Chapter 2151

Reincarnation Paradise, in front of the Skill Upgrade Hall.

Contractors entering here were endless. Su Xiao entered the Skill Upgrade Hall with the crowd. There were quite a few people, and after waiting for a while, there was finally an empty skill upgrade chamber.

Just after entering the skill upgrade chamber, the chamber door locked automatically, and a prompt appeared.

【Please select the skill you need to improve.】

Su Xiao chose the Hunter's Soul Sickle ability. As for the Goddess's Favor, which could also be improved, there were no Paradise Coins to improve it for the time being.

【Improving Hunter's Soul Sickle: Lv. 1 (Passive skill) requires paying 1,000 Paradise Coins. Yes/No to pay.】

Seeing the improvement price of Hunter's Soul Sickle, Su Xiao was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that improving this kind of ability would be so cheap, so he decisively chose to improve it by 10 levels in a row.

Hum~

The skill upgrade chamber began to operate, and dots of cyan energy emerged, gradually sinking into Su Xiao's body.

There was a slight stinging sensation, not very obvious. Su Xiao could feel that he was gradually mastering a certain ability. Passive abilities are like this; when first mastered, there won't be a very intuitive manifestation. Only after fighting enemies in the future can one perceive the composition and principles of this ability.

【Hunter's Soul Sickle has been improved to Lv. 10.】

Skill effect: When attacking, it carries 27 points of damage that ignores physical defense.

Except for the improvement in damage intensity, there were no other changes. Su Xiao chose to continue improving.

The cost of improving Hunter's Soul Sickle Lv. 10 increased, from 1,000 Paradise Coins per level to 10,000 Paradise Coins per level.

It was still a drizzle. After Su Xiao paid 100,000 Paradise Coins, the improvement continued.

Cyan energy emerged and gradually sank into Su Xiao's body. For improving abilities, Su Xiao certainly wouldn't be negligent and had always been focused.

【Hunter's Soul Sickle has been improved to Lv. 20.】

Su Xiao didn't check the attributes of Hunter's Soul Sickle but checked the cost of continuing to improve. Sure enough, the price had gone up again; improving Hunter's Soul Sickle Lv. 20 required 15,000 Paradise Coins per level.

The benefit of improving combat-type passive abilities was reflected at this time: low consumption. Compared to cool and flashy active abilities, passive abilities were not only invisible but their lethality was far lower than active abilities.

Combat-type passive abilities need to be accumulated. This thing is not suitable for newcomers. Without accumulating a pile of passive abilities, the effect of this kind of ability is a drop in the bucket. According to statistics from data experts, a newcomer contractor with no skills, if mastering an ability of the same rank, the combat power improved by three passive abilities is approximately equal to one active ability.

Of course, this is for newcomers. If there are enough passive skills, it is quite terrifying. A seemingly inconspicuous slash might have seven or eight judgment effects.

The last trace of cyan energy sank into Su Xiao's body and was absorbed by his body.

【Hunter's Soul Sickle has been improved to Lv. 30.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao was very satisfied. Reaching Lv. 30 and not yet reaching the full level already explained the potential of Hunter's Soul Sickle.

【Improving Hunter's Soul Sickle: Lv. 30 (Passive skill) requires paying 20,000 Paradise Coins. Yes/No to pay.】

For Su Xiao, who held more than 1 million Paradise Coins, this was still not a high expenditure, so he chose to continue improving. If you have many Paradise Coins, you can do whatever you want.

Spending Paradise Coins is very refreshing, while obtaining Paradise Coins requires bearing life-threatening risks; this is Reincarnation Paradise.

More cyan energy emerged and sank into Su Xiao's body. It was very magical that the Green Steel Shadow energy did not repel this energy.

As time passed, Su Xiao ended his fourth improvement. There shouldn't be many people who improve 10 levels at once like him.

【Yes/No to continue improving Hunter's Soul Sickle: Lv. 40 (Passive skill)? Requires paying 30,000 Paradise Coins.】

The price started to get a little expensive. After Su Xiao pondered for a while, he chose to continue.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao inhaled slowly. The muscles all over his body were somewhat sore, but Su Xiao, who often performed high-intensity training, had long been accustomed to this feeling.

【Hunter's Soul Sickle has been improved to Lv. 50.】

It still hadn't reached the limit, which made Su Xiao's mood even better. The improvement cost above Lv. 50 had already started to become somewhat exaggerated—50,000 Paradise Coins per level.

Having already invested 750,000 Paradise Coins, there was no reason to give up now. Su Xiao paid 500,000 Paradise Coins, and a cyan crystal appeared in front of him, shattering with a 'bang', and blinding cyan light emerged.

When Su Xiao's vision recovered, severe exhaustion surged throughout his body. It was as if he had performed more than a dozen high-intensity battles in a row.

