Chapter 291: Becoming Stronger and Stronger

Leaving the exclusive room, Su Xiao headed straight for Xia's restaurant. He had only eaten a little bit during the previous 36 hours, and now he was famished; he felt he could eat a whole cow.

Familiar with the route, he arrived at Xia's restaurant. Xia was lying bored on a dining table, yawning.

"This lousy shop, it's finished~."

Xia sat up lazily and had just taken out a tablet computer when Su Xiao walked into the restaurant.

"Hmm? You survived."

Xia looked at Su Xiao in surprise.

"Is surviving such a strange thing?"

Su Xiao picked up the menu on the table, ordered more than a dozen types of food, and threw the menu to Xiang Bubu Wang.

A look of contemplation appeared on Xiang Bubu Wang's dog face. A furry paw tapped repeatedly on the menu; this meant it had selected a certain dish.

Although it was a bit strange for a dog to order food, Xia still noted down the dishes Xiang Bubu Wang had ordered.

After Xiang Bubu Wang ordered dozens of dishes, Xia's expression began to turn bitter. Having customers was a good thing, but this dog could really eat.

"Can you eat all that?"

Su Xiao looked at Xiang Bubu Wang.

"Woof."

"Suit yourself."

Su Xiao could already understand some dog language; his beast language was about level 6, with level 10 being the maximum~.

"That~, customer~."

Xia smiled brightly, interrupting Xiang Bubu Wang from continuing to order.

"We're short on ingredients; there's only this much."

Xia looked slightly embarrassed; she didn't store too many ingredients in her shop, after all, there weren't many customers usually.

Xiang Bubu Wang looked at Xia, and that gaze clearly said: "What a lousy shop."

Xia was stunned; she felt she had been looked down upon by a dog, even though this dog looked majestic and had high intelligence.

Xia looked at her own thin arms and legs, then at Xiang Bubu Wang's size, and decided to endure it.

Xia began to get busy in the kitchen, while Su Xiao and Xiang Bubu Wang gorged themselves in the restaurant.

An hour later, Xia, covered in sweat, leaned against a chair, motionless. Sweat slid down her cheeks, as if she had done something indescribable with Su Xiao, but in reality, she had just been cooking the whole time.

"This isn't coming to eat, I'm so tired... my waist."

Sweat stuck Xia's hair to her face, but when she saw the 100 Paradise Coin savings card Su Xiao had left on the table, Xia couldn't help but smile.

"A generous customer."

Su Xiao walked within the Reincarnation Paradise, patting his stomach with satisfaction, and headed straight for the Attribute Enhancement Hall.

His three main attributes were about to reach 30 points. Once they reached 30 points, a new skill for the Shadow of the Law-Breaker would be unlocked.

This time, Su Xiao wanted to appropriately increase his Stamina attribute, at least to 20 points.

Arriving at the Attribute Enhancement Hall, he paid 100 Paradise Coins to obtain the right to use an attribute enhancement chamber.

【Welcome to the attribute enhancement chamber. Your base attributes are as follows.】

Strength: 29

Agility: 28

Stamina: 18

Intelligence: 28

Charisma: 3

【Hunter has 16 attribute points available for free distribution.】

【Beep, detected that the Hunter's main attributes are Strength, Agility, and Intelligence. Please prioritize increasing these three attributes.】

There were 16 attribute points available for free distribution. Su Xiao's distribution method was: Strength 3, Agility 4, Intelligence 4, Stamina 5.

This time, he focused on strengthening the Stamina attribute. The Stamina attribute couldn't be too low; Strength, Agility, and Intelligence attributes all had to be supported by the Stamina attribute. If the three main attributes were too much higher than the Stamina attribute, the body's functions would collapse.

For example, if you threw a punch with 50 points of Strength, but your Stamina attribute was only 10 points, your arm would collapse first during the punch. That would be self-mutilation, not combat.

【Attribute distribution complete. Strengthening begins. Strengthening will be accompanied by immense pain. Yes/No to use anesthesia function? This function is free.】

Su Xiao ignored the prompt and chose to start strengthening.

