Chapter 270: The Formidable Legendary Weapon, lady of the lake sword! (6000)

Chapter 270: The Formidable Legendary Weapon, lady of the lake sword! (6000)

After the lake water burst forth with dazzling divine light,

Cao Xing and the others saw a glowing longsword whose blade was as thin as cicada wings and glinted with a cold light. Its hilt was inlaid with gorgeous rubies, exuding nobility and magnificence, as it slowly and gradually rose from the lake.

Just from the commotion of this divine sword's birth, one could feel how terrifying the power contained within this longsword was!

The next moment, with a wave of the Goddess of the Lake's hand,

that longsword turned into a beam of divine light and instantly flew toward Cao Xing!

The gale whipped up in an instant even caused a crack over a dozen meters long to appear on the thick ice layer!

Feeling the sharpness of this sword, Cao Xing did not hesitate in the slightest.

He reached out directly and grabbed it fiercely!

In an instant, the cold hilt was gripped in his hand!

At this moment, the howling gale subsided, and the surging lake water returned to peace.

Cao Xing, holding the longsword, exuded a sacred aura all over his body.

This was an aura identical to that of the Goddess of the Lake.

He seemed to sense that the entire Snowfall Lake was linked together with him.

A system prompt appeared.

[Obtained: lady of the lake sword – Arondight (Legendary)]

…

At this moment, Cao Xing was so excited he wanted to scream out loud!

However, the surprises were not over yet.

When he grasped the longsword, a second system prompt appeared.

[Because you are the first Survivor in the entire server to obtain a complete Legendary weapon, you have obtained the title: star picker]

[star picker: You follow the footsteps of legends, and the stars surround you. Hereafter, every time you obtain a complete Legendary item, your Luck will increase by 10 points.]

[Current Legendary item holdings: 1]

…

"Holy shit! Collecting a complete Legendary item can increase Luck by 10 points?"

At this moment, a look of wild joy appeared in Cao Xing's eyes!

You must know that up until now, he had only obtained two items that increased Luck.

One was the [Shining Throne (Orange)] and the other was the [Sapphire Necklace].

And he had indeed felt the benefits brought by Luck.

The trigger probability of some equipment special effects and the success probability of souls were both slightly higher than those of other Survivors.

There was also the probability of triggering rare events, the breakthrough probability of the Heart of Power, the critical strike rate, and so on…

This time, adding another 10 points of Luck directly doubled it!

"That's really great. Once I collect enough Legendary items in the future, my Luck will continue to rise."

"By then, the Goddess of Luck will visit me in my dreams every day…"

Cao Xing thought happily.

Then he impatiently glanced at the attributes of the Legendary weapon.

[lady of the lake sword – Arondight (Unbound)]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Equipment Level: Level 70 (Can only be equipped by Tier 8 Hero-level creatures)]

[Attack Power: 9178 ~ 11724]

[Attached Special Effect ①: All Attributes +2000, Critical Strike Rate +20%, Attack Speed +20%]

[Attached Special Effect ②: Flowing Water Erosion (When attacking, there is a 50% probability to inflict negative effects such as bleeding, pain, and poisoning on the enemy)]

[Attached Special Effect ③: Wrath of the Lake (Summons 274 water elemental legions with Tier 8 Elite strength to launch a frantic attack on the enemy. The water elemental legions last for 60 seconds. Skill Cooldown: 1 day)]

[Legendary Special Effect: Divine Power Circulation (When attacking enemies with the lady of the lake sword, every strike accumulates energy. Every 1 point of energy increases critical strike rate by 1%, accumulating up to 100 points of energy. When the energy reaches its maximum value, all energy can be released to emit a beam of divine light sword qi, dealing 324% damage to enemies along the way. Every enemy killed by the divine light sword qi absorbs energy, permanently increasing the weapon's attack power by 1 point. Divine light sword qi cooldown: 24 hours)]

(Note: The 'Divine Power Circulation' special effect only takes effect after binding. If the weapon holder dies, the lady of the lake sword automatically unbinds, and the accumulated weapon attack power will be reset.)

(Weapon Introduction: The origin of Arondight has many versions, tracing back as early as the period when the gods departed. Only warriors dedicated to doing good, justice, and glory can gain the recognition of this sword.)

…

"Hiss…"

After reading the attributes of this complete Legendary weapon, Cao Xing was directly stunned!

Not to mention its increasingly terrifying special effects, just the attack power and attached attributes on the weapon alone were completely outrageous!

A base attack nearly breaking ten thousand, and all attributes increased by 2000!

Just these two items alone were enough to shock people!

Besides that, each special effect was more formidable than the last. The negative status of 'Flowing Water Erosion' could be said to have disguisedly increased a lot of attacks.

The special effect 'Wrath of the Lake' was even more outrageous, directly summoning hundreds of elite water elementals. Who could withstand such a burst?

