Chapter 2702

Void, Arcane Eternal Star, Magic Great Library, second basement level.

The flame on the dragon whale fat candle was almost motionless. The Void was not a place lacking in technology, but every major race had its unique living habits. For example, on the Arcane Eternal Star, magic perfectly replaced technology here.

The candlelight was not dim, illuminating the surrounding ten-plus meters brightly. This atmosphere was very suitable for peace of mind.

The surrounding mahogany bookshelves all had a sense of history, and the air was filled with a faint scent of grass and trees, which could relieve mental fatigue.

A thin spellcaster wearing a cloth robe was sitting under a bookshelf in a casual posture. On the low table beside him was a hot drink with orange mist floating inside.

"It's truly wonderful. So the elemental power I have been controlling all along has this characteristic, but... is it really okay to devour elemental power?"

The spellcaster sitting in a casual posture was engrossed in the thick book in his hands. He was the Magic Energy Mentor, Heros. He had once fought Su Xiao and suffered a crushing defeat. That was a battle that almost shattered his beliefs; the power he had always firmly believed in had no room to fight back in front of a Law-Breaker.

Because of this, Magic Energy Mentor Heros had been depressed for a long time, and his figure had become thin. But for some reason, this somewhat decadent temperament of his attracted many young female spellcasters.

To be honest, Heros had a headache. In his view, they were all young people; they were more suitable for male spellcasters of their own age, rather than coming to find him, a failure who had entered middle age, was about to develop into old age, and yet had no great achievements.

In the ancient book, Heros's expression was even more decadent. He muttered in a low voice:

"Perhaps... devouring elemental power will eventually have evil consequences. Perhaps... elemental balance is really important? What should I believe in, after all?"

Heros suddenly closed the book in his hands. He decided on one thing, a matter concerning his life and death. Even if he were to die in the next second, he decided to do so. His ideal was to explore the unknown. As for fighting, after being educated by a madman from a certain paradise, he realized that he was not cut out for that.

Heros's aura gradually weakened. Elemental power with wood characteristics surged out from all over his body. He was releasing the elemental power he had absorbed for many years. This was almost his source power, and it was connected to his life force.

Wrinkles quickly appeared on Heros's skin. He felt himself gradually weakening, his life fire about to go out, and all the magic paths in his body collapsing.

Just at this moment, Heros was surprised to find that the wood-characteristic elemental power around him was actually surging backward, all returning into his body.

Different from before, because all the magic paths in his body had collapsed, he could no longer forcibly keep these source elements in his body. These wood-characteristic elemental powers could leave his body at any time, and at that moment, he would die.

"I... once bound you, yet even so, you are unwilling to watch me die."

Heros raised his hand, and a bright green vine emerged in his hand, quickly growing, blooming, and finally forming a wood-characteristic elemental fruit. This was what Heros had dreamed of before, but now, he did it very casually.

If Heros were willing, he could even make all the plants within dozens of kilometers grow wildly, including many extraordinary plants. If he wanted, his wealth could become even more astonishing in a short time.

"Are you tired? Then come back and rest."

Heros raised his hand, and the wood-characteristic elements around him slowly merged into his body. This was no longer a cage. At this moment, the Elementalist Heros was born.

Inside Reincarnation Paradise, Gulu, wearing a gothic dress, stood in front of the main entrance of the Attribute Enhancement Hall, the smile on her face exceptionally sweet. This was the result of practicing in front of the mirror dozens of times.

Originally, with Gulu's personality, it would have been impossible for her to say what she just said, nor could she smile so sweetly. This was all taught by the Witch. Initially, Gulu scoffed at it, but the Dark Night set was simply too tempting.

Gulu had just successfully promoted to the Seventh Tier, and it was somewhat of a forced promotion. She urgently needed to improve her abilities or use equipment to get through this period of weakness.

As long as she got through this period, plus the resource help from the Leader, Gulu's core abilities would successfully awaken by more than 60%. By then, she would be able to pin some of the top-tier Seventh Tier Qiyuezhe to the ground and beat them.

Gulu's talent and profession template both had the same characteristic: challenging the limit. Every time she succeeded, her strength would increase significantly. Once she failed, she would die suddenly within one or two world progressions due to her own weakness.

The Leader was willing to provide resources to Gulu, which had something to do with Gulu being a member of the Phantom Troupe, but not too much. More so, the Leader was somewhat surprised that Gulu could live until now. This showed how extreme Gulu's talent and profession template were; even the Leader was somewhat surprised that she could survive.

Amidst Gulu's smiling face, Su Xiao walked past her. Gulu's smile froze for a moment, then her expression began to darken, returned to normal after a while, darkened again, and finally returned to a smile.

"Calm down, must calm down. The Dark Night set is still in the other party's hands, and I can't beat him. As for integrity, I'll just pick it up later. Yeah, that's it."

Gulu's expression returned to normal, and she resumed that look of wanting to stab anyone she saw. The "show of force" of calling him "my father" had been completed, and she could proceed to the next step according to the Witch's plan.

Gulu followed Su Xiao with a calm expression, entering the Attribute Enhancement Hall together, looking around along the way.

"You didn't tell me to go away, which means I still have a chance to buy the Dark Night Walker set. We were once enemies; selling me items is aiding the enemy."

"..."

Su Xiao stopped in front of an attribute enhancement chamber and turned his head to look at Gulu.

"Why don't we aid each other? In principle, I'm aiding more heavily on my side. If you obtain that thing..."

Gulu seemed to think of something and suddenly shivered.

"If you get that thing, even if I break through the twelfth limit, I don't want to fight you. I'll die, I'll definitely die, I'll be hacked to death by you in a few slashes. The Split Blade definitely won't be able to block it."

