Chapter 603: SS-Rank Weapon! Molten Baleful Obsidian Spear!
After confirming the powerful real-combat effect of Phantom Thunder Step.
Xu Jingming, who had taken off the virtual helmet, decisively spent 30,000 ability points to upgrade Beginner Phantom Thunder Step to Master proficiency, and at the same time opened the system panel.
【Name】: Xu Jingming
【Level】: Sixth Tier, Lower Rank
【Ability】: Doushen Shenlei (SS)
【Physique】: Qi and Blood (+)
【Spirit】: He (+)
【Skills】: Spear Art (Grandmaster), Fist Art (Master), Lei Shen Jiang Shi (SSS-rank, Beginner+), Thunder Dragon Art (SS+ rank, Beginner+)......
【Body Tempering】: Indestructible Divine Thunder Body (SS-rank, Seventh Layer)
【Spirit Refining】: Lei Hai Visualization Method (SSS-rank, Second Layer)
【Ability Points】: 92,000
The remaining four Bai Yu Spirit Condensing Pills had already been consumed by him, and his spiritual power had risen by roughly a thousand points or so.
His current self, in terms of the two foundational attributes of physique and spirit, could be said to be a heaven-defying existence among Sixth Tier, Lower Rank ability users!
After all, ordinary Sixth Tier, Lower Rank ability users either follow the warrior path or the elementalist path.
For their physique and spirit attributes, having even one reach the threshold could be considered an extraordinary existence.
"This time I stayed in the wilderness area for 10 days and obtained a total of 127,000 ability points.
Yet just upgrading one S+ rank combat technique cost over 30,000, and I still have one SS+ rank and one SSS-rank combat technique that I haven't learned yet......"
Xu Jingming felt somewhat helpless.
Ability points were consumed far too quickly; it was simply a case of supply not meeting demand.
"Tonight I'll be notified of the arrangements for going to Qingfeng Secret Realm, and I'll see what the situation is then.
If there's still plenty of time before entering the secret realm, I'll head over to the city wall first to take a look.
Counting the time, the beast tide here should be starting again soon."
Xu Jingming murmured silently in his heart.
Rising from the sofa, he said a word to Xia Lan and went up to the second floor of the villa.
There were still 92,000 ability points left on the system panel, and these ability points should be enough to upgrade the SS+ rank "Cang Lei Ba Wang Spear" and the SSS-rank "Ten Thousand Prison Heavenly Thunder Guide."
But these two combat techniques were even more profound, during Xu Jingming's time in the wilderness area.
Apart from hunting fierce beasts, he had devoted almost all of his time to researching the "Lei Huo" combat technique.
This also resulted in these two combat techniques still being far from being understood to the point where they could be upgraded.
But since he was back now, he could go directly to the virtual world and have Teacher Su teach him.
That way, understanding them would be much faster......
Xu Jingming had originally planned to spend the entire afternoon studying combat techniques.
But at a little past five in the afternoon, Weapon Master Kevin suddenly called.
He said the SS-rank long spear had been forged to its final step and required Xu Jingming's ability for the final finishing touches.
Hearing this, Xu Jingming dared not delay. He hurriedly deployed Thunder Dragon Wings and arrived at Kevin's forging ground.
"Clang—"
"Clang—"
"......"
This was an open-air venue of roughly over six hundred square meters.
Within the venue, there were a total of seven blazing hot furnaces.
Six of them were lined up in a row, with crimson high-temperature flames burning inside the furnaces.
Six burly Weapon Masters were each forging weapons of different designs at their respective forging stations.
Weapon Master Kevin stood at the very front like a mentor.
Beside him was also a furnace, but the flame burning inside was a deep blue!
And on the forging table beside the furnace, a long spear with an entirely jet-black body was placed.
"Xu Jingming, over here." Kevin waved and called out.
"Master Kevin." Xu Jingming retracted his Thunder Dragon Wings and landed beside Kevin.
"Your long spear has largely been completed. The total length is 223.6 centimeters.
The spearhead is forged from premium SS-rank alloy doped with SSS-rank alloy.
The spear shaft uses a relatively more resilient SS-rank alloy.
