Chapter 17: Gathering the Overlord Set and Advancing to the Second Realm
At this moment, a figure covered in armor ran past them at high speed, sending a large number of Purple Thunder Worker Ants and Purple Thunder Soldier Ants flying along the way.
When these Demon Ants collided with his body, they seemed to have collided with a chopping board and were instantly shattered into pieces.
The team leader exclaimed, “Strange, this guy’s back looks a little familiar.”
The three team members blinked. “That looks like Shield Ghost.”
The team leader’s eyes widened. “Is he planning to challenge the Purple Thunder Ant Queen at the Purple Thunder Ant Nest?”
The three team members looked at each other, at a loss.
Didn’t this Shield Ghost need to rest?
Ten minutes later, Zhou Feng also ran past them in large strides. “Idol, wait for me!”
Soon, Lin Xuan strode into the Purple Thunder Ant Queen’s cave.
A queen that was as ugly as the Steel Ant Queen and the Red Fire Ant Queen appeared.
Lin Xuan also changed into a new set of equipment. It was similar to the “Fire Shield” set that the Red Fire Soldier Ants had dropped. This “Thunder Shield” set was dropped by the Purple Thunder Weapon Ants and provided 60% lightning resistance.
The entire challenge process was as boring as the one after the Red Fire Ant Queen challenge.
Soon, the Purple Lightning Ant Queen fell with a wail.
However, he was not so lucky this time. The Purple Thunder Ant Queen did not drop the part of the Overlord Set that he wanted.
“My luck is not good. Then I’ll grind a few more times.”
Lin Xuan waved his hand indifferently and sat down.
A few minutes later, a breeding ant was chosen to become the Purple Lightning Ant Queen and appeared in the cave.
Lin Xuan swept his gaze over and discovered that its attributes had shrunk by a level compared to the previous one. Killing it was even easier.
After killing five Purple Thunder Ant Queens in a row, it finally dropped.
“The Steel Ant Queen dropped the Steel Skull, the Red Fire Ant Queen dropped the Blazing Fire Cloak, and the Purple Thunder Ant Queen dropped the Purple Thunder Pauldron. I’m still missing the parts from the Poison Water Ant Queen and the Frost Ant Queen.”
Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Under the shocked gazes of the many martial artists, he quickly left the Purple Thunder Ant Nest and headed straight for the Poison Water Ant Nest.
After killing the Poison Water Ant Queen 19 times and the Frost Ant Queen 35 times, he obtained the Venomous Belt and the Frost Plackart respectively.
In this way, he finally gathered a complete set of the “Overlord” Set.
“Too ferocious. No wonder this legend has been circulating among martial artists. With this Overlord Set, you can immediately transform into a super powerful tank and stand at the front of the team. The martial artists behind you will also be able to attack without worry!”
Lin Xuan sighed.
The effect of this set was:
. Resistance of all elements increased by 30%.
. All negative status resistance increased by 50%.
. Hatred Points increase by 100%.
. Healing effect by 100%.
. Gain the equipment skill [Demon Ant Squad]. You can summon five soldier ants that inherit 50% of your attributes at any time. The soldier ants will activate a cooldown after dying and will be revived again after 5 minutes.
Moreover, this was only the effect of the set. Each of the five parts had two additional effects.
After putting on this Overlord Set, Lin Xuan felt as if he had become a true overlord that was as immovable as a mountain. After all, even without doing anything, he would still be extremely strong.
Compared to the excited Lin Xuan, the many martial artists at the Demon Ant Nest’s safety station were currently dumbfounded. At the very least, they were all shocked.
The captain of the Flying Peng team gulped and said loudly, “Brothers, I’ve calculated it. Shield Ghost killed a total of 1 Steel Ant Queen, 5 Purple Thunder Ant Queen, 19 Poison Water Ant Queen, and 35 Frost Ant Queen. Among them were 5 experienced mystic realm kings, and 46 mystic realm kings. Moreover… he fought alone the entire time and almost did not rest.”
