Chapter 3910: Soul

Xiguang City, Southern District.

The Southern District was once the most chaotic area of Xiguang City. After Shier Yin was elected City Lord, the district's black and grey industries and gangs suffered fatal blows. Through years of governance, in the district security rankings following last year's Mu Yu Festival, the Southern District achieved the proud result of second place in security among Xiguang City's 26 districts.

Southern District, Tasha Port, Residential Area of Pier 5.

The early morning sun shone through the gaps in the curtains. City Lord's secretary, Yuyouna, was lying on her side on the bed, riding the quilt, enjoying the comfort of lingering in bed. Her mother's knocking at the door and the tone of a mother's love gradually turning irritable forced her to get up. She lazily replied that she would get up immediately to appease her mother, then she lay back down and fell asleep again.

Half an hour later, Yuyouna sat at the dining table yawning, eating breakfast. The delicious breakfast at home gradually awakened her taste buds. Just then, her mother stopped beside her, leaned in to look at her for a few seconds, muttered that it was strange, and then turned to cook breakfast for Yuyouna's father.

Yuyouna glanced at the time; it was already 7:30. She had to hurry. She walked quickly to the bathroom mirror. Just as she cupped water in her hands to wash her face, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked up at the mirror. She looked no different than usual, but after raising her hand to touch the skin on her face and observing carefully, she found that her skin had improved significantly.

Due to staying up late and high-intensity work, even though Yuyouna was still young, her skin was not as good as her peers. But now she found that she had dream-level skin condition. This immediately reminded her that after returning home the night before last, she had diluted the skin-nourishing potion sent by the Saint Soul Master by one-fifth in the bathtub, then soaked in it, becoming so drowsy she almost fell asleep.

Observing the next morning, there was no change, but thinking that it would take a month of persistence once a week to have an effect, and since it was a gift from someone else, she shouldn't complain whether it was effective or not. As for the claim that it could keep skin healthy and fair until after 50, Yuyouna just listened casually. Such nourishing secret medicines certainly existed, but they were not something she, as a City Lord's secretary, could access.

Yuyouna didn't like driving. She took the rail bus to the Central Building. On the way, she couldn't help but cup and touch the skin on her face, a smile appearing on her face. A little girl nearby was stunned, people around her gradually moved a few steps away, and passengers further away began to point and mutter about how young people today were under too much pressure, leading to their inner selves becoming a bit perverted. Discovering this, Yuyouna remained calm, though she was actually so ashamed she wanted to jump off the bus.

Half an hour later, Yuyouna finally arrived at the office on the 33rd floor of the Central Building. She took a sip of a hot drink, let out a long sigh, saw several large stacks of various documents on the table, tied up her hair, put on her glasses, and began her new day of work.

When reviewing the second document, Yuyouna's expression became a bit solemn. According to reports from the visitor hotel, the Apocalypse Paradise Qiyuezhe who called himself the Saint Soul Master would leave Xiguang City today. Judging by the other party's meaning, he should be returning to Apocalypse Paradise, which meant leaving this world.

Yuyouna took the documents to the City Lord's office. A moment later, City Lord Shier Yin, behind the desk, put down the documents, rubbed her forehead with her fingers, and asked as if chatting: "Yuyouna, how credible do you feel this person, Saint Soul, is?"

"My lord, I believe no Qiyuezhe is completely credible. They are travelers after entering a world; even if they commit heinous and shocking acts, they can just walk away."

Speaking of this, Yuyouna's tone paused. City Lord Shier Yin raised her hand, indicating she didn't need to worry, and to continue.

"If evaluating the orderliness and moral level of Qiyuezhe, I personally feel that Mr. Saint Soul can be called a good person with an easygoing temper but who is a bit lazy."

After hearing this, City Lord Shier Yin nodded. Her feelings were similar to Yuyouna's. But for some reason, Shier Yin had a feeling in the dark that it was best not to trust this guy who called himself the Saint Soul Master. Letting him leave like this might be the best ending.

"Yuyouna, go to the City Bank and find Deputy President La Lei Si. Have him take you underground to see the tree. Take a photo of it and bring it back to me as fast as you can."

Receiving this task, Yuyouna didn't ask another word. More than 40 minutes later, Yuyouna returned to the office and placed a photo with somewhat magical colors on the table.

The content of the photo was a tree shape. Because of the magical colors of the photo, one could see darkness spreading from underground up to the trunk and root system of this tree. The invasion was already quite serious. If left alone, this unknown light tree would definitely have problems.