The long spear weighs 3,314 kilograms; it should feel quite handy for you to use.
The entire spear has been enchanted by me with the ability to adapt to lightning.
It can perfectly withstand your SS-rank lightning-type ability without any obstruction.
In fact, when thrusting, it can greatly increase the speed of your strikes, suiting your need for swift and fierce offense."
Kevin gave a detailed introduction.
He possessed the special-type A-rank ability "Enchantment," which could enchant some extremely powerful abilities onto weapons.
And on Xu Jingming's long spear, qualities similar to wind-type and lightning-type abilities had been enchanted.
"The final step of forging requires the use of your lightning-type ability.
Only this way can the long spear better resonate with you."
Kevin's expression turned solemn. "Come, infuse your ability into it!"
"Alright." Xu Jingming did not delay in the slightest.
Blazing golden Lei Ting surged out wildly, pouring into the long spear on the forging platform!
Hum—
The entire pitch-black long spear trembled rapidly, and the intricate patterns on its shaft blazed with brilliant light.
Interweaving with Xu Jingming's lightning-type ability, it seemed to be adapting to something!
After several dozen seconds, the trembling long spear stilled, and the golden patterns on it slowly faded.
Only the crimson patterns remained, as if molten lava flowed within them, deeply etched into the spear.
Lending this entirely pitch-black long spear an added air of mystery and splendor.
"It's done!" Kevin said hurriedly, "Quick, give it a try. If anything doesn't feel right, it's only just been forged — I can still adjust it for you.
If too much time passes, even I would find it hard to adjust!"
Hearing this, Xu Jingming quickly grabbed the long spear from the forging platform.
The long spear, freshly baptized by Dou Tian Shen Lei, was several hundred degrees hot.
But for Xu Jingming, whose physique was immensely powerful, even getting a blister from it was difficult.
Hum—
Once the spear was in hand, a forceful shake immediately produced a Jin Ge sound like a dragon's cry.
"Fine spear!" Xu Jingming's eyes lit up.
Just from hearing the sound, one could tell the alloy materials of the entire spear had been perfectly smelted together.
Otherwise, it would not have produced such a crisp sound.
Xu Jingming immediately began to dance the spear about.
Swish! Swish! Swish!......
The long spear, weighing over three thousand kilograms, felt as light as a toy in Xu Jingming's hands.
The spear became a blur of afterimages, hazy as moonlight.
The sharp spear tip thrust out again and again, swift and fierce as a flood dragon!
Causing the several Weapon Grandmasters forging S-grade weapons below to involuntarily pause their hammering and watch closely.
Xu Jingming's spear was simply too fast — every thrust was like a flash of lightning.
A weapon weighing over three thousand kilograms — even a peak seventh-stage Enhancement-system Grandmaster might not be able to wield it this fast.
If this were used in actual combat, just imagine.
Wouldn't every thrust punch a hole clean through?
Sizzle—
Wild and blazing golden Lei Ting bloomed, flooding the entire spear!
The lava-like patterns on the spear immediately began to flow, and the moonlight-like afterimages instantly turned into a blood-red gleam!
Xu Jingming's thrusting speed was nearly a third faster than before!
"Not bad — I'm very satisfied with this spear!" The spear suddenly halted, and Xu Jingming's face was full of delight.
Although the S-grade Flowing Cloud Jin Feng Spear could also be charged with Lei Ting, there was always a sense of blockage.
Though this blockage was slight, it could still be felt.
But this brand-new SS-grade long spear was different — the Dou Tian Shen Lei flowed within it with perfect smoothness!
As if it were born as one with him!
"Glad you're satisfied." Kevin also breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as he said:
"This spear hasn't been named yet. Since you're the user, why not give it a name now?"
"Give it a name?"
Xu Jingming looked at the long spear in his hand.
The spear was entirely pitch-black; in both shape and color, it bore some resemblance to the Obsidian Spear he had used during his Wu Ke Gaokao.
Only it was far more exquisite, with additional lava-like splendid patterns on the shaft.
The spear blade, over ten centimeters long, gleamed with a chilling cold light under the sun, brimming with killing intent.
"In that case, let's call it the Molten Sha Obsidian Spear." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
