Chapter 3820
The "Ultimate Secret Technique: Crystal Blazing Bloom" has undergone a qualitative change. Although this was a capability used temporarily in the Golden Arena, it can yield a massive amount of Golden Skill Points.
It even depends on this ability's performance in the subsequent arena battles whether Su Xiao can become the strongest Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe in history; the +10 cap increase to all ability levels provided by the 【Origin Stone: World】 really makes Golden Skill Points essential.
A torrential rain began in the ruined city late at night, filling the air with a foul chemical stench. It is likely that this was once a technologically prosperous city that ultimately decayed due to excessive technology, and after lying abandoned for many years, it was selected by the Tree of the Void as one of the venues for the Golden Arena.
The rain outside grew lighter. Because there were no doors or windows to block it, the air inside the abandoned hotel felt damp and cold. Su Xiao held his palm upward and gripped the air, causing a mass of semi-fluid crystal to appear in his hand. The semi-fluid crystal dripped through his fingers and hit the floor with a 'splat', wriggling like a translucent blue slime; this was its initial form before a shape had been selected.
As Su Xiao willed a shape into existence, the semi-fluid crystal surged rapidly. In the blink of an eye, a spider appeared. Including its eight legs, the spider was about half a meter wide. There was liquid solution inside its abdomen, giving it a dangerous orange-yellow hue. Its eight compound eyes were all blue, indicating its state was stable; when its compound eyes turned red, it meant it had been activated and would explode at any moment.
Ding, ding, ding~
The spider easily climbed onto the wall and could even crawl rapidly while hanging upside down on the ceiling. The spider form is the most suitable for a running-type crystal bomb, though this form should not be used often.
Due to the mimicry effect of the "Ultimate Secret Technique: Crystal Blazing Bloom," although it cannot turn invisible when transformed into the spider form, the mimicry characteristic is pushed to the limit. It looks exactly like a living spider with alien biological features, rather than a mechanical bomb.
After successfully refreshing the ultimate ability's cooldown, another mass of semi-fluid crystal appeared in Su Xiao's hand. These crystals gradually transformed into a bird form, or more precisely, a vulture. Vultures and crows are the most common scavengers in the ruined city, so the second flight state of the ultimate ability is a crow.
The amount of semi-fluid crystal for one ultimate ability can form one vulture or five crows. Correspondingly, the power of a crow after exploding is only one-fifth that of a vulture. Even so, it still possesses powerful lethality.
Su Xiao currently has 14,670 points of body energy. Each use of the ultimate ability consumes 10%, which is 1,467 points. One-fifth of that is equivalent to the attack power corresponding to 293 points of body energy. An arena fighter below level 5 would be severely injured and near death if hit by a single crow; if it were a Scarlet Crow or a Nether Crow, they would certainly die.
Besides crows, there are also smaller swarms of bees. One ultimate ability can form hundreds of explosive bees. This is only considered for use when the enemy hides in a relatively enclosed environment where crows cannot fly in.
In normal circumstances, crows are still the most useful. Their large numbers provide greater fault tolerance, their power is medium-high, they can fly, and since crows are relatively common in the ruined city, they are easier to disguise.
Su Xiao converted all his existing spiders and vultures. As a result, he had 15 crows. Because his luck was average, they were all Death Crows, with no Scarlet Crows or Nether Crows.
With the cooperation of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja, Su Xiao refreshed his ultimate ability time and again. After more than half an hour, a total of 50 crows were perched throughout the abandoned guest room. Observing these crows closely, except for their slightly black-blue eyes, they were indistinguishable from living crows, whether in their feathers or their claws and beaks.
Su Xiao temporarily dismissed the summons of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja. The two of them were the MVPs of this battle; without their help in refreshing the skill, this system would be useless. As for skill 2, Piercing Crystal Weapon, that requires an enemy target.
