▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Seeing the attributes of this Tier 5 gold-quality ring, Lin Mo couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"5000 points of base attack?"
"Three additional attributes, totaling over 700 Agility."
Just these attribute bonuses alone were already explosive.
And besides that, previously, Tier 3 and Tier 2 equipment, even if they were also gold quality, only had fixed-value bonuses in their affixes.
But this Power of Dominion directly introduced percentage-based bonuses.
Anyone who's played games knows this: fixed stats are strong in the early stages.
But the further you go into mid to late game, percentage-based bonuses become more valuable.
And at level 50, the game was already entering the mid stage.
Even though equipping it would break Lin Mo's complete Venom Set bonus.
Compared to the strength of [Shadow · Power of Dominion], a mere skill like [Immune to All Poisons] simply wasn't worth mentioning.
Without hesitation, Lin Mo immediately replaced the Tier 3 Sky · Venom Ring he was wearing with this Tier 5 Shadow · Power of Dominion.
Then he opened his status panel and took a look.
His attack stat shot up instantly from 5920 points to 9100 points.
His Agility also surged from 920 points to 1510 points.
"Let's see how the first Tier 5 gold equipment on the entire server performs in actual combat."
With excitement in his chest, Lin Mo took out a Duel Ticket from his bag and crushed it.
Whoosh!
White light fell, and Lin Mo returned to the arena.
———
As the iron gate opened, this time, his opponent was the same as his very first match: a level 52 Iron Armored Rhino.
[Ding~ Duel time 60-second countdown has begun. Please kill the Iron Armored Rhino!]
Roar!
Amid a furious bellow, the Iron Armored Rhino charged straight at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo raised his Venom Crossbow.
The moment the Iron Armored Rhino entered the 50-yard effective range, the equipment effect of Shadow · Power of Dominion, Shadow Judgment, activated automatically.
Whoosh!
A gray weakening aura enveloped the Iron Armored Rhino.
Defense reduced by 18%, damage taken increased by 12%.
The next second—
Whoosh!
The SSS-grade Ice · Extreme Frost Grip shot out from Lin Mo's hand, precisely striking the rhino's horn and triggering a weak point attack.
-89732 (Critical)!
[Ding~ Killed level 52 Iron Armored Rhino. EXP +100000! Copper Coins +27!]
Instant kill.
Lin Mo was stunned.
Same target, same skill.
Before equipping Shadow · Power of Dominion, even with a critical hit, he could only deal around 45,000 damage. It took two SSS-grade skill combinations to kill one rhino.
But after equipping it, his skill damage directly doubled, one skill was enough to kill instantly.
Looking at the Tier 5 gold ring on his hand, Lin Mo said in shock, "Tier 5 gold gear… this strong?"
The difference between killing with two skill combos and killing with a single skill was enormous.
Because SSS-grade skills take up too many skill slots, he currently only had four skills.
Originally, four skills could only kill two monsters.
Now, they could kill four.
That meant within the same amount of time, Lin Mo's monster-killing efficiency had doubled.
With the support of this Tier 5 ring, Lin Mo's killing speed skyrocketed.
[Ding~ Congratulations! Your win streak has reached 10. You have obtained an additional streak reward: EXP +1000000, Silver Coins +3, Reputation +3, E-grade Magic Scroll · Streak Blessing +1!]
[Ding~ Congratulations! Your win streak has reached 10. You have obtained an additional streak reward: EXP +1000000, Silver Coins +3, Reputation +3, E-grade Magic Scroll · Streak Blessing +1!]
.
.
.
Very quickly, all 55 tickets were used up.
Lin Mo easily secured a perfect record of 55 consecutive wins.
Meanwhile, Ning Xi, although also undefeated, had just finished her 52nd match.
Lin Mo couldn't help but let out a breath of relief.
"Good thing I turned things around with the shadow ring."
At least he managed to save face.
So Lin Mo gave Ning Xi a mischievous smile, "You lost. You've got to agree to one condition from me."
Ning Xi's little face turned red as she argued, "Brother Lin Mo, you clearly said we'd compare who has more consecutive wins, not who finishes faster!"
"My streak hasn't been broken yet! That doesn't count as losing!"
As the obedient girl's innocence gradually faded, Lin Mo finally began to see the shadow of the number one female emperor of the Dragon Nation server from his previous life in Ning Xi.
In his previous life, Empress Xiyue had been just like this.
No matter the situation, no matter the hardship or danger, she never gave up hope. That unyielding spirit of never admitting defeat had left a deep impression on Lin Mo.
So Lin Mo laughed, "Oh? Not willing to admit defeat?"
"Fine, then let's continue."
As he spoke, Lin Mo went back to the arena manager Anna and bought another 200 tickets.
Including the extra 20 bonus tickets, he and Ning Xi each got 110, and the duel continued.
What Lin Mo never expected was that this duel between him and Ning Xi would last for three whole days.
Three full days.
Aside from eating and sleeping, every moment they were online was spent immersed in the Hell Arena.
This level of determination from the future Empress even shocked Lin Mo.
But at the same time, it made his desire to conquer this Empress grow even stronger.
He had to win.
And so, over three entire days, Lin Mo set the highest win streak record in the history of Inferno City's Hell Arena: 10,012 consecutive wins.
Ning Xi ultimately fell just short.
But for only just short, her actual record was still astonishing: a total of 9,768 consecutive wins.
Comparing their records, Ning Xi looked a bit upset, "Brother Lin Mo, I lost…"
Lin Mo had won against Ning Xi. But not completely.
"Your streak hasn't been broken yet. You didn't lose."
As soon as he said that, light returned to Ning Xi's eyes.
"If we keep going like this, we won't get a result even in a lifetime. Besides, we won't be fighting in the Hell Arena anymore anyway. Let's call it a draw."
Lin Mo had given Ning Xi plenty of face.
After all, the unyielding spirit of the Empress from his previous life couldn't be crushed in his hands.
"Not fighting anymore?", Ning Xi asked curiously.
"Yeah, no more," Lin Mo said, "We've got enough Streak Blessings."
Every 10-win streak granted one Streak Blessing.
Over the past three days, Lin Mo had achieved over ten thousand wins, and his warehouse was already piled with a full 1,000 Streak Blessings.
Ning Xi was even more outrageous.
Because every time she received a streak reward, she used her "Supreme of Ninety-Five" talent to amplify it tenfold.
The number of Streak Blessing scrolls she obtained reached a terrifying 9,760.
Together, the two of them had over ten thousand Streak Blessings.
That would probably be enough for their entire journey through the second-tier main city arena.
So there was no need to keep grinding the Hell Arena anymore.
Secondly—
"Players have already started reaching level 50 one after another and arriving at the second-tier main city."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Super God Arena should open tomorrow."
