His eyes brightened, he smiled, and the few black whiskers on his mouth twitched upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gazes locked. The Rat Lord pointed at Su Xiao, then raised his arm—on his wrist was a temporary engraved mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing it, Su Xiao’s pupils contracted, then he understood. The heavy weight in his chest lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mark on the Rat Lord’s wrist was a temporary Reincarnation Seal—a Reincarnation mark. That meant the Rat Lord had likely been commissioned or contracted by the Reincarnation Paradise to come to the Void Arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What this implied needed no explanation: the Reincarnation Paradise had sent Su Xiao, Pi Pang, and others to the Void Arena, but they were still below Third Stage—too early to even touch the Void. Even if they reached Third Stage, they still lacked the qualification to roam within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Reincarnation Paradise had taken precautions: the Rat Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Contracted One or a Hunter died in combat, the Reincarnation Paradise wouldn’t intervene—but if danger came from outside the arena, the Reincarnation Paradise would not stand idly by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Reincarnation Paradise seemed unwilling to overly interfere with the Void’s rules, hence the Rat Lord’s appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Rat Lord here, Su Xiao exhaled in relief—he no longer needed to worry about being ambushed upon entry. The Rat Lord’s strength remained unknown, but as a temporary representative of the Reincarnation Paradise, could he possibly be weak? Of course not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m dead tired. Give me a leg rub.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rat Lord crossed his leg, and the tearful little cute girl beside him immediately began massaging his leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rat Lord’s appearance didn’t affect the arena’s atmosphere—the spectator seats still roared with waves of cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the sandy arena floor, six cute girls, each about 1.5 meters tall, were fighting—yes, in Su Xiao’s view, they were fighting, not killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Lalata Star” girls’ techniques were dazzling, their movements fluid and crisp; it felt less like combat and more like a performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One cute girl, with plump hands, slapped another’s abdomen. Both bore animal traits—one had rabbit ears, the other had feline paw pads on her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rabbit-eared girl, struck by the paw-pad girl, glared at her when the audience wasn’t looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ow! Too hard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rabbit-eared girl complained; the paw-pad girl secretly stuck out her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the rabbit-eared girl flew through the air, she activated a mechanism on her wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip! Her outer garment exploded, leaving only her undergarments. Thud! Her pale body landed on the sand, pitiful and vulnerable—the clothing tear drew a chorus of lewd laughter from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oohhhhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “gentlemen” in the stands cheered—watching the pre-match exhibition was excellent entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the exhibition ended with the rabbit-eared girl victorious, since her abdomen had turned red from the blow; her teammates decided to award her the win as compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, the exhibition is over. How did you find it? Personally, I give it a 9 out of 10—leaving 1 point so these little cuties don’t get too proud.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the highest tier of the arena’s sloping stands stood a devilish figure, his entire skin crimson, with two horns sprouting from his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devils differ from demons: Devils are typically lawful evil, advocating “fair” transactions and generally avoiding violence; thus, in the Void, they mostly serve as merchants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This devilish announcer had been hired at great expense by the Void Arena—he was a celebrity of the Void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, do you remember me? I am…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The devil announcer aimed his circular microphone at the spectator seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hak, Hak…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right! I am Hak, the spokesperson of lawful evil! Void Arena spectators, Hak misses you dearly. No more chatter—let’s begin the match!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hak’s announcing style left the organizers baffled—he didn’t build suspense at all, but declared the match open immediately, unlike any other arena announcer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spectator seats fell silent. Normally, the announcer would waste half an hour hyping up the “sponsoring” factions or boasting about the organizers—the most boring part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd’s reaction stunned the organizers—it was too intense. Even when other announcers spent hours stoking excitement, the crowd never responded this fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The organizer signaled his subordinate: start the match immediately—keep pace with Hak’s rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom. Boom. Boom…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The war drums above the Void Arena thundered. After seven beats, the match began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, as the opening match of this year’s Void Arena, Hak must clarify: this bout will be spectacular. First, please welcome the Machine Clan warrior—Mr. Aure, who refuses to reveal his name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing “Mr. Aure, who refuses to reveal his name,” most of the audience looked bewildered—this phrasing sounded utterly wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive, jet-black man stepped onto the sandy arena. His eyes were mechanical—indeed, his entire body was mechanical, yet he was not a robot, but a Machine Clan member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The origin of the Machine Clan dates back many years; their exact genesis is unknown. One day, they simply appeared, then gradually grew, and now they are one of the Void’s major clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Machine Clan possess independent subjective consciousness. Though their bodies are metal, it is living metal. Strangely, they have senses like touch—though far weaker than biological beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Machine Clan warrior Aure seemed displeased—he had planned to reveal his name only after winning a match, to gain greater attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the audience’s reaction left Aure stunned. The warrior didn’t know that Devil Hak had already seen through his plan and had helped him: “Mr. Aure, who refuses to reveal his name” was far more memorable than revealing his name after a single victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, welcome Mr. Aure’s opponent—the contestant Pi Pang. By the way, Mr. Pi Pang hails from a mysterious great power—so mysterious, even Hak has no idea what it is.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1080,"2026-06-19T23:49:56.324Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","81ac71e4281770013a8952145a19c220fa996dc5d692af88c59eb0a5c4297d02","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-950","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-948",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
