Chapter 216: The Unrivaled Sword and the Man-Eating Dragon

A residence of Arya's family in the wealthy area of ​​the imperial capital.

Fang Yi sat on the fluffy bed and began to observe the changes in the [California Clear Light] in his hand.

After the original sword killed the almost corpse-like reincarnation, Fang Yi vaguely felt that the sword emitted a feeling similar to that of a full meal, and became quiet, no longer making the sound when he first saw the "swimming fish".

After getting it, the whole knife changed from being light as before to becoming a bit heavy, and some silver lines appeared faintly on the blade.

After Fang Yi pulled out the knife, he felt a chill coming towards him. When he took a closer look, he could faintly sense the subtle evil spirit emerging from the knife.

In addition to causing physical damage after slashing, this knife also causes magical damage such as evil spirit.

Obviously, anyone who is hit by this knife will suffer a great loss if his physical fitness is not up to standard and he has no method to dispel the evil spirit.

Fang Yi, excited to see the prey, jumped off the bed barefoot, went to the window and couldn't wait to practice his sword skills.

The hazy moonlight shines through the window onto California Clear Light, reflecting a cold and evil light.

He moved his wrist slightly, and the long sword turned into a nimble long snake, leaving behind cold light as it danced. The whole room was immediately shrouded in this cold murderous intent.

As Fang Yi performed his sword skills, even though there was no enemy in front of him and the blade did not touch anything, the evil spirit on the sword spread spontaneously, causing the temperature of the entire room to drop by several degrees, as if an air conditioner running at full capacity had appeared out of nowhere.

After practicing his sword skills and getting familiar with the new weight of the sword, Fang Yi began to carefully study the changes in his [California Clear Light].

The changes in the space authentication panel are telling Fang Yi that this knife is not far from completing its evolution.

【California Clear Light】

Category: Knife
Quality: Level 2 Excellent (Evolving)
Damage: 47-71 (equipment parameters for reference only)
Durability: 77/120
Origin: 'Scavenger' talent unlocks the probability of output in the chain task
Usage conditions: Strength 15, Constitution 18, Spirit 14, Mastery of Swordsmanship lv1
Equipment effect:

【Sharp】：
When facing flesh and blood creatures, it will be easier to break through their defenses and easily cut through the target's flesh and bones.

[Intrusion]:
When facing flesh and blood creatures, hitting the enemy will additionally carry out an evil spirit attack related to intelligence and mental attributes.

【Sturdy】:
When facing spell attacks, the blade will have additional resistance and will not be easily destroyed by spell attacks and lose a lot of durability.

【recover】:
When the durability is higher than 20 points, the durability will be slowly restored over time. Repairing the blade with relevant materials will speed up the durability recovery.

【Man Killer】:
After defeating the enemy with superb sword skills, the evil spirit lingering on the blade will increase. When it accumulates to a certain level, it will cause the equipment to evolve.

Summary:
According to actual records, the sword of the talented swordsman Okita Souji at the end of the shogunate had the word "誠" faintly engraved on the hilt.

It possesses an unstoppable edge, and when drawn, a lingering aura of menace lingers. It is said that after slaying numerous worthy enemies, it will evolve into a legendary saber.

Later, as the swordsman Fang Yi's sword, he killed many powerful enemies and witnessed his [great deeds].

The blade has experienced high-frequency vibrations due to techniques many times and has lost a lot of durability. After absorbing valuable materials and killing powerful enemies, its performance may become stronger before evolution.

Evaluation:

Among the billions of people who have received this knife, perhaps only such a knife can accompany its user to this point today.

"Stand out from the crowd" is the most appropriate evaluation of the knife and its user.
-
Obviously, the performance of [California Clear Light] has made a leap, from an ordinary space-grade equipment to a small top-grade equipment that is almost a step away from epic quality.

The numerical change in lethality went directly from (21-32) to (47-71), a huge increase.

The original ambiguity on the knife did not bring about enough amplification to allow the space to display several special effects described in the entry, but it also produced some enhancements, which was considered to be officially recognized by the reincarnation space.

Perhaps the crafting technology of [Servant's Tools] or even [Imperial Tools] in this world can further enhance this sword before it evolves.