"Corroding so fast..."

City Lord Shier Yin threw the photo into the shredder. The woo-woo sound of the exhaust fan made her gaze go blank. A moment later, she finally made a decision and said: "Contact the Saint Soul Master and say I have an urgent matter to find him for."

Xiguang City, Eastern District, inside a gemstone workshop.

Because it was not for processing decorative gemstones, but for catalyzing and inlaying extraordinary gemstones, the location of this gemstone workshop was somewhat remote. Compared to the high rent of good locations, this gemstone workshop belonged to the "good wine doesn't fear the deep alley" type; the business from regular customers was more than they could handle.

However, today, the owner of this gemstone workshop encountered the biggest crisis of his life. A group of guys who looked like good people but actually weren't, entered the door, forcibly broke the door bolt, and pulled the outer iron door down with a clatter.

When the guards hired at high prices shouted and rushed forward, they were slapped into spinning tops by that Tauren. Later, because the guard's killing intent surged and he counterattacked with lethal force, the Tauren pinched his head with one hand as if pinching a watermelon, causing the workshop owner to roll his eyes and almost faint on the spot.

The gemstone workshop owner held on firmly and didn't faint. He witnessed the five men in black behind him skillfully cleaning up the splattered biological tissues and packing them up along with the corpse. The workshop owner almost cried out loud. If the scene of pinching the watermelon just now was the terror brought by visual shock, the skillful cleanup now was the fear gradually seeping into every pore.

Immediately after, a large bag of currency, Jiao Si, placed on the display cabinet, diluted the workshop owner's fear. Upon learning that this was just a deposit for the storefront and there would be remuneration later, the fear vanished like smoke. A smile uncontrollably climbed onto his face. As for the dead guard, he didn't care at all. This was a local gang arranged to collect protection fees here. This local ruffian was also a talent; he said he wanted to further protect the gemstone workshop but wanted the workshop owner to add an extra portion of remuneration, belonging to forcibly finding a job for himself.

The reason for choosing this place was that it was both inside Xiguang City and remote enough, not far from the city wall, making it the best choice for a kidnapping location.

Putting down a dark red gemstone, Su Xiao prepared to start kidnapping the secretary, Yuyouna. Just then, the communicator on the cargo cabinet suddenly rang. After picking it up, he found it was actually Yuyouna calling. After thinking for two seconds, he guessed what was going on. The trap he had set since entering Xiguang City had finally been stepped on by the target.

When he first came to Xiguang City, Su Xiao smelled an alluring fragrance due to the passive effect of the "Devouring Core". Only high-level biological energy/rare soul energy would have this kind of fragrance. The difference between the two was that "rare soul energy" was a lingering fragrance that refreshed the heart, while "high-level biological energy" was like a delicious delicacy, making people salivate, eyes showing a bit of red light, baring fangs and teeth of beastly aura, and having a hearty meal.

Why did Su Xiao use the identity of Saint Soul Master? When he first came to Xiguang City and smelled that refreshing lingering fragrance, he found a bit of discordant dark aura. He was too familiar with this dark aura; it was darkness with certain abyss characteristics.

He guessed it was a type of dark attribute energy extremely enhanced by the abyss. Later, these dark attribute energies bred and grew, during which they invaded the exotic flowers and trees that had "rare soul energy".

Under such circumstances, it undoubtedly required someone who understood soul-system treatment to help remove this dark erosion. This was like finding a doctor when a person was sick, and a veterinarian when an animal was sick. If the soul-system exotic flowers and trees had problems, naturally one would find a Soul Healer, or a practitioner of the holy system. As for the distorted sun of Lieyang Star, the holy system dared not stay here for long.

For Su Xiao, this suddenly appearing soul treatment system, City Lord Shier Yin would certainly have doubts. However, Su Xiao just tried it casually and didn't have high expectations for this trap. Anyway, he had to find an identity to disguise himself. Disguising as a summoning system combined with soul treatment system didn't increase costs.

What was beyond his expectation was that his disguised identity actually worked, but it worked a bit crookedly. Previously, City Lord Shier Yin invited him, not to treat the exotic flowers and trees that had "rare soul energy", but to help the Goddess of Fate treat soul wounds. However, all in all, there was still a harvest.

Right now, Yuyouna's contact was very likely that City Lord Shier Yin wanted to take a risk. Su Xiao picked up the communication, and the opposite side came:

"Mr. Saint Soul, do you have time now?"

