At Chen Mo's House
"After absorbing these Tier-3 cores, I have finally reached the first level of the Tyrant Body. i feel that my flesh is several times stronger than before, Next is to prepare for leaving to the Iron Body Sect." Chen Mo paced around his room, speaking aloud.
"Let's see what we have... Oh, right! I haven't checked the Nirvana Sword given to me by the system." He turned his focus inward. "System, show me the information about this sword."
"Yes, Master. Here is everything about the Earth-tier sword, Black Nirvana (Upgradeable):"
Attack Power: Increased by 35%
Special Effect - Bleed: Enemies struck will suffer from 'Bleed.'
Energy Consumption: Decreased by 20%
Chen Mo's eyes lit up with excitement. "Upgradeable? Does that mean this Earth-tier sword can become a King-tier, Emperor-tier, or even higher? Isn't that amazing? How do I upgrade it? And what exactly does the 'Bleed' effect do?"
The system responded promptly. "Of course, Master. Rewards provided by the system are naturally extraordinary. The sword can be upgraded by absorbing blood essence—the higher the quality of the essence, the greater the improvement.
As for the 'Bleed' effect, when an enemy is wounded by the sword, the effect accelerates their blood loss, making it fatal faster.
Chen Mo grinned. "That sounds perfect! If I encounter someone with a huge cultivation gap, this 'Bleed' effect could give me a fighting chance. Coupled with reduced energy consumption and increased attack power, this sword is a treasure. I'll definitely need to invest more into it."
A thought crossed his mind. "System, if the sword can be upgraded, does the same apply to techniques? I've collected plenty of seemingly useless techniques from Tianlong's men. Can I use them to enhance my passive techniques?"
The system answered confidently, "Naturally, Master. Techniques can also be upgraded."
Chen Mo didn't hesitate. "In that case, invest all these techniques into my passive ones."
"Order received. Combining techniques..."
Ding! Techniques successfully combined.
Ding! Upgrade successful.
Wind Step: Speed increased from 35% → 60% (Passive)
Fire Fist: Attack power increased from 25% → 45% (Passive)
Golden Bell: Defense increased from 25% → 45% (Passive)
Chen Mo's satisfaction was evident. "With this sword and these technique buffs, even with my current Grandmaster realm cultivation, taking on a Spirit Realm powerhouse shouldn't be an issue. Now, the only thing left is—"
Ding! Techniques successfully combined.
Chen Mo blinked in confusion. "Not done yet?"
Ding! Techniques successfully combined.
Ding! Congratulations, Master, you have gained the Earth-tier technique: Energy Masking Technique (Alters perceived level of cultivation).
master, "Some techniques weren't compatible with your passive ones, so they were fused into a new technique instead."
Chen Mo nodded, ."Energy Masking Technique? That's useful. I can hide my true cultivation level if needed. This will definitely come in handy."
