Chapter 4002: Intuition

A question was placed before Xilin: whether to forcefully bear the contract penalty and leave this place. This thought lasted for less than two seconds before she gave it up. With a total of over 200,000 contract bindings, if she forcefully bore it, she might end up half-dead, and the various sequelae would be no different from having died several times.

The teleportation shimmer around Xilin dimmed. In the next second, a prompt appeared.

【Reincarnation Paradise Hunter Kukuline White Night invites you to join the Dawn Team. Do you agree to this invitation?】

Seeing this prompt, Xilin frowned slightly, but looking at the hunter's gradually "kind" smile in front, she could only bite the bullet and choose to agree.

【You have joined the Dawn Team. You will enjoy the following team skill bonuses.】

Team Skill 1: Leader's Power (Passive, Lv. EX): Team members' real strength, agility, stamina, and intelligence attributes receive a bonus based on the difference between their highest main attribute and the captain's main attribute × 25% (maximum increase of 85 points).

Current bonus: Real Strength +85 points, Real Agility +85 points, Real Stamina +85 points, Real Intelligence +52 points.

Team Skill 2: Thunder Breath Blessing (Passive, Lv. EX): Improve physique with active lightning. After triggering this ability, permanently increase health by 1 point per minute (maximum increase of 5000 points), increase mana by 1 point every five minutes (maximum increase of 1500 points), and increase thunder attribute resistance by 1 point per day (maximum increase of 30 points).

Team Skill 3: Will Rune Stone (Passive, Lv. EX): Permanently increase will attribute by 1 point every natural day, maximum increase of 20 points.

Team Skill 4: Vitality Awakening (Rare Team Passive, Lv. EX): When a team member's health drops below 10%, this ability will be activated, restoring 13550 health points + 85% of maximum health within the next 3 seconds (the cooldown of this ability is 15 hours, and the cooldown between team members is calculated separately).

Team Luck: E-~S+

Seeing these team skills, Xilin felt both astonished and slightly reduced her anger at being forcibly snatched here.

"First of all, you should answer me a question."

Xilin spoke, her voice somewhat crisp and hoarse. It could only be said that a powerful person with a charm attribute over 800 points could make people feel favorable just by speaking.

"What world is this?"

Hearing this, Baja, who was best at negotiation, spoke: "Ancient Dragon Kingdom Ebeias."

Hearing this, Xilin felt a chill in her heart. She certainly knew that this world was open, but the problem was that at the Supreme level, this was also a super dangerous world. Without the strength of a top Supreme, coming here was no different from seeking death.

"You guys look like you haven't reached the top Supreme level, that is, the third stage of the Supreme level."

The third stage of the Supreme level that Xilin mentioned was the detailed division of the Supreme level by contractors. Each stage had clear divisions for all attributes and various ability levels. Su Xiao had never paid much attention to this, because from the moment he was promoted to the Supreme level, he could not underestimate any Supreme-level being.

This was not a game world with levels; this was a bloody reality star realm. If encountering ability restraint, a newly promoted Supreme still had a chance to kill a super-top Supreme. However, once reaching the "Supreme Peak," there was no such thing, because to be promoted to the "Supreme Peak," there was a hard condition: needing to have no weaknesses, so there was no such thing as being restrained.

The reason why contractors divided the Supreme level so clearly was both because the Supreme level was the highest echelon and because they needed to clearly divide the worlds of the Supreme level.

"Ancient Dragon Kingdom Ebeias" was a third-tier Supreme world, corresponding to a third-tier Supreme-level top Supreme.

After listening to this popular science, Su Xiao and Caesar looked at each other, confirming their eyes, and neither had heard of this.

"Oh, forgot, you monster-level guys at the same tier generally lack common sense in this regard."

Xilin sat on a large wooden box, her smoky makeup making her look even more melancholy.

"So, you agree to join the team?"

Baja asked. Hearing this, Xilin sneered, looked at Su Xiao, and said: "What else can I do?"

Xilin spoke openly, but if her teeth weren't clicking together, perhaps people would believe what she said was true.

