At this point, Lin Ran's combat power had already reached over 32,000 without having passed the Tier 4 Awakened one's trial!
For the remaining four Epic-grade equipment, Lin Ran chose a set of four items: pauldrons, bracers, boots, and a ring, which were currently at Platinum grade.
First piece of equipment:
【Moon Shadow Pauldrons】
【Category: Shoulder Armor】
【Quality: Epic】
【Equipment Effect: Increases the wearer's magic resistance by 20%, maximum mana by 20%, and maximum health by 25%.】
【Equipment Special Effect: Additional Skill—Moon Shadow Blessing: When the user is bathed in moonlight, attack speed, movement speed, and casting speed each increase by 8% (stackable with same-named special effect enhancement attributes).】
Second piece of equipment:
【Moon Shadow Bracers】
【Category: Arm Armor】
【Quality: Epic】
【Equipment Effect: Increases the wearer's magic resistance by 20%, maximum mana by 20%, and maximum health by 25%.】
【Equipment Special Effect: Additional Skill—Moon Shadow Blessing: As above.】
Third piece of equipment:
【Moon Shadow War Boots】
【Category: Boots】
【Quality: Epic】
【Equipment Effect: Increases the wearer's movement speed by 25%, physical resistance by 15%, and maximum health by 25%.】
【Equipment Special Effect: Additional Skill—Moon Shadow Blessing: As above.】
Fourth piece of equipment:
【Moon Shadow Ring】
【Category: Ring】
【Quality: Epic】
【Equipment Effect: Increases the wearer's magic resistance by 20%, maximum mana by 20%, and maximum health by 25%.】
【Equipment Special Effect: Additional Skill—Moon Shadow Blessing: As above.】
Now, besides his weapon which was still a Platinum-grade item, all seven other equipment slots on Lin Ran had been replaced with Epic-grade items.
These were the Moon Shadow set of four items for the pauldrons, bracers, boots, and ring, along with the Azure Frost set of three items for the chestplate, leggings, and necklace.
When factoring in the Golden Dragon Spear, which had already absorbed physical attack, physical defense, maximum health, and health regeneration speed to values higher than those after defeating the Azure Water Turtle, reaching 17.3%, and without considering the Heart of Nature, Lin Ran's total amplification had reached a terrifying 604.2%!
Since an Awakened one could amplify a total of 12 types of attributes, adding the 960% from the Heart of Nature, it had already reached a monstrous 1564.2%!
The specific attributes were as follows:
Maximum Health—117.3% + 80% = 197.3%
Maximum Mana—60% + 80% = 140%
Health Regeneration Speed—17.3% + 80% = 97.3%
Mana Regeneration Speed—0% + 80% = 80%
Physical Defense—127.3% + 80% = 207.3%
Magic Resistance—160% + 80% = 240%
Abnormal Status Resistance—0% + 80% = 80%
Physical Attack Power—17.3% + 80% = 97.3%
Magic Attack Power—30% + 80% = 110%
Attack Speed—25% + 80% = 105%
Casting Speed—0% + 80% = 80%
Movement Speed—50% + 80% = 130%
These stats, this panel, were unbelievably luxurious.
This was precisely why Lin Ran could battle across so many tiers and still crush his opponents...
The attribute suppression was too terrifying.
One could only say that this 【Heart of Nature (Seven Attributes · Spacetime Power)】 was truly monstrous, defying all reason.
The attribute bonus from a single equipment piece surpassed all of Lin Ran's other various gear combined.
Many people might spend their entire lives unable to achieve a total amplification of 960%, yet the Heart of Nature alone was sufficient...
It was precisely after obtaining the Heart of Nature that Lin Ran began to mercilessly overwhelm opponents of the same tier.
After all, this was an equipment with significant limitations—only an Awakened one whose innate talent was all-encompassing Nature element and whose core energy was entirely Nature energy could equip it; if the wearer's innate talent was a Nature Spirit Body, an additional skill would be activated.
The Thunder Elemental tribe had also put in immense effort to give it an incredibly exaggerated enchantment effect—Seven Attributes · Spacetime Power.
Simultaneously, the Heart of Nature itself was a Legendary-grade special equipment, so it was no wonder its attributes were not standard.
It was likely that this item was considered a treasure of the Thunder Elemental tribe.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been entrusted to a Hero-grade unit like the Annihilator Razor for use.
It was a pity that the Annihilator Razor's core energy was Thunder, not belonging to Nature energy (referring here to mastery of all elements), so it couldn't directly use it, only employing it as a node for a teleportation array.
Combined with Lin Ran's perfect compatibility with the Heart of Nature and the dimensional reduction strike method of the Divine Might Space, he was able to seize this heaven-defying divine artifact.
Divine artifacts like the Heart of Nature possess their own spirits with nascent consciousness.
Lin Ran's completely irresistible affinity towards it was also an important condition.
He really didn't know how his old friend, the Annihilator Razor, was faring after losing the tribal treasure Heart of Nature and messing up the Thunder Lord's teleportation plan...
At any rate, he likely wasn't smiling.
This felt good!
Lin Ran stretched comfortably and began searching for his target, a Universal Exchange Voucher.
The entire Xiang Chu's academic credit warehouse contained quite a few good items.
However, the most valuable items were undoubtedly akin to the Meteorite Demonic Essence that Matt had given him earlier—heavenly materials and rare minerals that could promote the evolution of innate talents.
The so-called rare minerals had similar effects to heavenly materials, both being used to directly improve personal abilities and attributes.
The only difference was that one was ingested and digested, while the other was kept nearby to absorb spiritual energy daily.
Additionally, rare minerals required refinement before use, making them slightly more troublesome than heavenly materials.
Lin Ran now possessed many abilities obtained from the fishing pool, but only the Eternal Kaleidoscope had undergone evolution.
Adhering to the principle of comprehensive development and mutual improvement, it was time to find evolutionary paths for his other innate talents.
After a long period of searching, Lin Ran finally decided on his target.
【Subduing Demon Vajra Scepter】
【Category: Rare Mineral (Refined)】
【Quality: Legendary】
【Absorption Effect: An artifact refined from flawless diamond (Legendary-grade) as raw material, capable of promoting the breakthrough and evolution of Metal-elemental innate talents, and additionally bestowing a Mytic power capable of cleansing all energies upon Metal-elemental innate talents.】
This item was the one with the highest compatibility in the warehouse among heavenly materials/rare minerals, comparable to the King's Treasure.
Lin Ran believed that once he completely absorbed the Subduing Demon Vajra Scepter, the power of the King's Treasure would also undergo a qualitative leap, much like how the Eternal Kaleidoscope evolved the Susanoo and one eye evolved into the Rinnegan.
Just as Lin Ran was contemplating these matters, a private message from Tris came through his bio-chip.
"Let's meet. You choose the location, on behalf of the High Council."
