Chapter 3103

~13 min read 2,459 words

Inside the top cabin of the steel warship, the area here was about dozens of square meters. It wasn't large overall, but the simple yet not simple furnishings made it appear spacious and bright.

The solid wood furniture was antique, and the ice cubes in the liquor cabinet were replaced every few hours in the adjacent cabin, which not only kept the low temperature in the liquor cabinet but also didn't disturb the rest of the people in the top cabin. Even an iron-blooded officer like Major Gewei was so extravagant; the overall atmosphere of the Southern Alliance could be imagined.

In Major Gewei's own words, this was already considered frugal; the high-level officials and councilors of the Alliance were the ones who were truly extravagant.

Counting the time, after the steel warship left the offshore of the unknown continent, it had been sailing according to the scheduled route for two days. During these two days, Su Xiao had been recuperating in the top cabin. This time, he had been struck not lightly by the golden lightning. Although the lightning caused injuries, even after drinking recovery potions, the recovery speed of the injuries was still very slow.

Su Xiao got up from the bed. Sleeping for these two days made him a bit dizzy. The injuries were no longer a major problem. Because he had been struck too hard by the golden lightning, his lightning attribute resistance had permanently increased by 11 points.

Su Xiao opened his data list. When checking his real stamina attribute, he queried his own resistance in terms of lightning through his permissions.

At present, his lightning resistance was 92 points. This was the result of accumulation. He estimated that if he really wanted to manage that kind of lightning, his own lightning attribute resistance would at least need to reach above 150 points.

Su Xiao had never thought about absorbing golden lightning through himself; that was simply impossible. Golden lightning was clearly one of the exclusive abilities of the genuine Son of the World.

Through the battle with Kingsley, Su Xiao confirmed that Kingsley also couldn't contain that kind of golden lightning through his body; the opponent was borrowing it.

Being able to reach the level of borrowing was already enough for Su Xiao. First, he wouldn't invest resources in golden lightning; he was more inclined to develop sword technique moves in this aspect.

To manage golden lightning to a certain extent without investing resources, one must have extremely high lightning resistance. There is an essential difference between mastering it oneself and borrowing it.

If one masters it oneself, it is easier to use. The disadvantage is that the strength of the golden lightning in the body depends entirely on how many resources are invested.

Borrowing is different. As long as it is a native world where a Son of the World might appear, there is natural golden lightning. The strength of this golden lightning is determined according to the tier of the world, which is determined by the strength of the transcendent characteristics of the native world.

For example, the golden lightning in an eighth-tier world is almost the strongest lightning of the eighth tier.

The resources required to borrow the golden lightning within various native worlds are not high. The main thing is to improve one's own lightning resistance, so as not to be paralyzed before hurting the enemy when receiving the golden lightning striking down from the sky.

Besides his own lightning resistance, there is also the secret method of attracting lightning. Kingsley has this secret method.

The main reason Su Xiao wants to manage golden lightning is that he wants to develop Heaven's Wrath: Thunder Fall. After defeating the Nameless Captain, he obtained the scroll for this ability.

This is not a skill scroll, but a consumable scroll. Su Xiao used Heaven's Wrath: Thunder Fall once based on this scroll, striking the Feather God to serious injury, and the opponent was also paralyzed by the lightning for nearly 1.9 seconds.

Being able to paralyze the Feather God for 1.9 seconds, the power of Heaven's Wrath: Thunder Fall can be imagined. It doesn't matter that this sword technique move is gorgeous to the point of exploding; the main thing is that it is strong. Su Xiao is an absolute pragmatist. In his view, even if it is gorgeous to the point of breaking through the sky, if its practical combat effectiveness is not strong, it is also a trash ability.

Water droplets condensed on the cup wall. Su Xiao drank the iced drink in the cup in one gulp. The heat of midsummer and the dizziness in his brain were swept away. Whether he could get the secret method of attracting lightning from Kingsley, Su Xiao couldn't be sure, but human effort can achieve anything.

Su Xiao calculated all his gains on the unknown continent. The total World Source obtained was 5.19%. This amount of World Source acquisition verified a problem again: the World Source of this world was very difficult to obtain.

Su Xiao's existing World Source was 19.7%. Calculated according to the time of entering this world, this amount of World Source acquisition could not be compared with the past at all.