The exhaustion came quickly and faded quickly. In a few minutes at most, Su Xiao recovered his state. He clearly felt the changes in his body; his True Agility attribute had improved.

【Hunter's Soul Sickle has been improved to X, and core characteristics have been unlocked.】

Consuming a total of 1.26 million Paradise Coins, Hunter's Soul Sickle was finally improved to the full level. Of course, the total consumption of Hunter's Soul Sickle was more than 1.26 million Paradise Coins. Su Xiao had paid the Direwolf Suit to obtain the scroll for this skill. The total consumption was enough to make a Tier 5 large adventure group bleed.

【Hunter's Soul Sickle: X (Passive skill)】

Skill effect: When attacking, it carries damage that ignores physical defense equal to True Agility attribute x 2.1.

Exclusive characteristic: True Agility permanently increased by 5 points.

Su Xiao's True Agility attribute reached 137 points, becoming the highest of the four main attributes.

This is the benefit of improving passive abilities. Some passive abilities can permanently improve physical fitness. Of course, this kind of passive ability is very rare.

If Hunter's Soul Sickle wasn't precious enough, Shen Huang wouldn't have taken this thing out to trade with Su Xiao.

Having improved Hunter's Soul Sickle, Su Xiao didn't leave immediately. He hadn't improved 'Aura Release' for a long time. Every time he improved this kind of ability, he could obtain the greatest return with the lowest expenditure. The Ancient Battlefield was a good place, but unfortunately, it was too dangerous.

Every time he improved Aura Release, it was a very exciting experience. Anything could appear on the Ancient Battlefield.

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Xiao decided to take the risk and improve it once. After all, improving blood energy was equivalent to improving the power of the Blood Beast.

【Selection complete. If you need to improve 'Aura Release Lv. 56', you need to pay 200,000 Paradise Coins + Soul Crystal (Complete) x1. Yes/No to pay.】

The consumption was not low, and it also required consuming a Soul Crystal (Complete).

"Pay."

Just as Su Xiao's voice fell, a teleportation sensation struck. When his vision recovered, he was already in the Ancient Battlefield.

The ground was dark red, as if soaked in blood. The corpses of giants were crawling on the ground, the oak shield in their hands was already broken, and not far from it was the head of a black dragon.

The corpses of powerhouses of various races were scattered on the Ancient Battlefield. Because there were corpses of the Demon race, the Ancient Battlefield was filled with a sulfur smell. Just smelling this smell made one feel dizzy.

Scarlet mist drifted on the Ancient Battlefield; this was the blood energy of countless powerhouses before they died.

Su Xiao stood in the blood energy, one hand pressed on the hilt of his blade. Dozens of meters in front of him, a corpse stood there. The chest of this corpse was pierced, and the blood had already dried up.

Su Xiao now had two choices: one was to brace himself against the blood energy around him and strategically retreat, and the other was to immediately return to Reincarnation Paradise, letting those 200,000 Paradise Coins and a Soul Crystal (Complete) go down the drain. If they fought head-on, he would definitely die, without any suspense.

Just now, after Su Xiao arrived at the Ancient Battlefield, a spatial rift appeared, and this corpse walked out from the spatial rift.

"Waiting for you, for a long time."

The corpse spoke, its voice dry and hoarse. Its hand pressed on its own head, and with a 'crack', it lifted its own skull.

"..."

Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. He didn't sense any obvious hostility.

"The Empty Seat Banquet will be held at 'Dark Star Dusk'. This is, your, admission letter."

The corpse took out a black card from its own head and tossed the card toward Su Xiao.

With a 'click', the corpse closed its skull, revealed an extremely terrifying but self-perceived kind smile, then dug out one of its own eyeballs and crushed it.

Bang~

The corpse disappeared from where it stood, as if it had never appeared.

Su Xiao looked at the black card in his hand. This was an invitation from the Starry Sky Seat. Last time after Su Xiao arrived at the Starry Sky Seat, Ma Wen · Waltz had sent a message, asking him to use the output of the Black Maple Tree as a bargaining chip to extort other participants of the 'Empty Seat Banquet' to his heart's content.

Su Xiao pondered for a moment and understood what was going on. The Ancient Battlefield was located in the Void. Thinking about it this way, the appearance of the corpse wasn't abnormal. The other party might have been looking for an opportunity to send him the admission letter for the Starry Sky Banquet, and now there was finally an opportunity.

If he could participate in this Starry Sky Banquet, the sales channel for the Black Maple Tree would be settled. At that time, using the resources obtained, Su Xiao's strength would be greatly improved.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao was very much looking forward to this Starry Sky Banquet, but he didn't know how long 'Dark Star Dusk' referred to.
