Chapter 965

"I have to say, the organizers of this Void Arena have shown great sincerity, which is also the main reason why the Void Arena has remained prosperous to this day.

I announce that the reward for first place in this arena is... the Essence of the Reborn Dragon!"

Hake picked up the Essence of the Reborn Dragon and held it up to the audience.

"Roar!"

The audience instantly boiled over. If someone didn't recognize this item before, now everyone knew its origin.

The so-called Essence of the Reborn Dragon was not something like a dragon crystal. Most dragon races did not have dragon crystals in their bodies; only a very small number of dragon races possessed them.

As for what a dragon crystal was, in layman's terms, it was the dragon race's energy storage organ. Most dragons used their flesh to store energy and would not evolve useless dragon crystals at all.

Dragon crystals were not as magical as in legends. After the dragon race died, the energy in their bodies would dissipate rapidly, and the energy in the dragon crystal would do the same, leaving only an empty shell. The only ones who loved dragon crystals were mages, who would use them to store elements for convenience during battle.

As for the Essence of the Dragon, this was not something that existed innately, but was artificially manufactured after the fact. Within a short time after killing a dragon, the energy and soul in the dragon's body were extracted, compressed, and finally stored together. The thing that was moved was the Essence of the Dragon.

The dragon race had extremely vast energy in their bodies, and after forcibly adding the dragon's soul, one only needed post-natal catalysis to obtain the essence. This thing was very precious, but its uses were not very extensive, at least in most cases.

However, the Reborn Dragon was different. The energy in this dragon race's body was a high-purity life energy. After being manufactured into an essence, the life energy within the essence could be directly absorbed. Most energy would not repel life energy. After absorbing high-purity life energy, there were many benefits, such as recovering from injuries and increasing lifespan. If one's own energy and life energy had a very high degree of compatibility, one could even rapidly improve their strength.

Now, the Void Arena had brought out an Essence of the Reborn Dragon. That essence, like an emerald gem, couldn't help but make people feel greedy.

Gurgle. The Zerg Bank swallowed its saliva. It had a feeling that if it ate this thing, its life rank would improve a lot.

The stone man not far away also clenched its fists, also moved by the Essence of the Reborn Dragon.

Su Xiao lit a cigarette, his eyes fixed on the essence. The Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy in his body began to stir.

The first time he saw that essence, Su Xiao couldn't take his eyes off it. He could be sure of one thing: the energy within that essence must be a high-tier biological energy. What the Devouring Core needed was precisely high-tier biological energy.

As long as he could devour this dragon essence, his Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability would climb rapidly like a rocket, reaching an unimaginable level.

If possible, he must obtain this thing. Su Xiao made a secret decision in his heart.

"Ten contestants have entered the arena, and the rewards for the top three are placed right here. Slaughter! For this treasure within reach, if you want to become a powerful person who shakes one side in the future, defeat your opponents and stomp them into the sand. The melee... begins!!"

Hake announced the start of the match with a long drawl. The ten contestants stepped forward at the same time.

Su Xiao's gaze swept across, beginning to observe his opponents. That's right, in a melee, the other nine were all opponents.

Pi Pang didn't need to be mentioned. The previous four Demon Castle games allowed Su Xiao to understand some of his fighting style.

The Wind Prince was a very strong competitor. The combination of his wind elements and water elements was ever-changing, both violent and sinister.

The Zerg Bank was pure strength and speed. Those innate arm blades were extremely sharp, and fighting seemed to be Bank's instinct.

The stone man was as steady as a rock. If it didn't move, it wouldn't, but if it did, it was like a mountain collapsing. One could tell from its appearance that this guy's resistance to blows was very strong.

The iron man was a Void version of Iron Man—no, it should be a retro version of Iron Man. The seemingly ancient knight armor on the other party was actually a lightweight combat armor. The retro style was used to confuse the enemy, a typical old sinister guy.

The drunken woman's ability was unknown. The scorpion tattoo on her face turned crimson because she was drunk. Her nickname, Red Scorpion, might have come from this.

Besides these six, the other three had minor injuries. The three leaned toward each other as soon as the match started, quite having the meaning of cherishing each other. The three advancing to the top ten was a bit reluctant. If it were a past arena, all three would belong to the seeded contestants, but in this session, the three were classified into the salted fish ranks. The main reason for appearing on the stage was to mix for a ranking.

"It seems there is no chance to fight you one-on-one."

Pi Pang stuffed a large mouthful of spicy beef jerky into his mouth, looking straight at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao didn't speak. The situation on the field was a bit bad, at least for him, it was a bit bad.

"Don't worry, I won't besiege you for the time being. I'm prepared to deal with those three soy-sauce brothers first."

Pi Pang walked toward the three soy-sauce brothers. This seemed like a waste of physical strength, but it was actually a very smart choice. After Pi Pang fought with the three soy-sauce brothers, the possibility of others coming to trouble him was not high. This instead could preserve physical strength and might even make him the final winner.

The Wind Prince, the stone man, the iron man, and the Red Scorpion vaguely had the intention of cooperation. The target of the four was none other than Su Xiao.

After hesitating for a moment, the Zerg Bank walked toward the three soy-sauce brothers. But it was bitter for the three soy-sauce brothers. They were just here to mix for a ranking, but they were besieged by Pi Pang and Bank.

"Three, the situation now is clear at a glance. Although I don't want to admit it, the strongest combat power on the field is this Law-Breaker."

The Wind Prince looked at Su Xiao with a full face of smiles.

"I thought of the same thing. Why don't we temporarily form an alliance, solve the others first, and then decide the winner later? There are only four of us, so there shouldn't be a problem with the top four."

The Red Scorpion agreed with the Wind Prince's cooperation intention.

"Agreed. Forming an alliance at this time is the best choice."

Two electric whips popped out of the iron man's arms, and arcs jumped and stretched on the whips.

"Yeah, solve the salesman first. Salesmen are all liars."

The stone man spoke in a muffled voice and even touched the few yellowed small grasses on its head.

After the four reached a preliminary consensus, they began to surround Su Xiao.

Su Xiao took a deep breath of the cigarette between his fingers and exhaled a large mouthful of blue smoke.

Clang~

Checking Zhan Long Shan left its sheath, making a crisp knife sound. He didn't say a word. If it were someone else in this situation, even if they weren't desperate, they would inevitably feel guilty.

However, Su Xiao was smiling, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy clung to Checking Zhan Long Shan. Checking Zhan Long Shan was like a lightning blade, and the Intuition ability was also fully opened. A light red aura surged out from Su Xiao's body, and the four people not far away smelled a faint scent of blood.

Su Xiao threw away the cigarette between his fingers and crouched low.

Boom!

Yellow sand splashed like water. Su Xiao disappeared from the spot in an instant. Facing the siege of the four, he actually took the initiative to rush up. The first kill target was locked on the iron man. This guy seemed to be using electric whips, but in fact, his long-range firepower was stronger than the Wind Prince.

Because of the high-speed forward rush, Su Xiao's black hair was blown up, and the hem of his windbreaker rustled.

After the iron man noticed that Su Xiao's target was him, his heartbeat accelerated suddenly. At this moment, he felt that what was rushing toward him was not a human, but a fierce beast that had been angered.
