Chapter 832 - 827: Hiss, Feels So Good!
Wu Mingyue, being knowledgeable, speculated: "Is it possible that Mount Tai used some destiny-type tool to bind these two pieces of equipment? His real goal is to kill you and take the four-piece set you have."
Bai Pu nodded: "That seems to be the case indeed. However, this brings up a new problem.
"The tool Mount Tai used must have two effects.
"First, upon killing me, a Bloody Treasure Chest will definitely drop.
"Second, upon killing me, there must be four extraction opportunities or more, and each extraction must draw out a set piece.
"Such powerful destiny-type tools are unheard of. With Mount Tai’s energy, can he really obtain such a tool? Even if his team can get it, why use such a precious destiny tool for just Mount Tai?"
Bai Pu squinted his eyes and concluded: "Unless... Mount Tai is collecting the Immortal King’s six-piece set not for himself but due to a higher authority’s demand."
Both teammates nodded, agreeing with Bai Pu’s view.
Wu Mingyue said: "We can’t figure this out for now. Let’s put it on first and see the set skills of the six-piece set!"
Bai Pu smiled and nodded, while putting it on, and said:
"These two pieces of equipment should have been upgraded with Radiant Dragon Stones, their Durability equates to Advanced Base Material, and they are also added with Dark Attribute Resistance. When my Boundary Land ’Giant Fern Mountain Range’ opened, the Superstar Alliance dug out a batch of Netherworld Radiant Dragon Stones, and now in a twist of fate, they have returned to me."
In fact, the skills these two pieces of equipment come with are excellent in themselves.
[Immortal King’s Iron Breastplate] comes with [Unshakable], similar to the passive on the shoes but with higher bonuses; [Fury Recovery] is a precious healing skill that instantly recovers 1500 Life Value (with full Fury), with a cooldown of only four hours.
[Immortal King’s Iron Cloak] comes with [Ancestral Totem], an important enhancement skill during the Spirit Realm Legion battles.
Of course, Bai Pu was even more excited about the skills of the Immortal King’s six-piece set, and he quickly donned the two new pieces of equipment.
As the set pieces were gathered, lines of green set attributes lit up.
[Immortal King Set]
[2 Pieces: Increase your Basic Power by 10, Basic Endurance by 10.]
[4 Pieces: Ancestral Protection: Upon activation, summon the Ancestral Ghost to join the battlefield. The Ancestral Ghost will bear 50% of the damage you receive for 60 seconds. The cooldown of this set effect is one Cosmic Day.]
[6 Pieces: Immortal Incarnation: Upon activation, you become the temporary earthly incarnation of the Immortal King. For 30 seconds, you will not die, Special Attributes +100 points, and temporarily gain a one-time skill: Immortal King’s Wrath. The cooldown for this set effect is seven Cosmic Days.]
"Special Attributes +100 points... Gangxin, you have three attribute specializations, right?" Wu Qingyun felt her hands trembling, a set skill that adds 300 Total Attributes directly is truly terrifying.
"Not dying within 30 seconds is also extremely powerful... though it might be a bit wasted on Xiaobai." Wu Mingyue objectively evaluated.
Bai Pu looked at the one-time skill: Immortal King’s Wrath.
[Immortal King’s Wrath: Unleash the wrath of the Immortal King in a cone-shaped range ahead, dealing (10~25)* your Power point’s non-attribute damage, this damage can be added with your selected Mystical Arts/True Intent Prototype Special Effect and damage amplification. The closer the target is to you, the higher the damage endured.]
How strong.
Bai Pu silently thought for a moment and felt that the six-piece set was terrifyingly powerful.
No wonder the set is so hard to collect, and cannot be obtained through resource exchange by an S-level Major General. Once the set is complete, it can truly unleash power far beyond Dark Gold Equipment.
Wu Mingyue and Wu Qingyun were happy for Bai Pu’s increased strength, but also felt a bit downhearted.
"You’re so strong now, we feel somewhat dispensable." Wu Mingyue sighed, "Xiaobai, if you were to fight me now, you’d probably not even need more than two moves. You summon us here, it feels like we’re holding you back."
"No, there are many ways you can support me." Bai Pu said earnestly.
...