Obviously, after Fang Yi obtains the approval of the [Minister], he can try to explore the branch task of [Module·Alchemy] in the Empire and seek solutions to strengthen this knife.

Stroking the extremely powerful sword in his hand, Fang Yi felt itchy. At this moment, he really hoped that an enemy would appear before him so that he could test the sword.

[Now that the knife is sharp, I need a hard enough wooden stake for me to chop.]

After playing with this sword that had made a huge leap forward and satisfying his sword addiction, Fang Yi began to study the secret method of [Refining Armor into the Body] that he had obtained.

[Enemy's Respect] faithfully played its role, allowing such a skill to appear on Fang Yi's skill panel.
-
【Refining Armor into the Body】(Incomplete)

Skill category: Special skills

Skill effect:
1. Users can offer their own flesh and blood to armor and items, or use evil spirits to perform sacrifices, thereby improving their performance and compatibility with the user.

2. After refining the equipment many times to improve its compatibility with the human body, you can try to use [Unknown Skill] to slowly assimilate parts of the armor into part of the human body and manifest them at will.

[The following skill effects cannot be displayed due to lack of knowledge related to the skills]

Conditions of Use:

1. When skill effect 1 is activated, the user's physical attribute must be no less than 20 points, the spirit attribute must be no less than 15 points, and the user's qi and blood must be full.

2. When activating skill effect 2, the compatibility of the sacrificial equipment must not be lower than 80%. The higher the compatibility, the better the assimilation effect.

[The following usage conditions cannot be displayed due to lack of knowledge about the skills]

caveat:

When using [Refine Armor into Body], you can only refine one armor item into your body.

Summary:
It is best for beginners to try to refine some pieces of armor into part of the body first, and then consider refining the entire armor into the human body.

Of course, before you refine the armor into your body, you must first make sure that it is very similar to you, otherwise you will be courting death.

Evaluation:

Skills that lack a lot of relevant knowledge may cause certain obstacles to the skill users.

Fang Yi looked at this skill with some surprise.

[Enemy's Respect] is really effective in getting free enemy skills.

Fang Yi originally thought that he would only gain some knowledge related to the [Refining Armor into the Body] skill, which was far from the level of skills that would lead to spatial certification.

He had already prepared it just like the half copy of the White Eyebrow Fist Manual he had picked up from the ruins of the martial arts gym.

You need to acquire other knowledge on your own and deduce and complete this skill into your own original skill before you can fully utilize it.

But now that the skill of space certification has emerged, it means that I can start refining directly.

Following the knowledge he had acquired, Fang Yi took out a fragment of [Haunted by Evil Spirits] and began to prepare for the first ritual.

He planned to practice with the fragments first, and learn the techniques of sacrifice and refining them into the human body.

However, when he picked out two smaller fragments, he found that the skill indicated that the two fragments had a very different degree of compatibility between '20%' and '70%'.

Fang Yi realized that he might be able to change his thinking on using this skill.

[Since this skill is incomplete, relying on the original method to practice is inefficient, it is better to use my ideas directly.]

[As long as the effect is good enough, then my [Refining Armor Into the Body] is the right method! ]

Fang Yi immediately decided to practice [Refining Armor into the Body] in reverse according to his own inspiration.

*
Fang Yi first picked out the fragment with the lowest degree of compatibility, drew a magic circle and directly activated [Bloody Alchemy], using the effect of decomposing materials that came with alchemy.

As the remaining lifespan decreased, the magic circle suddenly lit up and efficiently separated the rare metal called [Ohari Steel] from the [Evil Ghost] fragments.

After [Ohari Steel] separated into a silver irregular object, the fragment of [Evil Ghost] in Fang Yi's hand took on the texture of flesh and blood of a living creature.

It was obviously part of the body material of the dangerous dragon-like species named Tyrandedar, whose will was still there.

After Fang Yi held the fragment and activated [Refining Armor into the Body] again, he found that the degree of compatibility had increased to 90%, which had reached the requirement for refining it into the human body.

As Fang Yi began to refine the fragment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

His inspiration for "reverse training" came from the reincarnationist named "Youyu".

