Very good, I could reach Level 119 right after I turned in the quest. As expected of an SS Rank main quest. I might as well go all the way to Level 120. Everyone would be happy that way...
Sighing, he took out the empty bottle from his bag. It was filled with the blood of the Earth Lizard Dragon. Fans of the book loved to read:
He then flipped open the Earth Lizard Dragon's gigantic head. There was a pile of good stuff at the bottom, and among them was the legendary Purple Crystal. A single high-quality Purple Crystal could be sold for up to 1,000 gold coins, which was equivalent to 1,000 RMB. That was enough for a month's worth of meals with pork ribs and chicken thighs.
… …
There were four pieces of equipment in total. They were glowing with rainbow-colored light, and I was certain that there had to be an Outstanding item among them. In fact, with my 22 Luck, it was normal for there to be an Outstanding item among them. It would be strange if I didn't.
There was a pair of black leg guards that were covered with jagged dragon blades. They were very dignified and cold. There was also a shining longsword with a transparent and resplendent edge that was surrounded by tiny wind blades. There were runes floating on the surface of the sword. One look and you could tell that it was not an ordinary item. The third item was a pair of leather armor that was suffused with a dim light. The last item was surprisingly the rarest one to drop. It was a ring!
I couldn't help but feel nervous. There had to be a lot of Spirit-grade equipment among them!
First, I picked up the black metal legguards and waved my hand over them. The armor's stats screen appeared in front of me. It was incredibly shocking — [Battle Soul Legguards] (Outstanding ★ ★ ★ ★ ★)
Defense: 495, Magic Resist: 420, Strength: + 125, Stamina: + 120, Tactics: + 24, Passive: Increases user's Attack by 15%. Passive: Increases user's max HP by 1500. Outstanding Property: Iron Wall. Increases user's Defense by 18%. Slots: 3. Level Requirement: 120...
Holy shit, a 4-star Outstanding Spirit-grade legguard. I'm rich. Everyone else: Wow!
My eyes almost popped out of my head. I didn't think that legguards could have such powerful stats. Not only did they provide a super high stat bonus, they also increased Attack by 15%, Defense by 18%, and max HP by 1500. Attack, Defense, and HP were all added. These legguards shouldn't be called Battle Soul Legguards, they should be called King Legguards...
I put all the good items that I could equip at Level 120 into my bag. I definitely wouldn't give the good ones away. I would keep them for myself. I wasn't far from Level 120 anyway.
The second piece of equipment was a translucent longsword. It looked like it was of a pretty high rank. Could it possibly surpass my Heaven-stealing Sword?
With a wave of his hand, the stats of the sword appeared in front of him — [Whirlwind].
Attack: 600 ~ 845, Strength: + 110, Stamina: + 124, Tactics: + 19, Additional: Increases user's Attack by 35%. Additional: Increases splash damage by 20%. Property: Increases the Attack of wind-type skills by 50%. Slots: 3. Outstanding Property: When attacking a target, there is a 10% chance to trigger a cyclone, strangling all enemies within a 10-10 yard radius. Level Requirement: 120
A whirlwind!
The legendary Whirlwind Sword?
My eyes lit up. At first, I thought that the rumors on the forums were fake. I hadn't expected the legendary Whirlwind Sword to actually exist, and I was lucky enough to get a top-tier 4-star Outstanding Whirlwind Sword!
Not long after, a rumor spread on the forums that an Eternal Moon employee in the UK server had leaked a secret and revealed the signature weapons of every Level 120 class.
The Whirlwind Sword was the signature weapon of a Level 120 wanderer. It was a Spirit-grade weapon with the same base damage and stat bonus, but it was divided into different grades. I was lucky enough to get a 4-star Outstanding Whirlwind Sword, the weakest of the bunch. It only increased Attack and stat bonus, nothing else. Therefore, the one in my hands could only be called the best in the world.
At this stage of the game, the Whirlwind Sword was a divine weapon for wanderers. If a warrior wielded the Whirlwind Sword, they would become a godlike warrior. There was no doubt about that!
The other Level 120 signature weapon of a warrior was a battle axe called "Invincible". Its stats were unknown because no one had gotten it yet. A magic knight's weapon was a spear called "Rainbow". An assassin's weapon was a dagger called "Heartless". An archer's weapon was a longbow called "Thunder". A mage's weapon was a scepter called "God Bone". A tactician's weapon was a fan called "Strategical". A bard's weapon was a flute called "Water Bamboo". As for the rest of the book's readers, there was nothing to be surprised about.
Whirlwind, Invincible, and Rainbow boosted Attack and Defense. Heartless boosted Defense Penetration. Thunder boosted ranged damage. God Bone boosted magic damage. Strategical not only boosted Tactics, but it also boosted the effects of stratagems. As for Water Bamboo, it boosted the effects of a bard's buff skills by 50%.
The moment the Whirlwind Sword appeared, the world would enter the era of famous weapons. Many high-level players would pursue a Level 120 Spirit-grade weapon of their own class.
