“Fire in the hole!”

There seemed to be a scene that was very similar to this scene. Yan Chong immediately turned around and laid down. He covered his ears with his hands and opened his mouth slightly.

Boom! A deafening sound was heard. Although he had blocked his ears, the sound waves still hurt his eardrums.

Creak… Creak…

To Yan Chong’s horror, the wooden floor of the hotel corridor began to shake, and cracks appeared. An earthquake was coming.

Bang! This was the sound of a broken window. A hot wind blew across the air behind him. Yan Chong fought the discomfort and remained motionless. He knew that if he got up now and ran, the powerful shock wave would probably break his bones.

The panicked shouts of the travelers could be heard from the nearby rooms. A few doors opened and a few men and women with disheveled clothes rushed out. However, just as they stepped out of the door, they were sent flying by the shockwave produced by the explosion.

Just by seeing the flying figures from the corner of his eye, Yan Chong could already imagine the sounds of bones breaking.

After about ten seconds, the shaking stopped and everything returned to normal.

Yan Chong felt th pain all over, as if he had just finished a ten-kilometer, twenty-kilo weight-bearing cross-country run. Then he had to frog-jump for another mile, did two hundred push-ups, fifty pull-ups, ten sets of burpees, finally a ten sets of horizontal bar, and a five-kilometer swim as a shower. It was as if his body had been hollowed out.

He struggled to support his body with his arms and stood up. He turned around and looked out of the window.

A huge pit about thirty to forty meters in diameter appeared in front of him. The ground was charred black, and there were pieces of rubble. Sparks were burning, and it was impossible to tell what it looked like.

In the air, three women flew over. One of them was wearing a blue and white dress. It was the woman from the jewelry store just now. The other two were slightly behind her. They were both wearing green rough clothes and pants. They looked delicate and pretty, but compared to the woman in the lead, the difference in their looks and temperament was like a firefly in the bright moon.

“Flying, they’re flying?!” Yan Chong looked at them with his mouth slightly agape and his eyes wide open.

Humans have had a strong desire to fly since ancient times. The invention of airplanes was just a starting point. There were all kinds of extreme sports, such as parachuting, bungee jumping, and even wing flight. Countless people flocked to it like ducks to die.

Although Yan Chong had once thought that flying in such an extraordinary world should be possible, when he saw this scene, shock, envy, and desire could not help but grow in his heart.

“Sigh, I didn’t control my strength well again!” The woman in a blue and white dress slowly descended from the sky as she stuck out her tongue in a cute manner before instructing the other two women. “Find that thing.”

“Yes, Missy!” The two women replied immediately and began searching the ruins.

After a while, a tall woman suddenly shouted, “Missy, Missy, I’ve found it!”

“Oh? Give it to me quickly!” ‘Missy’ also stopped searching and raised her body as she said in surprise.

The tall woman was holding a brown wooden box that was about the size of a palm. It was unknown what material the box was made of, but it was not damaged despite the intense explosion just now. There were only some black marks on its surface.

Yan Chong stared at the box in the woman’s hand and activated [Reading].

A rich blue light lit up:

Name: Jewelry Box

Quality: Extraordinary +7

Function: Attribute: Spirit +5, Charm +2

Skill: Ordinary. Items that are placed in the box can eliminate its presence and prevent others from sensing and detecting it.

Description: Made from Spiritual Fragrance Wood.

As the box opened, a golden ring appeared in front of him. Mysterious silver runes were engraved on the ring. It was unknown if it was an illusion, but the silver runes seemed to flow on the surface of the ring like a living creature.

Name: Holy Ring (Sub Ring)

Quality: Epic +1

Function: All attributes 200% (Other than Willpower).

Skill 1: Spatial Ring, 100x100x100 cubic meters, can accommodate living things.

Skill 2: Revive. Apart from the wearer, you can revive the target within one hour of death. (Requirement: Complete corpse, strength below Legendary rank. Cooldown: 1 year).

Skill 3: Heal. Heal the target’s injuries, remove negative status. (Requirement: Legendary rank and below strength. Cooldown: 1 day).

Skill 4: Dominate. Plant a spiritual seed into the target’s spiritual sea and dominate the target. (Requirement: Target’s Willpower is below 75 points. Cooldown: One month).

Description: Made of gold, infused with the divine power of the [Holy Ring]. Once the wearer wears it, if the user’s Willpower attribute is less than 100 points, he will not be able to remove the ring and will become a slave of the Holy Ring, controlled by the wearer of the Holy Ring. After the wearer dies, the soul will become the nourishment of the ring.

An Epic item! When Yan Chong saw the words “Holy Ring”, the Inheritance Knowledge transmitted related knowledge.

[Holy Ring] was a very famous legendary item in the Endless Mainland. Unlike the Cards of Origin, no one seemed to know what its original form was like, what abilities it had, and who its creator was. It was also rarely recorded in the literature. However, the wearer of the Holy Ring could make all kinds of Sub Rings with it.

The material of the Sub Ring could be ordinary gold, silver, even wood, stone, and so on. Once it was injected with divine power by the Holy Ring, it would be transformed into a Sub Ring. It would become an Epic-ranked item that was indestructible.

‘Missy’ stared fixedly at the ring as a look of desire appeared on her face. The tall woman holding the wooden box began to tremble as a look of greed appeared in her eyes. But the strange thing was that when Yan Chong saw this ring, his mood didn’t change at all. He didn’t feel any desire to obtain it.

“Your Highness Sophia.” The tall woman had just finished speaking when she was fiercely glared at by ‘Missy’. She quickly corrected herself. “I-I’m sorry, Missy. I was too excited. Please put it on quickly. I feel a strong desire rising from my heart. It’s indeed a Holy Ring. It’s too tempting for people!”

“Yeah.” Sophia nodded and removed the ring from the jewelry box, slowly putting it on her left index finger. Suddenly, Sophia’s expression changed, twisting before returning to normal.

Although it was only for a short moment, Yan Chong saw it clearly. Yan Chong had a feeling that something bad had happened. Although he did not know what it was, a chill ran down his spine.

It was certain that even if these women understood the origins and general functions of this ring, it was definitely not as detailed as the Inheritance Knowledge Bloodline described. It seemed to have an unlimited attractive force, but it was definitely not something good. One’s Willpower needed to reach 100 points before it could be removed. Otherwise, one would not be able to take off the ring until they died. Even their soul would become nourishment for the ring.

Also, the ability to control others was evil no matter how one looked at it.

Currently, the highest status of the professionals that Yan Chong had observed with his [Reading] ability was only Sophia with 30 points. Her battle power was only at Grade A. Only Legendary rank or even Gods could achieve 100 points of a hidden attribute like Willpower.

He then looked at Missy’s message:

Name: Sophia Maka

Race: Golden Race Human

Occupation: Sword Saint

Battle Power: S+

Strength: 69.9, Agility: 98.4, Intelligence: 23.1

Constitution: 64.5, Spirit: 17.4, Charm: 33.6

Status: Healthy

Her status had increased by 200%, which was three times of what they were before. However, this was only a value. Her actual battle power had increased by more than ten times, and she had reached the Legendary rank. Furthermore, she was not just an early-stage Legendary!

It was just a small ring, but it could cause a tremendous change. It was indeed an Epic item. Furthermore, Yan Chong had also noticed the difference between Epic-ranked items. The [Excellent] and [Extraordinary] items he had seen previously had a fixed status point increase, but this ring increased it by 200%. This meant that the stronger one was, the more status points would be added.

Suddenly, a cold voice broke Yan Chong’s train of thought.

“Have you seen enough? How long are you going to hide?”
