Chapter 1262

In the lounge, Su Xiao leaned on the sofa for a nap. He had already waited for 1 hour and 50 minutes. If the opponent still didn't accept the battle match in 10 minutes, he would directly advance to the tenth place in the arena.

Su Xiao had once reached the top ten of the arena in the First Tier and obtained the Arena King Mark. Because the arena was reset when advancing to the Second Tier, the Arena King Mark was taken back.

The attributes of the Arena King were quite good. Su Xiao believed that the Third Tier arena would definitely have higher rewards. If the rewards were similar to the Arena King, then the opponents he matched with would definitely not avoid fighting.

The reward for the top ten in the Third Tier could not be compared to the Arena King. Giving up the tenth position was equivalent to giving up such a reward.

Just as Su Xiao was guessing what the reward for the top ten in the Third Tier would be, a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

【The opponent has accepted the match.】

【Matching complete, opponent's rank: 10th (Third Tier).】

Su Xiao looked at the time. He had already waited for 1 hour and 57 minutes. With the time being so precise, the opponent was definitely stalling. The meaning was clearly: "Want to challenge me? Honestly wait in the rest cabin for two hours."

A sense of transmission emerged. Su Xiao picked up a glass of water on the table and drank it in one gulp, while the glass exploded into powder in his hand.

Light and shadow flashed before his eyes. When his vision recovered, Su Xiao was already on a sand field. This sand field was about 300 meters in diameter, surrounded by a large circle of stepped spectator seats.

The spectator seats were already packed with people. This time, it wasn't just the staff members who had nothing to do who came to watch the battle; there were also many contractors among them. They were here not only to appreciate the competition but also to learn combat experience.

【Betting function has been banned.】

Receiving this prompt, Su Xiao's brows furrowed. Betting was also a not-so-small income. Looking at the current situation, the top ten competitions should not be able to participate in betting. As for why this was the case, nine times out of ten it was because of the reward mechanism for the top ten.

"Finally started. Waited for almost half an hour."

"Are the top ten competitions always this slow?"

"Luo Qiyin is an idiot. Counting this time, this is the fourth time I've watched him compete. This guy often delays the matching time."

"Then why do you still watch his competition?"

"This is business, kid. You're still young; you don't think the arena is just pure competition, do you? This place supports many people."

There was a lot of discussion in the spectator seats, but most of them were onlookers. They didn't know about the matching time limit for the top ten. In the eyes of these onlookers, this competition should have started long ago; after all, they spent Paradise Coins to obtain the right to watch.

On the yellow sand field, Su Xiao pushed the metal mask on the lower half of his face. Although he would reveal his true face in Reincarnation Paradise, he wouldn't reveal his appearance in the arena. This was to hide his own combat style.

But Su Xiao recently discovered that many Third Tier contractors recognized him. The fame of the "Decapitator of the Night" seemed to be getting louder and louder, with both pros and cons.

Ignoring the increasingly lively spectator seats, Su Xiao looked at this opponent. A hundred meters away from him stood a thin, gaunt man with a gloomy expression.

The gaunt man's face was as gloomy as water, his eyelids drooping. His cheeks were thin, and a pair of triangular eyes revealed a fierce light. There was a faint smell of blood on his body. His name was Luo Qiyin, a core member of an adventure group.

"Kid over there."

Luo Qiyin's voice was cold, as if he had "old grievances" with Su Xiao. He stepped on the yellow sand under his feet, and a large area of yellow sand withered and turned gray.

Su Xiao didn't pay attention to Luo Qiyin's attitude, but he noticed a very strange thing, which was the two daggers stuck on the opponent's legs. One of these daggers was gold, while the other was purple. This bizarre combination was somewhat intriguing.

Even if this purple dagger was very suitable for the other party, the quality difference between purple and gold was a full two grades. No matter how suitable it was, Su Xiao would not choose to use such a low-grade weapon.

Accessories could be understood, but for weapons, one must first ensure they can fight head-on with the enemy.

As a top ten in the arena, Luo Qiyin using a purple dagger was a bit too shabby.

Combined with Luo Qiyin's bad attitude, Su Xiao thought of one point, which was that this guy was very likely strengthening equipment in the equipment strengthening hall before. Coincidentally, Su Xiao matched with him at this time.

One could guess with their butt that one of Luo Qiyin's weapons had shattered during strengthening, which was why he had such great resentment. Because the time was too short, he couldn't contact a merchant at all and could only get an emergency weapon in the trading market.

Luo Qiyin's triangular eyes narrowed, looking Su Xiao up and down. He sensed the blood energy on Su Xiao, but he didn't care. Who in Reincarnation Paradise wasn't covered in blood?

"I'm not targeting you today; it's just that I'm in a very bad mood."

As soon as Luo Qiyin finished speaking, the countdown for the competition began.