Su Xiao recruited teammates by first forcibly snatching them and then physically persuading them. If the teammates didn't want to listen to his words, that was fine; he was also slightly skilled in fists and kicks and could beat them into submission.

After passing this stage, temporary teammates were generally resigned, thinking, "Whatever you want, just do it; anyway, I'll just slack off and muddle through this world." Facing this situation, he had to use the next move.

Su Xiao gave Baja a look, and Baja understood in seconds. He cleared his throat and said: "Xilin, we are preparing to kill the Beast Lord of the Elf Kingdom."

"Never heard of it. You know how I got in, don't you? Where am I supposed to read the world introduction?"

"Okay, simple metaphor, it's one of the three big bosses of this world."

Hearing Baja's easy-to-understand introduction, Xilin's gaze became particularly solemn.

"?"

Xilin looked at Su Xiao, and the expression clearly meant: Are you crazy? In a Supreme-level world, the general consensus is not to provoke boss-level units. This is not like the first to ninth tiers where you can still siege a big boss.

After reaching the Supreme level, those who can reach the big boss level are generally particularly outrageous, and at the Supreme level, even small bosses need to be most cautious, because small bosses in Supreme-level worlds start to be at the Supreme level.

Even small bosses at the newly promoted Supreme level are particularly difficult to deal with. This is why Supreme-level beings generally don't want to fight another Supreme-level being openly; they all calculate each other, weaken them to a certain extent, and only take action when they are sure of a kill.

Su Xiao is completely the opposite. When he was in the first to ninth tiers, he would first calculate and weaken those strong enemies before fighting them head-on.

But when it comes to the Supreme level, he is more inclined to go directly to the door. This may be the characteristic of a Blade Technique Grandmaster: the heart moves forward, the enemy is a point weaker in momentum, and in the next instant, their head is cut off, regardless of how powerful and unsolvable the other party's ability is.

This is also why, previously, Afiya and the other two, in a three-on-one situation, still thought that if they wanted to kill Su Xiao, she and the Dark Bishop would both die in this battle, and only the Pain Priest Zdenek could survive, and he would suffer irreversible, tragic injuries.

However, this also gave Su Xiao a doubt: with the apparent combat power of Sanctuary City Doan, it might not even be able to block one Dukain family councilor, so how did Sanctuary City stand until today?

Thinking of this, Su Xiao recalled the aura at the bottom of the "Torch Tower." That was a powerful and mixed aura. No, it was an aura field, composed of many kinds of auras.

Are many Sanctuary City powerhouses hidden under the "Torch Tower"? Su Xiao felt this was impossible, too unreasonable.

After thinking about it, Su Xiao thought of the only possibility: the lifespan of Sanctuary City's Supreme-level beings averaged less than 70 years. Placed anywhere, this was a particularly outrageous situation. Even if they often died in battles with the Abyssal Race, it was too short-lived for Supreme-level beings.

Thinking about it this way, there was only one possibility: when Sanctuary City's Supreme-level beings began to show power decline, they would voluntarily pass their power to their successors, and then they would drag their withered bodies into the "Torch Tower" to meet their end there.

Sanctuary City's Supreme-level beings often entered the abyss erosion zone, and being able to maintain their peak period until 70 years old was already due to their tenacious willpower. Tenacious willpower must have a powerful soul, and a stronger soul could keep the "Torch Tower" lit longer, which meant illuminating Sanctuary City longer.

This let Su Xiao know why, after approaching the "Torch Tower," he would feel that power. That was a collection formed by generations of Sanctuary City powerhouses after their deaths. They were the last defense of Sanctuary City, and because of this, to this day, the Dukain family had not razed "Sanctuary City Doan" to the ground.

"You, really want to deal with the Beast Lord?"

Xilin sighed in resignation and continued: "Then what do I need to do?"

"You need to have a high enough reputation with the Tree of the Void."

Baja's words made Xilin change from looking ugly to a half-smile. She said: "Sorry, guys, if you need a teammate with a high reputation with the Tree of the Void, I really can't do it. I only have less than 50 points of Tree of the Void reputation, which should be the lowest among the three of us."

