Infinite Bloodcore-Chapter 538: Section 325: City Lord Borrows a Treasure

The City Lord of Snowbird Port made a secret visit this time, primarily to bring powerful equipment to the dragon-man youth.

Under the current circumstances, powerful equipment could quickly enhance an individual’s strength.

Equipping the dragon-man youth in advance would also allow him more time to familiarize himself with the use of the equipment, making the effects of the equipment perform better.

The City Lord of Snowbird Port took out a small bundle from his bosom.

This bundle was clearly a Golden Level treasure, able to completely conceal the aura of the contents inside.

The City Lord of Snowbird Port fully unfolded the small bundle.

The next moment, all the equipment was laid bare before the dragon-man youth.

The small bundle clearly lacked the ability to compress space; all the equipment was its actual size.

The pieces were all very small and delicate, consisting of many small and large rings.

The City Lord of Snowbird Port did not start with these rings, but instead picked up a scale with his fingers.

It was a white, semi-transparent dragon scale, only the size of an adult’s thumb.

The City Lord of Snowbird Port explained, "Long Fu squad leader, this is a badge from the Dragon’s Reverse Scale series, specifically the Sword Return Reverse Scale."

The dragon-man youth immediately nodded, "I’m aware of this series of alchemy treasures."

The Dragon’s Reverse Scale had a series of badges, the quality ranging from Bronze Level to Holy Domain Level.

The one the City Lord of Snowbird Port took out was naturally Golden Level.

All the equipment he intended to lend to the dragon-man youth was of this level.

The Dragon’s Reverse Scale series of Alchemy Badges primarily use dragon scales, which are quite extraordinary, utilizing only the singular reverse scale among all the dragon’s body scales.

The body of dragon-kind is covered in tough dragon scales, which have exceptional defensive capabilities.

However, among all the dragon scales, there is typically one special scale.

Almost all dragon scales grow normally, but only this special scale grows in reverse. Due to this feature, it is commonly known as the reverse scale.

The reverse scale is the weakest point in terms of defense among the dragon scales.

In many stories, the dragon-slaying heroes have exploited this defensive flaw to inflict severe or even fatal damage on dragons.

The dragon-man youth knew about this kind of alchemy equipment from his routine learning of dragon-kind knowledge, which he expanded during his readings.

For the youth, once his King of Flame Dragon bloodline concentration reached a certain stage, he too would develop a reverse scale.

Amongst the Dragon’s Reverse Scale series, the most classic product is the Dragon Reverse·Rage. When worn by a fighter, it accumulates rage every time an attack is received.

Once the rage reaches a certain level, it bursts forth, granting the fighter increases in strength, attack power, speed, and many other aspects.

Although the range of enhancement isn’t as extensive as the Big Arena Badge, the degree of enhancement is very high.

Once a rage burst occurs, it often gives the fighter several times the combat power for a short period, thereby changing the course of the battle and establishing victory.

The City Lord of Snowbird Port took the initiative to lend not the most classic piece of the Dragon’s Reverse Scale, but rather the relatively rare Dragon Reverse·Sword Return.

The City Lord of Snowbird Port detailed, "This alchemy badge uses the reverse scale of the Backsword Dragon. Every time the wearer receives a strike, whether in melee or at range, whether it’s Combat Skill, Magic, or Divine Arts, sword Qi will accumulate within the badge."

"Once it accumulates to the limit, it will burst forth, forming a terrifying torrent of sword Qi."

"Of course, if you can manage to take active control, you can also release it on your own. During the process of accumulating sword Qi, it can be emitted stroke by stroke. It is very precise and convenient, as long as you mentally lock onto the enemy."

The dragon-man youth nodded, a trace of joy appearing on his face, "With this, my long-range attack capability has been greatly augmented."

The dragon-man youth was only Silver Level, and Silver Level fighting energy couldn’t be condensed out of thin air like Gold Level; thus, the vast majority of his Combat Skills were close-range, almost none were long-range.

Considering his battles with Xiong Ju, the Spring Boxer, and others, Silver Level Combat Skills were close-range attacks.

When the strength isn’t enough, equipment compensates.

The Sword Return badge directly made up for the dragon-man youth’s deficiency in ranged combat.

Although he could also use the Alchemy Crossbow, the Sword Return badge could completely allow him to use it directly in melee through mental manipulation.

Convenient and swift, it matched his combat style perfectly.

The practical effects would far surpass that of crossbows!

The City Lord of Snowbird Port put down the Sword Return badge and took out the largest Golden Level item from the small bundle.

It was a spherical glass vial, about the size of a kiwi.

Zi Di had assembled potions with glass vials of various sizes.

The piece before the dragon-man youth was exceedingly high-end, reaching the Golden Level.

"This is an Automatic Blood Bottle," the City Lord announced, "you can temporarily swallow it into your stomach, or keep it in your mouth. When you want to speak, you can press it under your tongue, and still be able to speak somewhat."

"It has the function of storing potions."

