Chapter 264: Golden Hourglass, Lizardman Ancestor Trial

After Su Ming entered the stone gate, he first came to the sides of the road, slashed all the strengthening crystals around, and collected them into his personal space.

He obtained about a dozen strengthening crystals.

They were all of good texture, with some white impurities lingering in the core; holding them in his hand, there was a cold feeling.

Strengthening crystals were a rare forging material, capable of forging weapons, and at the same time, they could also be used to strengthen weapons, increase core attributes, and even had a probability of sublimating affixes.

He scanned the grade of these strengthening crystals.

【Strengthening Crystal (1st Tier)】

【Consuming strengthening crystals can upgrade equipment; the strengthening level cannot exceed the crystal level】

A 1st-tier strengthening crystal can strengthen equipment up to +1 tier at most.

A 2nd-tier strengthening crystal can strengthen it up to +2.

And so on.

Su Ming directly used the Everything Sublimation talent.

To sublimate this batch of crystals completely.

Suddenly, a few of the crystals turned into sky-blue small fragmented crystal blocks.

There were also a few that turned into dark green crystals.

Finally, there was one that was a dark yellow crystal block.

There were a total of 10 that were upgraded to 2nd-tier strengthening crystals.

4 were upgraded to 3rd-tier.

One reached 4th-tier.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary adventurers need to leave the dungeon after picking up strengthening crystals and go back to find a blacksmith to strengthen their weapons.

But Su Ming could skip this step.

He started strengthening on the spot!

He pulled out his Dragon-Inlaid Broken Sword.

The blade flew over and combined together.

He raised his hand and clenched it, and 【Forging Power】 surged over.

Fusing the blade with a few 2nd-tier strengthening crystals together.

This was physical labor, and it required extremely cautious operation.

Because... strengthening weapons has the possibility of damage.

Once it fails, not only can the weapon not be strengthened and upgraded, but even the quality may drop.

If one's luck is even worse, the weapon might even be completely shattered and damaged, making it impossible to use again.

So Su Ming must ensure that he can succeed.

Click, click, click...

The crystals gradually fused with the blade, and finally, the strengthening was successful.

【Strengthening successful!】

【Dragon-Inlaid Broken Sword +2 (Dagger, Short Sword dual-type weapon)】

【Quality: low-tier Diamond】

【Flame Scale: A fire dragon scale is embedded in the center of the broken sword, providing this sword with a 250% fire attribute damage bonus.】

【Split Edge: The blade of this sword can detach and turn into a flying sword, driven by the owner's intent.】

【Broken Blade: This weapon was once a complete long sword, so it can be judged as a sword-type weapon. But after the split edge breaks, it is a broken sword, which is the length of a short dagger, so it can be judged as a short sword or dagger-type weapon. (Also commonly known as: dual-type weapon)】

【Strengthening +2 extra bonus: Weapon sharpness and hardness increased by 50%】

Very good, Su Ming nodded secretly.

Even one of the affixes was upgraded.

【Flame Scale】 was originally called 【Fire Scale】, originally 200% fire attribute damage, now it has become 250%.

Plus the extra 50% increase in weapon sharpness and hardness.

The attributes of this sword are now very powerful.

This strengthening consumed a total of seven 2nd-tier strengthening crystals.

Subsequently, Su Ming used up all the 3rd-tier strengthening crystals to strengthen this sword to +3.

The power was improved by another wave.

【Forging Power proficiency +459】

"It's a pity that it can't be strengthened to +4, because there is only one 4th-tier crystal, which is definitely not enough, so I can only keep it for now."

Su Ming said solemnly.

He put the crystals into his personal space for storage.

Suddenly, a voice rang out in his mind.

【Dual Sword Mastery proficiency +238】

【Skill upgrade】

【Dual Sword Research (low-tier Platinum)】

【Your mastery of dual swords has reached the point where your heart and hands correspond.】

Su Ming's mouth curled slightly.

"The automatic cultivation talent... is really amazing."

"I can improve my proficiency even if I stand still."

He checked his personal information again.
