Chapter 3094

Inside the office in York City.

Su Xiao put down the confidential document sent this morning. Things were already on the right track. Aqi successfully participated in the investigation of the "Thorn Flower Press bombing case." Presumably, he would soon meet that white-haired boy.

"What exactly are you doing?"

Lie Chao picked up the confidential document on the table to check. The situation was too complex, and the intelligence she knew was too little, leaving her confused.

"Let me, the great master, explain it to you."

Baha coughed lightly and began to narrate the situation. In fact, it was very simple. Su Xiao and Kingsley's competition for the Mermaid had not yet reached the level of direct confrontation between the two sides.

Aqi represented Su Xiao's side, and the white-haired boy represented Kingsley's side. Moreover, Aqi and the white-haired boy didn't know about this.

Aqi and the white-haired boy were about to form a small team to investigate the "Thorn Flower Press bombing case." Taking this as a starting point, they would learn that the Mermaid had appeared. Under the secret promotion of Su Xiao and Kingsley, the small team of Aqi and the white-haired boy would go to find and capture the Mermaid.

The white-haired boy had the characteristics of the Son of the World (Fake). Under the blessing of the power of the world, the probability of capturing the Mermaid, although not high, was not too low.

If the bonus received by one Son of the World (Fake) was not enough, then what about two Sons of the World (Fake)?

Su Xiao had a fragment of the Devourer in his hand, which was directly related to Aqi. Just this morning, Su Xiao put a 【Seed of Destiny】 into the glass bottle containing the Devourer fragment, letting the Devourer fragment gradually devour this thing.

【Seed of Destiny】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Quality: Epic

Type: Prop/Consumable (can be used once)

Usage effect: When in a derived world/native world, this item can be implanted into the body of a plot character. This plot character has a certain probability of becoming the Son of the World (Fake) of this world.

Score: 999 points.

Introduction: This is... a toy for madmen.

Sale price: Cannot be sold.

Su Xiao didn't choose to implant it, but let the Devourer fragment devour the 【Seed of Destiny】. As long as the resonance effect was achieved, this was no different from implantation. After all, the main body of the Devourer was located in Aqi's body.

Don't underestimate this Epic-grade 【Seed of Destiny】. This was obtained by Su Xiao in the Dark Prison world after killing the genuine Son of the World, Douglas.

If one Son of the World (Fake) was not enough, then two. There were too many secrets about the Mermaid. If they fought hard, the price paid would be too high, and it would likely lead to the Mermaid's death. Then they would have to wait more than ten years, or even twenty years, for the Mermaid to reappear.

Therefore, Kingsley's induction of the white-haired boy to go was a very wise choice.

Two Sons of the World (Fake), plus many members of the Eclipse organization and the Institution paving the way in secret, and the blood of the little boy from Winter Spring Town—these factors combined made the probability of the protagonist team capturing the Mermaid quite considerable.

After the protagonist team captured the Mermaid, the Mermaid would no longer be dangerous. That was when the competition would begin. Aqi and the white-haired boy would definitely not get the Mermaid. This thing could only fall into the hands of three parties: 1. Su Xiao, 2. Kingsley, 3. Alliance Council.

The few people on the Alliance Council side were actually not stupid. The reason they made so many confusing behaviors was mainly because they were not united. How could people who could climb to that position be stupid? Various orders came down, and the people below were dumbfounded, so all kinds of strange operations and confusing behaviors came out.

As long as Su Xiao obtained the Mermaid, he could use the Mermaid's characteristics to lure the Death Grail away. His goal was to drink the water liquid inside the Death Grail.

After drinking this water liquid, he would temporarily awaken a third talent. This talent would only last for about half a month. During the duration, this talent would default to the secondary awakening state.

The third talent that could only last for 15 days was not what Su Xiao wanted. He had an item named 【Ancient Will】.

【Ancient Will】

Origin: Primitive Continent

Quality: Holy Spirit-grade

Category: Special Item/Ornament

Equipment durability: 59/59

Usage durability: 1/1

Equipment prerequisite: None.

Usage prerequisite: Talent already secondary awakened.

Equipment effect: Fearless Person (Passive), Willpower +20 points.

Usage effect: Activate the Limit Breakthrough Quest (this is a talent quest).

Currently can choose to accept talent quest: 2 types (Spirit Eater/Blood Beast).

Warning: This quest is extremely dangerous and requires at least promotion to the eighth tier to complete this talent quest.

Hint: After activating the talent quest, a world suitable for talent breakthrough will be matched according to the hunter's own talent characteristics.

Hint: After completing the talent quest, the selected talent ability will break through the limit.

Hint: The talent quest can be activated at most once. Failure will result in permanent inability to activate again.

Score: 1000+++ (Holy Spirit-grade equipment/item score is 700~1000 points).

Introduction: The masterpiece of the ancient elves.

Price: Cannot be sold after acquisition.

After temporarily mastering the third talent, Su Xiao could use 【Ancient Will】 to perform a talent breakthrough on the third talent and accept the talent quest.

