That night, Bai Yunfei sat cross-legged on the bed with the Bloodhowl Fang in hand and his mind solely concentrated on upgrading it.
This would be the very first time he was able to upgrade an equipment at the level of Artifact, so Bai Yunfei didn’t dare to be sloppy about it. Who knows whether or not during the upgrade that it would behave in a similar pattern to a Rare or Legacy item.
But it had been smooth sailing for now. The things that Bai Yunfei was worried about had never come to past. Aside from a few wasted soulforce and the lower probability of the upgrade being successful, nothing unexpected had happened, allowing Bai Yunfei to upgrade the item all the way to +10.
“Equipment quality: Low-grade Artifact.”
“Upgrade level: +11.”
“Attack power: 2257.”
“Additional attack power: 1263.”
“+10 additional effect: When attacking, there is a 30% chance of causing “Intimidation”, forcing the opponent’s total attributes to drop 20% for 10 seconds.”
“Upgrade requirements: 113 soulpoints.”
Bai Yunfei wiped at his head with his left hand in exhaustion. “An Artifact tier equipment is not that easy to upgrade. To just upgrade it to +10, I’ve already failed six times and wasted around 2500 soulpoints. I’m almost at my limit, so that must mean the amount of soulpoints I have as a middle Soul Sprite would be around 3000 or so….”
“Any equipment above the Rare tier would have roughly half the original attack power as an additional attack power when it’s +10. Does that mean all soul items are this way? It’s sad that I don’t have much contact with many soul items or any way to test it. Plus, I don’t dare continue to upgrade them! The dangers are too much, and if I fail now, then I wouldn’t even have two sticks to rub together. The Firetipped Spear and bracer were upgrade by luck. It’s too bad there won’t be a second chance of having that happen again….”
Bai Yunfei tilted his head to look at the Bloodhowl Fang with some satisfaction, “It has more than half its original attack power now, I wonder if big brother Hong Yin will be happy with this? The additional effect isn’t bad either. Thirty percent is already pretty high, and dropping the opponent’s overall attributes by twenty percent, does that mean their speed and strength? With big brother Hong Yin having such a superior strength, combined with this effect, then….he’d be able to control victory itself!”
Putting away the Bloodhowl Fang, Bai Yunfei thought for a moment before taking out the crimson bracer.
“The +10 additional effect I’ve already tested when battling Zhang Zhengshan. Its effect was extremely unusual and basically meant that I was able to borrow my opponent’s strength for my own attack. Combining defense and offense together, I was able to flip the tides of battle around unexpectedly! This +12 ‘flame winged dagger’ is something I haven’t tried before. It consumes soulpoints upon activation? Does that mean….”