【Three, two, one, competition, start!】

The moment the start was announced, Su Xiao slowly drew the Dragon Flash from his waist. The long blade made a crisp sound.

While Su Xiao was drawing his blade, Luo Qiyin flipped the daggers in his hands. A smile appeared on his face. That smile was too iconic, like a perverted murderer about to commit a crime.

The battle began, and the noise in the spectator seats gradually subsided.

On the field, Luo Qiyin leaped back lightly. The light around him distorted, and his whole body disappeared. This guy was an invisibility-type.

In this 1v1 competition, the invisibility-type had a natural advantage. However, Su Xiao didn't care whether the opponent was an invisibility-type.

The yellow sand field was very quiet. Luo Qiyin didn't leave footprints on the sand. This was the terrain he chose; he wouldn't be stupid enough to choose a terrain unfavorable to himself.

Su Xiao waved his left arm, and the Boundary Breaking Line popped out. The metal threads were distributed around him and slowly fell.

The opponent was an invisibility-type, so there was no need to take the initiative to rush toward them. Just wait for the opponent to take the initiative to approach.

Su Xiao, holding the long blade, stood in place. He knew the characteristics of the invisibility-type all too well. When Luo Qiyin appeared, he would definitely be sure to hurt him, and he would launch a storm-like attack on him.

One minute, two minutes...

A full ten minutes passed, and Luo Qiyin still hadn't appeared. The spectator seats were already full of boos. Of course, those who booed were all onlookers. Those who were truly good at fighting knew that when Luo Qiyin appeared, this battle would end in a very short time.

Su Xiao, standing in place, moved his neck. Judging from his combat posture, it seemed that his whole body was full of flaws.

In the shadow world, Luo Qiyin crouched on the ground, only ten meters away from Su Xiao. He was waiting for an opportunity.

Luo Qiyin had been staring at Su Xiao like this for ten minutes. His expression was no longer as gloomy as before, becoming full of vigilance.

In Luo Qiyin's perception, Su Xiao was like a sleeping beast, seemingly full of flaws, but he didn't dare to approach within seven meters of the other party at all.

Luo Qiyin sensed it, sensed the perception circle around Su Xiao. Once he entered there, a sharp long blade would slash toward his neck.

A metal thread brushed past, almost touching Luo Qiyin's shoulder. At the same time, a pair of eyes looked at Luo Qiyin.

"Damn!"

Luo Qiyin cursed in a low voice and leaped to the side.

Boom!

The yellow sand surged, as if a bomb had been detonated in the sand. Su Xiao disappeared from where he was and rushed straight toward Luo Qiyin.

Clang, clang, clang...

Intersecting blade lights slashed toward Luo Qiyin. Before Su Xiao had even rushed up, Luo Qiyin was already shrouded in a large area of blade lights.

Luo Qiyin released the daggers in his hands. There was a chain connecting his wrist to the daggers. He used this chain to swing the daggers into a circle.

After a burst of crisp metal sounds, that golden dagger shattered more than a dozen blade lights. Luo Qiyin, like a nimble monkey, pounced through the gaps in the blade lights.

Luo Qiyin dodged the blade lights, but Su Xiao had already rushed toward him.

An assassin whose invisibility had been broken, fighting head-on against a melee fighter—the result could be imagined.

Clang.

The long blade made a crisp sound. A severed arm flew high into the air. The severed arm was still holding a dagger with a broken blade.

Luo Qiyin covered his severed arm and retreated a few steps. His strength was not weak. The main reason he was slashed and lost his arm was the gap in weapons.

"Shadow Frenzy!"

Luo Qiyin shouted in a low voice. A large area of blades formed by shadows appeared around him. He prepared to force Su Xiao back first.

The blade light shone, and shadow blades were slashed away one by one. Several shadow blades slashed onto Su Xiao, only leaving a few bloodstains.

Puchi!

Blood splattered. Luo Qiyin's chest was completely slashed open, and several important organs were damaged.

"How can a tank have such strong attack ability!"

Luo Qiyin learned something today. He judged from the few bloodstains on Su Xiao that Su Xiao was a "tank." Melee fighters couldn't have this kind of defensive power.

A hand broke through the shadow blades and pinched Luo Qiyin's throat. The metal touch from his neck let Luo Qiyin know he had lost.

A long blade pierced through Luo Qiyin's heart. At the same time, Luo Qiyin's neck was twisted, and with a snap, he disappeared in Su Xiao's hand as a large area of light particles.

【Competition over, 277-win streak!】

The spectator seats were still dead silent. The whole battle lasted for ten minutes, but the actual combat time was only 17 seconds. Before Luo Qiyin could unleash that terrifying attack ability, he had already been broken out of invisibility by Su Xiao, and then killed in a few slashes. This is a common problem for invisibility-types: low defensive ability, but high comprehensive survivability.

Su Xiao disappeared from the yellow sand field, and only then did the people in the spectator seats react.
