Chapter 65: The Great Sweep (2)

Bloodstained Dagger:

Level: Grade 1. (Upgradable three times in total, already upgraded three times)

Attributes: Attack power increases by 999 points, maximum health increases by 2000 points!

Unique Effect: When the dagger is stained with blood, it will increase attack power by 100 points, stacking up to a maximum of three times.

Note: Special effects cannot overlap with abilities that involve leeching health. If you possess skills that leech health, each attack will reduce your attack power by 100 points and your maximum life by 600 points. This reduction can occur a maximum of three times.

Lu Yu’s short sword passed through the hands of many people, and each person who examined it became utterly astonished.

“This is the maximum attack power enhancement for a Level 1 star soldier.”

“Heaven, am I seeing this right? It can actually stack attack power three more times. That means the maximum attack power can reach 1,300 points.”

“Damn it, if I can’t suck blood, then fine, but with this attack power, I could kill a魔人猿 in one second,” someone shouted in amazement.

The crowd erupted into a frenzy.

I finally understand why Chen Zhenglong was shameless enough to want to claim this item for himself.

Even if this attribute were given to an ordinary person, they could still compete with the Black Demon Wolf, instantly transforming from a commoner into an expert.

Lu Yu has a vampire skill, so he couldn’t take this dagger. In his hands, the dagger would become useless instead.

But he didn’t want this dagger to appear in Fanggang either, so the best solution was to arrange the transaction himself right here.

“Nobody move, first come first served. I was the one who proposed the deal, so I’m taking the dagger.” The first person who wanted to buy the dagger from Lu Yu snatched it back and counted out three hundred Star Spirit Stones from his backpack, handing them over to Lu Yu without hesitation.

The Wolf’s Tooth Blade is worth fifty Star Spirit Stones, and it’s already at its limit. Although an attack power of eight hundred and fifty seems high, to go any higher, even a hundred-point increase in attack power for a Star Soldier would be extremely difficult.

This weapon not only reaches the limit of a Grade 1 Star Weapon, but also adds an additional 300 attack power. Based on this alone, it is worth the price.

“This guy really profited. With this star weapon in exchange for three hundred stellar stones, he will be almost untouchable in his city.”

Chen Zhenglong was truly bitter, standing aside with his companion like a couple of fools, not even daring to let out a fart.

He disgraced himself all over the country.

Lu Yu sold his short sword, and the surrounding area quieted down a bit. Then, everyone continued their transactions.

People began to take a serious look at Lu Yu, trying to see through the face under the hat.

Because they really don’t know what kind of star weapon this person might have in hand, they even sell things like this.

The more unfathomable it is, the more cautious you should be.

It’s unnecessary. They are unwilling to come into conflict with Lu Yu.

The Hunting Magic Plains were still some time away from closing, and the items brought out by the crowd kept increasing, making the plains even more lively.

All the good things that I’ve had in my hands for a long time and was reluctant to sell have now been brought out.

Because here, and only here, could they exchange for Star Spirit Stones. As for exchanging for Star Spirit Beads, with their strength, it was only a matter of time before they could obtain as many as they desired.

Only the Star Spirit Stone needs time to be extracted.

Lu Yu bought the Blood Demon Bear’s Star Spirit Pearl from Canghai. Since it lacked the vampiric ability, it was instead another skill of the Blood Demon Bear—Wrath of Life.

He has always been eyeing this skill with envy.

During the intense battle, this skill can drive the enemy to collapse.

Of course, Lu Yu was genuinely surprised by the crowd gathered here.

Everyone held a large number of mutated Star Spirit Beads in their hands.

Lu Yu didn’t want others to realize the attribute of his Eye of Truth, so whenever he saw a useful skill, he would buy several of the nearby worthless mutated star spirit pearls along with it.

Anyway, skills also require the consumption of mutated Star Spirit Beads.

At four stalls, he collected all the skills of the Silver Armor.

This also means he can upgrade the Silver Armor to level two.

Even a Level 1 can nullify attacks below 1000!

What about the second level? What would it be like?

“What kind of monster’s soul soldier is this?” Lu Yu couldn’t help but ask when he saw a star-shaped soul gem emitting a brilliant blue glow in someone’s hand.

“This one should be at the same level as the Blood Demon Bear, but its power seems to be slightly stronger. Among our group of seven, four were severely injured, and one lost an arm before we finally managed to defeat it.” The owner handed the weapon soul to Lu Yu and said, “The monster’s attack power was ninety-nine thousand points when we obtained it—just ninety-nine points short of the limit for level one. I think you understand what such a creature represents!”

Lu Yu nodded, took it, glanced at it, and said, “Then why sell it? This kind of monster-drop Binghun—probably the Star Soldier formed from it won’t be worse than my short sword, right?”

“It can only be said that it might not be bad, but it could also potentially get worse. We’ve obtained several soldier souls from Blood Demon Bears, and although the resulting Star Soldiers we got were the same, the worst ones had attributes so poor they were literally trash, with attack power not even reaching fifty. Therefore, we believe that the attributes within the soldier souls are also variable. If you fuse a soldier soul and end up with a dud, then it’s literally worthless.”

As he spoke, the man laughed and said, “Considering we also need star spirit stones, what if we sell it in the form of a weapon soul? Wouldn’t the price be higher that way?”

“Good idea. You don’t like gambling, but I do. And I’ve had great luck lately—I’d like to give it a try,” Lu Yu said with a smile. “How many Star Spirits are you planning to sell?”