There was dead silence in the safety station.
“Isn’t he basically a superhuman?”
“Shield Ghost, take me away. I’m your number one fan!”
“Is this a real person? Could he be an alien that sneaked into Earth?”
“Why am I like a pig compared to Shield Ghost? The four of us only challenged a single ordinary mystic realm king but we still got beaten up!”
After a short silence, the martial artists completely erupted.
They felt that Shield Ghost had appeared in this world to humiliate them.
The black-clothed martial artist no longer drank.
He sent a message to Manager Number Two seriously.
The content was surprisingly long.
“…This is the data. In my eyes, he’s no longer an expert. Instead, he’s a trump card that’s worth nurturing and pouring in resources. Moreover, with his growth speed, it won’t be a problem for him to become a Fourth Realm martial artist in three years.”
Manager Number Two was very surprised.
He was not only shocked by Shield Ghost’s battle results and his son’s good judgment, he was also surprised that the black-clothed martial artist had said so much in a single message.
“I understand the situation. Get in touch with Shield Ghost first. Don’t state your intentions. Just give me the money and establish a good communication pathway.”
“Also, why are you suddenly so talkative? You’re not usually like this.”
The black-clothed martial artist replied, “None of your business.”
Manager Number Two :”…”
As Lin Xuan walked out of the Frost Ant Queen’s cave, the black-clothed martial artist approached. “Hello, Shield Ghost.”
Lin Xuan was stunned. Wasn’t this person the one who had tried to probe his attributes in the Steel Ant Nest?
“What’s the matter? I don’t want to form a team.”
The black-clothed martial artist shook his head. “Here, money.”
Lin Xuan was even more stunned.
What was going on today? Why was there always people sending him money? Did their money grow on trees?
“In any case, it’s free. Do you want it?” the black-clothed martial artist said calmly.
“Yes.”
Lin Xuan immediately received the 150,000 General Coins the black-clothed martial artist had transferred over.
“Take it. We’ll meet again in the future.” After the black-clothed martial artist finished speaking, he quickly left.
He still had to quickly save Zhou Feng, who had been surrounded by a large number of Frost Ants. That brat had only cared about chasing after Shield Ghost and had exhausted too much energy. Now, he had already attracted a large number of demon beasts to attack.
Of course, he would not die. He would probably have to lie low in the hospital bed for a while.
Lin Xuan watched as this person left. He kept feeling that this person was very mysterious, but he could not be bothered to investigate the other party.
As long as he was strong enough, he could destroy everything. All schemes and plots were useless.
Lin Xuan left under the envious and admiring gazes of many martial artists and arrived at the secret cave on the sixth floor of Giant Rock Cave.
“It’s time. It’s time to advance to the Second Realm!”
Lin Xuan placed the many advancement materials in front of him.
After killing the experienced mystic realm king, one would definitely obtain at least one advancement material. After killing five Ant Queens, he had obtained five advancement materials.
The effects of these five materials were all the same.
After advancing, all his attributes+3 and he would also obtain the passive skill [Experienced Mystic Realm King Might].
If one already had this skill, the effect of the skill would increase.
If Lin Xuan used these five advancement materials to advance, his total attributes would increase by 15 points!
“Begin advancement.”
Lin Xuan tapped on the arrow symbol on the data panel.
His body automatically absorbed the five advancement materials in front of him.
Surging energy surged into his body and fused into his limbs, bones, and organs.
His muscles were roaring and his blood was surging!
After a short period of comfort, Lin Xuan’s entire body calmed down.
Now, his basic attributes had changed: Physique 93, Strength 47, Spirit 48, Agility 43.
Passive skill [Experienced Mystic Realm King Might]. Its effect changed from the previous -8% to -15%.
“I’m feeling good. I also have some strength now. Now, I can somewhat survive in this dangerous world where demon beasts roam freely.” Lin Xuan heaved a long sigh. “Next, it’s time to go to the next mystic realm to find a new training avatar.”
