Xie Feng gasped a breath of fresh air when he clearly saw the new Calamity Spear after awakening its water elemental power thanks to the stimulation from the Pearl of Frozen Water. He even had to look twice continuously to make sure he was not hallucinating.

Powerful!

​​

Incredibly powerful!

The acquisition of a pearl had actually boosted the power of the Calamity Spear to entirely new heights! The difference between the previous Calamity Spear and the current Calamity Spear was as great as comparing a small plain to Mount Everest!

Previously, due to Xie Feng's own weakness, the Calamity Spear took away a small portion of the experience he gained after defeating Immortal, Heaven, God, or Saint rank monsters. However, although the spear currently continued to take away part of that experience, there was a small change that Xie Feng did not go through; now, the Calamity Spear would no longer take away experience every time he defeated an Immortal-grade creature! This was a very big difference!

For example, if his spear hadn't taken away some of the experience he gained from defeating the Fatal Poisonous Commodus Dragon and the Thousand Ice Cocatrix, then Xie Feng's level would easily be 26 or 27 nowadays thanks to the experience accumulated from defeating both Immortal beasts!

However, one of the changes that delighted Xie Feng the most was, of course, the strong boost that the overall attributes of the Calamity Spear got.

The spear's previous physical attack power was 450, but in one leap that damage turned into 750! This was a net jump of 300 fixed points! The thing was, this 300 points was much more than it actually seemed, after all, Xie Feng had many skills at his disposal that increased his damage by percentage.

In addition, the STR, VIT, INT, and AGI stats received a boost of 20 points per stat. That was a total of 80 stat points! It should be remembered that a normal player, with a normal profession, only received 5 stat points per level if the small extra boost they received depending on their chosen class was ignored.

Xie Feng's HP directly broke the eleven thousand point bar, his base physical damage power was almost fifteen hundred points and his physical defense was about to break the 1300 point bar. Thirteen hundred points of physical defense! This meant that, unless his enemy could deal thirteen hundred points of physical damage or more, the damage would be directly ignored completely!

How many players could actually deal thirteen hundred points of damage or more? Xie Feng was sure that among the hundreds of millions of players on the Chinese server, only a handful of them would have a decent chance of breaking through his defenses. This was simply terrifying...

Of course, what surprised and delighted Xie Feng the most was the new skill that the Calamity Spear unlocked after awakening the dormant water-like power that was sleeping inside it.

Frozen End Overlord's Armor... What a domineering and terrifying name.

But the skill was worthy of the name! Not for nothing did the skill description say that even the gods feared such a skill!

The skill did not increase his damage in any way, nor did it increase his physical defense or health points... The skill simply had two simple but terrifying effects.

1) Xie Feng's elemental resistances would receive a huge boost once he activated the skill Frozen End Overlord's Armor.

Not only would he become completely immune to fire-type damage, but he would also heal accordingly since he currently had over 20% resistance against such element. The same was true against wind and water type attacks.

2) All damage received, no matter if it was physical damage or magic damage, would be automatically transformed into water damage... This second feature in combination with the first feature of the Frozen End Overlord's Armor skill was the most horrifying union Xie Feng had ever seen in his entire life. It was even more terrifying than the combination of Consecutive Light Strikes with Black Smile.

Xie Feng's Water Resistance was currently 114. The skill Frozen End Overlord's Armor increased his Water Resistance by 500%. This meant that his Water Resistance after activating the skill would reach a staggering 684 points! In other words, water-type attacks would heal him an amount multiplied by almost six times the damage he would take!

However, since his Water Resistance exceeded 100% before activating the skill, all of his heals were multiplied by 10 times... This meant that water-type attacks would heal him more than fifty times the normal damage received!

As if that wasn't enough, during the sixty second duration of the Frozen End Overlord's Armor skill, ALL damage Xie Feng received would be automatically turned into water damage! Even the -50 Lightning Resistance was completely ignored by Xie Feng!

"HAHAHAHA! I, your father, am invincible!" Xie Feng couldn't help but start to laugh like crazy after analyzing the skill in careful detail.

Indeed, for sixty seconds, he was indeed invincible!

Although his HP was still pitifully low and a magic spell from a high-ranked beast could kill him in one swing, for sixty seconds he could fight and had a chance to win!

However, what Xie Feng did not know, was that several years in the future, when he set out on the path he was destined to walk, it was precisely the skill Frozen End Overlord's Armor that would give him the chance to save the life of one of his loved ones... Because the resistances that this skill gave him for only a brief minute, was the only hope he had.

But this is a story for another occasion.

...

...

Incomparably cheerful, Xie Feng rode Ferghana's horse and began to ride at full speed towards his destination while embracing the beautiful Ling Long in her human form and slowly guiding her so that she could learn to speak normally as soon as possible.

A week passed very fast.

Samsara Online servers had been open for almost two months now and the Samsara world still continued to receive a steady stream of players. Although the number was slowly starting to decrease as time went by, there were still many flashes of light illuminating the beginner villages, and every day there were several thousand players arriving in the various major cities of the different countries of the world.

During the seven days that passed, some interesting things happened.

For example; Xie Feng received the pleasant news that his good friend Yue Kai was finally accepted by the girl he was courting with so much effort. After Xie Feng met the girl he was happy for his friend as she looked like a pretty and decent young woman who did not look at Yue Kai's money.

From that moment on, every time they all went out to lunch together, the group had become big enough to attract attention not only because of the beauties in it, but also because of the size.

Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, Yao Mei, Han Xue Nai, Xie Feng, Yue Kai and his girlfriend Su Qi Qi, Hu Chen, Xiao Luo, and the occasional joining of Mu Wuying. Considering that usually the groups that the university students formed were four or five people at most, the group was really big... But this also made it more entertaining.

During the previous week, Yao Mei got really close to Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue; she also had no problem talking to the girls or Xie Feng now. Thanks to the cheerful atmosphere surrounding the big group, the young beauty and genius Yao Mei finally began to slowly leave her shell. Although she still clung to her indifference to other people, it was a small progress.

In these seven days, Xie Feng rode and rode practically without stopping for a single moment. However, even by activating Cloud Path, Wind Dance, and Lightning Soul to increase his movement speed immensely, he still hadn't come out of the subway caves... Xie Feng did not even come out of that dark place once for seven days! Seven days in which he spent most of the day just riding his mount.

As a result, Xie Feng's level had fallen slightly behind. But this was of no consequence to him. After all, his level did not represent his actual strength just as his base damage did not represent the true physical attack power he could deal.

Xie Feng fell directly from first place to number four. But even then, after a week of not being able to increase his level, he was still one of the top ten highest level players on the entire Chinese server; which was an incredible feat in itself.

But the most surprising thing was that the level table had several changes and, since Xie Feng never paid attention to the ranking as he was usually busy with other more important things, he only found out about them now.
