In a common alley within Pingwu City, an old lady carrying a vegetable basket was walking slowly. Suddenly, she saw a tall figure appearing out of thin air on the previously empty ground in front of her, and she couldn't help but stop in her tracks, her expression slightly bewildered.

Two seconds later, seeing the tall young man who had suddenly appeared walking quickly out of the alley, the vegetable-buying old lady could only sigh and mutter to herself:

"Ah... I'm getting old... Almost didn't see such a big person just now..."

The old lady attributed the strange scene she saw to her blurry vision, unaware that she had coincidentally witnessed Wang Zhifan returning from the duplicate world.

"So the duplicate world can also serve as a landing point after exiting a duplicate."

At this moment, as Wang Zhifan walked out of the narrow alley, he continued to stroll leisurely within the duplicate world of Pingwu City, where Wuji Sect was located, searching for a place more suitable for his affairs.

However, after walking for a while without finding an inn to his liking, he felt that continuing to search would be a bit troublesome, so he found an empty place with no people, took out his Wuji Sect Guest Minister Token, and decisively left this world.

This time, he landed on his own territory, situated in the East City villa area of Dongjiang City, Xia Country, appearing in the bedroom on the second floor of this grand mansion.

"As usual, let's check the rewards first."

Having returned to a safe place, Wang Zhifan first found his phone to check the time, confirming that it was still the morning of the day he entered the duplicate world in the real world. The time he spent in the eerie duplicate world had still been significantly compressed, so he began to examine his spoils one by one.

Before doing this, he removed the Tree-man Mask he had been wearing on his face, returning to his original appearance, since there was no need to continue disguising himself in his own house.

Then, the first item he took out from his personal space was the highest-tier reward from this duplication, the Epic Layer Immortal Deceit Ring.

The design of the Immortal Deceit Ring was quite different from the other rings he had acquired in the past. It wasn't an elegant or beautiful gemstone ring, but rather a pitch-black, slightly ominous ring of unknown material. With a faint, foreboding dark light, it gave off an inescapably eerie feeling at first glance.

"This epic-level ring is not as low-key as the rare or fine layer ones, but with my current strength, being conspicuous isn't much of an issue."

With this sarcastic thought, Wang Zhifan picked up the obviously valuable black ring with his right hand and prepared to put it on his left hand finger, but then he noticed that his left hand's ring slots seemed a bit crowded.

He saw that on his left hand, which was wearing the Fury Gloves, his index, middle, and ring fingers each bore a gemstone ring. These were the rare-level Ape King's Fury, the rare-level Sea God's Meditation, and the fine-layer Unyielding Ring. If he continued to wear the Immortal Deceit Ring on his left hand, he might need to put it on his left pinky or thumb.

Thanks to the generally adaptable nature of duplicate equipment, Wang Zhifan wasn't worried that the Immortal Deceit Ring wouldn't fit on his pinky, but the issue was that wearing four rings on one hand was a bit challenging to his sense of aesthetics. Putting it on his right hand would make wielding a knife slightly uncomfortable but not impossible.

"Never mind... Wearing so many rings on both hands is a bit too tacky and ostentatious. Let's take off one or two..."

After considering it for a moment, Wang Zhifan felt that he didn't need to equip everything on himself indiscriminately, given that his current strength was far superior, and ordinary beings couldn't pose any threat to him.

"The Ape King's Fury, this rare-level ring, is a warrior profession exclusive that increases the critical strike chance, so it's better to keep it."

"The Sea God's Meditation, this rare-level ring, increases stamina and energy recovery, optional to keep or remove."

"The Unyielding Ring, this fine-layer old comrade, boosts life recovery speed, could be taken off first."

After checking the effects of each of the three rings on his left hand, Wang Zhifan removed his long-held fine-layer Unyielding Ring and replaced it with the epic-level Immortal Deceit Ring.

This decision was mainly because the life recovery speed bonus was of little significance to him now for three reasons.

Firstly, his current defensive capabilities were extraordinarily strong, almost having no chance of getting injured.

Secondly, his physical attributes were now very high, capable of handling minor injuries with his basic life recovery ability, so there was little need to hasten it.

Thirdly, he had a bottle of 21 Celestial Essence Elixir pills in his personal space. If he suffered a severe injury, consuming the elixir would solve the problem, without having to wait for natural recovery.

"Even the Sea God's Meditation ring seems non-essential if taken off, but wearing three is already a habit, so let's keep it."

Having casually placed the fine-layer Unyielding Ring back into his personal space, Wang Zhifan decided against removing another ring that wasn't of particular necessity, then took out his second spoils from his personal space, the Invisible Deceitful Clothing.

The form of the Invisible Deceitful Clothing was quite peculiar, just like its name. It was formless and intangible; even Wang Zhifan, its owner, felt like he was touching air. He could only sense its presence through perception, making it difficult for anyone nearby to notice its existence.

After feeling around, Wang Zhifan smoothly donned this elusive extraordinary-level garment, taking off the standard outerwear from reality and placing the Invisible Deceitful Clothing over the rare-level Jade Silk Armor worn inside. Then, with a thought, standing before the wardrobe mirror, he found his attire beginning to transform in various ways—one moment he appeared in a sharp suit, then in casual short clothes, and even as a martial artist in traditional attire. It was essentially a one-click outfit change, incredibly convenient.

"Just for the ability to change outfit forms, this equipment already holds a considerable value, not to mention its other functions. I probably won't switch it out lightly in the future."

The Invisible Deceitful Clothing, besides its transformative capabilities, offered 30% overall damage reduction, added 10 points to Spirit, increased energy recovery speed by 80%, and came with an extraordinary invisible skill. With the invisible skill activated, the wearer could directly become immune to various types of damage, maxing out defensive abilities. However, the skill's limitation was that it could only be used for a maximum of one minute per day, requiring a keen sense of timing from the user.

For this invisible skill, Wang Zhifan experimented with it for two seconds after putting on the clothing. He found that upon activation, his entire body became transparently phantom-like, a very noticeable characteristic. This meant that if he used the ability in front of an enemy, they could easily become alert, essentially constituting a disadvantage.
