Chapter 674

This was a labor of love, gathering dozens of types of steel with the Dead Poison King Scale, the Shadow-Slaying Sword, and the Meteorite Sword Embryo as its core!

He checked the effects of this weapon directly.

【Shadow Poison Monarch Sword (Lower-tier Shi Shi)】

【The Shadow Flow holds poison, a hundred enemies perish beneath the blade. A shadow blade without physical form, possessing terrifying toxicity.】

【Affix · King Poison: This weapon contains extremely violent toxicity. Enemies struck by its poison attribute will suffer negative effects such as slowness, decay, bleeding, and severe injury, losing health rapidly. While the toxicity is in effect, the opponent's mental power is continuously drained by you (poison stacks can be accumulated).】

【Master-Protecting Spirit Sword: This sword can float in mid-air, surrounding its master to automatically block damage, or attack enemies automatically from a distance.】

【Shadow Concealment: This sword can lurk within any shadow, and the master can summon it with a thought at any time.】

【Dark Poison Edge: This sword's blade will not cause any physical damage, instead dealing 100% dark attribute + 100% poison attribute mixed damage.】

【Curse · Poison Shadow】

【Negative Effect: While holding this sword, your shadow will be treated as an attackable entity. When your shadow suffers an attack, you receive 30% of the actual damage value.】

【Buff Effect: When wielding this sword, an afterimage appears behind you, which will replicate all your moves, dealing 30% poison-dark mixed attribute damage.】

Seeing the new effects of this sword, Su Ming's eyes were filled with shock.

Most of the essence effects of the Shadow-Slaying Sword had been inherited.

Only the effect of the blade lengthening was not inherited, but he did not feel regret.

Because it was replaced by a more effective curse-based buff!

Wielding the sword creates an afterimage, replicating all moves one hundred percent.

Originally, there was only an 80% probability of a Shadow Slash appearing, but now it had become a guaranteed shadow-coordinated strike.

The effect could be said to be much stronger.

Moreover, the original blade-lengthening effect actually had a substitute: the Master-Protecting Spirit Sword affix. Since it could fly through the air to kill, it was equivalent to the blade lengthening.

The most impressive was the 【King Poison】 affix; one poison could trigger multiple negative effects, and it could also stack, draining the enemy's mental power while severely injuring them.

Su Ming carefully stored the sword in his shadow to carry with him.

He opened his personal account.

He discovered that Yan Ze had sent him over 100 million Arrival Coins.

Postscript: Su Ming, I bet on you and won over 400 million; I've already split it among everyone.

"Tsk tsk, this kid is truly generous, and he even split it with us." Su Ming smiled indifferently.

"The gains from his massive gamble are even four times more than the Myriad Race Coins obtained by the champion..."

"Now, with my champion reward of over 10 million Myriad Race Coins, plus the 100 million Arrival Coins Yan Ze sent, I can be considered quite wealthy."

"I haven't challenged the Tower of Heavenly Silence in a long time; it's time to go take a look," he muttered.

The rewards within the Tower of Heavenly Silence in the Heavenly Tower Realm were also very generous.

He set off immediately.

At the same time, he took off his Heavenly Tower Society token and examined it.

The original blue crystal token had been upgraded to purple crystal material, looking more majestic.

This meant he was already an Shi Shi-tier Hunter!

The Hunter rank advancing by one tier unconditionally was also one of the champion rewards.

Su Ming hadn't accepted many missions, yet he had directly promoted to Shi Shi-tier; the feeling was truly a bit surreal.

He remembered that in his past life, he had accepted dozens of missions, working himself to the bone, and it had taken him several years to barely squeeze into the Shi Shi-tier.

The privileges of an Shi Shi-tier Hunter were numerous, for example: having the right to have equipment appraised by the auction house remotely without having to run there himself, and even being able to advance-draw earnings after an auction, with much lower commission fees from the Chamber of Commerce.

When accepting Heavenly Tower hunting missions, he also had the right to priority selection, and there were even hidden missions available, plus the ability to accept missions remotely!

It could be said that wearing such a token, no matter where he went, he was an honored guest.

Su Ming immediately used his privileges to list useless items on the auction house remotely.

They could sell for nearly 1 million Myriad Race Coins.

Subsequently, he converted all 100 million Arrival Coins sent by Yan Ze into Myriad Race Coins.

Now, he had nearly 25 million Myriad Race Coins on him.

When leaving the inn, Su Ming looked at the Fat Goose Butler and asked a question.

"Old Goose, have you seen your boss lately?"

Su Ming often came to this inn, and over time, he had become slightly familiar with Old Goose.

Although Su Ming had changed his appearance many times, Old Goose was a demi-human, and he identified people through scent, so he could naturally judge the familiar smell.

Old Goose shook his head upon hearing this.

"I haven't seen her for a long time; she seems to be preparing for some major ceremony."

Su Ming's eyes were solemn; he always felt that Ye Zi, this Black Witch, was using the Breathless Dead Souls for something unspeakable.

However, that had nothing to do with him.

He walked hurriedly, quickly rushing to the Tower of Heavenly Silence.

At this moment, it was already overcrowded.

It seemed that, inspired by the competition, all the newcomers were like they had been injected with adrenaline, wanting to become strong frantically.

The Tower of Heavenly Silence had never had so many people in recent years as it did today.

"Damn it, the Moon-Slaying Swordsman is too cool. If I continue to be decadent, I'll waste my seven-star talent. Enough talk, I'm going in to charge!" said a petite, cute-looking short-haired female mage, who rushed in headlong.

"Inspired by him, the alumni of my year who are qualified to enter the Heavenly Tower Realm have basically all come to challenge the Tower of Heavenly Silence!"

"Hmph, I will definitely break through the 15th floor today!"

"In this world, strength is respected. Even the Zhang family has the possibility of losing, so what reason do we have to complain? Striving to become strong is our only destination!"

"Today, everyone is charging the tower!"

The surrounding crowd was clamorous, all looking excited.

Suddenly, Su Ming saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

He... was sporting a shiny, polished head, with a long sword strapped to his back.

"Hmph, what is the Moon-Slaying Swordsman?"

"You haven't seen a true sword-dao expert." He crossed his arms and let out a cold sneer.

His words were completely out of place with the surroundings.

As soon as this was said, it immediately drew sideways glances from the people around him.

"Baldy, are you crazy?"

"The Moon-Slaying Swordsman is definitely the strongest newcomer this year. He got first place; can you just spout nonsense with your mouth?"

"If there is a swordsman stronger than him, bring out the evidence!"

Su Ming recognized this guy at a glance.

Lin Cang, a second-turn Grass-Cutting Swordsman, six-star talent.

Back then, when Su Ming was buying drinks at a bar on Blue Star, he was pointed at by this kid with a sword, and Su Ming immediately taught him a lesson.

He used his sword to shave off all his hair.

He didn't expect to meet him here again. ===== CHAPTER 676 =====
