Chapter 56: Abyss Treasure Chest - Free Reading

Kukulin Bai Ye sat cross-legged in his exclusive room, the Abyss Treasure Chest placed before him. This chest was obtained from the Archbishop of the Abyss, and judging by its aura, it was at least an Epic-grade treasure chest.

He didn't open it immediately. Instead, he first checked his current status.

Name: Kukulin Bai Ye
Title: Blade Grandmaster
Level: Eighth Rank
Health: 100%
Mana: 100%
Strength: 285 points
Agility: 290 points
Endurance: 278 points
Intelligence: 260 points
Charm: 5 points
Luck: 12 points

Seeing the charm attribute of 5 points, Bai Ye's expression remained calm. This attribute had long been abandoned by him. Anyway, he had never relied on charm to get by.

"Bubu Wang, come over here."

"Woof!"

A large dog with pure white fur immediately ran over from the corner. This was Bubu Wang, Bai Ye's contracted beast. Although this dog looked silly on a daily basis, its luck attribute was surprisingly high, reaching 18 points.

"Open this chest."

"Woof woof!"

Bubu Wang wagged his tail, walked up to the Abyss Treasure Chest, and gently pushed the lid with his paw.

Crack—

The chest opened, and a burst of dark blue smoke billowed out. Inside the chest lay three items.

A pitch-black dagger, a scroll emitting a faint glow, and a crystal bottle filled with a dark red liquid.

Bai Ye first picked up the dagger.

[Abyss Shadow Dagger]

Equipment Effect 1: Shadow Strike (Passive) - When attacking from behind, damage increased by 35%.

Rating: 580 points
Introduction: A weapon forged from Abyss energy, extremely dangerous.

Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction. This dagger was a good piece of equipment, but unfortunately, he was a Blade Grandmaster and mainly used longswords. This dagger could be sold or exchanged for other equipment.

Next, he picked up the scroll.

[Abyss Secret Technique: Shadow Step]
Type: Skill Scroll

Rating: 590 points
Introduction: A secret technique derived from Abyss energy, allowing the user to move freely within the shadows.

Bai Ye's eyes lit up. This was a good skill. Although he already had spatial abilities, having an extra mobility skill was never a bad thing. Moreover, Shadow Step consumed very little mana, making it very practical in battle.

He directly chose to learn it.

A stream of information flowed into his mind, and Bai Ye quickly grasped the essence of this skill.

Finally, he picked up the crystal bottle.

[Abyss Life Potion]
Type: Consumable
Quality: Epic
Effect: Instantly restores 60% health and removes all negative status effects.
Rating: 600 points
Introduction: A potion brewed from Abyss life force, possessing incredible healing power.

"Not bad."

Bai Ye put the potion into his storage space. This was a life-saving item, and he would definitely need it in future battles.

After dealing with the Abyss Treasure Chest, Bai Ye stood up and walked toward the Attribute Enhancement Hall.

He still had 125,800 Paradise Coins, enough to enhance his attributes a bit.

Entering the Attribute Enhancement Hall, a mechanical voice sounded.

"Welcome, contractor. Please select the attribute you wish to enhance."

"Strength."

"Current strength attribute: 285 points. Enhancement cost: 2,800 Paradise Coins per point. Please confirm enhancement."

"Confirm."

Bai Ye directly invested 56,000 Paradise Coins, raising his strength attribute to 305 points.

A warm current surged through his body, and Bai Ye clearly felt his strength increase.

"Continue enhancing agility."

"Current agility attribute: 290 points. Enhancement cost: 2,900 Paradise Coins per point. Please confirm enhancement."

"Confirm."

Another 58,000 Paradise Coins were spent, raising agility to 310 points.

Now, Bai Ye had only 11,800 Paradise Coins left, which he planned to keep for emergencies.

After leaving the Attribute Enhancement Hall, Bai Ye went to the Skill Upgrade Chamber.

He had a Golden Skill Point that he had been saving, and now it was time to use it.

Entering the Skill Upgrade Chamber, Bai Ye sat in the upgrade pod and took out the Golden Skill Point.

"Activate skill upgrade."

"Detected Golden Skill Point. Please select the skill to upgrade."

"Blade Path: Azure Demon."

"Confirm upgrade?"

"Confirm."

The Golden Skill Point turned into a stream of golden light and merged into Bai Ye's body. Countless insights about the Azure Demon sword technique surged into his mind.

After a long time, Bai Ye opened his eyes.

Blade Path: Azure Demon had been upgraded from Lv.10 to Lv.15, and its power had increased significantly.

"Not bad."

Bai Ye stood up, satisfied. This trip had been quite fruitful.

Just then, a message notification sounded.

Bai Ye opened the message and saw it was from Mawen Hua'erzi.

"Bai Ye, there's a big event. Come to the Trade Market, I'll explain when you get here."

Bai Ye frowned slightly. Mawen Hua'erzi rarely contacted him so urgently. It seemed something serious had happened.

Without hesitation, Bai Ye immediately headed to the Trade Market.