… …
I looked at the Whirlwind in my hand. Hmm, it was a wanderer's weapon, but it didn't really matter. All melee players could use it, and it was a lot weaker than my Heaven-stealing Sword. I could only give it to someone else. It wouldn't be appropriate to give it to Lin Yixin, and the girls of the Frost Cloud workshop would feel embarrassed if I gave it to her. In the end, I decided to give it to He Yi. Her Soul Stealing Spear was no longer able to keep up with her usage requirements, and she had a mount now. A sword-type weapon would do far more damage than a spear.
After I made up my mind, I tossed Whirlwind into my bag and looked at the third item. It was a leather wristguard that glowed with a dark light — [Dark Silver Wristguards] (Purple Gold – grade, Outstanding ★ ★)
Defense: 270, Magic Resist: 245, Agility: + 104, Stamina: + 100 Passive: Increases user's hit rate by 25%. Outstanding Property: Increases user's Agility by 120. Level Requirement: 120...
Mn, this was a very good leather wristguard. It increased hit rate by 25%, which was very important for an archer who prioritized accuracy over anything else. I should just give it to Beiming Xue later.
The last item was a ring that shone brilliantly. It was made of black metal, and the image of a dark red dragon's head was engraved on it. I could faintly hear the roar of a dragon coming from it, and a chill seeped into my palm. It was obvious how powerful this ring was — [Silver Dragon Ring] (Spirit-grade, Outstanding ★ ★ ★ ★ ★)
Strength: + 125, Stamina: + 130, Tactics: + 25 Passive: Increases user's Attack and Defense by 20%. Passive: Increases user's Ice and Fire Magic Resistance by 40%. Outstanding Property: When attacking a target, there is a small chance to trigger Silver Dragon Storm. Level Requirement: 120 Reputation Requirement: 70000...
"Buzz! Fans of the book also like to read:!"
My mind went completely blank for a long time before I came back to my senses.
Fuck!
What a 5-star Outstanding Spirit-grade ring! Not only did it increase Strength and Stamina by more than 120, it also increased user's Attack and Defense by 20%, and it even had a chance to trigger Silver Dragon Storm?
There was no doubt that this Silver Dragon Storm was a very powerful passive skill. The only thing I didn't know was its range and effect.
I couldn't help but feel pleased inside. Killing this Earth Lizard Dragon had been the right decision. It had given me two useful pieces of equipment. One was the 4-star Outstanding Spirit-grade Battle Soul Poleyn, and the other was the 5-star Outstanding Spirit-grade Silver Dragon Ring. Once I reached Level 120 and equipped these two items, my strength would definitely rise to a whole new level!
I continued to browse through the pile of high-rank gems. To my surprise, there was a skill book glowing with a devilish purple light. Upon closer inspection, I realized that it was a stratagem skill book. Tsk tsk, I've struck gold again — [Encourage (Rank VII)]: Beseech the power of the general and increase the Attack of all party members around you by 20%. Tactics Requirement: 100. Class Requirement: All. Cost: 2000 Reputation.
… …
It was a very good stratagem. As far as I could remember, the highest Encourage I could get was Rank 7. A 20% increase in Attack wasn't the slightest bit inferior to some Famous General Skills. Tempest Shadow's Resolute only increased Attack by 25%, so one could only imagine how valuable this tome was!
Hmm, this skill book was perfect for players whose Famous General Skills didn't increase Attack. Purple Marquis's Famous General Skill was Insight, but he couldn't use it to kill mobs. Even if he could increase his Attack by 40% with Encourage VII, it was still better than nothing!
That being said, there was no way I was going to give such a valuable skill book away. Let's wait for someone from Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls to come up with a Famous General Skill that didn't increase Attack.
I glanced at the gems scattered on the ground. There were two Convenience Gems, Cyanfire Gems, and Dragonstone Gems among them. I swept them all into my bag and checked the time. It was almost 9 am, and Beiming Xue was probably getting impatient.
I was just as anxious as I was, so I cut off the Earth Lizard Dragon's head. I could take it back to Sky City and claim the reward!
As for the Earth Lizard Dragon's body, it vanished after I looted a few pieces of high-rank dragon skin from Death Plunder. The dragon's blood, oil, and everything else had turned to dust.
I hurriedly exited the dragon's cave and brought the bottle of dragon blood to Dragon Knight Tia. Tia was moaning softly from afar because the wound on her chest was being invaded by deadly poison. The green dragon was licking the wound for its master with its long tongue.
"Crack … Crack …"
I walked up to Tia and took out the bottle of dragon blood from my bag. "Tia, I brought back the Earth Lizard Dragon's blood. Can you see if it can cure the poison?"
"Ah?"
Tia's eyes were filled with pleasant surprise. She smiled and said, "This is great! You didn't disappoint me! You really did kill that ferocious Earth Lizard Dragon!"
As she spoke, Yati received the dragon blood and poured it on the wound. Immediately, the black wound gradually regained its color. Evidently, the dragon blood was indeed able to cure the poison.
… …
Tia held onto her dragon spear as she struggled to her feet. She looked at me with a grateful smile and said, "Young and brave warrior, it is thanks to you that I was able to regain my strength. Come, this is your reward. May the glory of the Silver Moon Alliance be with you forever …"
