The edge of the sword was enshrouded in a dazzling light, like a blood-red rainbow. Ghastly runes floated on the blade of the sword, and ghosts circled around the sword. Holding the sword hilt, he felt a bone-chilling energy enter his body, and his spirit was lifted. It was obvious that the power of this sword was far above the Ghost Ice Soul!
I waved my hand over the item, and its stats appeared in a slideshow. The two girls' mouths fell open in shock. [Miracle Purgatory Sword] (Dark Gold – grade?
Attack: 250 ~ 475, Strength: + 55, Stamina: + 48, Passive: Increases user's Attack by 17%. Passive: Increases splash damage by 20%. Property: Level Requirement Reduced by 10. Outstanding Property: 5% chance to trigger Purgatory Slash and deal massive damage to the target in front of you. Level Requirement: 80...
A moment later, Lin Yixin pursed her lips and murmured, "I thought the official information about Outstanding equipment was just a joke. I didn't expect such a powerful item to actually exist …"
Murong Mingyue was puzzled. "What do you mean by Outstanding equipment?"
Lin Yixin smiled and explained, "It's simple. Common equipment can only be categorized into Common, Dark Gold – grade, Gold – grade, and so on. However, weapons of the same type sometimes have an extremely low chance to gain an Outstanding property. If a weapon becomes an Outstanding weapon, its stats will be 10% to 50% stronger than a common weapon. Everyone else, just look at it normally!"
Then, she pointed at the Miracle Purgatory Sword in my hand and said, "Look, Lu Chen's sword is 3-star Outstanding. It deals 30% more damage than a Level 80 Dark Gold – grade weapon of the same level, and 50% more damage if it's a 5-star Outstanding weapon. That kind of weapon is absolutely OP and extremely hard to drop. Moreover, the strongest thing about an Outstanding weapon isn't its stats, but its Outstanding property!"
I looked at the sword in my hand in astonishment. "Yiyi, you're talking about this 5% chance to trigger Purgatory Slash, right?"
"Yes!"
Lin Yixin nodded. "It's obvious that this is an AoE skill. Its attack power is in no way inferior to your Thousand Mirage Slash. Whether it's leveling or PvP, this Outstanding stat can produce unimaginable results!"
"Fuck, Yiyi, you really know a lot. You're practically my Heavenblessed encyclopedia …"
"Come on, it's time for you to treat me to a meal!"
Lin Yixin put her hands on her hips and huffed angrily, "Uuuu, I can't believe a three-star Outstanding weapon dropped. How should I look down on you …"
Murong Mingyue giggled. "Alright, this weapon also has a 10 level requirement reduction property. Lu Chen, can you equip it now?"
"En!"
After confirming the equipment, I switched out the Ghost Ice Soul for the Purgatory Sword with a click. My Attack instantly skyrocketed, and my stats changed drastically — ID: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, Class: Undead Swordsman (Silver Swordsman) Level: 72 HP: 3590 Attack: 640 ~ 1120 Defense: 780 Magic Resist: 562 Reputation: 39850 Luck: 3...
My Attack was now above 1100, and with all the other bonuses, my actual Attack should be above 1500. The Purgatory Sword alone added 17% Attack, which was heaven-defying. Everyone else:!
I felt great inside. A 3-star Outstanding weapon was enough for me to grind until I reached Level 100. In fact, I wouldn't even need to change weapons until I reached Level 120.
I summoned the Dark Wasp, and Lin Yixin was surprised. "Why did you summon a pet when the fight was over?"
"Test the blade!"
I said lightly, raised my sword and slashed at the Dark Wasp's head. Immediately, a huge damage number appeared — 2184!
Fuck, a normal attack almost one-shot the Dark Wasp?!!
On one hand, the Dark Wasp couldn't keep up with the requirements, and on the other, this 3-star Outstanding weapon was too strong!
Lin Yixin and Murong Mingyue expressed their disdain at my heartless behavior. "I don't know what sin I committed to be his pet..."
I chuckled and said, "There's still equipment, right?
Sister Mingyue, keep looting, and try to get something hard, hahahaha! "
Murong Mingyue glared at me and went to loot again. Soon, a pair of glowing war boots appeared in Murong Mingyue's hands. She waved her hand, and the stats appeared — [Death Shade War Boots] (Dark Gold – grade) Defense: 170, Magic Resist: 125, Strength: + 42, Agility: + 39, Passive: Increases user's movement speed by 4%. Level Requirement: 70...
Hmm, it's a good pair of boots. Both Defense and Magic Resist are greatly increased, and it also adds 4% movement speed. This is too precious. Ordinary boots that can add 1% movement speed are already amazing, but these boots add 4% movement speed. This means that in the process of chasing and escaping, you will be faster than others. Of the thirty-six stratagems, running is the best. Running fast is more useful than anything else!
Looking at the war boots, Murong Mingyue asked, "Which one of you wants it?"
I looked down at Lin Yixin's boots, my gaze moving up involuntarily, along her long legs. The little beauty said murderously, "What are you looking at?"
"What grade are your boots?"
"Level 70 Gold-grade. Why?"
