Chapter 3819: Unsolvable

Waste City, Central District, Abandoned Park.

Su Xiao stood on the top of an abandoned high-rise building inside the Abandoned Park. Because there was no storage space, he could only observe the situation in the distance with his eyes.

The park was overgrown with weeds and occupied by strange trees. A ten-meter-high statue of a loving saint was a landmark building. This statue was built in an artificial pond with a diameter of about 30 meters. The light green liquid in the pond was overflowing, and the water bottle slightly tilted in the hands of the loving saint statue constantly overflowed with the Fountain of Life.

The Fountain of Life had signs of slow evaporation. Fluorescent green light particles flew around this life pool. As long as you were in this place, you would restore HP at a rate of 1% per second, as well as the injuries you suffered, etc.

Logically speaking, there should be a force occupying this place. The problem was that there were only two forces in the waste city: the Gluttony Group and the Scavengers. The former had stronger combat power, but this force was all wild beasts, etc. The Scavenger Alliance was weaker. They mastered firearms. Don't underestimate firearms. Firearms were very useful here. At this time, Su Xiao's stamina attribute was only 8 points. Being shot through a vital point by a firearm meant death.

This was also the interesting part of the Golden Arena. Many participants didn't fall into the hands of other strong people, but were defeated by these gunpowder weapons that they didn't care about in the past.

More intuitively, the process from lv. 1 to lv. 50 was testing the participants' control and adaptability to power. True strong people were not strong because they had power, but because they could reach the peak of this level with the means they mastered at any stage.

This was the difference between power and wealth. Those who mastered a large amount of wealth, once they fell into poverty, might not be able to be brilliant again and would die in depression. But strong people with power, even if they lost their power, as long as there was a little opportunity, they would definitely make a comeback.

Let Baha overlook from the sky to avoid anyone approaching. Su Xiao came to the vicinity of the Fountain of Life. The fresh smell of grass and trees drifted over. After inhaling it into his chest and abdomen, he felt refreshed.

The diameter of the entire water pool was over 30 meters, so the open space around it was not small. Under such circumstances, the effect of setting up a crystal bomb was actually not great. The trap range of this thing was only one meter. Even if someone came, they might not necessarily step on it.

The good news was that he had just killed the second of the four brothers, and the ultimate move Ultimate Secret Art · Crystal Blazing Bloom carried the death characteristic, with the effect: If this attack causes the challenger to die, your level will immediately increase by lv. 2 (up to lv. 50).

Combined with Su Xiao killing other participants, he could increase his level himself. In this way, he rose a full 3 levels, and his level reached lv. 4. However, he hadn't chosen to increase his level yet.

After Su Xiao chose to increase his level, there was no vision of brilliant light. He felt a stream of energy enter his body. His various body attributes soared. Agility and Intelligence attributes both reached 26 points, and the body energy cap reached 6090 points.

Besides this, he also obtained 3 skill points. He chose to raise the level of Ultimate Secret Art · Crystal Blazing Bloom to lv. 2.

【Hint: Your duel level has increased, and you will obtain a corresponding amount of Golden Power.】

【You obtain 30% Golden Power. When Golden Power reaches 100%, you will achieve one of the passes for this round.】

Compared to this body's attributes and skill points, what Su Xiao cared about most was Golden Power. The former two would lose their meaning after this Golden Arena ended, while the latter Golden Power was his ultimate goal for coming here. This represented how many golden skill points he could obtain. Only by using golden skill points to improve his main body was this truly his own improvement that no one could take away...

As an Overlord Unit, his disadvantage was that there was no guaranteed profit for passing at the end of each round, unlike others who could increase by 5 levels as long as they passed one level, which represented 50% of Golden Power acquisition.

The advantage of being an Overlord Unit was that he had more experience killing other participants. For example, Thunder Law God Aiger killed the eldest of the four brothers, and Aiger could only rise by half a level. Conversely, Su Xiao, as an Overlord Unit, could rise by 1 level.

However, if other participants could kill Su Xiao, this would be rich. Not only would they immediately rise by 5 levels, but they would also successfully seize the identity of the Overlord Unit.

Commonly speaking, what others were playing now was a PvE game of killing monsters and leveling up. The risk of PK with each other was higher than the return. The number of times they could resurrect was too few—only once per round. Conversely, Su Xiao was a thorough PvP player and could resurrect 47 times.

