Su Xiao glanced at his remaining Life Value, and a bottle of alchemy potion slipped out from his sleeve. He opened the potion, poured it into his mouth, just about to swallow, when a burning pain exploded from the chest where he was previously hit. "Cough cough cough, pfft～." Get full chapters from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁 The potion, now in his mouth, was spit out. Su Xiao actually choked on it~. Such a situation was unheard of, Su Xiao had never even heard of anyone choking while drinking a potion~. While Su Xiao was dry coughing, two scorpions moved in closer. These two elite scorpions were working in perfect harmony, and their Life Energy was incredibly resilient. Su Xiao realized clearly that something was wrong with the current situation, very wrong, he couldn’t let it go on , or he might absurdly die at the hands of two elite scorpions. His aura began to change, and at that moment, the sound of armored feet stepping on a metal surface echoed around. Five elite scorpions slowly emerged, joining the current two, making a total of seven. "Looks like I have no choice but to use that move." Su Xiao glanced at the remaining Mana Value, more than 1000 points left, enough. The blue steel shadow energy enveloping Dragon Slash began to change, seeming to vibrate at high speed. Mana within Su Xiao’s body rapidly decreased, 100 points, 200 points, 300 points, until it consumed 1000 points; then, the mana consumption stopped. A piercing buzz resonated as Dragon Slash transformed into a blade of high-speed vibrating electricity. Su Xiao had previously tried developing the blue steel shadow energy, hoping to amplify sharpness, but blue steel shadow didn’t possess such attributes, so his idea was to make the blue steel shadow energy vibrate. Countless attempts failed because the energy’s vibrating frequency differed during continuous transmission, causing the energy to dissipate quickly. Not long ago, Su Xiao had a hypothesis, since continuous energy transmission couldn’t work, what would happen if a large surge of energy was transmitted? The answer was enormous Mana consumption, yet the blue steel shadow energy successfully vibrated! Seven elite scorpions surrounded Su Xiao, it was almost desperate, but before the elite scorpions could charge, Su Xiao took the initiative to advance forward. He quickly stepped forward twice and arrived in front of an elite scorpion, and sliced out with one strike. The purple quality Dragon Slash couldn’t easily break through the elite scorpion’s armor shell, even with high sharpness, it wasn’t enough. Green blood splattered out, Dragon Slash cut through the elite scorpion’s body like a piece of paper, slicing it into two pieces. Blue blade aura sparkled as Su Xiao darted swiftly among the elite scorpions. Slaughtering one scorpion, his long knife sliced along the ship’s hull, cutting through the special alloy hull like it was tofu. Ten seconds later, the high-speed vibrating energy on Dragon Slash dissipated, leaving Su Xiao with only 106 mana points. Su Xiao flicked the green blood off Dragon Slash, the blood arced into a semi-circle on the ground, the shattered bodies of seven elite scorpions scattered around him, three purple treasure chests glowed with their unique radiance. Su Xiao stored the three palm-sized treasure chests away, having not opened the previously obtained Chief’s Package due to the simple reason that in the absence of storage space, drawing out large items would become a burden. After securing the chests, Su Xiao frowned deeply, noticing that the drop rate of treasure chests today was unusually high, as if his bad luck had been overdrafted earlier. After dealing with the seven elite scorpions, Su Xiao did not leave the ship, instead standing on alert. "How did you find me? I didn’t even dare to breathe." A female voice emerged, first appeared a pale white hand, with the gold number 8 tattooed on the back. "So, how about it? Scared? I’m ranked eighth in the arena, so I’m giving you a chance to run away." Ada emerged, casually playing with a gold coin in her hand, holding no weapon, a smile gracing her face. A heavy iron plate fell from above, crashing near Su Xiao, spreading a shockwave outward. Su Xiao’s windbreaker fluttered with the impact, revealing a faint glimpse of a gold number 9 inside his collar. "What a