Of course, after completing the talent quest, the temporary third talent ability might be transformed into a permanent talent. In this regard, Su Xiao had more than 90% confidence.

Su Xiao didn't care about what benefits the mastered permanent third talent had. His real goal was to obtain the exclusive talent ability of the Law Breaker.

In the Tree-Born World, there was a 【Talent Awakening Device】 left behind by the Law Breaker. Using that device required sacrificing one of one's own awakened talents to perform talent awakening, thereby awakening the unique talent ability of the Law Breaker.

Su Xiao's goal was to sacrifice the third talent he mastered to obtain the unique talent ability of the Law Breaker.

The entire process was as follows: capture the Mermaid -> lure the Death Grail -> drink the water liquid inside the Grail -> temporarily master the third talent -> use 【Ancient Will】 -> break through the third talent into a permanent talent -> enter the Tree-Born World -> find the 【Talent Awakening Device】 -> sacrifice the third talent, obtain the unique talent ability of the Law Breaker.

Compared to using 【Ancient Will】 to break through Spirit Eater and Blood Beast, Su Xiao wanted to master the unique talent ability of the Law Breaker more.

With the existence of 【Ancient Will】, there should be opportunities to break through Spirit Eater and Blood Beast in the future, but the opportunity to master the unique talent ability of the Law Breaker was only this once. Everyone could only enter the Tree-Born World once in their life. Su Xiao would receive the conscription in the near future. If he refused, he would never be able to enter again.

As for using 【Ancient Will】 to activate the talent quest and the world that matched the talent breakthrough, there was no need to worry. He temporarily obtained the third talent by relying on the Death Grail. The obtained talent was based on himself and would also have the characteristics of this world.

Even if matching started, it would match a certain area within this world as the location to execute the talent quest.

Su Xiao was plotting something very big, and the span might even be two world progresses, or even longer. This was the scenery on the road to becoming stronger. Without pursuit, how could one talk about being hostile to the entire Arcane Eternal Star?

Su Xiao stood the cylindrical glass bottle on the table. The Devourer fragment inside had completely devoured the 【Seed of Destiny】.

On the side, Baha had already clarified the situation of the white-haired boy and Aqi to Lie Chao, as well as what partners the protagonist team formed by the two would encounter, and finally went to find and capture the Mermaid.

After Lie Chao organized her thoughts, her gaze turned to Su Xiao and asked: "When did you and Kingsley start planning these things? Aren't you enemies? And, how did you... do it."

Lie Chao was very shocked in her heart. Although she was strong, she had always lived in the Heavenly Palace, where the strong were respected and there were conflicts, so they would just fight. She had never calculated so much.

Su Xiao knew that Lie Chao had no schemes from the straightforward plan she made when she calculated Su Xiao in the Heavenly Palace back then. At that time, he was clashing with all kinds of old schemers, and suddenly encountering such a straightforward and fresh enemy as Lie Chao, he was a bit unaccustomed.

"It's not difficult to do these things, just like you are trying to absorb the source in your heart, and failed? That's a matter of course. The power of your Tianba race comes from this 'source,' and you want to break free from the shackles of the summoning contract and return to the God-Source Township, right."

Su Xiao looked at Lie Chao with a smile on his face.

Lie Chao instinctively took a few steps back. She was considering whether she had already been calculated.

"Rest assured, I won't calculate you."

"Why."

Lie Chao was even more vigilant.

"With your straightforwardness, it's not worth me wasting brain cells. Would you scheme against a child?"

"You!"

Lie Chao was extremely angry in her heart and wanted to refute a few words, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of how to refute.

Su Xiao stopped paying attention to Lie Chao. He estimated that by tonight at the latest, the partners of the protagonist team would be recruited. Among those partners, some were chosen by Kingsley, and some were chosen by his side. When the protagonist team gathered, the Thorn Flower Press bombing case would be investigated, and the protagonist team would go to sea.

The outcome of this round depended on who, Su Xiao or Kingsley, could win the Mermaid after the protagonist team succeeded. That would be the winner of this round.

With a swish, a slash mark passed in front of Su Xiao. He was exercising his Blade Domain. A wooden block the size of a fist floated in front. It could be vaguely seen that this small wood carving had some resemblance to Xiang Bubu Wang, but it still needed fine carving.

Just wait for now, wait for the protagonist team to act as the vanguard.

Outskirts of York City, inside a wide valley.

Boom!

A roaring sound exploded, and gravel splashed more than ten meters high. A giant beast covered in keratin flew out. This giant beast was an eighth-tier wild small boss, the favorite enemy of contractors.

The giant beast's mouth was bleeding, and the keratin all over its body was shattered in large areas. It was already dying. What was even more surprising was that this originally cruel and violent giant beast actually had tears flowing from its eyes. It had wisdom and felt great humiliation at this moment.

Inside the smoke and dust, three sturdy figures walked out, each holding a long-handled energy hammer with golden light flickering on it.

