Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers finally offered some protection, providing more than 1,000 defense, which was practically unheard of among shoe-type items . It was far better than Ygris’ Guardian Gages and the Orpheus Vambraces . The upgrade to Steal and Shadow Waltz especially blew Nie Yan away . This was his first time seeing two Rank 16 skills .
Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers was a Soul Item, which meant it would grow alongside Nie Yan as he levelled up .
His own development would dictate the future growth of Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers .
If Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers were tradeable, it would surely sell for an astronomical sum in the marketplace . Its properties would drive countless players mad with envy .
Nie Yan estimated Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers was at least equivalent to a Level 150 Legendary item .
He already fulfilled the 1,900 Dexterity and 600 Strength requirements .
His Dexterity was at a frightening 2,300 while his Strength surpassed 1,000 .
Nie Yan put on Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers, then took them for a spin . The boots fit snugly around his feet and provided amazing support . He didn’t feel the slightest bit of weight, almost as if he were wearing nothing .
“Hah! Now this is a Legendary item!” Nie Yan sighed in admiration . He could travel great distances, even by just casually walking around .
Nie Yan checked his defense . It had already breached 10,000 . Even among Warriors, those who had a higher defense than him were few and far between . It was just that Thieves wore leather armour, which offered far less protection than a Warrior’s plate armour . His defense was still nevertheless astonishing . Combined with his Rank 7 defense, attacks from ordinary players couldn’t break his armour .
“Three pieces of Legendary-grade equipment . I don’t think there’s anyone out there better geared than me!” Nie Yan’s eyes shone with excitement .
After getting comfortable with Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers, Nie Yan had Guo Huai send over some gems . He socketed his new equipment . Like this, his stats received another boost .
These days, Asskickers United was expanding at a frightening rate . After gaining a strong foothold in Moonlight City, which was now their second base, they established branches in five more cities . To support this growth, they started recruiting again and expanded their ranks to 150,000 players .
The Starry Night Potion Shop rapidly expanded alongside Asskickers United, opening up branches in every city across the Viridian Empire . Their revenue sharply increased, bringing in more than 300,000 gold a day .
The number of strongholds under the control of World Bloc had also quickly increased, from just a few in the beginning to more than 30 now . Thanks to the real world business districts of these strongholds, World Bloc’s revenue from the virtual reality industry increased several times over . They earned an exorbitant amount of money, which Father Nie would invest in various projects . They had already increased their market share by more than 3,000%! Their influence was also rapidly expanding . Many domestic financial groups started paying attention to them . Some tried to strike up a cooperative relationship . Others viewed them as powerful competitors . The rise of World Bloc was inevitable .
Nie Yan’s goal was to make World Bloc even more powerful than the Century Financial Group .
During the war against Alliance of Mages, the Century Financial Group had made use of their enormous wealth to poach quite a few Asskickers United members . World Bloc’s financial resources simply couldn’t compare to theirs . One day, Nie Yan planned to give them a taste of their own medicine . He would use World Bloc’s capital to compete with the Century Financial Group and see who could hold out until the end!
Asskickers United’s momentum was unstoppable . There was no power in the Viridian Empire capable of posing a threat to them for the time being . God Executioner Sword, Penumbra Empire, and those other guilds were too weak to stir up any waves . Even if Nie Yan wasn’t there, Guo Huai and the others could easily deal with them . No trouble would arise as long as Guo Huai paid close attention to the Monet Financial Group’s movements .
Asskickers United, the War God Tribe, Holy Empire, and the other guilds in the alliance were all on the right track . Even if Nie Yan disappeared for some time, none of their operations would be affected in the slightest . He could leave with his heart at ease .
“If I can become a Luminous Dancer, nothing can stop me in the future!” Nie Yan’s eyes gleamed with determination as he headed for the Temple of Light .
The same as last time, after walking through the hall, Nie Yan found Priest Anisen . He looked no different from before . His kind expression gave people an amiable impression .
“You’re back . Are you ready now?” Anisen asked with a faint smile, almost as if he had met an old friend .
“Priest Anisen, I’m all set to go . I want to enter the Ancient World . I will pursue the tracks left behind by God and receive His divine inheritance!”
“Pious believer, may the light be with you . Follow me . ” Anisen nodded with a gratified smile . He then turned around and headed deeper into the temple .
Anisen led Nie Yan to the magic formation from last time .
“The Ancient World contains the inheritance left behind by God . If you successfully advance to a Luminous Dancer, you’ll obtain incredible power . Of course, that place is also filled with dangers . If you fail, you will forever lose the qualifications to become a Luminous Dancer . I’ll ask once more . Are you fully prepared?” Anisen asked with a solemn look on his face .
“I am!” Nie Yan nodded .
Anisen chanted an incantation and waved his staff . A giant beam of light shone down on the magic formation, causing a white portal to emerge .
“Go forth . The portal will lead you to the Ancient World . ”
Nie Yan took a deep breath, then stepped into the portal . The light consumed his body as it left this world . After which the portal gradually faded before disappearing without a trace .
