Chapter 2003: Unsolvable Ability

In a dense forest, Su Xiao sat on a broken tree. Trees in an area of several hundred meters around were all cut down, and flames were burning fiercely.

"Hoo, hoo..."

A boy with short wine-red hair lay on the ground panting. He was covered in slash marks, and a piece of his skull had been sliced off.

"Hey, you didn't use your full strength, did you?"

The wine-red-haired boy spoke. Su Xiao just sat on the tree trunk without speaking.

"Technique is inferior to others, I'm convinced."

The boy was teleported away. Su Xiao exhaled a breath of scorching turbid air. This opponent was very difficult to deal with; after all, he was the 10th place in the Tier 5 Paradise Arena. He fought with the opponent for 19 minutes before deciding the winner.

【Hint: Hunter has promoted to 10th place.】

【Obtain 10th place reward?】

【Hint: This reward can be accumulated. Each time the Hunter improves their ranking, this reward will be accumulated and improved based on the current ranking.】

Su Xiao thought for a moment and decided to accumulate it. He still had spare energy, and the accumulated rewards would be much more generous than receiving them one by one.

Waiting for matching again, this time, just a few minutes after matching, Su Xiao matched with the 9th place.

Raindrops fell from the sky. Su Xiao stood in the rain, opposite an enemy whose gender was indistinguishable, wrapped in a ball of black mist.

Almost simultaneously, Su Xiao and his opponent raised their steps to charge. The raindrops were scattered by Su Xiao, and the blade light pierced through the darkness...

Half an hour later, Su Xiao was riding on the lower abdomen of a woman in black. The posture of the two was somewhat ambiguous, but Su Xiao's long blade was stabbing at the woman's brow, blocked by a layer of golden light.

"I didn't judge wrong. The ones in front are not your opponents, but Gu Sheng-Yi is basically invincible within Tier 5. No, it should be invincible in the arena. Here, she is indeed the 'Sea God', the most shameless 'Sea God'."

The woman in black disappeared, and Su Xiao was also teleported back to the lounge. He chose to continue matching enemies.

Fifteen hours later, inside a palace.

*Thud, thud, thud... *

Magnetic explosions appeared constantly. A gloomy man covered in blood sat leaning against a stone pillar. There was a slash mark across his face, half an arm was cut off, and there was a penetrating wound on his lower abdomen.

When the magnetic explosion stopped, a figure walked out of the smoke and dust. He was wrapped in a shattered crystal layer, blood dripping along the crystal layer. It was Su Xiao.

Su Xiao felt that everything before his eyes was shaking. His opponent this time was the 2nd place in the Tier 5 Paradise Arena, name unknown, ability extremely comprehensive, obviously a lone wolf, from Death Paradise.

If Su Xiao guessed correctly, the other party was a Punisher Knight from Death Paradise, similar to the Hunter of Reincarnation Paradise.

"Hey, Hunter of Reincarnation Paradise."

The gloomy man spoke. Su Xiao could guess that the other party was a Punisher Knight, and it was normal for the other party to guess that Su Xiao was a Hunter.

"I've challenged Gu Sheng-Yi many times, there's absolutely no way. That kind of ability is simply designed for arena combat. That guy has a ranking advantage and can choose the terrain, which is understandable. If it were me, I would do the same. So good luck, heh."

After the gloomy man let out a malicious cold laugh, he chose to forfeit, throwing away 2nd place, but the other party's expression... seemed to be a relief?

【Hunter has promoted to 2nd place.】

【Hint: You have received a new email.】

After being teleported back to the lounge, Su Xiao picked up a water cup and drank a few cups of water. Just now, he almost lost the battle due to dehydration. The gloomy man was quite tough. Su Xiao didn't use his ultimate moves; Blood Beast, Dead Silence Descent, Demon Blade, etc., were all in the cooldown stage, and the other party was the same.

Only one last opponent remained, and Su Xiao would reach the top of the arena. But from the mouths of others in the top ten, Su Xiao learned a consistent conclusion.

Gu Sheng-Yi was almost invincible; some kind of ability of the other party was very suitable for arena combat.

Su Xiao naturally wouldn't give up because of this information. He called Bubu Wang to the arena to improve Mana and Stamina recovery speed. Now he needed to recover his stamina for 4-5 hours to fight with full strength.

