Among them, Thunderclap Iai, as a scabbard, has excellent attributes, and its skill has great growth potential.
However, the decayed emissary's attack power was too low. If it wasn't increased, it would be difficult to cause effective damage to enemies. If the damage was too low, it wouldn't be able to inflict negative effects on enemies, and thus wouldn't be able to reduce their attributes.

--- After enhancing these two pieces of equipment, Qin Jie already felt a chill down his spine. He turned his head and saw many people looking at him.
Among these gazes were greed, jealousy, envy, and anger. It seemed Qin Jie's continuous enhancements had attracted a lot of attention.
Qin Jie ignored these gazes. They were just the dark stares of some weaklings; he didn't care if they looked, it wasn't like they could do anything to him.
He turned and walked towards the Skill Enhancement Hall.
He currently had 10 soul crystal (small), which could be used to enhance his technical skills.
Currently, there were two skills that could be enhanced using soul crystal (small): Slaughter Specialization and Remote Control Specialization.
Skills gain an additional enhancement when upgraded to LV10, so it was best to use all ten soul crystal (small) to enhance one skill.
In fact, both Slaughter Specialization and Remote Control Specialization were very good, but Qin Jie thought for a moment and finally decided to raise Slaughter Specialization to LV10.
Enhancing to Rank 10 required 10,000 paradise coins and ten soul crystal (small). After Qin Jie chose to enhance, his vision suddenly went black.
When he came to, the surroundings had become a battlefield, and the smell of blood rushed into his nostrils.
Urgent footsteps came from afar, and dozens of red-eyed alien monsters charged directly at Qin Jie.
These aliens were covered in green scales, their claws glowed with a faint green light as if poisoned, and their teeth dripped with saliva and blood, as if they wanted to dismember Qin Jie.
And Qin Jie naturally wouldn't let these aliens eat him.
These aliens were generally weak and slow, so trying to harm Qin Jie could be called wishful thinking.
The devouring abyss was unsheathed, and Qin Jie slashed with his sword, but the devouring abyss only left a trail of sparks on the surface of the alien monster.
It didn't kill it?
The sharpness of the devouring abyss was beyond doubt, yet at this moment, it couldn't even cut open a wound. It seemed there was something strange about these aliens.
After observing, Qin Jie finally noticed that the scales on these aliens seemed somewhat off.
Several patches of scales on these aliens were distinctly the wrong color, and unusually vibrant.
This was--- Qin Jie seemed to have an epiphany. When he faced the rushing aliens again, this time he directly slashed at the vibrant scales on their bodies.
This time, Qin Jie's sword moved exceptionally smoothly. The next moment, the charging alien's momentum didn't decrease, but its body split in two.
This was to make him find the vital points.
Qin Jie understood.
The vital points of these aliens varied: some were the heart, some the waist, some the neck, and some even the ankles.
And Qin Jie, who knew how to find vital points, struck with extreme precision. A moment later, the ground was covered with alien corpses.
All of them were completely slain by Qin Jie.
"Slaughter Specialization has been raised to LV10."
After the last sword strike, the surrounding illusion slowly faded, and Qin Jie's Slaughter Specialization had also been raised to LV10.
Slaughter Specialization LV10: Damage dealt to fatal parts is additionally increased by 42%, and it becomes easier to discover the opponent's fatal parts.
"Hint: Since Slaughter Specialization has reached Lv.10, Hunter, please choose a Lv.10 branch ability."
1. Weakness Insight: Easier to discover the opponent's fatal parts.
2. Unending Slaughter: After killing an enemy, damage dealt to enemies of the same race is additionally +6% (once only).
3. Unceasing Bleeding: After hitting an enemy's vital point, an additional bleeding effect will be applied.
Facing these three options, Qin Jie pondered for a moment.
The illusion the Paradise just made him experience seemed to allude to enemies with vital points in different places.
Qin Jie now knew very well how to take a person's life, but if the enemy was non-human, it might be difficult to discover their weakness immediately.
Therefore, Qin Jie decided to choose option 1, Weakness Insight.
After spending 10,000 to upgrade Slaughter Specialization, Qin Jie still had 13,000 paradise coins left.
The End War Soul skill required 10 successful Deathmatch attempts to unlock, which meant at least the next derivative world.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Jie looked at Parry LV5.
This passive skill had always been practical. At this time, upgrading Parry by one Rank required 2,000 paradise coins, but with the effect of Sword Heart, it was discounted by 10%, so it only needed 1,800 paradise coins.
Then he would upgrade it by five more Ranks.
"Parry (Passive Skill) has been raised to Lv.6."
"Parry (Passive Skill) has been raised to Lv.7."
"Parry (Passive Skill) has been raised to LV8."
"Parry (Passive Skill) has been raised to LV9."
"Parry (Passive Skill) has been raised to Lv.10!"
"Parry (Passive Skill) has been raised to Max Rank. Reaching Max Rank grants an additional reward. Please choose one from the following rewards."
1. After a perfect Parry, the enemy's Strength will be temporarily reduced by 10%.
2. Parry will additionally consume the durability of the enemy's weapon.
3. After a Parry, your own stamina consumption will be greatly reduced.
All three options were very good, but overall, option 3 was the most useful for Qin Jie.
This way, when he fought enemies later, whether one-on-one or against multiple opponents, Qin Jie could always preserve ample stamina for himself.
Parry LV10
Effect: When a blade-type weapon Parries an enemy attack, the resulting Strength judgment is +12 (+4). If the Parry timing is appropriate, a perfect Parry will be triggered, increasing Strength judgment by +15 (+5) and performing a Strength check. If the judgment passes, the enemy's stance will be broken.
