Chapter 3818: Profession

【Duel arena equipment selection completed. Your consciousness is synchronizing with the duel body...】

A sense of blurriness appeared. Su Xiao felt that everything before his eyes was like being separated by a layer of frosted glass, but as his senses recovered, the scene before him quickly became clear.

The culture tank opened, and the inert solution was drained. Su Xiao took a deep breath. Initially, his lungs were still somewhat unaccustomed to the stinging sensation of the air, but after a few breaths, he felt his state gradually recover.

Weakness, an unparalleled sense of weakness struck. But after careful experience, it wasn't so. Having been accustomed to his own powerful main body, it was inevitable that he would have the illusion of weakness after arriving in this duel body with only ten-something points of attributes. In fact, this body was in its peak state.

The robe gradually formed. For the notarization of the Tree of the Void, this was nothing. Su Xiao was soon wearing a white robe, with golden secret art patterns on his back. This mark represented his profession: Secret Art Hunter.

Scarlet Effect: Attack carries an erosion effect. In the subsequent 10 seconds, it causes true damage equal to 20% of the enemy's maximum HP, and the HP cap is permanently reduced by 20% (because the Scarlet effect judgment is extremely high, the Tree of the Void's resurrection mechanism will not remove this effect for free).

Detonation Method 2: When the enemy steps on this crystal trap bomb, the crystal trap bomb will detonate immediately.

After reading the skills of the Secret Art Hunter, Su Xiao frowned for a moment. This profession covered energy systems, ranged systems, summoning systems, scouting systems, and mechanism trap systems. It could be said to be a trash profession that gathered many advantages.

That's right, it was a trash profession. This profession was so trash that it couldn't even perform a set of combos. The only time it was powerful was when the enemy was reckless.

The Secret Art Hunter had no life-saving skills and no movement speed skills. It seemed that Skill 1 could kite in melee, but melee required a dash or acceleration movement skill. Rushing up and hitting twice, with Su Xiao's current fragile profession, he couldn't take a few hits before he was done.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a trash profession. This was actually caused by the 48 resurrection chances brought by the soul specialty, balanced by this.

Su Xiao looked at Skill 3, Sky-Tearing Evil Dog. If the summoned creature was a Void Evil Dog, this ability would be okay. The reason it was like this was because this was a combat-type summon, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was not good at combat. He belonged to the type that loved to eat, was greedy for play, and was afraid of ghosts. So if he summoned Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Xiang Bubu would have a hard time in this round of combat.

He activated Skill 3, and a teleportation array appeared on the black metal ground. Then, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, whose body size had shrunk a bit, appeared.

From Xiang Bubu's somewhat bewildered eyes, Su Xiao confirmed that it was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's consciousness controlling this summon body. As for Xiang Bubu's main body, it was impossible for it to enter. After all, it had advanced to the Absolute-Strong level with Su Xiao. Even if it wasn't a combat type, the various body attributes of Xiang Bubu's main body were also astonishing...

Su Xiao looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also looked at Su Xiao. After staring at each other for a few seconds, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang raised his dog head. That little look clearly meant: "Master, I don't know how to fight."

Don't forget one very key point. If Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang fought, the participants he faced, although their body attributes were not high, were all Absolute-Strong controlling these bodies. Even if the body attributes were weaker than Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's, they could beat Xiang Bubu until he doubted his dog life.

Su Xiao activated Skill 4, and then Baha appeared brilliantly. Baha didn't have any combat skills. What was even more fatal was that its HP cap was very low. If the positioning of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha were swapped, the strength of both of them would take off on the spot.

Skill 1 + Skill 2 = Ranged white-giving. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could scout, even without skill support, he could. Baha could perform mental output + taunt to pull hatred.

After weighing it this way, this Secret Art Hunter was still a trash profession that made people bewildered. One might ask, how can this trash profession be saved? The answer is to become a numerical monster.

With the bonuses from three arena equipment pieces, Su Xiao is now a stats monster. He even suspects that his ultimate, Crystal Blaze Bloom, could one-shot participants of the same rank. No, even if they were 10 levels higher, he feels he could still one-shot them, provided they step on the Crystal Blaze Bloom.

【The first round of the Golden Arena is about to begin. The content of this round is: King of Gluttony.】

【In this scenario, the degree of hunger will increase by 1000%. Once you enter the state of hunger, you will lose 2% of your maximum HP every minute until you die.】

【The condition for passing this round: Successfully kill the Gluttony Monarch and eat a piece of its flesh.】

【Duration of this round: 36 hours.】

【As an Overlord Unit, an additional condition for passing will appear, which is: need to accumulate full Golden Power.】

【Current Golden Power: 0% (killing golden units or the Gluttony Monarch can collect Golden Power).】

【Announcement: Among the 31 participants participating in this Golden Arena, there is 1 Overlord Unit and 30 Challengers. If a Challenger successfully kills the Overlord Unit, they will immediately increase by 5 levels and successfully seize the identity of the Overlord Unit.】

Seeing this last hint, various operations appeared in Su Xiao's heart. But after checking, he learned that killing participants of the same faction could not seize the Overlord identity.

