Chapter 194: Chapter 4: The Undescribed... Intention

The blue light gradually faded, the effect of the Flame of Luck disappeared, and a pendant appeared in Su Xiao’s hand.

[Mikasa’s Mind] (Exceptional)

Origin: Attack on Titan

Quality: Blue

Category: Pendant (Jewelry type equipment is a rare item)

Durability: None. (Jewelry type equipment has no durability, no need for repair)

Equipment Requirements: 15 Power, 10 Agility, 10 Stamina.

Equipment Effect: Shelter (Active): Quickly generate an invisible shield to resist attacks. The shield’s durability is equivalent to 70% of the wearer’s maximum Life Value, lasting 10 seconds.

Note: Activating Shelter (Active) consumes 10% of Mana Value.

Note: Shelter (Active) has a 24-hour cooldown.

Rating: 70 (Note: Blue equipment ratings range from 31 to 70. A blue equipment rated 70 will be marked ’Exceptional’ and grants additional special attributes.)

Description: The last line of defense in life, it’s much more effective than healing items.

Price: 14,800 Paradise coins.

...

Su Xiao examined the pendant in his hand; it was male-style, beautifully crafted from a rare type of metal.

He immediately understood the value of this item; having it in the Giant world, he wouldn’t have been so embarrassed in the battle against the Other Shore Flower.

Although the shield only lasts 10 seconds, it can block several fatal attacks. If activated at the right time, it can potentially turn the tide of battle.

Su Xiao took off the Widow’s Pendant (White) he was wearing, which had a -1 Power attribute. Compared to the Widow’s Pendant (White) which had a +1 Power attribute, Mikasa’s Mind was far more powerful.

Flicking the ash from his cigarette, Su Xiao was in a good mood, planning not to open treasure chests in the near future, as he felt his luck was already spent.

Checking the remaining items, Su Xiao decided to use the Bronze Honor Medal.

Arriving in front of the Honor Shop, only two items were left available for exchange.

[As Hunter only possesses a Bronze Honor Medal, the following exchanges are available:]

[Soul Crystals (Small)] ×1.

Price: One Bronze Honor Medal.

...

[Honorary Revival Potion]

Effect: Restores 100% Life Value upon use.

Price: One Bronze Honor Medal.

...

Su Xiao had two Bronze Honor Medals in total; he exchanged one for an Honorary Revival Potion for survival purposes, something he had coveted for a long time.

With one Bronze Honor Medal remaining, Su Xiao hesitated for a moment and ultimately decided to exchange it for a Soul Crystal (Small).

He planned to upgrade the Blue Steel Shadow; this ability, when enhanced to a high level, can be deeply developed.

Consuming one Soul Crystal (Small) + 1000 Paradise Coins, Blue Steel Shadow increased by one level.

[’Blue Steel Shadow’ has been upgraded to Lv.4.]

Blue Steel Shadow: LV.4 (Active skill)

Usage Conditions: When activated (Blue Steel Shadow), the Hunter consumes 3 Mana points per minute, and will automatically deactivate when Mana is below 1%.

Skill Effect: When activated (Blue Steel Shadow), each close combat attack will siphon 19 Mana points from the enemy and cause equal True Damage. The enemy will suffer intense pain from Mana burn.

...

The Mana consumption of the upgraded Blue Steel Shadow did not increase; however, its power did, and Su Xiao clearly felt the energy of Blue Steel Shadow in his body becoming more active.

After attending to these matters, Su Xiao began planning his next actions.

First, he needed to go to the Trial Field to adapt to his current body; there’s no need to summon a Mirror Image, summoning a Mechanical Puppet in Actual Combat Mode would suffice.

The Trial Field has two modes, Auxiliary Mode and Actual Combat Mode.

Auxiliary Mode summons various strong Mirror Images, while Actual Combat Mode brings forth overwhelming numbers of Mechanical Puppets.

Deciding to proceed, Su Xiao left and quickly walked towards the Trial Field.