Su Xiao checked the existing body energy. It had to be said that the recovery speed of body energy was quite fast. Thinking about it, the time for each round of duels was actually not long—36 hours. Some rounds had even shorter times. If the body energy recovered very slowly, he wouldn't be able to release many skills in the entire duel. Don't look at Su Xiao's 6090 points of body energy; normal duelists at level 4 only had 140-150 points of body energy.

Setting up a crystal bomb near the fountain was indeed not very clever, but what if he set up dozens, or even hundreds?

Su Xiao checked the cooldown of the ultimate move Ultimate Secret Art · Crystal Blazing Bloom. There were still 7 hours and 05 minutes left. The 8-hour cooldown of this ultimate move was truly not short.

Su Xiao looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang tilted his head in confusion. The next second, he dismissed Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang from the summon state and then summoned Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang again.

Sky-Tearing Evil Dog (Active, lv. 1): Summon your partner, the Sky-Tearing Evil Dog, to assist you in combat... (If your partner, the Sky-Tearing Evil Dog, is not dead and you dismiss it, this ability will have no cooldown...).

Origin Stone · World (Duel Arena Attribute): Body Energy +5900 points, 15.9% probability of refreshing the cooldown of all skills (including ultimate skills) when using skills.

Check the ultimate move. The 16% probability was not easy to trigger. Su Xiao dismissed + summoned Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang again. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog face was full of bewilderment.

Checking again, it still didn't refresh. This made Su Xiao's gaze condense a bit. Logically speaking, Law-Breaker luck should be his main body luck. Now that his consciousness had arrived in the duel body, could it be that Law-Breaker luck could also follow?

Dismiss, summon, dismiss, summon...

Su Xiao experimented time and time again. After five times, the ultimate move successfully refreshed. This made him confirm that Law-Breaker luck had followed, but not completely. If it were the complete Law-Breaker luck, let alone summoning Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang five times, even if he summoned Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang hundreds of times, it wouldn't necessarily refresh. So, this time, the consciousness arriving here only brought a very small amount of Law-Breaker luck.

Seeing that the combination of Origin Stone + ultimate move was really effective, Su Xiao simply let Baha return. As long as he successfully set up a crystal bomb, he wouldn't fear any enemies approaching.

Su Xiao pressed one hand on the ground, and crystals spread, like a crystal flower gradually blooming. As it bloomed, it gradually fitted the ground, accompanied by the precise sound of crystal mechanism operation. If this crystal bomb were dismantled, it would be found that this was not a large lump of crystal product, but its internal structure was exceptionally precise, with thousands of crystal-constructed parts. Semi-energy crystal quality could also replace springs and trigger devices, etc., and it was more sensitive and wouldn't be sensed....

When the setup was completed, Ultimate Secret Art · Crystal Blazing Bloom turned into a transparent + camouflage state. Let alone naked-eye observation, it was impossible to discover this thing until you stepped on it and heard a click.

Su Xiao looked at the ultimate move that had entered an 8-hour cooldown. He repeated the previous process, dismissing and then summoning Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha. This was equivalent to using the skill twice quickly, and the result was that the ultimate move was refreshed immediately.

The second crystal bomb was successfully set up. Half an hour later, a total of twelve crystal bombs were set up around the fountain. Su Xiao held a crystal blade and drew it across his chest. He leaned against the side of the water pool, the crystal weapon in his hand dissipated, and he gradually lowered his head.

Three hours later, except for a few wild beasts coming here, no participants came to the vicinity. These few wild beasts were all solved by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, which made Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang feel a bit strong inside. That little look clearly meant, who dares to fight with me?

Body energy recovered, Su Xiao set up 10 more crystal bombs. A total of 20+ crystal bombs were located around the fountain. If a duelist came here at this time, there was a not-low probability of stepping on them.

Confirming this, Su Xiao left the vicinity of the fountain and came to the top of a building near the park to observe the situation around the fountain from a distance. This style of killing enemies passively didn't fit his habits, but at this stage, it could only be like this.

Another three hours passed. Except for a wild beast, no other living beings came near this fountain. After the body energy recovered, Su Xiao set up 10 more crystal bombs near the fountain.

Sitting on the top of the waste building, the sunset dyed the horizon red. A quarter of the time for the first round of duels had passed, but Su Xiao hadn't ambushed a single enemy. If this continued, he would be eliminated.

