Chapter 40: Weapon Trait Upgrades! A Trait That Grows by Devouring!
At the same time as it rippled, its weight also changed rapidly.
One second, it became astonishingly light, as light as a feather.
The next second, it became so unbearably heavy that even Xiao Xuan, straining with all his strength, could not keep it lifted and hurriedly dropped it onto the ground.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
In an instant, that mass of silver-black liquid smashed a huge crater into the floor of the Sixth-Tier cultivation room.
But very soon, as the upgrade came to an end, the mass of silver-black liquid shot out of the crater and struck Xiao Xuan in the chest, then spread across him and covered his entire body.
Before long, a ferocious silver-black suit of battle armor took shape.
Every joint of the armor bore long spikes.
Without hindering movement, they could greatly increase its lethality.
【Upgrade successful! Please inspect it yourself!】
The Supreme Will's notification sounded.
After hearing it, Xiao Xuan immediately opened the descriptions of the two pieces of equipment.
Equipment: Thunderflame Frenzy Saber
Tier: Peak Sixth-Tier
Base Weight: 200,000 tons
Base Rating: Tenth Heaven of the Martial King Realm
Traits:
【Armor-Piercing! Purple】 (Armor-Piercing damage 1000%, 0 / 1 million)
【Flame Enhancement! Purple】 (Weapon base damage 1000% and grants a fire attribute, 0 / 1 million)
【Lightning Enhancement! Purple】 (Weapon base damage 1000% and grants a lightning attribute, 0 / 1 million)
【Weight Change! Purple】 (Own weight variation range: 100x, 0 / 1 million)
【Size Change! Purple】 (Own size variation range: 100x, 0 / 1 million)
Equipment: Silverwing Nanotech Battle Armor
Tier: Peak Sixth-Tier
Base Size: within 3 meters
Base Weight: 2,000 tons
Base Rating: Tenth Heaven of the Martial King Realm
Traits:
【Defense Enhancement! Purple】 (Battle armor defense *1000%, 0 / 1 million)
【Flight! Purple】 (Can fly, base speed *500%, 0 / 1 million)
【Invisibility! Purple】 (Conceals the user's form! Cultivators who do not exceed the base rating by 6 minor realms cannot detect the battle armor's user, 0 / 1 million)
【Self-Repair! Purple】 (Can devour all kinds of Energy Matter to repair damage to the battle armor. Given sufficient materials, repair speed: 100 full suits per hour! 0 / 1 million)
【Size Change! Purple】 (Given sufficient materials, the battle armor's size variation range is 100x its base size, 0 / 1 million)
Looking at the changes in these Traits, Xiao Xuan's eyes lit up.
After the Traits were upgraded, every bonus had indeed risen by a huge margin.
And most importantly, the range of weight variation had increased tremendously as well.
Even with Xiao Xuan's current explosive increase in base strength, he could now adjust it to a suitable weight.
Moreover, the Self-Repair ability of the Nanotech Battle Armor made Xiao Xuan's eyes brighten, because the battle armor could actually devour any kind of Energy Matter to repair itself.
Energy Matter was definitely cheaper than Nanomaterial.
In fact, even the power Xiao Xuan used counted as a kind of energy for the Nanotech Battle Armor.
In other words, as long as Xiao Xuan supplied the battle armor with power, it could repair itself at high speed.
"And this is only Purple, yet it's already this incredible. If I upgraded it to Silver, wouldn't it become even more powerful!"
At that thought, Xiao Xuan's eyes lit up.
Unfortunately, its tier was still a little low.
This battle armor was only Peak Sixth-Tier.
Then Xiao Xuan suddenly remembered something.
"Right. I remember that among weapons, there are some that can raise their tier by devouring high-level energy!
"And if people can drop Traits when they are severely wounded, can weapons drop Traits too?"
That thought suddenly crossed Xiao Xuan's mind.
"Should I try it?"
Xiao Xuan glanced at the time. There was only one hour left before the scheduled assembly.
With that in mind, he did not hesitate. He immediately rushed out of the cultivation room.
In the next moment, he pushed off the ground and shot straight into the sky.
The Nanotech Battle Armor directly switched into Flight Mode.
In an instant, the armor around Xiao Xuan's feet transformed into massive Thrusters.
RUMBLE!!
With a thunderous roar, the Thrusters erupted with terrifying flames.
His figure streaked toward Nanhai University at an astonishing speed.
...
...
"Boss, that kid is a future prodigy of Imperial Capital University, and from the looks of it, he is at least a High Silver talent. Are we really going to make an enemy of him?"
"Hmph! So what if he is a future prodigy? Weren't we students of Nanhai University once too?
"If our talents had awakened earlier, we could have gotten into Imperial Capital University as well.
"The brat is this arrogant and this high-profile. Even if we don't make a move, someone else will. With a hundred billion in funds on him, better it benefits us than someone else!"
"Exactly. Boss is right. Which one of us isn't a graduate of Nanhai University?
"We'll just treat it as the kid paying tribute to us seniors!"
...
...
Meanwhile, near Xiao Xuan's cultivation room, several Martial Kings and one Martial Emperor had gathered together.
They looked as though they were merely chatting, but in truth they were discussing how to rob Xiao Xuan.
Anyone who could reach the Martial King Realm naturally had considerable talent, and many of them had once been students of Nanhai University.
Their leader had even been one of the Top Hundred experts of Nanhai University in his day.
And to this veteran graduate of Nanhai University, Xiao Xuan's earlier high-profile defeat of Liu Yunhai had been a direct slap in the face.
Back when he had been at Nanhai University, he too had been one of its Top Hundred geniuses.
And now, a Top Hundred genius had been beaten into such a miserable state by Xiao Xuan, a mere high school student. Naturally, these old alumni felt they had to teach Xiao Xuan a proper lesson.
As for whether Xiao Xuan would settle the score in the future, that would only matter if he could find them.
People in their line of work had long since developed a complete system. You might be able to track them down immediately afterward, but if a few years or a few decades passed, finding them would be utterly impossible.
CRACK!
At that moment, the door to Xiao Xuan's cultivation room opened instantly.
WHOOSH!
In the next moment, Xiao Xuan flashed past their eyes like a streak of light, then shot straight into the sky.
By the time they reacted, Xiao Xuan had already turned into a streak of flame and fled into the distance.
"This is bad! The brat knows we were waiting for him! Hurry, don't let him get away!"
"A hundred billion in funds isn't something a junior like you should possess!"
In an instant, those Martial Kings shot into the sky and prepared to chase after Xiao Xuan.
But very soon, they were dumbfounded.
Xiao Xuan's speed was so terrifying that they could not catch up to him at all.
Even their own battle armor was Peak Sixth-Tier, and with the amplification of their own strength on top of that, they still could not even catch sight of Xiao Xuan's tail lights.
Their boss was even wearing Seventh-Tier battle armor.
"Holy shit, isn't that kid's battle armor supposed to be Peak Sixth-Tier?"
"Damn it, how is that possible? My Seventh-Tier battle armor can't catch up to a Peak Sixth-Tier battle armor? This is ridiculous!"
"Could it be the newest model?"
For a moment, those Martial King-level experts were all completely stunned.