Xilin was still half-smiling and spread her hands to show helplessness.

"As long as it's a positive reputation, it's fine."

Su Xiao's words made Xilin stunned. She subconsciously asked: "Your Tree of the Void reputation is negative? Really... unlucky guys."

Hearing this, Baja began to laugh very cheaply: "It's okay, in a few days, your Tree of the Void reputation will also be negative."

Baja's words made Xilin feel a chill in her heart. The thought of fighting to the death that had already subsided gradually ignited again, and the anger in her heart quietly increased from 50% to 80%.

"Your current Tree of the Void reputation is not much different from being negative."

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing him say this, Xilin's expression didn't change, but she sneered in her heart. However, in the next second, her eyes almost widened, because Su Xiao and Caesar both casually displayed their respective Tree of the Void reputations.

White Night Tree of the Void Reputation: -????

Caesar Tree of the Void Reputation: -???

Seeing this situation, Xilin's brain was almost filled with question marks, and the anger in her heart gradually calmed from 80% to 50%.

"We are going to loot all the Beast Lord's treasuries. After success, you will take 20%."

As soon as Su Xiao said this, the anger in Xilin's heart was uncontrollably reduced to less than 20%. It could only be said that this anger control was very professional.

"Don't draw me a pie. How much wealth is that specifically?"

Xilin was really shaken now. After being promoted to the Supreme level, she fully realized the strength gap within the Supreme level.

Different specifications of promotion to the Supreme level lead to vastly different combat power limits. She was also a top boss at the same tier in the past, but when promoted to the Supreme level, gathering the basic promotion requirements for the Supreme level had already nearly cost her her life, and she could only be promoted to the Supreme level with the lowest specifications.

The result was that Xilin's combat power limit was just a newly promoted Supreme. After the main attribute reached 800 points, it could no longer be improved. It wasn't that she couldn't use the attribute enhancement warehouse to absorb power source quality, but that daring to continue to improve would definitely lead to death.

For this situation, one could only hope for rare treasures and massive resources to pile up. Even if this was at most an improvement to a senior Supreme, it was still a earth-shaking change in combat power, and reaching a senior Supreme was truly the absolute limit.

"Enough for you to improve to a senior Supreme."

Caesar spoke. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After cooperating with Su Xiao to restock from other people's treasuries many times, a slight assessment could evaluate the approximate gold content of the Beast Lord's treasury.

"You guys, there's really no need to draw me such a fragrant pie."

Xilin said this, but her body was very honest, and she was already moved.

"We, is there a need to draw you a pie?"

This time it was Baja's turn to look at Xilin with a half-smile. Hearing this, Xilin thought about her situation and smiled bitterly herself. Yes, she had hundreds of thousands of contract bindings on her, so there was really no need to draw her a pie.

"Okay, I understand. This time, the danger is full, and the benefits are also full?"

Xilin stood on the wooden box, her aura becoming miraculous. Her pupils turned golden, her arms spread out, hugging the sky, and pale golden mist exhaled from her mouth.

"I, Celine, favored one of the Goddess of Fate, bestow good fortune upon you all."

Golden shimmer spread with Xilin as the center point. Caesar and Baja were both shrouded in this golden shimmer. Luck attributes began to soar, stopping after each reached 100 points, and the duration was the entire progress of this world.

This was a quite powerful benefit. It was worthy of being the perception system, a big waste profession in the early stages, and the "causality system" transferred in the later stages.

"Hoo~"

Xilin exhaled, a smile on the corner of her mouth. Just as she was about to say something humble, she suddenly discovered that among the three present, one was not blessed with luck, and the other party's luck attribute was 8 points.

Celine gave a soft sound of surprise, then raised her hand toward Su Xiao: "I, Celine, favored one of the Goddess of Luck and attendant to the Goddess of Fate, bestow good fortune upon you, Kukulín Bai Ye."

This time the golden light was even brighter, but after reaching Su Xiao, it was as if it had been swallowed, quietly disappearing.

