Chapter 1361

A countdown appeared above the arena, and the noisy spectator stands gradually quieted down.

With his long sword unsheathed, Su Xiao observed his opponent several dozen meters away. This was a sturdy man with dark skin all over, about 1.9 meters tall. The opponent was not wearing heavy armor, and his hands were covered in metal claws, with the blades being at least 30 centimeters long.

According to Su Xiao's judgment, this was nine times out of ten an agility-type contractor. The opponent did not hide the quality of his weapon; a golden light flickered on the claw blades, and one could tell at a glance that this weapon was meticulously crafted.

【Arena, begin!】

At the same time the prompt appeared, Su Xiao crouched low. Just as he was about to dash forward, a loud explosion came from head-on.

With a bang, the sturdy man named Oliver pounced head-on, his speed extremely fast.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Oliver had dashed in front of Su Xiao. It had to be said that this contractor who specialized in "bully-the-weak matches" had some strength.

The so-called bully-the-weak match is actually a kind of "commercial" behavior. Some contractors know that there is no hope of rushing into the top five, so their intention to rush to the high positions of the arena is not strong. Therefore, they throw matches in same-level competitions, causing their arena ranking to drop significantly.

Just like Oliver, he could probably reach around 10,000th place in the Fourth Tier arena, but he threw matches to drop to around 15,000th.

Through a period of operation, Oliver accumulated some spectators with unique interests. Every time before he started a competition, he would contact these people through special channels.

Watching a Fourth Tier contractor being brutally abused is a very refreshing thing for most employees, so they don't mind paying a few more Paradise Coins to watch.

Oliver was also smart enough; he would take a portion of his earnings and share it with those Fourth Tier competitors he bullied, thereby avoiding making enemies with both sides.

If Su Xiao fought in the arena to accumulate combat experience and rush his arena ranking while fighting various enemies, then Oliver was entirely for the immediate profit.

Oliver, who could play "bully-the-weak matches," certainly had some strength. Moreover, he didn't want to offend people, so he was very serious when fighting, thereby respecting his opponents.

The sound of wind breaking came head-on. Su Xiao sensed the mana in his body; it had recovered about 1500 points.

The bright claw light struck head-on. Oliver, reaching out with one hand and intending to claw open Su Xiao's throat, frowned. He didn't know why, but since the competition began, he had always had a feeling of heart palpitations.

The sharp metal claws approached Su Xiao's throat. Su Xiao leaned back, intending to dodge the metal claws. Sensing this scene, Oliver's expression became somewhat interesting; this was a situation he hadn't expected. The thought that emerged in his heart was: 'A 15,000th-ranked competitor... is he this weak?'

Just as this thought appeared in Oliver's mind, the hand he swung forward grabbed nothing. At the same time, a hair-raising crisis emerged from behind him. He subconsciously blocked his neck with the metal claw on his left hand.

His neck, left hand, and spine all felt a cold touch, followed by numbness.

With a clink, Oliver heard the crisp sound of metal hitting the ground. Part of his left hand lost sensation, and a blood-red prompt appeared.

【Warning! Your weapon (left) is severely damaged, durability has dropped below 15 points.】

【Warning! Vital parts have been attacked, you have received...】

【Warning! Unknown energy has invaded your body, 98% of your body tissue will be paralyzed for 1.9 seconds.】

【Prompt: Your HP has dropped to 1%, you have been returned to the lounge.】

Oliver subconsciously staggered forward a few steps. He raised his left hand; the metal claw on his left hand had been cut off by one-third.

"4 slashes..."

Oliver's face felt a twinge of pain. He wasn't surprised that Su Xiao had cut him in four slashes. The moment Su Xiao suddenly disappeared, Oliver had already sensed something was wrong. He was feeling pained for the damaged weapon in his hand; this match was a blood loss.

"Stepped on a mine, but the audience should be satisfied. From a certain perspective, this can also be considered bullying the weak."

Oliver smiled and chose to teleport out of the lounge to repair his weapon.

