work on leveling up, transition to Array Master after Level 30, and this ring will serve you until Level 70 or 80 without becoming outdated," Lin Ye said.
An Array Master with a 3x damage ring and a spell range enhancement talent...
Lin Ye couldn’t imagine how violent An Xinmeng would become in the future.
A small array in her hands might turn into a massive offensive array.
Hearing about becoming an Array Master, An Xinmeng’s eyes sparkled: "How did you know I wanted to transition to an Array Master?"
Lin Ye smiled slightly...
Isn’t every Aura Master dreaming of becoming an Array Master that they chose this unlucky career?
But reality is harsh, not everyone has the qualification to transition.
But An Xinmeng does.
As long as she can get into college, someone will surely discover her talent and guide her on the right track.
Because the talent to enhance spell range is so strong, Lin Ye couldn’t help glancing at his attribute panel.
[Wide Area Spellcasting (S-Class): Your spell range can increase up to 10 times, but for every meter beyond the skill’s original spellcasting range, 1 point of mana is consumed additionally]
This talent is extremely friendly to Mages.
The only downside is the massive increase in mana consumption.
But it’s not an issue for Lin Ye!
"Alright, that’s enough for today. I need to handle my own affairs, dismissed!"
Lin Ye said calmly.
After five and more hours of high-intensity combat in Black Stone Mine, Han Dong and the others were utterly exhausted.
Lin Ye had no intention of continuing to explore Secret Realms with them and let them leave the team to rest.
"Boss! Really hoping for another chance to explore Secret Realms with you..." Han Dong said somewhat regretfully upon hearing Lin Ye dismiss the team.
Though impetuous, he understood...
Such opportunities might be rare to come by again.
"Yeah! Following Lin Ye and freely activating Auras is so leisurely!" An Xinmeng sighed too.
Their expressions made everyone laugh.
"As long as you keep up with the leveling pace, there will always be opportunities..." Lin Ye hinted.
He had forgotten the exact time, but it was roughly within these ten days that a Level 10 Anomalous Spatial Rift riot would break out at the Shan City settlement.
By then, every Professional between Level 5 to 10 in Shan City settlement would be urgently summoned to quell the riot in the Alternate Space.
So, if they can’t maintain their leveling pace, it might be dangerous for them by then.
Their level has already reached the draft threshold.
At least upgrading to Level 8 gives a higher survival chance in this riot.
Otherwise, they must swiftly exceed Level 10 to avoid being summoned.
While Lin Ye’s goal was more long-term...
He was planning to seize the opportunity Su Yaoyao obtained from this riot for himself!
...
"How did he achieve this?"
Su Yaoyao had just come out of the bureau and saw the information about Lin Ye flooding screens everywhere, almost causing her to faint.
The resentment from these days had thoroughly twisted her.
Especially this time, being publicly taken away by the investigation department, making her feel immensely humiliated.
"Yaoyao, what’s wrong? Feeling unwell?"
At this moment, a boy beside her spoke, showing concern.
