Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 658: On the External Appearance
One hour later, exclusive room.

Clang~!

A heavy landing sound came from the empty room. Inside the beam of light, Xin Lailai, wearing a complete set of equipment, landed steadily on the ground while holding Ling Yuzi. The equipment on her body weighed several hundred kilograms in total, plus the alchemy doll weighed more than one ton, which caused the ground to tremble slightly.

[Transmission completed, Pioneer has returned to the exclusive room]

A cold reminder sound rang out, Xin Lailai looked around, and after seeing the familiar and relaxing scene, he let out a long sigh, put his equipment into the storage space, and fell onto the bed with Ling Yuzi, looking exhausted.

"Huh...it's finally done."

"Well, it feels like this is the first time I've trained with you, Lailai, for so long. It's a pity that I still didn't win the third round against the Death Bearer Sister."

Ling Yuzi sat on the edge of the bed, gently rubbing Xin Lailai's temples and shoulders as she rested her head on his thighs with her two small hands, trying to relieve the fatigue accumulated from the battle, and said with some regret.

"We can't help it. The strength of that guy's inheritance after awakening is too abnormal. She already knows some of our core methods. In this case, winning two games is already a very good result~!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai sighed helplessly, looking like she had no idea what to do.

Just like what he said, the abilities of the Death Bearers after professional awakening were too abnormal. To be honest, if they didn't rely on the advantage of dual souls in one body to use many unexpected "strategies (secret) strategies (moves)", it would be normal to lose all five games, let alone win two games in this one-hour competition.

——After all, he has never seen any profession on his side that can not only develop a servant ability that would make the Undead class envious and cry for their father, but also develop a domain skill that can form its own space at the third level!

——That's right, it is a space of its own, although it only has a radius of less than 5m. But when the ability of the Death Master called "Netherworld Realm" was unfolded, it was able to ignore the time delay imposed by their "Sword Barrier", and directly demonstrated what "mechanism shock" was to them who were ready to rely on time stop to decide the outcome.

And, most importantly, an ability as strong as the 'Netherworld Realm'... the other party has a total of nine gates.

Corresponding to the strength attribute, it can grant the target a conceptual level of death, the "Netherworld Death".

Corresponding to the physical attribute, it can allow oneself to enter a ghostly state that is almost invincible, called the 'ghost body'.

Corresponding to the agility attribute, it can form a dead clone, and after awakening, it can also exchange positions with the clone, the "ghost incarnation".

There are also the 'Netherworld Realm', 'Netherworld Brand', 'Netherworld Soul', 'Netherworld Heart' which correspond to intelligence, charm, soul strength and willpower respectively, as well as the initial 'Netherworld Death Energy' and 'Netherworld Blade'. Theoretically, any one of these abilities can be used as the core abilities of those top professions, but when it comes to the other side, there are so many of these abilities that they are as many as their own spells.

It can be said that if their mentality had not undergone a drastic transformation since they came to the wrong world, it would be difficult for them not to be a little withdrawn now. After all, the professional gap between the two sides is indeed too huge.

Although according to the Death Keeper, the prerequisite for unlocking these abilities is to kill a large number of powerful creatures of the abyss and world characteristics to obtain enough "Netherworld Skill Points", but to be honest, the mechanism of having built-in "professional skill points" alone is enough to make them envious to the point of becoming autistic.

After all, the existence of such a thing as 'professional skill points' meant that they had a stable way to enhance their professional abilities, unlike them, where all their abilities were pieced together from here and there, and they had to figure out how to upgrade themselves.

"Tsk, how come after listing the abilities of that guy who holds the Death, it suddenly seems like it's quite remarkable that we were able to win two games?"

"Well... indeed, but when you think about it, Lailai, we are not much better than the sister who holds the death, eh?"

"Well, now that you mention it, it seems to be true..."

Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai touched her chin, imitating what 04296 often did, with a thoughtful expression.

If you think about it carefully, although their abilities cannot be compared with those of the death-bringer and other dead monsters in terms of mechanism, if you analyze it objectively, they seem to be quite beastly too?