"Too terrifying!" Cao Xing was immensely shocked.

Furthermore, what was even more crucial was the last special effect of this weapon: 'Divine Power Circulation'. This thing continuously increased the critical strike rate with the number of attacks.

Later on, after using it to kill enemies, it would even permanently increase the weapon's attack power!

What kind of concept was this?

For example, once the energy was fully accumulated, Assam swept his sword down toward a group of monsters.

At least one or two hundred monsters could be wiped out.

That is to say, this wave of attack could directly increase his attack power by one or two hundred!

Even if it could only be used once a day, as long as it was used well, it could cause one's attack power to skyrocket by double or even several times in a short period!

Completely exceeding the current attack power level.

"How perverted! As expected of a Legendary weapon!"

"As long as the holder of this weapon persists in fighting every day, day after day, I really don't know to what terrifying extent the attack power of this weapon can be stacked."

"Even one hundred thousand attack power is possible, right?"

The only pity was that the level requirement for this Legendary weapon was too high.

At least Level 70, and it must be worn by a Tier 8 creature.

Even by Cao Xing's leveling speed, this was a relatively distant goal.

At this moment, the dark purple lips of the Goddess of the Lake parted slightly as she spoke again: "Brave knight, you have obtained the lady of the lake sword,"

"From now on, please wield this weapon and continue to uphold your knightly path. It will clear away obstacles on your path for you."

She said these words to Assam.

Assam nodded solemnly.

"Then, good luck…"

Having said that, she was about to sink into the bottom of the lake.

Just at this moment, Cao Xing suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

The sinking trend of the Spirit of the Lake stopped, and she looked at Cao Xing with a look of confusion in her eyes.

"Is there anything else?"

Cao Xing said apologetically: "Well, the wearing requirements for this weapon are too high. In a short time, my knight simply cannot equip it."

"I want to ask, is there any way for my knight to equip it right now?"

The Spirit of the Lake wore a strange expression…

This was the first time she had heard such a strange request.

Because before this, those who could complete the preceding series of conditions and successfully pass the trial of the Five Virtues of Knighthood were all renowned knights whose strength had reached a formidable degree.

Therefore, for them, they had never encountered such a problem.

Pondering for a moment, her mist-covered eyelashes fluttered a few times before she slowly spoke.

"There is a method, and that is to suppress the divine power of Arondight…"

"I can suppress its divine power to around Tier 4, and you can use this weapon right now."

"However… unsealing its divine power afterward will be quite troublesome."

Hearing this, Cao Xing asked doubtfully: "If I want to unseal it, what do I need to do?"

The Goddess of the Lake said softly: "Let Arondight absorb the souls of strong individuals of the same tier…"

"At least Chieftain-level souls…"

Cao Xing understood something.

That is to say, if the level of the [lady of the lake sword – Arondight] is suppressed to Level 30 and provided with a Tier 4 Chieftain-level soul, its level can be raised to Level 40.

Then providing it with a Tier 5 Chieftain-level soul can raise its level to Level 50.

And so on…

Cao Xing pondered for a moment.

Obviously, if he did this, he would invest many souls into this weapon and consume quite a few resources.

After all, Chieftain-level souls were still very important, and they were also urgently scarce supplies in the territory.

But if Assam could be allowed to equip this weapon in advance, combined with the subsequent [Divine Power Circulation] special effect, he could start increasing the weapon's attack early on.

This deal wasn't a loss either…

After all, the other several special effects of the lady of the lake sword were likewise extremely terrifying.

Cao Xing asked: "If it is sealed, are the special effects attached to the weapon still useful?"

"Special effects?" The Spirit of the Lake seemed puzzled.

"It's the Wrath of the Lake and Divine Power Circulation effects on the weapon."

A look of realization appeared in the eyes of the Spirit of the Lake, and then she nodded, "Yes, suppressing the divine power only suppresses the destructive power of this weapon. Divine Power Circulation still increases the weapon's attack power by slaying monsters."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes instantly filled with wild joy, and he said directly: "Alright, please help me suppress it!"

The Spirit of the Lake gently nodded her head.

"As you wish…"

With those words, she extended her tender white jade finger and gently tapped.

Then, a droplet of water fell onto the blade of [Arondight].

Cao Xing felt that the aura of this sharp and unblunted sword had indeed been suppressed a lot.

Looking at the attributes, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

"Sure enough, the special effects basically haven't changed much."

"The only change is that the weapon's attack power has been suppressed to just over 2000, and the attached attribute bonus has also become 280."

"And summoning the water elemental legions has also become summoning Tier 4 Elite water elementals!"

"Great!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed!

After all, the most important special effect of this weapon was [Divine Power Circulation], which permanently increased attack power upon killing enemies.

