Chapter 262: Chapter 72: The Divine Artifact of the Future (4th update, additional update for monthly votes)

The deep blue light faded after lasting for over ten minutes, all absorbed into the blade of Dragon Slash.

A flash of purple gleamed on the edge of Dragon Slash, making it resemble a long-established divine weapon, slender, straight, and sharp.

Su Xiao grasped the hilt of Dragon Slash, still the familiar sensation, which made him very satisfied.

...

The attributes of Dragon Slash experienced explosive improvement, with various capabilities undergoing leap-forward growth, which is the difference between purple weapons and blue weapons.

Su Xiao aimed the blade of Dragon Slash at himself, feeling a hair-raising sensation; if he were slashed in the head, it might be...

The terrifying sharpness made Su Xiao very satisfied. If he acquires a purple weapon that increases sharpness in the future, Dragon Slash will become even more formidable.

Su Xiao glanced at the remaining 22,947 Paradise coins, feeling a twinge of pain in his heart.

Dragon Slash is a growth weapon, a feature unmatched by any same-level weapon, but the cost of growth is high.

Thinking of the expensive price of purple weapons, Su Xiao felt a bit dizzy, and there are even higher grades above purple quality.

Perhaps one day he could cultivate Dragon Slash into a ’Divine Artifact,’ but the Paradise coins needed for that...

The future seemed bleak, so Su Xiao decided to enhance his skills first as he had many things to handle, such as improving the Blue Steel Shadow skill.

Su Xiao gained three small Soul Crystals this time.

Consuming three small Soul Crystals + 3,000 Paradise coins, Su Xiao raised Blue Steel Shadow by three levels.

[Blue Steel Shadow has been upgraded to Lv.5.]

[Blue Steel Shadow has been upgraded to Lv.6.]

[Blue Steel Shadow has been upgraded to Lv.7.]

When Blue Steel Shadow was upgraded to Lv.5, no reward appeared, indicating that the limit of Blue Steel Shadow is not Lv.10, which is very good news.

The energy of Blue Steel Shadow surged within him; if previously the energy was a small stream, it had now become a small river.

Blue Steel Shadow: Lv.7 (Active skill)

Usage condition: After activation (Blue Steel Shadow), Hunter consumes 4 Mana Value per minute, and it automatically shuts down when Mana Value falls below 1%.

Skill effect: After activation (Blue Steel Shadow), each close combat attack will eliminate 28 Mana Value from the enemy and cause the same value of true damage. The enemy will suffer intense pain from mana burn.

...

Mana consumption per minute increased by 1 point, but the effect of Blue Steel Shadow’s burning energy grew increasingly terrifying, nearly reaching 30 points.

With one strike, 28 Mana Value + equivalent true damage; to illustrate, typical close combat fighters have Mana Value between 50 to 100 points, rarely enhancing intelligence attributes, and equipment that increases Mana Value is scarce.

Take a tank with 100 Mana Value, for example: after the battle commences, Su Xiao only needs three strikes, afterward, the opponent can’t even use skills, only dumbly holding a shield while cursing Su Xiao inwardly.

After enhancing Blue Steel Shadow, Su Xiao took out the Flame of Luck (Green); he wasn’t going to open the box but to upgrade this piece of green equipment.

This green equipment is more important to Su Xiao than purple equipment; opening boxes largely depends on it,

[Favor of Son of Fate] appeared in his hand; it’s a gel-like substance that can upgrade white or green equipment by one grade.

Su Xiao inquired Reincarnation Paradise, even upgrading Flame of Luck to blue, the effect of Flame of Luck’s enhancement +7 wouldn’t disappear, no need to re-enhance, showing how precious [Favor of Son of Fate] is, after all, it’s a purple item.

Placing [Favor of Son of Fate] and [Flame of Luck] together, Reincarnation Paradise prompt appeared.

[Do you want to use ’Favor of Son of Fate’ on ’Flame of Luck (Green)’? After use, Flame of Luck will be upgraded to blue quality, accompanying abilities will be strengthened.]

Choosing to use, Su Xiao focused intently on Flame of Luck.

"Woof!"

A loud bark startled Su Xiao, it was Bu Bu, who was chewing dumbbells earlier and somehow came to his side without him noticing.

Looking at the pitiful dumbbell, several transparent holes appeared on the iron plate, not just simple tooth marks anymore.

"What, are you trying to tell me the dumbbell started it?"

Bubute Ni’s furry ears stood up, and it barked a few more times.

"Hungry?"

"Woof."

"Wait it out. Once I’m done with my business, I’ll take you out for a feast."

"Woof woof."

This silly dog actually learned to talk back.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at Bubotni with a grin, and Bubotni immediately calmed down, turning to continue gnawing on an iron biscuit, seemingly attempting to see if it could be eaten...

