One sentence can sum up the value of an unlimited growth set: In the thousand-year history of the Otherworld descending upon Earth, so far, there has only been one set in the entire world, that is the Transcendent Set on Zhang Yue.
Even Ghostsword Elfa, the world's number one profession powerhouse, had once slain multiple king-class BOSSes.
But even a level 500 king-class BOSS does not have the potential to drop an unlimited growth set. At most, it might only drop a single unlimited growth piece of equipment.
However, what's the use of just one piece of unlimited growth equipment?
Even if another one drops later, it still cannot form a set.
Compared with a full unlimited growth set, there is absolutely no comparison.
And now, the [Wrath God Set] in Zhang Yue's hands, is the world's second unlimited growth set.
Zhang Yue looked at it and found that this set was currently only level 1 star. It required the wearer to equip and fight with it in order to raise its grade.
And the Wrath God Set's upgrade nature was completely different from the Transcendent Set on Zhang Yue.
The Transcendent Set upgrades by devouring other equipment to gain evolution value.
But the Wrath God Set upgrades by having the wearer attack to accumulate experience points. When the required exp is met, it can level up.
At first glance, the latter's upgrade difficulty seems lower.
But in truth, it isn't so.
The Wrath God Set's exp requirement is extremely high.
According to the description on the gear, in its current state, each attack by the wearer only grants 0.1 exp.
And for one piece of equipment, it takes 100 exp to level up.
Including weapon, ring, hat, necklace, clothes, pants, and shoes, seven slots total, that means 700 exp is needed to upgrade the full set.
Each attack grants 0.1 exp.
Which means, the wearer must launch 7,000 attacks to upgrade the Wrath God Set from 1 star to 2 stars.
If just going from 1 star to 2 stars already requires this much exp, one can imagine how hard later upgrades will be.
The Transcendent Set is different.
As long as there are enough discarded items, it can level up.
The condition is: the equipment must be personally dropped by the wearer to count as upgrade material.
The Wrath God Set also has one rather interesting feature.
It has a [Wrath Value] setting.
The Wrath God Set can constantly detect the wearer's inner anger.
Measured in percentages: when the wearer is calm, wrath value is 30%. When angry, the wrath value rises.
And wrath value is the very core of the Wrath God Set.
Just as the core of the Transcendent Set is its ability to absorb other set skills, the Wrath God Set's core is its final stat bonus, which scales with wrath value.
At a calm state with 30% wrath value, the wearer gains 30% final all-stats bonus.
The higher the wrath value, the higher the bonus.
Minimum is 30%.
Maximum, no limit!
That means, theoretically, as long as the wearer's anger peaks, even if the set is only 10 stars, it could potentially unleash the power of a 100-star set.
Because here's the key point: the Wrath God Set's all-stat boost is final bonus, not base bonus.
Even just the base 30% final all-stat boost is already terrifying.
If applied to Zhang Yue, it would mean his combat power is directly increased by 1.3 times on his current foundation.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yue already had the Transcendent Set, so he couldn't equip the Wrath God Set.
And Zhang Yue's emotions were always steady. Rarely could anyone truly anger him.
So this Wrath God Set wouldn't work well on Zhang Yue.
It needed someone whose emotions were volatile, quick to rage, to unleash its true might.
In comparison, the eight set skills of the Transcendent Set were irreplaceable in the buffs they gave Zhang Yue.
Besides, wrath value also affects exp gain for the Wrath God Set.
For example: at the base 30% wrath value, the wearer's exp gain from attacks is increased by 30%.
So instead of 7,000 attacks at 0.1 exp each to reach 700, in reality each attack grants 0.13 exp, and it only takes 5,385 attacks.
And that's just the base wrath boost.
Get angrier, and exp comes even faster.
Weighing the options, Zhang Yue decided to give this set to the Apex Predator.
Among all his pets, the Apex Predator was probably the most emotionally unstable. Often stabbing the Skeleton King's butt with a knife for no reason, which was already routine.
Next, Zhang Yue turned his attention to the mythical treasure.

[Wrath Source Stone] (Mythical Treasure)
[Description: A source stone condensed from the life force of the God of Wrath. Constantly detects the carrier's anger. Grants final all-stat boost based on wrath value. Each 1% wrath = 1% final all-stat boost. Wrath floor: 30%. No upper limit.]
[Wearer: None]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Oh wow, same effect as the Wrath God Set?"
Zhang Yue hadn't expected this Wrath Source Stone's effect to be exactly the same as the Wrath God Set.
That meant, if paired together with the Wrath God Set, even at minimum, one person could get a 60% all-stat boost.
And remember, both are final bonuses.
Neither has a limit.
Now that was interesting.
Then, Zhang Yue looked at the last item.
Naturally, the strongest forbidden curse skill of the Otherworld.
And moreover, 5S rank.
Zhang Yue currently already had one forbidden curse:
Secret Art · Lightning Summoning.
Every forbidden curse skill in the Otherworld was of apocalyptic power.
At present, across the world, the number of forbidden curses in existence was still very few.
It was unimaginable for one person to hold two forbidden curses at once…

[Thunder of Wrath] (SSSSS-rank Forbidden Curse Skill)
[Description: Wrath transforms into thunder. Shatter darkness with lightning. Explode with rage, dealing absolute damage to all enemies in range. Ignores defense, ignores damage reduction, ignores resistance. (Attack range and damage are determined by wrath value at time of casting)]
[Wrath Value: 0%] (Wrath value can be accumulated at any time. Skill requires >30% to activate. No upper limit. Each 1% wrath adds +3 yards to attack radius and +20% absolute damage. At 30% wrath, skill deals 600% absolute damage to all enemies in a 90-yard radius.)
[Cost: All wrath value]
[Cooldown: None (can be used as long as wrath value >30%; cannot be used if below 30%)]
