Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Yi returned to his exclusive room.

[Hunters are welcome to use the Honor Store. Please read the following exchange regulations carefully. 】

A cold reminder sounded, followed by a series of redemption terms: Items in the Honor Store can only be redeemed with Honor Medals, and cannot be traded or transferred...

The terms and conditions were quickly reviewed, and then the exchange list was expanded, with a wide variety of rare items appearing before Lin Yi.

[As the hunter holds the Diamond Medal of Honor, the following exchange is available. 】

[Number of Diamond Medals of Honor: 3.]

【The End Bell】

Type: Disposable consumable
Effect: After activation, the "End Field" with a radius of 500 meters will be expanded with itself as the center. All enemy units (including the environment and summons) within the range will be forced into a "time stagnation" state for 3 seconds (priority is level eight).

The user can move freely, and the next attack will definitely trigger the "Final Judgment": if the target's health is less than 30%, it will be annihilated directly (ignoring resurrection skills).

Price: 3 Diamond Medals of Honor

Note: "These are the sounds of the final bell, but the pendulum stops only for you."

……

【Blood of Defiance】

Type: Permanent Strengthening Potion

Effect: After drinking, the real physical strength attribute is permanently increased by 5 points. When receiving fatal damage, there is a 10% chance to forcibly retain 1 point of health and trigger "Blood Rage" (all attributes +20%, lasting 5 seconds).

Price: 5 Diamond Medals of Honor (each contractor can only use it once)
Note: "The so-called fate is nothing but blood not hot enough."

……

Linus Life Support Device

Effect: Can survive for 180 natural days in extremely harsh environments.

Price: 1 Diamond Medals of Honor.

……

【Black Maple Leaf】

Grade: Extremely rare

Origin: Void only.

Present: Samsara Paradise can be produced in trace quantities.

Effect: There are too many uses, so you need to open the branch list to view.

Price: 1 Diamond Medals of Honor.

It is worthy of being the Diamond Medal of Honor. The items that can be exchanged for are indeed much better than those of the Gold Medal of Honor.

Considering that the next world will be a world of war, Lin Yi directly exchanged for the [Bell of the End]. This thing is obviously a super killer weapon. If Lin Yi falls into an extremely disadvantageous situation, he can rush into the enemy formation and choose to start a team fight.

In the following time, although the scabbard had not yet been transformed, Lin Yi still went to the arena to prepare to improve his ranking.

[You have entered the arena, please select a mode. 】

【Competitive mode/spectator mode. 】.

[Watching mode: You can watch other players fight. It costs 1000 to 12000 Paradise Coins per hour. You can choose to watch the game. ]

[Current games: 12543.]

[The arena ranking has been updated, Paradise Arena ranking: 8381 (Level ). ]

【Competitor: Lin Yi. 】

【Condition: Good. 】

[Number of consecutive wins: 23 games.]

[Top ten honorary awards: Not obtained. ]

Lin Yi took a look at the arena rankings and found that he had dropped more than ten places compared to the last time he left the arena. It seemed that it was because he had not played for a while, so many competitors improved their rankings and squeezed Lin Yi out.

However, this does not have much impact. With Lin Yi's current advantage in winning games, one victory can raise his ranking.

[Matching opponents...]

[Match successful, opponent ranking: 7845 (Level ). ]

The light of transmission flashed, and the scene in front of Lin Yi suddenly changed - the boundless blue sea spread out under his feet, and he was standing on an isolated island.

Looking up, the audience seats were suspended in the sky, as if the kingdom of gods had descended to earth, overlooking the battle that was about to unfold.

Lin Yi still maintained his usual attire—a pure black priest robe, his face covered with a pale faceless mask, his whole body exuding a mysterious and eerie aura.

Of course, this outfit has no attribute bonus and is purely a personal bad taste, but it is more than enough to bluff people.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" A clear voice came from the sky, "Let us welcome the new warriors!"