Su Xiao walked down the stairs. Under the cover of night, he arrived at the fountain in the central park and found that 12 crystal bombs remained there. Checking the kill notifications, no new kill notifications appeared. This meant someone had mastered the method to disarm these crystal bombs and had already disarmed quite a few. Because it had just rained, the opponent had stopped to avoid making mistakes under the interference of the downpour.
Realizing this, Su Xiao pressed one hand to the ground. All the crystal bombs around the fountain appeared, then began to dissolve, turning into black crows that flew up.
Boom!
Due to Su Xiao's mistake, a crystal bomb more than 20 meters away exploded. He did not mind. Soon, the number of crows he controlled reached 80. Each of the crystal bombs he had previously laid could only be converted into 2–3 explosive crows, but this was already quite good.
Su Xiao was puzzled by one thing: he currently had no health points, but body energy had replaced them. In this case, what effect would he have if he were within the range of the fountain?
Adopting an experimental attitude, Su Xiao walked into the fountain's recovery area. However, the scene of body energy recovering rapidly that he had imagined did not appear. If body energy could be recovered rapidly here, the entire ruined city would be razed to the ground by the flock of crows.
Su Xiao turned to leave. He wanted to find the Gluttonous Monarch, destroy this boss first, and then use its flesh and blood to lure other participants here, rather than searching for these guys everywhere.
Just as he turned, he felt a powerful aura approaching. Looking in the direction of the aura, a strange beast that looked like a lion and a tiger, but with a single horn on its head and golden fur all over its body, walked over majestically. The fur on the beast's hind legs was stained with blood; it was severely injured, and its purpose for coming to the Fountain of Life was the same.
It seemed that all fierce beasts, mad beasts, and wild beasts had a tacit understanding: when they were near the Fountain of Life, they would not attack each other. Su Xiao did not directly attack this golden unit. It was not that he wanted to follow the rules of the beasts, but he wanted to test how many Death Crows a golden fierce beast at full state could withstand.
The Gluttonous Monarch was the only big boss in this level to reach Lv. 10, while the golden fierce beast was at Lv. 9, second only to the Gluttonous Monarch.
Interestingly, Su Xiao's previous level was Lv. 21, but he was instantly killed by a big boss at Lv. 10. This was not only because of the Gluttonous Monarch's boss template, but also because Su Xiao's career system was truly too trashy.
The reason it was weak was that this career system was extreme; it only had attack power and no survival ability. Correspondingly, the more extreme the career system, once it is developed to the limit, its strength becomes particularly perverted.
For example, right now, Su Xiao was sitting on a park bench, while 50 meters away, the golden fierce beast was squatting beside the Fountain of Life, its two dark golden beast eyes staring at Su Xiao.
Time passed slowly, and the golden fierce beast's injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. When its injuries were fully healed, it immediately stood up and walked toward Su Xiao with a calm gait. But when it stepped out of the treatment area, it immediately let out a wild roar and ferociously pounced on Su Xiao.
A Death Crow flew out, breaking the wind, and pounced straight at the golden fierce beast's head. The golden fierce beast reacted extremely quickly, swatting at the Death Crow with one claw. But at the same time, the Death Crow's black-blue eyes turned blood-red, which meant it had been detonated.
Thud!
A spherical explosion with a radius of 30 meters appeared, inside which was highly compressed crystal grease flame. Subsequently, the shockwave spread further, blowing Su Xiao's robe and hair on the bench.
When the smoke cleared, the golden fierce beast was lying in an explosion crater 10 meters deep and over 30 meters in diameter. The ground inside the crater was covered with sparks, flickering on and off. As for the golden fierce beast, its majestic golden fur was largely scorched, blood was flowing from its mouth and nose, one of its eyes had been blown away, leaving only a horrifying eye socket, and the bones of its skull were exposed, with large cracks visible.
This majestic-looking golden fierce beast was unexpectedly weak. Su Xiao controlled another Death Crow to fly out, and with a 'thud', the explosion ended the golden fierce beast's suffering.