"No time."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the secretary Yuyouna on the opposite side said: "It's like this, Mr. Saint Soul, I have a commission here and would like to invite you."

Speaking of this, Yuyouna on the opposite side lowered her voice, as if afraid of others hearing: "The remuneration is very high."

It could only be said that she was worthy of being City Lord Shier Yin's most trusted secretary. If this was said in a serious way, it would have a sense of condescending charity, making the listener unhappy. Conversely, Yuyouna's youthful and playful manner, as if not letting others hear, that we were acquaintances, and that if there was something good she would definitely find you first, made it easier for people to have a good impression.

"It's not a matter of remuneration. I don't have time recently. By tomorrow at the latest, I will leave here and may never come back in the future. See you again if fate allows, Yuyouna."

After speaking, Su Xiao was about to hang up the communication, and the communicator came: "Wait, wait!"

"......"

Su Xiao didn't speak, nor did he hang up the communication. Yuyouna on the opposite side said: "Mr. Saint Soul, can you tell me where you are? How about we meet?"

"......"

Su Xiao still didn't speak, as if considering and hesitating.

"It's almost noon, let's meet at the Pinecone Restaurant. I've booked a table, you just take the time to come over. No matter where you are, you have to eat lunch. Xiguang City has convenient transportation, it will delay you at most 10 minutes, ah no, 20 minutes."

After hearing this, Su Xiao thought for a few seconds and replied: "Okay, see you at the restaurant."

Hanging up the communication, Su Xiao had already determined that it was City Lord Shier Yin who wanted to entrust him to treat the exotic flowers and trees that had "rare soul energy". As for why he kept pushing back, this was just the beginning, and he would have to refuse a few more times to be safe.

People all have a habit: if it is help that falls from the sky, the first thing they think of is definitely not gratitude, but vigilance, such as whether this is a scam, whether this has a trap, etc. Conversely, if it is cooperation achieved after great effort and being refused many times, and holding on until the end, then there will definitely be no doubts.

There is a saying that heaven never invites actively, only hell will beckon. But if hell starts to play hard to get, it can only be said that this is why old schemers are terrifying.

At noon that day, inside the Pinecone Restaurant two streets away from the Central Building, this restaurant was not luxurious, which was why it was good for closing the distance. This atmosphere was like inviting a friend for a casual meal, not formal, making it easier to reach cooperation.

Inside the private room, Yuyouna fully demonstrated her negotiation ability. However, she felt that her eloquence, which she thought was quite good, met a man today who always had a smile on his face but kept ruthlessly refusing, which left Yuyouna helpless.

However, after City Lord Shier Yin walked into the private room and offered remuneration that Su Xiao couldn't refuse, Su Xiao considered for half a minute before finally nodding and agreeing to the matter. However, he also set conditions: he would leave tomorrow, he didn't have much time to stay in this world, and he would start treating the Soul Holy Tree this afternoon, and he didn't guarantee follow-up treatment, after all, he was about to leave this world.

Su Xiao guessed that there were exotic flowers and trees in Xiguang City from the refreshing lingering fragrance of "rare soul energy", but he didn't expect it to be the "Soul Holy Tree". In the ranking of expectations for soul delicacies, the Soul Holy Tree ranked ninth.

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao sat in the back seat of a car, with City Lord Shier Yin on the right and Yuyouna on the left. Although this was a good opportunity to kidnap Yuyouna, compared to being able to see the Soul Holy Tree, this matter had to be postponed.

The material of this car was special. With the perception Su Xiao showed as a Summoner, his perception couldn't penetrate the vehicle, so he would occasionally look out the car window. Acting required attention to detail; being brought into such a vehicle, appearing calm would be suspicious instead.

"Mr. Saint Soul, we are going to the City Bank, you don't need to worry, we really have no malice."

Yuyouna spoke to comfort him. Su Xiao turned his head to look at Yuyouna. What a good child. I'll kidnap you later, I'll tell Amu to tie you loosely.

When the vehicle stopped at the main entrance of the City Bank and they just entered the City Bank after getting off, Su Xiao saw two teams of security personnel. Under the escort of one of the security teams, the group arrived at a single room at the innermost part of the first floor that could be called vault-level. Inside this room, there was only one elevator door, and it was entirely an old-fashioned mechanical structure, a product of two eras compared to the luxurious elevator in the bank lobby just now.