Lin Yi looked up and saw a member of the Star Clan floating in front of the audience, explaining passionately.

He couldn't help but be stunned - the Star Clan was extremely rare in the void, and he had never encountered them even after traveling to many places. He didn't expect to meet them in the arena of the Samsara Paradise, and they were even serving as the host.

"Interesting..." Lin Yi whispered to himself, "I can actually see the Star Clan here. It's really eye-opening."

"Ha! Who said it wasn't?" A lazy male voice suddenly came from the side.

Lin Yi turned his head and saw a man wearing fancy beach pants and colorful sunglasses. At the moment, he was leisurely holding his head with his hands, just like a tourist on vacation at the beach.

——Is this guy really here to fight in the arena?

"Let's not waste any more time, and let the game begin now."

The commentator of the Star Clan is different from the commentators of other races. He looks very cold and aloof, which is completely different from the passionate commentary style of other races.

At the moment of the announcement, the countdown appeared: [Three, two, one.]

【start.】

The moment the prompt fell, Lin Yi's figure disappeared on the beach.

The moment the other party saw Lin Yi disappear, he immediately raised his hand, and Lin Yi's sprint came to an abrupt halt.

In his perception, layers of strange dark purple lines suddenly appeared on the beach.

These lines gave Lin Yi a very dangerous feeling. If he stepped on them, something bad would probably happen.

"You can even find out this? You have a dog's nose, right? Could it be that you are from that crazy paradise?" Mo Ze's originally cynical expression gradually turned gloomy.

He came from the Paradise of Light, a place famous for its light-related abilities, but ironically, he happened to be a dark wizard.

This beach outfit is just a disguise he carefully designed. After all, in the common perception, dark wizards should be wrapped in heavy robes and hide in the shadows.

Seeing that Lin Yi had no objection, Mo Ze's face gradually darkened.

The atmosphere in the audience instantly boiled over with this conversation. The stereo sound effects of the arena clearly transmitted the conversation between the two to every corner. When the word "Reincarnation Paradise" appeared, the cheers suddenly rose by octaves.

For the audience in the auditorium, as long as the contractor of the Samsara Paradise appears, it is likely that this duel will be a massacre game.

After confirming Lin Yi's identity, Mo Ze's hair stood on end.

He activated his magic power, and dozens of black energy balls suddenly appeared behind him, like stars, completely blocking all of Lin Yi's retreat routes.

"Dark Eclipse Starfall!"

The moment the magic ball whizzed out, Lin Yi's figure disappeared again out of thin air.

Moze's pupils shrank, and his fighting instinct made him immediately plunge his staff into the sand. The surging dark energy exploded from under his feet like a volcanic eruption: "Dark Swamp!"

The originally golden beach was instantly twisted and deformed, turning into a black quagmire with bubbles rising from it.

But the expected sound of falling did not come - Mo Ze looked up and saw that the soles of Lin Yi's boots were hovering steadily in the air, and a faint silver light flashed under his feet.

Is that a silk thread?
Mo Ze was shocked to find that the entire battlefield was already covered with countless nearly transparent filaments.

These silk threads, thinner than a hair, appear faintly in the sunlight, like a death web carefully woven by a spider.

And all the dark imprints he had carefully laid out became useless graffiti on the beach - because Lin Yi would never set foot on the ground.

"When?!" Mo Ze felt a chill on his back.

"While you are talking nonsense." Lin Yi turned his wrist slightly, and a slight clanging sound was heard in the air.

All the threads instantly stretched straight like guitar strings, and the space between the two people twisted in an instant.

Mo Ze didn't even have time to blink before Lin Yi's sword was already at his throat.

He instinctively wanted to raise his staff, but found that his movements were ridiculously slow in front of Lin Yi.

"Swish!" A cold light cut through the air.

Moze felt a chill at his waist, and when he looked down, he saw that his staff and his upper body were slowly sliding down.

If the arena's blood-locking rules hadn't been in effect, this sword would have been enough to kill him instantly.

