Heroes' Prison Chapter 90
The second reason was that it activated the final attribute of the Overlord’s Contract Set—wearing equipment up to 5 levels higher than oneself prematurely, coupled with the previous three set effects, that made it a total of 8 levels.
Wearing equipment that is 8 levels above one’s own! This extent was extremely terrifying!
In Huang Yi’s view, the real value of this ring was comparable to Legendary Equipment!
He immediately put on the storage ring, activated the Overlord’s Contract Set attributes; he was now level 25 but could already wear equipment for level 33. Among players of the same level, he was almost like a bug in existence!
Huang Yi immediately transferred all the contents of his original storage ring into this new storage ring.
Afterward, he chose to teleport and entered the 10th floor!
He was precisely level 25, the optimal level for breaking records on the 10th floor!
Actually, he didn’t care about these empty honors. The reason he wanted to break this record was that breaking it meant receiving a generous reward! Many people didn’t really care about the world record, but they still worked hard to vie for these rewards.
After entering the 10th floor, Huang Yi immediately took out something from the storage ring—a gigantic war hammer, five to six meters long!
This war hammer had a fierce and rough design, with spikes covering it and bloodstains marking its surface, emitting a ghastly purple glow that dispersed around it, causing palpitations!
This was the Purple Martial—Barbaric Hammer dropped by Young Master Barbarian Hammer of Wind Forest Stronghold! This weapon was originally a level 30 Purple Gear, but Huang Yi could now wear it prematurely!
Upon equipping this Purple Gear, Huang Yi immediately felt an overwhelming and domineering power. He now truly understood what it meant to swap a spitball tube for a cannon! At level 30, this Purple Gear was already one of the top weapons available. And he was just level 25! At this level, to wield such a mighty weapon, the increase in strength was quite terrifying, with just the attack power alone doubling!
At this moment, if he were to fight that Undead mage again, it would be much simpler; there would be no need to self-destruct to kill it!
Additionally, Barbarian Hammer had also dropped a piece of equipment, the Crimson Gloves, which was level 30 Purple Gear. However, Huang Yi did not wear it, as he was currently equipped with the Man-Eating Flower Blue Set, and replacing any piece would mean losing the set effects.
The next moment, Huang Yi charged forward! He didn’t bother clearing the minor monsters along the way; he wasn’t here for level grinding but to break the world record. Undoubtedly, the fastest method was to go straight for the BOSS!
Huang Yi, like a whirlwind, sped past these minor monsters. All the minor monsters he passed were agitated and followed in hot pursuit, emitting a cacophony of strange cries.
The scene was instantly spectacular, with hundreds of minor monsters densely tailing Huang Yi. However, these minor monsters were 15 levels below Huang Yi’s level, presenting a serious level suppression. Most of their attacks basically missed!
Before long, Huang Yi arrived in front of the first BOSS!
"Foolish humans..." The BOSS began to orate dramatically.
Huang Yi smashed down with his hammer without hesitation.
The next moment, the BOSS turned into a puddle of minced meat; it didn’t even manage to finish its speech and dropped a piece of White Gear.
Instakill! The BOSS was instantly crushed by Huang Yi’s hammer blow! His attack power was now so formidable!
Huang Yi didn’t even bother picking up the equipment on the ground and rushed straight to the second BOSS. It was time to break the record; there was no need to waste time picking up a piece of junk White Gear.
...
Just like that, relying on his formidable attack power, with no technique whatsoever, Huang Yi brutally bulldozed forward. It didn’t take long to defeat the BOSSes — often resolved within a few hammer strikes. Most of his time was spent on rushing through.
"Pfft!" Finally, the 5th BOSS was smashed to pieces by Huang Yi’s hammer, bursting into countless fragments!
[System Prompt]: Congratulations on clearing the Tower of Pantheons’ 10th floor solo room in 47 minutes and 35 seconds, breaking the world record! You will receive a bountiful reward!
The previous world record was held by the Japanese player Heavenly Dao with a time of 52 minutes and 56 seconds, but Huang Yi beat it by over 5 minutes! From this, one can guess that when Heavenly Dao broke the world record, his equipment might not have been as good as Huang Yi’s. Even if he had Purple Martial equipment at that time, it would likely have been level 25, whereas Huang Yi had level 30 Purple Martial equipment! With higher attributes, breaking the record naturally became much easier.
Just then, in the void ahead of Huang Yi, a treasure box with a golden glow suddenly appeared. It seemed this was the generous reward the system had given him, and not many people in this world could receive such a prize.
Huang Yi immediately stepped forward and opened the treasure box, peering inside.
Inside the box, three items lay quietly.
The first item was a green glow. Huang Yi reached out to take the glow, but found it couldn’t be grasped; it surged directly into his body instead.
The next moment, Huang Yi’s Experience Points shot up from 22% to 72%, equivalent to half a level in one go! It seemed that the green glow was indeed Experience Points, a pity it couldn’t be taken with him, otherwise, it could have been accumulated for use at a critical moment.
The second item was a stone the size of a fist, black all over with a faint ring of green glow emitting from it, looking rather extraordinary.
[Energy Stone](D-grade, Consumable Treasure)
Required Level: 20
Item Description: A stone containing energy, able to absorb 1000 Energy Value.
Another Energy Stone! Moreover, this Energy Stone was a grade higher than the one that the Barbaric Hammer from Wind Forest Stronghold had dropped, with an immediate addition of 1000 Energy Value, which was equivalent to 100 days’ worth of natural recovery!
This Energy Stone could be taken with him, so Huang Yi immediately put it into his storage ring, to be used at a critical moment in the future. Such an item was a high-level strategic reserve, and having one in the storage ring gave a much greater sense of security.
The third item was a necklace.
[Clove Chain](Purple Gear, Jewelry – Necklace)
Magic Defense: 24
Strength +65
Critical Hit Rate +1%
Critical Hit Effect +10%
Durability: 300/300
Required Level: 20
Equipment Score: 80
Item Description: A fine necklace suitable for strength-based professions.
This necklace was undoubtedly much better than the one Huang Yi was wearing. He had on an Overlord’s Contract Necklace, which was only Green Gear, while this one was Purple Gear, far superior in attributes.
However, Huang Yi didn’t swap it out, for doing so would mean losing the 5-piece effect of the Overlord’s Contract Set, and he would no longer be able to wield the level 30 Barbaric Hammer he had in his hand. That would be a loss not worth the trade.
After securing the rewards, Huang Yi logged off and returned to reality.
He had been battling non-stop for 24 hours, maintaining a high level of concentration throughout. The toll this took was tremendous, and he needed to rest for a while.
