Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 772
Chapter 772: Extraordinary Ability
Chapter 772 – Extraordinary Ability
Due to Thousand Transformations, the temperature in the smithy had increased rapidly. Shi Feng felt as if he stood in the mouth of a volcano.
Despite standing ten yards away from the Flawed Weapon, Shi Feng received tens of damage with each passing second.
If a player with low Fire Resistance stood in his place, they would not last ten seconds. Fortunately, Fire Dance was cocooned deep inside the magic array. She did not receive a single point of damage from the heat. Naturally, Seliora didn’t need to worry about the heat.
“Stand further away!” Seliora reminded Shi Feng with a low command. A bottle of dark-blue liquid then appeared in her hands.
The instant Seliora took out this bottle, the smithy’s temperature decreased significantly.
Shi Feng was still basking in the aftertaste of Seliora’s forging process. However, upon hearing Seliora’s reminder, he ran out of the smithy.
Shi Feng was no stranger to forgers. He was even a famous forger himself.
Although Shi Feng had watched Master Forgers work many times in the past, he had never once witnessed the forging process of a Grandmaster Forger. He had never imagined there was actually such a huge difference between a Master Forger and a Grandmaster Forger. The experience of watching Seliora work had been quite valuable.
Even after ten years, Grandmaster Forgers had still been extremely rare in God’s Domain. Even the Guild Leader of a Super Guild had to treat such an existence with great respect. One could imagine just how high a Grandmaster Forger’s status was.
Initially, Shi Feng had thought that the largest difference between a Master Forger and a Grandmaster Forger was their research and understanding of materials. However, after watching Seliora work, he realized the difference wasn’t just the understanding of materials. A Master Forger could never hope to compare to a Grandmaster’s understanding of divine runes, curses, and magic arrays as well.
It was no wonder why the Master Forgers of Shadow had never reached Grandmaster status, regardless of how hard they had tried. The strength of Grandmaster Forgers was ridiculous.
“Fortunately, I recorded Seliora’s entire recasting process. Afterward, if I show the recording to Melancholic Smile and the others, they might have a better chance of becoming Grandmaster Forgers.” Shi Feng, who waited outside Seliora’s house, could not help smiling.
After Shi Feng had left the house, Seliora opened the deep-blue bottle and poured a single drop of the deep-blue liquid onto the glowing Thousand Transformations. The instant the deep-blue liquid connected with Thousand Transformations, the Flawed Weapon cooled at a visible rate. The smithy also chilled to become a frozen hell.
Although the smithy looked simple, extremely powerful magic arrays strengthened the area. Nothing from the outside world could disturb the house’s interior. Likewise, nothing inside the house could disturb the outside world. Hence, Shi Feng, who stood outside the house, was safe. He could not even sense the drastic changes inside the house.
Only after another half an hour had passed did Seliora call Shi Feng back.
Thousand Transformations had already cooled completely. It was finished. The Flawed Weapon was white as snow. The sword’s blade also emitted a faint glow, looking like a star in the night sky. Despite doing nothing beyond hovering in the air, Shi Feng could feel a frightening power radiating from the short sword.
“Was it a success?” Shi Feng asked curiously.
If it were a success, then the moment Fire Dance equipped the weapon, her Attributes would most likely surpass his by a wide margin. After all, he only had a single Fragmented Legendary item on his person. A complete Legendary item had the power to decimate the heaven and earth. Several Epic items and a Fragmented Legendary item could not compare.
Unfortunately, Seliora shook her head in disappointment and said, “Although I’ve completed the runes on the sword, there are some defects in the original materials. It can only reach Fragmented Legendary rank. If I had the complete Thousand Transformations, it might’ve become a Legendary Weapon.”
Shi Feng expressed his sympathy when he saw Seliora’s disappointment.
Every Grandmaster Forger dreamed of creating a Legendary Weapon of their own. Although Seliora had not been forging an entirely new weapon, only recasting one, if she succeeded, it would be of immense help towards making a Legendary Weapon in the future.
However, he had expected this.
A Legendary Weapon was not easily obtainable. It was not something he would stumble across after completing a single Hidden Epic Quest. A Fragmented Legendary item was the limit. If he wanted to obtain a Legendary Weapon, he would have to complete a Legendary Quest at the very minimum.
If Galaxy Past knew that his death had given Zero Wing an additional Fragmented Legendary item, he would probably die from a heart attack. Shi Feng could imagine just how much effort Galaxy Past had put into obtaining Thousand Transformations. However, it had fallen into Zero Wing’s hands. As for Feather, the future God-ranked Assassin, Shi Feng could only apologize to him.
