Chapter 1517

Inside an abandoned hospital, dirty syringes could be seen everywhere. A wooden sign hung from the chandelier in the hallway, with "17 minutes 56 seconds" written on it...

Su Xiao's location was not in any derived world, but a time-limited scene simulated by the arena. This time, the opponent was a bit strange. The competition had already started for 13 minutes, and Su Xiao hadn't found where the other party was.

With a bang, Su Xiao kicked open a wooden door. Shattered wooden boards flew, and he finally found his opponent for this competition.

"Kept you waiting."

A man in sunglasses in the ward spoke. The ground under his feet was covered with twisted patterns.

"Soundless."

The man in sunglasses snapped his fingers, and the world around Su Xiao fell into dead silence. He lunged forward to the front of the man in sunglasses, and the long sword slashed down.

"Meteor Light."

The man in sunglasses snapped his fingers again, and Su Xiao's vision immediately turned pitch black. Before his vision was sealed, Su Xiao judged from the feel of the slash that this strike had successfully hit the enemy and broken several ribs in the opponent's torso.

The man in sunglasses groaned and retreated several steps. The eyes under his sunglasses were dim and lusterless. This was actually a blind man. One had to know, blind people among Qiyuezhe were extremely rare. Only one situation would lead to permanent blindness: professional characteristics.

A large amount of blood sprayed, and the man in sunglasses retreated several steps, but Su Xiao stood still. His hearing and vision were sealed, or rather, it wasn't that the opponent affected his senses, but that he had changed the surrounding environment.

Su Xiao had been fighting in the arena for more than six hours, from 9570th place to 128th. The high number of winning streaks caused him to match opponents within the top 100.

Before his eyes was pitch black, and the surroundings were dead silent. Vision and hearing were both sealed, and perception was also greatly reduced.

Su Xiao held his long sword horizontally in front of him, eyes closed. Even if vision and hearing were sealed, he could still fight.

The man in sunglasses in the ward picked up a medical record and threw the medical record sheet at Su Xiao.

Zing.

The blade slashed across, and the medical record sheet was shredded into large pieces of paper as soon as it approached within five meters of Su Xiao.

Bang, bang, bang...

Several gunshots came in succession, sparks flying. All 15 bullets were slashed away by Su Xiao, and dozens of hexagonal counter-shields floated around him.

"At least master-level sword technique. Bad luck."

The man in sunglasses gave a slightly helpless bitter smile. He was a mental control type. Of course, he understood the anti-control ability of a Swordmaster. His several core abilities had no effect on Su Xiao, and maintaining the surrounding barrier would consume a large amount of mana.

"Let's just say I'm unlucky."

The man in sunglasses snapped his fingers, and the surrounding darkness and sound blockade retreated. He chose to forfeit.

Su Xiao returned to the lounge and checked the competition data.

【Competitor: Su Xiao.】

【Status: Fatigued.】

【Ranking: 116th (Fourth Tier).】

【Winning Streak: 77 matches.】

【Top Five Reward: Not obtained.】

About to break into the top 100 of the arena, Su Xiao didn't continue to match opponents. Long-term high-intensity combat inevitably made him mentally fatigued, and he still had other things to deal with.

Leaving the arena, Su Xiao headed straight to the exclusive room. When he returned, he found that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Beni had already gone off to wander somewhere. The three of them together could play landlord-fighting without any problem, and with Su Xiao, they could play mahjong.

But Su Xiao never gambled with Amu, not to protect Amu's "pure" heart, but because he didn't want to lose Paradise Coins for no reason.

Once, when Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Amu had nothing to do in a derived world, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang suggested playing landlord-fighting and spent two days teaching Amu the rules.

In those two days, the one man, one dog, and one cow only played three games. The reason was simple: in those three games, the cards in Su Xiao's and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's hands combined didn't exceed a J. What was even more magical was that both of them had scattered cards, the kind that were invincible when combined.

When Amu played the four Qs and four Ks one by one, Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang were surprised to find that they couldn't beat them, and it was like this for several games in a row. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang fell into autism on the spot, and his career as a gambling god ended there.

Su Xiao still had 507,800 Paradise Coins left. He would use these to replenish supplies and manufacture a new model of Apollo.

Su Xiao had studied conventional alchemy bombs for a long time in the Death God world. There was no progress in conventional alchemy bombs, but there was a significant breakthrough in Apollo.

Entering the alchemy laboratory, Su Xiao first manufactured 【Ancient Potion】. The previously manufactured Ancient Potion had been exhausted, mostly used by Amu. It had had more than one conflict with Qiyuezhe in the current world, and Su Xiao had also used some when fighting Death Sign.

This time, Su Xiao planned to manufacture at least ten bottles because he was about to enter a world he knew nothing about. According to Su Xiao's guess, it was either a native world or a world located in the Void.

When manufacturing 【Ancient Potion】, Su Xiao called Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang back. He needed Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's Ice Snow Goddess Aura to restore mana.

Time passed in a flash. After Su Xiao manufactured ten bottles of 【Ancient Potion】, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran out to wander again.

In front of the test bench, Su Xiao put a small piece of Fire Gold into a test tube and observed the reaction. After waiting for a full hour, he poured the solution in the test tube into the wastewater pool. 8000 Paradise Coins were thus written off.

The power of Apollo when it exploded was indeed fierce, but Su Xiao also had to pay resources and time of equal value.

Su Xiao was gradually improving Apollo, or rather, he was trying to find a way to shorten Apollo's detonation time. 30 seconds was really too long. Previously, he detonated Apollo in the wooden building of the First Division headquarters, but only killed a few Death Gods, although he detonated Apollo that time to buy time for the Reishi Pulse.

In 30 seconds, given the strength of Su Xiao's current enemies, they could completely escape Apollo's explosion range, unless the environment was special.

Su Xiao took out a Soul Crystal (Medium) and exchanged 200,000 Paradise Coins for Fire Gold and Sun Remains. He began to try to manufacture a new model of Apollo, or an upgraded version of Apollo.

Once energy was invested in something, time would pass quickly. A dozen hours later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Beni returned to the exclusive room in a group. When Xiang Bubu heard the sound in the laboratory, it pushed open the laboratory door softly to avoid disturbing Su Xiao from manufacturing alchemy items.

A fireball five meters in diameter caught Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's eyes. The fur on its back stood up, and it quickly closed the door.

The fireball floated in front of Su Xiao. He clasped his hands, and the fireball was gradually compressed by his mental power, finally turning into a spherical object the size of an apple.

Su Xiao held the upgraded Apollo in his hand. From the outside, Apollo hadn't changed much, but this thing cost him 300,000 Paradise Coins. Of course, trial production was different from normal production. The true cost of this Apollo was 100,000 Paradise Coins + Soul Crystal (Medium) x1 + 1000 mana points.
