Chapter 222: Chapter 221: Dark Purple Weapon

Of course, Zhang Yanhang actually wanted to simply pile up Refined Crimson Iron to achieve Purple Quality and then directly forge a Purple Quality weapon weighing hundreds of kilograms in one go.

But this approach was utterly unfeasible because Zhang Yanhang discovered that even if he combined all the Refined Crimson Iron available to him, he couldn’t achieve Purple Quality. Beyond ten kilograms, he could only increase the score by a tiny amount.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang ultimately only chose a ten-kilogram scale because anything more would have been a complete waste.

While starting the Alchemy process to fuse the Refined Crimson Iron, Zhang Yanhang suddenly thought of a critically important question, "I remember that Alchemy is now upgradable, right? Just by using a bit of Ash Source, I can fill in the gaps of the current incomplete Alchemy to make it whole.

If I could complete Alchemy to its whole state, then at that time, Alchemy will definitely be much stronger than it is in its incomplete state, and, I estimate that after completion, it’s highly probable that some even more useful new functions will appear."

"So should I upgrade Alchemy or not?"

After careful consideration, because accumulating fifty thousand soul points was indeed too troublesome, perhaps he could first use a bit of Ash Source to upgrade Alchemy. After all, even if he used up one now, he would still have one Ash Source left for upgrading the Technique Immunity Skill later on.

Zhang Yanhang felt that along his journey, Alchemy had indeed been enormously helpful to him, such as in fusing equipment and artifacts, and even now, he was using Alchemy for material fusion.

"But the upgrade of Alchemy isn’t urgent. It won’t be too late to upgrade it after I’ve forged the Purple Quality weapon."

Zhang Yanhang continued, focusing on using the Alchemy Array to control the fusion of Refined Crimson Iron, and soon, a fist-sized piece of Refined Crimson Iron +2 of Purple Quality appeared before his eyes.

After fusing the Refined Crimson Iron +2, Zhang Yanhang merely glanced over its attribute list before immediately starting Alchemy again to shape it into a simple blade and sharpen it.

Once Zhang Yanhang confirmed through the attribute list that the blade had become a Purple Quality weapon, he nodded in satisfaction.

Zhang Yanhang took out Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist from his waist bag, then placed the newly forged Crimson Iron Blade next to it, "Choose! I want to upgrade the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist’s quality!" Just like the last time, Zhang Yanhang immediately triggered a Time Pause.

[Do you wish to upgrade the quality of ’Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist’?]

[Option One: Yes (Consume a ’Refined Crimson Iron Short Sword’ of Purple Quality to upgrade ’Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist’ to Dark Purple Quality.)]

[Option Two: Yes (Consume a ’Buddha Relic’ to upgrade ’Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist’ to Dark Purple Quality.)]

[Option Three: No (Even though you already have a Purple Quality weapon that could be used for the upgrade, you decide to forego the upgrade of ’Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist’ to Dark Purple Quality for some incomprehensible reason.)]

"I choose Option One, consume a Purple Quality weapon to upgrade Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist to Dark Purple Quality." As he had seen the option list once before, Zhang Yanhang made his choice without any hesitation.

After Zhang Yanhang made his choice, the Crimson Iron Blade that was placed next to Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist instantly vanished into thin air, and Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist itself suddenly emitted a ring of dark purple light.

After the upgrade was complete, Zhang Yanhang immediately picked up Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist to check its attribute list, wanting to see how strong the changes would be once it was upgraded to Dark Purple Quality.

[Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist]

[Quality: Dark Purple]

[Type: Weapon]

[Origin: Ashen World, Land of the Buddha Country, Heretic Conversion Agency.]

[Durability: 175/175]

[Attack Power: 124 (+23)]

[Additional Attributes: Critical Strike Rate +8% (+2%)]

[Special Attribute: 1. All Four Elements are Void (Buddhist). 2. All Things are Impermanent (Buddhist).]

[All Four Elements are Void (Buddhist): Creates a Vajra (Gravity) Domain that pulls in nearby enemies and stuns them (Physical) for 2.8 seconds (+0.4 seconds).

After using this Skill, your next attack within 5 seconds will deal an additional 621% (+67%) of your Attack Power as Physical Damage to the target and their surrounding enemies, knocking them back. Cooldown 30 seconds, consumes 45 Energy points (+15 points).]

[All Things are Impermanent (Buddhist): Increases all damage caused to life form enemies by 16.9% (+3.1%). The bonus is doubled when attacking targets such as Armor, Clothing, and Beimao.]

[Upgradable, Upgrade Conditions: Consume Buddha Relics (0/1) or Dark Purple Quality Weapons (0/2).]

[Usage requirements: Strength 30, Agility 25, Constitution 25.]

[Score: 260 (The score for Dark Purple Items ranges from 151 to 260.)]

[Summary: For some unknown reason, ever since an outsider witnessed me wearing these fist gloves specialized for converting Heresy of Buddha-level and performing a routine conversion on a heretic, they weirdly started calling me ’One Punch Man.’ —— From a Conversion Agency Executioner of Arhat Level]

"Such a significant increase in attack power and bonus effects, it’s really powerful. Moreover, right after the upgrade, it immediately went from a full score Purple Quality weapon to a full score Dark Purple Quality weapon, the score directly increased by one hundred and ten points..."

Zhang Yanhang was extremely pleased with the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist after upgrading, especially the attack effect of All Four Elements are Void, which increased from the original 554% to now 621%, a full increase of 67%, the magnitude of the increase was certainly substantial.

Correspondingly, the energy consumption of the skill also increased, from the original thirty points to now forty-five points, a direct increase by half, but as long as it’s only forty-five Energy points, it’s still within the range Zhang Yanhang could afford. With his current Energy value limit, he could at least throw 17 punches consecutively.

Moreover, considering the outstanding Attack Power Bonus effect of All Four Elements are Void, even a forty-five point energy consumption is quite worthwhile.

"By the way, after opting to upgrade once via multiple choices, the upgrade conditions for this Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist were immediately unlocked. To upgrade to a Light Golden Quality, a Buddha Relic or two new Dark Purple Quality weapons are needed."

Just like before, Zhang Yanhang still didn’t possess any Buddha Relics, nor did he have any means to obtain them, so if he wanted to upgrade Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist to Light Golden Quality, he would need to acquire two new Dark Purple Quality weapons.