Under normal circumstances, it has a strong body + 57.5% damage reduction + 76.3 body defense + 19996 health points + 12708 mana points. The basic values ​​are so high that even among all the third-order outer-level teams, it is second only to Yan Yi.

Not only that, they can also switch freely between the states of 'Elf Fusion' and 'Mixed Doubles'. At a long distance, they are the 'Dual-Core Wizard' who is strong enough to make Dao Ji temporarily avoid the edge. At a close distance, they are the 'Tyrant Body Slashing Master' who is strong enough to blow up the level 40 White Night Projection and chop away the Death Bearer with maxed out professional abilities with one sword. They also have a perception field with cellular level accuracy.

They also have so much soul energy that they can use the 'Sword Force' that other heavy sword masters have saved as their trump cards as mana. The damage of any enhanced basic attack is comparable to the ultimate move of an ordinary third-order top-tier contractor. If you are close, you may even be hit by a 'Soul-Destroying Gaze' that is enough to kill the unlucky guy with insufficient soul resistance in one second. And because of the small size of their luck, their luck attribute is still the highest among the few pioneers in the outer-level echelon, which indirectly makes their equipment and props configuration basically the most luxurious among the pioneers except Yan Yi.

There are also various highly functional 'Crystal Series' spells. It has been proven that this self-created spell that has been recognized by 83203 quickly demonstrated its powerful potential after they reached the Grandmaster realm.

'Crystal Gravity Technique', 'Psychic Acceleration Technique', 'Crystal Blocking Technique·Automatic Type', 'Life Crystal Suturing Technique', 'Crystal Devouring Technique', 'Crystal Space Technique·Chaos'. Although these spells are not the strongest in their corresponding fields in terms of strength, when they appear on a person, this mechanism that combines control, assistance, automatic defense, cell-level treatment, true devouring damage, and space disorder is guaranteed to make many top-tier or even super-top-tier contractors feel a sense of despair at a glance.

Not to mention, the above are just their conventional means, not their real trump card. Their real killer move is actually 'multiple secondary invincible shields' + 'second stage triggered after the oath suit is on the verge of death' + 'annihilation of special attack on small creatures' + 'time slowdown and space replacement provided by the second talent'. Although this state can only last for about 10 minutes, but in these 10 minutes, they are confident that they can suppress any third-order outer-level contractor except Yan Yi.

If such strength is only considered as a goalkeeper in the outer echelon, this is obviously impossible, but before the Earth World, their strength in the outer echelon is indeed only slightly better than that of a goalkeeper, or in other words...

"Have I caught up so much without realizing it?"

Xin Lailai looked up at the ceiling in front of her, subconsciously stretched out her hand, clenched her five fingers, and muttered. Finally, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously, and she laughed, with a hint of heat in her dark pupils.

Getting closer.

Can feel it clearly.

Having returned from the world of Dicuo and experienced a world of progress together with the Dead Man, Yamu and others, they were not left behind in strength.

The best proof is that even though all of its abilities are known and all of the core abilities of its profession have been awakened, the Deathbringer, whose mechanisms are so abnormal that they make people jealous, can maintain a 30% to 70% or even 40% to 60% advantage in battle.

There is no doubt that people like the Death Bearer and Dao Ji are rapidly becoming stronger at an extremely terrifying speed.

but--

They were not left behind!

Although it was extremely strenuous and he even had to squeeze his energy and time to the extreme, he could feel that they were getting stronger at the same... or even faster rate!

Maybe they haven't really caught up yet, maybe they will hit a bottleneck before the other party in a short time, but...

“That’s why it’s even more exciting.”

Xin Lailai looked at the ceiling in front of her that seemed to be within reach, muttered, and finally looked at her palm, laughed, sat up, and after simply tidying up her clothes, she smiled and said to Ling Yuzi beside her:
"Let's go. We have to hurry up and record down the inspiration for perfecting the Devouring Technique and the Blocking Technique while we still have the feeling after the sparring!"

