Chapter 3925: New Member
Outside the Fog of Annihilation, Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baja walked across the Barren Lands. The once-desolate land was filled with the wailing of wind and sand. Adjacent to the Green Lush Great Wetland, and with the special Abyss passage in that wetland unable to be closed, the originally dim yellow wind and sand of the Barren Lands had transformed into a black sandstorm resembling iron filings.
Although the few members of the Void Banquet were not afraid of this harsh climate, they inevitably felt inconvenienced by being covered in black sand every time they came. Because of this, during the last Void Banquet, they discussed whether to move the Starry Sky Seat elsewhere.
But now, the sky, which had been covered in black clouds, was rarely clear. The black sandstorm was gone, and only a faint yellow wind and sand could be seen in the distance, which was quite atmospheric.
As a master of top-tier Abyss studies, Su Xiao naturally knew why this was: the special Abyss passage in the Green Lush Great Wetland had been sealed, which allowed the situation in the adjacent Barren Lands to improve.
One didn't need to think to know that it was the "Dark Moon Star Ring" brought back to the Arcane Eternal Star by the Daughter of Nature, Ailukelu, that had taken effect.
The sealing of this special Abyss passage would inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions. First, the major factions of the Void would begin to settle down. The Demon race and the Feather race, who had been eager to try before, would inevitably cease their activities, and other neutral major factions would certainly be even more restrained.
The subsequent period of time should be the most stable period for the Void since the end of the Law-Extinguishing Era.
However, this felt more like a sign of impending disaster. Although the "Dark Moon Star Ring" had temporarily sealed that special Abyss passage, the ratio of Abyss to elements had reached the level of 8 parts Abyss to 2 parts elements. In the Second Era, when the Spellcaster faction rose, the ratio of elements to Abyss was at most 3 parts Abyss to 7 parts elements. In comparison, this current imbalance was even more severe.
Just as Su Xiao was walking toward the entrance of the Void Banquet, the space near him suddenly fluctuated. A figure wearing a tattered long gown, with skin revealing a somewhat woody texture amidst its aged appearance, appeared. It was the Undead Old Man. He wore a tattered hood, and any environment enveloped by his aura became decayed and ancient. Even space was eroded into black holes, dripping with black water.
The Undead Old Man's expression was numb. Seeing Su Xiao not far away, he nodded slightly. Or rather, apart from Su Xiao, who often provided him with rare potions, and the Leader, the Undead Old Man basically ignored others.
Su Xiao providing the Undead Old Man with rare secret medicines was a win-win situation. Sometimes, the permanent buff potions he concocted were too potent; with his physique, drinking them might lead to death due to the extreme and violent nature of the buffs. The Undead Old Man didn't care about this at all; in fact, the "Extreme Dark Concentrated Secret Medicine," which was a lethal poison to others, became a nourishing delicacy for him.
The space nearby fluctuated again, and the Blade Demon appeared. The Blade Demon glanced at Su Xiao, then at the Undead Old Man. Just like that, the three of them walked silently toward the entrance of the Void Banquet.
If time were turned back an hour, the Starry Sky Seat would still be empty. The surrounding walls were composed of gray fog, and in the center was an ancient stone round table with a diameter of about five meters, surrounded by eight chairs of varying sizes, depending on the physique of each member.
Seat No. 0 belonged to the Black Fog Figure. He was the host and transaction arbiter of the Starry Sky Seat. In the past, he was trapped within the Starry Sky Seat. After the three unscrupulous old fogies gathered, Marwen Waltz and the Old Law-Extinguisher found a way to help the Black Fog Figure escape. Thus, the Black-Hearted Old Grandpa combination appeared.
On Seat No. 0 was a scale mark, representing the Black Fog Figure's identity as an arbiter.
Seat No. 1 belonged to the Blade Demon. It wasn't that he was the strongest in the Starry Sky Seat; the strongest now was the Leader. Interestingly, the Leader was formerly the holder of the 【Starry Sky Ring (1)】, but to lure the Blade Demon into the Starry Sky Seat, he gifted this 【Starry Sky Ring】 to the Blade Demon.
On Seat No. 1 was the Free Demon Spirit mark, which looked like a human figure, but with arms spread, gradually transforming into two black wings.
Seat No. 2 belonged to the Leader, represented by a metal mask with a missing corner. However, the mask the Leader usually wore was complete, and it was unknown if this mask with a missing corner had any special meaning.
Seat No. 3 belonged to the Undead Old Man, represented by a mark that looked like coral, dense elk antlers, or perhaps had other meanings.
Seat No. 4 belonged to the White Cow, represented by a skull of the King of Beasts wearing a crown. However, this crown was embedded into the skull of the King of Beasts. As long as this Black Emperor crown was stripped away, the King of Beasts would surely die. This fit the White Cow's situation well; losing his status as the underground Black Emperor, his massive number of enemies would surely leave him with no place to die.
