Chapter 174: Advancement of the Thousand Mechanisms Ring! The Power of Weapon Talents

After this dazzling holy light flickered.

Ding!

An electronic notification sound, devoid of any emotion, echoed in his mind.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading the equipment!"

"Thousand Mechanisms Ring (Gold) → Thousand Mechanisms Ring (Spirit)!"

Ling Zhan, full of surprise and joy, opened the detailed introduction page of the Thousand Mechanisms Ring.

"Holy shit!? Is the power of a spirit weapon this exaggerated?"

Ling Zhan stared at the detailed stats of the Thousand Mechanisms Ring, his handsome face completely numb with shock!

From these information panels, it was evident.

Whether it was the inherent attributes of the Thousand Mechanisms Ring or its enchantment effects, both had seen a terrifying increase in amplification!

Moreover, there was now an introduction to a 'Weapon Talent'!

Ling Zhan knew that this was the unique power exclusive to spirit weapons!

It's worth mentioning that the 'Devour Spirit' talent is something every spirit weapon possesses.

However, the method of 'Devour Spirit' varies with each weapon.

For instance, the Thousand Mechanisms Ring's 'Devour Spirit' can enhance its forging attributes by devouring other equipment.

Other spirit weapons might have different methods, some even requiring only sunlight to enhance their forging attributes. For example, the sacred weapon Dragonfire Scorching Shadow Sword owned by Liu Huanran works this way.

Both sacred weapons and spirit weapons can enhance their forging attributes through self-'Devour Spirit'.

Because of this, both spirit weapons and sacred weapons have no level restrictions for wearing.

This means...

From now on, Ling Zhan no longer needs to worry about the forging issues of the Thousand Mechanisms Ring.

And it seems Charlotte, this little forging assistant, has lost her usefulness...

Of course...

What delighted Ling Zhan even more was the other weapon talent: Sure Hit.

It turned out to be a causality weapon talent!

Imagine this.

'Sure Hit' + 'Critical Strike'...

A perfect match!

An excellent combination!

Who could escape!

Even someone as composed as Ling Zhan couldn't help but want to kiss the Thousand Mechanisms Ring twice.

However.

Just as Ling Zhan was about to do so.

Buzz!!

Suddenly.

The Thousand Mechanisms Ring floated up on its own and, in a rather aloof manner, moved two steps away from Ling Zhan.

As the owner of the Thousand Mechanisms Ring, Ling Zhan naturally had a connection with it.

He could clearly feel that the Thousand Mechanisms Ring was expressing a very obvious sense of disdain...

Well, it turned out the owner was being disdained by his spirit weapon.

But fortunately, the Thousand Mechanisms Ring was verbally disdainful but physically honest.

Although it appeared aloof on the surface, under Ling Zhan's summoning, it obediently returned to his finger.

Ling Zhan stretched comfortably, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

This time's gains made Ling Zhan feel both physically and mentally elated to the extreme!

It far exceeded his original expectations!

He rubbed his face, slowly calming his joyful mood.

He still couldn't be too happy...

After witnessing the power of the Night Empress.

Ling Zhan realized even more deeply how small and powerless he was.

Although he was already far ahead of his peers.

In the eyes of those big shots, he was still like an ant, easily crushed.

So, he couldn't afford to slack off!

However...

Just as Ling Zhan was about to enter the system's unique simulation realm to continue training his combat skills.

An AI robot flew over, projecting an information screen from its small eye.

On the screen was the surveillance footage of the entrance.

Charlotte's cute little face filled the entire camera, happily giggling, showing two adorable little tiger teeth.

But her hair was still a mess.

Despite having Anna and Xia, these two gentle ladies, comb her hair every day, it only took a short while before it became a mess again due to her lively nature.

As soon as Ling Zhan opened the door.

Charlotte grabbed his hand, bouncing and jumping, leading him outside.

In the large backyard, there was the aroma of barbecue and the sound of lively conversations.

It turned out a celebration banquet was being held for winning the championship.

As the main contributor to this tournament's victory, Ling Zhan naturally couldn't miss it.

But to be honest.

Ling Zhan wasn't very interested in attending such crowded gatherings.

In the whole team, only the carefree and adorable Charlotte was close to Ling Zhan.

The other members either had psychological shadows buried by Ling Zhan's methods.

Or they were too proud to lower themselves to associate with Ling Zhan.

After all, they were once admired prodigies.

Used to others catering to them, they found it impossible to cater to others suddenly.

Of course...

The attendees of this celebration banquet weren't just members of Tianyan Academy.

Situ Bingling, Xiao Ruoming, Liu Xi, Ye Tian, and other prodigies from various schools whom Ling Zhan had saved were also there.

They naturally came to formally thank Ling Zhan for saving their lives.

It's worth mentioning that Su Huohuo also came. This delicate girl with round black-framed glasses and braided pigtails only stole glances at Ling Zhan's back with her peripheral vision.

And the deans Zhou Hongfu and Han Qiao were also present.

They spoke of two extremely important matters.

The first was the demon extermination operation.

The second was about contracted magical beasts...