This was the high risk of being an Overlord Unit. Compared to being killed, the loss of being eliminated was greater. Not only could he not continue to obtain golden skill points, but even the improvement of his main body in the Golden Lake would be interrupted and he would be forcibly teleported away.

"Wang."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, meaning that it could go out for a stroll and then lure enemies here.

"Boss, let me go."

Baha spoke. Its taunt ability was far stronger than Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's. After encountering enemies, it would first perform a mental attack to attract the enemies to the trap area.

Su Xiao didn't let Baha do this. The opponents this time were all Absolute-Strong. With Baha's keyboard master level, it could indeed make the enemies angry, but it was impossible to be reckless enough to chase all the time.

【Announcement: Arcane Eternal Star participant Huen has obtained the Book of Gold and obtained 500% Golden Power.】

【Because the Book of Gold has been activated, the contact channel for this round of Golden Arena has been opened (if you are in the Ghost Spectator Seat, you can view the content of this contact channel, but cannot post information).】

【Hint: The name you use in the duel arena contact channel needs to be related to yourself or the profession you obtained.】

【You have successfully formulated the contact channel name: Secret Art Master.】

Su Xiao had nothing to do, so he opened the contact channel to check.

Light Flame (Death Paradise): "This channel is not bad. Everyone, is there anyone who wants to cooperate to deal with the Gluttony Monarch? The optimal solution for this round is to destroy this boss as soon as possible. As long as its body is large enough and the edible flesh is enough, we don't need to be hostile to each other. Before the seventh round, we should cooperate even more. Don't forget, our Challenger identity represents that we are herbivores, and that Overlord Unit is a carnivore. We must be on guard against that person at all times."...

Second (Watcher Paradise): "Stop being suspicious. The Overlord Unit is Bai Ye of Reincarnation Paradise."

Rain Pheasant (Apocalypse Paradise): "This intelligence is highly credible."

Earth Titan (Apocalypse Paradise): "Pity, I don't know what Bai Ye's name is in this channel."

Shadow Qin (Death Paradise): "Is there anyone who wants to team up?"

The Most Handsome Guy (Reincarnation Paradise): "Yes, can I?"

Luoluo (Apocalypse Paradise): "This, what a strong name. How was this name achieved? I tried dozens of times, and I could only fill in my own code name or profession name. Others are not allowed."

This Master Was Here (Reincarnation Paradise): "Just fill in whatever you want, sister. You have to try boldly."

Toad Eating Swan (Reincarnation Paradise): "Just a temporary channel name, don't worry about it."

Light Flame (Death Paradise): "Wife, I have already felt the difficulty of this game."

Shadow Qin (Death Paradise): "Me too, dear."

Third (Watcher Paradise): "It's over, encountered the trio."

Earth Titan (Apocalypse Paradise): "Could it be that the brother upstairs has also been harmed by the trio?"

Third (Watcher Paradise): "More than that! Once in a world contention, we should have won, but these three *** used the notarization mechanism of the Tree of the Void to change the coordinate attributes of our World Core placement. Because of the continuous notarization of the Tree of the Void and the interference of Reincarnation Paradise, Watcher Paradise couldn't release an error warning prompt. We guarded that coordinate for 5 days! 5 days! Helped Reincarnation Paradise guard that coordinate for 5 days! Can you imagine the mood when the final result came out?"

Earth Titan (Apocalypse Paradise): "Don't say it, I can't help but laugh."

Third (Watcher Paradise): "You *** have some sympathy."

Secret Art Master (****): "Paid message released. If you need to view this message, you need to pay 0.15% Golden Power to him, 【To ensure the safety of the publisher, the faction where the publisher is located has been hidden according to the publisher's request. This paid message has been notarized, and the actual value is definitely higher than 0.15% Golden Power】."

Rainmaker (Apocalypse Paradise): "This intelligence is very valuable. Friend, want to team up?"

20 minutes later...

Rainmaker (Apocalypse Paradise): "You ***, you won't die well, burying crystal bombs to bomb me."

Eldest (Watcher Paradise): "Hahaha."

Second (Watcher Paradise): "Hahahaha."

Third (Watcher Paradise): "Hahahahaha."

Fourth (Watcher Paradise): "Wah-hah-hah-hah."

