As Shifeng chanted inwardly, the Seed of Flame in Shifeng's palm transformed into streaks of gray light that flowed into Shifeng's body, disappearing instantly.
The instant the streaks of gray light entered his body, Shifeng could not help but grit his teeth.
It hurt too much!
This pain was incomparable to absorbing a Tier 3 Mysterious Flame. He felt as if his blood was boiling, and his bones felt as if ants were gnawing at them.
If not for his recent breakthrough in Concentration, he wouldn't have been able to endure this pain.
A short moment later, a system fusion bar appeared before him. However, the rate of the fusion bar's increase was extraordinarily slow. It only increased by 1% after roughly ten seconds …
Even relying on the Seed of Flame is so difficult. It's no wonder so few players managed to grasp Tier 4 Mysterious Flames in the past.
Realization dawned on Shifeng as he looked at the slowly increasing fusion bar.
Enduring such pain for even a second was enough to drive anyone crazy. Moreover, this was after absorbing a weakened Tier 4 Mysterious Flame. He dared not imagine what would happen if it were not weakened.
In fact, Shifeng even suspected that those who had grasped a Tier 4 Mysterious Flame in the past had used some special method to absorb the Mysterious Flame.
After all, he had tempered himself in God's Domain for ten years. In this life, his mental fortitude had also grown tremendously. He believed that his mental fortitude was not the slightest bit inferior to those monsters in God's Domain. However, even absorbing a weakened Tier 4 Mysterious Flame had been so difficult. Absorbing an unweakened Tier 4 Mysterious Flame?
3% … 10% … 30% …
Hang in there!
I must hang in there!
Shifeng gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. However, his complexion had never been this pale before.
Time passed quickly. As time passed, the fusion bar's rate of increase slowed. After two hours, the fusion bar had only reached 73%. It was still far from 100%.
However, when the Mysterious Flame's fusion rate reached 60%, the Seed of Mysterious Flame emitted a powerful mental assault that continuously battered the depths of Shi Feng's mind.
When the Seed of Flame reached 74%, Shifeng nearly collapsed to the ground. He felt his consciousness begin to blur, and he felt as if he were about to lose control of his body.
"This won't do. Absorbing this Tier 4 Mysterious Flame's power is getting stronger and stronger. If this goes on, even if my Concentration isn't exhausted, I'm afraid I'll faint from the mental impact." Shifeng felt that his consciousness had almost blurred, and he could not help but grit his teeth and wake up. "I have to think of a way to resist this mental attack, or else I won't be able to last until the end."
During the fusion state, players had to stay awake until the end. Otherwise, the fusion would fail.
Thinking up to this point, the Shifeng also began to use their mental resistance techniques to resist the mental attack from the Seed of Strange Flame. The moment the mental attack arrived, they fused their mental energy into a single point, making it as hard as a rock.
It had to be said that this mental resistance technique had a miraculous effect.
However, before Shi Feng could rejoice for long, when his fusion bar reached 80%, as if he had discovered a secret, the frequency of his mental assaults increased. Previously, it had been one attack per second, but in the blink of an eye, it had increased to two attacks per second, then three … four … five …
It was as if there was no end to it as it crazily attacked the Shifeng's mind.
"You can do this as well?" The Shifeng was momentarily dumbfounded.
His mental condensation technique could only be maintained for an instant. It was similar to a person tensing their muscles for an instant. The moment they tensed up, their muscles would become very firm. However, the corresponding consumption of energy would be very high, and the duration of the mental condensation technique would be very short. Meanwhile, the mental condensation technique was much more complex, and the duration of the mental condensation technique was much shorter.
With such a high frequency of mental attacks, the Shifeng did not dare relax at all. He had no choice but to maintain this mental condensation state for an extended period of time. Only when he relaxed during the mental attacks did he feel indescribably uncomfortable.
83% … 87% … 92% …
As the frequency of the mental attacks increased, the time Shifeng had to catch his breath also decreased. In fact, the Shifeng even felt like he was suffocating.
"It's not there yet?"
Shifeng glanced at the fusion bar with great difficulty, feeling as if he would collapse at any moment.
At this moment, the pain he felt was nothing compared to the mental asphyxiation he was experiencing. He even instinctively ignored the burning pain from the Mysterious Flame. Instead, the only thought in his mind was to find an opportunity to catch his breath.
Just as Shifeng felt as if he was about to suffocate to death, an incomparably pleasant, cold voice reached his ears.
System: Seed of Hell's Flame assimilation complete. The Hell's Flame has been bound to player Ye Feng's Private Item.
System: Congratulations! After being tempered by the Hell's Flame, all Attributes permanently increased by 300 points. All Basic Attributes increased by 10%, physique increased by 20%, reaction speed increased by 20%, mental control increased by 40%, Fire Resistance + 150, Ice Resistance + 150. You now have 100% control over the Hell's Flame. Mastery over the fire-type Mana increased by 20%.
Hearing this, Shifeng took a deep breath, feeling as if he had come back to life.
Meanwhile, after relaxing for a moment, Shifeng also felt the Hell's Flame's energy fill his body. Not only did his weakened mental state recover rapidly, but it even improved. His perception of his surroundings also became clearer than ever.
