Chapter 2279

After the supreme person left, the Rinfeng King glanced at Seraphia, sat down, and took the opportunity to glare at the Wind Prince beside him.

"Don't always stay at home; come out and see the world."

"O-okay."

The Wind Prince was a bit dazed. His father was from the peace faction; although usually serious, he hadn't been as domineering as he was today.

"We have to compete with Law-Breakers again, but this time there is only one Law-Breaker, and fortunately, there is only one."

"Father, aren't we peace..."

"A thousand years ago, I was one of the main forces opposing Law-Breakers."

"Ah?!"

The Wind Prince was stunned. He had indeed never heard of this matter, or rather, as a homebody, he only now realized that his father was so powerful.

Seraphia also sat down. She looked at Dilin lying on the sand arena; it was already a corpse.

"Dilin, this is the last gift you gave me."

A smile appeared on Seraphia's face. The supreme person's attitude was already very clear: eliminate this last remaining Law-Breaker. The difficult part was that this Law-Breaker came from the Reincarnation Paradise.

Some things are both coincidences and inevitabilities. If it were before, Su Xiao and the Arcane Eternal Star were only potentially hostile, and the grudge was from Seraphia alone.

Then today, Su Xiao and the Arcane Eternal Star were thoroughly hostile, and the Arcane Eternal Star would use various methods to eliminate him.

For Su Xiao, this actually made no difference from before. Marvin Waltz once said it well: having a backer is good.

Su Xiao could grow strong quickly within the Reincarnation Paradise. Unless he had stealth permission, he basically didn't come to the Void, or he would only come to the Void when executing missions for the Reincarnation Paradise.

As long as he was executing missions, Su Xiao felt that even the Arcane Eternal Star couldn't do much to him. Therefore, his goal remained the same as before: become stronger and experience the scenery during the process of becoming stronger.

Su Xiao always firmly believed that strength needed to be accumulated continuously. As for those enemies whose strength was far beyond his, if he couldn't beat them, he couldn't beat them. He didn't believe that such enemies would have low combat intelligence. As for techniques, such powerful people would only have experienced more trials; why would they be weaker than him? Just because he was the only remaining Law-Breaker? It was simply impossible.

It was precisely for this reason that Su Xiao had always been avoiding direct contact with Mage Sage Seraphia. Even if there was contact, it was at grand events like the Strongest Contest, which were notarized by multiple parties.

Right now, as long as Seraphia dared to make a move, the Void Tree and the Reincarnation Paradise were not just for show; they could definitely kill her. Seraphia also knew this, so she could only watch from the spectator stands.

Strength needs to be fought for by oneself, so Su Xiao had always been using strategy to avoid enemies he absolutely couldn't beat. As for those he could barely beat, he had to try even if it meant taking risks; otherwise, he couldn't possibly have his current strength.

Su Xiao was able to inherit the Shadow of Law-Breaker back then only because he used his ordinary human physical fitness to assassinate a king in the Pirate World. Although the king himself was weak, his power was great. To complete this matter, Su Xiao risked using a pirate crew.

This excessive gap in comprehensive strength allowed Su Xiao to obtain a world-class ring, thereby inheriting the Shadow of Law-Breaker.

Afterward, because of the strength improved by being a Law-Breaker, Su Xiao beat up Ghouls in the second world.

Su Xiao couldn't choose his starting point, but he used his life as a chip to gamble for a high starting point back then. From then on, he went wherever it was dangerous. The higher the tier, the more this was true. In the Reincarnation Paradise, slow strength improvement = less resource acquisition = gradually being surpassed = chronic death = dying on the spot.

The most fair point of the Reincarnation Paradise was that as long as one dared to fight, one could obtain a large amount of resources. Moreover, during world contention battles, although those crazy teammates were completely uncontrollable and not united, they were strong enough and never held him back. Even if captured alive by the enemy and subjected to torture, the probability of them leaking their own side's intelligence was very low, low to an exaggerated degree. For Su Xiao, having such crazy teammates was enough.

Su Xiao had experienced many dangerous situations, and he had forgotten how many times he had experienced near-death.

Dead Silence City, Origin Island, Heru City, God's Kingdom.

These places were more dangerous than the last, and for the current Su Xiao, these were just the beginning. He would go to more dangerous places later. While dangerous, the scenery on the road to becoming stronger would also be more brilliant.

On the yellow sand arena, Su Xiao sheathed Zhan Long Shan and stepped toward the contestant seats. He now had a small goal: to enter the Void without the protection mechanism of the Reincarnation Paradise. That would also mean he had the initial qualifications to face the Arcane Eternal Star directly.

As for one person hard-countering the entire Arcane Eternal Star, that was still a bit far off, but Su Xiao's speed of becoming stronger within the Reincarnation Paradise was not slow; this was his advantage.

