[The notarization party for this "Strong Battle": Void Tree. 】

After seeing this series of hints, Lin Yi understood why the news about the Strongest Battle was so seldom circulated outside. Anyone who leaked the relevant information would be punished. It can be seen that Paradise also attached great importance to the Strongest Battle.

However, judging from the participants, it actually covered such a wide range of paradise, the void and the transcendental world. This scale of cross-dimensional war was unprecedented in all the missions he had experienced.

Although the transcendent world is not necessarily a broken feather, the participation of the six great paradises and the five void races alone is enough to make this battle for supremacy a true peak showdown.

While he was thinking, Lin Yi had already left the arena.

The top fifty warriors in the arena were all tough nut to crack, so he decided to postpone the challenge and continue to strive for a higher ranking after completing the next world.

Just as Lin Yi stepped out of the arena, the communication list suddenly flashed. It was a message from Su Xiao: "I asked Beni to bring you something. Remember to check it."

After seeing Su Xiao’s message, Lin Yi waited for a while at the entrance of the arena.

After a while, a cat with shiny fur appeared gracefully in front of Lin Yi.

After seeing Lin Yi, Benny called out twice, then took out two bottles of potion from the team space and handed them to Lin Yi.

【Glorious Potion】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise, Holy Flame Pharmacist

Quality: gold

Type: permanent gain potion
Effect: After drinking/injecting, permanently increase nerve reflex speed by 8% and dynamic vision by 8% (this potion takes effect below 150 points of real attribute, and repeated use is invalid)

Introduction: Dark abilities disabled (maker's note).

Price: 98000 Paradise Coins
……

The surface of the other potion was glowing with a purer golden halo; it was the perfect version of the [Glorious Potion].

"Did Bai Ye mix it?" Lin Yi looked at Benny and asked in a low voice.

As one of the few insiders, he knew better than anyone that the person behind the Holy Flame Pharmacist, which had caused a sensation in the pharmacist circle in the Samsara Paradise, was Bai Ye.

"Meow." Benny nodded. Seeing this, Lin Yi put away the two bottles of potion. At the same time, he sent a message to Su Xiao, asking Su Xiao to strive for a ranking in the arena as soon as possible, and said that there was only one spot left.

He glanced down and saw that the [Glorious Potion] he was mixing in his hand suddenly emitted green smoke with a hissing sound, and turned into a pool of ashes in the blink of an eye.

Su Xiao stared at the charred residue on the experimental table, rarely showing a look of heartache.

He read Lin Yi's message twice and suddenly understood what Lin Yi meant.

The next second, Su Xiao grabbed the Dragon Slash that was leaning against the wall. The scabbard was shining coldly under the light of the laboratory.

The moment the long knife was in hand, the temperature of the entire laboratory seemed to drop a few degrees.

Above Su Xiao's head, a pitch-black demon eagle was circling, its sharp eagle eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time.

This is a puppet creature he made using the flesh and blood core. It has decent strength, but its only shortcoming is that it is too noisy.

"Ga! Master, are you going to fight? Take me with you! I guarantee that I will peck your opponent's head full of lumps!" The magic eagle flapped its wings and chattered incessantly.

Lidya Su rubbed his temples and decided to ignore this talkative follower.

He called up the arena ranking interface, looked at his position of 47305, and frowned slightly.

It is simply a fantasy to want to make it into the top 50 on your own, let alone the top 1,000.

Fortunately, Bubuwang, Am, Benny, and Baha are all Su Xiao's servants or summons. They can also assist Su Xiao in fighting in the Paradise Arena. Before, Su Xiao wanted to use the arena to accumulate combat experience, so he did not use them to play.

"Come here." Su Xiao said in a deep voice.

Soon, Bubuwang was the first to rush over, wagging his tail, followed closely by Am with heavy steps, and Baha dived down steadily from mid-air.

"This time, everyone will participate in the battle." Su Xiao briefly explained the plan.

At the same time, Lin Yi had already arrived at Xia's restaurant.

After a whole day of intense fighting, his stomach had already begun to protest.

While waiting for the food to be served, he took out the two bottles of [Glorious Potion] and drank them all in one gulp.

The moment the medicine entered the mouth, a cool minty flavor spread in the mouth, and then turned into a warm current and slid into the stomach.

Lin Yi smacked his lips. Apart from the cool feeling that continued to come from his stomach, he didn't feel anything special for the time being.

