Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 1279: Chapter 94: Stan, Huang Yan, Blood Gate

The rapid rise in Su Xiao’s arena ranking not only caught the attention of many medium-sized adventure groups, but also two large adventure groups took notice: the Divine Emperor and the Blood Gate.

When Su Xiao defeated the fourth place, Crazy Fox and Huang Yan both noticed Su Xiao’s quick rise in ranking. Since they are second-in-command of the Divine Emperor and Blood Gate, their respective large adventure groups began to have an interest in intervening, as they also saw the benefits behind this matter.

Rising in the arena rankings is usually not too attention-grabbing, but Su Xiao’s leap from eleventh to fourth is beyond ordinary ranking promotion.

If Su Xiao challenges the second place, Huang Yan, the Blood Gate members will intervene. Although Stan has been cuckolded with a green hat, it just irritates him and did not cause any upheaval within the Blood Gate Adventure Group.

On the contrary, the scale of the Blood Gate actually drove further expansion. Stan being cuckolded wasn’t really shameful; the couple’s relationship had been disharmonious for a while. They stayed together purely due to a chain of interests.

Stan would also seek fun in the real world, but unfortunately, his wife’s choice for fun this time went too far by finding a Contractor, leading to issues with the team and interests.

Umbrella Brother might be remarkable in bed, as Stan’s wife planned to maintain a long-term relationship with him. This nearly angered Stan to death. Stan’s actual words were: ”I don’t care if you’re having a fling, but you actually found a Contractor and intend to keep this going long term? Are you bloody insane?!”

Stan’s wife only gave a charming smile. She is also quite a strong woman, and gave Stan a brand new Green Crown. But the new lover disappeared in no time, unlike the persistently solid Umbrella Brother. It was said Umbrella Brother’s in-law met a tragic end.

Given the current situation, once Su Xiao challenges Huang Yan, all Blood Gate members would show up. They might not host a betting game, but it’s highly possible they’d bet on Huang Yan’s victory with the Black Merchant. With their financial power, big bets are certain.

As the situation developed thus far, the Black Merchant is no longer spreading this matter, but suppressing it using his connections.

If Su Xiao really challenges Huang Yan, it’s the Black Sail Merchant Group that would suffer. They wouldn’t dare to offend either side. Su Xiao, who fought his way through, is not easy to provoke, nor is the Blood Gate. If the Black Merchant knew about the grudge between Su Xiao and the Blood Gate, they’d cry despairingly in the bathroom.

Black Sail Merchant Group is on the horns of a dilemma. Therefore, they sought help from Su Xiao. Of course, Su Xiao wouldn’t stop competing; missing this opportunity would mean advancing to the Fourth Tier.

The two parties failed to reach an agreement, and the gambling division naturally ended. But no conflicts arose between them, with the deal simply being terminated as the Black Merchant directly closed the betting.

If Su Xiao really battles Huang Yan, closing the betting won’t help. The Blood Gate’s bets cannot be refused by the Black Merchant. Pocketing the money and trying to run? Don’t joke around; without substantial power, such actions only invite deadly disasters.

Within the ruins, Su Xiao has bandaged his wounds. He doesn’t care about events outside the arena, as only those Contractors or Workers who have vested interests would be aware.

Even if Su Xiao reaches first place in the arena, his reputation wouldn’t spread far. Firstly, he’s hidden his appearance. Secondly, this is a Third-tier Arena, with 80% of those who know about this being Third-tier Contractors.

The Reincarnation Paradise is never short of explosive news, and besides, Su Xiao is about to advance to the Fourth Tier, so he cannot hold his ranking in the Third-tier Arena much longer.

A gentle breeze swept through; there was no audience for the battle between Su Xiao and White Crocodile. As long as both parties agreed, random battle scenes could be selected. This was a scene where watching was not possible.

Pain throbbed in Su Xiao’s arms and thighs, while White Crocodile, hiding in the belly of a gigantic alligator, grieved silently. Raising these alligators required great expense, and nearly a hundred had been slaughtered by Su Xiao, making him contemplate giving up this fight.

White Crocodile was about to ascend to the Fourth Tier. He had been stalling, waiting for both Crazy Fox and Huang Yan to rank up, as the arena’s title was too precious.

Nonetheless, Crazy Fox and Huang Yan hadn’t yet advanced to the Fourth Tier. With Su Xiao now reaching fourth place, White Crocodile felt deeply vexed.

