Chapter
"I apologize to everyone. I originally intended to release a burst of updates today, but I suddenly received news that a relative passed away this afternoon. I just returned not long ago, and my mind is in disarray, so I can't do much more right now. I'll owe you this burst and make it up in a few days. Sigh, I sincerely hope humanity can conquer cancer soon; the pain of patients in the later stages is too much. Wishing all my readers and their families good health."
Naming weapons, strictly speaking, doesn’t have any special significance; it’s more like a unique identifier provided by a roulette system for high-level equipment.
Just like in my previous life, ferocious mutated beings were given names by people, such as Yangos.
Although this naming doesn't provide any extra benefits, it represents a form of recognition or respect.
There aren’t many purple-level pieces of equipment that can be named; usually, only colorful weapons have this privilege. This is also why Ye Zhongming was so excited, as it undoubtedly indicated that this piece of equipment was quite exceptional.
“Earth Sand Moon Blade (Purple).”
“Ability 1: Sharpness +720, Toughness +780.”
“Ability 2: Moonlight Blade, when wielding the weapon, the war knife generates sharp moonlight blades that cut the target. The length and power of the moonlight blades are proportional to the force exerted by the user. Sharpness increases by an additional 70.”
“Ability 3: Bloodsucking Alliance. When the Earth Sand Moon Blade’s attack causes damage, the target’s injuries will continuously worsen over a period, and the power of the moonlight blades will be enhanced based on the target's injuries, increasing by 1% to 5% of the base attributes.”
“Ability 4: Skill Memory. When the user activates skills with the Earth Sand Moon Blade, the war knife will remember a related attribute. Each time a skill is used, a mark will be left on the war knife. The deeper the mark, the greater the enhancement of the relevant attribute skill's power. Using 100 marks as the base value, every increase by a hundred times can reach the next level, with each level increasing the power by 12%.”
“Ability 5: Moonlight Field. When fighting with the Earth Sand Moon Blade, a moonlight space will be formed around the user, slightly increasing the user’s physical attributes. Target enemies will suffer from slowing and stunning effects, and will be continuously damaged by moonlight. The moonlight field has a radius of ten meters centered on the user, which can be expanded but requires a large amount of mental energy. The maximum range cannot exceed a radius of fifty meters. Additional effects relate to the target's mental energy and evolutionary level.”
“Ability 6: Sandstorm Moonlight Tornado. The user can cancel the Moonlight Field, transforming it into a varying number of powerful sandstorm moonlight tornadoes that deal both earth and light type damage to the target. The power is inversely proportional to the number of tornadoes.”
Looking at these skills, Ye Zhongming understood why the roulette system granted it a name.
First, of course, was the formidable base abilities; both sharpness and toughness had reached impressive levels. It should be noted that these were just the attributes of the war knife and didn’t include any skills. Once these were added, this knife was already extraordinarily sharp.
Secondly, the previous blade radiance had been replaced with moonlight radiance, which meant that now, every time he swung it, moonlight blades would appear, and their attack power exceeded that of the blade itself.
The newly added Bloodsucking Alliance allowed the knife to increase its combat power while damaging enemies. If it merely increased the minimum by 1%, the sharpness of the moonlight blades would be nearly 800. If it increased by the maximum of 5%, the sharpness value would rise to almost 840!
That was equivalent to a significant upgrade.
As for the already existing skill memory and the moonlight field created from the battlefield transformation, they further enhanced its might and reduced limitations; even the latter added a stunning effect.
