Chapter 261

The deep blue light faded after more than ten minutes, all merging into the blade of Zhan Long Shan.

A touch of purple sharp light flashed across the edge of Zhan Long Shan. This sword was like a divine weapon that had been passed down for a long time—slender, straight, and sharp.

Su Xiao gripped the hilt of Zhan Long Shan. It was still that familiar feeling, which made him very satisfied.

……

The attributes of Zhan Long Shan had an explosive increase, and various performances grew by leaps and bounds. This was the difference between a purple weapon and a blue weapon.

Su Xiao aimed the blade of Zhan Long Shan at himself, and a feeling of hair standing on end appeared. If he were slashed on the head, his head might...

Su Xiao was very satisfied with this terrifying sharpness. If he obtained a purple weapon that increased sharpness in the future, Zhan Long Shan would be even more terrifying.

Su Xiao looked at the remaining 22,947 Paradise Coins, feeling a bit of heartache.

Zhan Long Shan was a growth-type weapon, a point that no weapon of the same level could compare to, but the cost of growth was very high.

Thinking of the expensive price of purple weapons, Su Xiao felt a bit dark before his eyes, and there were higher grades above purple quality.

Perhaps one day he could cultivate Zhan Long Shan into a "Divine Weapon," but the Paradise Coins required for that...

The future was dark. Su Xiao decided to improve his own skills first. He still had many things to deal with, such as improving the Qing Gang Ying skill.

Su Xiao had harvested three Soul Crystals (Small) this time.

Consuming three Soul Crystals (Small) + 3,000 Paradise Coins, Su Xiao upgraded Qing Gang Ying by three levels in a row.

【Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to lv. 5.】

【Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to lv. 6.】

【Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to lv. 7.】

When Qing Gang Ying was upgraded to lv. 5, no reward appeared, which meant that the limit of Qing Gang Ying was not lv. 10. This was good news.

The energy of Qing Gang Ying in his body surged. If Qing Gang Ying's energy was a small stream before, now this energy had become a small river.

Qing Gang Ying: lv. 7 (Active Skill)

Usage Condition: After activating (Qing Gang Ying), the hunter consumes 4 mana points per minute, and it automatically turns off after mana is below 1%.

Skill Effect: After activating (Qing Gang Ying), each melee attack will eliminate 28 mana points from the enemy and cause the same amount of true damage. The enemy will suffer intense pain after mana burning.

……

The mana consumption per minute increased by 1 point, but the effect of Qing Gang Ying burning energy was becoming more and more terrifying, almost reaching 30 points.

What is the concept of 28 mana points + same amount of true damage per slash? For example, the mana of general melee fighters is mostly around 50 to 100 points. Very few melee fighters increase their intelligence attribute, and equipment that increases mana is also very rare.

Take a tank with 100 mana points as an example. After the battle starts, Su Xiao only needs three slashes, after which the other party can't even release skills and can only stupidly hold the shield and curse Su Xiao to die a bad death in their heart.

After upgrading Qing Gang Ying, Su Xiao took out the Flame of Luck (Green). He wasn't going to open a box, but to upgrade this green equipment.

This green equipment was more important to Su Xiao than purple equipment; opening boxes depended entirely on it.

【Favor of the Child of Destiny】 appeared in his hand. This was a gelatinous substance that could upgrade white or green equipment by one grade.

Su Xiao had inquired with Reincarnation Paradise. Even if the Flame of Luck was upgraded to blue, the effect of Flame of Luck strengthening +7 would not disappear, and there was no need to re-strengthen it. It could be seen how precious 【Favor of the Child of Destiny】 was; after all, this was a purple item.

Placing 【Favor of the Child of Destiny】 and 【Flame of Luck】 together, a hint from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

【Yes/No to use 'Favor of the Child of Destiny' on 'Flame of Luck (Green)'? After use, Flame of Luck will be upgraded to blue quality, and the attached ability will be strengthened.】

Choosing to use it, Su Xiao stared intently at the Flame of Luck.

"Woof!"

A loud bark startled Su Xiao. It was Xiang Bubu. Xiang Bubu was just gnawing on a dumbbell, and he didn't know when he had come to his side.

Looking at the poor dumbbell, more than a dozen transparent holes appeared on the iron plate, which was no longer as simple as tooth marks.

"Why, do you want to tell me that the dumbbell moved first?"

Xiang Bubu Wang's furry ears stood upright, and he barked a few more times.

"Hungry?"

"Woof."

"Endure it. When I finish my business, I'll take you out for a big meal."

"Woof woof."

This silly dog had actually learned to talk back.

"……"

Su Xiao looked at Xiang Bubu Wang with a smile on his face. Xiang Bubu Wang immediately became honest and turned to continue gnawing on the iron plate, seemingly trying to see if the iron plate could be eaten...

"Solving" Xiang Bubu Wang, Su Xiao's gaze turned to the Flame of Luck. At this time, the Flame of Luck was completely wrapped in the gelatinous substance, and its internal structure was gradually changing. It seemed it would take some time to complete the promotion.