Riding the elevator, several security personnel pulled the iron gate, and the elevator began to descend. After estimating a descent of at least several thousand meters, the elevator paused and stabilized. The group walked out of the elevator, and the scene before their eyes was like a dream fairyland. Various colored light insects flew, flowers and plants that emitted pale white fluorescence grew on the ground, and there were light and dark changes when stepped on. Several small birds with gorgeous feathers flew past and landed on a rare small tree.

The five security personnel around all had pseudo-absolute combat power. The so-called pseudo-absolute combat power was unique to Lieyang Star. Blood beasts, moon beasts, mad beasts, etc., that went out at night, had their hearts gathered with distorted solar power. By absorbing this kind of "beast heart" to advance rapidly, they were called pseudo-absolute. Although they had power, they were generally short-lived, with a peak period of only less than 10 years. Starting from absorbing the "beast heart", the remaining lifespan was only about 12-13 years.

However, the security captain among them indeed had the strength of the initial stage of a true absolute. With the comprehensive combat power of Su Xiao's summoner disguise, he would definitely be crushed by the security captain. As for if they really fought...

The group walked along the winding path in this underground space for a few minutes, and a Soul Holy Tree, which was more than ten meters high overall, with a translucent trunk and drooping branches revealing a pale blue soul color, appeared ahead.

Originally, this Soul Holy Tree, which had a soul-like ethereal and psychedelic beauty, was now floating with very faint black smoke. Seeing this scene, City Lord Shier Yin's brows furrowed even deeper.

Everyone's appreciation is different. This state of the Soul Holy Tree fell into Su Xiao's eyes, and it couldn't be more suitable. If the Soul Holy Tree in a normal state belonged to food ingredients, then the current Soul Holy Tree was like a delicacy that had been marinated and then properly cooked, retaining the original taste of the delicacy, and also having a bit of natural freshness brought by coarse salt. In addition, the Soul Holy Tree was not wood material, but more like the texture of fresh bamboo shoots.

"Saint Soul, is there a way to dispel the dark aura of the Soul Holy Tree?"

City Lord Shier Yin spoke. Hearing this, Su Xiao pondered for a while and shook his head.

"You have no way?"

"The distance is too far, perception is not clear. You expect a Summoner to have how strong perception?"

Although a delicious delicacy was in front, acting still required controlling the details.

Hearing Su Xiao's words, City Lord Shier Yin felt secretly embarrassed. But if she got closer, she would enter the barrier range. While she was hesitating, Su Xiao said:

"I see this Soul Holy Tree continue like this, there is no big problem, at least there is no risk of withering. In my opinion, you should find a more professional soul plant therapist. I am good at treating the souls of living beings, although I can also try to treat this Soul Holy Tree, but after all, it is not the most professional."

Su Xiao's attitude was clearly that the situation of the Soul Holy Tree was not good. Encountering such a tricky matter, of course, one should not cause trouble if one could, and there were important things waiting for him to do.

Seeing Su Xiao's attitude, City Lord Shier Yin was not worried but happy. She was most afraid of encountering that kind of person who didn't have much ability but dared to take on everything, and ended up messing everything up. Instead, it was this cautious Saint Soul who, even if he couldn't cure it, would leave room for not being able to cure it.

After pondering for a while, City Lord Shier Yin took off the ring on her index finger and threw it out. The barrier in front opened, and the group approached to within five meters of the Soul Holy Tree.

"Saint Soul, how is it, can it be treated?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, it would be a lie to say she wasn't happy. City Lord Shier Yin didn't show it, but asked: "To what extent can it be treated?"

"Radical cure."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, City Lord Shier Yin was stunned for a moment, and then her pupils shrank violently.

Boom!!

Scarlet blood energy erupted, forming a huge blood beast behind Su Xiao. This blood beast opened its huge mouth and bit towards the Soul Holy Tree.

Puchi~!

The sap of the Soul Holy Tree trunk splattered everywhere, and the surrounding ground, air, and ceiling were all covered with holy tree sap. The blood beast tilted its head and swallowed the entire Soul Holy Tree in one bite, leaving only less than 10 centimeters of the bottom tree root. The so-called radical cure, it seems... there was nothing wrong with it.

Starry soul sap splattered on City Lord Shier Yin's cheeks, coupled with her pupils shrunk to the extreme, this City Lord had never been so uncomposed in her life.

The blood beast chewed the Soul Holy Tree and then swallowed it. Because of the texture and taste of this delicious delicacy, the blood beast bared its sharp fangs and grinned. There was still some Soul Holy Tree sap left between its teeth, and the blood beast's tongue licked it, not wasting this sweet soul sap.