After proficiently operating the facilities, Su Xiao found himself in the middle of a desert.

[Actual Combat Mode consumes 10 Paradise Coins per minute; proceed with payment?]

"Pay."

[Actual Combat Mode activated, Mechanical Puppets will appear in thirty seconds, please prepare in advance.]

The fierce wind stirred the yellow sand, dimming the surroundings, as a silver-white metal head emerged from the sand.

The Mechanical Puppets were coming out!

Dragon Slash appeared in his hand; Su Xiao sharply sensed his surroundings.

A Mechanical Puppet suddenly burst from the sand, and with a swift side cut, Su Xiao instantly severed the metallized Mechanical Puppet, its slice smooth as a mirror.

...

An hour later,

Su Xiao exited the Trial Field, occasionally clenching and unclenching his fists, having adapted to his current body.

He now adapted very quickly to the increase in attribute points, and with over 20 points in all three main attributes, he felt powerful.

Having removed a pendant with +1 Power, his current Power, Agility, and Intelligence were all at 24 points.

Su Xiao glanced at his remaining Paradise Coins, which stood at 4,367 after some spending.

These Paradise Coins couldn’t accomplish much; however, Su Xiao still possessed some equipment that hadn’t been sold, promising a good profit once he decided to sell them.

Recently well-fed and well-rested, Su Xiao didn’t wish to sell equipment immediately. Yet, summoning a Mirror Image lacked sufficient Paradise Coins.

At that moment, Su Xiao recalled Carl’s previous mention of the Arena. He had heard about such a facility in Reincarnation Paradise but never visited.

Its existence implies significance, and there are no useless facilities in Reincarnation Paradise, motivating him to check it out.

Taking out the map of Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao searched for the location of the Arena.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao arrived in front of a towering building, grander even than the Attribute Strengthening Hall, giving no hint of the Arena’s size from outside.

The Arena was bustling with Contractors entering and exiting, with many stalls set up near the entrance.

"Arena Rankings Updated."

"Guide to Quickly Defeating Opponents (Long Range Edition)."

"Comprehensive Guide to Taunting Gestures."

"Theory and Practice of Skill Release."

Seeing these items, Su Xiao felt enlightened, unfamiliar with some of them.

Entering the Arena, the sense of teleportation appeared, causing him to subconsciously cover the back of his head.

This time it was a very short-distance teleportation, without the sensation of being "struck on the head."

[You’ve entered the Arena, please select a mode.]

[Competition Mode / Spectator Mode]

The following annotations appeared.

Spectator Mode: Allows you to watch other Contractors compete, costing 2 Paradise Coins per hour, with the ability to select matches to watch.

Current Matches: 17,354 ongoing.

To watch the top 100 matches in the Arena, a fee of 10 Paradise Coins per hour is required.

To watch the top 10 matches in the Arena, a fee of 50 Paradise Coins per hour is required.

To watch the top 3 matches in the Arena, a fee of 100 Paradise Coins per hour is required.

...

Competition Mode: This mode involves the Hunter personally participating in the competition, with rankings based on prior participation in the Arena and win-loss records.

Competition Mode is divided into [Solo Battle] and [Team Battle].

Solo Battle is 1V1 mode, Team Battle is 10V10 mode, with separate ranking systems for each.

...

Su Xiao found the Arena intriguing; death here, similar to the Trial Field, is not permanent.

Furthermore, no healing items can be used within the Arena, except for recovery-type skills.

He became interested, finding it a good place to refine combat skills.

"Select Competition Mode: Solo Battle."

[Beeping... Checking whether the Hunter has participated in competitions; check complete, the Hunter has never participated in any form of competition.]

[Assigning ranking to the Hunter, current ranking 165,743 in the First Tier (rankings irrelevant to the Hunter’s strength but based on participation and win-loss records).]

[The Hunter is encouraged to actively participate in the Arena; top 10 ranks will grant special rewards.]
