Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

[Hint: Sword Master has been upgraded to Lv.27. ]

[Sword Master: Lv.27 (Passive Skill)]

Skill effect: Increases sword attack power by 464%, nerve reflex speed by +120%, and greatly improves sword skills and reaction ability.

This is the case with technical abilities like the Sword Master, which has a step up every ten levels. Now Lin Yi is still in the accumulation stage.

The next step is to upgrade to melee combat master. After upgrading to swordsmanship master, Lin Yi still has 3 soul crystals (complete) in his hand. There is not much point in keeping them, so it is better to use them all to improve skills.

[Yes/No: Raise the melee master to Lv.10. To raise this ability, you need Soul Crystal (complete) x 1 + 90000 Paradise Coins.]

As the last three crystals were consumed, Lin Yi's consciousness suddenly sank into the deep sea illusion.

In this underwater world with undercurrents, he witnessed a group of fish-man-like creatures fighting fiercely.

These fishmen are agile, with their scaly bodies glowing coldly in the dim light. Their sharp claws and fangs tear through flesh with every pounce. Their fighting style is primitive and brutal, revealing the unique cruel nature of deep-sea predators.

Lin Yi's consciousness merged into it, turning into one of the fishmen, and personally experiencing their innate fighting instincts - the instantaneous burst of muscles, the flexible twisting of joints, and the boiling desire for killing in the blood.

Unlike the precision and elegance of swordsmanship, this kind of close combat relies more on pure physical fitness and combat intuition. Every dodge and counterattack is like an instinctive reaction imprinted in the blood.

Every time a fishman fell, Lin Yi's consciousness quickly shifted to the next survivor.

He gradually discovered that the fighting between these fishmen was not without rules. They had a unique fighting system and their movements were ruthless and efficient.

One murloc arched his back, his claws as sharp as knives, drawing a deadly arc in the undercurrent; the other murloc twisted his body, his tail fin like a whip, accurately crushing the enemy's throat.

Lin Yi was immersed in it, his memories continued to accumulate, as if he had experienced thousands of life-and-death battles.

[Tip: Melee Grandmaster has been upgraded to Lv.13. ]

[Melee Combat Grandmaster: Lv.13 (Passive Skill)]

Skill Effect: Increases melee attack power by 339%, nerve reflex speed by +54%, dynamic vision by +54%, and greatly improves melee combat skills and reaction ability.

Lv.10 Ultimate Ability: Crush (Passive): All melee attacks will be accompanied by special force, which can cause penetrating damage that ignores the opponent's defense.

……

After Lin Yi woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Samsara Paradise had blurred his memory of the deep-sea fight, the bloody and violent fighting instincts still left some traces deep in his consciousness.

However, this effect is only temporary, and with his soul strength he will be able to digest it completely soon.

Then Lin Yi spent 10 soul crystals (large) to upgrade the [Master of Basic Healing Skills] by one level, bringing it to level 46. It was only a few steps away from transforming into a master-level skill at level 50.

After clearing out the soul crystals in his hand, Lin Yi's eyes fell on the [Purification] skill again.

This skill has already devoured the golden skill points of his two world progress, but it has yet to bring about a qualitative change.

I can only say that the potential of the skill [Purification] is indeed great, and I don’t know where the inheritance of the Abyss Physician comes from? This initial purification authority is ridiculously high, and it is definitely not comparable to ordinary skills.

After investing all 4 gold skill points obtained from this world, the skill panel of the skill [Purification] finally underwent a transformation.

……

【Purification: LV.EX.】

Skill Effect: This skill can remove abnormal physical conditions. (Authorization Level???)
……

There was no significant change on the skill panel, but Lin Yi could clearly sense that the authority level of [Purification] had been raised again, even faintly touching some indescribable rule boundaries.

After completing the skill enhancement, Lin Yi set off for the land of all living beings.

This time, Lin Yi specially prepared tens of millions of Paradise Coins in order to push his own skills to perfection.

[Hunter has entered the trial field, please select a mode. 】

[Hunter has entered the trial field, please select a mode. 】

[If you need to enter the first floor of the Land of Living Beings, you need to consume 50000 Paradise Coins per hour. There are seven floors in the Land of Living Beings. 】

[Level 50000 of the Land of All Living Beings: Paradise Coins are consumed every hour. 】

[The second floor of the Land of All Living Things: 100000 Paradise Coins are consumed every hour. ]

[The third floor of the Land of All Living Things: 300000 Paradise Coins are consumed every hour. ]

[The fourth to seventh floors of the Land of All Living Things: No access permission. 】

……

Lin Yi was not in a hurry to go to the third level of the Land of All Living Things, but entered the first level of the Land of All Living Things, preparing to integrate the techniques and abilities in his hands first.

