Chapter 2152

Su Xiao calmed his mind and sat cross-legged on the blood-colored earth of the Ancient Battlefield.

The normal process of improving Aura Release should be: Su Xiao uses his own aura to resist the blood energy of the Ancient Battlefield, thereby exercising his own aura to achieve the effect of improving Aura Release.

A long time ago, Su Xiao found a new way to open it. He used Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy to form a temporary Devourer, letting the Devourer absorb blood energy, filter, purify, and refine it, finally turning it into blood energy that could be absorbed directly by the body.

Light blue energy surged in Su Xiao's palm. He converted 10,000 points of mana into Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy to form a simplified version of the Devourer.

A few minutes later, a simplified version of the Devourer appeared in Su Xiao's hand. This thing was the size of a basketball, and an energy line the thickness of a little finger connected the simplified Devourer and Su Xiao, wrapping around his arm.

Don't underestimate this energy line. This thing contained 56 ultra-simplified small Devourers. Su Xiao's Devourer had already improved its upper limit once, and after solving the hidden danger of Blade Demon energy, he could fully control the Devourer in his body without any usage restrictions.

The simplified Devourer floated above Su Xiao. He took a deep breath, and dozens of small holes on the simplified Devourer opened. Like a whale sucking water, it instantly sucked the blood energy of the Ancient Battlefield within a hundred meters around into it.

Crack, crack, crack...

After a large amount of blood energy was sucked into the simplified Devourer, the simplified Devourer began to operate, purifying, filtering, and refining this blood energy.

Soon, a stream of light red energy surged out from the simplified Devourer. At this time, the simplified Devourer was already blood-red, full of blood energy impurities inside.

Pure blood energy was transmitted to Su Xiao along the energy line. The 56 more simplified Devourers in the energy line began to operate, filtering this blood energy again and again.

By the end, the blood energy had been filtered to be almost transparent, and only faint red could be seen vaguely.

Pure blood energy integrated into Su Xiao's aura without any obstruction. This was also the reason why he was willing to take the risk to come to the Ancient Battlefield.

Just as Su Xiao absorbed the blood energy within a hundred meters around and prepared to retreat, the blood-colored giant hand he had been guarding against did not appear.

Discovering this, Su Xiao held the attitude of giving it a try and continued to absorb the blood energy on the Ancient Battlefield. It was already enough now; he could retreat at any time.

A blood energy vortex appeared above Su Xiao, and blood energy from a small half of the Ancient Battlefield surged toward his side.

This vast momentum, not to mention the scavengers on the Ancient Battlefield, even Su Xiao himself felt slightly worried. He didn't believe that such a commotion hadn't attracted the attention of that white-haired monster.

Crack~

A crisp sound came from above Su Xiao. The terrifying white-haired monster didn't come, but the simplified Devourer couldn't hold on anymore; it had already filtered too much blood energy.

Su Xiao cut off the connection with the simplified Devourer. This thing was a consumable, and the blood energy impurities inside were very dangerous.

Just as Su Xiao pulled off the energy thread on his arm, the blood energy vortex above him enveloped him, and the mixed blood energy quickly eroded his body surface. He was instantly teleported back to the skill upgrade chamber.

Just after returning to the skill upgrade chamber, Su Xiao's hand pressed on the chamber wall, the veins on his arm bulging, covered with blood-colored patterns.

【Warning: The Hunter has been eroded by the blood energy of the Ancient Battlefield, has multiple fractures, mild organ damage, and trace amounts of blood energy residue mixed into the aura. Yes/No to pay for recovery.】

"Pa…y."

Su Xiao tried his best to keep himself calm. At this moment, his heart was boiling with killing intent. This feeling was driving him to slash everything within his sight to pieces.

【Hint: Clearing the blood energy erosion requires consuming 31,000 Paradise Coins.】

【Hint: Multiple fractures and organ damage require consuming 1,700 Paradise Coins.】

【Hint: Removing blood energy residue from the aura requires consuming 57,200 Paradise Coins.】

【Paradise Coin payment complete, starting repair.】

A few minutes later, Su Xiao wiped the sweat from his face. The boiling killing intent in his heart had vanished, and he had returned to his normal state.