Seat No. 5 belonged to Su Xiao, represented by a black ring mark. Until entering the Blazing Sun Star, he didn't know what this black ring represented. It wasn't until the Abyss-grade equipment "Endless Ring" completed its promotion that he discovered the mark on his seat at the Starry Sky Seat was exactly the same as the "Endless Ring."
One didn't need to think to know that the Leader knew an extremely powerful diviner. Su Xiao was prepared to ask the Leader for an introduction, but the Leader seemed to know that Su Xiao had harmed quite a few diviners, and that powerful diviner was a good friend of the Leader, so it was basically impossible for the Leader to introduce them to Su Xiao.
Seat No. 6 belonged to the Saintess, represented by a sleeping vortex mark. This represented the Saintess's sleeping reincarnation ability. In the past, the Saintess would sleep once every 20 years, temporarily forgetting her "main account password," retraining a small account, returning to the appearance of a 7-year-old, and her mentality would also change to a certain extent.
When she returned to the age of 20, she would sleep for a period again. During the sleep, her strength would not only recover to its peak, but her limit strength would also increase slightly.
After obtaining the 【Starry Sky Inscription】, the Saintess locked her minimum age at 15, and the reincarnation time limit decreased from once every 20 years to once every 12 years, which could be called an epic enhancement.
Just when the Saintess thought she could firmly sit in the chair of the second-to-last combat power in the Starry Sky Seat, Su Xiao was promoted to Absolute Strength. This hit the Saintess like a bolt from the blue. Just as she was comforting herself that even if this guy Bai Ye was promoted to Absolute Strength so quickly, he would still need to accumulate after reaching Absolute Strength, however, at the end of the last world progress, when the Void Banquet was held, the Saintess found that she had once again become the mascot at the bottom of the Starry Sky Seat's combat power.
This stimulated the Saintess. After working hard for a few days, she decided to recruit a new member for the Starry Sky Seat. In this way, she wouldn't have to continue working hard, and she wouldn't be at the bottom of the Starry Sky Seat's combat power. It was simply perfect. I am truly a genius!
This time, the Saintess arrived very early, so early that even the Black Fog Figure hadn't arrived yet. She sat in the sixth seat, her expression solemn, and said to the newcomer in the seventh seat:
"Stay calm in a moment. Although your background is not small, your understanding of the outside world is not even as good as that of a 15 or 16-year-old new generation member of a big family. Do you understand?"
"Actually... it's not that bad. When I was at the Arcane Eternal Star, I had some understanding of the outside world."
The new member spoke with insufficient confidence.
"You're overthinking it. Those spellcasters wouldn't let you have too much understanding of the outside world. Besides, haven't you seen through the matter this time? Ever since those spellcasters verified that the 'Dark Moon Star Ring' could really seal the special Abyss passage, the Elemental faction, the Academy faction, and the Soul faction have all been too lazy to pay attention to you. No, wait, if it weren't for that old woman of the Arcane faction protecting you, you would have been dealt with long ago. Don't forget whose cells you were cultivated from. Wake up, you idiot."
The more the Saintess spoke, the more excited she became, while the new member's gaze gradually became suspicious of life.
That's right, the very unreliable Saintess actually recruited the disciple of the Arcane faction leader, Mage Sage Serphilia, Green Wei, into the Starry Sky Seat. Not to mention others, even the Saintess herself didn't expect things to develop so wonderfully.
First was Green Wei's background. She was cultivated by Mage Sage Serphilia using the cells of the Second Era Law-Extinguisher Green Gillian. Was Serphilia still missing Green Gillian? Of course not. Serphilia's greatest regret was not being able to personally destroy Green Gillian's soul.
Serphilia was responsible for Abyss-related matters at the Arcane Eternal Star. Coupled with the frequent opening of Abyss passages in recent years, even Serphilia began to be unable to withstand the pressure in this regard, so she decided to take a risk and use the methods of her former enemies to close the Abyss passages one by one.
The problem was that Serphilia had the method of the Law-Extinguishing faction to close Abyss passages, but this method was built on the premise of possessing Law-Extinguishing fortune. And this was the core reason for cultivating Green Wei.
The Arcane Eternal Star calculated everything, but didn't calculate that at the same time, a Samsara Paradise hunter obtained the inheritance of the Law-Extinguishing faction's abilities. As a true Law-Extinguisher, the Law-Extinguishing fortune naturally fell on Su Xiao. And as Green Wei, who only had the Law-Extinguishing physique but no Law-Extinguishing abilities, she didn't get a bit of Law-Extinguishing fortune.
This was also why, when they first met, Serphilia's hatred was fully drawn, and she insisted on killing Su Xiao. Serphilia was responsible for dealing with Abyss matters at the Arcane Eternal Star. How could such a powerhouse become so impulsive and unwise because of past grudges?
On the contrary, the resentment and revenge Serphilia showed after being dumped in a long-standing love affair didn't make others suspicious at all. What she really wanted to take was the Law-Extinguishing fortune; killing this Third Era Law-Extinguisher was just a process.
Just imagine, with a Law-Extinguishing physique and initially positioned as a tool person, would Green Wei's situation at the Arcane Eternal Star be very free?
