152: Chapter 152 Frostmourne!!!

The tide of ecstasy gradually subsided as these two big shots standing at the Peak of power finally suppressed the turbulent waves in their hearts.

Immediately after, a deep sense of relief rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Fortunately, such a Prodigy was born in Great Xia!

Since that was the case, they would definitely exhaust the entire country's strength to safeguard his growth.

Lord of the State Qin Zhan took a deep breath and promised in a solemn tone:

"From now on, within the borders of Great Xia, I will order all God Realm powerhouses who kill Sub-Gods or mythical-grade creatures from the enemy camp to secretly send the intact corpses to you for you to use your talent for 'evolution'."

Hearing this, the corners of Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and his heart blossomed with joy: "Then I thank Lord Qin."

This was exactly the kind of treatment he wanted.

Instead of scouring the mountains and fields for high-level monsters himself, wouldn't it be much more refreshing to have all the mythical-grade big shots of Great Xia collectively acting as his 'laborers'?

"In addition," Qin Zhan's eyes were like torches as he continued to throw out heavy benefits, "I will immediately upgrade your clearance Rank—within Tianchen Academy, you will have top-tier Level 5 clearance; within Great Xia, your personal clearance will be raised to Level 10!"

Su Chen's pupils suddenly dilated.

Level 5 clearance at Tianchen Academy meant he was on equal footing with Dean Lu Yuan. The entire academy's resource library and Forbidden Grounds would be like his back garden, where he could take whatever he wanted and go wherever he pleased.

As for Level 10 clearance within Great Xia, it was the supreme power second only to the Lord of the State! In all of Great Xia, the number of people with this clearance could be counted on one's fingers; it could be described as 'under one person, above ten thousand'.

Whether it was allocating massive resources, sealing and controlling Secret Realms, or city planning and dungeon management, he would have the final say.

Even if he wanted the City Lord of Yun City to step down and yield his position now, the other party would have to obey obediently.

"This generous gift... then this Junior will accept it with gratitude. Thank you for the cultivation, Lord!" Su Chen's gratitude was beyond words.

"No need to thank me, you are the future pillar of Great Xia." Qin Zhan's gaze was gentle as he reached out and patted Su Chen's shoulder heavily.

"By the way, Dean Lu... that five-star difficulty class change, I have successfully completed the mission..." Su Chen turned his head and rubbed his hands somewhat shyly, with a 'you know what I mean' smile on his face.

Dean Lu Yuan burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Hahaha, don't worry, you brat. How could this old man go back on the grand gift I promised you? I've already prepared it for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and two exotic treasures quietly appeared on the coffee table in the living room.

The first item was a necklace surrounded by a hazy red light and inlaid with jewels as brilliant as stars.

Su Chen's eyes went straight, and his breathing became rapid.

This was actually an extremely rare mythical-grade accessory! The Dean's generosity was indeed extraordinary.

The second item was the [Super Adaptation Contract Scroll] he had been longing for, which would allow him to ignore the Rank gap and wear equipment 40 levels above his own.

Since it was a bargain, Su Chen decisively pocketed the scroll and then impatiently checked the attributes of that Divine Artifact.

[Stellar Necklace] (First-Tier Mythical)

• Equipping Level: Rank 120

• Basic Attributes: All Attributes +25,888, All Attributes +50%

• Combat Buffs: Final Output +50%, HP/Defense Caps each increased by 100%

• Skill: [Stellar Protection]: Channel the power of a stellar core to be immune to any form of damage for 5 seconds.

Cooldown: 120 minutes.

Skill: [Star Anchor]: Allows pre-setting a Resurrection coordinate; after falling, one will be resurrected here across space.

The attributes were so powerful they were outrageous!

[Stellar Protection] was simply an evolved version of [Divine Protection], and the cooldown was reduced to a mere two hours.

If combined with the release of Divine Power, the invincibility time could be further extended.

And [Star Anchor] was an even better life-saving skill, allowing him to choose to be reborn in a safe base rather than waiting for death on the spot when encountering an irresistible siege.

Su Chen replaced his original necklace on the spot.

"Old Lu has made his stance clear. If I, the Lord of the State, don't give a handy Divine Artifact, wouldn't I seem petty?" Qin Zhan on the side laughed heartily, appearing extremely magnanimous.

Su Chen raised an eyebrow, secretly delighted: Is this the charm of being 'approachable'?

He naturally wouldn't refuse.

Since he had shown his trump cards, wasn't it for the sake of exchanging them for combat power that could allow him to realize his potential quickly?

"Since Old Lu gave armor and accessories, then I will give you a main combat weapon."

Qin Zhan looked at Su Chen with a slight sense of confusion, "Although I don't quite understand why an Assassin like you would swing a Greatsword around... but it just so happens I don't have any top-grade daggers in my hand. Pick one of these heavy swords that catches your eye."

Su Chen touched the tip of his nose awkwardly.

He didn't want to either, but who told the drop rate for Assassin god-tier gear in this world to be ridiculously low?

Immediately after, Qin Zhan searched through his private treasury and then pulled out four mythical-grade heavy swords emitting a cold red light.

They were all First-Tier Mythical, and their levels were all below 140—any higher, and even with the contract scroll, Su Chen wouldn't be able to wear them.

[Orte's Soul-Severing Sword], [Undead Ghostfire Blade], [frostmourne], [Atasma Greatsword]...

When his gaze swept to the third weapon, Su Chen was completely stunned.

Does frostmourne actually exist in this world?!

It was a frost greatsword with a strange shape and a great sense of oppression: the blade was engraved with runes flowing with ghostly blue fire, the edges of the blade were jagged, and the hilt was inlaid with a hideous skull. The overall appearance was extremely similar to that demonic weapon in his memory.

"This sword was the spoils of war when Elder Su personally beheaded the first mythical-grade Lich King successor at the Eternal Wall back then."

Seeing Su Chen staring fixedly at the sword, Qin Zhan took the initiative to explain, "It was held by the Lich King and Elder Su successively.

Because the original owner was an outlier who practiced Dual Cultivation of physical and magical arts, the attribute bonuses are a bit 'bizarre'. Later, the old man found it awkward to use and threw it to me to handle."

Hearing this, Su Chen's curiosity was completely piqued.

A weapon of a famous general, a blade passed down through generations—this kind of weapon with legendary color was simply tailor-made for him!
