Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 140 Black Sword·Xin Lailai

Two 10 minutes later.

"Get it done, brother Lai Lai, let's continue."

In an alley, Yamu flicked his arm and threw a dark sword towards Xin Lailai who was standing at the corner.

Xin Lailai grabbed the big sword, looked it over, nodded slightly, and said with a smile:

"Brother Yamu is always reliable, and he got it done so quickly."

"It's just a weapon dyeing. It's nothing. Brother Lai Lai, do you want to consider coming to Paradise Express to develop?"

"I can guarantee that Brother Lai Lai, you are definitely good at playing with pens. You are the one who knows all the routines."

Yamu waved his hand, looked at the lines of identity information floating next to Xin Lailai at the edge of his vision, thought of the other party's proposal, and praised it. .

"No, at most I only have one or two ideas occasionally, and they are definitely no better than Brother Yamu."

Xin Lailai chuckled and shook his head. After a while, he got used to the feel of the blue-quality sword in his hand, which he bought from the virtual store for 1 paradise points and lost more than half of its durability, and then deliberately hung it on the behind himself.

"The preparations are all done. I hope Brother Lai Lai will be merciful later and don't beat me too badly."

Yamu glanced at the outline of the tall building in the distance and joked.

"No, I should ask Brother Yamu to give me more opportunities when the time comes."

Xin Lailai smiled slightly, patted the jet black windbreaker he had purchased temporarily, adjusted his expression so that his brows looked more fierce, and then followed Yamu towards the arena.

Along the way, many women and even low-level male contractors were attracted by the two people walking side by side.

Without him, although the overall appearance level in the paradise is on the upper side because the appearance can be changed, the temperament formed by the charm attributes cannot be changed.

Especially since the two people's current elemental affinity is not low, and the paradise is an environment extremely rich in extraordinary power.

Therefore, if you look at it with your perceptual abilities, you will even find that the two people become more eye-catching against the background of the surrounding elements.

"Wait a minute, that guy next to me seems to be the number one record keeper in the First Order Arena? I've seen him in the newspaper!"

Most of the contractors who took the initiative to come near the arena were those who were more concerned about and interested in the competition, so some low-level contractors soon recognized Yamu, who was the number one in the first level.

"It seems like it's really him! Does any of you know the guy standing next to him?"

"Let me see... Black Sword? No impression. Have any of you heard of this person?"

"Wait a minute, I seem to have an impression of that face. It feels... a bit like the guy who made the headlines on the funny list last month?!"

"Yes, yes, I also remembered that he was the most poorly talented contractor in history, the one who rolled himself down a mountain while practicing swordsmanship!"

"What, are you kidding me? This guy's attributes are full of question marks when I look at them, and you tell me he's a loser!?"

"Damn it, all the first-level basic attributes are above 30, and the charm is 20 points. Did you get the wrong person?"

"Well...it does look a bit different if you take a closer look. I feel he is much more handsome than the guy in the newspaper."

"Wait a minute, they are walking towards the arena, are they planning to play a game?"

"Really or not! The first level leader wants to challenge someone to a duel? Don't fool me, I'm going to call someone over now!"

As Xin Lailai and Yamu walked toward the arena, a large number of low-level contractors who were watching the excitement gathered involuntarily and gathered around the two people five meters away, talking among themselves.

Even some mid-to-high-level contractors subconsciously came over to watch the excitement after hearing the keyword 'first-order number one'.

So, when the two of them stepped into the arena, they were followed by a large black crowd.

Except for the scattered middle and high-level contractors, low-level contractors accounted for about [-]%, and the rest were almost ordinary workers.

——For the arena, the frequency of entering the derivative world is ridiculously low, and the employees who spend most of their time in the park are the main audience.

There is even a paid function called [Temporary Perception Enhancement] in the arena viewing mode, which exists to take care of these employees who mostly have low physical attributes.

After all, with the visual abilities of ordinary people, let alone mid-level and high-level ones, sometimes they may not be able to see clearly when the first-level contractors fight.

……

[You have entered the arena, please select a mode]

[Competitive Mode/Spectator Mode]

[If you choose spectator mode...]

On Xin Lailai's side, when he entered the arena, a weak sense of teleportation appeared, and then a row of options appeared in front of him.

Below the options is a large amount of annotated information to explain the specific conditions of the two modes, such as viewing fees and service functions.

"Select the competitive mode, do not change the appearance, use the current code name, and initiate a personal battle challenge application to Pioneer No. 6539."

Xin Lailai, who had previewed the process a long time ago, went through all the processes skillfully like a regular in the arena. After a few seconds, a new prompt popped up:

[Pioneer No. 6539 has accepted the challenge]

[Preparing, because this is the first level challenge, an announcement has been issued to the audience in the current arena, and they need to wait 10 minutes for the audience to enter]

Obviously, the park is very good at making money. When it comes to high-ranking qualifying matches, they will basically give enough time to let the audience enter.

