Chapter 956: Full Team Upgrade Success!
The scene before them could only be described as a miracle.
They had never seen anything like this!
Not even heard of it!
Every person present looked absolutely stunned.
So much so that they were left speechless by the emergence of the rainbow brilliance.
If anyone could remain calm and composed in this moment…
It was undoubtedly only Ling Zhan.
He had long been prepared for this sight.
The system's Lucky Potion was just that good.
Truly the savior of the unluckiest players.
The probability of a perfect success was said to be 0.00001%.
Which was basically zero.
Statistically speaking, with so many people upgrading Sacred Artifacts over the ages, there should have been a few flukes.
But there hadn't been!
Not a single example!
At least, not any publicly documented cases.
As for those done in secret and never reported—we can't know.
At this point, someone might ask...
If manual upgrades are so unlikely, and no one succeeded publicly, where did those 3-star, 4-star, even 7 or 8-star Sacred Artifacts come from?
This brings us to a certain dungeon—
[Ruins Rift].
Only level 200 Professionals are eligible to enter this dungeon.
And upon clearing it, they complete the trial and ascend to the upper realm.
As a reward to the kingdom that raised such ascendants, perhaps in accordance with this world's divine laws, a World Ascension Chest is granted.
This chest contains one hundred Equipment Upgrade Scrolls.
[Equipment Upgrade Scroll]: Using this item gives a 75% success chance when upgrading gear, and even if it fails, the gear remains intact.
It's because of these scrolls that high-star Sacred Artifacts exist.
Furthermore…
You can also get upgrade scrolls through battlefield merit!
On the frontlines of the Four Forbidden Grounds, you can earn merit by continuously slaying enemies.
Merit can be exchanged for all kinds of rewards.
Including [Equipment Upgrade Scrolls].
Of course…
Most small kingdoms don't have this.
Because they've never produced a single ascendant or cleared the [Ruins Rift] dungeon.
Only superpower kingdoms have access to the military vaults that offer upgrade scrolls.
So…
Many top players from small kingdoms change their nationality and join other nations' legions.
Only Professionals of that nation can claim its exclusive rewards.
Now—
Ling Zhan's one hundred Sacred Artifacts upgraded perfectly at once, with two-star jumps—this wasn't just a twofold power boost for Professionals!
It was tenfold!
Upgrading a Sacred Artifact greatly increases its base stats and effects.
Meaning every owner's combat power had skyrocketed!
"Don't get excited. Keep tossing in gear."
As the rainbow glow faded and members pulled out their upgraded Sacred Artifacts with shaking hands, Ling Zhan calmly interrupted their joy with a steady command.
Hearing this, everyone tried to suppress their excitement, though their faces still trembled.
There were still many more Sacred Artifacts left!
Could it be…
Commander Ling Zhan planned to upgrade everything today?
And at this outrageous success rate…
Clang!!
At that moment—
Everyone's breath quickened as they watched one hundred Demon-Slaying Legion members throw gear and materials into the furnaces.
Then…
Buzz!!
Ling Zhan, as expressionless as ever, hit the activation button again.
Ten seconds later…
Buzz!!
A second wave of rainbow brilliance burst before their eyes!
Whoosh!!
With that—
The Amethyst Legion veterans couldn't hold back anymore!
"Holy shit! My eyes! This rainbow glow is blinding me!"
"What the hell!? Second round and still 100% perfect success!?"
"It's over! I regret it! Can I still hand over my materials and gear to you, Commander Ling Zhan!?"
"..."
Amidst the shouts—
The veterans' regret was clear.
Staring at that second rainbow wave, their faces were full of remorse and envy.
But Ling Zhan ignored them.
"Continue."
Right now, Ling Zhan was like a supervisor on an assembly line.
Calmly and systematically issuing orders.
In his eyes, these Sacred Artifacts were nothing more than mass-produced goods.
Their success couldn't shake him in the slightest.
Third round!
Buzz!!
Rainbow light! Another perfect success!
Fourth round!
Fifth round!
Sixth round!
......
The Amethyst Legion's veterans who had initially mocked the idea now looked numb.
They never imagined…
Even assembly lines produce defective goods sometimes.
But Ling Zhan? Every single upgrade was a perfect success!
Not even a trace of ordinary gold success!
Some tried to record video.
But this was the Heavenly Demon Valley.
A forbidden frontline battlefield.
A top military zone.
No one below general rank was allowed to carry any image-recording tech or items.
Let's not forget—
The Demon Arrival Organization was still active.
If anyone recorded and leaked footage from this frontline, it would give intel to the Ten Thousand Demons Fortress.
And once they had a clear view of your troop layout, how would you win?
You'd be fighting blind.
So even though people wanted to record these miraculous scenes, it was impossible.
For the next half a day—
The entire area was flooded in rainbow light.
One by one, newly upgraded Sacred Artifacts were handed to their owners.
And those owners were beaming—smiles wider than on New Year's.
The only unhappy ones…
Were those who'd lost their life savings on bets, or hadn't gotten their gear upgraded.
Their faces were full of regret—true losses all around.
Every single member of the Demon-Slaying Legion had succeeded in upgrading.
Their overall combat power didn't just double.
If they returned to the battlefield now, the Demon-Slaying Legion would show the trash of the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss what total domination looked like!
