Shi Feng produced the Seven-Colored Fruit without bothering to conceal its attributes. The fragrance wafting from it drew the gaze of every person present.
After everyone had examined the fruit's attributes, they were struck speechless with shock.
Compared to the Seven-Colored Fruit, the fruits obtained by Team Leader Duotian Feng and Si Yu Qing Xuan were utterly worthless — there was simply no basis for comparison.
It wasn't as though Divine Realm had no other items capable of permanently boosting base attributes, but up until now, no one had heard of anything that could permanently increase a player's hidden attributes.
The four hidden attributes weren't something that could be raised simply by leveling up.
Yet these four hidden attributes were of critical importance to expert players.
The very reason Wind God's Spear had gathered together to take on this dangerous quest was the promise of a weapon or piece of equipment that could boost a hidden attribute. But now, a single Seven-Colored Fruit had blown that equipment's hidden attribute gains completely out of the water.
"I bet even a top-tier Epic weapon wouldn't be enough to trade for a Seven-Colored Fruit."
"What nonsense — if I had a Seven-Colored Fruit, I wouldn't trade it even for a full set of Epic-grade equipment. Those are hidden attributes, and each one can go up by fifteen to forty points. Who knows how long we'd have to grind quests to get even one hidden attribute boosted, let alone all four."
"Even if you don't use it yourself, giving it to an NPC direct guard would be a solid move. NPC guards are way stronger than players of the same level. If you could push an NPC guard's potential up to Dark Gold-grade, that'd be like having a growing boss right by your side — how awesome would that be?"
"The higher you climb in Divine Realm's advancement tiers, the harder it gets. For the sake of the future, you should use it on yourself. Strength is the only thing that truly matters. Once you're powerful enough on your own, you won't have to worry about scoring good loot later."
Everyone buzzed with discussion, drowning in envy over the Seven-Colored Fruit.
Whether used on oneself or on an NPC direct guard, it was an outstanding choice either way.
It would be a lie to say they weren't jealous, but Shi Feng's strength spoke for itself — he had every right to possess it.
Shi Feng then pocketed the Seven-Colored Fruit, since he had no intention of deciding how to use it right now. After all, he hadn't left the God's Trial yet, and whether he could even pass it was still up in the air. If he failed, consuming the fruit would be a complete waste.
As for the Epic-grade chest he had received, it was locked and couldn't be opened at the moment. He would need to collect twenty-one Magic Crystal Stones before it could be unlocked, so he set it aside.
He also had no plans to use the Dark Gold Mastery Book immediately. Even if he did, the book's mastery boost ranged from fifty to three hundred points — not a huge help for him. Unless he got absurdly lucky and gained over a hundred points of mastery, it wouldn't be enough to advance him from Initial Sword King to Intermediate Sword King.
That left only one thing: the fourth-tier finishing move, Cold Domain.
What dangers lay ahead remained unknown, but Cold Domain would provide a massive boost to combat strength — far more than the Seven-Colored Fruit. The fruit only added a handful of attribute points, and while its hidden attribute gains were enormously valuable for long-term growth, their immediate impact was quite limited.
Without further hesitation, Shi Feng tapped the prompt to learn Cold Domain.
