Chapter 375: 375, [Sword Sheath Upgrades, Divine Fire Appears]

As time went on, a day and night just passed like that.

Lu Xun stayed inside the altar, waiting for the end of the Sword Sheath’s upgrade.

During the day, he would either be staring eye to eye with “The Sword Qi is Near”, or he would spend his time scrolling through the forum, reading the flamboyant posts made by jokester players.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t show these posts to others, nor could he share them. It was as if he was missing half the fun.

When he was bored, he would observe the three-eyed statue at the center of the altar and touch it all over from top to bottom.

The touch was quite satisfactory.

Of course, the main aim was to see if there were any mechanisms or any mysteries.

When his right hand touched the statue, he could feel a strand of power emanating from it — the “Primordial Power”!

From this, it’s clear that “Primordial Power” should be the core power of each altar.

This altar was shockingly large, much larger than ordinary altars. Therefore, there was an additional erect three-eyed statue and a significantly more abundant “Primordial Power” hidden within said statue.

Following the principle of sucking it dry as long as it doesn’t kill you, Lu Xun tried to guide the “Primordial Power” within the statue, but found that he couldn’t swallow it.

“It seems that unless I get another Dao Bead, it’s very difficult to upgrade the ‘Primordial Power’ Special Attribute Points,” he thought to himself.

“Never mind. Forget about the Primordial Power. Focus on dismantling the altar and acquiring Random Special Attribute Points, that’s the most important thing!” Lu Xun dismissed other thoughts and once again checked the Sword Sheath’s upgrade progress.

Half an hour later, the Sword Sheath’s upgrade had finally completed!

The black stream of energy produced by the Soul Devouring Flame had been completely absorbed by it, and the surrounding Spiritual Energy was no longer flowing into the Sword Sheath.

It floated silently in the air, its two ‘black cords’ become more lively, indicating that the instrument spirit had regained consciousness.

Lu Xun opened the equipment pane and checked the properties of the Sword Sheath.

“Grade: Superior Purple Level”!

As expected, the upgrade was successful!

This made Lu Xun overjoyed as this meant that all the basic attributes of the Sword Sheath had taken a great leap forward!

To put it into perspective, even that Divine Sword from One Sword Mountain, when damaged, is only a Superior Purple Level!

If this was his past life, Lu Xun wouldn’t have dared to dream this big. He didn’t dare to think about purple equipment, let alone superior purple equipment.

He turned his head and glanced at the Sword Sheath, which floated to his side, raised its ‘black cords’, and gently rubbed his backhand.

“The Sword Qi is Near” crowded over, wanting to be petted too.

The ‘black cord’ on the Sword Sheath was about to lash out at him as usual, but considering that it had run a great distance to rescue itself, it only lightly smacked it.

A bully cutie, little fists are going to punch you in the chest oh~

“My God, I’ve just been force-fed the lovey-dovey act of a sword and a sword sheath?!” Lu Xun detected a sour smell.

Ignoring their public displays of affection, he continued browsing the property description in the equipment pane.

What attracted his attention the most were the two special skills of the Sword Sheath — “Sword Sealing” and “Gather Qi”.

Both of these special attributes have received a 50% increase, and at the same time, a new additional effect has been added.

— “Divine Fire”!

Although he didn’t understand why the Sword Sheath got this additional effect called “Divine Fire” after swallowing the sparks remaining from the Soul Devouring Flame, this wasn’t the point he needed to focus on.

What he was more interested in, was the effect.

According to the property introduction, the effects are clear. For instance, the special skill “Sword Sealing”, can prevent the opponent’s weapon from being unsheathed, and even prevent it from being used, especially effective against swords.

With “Divine Fire”, not only can it prevent the opponent’s longsword from being unsheathed, but it can also cause it to sear while it is sealed!

As for “Gather Qi”, that’s even easier to understand. The Sword Qi that Lu Xun infuses into the Sword Sheath will have a minor effect of the Soul Devouring Flame.

A less exaggerated version of the Soul Devouring Flame, but as his level goes up, the power will become stronger and stronger.

Right now, when the Sword Qi unsheathes, it will come with a weakened version of the power of the Soul Devouring Flame!

“A major profit from this round!” Lu Xun cheered in his heart.

Thanks to the fire sent by the Second Priest!

He turned his head to look at the Sword Sheath, wanting to test its power, but instead saw a scene that hurt his eyes.

“The Sword Qi is Near” wanted to try out if the Sword Sheath could hold it after the upgrade and to see if it could experience the pleasure of returning to its sheath again.

But the Sword Sheath didn’t want it to try and was using its black cords to whip it.

“Cooee~~ How can you be so hasty!” Lu Xun looked at it with contempt.

I didn’t expect you to be like this, “The Sword Qi is Near”!