At the same time, in the nearby bushes, three people were witnessing all this. These three came from Sanctuary Paradise, the Void, and a top-tier, ninth-tier world in the Myriad Worlds. At this moment, the three of them looked at each other and decided it was better not to go out and die. But the next second, a crow landed on one of their shoulders.
"It's over."
Thud!
The explosion cleared the surrounding trees, and the three were immediately sent to the Spectator Seat of Souls to accompany the Rainmaker who had arrived there first.
【Notification: You have killed the golden fierce beast.】
【You have obtained 50% Golden Power.】
【Number of golden fierce beasts in this round: 0/5 (all have been killed).】
A total of five golden fierce beasts had all been killed. It could be said that none of the people participating in the arena this time were weak. If things continued like this, who would win the top prize was really uncertain. The problem was, this time they had encountered Su Xiao.
It wasn't that Su Xiao's financial resources were heaven-defying; the key was his two arena pieces of equipment. With the weight of the 【Origin Stone: World】, the Tree of the Void would definitely provide a piece of arena equipment that was ridiculously strong. This was the strongest Origin Stone, so not giving a ridiculously strong arena piece of equipment would truly be targeting him.
As for the "Book of Original Sin," there was no need to mention that thing. In the judgment of this arena equipment, only the three original sin items within the "Book of Original Sin"—the Book of Necromancy, the Scarlet Scepter, and the Nether Bone Ring—were judged.
Why weren't the remaining Soul Crown and the even stronger Collector judged? The answer is, they couldn't be judged anymore. If the remaining ones were also judged and the arena equipment was constructed on this scale, then this Golden Arena would not be able to proceed.
Ensuring the notarization power of a participant is important, but it must give way to the smooth holding of this Golden Arena. If this Golden Arena cannot be held, no matter how fair the judgment mechanism is, it is useless.
Even the "Arena Equipment: Book of Necromancy," which was a weakened version by the Tree of the Void, had a particularly ridiculous effect. For example, the current highest-level person in the ruined city, Daughter of Nature, Elucru, had reached level 9. Coupled with the strength of her ability system, she could challenge the Gluttonous Monarch once she reached level 10. The problem is, Su Xiao was already level 38.
After successfully killing the golden fierce beast, Su Xiao's body energy recovered by a large margin. He kept 10% of his body energy and created all the rest into explosive crows. Everything was ready, and he walked toward the Gluttonous Monarch's lair under the cover of night.
An hour later, in front of the Gluttonous Monarch's lair, Su Xiao looked at a pile of ashes on the ground. This was what was left after his previous arena body was burned.
With a 'whoosh', a Death Crow flew past and pounced into the Gluttonous Monarch's lair. A beast claw with sharp claws reached out and pinched the Death Crow in its palm.
Accompanied by a threatening low growl in its throat, the Gluttonous Monarch stood up inside the lair. Under the moonlight, the giant beast with beast-like four legs and wings on its back opened its eyes. Its head could not be seen clearly due to the darkness; only its general body outline could be seen.
The light rain that had just stopped began to drizzle again. In the rain, blue light gradually appeared in Su Xiao's eyes. In the Gluttonous Monarch's claw, a terrifying heat and a deadly threat appeared.
Thud!
The Gluttonous Monarch, as a giant beast, was blown backward. The beast claw that had crushed the Death Crow was blown to pieces. But after all, this was the Gluttonous Monarch; how could it be so easy to deal with? Its blown-off beast claw regenerated rapidly, and it let out a roar that shook half the ruined city.
Alas, the Gluttonous Monarch's majesty could only go this far. The rain grew rapidly, and in the torrential downpour, 10 Death Crows broke through the rain curtain and flew in front of the Gluttonous Monarch. Those blood-red crow eyes stared at the Gluttonous Monarch at close range, which actually made the Gluttonous Monarch's usually fierce gaze a bit clearer.
Thud! Thud! Thud...
