Chapter 209: Tenacity of the Dead (1/2)
The blade shone with brilliant light, and looked like a bloody rainbow. There were horrific runes along the blade, and eerie ghosts circulating the blade. Just holding the hilt caused me to feel a bone-chilling energy pour into my body. This sword had to be far stronger than the Ghost Ice Soul.
I reached out and the stats appeared in front of me. Immediately the two beauties’ jaws dropped, both of them lost for words—
Miracle Purgatory Sword (Dark Gold–grade, Outstanding ★★★)
Attack: 250~475
Strength: +55
Stamina: +48
Passive: Increases user's Attack by 17%
Passive: 20% of the damage will be dealt as splash damage
Property: Level Requirement reduced by 20
Outstanding Property: 5% chance of activating “Purgatory Slash”, dealing huge damage to the enemies in front
Level Requirement: 80
……
A while later, Lin Yixin pressed her lips together and murmured, ”I've seen the official information about Outstanding equipment but I thought it was exaggerated. I didn't expect such powerful items to actually exist...”
Murong Mingyue was puzzled. ”What’s Outstanding equipment?”
Lin Yixin smiled and explained. ”It's simple. Ordinary equipment is divided into normal grades; Gold, Dark Gold and so on. But among items of the same grade, there is a very small chance for an item to get the ‘Outstanding’ classification. These weapons have stats 10–50% higher than ordinary weapons of the same grade!”
As she spoke, Lin Yixin pointed at the Miracle Purgatory Sword in my hand and said with a smile, ”Here, Lu Chen's sword is a 3-star Outstanding item. That means its stat will be 30% higher. If it was 5-star instead, it would have had 50% higher stats. This kind of weapon is very rare, and extremely powerful. However, the scariest thing about these items isn’t their stats, but the Outstanding Properties!”
I looked in shock at the sword in my hand and said, ”Yiyi, you are talking about this 5% chance of activating ‘Purgatory Slash’?”
”Yes!”
Lin Yixin nodded. ”Clearly, this is an AoE attack, and its power will definitely match your Thousand Mirage Slash. This Outstanding Property will be stunning in both PvE and PvP, and is sure to bring you unexpected surprises!”
”Damn, Yiyi, you know so much, you are the Heavenblessed Encyclopedia...”
”Stop that. You should treat us to a meal!” Lin Yixin looked at me, hand on hips and said irritably, “Oooh, a 3-star Outstanding weapon, how should I despise you...”
Murong Mingyue giggled. ”Alright, this weapon has the special property of lowering the level requirement by 10. Lu Chen, can you equip it?”
”Yes!”

……
My attack power was now above 1100. Adding on the item passives and buffs, my actual attack power should be above 1500. Just the Miracle Purgatory Sword alone added 17%. Its effect was truly divine!
I was pleased. A 3-star Outstanding weapon was enough for me to reach Level 100 without changing, and maybe even Level 120. So great!
I summoned the Dark Wasp. Lin Yixin was surprised. ”The fight is done, why summon your pet?”
”To test the blade!”
I said coolly and raised the sword to swing at the Dark Wasp's head. I immediately created an attack damage over the limit—2184!
Fuck, a basic attack almost killed the Dark Wasp instantly?!
On one hand, the Dark Wasp couldn’t keep up with my needs. On the other hand, this 3-star Outstanding weapon was too strong!
Witnessing my brutal conduct, Lin Yixin and Murong Mingyue expressed their scorn. ”I don't know what sin it committed to end up as his pet...”
I snickered and said, ”Any more drops? Sis, continue to touch it. Maybe you’ll find something hard again, hahaha!”
Murong Mingyue glared at me, and continued feeling for loot. Soon, a pair of combat boots shining with cool light appeared in Murong Mingyue's hand. I reached out to touch and the stats appeared—
Death Shade War Boots (Dark Gold–grade)
Defense: 170
Magic Resist: 125