Behind a stone pillar, the tremors in the ground tensed Su Xiao’s body. Those gigantic alligators were in pursuit again.

Su Xiao stepped out from behind the stone pillar, the toxin in his system completely annihilated by Blue Steel Shadow energy. The alligators summoned by White Crocodile had four traits: Toxicity, bite enhancement, bio-acid cannon, and living self-destruction.

Each enormous alligator was over ten meters long. Though their legs were short, they moved very fast and had attack abilities for both close and long range.

The Counter Shield floated around Su Xiao as his body crouched low. Blue Steel Shadow Energy clung to Dragon Slash.

Just as Su Xiao was about to charge towards the alligators, a loud shout echoed out.

”Wait!”

The voice came from the belly of one of the alligators—it was White Crocodile.

”Let’s talk.”

White Crocodile no longer wished to continue fighting. He previously thought Su Xiao was seriously injured, but now it seemed Su Xiao could kill a hundred or more alligators without issue.

Su Xiao could persist, but White Crocodile couldn’t take it anymore. Every time a giant alligator died, it equated to a significant loss of Paradise coins.

”With your strength, you should be about to advance to the Fourth Tier, right?”

White Crocodile remained unseen, as his body was somewhat fragile.

”...”

Su Xiao kept silent, unconcerned about resuming the battle.

”You win.”

After leaving this message, White Crocodile made the giant alligators vanish into thin air. He couldn’t fight any longer, and a further loss of a hundred alligators would affect his earnings in the next Derivative World.

[Match ended, 283 consecutive wins!]

Su Xiao returned to the rest area, collapsing onto the sofa with a thud. The previous high-intensity battle had severely affected his condition.

[Arena Competitor: Su Xiao.]

[Status: Exhausted.]

[Ranking: 3rd (Third-tier).]

[Consecutive Wins: 283.]

[Rewards for Top Ten: Received Third Place Reward.]

...

From tenth to third place, Su Xiao earned a total of 19 Ordinary Attribute Points, with 2 points for each match ranked 10–5, and 3 points for each match ranked 5–1.

Ordinary Attribute Points are not the main reward; the main reward is the [Glory of Victory], and with each rank Su Xiao rises, the attributes of [Glory of Victory] gradually strengthen. Now it has become:

[”Glory of Victory (Mark)”]

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Quality: Special Item

Category: Mark (usable within the Third Tier)

Durability: 150/150

Mark Effect: Life Value +600 points, Mana Value +600 points, Paradise’s infrastructure usage costs -9%.

Description: This is a reward for the victor.

Price: Not for sale.

...

If Su Xiao can defeat Huang Yan, this mark will be upgraded to a title. Titles are somewhat similar to equipment but do not occupy the equipment slot, and only one title can be equipped at a time.

Given Su Xiao’s current state, he is clearly unfit to battle Huang Yan and needs rest first. Once fully rested, Su Xiao will engage in a fight with Huang Yan.

Although Huang Yan is second-ranked in the arena, the battle between him and Su Xiao is bound to be fiercer than any confrontation with Crazy Fox, the first rank.

Su Xiao has some ties with the God Emperor Adventure Group, and as Crazy Fox is the second-in-command of the Divine Emperor, he naturally has had interactions with Su Xiao. The two cannot be considered friends but neither are they enemies. As for the arena, it is just a no-holds-barred fight, with little chance of enmity forming regardless of who wins.

Huang Yan is different. Su Xiao and the Blood Gate Adventure Group are arch-enemies, locked in a deadly rivalry. Besides, Huang Yan once hunted Su Xiao in the Holy Grail World.

Now, Su Xiao has the chance to openly confront Huang Yan. Once an unbeatable opponent, Su Xiao now stands a chance against him. This is an exhilarating experience; this is the charm of becoming stronger.

If Su Xiao doesn’t die in the next Derivative World, he will advance to the Fourth Tier, and his battle with Huang Yan may trigger a fight between him and the Blood Gate Adventure Group, which is an adventure group within the Fourth Tier.

Su Xiao certainly can’t oppose the entire Blood Gate Adventure Group, but he doesn’t believe that the Blood Gate members will always stand united.

Before battling Huang Yan, Su Xiao needs to rest. The enhancement of the Spirit of Wood concludes, and during the fight with White Crocodile, he didn’t equip the Spirit of Wood.