"Cough cough cough" Moze spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the coconut tree pattern on his beach pants red.

He raised his head with difficulty, looking at the black figure that was looking down at him, and suddenly realized something: "Damn it. This is a monster that is trying to top the list."

Without any hesitation, he decisively pressed the surrender button.

What a joke, with such an overwhelming gap in strength, continuing the fight would only bring humiliation to oneself.

【The battle was won.】

[The arena ranking has been updated, Paradise Arena ranking: 7713th (Level ). ]

After dealing with Moze, Lin Yi stayed in the arena and chose to continue matching.

The audience seats were boiling instantly!

"Go on! He actually wants to continue!"

"Quick! Bet all your points!"

“This is definitely a big fish!”

Many workers rushed to the betting points frantically, and the originally noisy arena now looked more like a crazy casino.

Twenty seconds later, a new opponent was teleported into the arena.

The one who appeared this time was a healing contractor wearing a white priest robe. When he saw Lin Yi, he greeted Lin Yi with a harmless smile on his face.

Lin Yi nodded slightly as a response.

【The battle begins】

As soon as the prompt sounded, an unexpected scene happened——

"Healing light!"

The nanny waved her staff, and a ray of holy light fell directly on Lin Yi.

However, the next second, Lin Yi's arm and leg muscles began to swell and twist unnaturally, and it seemed as if countless worms were crawling under his skin!

"Haha, you got it!" The nanny raised her chin proudly, "This is my unique skill--" Before she finished speaking, her smile suddenly froze on her face.

The deformed flesh and blood on Lin Yi's body shrank and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

What's even more terrifying is that Lin Yi's eyes did not fluctuate at all from beginning to end, as if everything that had just happened was just a boring trick.

"Well you. How did you do that?"

The nanny opposite opened her eyes wide, looking at the scene in disbelief.

Her poisonous healing skill never fails, and even she herself cannot remove the negative effects it brings.

But the guy in front of me resolved the crisis in just a few seconds.

The reason why Lin Yi was able to break the erosion of the poisonous milk lies in his control over the power of the abyss.

The power of the abyss is extremely sensitive to the origin of life. Under his precise control, this power quickly devoured the life energy dissipated in the body and completely offset the effect of the poisonous milk.

In the blink of an eye, his swollen arms and legs returned to normal, as if they had never been affected.

Come and don't go indecent.

Since the other party used poison milk against him, Lin Yi would naturally fight back.

He raised his hand and waved it, and a ray of healing light instantly enveloped the nurse.

“Wait, this is—Ah!!”

She discovered to her horror that her body began to swell uncontrollably.

But unlike her skills, the effect of Lin Yi's poisonous milk was more overbearing - her limbs, torso, and even every inch of her skin were swelling wildly, her skin was stretched to be almost transparent, and the blood vessels under the skin were clearly visible. The whole person was like a balloon that was about to burst.

"No... Impossible! How could you..." The nanny's scream echoed in the arena, her voice distorted by fear.

She pressed her hands tightly against her bulging belly, trying to stop the life force running wild in her body, but it was all in vain - her skin was stretched to the limit, and the blood vessels beneath her skin were exposed hideously, as if they would burst in the next second.

Bang-!
With a dull thud, her body finally reached its limit and exploded!

Blood mist filled the air, and the tattered priest robes slowly fell like withered petals. The ground of the arena was dyed dark red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

However, the battle is not over.

The next second, the scattered flesh and blood re-condensed as if time was reversed, and the nurse's body was reassembled under the resurrection mechanism of the arena.

However, her priest robe had been completely destroyed in the explosion. At this moment, she stood naked in front of Lin Yi, with tidal waves of blood still lingering on her pale skin.

Before she could open her mouth, a burst of whistles and boos suddenly broke out from the audience.

Only then did she realize it and looked down at herself - her smooth skin was particularly eye-catching under the lights of the arena, and her curves were clearly visible.