A very faint sense of hunger appeared. Sensing this, Su Xiao temporarily dismissed the summons of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha. Before finding food in this scenario, it was safer to be cautious. He walked forward. After walking out of the initial location, he saw a vast grassland outside.

With a boom, the metal door behind him fell and locked. Then the entire building sank into the ground, and the surrounding green grass spread over. The initial point that had stood here just now disappeared without a trace.

Su Xiao clenched his fist with one hand and then released it. His combat skills were still there, but this body couldn't adapt. Discovering this, he began to walk forward. In the distance, a city that was about to be swallowed by nature came into view. He was sure that this was the main combat zone.

"Ya-hoo!"

The shouting came from afar. Su Xiao stared and saw a scene that was hard to forget. Those were four bald muscular men. They were currently on a very long grassy slope, which was at least a few kilometers long.

These four came from Death Paradise. Su Xiao had seen these four on the giant rock disc earlier. Initially, he thought of the National Football trio, but now, he found that these four muscular men knew how to play much better than the National Football trio.

I saw these four grabbing each other's legs, forming a wheel shape, rolling down from the high slope in the distance, and leaving a trail of blood along the way while making happy shouts.

When they arrived near Su Xiao, these four brothers suddenly separated, but the eldest still grabbed the fourth's ankle, and so on, finally using the eldest as the axis to rotate at high speed.

"Die, friend!"

With a *whoosh*, the third one released the fourth's legs, and the fourth flew out like a cannonball. That big bald head went straight for Su Xiao. With his current physique, if he were hit by this, he would basically be seriously injured.

Su Xiao lay back. As the wind pressure swept past, his body flew over him, and his body tilted back until it was flush with the ground.

When he first saw these four brothers, Su Xiao had already activated the ultimate move, Ultimate Secret Art · Crystal Blazing Bloom. This ability took 3 seconds to brew, which showed its characteristics.

At this moment, just as the fourth of the four brothers flew over him, he pressed the already brewed ultimate move toward the fourth.

Crack, crack, crack~

As the crystals spread, the fourth had already flown past with a *whoosh*.

Boom!

Su Xiao was knocked away by the third one who also flew over. His entire skeleton felt like it was about to fall apart, and the pain of severe organ damage spread.

The world before his eyes appeared with double images. Just as Su Xiao was flying backward, he was hit by a strong impact again. It was the second one who flew over, punching his side ribs, causing a large amount of blood to scatter.

With a *thud*, Su Xiao fell to the ground, and blood spread with him as the center.

Seeing this scene, the four brothers around were all stunned. The fourth frowned and asked: "Isn't this Bai Ye? His melee... what's the situation?"

"Fourth brother, be careful, this guy is a famous old schemer. I conclude that there must be a trick in this!"

The second one spoke with a flamboyant posture. From those pink tight triangular pants, one could see his style.

"Cautious."

The eldest's gaze was serious. It could be seen that he was the leader of this team. Unlike the brotherly eldest of the National Football trio, the eldest of these four brothers was a leader who really said one thing and meant another.

These four brothers: the eldest was rigorous and serious, the second was sarcastic, the third was full of muscles and just did it, and the fourth was "Wah-hah-hah-hah!"

In contrast, they didn't have the flamboyant feeling of the National Football trio, especially since the National Football trio had once worn flamboyant purple fitness triangular pants under the moon, each posing, which was simply a 'dark force.'

Earlier, the advancement speed of the National Football trio slowed down, but recently, the National Football trio entered the ultimate complete state, and their advancement speed soared. Moreover, these three brothers bought world keys frantically. While others experienced the world of one world progress, they worked overtime, experiencing three to four mission worlds.

It was precisely this ultimate complete state + this diligent advancement that it seemed it wouldn't be long before they met again. By then, the National Football trio would show their ultimate state.

"Hiss~, Bai Ye's duel body is really about to lose its breath. This..."

The second one was full of astonishment. No matter what, he didn't believe that the famous Bai Ye's duel body would be like this in melee.

"Anyway, a small victory," the eldest, although he had concerns, chose not to dwell on this matter for now, but asked: "Fourth brother, what is the transparent object covering your abdomen?"...

