Chapter 9 – Terrifying Combat Power Increase!

Set Equipment!

These are equipment that form a series. When collected as a complete set, they can activate far more powerful attributes than scattered pieces.

If sold as a complete set on the market, the price could skyrocket by hundreds of times!

There’s no other way—the difficulty of assembling a full set is simply too high.

Even putting together a Silver-tier set is extremely challenging, let alone a Dark Gold-tier set!

Ye Sheng gazed at seven of the twelve glowing orbs, his eyes burning with desire.

These seven orbs formed a complete set.

All seven orbs shone with a jade-white hue, like seven miniature white suns suspended in the air. Just a single glance was enough to dazzle the eyes.

Ye Sheng focused on one of the white orbs.

Whoosh!

Information about this piece of Dark Gold Equipment immediately appeared before his eyes.

“White Jade Series?!”

“Hiss~! The casting speed alone is astonishing!”

Casting Speed +170%!

And on top of that, there were so many other effects!

With just one look, Ye Sheng couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath, thinking to himself that this truly lived up to the reputation of Dark Gold Equipment.

He had seen a ‘Gold-tier Equipment’ for magic classes before.

Its casting speed increase was only +30%.

But this Dark Gold Equipment… was almost six times that!

Moreover, casting speed was extremely important.

Previously, when he cast ‘Nine Heavens Divine Thunder,’ it took several minutes for the golden lightning to strike.

Fortunately, those Ghost Creatures lacked intelligence.

If he were fighting against a person, those several minutes would be more than enough for the opponent to kill him dozens of times over!

“It would be best to achieve instant casting!”

Ye Sheng pondered.

“However, with this +170% casting speed increase, the next time I use Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, it will be much faster!”

“And this is just one ‘headgear’!

Besides the headgear, there are six other pieces of equipment!”

The complete set consisted of seven pieces.

Each piece provided a casting speed increase, and when stacked together, the effect would be even more outrageous!

Ye Sheng’s expression turned grave. Previously, his attitude toward equipment had been indifferent.

But now, for the first time, he realized the importance of equipment.

It was true that he possessed an Annihilation-grade Skill!

But casting speed could only be provided by equipment!

Next, Ye Sheng looked at the remaining six pieces of the White Jade Series set.

They were: White Jade Dragon Sword, White Jade Robe, White Jade Bracers, White Jade Greaves, White Jade War Boots, and White Jade Belt!

Together with the White Jade Dragon Crown!

That made exactly seven pieces—a complete set!

Not a single piece missing!

This made Ye Sheng exclaim at his Heaven-Defying luck, actually managing to drop an entire set.

Whoosh!

Ye Sheng stored the other five pieces of Dark Gold-tier equipment away.

Only the seven White Jade Dark Gold Equipment pieces remained, swirling around him like seven miniature white suns orbiting his body!

Each miniature white sun contained immense energy, and as they danced, they caused the surrounding Void to distort!

“Come!”

Ye Sheng took a deep breath, then reached out with a beckoning gesture.

Boom!

The seven pieces of white jade Shadow Gold Equipment that had been circling around Ye Sheng suddenly shot toward him like cannonballs.

As they approached Ye Sheng, one of them directly equipped itself onto his body.

The moment this piece of white jade Shadow Gold Equipment was donned,

Ye Sheng’s aura surged explosively in an instant!

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed!

Ye Sheng’s aura had actually increased tenfold!

“Ten times!”

Ye Sheng was stunned!

He was already a 1st Awakening Level 100 Expert, and his aura was already formidable.

But after equipping just one piece of white jade Shadow Gold Equipment, his aura had instantly skyrocketed another tenfold!

“A single piece of Shadow Gold Equipment can increase it by ten times?”

Ye Sheng wore an expression of disbelief. The amplification provided by Shadow Gold Equipment was simply too immense.

This was a tenfold increase on top of his already formidable 1st Awakening Level 100 foundation!

“Again!”

Ye Sheng beckoned with his hand, and another piece of white jade Shadow Gold Equipment flew toward him. Once equipped, his aura surged once more.

Boom!

Another tenfold increase!

Reaching twenty times his original 1st Awakening Level 100 aura!

Ye Sheng’s eyes gleamed brightly, and he let out a low shout.

“All of you, return to your positions!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The remaining five pieces of white jade Shadow Gold Equipment shot toward him like cannonballs, crashing onto his body.

Click! Click! Click!

As all seven pieces of white jade Shadow Gold Equipment were equipped one by one onto Ye Sheng’s body,

His aura began to surge wildly.

Thirty times!

Forty times!

Fifty times!

Almost every piece of white jade Shadow Gold Equipment increased Ye Sheng’s aura by tenfold!

Sixty times!

Finally,

Ye Sheng’s aura explosively increased to seventy times his original strength!

Seventy times the power of an ordinary 1st Awakening Level 100 Expert!

This caused a powerful force to ripple around Ye Sheng’s body!

Ye Sheng was utterly astonished.

But this was not the end.

When the seventh piece of equipment was equipped, the set Attribute was activated.

Ye Sheng felt the energy within his body surge another thirtyfold!

In the end!

It reached an astonishing one hundred times!

“What?!”

Ye Sheng was shocked. He swung the white jade longsword in his hand.

This strike was simple and unadorned, without any Skill amplification.

But a white Sword Radiance shot through the air, crashing into a small hill in the distance.

With a deafening roar,

The power, one hundred times that of an ordinary 1st Awakening Level 100 Expert, caused the small hill to shatter under the white Sword Radiance.

Half of the mountain was instantly flattened by Ye Sheng’s single strike.

As debris flew everywhere, Ye Sheng looked at the astonishing effect, even he was left speechless.

“Too powerful!”

Ye Sheng was dumbfounded!

Now!

After reaching 1st Awakening Level 100, he had clearly undergone a complete transformation!

He was no longer the clueless novice he once was!

Not only did he possess a full set of Dark Gold Tier equipment,

But he also had power one hundred times greater than that of an ordinary 1st Awakening Level 100 Expert.

“If I were to encounter the ‘Cangming Squad’ now, I could easily annihilate them!”

A trace of Malevolent Qi flashed in Ye Sheng’s eyes.

The current Ye Sheng was far too powerful. To him now, the ‘Cangming Squad’ was nothing more than ants that he could crush with a single finger.

If he hadn’t had a powerful Trump Card back then, being inexplicably dragged into the ‘depths of the wilderness,’ he would never have survived.

This grudge must be settled no matter what!

…

“First, I should deal with other matters. I’ll sell the equipment in the Spatial Bracelet—this is a massive fortune!”

Ye Sheng collected his thoughts and looked at the Spatial Bracelet.

At the moment, the Spatial Bracelet was packed full of equipment.

If he didn’t clear it out, there would be no space left for any new drops, which would be quite troublesome.

“Bronze, silver… these pieces of equipment can all be sold,

and even the gold equipment is useless!

Also… the remaining 5 pieces of Shadow Gold Equipment are no longer needed!”

Ye Sheng frowned, pondering slightly.

Having one set of Shadow Gold Equipment was enough for him.

Keeping those 5 pieces of Shadow Gold Equipment in his possession would be like holding scrap metal—better to sell them for money.

A single piece of Shadow Gold Equipment could be worth millions!

Thinking of this,

Ye Sheng wasted no time and used his Spatial Bracelet to access the ‘Federation Trading Platform’.

The Spatial Bracelet had multiple functions, and this was one of them.

Soon, Ye Sheng contacted an equipment merchant.
