Chapter 105: Legendary Rank
The enhancement pod gradually stopped operating, and Su Xiao's eyes opened as he exhaled a stream of hot white breath.
At this moment, he was bare-chested, his body covered in sweat. Although he didn't have exaggerated muscle lines, his physique contained terrifyingly immense power.
Su Xiao moved his body, the drastic enhancement in a short period making him somewhat unaccustomed to his current strength.
He tried clenching his fist, and a crisp cracking sound came from his knuckles. Su Xiao had a feeling that he could punch through the high-grade enhancement pod with one blow.
This was merely an illusion caused by the sudden increase in strength. Besides, if he actually damaged this thing, Su Xiao definitely couldn't afford to pay for it.
Su Xiao stood up and walked out of the enhancement pod. His steps were slow. Although his True Agility attribute had only increased by 2 points, this was equivalent to the enhancement effect of 10 ordinary attribute points.
Su Xiao had experienced this situation many times before. It wouldn't take long for him to adapt to his current physical condition. Only newcomers needed to go to the training ground to adjust after enhancing their attributes.
After strolling around the Trade Square a few times, Su Xiao gradually adapted to his current physical state. He no longer encountered situations like chewing through chopsticks while eating or collapsing his bed while sleeping—things he had experienced before.
When Su Xiao returned to his Exclusive Room, he found Bubu Wang and Amu studying something. Approaching them, he discovered they were examining a Mangekyo Sharingan.
Seeing this Sharingan, Su Xiao understood what was going on. This was the reward from the first part of the hidden quest. As for how it ended up in Bubu Wang's hands, it was likely that Bubu Wang had grabbed it while fetching the Rinnegan earlier.
This Mangekyo Sharingan belonged to Obito. As for the other Rinnegan, there was no need to guess—it had definitely been taken by Madara. This was also something Su Xiao and Madara had planned in advance.
Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan possessed spatial abilities, but this item wasn't popular in Reincarnation Paradise. The reason was simple: to evolve it into a complete Sharingan required severe side effects. Moreover, without the Uchiha clan's bloodline, this thing consumed a massive amount of chakra.
There were quite a few contractors with chakra, and obtaining the Uchiha bloodline wasn't impossible. However, those capable of acquiring these resources looked down on a half-finished Sharingan.
First of all, the Sharingan consumed both mental energy and a large amount of chakra. The chakra requirement alone ruled out Su Xiao.
Don't be fooled by how many people in the Naruto World transplanted Sharingan—that was because they were born with chakra.
Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and Rinnegan were terrifyingly expensive in Reincarnation Paradise. As for the Mangekyo Sharingan, basically no one would spend a large sum to buy it, because it wasn't entirely a bloodline but rather a consumable item.
While using the Mangekyo Sharingan, the eye would gradually lose its light. If used frequently in battle, it would become useless after 3 to 4 derivative worlds.
Of course, compared to the Mangekyo Sharingan's powerful effects, this could be tolerated. What was truly unbearable was its biggest side effect: emotional influence.
The Sharingan was a mirror of the heart, and the emotion it reflected was hatred. The greater the emotional fluctuation of hatred, the faster it evolved and the stronger the power it unleashed.
This emotional change was permanent. Simply removing the Sharingan wouldn't undo it. The only way to eliminate this emotional fluctuation was to evolve the Sharingan to its perfect form.
Given the Sharingan's ridiculous evolution process, evolving Obito's Mangekyo into its complete form was basically impossible. That guy didn't have a biological brother. As for his father—were they supposed to go grave robbing?
Who knew if his father had even awakened the Sharingan, let alone to the Mangekyo level. Besides, whether Obito's father's Sharingan was compatible with him was anyone's guess.
For these reasons, Su Xiao was only interested in Hashirama Cells. As for the Mangekyo Sharingan, he had zero interest.
Leaving aside whether he could even use it after transplantation, what about the hatred emotion? Who was he supposed to hate? Stan? Don't be ridiculous. They were enemies, each looking for a chance to kill the other. As for hatred, that was actually quite difficult. Su Xiao didn't really hate Stan, and Stan probably didn't hate Su Xiao either. They had different stances and were just at each other's throats. It wasn't like children shouting "I hate you!"—that would be too awkward.
If Su Xiao and Stan met, their conversation would probably go like this:
Stan: "Long time no see. Didn't expect you were still alive."
Su Xiao: "Heh. You've been quite the celebrity lately."
Stan: "You motherf*cker..."
...
Su Xiao admired Obito's spatial ability, but ruining his own combat style just to use this thing would be putting the cart before the horse.
Thinking this, Su Xiao tossed the Mangekyo Sharingan in his hand to Bubu Wang for it to study. Bubu Wang seemed quite interested in this Sharingan. Perhaps Bubu Wang's high-level creature ability could gain some benefit from it, but the chances were slim. Who was this guy supposed to hate? The unchewable strange beast bone from last night?
Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, and one by one, treasure chests appeared in his hands. He placed them all on the bed.
There were four chests in total: one Dark Purple, two Light Gold, and one Legendary.
The Dark Purple chest was dropped by Ohnoki. He had been surrounded by a large number of White Zetsu, and Su Xiao had finished him off. Getting a Dark Purple chest was already lucky.
As for the two Light Gold chests, they were also obtained by finishing blows, dropped by Onoki and Gaara respectively. The old hag acting as the Mizukage's proxy didn't drop any chest at all.
Su Xiao stared at the three chests. He was somewhat reluctant to open them. The reason was simple: these three chests were all duds. The chance of getting good items from them was extremely slim, as could be seen from Mei Terumi's chest.
Su Xiao had opened this kind of chest "contaminated" by powerful plot characters before. Without exception, they were all duds, with over 80% chance of yielding only a pile of Paradise Coins.
"Woof."
Bubu Wang seemed to understand Su Xiao's hesitation.
"You mean... sell them?"
Su Xiao understood Bubu Wang's meaning. A Dark Purple and two Light Gold chests placed together were very tempting. Anyone unaware of the situation would definitely be willing to pay a high price. Many contractors liked to gamble on luck, just like most desperados enjoyed gambling.
Undoubtedly, Bubu Wang's idea was a bit shady.
"Good idea."
Su Xiao decisively put away the three chests. He had thought of this earlier. Why open chests? Simply to obtain resources to become stronger.
As for chests not "contaminated" by plot characters, Su Xiao would never sell them. Each such chest was an opportunity.
Su Xiao lit a cigarette. With the Lucky King status active, he decisively opened the Legendary chest dropped by Hashirama Senju.