In the center of the raging blood energy was Su Xiao, whose pupils revealed a bit of red light and whose disguise passive was lifted.

"Kukulin... Bai Ye!!"

City Lord Shier Yin stared at Su Xiao. This City Lord, who only had the physique of an ordinary person, actually had no fear or retreat when facing Su Xiao's blood energy.

Why did she know the other party had no fear? The blood beast with full blood energy could smell the unique smell of fear.

Not to mention City Lord Shier Yin's anger, the surrounding security personnel were really brave. They rushed towards Su Xiao fiercely, their weapons aimed not at the throat, but at the heart.

Su Xiao raised his hand, palm facing up, and this hand gripped virtually. The next second, several muffled sounds, the four pseudo-absolutes in the blood energy exploded into blood on the spot. Their blood instantly formed blood spears, piercing the body of the security captain from all directions.

Pa~!

Su Xiao snapped his fingers to detonate, and all the blood spears exploded with a bang. The blood splattered in the air hadn't even flown away when it was gathered and compressed under his control, forming a black blood core the size of a marble, which blasted out in a straight line, killing a completely invisible guard.

A little bit of blood appeared and spread in the air, and the scene that followed was the scene of an invisible man being pierced through the center of his eyebrows, and him falling to the ground with a thud.

Su Xiao looked to one side, and a black residual shadow that was attacking at super high speed stopped abruptly. This assassin looked at Su Xiao. This was the most wrong and terrible act in his life.

"King's Crown, Full Rating, World-Class Equipment, Equipment Effect 2: Malicious Gaze (Core, Passive): When killing intent emerges in your heart and you stare into the eyes of a target, the target will bear huge psychological pressure and mental damage, receiving "True Mental Damage" equal to your true willpower difference x 52.6 times per second, and accompanied by "Immobilization" and "Line of Sight Lock" effects that the target absolutely cannot lift, until this target dies."

Su Xiao raised his hand, used his middle finger and index finger to clamp the long-toothed blade that had stabbed to the side of his neck, and flipped it casually. This weapon was already held in his hand, and he gradually stabbed it into the assassin's neck calmly and cruelly until it pierced through the back of the neck.

"You'd better kill me too, otherwise I will fight you to the death."

City Lord Shier Yin said so, not to provoke or save face, but to indicate that if Su Xiao wanted to blackmail Xiguang City for any benefits by kidnapping her, that was impossible, she had a backup plan.

"Is that so? How terrifying."

Su Xiao didn't intend to kill City Lord Shier Yin. The reason was, if he didn't kill her, how could this City Lord, who could develop Xiguang City to such prosperity, put Xiguang City in danger? In the end, she would definitely endure it. If he killed City Lord Shier Yin, that would be a head-on war with Xiguang City. At that time, he could only raze this big city to the ground. Whether it was from the loss of time or the benefits obtained, it was not worth the loss.

The Law-Extinguishing Teleportation Array formed under Su Xiao's feet. City Lord Shier Yin, whose mentality had collapsed a bit and hadn't fully recovered, said: "You are just leaving like this? Don't want to say something?"

City Lord Shier Yin's tone was already calm, without the anger just now.

"Thank you for the Holy Tree lunch you treated me to, it was delicious."

After speaking, the Law-Extinguishing Teleportation Array started with a thud, leaving City Lord Shier Yin, whose mentality had exploded again and was so angry she was taking deep breaths. She didn't look back and asked: "Yuyouna, are you okay? Yuyouna, Yuyouna?"

City Lord Shier Yin looked back, and there was nothing behind her.

At this moment, a modified steam car was speeding on the main street. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was in the driver's seat, which made the vehicle speed all the way, plus drifting. Baha was in the passenger seat, and Amu was in the back seat. As for Yuyouna, she was in the 'VIP seat' trunk, in an orange sack customized for her.

When the vehicle stopped, Yuyouna felt someone pick up the sack she was in. Her mouth was tied, and she made woo-woo struggling sounds. An hour later, in the basement of the gemstone workshop, an incandescent lamp hung from the ceiling. Yuyouna, who was tied to a wooden chair and had her eyes covered, was extremely anxious. The last scene she saw was a muffled sound, and when she was a bit clearer, she was already in the orange sack.

