Chapter 100: I'm a Player Using Cheats!
When Liu Anran arrived, the Fox Immortal very reluctantly loosened her arms from around Ye Ze.
Liu Anran first stared at the breathtakingly beautiful Fox Immortal in surprise, then shot Ye Ze a look of contempt.
'He won’t even spare his own Summoned Beast!'
Ye Ze was left utterly speechless.
Seeing that Ye Ze was unharmed, Liu Anran quickly got to the point and reminded him, “Even inside the Secret Realm, you still have to be careful.”
“We’ve lost our advantage in numbers now. The Lionheart Kingdom and the Freedom Empire set up an ambush, so they have thirty-four people in here altogether!”
“We need to stay on guard at every turn now!”
Liu Anran had assumed Ye Ze did not know the current situation, but after saying all that, she realized his expression had not changed in the slightest, which left her rather puzzled.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Ze said slowly, “Mm... they should only have thirty left by now.”
“Thirty?” Liu Anran froze.
Then disbelief spread across her face.
“You’re not about to tell me you’ve already killed four fourth-rank Class Users, are you?”
“Not bad. You’ve learned to answer before I say it,” Ye Ze teased.
Liu Anran’s breathing stopped for a moment.
If anyone else had said that to her, she would not even have bothered responding. She would have dismissed it as absurd bragging.
Every fourth-rank inside this Secret Realm was no simple figure. They were all elite first-clear teams carefully selected by their respective nations, the very best of the best.
A Class User who had not even reached the second rank had entered the Secret Realm only a short while ago, yet had already killed four fourth-rank Class Users in succession?
Who could believe that?
But if Ye Ze said it... then Liu Anran already believed it ninety percent.
After all, this monster had even killed a sixth-rank Demon King before. If he found the right chance, killing a few fourth-rank Class Users was not impossible at all.
Liu Anran pursed her lips and finally spat out two words.
“Monster.”
Ye Ze chuckled. “Since you’re here, hunting them down will be even easier.”
At that, Liu Anran hurriedly stopped him. She sat down on a huge boulder and caught her breath as she said, “Wait. I used teleportation too many times while looking for you. Give me a little time to recover my mana first.”
With item consumables disabled, the only way to recover mana was to wait for it to regenerate naturally over time.
And natural recovery was painfully slow.
Seeing that, Ye Ze took out a bottle of Mana Potion from his backpack. It was a consumable he always kept on hand but rarely had the chance to use.
He handed the Mana Potion to Liu Anran. “This will be faster.”
The moment she saw the bottle of Mana Potion, Liu Anran felt as though her brain had crashed.
She looked up at Ye Ze in disbelief. “Weren’t all items disabled?”
“Or am I the only one who was forbidden from using them?”
Liu Anran fell silent.
Ye Ze smiled and said, “Relax. Everyone had them disabled.”
Liu Anran stared at the Mana Potion in his hand. “Then this...?”
As though it were the most natural thing in the world, Ye Ze replied, “I’m a player using cheats!”
“...”
Faced with that ridiculous explanation, Liu Anran only stared blankly for a moment before, quite unexpectedly, accepting it on the spot...“Strangely enough, that actually makes sense.”
As far as she was concerned, Ye Ze really was not much different from someone playing with cheats.
She took the potion and sipped it in small mouthfuls. Her mana recovered rapidly.
While Liu Anran was restoring her mana, Ye Ze took the opportunity to open his status panel and check the Fox Immortal’s attributes after her transformation...But once he looked, the result was honestly a little frightening.
【Fox Immortal - Six-Tailed Celestial Fox】
Quality: Golden Legend☆☆☆☆☆
Level: 22 (Same level as the Summoner)
Attributes: Strength 415, Constitution 455, Agility 475, Spirit 691
Talents: Celestial Fox Immortal Arts (Legend · Higher-order), Borrowing the Laws of Heaven and Earth (Legend · Higher-order), Six Tails (Legend)
Skills: Fox Immortal Fire (Legend), Glamour Step (Legend), Immortal Art - Heavenly Thunder, Immortal Art - Frozen Seal, Immortal Art - Icicle
————
In terms of raw base attributes alone, she had leaped past Panda and officially become the strongest in mental power, pushing straight toward the seven-hundred mark!
