Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

After looking at the four soul crystals (middle) neatly placed beside him, Xu Yue picked up one of them and said:

"Promote Master of Hundred Weapons."

[The current status of the hundred soldiers is: halberd, sword, shield. Please choose the direction of improvement. 】

"Well, no surprise."

As expected, there was no upgrade and all three benefits were benefited. Although the last trace of luck in his heart was eliminated, he was not much disappointed.

Being able to directly obtain multiple master-level techniques is already a very powerful effect. If it can also be improved simultaneously, it would be a bit too exaggerated.

The abilities he has shown so far are strong enough, and his multiple techniques allow him to adapt well to various combat environments, which is a great help.

The halberd is suitable for open areas, the tower shield is suitable for battlefield defense, and the magic knife is suitable for narrow and cramped places. In different environments, he can have countermeasures.

Of course, even if the number of techniques is expanded to three, the main direction of improvement can only be the halberd. This is the technique that best suits his temperament. Only by focusing on this path can he go the furthest.

"Improve the halberd technique."

[Upgrading Master of Hundred Weapons Halberd requires the consumption of soul crystal (medium) × 1, 6000 paradise coins, yes/no to upgrade. 】

The cost was several times higher than when he was specialized, but the master-level technique was worth the price, and he was directly upgraded to 4 levels in a row.

[Master of Hundred Weapons Halberd has been upgraded to LV.12. 】

[Master of Hundred Weapons Halberd has been upgraded to LV.13. 】

[Master of Hundred Weapons Halberd has been upgraded to LV.14. 】

[Master of Hundred Weapons Halberd has been upgraded to LV.15. 】

…………

In a moment, 4 soul crystals (middle) and 24,000 paradise coins were lost in exchange for a large amount of knowledge about halberd techniques pouring into Xu Yue's mind.

After closing his eyes and meditating for half an hour, he finally digested the profound techniques in his mind.

The halberd quietly appeared in his hand, and he danced a small and exquisite halberd flower with the broad end of the halberd. He lifted the weight with ease and felt freehand. His mastery of Fangtian's painted halberd reached a new level.

Scanning the skill page, although the change on the data panel was that the attack power of the halberd increased from 49% to 65%, the actual improvement was far more than that.

After adapting to the Halberd Technique, he should start to adapt to the other two techniques. Techniques are no better than ordinary skills. Having them is only the foundation. How to understand and use them is the key.

Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand quietly turned into a thousand-edged magic sword. Xu Yue sat cross-legged in silence and placed the magic sword horizontally in front of his knees.

His eyes were slightly closed, and Master Baibing's state quietly changed from a halberd to a sword. For a moment, the knowledge of sword skills emerged in his mind, and the shadow of a long sword gradually solidified in his mind.

"Knife skills focus on killing. This is the path of killing. The consciousness is indomitable and the heart is as solid as a rock."

Two hours later, Xu Yue opened his eyes, unsheathed the magic sword lying on his knees, and slashed out. The sword was cold and his voice was whimpering.

[Master of One Hundred Weapons·Knife: LV.1 (Passive)]

Skill effect: Increase knife attack power by 15%, greatly improve knife skills.

Tip 1: The current transformable states are: Halberd (LV.15), Shield (LV.1)

Tip 2: This specialization effect can only cover one weapon at the same time.

…………

Looking at the magic knife in his hand that was obviously the same as before, but felt completely different, his eyes flashed a little.

After understanding the techniques of the sword master, he felt that his use of the halberd had also improved a bit. The master of hundreds of weapons may not be as simple as he thought.

Turning the magic sword into a tower shield and standing it in front of him, he began to comprehend the third technique. A huge shield as big as a mountain appeared in his mind. The giant shield stood upright from the sky and the ground, and was invulnerable to wind and rain.

"The wall stands thousands of feet high and will not move for thousands of years. It resists wind and rain, blocks swords and soldiers. The shield protects the gods and protects the body. It is inviolable by all means."

Nearly two hours later, Xu Yue opened his eyes. Although he was sitting still, his calm and unshakable spirit was particularly noticeable.

[Master of Hundreds of Weapons·Shield: LV.1 (Passive)]

Skill effect: Increase shield defense by 15%, and shield usage skills are greatly improved.

Tip 1: The current transformable states are: halberd (LV.16), knife (LV.1)

Tip 2: This specialization effect can only cover one weapon at the same time.

………………

Looking at the Master of Halberd Technique who was inexplicably promoted by one level in the prompt, he gradually understood some of the secrets of the Master of Hundred Weapons skill.

Although the three techniques of halberd, shield and sword are completely different, under the integration of Baibing, they still have some things in common.

The so-called learning from the strengths of others and knowing everything, as the types of techniques increase, or the level of a certain technique continues to improve, it can completely drive the progress of other types of techniques.

Although the improvement rate will not be too high, it is a virtuous cycle and it also relieves his pressure in the later period to a large extent. Otherwise, if he wants to upgrade so many techniques to high levels, the resources required will be unimaginable. .

