Chapter 661: Successful Upgrade! The Thousand Changer
The Sacred Continent.
It is globally recognized as the foremost battlefield.
It is also where the world’s most elite professionals converge.
Previously mentioned, among the four forbidden zones, the greatest hostility toward the lower realm’s mortal races comes from the Ten Thousand Demons of the Abyssal Dungeon.
In other forbidden zone frontlines…
A world-shaking war might only occur once in a century.
But on the Sacred Continent…
Such wars erupt every few years, with countless professionals perishing tragically each time.
Thus, unlike other forbidden zone frontlines…
Professionals below level 50 have no qualification to set foot on the Sacred Continent.
Only professionals at level 80 and above are eligible to enter.
Moreover…
According to General Li, the Sacred Continent is an extraordinarily unique place, where one might even find a pathway to the upper realm.
As for how it is unique…
General Li didn’t elaborate, only telling Ling Zhan to experience it himself upon arrival.
………
Over the next three days…
Ling Zhan was far from idle, focusing on one task.
Upgrading his Thousand Mechanisms Ring into the Holy Artifact, Thousand Changer.
Now…
Ling Zhan had already advanced his secondary profession, Weapon Crafter, to the divine level.
As for materials…
The 100 SSS-grade Material Selection Gift Bags allowed Ling Zhan to gather all the required components to craft the Thousand Changer.
SSS-grade material ‘Phoenix Tear of Sorrow.’
SSS-grade material ‘Thousand Changer Divine Ore.’
SSS-grade material ‘Queen of Pain’s Heart.’
SSS-grade material ‘Blazing Dragon Blood.’
………
Following the blueprint for the Thousand Changer, Ling Zhan collected the materials and began crafting.
This required the divine-grade weapon crafting furnace in the Hundred Ghost Fortress.
When Ling Zhan arrived there, a crowd had already gathered to watch.
“Holy crap, Captain Ling’s level has reached 100!”
“Looks like the experience gained from defeating level-100 combatants is massive.”
“Wait, is he crafting a weapon?”
“Whoa! Look at the materials he’s putting into the furnace—every single one is SSS-grade!”
“No way! Captain Ling must be crafting a Holy Artifact. What other weapon would require so many SSS-grade materials?”
“I heard before that Captain Ling exchanged for the blueprint of the Holy Artifact, Thousand Changer. He must be crafting it now.”
“Thousand Changer!? That’s perfect for a non-specialist like him!”
………
Everyone spoke in awe, eyes fixed on Ling Zhan as he operated the divine-grade furnace.
Crafting a Holy Artifact had a notoriously low success rate.
No one knew if Captain Ling could succeed on his first try.
Ding!!
At this moment, the divine-grade furnace displayed a holographic control interface.
【Confirmed weapon to upgrade: Thousand Mechanisms Ring.】
【Current quality: Superior Spirit Artifact.】
【Please insert all prepared materials into the divine-grade furnace.】
Without hesitation…
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Ling Zhan placed all the SSS-grade materials into the furnace without a hint of reluctance.
【Materials confirmed!】
【According to the blueprint, the upgraded weapon will transform into ‘Thousand Changer.’】
Ding!
【All materials assembled!】
【Success rate for this upgrade: 10%.】
【Failure will result in the complete destruction of the Thousand Mechanisms Ring. Proceed with caution!】
Whoa!!
The display shocked the onlookers.
“What?! Only a 10% success rate? That’s practically guaranteed to break the weapon!”
“This success rate is absurd! No wonder so few dare to craft Holy Artifacts.”
“If this fails, Captain Ling will lose his weapon entirely…”
“Captain Ling, maybe wait for auxiliary materials to boost the success rate?”
“Yeah, this success rate is too low.”
The crowd began trying to dissuade Ling Zhan.
Even Zhou Xue’er wanted to step in to advise him.
However, just as she was about to speak…
Ding!!
Ling Zhan, his expression calm, pressed the ‘Start Upgrade’ button!
Whoa!!
The spectators were stunned!
“Holy crap! He really went for it!”
“No way this works, right?”
“10% success rate? If this succeeds, I’ll eat this divine-grade furnace!”
………
Amid the commotion…
The divine-grade furnace ignited with blazing blue flames.
After half an hour of smelting, the result would be revealed!
If the furnace emitted brilliant rainbow light, it meant a perfect upgrade.
If it glowed dull gray, the upgrade would fail, and the Thousand Mechanisms Ring would be destroyed.
Though the outcome was thirty minutes away…
The crowd was on edge.
However…
Ling Zhan, the person involved, remained calm, in stark contrast to the excited crowd.
This…
Damn!!
How could Captain Ling be so composed?
It was his weapon being upgraded, yet they were the ones nervous!
Ling Zhan even sipped a cup of tea leisurely, as if unconcerned about the outcome.
In the blink of an eye, thirty minutes passed.
The next moment, the result showed why Ling Zhan was so unruffled!
Buzz!!
The divine-grade furnace burst into dazzling light!
Not gray!!
But a breathtaking rainbow light!!
At that moment…
The crowd fell silent!
Everyone’s expressions froze in shock and disbelief!
The rainbow-like glow illuminated their stunned faces, creating an absurdly comedic scene.
Ding!
【Congratulations! Upgrade successful!】
【Your weapon ‘Thousand Mechanisms Ring’ has been upgraded to ‘Thousand Changer.’】
………
【Equipment: Thousand Changer.】
【Grade: Holy Artifact.】
【Attributes: None.】
【Enchantment Effect: None.】
【Holy Artifact Talent: Infinite Transformation.】
【Infinite Transformation: When replicating any weapon below Spirit Artifact level that you’ve seen, all attributes are enhanced by 200%. If replicating another’s Holy Artifact, its attributes and enchantments are reduced to 80%.】
………
“Finally got it!”
Ling Zhan admired the ring with satisfaction.
The ring’s appearance hadn’t changed much, but its Holy Artifact aura was undeniable.
Meanwhile, the onlookers were utterly dumbfounded!
A 10% success rate, and he succeeded?!
Is there no justice?!
Strong, handsome, and now unbelievably lucky?
He’s practically the chosen one!
However…
What they didn’t know was…
Ling Zhan had consumed a Lucky Potion beforehand.
A system product—always premium quality!
With the Lucky Potion’s boost, failure wasn’t even an option!
