Chapter 782: Orange Quality [Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist]


"Now, I already have Dark Gold Equipment, the remaining question is whether I can successfully transform it into a weapon of Dark Gold Quality."

Zhang Yanhang said this as he manipulated the Alchemy Array to start attempting the transformation.

Since it was his first time attempting this kind of transformation, it took Zhang Yanhang just over half an hour to finally manage to transform one of the Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armor +4 into a weapon, a short knife that was now flickering with dark gold light. Yes, it was designated as an upgrade material.

After apprehensively checking the attribute list of the short knife flickering with dark gold light, Zhang Yanhang found it to be a garbage weapon in terms of Attack Power, possessing Dark Purple Quality but entirely lacking the corresponding capabilities, and its Additional Attributes had changed beyond recognition, not much different from those filler weapons he had produced before.

However, fortunately, although its own attributes were rubbish, it still retained the most important Dark Purple Quality, so there was no need to pay too much attention to other things. As long as it met the Upgrade Conditions, that was enough.

After successfully transforming the first Dark Gold Quality short knife, Zhang Yanhang quickly started transforming the other four pieces of Dark Gold Quality Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armor +4.

Although the first transformation took Zhang Yanhang more than half an hour, he only transformed one piece at that time. This time, however, he had some relevant experience in transformation, and he was transforming four pieces of Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armor +4 at the same time, so it still only took him more than half an hour to complete the transformation.

So, eventually, it took him a total of just over an hour to complete the transformation of these five Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armor +4.

Zhang Yanhang glanced at his watch and found that after transforming the five pieces of Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armor, it was already past five in the morning. "I remember I finished opening the Treasure box at 2:45 a.m. I didn't expect two hours to pass so quickly. Organizing the spoils really does take much more time than purely hunting monsters."

"But fortunately, I am quite free now. The Transmission Channel to Greenland will not open until seven in the morning. I still have more than an hour, so there's plenty of time, and there's no need to rush at all."

Zhang Yanhang said this as he took off the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist from his arm and placed it together with the five newly transformed Dark Gold Quality short knives.

"Choose! Upgrade the Quality of the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist!"

Zhang Yanhang immediately began triggering the related option without any hesitation. Time Pause once again descended upon the Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano, and a long row of text options that he was very familiar with but not quite appeared before him in an instant.

[Do you want to upgrade the Quality of 'Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist'?]

[Option One: Yes (Consume five Dark Gold Quality weapons 'Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Short Knife', 'Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Short Knife', 'Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Short Knife', 'Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Short Knife', 'Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Short Knife' to enhance the Quality of 'Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist' to Orange.)]

[Option Two: Yes (Consume one 'Buddha Relics' to enhance the Quality of 'Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist' to Orange.)]

[Option Three: No (Although you already have five surplus Dark Gold Quality weapons on you, you suddenly lose interest in upgrading the Quality of Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist for the time being. You feel that you might find a way to make better use of these Dark Gold weapons, although you do not yet know what other uses these Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Short Knives might have.)]

"Well, what can I say, I should really look for Buddha Relics. Even though I can transform Equipment into weapons and thus obtain the same Quality weapons much faster, I can't give up on the legitimate method of using Buddha Relics."

Zhang Yanhang felt that once he finished clearing the deserted Transmission Channel beneath Raccoon City and if he had some time afterward, he could go to the 'Land of the Buddha Country'.

After all, he had said before that he would visit that place after his Promotion to Fourth Tier. Now, as he was close to his Promotion to Fourth Tier, it indeed would be a good idea to go, and at the very least, he should gather a few more Buddha Relics to upgrade the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist.

"So, I choose Option One, consume five Dark Gold Quality weapons Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Short Knives to enhance the Quality of Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist to Orange." After reviewing the three options, Zhang Yanhang quickly chose the only reliable one.

After Zhang Yanhang made his choice, the five Dark Gold Quality Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Short Knives that were initially piled up with the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist on the ground vanished instantly, while the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist began to shine with a ring of orange light unexpectedly.

After the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist successfully Promoted from Dark Gold Quality to Orange Quality, Zhang Yanhang quickly began to check the attribute list of the Orange Quality Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist.

[Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist]

[Quality: Orange]

[Type: Weapon]

[Origin: Ashen World, Land of the Buddha Country, Heretic Conversion Agency.]

[Durability: 255/255]

[Attack Power: 291(+59)]

[Additional Attributes: Critical Strike Rate +24%(+6%)]

[Special Attribute: 1. All Four Elements are Void (Buddha). 2. All Things are Impermanent (Buddha).]

[All Four Elements are Void (Buddha): Generates a Vajra (Gravity) Domain pulling nearby enemies and causing them Dizziness (Physical) for 4.4 seconds (+0.4 seconds).

[All Things are Impermanent (Buddha): Increases all damage inflicted on lifeform enemies by 39.6% (+8.5%), with this bonus doubled against targets like Attack Armor, Clothing, Beimao, etc.]

[Upgradable, Upgrade Conditions: Consume Buddha Relics (0/1) or Orange Quality Weapons (0/6).]

[Usage Requirements: Strength 70, Agility 65, Constitution 65.]

[Score: 680 (Orange items' scores range from 531 to 680.)]

[Summary: I don't know why, but lately, an outsider who saw me wearing the Heresy Specialized Buddha-level Buddhist Execution (Conversion) Gloves while routinely converting heretics mysteriously started calling me 'One Punch Man'. — From an Arhat Level Heretic Conversion Agency Executioner]

"After being promoted to Orange quality, the strength of the All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist has indeed experienced another rapid surge. The attack power has increased again by 59 points, growing from the original 232 attack power to 291 attack power, maintaining an overall increase of around 25%."

