…
“…”
The Mystic Heaven Ring’s Attributes left Zhou Ming dazed.
Even setting aside its enormous Attribute bonuses, Divine Gift alone was worthy of Sacred grade.
It could convert a special skill attached to equipment into one of his own skills!
Nothing said the equipment had to be something he was wearing. The possibilities were almost limitless!
Of course, the Mystic Heaven Ring’s Attack still could not compare with Ask the Heavens, which might grow stronger at any moment.

(Note: This equipment’s strength changes with its owner’s level.)
…
Ask the Heavens remained exceptionally powerful. It would probably never become obsolete in this lifetime.
Zhou Ming’s only regret was that its two highly anticipated Exclusive Special Skills were still locked.
Seeming to read his thoughts, Qianying reminded him, “Divine weapons possess spirits, to say nothing of Sacred Weapons. Perhaps you can try communicating with it.”
“Communicating?”
Zhou Ming was startled. Then realization dawned. He equipped the Mystic Heaven Ring, held the Ask-the-Heavens Sword horizontally before him, and asked seriously, “Ask the Heavens, what must I do, or what level must I reach, to unlock your Exclusive Special Skills?”
Hum!
The flame-like Ask-the-Heavens Sword trembled slightly.
Zhou Ming immediately received a response.
“Ding!~”
[System Notification: Your exclusive weapon [Ask the Heavens] must reach Level 180 to unlock [Exclusive Special Skill 1] and Level 200 to unlock [Exclusive Special Skill 2]!]
“Ding!~”
[System Notification: Since you have reached Level 150, you may choose to unlock [Exclusive Special Skill 1] early. This unlock requires one Rare SS-Rank item!]
A Rare SS-Rank item!
The word “Rare” meant the item would not be cheap, and Xiaoyou’s ability could not substitute some inferior item in its place.
Zhou Ming opened his inventory and scanned through his various items one by one. His gaze finally settled on the Mount Fusion Stone he had prepared long ago.
He had originally bought this item from Mysterious Merchant · No. 1 to fuse an exceptional mount for himself. After his trip to the Dragon Domain, however, he no longer needed it.
Besides, expecting an SS-Rank item to enhance the Crimsonflame Sacred Dragon was wishful thinking. He might as well consume it!
“Ding!~”
[System Notification: Consume [Mount Fusion Stone] (Rare SS-Rank Item) to unlock [Exclusive Special Skill 1]?]
“Yes!”
Zhou Ming confirmed.
In the next instant, Ask the Heavens’s edge grew even sharper, as though the weapon had undergone an extraordinary tempering.
“Ding!~”
[System Notification: Your weapon [Ask the Heavens] has unlocked the Exclusive Special Skill [Sever the Void]!]
Zhou Ming did not dare delay and hurriedly checked its details.
[Sever the Void] (Passive) (Exclusive SSSS-Rank): All forms of the user’s attacks have a 49% chance to deal double damage, a 30% chance to deal quadruple damage, a 15% chance to deal eightfold damage, a 5% chance to deal sixteenfold damage, and a 1% chance to deal thirty-twofold damage.
…
“Hiss!!”
Zhou Ming involuntarily sucked in a sharp breath, his heart trembling.
This skill was utterly broken!
At first glance, the chances of triggering the higher damage multipliers did not seem impressive. But probability was also affected by Luck.
And when it came to Luck, even without Xiaoyou’s help, Zhou Ming’s personal Luck was far from low.
With that thought, Zhou Ming immediately used the Mystic Heaven Ring’s Divine Gift to forcibly convert Ask the Heavens’s Exclusive Special Skill into one of his own skills, making it appear in his skill list.
Then…
“Ding!~”
[System Notification: Activate a Talent? (Note: Activating a Talent will begin the Talent Trial.)]
“Qianying, I’ll be right back!” Zhou Ming could hardly wait.
Qianying smiled. “Good luck. Become the first person on the Destiny Continent to possess two SSS-Rank Talents!”
“Right!”
After confirming he had overlooked nothing, Zhou Ming accepted.
Equipment and Talents would both become invalid inside the Talent Trial.
But he refused to believe anyone could withstand basic attacks that dealt several times their normal damage at the slightest provocation.
Swoosh!
In the next instant, his figure vanished.
The scene before him rapidly transformed. For the third time, he appeared inside a pure-white space that seemed to stretch without end.
“Here’s hoping I return with a full haul!”
Zhou Ming could barely contain his excitement.
His first Talent was Sovereign’s Descent.
It was an overwhelmingly powerful Talent that had helped him create miracle after miracle.
For a long time, Zhou Ming had chosen to use Skyshatter, which he copied from Ye Zhibei. Ignoring 50% Defense and 20% Damage Reduction was vitally important for someone who frequently fought above his level, making the Talent extremely difficult to replace.
Now, he intended to see exactly what his second Talent would be!
More than ten seconds later, a fierce tiger appeared before Zhou Ming.
[Demonized Tiger] (Normal Monster)
Level: 152
HP: 30,400
Attack: 3,040-3,040
Defense: 1,824-1,824
Skills: [Bite], [Ravenous Tiger Pounce]
Description: Some people feel fear when facing a fierce tiger. Others only need a well-timed slide tackle.
…
“Come on!”
Zhou Ming’s blood surged. He raised the Ask-the-Heavens Sword, which could provide no stats here, and slashed at the Demonized Tiger.
Rumble…
The instant the blade swung, Zhou Ming felt a vast power flow through his arm and into his body. The strength of his attack skyrocketed.
No!
This…
This was…
A basic attack dealing thirty-two times its normal damage!
-1,424,568!
Slash!
The Demonized Tiger was cut in half and dissolved into scattered motes of light.