Techniques, in fact, are essentially a process of using techniques to understand the method, and using the method to enter the Tao. From basic-level skills, to proficiency, to specialization, master, and grandmaster, this step-by-step transition takes ordinary skills to the level of extraordinary and holy. , and race all the way on the corresponding road.

This is also the reason why skills are weak in the early stage, but can become top abilities in the later stage. This is a stable road to the sky.

Thoughts can reach the gods, and skills are close to the Tao. This is the highest pursuit of those with strong skills. Through the hard training of skills, they have strengthened their bodies and minds to the extreme, and constantly break through the limits and become consistent with the Tao, so as to obtain invincible power. Strength and unshakable will.

Because as the techniques improve, they will ultimately come down to the mind in the later stages. Therefore, even the same type of techniques will show completely different characteristics in the later stages. It is just a choice of self-awareness.

In the later period, Su Xiao undoubtedly followed the pure path, focusing on himself and the blade, and smashing all obstacles along the way. Even if his melee and spear skills were upgraded to the master level later, they only existed as auxiliary means. , the real focus is still the unchanging sword skills.

This is his path, and Xu Yue's path, when he awakens to the Hundred Arms Technique, is destined to eventually lead him to a path that draws on the strengths of others and unites them as one.

He does not have the path to the top of the Destruction Method, so he needs to constantly absorb a variety of abilities, lay a solid foundation, and finally integrate these abilities in a pure way, and elevate them to the top, just like building a pyramid.

Whether it's Hundred Soldiers, Burning Jue, or Combined Blades, they all serve this purpose.

……………

In the room, Xu Yue's eyes changed from empty to solid. His in-depth understanding of Baibing's techniques made him clearer about the way forward in the future.

After regaining consciousness, he put the tower shield in front of him back into his body and turned his head to look at the remaining three soul crystals (small). This thing is never enough. As long as it involves the improvement and unlocking of higher abilities, soul crystals are a necessity.

Especially for him, the demand for this thing was very high. After customizing the soul-melting weapon, he decided to use soul crystal as one of the consumables announced to the outside world.

Purple to dark purple equipment requires soul crystals (small), dark purple to light gold requires soul crystals (medium), and so on. With the special characteristics of the soul-melting weapon, it is fully worthy of this high-level resource.

Making up his mind, he put the two small crystals back into the space, and the last one was used to unlock the second level of enchantment, 'Equipment Attribute Enchantment'.

After consuming a soul crystal (small) and 9,000 paradise coins, he successfully unlocked the 'Attribute Enchantment' and upgraded it to LV.8. He stopped this upgrade due to insufficient proficiency.

[The recipe for ‘Fire Enchantment Scroll’ has been unlocked. 】

[The recipe for ‘Frost Enchantment Scroll’ has been unlocked. 】

The increase in level has brought him two new formulas, both of which are green quality. They can add 30 points of fire or frost damage to the weapon respectively, and have a certain chance of causing the negative status of burning and frost.

This kind of attribute enchantment cannot be superimposed, and it will have certain restrictions on the equipment attributes. It is not as universal as the characteristic enchantment, but it will be very helpful for him to forge equipment with corresponding characteristics. He does not plan to produce this kind of scroll in large quantities.

After checking the recipe, he closed the enchantment page and said:

"Paradise, I want to buy a store."

[The hunter qualification review is successful and you are qualified to open a store. Please select the store type: small/medium/large. 】

"Medium-sized store."

[Shop specifications have been selected, please select a specific location...]

The prompt ended, and a small three-dimensional model of Paradise City appeared in front of Xu Yue, and then dense red dots lit up. These were the store addresses available for selection in the city.

Looking at the exquisite urban model, he went directly to Tongtianmao Square, zoomed in on the local area, found a deeper store on the street where Shengxia Tea Shop was located, and clicked OK.

This location is close to the Exchange Square, which is convenient for traveling. There are many strong people coming and going. The street is slightly remote, the atmosphere is quiet, and there will not be too many customers, which meets his requirements.

His stay in the park is limited, and he is destined not to spend too much energy on the production of low-end equipment. His main business will be enchanting scrolls and high-end soul-melting weapon customization. He already has seven adventure groups as early customers. In this case, he does not need to set up the store in an area that is too prosperous and lively.

[The store has been selected, please name the store. 】

"The Forge and Forge."

[The naming has been completed. The exclusive room and the furnace and forging house will be connected through the space portal. The connection is in progress...]

[Connection completed. 】

[Tip: Based on the location of the store and the hunter’s forging ability, the monthly turnover of the furnace forging shop must reach more than 100,000 paradise coins. 】

[If the store fails to meet the minimum standards for three consecutive months, it will be regarded as negative management, and the park will recycle the store. 】

The beep stopped, and a black door appeared on the wall of his living room, with two words "furnace" formed by flame patterns engraved on the door.

"This is much more convenient."

Quickly walking to the door leading to the forging house, Xu Yue opened the door, and a huge space nearly twice as wide as his living room came into view. In the center of the room, a giant furnace more than five meters high stood here.

The room in front of you is not the main part of the store, it is just the forging studio behind the store. The shop floor worth 100,000 points is definitely worth every penny.
