Chapter 683: Couldn't Save face
[You have entered the arena, please select the mode.
Competitive mode (?) / View Mode (?).]
Su Xiao chose competitive mode.
[Competitive mode has been selected, please choose the battle type:
Individual Battles / Group Battles.]
He naturally chose an individual battle. Although Su Xiao could also choose a group battle and include random selection of companions, he was more used to fighting alone.
While Su Xiao was choosing the mode, Bubtney was already waiting in line to watch his upcoming battle.
[Selecting an opponent...
Current Hunter Rating: 1.230 (Second Rank).
Selection completed, starting the teleportation process...]
Five seconds after this notification, Bubtney was moved from the break room to the bleachers.
Lights and shadows flashed before Su Xiao's eyes. When his vision cleared, he was already in a 50x50 meter arena. There was a transparent energy shield around the arena, and a circle of stepped benches outside.
Since this was a battle between second-ranked contractors with a pretty good rating, all 5,000 seats were filled in almost an instant.
— Wind King, I love you!
— The wind King is the most beautiful man in the world!
Su Xiao turned his head and looked at the stands because of the loud female shouts.
He was shocked when he discovered that more than 80% of the viewers were young girls.
He must have met a local star again.
Stars everywhere made a lot of money and had their own fans, and contractors with good looks and good strength were no exception.
After that, Su Xiao looked at his opponent. He was a handsome guy with blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing silver armor, and on his belt was a knight's sword encrusted with several precious stones, however, these precious stones were all decorative and had no real power.
This guy's blonde hair was carefully styled, and his short beard was very well groomed, giving his fair face a masculine look.
— Hello, I'm the Wind King, " the Wind King said and bowed slightly to Su Xiao.
He was wearing a pair of white gloves.
Su Xiao felt strange when he looked at him, and it wasn't that he was just pretending to be God knows what. From his tone, mannerisms, and gestures, it was obvious that even if he wasn't a true knight, he at least came from a family with a long history.
This strange sensation puzzled Su Xiao.
The wind king kept a smile on his face. The battle was still over ten seconds away.
He waved to the girls in the stands, which caused a new wave of cheers..
Although the Wind King seemed to have completely given himself over to his audience, he was actually watching Su Xiao closely in his peripheral vision.
There was a very unpleasant feeling in his heart.
His opponent, wearing a red metal mask that covered the lower half of his face, looked at him calmly. Although he didn't say anything like that, his calm eyes made Wind King's throat go dry.
— A guy who likes to kill people, just like my brother, it's not good, " Wind King muttered and silently pulled out a knight's sword from his belt.
The moment the Wind King drew his sword, Su Xiao finally understood why his opponent gave him such a strange feeling.
There was no "smell of blood" coming from his opponent».
And the "smell of blood" in this case was not just a smell, but rather an aura that a person acquired after killing.
Most of the contractors had a faint "blood smell". Su Xiao himself literally smelled of blood, which made many contractors unwilling to provoke Su Xiao in the derived worlds.
[Three... two... one... The battle has begun!]
All restrictions along with this notification were lifted from Su Xiao.
A dragon Flash appeared in his hands, and when he stepped on the ground, he immediately charged forward as if he was a projectile fired from a cannon.
*Boom!*
His lunge was more like a bomb exploding.
Su Xiao's ferocious momentum silenced most of the spectators in the stands.
Su Xiao's figure completely disappeared. To the Wind King, only an afterimage of it remained. Sixty points of agility plus the effect of his boots made Su Xiao comparable to a ghost.
Feeling a sharp gust of wind, the Wind King immediately raised his sword, but it was already too late.
A light blue energy shield hit his forehead. With a crash, the Wind King staggered and saw the stars in front of him, but immediately subconsciously lunged forward, however, instead of a successful attack, he felt a strong pain in his lower abdomen.
After spitting out his lunch, he decided to immediately use his strongest move, but his right hand stopped working.
*Boom!*
The wind king quickly flew back and crashed into the barrier. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind. He only thought that his opponent definitely wasn't from the top 1000, he thought that he might very well be from the top-30.
The wind King was well known in the arena. He had a lot of female fans, so he often fought his opponent face-to-face, but this time, he couldn't even respond to him.
Just as he was about to stand up, a sudden chill ran through his body, causing his pupils to dilate.
Su Xiao calmly shook off the blood from the Dragon Flash, and the blood soon turned into light spots before it even touched the ground.
His battle plan was actually very simple. The first thing he did was to rush towards the opponent at high speed, activate the energy shield and attack the opponent with it.
While his opponent was thinking about how he could defend against this energy shield, he stopped controlling the shield and attacked the opponent with his foot in the stomach, before placing threads at the place of his landing, and while he was flying into a death trap, he additionally attacked him with his sword.
The first encounter with the Wind King caused him to lose an arm, and before he could even hit the barrier, he died.
----
In the arena.
Su Xiao defeated his opponent so quickly and neatly that the audience in the stands started cheering.
Not long after, Su Xiao was teleported to the break room.
[The individual battle has come to an end, you have won!]
[Sixty-first win in a row!]
[Hunter rank increased from 1.230 to 1.180 (Second Rank).).]
Although Su Xiao had won 61 consecutive times, his advancement in the ranking table wasn't very fast. The second rank was different from the first. It could be said that the first rank was designed to adapt new contractors, and the second level was the real beginning.
But right now, Su Xiao was full of energy, and his strength had increased significantly. Of course, he would continue to fight for promotion.
If the rewards for reaching the top 10 were about the same as the first rank, only much better due to the fact that it was still a second rank top 10, then he was bound to make it to the top-10.
If he made it to the top 10 or even ranked first, the benefits he would get from doing so would be comparable to completing a single derivative world.
