Chapter 1100

18 hours later, Su Xiao sat leaning on the sofa in the lounge, his expression looking slightly weary.

【Competitor: Su Xiao.】

【Status: Fatigued.】

【Ranking: 1750th (Third Tier).】

【Winning Streak: 106 matches.】

【Top Ten Reward: Not obtained.】

Su Xiao had fought from over eight thousandth place to over one thousandth, with a winning streak reaching an astonishing 106 matches.

Through several dozen battles, Su Xiao became more familiar with his current abilities. Blade radiance was no longer just a means to distract the enemy, but had become his most important combat method during mid-range fighting.

Su Xiao used the Dragon Flash ability three times; after each use, the enemy was killed within 0.5 seconds.

The effect of this move in actual combat was stronger than Su Xiao had anticipated. He had already conceived many ways to use it in his mind, but they needed to be filtered. In Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's words, his head was full of flashy maneuvers, but in reality, few were actually useful.

Developing abilities is actually like this. To date, Su Xiao had developed at least a hundred types of blade-related moves, researched several dozen types of taijutsu, and had over a hundred ways to use Qing Gang Ying energy.

Among such a vast number of abilities, only a few had practical combat value; the others were abandoned by Su Xiao.

Su Xiao couldn't figure out one thing: how do those geniuses focus on drilling into one ability, and still ensure that the ability is suitable for combat?

For him, out of dozens of self-developed abilities, not even one might be practical. There are too many factors to consider in combat; some seemingly beautiful abilities are exceptionally trashy in actual combat, while some abilities that aren't flashy have strong practical uses, such as Su Xiao's side kick.

Su Xiao dragged his weary body out of Reincarnation Paradise, fell into bed and slept. Once he woke up, he would go to the arena to fight, exploring the use of new abilities in actual combat.

If he was hungry, Xia would deliver food to the arena. That's right, Xia delivered the food.

At first, Xia refused, but after Su Xiao offered to add 30 Paradise Coins per meal, Xia replied directly to Su Xiao: "What does the master want to eat? What time should I deliver it? Give me permission for the arena lounge."

Just like that, Su Xiao began a frantic sprint for the arena rankings. By the end, he was sleeping directly in the lounge; he would fight when he woke up and continue sleeping when he was tired.

With such high-intensity combat, Su Xiao only felt physical fatigue; as for mental fatigue, there was none at all. After all, the arena was not a life-or-death battle, so it didn't consume much mental energy.

In a forest, Su Xiao squatted on the ground, searching for traces around him.

"No need to hide, behind the tree three hundred meters away."

Su Xiao stood up; he was currently conducting an arena match without an audience.

"Sigh, how could I be matched with a guy like you around 100th place? Close-quarters combat is indeed terrifying in the mid-to-late stages."

A middle-aged man walked out from behind a tree. Both his arms were broken, and his chest, cheeks, and thighs were covered in slash marks; these were all injuries caused by blade radiance.

"That ability of yours must be space penetration. No need to deny it; even after I locked the space, you were still able to displace instantly."

The middle-aged man was a space-type contractor. It was precisely because of this that he could fight Su Xiao to this extent; this guy's escape ability was too strong.

"You win."

The space-type middle-aged man chose to forfeit. What he didn't know was that Su Xiao's mana was down to only 200 points. He had fought too many arena matches; sometimes, to save mana, he wouldn't even activate the Qing Gang Ying ability.

Su Xiao returned to the lounge to check his arena ranking.

【Competitor: Su Xiao.】

【Status: Fatigued.】

【Ranking: 108th (Third Tier).】

【Winning Streak: 181 matches.】

【Top Ten Reward: Not obtained.】

Su Xiao had 1 hour left before returning to the real world. Originally, he wanted to break into the top 50, but now it seemed that was somewhat impossible.

Competitors around 100th place were stronger than Su Xiao had anticipated; these people all had their own trump cards.

Su Xiao felt that with his current strength, he could at most reach around 100th place. As for contractors further ahead, Su Xiao likely wasn't their match.

This was a very normal situation. After he promoted to the third tier, he had only experienced one derived world. Being able to have his current combat power was entirely the result of accumulation.

Blade Master, Qing Gang Ying, Zhan Long Shan, and four attributes at 82 points—these abilities were all accumulated by Su Xiao bit by bit.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao opened his personal information.

Some Qiyuezhe No. 13013. (To protect the Hunter, this is a fake number; no means can lock onto the Hunter.)

Name: Su Xiao (Hunter)

Level: Lv. 24. (Third Tier). Every 10 levels is one tier; leveling up provides no attribute bonuses. This is the Hunter's authority within Reincarnation Paradise, corresponding to world difficulty, mission difficulty, etc.)

Health: 100%.

Mana: 3826 points

Strength: 82

Agility: 82

Stamina: 82

Intelligence: 82

Charisma: 8

Luck: 2

Qing Gang Ying (Active): Lv. 39

Blade Master (Passive): Lv. 40

Demon Seal (Passive): Lv. 19

Firearms Mastery (Passive): Lv. 30

Aura Release (Active): Lv. 18

Intuition (Passive): Lv. 16

Heart Meditation (Active/Passive): Lv. 10

Six Styles: Shave (Active): Lv. 20

Magic-Immune Constitution (Passive): x

Supreme Blade (Passive): x+

Spirit Shadow Constitution (Passive): x

Devouring Core (Passive): x

Qing Ying Wang: 36% awakened.

Su Xiao had mastered many abilities, but most were passive. The only abilities that needed to be actively used during combat were Qing Gang Ying, Aura Release, and Shave; the others were abilities attached to equipment.

Mana was about to break the 4000-point mark; after experiencing the next derived world, breaking through this threshold wouldn't be far off.

With only one hour left, Su Xiao checked his remaining Paradise Coins; he had 12,680 points left. He had given the rest of the Paradise Coins to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, letting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang go to the trading market to purchase recovery items.

It is true that Su Xiao could manufacture No. 1 Potions, but manufacturing them required consuming mana. He had been fighting in the arena recently and simply didn't have the spare mana to manufacture them.

Unknowingly, Su Xiao fell asleep leaning on the sofa; his remaining 200 mana points were no longer enough to support an arena match.

Just as Su Xiao was sleeping soundly, he felt as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a heavy hammer, and his sleepiness vanished completely.

When Su Xiao came to his senses, he was already sitting on the second floor of the jewelry store in the real world, with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang beside him, holding the back of its head with its two front paws.

Su Xiao was very bewildered and also a bit stunned. He looked around, and after about a few seconds, he realized what had happened.

"*!"

Su Xiao rarely cursed, and he lay down on the floor with a thud.

"Xiang Bubu, go open the window and let some air in."

Su Xiao lay on the second-floor floor, drowsy. When he woke up again, it was already early morning.

The fatigue from the high-intensity fighting in the arena over the past three days faded. After Su Xiao washed up, he went downstairs, and the jewelry store began business.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang lay at the entrance, bathing in the early morning sun, while Su Xiao was maintaining his Tang Hong long blade. Life in the real world was just that comfortable.

The pleasant time passed in a flash, and Su Xiao's state gradually adjusted to its best.

【Prompt: A new derived world is about to open. The Hunter will return to Reincarnation Paradise. Please ensure there are no witnesses.】

【Transmitting... Transmission complete.】