The answer was of course no. Directly showing restrictions on Green Wei's freedom was obviously a bad strategy. On the contrary, identifying Green Wei as a genius and keeping her at the Arcane faction of the Arcane Eternal Star for cultivation was the best choice. Whether internally or externally, it could be said that this was a genius rarely seen in ten thousand years among spellcasters, so how could she go out casually? If something happened, it would be a loss that the Arcane Eternal Star couldn't bear.
What was even more seamless was that Green Wei really had spellcaster talent. She had a Law-Extinguisher physique, which meant an increasingly outrageous elemental affinity.
Green Wei, who was in the Arcane faction, was like a bird in a cage. She felt that her knowledge was fine, but after truly escaping from the cage of the Arcane Eternal Star, she found that the multi-armed jugglers on the roadside were novelties she had never seen before.
Thinking back carefully, from childhood to adulthood, she had only gone out a few times with her mentor Serphilia, and they were all to remote areas.
What really made Green Wei feel malice from the inside out was after the Daughter of Nature, Ailukelu, brought back the "Dark Moon Star Ring." As a customized tool person, when not needed, it was the beginning of welcoming destruction.
Green Wei was both unfortunate and lucky. When she was less than ten years old, she met the Saintess in her 13-year-old state after reincarnation. Their first meeting at the "Dawn Manor" of the Arcane Eternal Star ended with both of them bruised and swollen. One was the disciple of Mage Sage Serphilia, and the other was the eldest daughter of the Gil-Eryu family. Of course, there was no follow-up.
Looking at the entire Star Realm, the financial power of the Gil-Eryu family could rank in the top five. In this situation, the intersection between the Gil-Eryu family and the Arcane Eternal Star was certainly not small. The Saintess didn't like going to the Arcane Eternal Star at first. She felt that the spellcasters were too arrogant, even if most spellcasters hid it well, but the hardest thing to hide was arrogance.
After "getting to know" Green Wei, the Saintess took the initiative to propose going to the Arcane Eternal Star, which made the old fogies of the Gil-Eryu family very gratified. Their apple of their eye finally started to have some proper business.
However, these old fogies didn't know that the Saintess went to "take revenge." The Saintess and Green Wei fought a few times, and after becoming best friends, the Four-Eyed Hound, who was responsible for protection but actually monitored Green Wei all day, had bad luck.
The funniest time was when Green Wei and the Saintess were playing in the lake forest near "Silver Moon Lake." The Four-Eyed Hound found a tree to nap. Half an hour later, the Four-Eyed Hound was awakened by an object. When it opened its eyes in fear, a group of angry Poison-Winged Bees hovered beside the huge beehive that had cracked on the ground.
When an old undead from the Gil-Eryu family and Serphilia arrived, they saw the teary-eyed Green Wei, the Four-Eyed Hound whose mouth was swollen as thick as its neck, and the Saintess, who was tilting her head, one eye swollen shut, but with a face full of defiance.
Not long ago, the Saintess helped Green Wei escape from the Arcane Eternal Star. If it were anyone else, the Arcane Eternal Star wouldn't let it go, but the Saintess was the eldest daughter of the Gil-Eryu family. It wasn't that the Arcane Eternal Star was weaker than the Gil-Eryu family. As the overlord of the Void, the Arcane Eternal Star had the strength to destroy the Gil-Eryu family. It was a question of whether it was worth it and the price to be paid.
Soul's attitude was very clear: hand over the person within five days. The Gil-Eryu family's attitude was even clearer: the possibility of handing over the person was not high, but in terms of soul coins, it could still be discussed.
Speaking of which, Su Xiao saved Green Wei's life. In the situation where a true Law-Extinguisher was alive, whether Green Wei, who only had a Law-Extinguisher physique, died or not, didn't seem so important. She was not the only hidden danger, or rather, assuming her hidden danger was 3 points, then Su Xiao's hidden danger to the Arcane Eternal Star was at least 6,000,000 to 8,000,000 points.
In comparison, giving the Gil-Eryu family some face was obviously not a loss. The top-tier robe materials were provided for free by the Gil-Eryu family every year. This was not protection money; the Gil-Eryu family's strength didn't need to pay protection money to any faction. This was a gift to friends. Once they took action against the eldest daughter of the Gil-Eryu family, they would no longer be friends of the Gil-Eryu family. That would lose too much, so much that the spellcasters were unwilling to bear it.
Because of this upheaval, and the damage received during the pursuit, Green Wei, whose current strength was Ninth Tier, made the Saintess realize one thing: compared to the Son of the World she chose before, or the Wanderer Hunter successor, or the Hand of Destiny Ashvis, Green Wei was the excellent owner of the 【Starry Sky Ring (7)】.
"Saintess, you haven't told me that the Starry Sky Seat is a faction."
Hearing Green Wei's words, the Saintess was stunned for a moment, and then thought of Green Wei's situation at the Arcane Eternal Star before. She could actually popularize common sense about the outside world to the other party, but she didn't do so. Although she didn't have the IQ of an old schemer, she also felt that before her best friend left that invisible cage, the more the other party knew, the more dangerous the other party would be.