Rainmaker (Apocalypse Paradise): "Everyone, stay away from the fountain near Central Park. Crystal bombs have been set up there; you'll be instantly killed if you step on them."

Second (Watcher Paradise): "It can't be wrong. Secret Art Master is Bai Ye. His crystal bombs are simply outrageous. Everyone, don't go near the fountain in Central Park."

Su Xiao closed the contact platform. As far as he knew, there was a healer on the Apocalypse Paradise side. Having said that, the Rainmaker, who was a teammate, needed to go to the fountain to heal. The healer didn't choose a healing profession, which was normal. Su Xiao, this three-technique melee grandmaster, had started setting up mechanisms to wait for the rabbit...

The message was released, and with the help of the Rainmaker, the person involved, the effect should be quite good. Su Xiao looked at the current level, which had reached lv. 5, and experimented with the Scarlet characteristic ultimate move. The effect was outstanding. This could be seen from the Rainmaker's attitude. The other party's HP cap became 80% after resurrection, and he was quite angry.

All the challengers in the contact channel expressed that they would never go near the fountain, so as not to let Su Xiao, this Overlord Unit, develop by killing challengers. The actual situation was that the limping Law-Breaker Iron Fist Balur walked over. From his gloomy gaze and bruised face, it was clear that he had been betrayed by the Priest and the Moon Witch.

Iron Fist Balur was nearly three meters tall. Even if it was a duel body, one could still see his deterrent feeling. Balur grabbed a bag of stones and didn't take a few steps before throwing them, each time making a thud, like a shotgun being fired.

"There are crystal bombs, just exclude them. A group of idiots don't

Iron Fist Baruer stepped into a small stone pit. The next second, he heard a 'click' from under his feet. In an instant, he knew he had triggered a mechanism, and that this mechanism was an explosive. He chose to activate his melee ultimate, causing his entire body to take on the luster of tungsten steel, his defense skyrocketing.

Unfortunately, Iron Fist Baruer was indeed a bit unlucky; he had stepped on a Nether-effect crystal bomb, which had its attack power increased by 450%.

The next second, Iron Fist Baruer felt the surroundings shake. He was already standing in a pristine white room. The room's lighting was quite bright; on the inner side was a large screen, and along the walls on both sides were two rows of seats. This place was the Spectator Seat for Souls.

Iron Fist Baruer didn't react for a moment. After sitting down, he muttered, "I'm just... gone?"

Before Iron Fist Baruer could resolve his confusion, a translucent figure suddenly appeared in the seat next to him. It was the Fire-type brother from the six-man squad of Apocalypse Paradise.

"Don't tell me, you're also..."

Iron Fist Baruer's initial feelings of depression and anger suddenly improved a lot.

"I followed the route you took to approach the fountain, and then in that explosion pit, I stepped on a crystal bomb. This thing actually doesn't chain-detonate."

The Fire-type brother stroked his forehead with one hand. Having his only resurrection count for the round used up just like that—he couldn't even begin to describe how depressed he was.

Just as the Fire-type brother was feeling depressed, a figure flashed into existence right next to him. It was his teammate, the Assassin Girl Yu Zhi. She had been injured while dealing with the Golden Beast alongside the Fire-type brother, so naturally, she needed to go to the fountain to recover.

As soon as the Assassin Girl appeared, she covered her face with both hands.

"So, you're also..."

"Yes~"

"Don't tell me, you walked into the same explosion pit I left behind..."

"Yes!"

The Assassin Girl hung her head. The Fire-type brother's face twisted; he almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Suddenly, the Earth-vein hunk Titan Griz appeared right next to the Assassin Girl. As soon as he appeared, he cursed, "This bastard named Bai Ye, how did he bury four crystal bombs in a row?"

"Hahaha."

The Fire-type brother finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. They were all actually gambling; after Iron Fist Baruer stepped on a mine, the Fire-type brother thought that the explosion area must be free of crystal bombs, otherwise, they would have been detonated by the explosion...

This was being misled by conventional explosives. The Crystal Blaze Bloom crystal bomb is a mechanism-based ultimate. There are only two ways to trigger it: 1. Su Xiao detonates it, 2. Stepping on it with downward force, and it requires a sufficiently complete movement process; violent impact cannot achieve this.

The light flickered, and the Healer Luoluo appeared. The four people present all looked at her. The Fire-type brother among them asked, "Don't tell me, you're also one?"

