Chapter 76 – Refining A Tang Blade (1/2)
Chapter 76 – Refining A Tang Blade
The killing rate of Ghost Dragon was much higher than Optimus Prime and the others.
The only sentence to describe it would be: Wherever it went, not a blade of grass would regrow!
Even though those words were a bit of an exaggeration, Ghost Dragon’s fighting ability was indeed quite high. Especially when it came to his defensive properties; a rank 3 demonic beast wasn’t able to break past it at all.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player…”
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player…”
The system alerts came beeping in his mind non-stop. His experience points and profound energy points were all increasing rapidly. Luo Tian then excitedly said to himself: “Sure enough, it didn’t let me down.”
The construction blueprint of Ghost Dragon came from an online novel.
Back then when he read that novel, Luo Tian imagined how awesome it would be to have such a flashy Ghost Dragon under his command.
Never did he imagine that he could successfully create it.
Although it wasn’t as powerful as the one in the novel, Luo Tian felt that one day he would be able to create a rank 10 Ghost Dragon at the great perfection stage.
How terrifying would the fighting ability of a rank 10 Ghost Dragon be like? Just thinking about it made him extremely excited.
Luo Tian glanced up at the dark sky and realized it was still a long time from dawn. He was in thought for a while before taking out the leftover demonic beast bones from the spatial plaque.
There were still about several hundred jins of demonic beast bones.
After thinking about how that fatty’s machete was shattered, Luo Tian was wondering if he could refine another one for him using the demonic beast bones.
Moreover…
It was about time to level up his refining weapon technique.
Since the Song family had gifted them so many Grade 1 weapons, Luo Tian was thinking of repaying the favor with his own refined weapons.
Refining required a furnace, profound energy to drive the flames, the item form to freely flow, and continuous striking and quenching. One cannot relax even for even a single second.
And this was only the basics.
If one wanted to refine high-grade weapons, superior materials must be used.
Upon adding some spiritual treasures naturally formed by nature, the weapon’s power will greatly improve once the fusion succeeds. But these so called natural oddities were extremely precious so even they were available, people would not use them to refine weapons. The reason being that if one were to fail, the natural oddity will be gone as well.
Also, refining natural oddities consumed a lot of profound energy and spiritual power; a matter that was extremely difficult to accomplish. In the entire continent, there weren’t many Weapon Refining Masters that were capable of doing it.
Luo Tian didn’t think of these issues.
Moreover…
Not mentioning refining natural oddities, Luo Tian’s current proficiency rating made it that refining demonic beast bones was already an extremely difficult task.
But…
He was different from your typical Weapon Refining Master.
Luo Tian wasn’t trying to succeed in refining a weapon; he was just planning on raising his proficiency!
This was his true strength! He didn’t need to contemplate things and didn’t have to figure out how to get insights to make breakthroughs. Luo Tian only had to raise his proficiency level – it’s as simple as that!
Luo Tian didn’t even use a furnace and just went out to get some dry branches.
After starting the fire, he released his profound energy as a catalyst and caused the yellow flames to become blue. The heat of the flames had now reached very high degree!
Luo Tian’s left hand tossed out a piece of bone, and then instilled his will into it before activating his weapon refining technique.
His profound energy dropped by 100 points.
“Ding!”
“Weapon refining failed, proficiency value +1.”
“As expected!”
“Just what I expected, as long as I make an attempt at refining, the proficiency value will increase.” Luo Tian said to himself. He then waited for the thirty second cool down period before starting to refine again.
Thirty seconds each time!
This was unheard of by anyone in the continent! The increase in proficiency rating wasn’t considered fast because Luo Tian kept failing. But if he manages to succeed in a refinement, the proficiency might double or triple the fail amount.
Luo Tian wasn’t in a hurry.
Since the night was long and he didn’t want to sleep, he might as well practice like crazy.
This reminded him of his previous life in Legend of Mir when he spent the entire night increasing his proficiency with Summon Shinsu. He was energetic throughout the night and the feeling was similar to right now.
“Ding!”
“Proficiency value +1.”
“Ding…”
Luo Tian continued training without stopping a single minute.
One can imagine the degree of fatigue when you haven’t slept for eight days and night. Luo Tian had the leveling system and was superior to others in many aspects, but he still persisted with his training.