"..."

Su Xiao frowned. He felt that Gulu was just bragging. Clearly, the other party had prepared items to trade for the Dark Night Walker set and was praising it heavily.

"I haven't improved my physical attributes yet either. See you later."

Gulu opened the attribute enhancement chamber next door and walked in. She seemed very confident in the items she had prepared. After all, that thing was given to her by the Leader, and long-term loans had already been arranged.

Gulu's thought was that she would be very poor for a period of time in the future, so she prepared to drag Su Xiao into poverty with her. She didn't believe that after the other party obtained that thing, he wouldn't invest a large amount of resources. That was the other party's core ability, and every investment could bring returns.

Ignoring Gulu for the moment, Su Xiao walked into the attribute enhancement chamber.

【Welcome to use the No. 107 High-Tier Enhancement Chamber. Detected that you are a Seventh Tier Hunter, you can use the High-Tier Enhancement Chamber for free.】

【Hunter can allocate Real Attribute Points: 26 points.】

The chamber door closed, and Su Xiao began to allocate the Real Attribute Points. His allocation method was: Strength +6, Agility +6, Stamina +7, Intelligence +7. Although the speed of balanced development of the four attributes was slow, there would be no obvious weaknesses.

The attribute enhancement chamber started running. Su Xiao felt the changes in his body. As his body gradually improved, he could feel that he was not far from a certain critical point: the barrier of reaching 200 points in naked attributes.

It is said that this heavy attribute barrier is very special. Some people say it can be broken through easily, while others are stuck here firmly. No one revealed the specific situation. Even intelligence merchants dare not sell intelligence in this regard.

An hour later, the attribute enhancement chamber stopped running. Su Xiao, with white steam rising from his whole body, opened his eyes and checked his own data.

Name: Su Xiao (Hunter)

Brand Level: lv. 69 (Seventh Tier)

Health: 100%

Mana: 28,920 points

Strength: 187

Agility: 187

Stamina: 187

Intelligence: 187

Charisma: 0.1

Luck: 29

Soul Strength: 350

Basic · Nerve Reflex Speed: 217 points

Basic · Dynamic Vision: 214 points

Killing Talent: Soul Eater (sss-grade)

Growth Talent: Blood Beast (sss-grade)

Mana would break through 30,000 points before long, and other physical attributes had also accumulated to a high level. The Luck attribute was still 1 point away from reaching 30 points.

Su Xiao was not in a hurry about this for the time being. Improving the Luck attribute would only yield attribute rewards when the naked attributes reached 20, 50, 80, and 150 points. As for whether there was one at 200 points, Su Xiao guessed that there was a high probability.

After improving himself, Su Xiao began to organize the items in his storage space. He had many things to sell.

Not to mention the Soul Coins needed to improve himself, Su Xiao wanted to purchase several Holy Spirit-grade pieces of equipment at a relatively high price during this rest period.

Among the equipment he was currently wearing, there were still several Epic-grade items: 【Night of the Wild Hunt (Epic-grade)】, 【Killing Instinct (Epic-grade · Belt)】, 【Scarlet Angel +13 (Epic-grade · Boots)】, and 【Gem Vow (Epic-grade · Scabbard)】. Although these pieces of equipment were all very strong and could be used for one or two more worlds, they also needed to be replaced as soon as possible.

Not only that, the Apostle's Eye's detection had become increasingly powerless recently. When fighting the Blood God, it only detected 31.7% of the other party's data.

In fact, Su Xiao could have bought a Holy Spirit-grade +12 detection-type equipment embedded with a detection-tier +1 gem long ago, but he didn't buy it.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't. The Apostle's Eye performs an Intelligence check on the enemy. Comparing Su Xiao's Intelligence attribute with the enemy's, the final gap determines the detection strength.

And that Holy Spirit-grade +12 detection equipment uses a Charisma check, comparing Su Xiao's Charisma attribute with the enemy's. If he were to encounter a strong person with Charisma characteristics and the other party's Charisma was 190 points, an embarrassing situation would occur where the enemy was 1,900 times higher than his own, and he wouldn't be able to detect any data at all.

Besides detection equipment, Su Xiao had long asked Benny to acquire other equipment that needed replacing, but she hadn't encountered anything too suitable. Even if she did, the price was more than 60% higher than the market price, which was ridiculously expensive.

This time, Su Xiao's gains were huge, so he decided to look for equipment suitable for himself at a price about 30% higher than the market price, gradually replacing several Epic-grade pieces of equipment with Holy Spirit-grade ones.

Besides the attribute enhancement chamber, Gulu was already leaning against the chamber door to the side, looking around with her arms crossed, seemingly holding something in her mouth.

"Oh, you're out."

After the cheek on one side of Gulu's face bulged, her speech became clear immediately. She said, "In order to get the Dark Night Walker, I've even been arranged to take out a loan."

"Hmm?"

"I'll offer 5 Soul Crystal Cores, plus this thing, to trade for the Dark Night Walker."

A scroll appeared in Gulu's hand. This scroll was entirely black and covered with blue patterns. Just taking it out gave people a sense of sharpness.

"I don't need Soul Crystal Cores for the time being."

Su Xiao still didn't know what 【Soul Crystal Cores】 were used for, although he had some vague guesses.

"When your master-level technique ability reaches level 60 or above, you will need them. The Leader told me. They are 1,000 Soul Coins each on the trading street, and they are gone as soon as they are put up. I'm sincere enough, right?"

Gulu threw the scroll in her hand over. Su Xiao caught it with one hand. After checking the data of this scroll, he had already decided in his heart: trade. This deal was very profitable.
