Chapter 1822

The process of inlaying the gems was very smooth. Su Xiao checked the gem inlaying effects of Checking Zhan Long Shan. The gems already inlaid were:

Spirit Cat +13 (Legendary gem): Ignores 45 points of enemy physical defense, reduces the healing effect of the slashed target by 20%, lasting 30 seconds. This gem shatters after being detached and cannot be amplified a second time.

Stone of Severed Soul Shadow · Incomplete (Legendary gem): Sharpness +28.

Stone of Severed Soul Shadow · Incomplete (Legendary gem): Sharpness +29.

Stone of Severed Soul Shadow · Incomplete (Legendary gem): Sharpness +28.

Mad Knight (Legendary gem): When attacking, it carries damage ignoring physical defense equal to real Agility attribute x0.9 (97 points).

Elegy (Legendary gem): If enhancement leads to weapon shattering, Elegy will replace the inlaid weapon in shattering.

Moon's Elegance (Epic-tier gem): After each slash, one will receive the blessing of the Moon Goddess. The weapon is temporarily attached with a rapid effect, increasing slash speed by 6%. This effect can be stacked 3 times, lasting 12 seconds. Each stack will reset the duration of the rapid effect (if Agility attribute is below 90 points, this effect will be significantly reduced; if Stamina attribute is below 100 points, this buff effect cannot be triggered).

Su Xiao drew Checking Zhan Long Shan and tried a forward slash. A slash light appeared in mid-air. Not only that, silvery-white moonlight clung to the surface of Checking Zhan Long Shan, slowly turning into silver light particles and drifting away.

Clang, clang, clang...

Dense silver slash marks appeared in front of Su Xiao. After slashing more than ten times in a row, the effect of 'Moon's Elegance' was fully triggered, increasing the slash speed by a total of 18%.

Su Xiao could clearly feel a pure energy clinging to his right arm. This energy only clung to the surface of his body, temporarily increasing his slash speed.

Before obtaining the Moon's Elegance gem, Su Xiao had tried many methods to increase his sword-swinging speed, but he found that most equipment below Legendary-tier could not increase his slash speed; not even by a fraction.

The quality of the equipment was different, and the intensity of the improvement was of course different. Su Xiao had once seen a Pale Gold quality ring that could increase slash speed by 50%. He was immediately tempted, but as soon as he took that ring in his hand, a hint appeared.

【The Hunter's slash intensity has seriously exceeded the upper limit of this equipment. There is a high risk when using it, and there is no bonus effect.】

That Pale Gold quality ring was very expensive, and Su Xiao didn't buy it for testing, but he bought a glove that could increase sword-swinging speed. That equipment was Blue quality, several times more expensive than similar equipment.

After Su Xiao wore that leather glove, not only did it not increase his slash speed, but after three slashes, the glove exploded, shattered into pieces.

It was precisely through that experiment that Su Xiao learned that equipment had an intensity upper limit. Some equipment seemed to have high bonuses, but in reality, it wasn't even as good as one percent of the bonus effect of high-grade equipment.

Before inlaying Moon's Elegance, Su Xiao was worried that the upper limit of this gem was not high enough. Now it seemed there was no need to worry at all. An 18% slash speed increase was not just less than one-fifth in actual combat.

During battle, even if one was faster by a fraction, one might directly slash off the enemy's head. At his level, let alone an 18% slash speed bonus, even if it was only 5%, he would be willing to exchange it for millions of Paradise Coins.

"Very good."

Checking Zhan Long Shan flipped in Su Xiao's hand, and the long sword returned to its sheath.

After completing the gem inlaying, Su Xiao had other things to do. He came to the sofa, took off his upper garment, and placed his left hand flat on the coffee table.

"Amu, go to laboratory C compartment and take out storage box No. 15."

Amu stood up upon hearing this. To enemies, Amu was a ferocious, cold-blooded combat creature, but when facing Su Xiao, Amu was a helper who was always on call.

Soon, Amu walked out of the alchemy laboratory carrying a metal box with a diameter of two meters and placed the metal box gently beside the coffee table.

With a hiss, steam sprayed from the gap of the metal box, and the entire metal box opened, with various tools appearing before Su Xiao's eyes.