“Come; test it out,” Seliora said as she turned to Fire Dance, who had been frozen in place throughout this process.
Players could wield and test any weapon in God’s Domain. However, if they did not meet the necessary requirements, they could not use the weapon in battle.
When Fire Dance grasped the hovering Thousand Transformations, she was instantly stunned.
Only after a long moment did she dazedly make a few casual swings. Suddenly, a silver flash appeared in the smithy. Despite only swinging the weapon a few times, it felt as if the silver sword were present throughout the building. Moreover, only the Sacred Sword Killing Ray in Shi Feng’s hands could match this sword’s speed.
So strong! Shi Feng watched the myriad of sword images that filled the space, feeling threatened. Despite being a Void Realm expert, he could not predict the Thousand Transformations’ attack trajectory. He also couldn’t tell which image was real and which image was just an afterimage. They all seemed real and fake at the same time. Is this the true power of Thousand Transformations?
Shi Feng had watched Feather’s battle videos in the past. However, Thousand Transformations had not been this powerful. Although Feather’s attacks with Thousand Transformations had also created numerous sword images, a Refinement Realm expert could, more or less, differentiate the fakes from the real deal. Meanwhile, Shi Feng had already reached the Void Realm, yet, he couldn’t differentiate between the sword images Fire Dance had created. Even though he could feel many of the sword images were fake and were out of sync with Fire Dance’s movements, the pressure these sword images gave off felt very real to him.
“There is a reason why this sword was named the Thousand Transformations. When swung, it can transform its user’s attack into a myriad of forms and confuse the enemy. However, when the opponent attempts to retaliate, they will quickly discover that most of the sword images are fake. Yet, when struck by these fakes, they will receive damage. Thousand Transformations can interchange illusions with reality. It’s a pity that it did not become a Legendary Weapon. It would have been truly magnificent,” Seliora explained, smiling. As she had personally upgraded this weapon to Fragmented Legendary rank, she understood Thousand Transformations like the palm of her hand. “How about it? Do you feel any discomfort while using it?”
Fire Dance was still deeply immersed in the sensation of using Thousand Transformations. Even after Seliora asked her a question, she remained unresponsive.
However, judging from Fire Dance’s current reaction, it was obvious that the weapon fit her like a glove…
“Guild Leader, it feels like this weapon is a part of my body! I can even feel the blade cut across air!” Fire Dance said excitedly as she wielded Thousand Transformations like a favorite toy.
“Of course! This is a Fragmented Legendary Weapon Lady Seliora has personally adjusted for you. It should fit you far better than any other Fragmented Legendary Weapon. You should feel that way,” Shi Feng laughed. “Alright, stop playing with it for now. Thousand Transformations already belongs to you. You have all the time in the world to analyze it. Let me see its Attributes.”
Chapter 773: Strongest Attributes
Chapter 773 – Strongest Attributes
Shi Feng was incredibly curious to see how powerful a Fragmented Legendary Weapon was.
There were quite a number of Fragmented Legendary items in God’s Domain. However, those who had obtained Fragmented Legendary items were not fools. They would not intentionally reveal their item’s Attributes, allowing their opponents an opportunity to guess their strength and discover weaknesses.
Moreover, Fragmented Legendary items that belonged to large Guilds were kept as Guild secrets. They wouldn’t even advertise owning one, much less revealing the item’s Attributes.
Although Shi Feng had been Shadow’s Guild Leader in the past, the Guild had not owned a single Fragmented Legendary item. On the other hand, the Guild had owned quite a few Epic items. However, at the end of the day, an Epic Weapon was only an Epic Weapon. It could never compare to a Fragmented Legendary Weapon.
Hearing Shi Feng’s request, Fire Dance lost her composure. Hurriedly, she sent Shi Feng the Thousand Transformations’ statistics.
“As expected of a Fragmented Legendary Weapon. Compared to this, an Epic Weapon is practically garbage.” Shi Feng’s hands involuntarily trembled when he saw the weapon’s Attributes.

User: Fire Dance
An Epic Weapon could never hope to compare to the Thousand Transformations’ Attributes, much less the Additional Skills.
This weapon was perfect for Assassins.
However, the most impressive aspect of Thousand Transformations was the True Illusion Skill. It was even more amazing than the Full Revival Skill.
