Ion beam turrets, Bai Ye was quite satisfied.
Besides being excellent in themselves, Bai Ye was also happy to see an old acquaintance from his previous life.
However, Bai Ye was not very pleased with the randomly obtained golden item.
Dugu Nine Swords Fragment (Martial Art) (Gold): The supreme martial art created by the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai, this is the first move of the fragment.
Effect: Sword Breaking Stance (This move can break all swords in the world)
...
A golden quality martial art, and a fragment at that, was no longer just a martial art, but a super-quality ultimate skill.
But with super-quality, as everyone understood, a complete version was invincible, while a fragment was worse than ordinary golden quality.
Taking Dugu Nine Swords as an example, it was absolutely the top martial art, with a total of nine moves: Sword Breaking, Saber Breaking, Spear Breaking, Whip Breaking, Rope Breaking, Palm Breaking, Arrow Breaking, and Qi Breaking.
Once mastered, all weapons in the world could be broken, and even the Qi Breaking move could counter the inner energy of other martial arts. It was simply monstrous.
But the problem was precisely here, it was only a fragment, and currently, it could only break swords. It wasn't that impressive.
Bai Ye pondered over this item and decided not to learn it.
Learning it would be meaningless, but not learning it meant it could be traded. If he could somehow gather the complete set someday, he would definitely learn it.
He tossed the item into his inventory, placing it alongside the Sunflower Manual, which required self-mutilation, and Bai Ye felt a little better.
At least the Dugu Nine Swords fragment had one move, Sword Breaking.
Damn it, that Sunflower Manual fragment was so fragmented that it only required him to mutilate himself, completely lacking any martial art component. The so-called fragment meant mutilating oneself, which was truly despair.
The remaining two items were the main event. Although they also involved randomness, Bai Ye could specify the category.
Bai Ye looked at his bare chest and decisively said, "Armor."
The Black Order uniform, a bit of a pity, yet not entirely so.
Bai Ye didn't really need the Black Order uniform. He hadn't used it much since he got it.
However, the primary function of the Black Order uniform was as a credential for the Black Order, enabling access to several restricted zones.
It was even directly linked to a large restricted zone: the Millennium Earl!
But the Black Order zones couldn't be entered freely. One had to encounter a member of the Black Order first, and the key to this was a letter of introduction, along with the Black Order uniform.
Bai Ye had obtained the uniform, but he kept running into non-native Black Order members, leaving him helpless. Now that it was destroyed, it was perhaps fate.
But he couldn't go around naked; he needed something to wear.
After a moment...
"You have obtained Weapon/Armor: Fury of the Ocean Scale."
The ocean's mockery seeped into every drop of water along the currents.
Gales howled from all directions, and a dark night leaped from the sea.
Those floating in the water would be enveloped by the wind, drifting helplessly, as they had been countless times before.
Until one day...
Blazing golden light descended from the heavens, striking the ancient, unchanging ocean!
The gales howled mournfully, and the surging waves suddenly calmed.
That golden halberd cleaved through the sea.
Thus, this sea had a master.
People called him...
The King of All Seas!
Fury of the Ocean Scale (Weapon) (Armor) (Gold): A weapon and armor materialized from the soul of a sea beast, a symbol of the King of All Seas. From today onwards, if you do not submit to the abyss, you shall fight until death!
Effects:
King of All Seas (The surrounding waters shall fear their king, and you shall move unimpeded in the sea.)
Sea Soul (When fighting in the sea, you can manipulate seawater for combat. The amount of seawater manipulated and its attack power depend on your spiritual power.)
Ocean Breaker (With the halberd blade materialized from the sea beast's soul, you can cleave through the sea with thrice the power when used in the water.)
Oceanic Power (When fighting in the sea, you can absorb oceanic power, continuously healing injuries and possessing limitless stamina.)
Lost Ruins (Summon the lost ancient ruins city from the sea as your domain for combat. All physical attributes are increased by 20% except for intelligence. If summoned in the sea, physical attributes are further increased by 10%, Sea Soul and Oceanic Power effects are increased by 30%, and all enemy targets within the domain have their physical attributes reduced by 15%. Duration: 30 minutes.)
Bai Ye looked at the screen, feeling utterly dejected.
Golden quality items certainly never disappointed.
Although Bai Ye had requested armor, the armor and the golden halberd materialized by Fury of the Ocean Scale were a set, serving as both weapon and armor, so Bai Ye felt he had profited.
Secondly, the effects of Fury of the Ocean Scale were simply incredible.
There was no need to say more; these were the effects expected of golden quality.
If he had to rank it, Bai Ye rated it as mid to lower-tier among golden quality items, but very close to mid-tier.
However, damn it, almost all these effects could only be fully utilized in the sea!
Bai Ye felt like he was going crazy.
This was practically forcing him to go frolic in the ocean!
On land, this item's power would be greatly reduced, to a point where it might not even qualify as red quality.
Although Ocean Breaker could be used, the three-fold power in the sea...
Lost Ruins, a domain ability, was what delighted Bai Ye the most, but...
The difference between summoning the Lost Ruins in the sea versus on land...
Bai Ye felt like crying!
Furthermore, even the armor aspect, Bai Ye was very dissatisfied with. During combat, it was understandable, but wearing a full set of armor in everyday life would be extremely uncomfortable.
However, this was a minor issue.
He could always use the Steel Slime to materialize clothes for daily wear and switch to the armor during combat, but the problem still remained that its effects were best in the sea.
Still, the item was already obtained, and he had to accept it, however unsatisfactory.
Moreover, looking at the bright side, maybe someday he would go to the sea for filming.
Bai Ye took a deep breath. He had one more choice, and he had already made up his mind.
"Enhancement!"
Bai Ye decisively made his choice.
True power always stemmed from oneself. Whether it was armor, weapons, magic items, or any other magical artifact, nothing was as substantial as one's own strength.
Therefore, only abilities that affected oneself were the most valuable. This was undeniable.
Of course, there were many ways to become stronger: martial arts, daoist arts, magic, physical enhancement, physical mutation, the categories were too numerous.
But Bai Ye used the method of elimination.
Martial arts might result in fragments.
Daoist arts and magic were similar. Moreover, these two were more complex, involving the five elements and elemental weaknesses. Different daoist arts and magic might not necessarily suit him.
As for physical enhancement and physical mutation...
This was what Bai Ye desired the most. Nothing was more tangible than physical attributes.
