Chapter 75 - Suit Effect (2/2)
Despite that, it was still a suit. As compared to a single piece of equipment, a suit had a much higher advantage.
Even if they were the judges, they could not go against their conscience by saying that Ou Yangming was the winner.
After all, n.o.body was foolish or blind. Even if the blacksmiths were shameless, the generals would not sit idly by.
Zheng Ziwen sensed the power quietly, then opened his eyes after a brief moment. He shouted excitedly, “A suit, this is definitely a suit!”
Ou Yangming took a step forward to ask, “Master Zheng, may I take a look at it?”
Zheng Ziwen removed the equipment set reluctantly, but cursed to himself, ‘Although it’s a suit, only the helmet and the armor responded. You should’ve pointed it out in the first place, so I didn’t have to put on every piece of equipment.’
Ou Yangming took the helmet and the armor. He looked like he was inspecting them, but the Military Fire in his hands had actually flashed a few times.
[Item: Distinguished armor]
[Equivalent Rank: Ordinary Tool, High Grade, Rank Five]
[Attributes: Toughness +15, Durability 15]
[Item: Distinguished helmet<sup>1</sup> (Red)]
[Equivalent Rank: Ordinary Tool, High Grade, Rank Four]
[Attributes: Sharpness +14, Toughness +14, Power +1, Durability 14]
Judging from the two pieces of equipment individually, it seemed like nothing was out of the ordinary such that the ones smithed by Ou Yangming were not inferior to them at all.
However, Ou Yangming could not forget the unforgettable green color.
That was because he had a vague feeling that the green color would be unusually important to him.
Zheng Ziwen kindly reminded Ou Yangming after seeing him being deep in thoughts, “Master Ou, that’s a suit, so the power can only be sensed if you put the pieces of equipment on.”
Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and was slightly moved. Instead of putting them on, he placed them together.
Next, his Military Fire burned again.
Of course, it only burned a little in his palms, hence the powerhouses and blacksmith experts present did not notice it at all.
This time, the attribute layout that appeared in Ou Yangming’s mind was completely different.
Other than the basic attributes of the two pieces of equipment, a set of green words appeared.
[Suit Combination: Increases physique by 10%, increases the upper limit of defensive power by 10%]
Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched as soon as he saw the set of data.
‘Physique, defensive power?’
While they were not as straightforward as the Power and the Agility attributes, it was easy to understand them.
Physique represented an individual’s body quality. When Ou Yangming put on his equipment set, he had an upgrade of 11 points and 4 points of Power and Agility respectively, but it did not mean that he was not lacking anything.
His greatest limitation was his physique.
If Ou Yangming had fought in his armor, his Qi, blood, and power would be exhausted very quickly. Without the countless flesh and blood at the dense forest’s periphery, which allowed him to replenish his Qi and blood at any time, he could not have fought for a long time.
Similarly, Ou Yangming displayed an enormous power in the dense forest by carrying two ferocious beasts’ carca.s.ses. That being said, he felt weary after walking a certain distance and required more blood and flesh as replenishment.
It was all because of the limit from his physique.
Even though Ou Yangming had searched crazily to upgrade his physique, he could not find another way apart from cultivation so far.
This time, he saw hope in the suit.
As for defensive power, there was no need to explain it. Though it seemed like a 10% increment was not much, as a person’s cultivation base improved, and the qualities of the pieces of equipment were upgraded, the 10% would be magnified.
Ou Yangming expressed after putting down the two pieces of equipment slowly, “I understand.”
Zheng Ziwen did not demand more from him. He hesitated before asking, “Master Ou, do you have any comments? If not, I’ll be announcing the result!”
Normally, he would have announced the result right away if a suit was made in a challenge of this level.
Having said that, today’s situation was different. The two blacksmiths had unexpectedly displayed more superior abilities again and again, to the extent that Zheng Ziwen was starting to doubt himself.
Ou Yangming looked at him deeply. “Wait, wait.”
Zheng Ziwen cried to himself, ‘F*ck, it’s really happening again…’
