Chapter 81: Chapter 78: Limit Breaker

[In the year 806 of the Spiritual Element, the Huaxia National College Entrance Examination officially ended.]

[World Event: The Huaxia National Examination ensured basic fairness, confirmed effectiveness, and will reward outstanding awakened candidates.]

[Your rank is: 1st place.]

[You have obtained the hidden title: Limit Breaker.]

[Limit Breaker: All combat specializations and skill levels for you and your slaves +1 level. You ignore the shackles of levels and rules, allowing you to upgrade your combat specialization without limitation. This title is passively effective permanently without need for equipping.]

Bai Pu sat beside a pile of broken bones, watching the message suddenly sent by the Spirit Realm Will.

Limit Breaker, obviously, Bai Pu broke the score limit of 1000 points for the High School Awakening Scroll, earning the hidden title.

The first half of the Limit Breaker title is easy to understand; all combat specializations and skill levels increased by one level, which is certainly an excellent reward.

But the latter half is quite intriguing.

What does “ignore the shackles of levels and rules” mean?

The level of an awakened is very important. An advanced awakened facing a low-level awakened gains additional damage bonuses and damage reductions based on the level difference!

On the other hand, the level also determines the upper limit of combat specialization—

For example, Bai Pu is a Level 3 Awakener; no matter how hard he trains, his combat specialization can only be trained to the 99% level of Level 3; it’s impossible to surpass Level 4.

But now, with the ability of the hidden title [Limit Breaker], Bai Pu can possess a combat specialization beyond his own level!

This is usually the privilege of powerful Spirit Realm Natives.

Generally speaking, Spirit Realm creatures with weak templates have specialties below their own level; standard templates have specialties equivalent to their level.

The elite and enhanced elite templates have specialties one level higher than their own; leader template, specialties are more than two levels higher!

Of course, there are exceptions, like Cao Zhang. Although he is a leader template, his combat specialization is not high, probably because he is young, and his martial arts are not mature.

This is also an important reason why people like Overlord and Crazy Zen are confident in killing Cao Zhang alone.

“This title’s passive ability… the improvement itself is already high, and the growth potential is extremely astonishing.”

Bai Pu made this judgment.

He is not a combat novice anymore; he is experienced, and he knows very well the importance of combat specialization.

It can be said that four-dimensional attributes and combat specialization are the two legs of an awakened’s strength, indispensable!

If an awakened has a strong attribute panel but not a corresponding combat specialization, it is easy to be overwhelmed by strong ones of the same level.

Bai Pu was very satisfied with this title ability. He also noticed that [Limit Breaker] can not only ignore the shackles of levels but also the shackles of rules!

The latter half of the meaning, although Bai Pu can guess roughly, he has no definite idea yet, so he temporarily put it aside.

He can be certain of one thing, ignoring the shackles of rules is definitely a strong ability, and the later the stage, the greater its effect.

Messages from the Spirit Realm Will continued:

[Congratulations on winning the champion of the 806 Huaxia National Examination.]

[You have won a chance to draw from the Champion Scholar Roulette. Would you like to draw now?]

Bai Pu chose yes, and in front of him, a huge Dark Gold Wheel quickly appeared, flashing with a low-key and noble dark gold luster, with only the central pointer being purple.

The Dark Gold Wheel was evenly divided into four areas, each with a different pattern.

Bai Pu examined each one.

The first pattern is a humanoid silhouette with an arm raised to show the biceps, representing “Personal Attribute Enhancement”, which would reward free attribute points upon winning.

The second is a pattern of weapons and armor, naturally representing “Equipment”, with the highest said to be dark gold level equipment.

The third is a pattern of a scroll and inkwell, representing “Items”.

The fourth is a pattern of coins, representing Spiritual Points.

This is probably the one that no one wants to draw. Although the reward of Spiritual Points is large, a large number of free attribute points, dark gold equipment, and rare items cannot be bought with Spiritual Points!

“As long as it’s not Spiritual Points, it’s fine.”

