Chapter 1530: Chapter 53: Explosive Enhancement

Su Xiao had only one legendary treasure chest left, while Bu Bu Wang and Bennie were busy opening their own. Bennie, in particular, was very enthusiastic.

Now, the only chest left in Su Xiao’s possession was the reward from the main task. Although the quality of such chests was not guaranteed, the scope of rewards was broad and varied.

As soon as the chest was opened, blinding golden light flooded Su Xiao’s vision—it flashed!

...

Seeing the simple attached ability of [Soul Walker], Su Xiao’s eyes lit up. This was the simplest yet most aggressive ability he had ever seen.

Su Xiao gripped the handle of [Soul Walker], the entire knife was about 50 centimeters long, the blade was thin and lightweight, with excellent balance—undoubtedly a rare short knife.

This item had no flashy abilities, its only power prevented wounds from healing unless treated with Sixth Tier or above methods.

Looking at this ability, Su Xiao even felt the urge to replace the Supreme Blade Edge Effect 2, but Blood Thirsty Praise (Passive) had been crafted for so long that replacing it would be a pity.

[Soul Walker] was not meant for regular combat but specifically to deal with enemies with an undead physique. A few strikes would still leave them missing limbs, greatly reducing their combat strength even if they remained alive.

Su Xiao stowed away [Soul Walker] as a backup close combat weapon.

Bu Bu Wang and Bennie were still opening treasure chests, while Su Xiao rose and sat cross-legged on the bed to examine the Sword Grandmaster ability.

Su Xiao currently had 16 Soul Crystals (Large), and plenty of Paradise coins. The treasure chests obtained within the Bleach World were highly productive, it was time to upgrade the Sword Grandmaster.

[Yes/No to upgrade Sword Grandmaster Lv.1, requires Soul Crystal (Large) ×1 + 50,000 Paradise coins to upgrade this ability.]

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao took 10 Soul Crystals (Large) in hand, choosing to continuously upgrade Sword Grandmaster ten levels.

With a snap, the Soul Crystals in Su Xiao’s hand shattered, his vision blurred, and numerous shadowy figures appeared before his eyes. Their facial features were obscured, yet each had a long knife tucked at their waist.

Su Xiao could perceive that he hadn’t been teleported away, remaining within the exclusive room. The next moment, a shadow wielding a long knife charged at him, slashing swiftly enough to be unavoidable.

After the knife light passed, Su Xiao was unharmed, another shadow rushed in, repeatedly cycling through. These shadows were illusions of swordmasters, their lifelong practice of sword techniques were integrated and accelerated for Su Xiao to realize what he could.

The Yeguang Maple Tree within the exclusive room moved with no wind, several black maple leaves falling to Su Xiao’s side, eventually disintegrating.

[Sword Grandmaster has upgraded to Lv.2.]

[Sword Grandmaster has upgraded to Lv.3.]

...

...

[Sword Grandmaster has upgraded to Lv.10.]

[Sword Grandmaster has upgraded to Lv.11.]

[Sword Grandmaster has upgraded to Lv.12.]

...

The upgrade speed of sword techniques was faster than expected, after Sword Grandmaster reached Lv.12, the shadowy figures vanished.

Su Xiao’s eyes opened, instinctively grasping the hilt at his waist, almost simultaneously Bu Bu Wang, who was opening treasure chests, turned and ran, A Mu similarly made a dash in a panic, tumbling out of the exclusive room.

Meow Beini looked perplexed, still holding a piece of light gold equipment with its cat paw, rubbing it against its cat face...

Chime~

Dragon Slash unsheathed, with Su Xiao as the center, countless knife auras extended outward. At this moment, the exclusive room became the realm of blades.

Light blue brilliance filled the exclusive room, everything shattered except that Yeguang Maple Tree and Bennie.

The walls did not have slashing marks but had several layers cut through by concentrated knife auras.

"Mew... meow?"

Bennie curled in the corner trembling, and if observed closely, tears shimmered at the corner of its eyes. Despite the exclusive room being an absolute safe zone, the aura Su Xiao had burst forth was terrifyingly intense.

A few seconds later, the door was opened a crack, first a dog head peeked in, followed by a thud as A Mu tried to stick its head and got stuck due to the horns on its head.

Su Xiao sheathed the long knife, his gaze turning to Bennie, who shivered and surprisingly raised a paw to surrender, showing its paw pad shaped like a plum blossom.

"Seems you got scared, forgot to give a heads-up."

Su Xiao often did such things after enhancing sword techniques, Bu Bu Wang and A Mu were accustomed to it, but the newly arrived Meow Beini was still unaware.

Bennie slumped straight onto the ground, the message crystal clear: "Without 20,000 Paradise coins of pocket money, this great cat won’t get up."

Su Xiao ignored Bennie’s ’extortion’, he checked the Sword Grandmaster ability. Judging by the number of Soul Crystals and Paradise coins consumed, the Sword Grandmaster should have been upgraded to Lv.10. However, it had actually upgraded to Lv.12, obviously due to the enhancement effect of the Yeguang Maple Tree.

Not only that, Su Xiao sensed that the surrounding world seemed to ’slow down’ a bit, a familiar feeling experienced when certain body abilities substantially heightened.

[Sword Grandmaster: Lv.12 (Passive Skills)]

Skill Effect: Increase attack power of sword type weapons by 336% (up 96%), nerve reflex speed +39% (up 36%), immunity to mental control and Mind System seduction and induction.

Initial Additional ability: Rule of All Things Lv.MAX,

Blade Aura Lv.60: Flying speed of blade aura +180% (up 30%), blade value +40 (up 10 points), armor break +35 (up 10 points), blade aura is an energy solidification entity.

Lv.10 Ultimate Ability: Shadow Flash (Active), dashing with super limit speed, the next cleave will carry sword type weapon attack power ×3 penetration strike damage (this is sword grandmaster enhanced ’sword type weapon attack power’), using this ability will consume 60% of current life value, if successfully killing the enemy, quickly absorb 30% consumed life value, and immediately reset cooldown.

Tip: This skill can only be used when maximum life value is below 35%, cooldown 48 hours, massive stamina overdraw post-use.

...

After Sword Grandmaster was enhanced to Lv.12, its comprehensive capability exploded. Moreover, sword techniques awakened an ultimate ability, Shadow Flash. This was the accumulated outcome, the sea of Soul Crystals invested before now pays off.

Shadow Flash doesn’t require any preparation, directly dashing out with a cleave, neither needing to charge nor activate specific abilities—simply crisp and straightforward.

Su Xiao felt that this move should not be called Shadow Flash, but ’Life-taking Flash’ might be more apt. If this strike didn’t kill the enemy, Su Xiao’s death wouldn’t be far off, though undoubtedly, if Su Xiao used Shadow Flash and enhanced it with Blue Steel Shadow energy simultaneously upon striking, it wouldn’t be exaggerated to say it could one-hit kill a Tier Four Tank.

Single battle divine skill, mob killing suicide skill—this was Su Xiao’s assessment of Shadow Flash.
