Candlelight's Private Warehouse:
Due to the Holy Grail's power, the entire room was filled with Divine Might. Even a Tier 1 expert player would feel their movements become as slow as a tortoise. Meanwhile, after Shi Feng entered the room, despite possessing the Strength of a Tier 3 player of the same tier, he still felt extremely uncomfortable, his movements sluggish.
Originally, Shifeng had not intended to use this Legendary item.
After all, the higher the rank of an item, the greater the cost. If he failed to upgrade the item, he would lose all of his Basic Attributes.
However, if he wanted to complete the quest to activate a super-large-scale neutral city, he needed to borrow the Fire Spirit's power.
To increase his success rate, he had no choice but to give it a try.
Following which, Shifeng approached the stone platform that held the Holy Grail and retrieved a crimson crystal ball from his bag. This crystal ball was none other than the Fire Spirit.
The Holy Grail had cost five Magic Crystals to summon a Tier 2 Fire Spirit of the same level. Compared to the Bible of Darkness, even a Tier 2 Summoning Scroll would be more powerful than the current Fire Spirit. Yet, the Holy Grail was an Epic item.
This was why Shi Feng had chosen to upgrade the Fire Spirit. After all, the more powerful an item was, the lower its success rate. Even Epic items had different grades. The difference between them was like the difference between Bronze and Dark-Gold rank. Before the Fire Spirit devoured a Mysterious Flame, it was akin to a Bronze item. Only by continuously devouring powerful Mysterious Flames would the Fire Spirit's quality improve. In fact, it might even reach a level that Fragmented Legendary items couldn't.
After Shifeng retrieved the Fire Spirit, he had the Holy Grail scan the Fire Spirit.
Immediately, six streaks of dark-purple mist emerged from the Holy Grail and enveloped the Fire Spirit. After five seconds, the sound of a system notification reached Shi Feng.
System: This item cannot be upgraded to Fragmented Legendary rank directly.
"It can't be upgraded directly?" Shifeng was stunned.
He had never thought that the Fire Spirit would be so special. It was clearly an Epic item, yet it couldn't be upgraded to Fragmented Legendary rank.
Just as Shifeng was feeling a little disappointed that the Fire Spirit couldn't be upgraded, the sound of another system notification reached his ears.
System: Do you wish to permanently lose 5,000 HP to strengthen the Fire Spirit?
"Strengthen?" Shifeng was flabbergasted when he saw the words displayed on the system interface. However, when he saw the strengthening conditions, he couldn't help but be speechless. "What a scam! Evolving the Blacksteel Insignia into an Epic item only cost 1,000 HP, yet a single enhancement cost 5,000 HP! "
To a Tier 2 MT, losing 5,000 HP was no small matter. After all, a Level 70, Tier 2 MT would be very impressive if they could reach 100,000 HP. Losing 5,000 HP was equivalent to losing one-twentieth of that HP. Most importantly, losing a player's own HP would have an even greater impact. This was because many pieces of equipment increased a player's HP by percentages. Losing 5,000 HP would result in even more indirect losses.
Shifeng gritted his teeth and clicked 'Agree'.
To him, losing 5,000 HP was no small matter. However, the Fire Spirit's value was no small matter. Most importantly, he wasn't upgrading the Fire Spirit to Fragmented Legendary rank. It was only strengthening the Fire Spirit's effects. The success rate of upgrading the Fire Spirit was extremely high.
Moreover, HP wasn't particularly important to a Swordsman player. Not to mention, Shi Feng had a Bloodline. When he leveled up, his HP, in particular, would increase much more than an ordinary player's. While the loss of HP might be significant to ordinary players, it wouldn't be significant to Shi Feng.
After Shifeng clicked 'Agree', the Holy Grail on the stone platform began to release purple mist. This time, however, the purple mist was different from before. Not only was it denser, but it also filled the entire Private Warehouse.
As the purple mist flowed into the Fire Spirit, the Flame Dragon inside the Fire Spirit seemed to awaken. The Flame Dragon released a series of roars, its roars even passing through the crystal ball and echoing throughout the Private Warehouse.
Due to the purple mist entering the Fire Spirit, the originally small Flame Dragon began to grow.
In less than ten seconds, the small Flame Dragon had grown into a mature Flame Dragon. The Flame Dragon's body had also more than doubled. At the same time, the Flame Dragon's eyes glowed with intelligence. It was no longer as cold and emotionless as before.
"It succeeded?" Shi Feng could not help his excitement as he looked at the Flame Dragon growing in the crystal ball.
Fire Spirits might be unfamiliar to current God's Domain players, but Shi Feng was very familiar with them. He knew just how valuable a sentient Fire Spirit was.
To put it simply, a sentient Fire Spirit possessed advanced intelligence, which allowed the Fire Spirit to exhibit frightening combat power. The difference between an ordinary player's combat power and an expert's was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Many of God's Domain's major powers possessed Fire Spirits. However, it wasn't easy to make a Fire Spirit intelligent. Only by devouring a Tier 2 Mysterious Flame or above could a Fire Spirit awaken its advanced intelligence, greatly increasing its combat power. Hence, the various powers that possessed Fire Spirits often had their Fire Spirits devour Tier 2 Mysterious Flames or above. Unfortunately, very few Fire Spirits managed to develop advanced intelligence.
Meanwhile, the Fire Spirit was a very special Epic item. It possessed limitless potential. Many experts had even speculated that a Fire Spirit could even grow into a Tier 6 God if it was given a sufficiently powerful Mysterious Flame.
With such combat power, even Tier 6 God-ranked players would have to flee if they encountered a Tier 6 God with advanced intellect.
Inside the Private Warehouse … After the purple mist disappeared, Shifeng carefully opened the Fire Spirit's Attribute Window to inspect it.
As expected of the Holy Grail. It clearly didn't devour a Mysterious Flame, yet the Fire Spirit has grown so much? Shifeng could not help his excitement when he saw the Fire Spirit's new Attributes.
The new Fire Spirit was no longer an ordinary Tier 2 Fire Spirit. Instead, it was a bona fide Tier 2 Advanced Fire Spirit. Moreover, it possessed advanced intelligence and could summon a Tier 2 Advanced Fire Spirit that was ten levels higher than the player it summoned.
Although a Tier 2 Advanced Fire Spirit didn't seem like much, its Life Rating was only inferior to Archaic Species. Moreover, once it gained Advanced Intellect, a Tier 2 Advanced Fire Spirit's combat power could rival Tier 3 monsters of the same level. In terms of help, a Tier 2 Advanced Fire Spirit was far more useful than a Tier 3 monster. This was because Advanced Fire Spirits had more fire-type Skills and Spells than ordinary Tier 2 Elementalists. If a Tier 2 Advanced Fire Spirit fought a Tier 2 Advanced Fire Spirit, even Tier 2 peak experts would have to avoid it.
After all, the Advanced Fire Spirit's Skills and Spells were 100% effective. Including its advanced intelligence, the Fire Spirit's combat power could rival even peak experts. Meanwhile, the Fire Spirit's Basic Attributes were far higher than Tier 2 players'.
"Guild Leader, I've collected all the Tier 1 Mysterious Flames you requested," A Melancholy Smile suddenly reported.
