Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 855: Brainstorming

After Solomon left for five minutes...

In the restaurant, Su Xiao handed 21,600 amusement park coins to Yan Chen; this was Yan Chen's brokerage fee.

Yan Chen left with a statement, "Remember to foot the bill and run away." He effortlessly earned 21,600 amusement park coins with just a few words, leaving him in a good mood.

Sitting alone in the restaurant, Su Xiao recalled Solomon's aura. Even if both sides were to engage in a conflict, his odds of winning wouldn't be high, at most fifty-fifty.

"The scholarly magician, worthy of the title 'Lord of Magic.'"

Su Xiao got up and headed towards the door. Just as he pushed it open, a petite figure approached him. It was a little girl in a red dress, sucking on a lollipop, carrying a travel bag emitting a strong smell of blood.

This girl in the red dress was Gu Lu, an expedition team member who loved killing and eating candy.

Their eyes met, and Gu Lu crunched the lollipop in her mouth.

"It's you, Spider-Man Bi Chi!! The one who can shoot webs."

Gu Lu's teeth itched with hatred, munching on hard candy.

"..."

Su Xiao remained silent and walked out of the restaurant. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Hey, how does being chased by Blood Gate's people feel?"

Upon hearing Gu Lu's question, Su Xiao paused.

"Oh? Did you send them to chase after me?"

"Of course... not. How could I do such a nasty thing? But you not being burned to death by Huang Fen was surprising."

Gu Lu's expression changed to a smile on her face. "Stan must be furious. If that's the case, how about we make a deal?"

Gu Lu's personality could be described as erratic. Initially wanting to devour Su Xiao alive, she wanted to make a deal.

"A deal?"

"Yes, a deal. Return the Hunt Demon Ring to me; I can provide crucial information. It concerns your life and death. Aren't you curious why Stan sent people to chase you? If Blood Gate isn't wiped out, they will continue pursuing you until your demise."

It seemed that Gu Lu still yearned for the Hunt Demon Set. Su Xiao needed one piece to activate the set's attributes. How could he give up?

"Not interested."

Su Xiao turned and left, leaving Gu Lu behind.

"Bi Chi, Bi Chi, Bi Chi... Ah, my beloved Hunt Demon Ring. This guy is not easy to fool, but... why are Blood Gate's people chasing after him?"

Gu Lu scratched her head. She didn't know why the people from Blood Gate were after Su Xiao. She only discovered that Blood Gate's vice-captain, Huang Fen, went to the Second-Tier World to chase after Su Xiao through a particular channel, but the reason was unknown.

...

Not only was Gu Lu curious about why Blood Gate was chasing Su Xiao, but Su Xiao himself was also interested. Their grudge with Blood Gate shouldn't be significant enough for Stan to send people specifically to the Second-Tier World to chase him.

However, there were too few clues, and Su Xiao could only watch and wait.

After browsing the trading market for a few laps and not finding any suitable equipment or items, Su Xiao headed straight for the Skill Upgrade Hall.

The war world had just ended, and the Skill Upgrade Hall was bustling with people. The bunny girls and cat girls inside were busy handling the incoming contractees.

"Lord Contractee, may I help you with..."

A smiling, slightly weary bunny girl bowed to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao waved his hand, indicating he didn't need assistance. The bunny girl breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, and went to attend to other contractees.

Su Xiao walked towards the depths of the Skill Upgrade Hall. Each skill upgrade compartment showed 'in use.' Fortunately, there were plenty of them. After walking a distance, he found an unused skill upgrade compartment.

When entering the compartment, the door automatically locks. Su Xiao took out the 'Aura Release' scroll and hesitated before using it.

"You've used the 'Aura Release' skill scroll; aura solidifying in progress..."

Su Xiao stood still in the skill upgrade compartment. His aura was ultimately released, but fortunately, the room was sealed.

Usually, even if Su Xiao intentionally released his aura, it would be colourless. It would only take on colour and form in others' eyes after causing them to feel intimidated. However, this time was different. Su Xiao's aura began to condense, gradually becoming visible from being invisible.