Su Xiao picked up a micro-particle cutter and began to cut the 【King's Imperial Honor】 armguard worn on his left arm. He had worn this thing for a long time. As the enemies he encountered became stronger, a few worlds ago, 【King's Imperial Honor】 often appeared damaged. Every time Reed repaired this thing, he had a headache, and it was very difficult to take off.

To this day, the durability upper limit of 【King's Imperial Honor】 only had 46 points left. It wasn't that Reed's repair level was superb, but this thing had long been permanently damaged. Now Su Xiao had to take off this armguard, and he could only cut it off piece by piece; it was very difficult to take it off as a whole.

Sparks splashed, and with a click, a gap was cut open from the center of 【King's Imperial Honor】. Su Xiao's hand hooked onto the gap.

Click, click, click...

The metal twisted, 【King's Imperial Honor】 was pulled open, and Su Xiao flicked his left arm, and the discarded armguard fell onto the coffee table.

Looking at the uneven scars on the surface of 【King's Imperial Honor】, Su Xiao suspected that even Reed wouldn't accept this thing; it had serious metal fatigue. As for selling it to other Qiyuezhe, except for those newbie white rabbits, no one would buy it at all. Su Xiao had no interest in wasting time scamming those newcomers.

Putting the dozen or so tools and the discarded 【King's Imperial Honor】 into the metal box, Su Xiao took out the 【Black · King's Meteor Sacrifice】 from his storage space. This was an armguard that was pitch black all over. Su Xiao opened the entire armguard and buckled it onto his left arm.

【Black · King's Meteor Sacrifice】 shrank a bit and fit with Su Xiao's left arm. He hesitated for a moment and spent 15,000 Paradise Coins to change the appearance of 【Black · King's Meteor Sacrifice】 to crimson red. The previous 【King's Imperial Honor】 had been changed to this color by him; this had nothing to do with whether the appearance was beautiful or ugly.

If Su Xiao's left arm injury was not serious, blood flowing onto his right hand would be very inconspicuous, which could appropriately hide his injuries.

Su Xiao tried to move the fingers wrapped by the metal armguard; it was very flexible, with no feeling of restraint or sluggishness.

He had just put on his upper garment when news came from Benny. Except for the Ring of Silence, other items had already been sold, selling for a total of 1.73 million Paradise Coins.

If it were just six unidentified Devil Fruits, they definitely wouldn't sell for this price. For Devil Fruits, the identification fee was almost close to their value. For example, if you spent 300,000 Paradise Coins to buy an unidentified fruit, you would have to spend at least 250,000 Paradise Coins to identify it.

Ordinary Qiyuezhe wouldn't buy unidentified Devil Fruits. Such fruits could only be sold to merchants. Identifying them felt quite like opening a treasure chest. Expensive Paramecia might be worth millions of Paradise Coins, while trashy ones wouldn't even be bought for tens of thousands of Paradise Coins. Not only was their combat power not strong, but they required long-term development and would have extra weaknesses. After all, this wasn't the One Piece world, but Reincarnation Paradise where all kinds of abilities could appear.

With a large sum of Paradise Coins in hand, Su Xiao prepared to improve his existing equipment. First was Checking Zhan Long Shan. He didn't intend to improve the enhancement level of Checking Zhan Long Shan through conventional means, but directly used 【Trial of Steel】 to raise Checking Zhan Long Shan to +13. This concerned the Elegy gem on it.

This was the insurance for Checking Zhan Long Shan. Unless absolutely necessary, Su Xiao wouldn't sacrifice this rare gem. For Checking Zhan Long Shan, the value of Elegy was even higher than the Epic-tier gem · Moon's Elegance, as it could avoid the loss of enhancement failure. Once enhancement led to Checking Zhan Long Shan shattering, Su Xiao's combat power would drop significantly.

If Checking Zhan Long Shan could break through to Epic-tier, subsequent enhancement level improvements would still rely on Elegy.

【Proceed with 'Trial of Steel' on growth-type weapon · Checking Zhan Long Shan (Epic-tier)? Yes/No.】

Su Xiao directly confirmed. The highest quality that Trial of Steel could improve was Epic-tier. Using it on Checking Zhan Long Shan was very profitable. Checking Zhan Long Shan, which was in its sheath, was wrapped in chains one by one.

【Estimated time required: 16 minutes 57 seconds.】