【Announcement: The Secret Technique Master has killed the Gluttonous Monarch.】
After this announcement was made, the contact channel was silent for a few seconds before a message appeared.
Secret Technique Master (Reincarnation Paradise): "Ruined city coordinates, North District, Gluttonous Monarch flesh and blood about 6 tons or more, those in need come and take it, life and death are up to fate."
Boss (Sanctuary Paradise): "So arrogant, can you guys tolerate this? Anyway, I can't tolerate it. We four brothers are going there now."
Light Flame (Death Paradise): "Brother, 20 minutes have passed, are you still there? If you are, reply."
Luoluo (Apocalypse Paradise): "It looks like they are already gone. They should be at the Spectator Seat of Souls now."
Boss (Sanctuary Paradise): "Not at all. I observed the situation, and I sincerely believe that we should temporarily join forces to solve this overlord unit first. Otherwise, with him blocking, none of us will be able to pass the first round."
The proposal of the boss among the four brothers was agreed upon by everyone. However, Su Xiao was also watching the contact channel. This was a typical face-to-face conspiracy. Everyone also knew this situation, so after deciding to join forces, they chose to use other ways to contact each other.
In front of the giant beast lair, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the Gluttonous Monarch's huge beast corpse. He tore off a large piece of half-cooked flesh and blood with one hand and bit off a piece, holding it in his mouth. He would not eat this flesh and blood for the time being. Once eaten, the condition for passing the first round would be met, and he would not be able to fight with other arena fighters.
Having an advantage, one naturally wants to amplify it without limit. Su Xiao did not believe that he could stop the remaining 29 arena fighters from fighting for the Gluttonous Monarch's flesh and blood. But during this period, he would definitely be able to raise his level to Lv. 50 by killing the arena fighters who came here, which meant reaching the full level in the first round.
Su Xiao summoned Baja and let it take a large piece of the Gluttonous Monarch's flesh and blood to find Caesar and the others. Caesar, Rat, and Toad, as challengers, could pass this round as long as they ate the Gluttonous Monarch's flesh and blood.
The night rain did not lighten until five o'clock in the morning. By this time, the number of Death Crows around Su Xiao had reached hundreds, perching on the nearby rooftops or on the rusty lampposts.
Drip, drip~
The water droplets dripping from the crows' beaks fell into the puddles on the road, creating tiny ripples. Just as another droplet was about to fall, this droplet reflected an inexplicable faint light and suddenly shattered. As the water volume soared, a hand reached out from inside.
Slap!
A water cannon was fired. While still in flight, this water cannon gradually broke through into a sharp cone shape, with wind holes appearing on it, causing it to start rotating. Subsequently, spell patterns appeared. It can only be said that even if using an arena body with only a few levels of combat power, an Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe is still an Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe. This kind of subtle ability control, which can be called artistic, is something that 99% of powerhouses can only look at but cannot reach.
As the water thorn shot out, it made a sharp whistling sound. Su Xiao's right temple throbbed. This body could not perceive the incoming attack, but his combat instinct captured it. Alas, this body was too weak; even if he captured this thing with his combat instinct, this body had no way to avoid it.
Although he could not avoid it, Su Xiao could swallow the Gluttonous Monarch's flesh and blood in his mouth with a 'gulp'.
Bang!
Su Xiao's head was hit. He was originally sitting cross-legged on top of the Gluttonous Monarch's beast corpse, but after taking this hit, he flew to the side.
Still flying in mid-air, various attacks came at him. Su Xiao's pupils gradually constricted. This was not because of emotional changes, but because he was locking onto the directions from which these attacks were coming with his current eyesight.
Hundreds of Death Crows pounced down, attacking the participants who had just made their move. Before being hit by various attacks, Su Xiao, who was falling, snapped his fingers with a 'slap'.
Boom!
Su Xiao was blasted by more than a dozen attacks and was instantly killed on the spot.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud...