'Youyu' also took a shortcut when using this skill. He used armor made from corpses with a high initial compatibility as the material for [Refining Armor into the Body].

Fang Yi naturally followed the instructions and chose to improve the initial compatibility of the armor of the target of the sacrifice.

However, he directly used violent methods to separate the rare metal [Ohari Steel] commonly used in making [Imperial Equipment], leaving only dangerous materials to improve the compatibility.

The effect was also gratifying. In just a moment, Fang Yi had processed several fragments of [Evil Ghost Haunted] and began to try to practice with a fragment.

However, before the fragments gradually assimilated into the body, Fang Yi's [Tiger Roaring Golden Bell·Revised (Incomplete)] which had already become an instinct in his body started to work on its own, directly stealing the love and bypassing the [Refining Armor into the Body] skill to absorb the fragments of [Evil Ghost Haunting] first.

At the same time, the reminder sound of the reincarnation space rang in Fang Yi's ears.

[Affected by [Diligent Learning] and the skill [Armor Refining], your skill [Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Cover - Modified] is undergoing unknown changes.] [This change may produce additional characteristics, please continue to try.]

Fang Yi stared at the several fragments of [Haunted by Evil Spirits] in his hand, speechless.

Apparently, the minor fragment in Fang Yi's hand was too small, and was directly consumed as a dangerous item such as flesh and blood.

[It seems that using [Refined Armor] will have to wait until Brand is cured and the main fragment of [Haunted] is obtained.]

Seeing the characteristics of the reincarnation space, Fang Yi made up his mind and directly used [Refining Armor into the Body] and [Tiger Roaring Golden Bell·Modified] to refine all the fragments together to improve the skill level.

After several minutes of "effort", Fang Yi finally obtained this trait.
-
【Man-eating Dragon】 (Unfinished)
Trait Effect 1:

Your body digests blood, flesh, and supplementary consumables faster, and your body recovers faster.

Trait Effect 2:

Your affinity towards dragon creatures, creatures with dragon bloodline, dragon protection, and dragon traits increases, making it easier to gain their favor.

Trait Effect 3:

Your physical strength is slightly increased, your energy is slightly improved, your ability to withstand attacks is slightly improved, and your spell resistance is slightly improved.

Constitution attribute +2, Strength attribute +1.

Summary:
It is not strange for a dragon to become a part of a human body. It is said that if someone possesses a red dragon's heart as a magic furnace core, his strength will greatly increase.

Tyrandedar, a dragon-like creature that can barely be considered a loach, can only provide these improvements that are better than nothing.

Evaluation:

You have taken on some of the qualities of a dragon, but you are still human.

Perhaps you can make this trait even stronger as you assimilate more of the dragon-like creature's flesh and blood into your own body.
-
Obviously, the synergy between [Refined Armor into the Body] and [Tiger Roaring Golden Bell·Modified], combined with the armor materials separated from [Bloody Alchemy], produced an effect that Fang Yi had not expected.

After acquiring this trait, in addition to the physique which had become 22 points and the strength which had become 19 on the panel, Fang Yi obviously felt that his body had more energy, and his own body-refining skills had a faster training speed, which had reached 15 times the speed of ordinary people.

The skill [Tiger Roaring Golden Bell·Modified] has also been successfully upgraded to [lv2], and the effect of this skill has also undergone new changes.

It changed to "Moderately increase the body's resistance to physical attacks, slightly increase the body's recovery speed, slightly increase the body's explosive power, and slightly increase stamina."

Seeing that the distance to [lv3] was less than 8000 points and the point consumption was insufficient, Fang Yi felt that he was not far from obtaining the attributes provided by the horizontal training technique.

At the same time, he discovered that the somewhat incomplete skill [Refining Armor into the Body] had many similarities with the [Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Cover·Modified] that he had been deducing.

Perhaps after gaining more knowledge and skills in body refining from Brand, Zhu Tian, ​​and even Bud and Esdeath, he can try to create a technique that best suits him.

After counting the harvest, Fang Yi returned to bed and fell into a sound sleep.

He has an interview and a meeting with the [Minister] waiting for him tomorrow, so he needs to rest.
-
Before dawn, in the imperial capital, a stronghold of the revolutionary army.