Just then, someone dragged the wooden chair over and placed it opposite Yuyouna. The person sat down. Soon, Yuyouna felt someone come behind her and take off her blindfold. As soon as she opened her eyes, she turned her head and closed her eyes because the light was dazzling. After adapting for a while, she looked at the man opposite, and suddenly felt that the more she looked, the more familiar he was.

Recalling carefully, this seemed to be the notorious villain, Law-Extinguisher Kukulin Bai Ye, ah. It's over.

Yuyouna looked around and saw Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha. Smart as she was, she immediately combined the Saint Soul Master and Law-Extinguisher Kukulin Bai Ye into one person, guessing that the Saint Soul Master was a fake identity.

"I trusted you so much, I won't let you succeed, no matter what you want to do."

"......"

Su Xiao didn't speak. The quiet atmosphere made Yuyouna want to cry. She finally couldn't hold on and asked: "What... what is your purpose?"

Baha landed on Su Xiao's shoulder: "You are a notarized Xiguang City faction unit, so I'm looking for you to submit a few commission tasks."

"Ah?!"

Yuyouna was stunned. In her ignorant big eyes, there was all confusion about the sinister world, and confusion and bewilderment about using a siege cannon to bomb a sparrow, and she being the sparrow.

As one of the two faction units notarized by the Tree of Void for the Xiguang City faction, Yuyouna had of course encountered many Apocalypse Paradise and Holy Light Paradise Qiyuezhe coming to her to submit tasks. Her impression was that Qiyuezhe from the Apocalypse Paradise faction were polite and wealthy, and there were many young ladies from Holy Light Paradise, it was just that a very small part of the beautiful young ladies looked mentally abnormal.

Su Xiao opened the task list and chose to submit the following tasks:

1. Side Task: Gods (Completed).

2. Side Task: Noble Leader (Completed).

3. Side Task: Hunting Shield Gun (Completed).

4. Side Task: Extremely Dark Nest (Completed).

After choosing to submit, he received a prompt.

【Prompt: The faction unit of the task you submitted refuses to participate in this notarization. Without both parties participating in the notarization, the task cannot be submitted.】

"I won't give in."

Yuyouna said the toughest words with the most cowardly expression.

"Is that so? Then I'll go find Shier Yin."

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, he received a prompt that the task was submitted successfully.

【Prompt: Completing the above tasks, you obtained a total of 7.95 million Moon Silver Coins.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao asked Amu to untie Yuyouna. This was very terrifying in Yuyouna's perception; she felt she was going to be silenced.

After untying, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Yuyouna stared at each other. After holding on like this for half a minute, Su Xiao cast a suspicious look and asked: "Why don't you leave?"

"Ah? Can I leave?!"

Yuyouna was completely stunned.

"......"

Su Xiao didn't speak, which made Yuyouna immediately turn and leave. She had only walked two steps when it came from behind.

"Wait."

"!"

Yuyouna's footsteps stopped. She almost shed crystal tears. The enemy was both cunning and cruel, giving her hope and then making her despair.

"The nearest bus station is more than 10 kilometers away from here, you can drive away."

Su Xiao picked up the car keys on the table and threw them to Yuyouna. Yuyouna was completely stunned. After a few seconds, she changed from her previous tension and walked out of the basement quite calmly. Also because she didn't eat her fill at lunch, she was a bit hungry, so she took a bag of wild nuts in the kitchen of the gemstone workshop.

As for why Yuyouna's courage suddenly soared, she had experienced too many ups and downs today, so she just let it go, whatever happens, happens. She had seen through it; fate could be so clever that it made people doubt life. There were even people who kidnapped the NPC who issued the task to submit the task. Sitting in the driver's seat of the vehicle, Yuyouna chewed the nuts in her mouth and suddenly felt that these nuts were really delicious, worthy of being wild nuts that were hard to buy in stores.

Dusk City, Inner City, inside Su Xiao's temporary residence.

Sitting on a single sofa, he glanced at the time and felt he should go to the Great Library to find the Hand of Destiny, Ashwis. The other party had helped enhance his fortune for so long, which must have been very hard. However, the "Power Fragment" hadn't been synthesized yet, and the other party had to persist for a while longer. This trip to Xiguang City was so smooth, which must be due to the convenience brought by the other party's enhancement.

【Prompt: Power Lord (Nourishing Type, Eternal Grade Equipment) has absorbed enough natural power in this world. You can use this equipment to convert the world power absorbed and stored this time into a "Power Fragment". There are a total of three types of "Power Fragments".】

1. Power Fragment: Crimson......

2. Power Fragment: Darkness......

3. Power Fragment: Soul Will......

Maximum number of "Power Fragments" you can absorb: 2/6 pieces.