Dense explosions resounded through the ruined city. If one opened the contact list of the contact channel at this time, one would be shocked to find that the names on this contact list suddenly turned gray and white by more than half. A few seconds later, as the arena fighters were resurrected one after another, most of the names on it lit up again.
At this moment, in the Spectator Seat of Souls.
Su Xiao sat on a white chair. The wall behind him, the ceiling, etc., were all white. Looking to the side, there was a large screen at the end of the right side, playing the live broadcast of the highest-level person, Daughter of Nature, Elucru. The perspective was pulled a bit high, but Daughter of Nature, Elucru's unique temperament was very attractive.
Daughter of Nature, Elucru came from the elemental faction of the Arcane Eternal Star, which was the person under the command of the Frost King. It might be that this was the Frost King's disciple.
Previously on the giant rock disc, Su Xiao knew that two people from the Arcane Eternal Star were participating in the Golden Arena this time, and the auras of these two people were very strong, belonging to the top echelon of Absolute Powerhouses.
Regarding this point, Su Xiao was not surprised. The Arcane Eternal Star had resources, a stable and powerful inheritance system, and famous teachers of the older generation. Among them, Dean Guya and Mage Sage Sephiria were representative figures, not to mention that the Supreme-level Soul Lord, Youwen Gewu, was also good at teaching disciples.
"Diamond Indestructible Village Master"
Spellcasters were never a purely combat faction. They were not only powerful but also possessed vast knowledge. Compared with combat training, they cared more about high-level knowledge and inheritance, which was also the reason why the Arcane Eternal Star had been strong for so many years.
Under such circumstances, it was perfectly reasonable for a top Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe like Daughter of Nature, Elucru to appear. What was truly terrifying was the cohesion of the Arcane Eternal Star. A top Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe like Daughter of Nature, Elucru was actually willing to hide for so many years for the sake of the Arcane Eternal Star. Among spellcasters, the 150-year-old Daughter of Nature, Elucru was still young, and among Absolute Powerhouses, this age was even younger.
Such a heaven-sent talent not only had no arrogance but also had such forbearance for her own force. It was no wonder that the Arcane Eternal Star had been wantonly devouring the natural elements of the Void for so many years, and major forces such as the Feather Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Star Clan had all chosen to retreat.
Su Xiao observed Daughter of Nature, Elucru for a while through the big screen. The feeling this person gave him was: comfortable, making people feel as comfortable as nature, and it was difficult to generate hostility. The other party's appearance was not stunning, and could not even be called beautiful, but after looking at her a few more times, the more he looked, the more he felt that she was full of charm, with a kind of natural beauty. It was not stunning, but no matter how many times he looked, he felt comfortable and natural in his heart.
With such temperament and charm, Su Xiao's thought after seeing her was: if he successfully killed her, could she drop a treasure chest? If she dropped a treasure chest, was there a probability of opening a supreme treasure? Compared with this female spellcaster who looked particularly pleasing to the eye, Su Xiao felt that his feeling of looking at the supreme treasure should be more pleasing and refreshing.
There were about ten people in the Spectator Seat of Souls. However, these people looked at Su Xiao with unfriendly eyes. In fact, this could be understood; they were all sent in by Su Xiao, so it would be strange if they looked at him in a friendly way.
Compared with this, Su Xiao cared more about the series of notifications that had just appeared.
【Notification: Your arena level has been raised to Lv. 50 (full level).】
【By raising your level, you have obtained 490% Golden Power. Subsequent Golden Power can only be obtained by killing golden fierce beasts and leader-level units.】
【Current Golden Power: 540%.】
【In the history of the Golden Arena, you are the third arena fighter to reach full level in the first round. You have obtained the following unique reward.】
【You have obtained the special title: Upgrade Expert (After completing the Golden Arena, this title will automatically be stored in your title column).】
【Upgrade Expert】
Origin: Tree of the Void.
Category: Special title (sealed in grease; can be worn after the grease seal is removed, but it will not be tradable).
