Chapter 103: The Legendary Set Is Complete! Open Up, Neighborhood Support Is Here to Spread Some Warmth!
This latest freezing attack made it clear that the Fox Immortal’s control over immortal arts had become increasingly refined.
She could even precisely control the skill’s area now.
That saved Ye Ze quite a bit of trouble, and he immediately started snatching equipment together with the squirrel.
Meanwhile, Yi Xing, the Sword Saint, was still standing there in a daze. He was trying to figure out how the Fox Immortal had dragged those people back.
To control mental power to that degree, if she were a Spiritual Mentalist, she would need to be at least fifth-rank to do it!
He could only feel that this six-tailed fox’s power system was completely different from theirs...But as for exactly how it was different, he could not put it into words for the moment.
Seeing this, Liu Anran could not help pursing her lips... How had Ye Ze gotten stronger so fast? Damn it!
Naturally, Ye Ze could not hear her inner thoughts. He simply continued joyfully and swiftly looting equipment.
In the blink of an eye, twenty-four Epic pieces of equipment were in hand, along with one legendary item!
Ye Ze could not help feeling refreshed...Snatching equipment really was the fastest way!
Super Enhancement + Treasure Seizure + Copy was basically the ultimate plundering combo!
Once the equipment was secured, the Fox Immortal waved her little hand, and the ice crystals instantly shattered. The four people trapped inside the ice died so thoroughly that there was no room for doubt.
Only at that moment did the Sword Saint and the healer truly feel that they had survived a catastrophe.
Yi Xing, the Sword Saint, cupped his hands in thanks. “Many thanks, brother, for saving us.”
The girl with the Clearmind Miracle Healer class also stepped forward.
She had originally only known Liu Anran, having learned at headquarters that Liu Anran possessed the extremely rare Space Warlock class.
She had thought Liu Anran was already the unrivaled genius of this generation...Who would have thought there was someone even stronger!
So strong that even a Space Warlock had become a supporting role.
“Thank you for saving our lives. My name is Zhou Qi. Both of us are this year’s graduates of Longdu Martial University.”
Ye Ze returned the courtesy. “As long as you survived, that’s what matters. I’m Ye Ze, a third-year high school student at the War Academy.”
Third-year... high school student...Even though they had vaguely guessed his age already, hearing it confirmed still left the two of them deeply shaken.
A high school senior had come to participate in a myth-grade Secret Realm!
Thinking back to when they had been high school seniors, they had still been grinding levels desperately for the college entrance exam... Comparing people really did make one furious!
Seeing that both of them were badly injured, and that Zhou Qi had even completely run out of mana, Ye Ze tossed over two bottles of potion.
“Recover first. Then we’ll keep moving.”
“Potions!?” Yi Xing and Zhou Qi’s eyes widened instantly.
If their consumables had not been sealed, they might really have been able to keep fighting for several hundred more rounds.
“How do you even have—”
Ye Ze had no intention of explaining, so he brushed it off casually. “Just a small ability.”
Just as he was about to take the opportunity to feed Panda some equipment—
The Fox Immortal pitifully sidled over, looking as though all her vitality had drained away. “Master~ I want some too!”
“Huh?” Ye Ze froze for a moment, then looked at her attributes...Her mana had already dropped by two-thirds!
“Immortal arts consume that much mana?”
After mastering immortal arts, not only had their power increased, but their mana consumption had also clearly risen by a great deal!
That problem would have to be solved. Otherwise, prolonged battles would be a huge disadvantage... Thinking that, Ye Ze first gave her a bottle of High-Grade Mana Potion.
“Master is so good to me~” The Fox Immortal finished the potion in one go, and her condition improved considerably.
Ye Ze then sorted out the equipment he had snatched, making sure the ones that would produce legendary four-star drops were the ones fed to Panda.
Once seven pieces of equipment were fed to him...Unexpectedly, the very first thing that dropped was the final piece of the set!
【Swift as the Wind: Strength +20, Agility +100, Movement Speed +200%, ignores slowing effects.】
【Special Effect — When not in combat, ignores collision with units regardless of size. Set (6/6)】
With the final pair of shoes dropping out—
Panda had finally completed all six legendary set pieces!
Swift as the Wind (Shoes), Slow as the Forest (Belt), Fierce as Fire (Bracers), Immovable as a Mountain (Armor), Difficult as Shadow (Amulet), Move Like Thunder (Cloak).
【‘War of Armies’ Set Attributes】: 1. The base attributes of all set components are increased by 30%!
All equipped parts grow with the wearer’s level.