The attribute enhancement chamber began to operate. Su Xiao closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the floor, his masseter muscles protruding, and his skin gradually turning red.

Just as Su Xiao prepared to welcome the intense pain, the unbearable agony he had imagined did not appear.

Although strengthening attributes was still not easy, it was much better than the feeling of being worse than dead from before.

Su Xiao was a bit puzzled, then thought of something; perhaps it was because he was strengthening Stamina.

A long time later, the enhancement chamber stopped operating. The red on Su Xiao's skin faded. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

Crack, crack, crack~.

Surging power emerged within his body. His base Stamina attribute exceeding 20 points didn't trigger a reward; that was a privilege only for the three main attributes.

Now, Su Xiao's attributes had become:

Strength: 32

Agility: 32

Stamina: 23

Intelligence: 32

Charisma: 3

That base 3-point Charisma attribute was a bit of an eyesore, but the other attributes were all very strong.

His base Stamina attribute was 23 points, and with the bonus from the Arena King, it was 25 points. His survival ability had risen by a notch, but he still had to be careful; this couldn't solve the situation of being killed instantly after being focused by fire.

All three main attributes exceeded 30 points. Su Xiao asked the Reincarnation Paradise how many points were needed for the next reward after the 20-point reward.

The Reincarnation Paradise's reply was that the three main attributes needed to be raised to 50 points. The rewards at that time would be very different from the 20-point reward, and the reward for each attribute would significantly enhance his combat power.

Su Xiao checked the skill list of the Shadow of the Law-Breaker. Sure enough, the new skill could already be unlocked. The requirements were not low: Soul Crystal (Medium) and 5,000 Paradise Coins.

He didn't unlock the new ability immediately, but left the Attribute Enhancement Hall and returned to his exclusive room.

Returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed.

At this moment, Xiang Bubu Wang's energy was very vigorous, and its large, pitch-black eyes were scanning everywhere. That dumbbell had already been sacrificed, not even the handle remained. It walked to the sofa, staring blankly at it, seemingly interested in this object. The sofa was in despair; it was worth 15 Paradise Coins.

Su Xiao didn't notice Xiang Bubu Wang. He needed to upgrade the Shadow of the Law-Breaker skills; there were several abilities that needed to be upgraded.

He took out all the Soul Crystals he had obtained and placed the 【Golden Honor Scroll】 in front of him.

Soul Crystal (Small) x2, Soul Crystal (Medium) x1.

Su Xiao picked up the two Soul Crystals (Small); he planned to upgrade the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability first. Now, Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying had reached Lv. 7 and was very powerful.

Consuming two Soul Crystals (Small) and 2,000 Paradise Coins, the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying skill was upgraded by two levels.

【Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to Lv. 8.】

【Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying has been upgraded to Lv. 9.】

The peculiar energy within Su Xiao's body grew. He had a vague feeling that after Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying reached Lv. 10, it would undergo a qualitative change.

Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying: LV. 9 (Active Skill)

Usage Condition: After activating (Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying), the Hunter consumes 5 Mana per minute. It automatically shuts down when Mana is below 1.

Skill Effect: After activating (Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying), each melee attack will burn 34 points of the enemy's Mana and deal an equal amount of True Damage. The enemy will suffer intense pain after the Mana burn.

The damage of Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying was becoming increasingly terrifying. What was the concept of 34 points of True Damage?

However, the Mana consumption of 5 points per minute was also a headache. Assuming Su Xiao didn't have his talent ability, his current Mana was only 320 points, and Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying could last for at most one hour.

After strengthening Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying, Su Xiao picked up the 【Golden Honor Scroll】. This scroll could upgrade his Sword Mastery to Sword Grandmaster.

Sword technique was Su Xiao's core ability. Each level upgrade would enhance his combat power, let alone an entire tier upgrade.

Calming his mind, Su Xiao used the 【Golden Honor Scroll】.
