Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 542 Method of Advancing to the Saint Rank
The little skeletons never imagined in their short lives that they would be forced to read.
After receiving the information, Qiao Yu closed his eyes and began to process the chaotic mess.
Fortunately, his intelligence and mental strength had been significantly improved, otherwise, with so much information flooding in at once, his brain would probably explode.
After sorting through everything, Qiao Yu reopened his eyes and sighed softly.
Much of what was in the study was useless, such as the developmental history of Divine Mountain.
Qiao Yu filtered those things out directly.
However, he did find something useful to him: the experiences of the ten elders in advancing to the Saint Realm!
The methods of advancement to the Saint Realm differed for each of the ten, but the one thing they had in common was that they had all killed the World Serpent, Jörmungandr!
The World Serpent, Jörmungandr, is located at the end of the Endless Forest in the Reverse World.
Reaching the peak of the Emperor Realm, filling the experience bar, and successfully soloing Jörmungandr is the fastest way to advance to the Saint Realm.
Advancing to the Saint Realm through other methods requires more sweat and effort, and the effect may not be as good as killing Jörmungandr.
The fundamental reason lies in the gall of the World Serpent, Jörmungandr!
Jörmungandr's gall is like a perfect panacea. Once killed and swallowed, it generates an extremely terrifying power inside the body, propelling the player to successfully step into the Saint Realm.
Of course, you can also take the serpent's gall to increase your level without reaching the peak of the Emperor Realm, but generally, no spendthrift would do that.
And the shorter the time it takes to kill Jörmungandr, the more powerful you will become after advancing to the Saint Realm.
Currently, the fastest kill record in the Reverse World was set by Ji Pingyang three years ago, taking only four minutes and fifty-two seconds.
Ji Pingyang is also the only Saint Realm powerhouse whose kill time is within five minutes.
"World Serpent, Jörmungandr." A glint flashed in Qiao Yu's eyes.
He wasn't far from the peak of the Emperor Realm, and he was also curious how long it would take him to kill the so-called World Serpent, Jörmungandr.
Just then, a Reverse World notification suddenly sounded. It was an official world announcement.
[Congratulations to Magician Yang Xiangdi for breaking the record for killing the World Serpent, Jörmungandr. The new record is 4 minutes and 44 seconds. Reward: 500 free attribute points. We hope other players will continue to work hard.]
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, the exact same official announcement sounded again.
[Congratulations to Swordsman Ma Fei for breaking the record for killing the World Serpent, Jörmungandr. The new record is 3 minutes and 14 seconds. Reward: 500 free attribute points. We hope other players will continue to work hard.]
A gratified smile appeared on Qiao Yu's face, like that of an old father.
It seemed that he wasn't the only one improving. Ma Fei and Yang Xiangdi hadn't been idle during this time either.
Once his matters here were concluded, he would go and meet this World Serpent.
After obtaining what he wanted, Qiao Yu left the study, then directly released Netherworld Fire, burning all the books to ashes.
Anyway, these were all the treasures of Divine Mountain, so he didn't feel bad about burning them.
After burning everything, Qiao Yu walked to another door and kicked it open with a bang.
Compared to the study on the other side, the structure of this room looked much simpler.
There were many shelves on both sides, and some equipment was placed on them.
The grades ranged from F to A. Except for S-grade equipment, everything else was available.
Qiao Yu's eyes lit up at the sight, and he summoned countless little skeletons to move all the equipment into the Undead Space.
Better to have too much than not enough. The Second Elder had said that all these things were his, so what was he being polite for?
Then Qiao Yu walked to the shelves inside, where some strange stones emitting white light were placed.
Qiao Yu frowned slightly, then picked up one of them to examine it.
[Equipment Enhancement Stone]: Used on equipment A-grade and above to enhance it. (Note: If the enhancement fails, the enhancement stone will disappear directly.)
"Good heavens, Second Elder, you're too good to me!"
Qiao Yu's mouth almost split open with laughter. There were about a hundred equipment enhancement stones, enough for him to enhance all the equipment on his body!
