Chapter 2280

In the contestant seats, the contestant from the Watcher Paradise sat next to Su Xiao. He wore a light black long coat, his beard at the chin was braided into thin plaits, and only shrewdness was revealed in those eyes.

This mustachioed mage was likely a 'Guardian' of the Watcher Paradise. The so-called Guardian was equivalent to the Hunter of the Reincarnation Paradise, the Combat Angel of the Apocalypse Paradise, etc.

"How about it, brother? Are you interested in my proposal just now?"

The mustachioed mage smiled on the surface, but his heart was blocked. He felt that today was truly too unlucky. He had finally fought his way to the fourth round of the Strongest Contest, and the hope of advancing to the fifth round was right before his eyes, but in the final battle, his opponent was a Law-Breaker.

The mustachioed man had been in contact with the Void before and had investigated the Void's culture, history, environment, etc., which included some information from the Law-Breaker era.

Therefore, the mustachioed man had some understanding of Law-Breakers, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, whether he would encounter one later was an unknown, and it was highly likely he wouldn't, unless he won the jackpot in the lottery.

But today, the mustachioed man not only encountered a Law-Breaker but also had to fight one. The mustachioed man's strength was certainly not weak, but he had figured out one thing.

The Arcane Eternal Star was so wary of Law-Breakers, which showed that the Law-Breaker's abilities were very targeted at magic-types. The mustachioed man didn't think he was stronger than those spellcasters. According to his estimation, the Law-Breaker's abilities might not just be targeted at spellcasters, but at all magic-types.

So the mustachioed man didn't want to take risks. He had seen the strength of the Gemini brothers, Shuge, and the Demon race's Monde. Competing with these people in the final round, he likely wouldn't get any benefits.

Rather than risking it to reach the fifth round, it was better to pay some price and be eliminated in the fourth round. His assets didn't allow him to die here; it was too much of a loss.

"Proposal?"

"I'll pay some price, but when we fight, heh..."

The mustachioed man raised his eyebrows and continued:

"You currently have 29 arena points. Assuming that in our battle afterward, I voluntarily forfeit after five minutes, as long as we cooperate well, you will at least add 10 more arena points. Moreover, we are the last battle of the third round. By then, the arena point ranking will be very clear. This is also the reason I came to talk to you."

The mustachioed man's palm opened, and a small hourglass the length of an index finger appeared in his hand. The sand powder inside fell slowly, revealing a crystalline white light.

【Hourglass of Light +13】

Origin: Watcher Paradise (Unique)

Quality: Epic

Category: Disposable item (Reinforced, this is a unique technology of the Watcher Paradise)

Usage effect: After using this hourglass, the user will obtain the protection of the Light Sand, forming a protective layer around the user.

Hint: The durability of the protective layer will be determined by the holder's health, stamina attribute, and physical defense.

Hint: Hunter's data has been checked. If the Hunter receives 'Light Sand Protection', the protective layer durability will be 86,000 points and can exist continuously for 10 minutes.

Reinforcement effect:

+5 additional effect: Protective layer durability increased by an additional 1,000 points.

+8 additional effect: This item can be used remotely on friendly units.

+10 additional effect: If the protective layer is shattered, the Light Sand will explode, restoring 8,700 health points to all friendly forces within 150 meters (the healing amount is 10% of the protective layer durability).

+13 additional effect: Protective layer toughness increased by 25%.

Score: 700+ (Epic item score is 530~700 points)

Introduction: The Light Sand will protect you.

Price: Due to Paradise regulations, this item cannot be sold in the Reincarnation Paradise, can be traded, can be discarded.

Seeing the attributes of 【Hourglass of Light】, Su Xiao was quite surprised. He had indeed never seen reinforced items; in the Reincarnation Paradise, one could only reinforce weapons, armor, or special equipment, etc.

But in the Watcher Paradise, items could also be reinforced. The reinforcement cost was unknown, but he imagined it wouldn't be too high.

The effect of 【Hourglass of Light】 was quite powerful. After Su Xiao used this thing, a Light Sand Protection would be generated around him, which was a protective layer. The durability of this thing was nearly 90,000 points. At a critical moment in battle, this thing could save his life.

Not only that, this thing could be used on friendly forces. If Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang was responsible for using this thing during battle, then whether it was Su Xiao, Amu, or Baja who was in danger, Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang could use 【Hourglass of Light】 on them.

If the protective layer was shattered within ten minutes, a large-scale recovery effect would appear, which was also quite good.

The 87,000-point durability of the protective layer was astonishing, but this was caused by Su Xiao's health, stamina, and physical defense. The strength of the Light Sand Protection was not constant; the stronger the beneficiary, the higher the durability of the protective layer.

"I'll trade this thing for five minutes."

The mustachioed man pinched 【Hourglass of Light】 with his thumb and index finger, his expression appearing calm but actually a bit worried.

"Deal."

Su Xiao raised his hand. The mustachioed man hesitated for a moment before placing 【Hourglass of Light】 into Su Xiao's hand. He didn't give up ownership, which meant 【Hourglass of Light】 was still the mustachioed man's item for the time being. Even if Su Xiao carried it, he couldn't bring it back to the Reincarnation Paradise.

There was no contract, just a verbal agreement. Even the mustachioed man didn't conduct a trade between imprints with Su Xiao.

For this kind of matter, it was enough to know it in one's heart; no notarization mechanism could be used.

When the battle between Su Xiao and the mustachioed man began, the mustachioed man would give up ownership of 【Hourglass of Light】, at which point the item would belong to Su Xiao.

Shang Yue in the adjacent seat witnessed this whole scene. She was not surprised by this, because her next opponent was Shuge. Her brother had already talked with Shuge; once five minutes were up, she would forfeit immediately.

"Brother, although we have already talked, on the field... heh, the Void Tree won't punish this kind of thing, but it probably doesn't advocate it either. With so many spectators watching, we always have to put on a show."

"No problem."

"Nice, brother. Who the hell said that everyone in the Reincarnation Paradise is crazy? It's simply slander."

The mustachioed man was in a good mood. His last sentence was completely polite talk, because he had fought against the Reincarnation Paradise side during the world contention battle, and that scene was deeply etched in his memory.

Just as Su Xiao finished negotiating with the mustachioed man, the battle on the field ended. It was the battle between the Night Enchantress and a Frost Wolf race member, and the result was the Night Enchantress winning.

The battle only lasted 30 seconds before the Night Enchantress dug out the enemy's heart. Looking at her expression, it was clearly that she was still unsatisfied, very charming, and she was experiencing pleasure through the enemy's pain.

"Give me more."

The Night Enchantress smiled charmingly. She crushed the heart in her hand, licked the bloodstains on her fingertips, and looked at Shuge. A moment later, she turned to Su Xiao, and finally, her gaze stopped on Monde.

Monde touched his short hair and grinned, saying: "White Night, do you think that woman is staring at me?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. Monde looked at the Night Enchantress on the field, considering how to slaughter the other party as quickly as possible. As for whether the other party was beautiful or not, he ignored it.

On the field, noticing Monde's gaze, the Night Enchantress smiled even more charmingly. The two were not on the same channel at all.
