Chapter 56: The Opponents

[The Hunter has returned to the Strongest Warrior Battle rest area.]
[The Hunter has passed the third round of the Strongest Warrior Battle.]
[Number of participants on this side in this round: 1 person (Reincarnation Paradise).]
[Number of promotions on this side in this round: 1 person.]
[Storage space seal has been lifted.]
……

The seal on the storage space was finally lifted. Su Xiao untied the backpack from Bubu Wang’s back and placed the items inside into his storage space.

When the storage space wasn’t sealed, he didn’t feel much difference, but after the seal, Su Xiao found it very inconvenient. Originally feasible plans had to be abandoned because items or materials were sealed inside the storage space.

Buzz~

A butler robot drove over, and on the extended tray was a cup of clear tea.

“Please have some tea.”

The butler robot suddenly spoke, its voice extremely loud, and it was a child’s voice.

“Mute.”

Su Xiao leaned back on the sofa. He planned to take a shower first, then rest.

“Please have some tea.”

The butler robot spoke again, causing Su Xiao to shift his gaze to the round butler robot. For an intelligent robot, disobeying an order was almost impossible.

Su Xiao placed his hand on the butler robot’s head. After biometric recognition, Su Xiao manipulated the butler robot to fully extend.

Click, click…

After the butler robot extended, its internal precision structure was revealed. The most conspicuous were seven “Titanium Batteries.” This was one of the core technologies of the Bana Dwarf Clan—small in size, low pollution, stable internal structure, and with minor modifications, could provide energy for mechs or large industrial equipment.

At this moment, next to the seven Titanium Batteries, a transparent test tube was embedded in a slot. There were metal wires on the outer wall of the test tube, and the solution inside was a brilliant blue, with faint arcs of electricity flickering.

This was “Negative Ion Plasma Liquid.” A long time ago, the Bana Dwarf Clan had gifted Bubu Wang 48 [Negative Ion Plasma Superconducting Devices], which were great tools for trapping enemies.

In the Naruto World, Bubu Wang used the [Negative Ion Plasma Superconducting Device] to trap Yamamoto Genryusai, rendering him completely helpless. If not for the lack of Negative Ion Plasma Liquid, Yamamoto Genryusai would have had no chance of escaping.

Back then, after Yamamoto Genryusai escaped, he immediately tried to destroy the [Negative Ion Plasma Superconducting Device], but unfortunately, this thing was designed to counter void creatures. Even with his powerful Ryujin Jakka, he couldn’t destroy those metal pillars.

The [Negative Ion Plasma Superconducting Device] required plasma liquid to operate, and now, the Bana Dwarf Clan had sent a tube of plasma liquid through this butler robot.

[Tip: You have obtained ‘Negative Ion Plasma Liquid.’ This item was obtained through trade/gift channels and has been notarized.]
[Tip: The Bana Dwarf Clan is a sponsor of this Strongest Warrior Battle. This transaction did not trigger the penalty mechanism.]
[Due to the restrictions of the Void Tree, the Negative Ion Plasma Liquid is currently sealed. After this Strongest Warrior Battle ends, the Negative Ion Plasma Liquid will be unsealed.]

The plasma liquid had indeed been delivered, but it couldn’t be used during this Strongest Warrior Battle. Otherwise, it would be deemed a violation. The Bana Dwarf Clan had considered this thoroughly.

So far, the Bana Dwarf Clan had been a very good ally, especially since Bubu Wang’s generosity was also considerable.

Su Xiao stored the plasma liquid in the team storage space and headed straight for the bathroom. After a hot shower, he ate some food cooked by the butler robot.

Lying on the bed, Su Xiao fell into a deep sleep. During the few days in Viking Sea, he had barely rested.

This sleep lasted a full twelve hours. It had been a while since he had slept so comfortably. With nothing to do, Su Xiao started working on a puzzle game.

A few hours later, Su Xiao pushed open the door of Rest Room 1005 and stepped out. Outside was a corridor over ten meters wide, lined with pneumatic doors on both sides—these were the rest rooms of other participants.