Su Xiao checked the 'Aura Release' ability. This ability had been improved by a full 12 levels!

【Aura Release Lv. 68 (Active/Passive)】

Skill effect (Active/Passive): Because of absorbing too much blood energy, this effect is undergoing transformation, expected to take more than 20 natural days.

Hint: Because of absorbing a large amount of pure blood energy, Willpower +61 points (increased by 20 points).

Hint: Because of absorbing a large amount of pure blood energy, Willpower judgment rank +2.

Hint: Because of absorbing a large amount of pure blood energy, the aura can cause soul damage equal to Willpower x 12 to 'foreign object' enemies.

Seeing the changes in 'Aura Release', Su Xiao tried to release his aura. The aura was released successfully. Obviously, only the skill effect of 'Aura Release' was in a state of transformation, which did not affect Su Xiao's release of aura.

The bonus obtained by the Blood Beast was also affected, with the base attack intensity increasing from 4753 points to 4780 points.

The improvement intensity was so low because the improvement hadn't been completed yet. In the next 20 natural days, as the Aura Release ability transformed, the attack intensity of the Blood Beast would also gradually improve. It was very exciting to see what degree it could reach.

Su Xiao walked out of the Skill Upgrade Hall. Except for 【Mother of the White Goat】, all the resources he had obtained had been converted into strength.

This time, Su Xiao clearly felt that his strength had improved by a large margin. Because he had just improved many abilities, he returned directly to the exclusive room, took off his clothes, and fell asleep.

Sleeping for nearly ten hours, Su Xiao woke up in the aroma of food. Bubu Wang's dog face appeared before his eyes, its moist nose breathing hot air.

"Too close."

Su Xiao sat up from the bed and took half a box of fried chicken nuggets from Benny's cat paw. Benny was angry~

"Amu, half an hour later, go to the arena with me."

"Moo."

Amu spoke vaguely while chewing food. This time, Su Xiao was going to take Amu to fight in the arena—first, to evaluate Amu's resistance to beatings, and second, to exercise Amu's quality as a tank.

After washing up, Su Xiao took Amu and headed straight for the Tier 6 Paradise Arena. In less than half an hour, he entered the arena's lounge.

【You have entered the Paradise Arena (Tier 6).】

【Current match: 138,540 matches.】

【Competitor: Su Xiao.】

【Status: Good.】

【Paradise Arena Ranking: 36,109 (Tier 6).】

【Winning streak: 77 matches.】

【Top ten honor rewards: Not obtained.】

While enjoying breakfast, Su Xiao chose to match an opponent.

【Matching...】

【Successfully matched opponent, opponent competition number nature: Death Paradise.】

【Opponent competition ranking: 35,607th.】

A teleportation sensation appeared. Su Xiao put down his breakfast, and the next moment, he was teleported to the arena with Amu.

Fine sand was blown up by the breeze. This yellow sand venue had a diameter of about 200 meters. The circular auditorium around it was bustling with noise and excitement. The Tier 6 competition within 50,000 was packed!

On the high commentary stand, a Gray Crow race commentator took a deep breath. This was the fifth match he had commented on. His handsome face was a bit nervous. His family had paid a great price to let him stand here. As long as his combat commentary was outstanding enough, he could save his clansmen with his income.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."

Just as the Gray Crow race commentator's voice fell, the auditorium was silent. Sweat seeped from his temples.

"Damn! You scared the hell out of me!"

"What are you ghost-calling for?"

"Sorry!"

After the Gray Crow race commentator apologized in a very hardcore way, he continued:

"The two competitors have entered the arena. They are melee-type and summoner-type?"

The Gray Crow race commentator stared at Su Xiao and then looked at Amu beside him.