Of course Xin Lailai would not have any objections to this. It would be better to say that he and Yamu wished that the entire arena audience would come together to watch this battle.

So Xin Lailai sat down cross-legged, entered a deep state of meditation, and waited patiently.

[Audience admission is over, please prepare for entry]

In a state of deep meditation, the 10 minutes ended quickly. Xin Lailai stood up, moved his joints, and pressed the ready option.

The next second, the surrounding white space began to grid up, and an arena with a diameter of 500 meters began to appear before Xin Lailai's eyes.

The seats above the arena were now filled with a large crowd, and the roar of people could be heard lingering in the empty venue.

Opposite Xin Lailai, Yamu held a golden sword in his hand and gestured towards Xin Lailai with a smile.

[Challenger: Lailai Cult·Black Sword (unranked)]

[Challenge: Elemental Cult·Recorder (1st place)]

Two lines of eye-catching characters appeared above the heads of Xin Lailai and Yamu respectively.

At the same time, a line of countdown appears in the center of the field:

[3...2...1, the battle begins! 】

Without any nonsense, when the countdown ended, the two of them rushed out in almost no particular order.

Xin Lailai grasped the big sword behind his back and swung it hard. The cold sword light hit Yamu along with the heavy sword body.

clang--!
Yamu swung his blade horizontally, neutralizing Xin Lailai's strength and kicking Xin Lailai. Golden arcs of electricity attached to his feet, making a harsh noise.

Bang!
A rock shield instantly appeared in front of Xin Lailai, blocking Yamu's attack. Yamu then used the rock shield to step on it, knocking Xin Lailai back one meter.

However, just when Yamu was about to pursue, several rock thorns suddenly rushed out of the ground and stabbed Yamu's vitals.

It's sizzling!

A streak of golden thunder rose from Yamu's blade, and then Yamu's arm speed suddenly increased, passing several afterimages in mid-air, instantly cutting off the incoming rock thorns.

Then Yamu rushed forward and slashed towards Xin Lailai with his knife at an extremely tricky angle.clang!
Sparks flew. Xin Lailai raised his sword and accurately blocked Yamu's slash. Then he stepped forward, exerting force with both hands behind his waist. He forcibly flicked the blade in Yamu's hand away, and then followed the inertia of his body. In one turn, he quickly swung out a second slash.

Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang——!
The sound of dull collisions continued to sound, and Yamu continued to retreat under Xin Lailai's powerful and heavy blows, but at the same time, the thunder arc in his hand became more and more intense.

Finally, when the lightning arc on Yamu's arm was accumulated to an extreme, his movements suddenly accelerated, and he struck hard with the sword and fought evenly with the black sword in Xin Lailai's hand.

hum!
A dazzling thunder light erupted, and Yamu's body was like a leaping arc of electricity. He was instantly out of the range of Xin Lailai's slashing attack. Then he lowered his body, held the long knife in his backhand, and transformed into four figures. He lunged towards Xin Lailai. Lailai rushed.

Seeing this, Xin Lailai thrust the black sword in his hand into the ground. The ground beneath his feet suddenly opened with cracks, and rock walls rose up to protect Xin Lailai's body from all sides.

boom!
Thunder exploded, and the rock wall hit by Yamu's body shattered with a bang. But almost at the same time that the rock wall broke, Xin Lailai suddenly stepped on the ground. In the next moment, a circle of earth-yellow broken rock formed. The shock wave blasted in all directions.

Yamu's figure was forced back by the impact. At the same time, he faced the sky full of broken rocks rushing towards him. He did not dodge or dodge. The blade in his hand turned into an afterimage, and weaved a dense knife network, which was wrapped around the blade. The thunder and lightning suddenly split all the broken rocks rushing towards him into powder.

By the time the impact was over, the field was already in a mess. In less than 60 seconds, the intensity of the collision between the two sides had reached a fever pitch.

"Holy shit, what do I see? A web of swords? Is this the speed of a first-level contractor's sword swing?"

"And that black sword, is that sword fake? Why do I feel like he can wield that thing more easily than I can dance with a vegetable spoon?!"

"Is this a first-order contractor? Are you sure these aren't two humanoid BOSSs who ran away from a derivative world?!"

"No, I feel like I can no longer see their movements clearly. Am I, a second-level contractor, in vain?"

"Brother, be more confident. I can't see clearly even though I've enhanced my dynamic vision, so I'd better just spend the money to get the enhanced perception."

"Are these two guys Masters? Why do they feel completely different from the Masters I know? Do their skills have no cooldown at all?"

In the audience, a group of employees and low-level contractors exploded into laughter.