After entering this fully open native world, the Void Tree opened the World Source leaderboard. Ranking in the top 1 to 50 could all obtain rewards. The reward for the first place was 【Tree Bud】, which was a good thing that could open the seventh floor of the Land of All Living Things.

The reward for the second place was 【Dragon Pressure】, the reward for the third place was 30 Soul Crystals, and the 4th to 50th places were World Sources of varying quantities.

Su Xiao glanced at his current World Source and felt that if he didn't do something, it would be impossible to take the first place. Alec, Tyrant, Black Rose, the Guozu brothers, Guangmu, and others were all in this world, and the competition was fierce.

Su Xiao opened the World Source leaderboard, and a long list was presented in front of him.

【World Source ranking has been refreshed, and the current ranking is as follows.】

First place: Xianji (Holy Light Paradise), 27.5% World Source.

Second place: Bai Ye (Reincarnation Paradise), 19.7% World Source.

Third place: Alec (Death Paradise), 11.32% World Source.

Fourth place: Black Rose (Reincarnation Paradise), 8.2% World Source.

Fifth place: Guozu brothers (Reincarnation Paradise), 8.13% World Source.

Sixth place: Guangmu (Holy Light Paradise), 6.4% World Source.

Seventh place: Tyrant (Apocalypse Paradise), 5.2% World Source.

【Announcement (Void Tree): When a contractor in this world obtains more than 85% of the World Source, this world will enter Hunting Ground Mode.】

【Hunting Ground Mode: After killing a contractor, there will be a 100% drop of a Scarlet Card. This Scarlet Card cannot be opened and can be used to exchange for World Source. The exchange amount is one-fifth of the World Source obtained by the killed person during their lifetime.】

【Announcement (Void Tree): This type of Scarlet Card cannot be brought out of this world and can only be used within this world.】

Seeing these announcements, Su Xiao's expression didn't change. The World Source of this world was very difficult to obtain, but Xianji, who was in first place, had already obtained 27% of the World Source. According to the opponent's acquisition speed, by the later stage of this world, Hunting Ground Mode would really be opened.

The so-called Hunting Ground Mode was not to trap all contractors in this world in one area. The overall situation wouldn't change; it was just an additional killing rule bestowed by the Void Tree.

Su Xiao had heard the name Xianji. In the previous few world progresses, he had obtained quite a bit of fragmented intelligence. There were violators who wanted to cause trouble in the Tree-Born World, and among those violators, Xianji, the Gray Gentleman, and the Priest were the leaders.

Meeting Xianji this time was an opportunity. If he could kill Xianji in this world, the pressure Su Xiao would face when he reached the Tree-Born World would be greatly reduced.

Xianji was different from the Gray Gentleman and the Priest. The Gray Gentleman and the Priest had accumulated for a long time in the seventh tier and were now soaring into the sky, and their foundation was terrifying. Xianji, on the other hand, had been promoted to the eighth tier for a long time and was the top-tier combat power of the eighth tier.

With Su Xiao's current strength, in a one-on-one fight, there was a 90% probability of defeat, and the possibility of dying in battle was also very high.

Su Xiao's philosophy was: never waste time taking detours if you can win, and if you can't win, use human-sea tactics.

For example, when dealing with Feishi, Su Xiao definitely couldn't beat Feishi, so he led hundreds of thousands of wolf cavalry to besiege Feishi.

Xianji was very difficult to deal with. Even if Su Xiao was now the Legion Commander of the Institution, whether he could deal with the opponent was an unknown. If Xianji stayed in the Eastern Alliance, Su Xiao couldn't send Institution people to besiege Xianji; that would cause contradictions between the Eastern Alliance and the containment agency.

At present, the relationship between the Eastern Alliance and the containment agency was close. As long as a large number of transcendents were not sent there, there would be no problem.

Thinking of these, Su Xiao opened the world communication platform and spoke.

Bai Ye (Reincarnation Paradise): "Xianji, did the Gray Gentleman entrust you to kill me?"

Bee Girl (Apocalypse Paradise): "Seems like something is about to happen? Prepare to watch the show."

Guozu Boss (Reincarnation Paradise): "Strongly support Brother Bai Ye."

Enzo (Death Paradise): "Watching the show +1."

Black Rose (Reincarnation Paradise): "Eating melon."

【Remaining free speaking times today: 1 time.】

Xianji (Holy Light Paradise): "Not at all. The Gray Gentleman is not qualified to order me. Even if he had an entrustment, I wouldn't accept it."

