Chapter 2806: Acquaintances

Tree Arena, yellow sand ground.

A gust of wind blew, sand grains were blown up, and the female war god, whose spirit was highly tense, lowered her body, her pupils shrunk to the extreme, staring at Su Xiao. In the moment just now, she even forgot that this was the Tree Arena and that she wouldn't truly die.

Even after thinking of this point, the female war god's palms were still sweating. The pressure was too strong. What she was facing now didn't seem to be a competitor, but rather she was in a mission world, confronting a hegemon-level creature of the human race. The pressure coming toward her made her breathing start to become heavy.

The spectator stands quieted down a lot, and most contractors noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.

"Ha!"

The female war god gave a low shout, yellow sand flying under her feet. She broke through a wave of air, and the long spear in her hand stabbed out with a whimpering sound.

The wind pressure struck. Su Xiao tilted his head slightly, and the sharp spear tip stabbed past his ear, blowing up his black hair. The enemy's movements were too slow.

Boom.

Before the female war god could react to what was happening, she felt a blunt impact on the back of her neck. It seemed that the enemy had smashed her neck with a hand blade. That almost irresistible giant force made her vision go black in bursts.

The female war god crashed to the ground with a boom, and a pit appeared in the sand. The impact pushed the surrounding yellow sand into a circular expansion. Because the force of hitting the ground was too strong, the moment the female war god crashed to the ground, she actually bounced up.

With a swish, the long blade pierced through the female war god's calf. Su Xiao flicked the long blade in his hand, and the female war god flew out.

Su Xiao stepped on the ground, blood energy expanded with him as the center point, and yellow sand splashed everywhere.

The female war god was still flying in mid-air when she was shrouded in blood energy. The incoming impact made her groan. She reached down with one hand, landed in a half-squatting posture, and slid a long way before stopping. Blood seeped out through the air holes of her mask.

"A rare opportunity."

The female war god endured the sharp pain from her calf and slowly stood up. In her view, the stronger the opponent she matched with, the luckier it was. In the arena, one wouldn't die, so one could hone combat experience.

Thinking of this, the energy all over the female war god's body exploded, and a silver dragon appeared behind her. This was her strongest ability.

Two seconds later, the female war god stood in her exclusive lounge, the half-broken long spear in her hand still maintaining a forward-stabbing posture.

With a clatter, the female war god threw the half-broken long spear to the ground. Her previous idea of honing herself by fighting with powerhouses disappeared. Just now, she only saw a cyan-blue slash, and then there was no then.

【Competitor has won, ranking promoted.】

【No ranking (Tier 7), ranking is visible within the top 10,000.】

Inside the lounge, Su Xiao was maintaining a meditative state to accelerate mana recovery. Before going to the Ancient Battlefield, he had consumed 27,000 points of Qinggang Shadow energy to construct the simplified Devour Core.

After meditating for a while, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baham, and Benny all appeared in the lounge. As Su Xiao's followers and permanent summoned units, they could also go on stage with Su Xiao after they arrived.

Su Xiao prepared to let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baham, and Benny fight the enemy in the subsequent competitions, while he took the opportunity to meditate and recover mana. Plus Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's Ice Snow Aura, mana recovery would be faster.

First was 6 or more consecutive wins, so he could open the continuous competition mode. Continuous competition was the only hope for reaching a high ranking.

"Moo."

Amu took out the Dragon Heart Axe and constructed an Ice Shield in its right hand. The Life Rebound effect was very strong in the arena. Recovery items and props couldn't be used in the arena. As long as one dared to attack Amu, there would be no good fruit to eat.

【Matching opponent...】

【Match successful, opponent has no ranking.】

The sensation of teleportation appeared, and the sound of splashing water came. Su Xiao looked around. He was already in a lush canyon, and a small stream flowed not far away.

Finding a strange rock, Su Xiao leaped up and sat cross-legged, starting to meditate.

A few dozen meters away, a man with a curved blade in his right hand and a short gun in his left hand was lost in thought. On the center of his brow, there was a cross-shaped tattoo.

"Started? Hmm, started. The enemy... is a summoner?"

The man's eyes were a bit dazed. This dazed guy examined Su Xiao for a while and concluded that the enemy was probably a summoner.

A countdown appeared above. When the countdown showed 0, the battle began. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baham, and Benny disappeared at the same time, leaving only Amu.

Seeing this scene, the dazed guy let out a low cry of "Holy crap." This arena fight was truly stimulating. Five opponents, one sitting cross-legged on a giant rock, seemingly meditating, and among the other four, three disappeared from his perception. Who could withstand this?

After a fierce battle, the dazed guy forfeited. After attacking the Ice Shield in Amu's hand, he suffered the Life Rebound effect. Not only was his whole body in pain, but his HP also dropped by a chunk, and he was also slowed down by the ice energy attached to the Life Rebound.

The group-fight tactic with Amu and Baham as the core was very useful. After Su Xiao meditated in multiple scenes, he successfully achieved 12 consecutive wins. Because he had been meditating, his mana recovered to 27,530/29,940 points.