"Don’t be fooled by its small and exquisite appearance; its internal space is large and can store a large amount of potion."

"As the name implies, its main function is automatic medication."

"Once your condition deteriorates, the potion will be automatically released and infused into your body."

"Its drawback is that it can only store healing potions, and the potions must be of the same kind. Different healing potions can’t be mixed together in the bottle, as this would cause incalculable damage to it."

The Dragon-man youth immediately praised, "Very practical."

He thought of his arduous battle with Xiong Ju.

In the final stages, both he and Xiong Ju were greatly exhausted and had to temporarily cease fighting, standing far apart from each other, desperately swallowing potions to boost their conditions.

With this automatic blood bottle, he wouldn’t need to be in such an awkward situation.

The blood bottle also had a hidden feature, which was his ability to take potions secretly, making it difficult for the opponent to notice.

This could lead to the opponent’s misjudgment.

For the time being, the Dragon-man youth could only think of this much.

The further practical value in real combat still needed to be explored by the Dragon-man youth.

Snowbird Port’s City Lord set the automatic blood bottle aside and took out the largest ring.

Before he could speak, the Dragon-man youth said, "I know this equipment, it’s the Heart of Ice Headband."

The main material of the Heart of Ice Headband was the Heart of Ice.

The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps had come to the Sculpture Kingdom, and one of their objectives was to purchase this alchemy treasure.

With the Heart of Ice Headband worn, a Mage could maintain composure at all times, their spiritual power would be amplified, casting speed increased, and personal will protected.

The last point was what the survivors valued most.

The Heart of Ice Headband could ensure the safety of the will!

The Snowbird Port City Lord nodded, "I saw that during your fight with Xiong Ju, you were quite suppressed by his Bear Roar Combat Skill. You need to strengthen your mental defense, especially since Teng Donglang commands such combat skills."

"Really?" The Dragon-man youth immediately caught this new piece of information, which the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps hadn’t collected.

Snowbird Port’s City Lord said, "I’ll talk to you about Teng Donglang’s information later. Next, I’m going to cover this set of equipment."

"You heard right."

"This is a set!"

Snowbird Port’s City Lord proudly pointed to the remaining rings of various sizes in the small bundle.

"These rings, each one is of Gold Level. But their real prowess lies in their ability to form a complete set."

"The set is named Vajra Protection."

The City Lord first took out an orange-gold small ring.

The ring was the size as if an adult bent their index finger, touching the tip to the tip of their thumb, forming a circle.

The ring was plump in shape, giving a heavy visual sensation.

"This is one of the components of the set, the Orange Steel Nose Ring. It can enhance your sense of smell but also helps you resist attacks from toxic gas and foul smells, acting as a filter."

The Snowbird Port City Lord then picked up an even smaller pair of rings with one hand.

The rings were half the size of the Orange Steel Nose Ring, more slender, and shimmered with a scarlet metallic luster.

"This pair is the Scarlet Steel Earrings, capable of enhancing your hearing while also helping you resist attacks like sound waves."

The City Lord continued.

"These pair of Green Steel Wristbands can increase your speed of action and provide some protection for your forearms and palms."

"The last are the Black Steel Ankle Rings, which can make you move faster, kick harder, and offer excellent defense for the lower limbs."

"Once all components are worn, the entire Vajra Protection set will have a spell called Vajra Body."

"Vajra Body makes everything around you incredibly hard, even areas like internal organs receive certain enhancements. You could consider it as an enhanced version of the Combat Skill Black Armor, or a comprehensive version of the Combat Skill Enveloping Silver."

"The key point is that Vajra Body is just a thin halo of light, not affecting any of your movements, yet it provides excellent defense against both swords and magic."

"What a treasure!" exclaimed the Dragon-man youth upon hearing the introduction, his eyes gleaming as he openly praised.

All components are of Gold Level, and the combined effect of the set spell Vajra Body can be imagined in terms of defensive capabilities!

The Dragon-man youth was already remarkably defensive.

With this set of equipment, even against Gold Level opponents, he might still hold a relative advantage.

Under the guidance of the Snowbird Port City Lord, the Dragon-man youth tried on all the equipment.

After last night’s battle, there was a foundation of trust between the two parties. Coupled with contractual restrictions, the Dragon-man youth used them boldly.

Before he had time to carefully contemplate, the Snowbird Port City Lord said, "Long Fu squad leader, you can familiarize yourself with these equipments later."

"I’m going to show you two segments of footage, both of Teng Donglang in combat."

The Dragon-man youth slightly raised his eyebrow, instantly feeling the difference in intelligence capability between them.

The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps had spent a lot of money and hadn’t collected any information on Teng Donglang’s combat abilities. Not only had the Snowbird Port City Lord gathered information, but he had also obtained two segments of footage!

"The first segment of the footage shows Teng Donglang’s performance in his service period." The City Lord placed the alchemy device on the floor and activated it directly.

The Dragon-man youth looked in that direction and saw a Snow Elf troop being attacked by a large pack of wolves amid a snowy storm.
