Chapter 502

Zhan Long Shan was now of purple quality, with a sharpness of 67%. If he wanted to promote it to dark purple quality, he would need to consume at least two purple sword-type weapons.

Su Xiao already had one purple sword-type weapon, which was the 【Curved Claw Blade】, a purple sword-type item with a rating of 136 points.

Looking at it this way, he only needed to buy one more purple sword-type weapon.

However, before improving Zhan Long Shan, Su Xiao wanted to strengthen Zhan Long Shan.

One had to know that the cost of strengthening purple quality weapons and dark purple quality weapons was very different.

There was a problem in front of him: after Zhan Long Shan improved its quality, would the strengthening level decrease? It hadn't decreased when it was promoted from blue to purple quality, but that didn't mean the strengthening level wouldn't decrease when it was promoted from purple to dark purple quality.

Before the improvement, he had judged for a long time whether to retain the strengthening level. Su Xiao estimated that this time, when improving the quality of Zhan Long Shan, the strengthening level was very likely to decrease.

This was a normal situation. The cost of strengthening blue quality equipment and purple equipment wasn't much different, and retaining the strengthening level was possible, but dark purple equipment was different.

According to Su Xiao's observation, dark purple equipment was the strongest equipment that a small number of first-tier Contractors could obtain, and qualities above that were not something first-tier Contractors had the ability to obtain.

After trying to inquire with Reincarnation Paradise and spending a consultation fee of 500 Paradise Coins, Su Xiao received a clear answer.

If Zhan Long Shan's quality was improved to dark purple, the strengthening level would decrease!

Although this result made Su Xiao a bit disappointed, it was a helpless matter.

The next things were much simpler: buy a purple sword-type weapon with weaker attributes, and improve Zhan Long Shan's quality first.

The rating of 【Curved Claw Blade】 was relatively high, and it could at least improve Zhan Long Shan's sharpness to over 90%.

Su Xiao still had 157,250 Paradise Coins. 150,000 Paradise Coins were enough to improve Zhan Long Shan and strengthen it.

Arriving at the Trading Market, Su Xiao began to look for purple sword-type weapons with lower ratings in the Trading Market. After searching for a long time, a stall attracted his attention.

This stall was surrounded by Contractors. Su Xiao squeezed to the front. The stall owner was a masked man, who was negotiating something with a Some Qiyuezhe.

"Maximum 200,000 Paradise Coins, not a cent more."

"Are you dreaming? You're offering 200,000 Paradise Coins for a Paramecia-type fruit?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. It seemed they were selling a Devil Fruit, and it was a Paramecia-type.

Checking the Devil Fruit on the stall, it was the Paramecia-type Clear-Clear Fruit, a fruit of one of Gecko Moria's subordinates. Su Xiao didn't remember the specific name, only remembering that the guy seemed to have peeked at Nami taking a bath.

Su Xiao had no interest in Devil Fruits; he had also sold one before.

Searching on the stall, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's mouth. He had found the 'target', a very trashy purple sword-type weapon.

After searching for over two hours, he finally found a suitable purple quality weapon.

【Refined Steel Blade】

Origin: One Piece

Quality: Purple

Durability: 97/97

Attack Power: 27~37

Equipment Requirement: Strength 8+, Agility 12+.

Equipment Effect: Refined (Passive), tempered through a thousand hammers, not easy to break or damage.

Rating: 80

Introduction: A carefully crafted weapon, but the manufacturer's craftsmanship wasn't high enough, yet this blade was hard enough.

Price: 11,000 Paradise Coins

This blade wasn't sharp, and its attached ability was average. It became purple quality because it wasn't easy to damage, its durability was higher than Zhan Long Shan's, and its usage requirements were lower, making it suitable for newcomers.

An awkward problem arose: newcomers couldn't afford this blade, and the stall owner had marked it at 30,000 Paradise Coins.

The true value of equipment didn't just depend on quality, but on various attributes.

For example, 【Fate Redemption】; if he took it out to sell, exchanging it for a dark purple quality piece of equipment wouldn't be a problem.

The stall owner and the Some Qiyuezhe were arguing more and more fiercely. The Some Qiyuezhe stated: Observation Haki is the nemesis of the Clear-Clear Fruit, so the value of this fruit wasn't high.

The stall owner was helpless and said directly: 'Buy it if you want, get lost if you don't.'

The transaction was happily broken off by the two, and Su Xiao spoke.

"Make this blade cheaper."

Although the stall owner remained calm on the surface, he was secretly happy inside. Finally, someone was interested in this broken blade. This blade hadn't been obtained at the same time as the Devil Fruit, but he had obtained it 5 Derived Worlds ago.

"30,000 is already very cheap. This is, after all, a purple quality..."

Su Xiao waved his hand.

"To be honest, this is the trashiest purple weapon I've ever seen, bar none."

The stall owner smiled bitterly. Although he tried his best to explain, he agreed with Su Xiao's thought in his heart.

"Then make an offer."

"12,000 Paradise Coins."

The stall owner's mouth twitched. He could sell this blade to Reincarnation Paradise for 11,000 Paradise Coins.

"20,000, can't go any lower."

Perhaps it was because this blade had been stuck in his hands for too long, or because the stall owner didn't use blades, so he directly lowered the price by one-third.

Su Xiao stopped bargaining and directly spent 20,000 Paradise Coins to buy the blade.

With the purple weapon in hand, Su Xiao returned to his exclusive room. It was best not to let outsiders see the Supreme Sharpness ability.

Placing Zhan Long Shan and the two purple weapons together, black ghostly light flickered in Su Xiao's hand, wrapping the two purple weapons.

Crack, crack, crack~

The two purple weapons were instantly crushed, and purple crystal fragments drifted out, gradually being absorbed by Zhan Long Shan.

The purple crystal fragments merged into the blade, and the purple glow at the edge of Zhan Long Shan became deeper and darker.

The purple glow wrapped around Zhan Long Shan. Su Xiao knew this was a sign that Zhan Long Shan was about to be promoted to dark purple quality, which would take some time.

Half an hour later, the purple glow gradually faded, and Zhan Long Shan appeared before his eyes.

A flash of purple light passed over the edge of Zhan Long Shan. Su Xiao nodded with satisfaction, then shook his head.

The sharpness +2 attribute attached to Zhan Long Shan +8 had disappeared, and the strengthening level had dropped to +7.

Even so, Zhan Long Shan was much sharper than before. If he were to fight the Dark King with the current Zhan Long Shan, although ordinary slashes couldn't sever the other party's limbs, it would definitely be no problem to slash out wounds deep enough to reach the bone.

【Do you wish to replace Shadow Dance Break (Passive)?】

The attached abilities of the two purple weapons appeared, and Su Xiao could choose one of them to replace the Shadow Dance Break ability.

He chose no. Shadow Dance Break both reduced defense and could reduce the enemy's healing amount, making it a very practical ability.

Su Xiao checked the attributes of Zhan Long Shan.
