Chapter 855: Simplified Version
He was once again on the battlefield, and this time, the red mist immediately attacked Su Xiao.
Su Xiao's aura immediately began to resist this fog, but compared to last time, his aura was stronger this time, but the fog was also more intense, so his aura still wouldn't be able to resist this fog for long.
If Su Xiao wanted to absorb this mist with a core or a mark, then he needed to learn how to contain it first.
Right now, he couldn't do anything but try to restrain it with his aura. If he was distracted by anything else for even a second, his defenses would immediately collapse and this fog would engulf him in the blink of an eye.
But even as he endlessly tried to contain this fog, it gradually penetrated his body through the small cracks in his defenses and slowly drove him crazy.
Blood-red lines soon appeared on Su Xiao's cheeks, and his eyes turned red.
This fog was destroying his mind very quickly.
Su Xiao tried his best to stay in his mind, but he could feel his consciousness dissolving faster and faster. If it wasn't for the soul blade that granted him immunity to the effects of mental control, he would have been swallowed up by this fog long ago.
Just when Su Xiao was on the edge, a light and shadow flashed in front of him and he immediately found himself in the familiar skill improvement room.
On his body, there was no trace of the effects of that fog.
[Aura Release skill has been upgraded to Level 3.]
Su Xiao leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. His entire body was covered in cold sweat.
It was much harder than he'd thought to contain the fog. Not to mention absorbing it, it was difficult for him to even just block it.
— One more level.
30,000 Paradise Coins have once again disappeared from Su Xiao's account.
Once again, he appeared on the battlefield.
----
Half an hour later, Su Xiao appeared in the skill improvement room. His face was covered in blood-red wrinkles, and his eyes glittered red, as if he was a demon from hell.
In the next instant, green spots enveloped Su Xiao, and the red color gradually left his body.
— Khe-khe-khe... Along with coughing, Su Xiao spat out some blood. This sixth time, he tried to absorb the mist. As soon as the first specks of mist entered his body, he lost control.
After that moment, he didn't remember anything. When he came to, he was already in the skill improvement room. His body felt very heavy and fragile, as if he was seriously ill.
[Aura Release skill has been upgraded to Level 7.]
[Attention: The hunter was exposed to the energy of the ancient battlefield.
You want to recover with a certain amount of Paradise coins?
yes/no.]
— As soon as Su Xiao said that, his balance began to drain at an alarming rate.
In just one second, 13.500 Paradise coins disappeared from his balance.
— What the hell... Su Xiao couldn't help himself. Of course, he thought that the price of treatment would be high, but that so much?
However, the discomfort left his body. Su Xiao hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided to continue improving his new skill.
He ended up on the battlefield again. As soon as Su Xiao appeared, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to subconsciously release his aura in all directions, so that it began to block the thick blood-red mist.
Along with that, he began to compress the Qing Gang Yin energy near his heart.
He came here to improve his aura. Trying to improve his other skills at the expense of this place was useless — in the end, he would only waste a huge amount of coins on his own treatment.
At least for now he couldn't get distracted by his other skills.
And Su Xiao felt that he was already getting enough by improving his aura.
A five-meter circle was formed around Su Xiao. The light blue threads that glittered inside this ball were truly beautiful.
Time passed, and soon, Su Xiao's cheeks were covered in sweat. The fog around his orb caused it to shrink to two meters, and cracks appeared on the orb that was composed of Su Xiao's aura.
His aura gradually became stronger due to the endless pressure of this mist.
This fog didn't really want to kill Su Xiao — it was only trying to destroy all the obstacles in its path, and with each passing second, the pressure on the sudden obstacle was getting stronger and stronger.
As a result, blood-red spikes began to form in the mist, and they stabbed into Su Xiao's ball.
Soon, one of the thorns pierced through the back of Su Xiao's palm.
Immediately, blood-red lines began to spread out on his hand.
As the blood lines began to stretch towards Su Xiao's neck, his cheeks began to twitch.
*Whew~*
Su Xiao disappeared from the battlefield and returned to the skill improvement room.
The blood-red lines on Su Xiao's body separated from his skin and immediately disappeared into thin air.
[Aura Release skill has been upgraded to Level 8.]
Su Xiao's eyes opened. He could now hold back the fog for much longer. At the very beginning, he was teleported out of that battlefield in less than 5 seconds. Now, he could hold out there for about 48 seconds.
— Just a little more, " Su Xiao decided to continue. Although this ancient battlefield was very dangerous, often benefits couldn't be obtained without taking risks.
Ten minutes later, Su Xiao, covered in "blood streaks", fell to the floor.
He tried to absorb the mist again, but still failed.
[Aura Release skill has been upgraded to Level 10.]
[Notice: Since the Aura Release skill has been upgraded to Level 10, the Hunter can choose from one of the additional upgrades to choose from:
1. Iron ambition. Willpower +3 points.
2. The soul of the Shura. Allows you to create a blood Shura from the aura, which will increase the effect of the aura (the created Shura has no attack power).
3. Aura enhancement. Aura Intensity +10%.]
If a similar choice was given to him in the past, Su Xiao would definitely choose the first reward without any hesitation.
However, this time, Su Xiao had completely different thoughts.
After much thought, Su Xiao finally chose the third reward.
As soon as he confirmed his choice, Su Xiao's breath suddenly caught in his throat.
*Boom*
An extremely strong aura spread out in all directions, and this aura was getting stronger and stronger by the second.
After a while, Su Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
— Now maybe I have a chance, " Su Xiao said and took out a pack of chewing gum.
He popped one of the gummies into his mouth and thought about it.
Although he hadn't spent much mana, he wanted to come fully armed.
This time, he had to carry out his plan.
— I want to improve my aura release once again.
[To upgrade "Aura Release: Level 10 (Passive Skill)", you need to pay 50,000 Paradise Coins.
Do you want to improve this skill?
Su Xiao grinned.
The cost of upgrading has increased and is now even more unpleasant.
— Of course.
Light and shadows flashed in front of Su Xiao, and a moment later, he reappeared on the ancient battlefield.
He was already familiar with this place.
Immediately, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground and released his aura.
This time, he didn't feel as much pressure as last time.
Closing his eyes for a moment, Su Xiao realized that he could only last for 5 minutes at most.
Since time was running out, he needed to start implementing his plan as soon as possible.
Su Xiao quickly began to convert mana into Qing Gang Yin energy and gathered it in one place, compressing it to the maximum, then forming a small ball of the resulting substance.
After spending 1.200 mana points, there was a small ball of honeycomb in Su Xiao's hands.
The structure of this ball was so complex that an ordinary person would feel dizzy when looking at something like this.
But the ball in Su Xiao's hands continued to gradually grow larger and soon reached the size of an apple.
However, it wasn't enough. The ball created by Su Xiao using Qing Gang Yin's energy was very similar in structure to the Devouring Core.
He decided to create a simplified version of the Devouring Core that could absorb, purify, and filter energy.
Basically, this core was supposed to clean up. The fog of this battlefield was too complex and consisted of a huge number of different energies that couldn't be absorbed by its own core without additional treatments.
When he only had 300 mana points left, a simplified version of the basketball-sized Devouring Core hovered over Su Xiao's head.
He had created a full-fledged version of the Devouring Core in the past, so creating a simplified one wasn't too difficult for him.
