Reincarnation Paradise: Passion Leads to Greatest Success

Chapter 183 Spiritual Combat Skill: Guardian Spirit LV10

[Upgrading Swordsmanship Master to LV30 (Passive) requires 7 Paradise Coins and 1 Large Soul Crystal. Pay/No.]

Fang Yu remained unfazed when he saw the upgrade costs reach a new high; he had expected this.

After enhancing his black blade and purchasing magic-resistant metal, he also possesses:

Soul Crystal (Large) x2

Soul Crystal (Medium) ×13

Soul Crystal (Small) ×45

88500 Paradise Coins.

The remaining resources can certainly be used to upgrade the Sword Mastery by one level, or to upgrade one of the other two Master-level abilities by two levels.

However, a level 1 or 2 upgrade is not as effective as upgrading "Spiritual Combat Skill" and "Guardian Spirit" to level 10 in terms of combat power and benefits.

In this way, the capabilities that the remaining resources need to be used become very clear.

Fang Yu raised his hand and swiped on the screen, where there were more than a dozen passive skills that could be upgraded.

[Upgrade Spiritual Combat Skill: LV1 (Passive) requires 3500 Paradise Coins. Yes/No.]

"Pay!"

Fang spent 31500 Paradise Coins to choose to level up 9 times.

A flash of light and shadow appeared before his eyes, and the light and shadow were teaching him about the power of the soul, willpower, and perception through their actions. The "spiritual combat techniques" they displayed were particularly moving, and many flashes of inspiration appeared in his mind.

Spiritual Combat Skill LV10 (Passive)

Skill effect: Increases skill-based damage by 46% and deals an additional 66 points of mixed damage from Soul Power, Willpower, and Perception to enemies.

(Note: The damage dealt will inflict 15 negative effects on the enemy, including Soul Tear, Low Willpower, and Temporary Sensory Disruption.)

[Upgrading Guardian Spirit: LV1 (Passive) requires 3500 Paradise Coins. Pay now/no.]

"Pay!"

It still cost 31500 Paradise Coins to level up 9 times. This time, there were no light or shadow. Fang Yu felt his vision receding, and the scene inside the cabin around him turned into streams of light. When his vision returned, he found himself in a starry sky.

Three suns floated in the boundless starry sky, and only then could one sense the power contained within them: the power of the soul,

Willpower, perception.

As the three suns approached and merged, arc-shaped corona erupted continuously, and enormous fireballs shot out from the point of fusion. Despite their apparent incompatibility and extreme danger, they ultimately achieved a perfect fusion.

This process repeats itself continuously, and the speed of integration is constantly accelerating.

Fang was completely focused on observing every detail.

Compared to the "Spiritual Combat Techniques" which require constant study, the challenge lies in how to perfectly integrate the three spiritual powers and allow this power to be completely incorporated into the weapon.

-

What the "Guardian Spirit" needs to master is to hone the three powers into an indestructible and incredibly sharp thorn, and then plunge it deep into the enemy's mind to disrupt their thinking.

An hour later, the scene changed, and Fang Yu returned to the skill storage. He checked his LV10 Guardian Spirit.

Guardian Spirit LV10 (Passive)

Skill Effect: After negating or pardoning any control skill effect, it will deal (Soul + Willpower + Perception) × damage to the enemy.

1. Mixed damage (Note: Enemies hit by mixed damage will suffer 15 negative effects, including Soul Tear, Low Willpower, and Temporary Perception Loss.)

With both skills reaching level 10, their effects were significantly enhanced. This improvement made Fang Yu, who was already itching to play, even more eager to try.

After leaving the skill enhancement hall, Fang Yu quickly arrived at the arena.

His so-called "itchy hands" wasn't the kind of restless urge to test his strength after a huge increase, but rather a desire to test how other contractors would exert pressure on him when facing his now nascent system.

This is something that cannot be demonstrated in the combat mode or the support mode of the trial arena; only fellow contractors can truly appreciate it.

You have entered the arena. Please select a mode.

[Competitive Mode/Spectator Mode]

Annotations appear.

Spectator Mode: Allows you to watch other contractors compete. It costs 5 Paradise Coins per hour and you can choose to watch the match.

Current number of games played: 16531.

To watch the top 100 matches in the arena, it costs 10 Paradise Coins per hour.

To watch the top 10 matches in the arena, it costs 50 Paradise Coins per hour.

To watch the top 3 matches in the arena, it costs 100 Paradise Coins per hour.

Fang chose the competitive mode and individual battle, issuing challenges to everyone ranked higher than him at the same time.

[The Hunter's current Arena ranking has been checked and found to be 8th (Tier 1). Matching with opponents ranked in the top 7 will begin.]

After being teleported to the rest pod, Fang Yu waited quietly.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for only about five minutes, he actually became number one in the queue, or rather, the number one person accepted his challenge.

[A match has been found. Teleportation is in progress.]

The scene before him changed, and Fang Yu, knife in hand, arrived at a 50x50 arena, where cheers erupted from all around.

"Go! Go!"

"Holy crap, I know this guy, Black Knife, who fought his way up to eighth place!"

"That powerful?"

"So what? The other person is still ranked first."

The tiered seating area was already packed with spectators, some cheering loudly, others taking photos to show off to their friends. This was a top-ten battle, one that might not even happen once a month.

Only the top ten battles will fill the stands to capacity, making it difficult to get a seat.

Fang Yu calmly glanced at the audience. Coming over to bully the weak didn't excite him at all.

The opponent was a man wearing a cowboy hat and with a full beard. He had a revolver strapped to his waist and looked like a Western cowboy.

The bearded man grinned broadly: "Finally, I've met you, Black Knife."

Do I know you?

Fang Yu tilted his head in confusion. He couldn't find the other person in his memory, and he had never even met him before. So it was very puzzling that this person seemed to have been looking for him for a long time.

"I think—you probably don't know him."

The bearded man shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

"In fact, I'd like to invite you to join the Phantom Troupe, although I know you've already turned down many invitations from other adventurer groups."

"Oh~." Fang Yu revealed a cryptic smile. He had heard of the Phantom Troupe, but mostly about negative things, like how they were all crazy. Now that they knew he had rejected many invitations, yet still insisted, it was possible they were trying to force him.

If that's the case, he'd be happy to play along.
