The arena viewing platform where Chi Yao and Su Xiao fought.

In a hidden space, the two remaining souls of Ruifei and Ma Wen watched the battle silently.

Ruifei was quite satisfied with Chi Yao's fighting performance.

"Marvin, what do you think?"

Marvin hesitated for a moment when he saw Ruifei's soul had become much weaker, but still opened his mouth to ask.

"You're doing pretty well, but what did you do? You're using up so much energy, aren't you afraid of killing yourself?"

Ruifei smiled and replied.

"It doesn't matter. After Chi Yao passes the test, he will be the legitimate successor. In order to protect this only child, I will sacrifice my life."

Marvin frowned slightly.

"That's not necessary, right? If I'm not mistaken, you've already handed over the World Thunder Seed to that successor, isn't that enough?"

Ruifei's originally playful expression disappeared instantly, and his heavy tone made the whole space serious.

"Chi Yao has already touched the threshold of the boundary thunder at this stage, which is far beyond my expectations. This is a trump card he deserves."

"And I've had some bad feelings lately, but I can't find any clues."

Marvin was somewhat shocked by Ruifei's behavior.

"Really? You have a feeling that even you can't find the source of?"

Ruifei nodded solemnly.

"And Chi Yao's performance in this battle has proven himself. This is an opportunity to test his destiny."

Seeing Ruifei's serious attitude, Marvin was silent for a while.

".In that case, it seems I have to improve the strength of my successor. At least I can't be worse than you, right?"

-

Chi Yao and Su Xiao, who had finished their competition and recovered in paradise, both felt hungry. They hit it off and decided to go to Xia's restaurant together.

"Ding-ling-ling~~"

At the Xiazhiji Restaurant, Xia, who was studying magic theory, heard the doorbell and immediately stood up to greet them.

"Welcome! Hey——"

Xia saw that Chi Yao and Su Xiao came together and had a murderous aura on them. These two were rare big customers of his small shop, so he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Bai Ye, Hui Yao, you two, didn't you just have a fight? Is everything okay?"

Chi Yao waved his hand and showed a sunny and kind smile.

"Oh, it's just a sparring match in the arena. We're all here to eat together, so it must be fine!"

"Xia, hurry up and bring us some delicious food, we are starving."

Hearing Chi Yao say this, Xia's tension eased a lot, and he looked at the silent Lidya Su again.

"So, what do you want to eat?"

Lidya Su also noticed Xia's gaze, so he spoke.

"Just one serving like last time."

"I'm fine with either." Chi Yao added his opinion.

Xia nodded, turned around and went back to the kitchen to work.

Chi Yao and Su Xiao found a table for four and sat opposite each other. They looked into each other's eyes, and for a moment, the atmosphere became quiet.

Crow was fixed on Chi Yao's head, while Bubu Wang was sitting upright next to Su Xiao, and both servants did not dare to interrupt the current "confrontation".

Faced with this awkward atmosphere, Chi Yao coughed lightly to break the deadlock.

"Well, Bai Ye, after experiencing my strength firsthand, are you willing to join us now?"

Lidya Su nodded, sounding a little surprised.

"You are very powerful, so there is no problem with you joining us. And after fighting with you, I began to understand why wizards are so respected in Paradise."

Su Xiao paused, then continued.

"But I have a question. As a mage, your three-dimensional physical attributes are actually higher than those of a melee fighter like me? Did you add points to all four attributes? How did you do it?"

Chi Yao stroked his chin and gave a rough explanation.

"As for attributes, the main source is the reward settlement of the derivative world. The more you explore in the derivative world, the more world sources you obtain, the higher the score, and the more attribute points you get."

"Oh, there is another crucial point, which is that some adventure groups' team skills can add to this part of the benefits."

"That's how the brigade works. Although the single bonus is not high, after accumulating over multiple worlds, the bonus is also considerable."

Chi Yao's words made Lidya Su frown.

"A bonus to the adventure team's skills?"

Chi Yao had expected Su Xiao's hesitation. He was still in the "paranoia (limited to Samsara Paradise)" stage. Although his symptoms had been alleviated by making a friend like him, he was still quite reluctant to join other adventure groups and expose his identity as a hunter.

Chi Yao decided to give Lidya Su some advice.

"If you don't want to join other adventure groups, you can try to establish a solo adventure group."

The novel word aroused Su Xiao's interest. Just from the name, it seemed very suitable for him.

"A solo adventure group?"