But as a fifth-level contractor who has experienced countless life and death tests, this level of accident would no longer make her panic.

"Tsk, what a bad taste."

She curled her lips, not panicking, but calmly put one hand on her waist, casually lifted her hair with the other hand, and rolled her eyes at Lin Yi.

"The degree of perversion is proportional to the strength, right? Okay, I'll remember that." She waved her hand lazily, "I hope I don't run into you in the next war world, otherwise..."

Before she finished her words, her figure turned into a white light and was teleported out of the arena.

Looking at the place where she disappeared, Lin Yi seemed to be thinking about something.

To be fair, the ability of Poison Milk is indeed tricky - if it wasn't restrained by his power of the abyss, with that woman's strength, her ranking in the fifth-level arena would definitely be able to move up a lot.

【The battle was won.】

[The competition rankings have been updated, Paradise Arena ranking: 7513th (Level ). 】

Three hours later, Lin Yi's ranking continued to rise, but as a price, only one third of the abyss power in Lin Yi's body remained.

[Hunter has completed thirty-fifth consecutive victory. ]

【Competitor: Lin Yi. 】

【Status: Fatigue. 】

[Paradise Arena Ranking: 52th (Level ). ]

[Top ten honorary awards: Not obtained. ]

Lin Yi chose to continue the match. The qualifications for participating in the battle of the strongest had already been made clear in the Samsara Paradise - only those who were among the top 50 in the fifth level were eligible to participate in that peak showdown.

And this battle will determine whether he can successfully get the ticket.

[Matching opponents...]

[Match successful, opponent ranking: 51 (Level ). ]

A breeze blew by, and light pink petals fluttered in the sky.

In the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, a slender figure stood quietly.

A girl wearing a platinum robe and holding a bladed staff stood in the sea of ​​flowers. She had fair skin and one silver and one blue pupil.

Judging from her attire, this is obviously another wet nurse.

But unlike the previous opponent who was good at poisonous healing, the one in front of him was a typical combat healer.

"Are you my opponent? Tsk, you're also from Samsara Paradise."

Muhua glanced at Lin Yi and smelled the same scent from Lin Yi.

Looking at Lin Yi, she also made it into the top 100 by virtue of her winning streak.

But after entering the top 100, every victory becomes extremely difficult.

Muhua knew that this was probably her limit.

but……

She looked at Lin Yi who was standing opposite her.

The other person's condition didn't look much better than hers—his breathing was a little rapid and there were still unhealed scars on his body.

"It seems that today is my lucky day."

Muhua raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and the blade staff turned a beautiful arc in her palm.

She is determined to win this battle.

"Humph, a mere technical profession dares to act so arrogant in front of me?"

Muhua sneered contemptuously, spread out her five fingers, and casually brushed back the silver hair in front of her forehead.

Amazingly, she managed to neatly tie her hair into a high ponytail with just one hand, and her hair fluttered slightly in the wind.

——Such exaggerated actions and such lines that are full of middle school feeling.

Lin Yi's mouth twitched slightly. The battle girl in front of him was obviously a severe late-stage chuunibyou patient. What made him even more speechless was that the pair of heterochromatic pupils were obviously wearing cosmetic contact lenses, and the silver hair was probably dyed.

This scene is strangely familiar.
Lin Yi suddenly remembered how he imitated Chen Haonan after watching Young and Dangerous when he was 13 or 14 years old. That dark history made him dig his toes into the ground when he thought about it now.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Yi finally suppressed the shame in his heart.

Immediately, colorful lights of halo, shield, and buff appeared on Lin Yi's body.

"Wait!" Muhua's eyes widened, and the blade staff almost fell out of her hand. "Aren't you a sword master?! Why do you have these priest skills?!"

"Who said that priests can't play with swords?"

After the buff was applied, several curse skills fell on Muhua at the same time, and Muhua's status bar was instantly dyed blood red.