Activating the nourishing equipment 【Power Lord】, a huge amount of world power surged out from 【Power Lord】, gathered and compressed in front, golden light appeared, and it became more and more dazzling, finally becoming rich enough to turn into dazzling gold, forming a dazzling golden power fragment.

【You obtained Power Fragment: Soul Will.】

【Power Fragment: Soul Will (World-Class Wonder): After absorbing this power fragment, your willpower attribute will be enhanced by your own soul strength.】

It could only be said that it was worthy of being a nourishing equipment at the peak of Eternal Grade equipment. But with Su Xiao's 1130 points of soul strength, this "Power Fragment: Soul Will" was unlikely to raise his willpower attribute to this level.

Currently, the 569 points of true willpower attribute could be raised to over 800 points, which was already a huge improvement. Don't forget, after the Black King Armguard was upgraded again, it no longer had the effect of nourishing willpower attribute. In addition, true willpower attribute could not be improved in the attribute enhancement chamber. Subsequent improvements to true willpower could only depend on luck, or buying "Eternal Grade, Nourishing Type Equipment" with willpower characteristics.

Very few people were willing to sell this kind of equipment; they usually used it themselves. Any ability system wouldn't mind having a high willpower attribute. In addition, even if someone was willing to sell, the price would be particularly high.

To what extent it could be improved this time, the subsequent true willpower would stay at this level for a long time. Su Xiao held the "Power Fragment: Soul Will" with one hand and crushed it to absorb it. The next second, his eyes went black.

When Su Xiao opened his eyes, it was already the next morning. As soon as he woke up, he felt a splitting headache. After drinking a few bottles of alchemy secret medicine to nourish his spirit, the splitting headache subsided. He checked his own data.

Strength: 732 points.

Agility: 732 points.

Stamina: 777 points.

Intelligence: 732 points.

Charm: -27 points.

Luck: 97 points.

Soul Strength: 1130 points.

Abyss Resistance: 93 points.

Lightning Attribute Resistance: 674 points.

Elemental Affinity: 1290 points.

True Willpower: 986 points.

This improvement was outrageous? Not at all. The current situation was that Su Xiao not only absorbed the "Power Fragment: Soul Will", but his nourishing equipment 【Power Lord】 and 【Origin Stone: Slow Motion】 had both disappeared.

Fundamentally, 【Power Lord】 was a strength-type nourishing equipment, so its characteristics and notarized attributes were all inclined in this direction. And the "Power Fragment: Soul Will" that appeared was more like a conventional enhancement for strength-type ability users. In 99% of cases, strength-type ability users had soul strength lower than willpower attribute.

This situation was, for example, 100 points of soul strength, 200 points of willpower, which was soul strength x 50% = 50 points, which was an increase of 50 points of willpower.

The problem was, Su Xiao was not a pure strength type. What was even more fatal was that 【Power Lord】 required 800 points of strength attribute to wear. He successfully wore this "nourishing equipment" when his true strength attribute was 634 points through "Blood-Bathing Mad Demon".

According to the bonus of "Power Fragment: Soul Will", it was soul strength 1130 points x 50% = 565 points, and then 565 points + the current 569 points of true willpower attribute = 1134 points, which was 4 points higher than his soul strength.

Such an outrageous improvement couldn't be achieved by "Power Fragment: Soul Will" alone. The problem was, as an improvement of top-tier equipment "nourishing equipment", it was not just an improvement, but also corresponding notarization.

The judgment of notarization was that this improvement had to be completed, and "Power Fragment: Soul Will" had no possibility of achieving this point. According to notarization, it had to be filled. Therefore, under the secondary notarization of Reincarnation Paradise, 【Power Lord】, which was the source of "Power Fragment: Soul Will", and 【Origin Stone: Slow Motion】 in the idle slot of the equipment bar, were extracted.

This formed a "Super Power Fragment: Soul Will". For this, Reincarnation Paradise consumed a total of 85,000 ounces of space-time power to complete this improvement.

What was even more dangerous was that absorbing this "Super Power Fragment: Soul Will", saying it was ten deaths and no life was an exaggeration, but it was definitely extremely dangerous. If it weren't for Su Xiao mastering many types of Law-Extinguishing abilities, he might have died because of this. It could only be said that wearing "nourishing equipment" in advance and enjoying the improvement that could only be triggered at the Supreme level was really cool, but the risk was also particularly high.