As he spoke, Xin Lailai waved his arm, put on his white lab coat with the sound of his robe fluttering, and strode towards the laboratory with expectation and confidence in his eyes.

That’s right, precisely because there are peers like the Death Bearer and Dao Ji, the end of this road is even more worthy of their anticipation and efforts.

After all, if it was true that Rudong's daughter could become the strongest in the same level without any rival of the same generation, then this so-called path to becoming the strongest would be a bit too boring.

……

Sanctuary paradise, golden avenue.

[Tip: Paid park points*20000000]

"It's really rare for a guy like you to come here and customize something like the Calming Rune. With your strength, you shouldn't need this kind of thing at all, right?"

In a strange shop that looks full of dreams, a purple-haired woman with a big hat and two brain holes on one side of her head, one of which has an iris planted on it, lies lazily on a rocking chair, shaking a pipe with her slender fingers. She glances at the blond young man next to her and speaks with a lazy voice while yawning.

"I can't help it. My intuition tells me that someone I know has probably already come up with something similar. And that guy is a beastly roll king. As a teammate, I can only try my best. Alas!"

The blond young man glanced at the soul crystal sealed with runes in his hand, sighed helplessly, and rubbed his eyebrows gently.

"Oh~? I didn't expect to hear the word "hard work" from you. I'm suddenly curious about who you are talking about?" "Black Sword, no need to guess, it's the one you saw in the newspaper. Tsk, ever since I found this guy, I feel like I have less and less time to rest."

The blond young man complained and sighed. He put away the rune crystal in his hand, rubbed his blond hair in annoyance, and sighed:

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Also, don't forget what happened last time."

"Yes, yes! My big boss, you better hurry up and work hard, haha!"

"Work hard. The financial report shows that you have been operating at a loss for three months. If there is no improvement next month, expect your vacation money to be deducted."

"Uh... Boss, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that to you... Wait, Boss, don't go!"

……

Sanctuary Paradise, Three Thousand Gods Religion.

"cut!!!"

A low roar filled with sharpness exploded from a grassland that looked unusually broad. A young man in a white robe and sword-like brows with a stern gaze was seen holding a silver-white longsword. He shouted fiercely, and his figure instantly turned into a stream of light. He slashed down with the sword amid the sound of clanging that echoed throughout the plain.

Zheng——! !

A sharp clanging sound exploded, and an extremely sharp sword light burst out, cutting an extremely obvious crack in the space wherever it passed, and finally...

Clang~!

A hand stretched out from the long sleeves. On the plain, a man in a white robe with an extraordinary temperament like a banished immortal stretched out his hand, and with two fingers, he clamped the sword of the sword-like young man who was slashing towards him. He easily blocked the attack, but the ground beneath his feet cracked with a bang under the sword intent, forming a huge crack that was thousands of meters long and dozens of meters wide, demonstrating the power of this sword.

"Well, not bad. Although it is not restrained enough, this sword has already begun to have some of the charm of heaven and earth."

The man in white looked at the sword-like browed young man in front of him, who looked as if he was in a trance and had lost himself in everything. He nodded slightly and spoke with an extremely satisfied look in his eyes.

Although he was troubled by his disciple's extreme temper, when it came to the art of swordplay alone, the other party had indeed achieved a level that even the leader of the Three Thousand Divine Sects, who had attained Taiyi through the art of talismans and swords, could not find fault with him.

You have to know that he was almost at the fifth level before he barely comprehended the charm of the sword, while the other party had already achieved this at the third level. This kind of talent is absolutely rare even in the history of the entire star realm. Even in the sword history books within their Three Thousand Gods Sect, it seems that only the sword masters who appeared in ancient times and prehistoric times, and the 'Haoyue of the Golden Age' of this era have achieved this.

"Huh... Thank you for your guidance, Master. I have just grasped the rhythm of perfecting this sword. Please allow me to comprehend it on my own first."