"Starry Sky Seat, cough~, of course it's a friendly faction. Look at my temperament, is it possible that I could join a Chaos faction?"
"Uh~, it seems, that's the case."
Green Wei's tone relaxed significantly. Having just escaped from the Arcane Eternal Star, she now just wanted to find a friendly faction to temporarily think about life and her subsequent plans.
At this moment, the Black Fog Figure gradually appeared in Seat No. 0. Seeing this mysterious existence and sensing the other party's vast and peaceful aura, Green Wei gradually felt relieved. As expected of her best friend, the faction she brought her to join was so friendly and generous.
The Black Fog Figure looked at Green Wei, and then was obviously stunned for a moment. His gaze turned to the Saintess.
"How is it? The new member I recruited, not bad, right?"
"Not bad, really, too not bad."
The Black Fog Figure spoke meaningfully, which made the Saintess feel puzzled.
The gray fog at the entrance surged, and the Leader walked into the Starry Sky Seat. Seeing Green Wei, his eyes showed some suspicion. After sitting down, he asked the Saintess:
"This is the new member you recruited?"
"Yeah, how is it? She's very good, whether it's character, background, or personality, they are all very good."
"Personality... very good."
The Leader's tone was meaningful, which made the Saintess even more puzzled. If it were just the Black Fog Figure, she wouldn't be particularly puzzled, but now the Leader was also like this.
"You guys arrived really early."
The White Cow walked over. After seeing the new member Green Wei, his footsteps paused as he reached the chair. He frowned and stared at Green Wei. After a moment, he sat down in confusion.
"What's the situation with you again?"
The Saintess couldn't hold it anymore and continued to ask: "Is there any problem with Green Wei? Although she comes from the Arcane Eternal Star, she is not a spellcaster..."
"It's not that problem, it's just that there is a kind of... hard-to-describe disharmony."
The White Cow frowned tightly. The Black Fog Figure and the Leader looked at him with smiles in their eyes. Discovering the gazes of these two guys, the White Cow had gradually discovered that things were not simple.
However, compared to the White Cow's suspicion, Green Wei's mentality was about to crack. Her inner activities at this time were:
'Didn't you say the Starry Sky Seat is a friendly faction? How come even the White Cow is here?!'
'Are the moral thresholds of friendly factions so open now?'
'Is this really a friendly faction?'
'Why is the feeling of being on a pirate ship so strong.'
'And, why is my feeling when facing the underground Black Emperor White Cow that facing Absolute Strength, I can destroy him with one hand?'
Green Wei knocked on her head with her hand. She felt that she was sick, suffering from a strange disease where her heart was particularly inflated, as if Absolute Strength was like a vegetable, the lower-middle level of Supreme Strength could be beaten with one hand, senior Supreme Strength could be fought casually, top-tier Supreme Strength could be kicked to death with one foot, and only peak Supreme Strength could fight with her.
Green Wei, whose feeling was becoming more and more intense, felt that she might have a disease like personality split, and, she often fell into a coma recently, and every time she fell into a coma for several days, what made her feel like she had seen a ghost was that every time she woke up from a coma, her strength would become stronger by a cut. The only reasonable explanation was that the Law-Extinguisher physique was really strong.
Just when Green Wei was still doubting life and what kind of friendly faction she had joined, Su Xiao, the Blade Demon, and the Undead Old Man walked into the Void Banquet one after another.
Seeing these three with terrifying auras, Green Wei was stunned. She immediately turned her head to look at her best friend, the Saintess. The Saintess coughed slightly, looking a bit embarrassed:
"Listen to me, would I harm you? The Starry Sky Seat is of course a friendly faction. As for the three of them, reputation is something that is mostly rumors sometimes. The three of them are essentially... still very easy to get along with."
The Saintess originally wanted to say that the three of them were essentially good people. When the words reached her lips, her conscience felt as if it had been hit by a sledgehammer, so she decisively changed her words.
Green Wei glanced at Su Xiao, then immediately looked away. She whispered to the Saintess beside her: "But, I saw with my own eyes that he detonated two sun bombs at the Arcane Eternal Star..."
"Just a confrontation between factions. Members of friendly factions also have tempers. Cough~, indeed the temper is a bit big."
Green Wei looked at the Undead Old Man and asked the Saintess in a low voice: "This old man, why do I feel that he seems so terrifying that he has eaten an Ancient God?"
"Ahahaha," the Saintess patted Green Wei's back with one hand and laughed: "How could anyone eat an Ancient God? Are you stupid? It's your hallucination."
"Is that so."
Green Wei murmured. She looked at the Blade Demon, then looked at the Saintess in the adjacent seat, as if asking, how do you round up this mad slaughter demon who has killed countless people in the Black Abyss?
"Green Wei, you have to know, the Black Abyss is the Blade Demon's home. He was for... for, okay, this is indeed not a friendly faction, but at most it can be considered a neutral faction."
