Chapter 4: Full Score · World-Class Equipment (6000 Rating Points)
The moment Su Xiao opened the Holy Spirit Chest, a dazzling golden light burst forth, illuminating the entire Exclusive Room. The light was so intense that even Bubu Wang, who was lying nearby, raised his head and let out a low growl.
Su Xiao squinted his eyes, waiting for the light to fade before looking inside the chest. Inside lay a long sword with a deep blue blade, its surface flowing with a faint, starry light. The hilt was wrapped in black leather, and the guard was shaped like a pair of spread dragon wings, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.
He reached out and lifted the long sword from the chest. The moment his hand touched the hilt, a stream of information surged into his mind.
[You have obtained: Starfall Sword]

[Rating: 6000 points (Full Score)]
[Introduction: Forged from the core of a fallen star, it contains the power of the Star Realm. Only the most powerful warriors can wield its true might.]
Su Xiao's eyes flickered slightly. A full-score World-Class equipment was extremely rare, even in the entire Reincarnation Paradise. The 6000-point rating meant this sword had reached the pinnacle of its rank, with no room for improvement.
"Not bad."
He nodded in satisfaction, then stored the Starfall Sword into his storage space. Although this sword was powerful, his current main weapon, Dragon-Slaying Flash, was already fused with the Origin Stone: World and had reached the Immortal Rank. For now, there was no need to switch.
Next, he opened the Epic Chest. A purple light surged out, and inside was a pair of dark red gauntlets, covered in intricate runes that pulsed with a faint blood light.
[You have obtained: Blood Rage Gauntlets]
[Rating: Epic (★★★★)]
[Equipment Requirements: Eighth Rank, Melee Grandmaster, True Strength 250 points]
[Attributes: Attack Power +320, Fist Skill Power +28%, Critical Hit Rate +15%]
[Skill: Blood Rage (Active) — Activates to increase attack power by 50% for 30 seconds, but reduces defense by 20%. Cooldown: 180 seconds.]
[Rating: 4800 points]
[Introduction: A gauntlet forged from the blood of a demon, granting the wearer berserker-like power.]
Su Xiao weighed the gauntlets in his hand. Although they were good, they weren't suitable for him. He decided to sell them later in the Trade Market.
Finally, he opened the Legendary Chest. A golden light burst forth, and inside lay a crystal bottle filled with a silver liquid that shimmered with starlight.
[You have obtained: Starry Soul Potion]
[Rating: Legendary (★★★)]
[Effect: After use, permanently increases Soul Strength by 15 points, Soul Energy recovery speed by 30%.]
[Usage Requirements: Soul Strength 100 points or above.]
[Rating: 3500 points]
[Introduction: A potion refined from the essence of a Star Realm creature, capable of strengthening the soul.]
Su Xiao's eyes lit up. Soul Strength was one of the hardest attributes to increase, and this potion could permanently boost it by 15 points—a rare treasure. Without hesitation, he pulled out the cork and downed the potion in one gulp.
A cool sensation flowed through his body, converging in his mind. His soul seemed to be washed by starlight, becoming clearer and more solid.
[Soul Strength increased by 15 points. Current Soul Strength: 285 points.]
Feeling the changes in his soul, Su Xiao nodded in satisfaction. He then took out the Soul Severing Shadow Stone and examined it carefully.
[Soul Severing Shadow Stone]
[Rating: World-Class]
[Effect: Can be used to upgrade the Blade Demon Spirit, increasing its power by 30% and unlocking new abilities.]
[Note: This item can only be used once. After use, the Blade Demon Spirit will enter a dormant state for 7 days.]
Su Xiao thought for a moment, then decided not to use it for now. The Blade Demon Spirit was already powerful enough, and he didn't want to lose its combat capability for a full week. He would save it for when he had a long break.
After organizing his loot, Su Xiao left the Exclusive Room and headed to the Attribute Enhancement Hall.
The Attribute Enhancement Hall was a massive circular building, its interior filled with countless Attribute Enhancement Pods. Each pod was a transparent cylinder filled with a golden liquid that slowly rotated, radiating a faint energy fluctuation.
Su Xiao walked up to an empty pod, took off his coat, and stepped inside. The pod door closed, and the golden liquid quickly filled the space, completely submerging him.
A warm energy surged from all directions, seeping into his body through every pore. His muscles, bones, and even his soul were being strengthened.
[You are undergoing Attribute Enhancement. Estimated time: 30 minutes.]
Su Xiao closed his eyes, feeling the power flowing through his body. This time, he had accumulated a large number of True Attribute Points and planned to allocate them all at once.
After half an hour, the pod door opened, and the golden liquid receded. Su Xiao stepped out, his body feeling much lighter, and his strength had noticeably increased.
