Chapter 39
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After finding a valley that was shaped like a mouth of a gourd, Vincent began his plan.
Just as Vincent started preparing, a red liquid suddenly shot out from behind him.
Vincent instinctively swung his saber to block it.
Dang!
His Black Battle Saber instantly melted, leaving a gap.
Vincent's pupils constricted.
The temperature was so high.
Although he was shocked by the situation, Vincent did not stay put and moved quickly instead.
At the same time, a giant python with a triangular head darted out and opened its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth.
Its four poisonous fangs flashed and emitted a cold light. It was targeting Vincent's neck.
"Lava Python!"
Vincent shouted in surprise.
Lava Python, a high-level monster that lived in lava. Its skin was rough, and its flesh was thick. Its venom was not only extremely poisonous, but it was also extremely hot.
There was no lava around, so it was impossible for a monster like Lava Python to exist.
This was the main reason why Vincent was surprised.
Although he was surprised, he was not afraid.
The Lava Python tried to attack Vincent twice but had failed.
It coiled around the spot where Vincent was standing before and stuck out its tongue. Its eyes were ice-cold.
Vincent twisted his saber, stomped on the ground, and dashed towards the Lava Python.
In the wilderness this round, Vincent did not use h.e.l.lfire.
This was because all of the monsters that he faced were too weak.
Although he was currently facing the Lava Python, a high-level monster, Vincent still did not plan to use h.e.l.lfire.
Nevertheless, he would not hold back if he was faced with a life-threatening situation.
Clang!
Vincent's saber struck the Lava Python's body, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
However, it did not cause any damage to the Lava Python. It did not even leave any marks.
Vincent quickly flipped over to dodge. He looked at the Lava Python and then looked at the saber that had been cracked open.
"This defense is indeed worthy for a monster that lives in lava."
Although his saber had been strengthened by the spiritual martial strengthening stone and became a C-Cla.s.s Black Battle Saber, it was still too weak against a high-level monster.
The Lava Python did not move at all. It looked at Vincent with a very human-like look, full of ridicule.
It suddenly opened its mouth wide and spat out crimson venom continuously.
It was like a machine gun. It had also blocked all of Vincent's escape routes.
Vincent knew that he had to use his superpower.
He snorted coldly. "Playing with fire, you're still too inexperienced!"
He attached h.e.l.lfire directly onto his saber and used Collapsing Mountain Strike.
Whoos.h.!.+
The h.e.l.lfire saber seemed to have been injected with chicken blood as it split open the crimson poison directly.

Before the Lava Python could react, Vincent had attacked.
It split directly into two from the middle.
Its eyes still maintained a half-mocking and half-shocked expression.
Its wound was charred black, and the smell of flesh mixed with the stench of fresh blood wafted out, making one nauseous.
Vincent swung his saber. After looking at the large and small cuts on it, he shook his head helplessly.
"Looks like I really have to change my saber this time."
A C-Cla.s.s Black Battle Saber was no longer enough for Vincent.
If he were to buy another, the lowest cla.s.s would have to be B-Cla.s.s.
However, a B-Cla.s.s saber would cost him at least 30 million.
It was simply not something that he could afford.
Hence, he thought of using his points to exchange for a saber with the Quinn School; even so, it was at least 200 points.
He had used up a lot of points when he was using the superpower training room. As such, he did not have many points left.
"Phew! I need to kill more monsters."
Vincent looked at the dense forest in the defensive mountain range and grinned.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a high-level monster,
"Do you wish to withdraw it?"
Just as Vincent was trying to figure out how to kill as many monsters as possible, the system's notification sounded. He was stunned for a moment, his face filled with shock after.
"Ah! B-Cla.s.s psionic blade?"
Vincent took it out quickly from the system's backpack. Once he held it, he was unable to put it down.
The Purgatory Blade was completely black. There were red and fiery patterns on it.
The outline of the blade looked like a picture.
However, Vincent was unable to see what it was.
There were three deep and shallow blood grooves on both sides of the blade.
There were barbs all around the blood grooves.
One could foresee that if the Purgatory Blade pierced through a human or monster and was pulled out, there would definitely be a few pieces of flesh and blood stuck to it.
"The Purgatory Blade really lives up to the name, Purgatory."
The Purgatory Blade was different from the Black Battle Saber.
Its entire blade was made of psionic ore, which could reduce the user's consumption of psionic power.
At the same time, it could increase one's superpower.
Moreover, if the monster's spiritual crystal was installed, it could also have additional bonus attributes.
For example, the spiritual crystal of the Lava Python that Vincent had just killed could make the Purgatory Blade contain poison.
At the same level, the value of the blade would become ten times its original price. It was priceless.
After looking at the attributes of the Purgatory Blade, Vincent was once again shocked.
This Purgatory Blade could actually evolve by devouring psionic weapons.
Vincent had never heard of this attribute before.
However, when he thought about how the system had a superpower upgrade gem that could upgrade superpowers, it was not surprising that a weapon could evolve.
After seeing that his C-Cla.s.s Black Battle Saber could no longer be used, Vincent chose to devour it.
When he pulled out the character panel, Vincent was filled with joy.

Due to the sudden appearance of the Lava Python, Vincent's plan was disrupted.
There was no way to continue using the mountain path. Thus, Vincent had to find another place.
After a long time of confusion and uncertainness, Vincent could roughly grasp the rules around the reward system.
The higher the monster's level, the stronger it was, and the more generous the system's rewards were.
Twenty minutes later, Vincent arrived at a lake.
The trees surrounding the lake were tall. Birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.
It seemed like the perfect place for an ambush.
However, the water surface that seemed calm would occasionally bubble.
This made Vincent hesitate on setting the ambush location there.
Obviously, there was something wrong at the bottom of the lake.
Vincent pondered for a moment, looked around, and finally decided to carry out his plan of farming monsters at the lake.
However, before that, he had to deal with the potential danger in the water first.
He did not want there to be anything that would fight him for monsters.
He took the opportunity to test the power of his Purgatory Blade.
After taking out his Purgatory Blade, Vincent hit the bottom of the lake directly using the Collapsing Mountain Strike.
Boom!
The water column soared into the sky!
An angry roar was heard from the bottom of the lake.
