Chapter 23 Pseudo-Transcendent

Shi Feng had never heard of a quality grade beyond Dark-Gold.

But Seliora, a forging master, said so, so it shouldn't be false. He just didn't know what the attributes of this Scarlet Fire Flying Star were.

"Are you wondering what Pseudo-Transcendent quality is?" Seliora was in a great mood after forging such a masterpiece, so she explained, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Only old monsters at the level of forging grandmasters know about these things. I only heard about it by chance."

"In God's Domain, the next level of weapon and equipment quality after Dark-Gold is indeed Epic, but there is a huge threshold in between. It can be said that there will be a qualitative leap from Dark-Gold to Epic. Don't you think it's strange?"

Shi Feng nodded, deeply agreeing.

Just as Seliora said, Dark-Gold equipment was only slightly stronger than Fine-Gold equipment, but Epic equipment was several levels higher than Dark-Gold equipment. Like Blackie's Mebius's Guardian, it was much stronger than the Silver Lake Light in his hand, which was comparable to Dark-Gold attributes.

Just equipping an Epic weapon instantly gave Blackie stronger output and attack power than him, which was enough to show the power of Epic items.

"It seems you also understand the difference." Seliora smiled and said, "Actually, Epic weapons and equipment have another name."

"Another name?" This was the first time Shi Feng had heard of it.

"That's right, another name. This is what I learned after studying the Book of Forging and the large amount of literature I collected." Seliora nodded. "In ancient times, Epic weapons and equipment were also called Transcendent items. Having them meant possessing absolute power above mortals, so they were called Transcendent. The Scarlet Fire Flying Star I created could never become a Transcendent item because it wasn't made with Transcendent materials, but it can be considered a pseudo-Transcendent."

"Pseudo-Transcendent item?" Shi Feng understood a bit and couldn't help but be more curious about the extent to which the Scarlet Fire Flying Star had reached that made Seliora so happy.

"Take a look for yourself." Seliora handed the Scarlet Fire Flying Star to Shi Feng and said softly, "The so-called pseudo-Transcendent is the limit of power that mortals can reach. It can be said that this Scarlet Fire Flying Star is the closest to a Transcendent item."

Shi Feng was immediately moved upon hearing this. A weapon and equipment close to an Epic item was probably unmatched on his body except for the Demonic weapon, Abyssal Blade. Even the Scarlet Fire Flying Star he obtained in his previous life was only Dark-Gold. He didn't expect to obtain a pseudo-Transcendent item in this life.

Immediately, Shi Feng took the Scarlet Fire Flying Star and checked its attributes.

Scarlet Fire Flying Star, Throwing Weapon, Dark-Gold, Equipment Requirement: 120 Strength, 140 Agility.

Attack Power (value is the player's total strength * 2)

Strength +50, Agility +65, Endurance +10.

Attack Speed +5.

Maximum Throwing Distance: 45 yards.

Ignores monster level by 8, attack speed increased by 15%, 35% chance to ignore defense when attacking, 30% chance to trigger Quadruple Phantom effect, each phantom deals 50% fire damage, 10% chance to trigger knockback effect, 5% chance to trigger Flame Engulfment effect, dealing 200 points of fire damage per second for 10 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.

Attached skill: Wrath of the Flame God, deals physical and fire damage within a range of 40*3 yards, dealing 900% damage to the first target, then decreasing by 10% for each subsequent target, dealing a minimum of 500% damage, cooldown is three minutes.

The Scarlet Fire Flying Star was created by Forging Grandmaster Seliora. Due to material limitations, it is a pseudo-Transcendent item that allows the user to possess the ultimate power of mortals. If Epic fire-attribute materials can be gathered, it can be reforged into an Epic item. Limited to use by player Shi Feng, cannot be dropped, cannot be traded.

Shi Feng was instantly stunned after seeing these attributes. As expected of a pseudo-Transcendent item, it was far from comparable to a Dark-Gold item. As long as the attributes were met, equipping the Scarlet Fire Flying Star would instantly increase his strength by several levels.

After obtaining this Scarlet Fire Flying Star, Shi Feng felt that he was a true swordsman.

The Swordsman class is generally divided into Two-Handed Swordsmen or Dual-Wielding Swordsmen. They can also equip a ranged throwing weapon, but Swordsmen are, after all, melee classes, so they are not very good at ranged attacks, and many players don't pay attention to ranged throwing weapons.

But Shi Feng paid great attention to ranged attacks. After all, dealing with monsters in close combat can be very troublesome. Switching to ranged attacks can make things much easier. Moreover, there are many general skills in God's Domain, including many throwing skills. If he could learn them, he wouldn't be much worse than other ranged classes.

Now that he had the pseudo-Transcendent quality Scarlet Fire Flying Star, it could be said that ranged attacks were no longer Shi Feng's weakness.

Moreover, throwing weapons are not consumables that are used up. Because they are made with magical materials, they can be used infinitely. After attacking an enemy, they will dissipate and reappear in the player's hand, which is very convenient.

Unfortunately, his current attributes are not sufficient to equip it. Only by further improving his equipment can he meet the requirements of the Scarlet Fire Flying Star.

When Shi Feng finished reading the introduction of the Scarlet Fire Flying Star, he was suddenly surprised.

Seliora was originally a forging master, so how did she become a forging grandmaster in the introduction?

"Master Seliora, could it be that you have... become a forging grandmaster?" Shi Feng still looked at Seliora in disbelief. The system's introduction would never be false. If it really said so, then it must be so, but it was still unbelievable that Seliora, who was not yet thirty years old, had become a forging grandmaster.

There wasn't even one forging grandmaster in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom. It could be said that she stood at the peak of forging in God's Domain. Even Tier 5 peak powerhouses had to curry favor with forging grandmasters. Their status was no less than that of a country's ruler. Generally, they could only be seen in the Imperial capitals of empires and places like Blackwing City. And Seliora in front of him was such an existence.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to have such sharp eyes. I just became a forging grandmaster, but I have to thank you for that. If it wasn't for the Book of Forging you lent me, which allowed me to learn a lot of things I had never understood before, I wouldn't have been able to become a grandmaster. As a token of my gratitude, here is my communication crystal. You can use it to contact me at any time in the future." Seliora nodded and smiled.

System: The quest "Finding Seliora" has been greatly over-completed. You helped Seliora become a forging grandmaster, rewarding the player with the pseudo-Transcendent item Scarlet Fire Flying Star, rewarding the item Seliora's Communication Crystal, Seliora's favorability increased by 200 points, Star-Moon Kingdom reputation +50 points, White River City reputation +300 points, obtained the title Friend of the Grandmaster, forging proficiency increased by 500 points, experience reward of 200,000.

Instantly, Shi Feng leveled up to Level 14.

Seeing this series of rewards, Shi Feng was stunned for a long time. Not to mention having Seliora's communication crystal, which would allow him to ask Seliora for help often in the future, the 300 points of reputation in White River City alone made it much easier to buy real estate in White River City. As long as he became a Baron of White River City, he could buy private territory in White River City and build a guild residence, but Barons could only buy land on the outermost edge of White River City.

Seliora had just become a forging grandmaster, so she wanted to travel and find materials for the first Epic item she would forge as a forging grandmaster.

Afterward, Shi Feng left the blacksmith shop.

Seeing that the time was almost up.

Shi Feng put the White River City Guide on the official website forum, set the time to release it three hours later, and then used the Blackwing City通行证 (Tōngxíngzhèng, Pass) to go to Blackwing City.

Not long after Shi Feng left White River City, another group of players stepped into White River City, and the White River City area system announcement sounded.
