My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 296: Blood Soul Ring Ascended

Thunder flames shot up into the sky, incinerating the Evil Demon that seemed to threaten to destroy the Divine Wood Forest under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

At this time, Li Rui was descending from the sky, caught by the Giant Force.

"No wonder, I felt that the Divine Wood Forest wasn’t that difficult. Turns out, the best rewards come from defeating such a boss." He thought to himself.

In fact, there wasn’t much of an issue. This large forest was essentially a Demon Country, requiring coordination of various relationships to unlock the boss, whether through conquest or alliance. Otherwise, even forced entry into the tree hollow filled with Evil Qi would mean facing countless minions while fighting the big boss.

"I wonder if Brother Gui and the others could manage it?" He thought involuntarily, while climbing back onto the shoulder of the Giant Force.

Looking down, he saw all the Demons surrounding in a circle, bowing down like they were witnessing the arrival of a deity.

"Everyone, rise, rise."

Li Rui impatiently waved his hand, "Find someone to search the ashes under that tree, see if there’s anything unusual, then bring it to me."

The other Demons didn’t dare say anything extra, immediately dispatching their most capable subordinates to search the ruins piled with tree fragments.

Before long, a large tray was placed in front of Li Rui, containing six walnut-sized crystals, five of which were lustrous red, and one transparent.

Besides that, there was also a complex wooden object that looked like a Kongming Lock pieced together.

"Grand General, besides this, there are only fragments of the shattered Divine Wood in the pit."

After the giant tree was shattered by the Evil Qi, its location sunk into a large pit, with the original Evil Qi winds and bones absorbed by the boss into its body, then turned to ash in Community Thunder.

Li Rui picked up one of the red crystals and saw the description.

[Attribute Point Essence.]

[Effect: Use to gain 10 free attribute points.]

Honestly, he really liked such simple yet amazing things.

Five red crystals, fifty attribute points, equivalent to a ten-star Secret Realm.

"And this one..."

He picked up the colorless, transparent crystal.

[Skill Point Essence.]

[Effect: Use to gain 2 skill points.]

Good, good, good.

Li Rui used all these crystals but kept some skill points in reserve.

Currently, he could enhance three skills: Mist Flow Control, White Bone Wandering Body Staff, and Poisoned Blade. The first was unnecessary for now, and the latter two were of lower quality. Who knew what better skills this Secret Realm might offer, so no need to rush.

After allocating the attribute points, he picked up the complex wooden object.

[Divine Wood Knot Lock.]

[Category: Special.]

[Effect: Upgrade equipment below Legendary quality by one tier.]

"...."

Li Rui confirmed repeatedly, realizing it said one tier, not one level, meaning Rare becomes Epic, Epic becomes Legendary.

If the Divine Wood hadn’t already turned to fragments, he would bow to Brother Shu.

So generous!

No wonder it’s said that treasures are abundant in the Secret Realm battles, where legends are often seen, even myths, with such high gold content.

When equipment quality improves, the number of traits also changes. Any person with a sound mind would unconditionally choose to upgrade a piece of Epic Level equipment.

And Li Rui hardly needed to hesitate. His Epic Level gear, like armguards and leggings, followed standard damage resistance points, but the Blood Soul Ring was different, since it had an innate skill that increased damage by 100%.

As for the side effect of increasing received damage, Li Rui simply didn’t consider it, since the administrator’s coat was strong, it could handle it.

Thus, he eagerly used it.

[Equipment quality upgrade successful.]

[You have new equipment.]

Li Rui hurriedly checked his inventory.

[Blood Soul Ring.]

[Item Level: 45.]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Attributes: Physique +20, Spirit +20, Corrosion +20 (unusable).]

[Effect 1: Increases spell damage by 15%.]

[Effect 2: Increases poison attribute damage by 15%.]

[Effect 3: Boosts Blood Evil Sect skills by 10%.]

[Active skill — Dance on the Blade’s Edge: Increases all received damage by 70%, increases all dealt damage by 150%, duration 10 seconds, cannot end early. Cool down time 3 hours, unshared inside and outside Secret Realm.]

[Eternal: Yes.]

Generally speaking, Rare equipment has one trait (effect or skill), Epic two, Legendary three, of course, depending on the quality of traits, numbers can fluctuate.

For example, the lighting ability of the Blue Silver Lamp Ring, despite being a skill, is of lower quality, so although it’s Rare, it still possesses another trait to enhance Thunder Attribute damage.

Conversely, something like Community Thunder Fire Bell, possessing two extraordinary abilities, would reduce the number of traits but remains powerful.

Without considering specific content, the upgraded Blood Soul Ring is an exceptional Legendary piece because it has four traits with substantial values, and one of those is a powerful active skill.

The problem is that the Blood Evil Sect skill effect and the Corrosion attribute cannot be used, making Li Rui feel a bit urgent.

"I need to reroll the traits."

Li Rui knew that the Secret Realm battlefield could produce items to change item traits, and Secret Realms above level 50 also could, but this place certainly had a higher probability.

He felt that Legendary items were hard to come by, so since he possessed one, he should strive to perfect it to avoid regret.

In actuality, such a thought is somewhat extravagant.

Even those top experts in the Extraordinary World, possessing several Legendary items, find it challenging to ensure every trait is useful to them.

After deciding, he compared the changes brought by upgrading this equipment.

Spell damage boost increased from 5% to 15%, and a poison damage trait was added, compatible with the Poisoned Blade.

Most importantly, Dance on the Blade’s Edge, which previously could only be used once per Secret Realm, had become a skill with a cooldown period, which was extremely crucial.

It’s worth noting that the Epic Level item Great Void Wind-Thunder Talisman could only achieve a 100% skill damage boost, while the Blood Soul Ring lasted 10 seconds.

It’s like the skill is an infinitely usable enhanced Epic item, and if the negative effects were removed, it could even rival Legendary items, but unfortunately, it couldn’t.

Li Rui tallied his gains from the Divine Tree: a vast number of attribute points, two skill points, a Legendary item, and a Legendary upgrade material.

The best part was, he acted swiftly enough that he didn’t encounter other faction’s Secret Realm agents, only overcame local inhabitants’ obstacles, and scooped up everything almost with no omission.

Next, he instructed his people to begin post-disaster reconstruction while calling Yuan Ju.

"Have the Rabbit Demon clan’s scouts investigate the northern perimeter of the Divine Wood Forest. If they find any foreign clues, report back to me immediately."

Yuan Ju said sternly, "Sir, just now there was word from northern tribes that foreigners took advantage of their camp’s vulnerability to raid, looting all stored treasures."

Li Rui was furious, but then thought, what if they were companions from Dragon Country?

"You stay here to oversee the reconstruction. I’ll go and take a look myself."