【Competition... Start!】

Golden characters appeared in the sky. Su Xiao took out a folding stool from his storage space, unfolded it, and sat on it. He would sit here the whole time and let Amu block the enemy's attacks.

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of meters away, Su Xiao's opponent was slightly stunned. He held a long spear, had a thin figure, and a head of white long hair. His aura tended to be sharp and rapid.

"Are you... looking down on me."

White-haired man · Cang Hu lowered his eyelids, feeling somewhat angry in his heart.

"Moo!"

Amu roared, and an ice war hammer manifested in its hand, rushing toward Cang Hu quickly.

"Electric Walk..."

Cang Hu disappeared from where he stood instantly. White arcs of electricity flashed, and he appeared in front of Amu instantly.

"The competitor from Death Paradise lives up to his reputation. This strike of his..."

The Gray Crow race commentator's tone was extremely excited. After all, it was the first time he had seen a competition where the big move was used at the very beginning.

Pfft!

Blood splashed. Amu stopped in place, holding the long spear that had pierced its left chest with one hand. Ice spread along the long spear. The enemy's stab hurt it, but it was only very painful. This thunder-like big move only caused Amu to lose 5% of its health!

The sand under Cang Hu's feet sank, and the veins on his neck bulged. However, even if he used all his strength, the long spear in his hand didn't advance any further after sinking in a small bit. The enemy's physical defense was quite terrifying.

"Spear Blade Tornado."

"Nameless."

"Pain · Doom!"

Spear light crisscrossed, and an air vortex formed around Cang Hu. Amu was in a defensive state, standing in place without moving. After a full half-minute, Amu wiped the blood from its face and smashed down with the ice war hammer. The clumsiness of the attack made most of the audience ashamed.

Half an hour later...

Cang Hu squatted on the ground, panting heavily, his clothes tattered, and wisps of cold air rising from his body.

The cold air attached to his body surface caused Cang Hu's speed to plummet. He couldn't get around Amu at all to fight Su Xiao in the distance.

Amu raised the ice war hammer, smash. Seeing this, Cang Hu first tilted his body and jumped backward, agile and elegant.

Compared to the flashy Cang Hu, Amu was much simpler. When the enemy's attack came, it used the ice shield in its left hand to block, then raised the hammer with its right hand, smash~

It was this simple attack that tortured Cang Hu to the point of agony. They had been fighting for half an hour, and the enemy's health... had recovered! That's right, it had recovered.

At first, Cang Hu could still hurt Amu with the long spear in his hand, but after Amu's health dropped dozens of times, its health recovery speed began to become terrifying.

After all, it was an ability exchanged with 13 Sealing Boxes. It was not worth being surprised to have this kind of strength.

What made Cang Hu even more desperate was that his real opponent had always been sitting in the distance.

"Ah!!"

Cang Hu, covered in blood, roared and rushed toward Su Xiao. The Gray Crow race on the commentary stand had long since stopped talking; he couldn't commentate anymore.

"You can do it, young man, don't give up!"

A shout came, and the audience began to cheer for Cang Hu. That feeling was like a righteous partner challenging a villainous big boss, while the onlookers cheered and ate popcorn.

With a 'whoosh', Cang Hu rushed in front of Su Xiao, lightning surging on the long spear in his hand. The corner of Cang Hu's mouth curled up slightly. After fighting until now, he could finally face his enemy directly.

Su Xiao raised his hand, and Cang Hu, who was lunging at him, suddenly showed a painful expression.

Pfft!

The broken-blade form of 'Banished' broke out from Cang Hu's chest. Cang Hu lunged onto the yellow sand in front of Su Xiao, blood spreading under him. He raised his hand tremblingly.

"You drop your ranking, fight in the arena—what a despicable act!"

Cang Hu glared at Su Xiao.

"So, so weak."

An audience member who had just been cheering and shouting gave a dry laugh. Hearing his words, Cang Hu's mouth opened and closed before disappearing; it should have been 'greeting' the other party's relatives and friends.