The neutral faction was the Saintess's greatest concession and stubbornness, but this could not calm Green Wei's heart. She looked around at the few people sitting there. The uneasy mood of being pursued by spellcasters was no longer uneasy at this moment. She was terrified now.
"Everyone, what is your opinion on the new member?"
The Saintess looked around at the people present.
"Very good."
"Very good."
"Especially good."
The Leader, the Black Fog Figure, and the White Cow expressed their positions. The Blade Demon stared at Green Wei, seemingly recalling something. The Undead Old Man was silent and not prepared to participate in this discussion.
"..."
Su Xiao flipped through the email records that only he could see and didn't speak.
"Bai Ye?"
"As long as you don't regret it, it's fine."
Su Xiao's words made the doubt in the Saintess's heart reach the limit. She said angrily: "You guys, can you not speak halfway."
"..."
Su Xiao took out a bottle of elemental brew and threw it to Green Wei, which made Green Wei's gaze blank, not knowing what to do next. But in the next second, she gradually lowered her head, then raised her head, and her gaze had changed from confusion about the future to sharpness with a bit of willful laughter.
"Hmm? What's the situation here?"
Green Wei flicked the bottle cap with her thumb, looked up and drank it gulp by gulp, which stunned the Saintess beside her. She was surprised to find that her best friend seemed to have another personality.
"What are you looking at, little girl."
Green Wei looked at the Saintess with lowered eyelids. The Saintess widened her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly shivered because of Green Wei's gaze. A very bad feeling was transmitted from Green Wei to the Saintess. As the saying goes, the mask of pain did not disappear, it was just transmitted to the adjacent seat.
"You old guy didn't die either. But it's already the Third Era, how about we shake hands and make peace?"
Green Wei looked at the Black Fog Figure with a smile on her face.
"I knew it, it's you, the most evil female Law-Extinguisher in history."
"Fart! I am beautiful, kind-hearted, and have a gentle temper. Who are you saying is the most evil female Law-Extinguisher in history."
Green Wei looked like she was ready to throw the wine bottle in her hand at any time. Seeing this scene, the Black Fog Figure was convinced, that's right, it was that guy. But he then thought that this guy became a half-member of the Starry Sky Seat in this way, and the subsequent situation would be too interesting.
That's right, the one who came out now was Green Gillian. She never intended to occupy the magpie's nest for Green Wei. The reason why Green Gillian was only a half-member of the Void Banquet was because Green Wei, who possessed the 【Starry Sky Ring (7)】, was the true member of the Starry Sky Seat.
"It seems I should say, long time no see?"
The White Cow rubbed his forehead with a smile. He felt that the subsequent Starry Sky Seat would be more interesting, and he also had a headache when facing the most evil female Law-Extinguisher in history.
"Yaha, isn't this the defeated Blade Demon."
"..."
"What are you looking at, if you have the guts, let's have a one-on-one."
"..."
The Blade Demon stood up.
"You agree when I say one-on-one, your IQ really hasn't improved at all. Given that your IQ is too low, I unilaterally cancel this one-on-one."
"..."
Green Gillian changed the subject and asked: "By the way, over the years, have those spellcasters at the Arcane Eternal Star found trouble with you?"
"..."
"It seems not, I count them as still having some temperament."
Green Gillian looked at the Leader. She changed her previous attitude and said formally: "Hello."
Such an attitude was not because of the Leader's strength, but because of a deeper reason.
"Hello."
"It's a damn pity. If a guy like you had appeared in the Second Era, we would have definitely protected you. But how did you survive after you were defeated?"
Green Gillian changed her previous attitude. The Leader pondered for a while and didn't speak. The Black Fog Figure said: "He didn't count as defeated, it was a draw."
"Amazing, really amazing. Alright, I'm going back. Finally, you brat, where did you put my Madam Owl."
Green Gillian stared fiercely at Su Xiao. Su Xiao closed the email list and glanced at Green Gillian: "Ancient Battlefield."
"Tsk~, the Ancient Battlefield is too dangerous for Weiwei, but I really want to find Madam Owl. After so many years, I finally met a good cabbage, it's all your fault, you brat."
"..."
Su Xiao looked at Green Gillian. Green Gillian could only wave her hand and say: "Alright, my problem, my fault. Madam Owl is carrying out your commission, I won't go to harass her, okay? I'm going back."
Green Wei sat down and looked back. Then, she opened her eyes. This time she was sure that she did have another personality, and under the negotiation of this unknown personality, she opened the correct entry mode for the Starry Sky Seat.
"Everyone, since you're all here, why don't we have a trade?"
Baja on Su Xiao's shoulder spoke. The White Cow spread his right hand, indicating it was fine. The Leader, the Blade Demon, and the Undead Old Man didn't express their position, which was a default.
"Agreed."
The Saintess raised her hand. In this way, only Green Wei didn't express her position. Discovering this, she immediately raised her hand: "I, I also agree."
"Bai Ye, what do you need? What will you exchange with?"
The White Cow drank a sip of elemental brew and found that the quality of this fine wine had improved again.
"Overlord Essence, the bigger the better."