Bai Pu turned the purple pointer.

The pointer spun wildly, and Bai Pu’s heart couldn’t help but be on edge—it was impossible for him to influence the pointer, watching it slowly cross into the Spiritual Points area, such anxiety was indescribable!

Fortunately, the pointer, slow as a turtle crawl, stubbornly passed over the Spiritual Points area and entered the personal attribute enhancement area.

“Personal attribute is very good.” Bai Pu actually desired this the most.

Because equipment will eventually be fully equipped, but attribute points will not. Last year’s champion, Wan Zhen, drew 20 free attributes, which Bai Pu considered more valuable than a piece of dark gold equipment.

However, the pointer, in defiance of wishes, slowly and firmly entered the “Equipment” area, eventually stopping there.

The Equipment area rippled with dark gold light, mixed with white, green, blue, gold, and various colored halos.

Bai Pu felt uneasy in his heart, wondering if it would give him a whiteboard equipment to brush off. But it couldn’t be that ridiculous.

Eventually, green light dominated, and amidst the flashing green light, an equipment floated before Bai Pu.

[You have obtained the set: Iron Waist Guard of the Immortal King.]

[Iron Waist Guard of the Immortal King (Sealed)]

[Equipment Quality: Green (Set)]

[Equipment Requirement: Basic Power 20]

[Equipment Slot: Waist]

[Attributes: Power +2, Endurance +5]

[Additional Skill 1: Expansion: Increases storage space by an additional (10) cubic meters for the wearer.]

[Additional Skill 2: Quick Armament: Grants the wearer two quick equipment slots, allowing quick weapon switching in battle (requires pre-insertion of backup weapons).]

[Durability: 40/40]

[Description: Though mountains flatten and seas dry, only I remain immortal.]

Set!

Bai Pu squinted; the set is independently marked outside the white-blue-gold equipment system, marked by unique green.

Generally, the attributes of a green set are not outstanding, equivalent to a level of golden equipment. But if one can collect set pieces and activate set special effects, it becomes terrifying!

This equipment, Bai Pu temporarily put away.

He believes the greatest value of this set is in trading. Given his current impoverished Spiritual Points account and empty storage space, he is unable to acquire other parts of the [Immortal King] set.

Conversely, selling to those urgently needing the [Immortal King] set parts could fetch a high premium, allowing Bai Pu’s early development to be faster and better.

The Dark Gold Wheel did not disappear, and the Spirit Realm Will’s message came again.

[You drew a green equipment: Iron Waist Guard of the Immortal King, and its estimation failed to meet the expected reward standard of the Champion Scholar Roulette.]

[The remaining value will be quantified as a reward for you. You can choose to quantify it in the form of Spiritual Points or Free Attribute Points.]

There was no doubt; Bai Pu decisively chose the quantification form of free attribute points.

[Quantification completed. You have gained 7 free attribute points, please allocate them within 1 minute, otherwise, the free attribute points will disappear.]

Bai Pu originally wanted to save the free attribute points for critical times. With this 1-minute limit, he didn’t think too much and directly added them to Power.

His Basic Power soared to 19 points, reaching as high as 29 points including equipment bonuses! 3 points higher than his main attribute, Endurance.

It’s not that Bai Pu doesn’t value Endurance; the Basic Power 20-point equipment requirement for this [Iron Waist Guard of the Immortal King] reminded Bai Pu—

The high-quality equipment that will appear in the future often requires high Basic Power, so preparation is necessary.

As for Endurance, it can be compensated with equipment that has endurance attributes.

The Dark Gold Wheel dissipated into a stream of smoke-like particles.

“So this is how the Champion Scholar Roulette works, providing reward valuation accordingly to the awakened! Even if luck is extremely poor and a whiteboard equipment is drawn, there should be compensation in valuation, resulting in a gain equivalent to the valuation of a dark gold equipment.”

Bai Pu got up and continued to hone himself in combat on the third layer of the White Bone Cave.