At this moment, the corridor was empty. The participants were still in Viking Sea. Returning too early wasn’t necessarily a good thing; there wasn’t even a ghost in sight, and he had to wait for the others.

“First!”

A roar came from a distance. Su Xiao looked toward the source. It was a tall, sturdy man with several black feathers stuck in his body. The most eye-catching thing was the folding mining tool at his waist.

Carrying something like that, there was no doubt he was a contractor from Apocalypse Paradise. With such a massive contractor base, there were bound to be strong ones, like this burly man.

Su Xiao had seen this man once before. He had been selling ores in this corridor, and there was a little girl with him. Now, the little girl was nowhere to be seen, likely dead in Viking Sea.

“Cunning Red Beard, I should have chopped off your head long ago.”

The burly man wiped the blood off his face. Just as he was about to stand up, he noticed Su Xiao not far away.

“Hmm! Reincarnation Paradise.”

“…”

“Troublesome. There’s someone faster than me.”

The burly man stood up and walked toward Rest Room 1027. Although he looked like a miner, his strength was not to be underestimated, as he was the second to arrive at Terror Island.

Just a few minutes after the burly man returned, two more people arrived. They were a man and a woman, both wearing black feathered robes. They were two members of the Feather Race.

Su Xiao recognized the female Feather Race member—it was Shuang Yue. As for the male Feather Race member, he was likely a close relative of Shuang Yue, as their features were somewhat similar.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

The male Feather Race member covered his mouth with a dry cough, blood seeping through his fingers. Seeing this, Shuang Yue took out a green gem.

“No need for now. Supplies can’t be replenished before the battle ends. Keep it for yourself.”

“But…”

“No buts. Your big brother won’t die. I’m at least 16.752 times stronger than you. That brainless fool Monde, I’ll kill him sooner or later.”

The male Feather Race member shook the blood off his hand. He was Shuang Yue’s elder brother and one of the top five favorites to win this Strongest Warrior Battle.

Shuang Yue helped her brother into a rest room. Not long after, a figure crashed into the corridor.

“Hugh! Come on, let’s continue…”

Monde, his body burning with black flames, roared. The next moment, the black flames quickly extinguished.

“Hey~ Why are you so fixated on me? What grudge do you have?”

Hugh stood not far from Monde, his left arm hanging limply, his expression still lazy.

“You ambushed me.”

Monde’s eyes widened. With his short white hair and sawed-off horns, whenever he glared, he looked like a simple-minded brute.

“That was an accident. I’m tired. Going back to sleep.”

Hugh was still as laid-back as ever. Soon after, two more participants returned to the rest area. One was a woman wearing a witch’s hat, exuding a seductive aura. Judging by her attire, she was from the Night Temptation Witch Guild, a representative of a Transcendent Primordial World.

As for the other participant, he was a member of the Devil Race. He wore a neat suit, his head was a skull inlaid with rice-sized black gems, and deep flames flickered in the skull’s eye sockets.

The Night Temptation Witch and the Devil Race member stared at each other for a moment before she snorted and walked away.

“Madam, would you like to continue trading with me, a merchant? The previous transaction was quite enjoyable, wouldn’t you agree?”

The Devil Race member slightly bowed, his skull head clearly smiling.

“Never again, and it wasn’t enjoyable at all. One day, I’ll use your bones to make soup.”

The Night Temptation Witch walked away with her back to the Devil Race member. In the first round, she had made just one wrong statement, which led to her being a workhorse for two rounds. Fortunately, she was in the top tier of strength, or she wouldn’t have lasted.

Participants returned one after another. Su Xiao, who had been sitting on a bench, stood up. He had seen several troublesome opponents. As for whether there were other strong enemies, there likely were.

Su Xiao returned to Rest Room 1005. Just as he closed the door, Bubu Wang rushed over quickly. Bubu had returned to normal and was now looking up at Su Xiao, his eyes clearly saying, “Master, look! My Charm attribute is even higher now!”
