Chapter 1253: The Unscrupulous Life Mentor

Su Xiao stood before the pitch-black gate hole, the darkness seemingly capable of swallowing all living things.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao released an Alchemical Raven from his storage space and activated it, controlling the Alchemical Raven to fly into the gate hole. Almost instantly, Su Xiao's mental link with the Alchemical Raven was severed, and the Alchemical Raven was swallowed by the darkness.

Su Xiao's brows were tightly locked. He had reached here after thousands of hardships, and now he was just shown some murals? That was it?

He removed the metal bracer on his left arm and took a deep breath.

"I'll give you my left hand."

As Su Xiao reached his left hand into the darkness, Zhan Long Shan was already pressed against his armpit, ready to sever his left arm at any moment.

A suction force came from his left arm. Su Xiao just wanted to sever his left arm, but he found something was wrong; his left arm didn't feel anything unusual. The touch was like sticking his arm into a mud puddle.

The suction force grew stronger and stronger, and large cracks appeared on the ground beneath Su Xiao's feet. After confirming his left arm had no abnormalities, he no longer resisted the suction force, and his whole person was sucked into the darkness.

Su Xiao entered a pitch-black space where hearing, vision, and smell all lost their meaning. Besides being able to perceive his own existence, he could perceive nothing else.

In the darkness, a faint light slowly brightened. This faint light was in a long strip shape. As the light became more obvious, Su Xiao saw clearly that it was a blade.

The light expanded. I don't know how long it had passed, but a figure holding a long blade appeared before Su Xiao. This figure walked slowly toward Su Xiao and finally merged with Su Xiao's body.

The moment he merged with the light, Su Xiao's brain buzzed. When his vision recovered, he was already in a desolate land. This land was red, and a blood moon hung in the sky.

Su Xiao wanted to observe the situation around him, but he couldn't control his vision to turn. This feeling was like he had entered someone else's consciousness.

He didn't know who the owner of this body was. The owner of the body looked down at his feet, and large swathes of alien beast corpses came into view.

*Boom! *

Magma sprayed from the cracks in the earth, and beast roars came from afar. The owner of the body looked up into the distance and held the long blade in his hand horizontally in front of him.

Su Xiao was completely confused. He didn't know what he was supposed to see. Fighting those alien beasts seemed to have no meaning.

But soon, Su Xiao knew why he appeared here. When the owner of this body swung the long blade in his hand, Su Xiao immediately noticed that this person's blade technique level was far above his own.

Time seemed to be accelerated. Su Xiao only felt a few seconds had passed, but in reality, the body his consciousness was in had already been killing enemies for a long time. Su Xiao didn't care about those unusually fierce alien beasts, but was observing with full concentration how the owner of this body used the blade.

Su Xiao now possessed not only vision; as long as the owner of this body swung the blade, it was as if Su Xiao was also swinging the blade.

I don't know how long it had passed, but the alien beasts on the blood-colored land were all killed. However, Su Xiao was still wanting more. His vision gradually turned black, and his consciousness detached from that body.

The next moment, Su Xiao leaned into another person's body again. Just as his vision recovered, a roaring black dragon appeared in Su Xiao's field of vision. This black dragon's body was extremely huge, like a small hill, its back covered in bone spurs.

Having had the experience from last time, this time Su Xiao observed more carefully. He didn't care how strong the black dragon was, but focused his perception on how this body used the blade.

Alien beasts, black dragons, glacier giants, parasitic star crabs, weird life forms—Su Xiao witnessed battle after battle. These battles all had one thing in common: the bodies he was attached to were all good at using long blades.

Experiencing the battles of blade technique powerhouses personally was an opportunity. As time passed, Su Xiao's vision became more blurred, and his consciousness gradually became hazy.

When his eyes completely fell into darkness, he perceived his own body again.

His eyes opened, and Su Xiao subconsciously lifted his arms. Although watching it was very satisfying, that feeling of being unable to control his body was not pleasant.

Su Xiao took out the timer he carried with him. Only 10 minutes had passed, but he had watched battles lasting more than ten days.

The long blade in his hand slashed forward, and a silver thread swept past. Su Xiao clearly felt that his understanding of blade technique had improved a lot.

【Blade Technique Master has been upgraded to Lv. 41.】

【Blade Technique Master has been upgraded to Lv. 42.】

【Blade Technique Master has been upgraded to Lv. 45.】

Blade technique upgraded 5 levels in a row. This was the benefit of obtaining the Stone of Extinction and passing a certain assessment. To obtain the Stone of Extinction, Su Xiao had gone deep into the Xiya Temple.

Not only that, to reach here, Su Xiao had been nearly surrounded and killed by the Necromancer army many times. Calling it a narrow escape was no exaggeration.

Among all abilities, the sensory experience when blade technique upgraded was the strongest, at least for Su Xiao. Therefore, he was not surprised that blade technique upgraded 5 levels in a row.

Although blade technique upgraded 5 levels, this was improved through his understanding of other blade technique powerhouses. It was true that it improved quickly, but it required time to settle.

If Su Xiao used Soul Crystals + Paradise Coins to upgrade, it would require at least 50 Soul Crystals (Large) + 1.25 million Paradise Coins. The benefits were obvious, but the drawbacks were also not small. Su Xiao could not continue to upgrade Blade Technique Master in the near future, at least not until he had settled his current blade technique.

【Blade Technique Master: Lv. 45 (Passive Skill)】

Skill Effect: Increases blade-type weapon attack power by 224% (increased by 30%), blade technique skills significantly improved.

Lv. 10 additional ability...

Because it was a small-level upgrade, no new additional ability appeared, but increasing blade-type weapon attack power by 30% was equivalent to increasing Su Xiao's melee lethality by 30%. This was definitely not a small improvement.

Su Xiao's current location was still in front of the first stone gate. That shattered stone gate had already returned to its original state. He tried to open the stone gate again with the Stone of Extinction, but there was no reaction.

The Gate of Extinction allowed Su Xiao to upgrade his Blade Technique Master by 5 levels, which made him full of expectations for the next two stone gates.

Arriving in front of the second stone gate, this stone gate should be the Gate of Law, so Su Xiao took out the corresponding Stone of Law.

The Stone of Law floated toward the stone gate and was embedded into the groove in the center of the stone gate. The stone gate shattered in response.

Seeing the scene behind the stone gate, the corner of Su Xiao's mouth twitched. Behind the stone gate... it was actually a wall!!

This made Su Xiao somewhat bewildered. Could it be that he was supposed to smash this stone wall? After opening the gate, there was a wall behind it. What kind of "WTF" situation was this?

Unscrupulous laughter came from behind, very demonic. It was Marvin Waltz.

"What does this mean?"

Su Xiao always felt that Marvin Waltz knew something, but this pit-guy just wouldn't say it. The meaning was clearly: "Figure it out yourself."

"It means you are simply too unsuitable for what's behind the Gate of Law. Even the most basic test didn't appear."

Marvin Waltz's laughter was still as unscrupulous as ever.

"Unsuitable..."

Su Xiao's mood was imaginable, but giving up without trying made him very unwilling, so he slashed at the stone wall with his blade.

*Zzzzt. * Blue-white electric arcs surged. Su Xiao retreated a few steps, his body couldn't help but twitch, and his whole person was shocked until he felt "refreshed," his hair almost standing up.

Even more unscrupulous loud laughter came. Su Xiao walked toward the third stone gate with a gloomy face. ===== CHAPTER 1254 =====
