Chapter 1606 -72: Absolute Intelligence Domination

After checking the capabilities of Dragon Slash, Su Xiao’s heart couldn’t calm down for a long time. Don’t think that the comprehensive attribute improvement of upgrading to epic level is very low. One must know, that Dragon Slash was a legendary +13 weapon before, and after the enhancement level slipped, all its attributes declined.

The current enhancement of Dragon Slash is compensating for the overflow improvement effect after enhancing +13 benefits. If he can elevate an epic-level Dragon Slash to +13, that would be another scenario. If he truly wields an epic-level +13 Dragon Slash, don’t mention Fifth-Tier Contractors, even Sixth-Tier Contractors struck at vital points would die—that is, under circumstances where they have no defense at all, as the gap between the two tiers is simply too big.

In Reincarnation Paradise, cross-tier challenges are very difficult. Unless Su Xiao is the strongest of the fourth tier, only then might he challenge early-fifth-tier contractors, and who wins or loses is uncertain since the fourth and fifth tiers don’t belong to the same level.

Divine Emperor and Stan are both strong, yet they are stuck at the fourth tier. It’s not that they don’t want to ascend to the fifth tier; they are preparing. To ascend to the fifth tier, one needs to complete a certain trial in the Void.

Su Xiao is not in a hurry to ascend to the fifth tier for the time being. After completing the Awakening of the Blade, he felt relaxed all over, and the heavy burden on his shoulders was swept away.

The enhancement of comprehensive performance is only the most basic enhancement of Dragon Slash. Currently, the sharpness of Dragon Slash has reached an unprecedented breakthrough of 100 points, achieving an astounding 104 points. With this strike, if it cuts the shield of a Main Tank from the fourth stage, nine out of ten Main Tanks would cry and faint in the toilet, as the repair cost of the shield would be so high it might make one question life.

Dragon Slash is not only sharp; the legend-level gemstones Spirit Cat and Mad Knight also carry the effect of reducing the enemy’s physical defense power, combining with the sharpness of 104. When cutting an opponent of the same tier, once it directly hits the body, it would be like slicing cucumbers.

More importantly, Dragon Slash possesses a very terrifying ability, which is slaying, or rather an instant death effect. When the enemy’s Life Value falls below 25%, they are directly slain.

This ability is quite useless against weaklings, but if dealing with powerful enemies like Crownless Lord and Mo Yi·Nora, it can play a role in turning the tide; the likely scenario is that the enemy is severely injured and just about to fight Su Xiao desperately, only to be slain by his blade.

No matter how small the wound from the final strike, as long as Blue Steel Shadow Energy invades the enemy’s body, the Blade Devil Spirit would invade along with Blue Steel Shadow Energy, causing an instantaneous slay effect on their consciousness or even soul.

Regarding Blade Demon Energy, Su Xiao never thought of eliminating it because it simply can’t be eradicated. At best, he seals it up for personal use. If his soul strength is 100, then the strength of Blade Demon Energy is at least over 2000. If it had consciousness, it would have taken over. This is why Su Xiao is so eager to extract Blade Demon Energy.

As for the Blade Devil Spirit transformed from Blade Demon Energy, Su Xiao feels that this thing has no consciousness of its own; it is a hazy black-blue mist that obeys his commands.

Currently, Su Xiao can summon Dragon Slash back from tens of meters away, eliminating the fatal issue of weapon falling out of hand. Also, apart from Su Xiao, no one else can use Dragon Slash. No, this description is a bit wrong; the correct way to say it is that enemies can’t hold the hilt of Dragon Slash. If an enemy grabs it, it’ll be a “pleasant surprise”; even if they survive, they’d be skinned alive. The title of Devil Blade is more than just a name.

Of course, the Blade Devil Spirit’s current ability is just the initial stage; what future abilities it holds will depend on Su Xiao’s exploration and development, as Dragon Slash has just completed the Awakening of the Blade.

[Hint: Hunter has completed the main task ‘Awakening of the Blade.’]

[You have received Soul-Cutting Shadow Stone·Incomplete×1 (Legendary Level).]

[Due to completion of the main task, Hunter’s stay time in This World is cleared. You may choose to immediately return to Reincarnation Paradise or continue to stay for two hours until mandatory return.]

…

Su Xiao closed the notification; he’s not ready to return to Reincarnation Paradise yet. The reason is simple: A Mu is still hugging that Purple Crystal, licking it with relish.

The originally large piece of Purple Crystal is now reduced to fist size after A Mu’s licking. It opened its mouth, sizing the crystal against its chest, which was not too difficult but also not easy to swallow.