The air suddenly became quiet. Xilin's somewhat wheat-colored skin successfully concealed the heat and embarrassment of her failed attempt to act cool. She simply stepped forward and placed one hand on Su Xiao.

"I, Xilin..."

This time Xilin spoke more clearly, almost reciting Su Xiao's contract number. A moment later, intense golden shimmer erupted from Xilin.

"Ah!!"

Xilin went from a low shout to a scream, and her expression management also lost control. A moment later, her feet went soft, and she sat on the ground, breathing heavily, sweating on her face. She looked up at Su Xiao in surprise and said:

"I only heard that you restrain the causality system, but I didn't expect that your luck also has problems. I... my luck attribute dropped by 1 point because of giving you a buff. You, you are so unlucky!!"

Xilin's wailing sound spread far away across the old warehouse. It could be seen that she really felt sorry for the luck attribute point that dropped.

Everything was ready, it was time to set off.

At noon that day, the group gathered in front of a "Teleportation Tower" in the South District of Sanctuary City. Sanctuary City had no outward passage, and entry and exit could only rely on this teleportation tower. This could minimize the risk of being invaded and also facilitate the return of members who went out in times of danger.

The teleportation array under their feet gradually started. Su Xiao, Caesar, Xilin, and Pain Priest Zdenek all stood in the teleportation array. Baja was naturally on Su Xiao's shoulder. In addition, there was one more person, exploration team member Bulgan.

This person was less than twenty years old and had gone out to explore nineteen times. In one exploration, he accidentally got separated from the main force and, relying on nine parts luck and one part calmness, successfully arrived near the "Elf Kingdom Seton." He even mixed into the city, and half a month later, returned to Sanctuary City through the cargo teleportation array on the other side, returning to a non-space sealed area dozens of kilometers west of Sanctuary City, alive.

As the only person in Sanctuary City who had been to the "Elf Kingdom Seton" and returned alive, Bulgan was subjected to half a year of voluntary imprisonment and observation. Only after confirming he was fine did he regain his freedom. And this time, he became the guide for the small team.

Bulgan had golden hair, many spots on both sides of his face, a slightly red nose, and particularly lively eyes. However, at this time, these lively eyes were very nervous. Besides that, there was indescribable excitement. Just a day ago, his idol, the leader of the exploration team, Ms. Afiya, found him and asked him to serve as a guide for an outgoing team.

Although Bulgan was young, he was also an old man in the exploration team. He was unwilling to be a guide, but Afiya spoke. However, upon hearing that one of the members of this outgoing team was Lord Zdenek, Bulgan's secret unwillingness turned into nervousness and expectation. This was his other idol.

Amidst Bulgan's surging mood, the teleportation array started.

As the teleportation began, Su Xiao subconsciously pressed his hand on the end of the hilt. Unlike previous teleportations, after the surrounding light dimmed rapidly, it did not gradually recover, but fell into absolute darkness.

Ask, what is absolute darkness? The answer is a void. Close one eye and press one hand on the closed eye. What this eye sees is absolute darkness, a void with nothing at all.

Most areas of this world outside Sanctuary City are this kind of extreme darkness. Su Xiao's perception expanded, which allowed him to successfully see the darkness, rather than the feeling of nothingness in front of his eyes. He stepped forward and could feel and perceive the rock teleportation platform under his feet.

"Boss, this is too dark."

Baja squatted on Su Xiao's shoulder, poking his head to look around.

"White Night."

Pain Priest Zdenek spoke, handing over a black iron ornament: "This can slow down the 'Darkness Corruption' of the Abyssal Race to a certain extent."

"No need."

Su Xiao certainly didn't need this method. One of the two core bonuses of his "Abyss Shadow" title was:

"Title Effect 2: Shadow of Fury (Core Passive), exempt from all characteristics of 'Darkness Corruption'."

It was not just the "Darkness Corruption" of the Dukain family's characteristics. In the Reincarnation Paradise prompt, it said "all," so it must include the "Darkness Corruption" of all Abyssal Race, all immune.

This was also the reason why Su Xiao dared to deal with the Dukain family in the first world after being promoted to the Supreme level.