Soon, a faint red aura appeared in the skill upgrade compartment. Within this faint red aura were numerous faint blue threads, barely noticeable without careful observation.

After about half an hour, Su Xiao's vision cleared.

"So, this is Aura Release?"

Su Xiao surveyed the aura around him. The faint red represented his high number of kills, and those invisible blue threads were somewhat similar to the attributes of the Azure Steel Shadow energy.

Opening the skill list revealed a new skill.

[Aura Release Lv.1 (Passive)]

Skill effect: Can release aura. If the opponent's willpower is lower than yours by 3 points, they will fall into a state of panic. The panic status can be removed using mind purification skills.

Reminder: If the enemy is panicking, stamina consumption is +12%, body defence -6. There is a 3% chance of skill failure when released.

Reminder: This skill, when improved, will increase aura intensity and slightly enhance willpower.

...

Seeing the attributes of Aura Release Lv.1, Su Xiao was taken aback. He was already aware of weakening the enemy, but after mastering this skill, he was surprised to find that it could also enhance aura intensity and willpower.

To enhance willpower was a scarce opportunity, yet this golden-quality skill scroll had such an ability.

Su Xiao immediately activated the function of the skill upgrade compartment. A prompt appeared.

"Welcome to use the skill upgrade compartment. Please choose the skill to be upgraded."

Su Xiao selected [Aura Release Lv.1 (Passive)], and the prompt reappeared.

"To improve 'Aura Release Lv.1 (Passive),' you must pay 30,000 amusement park coins. Yes/No."

Su Xiao thought it was pretty expensive. To increase one level required 30,000 coins, while previously, enhancing firearm proficiency cost only 2,000 coins per level.

Although the price was high, it didn't require soul crystals. Su Xiao would end up bankrupt if another skill required soul crystals for upgrades.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao chose to upgrade.

Suddenly, the surroundings dimmed, and a sense of teleportation occurred. Subsequently, Su Xiao found himself on an ancient battlefield. Corpses littered the ground, and a faint red mist hovered over the battlefield.

A giant dragon had its head severed, and the bodies of numerous powerful beings were scattered around. The bodies of demon goats emitted a sulfuric smell. Any of these creatures' bodies had the strength to overpower Su Xiao easily.

The red mist on the ancient battlefield began to invade Su Xiao, seeming to enhance him.

However, it wasn't an enhancement; if Su Xiao were consumed by this mist, even if he didn't die, he would likely suffer from mental disorders.

Su Xiao's aura exploded, and the faint blue threads within his aura shimmered.

The blood aura on the ancient battlefield started compressing Su Xiao's aura. He had to use all his strength to protect himself from the blood aura's corrosion.

Su Xiao hadn't expected such risks in upgrading skills, but now, he couldn't stop and had to continue.

The blood aura from the ancient battlefield seemed to want to swallow Su Xiao, but of course, he wouldn't just wait for his doom. He used his aura to resist, but the blood aura was too strong, and his aura couldn't stop its invasion.

Gu Lu Gu Lu...

Su Xiao's aura completely turned blood-red, and simultaneously, his eyes began to emit a red light.

Suddenly, the sense of teleportation reappeared. When Su Xiao regained his senses, he was back inside the skill upgrade compartment, and the blood aura that had invaded his body had been completely cleared.

[Aura Intimidation (Passive) has been upgraded to Lv.2.]

[Reminder: Your willpower +1 point.]

...

Seeing these two prompts, Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. The feeling just now... seemed quite reasonable. If his aura were stronger, he could devour the blood aura on the ancient battlefield. Could he use that aggressive aura to enhance his ambience? He could create a unique skill.

This method would be too risky for everyone, but Su Xiao possessed the Devouring Core and the Demon Seal, which can be devoured and filtered. If he could consume and purify the violent blood aura, turning it into energy suitable for his atmosphere, his aura might rapidly improve.

This approach was hazardous, but Su Xiao felt it was feasible.

"Continue the upgrade."

As soon as Su Xiao said this, 30,000 amusement park coins were deducted, and the sense of teleportation occurred again.
