……
Su Xiao's heartbeat began to accelerate. He had never seen such powerful equipment before.
The appearance of the Wood Spirit was somewhat peculiar. It was a tangled mass of slender branches, about the size of an apple. Unlike ordinary branches, its texture was very soft, like a ball of emerald green yarn.
The Wood Spirit had two modes. First was the defense mode, which showed that the Wood Spirit was a defense-oriented piece of equipment. 130 points of health recovery per minute, a 1200-point health increase, and 40 points of body defense.
These three attributes alone were enough to rival three pieces of the Demon Hunter Set, no, they even surpassed the Demon Hunter Set by a large margin.
Why were Su Xiao's previous slashes ineffective against Senju Hashirama? It was because his body was too tough, meaning his body defense was too high.
If Su Xiao equipped the Wood Spirit, his survivability would definitely surpass the main tanks in those large adventure groups. That's right, that's how exaggerated his survivability would be.
If the attributes of this Legendary equipment were leaked, who knows how many main tanks would be green with envy. This item nearly increased Su Xiao's survivability by two-thirds.
Moreover, this equipment wasn't just strong in defense; its instantaneous burst attack power was enough to make most people's blood run cold.
After activating the attack form skill, if the next attack used a weapon, it would cause Strength Attribute × 0.3 attack, knockback, and knock-up effects.
This didn't mean dealing Strength Attribute × 0.3 damage, but rather the next attack's power multiplied by 0.3. If no weapon was used, it would be Strength Attribute × 3, equivalent to Su Xiao's 80 True Strength × 3.
80 True Strength × 3 was, of course, not 240 True Strength, but it was still terrifying enough, equivalent to tripling the killing power.
If Su Xiao attached the Wood Spirit to his foot and kicked an enemy's weak spot, it wouldn't just be a matter of broken ribs; it would directly kick the enemy's internal organs flying out.
Su Xiao had previously thought Legendary equipment would be powerful, but he didn't expect it to be this strong. The Wood Spirit had no flashy abilities, but every single attribute was simple and brutal. No contractor would refuse it; it was almost suitable for all contractors.
More importantly, this equipment could be worn in any position. It could form a ring, a necklace, or a bracer. If it absorbed some nutrients, it could even form upper or lower body armor, etc. It could be worn anywhere.
If he didn't want to wear it on his body, he could also designate it as auxiliary equipment. So-called auxiliary equipment was like the Destiny Redemption type. Even if not worn, the equipment's passive effects could still be enjoyed. A total of 3 auxiliary equipment pieces could be equipped.
The characteristics of auxiliary equipment meant it would be so expensive it would make people question their life choices.
Su Xiao's mana surged into the Wood Spirit. This was just a form of binding. Mana, thought energy, chakra, spiritual power, blood, etc., could all be used to bind equipment.
[Tip: You have bound Legendary Equipment · Wood Spirit.]
As soon as Su Xiao bound the Wood Spirit, he found he could control it. He tried to focus his attention on the Wood Spirit, and it immediately changed.
The tangled Wood Spirit spread out, gradually wrapping around Su Xiao's arm, forming a bracer. Su Xiao's bracer equipment slot showed 2/2, the other position being the King's Supreme Bracer.
Su Xiao controlled the Wood Spirit again. It detached from his arm and attached itself to the hem of his trench coat. This time, he designated it as leg armor.
According to the judgment of Reincarnation Paradise, the Wood Spirit became leg armor. This piece of equipment was practically 'universal'.
This put Su Xiao in a great mood. Equipment needed to be replaced, but the Wood Spirit was different. If he ran out of equipment slots, he could simply designate it as auxiliary equipment.
Su Xiao switched the Wood Spirit to defense form. As soon as the switch was successful, a surge of emerald energy entered his body. His body became tougher, his health increased by a large margin, about a third, the vitality of various organs significantly improved, and his breathing became more powerful.
If combined with Bubu Wang's recovery aura, Su Xiao's health recovery ability would undergo a qualitative leap.
The chest was opened. The remaining three chests were to be taken to the Trade Market to 'trick people'.
This time, Su Xiao's harvest in the Naruto World was considerable. The gains were as follows:
[Scarlet Card of Rose] Awaiting Bubu Wang's opening. Bubu Wang claimed his luck was bad today.
[Original Hashirama Cell Data (5/5)]
[Water Release Ninjutsu Scroll · C-Rank to B-Rank]
[Legendary Medal × 2]
[Grandmaster Power Gold Honor Medal × 7]
[Storm Sever]
[Demon Scythe · Hapodia (Enhancement +9)]
[Soul Crystal (Large) × 5]
……
Looking at these items, Su Xiao thought for a moment and decided to first upgrade his Blade Master skill. His Blade Master was now at... once it reached... there would be a considerable change.
Su Xiao took a Soul Crystal (Large) in his hand.
[Upgrade Blade Master (Passive), requires consuming 100,000 Paradise Coins + Soul Crystal (Large) × 1. Upgrade?]
Su Xiao chose to upgrade. The Soul Crystal in his hand shattered. At that moment, his eyes began to glaze over.
In a patch of darkness.
Clang.
A flash of blade light. Su Xiao's perspective suddenly became a bird's-eye view. Below was a vast, blood-red desert.
This world was red. The desert was filled with all kinds of long blades, each one a famous blade that could be passed down through the ages.
In the center of these blades sat a figure. The figure was lowering its head, as if deep in thought.
Su Xiao's vision blurred, then shifted. He seemed to enter someone's mind, sharing their field of vision.
"Is this the world you pursue? Look around you. Do you really know what you've done now?"
The person Su Xiao was 'possessing' spoke. Through their perspective, Su Xiao saw a man with long, jet-black hair, holding a worn-out long blade.
The man stood there, dressed in tattered clothes, with a stubbly face, seemingly pondering something. This man was the one previously sitting amidst the countless famous blades.
