Jiang Yelan walked out of the Council Hall, the night breeze brushing against her face with a hint of chilliness.
Standing on the steps, she looked up at the moon.
The moonlight fell on her face, softening her usually cold features.
She looked down at the blue booklet in her hand, then at the palm of her other hand; where the hilt of the shadow moon blade once rested, there was now only moonlight.
Putting the booklet away, she turned and walked toward her residence.
After a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked back at the second-floor window of the Council Hall. The light there was still on.
She withdrew her gaze, quickened her pace, and disappeared into the night.
Behind her, the moonlight was like water, drenching the empty streets.
...
Lin Feng stood by the window for a long ti.
The moonlight was like water, spilling over every inch of Beacon Fire Town.
The distant city walls shimred with a silver-gray light under the moon, and the torches on the arrow towers looked like beating stars.
He could hear the footsteps of the night patrol, the wailing of the wind through the streets, and the barking of dogs from sowhere.
Everything was so quiet, so ordinary. It was as if that blood moon from earlier had just been an illusion.
Lin Feng withdrew his gaze and took out the yellow headband from his robes.
It was the equipnt dropped by the Yellow Turban Ritualist. He had only hurriedly put it away back at the stronghold and hadn't had ti to look at it closely.
Now, as the moonlight shone on the headband, the yellow silk gave off a cold luster, and the gem in the center seed to have clouds and mist swirling within it.
With a slight thought, the attribute panel appeared before his eyes.
【yellow turban sacrificial officials headband】
Part: Head Accessory (Headband)
Quality: Purple
Basic Attributes:
Defense: 65
Strength: 1
Special Effect · Peace Sanctuary (Passive): Resistance to negative states (poison, curse, fear, dizziness, etc.) increased by 20%.
Special Effect · Peace Sanctuary (Active · Cooldown 30 minutes): Imdiately clears all negative states from oneself and restores 20% of maximum HP.
Lin Feng's brows rose slightly.
65 points of defense was significantly higher than the crimson blood headband he was currently wearing. Although 1 Strength wasn't much, every little bit counted.
And those two special effects—the passive increased negative resistance by 20%, and the active cleared all negative states while healing.
"As expected of purple equipnt," he murmured. "The effects are powerful."
He reached up and took off the crimson blood headband. The dark red headband lay in his palm for a mont before he casually placed it on the table. Then, he tied the yellow headband around his forehead.
The mont he put it on, a purple light erupted from his entire body, bathing the whole room in a deep purple!
The light was like flowing water, spreading from his forehead to his limbs and bones; every inch of skin and every muscle trembled slightly.
But it only lasted for a brief two seconds. The purple light suddenly retracted, and everything returned to normal.
Lin Feng blinked, and just as he was about to feel the changes brought by the new equipnt, a piece of information appeared out of thin air in his mind.
It wasn't a system prompt, but more like an instinctive realization, as if sothing had awakened within his body.
【Purple Set Effect · Activated】
Detected Purple quality equipnt: 4/4
Activated parts: Weapon, Head, Leg, Foot
Set Effect (Activated):
HP 1000
Damage reduction after a successful block 30%
Active Skill · Armor Unification: Upon activation, purple light surfaces across the body. Duration: 3 minutes. Cooldown: 30 minutes.
While the skill is active, no matter which part of the body the enemy attacks, damage calculation will be based on the total defense of the entire body.
Lin Feng was stunned.
Four purple pieces—the weapon Wildfire Spear, the head yellow turban sacrificial officials headband, the leg shadow dance legguards, and the foot windchaser boots—had actually activated a set effect.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and looked back at the active skill description, his mind calculating rapidly.
What was his total defense? He imdiately pulled up the panel.
【Lin Feng · Total Defense】
Head: yellow turban sacrificial officials headband 65
Chest: rock-solid chestplate (Blue) 35
Waist: bone-patterned belt (Blue) 25
Leg: shadow dance legguards (Purple) 55
constitution: 36.5
Total Defense: 216.5
216.5 defense.
If he activated Armor Unification, then for three minutes, any damage from an attack on him would have to be reduced by 216.5 defense points before taking effect.
This ant that enemies with an attack power lower than 216.5 would be completely unable to break through his defense.
Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly.
What was the attack power of a regular Yellow Turban Army soldier? Less than a hundred. A Yellow Turban Strongman's attack power was at most a hundred.
Even for a Yellow Turban Fierce General, a single slash would only be around two hundred, which still wouldn't break his defense.
"Too strong..." Lin Feng whispered to himself, his voice carrying an irrepressible shock.
He stared at the line "Total Defense: 216.5" on the panel and then looked back at the skill description.
This was the power of a Purple Set.
He forced himself to calm down. Armor Unification only lasted for three minutes after activation, and the cooldown was thirty ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) minutes.
But three minutes was enough to do many things.
For example, charging into an army of two thousand n and charging in and out seven tis.
A smile tugged at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. He walked to the bedside, leaned the Wildfire Spear against the headboard, and lay down.
Moonlight shone through the window onto his face. The yellow headband shimred with a faint luster in the moonlight, and the cloud-like patterns within the central gem slowly swirled.
Lin Feng's breathing beca steady. The yellow headband flickered slightly in the moonlight, like a sleeping eye.
Tomorrow would be a new day.
...
The next morning, sunlight poured through the windows of the Council Hall, illuminating the entire hall brightly.
When Lin Feng walked in, everyone was already there. Su Yurou sat in the front row on the right, holding her blue crystal staff; her aura was completely different from before.
ng Yi stood by the window, his posture straight, his iron half-armor glinting coldly in the morning light.
Then Lin Feng noticed Shadow Snake.
She sat in the back row on the right, leaning against a pillar, her posture as quiet as usual. But sothing was different.
There was an extrely faint smile at the corner of her mouth—not a fleeting curve, but a smile that welled up from her heart, almost overflowing.
Her eyes were also brighter than usual, like a misty lake surface being cleared by the wind, revealing the clear water beneath.
Lin Feng sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over everyone.
"There are a few things to discuss today."
The hall fell silent as everyone looked at him.
"First," Lin Feng looked at Shadow Snake, "Shadow Snake has beco a subordinate lord of Beacon Fire Town."
The hall was silent for a mont, and then it erupted.
"subordinate lord?" Tie Dun was the first to jump up, his eyes wide and round. "Doesn't that make her the sa as our Lord?"
Zhao Hu slapped him on the back of the head. "Watch your mouth. How can a subordinate lord be the sa as the Lord?"
But his own face also carried surprise, and the way he looked at Shadow Snake changed slightly.
Su Yurou put down her staff, turned to Shadow Snake, and said with a smile, "Sister Shadow Snake, congratulations."
