Chapter 1465: Thank you
When Su Xiao regained consciousness, there was darkness all around him and he couldn't move.
The next moment, he was in zero gravity, but right after that, he felt solid ground under his feet.
After taking a few awkward steps, he saw a few maple leaves in front of him.
The surrounding area was pitch black, and right now, Su Xiao could only see a tall black maple tree in the distance.
As soon as he started walking towards the black maple tree, the scene around him gradually filled with color.
Soon, Su Xiao came to the emerald green grass. A green area that was a hundred meters in diameter gave him a sense of security and drove the chaotic darkness away by tens of meters.
As a light breeze blew, the black maple tree in the center of the meadow rustled. An old man with ragged clothes and unbound white hair was sitting under a tree. He looked a little shabby, but his eyes were quite special, they were so dark that they would make anyone flinch.
— You came, you little bastard, " the old man muttered and looked at Su Xiao before gently stroking the black maple tree behind him.
There was a bit of bark missing from the trunk of the black maple tree.
When he touched the hole, the old man's expression was no longer calm. His face started twitching, as if he was in a lot of pain.
— After saying that, Su Xiao walked over to the old man and sat cross-legged on the grass a few meters in front of him.
— The old man looked at Su Xiao in surprise, then smiled and nodded. — Then I wish you luck." If a swordsman grows a black maple tree, there will be a lot of people who want to come to him sooner or later, " The old man sighed slightly as he thought about his past.
— You're not going to take it back?
Su Xiao had met this old man once before and knew who he was. He was Marvin Waltz's master, a very fierce old man. This old man had trapped the Sword Demon in his body and swallowed it, turning it into his own power in the end.
— It's your luck or fate, it has nothing to do with me. What belongs to me will find me sooner or later. Something that doesn't belong to — " The old man didn't continue. There was a clear contradiction in his words. The first half of what he said sounded like it was "immortal", but the second half sounded like he was a gopnik who was willing to take something away from another person.
— This is the first time I've heard anyone talk so openly about a robbery.
Su Xiao wasn't in much of a hurry because he understood why he was brought to this old man again.
He was about to face a choice, a choice in swordsmanship.
— Young man, don't use such harsh words. If you can take something for yourself by force, then this is how fate has decreed with this thing. Although it sounds rude from the outside, this method of solving cases is much better than any undercover games. Everything in the Void works according to this law. Someone can come up with a lot of laws, but no law will be truly fair.
The old man seemed to be in a good mood right now.
After pouring out his thoughts, his expression became serious.
— Coming here means you've reached the point where you need to make a choice. Everything is still as I said earlier. You have two options. Now I will explain everything in more detail. You can continue to improve your swordsmanship in the usual way, or you can break the shackles and reach a higher level....
After listening to the old man, Su Xiao understood what he wanted to convey back then. In the Reincarnation Paradise system, Su Xiao's swordsmanship would reach its limit at level 50.
Right now, Su Xiao had two options to choose from. The first one meant finding an opportunity to overcome the limit, and the second one meant moving to a better level.
In terms of difficulty, breaking the limit was actually much easier than upgrading to a higher level.
As for which level was higher than 'Master', Su Xiao only had some guesses about it.
— Choose one. Of course, you have another, more extreme option, but... " The old man grinned ominously, his dark eyes narrowing. — If you choose the third option, you will immediately become tens, maybe even hundreds of times stronger, but whether you will remain the person you are now is unknown. Your consciousness may disappear in the process. For many creatures, this has become a point. Considering that you grow a black maple tree, the second option is actually more suitable for you.
Su Xiao said nothing. He already knew how crafty the Shadows of the Law were when giving advice to others. This old man was also a very 'good' mentor, but at least he had at least recommended a relatively safe choice to Su Xiao.
Should he have tried to level up this skill further, or should he have tried to upgrade to a better level? The first option was relatively simple and seemed more effective in the early and middle stages, but in the later stage, it would not be able to counter anything to enemies who took the second path.
Simply put, the first option gave strength immediately and increased it for some time after, while the second option gave strength gradually and its limits were not so obvious.
Since swordsmanship was Su Xiao's main ability, he would certainly choose the option that didn't have such obvious flaws.
— I choose the latter, " Su Xiao said after weighing the pros and cons».
— Most of the Shadows of the Law chose this option. When your black maple tree blooms, you will know that you made the right choice — " the old man raised his hand, and with a bang, the surrounding darkness shattered.
A black light floated out from the black maple tree and sank into Su Xiao's body.
— As the only existing Shadow of the Law, you don't need to restore the broken balance, and you don't have any mission. You just need to let those mages in the Void know that we elemental guardians won't fall at the hands of idiots like them. Death is not the end, but only a period of silence. Standing up, the old man put his hands behind his back and began to slowly walk away with a faint smile on his face.
— Don't be so mysterious. I didn't understand the second part of what you said.
— … — the old man's smile froze. "Simply put, teach these mages a lesson. Little thief, there's not much I can do to help you, and I don't need you to pay for my help, " apparently feeling a little awkward, he immediately disappeared.
— It's clear. Thanks.
The power of space enveloped Su Xiao.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already sitting on the bed in his exclusive space, and a large number of notifications were already hanging in front of him.