"Also one what? You were all blown up by crystal bombs. I'm a Summoner, almost caught by Light Flame and Shadow Qin, so of course I ran toward the fountain."

Even the usually good-tempered Luoluo was a bit angry. Just then, the Rainmaker suddenly appeared next to her. The Rainmaker had already died once, which meant he couldn't be resurrected again this round and had to wait for the next match.

The Rainmaker didn't say a word. The five teammates present didn't dare ask how he had died. After a few seconds of silence, the Rainmaker sighed and said, "Those four brothers from Watcher Paradise arrived. I was no match for the four of them and lost."

Hearing this, everyone realized. Luoluo comforted him, "One against four, losing is nothing to be ashamed of."

Just then, the teleportation light flashed, and the third brother of the four appeared. As soon as he arrived, he gritted his teeth and said, "Rainmaker, your profession is ruthless."

After speaking, the third brother leaned back in his seat and let out a long sigh. The Rainmaker asked with a hint of mockery, "So, you were killed by my curse poison? Strange, is there no kill notification in the soul state?"

"When I was about to be poisoned to death, I ran at full speed toward the fountain. Then I suddenly floated up, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw you all."

The third brother shrugged; he had also been killed by a crystal bomb.

"Wait, let me sort this out. Me, you, you, you, you, and you, us."

As soon as Iron Fist Baruer said this, everyone present fell silent. This overlord unit had harvested such a wave; he must have leveled up several times.

At this moment, in the area around the fountain, various wild beasts gathered, and many arena fighters also ambushed nearby. The successive explosions that echoed through the ruined city made this place the focus. The culprit behind this was sitting on top of a building near the park, observing the situation near the fountain with a telescope made from scrap collected by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Having killed six arena fighters in succession, Su Xiao's level skyrocketed. After using his ultimate dozens of times, he had triggered three types of effects: Death, Scarlet, and Nether. Among them, the Death effect was the most frequent—it was almost a guaranteed probability—while Scarlet had about a 15% trigger rate. As for the most powerful Nether, he had only managed to create one so far.

He had triggered an ultimate with two effects simultaneously once, but he hadn't been lucky enough to have all three effects applied at once yet.

The high-frequency trigger of the Death effect caused Su Xiao's level to soar. By blowing up 6 arena fighters, he leveled up 14 times, which brought his level to lv. 19. He now had 15 skill points, and his body energy had reached a staggering 10,000+ points.

Leveling up so smoothly was largely thanks to the six-man squad from Apocalypse Paradise. They had likely defeated a hidden boss, and while the harvest was extremely rich, everyone was injured. They could only try to approach the fountain, or be wiped out by wild beasts drawn by the smell of blood from their spreading wounds...

Su Xiao was very clear about the shortcomings of his ultimate; he had to wait for rabbits to run into the trap. If he had been given even a not-so-terrible profession, with his three pieces of arena equipment, he would already be slaughtering everyone. But right now, the only way to solve the current predicament was to continue upgrading his ultimate; it was the only choice.

The ultimate had a maximum level of 10. When upgraded to level 5 and level 10, there were optional bonuses. He had seen this information when he first mastered the ultimate. With a total of 15 skill points, he could upgrade the ultimate 5 times in a row, so he chose to upgrade continuously.

【Your Crystal Blaze Bloom ability has been upgraded to lv. 7.】

【Because this is an ultimate ability, when it reaches lv. 5 and lv. 10, you can choose one bonus and one characteristic transformation (lv. 5 is a bonus, lv. 10 is a characteristic transformation).】

【You can choose one of the following bonuses.】

1. Energy Homogenization (Passive): When you cast this ability, there is a probability of forming 2–3 Crystal Blaze Blooms at once, and the consumption will not increase.

2. Power of Sacrifice (Passive): After choosing this characteristic, your arena body will undergo huge changes: Strength reduced to 5 points, Stamina reduced to 5 points, Agility reduced by 30 points, Intelligence reduced by 30 points, movement speed reduced by 40%, and Health reduced by 100%. Furthermore, in subsequent upgrades, your body attributes will not be able to obtain any improvement, only the improvement of body energy will be retained.

Note: After completing the above process, your body energy will represent your health. You will lose body energy when attacked. When your body energy reaches zero, you will die. Also, if you use an ability that causes your body energy to reach zero, it will also trigger death.

