Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 973: Chapter 61: Round 2

Ten hours later, inside the Alchemy Lab in the treehouse.

Su Xiao sat in front of an experiment table, his hands glowing, as his mana was being consumed while several materials floating between his palms were catalyzed.

He casually picked up a fiery red wooden block, and the prototype of an alchemical raven began to take form. About ten seconds later, an alchemy raven was completed.

This manufacturing efficiency would surely leave most alchemists in awe. Su Xiao is proficient in close combat, a field most alchemists are not skilled in. Close combat requires strong reaction and improvisation abilities, which significantly aid in alchemy.

Having produced a large number of alchemical ravens, Su Xiao mastered the manufacturing of these alchemical creatures. From initially taking 10 minutes to produce one, to 5 minutes per raven. After crafting dozens, his speed reached a remarkable 2 minutes per raven.

Producing an alchemy raven in 2 minutes is not his limit. After crafting over a hundred alchemical ravens, Su Xiao’s manufacturing speed reached one per minute.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After making several hundred alchemical ravens, his speed increased to 46 seconds per raven.

This still isn’t the limit. Now, Su Xiao can make alchemical ravens even with his eyes closed.

After producing nearly a thousand alchemical ravens, his speed reached 32 seconds per raven.

Catalyzing materials, constructing the alchemical creature’s core, building the core array map, finally shaping, and perfecting.

The steps may seem numerous, but it’s a process of practice makes perfect, that’s how knowledge accumulation works.

At this moment, the Tree Sage was observing Su Xiao’s alchemical creature crafting through a transparent stone tablet, clearly astonished.

This old alchemist couldn’t understand how Su Xiao could produce an alchemical creature in such a short time, and what surprised him even more was that while Su Xiao reduced the manufacturing time, the creatures he produced were becoming more refined.

”Perhaps this is a kind of talent, but it doesn’t have much use.”

The Tree Sage lost interest. Speed doesn’t equate to high quality. A high-level alchemical creature is more valuable than thousands of low-level ones.

While Su Xiao was engrossed in alchemy, a message came from Bubu Wang. The long distance made communication inconvenient and cost Paradise coins.

’The second round draw starts in 30 minutes, and the second round match starts in an hour.’

Su Xiao had about thirty minutes remaining, and teleporting back would take around ten minutes.

After quickly making a few more alchemical ravens, Su Xiao picked up some materials he had never used before, beginning to manufacture an alchemy item similar to a signal receiver.

Soon, a simple ’array diagram coordinate receiver’ was finished, about the size of a thumbnail, gray, soft in texture, and with a strong adhesiveness when activated.

”This should do it.”

Su Xiao stored the ’array diagram coordinate receiver’ in his storage space and got up to head outside the treehouse.

Opening the door, Lily was playing with a small Tree Man, while the Tree Sage was reading a book.

”Tree Sage, can I take what I made with me?”

Su Xiao had a good plan in mind.

”Of course, as I said before, the materials I provide you, anything made from them belongs to you personally.”

”Thank you.”

Su Xiao turned back to the room and stored all the alchemical ravens inside the room into his storage space. The total number of alchemical ravens reached 896. If all were activated, it would create a vast dense black cloud, but alas, having not mastered basic summoning abilities, Su Xiao could only enhance and control one summoned creature at a time.

”Your alchemy improved? So quickly?”

Lilymu stretched with a graceful curve.

”Not that quick. That teleportation formation can be used multiple times, right?”

”A maximum of five times.”

”Enough.”

Su Xiao and Lilymu headed outside the treehouse and returned to the teleportation formation nearby. About ten minutes later, they returned to the Void Colosseum’s lounge.

”Quick in, quick out. The teleportation formation can’t last long.”

Lilymu was repairing the teleportation formation to prevent accidents during teleportation, while Su Xiao left the lounge and headed to the notary office.

Arriving at the notary office, Su Xiao detected a faint smell of blood. Many competitors were present, fewer than before.

A total of 260 competitors, the first round was a 1V1 elimination round, leaving 130 competitors for the second round.

Actually, only 76 remained after the first round. Casualties were inevitable in battles, mutual destruction was not uncommon, and many were too injured to continue even if they qualified for the second round.

If the battles continued at this pace and were brutal enough, fewer than 20 competitors might remain after the second round.

Su Xiao aimed to complete the fifth round by ranking in the top 20. If the remaining competitors fell below 20, he would bypass the fifth round in the Demon Castle.

Completing the trial at the Demon Castle would open many choices for Su Xiao, like aiming for top three or withdrawing to return to Reincarnation Paradise.

The air in the notary office was a bit oppressive, a result of the Arena’s harsh rules. Most of the remaining 76 competitors were injured.

”The results of the second round draw are in. The Battle Arena will reopen in 30 minutes.”

The Snake-haired Lady gestured for competitors to check their badges. Su Xiao unfolded his badge and saw ”17/106” on one side, indicating his opponent is number 17.

Su Xiao contacted Bubu Wang, and a few minutes later, Bubu Wang arrived. It looked like it had been somewhere sooty; its white fur was stained black.

”Did you go to Africa for business?”

Bubu Wang looked a bit awkward, its small eyes seemingly saying, ”It’s a long story, my dog’s life is full of hardships, my clients are a bunch of fools.”

Not worrying about what kind of ’clients’ Bubu Wang had encountered, Su Xiao was more curious about opponent number 17.

Knowing Su Xiao’s opponent’s badge number, Bubu Wang took out a tablet and played a battle recording. While Su Xiao was away from the arena, Bubu Wang gathered details of other competitors for him.

”Is that... an angel?”

Su Xiao’s opponent’s appearance was peculiar: a male with white wings, combined with golden hair, resembling an angel at first glance.

Bubu Wang’s paw raised, its soft pads typing rapidly.

’Yulu, from the Holy Wing Tribe, winged back, skilled in flying, with extreme flying speed, weapons are feathers + some energy. That energy is similar in nature to telekinesis ability. Suspected to be purified life energy, it lacks the versatility of telekinesis ability but enhances the penetration and sharpness of feathers. When eroded by that life energy, speed significantly decreases and bleeding doesn’t stop, suppressing regeneration ability or recovery energy...’

Bubu Wang’s information was comprehensive, as it fought alongside Su Xiao for a long time. Although it never joined the frontline battle, its perceptiveness was notable.

With the opponent’s intel in hand, Su Xiao walked briskly toward the Battle Arena while Bubu Wang continued to seek out its clients for ’big business.’ Su Xiao strongly suspected Bubu Wang’s negotiations involved coal trading.