Title effect: Rate Increase (Passive), when performing world settlement, you will additionally increase your brand level by 1 (this increase will not be calculated in the maximum limit of each increase).
Introduction: This title is a gift that only belongs to the excellent people in the Golden Arena.
Selling price: Tradable.
This title was very useful. When reaching the promotion level, one could stall the level for a few worlds to obtain more extra authority levels. Although these extra authority levels did not represent authority, they could be used to exchange for many good things.
Su Xiao was able to be promoted to an Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe in the previous world precisely because he relied on a large number of extra authority levels to get the attribute enhancement chamber, and then successfully completed the trial assessment + attribute barrier breakthrough within one world progress.
However, Su Xiao did not need the 【Upgrade Expert】 title most of the time. The upgrade speed of his brand level was unstoppable. Right now, it was already Lv. 93, and the highest brand level for an Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe was Lv. 95. It was impossible for him to be promoted to a Supreme Foreign Qiangzhe in the next world progress, so he could only stall the level first.
However, for the situation of an Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe being promoted to a Supreme Foreign Qiangzhe, stalling for a few world progresses should not have a reduction in benefits. This is different from rank promotion. The promotion from Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe to Supreme Foreign Qiangzhe already involves the step toward the peak.
The picture on the big screen attracted Su Xiao's attention. He saw Daughter of Nature, Elucru standing on the Gluttonous Monarch's beast corpse. She raised her hands, and large pieces of light particles scattered. Subsequently, her body actually began to disintegrate, and a silver lightning bolt struck down from the sky.
A loud explosion sounded in the Spectator Seat of Souls, and Daughter of Nature, Elucru's translucent soul body appeared. Behind her was a large piece of the Gluttonous Monarch's flesh and blood, a large piece with a diameter of several meters, which was more than enough for all the arena fighters.
It can only be said that she is worthy of being a top Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe. Even if limited by the arena body, she can use various means beyond estimation. Daughter of Nature, Elucru's move was extremely beautiful. She allowed 30 challengers to be promoted to the second round. This not only restrained Su Xiao, who was already at full level, but also allowed Su Xiao, who was her enemy, to have more enemies in the future.
Daughter of Nature, Elucru tore off some of the Gluttonous Monarch's flesh and blood with her soul body and chewed it slowly, confirming that eating this flesh and blood with her soul body could also meet the conditions for passing.
A group of challengers had already agreed that after Elucru arrived at the Spectator Seat of Souls, Light Flame appeared. This was using the number of resurrections to come here to find out the situation. When seeing the large piece of Gluttonous Monarch flesh and blood in the Spectator Seat of Souls, Light Flame chose to be resurrected. Not long after, a group of arena fighters arrived at the Spectator Seat of Souls one after another. When the last arena fighter swallowed the Gluttonous Monarch's flesh and blood with his soul body, the announcement appeared.
【Announcement: All arena fighters in this round have met the conditions for passing.】
【The second round of the Golden Arena is about to begin. The content of this round is: Golden Lord.】
【When in this scene, if your frost value reaches 100%, you will enter the frostbite state, losing 5% of your maximum health per hour, and reducing your maximum health cap by 5% per hour (minimum reduction to 30%).】
【Conditions for passing this round: After successfully killing the Golden Lord, obtain a fragment of its battle armor.】
【Duration of this round: 45 hours.】
【Teleportation has been activated. Target: Resurrection Square.】
Seeing the last notification, Daughter of Nature, Elucru, Light Flame, Shadow Qin, the four Death brothers, and Thunder Mage God Aige and others looked at each other, and all saw a bit of a bad premonition in each other's eyes.
"This Resurrection Square must give a mechanism that cannot attack each other, it must be, right."
Nurse Luoluo's smile was already starting to be forced. She felt that with the openness of the Golden Arena, it was unlikely to give such rules. The various mechanisms in the first round were already very loose, and by the second round, there would definitely not be such a friendly mechanism.