Note: After completing this conversion, when you kill an enemy with your ultimate secret art, Crystal Blaze Bloom, the life force left behind by the enemy after death will be absorbed and converted into body energy, immediately restoring 30% of your maximum body energy.

Without needing to consider, Su Xiao decided to choose Power of Sacrifice. He found a relatively safe place, and just after making the choice, his vision went black. When he woke up, the stars were filling the sky. He checked his body attributes: Strength and Stamina had both become 5 points, while Agility and Intelligence were both 36 points. These body attributes all presented a diamond-like, firm, and brilliant color, which also meant that these body attributes of this arena body could no longer be improved.

The health bar had disappeared, leaving only the blue body energy bar. With his current physique, being attacked once would cause a massive loss of body energy.

Compared to these costs, the characteristic of immediately restoring 30% body energy when killing an enemy with the ultimate was equally powerful. Returning to the previous rooftop, with the help of the moonlight, he looked at the fountain below in the distance and found two figures standing near the fountain: the Fire-type brother and the Healer Luoluo. It seemed they were helpless from being blown up and had started guarding the fountain.

Su Xiao checked his current Golden Power; 100% was enough to meet the requirements for this round. He had already reached 170%. Subsequently, he only needed to eat a piece of the Gluttonous Monarch's flesh to pass this round.

Going to deal with the Gluttonous Monarch now was not a wise move. Su Xiao knew his profession system was too poor. What he should do more was to upgrade his ultimate to lv. 10 as soon as possible. Only the powerful transformation of a max-level ultimate could save this trash profession.

Having figured this out, Su Xiao went downstairs along the stairs without railings. After entering Central Park, he approached the fountain openly. Seeing someone walking out of the forest, the Fire-type brother and Healer Luoluo near the fountain immediately became alert...

Pop!

A black flame ball slammed into Su Xiao's left shoulder, shattering his entire left arm and shoulder. Traces of energy burns also appeared on his side face. After retreating two steps, he half-knelt on the ground, pressing one hand to the ground. A crystal bomb was laid out. The lv. 7 ultimate not only had an 80% faster release speed, but its range also increased from 5 meters to 20 meters.

Su Xiao had 10,000 points of body energy; such an attack was not enough to kill him. He stepped forward. The next instant, an energy arrow shot off his right leg. He did not fall; crystals spread, and a crystal prosthetic limb, though not very flexible, was formed to walk. He took a step forward, and while stepping on the ground, a crystal bomb was formed.

Seeing Su Xiao moving forward step by step like an immortal body, the Fire-type brother and Luoluo both decided to go all out to kill this strong enemy as soon as possible. Just then, crystal weapons such as cone spears, long swords, and halberds appeared above Su Xiao. Regardless, he was a ranged fighter, it was just that his range was only 50 meters.

Boom!

A sharp sword shot out, breaking through layers of air waves. The attack power and penetration of this sword were 2% of Su Xiao's maximum body energy. With his 10,000 points of body energy, this represented an attack of over 200 points of body energy, which was quite terrifying. The Fire-type brother, who was level 5, only had a body energy cap of 230 points.

Puchi!

The crystal sword pierced the Fire-type brother's chest. Before he could react, dozens of various crystal weapons shrouded him and the Healer Luoluo.

How did Su Xiao defeat these two? Stat crushing? Not entirely. Because the crystal bombs he created were invisible + camouflaged, given the current level of the arena fighters, it was basically impossible for them to clear them. This also led to the Fire-type brother and Luoluo only knowing one safe route; they didn't dare to dodge further away at will. In fact, their approach was correct; there were 9 crystal bombs in the surrounding area, which Su Xiao had laid out earlier.

This was also the reason why Su Xiao didn't choose to upgrade the Ruthless Slaughter Avatar's crystal version of the King's Treasure; this ability was too weak for melee. No matter how it was upgraded, its minimum range of 2 meters could not be solved, plus the Book of Original Sin did not boost this ability.

Above, Baja swooped down and said, "Boss, found them. In the eastern area of the ruined city, they want to deal with the Gluttonous Monarch. It seems they want to end this round as soon as possible."

"..."

Su Xiao walked in the direction Baja pointed. When he arrived at his destination, he saw an oval building wrapped in a large number of vines. This building was about a hundred meters high, the tallest among the buildings. There was a hole more than ten meters high on the front, and vines hung down from it.