If operated well, Cao Xing could very quickly stack it to an unprecedented height!

By then, this would be a truly peerless sharp weapon!

As long as Assam didn't die, he could even use it to slay dragons!

No, even if he died, Cao Xing could resurrect Assam.

At this moment, the Spirit of the Lake said softly: "Then, farewell…"

"May the will of the lake protect you."

Having said that, she gradually sank back into the lake water.

Cao Xing also nodded slightly, expressing his thanks to this Spirit of the Lake.

A moment later, the lake surface returned to peace.

Cao Xing, with a look of excitement in his eyes, directly tossed this weapon to Assam.

"Bind it, Assam."

The knight solemnly took it,

and first returned the [Broken Magdale] to Liu Muxue.

Then he directly grasped this powerful and complete Legendary weapon!

The moment he gripped the hilt, [Arondight] recognized that Assam had completed the knight trial and began binding the Legendary weapon!

At this moment, a sacred radiance emanated from Assam's body!

His aura was also rapidly rising.

Majesty, compassion, heroism, wisdom…

All kinds of different auras converged onto a single person.

When the light dissipated, all auras returned to calm, and only the knight holding the treasured sword stood in place.

A system prompt appeared.

[Your territory member: Assam has successfully bound the Legendary weapon – Aronondight, Reputation +1000]

…

"Good grief, a territory resident binding a Legendary weapon can even increase my Reputation?"

At this moment, a look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes once again!

At the same time, Assam also walked over and said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord. I never expected that one day, I could walk so far on the path of knighthood."

"Now, I've even gained the recognition of Aronondight…"

He no longer knew what to say.

Assam knew that to have today, his own hard work was important, but most of it was bestowed by his lord.

His feelings of gratitude were beyond words.

Even Renice and Sarah beside him looked at this knight with some envy.

They clearly knew how powerful Assam was right now.

Renice, who was also a Tier 4 boss, was definitely not his match.

Only Sarah, who was at the Tier 4 commander level, could fight against Assam holding a Legendary weapon.

Cao Xing said, "No need for words, Knight Assam, this is what you deserve."

"You only need to make yourself even stronger."

Assam said firmly, "Understood, my Lord!"

"I will definitely become a powerful knight, and even step into the Legendary hall to become a Legendary knight!"

Cao Xing smiled and then said, "Let's go, we are ready to return!"

They got back onto the Mammoth and then left Snowfall Lake.

Originally, Cao Xing wanted to cast a few more lines to see if he could catch one or two golden salmons.

But now it wasn't long before nightfall, and thinking about how he still had things to do at night, he gave up on this idea.

"Thump! Thump!"

The Mammoth carried them, quickly leaving the surface of Snowfall Lake, and then galloped all the way across the snowfield.

On the way, Cao Xing also summarized this harvest.

After a lot of twists and turns, he finally obtained a complete Legendary weapon as he wished!

According to the system introduction, every Legendary weapon was unique and had its own exclusive functions.

Similarly, every Legendary weapon possessed powerful strength.

"Not bad, the power of Aronondight exceeds my imagination, and this time I also obtained the 'star picker' title. The more complete Legendary items I collect, the more Luck value can be increased."

"Currently, I still have clues to three Legendary items in my hands."

"The first one is naturally the ancient sword – Magdale. I have already entrusted Marita to help me look for that person with royal blood in the Orchid Kingdom. If there are no clues recently, I will directly use the crystal ball and let Liu Muxue go in. At worst, it will just delay a few more days of development time."

"The second is the Shield of Origin – Anodite. The clues for this equipment are in the Twilight City. Currently, I don't know where this city is, so I'll temporarily shelve it."

"The third is the [Lunar Crown Orb] fragment given to me by Marita. It is said that once you get close to other fragments, it will automatically sense them, so this is also an item without a specific search direction."

"So next, I will still focus on territory development, and these Legendary items are not urgent to find."

Cao Xing quickly sorted out these things in his hands.

And he also made subsequent development plans.

"However, this leaderboard will end in three days, and I will start rushing the rankings in these last few days."

"Taking first place is quite simple for me."

"Now it's about using the more than one hundred [Destroyer Crossbows] in my backpack to help my cooperative partner take the second-place reward."

Thus, Cao Xing said, "Muxue, let's make a trip to Yao Yiming's territory."

Liu Muxue didn't ask much, but replied softly, "Okay."

Cao Xing changed direction and led everyone forward all the way.

It took half an hour to arrive near Yao Yiming's territory.

When it was about one kilometer away from his, Cao Xing clicked on 'Territory Visit Application'.

A moment later, a system prompt came.

[Survivor Lord: Yao Yiming has agreed to your visit application…]

…

A faint smile hung on the corners of Cao Xing's mouth.

Then he rode the Mammoth and walked straight ahead.

