"Wow—! Sister Yang, your weapon is too amazing!" Lan Xiran exclaimed, seeing the Jiaotu Sword's attributes for the first time! Not only him, but even Lin Zheng and the others who had seen the Jiaotu Sword were surprised! The attack upper limit had more than doubled, and the additional attributes had also increased significantly. The most outrageous thing was that it had actually pirated the Swordfighter's signature skill, "True · Flame Slash"!
"Liu Mang!" Lin Zheng gritted his teeth, glaring at Yang Qi, who was beaming with joy. Such a good weapon made him envious, jealous, and hateful! To make matters worse, the sword was actually given to her by Lin Zheng! "I declare! Anything dropped by the boss has nothing to do with you! If you're not convinced, let's have a one-on-one offline!"
"Damn it! I despise you!" Yang Qi said with a displeased expression, but then she immediately became happy again. The Jiaotu Sword had leveled up, so it didn't matter if she didn't get anything from the boss. Besides, a one-on-one offline? How could she, a weak woman, possibly be a match for Lin Zheng, that beast?
After the shock of the Jiaotu Sword, the group became much calmer when facing the boss's drops. No matter how powerful, it was still just a Dark Gold boss. The rare Purple Gold weapon had already been 'eaten' by Yang Qi's Jiaotu Sword, so the chance of anything better than a Purple Gold item dropping was extremely slim. Lin Zheng was still the one to loot the body. The gold coins scattered on the ground were temporarily ignored; everyone's attention was focused on the items dropped by the boss, which included a sword, a pair of shoes, a cloak, and a shimmering gold skill book. Lin Zheng first picked up the sword. It was a rapier, with a blade no more than an inch wide, entirely pure white. The hilt was designed to look like a white-robed angel, appearing very ornate! Xiao Meng immediately fell in love with it and wanted to snatch it from Lin Zheng's hand! However, as soon as Lin Zheng displayed the sword's attributes, Xiao Meng instantly wilted!

...
Xiao Meng whined a few times, complaining, "Why is it a weapon fashion? It's infuriating!"
"Without a doubt, this belongs to Lilith!" Lin Zheng said with a humorous look at the dejected Xiao Meng. Lilith smiled pleasantly and took the ceremonial sword from Lin Zheng's hand. However, her level wasn't high enough yet, so she couldn't use it for now. To divert Xiao Meng's dissatisfaction, Lin Zheng picked up the second item, the shoes.

These were cloth shoes, with a beautiful name and incredibly powerful attributes! Although Xiao Meng's eyes were full of stars, she cared more about Youxi than herself, so without any dissatisfaction, she happily snatched the shoes and handed them to Youxi. As for when Youxi would be able to use them, that wasn't Xiao Meng's concern; they would be used eventually! And she had already set her sights on the remaining beautiful white cloak; it had to be hers! Seeing her eagerness, Lin Zheng smiled and, without even looking, tossed the cloak to her. Xiao Meng happily took the cloak and, revealing its attributes, saw—
Moonlit Cloak: Level Requirement 55, Gold Item
Physical Defense 245, Magic Defense 250
Strength: Strength +29
Stamina: Stamina +35
Insight: Dodge Rate +4%
Self-Healing: Restores 1% Max HP per second
...
It was indeed a very powerful piece of equipment! A Level 55 Gold cloak, although its quality wasn't extremely high, cloaks were very rare, and their value was no less than that of ordinary Dark Gold equipment! Xiao Meng happily hugged the cloak, but at the same time, she was quite troubled. She could only equip it at Level 55, and she had just reached Level 40, which was too far from Level 55!
Ignoring the troubled Xiao Meng, Lin Zheng picked up the last item dropped by the boss—a skill book. He casually picked up the skill book and took a look, and Lin Zheng was instantly stunned!
Forced Assembly: A skill that only a Swordfighter can comprehend. It forcibly assembles an additional bladed weapon with an equipped bladed weapon into a Sword Blade Bow. The assembled Sword Blade Bow will possess some of the additional weapon's attributes. The Disassembly skill can restore the weapon to its original state.
When Yang Qi saw this skill, she was shocked! She couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god! This skill is too ridiculous! Forcibly assembling two items into one, isn't that equivalent to equipping one more weapon than others?"
"Look closely, it's 'some' attributes! 'Some'!" Lin Zheng emphasized, "It's not as exaggerated as you say!"
"That's still ridiculous enough!" Yang Qi shouted, "Hurry up and learn it, let's see what the specific effect is!"
"Wait! There's another Swordfighter here!" Lin Zheng pointed at Lan Xiran. According to team principles, it would be against the rules for Lin Zheng to silently monopolize the skill book at this point. Yang Qi was stunned and looked at Lan Xiran. This 'Hideyoshi' had been slacking off so much that she almost forgot he was there. Indeed, according to the game's team principles, Lan Xiran also had the right to share this book!
Lan Xiran blinked and said, "Why are you looking at me? I'm already happy that you're taking me to level up. There's no need to include me in sharing items! Besides, I wouldn't snatch something that Brother can use!"
"So obedient!" Lilith happily hugged the sensible Xiran. This is what a harmonious team was like!
Since there were no competitors, Lin Zheng unceremoniously opened the skill book and learned it. Then he opened the skill description to see:
Forced Assembly: Cannot be upgraded. Forcibly assembles an additional bladed weapon with an equipped bladed weapon into a Sword Blade Bow. The assembled Sword Blade Bow will possess all of the additional weapon's bonus attributes and 10% of its base attack. The Disassembly skill can restore the weapon to its original state (the weapon used for assembly must meet the wielder's level requirements).
When Lin Zheng explained the skill's effect, everyone gasped in admiration. This skill was simply too amazing!
"It seems you'll have to look for bladed weapons from now on, otherwise this skill will be wasted!" Yang Qi exclaimed.
"Mm!" Lin Zheng nodded, then stared at Yang Qi with a mischievous look, "I think so too!"
"Oh no!" Yang Qi immediately hugged her Jiaotu Sword tightly. Lin Zheng thought that even if it were her child, she wouldn't be so anxious! "You're not allowed to covet it!"
Hehe—" Lin Zheng said nothing, just gave a wicked laugh, scaring Yang Qi so much that she almost unequipped the Jiaotu Sword and put it back in her bag!
"Alright, stop fooling around! Be careful not to accidentally unequip the Jiaotu Sword. If you do, you won't be able to equip it until Level 50. Let's see how you'll die then!" Lin Zheng glared at Yang Qi.
"You're really not coveting it?" Yang Qi asked suspiciously. Lin Zheng rolled his eyes directly. This guy actually took it seriously. "If you say that again, I really will covet it!"
"I despise you, you can't play like that!" Yang Qi said, sighing with relief, which made Lilith and Xiao Meng chuckle. Yang Qi, this beauty, was really interesting; sometimes she was as cunning as a fox, and sometimes as foolish as a pig! Lin Zheng was utterly speechless. This woman was truly a gem!
