Chapter 732: The Sky Shredder
Chapter 732: The Sky Shredder
Silver City was still in its early stages of construction.
Besides overseeing the city's development, Ye Haiya also had to conquer the surrounding floating islands.
Thus, aside from taking time to educate Lin Sai about Awakened-related knowledge, she devoted most of her energy to her work.
Sometimes, she would even leave Silver City, naturally not urging Lin Sai to abandon his Essence Technique.
This gave Lin Sai the opportunity and means to act.
Drawing from his own academic experience, Lin Sai approached the guards in the castle, asking to learn martial arts under the pretext of improving his combat skills, and conveniently requested wood, claiming he needed it to craft practice weapons.
Three high-level Artisans eagerly offered Lin Sai their materials, even wanting to craft weapons for him directly.
However, after Lin Sai cited the excuse that he hadn't decided on a weapon yet and needed to consult the guards about the specific shape, they temporarily abandoned the idea of crafting weapons for him.
On the third night, Ye Haiya did not return to the city.
Lin Sai saw his chance and immediately began crafting at the workbench.
[Tool/Weapon: Cloud Sea Fishing Rod]
[Using this fishing rod moderately increases the success rate of fishing; it can be used for fishing in special environments like floating islands and cloud seas.]
[The fishing rod is a moderately priced, delicate white rod that appears to float in the air.]
Lin Sai examined the newly acquired fishing rod.
The white rod was adorned with gently shaped cloud patterns.
The fishing line and hook were almost smoky, giving them a hazy appearance that immediately caught the eye as something extraordinary.
"Fishing in the floating islands."
"By synthesizing air-attributed magical runes and elemental crystals, I might be able to fish in the cloud seas. And with all these atmosphere-related attributes, the Freedom Mark should at least grant some flight ability, right?"
Lin Sai's heart was filled with anticipation.
However, today was also the last day of the three-day limit.
Although Ye Haiya was not in the city, Lin Sai's highly valued status made it inconvenient for him to leave.
"..."
After some contemplation, Lin Sai realized that the exploration over the past few days had now become useful.
Lin Sai: [Alice, should I update your module tonight?]
Alice: [Have you found an opportunity?]
Lin Sai: [I can't go out right now, but you can come in.]
Alice: [No, there are also Sixth Stage Awakened individuals in the city. The chances of me being discovered if I enter openly are high.]
Lin Sai: [You don't need to break in. I found a secret passage in the castle's underground that leads directly outside the city.
Alice: [A secret passage?]
Lin Sai: [Yes, it's probably a secret passage used for emergencies. I know how to open it. If you use it to infiltrate the castle, we can update your module without any issues!]
Alice: [How highly regarded are you that you even know about this place?]
Lin Sai: [I discovered it using my map skills.]
Alice: [Alright... What time tonight?]
Lin Sai: [Wait until my maid... until Lily falls asleep, and we'll start immediately.]
With the night's plan agreed upon, Lin Sai resumed organizing the wood in his possession.
Each of the three high-level Artisans, unwilling to be outdone, had sent him a piece of high-quality wood.
Besides the wood used for synthesizing the fishing rod, Lin Sai had two pieces left.
He studied the synthesis list of missing materials, and a striking formula caught his eye.
[1 Flame Feather + 1 High-Quality Wood + 1 Elite Beast Sinew + 2 Sunday Essences = Flame Bow]
In the Mooncry Mountain Range, Lin Sai's Iron Horn Great Bow had already shown signs of decline. Against high-stage Awakened individuals, the bow's arrows, limited by their speed, were easily evaded by enemies.
After the initial surprise attack with the Silent Edge, their combat effectiveness had diminished.
"Yeah, it's about time to upgrade our ranged weapons," Lindsey said without hesitation.
Since the materials at hand could be transformed into immediate combat power, he naturally wanted to give it a try.
[Weapon: Flame Bow]
[A longbow imbued with the sun's fire, possessing the effects of [Sun], [Flaming Arrow], [Explosive Flame], and [Heat Seeking]. Anyone who touches this bow without permission will be burned by the sun's fire; it can also be used as a material to craft other items.
Sun: When the holder bathes in the sun, all attributes increase by two points.
Flaming Arrow: The arrows fired from this bow automatically attach themselves to the sun's fire, dealing immense damage and suppressing damage to evil spirits, cold, and other elemental entities.
Explosive Flame: Consumes Essence to transform the power of the Flaming Arrow into an explosive nature, causing a violent explosion at the point of impact.
Heat Seeking: The arrows will lock onto the enemy's body temperature, performing a tracking attack for up to 5 seconds.
"Sun! Sun!!!"
[A powerful bow with high value.]
A bow with four attack attributes.
Although it couldn't provide Lindsey with the kind of shooting speed that exceeded the enemy's reaction time.
However, the Heat Seeking ability partially solved the problem.
At the very least, arrows fired from this bow would never be easily dodged by the enemy again.
The attack missed.
But the arrows that turned around in mid-air would definitely bring unparalleled surprise to the enemy!
Lindsey took out the Flame Bow, its surface glowing with an orange-red pattern, bringing warmth to his body in the darkness, as if he were holding a small sun in his hand.
He then placed the weapon on the workbench.
[Special Synthesis Formula Unlocked]
[1 Flame Bow + 1 Tsunami Bow + 1 Storm Bow + 1 Phantom Bow + 1 Thunder Bow + 1 Jungle Bow + 1 Glacier Bow = Sky Shredder]
As soon as the synthesis formula appeared, Lindsey knew he had it made.
A smile spread across his face.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that one of the materials needed to synthesize the Sky Shredder, the Jungle Bow, was already in his possession, and it was part of a set.
It was only because of its lower grade that he hadn't activated this hidden synthesis formula.
"..."
"After the Rainbow Light Sword, it's time for another super weapon synthesis."
After the initial joy, anxiety set in.
Aside from the Jungle Bow and the Flame Bow that he already possessed, Lindsey also had leads on synthesizing the other bows.
For example, the Storm Bow—
[1 Atmospheric Essence + 1 Premium Timber + 1 Elite Beast Sinew + 2 Stormy Boulders = Storm Bow]
A weapon from the archer series.
What he lacked was Premium Timber and special materials like the Stormy Boulder.
Especially the core constituent material.
And he also needed Atmospheric Essence?"
"Do I have to choose between the Freedom Mark and the bow?"
"No! That's not right! This thing is obtained from the Floating Island, not a unique existence like the World Junction. If I search more in this world, I might get new ones!"
Lindsey quickly pondered in his mind.
Just then, darkness fell outside the castle.
He heard the faint snoring from the maid next door, realizing she had fallen asleep, and the opportunity had arrived.
Lindsey immediately opened the friends channel.
Lindsey: [Alice, the opportunity is here!]
