Chapter 1657: Void Girl
[Attention! The hunter was exposed to the bloody aura of the ancient battlefield.
Due to the impact of the bloody aura, multiple fractures, severe internal bleeding and foreign blood particles were found in the body.
Do you want to fix all the detected defects? The treatment will cost a certain amount of Paradise coins.
yes/no.]
— Cure me, " Su Xiao muttered and clenched his fists. He could feel the thirst boiling in his chest.
This thirst wanted to make him kill everything in sight.
[Requires 21,500 Paradise Coins to remove foreign matter.
It takes 1,700 Paradise Coins to treat multiple fractures and severe internal bleeding.
It takes 57,200 Paradise Coins to remove foreign energy from the aura.
Payment was transferred and the treatment process started...]
A few minutes later, Su Xiao was sitting on the floor, breathing heavily.
Just clearing his aura alone had cost him more than 50,000 Paradise coins, and it had taken less than 30,000 coins to heal his body.
But even though he had lost some money, it made him think about something, and right now, he wanted to know how much progress he had made in improving his aura.
[Aura Release: Level 25 (+7) (Passive-Active skill).
Skill Effect: You can release your own aura and cover up to 38(+8) meters with it. When you touch the target, a willpower assessment will be triggered. If you fail, the target will fall into a state of panic, which can be eliminated by using skills like " Mind Cleansing».
Reminder: In a state of panic, the target will spend 30% more physical strength, its physical defense will be reduced by 18 points, and when the skill is activated, the target will have a 9% chance of failing activation..
Reminder: When you upgrade this skill, both your aura and your willpower will improve.
Reminder: Due to absorbing a large amount of pure blood aura, your willpower has been increased by 15 points.
Reminder: Due to absorbing a large amount of pure blood aura, your willpower has an increased rank.]
This skill has undergone significant changes. Its stats were greatly improved, and although its activation now did not directly damage the target, its improved effect more than made up for this change..
In the past, this ability would only show itself in all its glory against weak opponents who had weak willpower, but now it was different. Thanks to this skill, his willpower was increased by an entire rank, which would allow him to cast this very unpleasant effect on the opponent even if he had more willpower.
Although it no longer dealt direct damage, his aura had made a qualitative leap. While previously it could be used mainly against weak opponents, now it could also be used in one - on-one battles with strong creatures.
A 30% increase in physical costs and an 18 point reduction in physical defense couldn't be ignored by any fighter.
And, like the icing on the cake, this skill, moving to a new level, also improved his willpower, and this characteristic could not be improved in ordinary ways..
Su Xiao decided not to test this skill in action right now, but decided to restore his mana as quickly as possible. Since he didn't have any hidden opponents on that battlefield now, he was ready to go all in. This time, he only used a thousand mana to absorb the blood aura, but next time, he planned to spend all of his mana.
After resting and fully recovering his mana, he re-entered the skill improvement room.
[To upgrade the "Aura Release: Level 25 (Passive-Active Skill)" skill, you need to pay 80,000 Paradise Coins and 3 Medium Soul Crystals.
Do you want to improve this skill?
yes/no.]

The ground was blood-red, the sky was covered in dark clouds, and there were countless corpses everywhere you looked.
A blood vortex raged on the ancient battlefield.
Su Xiao was sitting cross-legged right under the blood vortex, and a simplified version of the fist-sized Devouring Core was floating above his head.
This version of the Devouring Core was especially noticeable in this ancient battlefield.
Three threads were connected to Su Xiao's arm. He had been here for almost an hour. During this time, nothing unexpected happened to him. There were only corpses now.
Lifting his head, he looked at the simplified version of the Devouring Core above him.
It can last at best half an hour.
This place was undoubtedly very well suited for enhancing one's aura, but this method wasn't without its drawbacks. If the impurities in his body became too much and things got out of his control, he would have to forget about using his aura for a while.
It was necessary to improve one's aura gradually and not too fast. Otherwise, if his aura got out of his control, it would become useless.
Just as Su Xiao was about to wrap up, a short figure ran happily along the hill in the distance, looking satisfied... happy?
— Bala ah-ah~, bala ah-ah~...
A figure about 1.2 meters tall, wearing a silver protective suit, walked towards Su Xiao while humming a song in an unknown language. Judging from the shape of her body, she was humanoid, and the slight bulge on her chest indicated that she was a woman.
This Void girl was holding a shovel and had a metal box on her back. Judging from her clothing and equipment, she was from a high-tech civilization. As for why she was in this place, she was obviously a treasure hunter, there were a lot of creatures like her in the Void.
She looked relaxed as she knew it wasn't dangerous. As long as she took every precaution and didn't touch the corpses, the guards of this place wouldn't bother her. In their eyes, she was just a small ant that was looking for something to eat.
This Void girl was in a good mood because she saw the blood cyclone a few minutes ago. Usually, such phenomena in this place indicated that some plant was absorbing nutrients for rapid growth, or it meant that some plant was about to bear fruit. In any case, usually such phenomena only indicated that her pocket was about to become a little heavier.
Although she couldn't dig up plants, she could harvest their fruits, and as long as she didn't break the local rules, the guardians wouldn't interfere with her.
— La-la-la~…
The Void girl was skipping towards the blood vortex, but she soon discovered that something was wrong, because there was a "corpse" sitting under the vortex, and that corpse got up for some reason!
The girl swallowed hard. Her slender legs began to shake, and the skin on her head felt numb, as if it had been electrocuted.
— An ambiguous sound came out of her mouth as that corpse looked at her.
Su Xiao was looking at the unknown girl. He was surrounded by blood energy, but he didn't feel it. Judging from her trembling body, was she scared? Or was she accumulating power to activate an ability?
*Boom!*
A wave of blood spread out in all directions from Su Xiao. The air began to distort due to this wave. His aura had become so strong that it now directly affected the air. It was no longer as ethereal and blurry as before.
Looking at Su Xiao, who was exuding a strong bloody aura, the girl screamed, threw the shovel in his direction with all her might, turned around and ran away.
As she fled, she muttered something, but it was impossible to make out what she was saying.
On the ancient battlefield that was filled with the corpses of powerful creatures, a "zombie" suddenly appeared with a strange ball hovering above it and a bloody vortex. It wasn't surprising that this girl was scared. In fact, the fact that she dared to throw her shovel at him was already something to be commended for.
Su Xiao's body was enveloped by a strange force, and then he was teleported back to Paradise.
