Chapter 3168

The 【Source】 floated in mid-air. Su Xiao grabbed it in his hand. Judging from Hunting Tide's unwilling shout, if she were summoned again in the future, she would need to be re-disciplined... cough, she would need to be re-settled. Only after she was settled honestly could she be allowed to assist in battle.

In Baha's words, Hunting Tide's archery ability was indeed top-notch, and her strength and appearance were impeccable, but she was just too straightforward. It felt like Hunting Tide's strength and appearance were exchanged for her intelligence. It could only be said that God is sometimes truly fair.

Su Xiao sat on a stone pier in the darkness, waiting for the transmission of Samsara Paradise. As for Kingsley, everyone had their own choices. Although he had cooperated with him, he wouldn't point fingers and tell him how wonderful it was to enter Samsara Paradise and how many opportunities he could obtain. Everyone had different positions and pursuits. If you are not a fish, how do you know the joy of a fish?

Thinking of this aspect, Su Xiao thought of Dangerous Object S-001 (World's Listening). According to the summary of information he already knew, he already knew the source of this danger.

First of all, it was a dangerous object. The source of this thing was because of Abyss Power, or rather, it was Abyss Power that had been twisted and changed.

Once such a situation occurred, everyone in Kedu would have to die; there would be no way to escape. When the Death Domain expanded to a certain range, the increase caused by the death of civilians would actually be more terrifying because of the sheer number of civilians.

Among all dangerous objects, the most special one was S-001 (World's Listening). This thing was originally the World Core of this world, and it formed a dangerous object after being eroded by the twisted Abyss Power.

It was precisely because of this that S-001 had the ability to predict the future of this world. It was originally the core of this world, so it was not worth being surprised that it could do these things.

In reality, the civilians there had died to the last person because of the Death Grail. The Institution had subsequently blown up the nearby volcano and covered up the incident with the Alliance to avoid causing widespread panic.

【You obtained mission reward: Scroll Fragment.】

【You are about to return to Samsara Paradise.】

【Prompt: It is detected that the Hunter is participating in the World's Source Ranking. This ranking has not yet been finalized.】

【The Hunter will be transmitted to the waiting area to wait for the final ranking settlement of this World's Source Ranking.】

【Warning: After arriving at the waiting area, the Hunter must not attempt to leave the designated range in any way.】

【Transmission starts.】

Su Xiao's eyes went dark. When he came to his senses, he was already in a modern, luxurious living room. He could be sure that this was no longer the Alliance world.

The doors and windows here were sealed by a layer of mist. The area of the living room was about eighty square meters, connected to three bedrooms.

It would take about 43 more hours for the World's Source Ranking to be settled. The good news was that Xianji had already left the Alliance world. The stay time of rule-breakers in mission worlds was also limited. The price to pay to extend the stay time was extremely high, unlike contractors who could extend the stay time as long as they triggered hidden missions, achievement missions, etc.

After Su Xiao took out Checking Zhan Long Shan from the storage space, he took out another long blade. This was a blade belonging to a certain Law-Breaker, a Blade of Law-Breaking.

What Su Xiao had to do was let Checking Zhan Long Shan "eat" this Blade of Law-Breaking and see what kind of improvement it could bring to Checking Zhan Long Shan. He hadn't done this before because there wasn't enough time. After Checking Zhan Long Shan devoured this Blade of Law-Breaking, it would enter an 8–9 day improvement period. During this period, if he used Checking Zhan Long Shan to fight, there was a high probability that Checking Zhan Long Shan would be permanently damaged.

The Supreme Blade ability was activated. Iron-black dark light appeared in Su Xiao's hand. This dark light was like iron sand, engulfing the Blade of Law-Breaking on the coffee table. Accompanied by a crisp clicking sound, this Blade of Law-Breaking was gradually ground to pieces, and a wisp of light blue crystal fragments floated out and merged into Checking Zhan Long Shan.

After activating the Supreme Blade for nearly two hours, Su Xiao completely ground the Blade of Law-Breaking on the coffee table, letting Checking Zhan Long Shan absorb all the blue crystal fragments. He sheathed Checking Zhan Long Shan and put it away, then just waited.

Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the sofa meditating. A furry thing crawled into his clothes and poked its head out from his collar. It was Beni.

"Meow."

For some reason, Beni's eyes were filled with tears, as if it had suffered a great grievance before. When asked if it had been beaten by anyone, it wouldn't say anything no matter what.

When Su Xiao finished his daily meditation, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was lying on the ground, got up, and Baha on the side also got into the spirit.

"Boss, we urgently need a mid-laner. It's too boring waiting here. Let's play a few rounds."

