Chapter 756: A History of Blood and Tears

Inside the exclusive room.

Su Xiao was checking the skill list; the Supreme Blade ability had completed its upgrade.

Skill 5

Supreme Blade: X+ (Active Skill).

Skill effect 1: Can use this skill to bind an initial weapon (Bound: Zhan Long Shan).

Tip: After binding the initial weapon, you will obtain two blank additional skill slots (1/2 used).

Tip: Once the initial weapon is bound, it cannot be changed. If the initial weapon is damaged, it can be repaired using the Supreme Blade skill. (Repair cost is determined based on the initial weapon's current quality)

Skill effect 2: Can sacrifice melee weapons. Successful sacrifice will obtain a certain amount of Blade Value based on the quality of the sacrificed weapon. When the Blade Value reaches 100%, the initial weapon quality increases.

Tip: The sacrificed weapon must be of the same quality as the initial weapon (i. e., Pale Gold quality).

Tip: The sacrificed weapon must be a melee weapon, and its cutting power must reach a certain value. The category of sacrificed melee weapons cannot differ too much from the initial weapon. (For example, swords, long daggers, long blades, short blades, etc., can all be sacrificed. Sacrificing long-blade weapons will obtain additional Blade Value, while other types of weapons will obtain slightly lower Blade Value).

Skill introduction: Do not be deceived by appearances; in the future, you will feel fortunate for forging this weapon.

The "Designate any skill level +1" rewarded by the hidden mission did not disappoint Su Xiao.

Although the Supreme Blade skill looked complicated, only two changes actually appeared: one was that the attachable skills +1, and the other was that the scope of devoured weapons was expanded. Now, the Zhan Long Shan could use Pale Gold melee weapons that met the requirements to increase Blade Value.

Although the scope was expanded, it still couldn't sacrifice weapons that were too different from the Zhan Long Shan. For example, it couldn't sacrifice war hammers, long spears, etc.

The expansion of the scope of weapons that could be sacrificed was undoubtedly good news. Long-blade weapons of the same quality were really too hard to find. If it were before, wanting to upgrade the Zhan Long Shan to Gold quality would require at least 4~6 Pale Gold long-blade weapons, which would be a life-taking cost.

The situation now had clearly improved. Supreme Blade could sacrifice weapons similar in type to the Zhan Long Shan. Swords, long daggers, and other weapons with cutting edges could all be sacrificed.

Of course, weapons like axes wouldn't work. Although that thing had a cutting edge, it was too different from long-blade weapons.

Although the expenditure was still not low, the difficulty of acquisition was clearly reduced. Su Xiao had experienced the feeling of having money but not being able to buy long-blade weapons more than once.

Overall, using melee weapons of the same level to upgrade the Zhan Long Shan was much cheaper than buying a long-blade weapon with similar attributes.

If the Zhan Long Shan could be upgraded to Gold quality, the Gold weapons with similar attributes would be so expensive that Su Xiao would doubt life. Moreover, the sacrificed weapons had a characteristic, which was that the attack power far exceeded weapons of the same level. Now, the Pale Gold quality Zhan Long Shan and the Gold short blade Slaughter had similar attack power, which was a full grade difference. If other contractors knew this, they would definitely come to kill and seize the treasure.

Su Xiao took out the Zhan Long Shan and checked the attributes of the Zhan Long Shan. Sure enough, a new attribute appeared on the Zhan Long Shan.

Supreme Blade effect 3: (No skill attached).

The original Zhan Long Shan had two "Supreme Blade effects." The first one could not be changed and would continuously increase sharpness as the Zhan Long Shan's quality improved.

The second one could seize the skills of the devoured weapons and could be replaced. Now the skill on it was Wan Renzong (Passive), which increased sharpness, and after severing the enemy's limbs, the enemy could not recover by conventional means.

As for Supreme Blade effect 3, this ability was very interesting. It was different from "Supreme Blade effect 2." It didn't seize skills from the devoured weapons, but formed skills based on Su Xiao's combat style.