[Your nerve reflex speed is permanently increased by 2%, and your dynamic vision is increased by 1%. ]

[Your nerve reflex speed is permanently increased by 3%, and your dynamic vision is increased by 5%. ]

[Glorious Potion] is not a strong medicine. Its effect is as gentle as the morning light, and the improvement process will last for a full half hour.

The contractors are not fools. If it is a potion that relies on overdrawing life potential to forcibly improve physical fitness, no one will easily try it unless it is a life-and-death situation - after all, no one wants to make a one-time deal.

Half an hour later, Lin Yi felt that the world around him had slowed down. The perfect quality [Glorious Potion] permanently increased his nerve reflex speed by 10% and his dynamic vision by 10%.

When Lin Yi opened his eyes again, the noise came into his ears again.

He moved his fingers lightly and could clearly feel the changes brought about by the increased speed of his nerve reflexes - when Xia passed by him with the plate, he could even see the slight shaking of the soup in the plate.

Lin Yi picked up the knife and fork, and the metal flashed a cold light under the light.

He squinted his eyes subconsciously - his newly acquired dynamic vision made these ordinary reflections extremely invasive. It seemed that this enhanced sensory system would require a period of adjustment before it could be fully mastered.

"How was the arena today?" a familiar voice came from behind.

Lin Yi knew it was Xia without turning around. He put down his knife and fork, turned around and saw Xia wiping the water stains on his hands with his signature gentle smile on his face.

"It's OK, I just encountered a few tough opponents." Lin Yi pointed to the empty bottle of [Glorious Potion] in front of him, "I just used some supplements, and now my senses are a bit overloaded. Let me adjust my state."

Xia nodded clearly and placed the plate gently in front of Lin Yi.

The sizzling oil on the surface of the steak is infinitely magnified under dynamic vision, and each bead of fat seems to be slowed down several times, slowly blooming and falling.

Lin Yi closed his eyes, his temples throbbing.

The oversensitivity of his auditory nerves turned all the surrounding sounds into sharp noises - the crisp sound of dishes colliding in the distant kitchen, the low voices of pedestrians talking on the street, and even the subtle hum of the air-conditioning vents, all hit his eardrums at an exaggerated amplitude.

He took a deep breath and forced himself into a meditative state.

This was a skill he had learned from countless battles - sinking his consciousness deep into his spirit and calibrating the sensitivity of his five senses bit by bit like adjusting a precision instrument.

".Yi? Lin Yi?"

When the voice finally returned to normal speaking speed, Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes.

The steak on the plate had long stopped steaming, and the condensed fat on the surface showed that it had been sitting for quite some time.

It seemed that this sensory adjustment took much longer than he expected.

He picked up the dinner knife again. This time, the reflection of the metal was no longer as glaring as before, but just emitted a normal cold light.

Lin Yi moved his finger joints, feeling the balance in his body.

Now, only when he is highly concentrated and completely in combat mode, will the world around him once again show that strange slow-motion effect.

A day later, Lin Yi came to Reed's blacksmith shop to get the scabbard.

When Lin Yi came over, he found Reed sitting outside the blacksmith shop enjoying the cool breeze.

He held a half-full can of beer in his hand. The malt-colored liquid had an amber luster, but he didn't take a sip.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you concentrating so hard?" Lin Yi waved his hand in front of Reed's eyes.

With a slight click, the beer can deformed slightly in Reed's hand. He looked up as if waking up from a dream, with a rare look of confusion on his face: "You're here."

Reed looked a little absent-minded at the moment, which was completely different from his usual bold and outgoing personality.

"What's wrong? What could have made you so upset?" Lin Yi sat down against the wooden box.

"Do you think it's time for me to have a child?"

"Puff." Lin Yi quickly turned his face away, his shoulders shaking continuously.

He originally thought that Reed had encountered something life-threatening, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of trouble that was quite typical of life.

Reed enjoyed wealth and glory in the first half of his life, but was trapped in a dark mausoleum in the second half.

If Lin Yi and Su Xiao had not devised a plan to lure him to the Samsara Paradise, this forging master would probably still be living with insects in the ancient tomb.

After leaving the Xia continent, the desires that had been suppressed by the long imprisonment are awakening little by little.

"Are you serious? Last month you said women would only slow down your forging speed."

"Take the scabbard and get out of here. Don't disturb my rest."

"Tsk, are you in such a hurry to get me out?" Lin Yi shook the scabbard deliberately, "Are you shy?"

Reed's rough face suddenly darkened. He grabbed the hammer at hand and pretended to smash it: "If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will melt the scabbard and recast it?"