After the sword-blocked young man with sword-like eyebrows heard the voice of the man in white, his expression that showed no emotion quickly changed. The rhythm on his body that seemed to blend into the whole world quickly dissipated, and the look in his pupils became lively again. Finally, under the gaze of the man in white, he retracted his sword, took a long breath, and bowed to the man in white.

"Well, go ahead, but don't be too stubborn. You are only at the Golden Core stage now, so there is no need to pursue extremes. When you enter the Nascent Soul stage, severing a piece of heaven and earth will be a piece of cake."

"Thank you, Master."

The man in white nodded slightly when he heard this. He did not reject the other party's request, but he still did not forget to give the other party an extra reminder. When the young man with sword-like eyebrows heard the other party's permission, his eyes lit up, and he sat down cross-legged without hesitation, emptying his mind and carefully feeling the rhythm left by the sword just now.

"I don't know if this kid took the second half of my words to heart..."

"Brother, Junior Brother Daoji, the food is almost ready, we can prepare to eat."

The man in white looked at the reaction of the sword-browed young man with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. At this moment, a mature voice sounded, and then Yan Yi, who was wearing a chef's robe and had a completely different temperament from the otherworldly man in white, walked out of the teleportation beam with a spatula in his hand. After looking at the scene on the field, he set his gaze on Dao Ji who was sitting cross-legged in the air, and his eyes moved slightly.

"Brother, Dao Ji he...?"

"Just like what you saw, this kid has a freakishly high level of understanding. I just gave him some pointers and he was able to comprehend something new."

The man in white looked at Yan Yi who came over to remind them to eat, pointed at the huge crack behind him that was caused by the sword just now, and said helplessly.

Although he had LV.MAX swordsmanship talent and had experienced a small enlightenment every three days and a big enlightenment every five days when he was at a low level, it was really impossible for the young man with sword-brows to have an enlightenment every now and then even though he was almost a LV.40 swordsmanship grandmaster.

"I say, Junior Brother, please help me persuade this kid. Look at him now. He uses sword intent to attack, defend, move, and even eat. He is almost falling into the hole of swordsmanship."

"It's the same now. When I came back this time, I wanted to see if this kid would improve after his setbacks. At least he wouldn't rely on sword power to solve all problems all day. But the first thing he asked me was how to cut the whole world apart with one sword."

The man in white looked at the sword-browed young man who had entered a state of ecstasy, rubbed his brows gently, and confided to Yan Yi who was standing beside him.

"Well, I understand what you are worried about, but since Junior Brother Daoji has come this far, it means that the path he insists on does make sense. Senior Brother, there is no need to force too much, right?"

"... Junior Brother, tell me honestly, have you already disciplined him?"

"Uh...well, I've been trained."

"It's no use?"

"It was useless. He continued to use the sword intent as chopsticks, and quickly mastered the method of completely restraining the sword intent."

"..."

As Yan Yi finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on the young man with sword-like eyebrows who looked completely unaffected, and a look of helplessness appeared on their faces at the same time.

"I originally thought that he would learn how to restrain his edge after reaching the third level at most."

Finally, the man in white looked at the other person's fierce face, sighed, and a distant look appeared in his pupils, as if he had seen a scene from the past.

Yes, at that time, he really thought that the other party's edge would be restrained at most at the third level. After all, in his expectation, with the other party's talent, at most at this level, he would reach a level that no one of his peers could reach, making him feel the loneliness of being at the top, but now...

"This generation has produced many remarkable young people."

The man in white sighed, his pupils flickering slightly, as if he was recalling a scene he witnessed on the road when he returned this time, and a deep look appeared in his eyes.

"Oh, whatever..."

Finally, he just smiled softly, looked up at the endless sky in the distance, and smiled.

"For Dao Ji, this kind of peer is what he wants to see, right?"

After saying that, the man in white waved his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the teleportation beam, while not forgetting to say to Yan Yi:

"Let's go, Junior Brother, you and I are going to eat first."

"Not waiting for nephew Daoji?"

"Let this kid get away with it. He has to work all day long. He deserves to eat leftovers."