The feeling of teleportation came. When Su Xiao opened his eyes, he was already in a circular square. This square was several thousand square meters, surrounded by towering ring walls, towering to the sky, covered with vines. Located in the center of this Resurrection Square, there was also a fountain that could restore health.
Whoosh!
A dark energy arrow flew past Su Xiao's ear. He barely tilted his head to avoid this blow. Five Death Crows appeared and pounced on the surrounding enemies. Right now, as an overlord unit, except for the three scumbags of the adjudicators, all challengers were his enemies.
As the Death Crows flew out, crystal weapons were formed one by one, as many as a hundred, and pierced toward the surrounding enemies.
Clang! Clang! Clang...
There were sounds of blocking one after another. Fortunately, there were enough crystal weapons, and in addition, it was not to kill the enemy, but to refresh the ultimate ability.
Five more crows appeared. This time they were Nether Crows. After drawing streaks of ghostly green afterimages, they blasted to death several challengers who were preparing to rush out from the only exit.
Bang!
A war hammer slammed into Su Xiao's back. Half of his body was shattered. In an instant, a sharp sword slashed, killing him on the spot. But 1 second later, he was resurrected at a position a few meters away. Because the interval of resurrection was too short, the five Death Crows he had just formed had not yet had time to shatter and dissipate before he stabilized their forms again. After discovering this, he knew that none of the challengers in this resurrection point could escape.
According to the normal process, the first round is for the overlord unit to hide throughout, and when it comes to the Resurrection Square in the second round, it tests the acting skills of the overlord unit. If one can pass this level, it is not until the fifth or sixth round that it is the turn for the overlord unit to kill everywhere.
The three pieces of arena equipment held by Su Xiao obviously did not allow him to do so, so he reached level 50 in the first round. After the second round started, he started by blocking the fountain and killing.
None of the twenty-odd challengers chose to escape. They all knew that if they didn't solve this overlord unit now, they would be beaten up if they were left alone later. It was better to fight now.
Crystal weapons shot out angrily, followed by Death Crows flying out with 'caw-caw' sounds. Various attacks converged on Su Xiao. A few seconds later, he was blasted to death again.
"Don't be careless! He can be resurrected twice!"
The Rainmaker shouted. The crowd, who were not careless originally, became even more alert.
The light of resurrection flashed, and various attacks came.
Crack, crack, crack!
Crystals spread, forming diamond-shaped shields floating around Su Xiao. Various attacks slammed into them, causing the crystal shields to continue to shatter. This did not blast him to death, but instead caused more Death Crows to fly out.
When there were only a dozen challengers left in the Resurrection Square, Su Xiao was blasted to death again, which made the group of challengers breathe a sigh of relief. But the next second, the Death Crows that were about to shatter re-condensed, staring at them with blood-red eyes. Su Xiao was resurrected for the third time.
When Su Xiao was resurrected for the fifth time, the Resurrection Square was already empty. On the other hand, the Spectator Seat of Souls was exceptionally lively. Only one chair was empty. Even Caesar and the others came here. Judging from the expressions of the three, it was obvious that they had achieved their goal and were not prepared to participate in the subsequent arena battles, so they found a place to end it, thereby entering the Spectator Seat of Souls and choosing to abstain.
The announcement of the elimination of the three scumbags of the adjudicators appeared. The group of challengers was not happy. Everyone stared at the big screen, or rather, stared at Su Xiao standing at the exit of the Resurrection Square on the big screen. How mean, blocking and killing at the resurrection point in the second round. Is this something a human can do?
"I have a strategy, I don't know if you are willing to cooperate."
The Rainmaker spoke in a deep voice. Because he had reminded everyone before that Su Xiao not only had one resurrection count, this made him speak at this time and get everyone's attention.
"I'm all ears."
The boss among the four brothers didn't want to give up just like this. After the Rainmaker got the reply from others, he coughed lightly and said: "Let's collectively report him, and then collectively abstain."
"?"
"Brother, if you come from Reincarnation Paradise, I suspect you are in the same group as Bai Ye."