Su Xiao took out the liquid Apollo stored in a sealed bottle to illuminate. Sure enough, under the action of the sun characteristic, the orange-red light emitted by the liquid Apollo made the darkness within a few meters around become thin, and the world that had been sealed by darkness for many years gradually revealed its former appearance.

"Mr. White Night! This will attract..."

Bulgan spoke urgently, but it was too late. A low roar came, and a black afterimage attacked from the side. After rushing into the illumination zone, it was a dark beast composed of liquid dark tissue with a ferocious form.

Seeing this scene, the Pain Priest raised his hand to pinch his own throat. Just as he was about to pinch his own neck, a slash flashed away.

Clang!

The crisp sound of the slash spread. Su Xiao clearly didn't draw his blade, just holding the liquid Apollo container in one hand and pressing the other hand on the end of the hilt, yet he successfully slaughtered the attacking dark beast.

When he was just promoted to the Supreme level, Su Xiao had the feeling that his "Blade Domain" had changed, but he hadn't developed any domain-type abilities, so he wasn't sensitive to changes in this regard. And the Dark Lady's "Darkness Domain" before made this feeling deeper.

Now he was in a purely dark environment, relying entirely on the perception circle to explore the surrounding situation. In this situation, he suddenly encountered an enemy attack, and his subconscious was to "slash" a blade. Although he had never used this ability, he was sure he could do it.

His perception circle size was defaulted to the distance of the Blade Domain. At the moment, the diameter of the perception circle was 15 meters. After all, as a Blade Technique Grandmaster, perception sensitivity and perception capture speed were at the top echelon level. As for the perception range, cough~, let's change the topic.

That is to say, as long as an enemy entered his "Blade Domain," he could transmit his slash without drawing the blade, relying on his "Blade Domain." The slash power was about 65% of his normal slash, and there was room for improvement, but it required increasing the carrying limit of the perception circle and the mastery of the "Blade Domain."

Clang, clang, clang...

Pale blue slashes appeared out of thin air around him, and black blood scattered down. Those dark beasts that rushed to kill were slashed on the spot, black blood splashing everywhere.

Su Xiao felt that this ability had great development prospects. Using slashes in this way also consumed stamina, but with the stamina recovery speed of his current physique, the consumption speed was not as fast as the recovery. He checked the current "Blade Domain" ability.

"Blade Domain (Active/Passive): In the passive stage, you gain 10% total damage reduction, and the damage rank caused by blade weapons +5. In the active stage, you can use slashes at any location within the perception circle. The slash power is 65.8% of your normal slash power.

Hint: When the active effect is turned on, the passive bonus of the Blade Domain will temporarily fail."

Specialization is the key to success. If it's a large-scale continuous attack, a Blade Technique Grandmaster is not very good, but if it's a continuous, precise, high-intensity attack, a Blade Technique Grandmaster is definitely one of the best. For example, the "Blade Domain" improved after being promoted to the Supreme level.

Bulgan watched the dark beasts that approached within 15 meters all being slashed by one blade. You know, in the past, when they encountered these dark beasts outside the city, they needed a team to siege them, and if they were not careful, they would immediately lose members. On the contrary, the Law-Extinguisher who just pressed his hand on the end of the hilt and walked forward calmly made Bulgan sigh:

"It's really... a powerful ability that makes people envious."

"Technique Grandmaster."

Xilin sighed with envy. When she chose her system at the first tier, she also had the opportunity to choose the technique system, but she felt that the technique system was not extraordinary enough. Who could have thought that this ability, which was not extraordinary and cool enough in the early stages, would be so strong in the late stages.

Su Xiao didn't notice Xilin's envy. He was completely immersed in every slash made by the "Blade Domain" at the moment, because a piece of equipment he obtained before was produced in this world. This equipment was:

【Hunting Heart】

Origin: Ancient Dragon Kingdom, Extreme Dark Forest, Wild Hunting Workshop.

Quality: Eternal-level.

Category: Hunting Belt.

Durability: 420/420 points.

Equipment requirement: Real Agility 800 points.

