Chapter 501: The Most Wretched Purple Weapon
Right now, Dragon Flash was a purple sword with a 67% progress to the next quality. To upgrade to the dark purple quality, he needed to sacrifice at least two more purple swords.
But Su Xiao already had one purple sword with a score of 136 points, so now he only needed to buy another purple sword.
But before upgrading the Dragon Flash, Su Xiao wanted to strengthen this sword first.
The cost of strengthening purple-quality weapons was very different from the cost of upgrading dark purple-quality weapons.
All he could think of right now was that if the Dragon Flash became a dark purple sword, would its sharpness level eventually drop? Previously, when the Dragon Flash became a purple sword, its sharpening did not change in any way, but this did not mean that nothing would happen to the sharpening when moving from purple to dark purple level.
Su Xiao was more inclined to believe that the level of sharpening would most likely drop when Dragon Flash became a dark purple sword.
And that was quite normal. The cost of strengthening a blue and purple item was too different, not to mention the gap between strengthening a purple and dark purple item.
And when Su Xiao finally asked Rai about it and gave 500 coins for the answer, he got a very clear and unpleasant answer.
When Dragon Flash becomes a dark purple sword, its sharpening level will drop!
Although this answer disappointed Su Xiao a little, there was nothing he could do about it.
He needed to improve his sword anyway, so the first thing he decided to do was buy a weak sword for cheap.
Su Xiao currently had 157.250 coins in his hands, which was quite enough to power up the Dragon Flash.
After arriving at the shopping plaza, Su Xiao started looking for purple swords with low grades and poor attributes, and after searching for a long time, a stall caught his attention.
He was surrounded by contractors, causing Su Xiao to barely squeeze forward. The owner of the counter was a masked man who was negotiating something with the contractor.
— Maximum of 200,000 coins.
— Are you delusional? You want to buy a Hana Hana no Mi type fruit for 200,000 coins?
Hearing the conversation between the two, Su Xiao frowned.
This Hana Hana no Mi type fruit was eaten in the world of Van Pees by Nico Robin. Su Xiao didn't remember the specific strength of this fruit, but he did remember that it seemed to be quite strong.
Su Xiao wasn't interested in these fruits, however, the other item on this counter made Su Xiao smile.
He found what he was looking for — a very "good" purple sword!
After more than two hours of searching, he finally found a suitable purple-quality weapon!
[Improved Steel Sword.
Place of Origin: Van Pease.
Quality: Purple.
Endurance: 97/97.
Attack Power: 27~37.
Equipment Requirements: Strength 8; Agility 12.
Equipment effects: Sharpened, Tempered, and Improved. This sword is not easy to break or damage.
Rating: 80.
Description: A good, long-lasting sword created by an insufficiently skilled craftsman.
Price: 11.000 Paradise coins.]
This sword wasn't too sharp and didn't have any special skills. It only had a purple quality due to the fact that it wasn't easy to break and had very modest equipment requirements, making it very well suited for novice melee fighters.
However, a novice couldn't afford to buy this sword even for the price set by the stall owner - 30,000 Paradise coins.
The true value of things was not only in their color, but also in their attributes.
The dispute between the counter owner and the contractor became more and more bitter. The contractor tried to bring down the price of the fruit, and the owner tried to raise it, and in the end everything got to the point that they almost started fighting.
In the most heated moment of the argument, Su Xiao said:
— I'll buy this sword, but not for thirty thousand.
Although the stall owner didn't react at all, he was very happy in his heart.
Finally, someone liked this shabby sword... It was a sword he had obtained five entire derived worlds ago and in all that time no one had been interested in it.
— Thirty thousand is already a very small price, after all, it's a purple weapon...
Su Xiao waved his hand.
— With all due respect, this is the worst purple weapon I've ever seen.
The stall owner smiled and mentally agreed with Su Xiao's suggestion.
— Then make a counter-offer.
— Twelve thousand.
The corners of the counter owner's mouth twitched. He could sell this sword to Paradise for 11,000 coins...
— Twenty thousand, at least.
Due to the fact that he had already had this sword for too long, he decided to immediately give up a whole third of it.
Su Xiao didn't bargain and immediately bought it for 20,000 Paradise Coins.
With the purple sword in hand, Su Xiao returned to his exclusive space.
After taking out another purple sword from his inventory and removing Dragon Flash from its scabbard, Su Xiao activated the skill and the small tornado immediately absorbed the two purple weapons.
*Crack-crack-crack~*
The two purple weapons shattered into pieces in an instant, and soon, a stream of purple crystal shards floated out and began to be absorbed by the Dragon Flash.
The purple light on the Dragon Flash blade started to become richer and darker...
Soon, a bright light wrapped around the Dragon Flash, and Su Xiao realized that the Dragon Flash would need some time to advance to the next level.
Half an hour later, the light gradually receded, and a Flash of a dragon appeared in front of Su Xiao's eyes.
First of all, he decided to check the level of her sharpening and was satisfied — from +8 he fell to +7.
Even though the +8 sharpen effect was gone, the blade of the sword was still very sharp. If he were to use this sword to fight Minas, even though his normal strikes still wouldn't be able to cut off the demon's limbs, he would be able to reach the demon's bones without much trouble.
As for the replacement of sword skills, Su Xiao did not replace the current Dragon Flash skill, as there was no point in doing so.
Now the characteristics of Dragon Flash were as follows:
[Dragon Flash +7 (0%).
Origin: Shadow of the Law.
Quality: Dark Purple.
Endurance: 91/91 (+6).
Attack Power: 74~122 (+13~25).
Can only be used by: Heir to the Shadow of Law.

Price: Cannot be sold/exchanged.]
