Xie Feng went out of the appraisal store with a big smile on his face. If it weren't for the striped tiger mask covering all his face, many people would probably be surprised at how good his mood was currently.

But how could he not be? Xie Feng had just identified not only a pair of Immortal-grade boots; he had also identified five gold-grade and four silver-grade objects.

​​

Currently, Xie Feng's movement speed had increased by thirteen points thanks to the Frost Walker boots; this was after subtracting the seven points that the previous boots granted him. In total, his movement speed was 142 points; this meant that if another player with a normal movement speed took 10 seconds to travel 100 meters, Xie Feng could close that distance with approximately three seconds of advantage. Three seconds was simply a huge difference, a difference that could decide who lived and who died!

Xie Feng's defense had also broken 1000 points after equipping the Immortal grade boots. This meant that unless a player could inflict more than 1000 points of physical damage, his defense could not be broken except by armor penetration effect attacks! But how many players could actually deal damage higher than 1000 points at this stage of the game? Undoubtedly not many!

The second thing that made Xie Feng the happiest was his HP... Currently, his health bar had finally gone beyond ten thousand points. Although this wasn't much against high-ranked bosses, it was a huge improvement compared to his previous nearly seven thousand health points.

As for the first thing Xie Feng was so happy about...

[Title: Water God -

Description: A feat impossible for a human to achieve, reaching the peak of elemental resistance.

Bonus: +10% Water Resistence

(Supplementary Skill):

Formless Body: Transforms your body into pure water, ignoring physical attacks. Effect: For two seconds, ignore all physical attacks. You can continue attacking in this form. Does not consume MP and has a cooldown time of 2 hours].

Another title with the word God in it!

After equipping the Frost Walker boots, Xie Feng's water resistance finally broke beyond 100%, granting him immunity against water-type magic attacks! In just a month and a half, Xie Feng had acquired absolute immunity against two elements! Although he knew that this was only possible thanks to the 20% water resistance that Frost Walker gave him as a bonus and that this effect would disappear as well as the title when he switched to better boots (in case he obtained any), this didn't diminish Xie Feng's joy in the slightest... The Formless Body skill was simply too powerful! During those two seconds of Formless Body's duration, all physical attacks were as good as crap against him!

As if that wasn't enough with all of the above, Frost Walker also granted Xie Feng a 20% damage increase on all of his water-type attacks and gave him a skill that allowed him to move on water or any liquid surface freely for two hours! Xie Feng could already imagine himself running on water like a ninja.

The Frost Walker boots was an item worthy of the Immortal grade, in no way inferior to his Two Faces Mask.

As for the rest of the equipment he identified... The Silver grade items were respectively: a spear, superior armor, two swords. None of these were of any use to the current Xie Feng. But some Gold grade items were another matter.

[Jade Ice Bracelet: Gold Grade Equipment -

Description: An exquisite bracelet of deep blue color and soft to the touch. Protects the skin against the heat of the sun.

Requirement: Level 26

Attributes: Water Resistance +10% / Intelligence +30 / Vitality +30 / Agility +15]

Although it was a pity that with his current level 25 Xie Feng couldn't equip the bracelet, it would definitely be for him and he wouldn't give it to anyone else. After all, even now he didn't have a bracelet. Even after killing so many monsters, Xie Feng was never lucky enough to obtain this kind of accessory; this showed how difficult they were to obtain.

The next Gold grade item Xie Feng saved for when he reached level 26 was a lower body armor.

[Frozen Bone Pants: Gold Grade Equipment -

Description: Keeps the lower body always in optimal condition, ignoring high temperatures to a certain extent.

Requirement: Level 26

Attributes: Fire Resistance +15% / HP +300 / Defense +60 / Agility +20

(Unique Skill):

Heat Negation: An aura-like skill that invokes the power of ice to ward off heat. Effect: For ten seconds, you gain an extra 15% fire resistance. It has a cooldown of 60 minutes].