Zhang Yanhang remembered that the last time the All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist was upgraded to Dark Gold Quality, the increase in attack power was a similar percentage, and he was quite satisfied.

If all goes as expected, this increase by 59 attack power should definitely allow his attack strength to improve by a great margin. Based on his past experience, where the God of Sun, Crotena, who could normally withstand two Void Shoulder Takedowns, will now probably be on the brink of death after just one.

The difference should be significant compared to before when after his first Void Shoulder Takedown, the God of Sun, Crotena still had enough energy to spit at him (breathe fire).

"This time the bonus to critical strike rate has also increased by another 6%, growing from an originally 18% critical strike rate bonus to 24%, maintaining the same increase rate as the previous Dark Gold Quality.

Speaking of which, with a 24% critical strike rate bonus, it's already on par with a Light Golden Quality Full-score Crimson Marrow Ghost Face +6, which can also provide a 24% critical strike rate bonus.

Orange quality is indeed powerful, as just one not-so-important additional attribute has already matched equipment specialized in providing critical strike rate bonuses of Light Golden Quality Full-score."

Zhang Yanhang's total critical strike rate bonus previously amounted to 176%. Now with the additional 6% critical strike rate bonus from the Orange Quality All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist, it has increased to 182%, equivalent to having an extra 82% critical strike damage bonus.

"A Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +6 can provide a 50% critical strike damage bonus, so the extra critical strike damage bonus from the overflow of this additional critical strike rate bonus is already equivalent to 1.6 Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws +6, which is pretty good."

It is precisely the integration of various increases that aggregate together, resulting in a qualitative change from the quantitative changes, that causes Zhang Yanhang's current strength to far surpass Awakeners of the same tier. Therefore, he has always been striving to improve any aspect that can be enhanced to increase his own strength.

"This time, after the All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist was promoted to Orange Quality, the boost to attack bonus by All Four Elements are Void has, once again, increased by 112%, growing from the original 888% to 1000%. This is somewhat unexpected as I thought it would only go up to 999% at most according to previous growth patterns.

But luckily, 1000% is also very good, 1% more attack power bonus than 999%. All Four Elements are Void provides a tenfold attack power bonus, and combined with my own 100% attack power, that's the equivalent of being able to deliver a strike with 11 times the attack power.

However, even so, it still doesn't catch up to the 1275% attack multiplier of the Triple Strike, there's still a 175% gap."

"Triple Strike can only be triggered by chance, and it happens only once every four hundred attacks. I haven't even seen it happen so far, but All Four Elements are Void is different. All Four Elements are Void is an active skill, which can be used freely and is much more convenient than Triple Strike."

Although the current attack multiplier of All Four Elements are Void is a bit lower than Triple Strike, Zhang Yanhang undoubtedly still finds All Four Elements are Void to be more useful.

"This time, after the attack bonus of All Four Elements are Void has increased, the Energy Value consumption has also gone up by another 15 points. Although other bonuses haven't been consistently increasing, this Energy Value cost consistently grows by 15 points each time, from Light Golden Quality to the current Orange quality, always a fixed increase of 15 points.

The original Energy Value consumption of All Four Elements are Void was 90 points, and now it has increased to 105 points. With my current Energy Value limit of 5760 points, I can barely use it about fifty-five times in a row. Well, maybe that's quite a lot after all, considering I've never even used All Four Elements are Void consecutively a second time."

Zhang Yanhang had always wanted to find a tough enemy to enjoy the thrill of a fist-to-flesh brawl, but unfortunately, he hadn't found one yet.

"Besides the attack multiplier, the duration of the dizziness effect caused by being hit by All Four Elements are Void has also increased by 0.4 seconds, from the original 4 seconds to 4.4 seconds."

Frankly speaking, Zhang Yanhang would have preferred it if the cooldown time for All Four Elements are Void could be reduced instead of this dizziness duration, which hasn't yet been effective.

To his former self, thirty seconds seemed short, but to his current self, it feels a bit long. After all, a battle doesn't usually last more than thirty seconds, so there's hardly a chance to use the skill a second time.

However, the fact that All Four Elements are Void maintained a thirty-second cooldown time from its Dark Purple Quality to its current progression through Purple, Light Gold, Golden, Dark Gold, and Orange qualities suggests that the cooldown time is likely fixed at this duration and won't be reduced as the Pure World Fist Quality increases.

"So to reduce the cooldown time for All Four Elements are Void, it seems I still have to rely on Divination Tarot Card - Pope's cooldown reduction. But with just a 5% cooldown time reduction for now, it's certainly not very impactful.

Ultimately, I need to gather more Divination Tarot Cards and accordingly enhance the equipment Quality of the Tarot Card."

But that issue wouldn't be difficult to address. Zhang Yanhang could resolve it after opening the Ashen Treasure Boxes.

"Besides All Four Elements are Void, All Things are Impermanent also gained an upgrade, with the damage bonus against Lifeform enemies increasing by another 8.5%, from the original 31.1% to 39.6%. That's nearly forty percent of damage bonus.

However, due to the attack bonus against Attack Armor, Clothing, and Beimao being doubled thanks to the All Things Special Attack, this 39.6% damage bonus can be treated as 79.2%. Thus, the increase for All Things are Impermanent this time is effectively a 17% total damage bonus."

Zhang Yanhang highly valued this increase in the damage bonus of All Things are Impermanent. Because the special bonus of 'Lifeform enemy damage bonus' has a higher priority, it can be calculated on top of other bonuses such as critical hits and extra attacks.

Therefore, increasing this bonus effectively raises the overall damage he can cause by about 17%. Moreover, since it hasn't exceeded 100% to cause inflation, it's a genuine enhancement, helping to increase his total damage bonus by 17%, which is at least equivalent to the effect that multiple Normal Attack Power Bonuses could achieve.