After ’dealing with’ Bubotni, Su Xiao turned his attention to the Flame of Luck. At this moment, the Flame of Luck was completely enveloped in a gelatinous substance, its internal structure gradually changing. It seemed it would take some more time to complete its upgrade.

Taking advantage of the Flame of Luck’s enhancement period, Su Xiao took out the [Bull Head Lord’s Arm Armor].

The [Bull Head Lord’s Arm Armor] is a bracer for the left arm. It can cover the entire forearm and hand, looking similar to the Knight King Arm Guard.

However, the [Bull Head Lord’s Arm Armor] is obviously more precise than the Knight King’s. When Su Xiao put on the [Bull Head Lord’s Arm Armor], the entire bracer contracted to fit snugly around his left forearm, wrapping it just right.

The [Bull Head Lord’s Arm Armor] is entirely crimson, with highly precise joints at the fingers and wrist. He tried moving his fingers and found it effortless and natural.

Even with the bracer on his left forearm, Su Xiao’s arm didn’t seem bulky. The material of the whole bracer isn’t thick, and its perfect streamline makes it exceptionally cool, with the sleeve down, it looked like he had a crimson metal hand.

Su Xiao then took out a wire wheel with the Boundary Line wrapped around it.

His idea was to combine the Bull Head Lord’s Arm Armor with the Boundary Line. If successful, this arm guard’s functionality would be more versatile, and he might be able to create a simplified version of the Cross Tail.

With the protection of the metal bracer, using the Boundary Line would become much easier, causing no harm to hands and with diverse usage methods.

When an idea comes, Su Xiao went for it. He put the still-enhancing Flame of Luck into storage space, stood up, and left the exclusive room. Bubotni quickly followed him, possibly thinking it was time to eat.

Combining the Bull Head Lord’s Arm Armor with the Boundary Line isn’t simple, as the Bull Head Lord’s Arm Armor is a piece of purple equipment, and the intermittent line’s overall capability isn’t bad either.

To achieve this, he could only find some specialized workers with high-level forging skills, those forging masters.

These people aren’t too hard to find, but Su Xiao just happened to know there’s a shop run by a forging master within the Reincarnation Paradise. He heard Xia mention it once when dining at her restaurant.

The shop is situated in a very secluded place. After turning in seven or eight directions and taking half an hour, Su Xiao found it, having gotten lost twice in the process.

It’s a low shop, unremarkable in appearance, with a wooden placard hanging in front, boldly stating.

"Minimum spending 5000 Paradise Coins here, paupers stay out."

Su Xiao was speechless for a moment but still stepped inside. Those with skills often have peculiar tempers, especially in forging.

"Not open today... Let me have a look at your knife."

An old man carrying an iron hammer approached. The old man, with bare muscular upper torso, wasn’t tall but seemed very sturdy. His exposed skin was reddish, a sign of long-term work under high temperatures.

The old man’s head was bald, not only bald but also without eyebrows, making his entire head look bald and fierce.

"No."

Su Xiao refused decisively; one should never let an outsider inspect their personal knife, that’s common sense.

"Let me take a look at this knife; if the cost is below 6000, I’ll do it for free."

The bald old man kept staring at Dragon Slash.

"The knife I can’t show you, but I can offer this."

Su Xiao took off the [Bull Head Lord’s Arm Armor] and tossed it to the bald old man.

"Purple bracer, not bad, let me see, tsk tsk, 15 points of strength boost, excellent!"

After checking the [Bull Head Lord’s Arm Armor] attributes, the bald old man looked satisfied, revealing his obsession with equipment.

"This bracer is already perfect. I can’t enhance it any further."

"I’m not looking to enhance it but to combine this Boundary Line with the bracer, without damaging the bracer’s original structure."

The bald old man nodded in understanding; it wasn’t difficult for him.

"Position."

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

"That’s not too hard, but you’ll need a new wire wheel, as the strength of your current one is inadequate. Plus, the labor cost is a total of 8000 Paradise Coins, no bargaining."

"Agreed, let’s sign a contract."

Su Xiao drafted a contract with the main content being: If the Bull Head Lord’s Arm Armor suffers damage, the bald old man must compensate for it at market price, which is exorbitant.

The bald old man, after confirming the contract was flawless, signed it readily, confident in his craftsmanship.

"Come back the day after tomorrow to pick it up."

With that, the bald old man headed toward a small workshop within the store, hospitality not a trait linked to him at all.

Su Xiao turned and left, heading straight to Xia’s restaurant, where Bubotni was already starving enough to roll its eyes.

Sitting in the restaurant Xia ran, the gentle cook Xia had already gone to the kitchen to busy herself.

The Flame of Luck still needed about an hour to complete its upgrade. Su Xiao’s heart was filled with anticipation for the changes the Flame of Luck might bring.
