Chapter 990: Arena
Su Xiao walked into the arena slower and slower.
Since his rating has been reduced to a near-minimum, he is likely to meet endlessly with very weak contractors right now.
*Pum*
A passing contractor brushed against Su Xiao's shoulder.
Su Xiao looked at him sideways and anger flared up in his heart.
The second-ranked contractor took a few steps back.
— Sorry, I digress, why are you... Are you looking at me like that? The second-ranked contractor's body shivered because of Su Xiao's gaze.
— I see, " Su Xiao said and walked on.
The anger that rose in his heart was not his own. If this had happened in the past, he wouldn't have cared about such a collision.
But just recently, he had absorbed the energies of the resurrection dragon. Although it was a very pure life energy, it belonged to a dragon, a very strong creature that was quite proud.
Of course, this energy didn't change Su Xiao in any way, but at least for a couple of days, he will be more irritable.
Fortunately, he could control his emotions well, he only needed to wait for a couple of days.
Su Xiao soon arrived at the arena.
Contractors kept coming in and out of the arena. This place, as always, was very popular, but it was logical, because here anyone could hone their combat experience without worrying about death.
Well, here you could also watch the fights of your favorites.
[You have entered the arena, please select the mode.
Competitive mode (?) / View Mode (?).]
«Viewing mode: You will be able to watch the battles of other contractors, the cost of the service is 5 Paradise coins per hour after choosing a battle.
Current number of fights: 7 354.
If you want to watch the battle of the top 100 arena, the cost of the service will be equal to 30 Paradise coins per hour.
If you want to watch the battle of the top 10 arena, the cost of the service will be equal to 100 Paradise coins per hour.
If you want to watch the battle of the top-3 arena, the cost of the service will be equal to 300 Paradise coins per hour».
Su Xiao had never watched other contractors ' battles and wasn't planning on doing so right now, so he immediately chose competitive mode.
[There are two competitive modes: "Individual Battles" and " Group Battles».
Please select the desired mode.]
As soon as Su Xiao chose individual battles, he immediately felt space ripple around him, and in the next moment, he was teleported to the break room.
The structure of the lounge was very simple: a crescent-shaped sofa and a coffee table in front of the sofa. On the coffee table, there were fruits, drinks, and so on that could be eaten for free.
The attitude towards third-rank contractors was quite different.
A semi-transparent screen floated in front of the sofa, displaying Su Xiao's information and rating.
[The Hunter's rating due to the transition to the third rank has been updated to 125,743 (third rank).).]
[Su Xiao.
Condition: Good.
Rating: 125,743 (Third rank).
Current winning streak: 0.
Top 10 Award: Not received.]
Su Xiao was currently ranked 125,743, which meant that there were more than 120,000 third-rank contractors.
This didn't mean that there were only one hundred thousand third-rank contractors. Losses among contractors were extremely high, and every minute dozens, if not hundreds, of contractors were dying in the derived worlds. It was difficult to calculate the exact number of third-rank contractors, but there were clearly more than a hundred thousand of them, since in addition to the losses, there were also new third-rank contractors appearing.
In addition, not everyone came to the arena, which is why they just might not have a rating.
[Selecting an opponent...]
[Check...]
[Selection completed, opponent's rating: 125 641.]
The opponent's rating was about a hundred higher than Su Xiao's, so he shouldn't be a difficult opponent.
A few seconds later, Su Xiao was teleported to a circular arena surrounded by a ring of spectator stands.
Due to the fact that Su Xiao was currently just another new third-rank contractor and was fighting a rookie like him, there were less than ten people in the spectator stands.
— Garlic, you can do it~!
— I feel like Garlic will lose out.
— It's impossible. Its defensive abilities are very strong. His opponent is obviously a melee fighter. He can't do anything with the Garlic.
The only people watching this fight were the friends of Su Xiao's opponent, so basically, this battle didn't have any viewers at all.
[Three... two...]
The countdown started. Su Xiao looked at his opponent.
He was very strange.
The strange thing about him was that this guy was holding a shield in each hand, and on his back was a large pot painted to look like a turtle shell.
On his head was a yellow helmet that occasionally flashed with a dark purple light.
His helmet was a dark purple quality.
This guy was completely wrapped in armor and seemed very unsure of himself. The only exposed part of his body was his eyes.
— I actually came across an opponent who has a rating worse than mine, I'm so lucky, " Garlic said and began to play with his eyebrows as he looked at Su Xiao.
His behavior was quite provocative.
[One... The battle has begun!]
The moment the battle started, Su Xiao's sword flew out of its scabbard and his eyes subconsciously looked around.
It was a habit developed through many battles.
Along with that, Su Xiao immediately released his aura, which had already become a kind of instinct.
Because of his aura, Garlic, who was more than ten meters away, suddenly felt a chill.
*Boom!*
Su Xiao charged towards his opponent like a cannon ball, and powerful gusts of wind were sent flying in all directions by his charge.
— Damn it! Garlic panicked. Initially, he thought that he had a chance to win. After all, his opponent's ranking was more than a hundred positions behind his own. In a rank three arena, a gap of a hundred places would make the battle a one-sided beating.
— Garlic, give up! a pretty girl shouted. Yes, you couldn't die in the arena, but it was quite possible to damage your equipment, and although it could be repaired with coins immediately after the battle, it would not be a very pleasant waste.
Hearing the shout from the spectator stands, Garlic immediately wanted to give up, but the aura had already hit his body.
Garlic felt a searing pain that made him want to scream.
*Whew~*
Before Garlic could react, he suddenly felt the world spin around him.
He even saw the familiar shields, except that they were cut in two.
When Garlic regained consciousness, he was already in the break room.
Garlic, who was holding half of the shields in his hands, was still standing in a defensive stance, which looked a bit funny.
After a few seconds, Garlic realized what had happened.
The difference between them was too great and he lost.
From behind his slashed shields, Garlic opened the recording of the battle with his lips trembling in despair.
[Notification: You were exposed to an unknown ability and panicked.
In this state, the physical power consumption rate is +27%, body defense has been reduced by 15 points, and when skills are activated, there is an 8% chance of unsuccessful activation..]
[Notice: You were dealt fatal damage, and therefore you lost, below is all the damage received and dealt during the battle..]
[You were exposed to an unknown energy and lost 205 Mana points.
You have received: 328 points of true damage + 240 points of damage with body protection ignored + 267 points of cut damage + 64 points of true damage + 305 points of normal damage + 438 points of lethal damage (from decapitation).]
[The damage received has exceeded your maximum amount of health.
Because of the arena's defense mechanism, your life was saved.]
Seeing a series of these scary notifications, the likes of which he had never seen before, Garlic swallowed.
He couldn't help but think about what would happen if he encountered such a monster in the derived world.
He would be doomed to die, and given the speed of his enemy, he might not even try to run away from it.