coincidence, turns out you’re ranked ninth." Ada noticed Su Xiao’s King of Arena mark and scratched her head. "Even though you are ninth, you should be the one running. I’m closer." Ada began persuading him to retreat; she didn’t want to taste Su Xiao’s exquisite sword technique; she cherished her own skin, and getting slashed was painful. Su Xiao evaluated Ada from top to bottom. Although her appearance wasn’t absolutely stunning, it was quite pleasant to the eyes. "Lucky day, meeting a contractor ranked in the top ten in the arena, it’s been a long time since I battled someone in the top ten in the arena." Ada suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. "Only three derivative worlds." Upon hearing Su Xiao’s words, Ada was speechless. To be ranked ninth in the arena three derivative worlds ago, the weight of this ninth rank was somewhat exaggerated. As they stood off, Ada seemed to think of something amusing and suddenly laughed. "Sorry, sorry, I’m not laughing at what you said. I just have never seen someone as unlucky as you, I just activated the aura, and you consecutively got unlucky thirty-seven times, that’s too much, thirty-seven times, hahahaha～." Su Xiao felt his heart tighten; it seemed the previous bad luck had a reason. "I had an agreement with the queen of the insect tribe before, promising to help her fend off enemies, although you are much stronger than a first-tier contractor, a promise is a promise and cannot be broken." Ada put away her smile, looking solemnly at Su Xiao, as a wave spread out. After the wave spread, Su Xiao immediately received a prompt. [You have received the ’Bad Luck Overdraft Aura’ effect.] As soon as the first aura appeared, the second one came swiftly after. [You have been eroded by the ’Fate Fog Aura’, receiving 0.1～10 points of True Damage every second, with an added effect of Luck Degeneration.] A thin golden thread linked Su Xiao and Ada, Su Xiao faintly felt that something of his was temporarily taken, and there was a special aura eroding his body. [You have been eroded by Fate Fog, receiving 10 points of True Damage!] [You have been eroded by Fate Fog, receiving 9 points of True Damage!] [You have been eroded by Fate Fog, receiving 10 points of True Damage.] Su Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply, inwardly calling out what a powerful skill, dealing 9 to 10 points of true damage every second. Ada across from him was stunned, shocked by her own skill’s astonishing effect. She swore she had never seen the aura deal 10 points of actual damage to anyone since she acquired it. Never. "Quite a strong ability." Su Xiao pushed off the ground with his foot, rushing towards Ada. Ada’s pale cheeks flushed red, as this skill usually dealt 0.3 to 4 points of erosion damage to the enemy, with the strongest aspect being the Luck Degeneration effect thereafter. Watching the continuous prompts coming in, Ada’s confidence swelled, previously having not much faith in battling Su Xiao, but now she realized it seemed feasible. "I can do this, yeah, no problem." Ada also charged at Su Xiao, unarmed! There weren’t many who dared to confront Su Xiao barehanded, Ada joined that list today. Su Xiao reached Ada in a few steps, slashing his blade towards Ada’s throat, the high Agility attributes and nerve reflex speed leaving a trail of afterimages from his slash. Ada felt a chill over her, knowing the blade wouldn’t hit, yet the sense of sharpness against her made her tremble slightly. The metal surface under Su Xiao’s feet suddenly shattered, one foot sinking, distorting his cleave. Even so, Su Xiao still maintained balance as much as he could, aiming the long knife at Ada from a tricky angle. A few strands of black hair were cut off, and a blade aura separated from the edge, passing by Ada’s neck. Ada clenched her pale fist, punching the back of Su Xiao. Having previously stumbled, Su Xiao was still in the midst of rushing forward, this punch from Ada only accelerated his forward speed. Su Xiao collided into a large dent in the metal wall. Dazed, Su Xiao stood up, shaking his head, feeling a lack of force, but through the initial contact, he already had a method in mind to deal with Ada. Fate Redemption appeared in his hand, Su Xiao bit onto a cigarette, leaning his head to light it. The battle between Fake Europa and Fake Goddess was about to begin.