With nothing to do, Su Xiao opened the email he had just received.

"Don't say I'm shameless, Kuku Lin Bai Ye. If I'm not mistaken, we are the same kind of people, always hunting Gu Sheng-Yi."

Upon seeing this email, Su Xiao guessed that Gu Sheng-Yi and Gu Sheng-Yi were the same person. The name of the arena could be chosen freely once, and most Qiyuezhe preferred to use their own codenames.

Gu Sheng-Yi's email revealed a secret code that only Hunters could understand: hunting. The other party was probably also a Hunter from Reincarnation Paradise.

This made Su Xiao more interested in the upcoming battle. It was the first time he had encountered other Hunters, or rather, he might have encountered them during previous arena matches but didn't recognize them.

Four hours later, Su Xiao recovered his state and chose to match an opponent. In less than 1 minute, the match was successful. Gu Sheng-Yi should have been waiting.

A teleportation sensation appeared. When Su Xiao's vision recovered, he was standing in a circular field surrounded by towering metal walls. The diameter of the entire field was 200 meters.

Su Xiao felt like he was inside a metal chimney, and the chimney mouth was sealed. However, this terrain was within the normal scope of arena fields.

A woman in casual clothes, with a well-proportioned figure and a ponytail, stood dozens of meters away. She was holding a large paper cup with a lid, a straw in her mouth.

"Another one looking for autism, why bother? If it were a life-and-death battle, you would definitely be able to slash me, but this is an arena. The gloomy old brother in second place hasn't challenged me for a while. I guess he's speechless. When he challenged me for the last time, he cursed."

Gu Sheng-Yi spoke, her face smiling somewhat unscrupulously.

"..."

Su Xiao drew his long blade. As long as the competition started, he would close the distance at the first opportunity.

"Don't ask me why my name in the arena is Gu Sheng-Yi. I'm not used to high-tech things. When using Pinyin input, I made a mistake."

Gu Sheng-Yi kept staring at the sky while speaking, clearly waiting for the moment the competition started to activate some kind of ability.

【Competition, begin!】

Su Xiao disappeared from the spot. In at most 0.3 seconds, he rushed in front of Gu Sheng-Yi.

*Boom! *

Seawater surged toward him. Su Xiao slashed forward with the long blade in his hand, cutting through the water flow and slashing across Gu Sheng-Yi's neck, slashing through without any resistance.

The water flow washed past, and Su Xiao felt a cold touch on his face. Large splashes of water flew around him.

*Splash*, Gu Sheng-Yi turned into seawater. She had just swapped positions with the seawater.

In just an instant, the seawater filled the entire field. Gu Sheng-Yi appeared in the seawater above, with a half-centimeter-deep bloodstain on her neck.

Su Xiao held his breath, standing in the seawater. Just as he was about to rush toward the enemy again, Gu Sheng-Yi gradually merged into the seawater.

【Warning: Hunter is located within the Azure Sea. You are suffering from the following debuff state (No judgment abnormal state, level Lv. 67).】

【Hint: Your stamina consumption speed is increased by 34%, suffering 17 points of damage per second (29% already exempted).】

【Hint: This state resets every 2 minutes.】

【If the Hunter leaves the Azure Sea, this debuff state will be lifted immediately.】

In Su Xiao's perception, Gu Sheng-Yi had disappeared. The other party's aura would occasionally appear, and it wasn't just one stream. Obviously, she had split up and merged into this Azure Sea.

Now Su Xiao finally knew why no one could defeat Gu Sheng-Yi. This Azure Sea was likely just a small part. Even if this place were frozen, new seawater would be replenished.

If it were other terrain, Gu Sheng-Yi's ability wouldn't be considered strong, but this place was completely sealed, and it was an unbreakable sealed environment.

"You are the first one who could hurt me in the arena. I, Uchiha Gu Sheng-Yi, am willing to call you the strongest!"

After Gu Sheng-Yi finished this sentence, she didn't say a word, pushing shamelessness to the extreme.

*Gurgle... *

Bubbles drifted. In the seawater, Su Xiao rubbed his forehead lightly. Gu Sheng-Yi's ability was indeed unsolvable in the arena, especially in the case of a high ranking. As for Gu Sheng-Yi's self-proclaimed shamelessness, Su Xiao didn't have that feeling. ===== CHAPTER 2004 =====