[Attribute Enhancement Complete. True Strength +15, True Agility +12, True Stamina +10, True Intelligence +8.]
[Current Attributes:]
[True Strength: 385 points]
[True Agility: 352 points]
[True Stamina: 310 points]
[True Intelligence: 278 points]
[Charm: 5 points (Fixed)]
[Luck: 18 points]
Su Xiao clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him. With his current attributes, even among Eighth Rank Contractors, he was at the top tier.
After leaving the Attribute Enhancement Hall, he went to the Skill Upgrade Hall.
The Skill Upgrade Hall was even more magnificent, its interior filled with countless Skill Upgrade Pods. Each pod was a spherical device, its surface covered in complex runes that pulsed with a faint blue light.
Su Xiao found an empty pod and stepped inside. The pod door closed, and a blue light enveloped him.
[Please select the skill to upgrade.]
Su Xiao thought for a moment, then chose [Blade Path: Azure Demon].
[Blade Path: Azure Demon (Active Lv.50 → Lv.55)]
[Effect: Unleash a blade aura that deals (Attack Power x 3.5) True Damage to enemies in a straight line. Cooldown: 8 seconds.]
[Upgrade Cost: 50,000 Paradise Coins, 5 Soul Crystals (Complete).]
Su Xiao confirmed the upgrade. The pod began to hum, and streams of blue energy flowed into his body, merging with his blade intent.
[Upgrade Complete. Blade Path: Azure Demon has reached Lv.55. Damage increased by 15%.]
He then upgraded [Blade Path: Time] and [Blade Path: Extreme], spending a total of 150,000 Paradise Coins and 15 Soul Crystals (Complete).
After leaving the Skill Upgrade Hall, Su Xiao headed to the Equipment Enhancement Hall.
The Equipment Enhancement Hall was a massive building with a towering spire, its interior filled with various enhancement devices. The most eye-catching was a giant furnace in the center, radiating a terrifying heat.
Su Xiao took out Dragon-Slaying Flash and handed it to the enhancement master.
"Enhance to +12."
The enhancement master was a middle-aged man with a scarred face. He took the longsword, examined it carefully, and nodded.
"Immortal Rank equipment, +12 enhancement. The success rate is only 30%. Are you sure?"
The enhancement master didn't say much. He placed Dragon-Slaying Flash into the furnace and began the enhancement process.
The furnace roared, flames surging, and the longsword emitted a sharp hum. Su Xiao watched calmly, his expression unchanged.
After a few minutes, the furnace stopped, and the enhancement master took out Dragon-Slaying Flash. The blade was now covered in a faint golden light, its aura even more formidable.
[Enhancement Successful. Dragon-Slaying Flash has reached +12. Attack Power +120, Blade Skill Power +15%.]
Su Xiao took the longsword, feeling the power within it, and nodded in satisfaction.
After finishing all his tasks, he returned to his Exclusive Room and sat down to rest.
"Boss, how's the harvest this time?" Bubu Wang asked, wagging his tail.
"Not bad." Su Xiao took out the Starfall Sword and examined it. "This sword is a full-score World-Class equipment. If I sell it, it should fetch a good price."
"Sell it? Aren't you going to use it?" Bubu Wang was surprised.
"I already have Dragon-Slaying Flash. This sword is powerful, but it doesn't suit my fighting style. Better to sell it and exchange for resources that are more useful to me."
Su Xiao put away the Starfall Sword, then took out the Blood Rage Gauntlets and the Starry Soul Potion. He had already used the potion, so only the gauntlets were left to sell.
He planned to go to the Trade Market tomorrow to sell these two pieces of equipment and buy some materials he needed.
Just then, a message notification sounded. Su Xiao opened his communicator and saw it was from Mawen Hua'erzi.
"White Night, I heard you got a full-score World-Class equipment? Interested in trading? I have some good stuff here."
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. Mawen Hua'erzi's information network was indeed impressive. He had only just obtained the equipment, and the other party already knew.
"What do you have?"
A few seconds later, Mawen Hua'erzi sent a list of items. Su Xiao scanned through it, and his gaze stopped on one item.
[Black Maple Tree Branch (Immortal Rank)]
[Effect: Can be used to forge weapons or refine potions. Contains a large amount of Black Maple Tree energy.]
[Rating: 5800 points]
Su Xiao's eyes flickered. The Black Maple Tree was a legendary item, and its branches were extremely rare. If he could get this, he might be able to upgrade Dragon-Slashing Flash again.
"How about trading the Starfall Sword for your Black Maple Tree Branch?"
"Deal. Where to meet?"
"Trade Market, in an hour."
Su Xiao put away his communicator, stood up, and headed out.