On the arena, a large amount of light particles floated in front of Su Xiao; these were the light particles Oliver had turned into after his defeat.

"Roar~"

"This match was interesting."

The spectator stands were very lively. They were slightly surprised at first, but then accepted the fact that Su Xiao had cut Oliver in four slashes. There were no expressions of shock or being dumbfounded.

These employees or contractors who came to watch the Fourth Tier arena had been hanging around Reincarnation Paradise for a long time. They knew that there were hidden talents in the Fourth Tier arena, and any unexpected situation could occur here.

Su Xiao returned to the lounge, and the arena's personal data refreshed.

【Competitor: Su Xiao.】

【Status: Good.】

【Ranking: 14,790th (Fourth Tier).】

【Winning streak: 1 match.】

【Top five rewards: Not obtained.】

Because the winning streak was short, the ranking didn't improve much. After resting for a while, Su Xiao continued to match opponents.

Inside a cluster of abandoned buildings.

Drip, drip, drip...

A rapid electronic sound came to Su Xiao's ear. He had been fighting in the Fourth Tier arena for more than thirty hours, during which he had slept once and eaten a few meals.

After fighting for more than thirty hours, his ranking had improved from 14,790th to 9,573rd, with a 98-match winning streak.

Relying on the legendary-grade +13 Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan and Blade Technique Master lv. 48, Su Xiao had fought his way up. Among them, the weapons and armor of more than twenty contractors were nearly scrapped under the blade of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan.

Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan was too sharp; gold-quality equipment simply couldn't block its slashes. Even uncrafted legendary-grade equipment wouldn't have a good outcome if it went head-to-head with Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. The +13 reinforcement level was not just for show.

After reaching the top 10,000 in the Fourth Tier arena, the opponents Su Xiao encountered began to be difficult, with all kinds of disgusting abilities emerging one after another.

Toxins that could grow after wounding the enemy, permeation abilities, extremely weird Nen ability specialization types. Su Xiao even encountered an academic-style mage, although the opponent hadn't reached the level of a "Magic God" yet.

That academic-style mage was simply a turret. The opponent only specialized in three abilities: a large fireball about three meters in diameter, earth spikes that could extend to over 10 meters, and lightning strikes from the sky.

Don't think that large fireballs are low-end. As long as that academic-style mage made a move, he would release more than 10 large fireballs, and the range of the earth spikes was over 200 meters. The lightning strikes were a bit better, falling about 3 to 5 times each, but this thing could track enemies and could make turns of over 60 degrees while falling.

After Su Xiao used Dragon Shadow Flash to break through to close range, that academic-style mage surrendered after taking only one slash. After that fellow returned to the lounge, he drank several cups of hot tea before recovering.

Half an hour later, his hands were still trembling uncontrollably. The message he left for Su Xiao was very interesting: 'What kind of ghost profession are you? Simply a natural enemy.'

And Su Xiao's current opponent was a girl aged sixteen or seventeen. Don't think that a girl of this age is cute. This Fourth Tier girl was full of gunpowder smell. As long as it was something on her body, it could explode—clothing, severed limbs, and even her hair were miniature bombs.

And under Su Xiao's feet, he was stepping on three bombs. These were biological bombs, having some chameleon-like properties, capable of completely shielding perception.

With Su Xiao's intuition ability, he certainly wouldn't step directly onto this thing. More than ten seconds ago, the girl kicked from more than ten meters away from Su Xiao. This kick certainly couldn't hit Su Xiao, but she kicked her shoe out, and a large explosion with a range of 300 meters appeared. Su Xiao was blown onto these few biological bombs.

Mana exhausted, Su Xiao put Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan into his storage space.

Boom!

The explosion enveloped Su Xiao, and his body turned into a large amount of light particles.

Inside a ruin, the girl, with only one leg left, crawled out of the ruins.

"It hurts to death..."

The girl had a bitter face. Although she won, she was also cut half to death. What she didn't know was that before fighting her, Su Xiao only had 1460 mana points left.