Chi Yao nodded and explained, and by the way, he passed the source of the information to the brigade.

"Yes, the so-called single-person adventure group is a balance mechanism prepared by Samsara Paradise for lone contractors. This type of adventure group cannot recruit formal team members from outside, which is fundamentally different from a multi-person adventure group. In other words, this type of adventure group, apart from being able to enjoy the skills of an adventure group, is completely the same as a lone contractor."

"You can set up an adventure group yourself and set it up as a single player. However, if you use this method, you will have to upgrade the adventure group from scratch. The skills of a low-level group are very weak, and progress will be very slow."

"If you want to progress faster, you can acquire someone else's adventure group and convert it into your own. This way you can inherit the level and team skills of that adventure group."

"These were all told to me by a leader of a brigade. In a sense, a brigade can be considered an alternative type of solo adventure group."

"Of course, if you want to join the brigade, I can make an internal recommendation for you."

Su Xiao seemed to be thinking about it, but did not rush to draw a conclusion.

"I see. Thank you for the information. Let me think about it."

"It's okay, take your time to think about it." Chi Yao said in a calm tone, not urging the other party at all.

Su Xiao put his hands in front of him and looked at Chi Yao. The other party's performance so far basically broke his conventional view of mages. The actual combat just now made him doubt the restraint of his Shadow of Destruction profession on mages, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"How did you dodge my shaving before? At this stage, can you actually cast space magic?"

In response to Su Xiao's question with the subtext of "Are you cheating?", Chi Yao scratched his head with an innocent expression.

"Well, actually that's not a space spell, it's just a space skill. Space skills are extremely rare at the first level, but they do exist."

"Well, you know my luck, it's not difficult to get an extremely rare space skill at the first level, right?"

"First-level, extremely, rare, space-related ability" one word after another was absolutely outrageous, making Su Xiao inevitably feel a little overwhelmed.

Click——

The crisp sound of joints came from Su Xiao's clenched fists. Su Xiao controlled his facial expression, put on a "kind smile", and nodded slightly to "approval" of Chi Yao's Versailles behavior, which even made Su Xiao want to immediately initiate another "friendly competition".

But Su Xiao quickly calmed down. From the previous battle, it can be seen that Chi Yao not only has higher attributes than himself, but also has spell acceleration. What's more abnormal is that he has the spatial ability to escape urgently. If he can't touch Chi Yao, it means he has no chance of winning.

Moreover, during the battle, Su Xiao also discovered that his Shen's energy was not as "sharp" as he had imagined, which meant that Chi Yao's spell energy was by no means simple. He was afraid that he would not be able to break Chi Yao's slippery kite tactics in a short period of time.

Su Xiao was able to hit Chi Yao in the end thanks to a last-ditch effort infusing all of the Blue Steel Shadow's energy, but throwing weapons in a regular battle was a pretty stupid choice.

Therefore, Su Xiao decided to change direction and move the battlefield to the area he was good at.

"If I remember correctly, you have also mastered melee combat skills, right? How about a pure melee sparring match with me?"

Chi Yao had a confused look on his face, as if saying, "How dare a Shadow of Destruction like you talk to a mage about having a pure melee fight?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? I want to fight you in close combat now? You have mastered the swordsmanship, right? I don't want to be completely defeated. I will talk to you after I become a master of the scythe."

The truth is that the gap between specialized-level techniques and master-level techniques is very wide. Chi Yao doesn't want to be beaten up by Su Xiao in close combat.

In response to Chi Yao's words, Su Xiao smiled.

"The purpose of sparring is to help each other improve. Since I'm a sword master, can I teach you about close combat techniques?"

Su Xiao's words made Chi Yao slightly stunned, and he complained in his heart: "Su Xiao's speaking skills, is he setting a trap now?"

Chi Yao was frowning and looked at Su Xiao with empty eyes.

"You are definitely trying to take this opportunity to get back at me."

Just as Su Xiao was about to continue "persuading" Chi Yao to accept close combat "guidance", Xia came out from the back kitchen carrying plates of food.

Chi Yao's eyes lit up, and he thought, "Good luck! Is this also the use of luck? Xia Lai's timing is just right!" He quickly picked up the chopsticks and said.

"Hey, hey, hey, Bai Ye, let's eat first, while it's hot, don't waste the delicious food Xia made!"

Being interrupted by Xia, Lidya Su narrowed his eyes slightly, didn't say much, and joined the group eating.

　I'll be back for a while and update tonight.