Everyone present said they didn't have this thing. The only one who didn't express his position was the Leader. He asked: "How many do you want?"
"A lot."
"I probably have more than 2000 left."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. Obviously, the "a lot" he said, the Leader understood as "a lot."
"I need 100."
Hearing this quantity, the Leader asked: "You haven't been promoted to Supreme Strength yet, what do you need so many Overlord Essences for."
"Strengthen Overlord equipment."
"You are covered in Overlord equipment? Why do you need so many Overlord Essence Souls?"
"Strengthen one piece."
"The success rate of strengthening Overlord equipment with Overlord Essence is over 90%. General Overlord equipment can be strengthened to +10, one piece at most 15 will..."
The Leader stopped here. He pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement and said: "For you, buying more is indeed a safe choice."
"2500 ounces of Space-Time Power, 100 pieces."
One Overlord Essence of the largest specification is worth 25 ounces of Space-Time Power.
"I'll give you 200."
After the Leader finished speaking, a few seconds later Su Xiao received an email. After opening it, the attachment inside was a material box, which contained 200 Overlord Essences. It seems the Leader is in urgent need of Space-Time Power recently.
Because the theme of this Void Banquet was not trading, it soon entered the elemental brew tasting stage. The Saintess also brought meals, which were said to be cooked by the private chef of the Gil-Eryu family. In terms of taste, there was no problem with it being on the "Ten Thousand Worlds Food Guide."
After the meal, in Green Wei's surprised and confused gaze, a cup of maple tea was placed on the table in front of her. Having seen the black maple tree at the Arcane Eternal Star with her own eyes, and knowing how precious black maple leaves were, her strange knowledge increased. It turned out that the tender leaves of the black maple tree could be used to stir-fry tea, and the tea fragrance had a unique experience of recalling the past.
Half an hour later, the Leader and others left one after another, leaving only Su Xiao and the Saintess. Su Xiao took out a stack of design drawings. These were all professional treatment tools needed for the "Sun Treatment Secret Method." Looking at the entire Star Realm, only the Tree Sage mastered the skill of manufacturing these professional treatment tools.
If Su Xiao visited in person, not being kicked out by the Tree Sage would be because this old man had a good temper. Since the Saint Flame Pharmacist became famous, the Tree Sage was not just a matter of lying down and being shot a few times; he was innocently lying there letting people strafe a few magazines. Letting the Saintess do it on his behalf and going to the Tree Sage to order these professional treatment tools was a better choice.
Having just drunk some elemental brew, the Saintess, whose face was slightly red, had a few strands of hair hanging down: "So, I have to run errands for nothing?"
"Yes."
"Alright, since you always treat me to maple tea, I'm willing to run errands for you. I'll go now."
"..."
Su Xiao took out a sealing scroll. The Saintess, who was just about to leave, was blocked by the scroll: "This is?"
"Show it to the old undead in your family."
"Hmm."
The Saintess changed from her previous laziness. After putting it away, she floated up. The Saintess always adhered to the principle of not taking an extra step if she could fly.
After Su Xiao left the Starry Sky Seat, he chose to return to the Samsara Paradise. When the space fluctuations subsided, he had returned to his exclusive room.
【Prompt: You have obtained the Golden Crown.】
【Golden Crown (Nightmare Strange Object · Unique): Can be sold to Samsara Paradise to obtain 100 Golden Skill Points.】
Su Xiao naturally chose to sell it. What he lacked most now was Golden Skill Points. He came to the room where the "Awakening Monument" was located, walked into the exclusive skill upgrade cabin, sat cross-legged on the carpet, opened the skill list, and chose to upgrade "Blood Sublimation · Life Soul: Lv. MAX (Technique Class · Passive)."
The three high-level technique passives corresponding to Blade Technique, Close Combat, and Blood Qi were only missing this one that hadn't been maxed out. With 7 Golden Skill Points, he chose to max out this ability. A vast golden power erupted in his body. If he hadn't mastered various Law-Extinguishing abilities, this would have been enough to make him fall into a dream.
Two hours later, Su Xiao, who was sweating profusely, let out a long breath of turbid air. His life force aura was vigorous to the extreme. If evil spirits or evil entities were beside him, they would be scorched to evaporation by this vigorous life force aura that he couldn't control for the time being.
A moment later, this vigorous life force aura converged, representing that he had gradually adapted to his current physique.
【Blood Sublimation · Life Soul: Lv. EX (Technique Class · Passive)】
Skill Effect 1: Blood Qi attack power increased by 1380% (increased by 400%).
Skill Effect 2: Maximum value of original life force increased by 72% (increased by 22%).
Prompt: Absolute Strength-level HP can reach a maximum of 3.5 million points.
Current maximum HP can reach: 6 million points.
Prompt: Absolute Strength-level HP "Absolute Limit" is 6 million points.
Skill Effect 3: Blood Qi potential tier +25 (increased by 6).
Skill Effect 4: Blood Spear Master upgrade cost +50%, upgrade effect +50% (this characteristic cannot be upgraded in any way).
