Chapter 270 Upgrade, upgrade, or XX is still an upgrade!
Li Ang slowly recounted how he sensed the spatial anomaly in the living room, the resonance of the Sage's Ring, was swallowed by golden light and transported to Avalon, was rescued by Mia, went to the Lost Nest and met Lillian, learned the rules there, allied with August, participated in the Silver Dew Manor operation, discovered the secret of the Divine Scepter, planned the attack on the Sacred Armory, single-handedly held off the Elf King and the Valkyrie, unlocked the scepter, brought forward the ritual, and finally, in the final battle—
He spoke in great detail, only omitting the part about the old summer and the existence of the Fire of Power. When he spoke of the Titans of Life and the Titans of Wisdom, and the truth about their imprisonment and exploitation by the Elven King, Eve showed an expression of knowing certainty.
Finally, as Li Ang recounted how he drank from the Fountain of Wisdom and then, with the help of the power of the Holy Mark, briefly broke through the legendary realm to kill the Elf King, Eve had already put down her teacup, placed her hands folded on her knees, and listened with utmost concentration.
"—And then, this is what you see." Li Ang finished his story, picked up the now-cooled black tea, and took a sip.
"Through the power of the Titan of Life, Sherry was resurrected, we left the altar, met August, and then came here."
After Li Ang finished recounting his experience, the living room fell silent for a moment before Eve began to tell him what had happened to her.
That night, Eve had just changed out of her bathrobe and was preparing to go to the workshop to continue refining a new batch of potions when, just as she reached out to open the door, the surrounding air suddenly froze, and some kind of high-intensity spatial energy forcibly tore apart the protective array in her room.
Then Phoenix appeared silently in her room, accompanied by dozens of Valkyries clad in golden armor.
Eve's mental strength did indeed reach the level of a fourth-level wizard, but her combat ability was seriously mismatched with her mental strength.
Having spent years immersed in potion research, she has mastered very few spells, most of which are low-level spells for controlling the environment or assisting in the refining process.
Her strongest instantaneous attack is only level two [Frost Scatter], which is fine against ordinary wizards, but it seems rather weak and ineffective against Phoenix and the Valkyrie.
The moment the shards of ice burst open in the air, they were vanished by an invisible force field. Eve didn't even have time to cry for help before a Valkyrie approached like a ghost, her gauntlets bearing special runes gently pressing against the back of her neck.
Then a strong sense of numbness instantly swept over her body, and her vision went completely black. When she regained consciousness, she was bound in the room by an invisible restriction.
Eve, who was imprisoned, was supposed to be taken away for purification the next day. Fortunately, August appeared and delayed the ritual. Then she was transferred to another room until today when she was taken to the Tree of Life. She thought she would die there, but she didn't expect to see Li Ang. She also didn't expect to be saved by Li Ang.
At this moment, Li Ang seemed to think of something and asked, "By the way, Carlos, the faction leader—he seems to know something."
'
Eve nodded, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
"My father—he probably vaguely sensed that I would one day return here. My mother mentioned Avalon to him before she returned, and perhaps my father thought it was a safe place where I could escape the conflicts of the outside world, and even avoid the end."
She paused, her voice even lower, "But he probably doesn't know—the so-called return is just wishful thinking; they just want me to be the sacrifice to steal the Titans' power."
After listening to Eve's account, Li Ang nodded silently, his gaze falling on her slightly clenched fingers, which revealed the lingering fear and humiliation beneath her calm words.
Li Ang reached out and gently patted Eve's slightly thin shoulder. Words were inadequate at this moment, and this was the only way Li Ang could comfort her.
Dinner was meticulously prepared by the two sheep-woman maids: tender, spiced stew, golden-brown bread, a sweet fruit and vegetable salad, and a small jug of estate-made wine. The dishes themselves were not luxurious, but the ingredients were fresh and the cooking was exquisite, showing that they were prepared with care. Although it was just simple food, it brought Eve a long-lost sense of satisfaction.
After dinner, Eve and Leon said goodnight to each other and then returned to their respective rooms. However, Leon did not go to sleep but sat cross-legged on the bed.
It's time to properly digest the biggest takeaway from this trip: the "Passing on the Torch" authority.
Li Ang closed his eyes and sensed the complete power of inheritance within his spiritual world.
"The star requirement for the upgrade has been removed," he muttered to himself.
Now, item upgrades are no longer limited by the number of stars; the only remaining hurdle is mental power itself.
His current total mental energy is more than three times that of a wizard of the same level. Moreover, he also has the [Sage's Ring] as an extra reserve.
"Alright, let's begin."
He first focused his attention on the [Acceleration Pocket Watch]. This piece of equipment could greatly increase the speed of mental energy recovery and accelerate the recovery of physical strength, making it undoubtedly the core of improving efficiency at present.
With a slight thought, the power of the torch responds, guiding out a vast spiritual force, which in turn draws upon even more inherited power, infusing it into the internal structure of the pocket watch.
Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade!
The form and performance of pocket watches have been continuously upgraded and optimized, from LV15 to LV18 to LV20!
[Acceleration Pocket Watch LV20]
Stamina recovery speed +200%, Mental energy recovery speed +200%
The effect was doubled! But that wasn't all. Without stopping, Li Ang turned his attention to the [Sage's Ring].
The same immense spiritual energy was poured in, and the space and structure within the ring used to store spiritual energy were optimized and expanded layer by layer.
LV15-LV18-LV20!
[Sage's Ring LV20]
[Additional Mental Energy Reserve: 105 points]
With another hundred points of extra mental energy reserves, Li Ang's spirits lifted. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately used the newly added reserves and threw them into the [Acceleration Pocket Watch] once more.
Driven by the Sage's Ring, the pocket watch's level continued to increase: LV25 - LV28 - LV30!
[Acceleration Pocket Watch LV30]
Stamina recovery speed +300%, Mental energy recovery speed +300%
"It's done." Li Ang let out a long breath, his eyes filled with excitement. A 300% recovery boost meant that his endurance would reach a terrifying level.
With the reserves from the [Sage's Ring], the mental power he can currently use far exceeds that of an ordinary level four wizard, and has even touched the edge of level five.
He didn't stop. Overnight, with his mental energy restored to 300%, he upgraded his core equipment one piece after another: the [Ring of Foresight], the [Ring of Protection], and the [Windhawk Wood Wand]—all his important magical items reached level 30 under the power of the Fire.