Even many first-level contractors began to doubt whether they were dreaming, because no matter how they looked at it, they felt that the two people on the field did not look like people of the same level as themselves.

For most contractors, it is not easy to get a C+ or B-level evaluation for each world.

And let alone combining spells with high-frequency melee combat. In the understanding of most low-level contractors, spells should be released only after everyone stands in a row, holding up the staff, aiming at the enemy without moving. right.

——In fact, there will always be a very small number of people in the paradise who can continue to reach the second echelon and above.

In terms of proportion, among the 1 new contractors who enter the park, usually less than 5% can reach the third level and above at the second echelon and above standards.

More than 95% of the remaining contractors either died in the derivative world, or gradually felt inadequate in the tests of the world, and finally gave up their status as contractors and became workers.

On the field, the battle between Xin Lailai and Yamu continued, becoming more and more intense and shocking.

First, Yamu condensed a set of thunder armor, and he launched attacks like the reincarnation of the God of Thunder, forcing Xin Lailai to retreat step by step.

Then Xin Lailai suddenly erupted, condensing a 30-meter-long rock sword. When the sword was struck, it shook the earth and stirred up smoke and dust all over the sky. It was frightening to watch.

In the end, when both sides were covered in blood and only the clothes on their bodies were left with irregular strips of cloth, Xin Lailai finally won the battle with a slight advantage in a passing confrontation.

[Winner: Black Sword]

"Good!" "Wonderful!"

The moment the winner was decided, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience.

"It's great! The 500 spent today is so worth it!"

"This is a battle between real men!"

"No, this scene makes my blood boil. I also want to practice swordsmanship!"

"Don't think about it. With your skinny bamboo pole appearance, you probably won't be able to pick it up."

"Lord Black Sword, I want to give you a monkey!"

Excited cheers and girls' screams came from the audience. Xin Lailai stood on the field, ignored it all, and directly chose to exit the arena.

"Look, it's the Black Sword!"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Black Sword, can we take a photo together...!"

Without any hesitation, Xin Lailai directly took out the two-way transmission device Baihua gave him and activated it. The silver-white barrier rose, pushing the people closest to him away, and then Xin Lailai's figure disappeared directly from the spot. .

……

Exclusive room.

Silvery white light flashed, and Xin Lailai's body instantly appeared in front of the door of his exclusive room. .

"Huh, luckily Boss Baihua gave me this, otherwise I would have spent 1000 park points."

Xin Lailai looked at the two-way space transmission device in his hand. If it hadn't been for this thing, he would have had no choice but to use the authority of the pioneer and spend 1000 park points to directly let the park send him back to his exclusive room.

"The rest depends on how that guy Yamu operates."

Thinking of the 'fierce' battle just now, Xin Lailai couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise in his eyes.

It was indeed beyond Xin Lailai's expectations that a 'fake match' between the two of them, one using only rock magic and sword skills, and the other using only thunder magic and sword skills, could still win such a good response.

According to Xin Lailai's original idea, the reputation of this game should at most be an effect that lives up to its reputation.

But judging from the results, the actual effect was much better than he expected.

"Isn't this normal? You kid, you don't really think that your current strength is within the normal range of this level, do you?"

Kagus's voice sounded from the side. Although he was temporarily unable to follow Xin Lailai due to the Book of the World, Kagus could also see what Sin Lailai was doing by relying on the broadcast from Ling Yuzi who stayed in the exclusive room. matter.

"Using the divisions in your paradise, your true strength now has exceeded the level of the first echelon and has reached the level of outsiders."

"Isn't it about foreign affairs..."

Hearing this, Xin Lailai chuckled and shook his head. His eyes were very calm, and he did not feel overly complimented by Kargus's words.

There is no difference between excessive humility and arrogance.

Xin Lailai knew very well how much he had improved after experiencing the Black Clover world, and the battle he just won was the best proof.

——In the battle just now, all the rock-created magic he used was released using the remaining magic power in his body when he was in the Black Clover World without relying on the magic book.

Xin Lailai even had a feeling that if he continued to master it in depth, after he fully understood the structure and principles of rock elemental magic, even without using magic power, he would still be able to release the rock magic in the form of spells.

After calming down for a while, Xin Lailai looked at the prompt in front of him:

[It is detected that the Pioneer has been promoted to the first place in the arena, and the [Top of Competition (Level 1)] Medal*1 will be awarded. 】

Without any hesitation, Xin Lailai directly chose to equip it on his arm.

The next second, a special emblem formed on his arm.

very good!

Xin Lailai looked at the emblem on his arm, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

From now on, the performers of the Sanctuary Paradise will disappear behind the scenes, and will be replaced by the Black Sword, the contractor of the Lailai Cult.