Su Xiao's current HP was 3.79 million points. This quantity was enough to make a main tank of the same tier cry and look for rare job-transfer items. As a main tank, seeing a melee class of the same tier have 3.79 million HP, which was so outrageous, really made one want to cry out in grievance, "Why?"
However, 3.79 million HP was not Su Xiao's limit. He planned to accumulate his HP to 6 million points. In this way, when fighting strong enemies, it wouldn't be the three great sword bodies dying; he could at least withstand five great swords!
There were still 93 Golden Skill Points left. Su Xiao looked at "Perfect Block: Lv. 89" in the skill list and had a bold idea.
This skill was a divine skill after it perfectly fit him. He had a feeling that with his current combat power, the next world progress, which would arrive in a few days, would inevitably be extremely dangerous. His bold idea was to max out "Perfect Block: Lv. 89."
Regarding why not upgrade it level by level, based on his experience, if this type of ability is upgraded level by level, the final strength is slightly lower than maxing it out at once. The principle is that it allows the body to more deeply experience and remember this ability, turning it from ability memory into ability + muscle double memory.
Consuming a total of 16 Golden Skill Points, Su Xiao's vision went black, and he was sent into a dream by the Golden Skill Points.
When Su Xiao woke up, his stay in the Samsara Paradise was only one day left. He sat up from the bed. This was the double bed that Xiang Bubu carried him to in the corner after he entered the dream. Regarding why there was a big bed in this room used to upgrade abilities, this was experience.
【Perfect Block ability has been upgraded to Lv. 105, this ability has been promoted to Lv. EX.】
【Perfect Block: Lv. EX (Absolute Strength-level · Passive)】
Skill Effect 1: Blade Block (Passive), your parry with a blade weapon will trigger the "Body-Protecting Energy" brought by your technique ability, thereby making this parry a "Perfect Block." Each level of the basic technique ability you have mastered will increase the block correction by 2 points, now it is 562 points of block correction (if the enemy's attack impact force is not higher than your own true strength by 562 points, it will not be able to break the block).
Prompt: The cooldown of a perfect parry is 10 seconds (has been reduced to the shortest cooldown).
Prompt: After a successful perfect block, the shock damage you receive is reduced by 70% (increased by 25%).
Skill Effect 2: Extreme Perfection (Passive), after a successful perfect block, you will only consume 10% of the maximum body-protecting energy, and the perfect block ability cooldown will be refreshed immediately, instantly entering an available state. When you successfully perform ten consecutive perfect blocks, your body-protecting energy will be exhausted, causing the perfect block to enter a cooldown phase.
Prompt: The 10-second cooldown of the perfect block is the time required for you to recover from 0% body-protecting energy to 100% body-protecting energy.
Warning: If you are broken during a perfect block, the perfect block will enter a 10-second cooldown phase.
This upgrade of "Perfect Block" was not just a simple qualitative change. This ability was too compatible with the Technique Master, giving Su Xiao the qualifications to fight stronger enemies.
Looking at the remaining Golden Skill Points, he didn't plan to use them for the time being. The extent of this self-improvement was too great, and he had to slow down.
Opening Owl's letter, after Owl arrived at that "Nightmare Dungeon," he quickly took the Goddess of Luck and the Goddess of Fate to clear it. With the luck of these two, the probability of obtaining the "Golden Crown," which was less than 0.0001%, soared to 1000%.
Besides that, the Goddess of Fate also asked Owl to help bring a message: she wanted to work hard and become the strongest Goddess of Fate in history. If possible, she also wanted to conduct a divine blood trade with Su Xiao.
Simply put, the Goddess of Fate wanted to challenge the Evil God, obtain divine blood, and then come to Su Xiao. Through Su Xiao's temporary Devouring Core, she would filter, purify, and cleanse this divine blood into "Pure Divine Blood," and then the Goddess of Fate would convert 10 points of "Pure Divine Blood" into 2 drops of "Fate Divine Blood" at a ratio of 10:2, and then split it 50-50 with Su Xiao.
Su Xiao confirmed that 【Fate Master】 could absorb "Fate Divine Blood." For 【Fate Master】, absorbing "Fate Divine Blood" and "Luck Divine Blood" actually had no essential difference. It was just obtaining the power of fortune and luck, thereby enhancing and strengthening the origin of the equipment.
Calculated this way, the Goddess of Luck was passive, needing Su Xiao to provide "Pure Divine Blood" for her to have the opportunity to perform divine blood conversion. The Goddess of Fate was active, only needing Su Xiao to purify "Pure Divine Blood." Everything else, from defeating the Evil God to obtaining the impure divine blood, was covered by the Goddess of Fate.
Besides that, the difference between the two was that the Goddess of Luck's conversion ratio was high. At the current stage, 10 drops of "Pure Divine Blood" could be converted into 5 drops of "Luck Divine Blood." Because she was becoming more and more proficient, it wouldn't be long before 10 drops could be converted into 6 drops. The Goddess of Fate's conversion rate was a cut worse, 10 drops converted into 2 drops.