Because the Ultimate Secret Art · Crystal Blazing Bloom couldn't be released steadily, it now presented as a transparent, irregular flat crystal, clinging to the fourth's abdomen, with a diameter of about one meter.

"Don't know, I had it after I landed just now."

"Hmph!"

The third stepped forward, put one hand on his side waist, clenched his fist, and threw a fast and fierce heavy cannon punch.

"Don't!"

The fourth shouted in surprise and anger. If he took this punch, he felt he would be hammered until his pee sprayed out.

"Stop."

"Stop it!"

However, it was all too late. The third threw a punch.

Boom!

The crystal explosion presented as golden-red. Looking from above, it was like a golden-red crystal flower that was blooming.

When the explosion ended, the broken crystal slag flew, like embers gradually burning out in the air. Looking at the four brothers with life links, the eldest was bleeding all over, the wounds on his body were exceptionally dense, and he was trembling and barely standing there. As for the third and fourth, they were both in a dying state, lying on the ground, and both were sliding their butts in a funny way.

And the second one who killed Su Xiao and became the Overlord Unit, because he became the Overlord Unit, the damage reduction efficiency of the life link dropped sharply, causing him not to be able to resist this blow, and he died on the spot.

"Holy... crap."

Even the usually calm eldest couldn't help but burst into profanity. It wasn't his fault; the attack power of this ability was simply too perverted. One attack almost took all four of them away at the same time. This was still because the four of them had tank-type advantages, high HP and high defense from the start, and among their 20 skills, 9 were passive defense types.

The four brothers had no healing skills. They were all self-recovery skills, and the more attacks they took, the lower their HP, the faster they recovered. A moment later, the three brothers climbed up from the ground one after another.

The inert solution was drained. Su Xiao, who was in the small resurrection device, opened his eyes. As the cabin door opened, he walked out of it. The air with the smell of weathered concrete was inhaled into his nasal cavity. This place was the abandoned city of Ayewa, a waste city swallowed by hunger.

It wasn't that food was insufficient here, but the arrival of the hunger disaster caused the appetite of the creatures here to be extremely vigorous. Civilization shattered under the impact of the most primitive desires. This place had become the territory controlled by the Gluttony Monarch.

Standing by the window of the abandoned building, the glass had weathered, leaving only empty windows. Green vine plants climbed all over the outer walls, and a giant tree expanded the top of the skyscraper opposite until it was full of cracks, like a primitive and wild giant work of art.

After the battle with those four brothers, Su Xiao confirmed that his current profession is indeed mediocre, but his ultimate is very strong. Just triggering the Death effect, without any attack power bonuses, killed one and left the remaining three near death. If it were the 450% attack power increase from the Nether effect, or the 20% max health true damage from the Scarlet effect, those four brothers would have been one-shot by this single ultimate.

Su Xiao had determined his positioning this time: mechanism master. Through acting, scheming, and crystal mechanism trap bombs to kill enemies, this Ultimate Secret Art · Crystal Blazing Bloom must be fixed in place to be better detonated, otherwise the luck component was too large. Carrying it to move, it would likely not explode. This time, bombing those four guys was completely because those four were relatively unlucky...

After the train of thought was clear, Su Xiao summoned Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha. As soon as they appeared, Baha said: "Boss, let's upgrade the ultimate move this time. My skill system is considered to be lagging."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. Baha flew up with a cheap, bad smile to scout the surrounding environment. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang twitched his nose, slipped down from the 30th floor of the waste building, and after a while, Xiang Bubu found a few bright red wild fruits. Each was the size of a pumpkin, and the flesh was soft and glutinous, and the fruit fragrance was overflowing.

Su Xiao observed for a moment and shook his head: "This fruit is slightly poisonous."

"Wang!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, meaning: 'Anyway, now I'm also a waste. I'll try. If it's barely edible, there will be food.'

A moment later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang squatted behind a cement pillar, which could be described as imposing. It looked like the diarrhea was quite severe.

Half an hour later, Baha flew over with a cheap, bad smile.

"Found a food collection point?"

"That's not it, but Boss, I found that in the central area of this waste city, there is a recovery point notarized by the Tree of the Void. It is an artificial fountain in the center of the park. The life liquid circulating inside will evaporate. As long as you sit by the fountain, you can restore HP, but you cannot restore body energy."

"Is that a safe area?"

"No."

Hearing this answer, Su Xiao looked at the characteristics of the ultimate move Ultimate Secret Art · Crystal Blazing Bloom, and then looked at 【Origin Stone · World】's 15% probability of refreshing the cooldown of all skills (including ultimate skills) when using skills. Combining the two, a plan gradually improved.

At this moment, the 30 participants participating in this Golden Arena didn't know that 90% of them were about to wear pain masks.