Weakness, slowness, life loss. The densely packed debuff icons make one's scalp tingle.

“What the hell is this?” Before Mu Hua could finish her curse, Lin Yi’s figure was already approaching.

"Qiang——!"

Being able to rank in the top 100 in the arena, Muhua is certainly not a rookie. She swept the blade staff across, and a blazing white holy light burst out from the tip of the staff, forcing Lin Yi to retreat half a step.

But in the next second, the power of the abyss suddenly entangled the edge of Lin Yi's sword.

"What the hell is that?!" Mu Hua's pupils shrank suddenly, and she instinctively jumped back to dodge. But she was a beat too late, and the sword energy brushed past her exposed arm. Suddenly, spider-web-like black lines appeared on her skin, and her health and physical strength began to drain at the same time.

At the same time, a series of new debuff icons popped up in the status bar.

"Fuck!" Muhua cast a purification spell on herself, but unfortunately her purification spell authority level was completely incomparable to Lin Yi's, and she only cleared the two most basic debuffs.

What’s even more desperate is that the black lines entangled with the power of the abyss are still spreading. Every three seconds, a new negative icon will pop up in the status bar, just like a pop-up window of a computer infected with a virus.

"Poisonous milk? Curse? Swordsmanship? What exactly is your profession?!" Mu Hua was so angry that her silver teeth were about to break. The blade staff suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light - this was to activate the dispel special effect of the equipment.

"This is called all-round development." Lin Yi finally spoke, and at the same time, the sword's momentum suddenly accelerated, and each strike was accurately cut in the gaps between the chants of Muhua's healing technique.

In the audience, the gamblers were going crazy.

"Shit! Can a civil war between priests lead to bloodshed?!"

"The nurses in the Reincarnation Paradise all have the Berserker attribute, right?!"

"I'm going to crush him!"

Muhua was forced to retreat step by step, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "Don't underestimate me, bastard!"

She suddenly pulled off the silver cross pendant around her neck and crushed it fiercely - [Holy Punishment Form·Liberation]!
In an instant, a column of holy light with a diameter of more than ten meters shot up into the sky. Muhua's silver hair completely turned pure white in the energy surge, and six wings made of pure light energy slowly spread out behind her.

The blade staff decomposed and reassembled in the holy light, and finally turned into a gorgeous spear wrapped in blazing white holy flames.

"You are qualified to be my opponent if you can force me to use this move!" Mu Hua's voice echoed with an ethereal sound, and the spear pointed directly at Lin Yi: "The next blow will hurt a lot~"

Lin Yi looked at the middle school girl who had activated her ultimate form, and silently compressed the energy in his body into the sword blade.

When the sword was pointed at Muhua, the latter suddenly felt a shudder from the soul.

'Abyssal Shadow: Blade of the End'

A black crack as thin as a hair quietly emerged, extending from the tip of Lin Yi's sword to Mu Hua's chest - that was the mark of space being cut by pure energy.

"So fast?"

boom--! ! !
The sword mark on Muhua's chest suddenly burst out with earth-shattering energy, and the terrifying shock wave even caused spider-web-like cracks in the arena's protective shield.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Muhua was seen lying in a big letter shape in the middle of the deep pit, four of her six light wings were broken, and the Holy Flame Spear had turned back into a dull blade staff.

"Ahem." She spat out a mouthful of blood with black mist, "You are nothing more than a monster in human skin."

Raising her shaking hands with difficulty, Muhua decisively pressed the surrender button: "I'm not going to fight anymore. I'd rather bully noobs instead."

Before the white light flashed, the audience could vaguely hear her mumbling: "If the ranking drops to 200, I should be able to meet normal people."

【The battle was won.】

[The arena ranking has been updated, Paradise Arena ranking: 48th (Level ). ]

[It has been detected that the contractor has entered the top 50 of the Paradise Arena ranking. Hunters please do not disclose the following information to the outside world, otherwise you will be punished by forced execution. 】