"Oh, the Death Shade War Boots are mine now. Mine is Level 45 Silver-grade. Everyone else, just look at it normally!"
"..."
Lin Yixin rolled her eyes at me. "Fine, take it ~ ~"
I excitedly took the Dark Gold – grade boots and put them on. My Defense and Magic Resist increased greatly, and more importantly, I could run faster!
Very good, my Defense had reached 900. Dark Gold – grade armor really was awesome. Now that I had the Flame Dragon Gauntlets, Death Shade War Boots, Purgatory War Armor, Purgatory Helmet, and Miracle Purgatory Sword, I was the king of equipment in Floating Ice City. In terms of stats, no one was a match for me. In terms of mechanics, yes, probably only the Fruit Knife Goddess could pose a threat to me. Now it was time to conquer the land and become king!
At this time, Murong Mingyue took out a Level 75 Dark Steel – grade cape. I was ignored.
After that, Murong Mingyue let out a cry, her beautiful face full of shock.
"What is it, sis?" I teased. "Did you touch... that thing?"
"No, I touched this..."
Murong Mingyue pulled back her hand, a purple-red skill book in her palm. She said with a smile, "It seems that Lu Chen really is treating everyone to a meal this time!"
"What is it?" Looking at the light of the skill book, my heart started to race.
Murong Mingyue smiled and touched it. The skill book's stats jumped in front of us. Immediately, both Lin Yixin and I were petrified — [Tenacity of the Dead]: The undead struggling in purgatory possess strong willpower. With the help of a mysterious curse, they can sacrifice 50% of their MP to instantly recover 25% of their HP. Class Requirement: Warrior, Magic Knight, Wanderer. Race Requirement: Undead, Dark Elf, Dark Beastman. Level Requirement: 70.
… …
"Fuck, Tenacity of the Dead..." My throat tightened, and I swallowed a mouthful of saliva. My heart felt like it was going to stop. Instantly recovering 25% HP, wasn't it too powerful?
Also, the price was only 50% of their max MP. This was too simple. Warriors had pitifully low MP to begin with, and a Rank 5 Magic Consumable could fill them up. The side effects of this Tenacity of the Dead were even more negligible!
Clearly, with Tenacity of the Dead, I was truly undying!
I accepted the skill book, my expression unprecedentedly serious.
"What are you thinking, not learning?" Lin Yixin looked at me with a smile.
I nodded and said, "Nothing, I just want to thank Guo Jia in my heart before learning!"
"Fuck!!!"
With a whoosh, the skill book disappeared, and a new skill appeared in my skill window — [Tenacity of the Dead]: The undead struggling in purgatory possess strong willpower. With the help of a mysterious curse, you can sacrifice 50% of your MP to instantly recover 25% HP. Cooldown: 120 seconds. Can only be used when your HP is below 50%.
There was another restriction. You must be below 50% HP. Yes, this restriction was reasonable. This meant that this Tenacity of the Dead was not invincible. When my HP fell below 50%, as long as the enemy was strong enough, they could instantly take out half of my HP. Tenacity of the Dead was a fleeting skill.
What I needed to do was to increase my HP so that others wouldn't be able to one-shot me. That way, I wouldn't die. A cooldown of two minutes wasn't bad. In a sense, I could almost solo a Dark Gold Rank boss of the same level. Haha, my solo training journey was about to begin. Fans of the book also loved to read: "!"
I looked down at Murong Mingyue and asked, "Anything else?"
"And stones..."
Murong Mingyue moved the boss's leg away and saw that the ground was covered in all kinds of gems, Big Magic Stones, Phantasmal Magic Stones, and even the legendary Purple Crystal!
After the stones were distributed, the mission was complete. It was time to disperse!
I took out a return scroll and said, "Let's go!"
"Yes!" The two girls nodded.
In the next moment, I appeared in Floating Ice City and went to repair my equipment.
I looked at my level. Level 72. There was no hurry to level up. My goal was to be in the Top 5 of Floating Ice City's Heavenly Ranking. There was no need to fight for first place. Lin Yixin had the same thoughts as me, but she was still pushed to first place by fate. For a time, she was in great pain and couldn't help but complain that Dominating Heaven Blade's leveling speed was not good enough. In reality, Dominating Heaven Blade was very diligent. He was just killed by us in Devil Spirit Hall.
Basically, the Devil Spirit Hall map had come to an end. Although it would open once a day, it would only respawn after the boss was killed half a month later. This meant that if we entered Devil Spirit Hall tomorrow, we would just be farming experience. There would be no Divine Martial Token. The first Divine Martial Token was just a gimmick.
… …
And so, I sat on the steps of Floating Ice City's Holy Hall, the Outstanding Purgatory Sword leaning against me. I summoned the forums and uploaded the video of me teaming up with the Fruit Knife Goddess to kill the four War Gods of Candle Dragon. The title of the post was big — God's Dance, Blue Sky Scar, Tempest Shadow, Transient Smoke and Clouds. The four War Gods descended on Floating Ice City. Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand and Wind Fantasy worked together to defend the dignity of Floating Ice City!
