Chapter: 0.3% Chance to Upgrade to +12.
Being able to upgrade the Wood Spirit to +12 was something Su Xiao had never even considered. If a Legendary-grade piece of equipment could be upgraded to +12, it would be terrifyingly powerful, even comparable to two or three pieces of equipment of the same quality.
Being able to upgrade it to +5 was already satisfying enough for Su Xiao. As for reaching +7, that would be a massive profit. Going any higher than that, he simply hadn't considered it. He had some self-awareness about his own luck.
The solution inside the device gradually reached room temperature. Su Xiao picked up a long-handled metal clamp from the test bench and removed the Wood Spirit from within.
After a thorough cleaning, the white film enveloping the Wood Spirit faded away.
[Prompt: Wood Spirit has been upgraded to +10.]
Seeing the notification from Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao's hand paused. It seemed... he had gotten incredibly lucky this time. After all, the chance of upgrading from +8 to +10 was only 10%.
A Legendary-grade piece of equipment like the Wood Spirit reaching +10 was a completely different concept from a Gold-grade piece of equipment reaching +10. Su Xiao immediately checked the Wood Spirit's attributes.

...
Seeing the Wood Spirit's attributes, Su Xiao felt even more confident about defeating Huang Fen. The Wood Spirit's overall performance had improved, but the biggest enhancement was to the Wood Brutality ability.
If Su Xiao attached the Wood Spirit to his leg and delivered a full-power side kick to an enemy, the enemy would simultaneously suffer knockback, Bone Break, Armor Shatter, and other effects. If Huang Fen took that kick, the fight would be over.
The Wood Spirit attached itself to Su Xiao's arm, then slithered down to the hem of his trench coat. Without careful observation, it was impossible to detect.
Everything was ready. Su Xiao walked out of the Alchemy Laboratory. Bubu Wang and Amu were already waiting outside.
"Woof."
Bubu Wang barked. This goofball had probably heard about the arena match and was asking if he should participate.
Indeed, Bubu Wang and Amu could also help Su Xiao fight in the arena. Essentially, Bubu Wang was Su Xiao's follower, and Amu was a summoned creature. In the arena, this dog and this bull could fully assist Su Xiao in combat.
However, in the arena, Su Xiao wouldn't reveal all his trump cards. The arena was for competing for benefits and assessing strength. The real place where life and death were decided was in the derivative worlds.
"You two don't need to fight. Just watch."
"Woof."
Bubu Wang pulled out a three-piece set of popcorn, cola, and spicy strips from his storage space. Amu, on the other hand, brought an entire roasted suckling pig.
In truth, the happiest being in Reincarnation Paradise was this glutton, Amu. Every time they returned to Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao would give Amu a food allowance, more than enough for this glutton to enjoy all sorts of delicacies.
Whenever Amu stood in the food street, he was the most popular customer, bar none.
"Let's go."
Su Xiao led Bubu Wang and Amu towards the arena.
Ten minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at the waiting room in the arena. It was somewhat similar to his Exclusive Room; without his permission, outsiders couldn't enter.
Inside the waiting room, Su Xiao opened his personal arena information. He was currently ranked third in the arena. Once in the top ten, there was no such thing as a leap in ranking.
Su Xiao's next goal was to defeat Huang Fen.
[Matching opponent. Please wait patiently, competitor.]
At the same time, Huang Fen received the match notification. He was inside the Blood Gate's team guild hall. This place was somewhat similar to an Exclusive Room, but several dozen times larger. Only members of the Blood Gate Adventurers could enter the team guild hall.
"He's challenging me."
Huang Fen put down his cup of hot tea, his gaze falling on a seductively dressed young woman. This was his famous sister-in-law, known to outsiders as Nailuoyi, the Blood Spider. But within the Blood Gate Adventurers, except for Stan, everyone simply called her Sister-in-law.