For every formal war victory won, each set component gains 1 star, with no upper limit.
————
In terms of attribute bonuses alone, thirty percent might not seem high, but the combined base attributes of six legendary pieces of equipment totaled 800 points, so the bonus came out to 240 total attributes!
That was equivalent to gaining the attributes of two extra legendary pieces of equipment for free!
With the full set bonus applied, Panda’s Agility directly broke through 950 points!
And moreover, the second and third set effects showed that the War of Armies set could continue growing. In the future, that percentage-based attribute bonus would only become even higher!
At that moment—
Everyone in the Secret Realm suddenly received a prompt on their map interface:
【Class User ‘Bell’ opens the first-layer exchange point of the Secret Realm!】
【At the exchange point, Lotus Petals can be spent to exchange for items. Quantity is limited.】
【Exchangeable items on the first layer: Fifth-Rank Advancement Pill, Selectable Legendary Equipment, Secret Realm Escape Talisman!】
“What? Someone from the Freedom Empire opened the exchange point!?” Yi Xing was greatly alarmed.
The items in the exchange point were exactly the objectives everyone had entered the Secret Realm for this time!
After seeing the first-layer exchange list, Ye Ze’s expression shifted immediately.
“If the first layer already has legendary equipment and a Fifth-Rank Advancement Pill, then wouldn’t the highest third layer have myth-grade items and seventh-rank advancement?”
An Advancement Pill could directly skip the advancement quest and allow someone to advance at the highest difficulty!
If the Secret Realm itself had not displayed the item, then Blue Star really had never seen such a thing before!
But Liu Anran immediately sensed trouble.
“This is bad. We need to move fast!”
“If someone from the Freedom Empire opens the exchange point first and manages to trade for the Fifth-Rank Advancement Pill, then finds a level-49 Class User and advances them to the fifth rank...”
“That would be an absolutely devastating blow to us!”
“That makes sense.” Ye Ze nodded. “At the moment, a fifth-rank really does pose some threat.”
“And if they exchange for an Escape Talisman, then I’ll be forced to kill one less person.”
“Then let’s make it so they can’t exchange anything.”
Hearing that, the other three all looked at Ye Ze blankly.
Then Ye Ze drew upon the power of the Evil Ghost Mask from inside his backpack...
【‘Disable item exchange in the Secret Realm for 5 minutes’ requires 100 points of Source Power. Confirm?】
Five minutes was the amount of time Ye Ze had reserved for himself to kill his way to the exchange point.
And because the effect now influenced more people, the amount of Source Power required had clearly increased.
Still, Ye Ze had enough Source Power at the moment... “Confirm!”
Under the bewildered gazes of his three teammates, another Secret Realm prompt immediately appeared:
【The exchange point stops exchanging items and resumes after five minutes!】
“Holy shit!???”
Yi Xing and Zhou Qi both sucked in a sharp breath.
Thinking back to what Ye Ze had said earlier, everyone’s scalp went numb at once!
You actually did it for real!?
Did your words really become reality?
Liu Anran’s beautiful eyes widened, and she was utterly stunned. “Wait... you really are cheating?”
“Just a small ability.” Ye Ze waved his hand. “Quick, let’s head to the exchange point!”
“You call that a small ability!?”
...
Secret Realm Exchange Point.
It looked like a little cottage in the woods, with only three golden points of light floating inside.
The four Class Users from the Freedom Empire were ecstatic.
“Hahaha! We really got lucky! I can’t believe the exchange point is this close to us!”
“A Fifth-Rank Advancement Pill... there’s only one, and it costs fifty Lotus Petals. We have exactly enough!”
“Boss Bell, you’re a level-49 Wild Hunter. This is perfect for your advancement!”
“At that point, wouldn’t we become completely invincible inside the Secret Realm!?”
Among them, the squad captain Bell, a powerfully built man holding a hunting blade, was equally overjoyed.
With the Advancement Pill, he would be able to advance to the fifth rank through Supreme Advancement, and his strength would soar!
But just as he was about to attempt the exchange—The exchange function suddenly stopped.
“What’s going on!?”
“It’s probably just a Secret Realm bug, right? It’ll recover in five minutes!”
But while the four of them were waiting, a violent explosion suddenly rang out from outside the cottage!
A bolt of heavenly thunder descended, its shockwave resembling a thunder dragon. Everywhere it passed, dust flew, trees were torn up, and deafening rumbling erupted all around!
Amid the confusion, a voice suddenly rang out from outside:
“Open up! Neighborhood support is here to spread some warmth!”