"Finished the job."

"Invincible!"

"Oh yeah."

The three brothers of the National Football Team had just finished a battle. When these three brothers were at the fifth tier, they were stimulated by Su Xiao's speed of becoming stronger, and they started purchasing keys to enter various worlds.

While others experienced the time of one world progress, they experienced at least 3 worlds. They hadn't returned to the real world for a long time, and their stay in the Reincarnation Paradise was also compressed as much as possible, in order to free up more time to enter the dangerous quest worlds.

If it were other contractors, they would have had mental problems long ago. The three brothers of the National Football Team were different. They were born optimistic. The philosophy of the three brothers of the National Football Team was that they could be called clowns, but not salted fish.

Looking at the dying eighth-tier wild small boss lying on the ground, the eldest brother of the National Football Team was full of a sense of achievement. How much hardship they had endured to get to where they were today was unknown to outsiders. How touching this was.

"Third brother, are you touched?"

"Ah?"

The third brother couldn't understand and looked at his eldest brother in confusion. The touched eldest brother of the National Football Team told the third brother about the hardships along the way, saying it until he himself was teary-eyed. The third brother scratched his head, indicating he felt nothing. This was also his experience.

Before long, the third brother of the National Football Team was also "teary-eyed," "moved."

What the eldest brother of the National Football Team did just now could be simply described as: very touched, I cried, brother didn't cry, punched him, brother cried.

"Eldest brother, it also cried. It was also touched by you."

The third brother of the National Football Team pointed to the tears shed by the giant beast.

"Nonsense, if it were me, I would cry too. You swung a dozen hammers at its 'clone.' Any male would not be able to stand it."

The eldest brother of the National Football Team slapped the third brother on the back of the head, and the third brother of the National Football Team laughed foolishly.

"Three, you have worked hard."

A man with gray-black skin all over his body, whose body looked like it was forged from metal, stood above the valley, looking down at the three brothers of the National Football Team. The purpose of his appearance was very clear: to compete for the kill reward of this eighth-tier small boss.

"Turtle grandson, dare to come down for a fight?"

The second brother of the National Football Team gave the Tyrant the middle finger, deeply grasping the essence taught by Baha.

"Heh."

The Tyrant jumped down from the valley. As a high-tier eighth-tier tank, although the Tyrant had been educated by the Heretic Execution Team before, he was not afraid at all when facing eighth-tier contractors. He had a kind of counter-damage ability. Although for boss-level units, the feedback of ignoring defense damage didn't count for much, for fighting contractors, this counter-damage effect was another concept.

With a bang, the Tyrant landed. The tank's gravity domain was fully opened. The three brothers of the National Football Team all felt their shoulders sink, and the ground beneath their feet cracked in large areas.

Just at this critical moment, the second brother of the National Football Team suddenly struck a flamboyant pose. He placed his hands in front of his chest, and based on his bare left chest, he made a double-hand heart shape.

"?"

The Tyrant felt a chill in his chrysanthemum for no reason. Suddenly, he felt his heart being grabbed by a hand and squeezed hard.

The Tyrant's brain buzzed, and he fell into a forced stun state. He didn't know yet that the battle was already over. The three brothers of the National Football Team had a very strong ability to confront contractors. If there was only one enemy, these three brothers were almost unsolvable existences, unless the enemy could exempt the forced stun effect of physical characteristics.

What are the three brothers of the National Football Team? The answer is: can fight, can resist, can heal each other, can control, run fast, have life link, and the equipment is especially top-notch.

"80!"

The eldest brother of the National Football Team roared, and the long-handled energy hammer in his hand carried a whimpering wind-breaking sound, banging on the Tyrant's forehead, renewing the Tyrant's stun effect for 1.2 seconds.

The second brother of the National Football Team also stepped forward. After lowering the long-handled energy hammer, he swung horizontally and hit the Tyrant's leg. The Tyrant's body was unstable and fell to the ground. He didn't know yet that his nightmare was about to begin.

"Go!"

The eldest brother of the National Football Team gave a sharp shout. They saw the three brothers complete their positioning in a very short time, surrounding the Tyrant in a triangle.

The three brothers of the National Football Team holding long-handled energy hammers all had smiles on their faces at this moment. They swung their long-handled energy hammers and started to hammer the Tyrant randomly. The attack speed was extremely fast, and the energy hammers swung out traces of afterimages. The speed of the three brothers' hammer swinging was a bit ghost-like.

"80, 80!"

"Ora! Ora! Ora..."

"Muda! Muda! Muda..."

"Heavenly Dragon Soaring Kick."

"Egg-shattering Strike."

In the storm-like attack, the Tyrant's body had long instinctively curled up, hands covering his head. He couldn't move now, and his brain was buzzing. He just wanted to know now what kind of three things he had encountered.

Above the valley, a little nurse wearing a gold-white long dress shrank her head. After witnessing the battle below, she didn't dare to use her healing ability at all. She was terrified now.
