Chapter 717

Deep inside Ryudou Temple, the main offering hall.

Su Xiao lay on his back on the ground, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep. Beside him lay the corpse of the Resentful Orphan, Hughes.

"It seems... luck is good this time."

Su Xiao sat up and looked at Hughes's corpse. If compared by strength, Hughes was more than a cut above him, but in the end, he was the one who won. This was partly due to his own strength, and partly because Hughes was not familiar with his own abilities.

Su Xiao guessed that Hughes should have just evolved into this state. The other's attacks were monotonous; no matter how you look at it, he didn't seem to use heavy weapons often, and he was not familiar with the use of skills.

If Su Xiao had Hughes's attributes and skills, he would never have taken the initiative to rush in front of the enemy, but would have chosen to fight a war of attrition. With that aura that erodes the soul, no one could outlast Hughes.

Su Xiao let out a long sigh. Now that Hughes is dead, the danger level inside Ryudou Temple has been greatly reduced. As long as he is not besieged by a large group of resentful creatures, leaving Ryudou Temple is no problem.

Su Xiao does not intend to leave Ryudou Temple just like this. He still remembers a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise earlier.

【Talent Awakening mission completion degree is being judged. The Hunter's actions within the next five hours will determine the final completion degree of the Talent Awakening mission. Current completion degree: 34%.】

From this prompt, it can be seen that within five hours after the mission is completed, Su Xiao's actions will determine the completion degree of the Talent Awakening mission.

The importance of the completion degree is self-evident; the higher the completion degree, the stronger Su Xiao will be after his talent awakens.

Talent levels are divided into E-level to SSS-level. The level of completion of the Talent Awakening mission determines the level of Su Xiao's talent ability after awakening.

According to Su Xiao's understanding, the highest level for the first talent awakening is S, and the highest level, SSS, requires a second awakening to reach.

Regarding the second awakening, Su Xiao only knows one piece of information: it cannot be done just by completing missions or collecting items; it requires very strong luck and strength.

Judging from the current 34% completion degree, it would be good if the talent ability reaches B-level after awakening; S-level is not even worth thinking about.

"Must continue."

Su Xiao stood up, walked to Hughes, and pulled out Checking Zhan Long Shan from the other's body. As for the Dawn War Cry in the other's eye socket, this gun had already exploded.

The big boss, Resentful Orphan Hughes, had been killed by Su Xiao, let alone the resentful creatures distributed in Ryudou Temple now. He searched the room for a while and finally found the node of the barrier under the pool.

Qing Gang Ying energy clung to Checking Zhan Long Shan, and Checking Zhan Long Shan pierced the magic node of the barrier with one slash. The barrier around the room disappeared.

Not only did the barrier around the room disappear, but the several layers of barriers that had appeared before also disappeared, leaving only the outermost barrier that hid Ryudou Temple. That barrier should have an independent magic power supply.

Just as Su Xiao was preparing to walk out of the main offering hall and fight his way through Ryudou Temple, a sharp pain came from his chest.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Su Xiao coughed up several large mouthfuls of fresh blood in succession. His injuries were more severe than he had imagined and could not be suppressed by a few bottles of No. 1 potion.

Discovering this, Su Xiao's gaze was somewhat unwilling. Should he just give up like this?

With his current physical state, it is clearly impossible to fight through Ryudou Temple. It is true that Su Xiao's body is strong, but it is also a body of flesh and blood, with limits. This kind of limit cannot be ignored just by roaring "I want to save something."

Don't talk about fighting through Ryudou Temple; in his current state, whether he can deal with more than a dozen resentful creatures at the same time is an unknown.

After thinking for a moment, Su Xiao pushed open the door of the main offering hall and climbed out from the wall of the main offering hall.

Just after landing, a large number of mice that looked like hedgehogs discovered Su Xiao.

"Squeak~"

Hundreds of resentful mice hissed at the same time. These resentful mice basically had no combat power and were only responsible for early warning.

Su Xiao swung his blade to kill a few resentful mice that rushed forward and hurried down the mountain. Five minutes later, he arrived at the mountainside.

"In this case... the completion degree should not be low."

Su Xiao muttered, then concentrated. After about thirty seconds, he detonated a bomb he had left in Ryudou Temple from a long distance. A blinding light appeared behind him, silent and soundless.

In the Ryudou Temple area, a fireball with a diameter of one kilometer began to explode and burn, just like a sun falling and smashing into Ryudou Temple. Soil, steel, cement, etc., were all vaporized.

Boom!

There was a buzzing in his ears, and the wind pressure blew toward his face. Su Xiao's left hand, wrapped in a crimson arm guard, blocked in front of him.

The sun is blooming, burning everything to ashes!

The high temperature rushing from the top of the mountain made Su Xiao unable to help but take two steps back. He had previously left the only Sun God Apollo in the main offering hall, and now it had detonated.

【Sun God Apollo】

Quality: Purple

Type: Consumable

Effect: Can consume 1 point of mana to activate at any time (explosion range of two kilometers, creator's explosion range increased to four kilometers). After the explosion, it causes 6000 points of true burning damage within 1000 meters, with an additional 2000 points of fire burning damage.

Prompt: Detonating Sun God Apollo takes 30 seconds.

Score: 143

Brief: The majesty of the sun cannot be provoked!

Apollo's explosion and burning continued. The power of this bomb does not lie in the explosion power, but in the burning effect produced after detonation.

【You killed a Resentful Servant】

【Obtained 0.2% of World Source. Currently obtained a total of 43.0% of World Source.】

【You obtained 9 points of Holy Church merit.】

【You killed a Resentful Servant】

【Obtained 0.1% of World Source. Currently obtained a total of 43.1% of World Source.】

【You obtained 9 points of Holy Church merit.】

Kill prompts appeared continuously. In an instant, Su Xiao saw at least a hundred kill prompts. Whether Holy Church merit is precious is not yet known, but the speed at which World Source increased made Su Xiao overjoyed.

Two seconds after Sun God Apollo exploded and burned, kill prompts no longer appeared. The World Source Su Xiao obtained had already reached an astonishing 61.4%. He had never obtained so much World Source in a derived world before.

This made Su Xiao curious: what would happen if World Source reached 100%? He shook his head; with his current strength, it is unlikely to obtain 100% of World Source.

Moreover, Ryudou Temple belongs to a hidden area; otherwise, there would not be so much World Source.

【You killed a Resentful Servant leader】

【Obtained 4.1% of World Source. Currently obtained a total of 65.2% of World Source.】

【You obtained 100 points of Holy Church merit.】

When Apollo's flames gradually extinguished, Ryudou Temple had disappeared. This disappeared area was vaporized by the high temperature.

The current ruins of Ryudou Temple have become a forbidden zone for living things. Apollo's one-kilometer explosion range razed this place to the ground!

The top of the mountain where Ryudou Temple is located was glowing red. The mountain rocks there had turned into magma due to the high temperature, and the air above was distorted. Even at the mountainside, Su Xiao could feel that terrifying temperature.

Although the effect was astonishing, Su Xiao could not help but feel some heartache; the cost of Sun God Apollo is simply too high.

Since the Talent Awakening mission is closely related to Ryudou Temple, Su Xiao razed Ryudou Temple to the ground, which is more effective than fighting through it. This way, the mission completion degree should be able to rise significantly.

This is not all. Su Xiao took out an item dropped by the Resentful Orphan Hughes earlier: 【Book of Repentance (Mission Item)】.