After more than two hours of trying, Lin Yi has rearranged the technical abilities he developed according to the feedback from the Land of All Living Things.

After countless battles, Lin Yi gradually selected his most core moves.

Although some of the moves that were once attempted to be developed seemed to have unlimited potential in the early stages, they revealed many shortcomings in actual combat tests - either limited power, excessive consumption, or low applicability.

As his combat experience accumulated, Lin Yi decisively abandoned those flashy techniques and focused on improving the moves that could really play a key role in life-and-death duels.

From the first level to the fifth level, Lin Yi has developed a small number of techniques. These abilities may seem simple, but they are all core killer moves that best suit his fighting style.

After confirming his own condition, Lin Yi stepped into the third level of the Land of All Living Beings.

This time, his goal was very clear - to optimize the ultimate skill, Abyss Shadow: End Blade.

When fighting against the Eye of the Void, the destructive power of this move was fully demonstrated. Whether in terms of killing range or destructive intensity, it can be regarded as Lin Yi's strongest killing move at present.

But this skill still has a fatal flaw - lack of stability.

As Lin Yi stepped into the third level of the Land of All Living Things, the space around him suddenly twisted and turned into a chaotic battlefield of nothingness.

Under his feet was a mirror as dark as ink, smooth to the point of being eerie. What was reflected in the mirror was not his own figure, but countless phantoms holding swords.

Each phantom maintained a different starting posture, either slashing, stabbing, or defending, as if tens of millions of "Lin Yi" had left traces of battle here.

"let's start."

He took a deep breath and slowly raised the sword in his hand. The power of the abyss wrapped around the sword like a living thing. Black energy flowed on the edge of the blade, emitting heart-pounding fluctuations.

——Abyssal Shadow·Blade of the End.

"boom--!"

The moment the sword fell, the space was torn like a fragile cloth, leaving a black crack that spanned a hundred meters.

Wherever the crack passes, all matter and energy are ruthlessly annihilated and turned into nothingness.

Just when the power of this attack was about to reach its peak, something strange happened!

Lin Yi's arm trembled violently, and the violent power of the abyss rushed up like a wild horse.

His right arm was torn apart in an instant, and his flesh, blood and bones turned to ashes under the backlash of the power of the abyss.

But at this moment, hundreds of figures appeared behind Lin Yi. Each of them, like him, held a long sword and slashed out the Abyss Shadow·The Blade of the End.

Some figures have sharp swords that can break the sky with one blow; some figures have long swords that are as deep as the sea; and some figures have treacherous sword moves that are unpredictable...

Hundreds of different "Blade of the End" are presented at the same time!
At the moment when these figures disappeared, Lin Yi's mind was suddenly flooded with the experience of releasing the Abyssal Shadow·The Blade of the End hundreds of times - success, failure, optimization, transformation...

Lin Yi frowned and used advanced healing techniques to heal his broken arm. After the new arm grew out, Lin Yi moved his arm before bending down to pick up the black and white rose that had fallen to the ground.

The power of Abyss Shadow: Endblade is unquestionable, but the problem always lies in - control.

The essence of the Blade of the End is to compress the activated power of the abyss in the body to the limit, and then release it in the form of a slash.

But the power of the abyss is one of the most violent energies. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself before hurting the enemy.

The backlash just now was the best proof - if it weren't for the special rules of the Land of All Living Beings, it would probably not be as simple as just breaking an arm.

Lin Yi closed his eyes and began to sort out the fragments of experience left by the hundreds of phantoms in his mind.

Each phantom's slashing method, the trajectory of its energy flow, and even the moment of collapse when it failed, all flashed back in his mind like a kaleidoscope.

Gradually, he realized a key point that he had overlooked - compressing all the power of the abyss could certainly bring about high burst, but the price was extreme instability.

The real solution may be the opposite.

Lin Yi raised his sword again, with the tip of the sword pointing at a solitary peak in the distance.

But this time, the power of the abyss wrapped around the blade did not boil wildly, but was only activated in a small part near the edge of the sword.

The rest of the energy remains in a stable inert state, like a sleeping beast, lying in wait.

The sword blade cut through the air lightly.

There was no deafening explosion, no horrifying vision tearing the void, only an extremely thin black line extending silently, as if someone had used a pen dipped in ink to lightly draw a stroke between heaven and earth.

The solitary peak a thousand meters away trembled slightly.

The next moment, the upper part of the mountain slowly slid down along a mirror-smooth surface and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

The cross section was as black as ink, and even the finest rock texture was completely obliterated.

The next second, the power of the abyss on the blade suddenly began to riot, and those activated powers of the abyss began to flow upstream along the hilt frantically, but were forcibly suppressed by Lin Yi who was well prepared.