As for the other Gold grade items. Two of them were mage robes; both of them would be kept for Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue temporarily... The other item was, unluckily, a pair of boots.

Xie Feng had also identified the items he obtained from the Hell Guardian and, although he was currently level 25 and could equip them, only one of these items was of real use to him as the other two were a Gold grade sword and a Silver grade armor.

[Rigid Leg Protector: Gold Grade Equipment

[Description: A pair of hard and tough leg protectors.

[Requirements: Level 25

[Attributes: Defense +200]

(A/N: In case of doubt, you can confirm the above equipment in chapter 42-43)

Although it was just a stat, the defense provided was really high considering that even the armor Xie Feng currently wore gave him 80 points of defense (although the armor was more HP focused). Xie Feng equipped the protectors as well.

* * *

After identifying the items he had in his inventory and equipping the ones he could equip, Xie Feng walked slowly through the streets of Eminentis City, mingling with the vast crowd of players and NPCs walking around.

Before he knew it, Xie Feng's footsteps had stopped outside of a majestic palace; of course, this was the palace of the King of the North, one of the four kings of the Adastreia Continent, and one of the five most powerful humans.

The four kings of the north, east, west, and south were all Heaven-ranked existences and, surprisingly, the emperor of these lands was not at all useless; he was a mighty God-ranked warrior! One of the few humans to reach and go beyond the Heaven rank!

At least that was what the rumors and stories said... Xie Feng had never seen the emperor so he had no idea if it was so or not.

After pausing for a moment, Xie Feng finally walked towards the palace. The guards who saw him stopped him for a moment and after identifying his name as Shiva, the player who had helped King Hu Yi several times and had even saved the prince's life two times, the guards let him pass. One of them hurried inside to inform the king of his arrival.

Xie Feng's small vanity was somewhat satisfied at this sight. How many players could receive such treatment? At the very least, Xie Feng did not believe that another player could make a level 50 soldier run this fast just because of his arrival.

Xie Feng was led by a maid to a spacious living room. There, he saw the almighty king of Eminentis City spending time with his son. Apparently, what happened before had been really hard for the king of the city.

"Ha ha ha ha! Shiva! I heard you defeated another Immortal beast!" King Hu Yi laughed out loud when he saw Xie Feng arrive. He even stood up to show goodwill and invited Xie Feng to sit opposite him.

Xie Feng thanked him and took a seat, taking off his mask as a sign of respect. After King Hu Yi sat down, he said modestly, "Oh, it's nothing. I was just lucky, to be honest."

"You don't need to be modest!" King Hu Yi shook his head and said plainly, "Even if you were lucky, so what? Luck is also part of one's strength! If your luck is greater and you beat, that means your destiny is more powerful to that of your enemy!"

Xie Feng smiled but said nothing. In fact, what the king said was the same as what Xie Feng thought; he didn't care about the methods, the one who continued to live was the ultimate winner.

Little Prince Hu Zheng seemed very enthusiastic about Xie Feng as well. Apparently, the boy was really grateful to Xie Feng, who had saved him from the grim reaper on more than one occasion.

After chatting for about half an hour and easing the atmosphere, Xie Feng finally expressed his purpose of visit.

"King Hu Yi, may I ask a few questions?"

King Hu Yi was not surprised. He nodded quietly and said casually, " Ask. If it is something I can answer, I will answer honestly."

Xie Feng licked his lips and asked, "I was wondering if you ever heard of a person called 'Number Ten'?"

What Xie Feng did not expect was that King Hu Yi's reaction would be so great after hearing him utter those words.

"Where did you hear about that name?" King Hu Yi asked in a deep voice.

Xie Feng's eyes flashed strangely as he said in a neutral voice, "Recently, my friends and I arrived at a very cold map by coincidence, and there we met this person. Although I didn't see his face, we made a trade. I bought some items necessary for survival from him, and although the price was high, the items were worth it. The reason why I asked about this person is because he had a lot of valuable things, which I found a little strange that he is not known."