No sooner said than done, the first thing Qiao Yu thought of was the Ring of the Nibelung.
As his only S-grade equipment, the Ring of the Nibelung had never been enhanced, and its bonus to him was particularly terrifying.
The fifty-odd percent increase in all attributes meant that the Ring of the Nibelung had played a vital role in Qiao Yu's ability to challenge Saint Realm opponents above his level.
Filled with anticipation, Qiao Yu brought an equipment enhancement stone close to the Ring of the Nibelung.
[Use enhancement stone on the Ring of the Nibelung?]
"Yes!"
Qiao Yu nodded, and the enhancement stone in his hand disappeared, directly turning into a ray of light that merged into the Ring of the Nibelung.
[Ding! Enhancement failed, enhancement stone -1]
Qiao Yu: "?"
Could he really be that unlucky? The first enhancement failed?
Qiao Yu didn't believe in fate and put another enhancement stone on it, but the result was the same. As soon as the enhancement stone disappeared, there was no further development.
"It's okay, it's okay, S-grade equipment must be too strong, so it's not easy to enhance." Qiao Yu was covered in black lines, then took out the Zhulong Crescent Blade.
The enhancement stone once again turned into a ray of light that merged into the Zhulong Crescent Blade.
This time, something different happened. The Zhulong Crescent Blade vibrated slightly, and Qiao Yu clearly felt the joy of the weapon spirit, Zhulong Jiuyin.
Then the aura on the entire Zhulong Crescent Blade suddenly became stronger!
[Ding! Enhancement successful, the current enhancement level of the Zhulong Crescent Blade is A-grade +1]
Qiao Yu grinned, and immediately took out another enhancement stone to put on the Zhulong Crescent Blade.
But his smile immediately froze on his face.
Because it failed again!
Qiao Yu put the enhancement stones on the Zhulong Crescent Blade one by one as if he didn't believe in fate.
[Ding! Enhancement failed, enhancement stone -1]
[Ding! Enhancement failed, enhancement stone -1]
[-1]
……
Qiao Yu kept putting equipment enhancement stones on the Zhulong Crescent Blade like he was possessed, until he couldn't feel anything when he reached out, Qiao Yu stopped.
He then realized that the hundreds of equipment enhancement stones had all been used up.
He then looked at the current enhancement effect of the Zhulong Crescent Blade.
[Zhulong Crescent Blade]:
Grade: A-grade +6
Weapon Spirit: Zhulong Jiuyin (Juvenile)
Effect: The Zhulong Crescent Blade can be switched between the Obscure and Bright states. When the state is Obscure, agility is increased by 80%; when the state is Bright, critical strike chance is increased by 80%.
Enchantment Effect:
Mandarin Duck Blades: Damage to creatures of the opposite sex is increased by 30%.
Aura Blade: Damage to creatures with souls is increased by 130%. Players wielding this weapon generate a natural deterrent to all creatures.
Dragon Might: Creatures related to dragons have their strength reduced by 30% when facing players wielding this weapon.
Although the enhanced Zhulong Crescent Blade was stronger than before, the terrible enhancement probability still made the corners of Qiao Yu's mouth twitch.
Hundreds of equipment enhancement stones only allowed the Zhulong Crescent Blade to be enhanced to +6.
You must know that these hundreds of enhancement stones were all the treasures of Divine Mountain.
What Qiao Yu didn't know was that the stronger the equipment, the lower the probability of successful enhancement. The Zhulong Crescent Blade, a perverted existence that could awaken its weapon spirit before +7, was already blessed by his ancestors to be enhanced to +6 with hundreds of enhancement stones.
"Forget it, forget it, it was all free anyway, so it doesn't hurt."
Qiao Yu took a deep breath, then held the enhanced Zhulong Crescent Blade in his hand, and the weapon spirit, Zhulong Jiuyin, also responded with a joyful cry.
A glint flashed in Qiao Yu's eyes. After the Zhulong Crescent Blade was enhanced, his strength had undoubtedly improved.
"Alright, now there's only one more inheritance left, the S-grade equipment, Void Domain Gate..."