As for her skills, the change was even greater. Her three tails had become six tails, and her original three skill charges had increased to six!
In theory, she could now unleash the same skill seven times in a row.
And those two higher-order talents were especially outstanding:
【Borrowing the Laws of Heaven and Earth: Freely manipulates the natural elements of heaven and earth, even altering the surrounding climate to form powerful immortal art attacks or enhancements.】
【Celestial Fox Immortal Arts: All mastered spell skills automatically advance into max-level immortal arts; the power of thought reaches its peak and can be used at will.】
It could only be said that this was indeed the terror of the immortal path.
In other words, the earth, rivers, and storms that could be seen anywhere could all be turned by the Fox Immortal into immortal art attacks.
At the same time, every skill she had previously learned had advanced into immortal arts.
As for telekinesis, it had gone from being a skill in the past to becoming her basic attack now!
The increase in her strength was so terrifying that even Ye Ze could not help feeling shaken.
He simply did not know which was stronger now, Martial Saint Panda or the Fox Immortal.
The martial path... or the immortal path...For the moment, though, Panda still held an absolute advantage.
After all, aside from spirit, Panda’s other three attributes were nearly double the Fox Immortal’s.
But in the future, that might no longer be so certain...Of course, no matter which one was stronger, Ye Ze was the happiest one of all.
At the same time, Ye Ze took out the fourteen Epic items he had seized this time and fed them to Panda.
He had been thinking about the final piece of the set the entire time, and with two chances to roll a legendary drop...Something unexpected still happened.
【Equipment Shredder — Seven pieces of equipment destroyed. New equipment obtained: Umbral Demon Armor, Bloodslaughter Armguard!】
“What the hell! Where’s my last set piece!?”
“What is this? Are you seriously blocking me here?”
Ye Ze had a pounding headache. Although both of these pieces of equipment were excellent, and both were legendary five-star items, what he really wanted was the set!
Then, as he looked at the two pieces of equipment, Ye Ze suddenly smacked his forehead and instantly realized the reason.
“I forgot about that!”
The higher the quality of the equipment destroyed by Equipment Shredder, the higher the quality of the new equipment it produced.
The components of the War of Armies set were all legendary four-star items.
But the Epic equipment Panda had eaten this time had been too high in quality, so it had produced legendary five-star items instead!
“Damn it!” Realizing this, Ye Ze could only sigh in resignation. “Sometimes gear being too high-quality is a problem too!”
Next time, he would have to control the quality of the equipment he fed Panda and try to keep producing four-star items so he could complete the set first.
Once Ye Ze figured it out, he equipped the armor, Umbral Demon Armor, onto the Magic Dragon, and gave the Bloodslaughter Armguard to the Mantis according to their attributes.
Then he took out the five level-60 and level-70 legendary items dropped by Demon King Mirage and Demon King Evil Ghost, along with the two level-40 legendary items dropped by the Lionheart nobles, and crushed them all together!
Their level requirements were all too high for him to wear anyway, and their star ratings were not high, so they were perfect fodder.
It was Panda’s first time eating legendary equipment!
Its attributes immediately soared:
【You Are What You Eat! — Using ‘Evil Ghost Armguard,’ reward obtained: Strength +15, Constitution +15, ghost damage -30%!】
【...】
【Equipment Shredder — Seven pieces of equipment destroyed. New equipment obtained: Profound Origin Orb!】
A flash of golden light burst forth.
An orb flowed into view in midair, shimmering with the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars.
Although seven legendary items of uneven quality had failed to combine into a myth-grade item, the one before him still filled Ye Ze with delight...It could be called the finest magic artifact beneath the myth grade!
