Chapter 3: Is This it? Is This Perfection?

Ding! "Forging of the perfect grade transcendent weapon [Metal Skin] completed!"

Ding! "Forging the first perfect grade transcendent weapon, reward: 1000 points, random materials drawn at once!"

Ding! " Reward: mysterious [ Yellow Flame ], 1% unlocked!"

Hearing the system's voice in his head made Su Yun smile.

The rewards this time were beyond his expectations.

The first was his first random material.

The second reward was unlocking another 1% of the mysterious [ Yellow Flame ]'s ability, which was a big improvement!

In the beginning, 1% of the mysterious [ Yellow Flame ]'s ability was already unlocked, which was very useful. And at that time, he was still thinking about how to unlock the rest of the firearm's upgrade.

Now, the problem was solved.

And as his final reward, he received 1000 points, which he wasn't sure what it was for, but he didn't care. The more rewards the better, right? 

"System, what is the use of the points?" Su Yun asked curiously.

"When you collect a total of 10,000 points, the points store will be unlocked!" The system replied.

Unlock the points store?

What is this?

Is it a normal store that sells all kinds of things like what a department store would? Or does it sell other smithing materials, or maybe they would even have elixirs for sale among their shelves?

Su Yun fantasized for a while. Then he came back to his senses.

In the seven days he spent refining weapons, Su Yun had used up all the materials that he had accumulated for decades.

Unlike the smithy that had become empty, Su Yun felt a great sense of gain!

Then, Su Yun opened his personal interface.

[ Character: Su Yun ]

[ Realm: None ]

[ Firearm: [Yellow Flame] 2% ]

[ Weapon: Transcendent - perfect grade [ Metal Skin ] ]

[ Cultivation Method: None ]

[ Evaluation 1 : A weakling with some defensive ability. ]

[ Evaluation 2 : A guy who is about to die of old age. ]

After reading the evaluations, Su Yun's temper flared up.

What did they mean by "a weakling with some defensive ability"?!

He punched through the transparent screen in front of him.

It was then that Su Yun belatedly realized that this was only a virtual screen.

What the hell, this guy "is about to die of old age"?!

Are they trying to say that my name is going to die?! 

Or are they saying that I'm old?

It's probably the latter. Su Yun steeled his mind.

"Check the effect."

A blue light was emitted from all over Su Yun's body. He looked very powerful.

This was the first time Su Yun had forged a transcendent weapon.

If he had been able to forge a weapon of this level a few years ago, Su Yun wouldn't have stayed in the basement nor turned this place into a smithy.

His best result used to be a semi-finished transcendent weapon. It was half a point lower in quality than the standard weapons he had casually forged recently.

Ordinary weapons were almost at the lowest level.

Transcendent weapons were usually used by warriors.

The lowest level was for martial artists, and the entry requirement was 300 combat power.

If one could become a martial artist, they could enjoy the benefits of 5,000 alliance dollars per month. The entry requirement for a beginner martial artist was 500 combat power.

And the minimum requirement for a beginner martial artist was 5,000 combat power, which meant that one's explosive power could reach this level in an instant. It was like an armored vehicle.

To become a martial artist, one would receive a benefit of 100,000 alliance dollars per month, and these things were the things that ordinary people couldn't earn even if they worked hard for most of their lives!

Martial artists were ridiculously powerful!

But now, even if a martial artist used weapons to attack, they basically couldn't cut through Su Yun's skin.

Weapons were divided into ordinary weapons, transcendent weapons, spirit weapons, and legendary divine weapons.

The weapons would emit white, green, blue, red, and orange light correspondingly.

Ordinary weapons were the lowest grade, will emit white light.

Transcendent weapons emit green and blue light.

Spirit weapons emit red light.

And legendary divine weapons emit orange light.

Ordinary weapons were weapons that ordinary people used.

The standard weapons Su Yun made were also ordinary weapons.

The greatest use of ordinary weapons was to set up traps or to cut down fierce beasts after death.

However, it was not enough to deal with the fierce beasts head on.

A level above ordinary weapons, were the transcendent weapons. Green transcendent weapons were at entry and mastery levels, while blue transcendent weapons were at mastery or perfection levels.

Different colors of transcendent weapons also represent the different grades of beasts it could conquer.

Green transcendent weapons corresponded to the first and second tier of dire beasts.

Blue transcendent weapons corresponded to third tier dire beasts and were usually used by top-tier martial masters.

Only transcendent weapons were qualified to deal with beasts, because weapons at this level could effectively break through their defense.

A high-level spiritual weapon had a special attribute, its power was astonishing, and it was ridiculously terrifying.

When used, it would have the ability to destroy the world, making people feel terrified.

Since I said that I had some defensive power, then I should test it out.

Otherwise, I would feel uneasy.

Then, Su Yun picked up an axe that he used to chop firewood.

After a simple refinement with the mysterious [ Yellow Flame ], the axe emitted a cold light.

The axe's blade looked even sharper than before!

He found a few wooden stakes and experimented on them. The effect was obvious. Chopping firewood was more labor-saving.

Then, he raised the axe in his hand and chopped his arm.

Clang!

There was a dent on the axe, obviously taking serious damage.

Physical defense was pretty good!

The system test was not standard either!

His skin was spotless, no evidence or signs of it clashed against the axe at all. How could someone call this "some defensive ability"? !

Physical defense testing, done. Next, he should start testing for other attributes.

Su Yun summoned the mysterious [ Yellow Flame] and controlled the heat to 100 degrees. He placed it against his skin.

Right now, he only felt some warmth and nothing else.

Then, he began to crank up the heat.

200 degrees... 400 degrees ... 600 degrees... ...

Before he knew it, the temperature of the flame was already at 1,300 degrees!

With a temperature of 1,300 degrees, Su Yun began to feel a little uncomfortable.

"From the looks of it, the skin's physical defense is still passable, but the fire resistance still needs some improvements."

Regardless, a temperature of 1,300 degrees was already a terrifying and inhuman feat!

Even a martial artist would find it difficult to withstand a high temperature of more than 200 degrees celsius. A higher level martial artist might be able to resist the heat, but they would not be much better off.

Perhaps it was a spur-of-the-moment kind of thinking, Su Yun wanted to test out what his current limit was.

He began to rapidly raise the [ Yellow Flame ]'s temperature.

... 1,700 degrees celsius... 1,900 degrees celsius...

Su Yun felt the moment he lost control, and the high-speed body heat he had did not help the present situation either.

The air around him became so hot that the metals in his shop even began to melt.

All of a sudden, the blueprints began to burn, and there was a high probability of a fire breakout. 

Even though the blueprints have no use to him anymore, it still wouldn't be a good idea to burn down the shop.

Su Yun did not hesitate to use the clothes he was wearing to extinguish the flames that were about to rise.

Perhaps he was a little too careless of the flames, because the next thing he knew, his clothes had actually started to burn.

And at that moment, the sound of footsteps can be heard coming from the otherside of the door. There seems to be a lot of people wandering about outside his doorstep. What are they doing here?

"Hey, old man, How's the shop recently?"