Even when a player revived with Full Revival, they would still have to suffer the death penalty and lose a Level. Moreover, the monster they fought would leave combat due to their death. When said player challenged the same monster again, the monster would have recovered to full HP. The player would have to start the battle all over again.
However, True Illusion was different. It could dismiss a player’s death, allowing them to reappear with full HP without needing to lose a Level. Even if one died in mid-battle against a monster, they could reappear and continue fighting immediately.
In PvP, this Skill was even more powerful. In ordinary Duels, this Skill might not be useful as the system would declare the outcome of the battle as soon as a player’s HP fell to 1. In a Death Match, however, the battle would only end after a player had died. In such a situation, True Illusion would take effect, allowing the player to reappear with full HP instantly. The system would not judge the player as the loser, and the battle would continue.
With this Skill, with the survivability of Assassins, it would be near-possible to kill Fire Dance. If one did not have the strength to instant-kill Fire Dance, they would not be able to kill her at all.
Moreover, Thousand Transformations was now a personal weapon. Even if others wanted the Flawed Weapon, they could not steal it from her. Of course, if Fire Dance obtained better equipment, Thousand Transformations would go to waste. There were both pros and cons.
“Can you equip it now?” Shi Feng asked Fire Dance, his excitement evident in his tone.
If Fire Dance could equip Thousand Transformations right now, they would have a much easier time in the Dark Arena. After all, that was a team battle. An individual’s strength was limited.
To prevent monster-like characters from dominating the entire competition, the Dark Arena ran team battles. This way, the outcome was much harder to predict. It was also impossible for one player to carry a battle team to victory.
A battle team was only likely to secure victory if the majority of the members were very powerful.
If Fire Dance equipped Thousand Transformations, it would undeniably increase the Asura Battle Team’s chances of victory.
“My Agility is sufficient. However, I don’t have enough Strength.” Fire Dance was similarly tempted and wished she could equip the new weapon immediately. However, the weapon demanded 700 Strength, and of everyone in Zero Wing, only Shi Feng had met this requirement.
“How far are you from the requirement?” Shi Feng asked.
“I’m short by 133 points,” Fire Dance felt helpless. Unfortunately, she had placed the majority of her Free Attribute Points into Agility. Her Tier 3 Gemstones were also all Agility-types. However, had she not focused on her Agility, she wouldn’t have enough for that requirement either.
“That’s quite a lot.” Shi Feng frowned. If it were only several dozen points, he had some ways to make up for the gap. However, over 100 points was a little too much. Unless she could replace her equipment…”Right, now that you’re Level 38, you should be able to equip the Petrified Thorn! Try!”
The Tier 1 Set Equipment for Assassins, the Dark Melody Set, could decrease the equipment requirement by 3 Levels. The Petrified Thorn could only be equipped at Level 40. As for the other equipment requirements, Fire Dance had fulfilled them long ago. She could equip the Petrified Thorn now.
Being reminded by Shi Feng, Fire Dance hurriedly replaced the Sub-hand Truefire Blade with the Petrified Thorn.
Immediately, her Attributes skyrocketed.
Not only did an Epic Weapon provided more fixed Attributes, but it also increased a player’s Basic Attributes by a fixed percentage after being equipped. Take the Petrified Thorn for example. When equipped, it would increase the wielders’ Strength and Agility by 10%.
Moreover, the Truefire Blade was only a Level 30 Dark-Gold Weapon. How could it possibly compete with a Level 40 Epic Weapon in terms of Attributes?
Sure enough, after Fire Dance equipped the Petrified Thorn, she was only 32 Strength short of reaching 700 points.
Afterward, Shi Feng led Fire Dance to the Candlelight Trading Firm and had her replace some of the Tier 3 Agility Gemstones with Tier 3 Strength Gemstones, instantly pushing her Strength to 700 points. Her Agility remained above 700 as well.
“Test it out,” Shi Feng said. He could not help but laugh at Fire Dance’s slightly nervous expression.
“Mhm.” Fire Dance then replaced her main weapon with Thousand Transformations.
Immediately, Fire Dance’s aura changed massively. The pressure Shi Feng felt from her also increased tremendously. The Assassin now felt like a ferocious beast that had just woken and bared its sharp fangs.
Shi Feng was incomparably excited to see Fire Dance’s strength increase.
Currently, in terms of Basic Attributes, Fire Dance had surpassed him.
“Alright, it’s time to make a trip to the Fire Dragon Empire.” Shi Feng smiled.