To be precise, there would temporarily be no skills on Supreme Blade effect 3. When the Zhan Long Shan upgraded its quality next time, a skill would appear on Supreme Blade effect 3, and this skill would be formed based on Su Xiao's combat style.

Not only that, every time the Zhan Long Shan upgraded, Supreme Blade effect 3 would change. Su Xiao didn't know what the specific attributes would be then. What could be determined was that the higher the quality of the Zhan Long Shan, the stronger the effect of this skill, and the more suitable it would be for Su Xiao.

Overall, this upgrade to Supreme Blade didn't immediately strengthen the Zhan Long Shan, but it increased the growth speed and growth potential of the Zhan Long Shan, and reduced the resources consumed for growth.

Closing the skill list, Su Xiao checked the number of Soul Crystals.

【Soul Crystal (Medium) x4】

【Soul Crystal (Large) x1】

Now Su Xiao didn't have a high demand for Soul Crystals (Medium), but he wouldn't sell this thing. Soul Crystals had too many uses, and he didn't know when they would be used.

As for Soul Crystal (Large), this was used to upgrade the Lv. 30 Blade Mastery, which required one per level.

With Soul Crystal (Large), Su Xiao should have immediately upgraded Blade Mastery. The embarrassing thing was that his Paradise Coins were insufficient.

Upgrading Blade Mastery by one level required 100,000 Paradise Coins + one Soul Crystal (Large). Now there were only 46,430 Paradise Coins in the Reincarnation Mark.

The attribute points and equipment harvested in the Holy Grail world were not few, but not many Paradise Coins were obtained.

Su Xiao walked out of the exclusive room and headed straight to the trading market. He had two items that could be sold, which were 【Bull Head Lord's Arm Armor (Purple)】 and 【Hundred-Fold Proficiency (Pale Gold)】.

The Bull Head Lord's Arm Armor was easy to sell. If it weren't for the King's Imperial Honor arm armor, Su Xiao wouldn't sell this thing for the time being.

Equipment effect: Bull Head Lord's Fury (Active), after opening this skill, Strength +15 for 10 seconds.

Tip: Bull Head Lord's Fury (Active) cooldown is 10 natural days.

Tip: Opening Bull Head Lord's Fury (Active) requires consuming 30% of health.

Strength attribute temporarily +15 points, what a powerful and dazzling ability. If Su Xiao used this piece of equipment now, his strength attribute would reach 80 points from 72 points in an instant. This was not a calculation error. According to normal circumstances, after using Bull Head Lord's Fury (Active), his strength attribute should reach 87 points. I don't know why, but the strength attribute was stuck at 80 points and couldn't break through. This seemed to be a bottleneck, and Su Xiao couldn't break through this bottleneck yet.

Even if it could only reach 80 points, it was still exceptionally powerful, but the fact was not like this.

Opening Bull Head Lord's Fury (Active) required consuming 30% of health. This was not current health, but 30% of maximum health! In other words, if health was below 30%, opening this thing would directly lead to death, which could be called a kill effect, a suicide artifact.

Su Xiao had used Bull Head Lord's Fury (Active) many times. The principle of this thing was to convert blood into strength. After use, there were side effects. A large amount of blood burning would lead to short-term exhaustion after the strength bonus effect, and he would be very weak after the battle, requiring time to recover. Moreover, the skill cooldown was too long, and some derived worlds didn't even have a ten-day stay.

Speaking of it, it was all tears. Su Xiao had almost died on this piece of equipment several times. After that painful lesson, he rarely used this kind of ability.

Although there were many side effects, this unscrupulous piece of equipment only noted that it required consuming 30% of health, and the side effects after burning blood were not mentioned at all.

Precisely because of this, this thing was an artifact to fool rookies. Some first-tier and second-tier contractors didn't know about this 80-point hurdle, so it was even easier to fool them. ===== CHAPTER 757 =====