Bai Ye (Reincarnation Paradise): "Did you all determine that I would go to the Tree-Born World?"

Xianji (Holy Light Paradise): "I am different from those two cunning guys. Actually, there is no hatred between you and me. People with normal brains don't want to have an extra enemy for no reason. I can only say that our stances are different. There is one more point: you are a Hunter, and I am a Violator."

Bai Ye (Reincarnation Paradise): "Hmm, stances are different."

Xianji (Holy Light Paradise): "See you in the Tree-Born World. I do want to see how strong the Law-Exterminator is."

Bai Ye (Reincarnation Paradise): "I am a person who will take very extreme actions when encountering danger."

Guangmu (Holy Light Paradise): "Kukulin Bai Ye, who doesn't have much courage?"

Tyrant (Apocalypse Paradise): "1v1 with an Ancient God, and you say he doesn't have much courage?"

Guozu Boss (Reincarnation Paradise): "Full face of question marks."

Guozu Second (Reincarnation Paradise): "Full face of confusion."

Guozu Third (Reincarnation Paradise): "Stunned."

Black Rose (Reincarnation Paradise): "I have never seen such a shameless person!"

Closing the world communication platform, Su Xiao understood the current situation. He and Xianji were in a hostile competitive relationship. The other side also wanted to obtain 【Tree Bud】, plus the opponent was cooperating with the Gray Gentleman and the Priest, so hostility was destined.

Su Xiao took out the communicator from the storage space and contacted someone in Youke City. Because the distance was too far, the signal was very poor.

In the jurisdiction of the Eastern Alliance, inside a three-story mansion.

The wall was covered with splashed bloodstains. Peken Simonwei, known as the strongest transcendent of the Eastern Alliance, leaned against the wall. Fresh blood dripped down his chin. The pupils in his eyes had shattered, and both arms were broken.

Tap, tap, tap......

High heels stepped on the ground, and a figure stopped in front of Peken Simonwei. The person wore a long dress gathered from white light particles, and the hem of the dress dragged for several meters behind. On the ground it covered, semi-transparent arms protruded, and these arms held various weapons, the worst of which was above 1200 points in Immortal-grade rating.

"The strongest also dies the fastest."

Xianji looked down at Peken Simonwei. Peken Simonwei lifted his head with difficulty, and those shattered pupils were trembling.

"Spare... my life, I am willing to... follow you......"

Bang.

Peken Simonwei's head exploded. When the fresh blood splashed in front of Xianji, it was blocked by a layer of light particles and rapidly annihilated.

Xianji looked out the window. She was hesitating whether to rush to the Southern Continent to solve a certain hidden danger. She had heard the Gray Gentleman and the Priest mention that person.

Xianji had a concern in her heart, which was that Hunter named Bai Ye. With the strength of having just been promoted to the seventh tier, he had eliminated Feishi. In Xianji's view, although Feishi was not strong, he had few rivals within the seventh tier. The title of the strongest seventh-tier violator was not bragged about.

Just as Xianji was considering whether to go to the Southern Continent to find Su Xiao and kill him by secret means, she suddenly received a prompt from the Void Tree.

【Hint (Void Tree): You have been fully wanted by the Southern Alliance. Your Southern Alliance reputation has been changed to: Mortal Enemy.】

【You have been fully wanted by the Eastern Alliance. Your Eastern Alliance reputation has been changed to: Mortal Enemy.】

【You have been fully wanted by the containment agency. Your containment agency reputation has been changed to: Blood Feud!】

【Because you are a mortal enemy with the Southern Alliance and the Eastern Alliance, you have a default hostile relationship with the Eclipse organization.】

【You have become hostile to all four major forces in this world.】

【You will be forced to wear the temporary title: Public Enemy of All (Debuff title, cannot be removed before leaving this world, this title will disappear after leaving this world).】

【Public Enemy of All title effect: When you interact with the intelligent beings of this world, the default favorability is -30 points. You will be unable to trade with more than 98.7% of merchants. You will be unable to use all public facilities within the Southern Alliance and Eastern Alliance for free......】

Seeing these prompts, Xianji's aura began to become dangerous. She opened the communication platform to speak.

Xianji (Public Enemy of All): "Is this the 'little gift' you sent me?"

【Hint: This unit is a Public Enemy of All. Within this world, please do not attempt to form a team with them or trade with them.】
