Chapter 733: Chapter 376: Forging a Legendary Reputation (Part 2)

Finally, Lu Fanchen thought of the golden blood collected in the underground depths of the Martial Arts Hall. He had initially collected twelve drops, and after using one drop to break through, the rest were saved. Now stuck at the Blood Coagulation Realm, Lu Fanchen decided to try using the golden blood.

However, the golden blood is not pure energy. Using it to absorb and temper the brain carries significant risks. If things go wrong, not only would he fail to break through, but he would also lose one precious drop of golden blood.

"Incredibly stable," Lu Fanchen opened his eyes, a slight smile on his lips, "And with this drop of golden blood, I’ve even completed the fourth layer of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique."

"The fourth layer of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique is complete?" Lin Xinyao’s beautiful eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.

The difficulty of the fourth layer of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique is several times greater than the third. Even though she has reached the Third Realm of Perfection, she still feels weak in the face of the framework of the fourth layer. It seems like an impossible task for humans, yet a single drop of golden blood allowed Lu Fanchen not only to reach the Heavenly Human Realm but also to complete the fourth layer of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique. It’s simply unbelievable.

And with the body strength of the fourth layer of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, theoretically, it’s hard for the Heavenly Human Realm to be harmed. Even someone like Luo Wushang, who is also at the Heavenly Human Realm, probably can’t inflict much damage on Lu Fanchen.

"I need a good weapon right now. The weapon from this team mission is perfect for me. Notify Tian Xing and gather them; I am determined to get that NPC!" Lu Fanchen clenched his fists, feeling his body strength, and ordered directly.

Although he’s not sure how strong the Half-step Divine Fusion Realm is, he feels he should be able to fight. Even if he can’t win, he should be able to endure. As long as he can hold out, others can continuously wear down the NPC, and naturally, it will be captured.

"Alright, I’ll notify Tian Xing and the others immediately," Lin Xinyao excitedly ran to contact the experts of the Defense Corps.

Meanwhile, as the three Defense Corps were in action, Lin Qi, drawing the advanced roulette in the Martial Arts Hall, was looking rather displeased.

"What kind of luck is this? Three thousand draws total, and they’ve already drawn a thousand with nothing to show for it, not even a single four-star reward. How can there not be a single three-star weapon?" Lin Qi looked at the pile of items in the system warehouse and found himself at a loss for words.

The advanced Martial Arts Hall roulette guarantees at least a two-star reward, with a maximum potential for a five-star reward. He didn’t expect the five-star reward, since the odds are 0.1%, but he did expect one of the four-star rewards at 0.9%. After all, since drawing the four-star Life Seed, he’s already done a thousand draws, and normally there should be three or four four-star rewards by now.

Yet, not a single one emerged, and among the hundreds of three-star rewards drawn, there’s not a single blue weapon—all are three-star food items.

Three-star reward: Crazy Chocolate, upon consumption induces immediate sleep and dream state, allowing a year’s worth of cultivation experience within the dream, naturally waking after six hours.

The effect of this Crazy Chocolate is heaven-defying. Although the user does not gain a year of cultivation time directly, the experience gained in the dream can be brought back, and one doesn’t die in the dream either. It’s the perfect divine-level food for practicing cultivation and Martial Arts.

With over a hundred of these Crazy Chocolates given to him at once, Lin Qi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

More than a hundred Crazy Chocolates, if used on a single person, would be equivalent to a hundred years’ worth of cultivation experience for someone. Moreover, since one doesn’t truly die while cultivating, the result is beyond his imagination.

"I’ll do another thousand draws. If no weapons emerge, I’ll have to give away that mallet," Lin Qi gazed at the stash of food in the system warehouse and decided to consume three million disciple points.

System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining a two-star reward: a large sausage.

System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining a three-star reward: a piece of chocolate.

...

System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining a four-star reward: a Big Treasure Sword.

"A purple weapon?" Lin Qi saw the purple light in his mind’s roulette and paused for a moment before quickly checking the details of this newly drawn purple weapon.

It was a massive heavy sword, over two meters long, entirely black, resembling a heated iron rod.

"So strong!"

Lin Qi gripped the blunt edge of the heavy sword, looked at the displayed three attributes, and couldn’t help but gasp.

Attribute One: Intermediate Great Strength, usage grants a significant boost in strength.

Attribute Two: Intermediate Power Amplification, usage greatly increases power amplification.

Attribute Three: Intermediate Qi and Blood Amplification, usage significantly enhances Qi and Blood amplification.

The previous blue weapon provided a basic amplification of 50%, but now the intermediate amplification directly reaches 100%, and for three attributes at that—it’s fair to call it a divine artifact that transcends tiers.

Subsequently, Lin Qi finished another thousand draws, and though he obtained over a hundred more three-star rewards, there was still no weapon, only more Crazy Chocolate, with no further four-star rewards. It was a veritable pitfall.

"Looks like I’ll have to give away that mallet after all," Lin Qi touched the blunt edge of the heavy sword, ultimately deciding to part with the mallet, notwithstanding the impressive look of using a mallet. Carrying a heavy sword out in the world seems more conventional.

Just as Lin Qi wished to try out this new weapon, the door was suddenly knocked, and Vanessa, dressed in guardian heavy armor, hurried inside.

"Hall Master, those three Domain Cities have taken action!" Vanessa said with some concern, "According to reports from our monitors, though the numbers aren’t many—totaling over a thousand—all detected life forms are Grandmasters. The direction of gathering seems to be the Wraith Mountain Range. Should we strategically retreat?"
