The equipment had to be extraordinary for these leaders to lose their composure.
And they were. All three were… Purple-grade.
Though they’d anticipated Ye Zhongming’s craftsmanship with nine-star materials, seeing Purple-grade gear firsthand was still staggering.
Could Ye Zhongming mass-produce Purple Grade now? Just how strong had Cloud Peak become?
But cooler heads soon prevailed.
Nine-star materials were exceedingly rare. Counting Li Daqian’s kill, Ye Zhongming’s two in the secret realm, and the two alliances’ recent hunts, only five existed nationwide.
After accounting for failures, Ye Zhongming’s stock—his two kills—likely barely sufficed for these three items.
What they underestimated was Ye Zhongming’s crafting mastery.
Purple grade was the highest craftable tier without blueprints. Normally, success rates for such gear didn’t exceed 5%—perhaps 10% for elite Smiths.
These three pieces? He’d only failed five times—unprecedented luck.
“Could we hear their attributes?” Commander Mu tore his gaze away, addressing Xia Lei, who was enjoying their reactions.
The others nodded eagerly.
Xia Lei understood. Even for faction leaders, Purple Grade was mythical.
“Let’s start with this.” She lifted the smallest item—the pendant.
“Amplification Pendant.”
“Tier 1 Amplification: Wearing it passively boosts bloodline abilities, job skills, and other effects by 10%.”
“Tier 2 Amplification: Activatable. Adds another 10% to the above, plus 10% to summon stats. 3-day cooldown.”
“Tier 3 Amplification: Every 100 days, gain a third 10% stack to all categories.”
“Tier 4 Amplification: Sacrificing all previous boosts, amplify one selected skill by 300% for 3 minutes (sustained) or one use (instant).”
“Tier 5 Amplification: Ultimate mode. 300% boost to ALL abilities for 1 minute. The pendant is destroyed afterward.”
Though its five abilities seemed fewer than some Gold or Blue-grade gear, the implications were terrifying.
Tier 1-3 offered stacking 21-33% boosts for routine combat. Tier 4 traded versatility for a 300% single-skill nuke.
Not including cooldown, it would take three days for Little Tiger’s revenge eye to reach three hundred percent. This one was instant.
And Tier 5 which was the most shocking as it could save a life. A triple-stat do-or-die trump card.
If Ye Zhongming wore this… The three of them didn’t dare to imagine.
The trio exchanged glances, their earlier camaraderie evaporating as none of them wanted to give this piece up.
A Purple-grade accessory that could be worn without swapping out for other pieces of equipment was priceless.
“Now, the next piece.” Xia Lei savored their expressions. She’d coveted these, too.
“Relic Robe.”
“Fading: Randomly gain 5-50% of the robe’s original lifeform’s defense for 1 hour. Daily cooldown.”
“Brilliance: Every 10 days, synchronize with the lifeform’s abilities for a matching power surge. Timing is unpredictable. The synchronizing timing will take place anytime during the cooldown period.”
“Rebirth: Upon critical injury, fully heal for 2 hours before reverting to 80% of original wounds.”
“Hope: Every 20 days, upgrade one skill’s tier or double its effect if maxed.”
“Legacy: When the robe is irreparably damaged, permanently retain the last-used ability’s effect as a permanent skill.”
The second Purple-tier item left them even more breathless.
If the pendant was exceptional, the robe was revolutionary.
Only Brilliance puzzled them—what did “ability resonance” entail?