Located inside this hole, there was heavy breathing. A giant beast was crawling in the darkness; this was the Gluttonous Monarch. And judging from the blood scattered on the front of the building, someone had already tried to challenge the first big boss, the Gluttonous Monarch, and failed. Now they should have gone to level up.

Su Xiao walked toward the Gluttonous Monarch's nest. He still had 7 resurrection counts left this round, and the first 5 could be used for probing.

Perhaps not expecting that someone would walk toward its nest so openly, after the Gluttonous Monarch woke up, those two huge beast eyes stared at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao glanced at the Gluttonous Monarch and threw a large bone club he had picked up along the way to the Gluttonous Monarch. After the large bone club fell into the nest, it rolled a distance and arrived in front of the Gluttonous Monarch's sharp claws. The Gluttonous Monarch, which had intelligence no lower than a human's, was stunned, staring straight at the large bone club...

Su Xiao walked a few steps in front of the nest and laid out a few crystal bombs. Just by walking past, a total of 10 crystal bombs were distributed in front of the nest.

By this time, the Gluttonous Monarch looked at Su Xiao. Its beast eyes were angry to the limit, and it spat out blood-red blood flames from its mouth, burning Su Xiao outside the nest into a skeleton until he turned into ashes. Even so, the Gluttonous Monarch was angry in the nest for a good while before falling asleep again. Perhaps, the Gluttonous Monarch could not have imagined that this was the most glorious moment of its beast life: killing the Law-Exterminator Bai Ye with a single breath of blood flame.

The scene before his eyes changed, and Su Xiao arrived at the Spectator Seat for Souls. He looked at the Rainmaker in the seat diagonally opposite.

Seeing that it was Su Xiao who had come here, the Rainmaker couldn't help but laugh with satisfaction. He clearly remembered that the second brother of the four had said that the opponent had killed Bai Ye once, which meant that the famous Hunter Bai Ye had also used up his resurrection counts, just like him.

"Welcome to the Loser's Spectator Seat..."

As soon as the Rainmaker finished speaking, Su Xiao in the opposite seat disappeared, which surprised the Rainmaker quite a bit.

It started to drizzle in the second half of the night in the ruined city. Su Xiao was on the 15th floor of an abandoned hotel. He was using the side-lying Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang as a pillow, his hands also behind his head, while Baja circled nearby to prevent enemies from approaching.

Facts proved that laying crystal bombs near the Gluttonous Monarch's nest was very wise. Only an hour had passed, and there were two kill notifications, allowing Su Xiao to level up 6 times. With a total of 8 skill points on him, he was only 1 skill point away from being able to upgrade his ultimate to max level.

For this level, did Su Xiao have to rely on luck? Of course not. Killing arena fighters of the same faction had no base level gain, but it was not without extra level gains. The Death effect of the Book of Original Sin was: If this attack causes the challenger to die, your level will immediately increase by lv. 2.

This included all challengers, including the three scumbags of the Arbiter from the same paradise faction as Su Xiao.

Su Xiao opened the communication platform and posted a coordinate on it, as well as 200 ounces of Space-Time Power. Selling a resurrection count at this price was profitable no matter how you looked at it, especially for a guy like Caesar whose survivability was unreasonably strong.

A more important point was that among Caesar's arena equipment, there was one called the Abyss Jar, so Caesar didn't worry about being eliminated in the first match.

A few minutes later, another kill notification appeared. As expected, he leveled up 2 times. With his existing skill points, he maxed out the ultimate level.

【Your Crystal Blaze Bloom ability has been upgraded to lv. 10 (Max Level).】

【You can choose one of the following characteristic transformations.】

1. Death Trap (Passive): Increases the explosion range of Crystal Blaze Bloom by 1000%, and explosion power by 50%.

2. Activation (Passive): The Crystal Blaze Bloom crystal bombs you form will be activated and can mimic running creatures or flying creatures. This mimicry can last for 10 hours and can be detonated instantly from medium to long distances at any time (if mimicking a flying creature, it can split; the smaller the split individual, the greater the reduction in explosion power).

Seeing the second choice for characteristic transformation, Su Xiao knew that the first six rounds of this Golden Arena would soon end. This ability, combined with his three pieces of arena equipment, was simply so strong that other challengers would want to report him for cheating.