Equipment effect: Perception Excitation (Core Passive), this equipment has a 96.5% fit with your intuition ability, can trigger a 100% bonus effect, and the intuition ability improvement speed increases by 20~210 times (210 times during combat, 95 times in dangerous environments, 20 times in safe environments).

Hint: When you fight in the unique "specific environment" corresponding to this equipment, the equipment effect will be "super-massively" improved, and there is a probability of immediately increasing the current perception ability by 1 level until the perception ability reaches Lv. EX, and this bonus will no longer be triggered.

Hint: If you reach Lv. EX in your "intuition" ability through this equipment, then your "intuition" ability will receive a qualitative improvement. At the same time, the equipment will also receive a qualitative improvement and become your exclusive perception bonus equipment.

Rating: 6000 points (Eternal-level equipment rating is 3000~6000 points).

Introduction: Under the shroud of darkness, we are very small. In this barren Sanctuary Town...

Price: 11800 Soul Coins.

From the introduction of this equipment, it can be seen that besides "Sanctuary City," there are some small forces in this world that are stubbornly surviving in the darkness. It's not that they can resist the Abyssal Race, but that the Abyssal Race is too lazy to pay attention to them.

One point is beyond doubt: to maximize the enhancement effect of 【Heart of the Hunt】, one must come to this world and venture deep into the darkness. However, Su Xiao previously used the obtained overlord equipment 【Devourer】 to have it consume 【Heart of the Hunt】, thereby ultimately strengthening its effects.

【Swallower】

Origin: Ancient Calamity, Demon Dragon that Swallows Everything.

Quality: Overlord-level.

Category: Hunting Belt.

Durability: 1000/1000 points (during the use of this item, it will automatically restore durability).

Equipment effect: Perception Excitation (Core Passive), increase intuition ability improvement speed by 100~1050 times...

Hint: When you fight in the unique "specific environment" corresponding to this equipment, the equipment effect will be "super-massively" improved, and there is a probability of immediately increasing the current perception ability by 5 levels until the perception ability reaches Lv. EX, and this bonus will no longer be triggered.

Hint: If you reach Lv. EX in your "intuition" ability through this equipment, then your "intuition" ability will receive a qualitative improvement.

At the moment, his intuition ability is Lv. 86. The improvement speed is not fast, after all, the improvement channel for this ability is too special, and it can only be relied on by experiencing danger time and time again.

What Su Xiao really cares about is that his current intuition ability is very special. First of all, this ability is the attack carrier of the "Blade Domain" at this time. Secondly, when in the "specific environment" of 【Hunting Heart】, this ability is excited to the highest degree.

Under normal circumstances, a perception ability reaching Lv. 90 full level is already a very high-tier perception ability. Su Xiao learned this ability from Sha at the beginning. This ability was called "Beast Intuition" in Sha's place, and it was called "Intuition" in Su Xiao's place.

This ability, Sha claimed to have developed it herself at first, but later, after Su Xiao's old injury treatment, Sha "enjoyed" it to the point of nearly incontinence and let it slip that this was an ability taught by her master. As for where her master learned it, Sha didn't mention it.

Although this perception ability didn't have a cool origin, it had unparalleled adaptability. From the point of becoming the carrier of the "Blade Domain," it could be further verified.

As the owner of the Origin Stone, Su Xiao had an improvement of "all ability level caps increased by Lv. 10," which brought the intuition level cap to Lv. 100.

But that wasn't all. After becoming the carrier of the "Blade Domain," the intuition ability was forced to increase its cap again, conservatively estimated to Lv. 105, with a small probability of reaching Lv. 110.

Clang!

A bright slash passed, and a large dark beast was beheaded. The corpse and head fell to the other side. Su Xiao didn't pay attention to this. In the darkness, after controlling this slash mark to appear, he suddenly felt his perception circle shrink to a few meters, and then it expanded further, reaching a limit of 16 meters from the original limit of 15 meters.

【Hint: Your intuition ability has permanently increased by Lv. 5, and has now reached Lv. 91.】

... **CHAPTER 4003: HOUND**