Thinking about it this way, this improvement was not outrageous. You know, this was applying the improvement for the Supreme level to the Absolute level. In addition, the high-risk wearing method also triggered a notarization chain reaction.

If possible, Su Xiao really wouldn't choose to improve true willpower attribute this way. The subsequent strong enemies he had to fight in this world didn't have a key role for 986 points of true willpower attribute. Instead, the 3 "Power Fragments" that could be absorbed later would undoubtedly greatly improve combat power. If he died in this world, let alone true willpower reaching an astonishing 986 points, higher would have no meaning.

But if viewed from a long-term perspective, let alone 3 "Power Fragments", even 10 "Power Fragments" were not as good as 986 points of true willpower attribute.

Su Xiao felt that such a high willpower attribute could be considered to have the qualification to face the future strong enemy, the God of the Underworld, but it was only a qualification.

Closing the personal data, Su Xiao found another problem, which was that he already owed Reincarnation Paradise 85,000 ounces of space-time power, and had to repay it within three world progresses. This was because his Reincarnation Paradise reputation was high. If it weren't for the 75,920 points of Reincarnation Paradise reputation, he really couldn't trigger the pre-borrowing judgment notarization of Reincarnation Paradise.

The problem now was that if he couldn't pay off the huge debt of 85,000 ounces of space-time power within three world progresses, for every world progress that passed later, there would be an additional 8.5% delayed repayment fee.

Closing the relevant prompts, Su Xiao checked the skill list. The "rare soul energy" obtained by devouring the Soul Holy Tree was converted into non-attribute nourishing energy by the Devouring Core. After being absorbed by the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy, his Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability was upgraded from Lv. 94 to Lv. 95. At this level, the difficulty of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying improvement soared.

It seemed that after reaching Lv. 95, a bottleneck was broken. In addition, Su Xiao absorbed a lot of energy from the "First Generation Finger Bone", which filled the upper limit potential of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying. Up to now, his absorbing "First Generation Finger Bone" couldn't improve the upper limit of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy, and could only permanently improve his own mana upper limit.

【Green Qing Qing Gang Ying: Lv. 95 (Active/Passive Skill)】

Usage condition: After opening the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability, consume 4600 points of mana per minute (increase by 500 points).

Active effect: Each melee attack will burn 6260 points of mana from the enemy (increase by 1000 points, this improvement has obtained the enhancement of "Limiter, Passive"), and cause true damage equal to burned mana x 1.8 times (base 11268 points + 400 true damage + Zhan Long Shan improvement 50% + Green Shadow King improvement 30% + Swift Shadow improvement 40% = 24503 points of true damage). The enemy will bear intense pain after mana burning.

Defensive form: Proud Song (Active), can generate crystal defense in any form to defend against enemy attacks. Crystal strength is directly proportional to the mana consumed. The upper limit of single mana consumption is 15,000 points, and the crystal layer defense level + 11.

Combat form: Limiter (Passive), Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability mana consumption increases by 5 times, and burned mana increases by 2 times.

"Combat Form: Limiter" was a branch ability of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying that Su Xiao mastered through the Stele of Awakening. It could only be said that it was worthy of being a branch ability qualified to be recorded on the Stele of Awakening. This ability made the subsequent growth of the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying skill increase by one time.

Starting from Lv. 95, the improvement brought by each level of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying might be incremental, because this was the most core and final stage improvement of the Law-Extinguishing system. It was not outrageous to have this degree of improvement range. It would be abnormal if it didn't. If the ability system wasn't strong enough, why could the Law-Extinguishing Shadow represent an era of the Void?

Glancing at the time, he couldn't let the Hand of Destiny, Ashwis, wait too long. Therefore, Su Xiao had to complete the last thing during this period. He took out the 【Lucky Item Treasure Chest】 obtained through the Ancient Flying Dragon task and opened this thing.

For the top-tier lucky item, Su Xiao was still looking forward to it. He hoped that this top-tier lucky item wouldn't be like the Holy Snake in 【Holy Snake Protection】, every time it was taken out to absorb bad luck, it was in a state of performing an explosion and death at any time, and not a few seconds after being taken out, the Holy Snake turned from a small snake shape into a pufferfish, and a pufferfish that had already been inflated.

【You have opened the Lucky Item Treasure Chest.】

【You obtained Holy Ancient Elf (Lucky Item/Highly Rare Special Equipment).】