Baha handed over a mobile phone very enthusiastically. Originally, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Beni were the four playing together, but I don't know why, as they played, Beni and Xiang Bubu started fighting. Beni said Xiang Bubu was a pit, and Xiang Bubu said Beni was a coward. Playing as a support, she turned into a "tower child" as soon as the game started. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was the ADC, was so angry he went into shock.

With nothing to do, Su Xiao took the mobile phone handed over by Baha and started a game. Su Xiao's squad was just a five-man team: Su Xiao (mid-laner, killed through), Baha (jungler, only knows how to jungle, he really only hits jungle monsters), Amu (top-laner, stable as a rock, only has eyes for the tower), Beni (support, coward), Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang (ADC, both a pit and reckless, often dies in team fights for unknown reasons).

Unknowingly, time passed quickly, and it was time for the World's Source Ranking settlement.

【Announcement (Tree of the Void): More than 90% of contractors have left the Alliance Star. The World's Source Ranking is about to be settled. The current rankings are as follows:】

First place: Bai Ye (Samsara Paradise), 106.76% World's Source, obtained 【Tree Bud】.

Su Xiao was very interested in the semi-fluid smeared on this person's body; this thing could actually isolate the influence of the Death Domain, which had great research value.

Third place: Enzo (Death Paradise): 60.55% World's Source, obtained 【Gorgeous Soul Box】.

Fourth place: Alec (Death Paradise), 52.3% World's Source, obtained...

Fifth place: National Football Three Brothers (Samsara Paradise), 44.7% World's Source (contract number compatible state), obtained...

Sixth place: Black Rose (Samsara Paradise), 38.5% World's Source, obtained...

Seventh place: Guang Mu (Holy Light Paradise), 29.77% World's Source, obtained...

Whether saving the person or taking the Death Grail away, there were risks. Destroying the Death Grail now was the best choice. Although the Death Grail would appear somewhere else not long after being destroyed, that was not important.

With a snap, the Death Grail was pierced by Fangzhu, and the surrounding Death Domain disappeared in an instant. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Xiao controlled Fangzhu to fly back.

The bottom of the Death Grail was stabbed with a hole. After a few seconds of silence, a dent appeared on the cup wall of the Death Grail.

Dong~

Su Xiao's heart beat heavily, which made him narrow his eyes and press one hand on the hilt of his blade. This time... he had been calculated.

He saw that as if suction had appeared within the Death Grail, the entire cup was sucked into a ball.

【Prompt: You have participated in the handling of the dangerous object S-002 (Death Grail).】

【The leader of this event is: Violator, Gray Gentleman.】

【Because you are in a specially designated area and have participated in the handling of the dangerous object S-002 (Death Grail), you have implicitly formed a temporary squad with the Gray Gentleman. This squad has been notarized by the Tree of the Void.】

【The members of this squad are: Gray Gentleman, Bai Ye.】

【You will bear the soul backlash of destroying the Death Grail.】

【Gray Gentleman will bear the mental backlash of destroying the Death Grail.】

【In this judgment, if one party fails, they will die immediately, and it will cause the other party's stamina, soul strength, and willpower attributes to permanently decrease by 20%.】

【You have undergone the soul judgment.】

【Your soul strength is 500 points.】

【You have passed the soul judgment!】

【Gray Gentleman has undergone the willpower judgment.】

【Gray Gentleman's true willpower attribute is 310 points.】

【Gray Gentleman has passed the willpower judgment!】

A series of judgments appeared. Inside the gallery, the man sitting on the iron chair straightened up and opened his eyes. The anesthetic, which was enough to anesthetize large transcendent creatures, had no effect on him.

"Long time no see, Bai Ye."

The man on the iron chair smiled. He raised his right hand, which was fixed to the chair's armrest, pulling until the flesh and skin detached. He used his hand, now reduced to bone, to grasp the metal wire at the back of his head and pulled hard.

Ding~

A crisp sound of a pin being pulled came.

Puchi, puchi, puchi...

Blades retracted into the metal hood, piercing the man's skull. With blood gushing from his eye sockets, he stared at Su Xiao, his face still maintaining a smile. The next instant, Fangzhu pierced his skull.

Su Xiao had already guessed what was going on. This matter had been set up by the Gray Gentleman. At first glance, this was an ambush to keep him here forever, but in reality, it hid mysteries.

The steps of this plan were few, but the simpler the plan, the harder it was to guard against, just as the simpler a machine's construction, the less likely it was to break.

【Prompt: Your squad has completed the soul and willpower judgments. This is a special event notarized by the Tree of the Void, and the rewards are also issued by the Tree of the Void.】

【You have passed the soul judgment, and you have obtained the following rewards.】