Goziqi looked at the nine miserable corpses in front of him and felt a little displeased.

He questioned the spy beside him.

"According to the intelligence sent by the insider, isn't there a female Imperial Weapon User from Oberg in this Revolutionary Army squad?

"Now, where are the people?"

The usually calm Gozizi had obvious anger on his face as he pointed at the spy in front of him and lectured him.

"Didn't you promise before the siege that not even a fly could fly out of here?
"Where's that [Imperial Tool User] now? Did he turn into a fly and fly away?
"Should I mobilize all these troops tonight just for these nine ordinary people?"

Gozizi punched the counter, feeling even more annoyed.

The 'closing net' operation he planned tonight against the revolutionary army was postponed because Fang Yi encountered the [Death in the Mist].

Now, they had inexplicably missed the "big fish" of the [Imperial Tool User], which basically meant that they had no gains tonight.

He became increasingly anxious and even a little uneasy.

[Fang Yidu, who hasn't officially joined us yet, killed an Imperial Weapon User tonight, while I gained nothing.]

[This battle report will be delivered to the [Minister] tomorrow. What will the [Minister] think after reading it?]

Gozizi, who was familiar with the [Minister], naturally knew the answer.

[This will make me appear incompetent and lower my reputation in the eyes of the [Minister].]

Because the [Minister] does not hate ambitious people, but hates incompetent people.

Gozizi shuddered at the thought, glanced at the spies around him, and roared.

“What are you standing here for?
"Go and investigate, dig three feet deep to find that [Imperial Tool User] for me!

"Do you still want me to teach you how to do things?
“You guys are such a bunch.”

While Goziqi was scolding the spy, he did not notice that a wild cat was slowly sneaking out of the stronghold behind him.

The wild cat stared at Gozizi for a moment with hatred in its eyes, memorized the man's face in its mind, and then quietly left.

*
Half an hour later, in front of the base of [Oberg], the wild cat moved around for a while and then turned into a girl with flames of hatred in her pupils.

She knocked on the door of [Oberg] according to the code and explained her purpose to the man she met.

"It's me, Chelsea.

"There must be a traitor in the revolutionary army's base. Everyone in my team died except me.

“Also, I saw the man named [Gozizi].

“In order to train our [Barbara], I must kill him. I need help.

"Can you contact the new member named Fang Yi who arrived in the imperial capital and gained command of the organization?"

After mentioning Fang Yi, Chelsea found that a crow holding half a flute appeared in front of her.

Then the crow spoke.

“Lord Fang Yi has a plan to kill Goziqi, please do not act rashly.

"I will convey your request to Lord Fang Yi after he wakes up, and pass on Lord Fang Yi's instructions to you.

"Now please be patient."

Chelsea stared at the crow in front of her, nodded suspiciously, and then asked.

"Are you also a [Teigu User] with the ability to transform like me?"

The 'Intelligent Crow' Yajiu raised his head and proudly replied, "Wrong! I am Lord Fang Yi's crow, the kind that is organized by the Shinsengumi."

Chelsea's eyes lit up and she asked.

"[Shinsengumi]? Is that the organization that [Mist Death God] belongs to, and that espouses the motto of 'returning evil with evil'?

"Are you still hiring?"

Yajiu glanced at Chelsea and said disdainfully, "Recruiting new members? Wait for the notice!"

Then, he flapped his wings with a proud look on his face, and flew away, leaving Chelsea, who was fascinated by the Shinsengumi, behind.
-
The next day, the mansion that was called a residence was actually a prison.

Yuan Qi stared at the newspaper in front of him. He was a little angry and embarrassed after reading a report.

Now that he is under surveillance and not free in order to gain the trust of the [Minister Camp], newspapers are his only channel to obtain information from the outside world.

Therefore, he has to read newspapers every day to understand and extract information.

And now, he was once again deceived by the "shocking" news fabricated by Fang Yi.

　5k, I found that 8k was not enough to write the rest of the story, so I just divided it like this.

　　In addition, there are bad people among the crowd. Yesterday, he wrote a short pornographic description and was reported.
