▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Compared to before equipping the Thunder Set, Lin Mo's attack stat had almost doubled.
And this was because Lin Mo had already been wearing the tier-5 gold ring [Shadow · Power of Dominion], which mainly boosted attack power, so the increase in attack was actually not even the highest improvement.
As for the other core stats, the increase in defense and HP had almost reached double.
And besides the huge increase in base attributes, Lin Mo also gained eight powerful equipment effects.
[Phantom World · Thunder Fury]: +25% physical damage!
[Phantom World · Thunder Saint Ring]: +25% armor penetration!
[Phantom World · Thunder Emperor Armor]: +20% armor penetration resistance (resists physical armor penetration)!
[Phantom World · Thunder Belt]: +20% penetration resistance (resists magic penetration)!
[Phantom World · Thunder Crown]: +20% magic damage reduction!
[Phantom World · Thunder Legguards]: +20% physical damage reduction!
[Phantom World · Thunder Crystal Chain]: -20% skill consumption!
[Phantom World · Thunder Battle Boots]: +30% movement speed!
And one set skill whose strength was practically ridiculous.

During this period, the wearer gains +30% attack power, +15% defense, and +10% max HP; all equipment effect bonuses are doubled; every enemy killed summons a Thunder Arrow that deals 250% physical damage to a random single enemy within attack range (enemies killed by Thunder Arrows do not trigger this effect)
Skill Consumption: Automatically consumes 100 mana per second while active

Combined with the set skill, these equipment effects were completely overpowered.
And after equipping the [Peerless · Bloodbath Set], Strong-Maned Pig's attribute strength was just as explosive.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Seeing Strong-Maned Pig's defense exceed 20,000 and his HP break past seven digits, Lin Mo could not help sucking in a breath.
Tier-5 full gold equipment working together with the terrifying stat growth of Ancient Immortal quality, plus the huge bonuses from two SSS-grade passive skills giving 100% HP and 50% defense,.Strong-Maned Pig's durability at this moment was practically like a certain canyon's Zhu Bajie wearing eighteen tank items in eighteen equipment slots after reaching level 25 through Jiang Ziya's god ascension.
Even the Storm Dragon King would kneel before him.
Likewise, besides the huge overall increase in base attributes, Strong-Maned Pig also gained eight powerful equipment effects.

[Peerless · Bloodbath Saint Ring]: +20% armor penetration!

And one set skill whose strength was practically ridiculous.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
At this moment, Lin Mo felt every drop of blood in his body boiling.
And it was also at this moment—
Crash! Crash! Crash!
Outside the hall, the petrification on the Death Guards and the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon began disappearing.
They regained movement again.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Under the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon's command, countless Death Guards charged at Lin Mo with greatswords in hand.
At the same time, after finishing with the equipment, Lin Mo raised his head and looked at the Death Guards ahead. A cold light flashed through his eyes.

[Inferno City]
[At the Resurrection Spring]
Whoosh!
White light fell.
Ling Xue appeared in the spring.
[Ding~ You have revived and received death penalty: Level -1!]
Seeing that Ling Xue had ended up dying too, He Xiao, Zhao Jun, and Lin Miaomiao, who had already been waiting at the spring for quite a while, all looked shocked.
"What happened? Xiaoxue, why did you die too?"
"Did you still fail? You and Vice Guild Leader Lin Mo couldn't kill the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon?"
"It should work," Ling Xue said, "Lin Mo has already changed equipment. With his current strength, taking down the Boss shouldn't be a problem."
Hearing this, He Xiao and Zhao Jun could not help letting out sighs of relief.
Girls were more observant after all.
Lin Miaomiao noticed the tear marks at the corner of Ling Xue's eyes and seemed to realize something.
She pulled Ling Xue aside and quietly asked, "Sister Ling, what happened between you and Lin Mo inside the secret realm just now? Did Lin Mo bully you?"
"No," Ling Xue avoided her gaze.
That only made Lin Miaomiao more certain of her guess, "I've known you for so long, but I've never seen you shed even one tear for any man."
"And you treated him so sincerely and did so much for him, but he still hurt you like this."
"He probably doesn't even know how much money, manpower, and effort you spent to forge those two equipment sets for him, right? And this whole secret realm run was all for him too."
Lin Miaomiao said angrily, "I'm going to talk to him right now!"
Ling Xue quickly stopped Lin Miaomiao.
"This is my own problem. It has nothing to do with Lin Mo!"
"Also, how's the progress on the skill scrolls? If you've gathered them all, send them all to Lin Mo together."
"With these scrolls, Lin Mo's chances of upgrading his SSS-grade ultimate skills and defeating the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon will be even higher. The success rate of getting the SS-grade Dragon Clan treasure will also increase."
"We did gather them all," Lin Miaomiao pouted, clearly unhappy, "But Sister Ling, even after all this, you're still thinking only about this man?"
Ling Xue said, "Stop talking and do as I said!"
"Okaaay~"
———
[Dragon Hall Secret Realm]
Looking at the Death Guard army sweeping in from outside the hall, Lin Mo activated the Phantom World · Thunder Set skill, Thunderous Force!
[T/N: Let me be honest, from my point of view, Ling Xue is not a villain. She is determined, straight-forward and hard-working. Forcing her to be a villain just seems like bad plot to me, unless the writer later turns MC's ideology around and makes him realise that this is not his past life. There are many selfish people around the world, but that doesn't give MC the liberty to kill them at his will. MC is just being holier-than-thou hypocritical saint.]
