Ten-star weapon——【Holy Sword】

Li Xunle gave a sinister smile.

His eyes darted around, a glint of cunning flashing within them.

Then.

He gently waved his staff, and dozens of green lights shot out, landing on the dozens of people engaged in battle.

Thus.

A faint, almost imperceptible green halo of death hung above each person's head.

Unbeknownst to them, it was slowly deducting everyone's health points.

Zhao Hao, lurking to the side, said:

"Big Brother, why don't we just rush out and kill them? There's no need to be so sneaky, right?"

"I just want to secretly poison them. Heh, it's just for fun!"

The smile on Li Xunle's face was exceptionally brilliant.

As a Poisonous Healer, how perfectly reasonable was it for him to secretly administer poison?

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes beside him. He clearly had the formidable strength to kill them head-on, yet he insisted on secretly messing with people.

This was utterly inhumane!

His behavior was too much like a Lao Yin Bi.

However.

The next second, he also hid to the side, eagerly watching the show, his desire to gossip extremely obvious.

Finally.

Among the people on the battlefield, some noticed that something was amiss. They realized that whether they were fighting or not, their health was continuously dropping.

This absurd scene filled them with despair.

"Oh my god, what's wrong with me? My health keeps decreasing?"

"I completely don't understand, I feel like I'm going to die!"

"Is someone f*cking poisoning us? That Lao Yin Bi!"

"Wait, everyone seems to have a green aura above their heads! Is that poison? Green usually means poisonous!"

"I swear eternal enmity with that Lao Yin Bi who's poisoning us!"

They chattered away, discussing animatedly.

As time passed, everyone became terrified.

Some directly shouted at their opponents.

"Damn you, are you using poison because you think I'm stronger than you?"

"I f*cking hate people who use poison the most in my life. How could I use poison?"

"Impossible, the one using poison is a hypocrite like you!"

"Can't you f*cking open your eyes? If I were poisoning, would I poison myself? I'm poisoned too!"

"What if you made a mistake?"

"..."

The arguments were endless.

Everyone's health steadily decreased, neither fast nor slow, and precisely because of this, everyone began to despair.

To be fair, a decrease in health wasn't painful, but at this moment, despair made them don masks of agony.

They had tried every method, but nothing worked.

Potions, antidotes, tonics, Immortality pills... completely useless!

The despair on their faces grew thicker and thicker, as if they had been condemned to death by the King of Hell.

One after another.

They fell helplessly.

In their final moments, their faces were still filled with anger and confusion.

Their thoughts were, who the hell was secretly poisoning them, and they cursed him to a terrible death!

Those with foresight found a pit in advance and voluntarily lay down in it... silence!

Terrifying silence!

There was no rustle of leaves or movement at the battle scene, except for the chirping of insects and birds in the distance.

Li Xunle calmly said:

"Those not of our race are bound to have different intentions; they must be eradicated!"

In this environment, harmonious coexistence was a joke.

Unless the eerie game stopped descending upon Blue Star, all countries would be in a competitive and hostile relationship.

Therefore, eliminating opposing experts was to secure more chances of survival for one's own country.

So Li Xunle had no mercy.

"Ri Tian, let's go get the loot!"

After speaking.

He eagerly led the way out.

He looked around for the item the two groups were fighting over; he vaguely saw it was a ten-star weapon.

A ten-star weapon, quite rare.

Currently, all the ten-star weapons Li Xunle had seen were in the hands of those dozen or so top Xia Country Guardians.

Ordinary level 100 experts didn't even have ten-star weapons.

Zhao Hao didn't waste any words and eagerly rushed into the corpse-strewn battlefield to search.

There were about forty to fifty bodies.

Everyone's level was quite high; they should all be max level.

As Zhao Hao searched, he asked:

"Big Brother, why didn't you strip people of their equipment when we killed them before?"

Li Xunle shook his head:

"No other meaning, and don't misunderstand, I just purely feel that things on dead people are very unlucky."

Zhao Hao didn't understand: "Don't you feel unlucky now?"

Li Xunle grinned:

"That's why you're here. The items go into your backpack."

"Big Brother, don't you want them?"

Li Xunle shook his head:

"Equipment has always been like dirt to me. If I want equipment, I'll directly go and get brand new equipment.

Also, I don't like second-hand items!"

Zhao Hao seemed to grasp something:

"Don't like second-hand items? Big Brother, I feel like there's a hidden meaning in your words! Could it be that you've been hurt before?"

Li Xunle's expression was wistful, and he shook his head repeatedly:

"I haven't, but my friend did..."

Then his tone changed:

"Forget it, let's not talk about such things!"

He looked at Zhao Hao meaningfully:

"Ri Tian, you need to slowly understand this.

You just need to remember one principle: second-hand things can always have pitfalls!"

Zhao Hao seemed to understand, yet not: "Oh."

Li Xunle took Zhao Hao around, and finally found the weapon everyone was fighting over.

It really was... a sword!

A ten-star weapon, named [Sword of Divinity], dazzling and extremely eye-catching, requiring level 100.

It came with a passive skill: for every level 100 target killed, it would stack 5 Strength points, up to a maximum of 100 stacks.

Its base attributes in all aspects actually reached 1000.

Li Xunle couldn't help but exclaim:

Ten-star is ten-star after all, much stronger than nine-star.

Nine-star swords had attribute bonuses between 600-800, while a ten-star weapon sword's bonus reached 1000+.

The key was that it also had ten attribute gem slots.

A single ten-star attribute gem added 50 points.

Ten gems would add 500.

This meant that a ten-star weapon, with gems inlaid, could have attributes as high as 1500 points.

To put it in perspective, that's enough for Zhao Hao to die 1500 times... And so on, there are other equipment pieces. If they were all ten-star and fully inlaid with ten-star attribute gems... the attributes would be terrifyingly high!

But for Li Xunle, this held little interest.

However.

He still planned to get the best equipment and perfect all the attribute gems eventually.

Since he had the ability, why not?

He was just hesitating whether to add [Intelligence] or [Stamina] to the attribute gems at that time.

After much thought, he might still lean towards adding [Stamina] for now.

Because Stamina included speed.

If what Xia Mo said was true, and the Cosmic Cube might have places that prohibited spatial jumps.

That would mean his teleportation might become ineffective, and then he would have to re-engage sprint mode.

Although he had Immortality, who would choose to get hurt and feel pain if they didn't have to?

As for healing output, a little bit was enough.

Rather than make things difficult for himself, it was better to inconvenience others!

As Li Xunle thought this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. Why did he feel like he was a bit of a Lao Yin Bi?

Would this be a bit too bad?

Just as Li Xunle was deep in thought.

Zhao Hao held a longsword, caressing it with adoration, his mouth split into a wide grin.

This was a ten-star weapon!

He had never dared to even dream of it before, but now he held one in his hand.

He felt like he was dreaming.

So, he fiercely pinched his thigh, wanting to see if it hurt, to confirm whether he was really dreaming.

Huh?

Oh no! It didn't hurt!

The next second.

Li Xunle suddenly let out a shriek:

"Hiss—! Holy sh*t!

Zhao Ri Tian, what the f*ck are you pinching my thigh for?"