Taking advantage of the time for the Flame of Luck to upgrade, Su Xiao took out the 【Bull Leader Arm Guard】.

The 【Bull Leader Arm Guard】 was an arm guard for the left arm, which could wrap the entire forearm and palm, similar in appearance to the Knight King's arm guard.

However, the 【Bull Leader Arm Guard】 was obviously more precise than the Knight King's. Su Xiao equipped the 【Bull Leader Arm Guard】, and the entire arm guard shrank with the thickness of his left forearm, shrinking to the extent that it could just wrap the forearm.

The 【Bull Leader Arm Guard】 was crimson all over, and the joints at the fingers and wrists were very precise. Attempting to move his fingers, it was effortless and very natural.

Although the left forearm was equipped with an arm guard, Su Xiao's left forearm didn't look bloated. The material of the entire arm guard was not thick, and the perfect streamlined shape looked unusually handsome. When the sleeve was let down, it was like he had a crimson metal palm.

Su Xiao took out another thread wheel, which was wrapped with Boundary Breaking Thread.

His idea was to combine the Bull Leader Arm Guard with the Boundary Breaking Thread. If successful, the functions of this arm guard would be more diversified, and perhaps he could create a simplified version of Cross Tail.

With the protection of the metal arm guard, using the Boundary Breaking Thread was simpler, and it wouldn't hurt his hands, and the usage methods became more diverse.

Doing it as he thought, Su Xiao put the Flame of Luck, which was being upgraded, into his storage space, got up and left the exclusive room. Xiang Bubu Wang followed quickly; he probably thought they were going to eat.

Combining the Bull Leader Arm Guard with the Boundary Breaking Thread was not simple. The Bull Leader Arm Guard was purple equipment, and the comprehensive ability of the Boundary Breaking Thread was not bad either.

To achieve this, he could only find some special employees, some forging masters with high forging skill levels.

These people were not too hard to find, but Su Xiao happened to know a shop opened by a forging master in Reincarnation Paradise. He had heard Xia mention it once when eating at Xia's restaurant.

The location of the shop was very remote. Su Xiao walked for half an hour, turning seven corners and eight turns, before finding it, and he even got lost twice during the process.

This was a low-lying shop. The entire shop was unremarkable, with a wooden sign hanging in front of the door, on which it was written:

"Minimum consumption in this shop is 5,000 Paradise Coins. Poor ghosts, please do not enter."

Su Xiao was dumbfounded, but he still stepped into the shop. People with ability all had some strange tempers, especially in forging.

"Not open for business today... Can you let me admire this sword of yours?"

An old man holding a hammer walked toward him. The old man's bare upper body muscles bulged. He was not tall, looked very sturdy, and the exposed skin was red, which was obviously caused by long-term work at high temperatures.

The old man was bald, not only bald but also had no eyebrows. The whole head was bare, looking very fierce.

"No."

Su Xiao refused decisively. It was common sense that a sword carried with him could not be shown to outsiders.

"Let me admire this sword. If the cost is below 6,000, I can do it for free for you."

The bald old man kept staring at Zhan Long Shan.

"The sword cannot be shown to you, but this thing can."

Su Xiao took off the 【Bull Leader Arm Guard】 and threw it to the bald old man.

"Purple arm guard, this is also not bad. Let me see, tsk tsk, 15 points of strength bonus, top-tier!"

After checking the attributes of the 【Bull Leader Arm Guard】, the bald old man looked satisfied. This was an equipment fanatic.

"This arm guard is already perfect. I don't have the ability to strengthen it further."

"It's not strengthening, but combining this Boundary Breaking Thread with the arm guard, provided that the original structure of the arm guard cannot be destroyed."

The bald old man nodded knowingly. This was not difficult for him.

"Location."

"Below the wrist, the part just covered by the sleeve."

"This is not difficult, but the thread wheel needs to be re-customized. The strength of this thread wheel of yours is completely insufficient. Plus the labor fee, it's 8,000 Paradise Coins in total. No bargaining."

"Okay, let's sign a contract."

Su Xiao drafted a contract, the general content of which was: if the Bull Leader Arm Guard is damaged, the bald old man needs to compensate according to the market price, which was a sky-high price.

After confirming that there were no loopholes in the contract, the bald old man signed it readily, confident in his craftsmanship.

"Come and pick it up the day after tomorrow."

After speaking, the bald old man walked toward the inside of the shop, where there was a small workshop. Enthusiastic hospitality had nothing to do with the bald old man.

Su Xiao turned and left, heading straight for Xia's restaurant. Xiang Bubu Wang, that silly dog, was already rolling his eyes from hunger.

Sitting in the restaurant opened by Xia, the gentle cook Xia had already gone to the back kitchen to get busy.

The Flame of Luck still needed about an hour to complete the promotion. Su Xiao was full of expectations, wondering what changes the Flame of Luck would produce.

Summer had passed, and Fei Wen would finally not be bitten by mosquitoes.
