Manticore's Thorn

[You have obtained the equipment: +3 Crimson Curved Dagger.]

The blue light dissipated, and a crimson dagger appeared in Bai Pu's hand. The spine of the dagger was curved like a shark's back, and there were twinkling lights flowing, making it look quite appealing.

This was an elite-grade blue equipment. Because it was enhanced to +3, its attack power was as high as 4~8, which was comparable to the base attack power of a two-handed weapon.

In addition, this [Crimson Curved Dagger] also came with a very practical passive skill: Bloodsucking. This weapon would steal 10% of the damage value to heal the wielder.

The equipment drawn from the bloody treasure chest, like the equipment drawn from the normal loot treasure chest, was in a "sealed" state and could be used directly.

The difference was that many of the equipment in the bloody treasure chest had been "enhanced" by Awakened ones using Spirit Energy Points, while the equipment in the loot treasure chest did not have such a benefit.

Unfortunately, the [Crimson Curved Dagger] required a base agility of 10 points. Bai Pu could only hold it, but could not use it, and could not exert its attributes and effects, so he put it away for now.

Then, Bai Pu clicked on the middle bloody card.

In an instant, Bai Pu was overjoyed. After the card was flipped, what flashed was... golden light!

The light converged, and a piece of equipment appeared in Bai Pu's hand.

This piece of equipment didn't look very good. It was about the size of a palm, dark, and somewhat elastic, like it was made from the internal organs of some animal.

[You have obtained the equipment: +4 Manticore's Thorn]

[Manticore's Thorn +4 (Sealed)]

[Quality: Heroic (Gold)]

[Equipment Slot: Accessory]

[Equipment Requirement: None]

[Attributes: Agility +3]

[Additional Skill: Poison Coating: Coat the weapon with poison. When dealing sharp damage to an enemy, Manticore's Poison can be stacked, up to 3 layers. The poison lasts for 12 seconds and can be refreshed; the weapon coating lasts for 60 minutes.]

[+4 Effect: Toxin Purification: Passive, makes the Manticore's poison ignore the opponent's resistance and damage reduction abilities, dealing full damage. The additional priority of this effect is (3).]

[Durability: 39/40]

[Description: This is the venom gland of a powerful female manticore, made by a hermit of Sandstone City.]

As expected of golden equipment! Not only did it have a powerful skill to stack poison, but it also came with 3 points of agility! If Bai Pu could use this accessory, he could make up for his weakness in dealing with single powerful enemies.

At the stage of low-level Awakened, no one could withstand 3 layers of Manticore's Poison that ignored resistance! However, Manticore's Poison needed to be coated on a weapon that could deal sharp damage...

Bai Pu looked down at his [Smooth Bone Hammer]. At this moment, he really wanted to exchange it for a knife or a sword! "I'll go to the God Strategy Army's quartermaster department later and exchange it for a weapon. Anyway, it's white equipment, so I won't feel bad about exchanging it!" Bai Pu muttered.

It is worth mentioning that the [Toxin Purification]'s additional priority for ignoring damage reduction effects is 3, plus Fish Intestine's 2 points of priority as an elite profession, the overall priority is as high as 5 points. However, Bai Pu's [Inactivated Blood Image] form can forcibly break the effect of "ignoring damage reduction and dealing full damage"!

It seems that the priority of the [Evolution Heart] talent is even higher than Bai Pu imagined.

Now [Self-Adaptive Evolution] has stored 4 evolution forms, namely: [Keratinous Skin] corresponding to sharp damage, [Fluid Skeleton] corresponding to blunt damage, [Icy Body] corresponding to frost damage, and [Inactivated Blood Image] corresponding to poison damage.

If he encounters new damage types next time and wants to store a new form, he will have to delete an old form, because [Self-Adaptive Evolution] can only store a maximum of 4 evolution forms.

The influence of Blood Hand Colen's Gene Fragment gradually faded away, and the feeling of arrogance and looking down on everything disappeared.

The 8 points of strength bonus disappeared, but the superb fighting skills of Blood Hand Colen still left a deep impression on Bai Pu. He opened his attribute panel and found that his fighting expertise had actually increased a lot in proficiency, reaching advanced level 1!

It's a pity that after this fusion, Blood Hand Colen's Gene Fragment has disappeared. In the [Gene Fragment]'s fusionable strongman images, Colen's figure is no longer there.

Replaced by the image of Fish Intestine, Bai Pu also absorbed 3 points of Life Source from him just now when Fish Intestine died.

"Fish Intestine said before he died that this is not the end, but the beginning." Bai Pu thought silently, "He is right. The Superpower Corporation will not stop retaliating against me, and I cannot stop moving forward! I also want to seize the living tissue of the Origin Heart from the Superpower Corporation, and I want to advance to a Heroic Profession!"

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Bai Pu took off the [Iron Thorn Shoulder Guard] and once again traced the incantations of the [Flesh Armor].

Jiangnan Special Military Base, General Control Room.

Li Ling and Xiang Yinghua watched a silent movie.

After watching Bai Pu kill Fish Intestine, Li Ling and Xiang Yinghua looked at each other.

The former was shocked, and the latter was surprised.

Li Ling took the lead and said, "Instructor Xiang, according to regulations, Bai Pu's video data must be kept confidential."

Xiang Yinghua nodded: "Well, don't worry, I definitely won't talk nonsense casually, and the video data will not be leaked to third-party forces unless necessary."

After making the guarantee, Xiang Yinghua issued a notice to the two special operations teams in the Intersection Lands, ordering the cancellation and continuing the drill according to the original plan.

The team of Awakened soldiers guarding the entrance passage of the Intersection Lands also reported the news that they had successfully captured the female Awakened codenamed "Containing Light".

"Interrogate this woman later, and give me a copy of the confession." Li Ling said, "This woman is a member of the Superstar Alliance. This assassination must be related to the Superstar Alliance. Her confession is the evidence!"

"You can't be too optimistic. These big consortia and big forces are deeply rooted and regard the law as nothing. The country has long wanted to move against them, but there is no way to start."

Xiang Yinghua shook his head and said, "There are too many ways for the Superstar Alliance to clear its name. The law emphasizes evidence, and a single piece of evidence is not enough. A confession is useless."

Li Ling also knew this was the truth, but the efforts that should be made still had to be made: "I can't just watch the Genius Camp members of the God Strategy Army being assassinated, and even using bloody props, and do nothing, right?"

Xiang Yinghua nodded slightly: "What you said is true, you must have an attitude of doing your best."

Li Ling looked at Bai Pu on the monitoring screen and said softly: "I originally thought that Bai Pu was joking when he said he wanted to get the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but now it seems that he is not completely talking big."

"What?" Xiang Yinghua thought he didn't hear clearly, and repeated, "Are you talking about the top scorer in the college entrance examination?"

After receiving Li Ling's confirmation, Xiang Yinghua shook his head repeatedly: "This young man can only be said to have good potential, but his level is too low, it is impossible to get the first place in the country."

"That's because you don't know how long Bai Pu has been Awakened!" Li Ling found it difficult to express her shock in words. It has only been about a month since he Awakened, and Bai Pu has already risen to level 2. Facing the sneak attack of two level 3 Awakened, he can still kill one and drive away the other! She increasingly felt that Bai Pu was a good seedling with unlimited potential.

Before long, Li Ling received a message. Her brows furrowed immediately.

"As expected, just like the instructor predicted, the Superstar Alliance had already expelled Poison Thorn and Containing Light three days ago, on the grounds that the two had caused huge losses to the group..."

Li Ling sighed, "It seems that this time, there is no way to follow the vine and teach the Superpower Corporation a lesson."
