How did you get here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Hu’s face lost its earlier excitement; his eyes locked onto Su Xiao as his Kakuja rapidly formed, wrapping one arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Hu’s Kakuja was a Rinhe, located near the kidneys; Rinhe ghouls possess extreme regenerative power, with high attack but weak defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are four types of Kakuja: Yuhe, Rinhe, Jiahe, and Weihe—each has its own strengths and weaknesses, with no fixed form, shaped by the ghoul’s imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Bi Hu’s Kakuja took shape according to his imagination and combat habits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who am I? Hmm~ You can call me Baiye. Your Kakuja is good—I’m taking it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao activated the Shadow of Annihilation and opened [Qing Gang Ying] for the first time; his mana instantly dropped by 2 points, and now decreases at 2 points per minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After opening [Qing Gang Ying], he felt a certain energy within him activate—that was his mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mana circulated through his body, undergoing a strange transformation into a new form of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This energy first traveled through his arm, then spread to [Zhan Long Shan], which suddenly wrapped in a layer of blue light; if observed closely, faint blue-white electric arcs flickered across its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not lightning, but a new energy formed after mana underwent a specific conversion—this was the core of [Qing Gang Ying].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Qing Gang Ying] is an active status skill; once activated, it consumes 2 mana points per minute—seems little, but if he fought continuously for an hour, he’d expend 120 mana points; he currently had 153 mana, sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantage of ample mana became clear, granting him prolonged combat capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After activating [Qing Gang Ying], each of Su Xiao’s attacks burned 10 mana points from his enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems insignificant, but if struck multiple times, the accumulated mana loss could be fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagine Su Xiao and his enemy locked in fierce combat, preparing to unleash their ultimate moves—only for the enemy to suddenly realize he has no mana left. How utterly hopeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, [Qing Gang Ying] doesn’t just drain mana—it also inflicts equal true damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao once asked the Cycle Paradise: what is true damage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cycle Paradise replied: damage that ignores all defenses; no matter how strong the enemy’s defense, he will still be wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao rolled his shoulders and stripped off his shirt, bare-chested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a habit in battle: removing his upper clothing—it made his perception sharper, perhaps an illusion, but it was his habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>13 Strength, 13 Agility, 12 Intelligence—Su Xiao wanted to test what kind of combat power these stats granted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t assume Intelligence is useless in close combat; increasing Intelligence boosts not only spell damage and mana, but also perception, greatly aiding melee combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s test you—you look tough and thick-skinned; you probably won’t break easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stomped the ground and sprinted toward Bi Hu; his 13 Agility made him faster than everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Hu only saw a blur—Su Xiao’s face was already before him, and a long blade radiating azure light slashed toward his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s strike was exquisitely precise; Geng Silang’s teachings had greatly refined his sword technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With both hands gripping the blade, Su Xiao’s strike was about to sever Bi Hu’s neck; though ghouls regenerate fiercely, decapitation still kills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this critical moment, Bi Hu roared—there was no time to block with his arm, but his Kakuja was close to his neck; it instantly wrapped around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Slish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of blade piercing flesh echoed, yet no blood appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s blade struck Bi Hu’s Kakuja; Rinhe isn’t known for defense, and Su Xiao immediately severed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath his mask, Bi Hu’s face twisted—what kind of cutting force was this? If he wasn’t mistaken, the opponent wielded only an ordinary weapon, not a Kurenai forged from Kakuja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flee—he must flee immediately. This human was too strong; even an SS-class ghoul would be cut into scraps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Bi Hu prepared to retreat, he felt searing pain from the wound on his Kakuja—then, some energy within him burned: his Rc cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his Rc cells burned, Bi Hu experienced a pain unlike anything he’d ever felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his endurance, he couldn’t suppress a scream—the true damage from mana burn had taken effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s [Qing Gang Ying] literally means burning the enemy’s mana—but what if the enemy is a ghoul with no mana?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer: burn other energies. [Qing Gang Ying]’s principle is that Su Xiao’s mana is consumed to form a special energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This special energy attaches to his weapon; upon close-range attack, it invades the enemy’s body and triggers a devouring reaction with the enemy’s internal energy, achieving the effect of mana burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the enemy has no mana, the special energy instead targets other energies—such as Rc cells, chakra, nen, or reiatsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to mana, [Qing Gang Ying]’s devouring rate against other energies is lower—dropping from 10 points to roughly 7–9 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation of internal energy burning is unbearable; compared to the true damage, the agony disrupts combat far more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Qing Gang Ying]’s skill description: Upon activation, each close-range attack drains 10 mana from the enemy and inflicts equal true damage; the enemy suffers intense pain from mana burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao had previously ignored “causes intense pain,” but now, seeing Bi Hu’s expression, he understood—this agony was unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bi Hu screamed, Su Xiao’s second strike arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade sliced through air, emitting a terrifying whine, cleaving a shockwave through the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Slish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One arm and half an ear flew into the air—Su Xiao’s second strike also targeted Bi Hu’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bi Hu sacrificed one arm to block [Zhan Long Shan] for an instant, then jerked his head sideways, narrowly avoiding decapitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only two strikes—Bi Hu was half-dead: his Kakuja severed, his arm lying on the ground, combat power reduced by at least fifty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After witnessing this, Lishi the beauty felt her scalp prickle; internally, she moaned: are all humans in District 20 this strong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without using Kurenai, he’d just torn apart a ghoul—no, this wasn’t combat; it was one-sided slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lishi’s first thought was to flee—but a pair of sharp eyes had already coldly fixed on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are you going, Jin Dai Lishi?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1128,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","22c5339e925beded1264f3d901ed8d614eecfd21da8f3689c6d0a1292be63294","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-36","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-34",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