"A little to the left, a little more to the left, yes yes... ah, comfortable!"
Bai Pu’s head rested on Wu Mingyue’s elastic thigh, enjoying the meticulous massage by the mature beauty. Occasionally looking up to admire the breathtakingly curved beauty of the peaks, his mood was entirely relaxed, the fatigue from battle vanished.
Wu Qingyun, meanwhile, clenched her fist and rhythmically tapped Bai Pu’s leg. But seeing her somewhat gritted expression, these taps had a hint of venting frustration.
"Bah, so thick-skinned... if not for not seeing you for a while... I would absolutely never agree!"
——From the inner voice of the young girl Wu Qingyun.
The reason for such close service is naturally because Bai Pu used the battle merit of the Black Tortoise Oath to massively enhance the strengths of himself and his two teammates.
The collections he looted from the Palace of Roots of Emperor Qing, the collections from Black Emperor’s Profound Water Palace, converted into battle merit at the quartermaster of the Cyan Dragon Oath and Black Tortoise Oath, along with his own accumulated battle merit, which he extensively purchased and transformed into combat power.
Merely the permanent increase of 600 Life Value with the A-level Silver Artifact [Penglai Jade Tree], Bai Pu exchanged for three trees, others included S-level Artifact [Earth Vein Profound Yellow Stone] for permanent 120 Natural Armor increase, S-level Artifact [Peacock King Feather] for permanent 36 Movement Speed increase...
He also exchanged for some critical Spell Enchantments, Black Tortoise Armor, Wind God Equipment, and more, some increasing Armor and Shields, others increasing Movement Speed and Evasion, and so on.
Therefore, Bai Pu asked Wu Mingyue and Wu Qingyun together to serve, to relieve the fatigue from the high-difficulty Spirit Realm battles, which is only reasonable.
"Qingyun, have you noticed, Xiaobai’s personality has changed a bit." Wu Mingyue’s transmission quietly rang out in Wu Qingyun’s ear.
Bai Pu perked up his ears. He could clearly hear the transmissions from these two teammates, as Bai Pu’s energy was purer, and his Mental Realm Cultivation surpassed theirs, naturally capturing the sounds wrapped in their energies.
"Yes, quite a big change. Originally liked to go alone, personality like a piece of wood. Now... turned bad, actually making requests like this to us..." Wu Qingyun pursed her lips.
"So do you like the original Xiaobai, or the current Xiaobai?" Wu Mingyue asked with a smile.
"... I think the original Xiaobai was cool. But now, Xiaobai feels closer to me." Wu Qingyun thought for a bit and answered.
Have I changed?
Bai Pu’s thoughts slightly dispersed, recalling the past.
At the time of awakening, Bai Pu was indeed a lone wolf type, going solo, politely declining Wu Qingyun’s approach.
Bai Pu could analyze the reason himself, it must be related to his twisted growth experience.
However, two years after awakening, Bai Pu had become the Master of the Earth Battleship, leading large legions in battles, his personality had drastically changed. He learned to utilize the power of a team, and was more willing to interact and get along with others.
This should be progress... Bai Pu thought to himself.
...
After indulging for more than ten minutes, Bai Pu decisively got up, hugged Wu Mingyue tightly while she opened her beautiful eyes wide, gave her a firm kiss, then closed the door to begin the enlightenment of Space Mystical Arts.
As for the two teammates, Bai Pu had already informed Rein and Leia, letting them meet for an exchange.
Although teammates’ strengths are not yet sufficient, Rein and Leia would probably not be overly arrogant due to Bai Pu’s face.
"The curios of Space Mystical Arts, in Major General Gaia’s exchange list, belong to 11 points of rarity. I can’t redeem it currently. Fortunately, my luck was good, and exploded one from the Lord Level Tree Demon Treasure Chest."
In the past, Bai Pu had drawn the Flame God Stone from the Red Emperor’s Treasure Chest, helping him to realize the Red Flame Mystical Arts, later progressing to the current Red Lotus Mystical Arts.
The space mystical arts of the Tree Demon leans towards opening spatial rifts. Bai Pu intends to merge it with the second part of Dong Bochengzhi’s Swordsmanship Manual to see what kind of space-oriented mystical arts can be realized.