【Prompt: The Lord Train has completed this promotion.】
Su Xiao took out the start key of the Lord Train. After using the 【Scarlet Amplifier】 on it, he took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu to the eighth floor of the Land of Gods, and the hard training began.
When there were 2 hours left in the Samsara Paradise stay, Su Xiao activated the teleportation permission. Returning from the Land of Gods, which was like an ice field, to the trial ground, just after walking off the teleportation array, he saw Caesar waiting there.
"My dear friend, this matter you entrusted to me is really difficult for me to handle..."
"500 ounces of Space-Time Power."
"This time it's really difficult to handle."
"800."
"Even if it's difficult to handle, I have to handle it, for our friendship that is as solid as gold."
Caesar's tone was firm. Just like that, the two went to the Equipment Strengthening Hall together. It is worth mentioning that after being ejected from the Equipment Strengthening Hall last time, Caesar was only able to enter it in the last week.
After two upgrades with 【Scarlet Amplifier】 + 【Blood Fragment (Unique)】, the basic attributes of the "Lord Train" hadn't gained any improvement. In contrast:
"Equipment Effect 3: Seven-Tier Notarization (Core · Passive), because this equipment was in the First Era, the Sintis Dwarves successfully applied for the Seven-Tier Notarization of the Tree of the Void. After this equipment transformed into Overlord equipment, it lost the corresponding growth method. According to the notarization balance of Samsara Paradise, this Overlord equipment can be strengthened with 'Overlord Soul (Extra Large)', and the scarlet characteristic of 'Blood Fragment (Unique)' allows the strengthening load capacity of this equipment to be 'massively' increased.
Strengthening method: Samsara Paradise · Equipment Strengthening Hall, holding the train key...
Prompt: Because of the special nature of this strengthening, the strengthening limit is +32."
Even holding 200 "Overlord Essences," Su Xiao felt that he couldn't strengthen the "Lord Train" to +32. This exaggerated strengthening level, in the traditional equipment system, that is, Eternal-grade equipment, certainly wouldn't be like this. The strengthening judgment of Overlord equipment is relatively loose, which is why there is such an outrageous strengthening level.
The surroundings were noisy. Su Xiao and Caesar stood in front of the equipment strengthening machine. The start key of the "Lord Train" was already in the strengthening machine, and the Overlord Essences were all prepared. But Caesar was scratching his head and looking embarrassed. It could be seen that this time, wanting to strengthen the "Lord Train" to +32 was also extremely difficult for Caesar.
Theoretically speaking, Overlord equipment is not difficult to strengthen. If luck is to the extreme, only 32 Overlord Essences are needed to complete this strengthening. Su Xiao looked at Caesar, who was scratching his head, and had a countermeasure. He said:
"The remaining Overlord Essences from the strengthening belong to you."
Hearing this, Caesar's eyes were glowing green, like a lecherous jackal that had been hungry for half a month, seeing a large piece of fresh meat. He took out an ancient badge with the ф mark. The badge was already covered in cracks. After thinking about it, this guy gritted his teeth and took out two more ancient badges with the ф mark.
And on the opposite side, having just arrived not long ago, Gulu, who loved strengthening, naturally noticed Su Xiao and Caesar. She hesitated, exited the equipment from the equipment strengthening machine, and said to the Illusionist beside her: "Don't strengthen anymore."
"Hmm? What."
As the No. 4 of the Phantom Troupe, the Illusionist had a good relationship with Gulu. This time, he came to ask Gulu how to create a higher strengthening level at the lowest cost.
At first, everything was normal in the Equipment Strengthening Hall. After a few minutes, a treatment class with long wavy hair found that something was wrong. She had the habit of using low-quality equipment to increase the success rate of the equipment she wanted to strengthen. But this time, the low-quality equipment she strengthened actually appeared 21 consecutive failures at +1. She was stunned.
Before long, curses came one after another from the surroundings. Everyone who was +3 or higher was not affected, but those who had just strengthened to +1 or +2 and +3 had bad luck.
Amidst the wailing of strengthening, Caesar began to operate the equipment strengthening machine to strengthen the "Lord Train." The moment the "Lord Train" successfully reached +32, Caesar was ejected with a bang. It was unknown how long Caesar wouldn't be able to enter the Equipment Strengthening Hall after this time.
And letting Caesar help strengthen Checking Zhan Long Shan, Su Xiao would never make this choice. Equipment like the "Lord Train" that is strengthened to the full at once can be tricky, but the strengthening of Checking Zhan Long Shan needs to be accumulated little by little, and there can be no trickery.
Before Su Xiao could check the attributes of 【Lord Train +32】, a prompt appeared.
【Prompt: Your stay in Samsara Paradise has reached the limit. You can make the following choices.】
1. Return to the real world.
2. Enter one of several secondary real worlds.
【Choice completed, you are about to enter the secondary real world · Tianren Star. You can stay in this world for 5 natural days.】
Ten thousand words update presented. Actually, I wanted to update ten thousand words yesterday, but my cervical spondylosis flared up while writing yesterday. ===== CHAPTER 3926 =====
