Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

What happened next left Nan Longyue and all the crew members speechless and unforgettable.

Chen Xu held a black spear, his figure hovering above the raging sea and dense schools of fish.

Seeing the swarms of silver knife fish tearing at him, Chen Xu showed no fear, only a thirst for his spoils.

He swung his gun with one arm and charged directly at the school of fish.

The black spear in his hand seemed to transform into a destructive black ray.

Wherever the gun went, large numbers of silver knife fish exploded into a mass of blood and flesh.

Chen Xu completely abandoned his defenses, allowing the sharp silver knife fish to tear open his flesh, leaving streaks of blood.

Faced with such a massive school of fish, any defensive measures would be rendered useless.

Strangely, his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's even faster than the speed at which a silver knife fish bites.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the originally gray-black sea surface had turned into a scarlet red.

Fish carcasses covered the sea surface, rolling and churning with the giant waves.

On the merchant ship, the guards were all deathly pale.

Nan Longyue also leaned on the ship's side, gazing at the figure in the center of that sea of ​​blood with eyes full of awe.

This senior... actually takes pleasure in killing, could he be a demonic cultivator?

Such terrifying regenerative power reminded her of a top-tier demonic force in the Meteorite Sea...

At this moment, Chen Xu stopped what he was doing.

He raised his hand and waved it, collecting all the fallen demon cores into his storage bag.

His gaze then fell on the seven phantom treasure chests in front of him, and he was overjoyed.

Although after Foundation Establishment, the probability of a Qi Refining stage target dropping loot is extremely low.

But the sheer number of silver knife fish was overwhelming; Chen Xu roughly estimated that he had killed at least twenty to thirty thousand.

There are nearly a hundred silver knife fish in the foundation-building stage.

Chen Xu was already quite satisfied with the seven loot items that had dropped.

He then swayed and returned to the deck.

Nan Longyue and her guards didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Chen Xu ignored the reactions of the surrounding cultivators and went into his room.

After sitting cross-legged, he took out the mysterious jade slip again and continued to study the "Pingnan Taiyi Spear Technique".

Meanwhile, in a cave in the Dark City.

Chen Xu's true form suddenly opened his eyes.

He rubbed his hands together excitedly, his heart filled with anticipation, and opened the seven phantom treasure chests without hesitation.

In an instant, the seven phantom chests vanished, transforming into seven different pieces of loot:

[Training Dummy], [Secondary Copyer], [Masterpiece Upgrader].

[Copier]: Can copy all loot.

【Golden Shovel】: Can be combined with any outfit to create a random emblem.

(Two golden shovels can be combined to create the Golden Shovel Crown. When equipped, it adds an equipment slot and grants a random quality spirit stone daily.)

[Basic Equipment Forging Tool]: Opening this tool will randomly grant you one basic equipment piece.

[Complete Equipment Forging Tool]: Opening this tool will randomly grant you one piece of completed equipment.

Chen Xu looked at the seven spoils of war before him and his breath hitched slightly.

I didn't expect to get so many new loot this time.

His gaze first fell on the [Secondary Copyer], and with a slight thought, he tried to copy the other spoils of war.

After trying it out, except for [one training dummy].

You can only copy the [Basic Equipment Forger] and the [Golden Shovel].

Without hesitation, he immediately copied a [Basic Equipment Forging Tool].

Because the crown that requires two gold spatulas to craft is simply too useless.

I don't have much equipment to begin with, so adding an equipment slot won't improve my strength for the time being.

You receive one spirit stone of random quality every day, even if Chen Xu is given a top-quality spirit stone now.

Trading it would only attract covetous eyes and create unnecessary trouble.

Using it for absorption and cultivation is far less efficient than taking pills.

At this moment, Chen Xu's mind stirred again, and he activated two [Basic Equipment Forging Devices], which transformed into two random pieces of equipment:

【Tears of the Goddess】: Restores 1% of your spiritual power per second.

[Recurve Bow]: Increases attack speed by 10%.

Chen Xu tried equipping the two individual items on himself.

With a thought, the two individual pieces transformed into a stream of light and flowed into Chen Xu's body.

No physical objects appeared, but he could clearly feel his spiritual power slowly recovering on its own.

At the same time, the way his arms moved seemed lighter and more agile.

However, you can only equip a maximum of three individual or complete pieces of equipment, but you can remove and replace them at any time.

The [Tears of the Goddess] and [Recurve Bow] can be combined to create a finished item called [Void Staff].

Its effects include a 35% increase in damage and a 10% increase in attack speed, as well as a 1% increase in mana regeneration per second.

However, once combined, it seems impossible to disassemble it back into individual parts.

After a moment's thought, Chen Xu did not choose to synthesize.

This increase seems considerable, but it's not suitable for him, nor for Xiao Jin and the Rat Changsheng.

Why not combine that individual piece with the gold spatula and see what kind of emblem you can get?

With this in mind, he combined the [Tears of the Goddess] and the [Golden Spatula].

The moment they came into contact, they transformed into a brand new dark gold emblem phantom.

[Spirit Devouring Emblem]: When equipped, it can devour corpses and convert them into one's own cultivation.

"..."

Looking at the [Spirit Devouring Emblem] floating in front of him, Chen Xu admitted that he was somewhat tempted.

But he is now equipped with the emblem and cannot remove it.

After some thought, he decided that giving the emblem to Shu Changsheng would be a good idea.

If the rats can produce and consume their own medicine, then it won't be a waste of the elixir...

Chen Xu first placed the emblem into the shared storage space, then turned his attention to the other spoils of war.

Their gaze shifted to the other spoils of war.

Chen Xu used the [Copier] almost without hesitation to directly copy the [Masterpiece Upgrader].

He now has two cultivation techniques that need to be upgraded.

The first is the main cultivation technique "Qing Yuan Jue", and the second is the beast-taming technique "Yu Shou Tong Ling Jue".

The growth potential of the "Qingyuan Technique" is directly related to the improvement of one's own strength.

The previous binding of the [Growth Mindset] had already made its spiritual awareness far surpass that of others of the same level. If it can be upgraded again, its potential will be immeasurable.

The "Beast Taming and Spirit Communication Technique" is crucial to the combat power and loyalty of Little Gold, Longevity Rat, and any future spirit pets that may be tamed.

Then, with a thought, he used both [Masterpiece Upgraders] on the cultivation technique he had chosen.

In an instant, the spiritual energy within Chen Xu's body began to circulate on its own, gaining a sense of continuous flow.

However, it is not yet clear how much it will improve combat effectiveness; we will test it again when we have the opportunity.

However, the improvement from the "Beast Taming and Spirit Communication Technique" is extremely obvious and intuitive.

The effect changes to being able to condense up to six soul imprints, but the spirit pets contracted with them will be 100% loyal and will never betray you.

In addition, a spirit pet space will be created in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Furthermore, spirit pets bound by a Soul Imprint Contract can inherit some of the effects of Hextech Runes.

Chen Xu currently possesses mostly economic Hextech runes, which have limited effectiveness.

But at least now, Xiao Jin and Shu Changsheng should be able to trigger the [Pirate Style] effect when they kill targets...
