Since Fang Li intended to purchase equipment, he naturally headed straight to the auction house.
While the Trading Area had stalls selling equipment, the quality was far inferior to the auction house. Most Main Divine Envoys wouldn't willingly put high-quality items up for sale at a stall. Therefore, in the auction house, all the equipment was of the top grade within the same rank.
In fact, when Fang Li was still at the Fifth Rank, he had been using the same set of equipment up until now.
Compared to Fifth Rank equipment, Fourth Rank equipment came with a much higher price tag. All the equipment Fang Li saw was priced in the thousands of Exchange Points, making them top-grade.
Luckily, Fang Li now possessed 180,000 Exchange Points, which meant he could spend without hesitation.
In a short amount of time, Fang Li was able to gather the rest of his equipment.
…
Light Breath
Category: Upper Garment
Rank: Fourth Rank
Effect: Reduces damage by 50%, and partially increases endurance.
…
…
Explorer's Desire
Category: Lower Garment
Rank: Fourth Rank
Effect: Resistance increased, resistance to negative effects improved by 50%, and lower-level negative effects were directly negated.
…
…
Heavy Silver Hand
Category: Gloves
Rank: Fourth Rank
Effect: Increases attack speed by 20%, enhances weight to deal double damage when attacking.
…
Due to his possession of Bo Xie, Fang Li didn't need to purchase a new weapon. Even with Prana consumption issues, in unimportant battles, Fang Li could still use the Moonlight Dagger. So, there was no need for a new weapon.
With the shoes acquired, Fang Li completed his collection with the upper garment, lower garment, and gloves.
It had to be said that all these equipment pieces were quite powerful.
Light Breath reduced half the damage, significantly boosting Fang Li's defensive power. Coupled with Prana, it could definitely provide defense surpassing steel.
Explorer's Desire increased resistance to negative effects. Whether facing super-abilities like the one Sherlock had used, which could evaporate bodily fluids, or suffering from conditions like poisoning, weakness, or erosion, Fang Li could now resist them to a certain extent.
Heavy Silver Hand, on the other hand, not only increased attack speed but also allowed Fang Li to deal double damage. It was incredibly valuable.
These three pieces of equipment cost Fang Li a whopping 60,000 Exchange Points, equivalent to 20,000 Exchange Points per equipment piece, which was shockingly expensive.
However, being top-grade within the same rank, these equipment pieces were likely to accompany Fang Li until he reached the peak of Fourth Rank. With this level of quality, the price was justified.
This way, Fang Li had acquired a complete set of equipment, including his weapon, upper garment, lower garment, gloves, and shoes. All that remained were two accessories.
To be honest, Fang Li didn't really want to replace the two accessories. After all, not only did they enhance all his attributes, but one of them also provided a personal space, which had proven quite useful for Fang Li.
However, the appearance of the Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child) made Fang Li change his mind.
Honestly, this accessory didn't offer Fang Li any real help. Although wearing it could provide some interference with time-related abilities, other than countering such abilities, the Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child) had no other benefit for Fang Li.
However, in the auction house, Fang Li came across another accessory.
…
Ionic Spark
Category: Accessory
Rank: Fourth Rank
Effect: Lock onto two targets, allowing the unilateral conversion of power between these two targets. The locked targets must be under the control of the wearer and can't be changed once locked.
…
It was this accessory that made Fang Li reconsider his decision not to replace his accessories.
The Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child) could restore the user's Power of Existence at midnight, but this type of power was entirely useless for Fang Li. However, if it could be converted into Prana, that would make all the difference.
With Ionic Spark, Fang Li could lock Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child)'s Power of Existence and his own Prana, then convert Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child)'s Power of Existence into Prana. This way, Fang Li would be able to fully restore his Prana every midnight, and the recovery would increase as his Prana pool grew.
In the future, as Fang Li continued to improve his INT (Mystery) and increase his own Prana, the combination of Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child) and Ionic Spark would provide an even more astonishing recovery, making it worth sacrificing 7 points in all attributes and the personal space.
With this in mind, Fang Li spent 12,000 Exchange Points to win this accessory in the auction.
Afterward, Fang Li also purchased a few more items, spending 54,000 Exchange Points. As a result, Fang Li's assets dwindled considerably, leaving him with only 54,000 Exchange Points.
"Remaining Exchange Points might be needed for the expenses of entering the Personal World in the future, so let's save them," Fang Li decided.
However, his words were soon followed by another expense – the training grounds.
And not just any training ground, but a Fourth Rank training ground.
"You have chosen a Fourth Rank training ground. Do you wish to proceed?"
"Yes."
"The cost for renting a Fourth Rank training ground is 1,000 Exchange Points per day, 3,000 Exchange Points for three days, and 10,000 Exchange Points for ten days. Please select the rental plan."
"One day, please."
"Rental successful, 1,000 Exchange Points expended. You now have the right to use this training ground for one day."
As a result, Fang Li's Exchange Points balance was left with exactly 62,000 Exchange Points.
He immediately pushed open the door, which changed from gray to red and entered the training ground.
Compared to the Fifth Rank training grounds, the Fourth Rank training ground hadn't changed much. It was still a closed space. However, here, it was possible to simulate opponents of the Fourth Rank, allowing Fang Li to undergo Fourth Rank-level training.
Fang Li opened the space window and began the operation.
"Shoo—!"
The surroundings immediately blurred and transformed into a dim alleyway. At the end of the alley, a young man with a knife, dressed in a uniform, and a wicked grin on his face, walked towards him, exuding an indescribable murderous aura.
Apart from Nanaya Shiki, who else could it be?
As Fang Li gazed at this opponent, a confident smile crept onto his lips.
"Let's use you to test my progress!"
