Chapter 712: [Thousand Forms Martial Core] and [Flawless Embryo] (2)
A simple introduction, with extreme values.
Generally, legendary equipment only provides a fixed value boost to the user.
However, [Matteus's Magic Ring] can directly provide a fixed proportion boost based on Lis's attributes.
That is to say, as Lis's strength increases, the attribute enhancements from [Matteus's Magic Ring] will also become more frightening.
For example, right now, just the Intelligence Attribute can enhance Lis by over six thousand points, the increase is quite significant.
Equipment Effect 2 [Thousand Forms Martial Core] is the most important reason why Lis went through so much trouble to obtain this magic ring.
Although Lis didn't know the specific effects of [Matteus's Magic Ring] before, from observing the dwarf clan's strong ones using this ring in battle, it seems this ring can morph into different weapon forms.
For Lis, this is the most fitting equipment effect.
Bear in mind, with Lis's [All-Purpose] talent, he can use the professional skills of various professions and simulate the combat styles of other professions to fight.
This makes Lis's actual combat abilities far surpass those of the same-level extraordinary professionals, and there are no weaknesses to exploit.
Moreover, Lis's exclusive specialty [All Techniques Return to Storage - Lis] allows him to increase his damage output every time he changes weapons.
This is one of Lis's advantages when switching weapons in combat.
However, while mastering other professional skills, Lis also needs to prepare weapons for different professions.
Even though Lis currently has no problem preparing legendary equipment for each profession, he may still be targeted.
For low-level professionals, it's fine; the time taken to switch equipment from a storage ring doesn't affect much.
But for Lis, who is already at the Legendary Rank, even a slight waste of time during same-level battles could be targeted by enemies.
Thus, Lis tries to avoid this in battle.
Furthermore, Lis's rapid growth means his enemies are unclear about his combat style and naturally can't effectively counter him.
However, it's different now.
At least for the Divine Son Luun of the God of Hunting, they are very aware that Lis can use the skills of other professions.
If he doesn't change, the opponent might find a loophole.
Moreover, the opponent is stronger than Lis is currently.
Lis has two solutions for this.
The first method is to develop special arcane techniques targetedly, enabling Lis to switch weapons and equipment more quickly, minimizing the time wasted, and avoiding being caught by the enemy.
The second method is to find a weapon that can change forms and directly change its status during battle.
Both methods are feasible.
However, relatively speaking, the first method doesn't fundamentally eliminate the existing flaw in battle; Lis needs to adjust constantly.
The second method is more straightforward, directly eliminating the concern.
Among the powerful equipment Lis knows about, a few have similar effects.
[Matteus's Magic Ring] is the most powerful among them and the one Lis is most likely to acquire.
The Equipment Effect 2 [Thousand Forms Martial Core] of [Matteus's Magic Ring] allows the magic ring to morph into different weapon forms for combat.
For Lis, this is the most practical effect.
According to the introduction of this effect, the equipment forms the magic ring can morph into are not simple and should have different special effects, far stronger than ordinary legendary equipment.
What could be more suitable for Lis than this?
Currently, Equipment Effect 2 [Thousand Forms Martial Core] already has quite a few weapon forms.
The Sin Punishing Giant Sword, Sun Eroding Longbow, Sky-breaking Battle Hammer, and other weapons seem not simple at all.
If it weren't for Lis's current conditions being unfit, he would have tried them out on the spot.
Initially, Lis was worried that the weapon forms [Matteus's Magic Ring] could change into were limited, and he needed to prepare more.
But Equipment Effect 3 [Devouring Forging] perfectly addressed Lis's concern.
The magic ring can even increase the weapon forms Equipment Effect 2 [Thousand Forms Martial Core] can morph into by devouring weapon equipment.
This is almost too powerful.
It's simply the most considerate tailored ability, allowing Lis to increase the weapon forms of the magic ring according to his needs.
In comparison, Equipment Effect 4 [Sacrificial Enhancement] can increase the attributes buffed by the magic ring through sacrificing equipment.
I wonder how much the increase is.
But it seems only by devouring those precious weapon equipment can it be effective for the current Lis.
Equipment Effect 5 [Weapon Master] is more straightforward and direct.
It can increase Lis's proficiency levels in using weapons.
This works in conjunction with Lis's Warrior Professional Specialization [All Martial Arts Mastery].
[All Martial Arts Mastery] can set all Lis's initial weapon proficiency levels to Intermediate.
That means even if Lis doesn't specially practice, only with the effects of [All Martial Arts Mastery] and [Weapon Master], his initial weapon proficiency levels are already Advanced.
With enough time invested, advancing to Legendary is not impossible.
In fact, Lis's Magic Wand proficiency, with the buff from [All Martial Arts Mastery], isn't far from the next stage.
Equipment Effect 6 [Blazing Soul Forging] seems to be due to the Blazing Soul Power absorbed by the magic ring over thousands of years in the Heart of Molten Fire.
So, that blazing golden magma's contained power is Blazing Soul Power?
It can directly repair equipment and grant the [Blazing Soul Blessing], which seems indeed somewhat special.
However, Equipment Effect 7 [Flawless Embryo]'s effect surprises Lis even more.
Could it mean this magic ring can withstand higher level power?
Above legendary equipment, aren't those Holy Artifacts, Half-God Artifacts, and Divine Artifacts?
No wonder Matteus regarded this magic ring as such an important creation.
No wonder Matteus left this ring in the [Heart of Molten Fire], while he attempted the Path to Divinity, planning to come back for the ring.
Besides continuing to refine this ring, it's likely Matteus intended to make this ring his first Divine Artifact after becoming a god?
One must admit, this Matteus is quite ambitious.
It's just a pity; even as a Divine Son, he ultimately did not succeed in ascension, and in the end, his entire soul was incinerated by Divine Fire, with no chance of salvation.
Now, however, this has turned into Lis's advantage.
With such potential in the ring, even after ascension, Lis won't need to worry about the weapons he needs.
Yet, reading the ring's introduction afterward, using the [Devouring Forging] and [Sacrificial Enhancement] effects of the ring freely might also affect the ring's growth.
This needs careful consideration in the future.
Lis keeps this situation in mind.
The good news is that [Blazing Soul Forging] can mitigate negative effects, which reduces Lis's concerns significantly.
Even so, Lis makes a mental note.
When using this ring in the future, he should at least use legendary equipment.
For Lis right now, he can bear the cost of some legendary equipment.
It's decided!
This ring is his most important equipment after [Sphinx's Wisdom]!
Lis touched the silver ring once more and took out a special black liquid, letting it drip onto the magic ring.
The black liquid seemed alive, quickly spreading over the entire ring.
As the entire ring turned pitch black, the powerful aura it emitted was completely concealed.
After completing this task, Lis carefully stored it in the storage ring.
He certainly didn't want this ring appearing in front of Puer, who knows if he might figure out something.
Lis breathed a sigh of relief.
Currently, he didn't feel the sense of being watched as when he first entered the [Heart of Molten Fire].
Which means Puer likely hasn't noticed what happened here.
This is the best news.
Since that's the case, the opportunity is rare.
Time to explore here a bit.
Lis looked below, towards the source of the peculiar vibration.