As for the reason for being hostile to the Arcane Eternal Star, in Su Xiao's view, there was actually no special reason. Since the other side had come to his door, he certainly couldn't keep hiding. It just wasn't the right time yet.

The spectator stands remained quiet; after all, the scene of a Law-Breaker beating up a spellcaster was a bit too stimulating for them.

Su Xiao returned to the contestant seats. Just as he sat down, most of the contestants looked at him differently. The attitude of some people was already very clear: they wouldn't become enemies with Su Xiao and would maintain normal interaction, but they were also afraid of causing trouble. The little fatty in seat 18 was like this; after nodding and smiling at Su Xiao, he stood up and left in silence. He didn't dare to provoke the Arcane Eternal Star, as that would implicate his race.

There were a few people who had no changes, namely:

The Night Enchantress from the Transcendent Native World, wearing a witch's hat.

Shuge, who was yawning and looked like he hadn't woken up.

The Gemini brothers, who had barcodes all over their heads and were playing with a Rubik's cube.

The miner hunk from the Apocalypse Paradise, with a mining shovel hanging from his waist.

The Devil race member wearing a suit, holding a contract, and negotiating with a contestant; the other party looked like they were about to write the word "helpless" on their face.

Monde, sitting in seat 38 with his legs crossed. This guy was holding a translucent tablet computer and playing a puzzle game provided by Su Xiao. Looking at Monde's expression, his current thought should be: Who am I? Am I crazy? Why am I playing this game that is so hard it makes people collapse?

With a slap, Monde slammed the tablet in his hand onto the ground. After stomping on it hard a few times, he immediately felt refreshed. He understood: this 'game' should be played like this.

The Feather race Young Lady Shang Yue in the adjacent seat also had no changes. She was holding a very exquisite cake, and the sweet fragrance in her mouth made her eyes squint in happiness. Her conclusion was: it's still good to be alive.

Su Xiao picked up a piece of dessert, and after taking one bite, he frowned; it was too sweet.

The second round of battles continued. Su Xiao began to close his eyes and rest. He had only one purpose for participating in the Strongest Contest: to reach the top three and thereby obtain the qualifications to awaken the Green Shadow King.

There were 88 contestants in this round, which meant 44 battles. Most of them had one side forfeit within five minutes, so the progress was not slow, with 5 to 9 battles per hour.

Night was falling. As soon as the sky darkened, lights lit up all over the arena. Not only that, the arena below also changed. The yellow sand on the arena leaked into the ground, and metal plates floated up one by one.

Each metal plate was 10 meters long and wide, with a thickness of over 6 meters, spliced together seamlessly. The surface had a brownish coating, with mottled bloodstains that couldn't be washed off, as well as pitted marks.

The second round ended at 11 PM. Of the 88 contestants, only 32 remained at this time. Some died on the field, and more were eliminated.

【Announcement: The number of contestants in this round is below 40. After the next round ends, the top ten in arena points will obtain the qualifications to participate in the fifth round of the Strongest Contest.】

Seeing this announcement, Su Xiao was not surprised. Before four rounds were even finished, the number of contestants was down to only 32, and the third round became the final round.

Su Xiao glanced at his arena points: 29 points, ranking second. The first place was the Gemini brothers, who had 30 points. In the previous two battles, the Gemini brothers had good luck, their opponents had average strength, and the battles ended as soon as they started.

This situation was actually unavoidable. When Dilin fought Su Xiao, she completely carried out one word: "cowardly." She used all kinds of abilities just to drag it out to five minutes. As for the expectations of her mentor Seraphia? Go to hell.

Su Xiao glanced at the points of the tenth place: 19 points. This meant that Su Xiao had to win in the third round; otherwise, even if he didn't die, he might be eliminated.

Su Xiao still had trump cards. Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baja, Amu, and Benny had not yet entered the field. Once they entered, it would be five against one.

32 numbers appeared on the screen above the arena. A dozen seconds later, the drawing results appeared. Su Xiao saw his own number, 16, at the first glance, and below it was 78.

Su Xiao shifted his gaze to look at a man wearing a robe; the other party came from the Watcher Paradise.

I don't know the reason, but Su Xiao was at odds with the magic-type this time. There were three battles in total. The second battle was against the spellcaster Dilin, and the third battle was against a magic-type from the Watcher Paradise. Judging by the aura, this was a mage.

"Brother, I have a project worth more than 2 million Watcher Origins. Shall we talk about it?"

The Watcher Origins mentioned by this contractor was the currency mechanism of the Watcher Paradise, the same as the Paradise Coins of the Reincarnation Paradise. '50 Paradise Coins' is approximately equal to '64 Watcher Origins'.