After taking a deep breath, squeezing its eyes shut, and stamping its feet, A Mu swallowed the fist-sized crystal.

“Gulu—”

Su Xiao noticed A Mu’s neck markedly thickened as the crystal slowly moved downward and eventually entered the chest, landing in A Mu’s stomach, which is a de facto decompose the machine.

Obviously, A Mu is very perceptive; it knows that this crystal explodes when subjected to external compression, hence it opted to lick then swallow.

A Mu patted its belly. Looking at its state, it seemed unchanged, with neither side effects nor a tendency to grow stronger.

“A Mu, feels stuffed.”

A Mu spoke in a muffled voice while patting its belly.

“…”

Su Xiao paused in his footsteps, staring in surprise at A Mu. He had created A Mu long ago, yet it’s the first time he’d heard A Mu say it felt stuffed, akin to Bubu Wang not wrecking the house or Bennie not being greedy—unbelievable.

Upon closely observing A Mu without noting any abnormalities, Su Xiao relaxed. He started contacting Bubu Wang to ask about the situation downhill; if things were normal, he planned to return to Reincarnation Paradise.

Down at the Iceberg.

Tututu…

Tututu…

It’s still the same ‘strange’ yet rhythmically rich tututu sounds. Bubu Wang and Zang Ge crouched below the Iceberg; in front of them was a fire pit, and sometimes Bubu Wang would take out a compressed air canister to spray into the pit to ensure the flames kept burning.

“Fuh—”

Zang Ge sniffled. The tall-sized Zang Ge squatted in front of the fire pit, clearly extending his palms to warm them.

“Woof.”

Bubu Wang woofed, tossing a piece of frozen crispy beef jerky to Zang Ge, who hesitated before taking a bite.

“You’re still… not bad.”

Zang Ge munched on the crispy roasted meat. Judging by his expression, he seemed unprepared to clash with Bubu Wang, realizing it’s senseless—since Bubu Wang could meld into the environment, he couldn’t do anything against it. Besides, Bubu Wang wasn’t his target.

Bubu Wang tilted his head, meaning: “Not bad, you give me more information, and I’ll offer you better things to eat.”

Zang Ge couldn’t decipher Bubu Wang’s implication; evidently, he seemed distracted as his mission was likely to fail.

Being one of the Wind Prince’s “carefully selected” five Bajing Clan members, Zang Ge was the strongest and most straightforward, surviving alone through the spatial whirlpool while other kin perished.

Wind Prince dispatched him without expecting him to succeed, or rather, given Wind Prince’s understanding of Su Xiao, if it were 1-on-1, Su Xiao could tire out this Void assassin into skepticism of his life.

Sending personnel, Wind Prince kept a promise with the Arcane Eternal Star. As for Zang Ge’s success, what does it have to do with Wind Prince? He sent the strongest able to enter This World; should anyone expect him to send Spellcasters against Shadow of Annihilation Law? For headgiving?

Reasonably, Wind Prince’s decision holds no issues, and he repaid Su Xiao’s kindness; afterward, they owe each other nothing. Wind Prince’s acquisition in Void Colosseum deeply pleased his unsmiling father. If problems arose on Wind Prince’s side, his father would smooth them over.

At the Iceberg’s peak, receiving Bubu Wang’s feedback, Su Xiao doesn’t plan to descend for a life-or-death duel with Zang Ge; the gains and losses aren’t proportional, plus he’s now in a poor state, having first fought Mo Yi·Nora, barely recovered, then traversed long distances to reach the Extreme Cold Northern Territory to extract Blade Demon Energy.

Su Xiao is now quite exhausted; it’s not about the severity of the injuries, but stamina and energy depletion, so he opts to return to Reincarnation Paradise.

The feeling of teleportation appears; Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, A Mu, and Bennie simultaneously leave Dark Raven World, leaving behind only Zang Ge in the Icefield. At this point, Zang Ge suddenly recalls a crucial issue; due to spatial compression upon arrival, his teleportation device is damaged. Now, how will he return to Void?

Tututu…

Zang Ge shivers in front of the fire pit in the cold wind. Though slightly heartbreaking, his determination remains; he’s an assassin, emotionless, expressionless.

If they ever meet again, A Mu surely would avenge the pinch. Bubu Wang, appearing considerate with the enemy, actually extracted substantial information from Zang Ge, including Zang Ge’s diet habits (inferences toward Zang Ge’s hometown location) and battle experience (further confirmation towards Zang Ge’s hometown location), showcasing absolute intelligence superiority.