In the snow ahead, there were many buildings of varying heights.

Cao Xing noticed that after this period of development, the scale of Yao Yiming's territory had also expanded a lot.

Inside, nearly 20 staff members were working intensively.

Most of them were building some primary city walls.

After the last blizzard, everyone knew the importance of city walls.

Even if it was just primary, it had the effect of resisting wind.

Therefore, after the disaster, many Survivor lords spared no effort to invest a lot of resources to start building city walls.

Of course, the city wall built by Yao Yiming was certainly not as large-scale as Cao Xing's.

With a diameter of about three hundred meters, it was enough for them to move around inside.

Seeing Cao Xing coming over, Yao Yiming led his younger sister Yao Ying, waiting on the spot with a face full of joy.

Before he could speak, Yao Ying beside him poked out her little head and looked at them saying, "Great Lord Cao Xing, Sister Muxue, hello."

The two nodded, "Hello."

Yao Ying continued, "Great Lord Cao Xing, haven't you noticed the changes in yourself and Sister Muxue after a few days?"

"Changes? What are they?"

Cao Xing asked doubtfully.

With a playful smile on her tender and exquisite face, Yao Ying said, "Of course it's that Great Lord Cao Xing has become more handsome."

"Sister Muxue has also become prettier!"

Facing the praise from the young girl in front of them, smiles appeared on both of their faces.

Liu Muxue said softly, "Little sister Yao Ying is also very pretty, and very cute!"

Cao Xing looked at Yao Yiming beside him, "Your sister really knows how to speak."

He scratched his head apologetically, "Sorry, Great Lord Cao Xing, Xiaoying has been like this since she was little, without any sense of propriety."

Yao Ying beside him retorted, "How do I not? What I said is the truth, okay?"

Yao Yiming looked at his sister speechlessly.

Cao Xing had a faint smile on his lips, "Your name is Yao Ying, right?"

"Right, right!" Yao Ying responded.

"Not bad, I'll give you a small gift."

After saying that, he directly took out 5 bottles of [Life Secret Medicine (Medium)] from his backpack and handed them to her.

After Yao Ying took them with a curious expression, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in her eyes!

"Oh heavens… It's actually Life Secret Medicine, which can directly restore 1000 points of Health!"

Even Yao Yiming beside her heard this, and a look of shock also appeared in his eyes.

This was the first time they had come into contact with something like a secret medicine.

The secret medicines currently circulating in the market were too few, and the prices were very high, definitely not something ordinary Survivor lords could afford.

There was no help for it, this thing was too expensive; just a casual bottle of small Life Secret Medicine cost thousands of crowns.

At the current stage, most Survivors' means of restoring Health relied on the Mage's [Ice Healing Art] and the Aurora Knight's [Holy Heal].

But they didn't have Cao Xing's [Eternal Power] talent, so they couldn't restore much Health at all.

And now, a bottle of [Life Secret Medicine (Medium)] could restore nearly half of their Health!

At critical moments, this could be used to save lives!

Yao Yiming also instantly understood the value of these few bottles of potions.

He quickly said, "Xiaoying, we cannot take such expensive things from Great Lord Cao Xing, quickly return them."

Hearing this, some hesitation appeared on the little girl's face, seemingly reluctant to part with them.

But she also knew the preciousness of this thing, and was just about to return them.

But Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "Take them, these are nothing to me."

His restoration methods were too numerous; he didn't lack healing volume at all.

Moreover, in his territory, there was also a Master-level Witch who was fully helping him refine medicines.

After some time, Cao Xing was ready to sell a batch of secret medicines.

Hearing this, the two pondered for a moment, seemingly knowing that what Cao Xing said was true.

With his strength, although these Life Secret Medicines were precious, they were completely nothing to him.

Thus, Yao Yiming nodded and said, "Then we'll accept them. Xiaoying, quickly say thank you."

"Thank you, Great Lord Cao Xing!"

Yao Ying wore a lively smile.

Cao Xing nodded slightly, and then got straight to the point, saying, "Coming over this time, I want to talk to you about cooperation."

"Cooperation?"

Yao Yiming said, "Great Lord Cao Xing, you must be joking. With my little strength, how am I worthy of cooperating with you."

"If there is anything you need help with, just speak up, and I will definitely do my utmost to complete it."

Cao Xing shook his head, "No, we really need to cooperate on this matter."

"You should know that this time's points leaderboard is about to end."

Yao Yiming nodded and said, "Yes, Great Lord Cao Xing's points are already far ahead currently. Everyone knows that this time's first place is undoubtedly yours!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "There should be no suspense for me in taking first place, but the reward for second place is also quite good."

Hearing this, Yao Yiming was instantly startled, "Great Lord Cao Xing… You mean?"

He was a smart person and instantly understood something!

Cao Xing wanted to take the second-place reward together!