"Sure enough, perfecting a move isn't that simple."

Lin Yi was not surprised. After all, developing technical abilities is a long process in itself.

Although the sword strike just now was close to perfect, there was still a slight delay at the node of energy conversion.

Just like carefully prepared gunpowder, the greater the power, the more stringent the requirements on the ratio and craftsmanship.

Five hours later, the ground around Lin Yi was stained red with blood.

Lin Yi's body was covered in blood at this moment. The backlash of Abyss Shadow·Blade of the End was more brutal than expected.

It's like taming a ferocious beast. If you're not careful, the runaway power of the abyss will instantly twist the sword holder's arm into a bloody mist.

In just fifteen hours, Lin Yi had regenerated his arms more than a dozen times.

However, as a price, Lin Yi's mastery of Abyss Shadow·Blade of the End has skyrocketed. After about ten hours, even if Lin Yi suffered backlash, it was not as serious as before.

【Reminder: You have new mail. 】

Just as Lin Yi was sitting on the ground, closing his eyes and concentrating, thinking about how to further optimize the attack method of [Abyss Shadow·Blade of the End], the prompt sound of Samsara Paradise abruptly interrupted his thoughts.

Lin Yi opened his eyes, tapped the air with his fingertips, and brought up the email interface.

The sender is Gu Lao, and the content is brief: [Just finished the work at hand, and came to the bar. ]

The high-intensity training during this period has indeed made Lin Yi nervous, so it would be nice to go out and take a breath.

After leaving the trial field, he went straight to the Fire Moth bar.

The moment I pushed the door open, I was hit by a wave of hustle and bustle - the bar was much busier than usual today and was almost full.

Looking across the bar, Alicia was mixing drinks skillfully while Mebius was counting the inventory, both of them were very busy.

Lin Yi did not disturb them, but walked straight to the booth in the corner.

Gu Lao picked up a glass of bright red Bloody Mary and poured it into his mouth. Lin Yi noticed that Gu Lao's black robe, which had always been spotless, was now stained with large patches of dark blood.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yi frowned slightly, his gaze lingering on the bloodstains for a moment.

"Hey, don't mention it." Gu Lao put down the wine glass heavily, and the bottom of the glass made a crisp sound when it hit the bar.

He tugged at his collar, revealing a hideous wound on his neck that had not yet fully healed. "I was tricked by an old acquaintance. He said I was going to the native world to help out a little, but I almost lost my life."

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and sat down opposite Gu La.

He reached out and picked up an unopened bottle of vodka from the bar, put his thumb on the cork and pushed it gently. With a "pop" sound, the cork popped out.

The amber wine poured out, creating an alluring luster in the glass.

Gu Lao grinned, "A guy who calls himself 'Raven', who specializes in taking orders from high-risk worlds. This time he was supposed to go to a safer native world to collect some 'Ancient God Residues', but he ended up stepping into the shithole where the Ancient God awakened, and he almost died there."

"But there's nothing we can do about it." Gu Lao raised his head and took a sip of wine, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. "The battle for supremacy will begin soon. All the people who are eligible to participate in Samsara Paradise are now trying like crazy to improve their strength."

"A battle between the strong?"

“Hmm?” Gu Lao suddenly stopped moving, with the wine glass hanging in the air. He stared at Lin Yi in surprise, “You are already at level five, why don’t you know this?”

He narrowed his eyes, as if trying to see through something, "Could it be that you haven't been to the fifth-level arena yet?"

"I've been a bit busy lately, I've been in the Land of All Living Things, and I haven't had time to go to the arena."

"No wonder, that makes sense."

Hearing that Lin Yi was currently in the Land of All Living Beings, Gu Lao instantly understood why Lin Yi said that he had no time.

He was very familiar with that hellish place called the Land of All Living Things. It was simply a time black hole.

No matter they are technical or ordinary contractors, they will stay there like possessed to develop abilities that suit them, often for ten days or half a month.

"Then you'd better make an effort to rank in the fifth-tier arena during this period. Maybe you can find a way to get involved."

After hearing the ancient saying, Lin Yi didn't say much. He took out the [Ancient Ghost Bloodline] and prepared to complete the transaction quickly.

"Well, it's a B-bloodline that can obtain a small amount of attribute values ​​by devouring elite creatures. It's quite suitable for training newcomers. How about 500 million Paradise Coins? You also know that this thing is not very useful for high-level contractors, so the price will naturally not be too high."

Lin Yi simply nodded and completed the transaction.

After leaving Staff Street, Lin Yi walked straight towards the arena, ready to see how the fifth-level arena differed from the previous arena.
