Chapter 2005: Origin

In the lounge, Su Xiao spent a full 21,700 Paradise Coins to lift the metalization of his body. His injuries recovered rapidly, and sensation returned to all parts of his body one after another.

Two minutes later, Su Xiao tried to move his fingers, and they regained their usual flexibility. All parts of his body felt as if they had broken free from layers of shackles, becoming very relaxed.

Gu Sheng-Yi's ability was quite troublesome. If it weren't in the arena, her 'Rusting' ability would cause near-irreversible damage to enemies. Conventional methods couldn't recover, unless obtaining rare permissions to wash the whole body, or high-tier recovery permissions.

Most contractors who fought Gu Sheng-Yi had to endure body metalization for several, or even a dozen worlds. Some even died in the process of obtaining rare recovery permissions.

However, this was in the arena, and Gu Sheng-Yi's ability couldn't cause 'irreversible' effects.

Even so, Gu Sheng-Yi was notorious. Even Tier 6 contractors wouldn't easily provoke her.

Gu Sheng-Yi's Azure Sea wasn't completely unsolvable. After she used this ability, there would be a clone in the seawater. Eliminating this clone would break the Azure Sea.

What was disgusting was that attacking that clone would be countered by the Azure Sea. Parts of the attacker's body would be metalized. The more attacks, the larger the metalized area, and the position was random. Being randomized to the brain meant direct defeat.

What was even more headache-inducing was that the clone was of the same origin as the Azure Sea, so it was very difficult to find. Even if found, attacking it would lead to metalization.

That wasn't all. Even if the Azure Sea was broken, one still had to deal with Gu Sheng-Yi's main body. This woman was very strong, and even without the Azure Sea, she was in the top three.

One of Su Xiao's purposes for fighting in the arena was to fight with enemies with all kinds of strange abilities. Gu Sheng-Yi was the most difficult opponent he had ever encountered.

【Hunter has promoted to the top of the Tier 5 Paradise Arena.】

【Hint: Hunter, please do not disclose the following information to the outside world, otherwise you will be subject to forced execution punishment.】

【Congratulations to the Hunter for promoting to the top position.】

【If the Hunter promotes to Tier 6, you will represent Reincarnation Paradise in the Strongest Contest!】

【Reincarnation Paradise's current quota for the next Strongest Contest: 0/3 (Hunter has reserved one quota).】

【In the Strongest Contest, the Hunter will encounter Tier 6 powerhouses from the Void, Native Worlds (Transcendence), and other Paradises.】

【If the Hunter obtains the top five in the Strongest Contest, the Hunter will be able to freely enter parts of the Void.】

【Reward evaluation in progress...】

【Evaluation complete. Detected that the Law-Breaker Hall has been destroyed. Hunter's ultimate skill, Green Shadow King, is in an un-awakened state (missing critical energy guidance).】

【If the Hunter obtains the top three in the Strongest Contest, Reincarnation Paradise will temporarily simulate the Law-Breaker Hall. At that time, the Hunter can take this opportunity to awaken the ultimate skill, Green Shadow King.】

Reading the hint to this point, Su Xiao suddenly realized. He had wondered before why the Law-Breaker's ultimate skill, Green Shadow King, couldn't be awakened. The awakening degree of Green Shadow King had long reached 99%, but it just wouldn't awaken.

Su Xiao had once thought it was because he hadn't realized something. Every time he asked Marvin Waltz about this, the other party would just smile without saying anything.

Now it seemed that the other party clearly knew that the ultimate skill, Green Shadow King, could no longer be awakened, but didn't say it directly. It should be because he was worried that Su Xiao would try to awaken it using other methods, which would likely lead to death.

It wasn't that Su Xiao hadn't realized anything, but that it couldn't be awakened due to external reasons.

Wanting to awaken Green Shadow King wasn't something one person could do. It was a method explored by many generations of Law-Breakers with their own flesh and blood. During that period, they didn't know how many times they failed, and many powerful Law-Breakers sacrificed themselves because of it. Unfortunately, that technology was severed.

【Hint: The Hunter's arena rewards have accumulated to the limit.】

【You have obtained Origin Stone.】

【Origin Stone】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Type: Special Equipment

Durability: 7000/7000

Equipment Effect: Heart Domain (Passive), if the Hunter carries the Origin Stone, you can improve your realization of the world, nature, environment, and space.

Hint: The improvement speed of Blade Technique Grandmaster has received a significant bonus from this effect.

Hint: The improvement speed of Melee Combat Grandmaster has received a small bonus from this effect.

Hint: Heart Meditation (Active/Passive) has received a significant bonus from this effect.

Introduction: After a native world above Tier 6 collapses, it will form a Devouring Black Hole, sucking in the wreckage of the entire world. After long-term accumulation, compression, and qualitative change, there is a 0.572% chance of forming an Origin Stone.

Selling Price: Please do not sell or lose this item. If the Hunter dies, Reincarnation Paradise will reclaim this item. If the Hunter's Tier 5 Paradise Arena ranking slips, and the challenger also reaches the limit of arena reward accumulation, the Hunter will lose this item. If the Hunter maintains the top position and promotes to Tier 6, you will obtain permanent ownership of this item.

A crystal emitting faint golden light appeared in Su Xiao's hand. The shape of the Origin Stone was similar to a pebble, with rounded lines. In the very center was a black dot. If spiritual power was attached to it, one would feel this black dot constantly expanding, finally turning into a black vortex, rotating slowly.

Su Xiao looked at the black vortex inside the Origin Stone. His consciousness seemed to enter it. That kind of relaxation was something he had never experienced before.

The world seemed to have changed its appearance. All kinds of elements drifted slowly. These elements floated around Su Xiao. They were like little elves. Some bumped into Su Xiao's arm, seemingly stunned, and flew away after circling Su Xiao a few times.

Su Xiao had always known that his elemental affinity wasn't low. On the contrary, his elemental affinity was higher than most spellcasters because Law-Breakers were elemental guardians. This was also the main contradiction between Law-Breakers and spellcasters.

Su Xiao withdrew his spiritual power, and the world returned to its normal appearance. The feeling of being surrounded by elements just now was really dazzling, especially fire elements. They often liked to gather in front of Su Xiao, having no idea how dazzling they were to themselves.

Undoubtedly, the value of the Origin Stone was very high. It could improve Su Xiao's realization of blade technique. Of course, this thing should have other functions, but Su Xiao hadn't discovered them yet.

Carrying this thing around had great benefits for developing blade technique. It was almost equivalent to being in the first layer of the Land of All Beings, just without the phantoms of other blade technique powerhouses, which made the efficiency of realizing blade technique moves greatly reduced.

But if you carried this thing into the Land of All Beings, then developing blade technique moves would be a very enjoyable thing.

Even so, the value of the Origin Stone didn't need to be said. Su Xiao only had the right to use it now. If others also won all the way from the tenth place and finally defeated him, then this thing would be someone else's. If Su Xiao maintained the top position and promoted to Tier 6, he could permanently obtain the Origin Stone.

Moreover, the sentence in the selling price, "Please do not sell or lose this item. If the Hunter dies, Reincarnation Paradise will reclaim this item," also explained the value of this thing.

Su Xiao didn't know if he was the strongest in Tier 5, or rather, he had no obsession with being the strongest in the arena. He was just pursuing strength. Unknowingly, he had fought to the top position.

Su Xiao exhaled a long breath. For some reason, he was suddenly looking forward to the subsequent promotion world. ===== CHAPTER 2006 =====