Inside the lounge, Su Xiao opened the continuous competition mode. This time, he didn't bring Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baham, or Benny.

When the sensation of teleportation faded, Su Xiao was already standing on a mountain peak. This was a mountain peak that towered into the sky. The top was as if it had been slashed horizontally, cut into a platform shape. The surrounding mountain walls were very steep. Once blasted off, one would be teleported away and judged as defeated.

The diameter of the entire mountain peak platform was 100 meters, vaguely circular. The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder rolled, and lightning flashed through the dark clouds from time to time.

"My opponent, is it you?"

A short-haired girl wearing black soft cloth gloves was doing stretching exercises. This was clearly a close-combat melee type.

"I'm very rough, don't mind."

The short-haired girl blinked her left eye at Su Xiao and licked her lips. The next moment, she suddenly lunged out, the smile on her face very broken. This should be a contractor from Reincarnation Paradise.

A short while later, the short-haired girl was humming a song, covered in golden light, and was teleported away. This was the arena's protection mechanism, which would be triggered when about to suffer a fatal attack.

Continuous competitions began. Blade glows slashed across the mountain peak, and various attacks appeared occasionally, but they were all suppressed by the blade glows.

Ding.

Dragon Flash pierced into the ground. A monkey-like man leaped backward continuously. He was covered in bloodstains, his physical defense reduced to a very low level. The blood energy increased his stamina consumption speed and caused his physical defense to drop rapidly.

Su Xiao had already conducted 48 consecutive competitions. The opponents in the first dozen or so matches were all around the early Tier 7 strength. He relied on speed + slashing to crush them. In the case of a strength gap, this was the most effective way to deal with the enemy.

After more than 40 matches, the opponents began to be difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the fact that Su Xiao hadn't fought in the arena for too long, he wouldn't have been able to fight so many matches in a row.

"Blade Technique: Absolute Nether."

The slashing sound was crisp. The surroundings fell into darkness. The monkey-like man had just merged into space when he suddenly appeared, three slash marks appearing on his chest, and a large amount of blood spilled.

"If you've got the ability, go fight the top ten like the Apostle of the Moon or the Arcanist; what kind of skill is it to bully the weak?"

The monkey-like man, covered in golden light, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. He was ranked 2550th in the Tree Arena.

The monkey-like man disappeared from the spot. If he could match with high-ranking competitors, Su Xiao naturally wouldn't refuse, but unfortunately, he couldn't match them for the time being.

The monkey-like man had just disappeared. 3 seconds later, a new opponent arrived. This was a man wearing a mask, with messy hair scattered on his back like a lion. He looked very strong. Obviously, after winning another match, the opponent Su Xiao matched with reached the top 1000.

"Wait a moment."

The man with a strong aura spoke, then chose to surrender. His beast-like intuition made him not want to fight Su Xiao.

Su Xiao began to wait, but after this round of opponents surrendered, more than ten seconds passed, and no new opponents appeared.

【Note: Competitor has fought 50 consecutive matches. Because of the excessive number of consecutive wins, the next round of opponents will be competitors ranked 60–100 in the Tree Arena.】

Su Xiao chose to continue. He wanted to fight into the top ten to see if there were any rewards for the top ten in the Tree Arena.

Tap, tap, tap~

A huge round bell appeared above, starting the countdown. The appearance methods of competitors ranked in the top 100 were all different.

A spatial door appeared. After it opened, stairs appeared inside, and a figure walked down along the stairs.

A breeze blew, and the pink short hair swayed with the wind. Crimson water droplets condensed together, forming a slender firearm, which was grabbed by a hand.

"You."

The opponent, who had been full of presence when appearing, suddenly froze in place. She instinctively hid the slender firearm in her hand behind her back, but thinking that this was the arena, her face felt a bit hot.

"Actually met here, then let's have a fight."

Morei raised the slender firearm in her hand. Having been traumatized by Su Xiao and the Gray Gentleman, even if she met Su Xiao in the arena, she felt a bit empty in her heart. But as a Battle Angel, surrender was impossible.

Blade light slashed out afterimages, and energy bullets roared with air explosions. A short while later, Morei the Little Angel, who was nailed to the ground, chose to surrender. It wasn't that she had no backbone, but that being invaded by Qinggang Shadow energy was simply too painful.

After Morei surrendered, Su Xiao began to match with new opponents. This time, it was very likely to match with competitors in the top twenty.

Fighting to the current ranking, the probability of meeting acquaintances was high. In the previous few worlds, Su Xiao had contacted many contractors in the top fifty of the Tree Arena. Gourmet, Shepherd Owl, etc., were all in the top fifty.

A figure appeared. Before Su Xiao could see the opponent's appearance clearly, he actually received a victory prompt. The opponent in this round surrendered without even showing his face.

Inside a lounge, Flame Master sat on the sofa. The screen in front, which was in a closed state, was pitch black, reflecting his expressionless face.

"Damn!" ===== CHAPTER 2807 =====
