Chapter 9: Strength/Intelligence Converter
Effect: Temporarily converts intelligence into strength attribute. After completing the intelligence judgment, every 1 point of intelligence can be converted into 2 points of true strength attribute. When intelligence is converted below 50 points, every 1 point of intelligence can be converted into 3 points of strength attribute.
Warning: Using this equipment carries significant risk. If the conversion is not undone within 2 hours, a permanent conversion of intelligence and strength attributes will occur.

The items in the Arena Shop were bizarre and varied, but Su Xiao estimated that he wouldn't obtain many more Ancient Coins going forward. After all, each match required 70 to 80 hours to queue for, and success wasn't guaranteed every time. The first match had been so fast because his hidden arena rating was 0 points. After that one fight, his hidden rating had likely skyrocketed to over 9,000 to 10,000 points.
Su Xiao had no interest in [Killing Weapon] or [Arena Set], and since he wasn't in a hurry to use the Overlord Essence, he decided to keep his 5,800 Ancient Coins for now. The equipment in this Arena Shop was too peculiar; he'd wait to see what new items appeared later.
Back in the rest room, Su Xiao chose to exit the Tree Arena. As a teleportation sensation washed over him, he returned to his Exclusive Room.
No sooner had he returned to his Exclusive Room than Su Xiao received two emails. These weren't from other Contractors or Hunters, so they would only appear as notifications each time he returned to his Exclusive Room. Opening them to check, the first was from the old immortal of the Feather Race, Maha. The content was intriguing, mentioning an Abyss Passage in the Void's Green Wetlands region that was proving difficult to close.
It was ostensibly an invitation for Su Xiao to attend a banquet in a little over a month, but in reality, it was a probe to gauge just how serious the situation in the Green Wetlands was. After all, every Law Destroyer had a far deeper understanding of the Abyss than anyone else.
The Feather Race clearly didn't know much about Law Destroyers. Su Xiao's understanding of the Abyss was largely based on his own exploration and the Soul Library. As for the Law Destruction Faction, since becoming a Law Destroyer, he was the only living member of that faction.
Su Xiao took out [Dark System Identification (Skill Scroll)]. This could be upgraded. More importantly, if its Lv.50 advancement branch allowed it to evolve into [Introductory Abyss Studies], then with the systematic enhancement available in Reincarnation Paradise, his subsequent understanding of the Abyss would certainly be no less than that of other Law Destroyers. In fact, he might even become a top-tier expert among them.
Entering the Enhancement Room, Su Xiao sat cross-legged inside the Skill Upgrade Pod and crushed the [Dark System Identification (Skill Scroll)] in his hand.
[You have mastered Dark System Identification, Lv.1.]
Su Xiao didn't bother checking the skill attributes of [Dark System Identification]. The skill descriptions for such knowledge-type skills were very simple; the skill effect was just one line: 'Preliminary mastery of knowledge related to dark characteristic substances, items, etc.'
[To upgrade Dark System Identification, Lv.1, requires consuming 200 Soul Coins.]
The upgrade cost wasn't low. Su Xiao tried to upgrade it to Lv.50 and learned the total cost would be 39,000 Soul Coins. He chose to pay.
Upgrading knowledge-type abilities was relatively fast. Plus, Su Xiao frequently upgraded Alchemy, so he was well-accustomed to the feeling of vast amounts of knowledge flooding his mind. Compared to that, whether [Dark System Identification] would offer a good advancement branch at Lv.50 was the real key point.
[Dark System Identification has been upgraded to Lv.50. You may choose one of the following advancements to enhance the specialization characteristics of this ability.]