"Don't say that, it seems... it's really feasible. If we all abstain, this arena battle won't be able to proceed. Maybe we can jump directly to the seventh round. At that time, our consciousness will return to our bodies and restore our normal state. In the melee of the seventh round, who is afraid of whom."
After weighing the pros and cons, everyone felt that if they continued to fight with the arena body like this, then by the sixth round, it would definitely be eliminated until only one person was left. That kind of explosive crow ability, 1 against 27, won, and no one could withstand it later.
Among the crowd, the madman's eyes narrowed a bit. After weighing it, he felt that he really couldn't hold on until the end of the first six rounds, so this proposal was indeed worth testing.
The reason why this proposal could move everyone was mainly because the upgrade ability and attack power shown by Su Xiao were too ridiculous, and this was not a problem that could be overcome by persisting. It was like a group of players just starting at the resurrection point of the novice village, but before they could walk out of the resurrection point, a full-level, long-range, ultimate-flow boss was blocking the exit, throwing ultimate moves at them.
If a game is unbalanced to this extent, there must be a reason. Collective abstention will definitely lead to this incentive being judged by the Tree of the Void again. In fact, the guess of the group of challengers was correct; this incentive was the Book of Necromancy.
【Announcement: The second round of the Golden Arena ended due to special reasons.】
At the exit of the resurrection point, Su Xiao saw this notification and was not surprised. If it were him, he would also choose to abstain directly. Only in this way would there be a glimmer of hope.
【Notification: It is detected that your comprehensive values at this stage have seriously exceeded other arena fighters, and all challengers have abstained. The first stage of the Golden Arena (rounds 1–6) can no longer continue.】
【As a key figure in this event, you can decide the subsequent development method of this Golden Arena based on your own decision.】
1. You immediately become the champion of this Golden Arena (by winning the championship in this way, you will receive the minimum championship reward).
2. Your first six rounds of arena battles will be won with the highest completion degree, and you will receive the full reward for these six rounds. After selecting this condition, this Golden Arena will jump directly to the seventh round (the income obtained from this reward is about 7.5 times the minimum championship reward).
Seeing this notification, Su Xiao decisively chose the latter. His core purpose for participating in the Golden Arena was not the championship, but Golden Skill Points.
As for the Golden Arena not being able to proceed, he could understand this. His behavior at the start of the second round was equivalent to killing an online game into a single-player game. The core problem is, if this were a grinding game, it would be fine, but the third to sixth rounds were competitive games. One person, indeed, could not compete.
【You have obtained the first round arena reward: 1 Golden Skill Point.】
【You have obtained the second round arena reward: 2 Golden Skill Points.】
【You have obtained the third round arena reward: 4 Golden Skill Points.】
【You have obtained the fourth round arena reward: 8 Golden Skill Points.】
【You have obtained the fifth round arena reward: 16 Golden Skill Points.】
【You have obtained the sixth round arena reward: 32 Golden Skill Points.】
【You have obtained a total of 63 Golden Skill Points.】
Seeing this income, Su Xiao knew that he had not come in vain this time. If he won the seventh round, he would obtain 64 Golden Skill Points, and if he won the eighth round, he would obtain 128 Golden Skill Points. Calculated in this way, he could win the championship with the maximum income, obtaining a total of 255 Golden Skill Points.
A unique feeling of teleportation appeared. Su Xiao felt a moment of drifting consciousness, followed by a familiar and reassuring feeling. In the Golden Lake, he opened his eyes. The feeling of returning to his body was very good. Next, he would conduct the 28-person Absolute Foreign Qiangzhe melee of the seventh round in his peak state. Just thinking about it made a faint red light appear in the center of his pupils.
Others would besiege Su Xiao because of the events of the first few rounds? If that were the case, it would be a good thing. This is not a Transcendent Native World, nor is it the Void, so, understand the Boundary Thunder drawn by 1180 points of elemental affinity.
