"Choose! Upgrade the quality of the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist!" With Zhang Yanhang making his autonomous choice, the familiar Time Pause descended once again, and at the same time, a text option box related to it appeared in front of Zhang Yanhang.
[Would you like to upgrade the quality of the ’Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist’?]
[Option One: Yes (Consume two Dark Purple Quality Weapons ’Refined Crimson Iron Short Swords’ to upgrade the ’Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist’ to Light Golden Quality.)]
[Option Two: Yes (Consume a ’Buddha Relic’ to upgrade the ’Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist’ to Light Golden Quality.)]
[Option Three: No (Although you already have two spare Dark Purple Quality Weapons, you suddenly lose interest in upgrading the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist quality for the time being, feeling you might need to rest a bit.)]
"Rest? My physical strength is quite abundant right now, why should I rest? Resting is impossible, so I choose Option One and upgrade the quality of the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist immediately."
Zhang Yanhang felt that the reason why the third option suggested resting was probably because his Energy Value had once again been significantly reduced after the fusion with Refined Crimson Iron +7.
When Zhang Yanhang had made his final choice, the two Dark Purple Quality Refined Crimson Iron Short Swords that were placed next to the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist disappeared suddenly, just like last time, without any warning. In contrast, the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist itself lit up with a ring of light gold glow, signifying its present quality.
By the way, it’s worth mentioning that aside from the most basic Grey Equipment, all equipment possesses such a glow, even White quality is no exception, also featuring a faint white light.
However, this halo symbolizing equipment quality can be turned on and off at will. Because Zhang Yanhang is covered in equipment from head to toe, turning on this glow would result in pure light pollution.
Therefore, in order to avoid basking in light pollution, Zhang Yanhang generally turns off this glow the moment he acquires the equipment, mainly because it’s really of no use. This update is available on novelꞁire.net
If having this layer of light pollution were to increase combat power, perhaps Zhang Yanhang would consider it for a moment, but this isn’t some sort of Ashen QQ Showoff, having pretty skin truly has no practical use.
At most, it could serve to show off to other Awakeners using this layer of light pollution, but with Zhang Yanhang’s reclusive nature, he has no interest in doing such things. With that time, he’d rather consider how to trigger more adventures to quickly increase his own strength.
After the quality of the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist was upgraded to Light Golden, Zhang Yanhang immediately checked its attribute list to see how much stronger Light Golden Quality Weapons are compared to the previous Dark Purple ones.
He had high expectations for Light Golden Quality Weapons because they are the highest quality weapons he had access to at the moment. As for even higher-level Golden Items, Zhang Yanhang estimated that he wouldn’t be able to get them anytime soon, and if he could, the only way to get them would likely be through an Ashen Treasure Box.
So, it all comes back down to the issue regarding clearing out the Crimson Iron Ant Nest. If he could successfully clear the small-scale Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu, then it might be possible for Zhang Yanhang to obtain Golden Items or even items of higher quality than Golden from the Ashen Treasure Box of the Crimson Iron Ant Nest.
As for what higher quality than Golden might be, based on the naming style of Ashen World’s equipment, especially considering the existence of Dark Purple Quality, Zhang Yanhang felt he had every reason to suspect that a likely stronger quality than Golden would be Dark Gold Quality.

[Introduction: I don’t know why, but recently an outsider, after seeing me wearing the gloves specialized for converting heretics of Buddha-level and routinely converting Heretics with them, inexplicably called me ’One Punch Man’. —— From an Arhat Level Conversion Agency Executioner]
"This time, just like before, the upgrade requirements also increased by ten points, with the Strength requirement jumping from the original thirty to now forty. Fortunately, my attribute values increased quickly after my promotion to the Second Tier, otherwise after upgrading to Light Golden Quality, I wouldn’t even meet the equipment requirements."
Unlike before, where Zhang Yanhang would start reading the attribute list from the top, this time, he actually started from the bottom because the information marked there is truly important, especially the usage requirements, item score, and upgrade conditions.
"I remember when I first acquired the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist, it was a Purple Quality full-score weapon. After upgrading once, it turned into Dark Purple Quality full-score. Now, after its second upgrade, the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist still maintains a full score in Light Golden Quality.
With just a simple upgrade, the score skyrocketed by ninety points. Is the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist really that powerful?"
Zhang Yanhang’s only thought now is that Land of the Buddha must be some high-level map, to be able to entrust such high-level weapons to an Executioner; conservatively, it has to be at least a Fifth Tier, if not Sixth Tier or higher map. It would actually be strange if the weapons produced by such high-rank maps were not powerful.
The reason for such an estimation is that although Arhat represents the highest level within the Arhats, it seems rather insignificant compared to the higher levels of Bodhisattvas and various true Buddhas.