So, this is the power of a Tier 4 Mysterious Flame?
At this moment, Shifeng felt as if he had been reborn. Although his Basic Attributes hadn't increased by much, his perception of the world around him felt as if he had stepped into a whole new world.
His Concentration, in particular, had only been at the Tier 4 Intermediate standard. Now, it was definitely at the Tier 4 Peak standard.
Meanwhile, while his physical body and Concentration had received a significant boost, the Hell's Flame's power had also increased.
[Hell's Flame] (Tier 4 Mysterious Flame) After use, damage increased by 100%. Effects of fire-type Spells and Skills increased by 100%. At the same time, there is a 150% mental impact effect. Success rate for forging, alchemy, cooking, and other items increased by 25%.
After seeing the Tier 4 Mysterious Flame's effects, Shifeng finally understood why Tier 4 Mysterious Flames had become legends in God's Domain. The Flame's effects were simply too powerful.
Whether it was in terms of combat or Lifestyle classes, the Hell's Flame was simply heaven-defying.
The Hell's Flame's attacks, in particular, actually carried a mental impact effect. This was far more powerful than pure physical and magical attacks. In God's Domain, mental impacts did not have a clear Attribute. Similarly, there were no methods to block them. Unlike weapons and equipment, which could increase one's Physical or Magic Defense, the Hell's Flame's effects were tangible.
Mental impacts, on the other hand, did not exist.
If one's body was not strong enough, they would instantly lose control of their body. Even if the Hell's Flame's effects were slightly weaker, it could still cause the opponent to react unevenly.
Currently, even with the Hell's Flame, Shi Feng dared to face a Superior Mythic monster of the same level head-on.
However, Shifeng was still most optimistic about the Tier 4 Mysterious Flame's support effects.
A 25% success rate was something even a Grandmaster Forger yearned for. The higher the rank of an item, the lower the success rate. Normally, the system would set a maximum success rate, which was the upper limit. Even after reaching the Grandmaster standard, players could not reach this upper limit. Not to mention, the various tools that increased the success rate would decrease as the item's rank increased. Only Mysterious Flames were an exception.
With the Tier 4 Hell's Flame, even if I try to forge an Epic Weapon, I'll have a 30% success rate. Shifeng was indescribably excited.
When he had first obtained the Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment, he had not been very confident of successfully forging it. Firstly, he had not wanted to waste materials. Mana Adamantine was simply too rare. Even on the continent of God's Domain, it was as rare as Seven Luminaries Crystals.
Secondly, he had wanted to replace the Mana Adamantine with Mana Adamantine, which was easier to find. Only, this required relatively high-purity Mana Iron Ingots.
A Tier 3 Mysterious Flame was indeed amazing when it came to smelting. However, it was still too difficult to refine a Special Mana Iron Ingot. At most, he could refine an Advanced Mana Iron Ingot. Only a Tier 4 Mysterious Flame had such a possibility.
Of course, a Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment forged from Special Mana Iron Ingots would be slightly inferior to an actual Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment in all aspects. However, it should still be capable of rivaling Tier 4 Mythic monsters.
Just as Shifeng was thinking of a way to mass-produce Tier 3 Mana Set Equipment, he suddenly received a call from Fire Dance.
After accepting the call, Shifeng looked at Fire Dance, who was currently presiding over Sky Spring City's affairs, strangely and asked, "Did something happen in Sky Spring City?"
After the battle at the Secret Covenant Tower, the Mobile Fortress's fame had shaken the entire God's Domain. Currently, not a single power in the Twin Towers Kingdom dared to make an enemy out of Ling Yi. Hence, it should be the best time for the Mobile Fortress to recuperate. There shouldn't be any problems in the Twin Towers Kingdom.
"No. It's just that too many people are applying to join our Ling Yi Society," Fire Dance said, smiling bitterly. Smiling bitterly, Fire Dance said, "In just half a day, Zero Wing has gained an additional 500,000 members. Among them, the number of Tier 3 experts has increased by more than 10,000. The top-tier weapons and equipment we obtained from the battle at Sky Spring City are practically gone. If we don't replenish them soon, we won't be able to expand even if we want to."
"I understand." Upon hearing Fire Dance's words, Shifeng understood. Chuckling, he said, "I still have some top-tier Epic Weapons and Equipment and Level 130-plus equipment. Store them in the Guild Warehouse. They should last us for a while. I'll deal with them later."
Fire Dance nodded in agreement. Although she understood that Shi Feng could bring out some weapons and equipment, they wouldn't last more than half an hour against an entire Guild of Zero Wing's members. A few Epic Weapons and Equipment and several hundred Level 130 Weapons and Equipment wouldn't last more than 30 minutes.
However, before Fire Dance could think of a way to obtain more weapons and equipment, a new batch of weapons and equipment suddenly appeared in Ling Yi's Guild Warehouse.
These weapons and equipment were none other than the top-tier Epic Weapons and Equipment Shifeng had purchased from the ancient God's Domain. There were also the various weapons and equipment they had obtained from grinding in the Antimagic Volcano. There were over 6,000 pieces of Level 130-plus equipment, and the weakest among them was Bronze rank.
