My Crazy Upgrade System

Chapter 268: Chapter 267: I Belong to the Merak Sect

Yi Tianyun quickly recalled the Black Dragon and switched to the Phoenix Wings, flying toward the Merak Sect. Since he was now at the Core Formation Stage, his speed was astonishing.

"Ding! Successfully completed the ’Eradicate the Scourge of Divine Rune Mansion’ mission. Received 10,000,000 experience, 100,000 Madness Value, one Tyrant Pattern Paper, one spin on the Enhancement Wheel, 100 Character Value, and 1,000 Sin Value!"

The mission completion rewards were only just now popping up. A huge pile of rewards appeared one after another, leaving Yi Tianyun very satisfied. He was pleased with every single one of them. Not only did his Character Value increase significantly, but his Sin Value also saw a substantial rise.

’These kinds of missions are the more, the merrier. I’ll take as many as I can get.’ However, a certain level of malevolence was required to trigger such a mission.

"It seems even the System couldn’t stand by and watch, so it had me eradicate the Divine Rune Mansion," Yi Tianyun said with a smile and a nod.

He immediately opened the Enhanced Lottery Wheel. Now that he had a chance to draw, he was definitely going to use it right away. There was no point in saving it.

’I wonder what I’ll get this time?’ Yi Tianyun felt a surge of excitement. Last time, he’d gotten the Ice Divine Bow, which was a super-weapon. He didn’t know what kind of top-tier weapon or other ultimate Treasure he might get from the next tier.

He first activated his Luck Aura, then started the Enhanced Lottery Wheel, which began to spin wildly. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

He just watched, ready to accept whatever he got. He had completely calmed his mind.

Soon, the pointer came to a stop, landing on the "Cultivation Technique" category! This was the first time he’d ever drawn an enhanced version of a skill-type item. He wondered what kind of skill it would be.

DING! DONG...

A box dropped down. Yi Tianyun took a deep breath and slowly opened it. A dazzling Martial Arts manual appeared before his eyes—*Shadow Clone*!

Shadow Clone: A high-grade Earth Level Martial Arts, upgradable. It can create three clones identical to the user, each possessing 30% of the user’s power. Duration: ten minutes. Cooldown: two hours! As its level increases, the clones’ power grows stronger, eventually reaching 100% of the user’s strength.

"What a great item!"

Yi Tianyun exclaimed in surprise. This was an Illusion Attack, which meant he now had a few extra helpers and, more importantly, a few more decoys to confuse his enemies. He could send a clone out to distract an opponent while he slipped away. ’Perfect.’ freeweɓnovel.cѳm

He especially liked that its power would increase as its level went up. That was exactly what he needed. For now, 30% power was a bit too low. ’It’s a high-grade Earth Level Martial Arts right now. To reach 100% power, I’m guessing it needs to be at least a high-grade Heaven Level Martial Arts, right?’

Upgrading it would be extremely difficult. He had plundered quite a few Treasures and had a decent number of high-grade Earth Level Martial Arts manuals, but to feed them into this one just for Skill Level... well, that would be just plain stupid.

Converting them into Madness Value would net him at least tens of thousands of points. But if he converted them into Skill Level, he’d get a few hundred points at most, which was pitifully low. It was better to give them to the Merak Sect or the Celestial Extreme Mansion, or just sell them for Madness Value. That was a much better deal.

Unless he was just a few hundred or a thousand Skill Level points short, he really couldn’t bring himself to sacrifice them.

For example, upgrading a high-grade Earth Level Martial Arts to a low-grade Heaven Level Martial Arts required one million Skill Level points. How was that even possible? Assuming one manual gave 500 Skill Level points, he would need two hundred manuals to fill that gap.

Two hundred high-grade Earth Level Martial Arts manuals... if each one sold for 10,000 Madness Value in the shop, that would mean two million! Spending two million points to upgrade one Earth Level Martial Arts to Heaven Level... unless he had an absurd number of manuals, he really couldn’t play like that.

In reality, he didn’t have many at all. High-grade Earth Level Martial Arts were considered quite rare even among Third-Grade Factions. While flying, he checked Thunder Dominating Ancestor’s loot and found only two or three high-grade manuals, though there were a few more mid-grade Earth Level ones.

However, to increase Skill Level by sacrificing other manuals, they had to be of the same grade, even if they weren’t the same type of technique. This meant upgrading was far too difficult. The only other way was to increase the Skill Level by using the technique repeatedly.

For the time being, Yi Tianyun didn’t plan to focus on this. Otherwise, he’d suffer a huge loss. His options were to either sell what he didn’t need or trade for new Martial Arts.

Aside from Martial Arts, he was more diligent about swapping out his weapons. He had already cleared out many of his old items, converting them into Madness Value. He had also sold off the Martial Arts manuals obtained from killing enemies, not keeping many for himself.

Suddenly, his inventory felt much cleaner, and his Madness Value had stacked up to over three million!

’Not bad, not bad. Over three million Madness Value, and more than fifty thousand Sin Value... My Divine Rune Mastery... I’m less than five thousand points away from leveling up!?’

While checking his Attributes, Yi Tianyun discovered he was less than five thousand points away from upgrading his Divine Rune Mastery, which was a pleasant surprise. This was all thanks to the Fivefold Skill Card and wiping out the Divine Rune Mansion, which had made his proficiency skyrocket.

If he had to rely on the usual method of continuously Engraving Divine Patterns, reaching this number would have taken a very long time.

As he was sorting through his things, he quickly arrived back in the Merak Sect’s territory. He had just returned when he saw that a large area outside the Celestial Sinking Ruins had been cleared out and designated as a Martial Arts Plaza. Many female disciples were there, practicing their martial arts.

It looked like there were many new faces, all training hard. The one guiding them was none other than Liu Menglian. Her cultivation was no longer low; she had reached the eighth or ninth level of the Spirit Refining Stage. She was more than qualified to teach these new disciples.

"Very good. It looks like everything is quite orderly." Yi Tianyun nodded in satisfaction. It seemed he didn’t need to worry about this place at all. With so many outstanding disciples, he had no doubt the Merak Sect would continue to improve.

As he flew down, he walked over with a smile. But he had only taken a few steps when a young woman pointed her sword at him and said, "Who goes there? How dare you trespass in our Merak Sect!"

Yi Tianyun froze for a moment. Seeing her unfamiliar face, he knew she had never seen him before, which explained her hostility. Her sharp cry attracted many other disciples, who all rushed over and shielded the young woman behind them. "Junior Sister Yu, stand back! Don’t let him hurt you!"

They then glared at Yi Tianyun and said, "You dare trespass in our Merak Sect! State your affiliation, or don’t blame us for being impolite!"

This was already the Martial Arts Plaza. Further out, there was a main gate, simply blocked by a wooden fence. Anyone wishing to visit would have to be escorted in by the guards posted outside. Appearing suddenly like this was definitely considered trespassing.

"Well... I’m part of the Merak Sect," Yi Tianyun said, unable to help but smile as he looked at this new generation of disciples. It seemed they were quite united.