“Seventy yuan!”

“I’ll take it,” said Lu Yu, quickly taking out starling stones from his backpack to pay.

“Wait a second.” The other party suddenly hesitated: “So quick to agree? This is a gamble, after all. Even getting something with attributes as good as the Wolf’s Fang Blade is already quite fortunate. You really think it’s worth seventy Star Spirit Stones? Did you see something I didn’t?”

People who come here are not fools.

Of course, someone like Chen Zhenglong, who was obsessed with fame to the point of madness, also had his clever side.

“What you’ve fought for with your lives — if I think it’s worth buying, I will. If not, I can simply walk away. But I will never haggle over the price!” Lu Yu replied in a low, serious voice.

The other party was taken aback, then became deeply respectful, with slightly reddened eyes, saying solemnly, “You’re absolutely right. This is something he risked his life for, and it’s worth every bit of that price.”

He said as he stuffed the soul of the weapon into Lu Yu’s hand, “It belongs to you now. Regardless of whether you’ve figured anything out, just for what you said, selling it to you is not a loss for me.”

Lu Yu took over the soldier’s soul and continued walking past one stall after another.

He indeed saw what was inside the soldier’s soul, but he could not say it aloud.

But his words were equally sincere.

Because he had also been doubted by others before, and understood that feeling and anger!

Therefore, he doesn’t know how to haggle!

He felt it was worth it, and that was enough!

Although not everyone who comes here is necessarily a wealthy person, there are indeed many valuable items in their hands.

Along the way, there were many things that Lu Yu had his eye on.

However, considering my own circumstances, some skills are not really useful.

Finally, Lu Yu selected a mutated Star Spirit Pearl, and the time was up.

Lu Yu was transported out of the Demon Hunting Plains.

In his hand, he still had two hundred Star Spirits Stones, over ten thousand Star Spirit Beads, as well as the Soul of War and the Mutated Star Spirit Bead that he had purchased.

Returning to the mine, the corners of his mouth immediately lifted into a smile.

This time he went in, he made a huge profit.

Although there weren’t many good things, Lu Yu could guarantee that the soldier’s soul and the mutated star spirit pearl he brought back were the first and second best among them.

Especially the Soul of the Soldier, it’s definitely stronger than the Bloodstained Blade!

“Moreover, with ten thousand Star Spirit Beads, I can finally reach level two.”

Lu Yu let out a long sigh of relief and took out tens of thousands of Star Spirit Pearls.

He still has 86% progress left to reach level two. Based on the calculation that 1% requires seventy Star Spirit Beads, he would need a total of six thousand beads to advance to level two.

Lu Yu unceremoniously crushed the Star Spirit Beads in handfuls, watching streams of radiant light enter his body. The text before his eyes began to shift and change wildly.

“Murderous Star Soul activated, energy accumulation in progress. Still eighty percent away from leveling up the Murderous Star Soul to level two. Basic maximum life increased by 200 points, attack power increased by 150 points, physique increased by 140 points!”

“The Kill Star Soul has been activated, energy is being accumulated. It is still 50 percent away from reaching level two of the Kill Star Soul. Basic maximum life has increased by 200 points, attack power has increased by 150 points, and physique has increased by 140 points!”

The Star Soul Gem not only allows the Star Soul to evolve but also enhances the base attributes.

A large number of Spirit Star Beads disappeared, but Lu Yu did not feel the slightest regret.

He watched as the Murder Star Spirit drew closer to reaching level two, filled with anticipation and excitement.

At this rate, he could take on a Blood Demon Bear single-handedly. He might even be able to challenge monsters at the level one limit.

The basic attributes keep rising, bringing the Star Soul closer to level two.

Thirty percent…

Twenty percent…

At the moment the six thousandth Star Spirit Pearl was consumed, Lu Yu felt his Killing Star Soul inside his body pulsing violently.

Bang!

A deafening explosion erupted within his heart. The originally outstretched tendrils of his not-so-large star soul transformed into numerous black threads, each nearly an inch long, piercing into the walls of his heart.

Lu Yu’s heart ached as if it had been pierced by thousands of needles.

He could feel those black lines piercing into the myocardium and then merging with the heart.

The black line is turning red, and the star soul is also turning red.

Congratulations, your Killing Star Soul has been upgraded to level two.

By activating the power of the Star Soul, you will be able to merge your own strength with the Domain of Slaughter, enhancing the defensive capabilities of the Domain of Slaughter.

Defeating one hundred Demon Apes will activate the special effect of the Level 2 Slaughter Star Soul.

Each time you kill a Demon Ape, you will directly absorb the soul of the Demon Ape. These souls will become Evil Spirits that attach to your weapon, upgrading a piece of weaponry into a Level 2 Killing Star Weapon!

A series of reminders left Lu Yu speechless with astonishment.

“Did I see that right!”

The integration of Star Soul’s power and the Domain of Slaughter?

Does this mean that the skills of one’s own Murder Star Soul can be integrated into the domain?

My Level 1 skill of the Bloodthirsty Star Soul is indeed the Bloodthirsty Blade. In the future, whenever enemies are killed during an attack, the domain will automatically restore health points.

Just as Lu Yu was surprised, he heard a voice in his ear.

Murderous Star Soul: Level 2

Ability: Mutated Star Soul, which can only enhance the body’s basic attributes through killing, allowing one to surpass limits.

Obtained a secondary skill…
