Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 978: Chapter 66: Irresistible Prize

”I have to say, the organizers of this Void Colosseum are showing great sincerity this time, which is the main reason for the ongoing prosperity of the Void Colosseum.

I announce that the reward for the champion of this Colosseum is...the Dragon’s Spirit of the Dragon of Resurrection!”

Hak held up the Dragon’s Spirit of the Dragon of Resurrection towards the audience.

”Roar!”

The audience erupted in excitement. If anyone was unaware of this item before, now everyone knew its origins.

The so-called Dragon’s Spirit of the Dragon of Resurrection is not something like a Dragon Crystal, as most dragons do not have Dragon Crystals. Only a very few dragons possess them.

As for what a Dragon Crystal is, simply put, it is an energy-storing organ of the dragons. Most dragons store energy in their flesh, and do not evolve the unnecessary Dragon Crystal.

Dragon Crystals are not as magical as the legends say. After a dragon’s death, the energy in their body dissipates quickly, and the same goes for the energy inside the Dragon Crystal; only an empty shell remains. Mages love Dragon Crystals because they can store elements for convenient use in battles.

Dragon’s Spirit, however, is not innate but artificially made. It involves extracting, compressing, and storing a dragon’s energy and soul within a short time of its death, resulting in the Dragon’s Spirit.

Dragons have enormous energy within, and after forcibly adding the dragon’s soul, it merely requires post-catalysis to get the Spirit. This is very valuable, but its uses are often limited.

However, the Dragon of Resurrection is different. The energy within this type of dragon is high-purity life energy. Once turned into a Spirit, the life energy within the Spirit can be directly absorbed. Most energies do not repel life energy, offering many benefits like healing injuries and extending life. If one’s energy highly matches with life energy, it can rapidly boost their strength.

Now, with the Void Colosseum presenting a Dragon’s Spirit of the Dragon of Resurrection, a Spirit as green as a gemstone, it is hard not to feel greedy.

Gulu. Insect Tribe Bank swallowed its saliva, feeling that if it consumed this, its life tier would greatly improve.

The Stone Man not far away clenched its fist, equally moved by the Dragon’s Spirit.

Su Xiao lit a cigarette, eyes fixed on the Spirit as the Blue Steel Shadow energy within him began to surge.

From the first glance at the Spirit, Su Xiao couldn’t take his eyes off it. He was certain that the energy within this Spirit was a kind of high-level biological energy, exactly what the Core of Devour needed.

If he could devour this Dragon’s Spirit, Su Xiao’s Blue Steel Shadow Ability would skyrocket like a rocket, reaching unimaginable levels.

If possible, he must acquire this item, Su Xiao decided secretly.

”The ten contestants have entered the arena, and the rewards for the top three are right here. Fight for this treasure within reach. If you aspire to become a renowned powerhouse, defeat your opponents, trample them into the sand, the melee... begins!!”

Hak dramatically announced the start of the contest. All ten contestants stepped forward simultaneously.

Su Xiao scanned the area, starting to observe his opponents. There’s no mistake, in this melee, the other nine are all opponents.

There’s no need to say much about Pibang. The four previous Demon Castle games gave Su Xiao some insights into Pibang’s combat style.

The Wind Prince is a very strong competitor. His combination of wind and water elements was unpredictable, both violently chaotic and eerily smooth.

Insect Tribe Bank is purely about strength and speed, with an innate pair of extremely sharp arm blades, combat seems to be Bank’s instinct.

The Stone Man is steadfast like a rock, either unmoving or like a landslide when in action. Just from his appearance, it’s clear his resistance is strong.

Iron Man is like an ancient version of Iron Man for the Void—a retro Iron Man. His seemingly old-fashioned Knight Armor is actually lightweight Battle Armor. The retro look was to deceive enemies; a typical cunning old fox.

The Drunk Woman’s ability is unknown, though the scorpion tattoo on her face turns crimson when she drinks. Her nickname, Red Scorpion, likely comes from this.

Aside from these six, the remaining three are slightly injured, and they huddled together as soon as the match began, sharing a sense of camaraderie. They struggled to advance to the top ten. In previous rounds, these three were seed candidates, but in this one, they are considered dead weight, the main reason for their inclusion being to mix things up.

”Looks like there’s no chance for a one-on-one with you.”

Pibang shoved a mouthful of spicy beef jerky into his mouth, eyes locked on Su Xiao.

Su Xiao said nothing; the situation in the arena seemed a bit dire, at least for him.

”Relax, I won’t gang up on you for now. I’ve decided to deal with those three rookies first.”

Pibang headed towards the three novices. This might seem like a waste of stamina, but it was actually a clever choice. After dealing with them, it’s less likely others will bother him, thus conserving stamina and possibly emerging as the final winner.

The Wind Prince, Stone Man, Iron Man, and Red Scorpion seemed to have an inclination to collaborate, and their target was none other than Su Xiao.

After hesitating for a moment, Insect Tribe Bank also headed towards the three rookies, making their situation even tougher. They just came to mix ranks, and now they’re facing a joint attack from Pibang and Bank.

”Gentlemen, the situation is clear now. Though I hate to admit it, the strongest combatant in the arena is this Annihilator.” 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The Wind Prince smiled at Su Xiao.

”Since our thoughts align, why don’t we temporarily form an alliance, take out the others, then settle the score? With four of us, securing the top four spots shouldn’t be difficult.”

Red Scorpion agreed with the Wind Prince’s proposal.

”Agreed, forming an alliance now is the best choice.”

Iron Man extended two electric whips from his arm, arcs of electricity dancing and stretching on the whips.

”Yeah, let’s deal with the salesmen first, they’re all liars.”

The Stone Man spoke in a muffled voice, scratching the tufts of yellowing grass on his head.

After reaching a preliminary agreement, the four began to converge on Su Xiao.

Su Xiao took a deep drag from his cigarette, exhaling a large cloud of smoke.

Zhēng~

Dragon Slash unsheathed, releasing a crisp blade song. He remained silent. If it were anyone else in this situation, they’d find it hard not to feel hopeless or panic.

However, Su Xiao was smiling, showing a full set of sharp white teeth.

Blue Steel Shadow energy wrapped around Dragon Slash, making it like a thunder blade. His Intuition Ability was fully active as a faint red aura emanated from Su Xiao, and the four not far away caught a faint scent of blood.

Su Xiao dropped the cigarette from his fingers, lowering his body.

BOOM!

The yellow sand splattered like pouring water. Su Xiao disappeared in an instant, charging towards the four oppressors, his first target Iron Man. This guy might seem to use electric whips, but his long-range firepower rivals that of the Wind Prince.

Rushing at high speed, Su Xiao’s black hair was tousled by the wind, and the hem of his windbreaker flapped loudly.

Iron Man’s heart raced as he realized Su Xiao’s target was him. At that moment, it felt like what was charging towards him was not a human but an enraged beast.