Lin Yi quickly took two steps back, but still had a mischievous smile on his face: "Okay, okay, I'll go now. But..." He paused, and his tone suddenly became serious, "If you really decide, remember to treat me to the wedding."

Reed was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and cursed with a smile: "Get lost!"

……

After taking the [Soul Forging Oath] and equipping it, Lin Yi immediately let the entire scabbard disappear into thin air.

Lin Yi closed his eyes and found that this thing was already bound to himself. As long as Lin Yi needed it, the scabbard would appear out of thin air in his hand.

If you don't need it, you can put it away, which is very convenient.

"This transmogrification effect is quite convenient. I'll be leaving now. Best wishes to you."

"Get out of here!" Reed interrupted him angrily and turned to rush into the blacksmith shop.

A moment later, two boxes with completely different packaging were thrown out roughly.

Lin Yi caught it quickly and almost laughed out loud.

In the first box, his priest robe was folded neatly, and the pungent smell of metal polish remained on the surface - this perfunctory maintenance method was indeed Reed's style.

The second box is much more interesting. The hammer marks on the lid are clearly visible, and there are several obvious dents on the corners.

After opening it, although Su Xiao's iconic black leather jacket was restored to look like new, the way it was folded looked like it had been crumpled into a ball and stuffed in.

It took Reed a whole day to repair the two pieces of equipment. Lin Yi's priest robe took Reed 20 minutes, and the remaining 23 hours and 40 minutes were all spent on struggling with this long leather jacket.

Reed could be said to have been cursing while he was repairing the product, and in the end he was so angry that he didn't even bother to package it properly.

Now Reed gets annoyed when he sees Su Xiao's long leather jacket. If Su Xiao wasn't there, Reed would definitely smash his head with a hammer.

The reason why Reed suddenly became sad today was that he was mentally disturbed by Su Xiao's long leather jacket.

Lin Yi looked at Reed's irritable look and couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

He sent a message to Lidya Su, and after learning that the other party was having dinner at Xia's restaurant, he decided to deliver the leather jacket over on the way.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Lin Yi discovered that there was another animal next to Su Xiao.

Lin Yi walked up to Bubuwang and stroked its head, then came to the table and threw the box containing the leather jacket to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao glanced expressionlessly at the obvious dent and suspicious footprint marks on the lid of the box. He said nothing and silently put the box into the storage space.

Baha tilted his head and looked at Lin Yi, a hint of surprise flashing in his eagle eyes.

As Su Xiao's servant, it knew its master's character very well.

"Woof! Woof woof woof!" Bubu Wang barked enthusiastically a few times, and his furry tail wagged like a small propeller.

It gestured with its front paws, explaining something to Baha in the unique canine way.

"I see." Baha's eagle beak opened and closed, revealing a human-like expression of realization. It spread its wings and gently landed on the edge of the dining table, nodding to Lin Yi.

At this moment, Su Xiao was bored and playing with the unknown eyeball he obtained in the Phantom World. So far, he didn't know the function of this thing. The only thing that was certain was that this thing did not belong to the Phantom World, nor was it produced in the Reincarnation Paradise, and could not be stored in the storage space. By accident, the two even brought this thing to the real world.

"What? Are you still thinking about what this thing is useful for?"

As Lin Yi spoke, he also took out his own identical eyeball from his arms.

Two eyeballs were placed side by side on the table, with similar dark patterns flowing on their surfaces.

Su Xiao tapped the surface of the eyeball with his fingertips and suddenly said, “Maybe we got the wrong way to use it.”

He picked up one of them and applied a little force with his knuckles. "There are two anyway, let's give it a try."

Lin Yi was about to dissuade him, but with a crisp click, Su Xiao chose the most primitive way to open it.

A crack appeared in the unknown eyeball, and as Su Xiao pried open the eyeball, a dark red energy seeped out from the crack and condensed into a twisted ram-horn-shaped symbol in the air.

The symbol was suspended between the two of them, emitting disturbing fluctuations.

With a bang, the energy symbol exploded. Su Xiao and Lin Yi felt a strong pulling force at the same time, and then their eyes went black and they lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yi felt a hard touch on his face. He opened his eyes and found himself lying on a stone slab covered with twisted lines.

"Welcome to the Starry Sky, lucky traveler. You only have one chance to make a deal with us."

A hoarse voice was heard, and when Lin Yi raised his head, the voice of the black fog stopped instantly.

Looking at the figure shrouded in black mist, Lin Yi felt a familiar soul fluctuation from it.

Just when Lin Yi was about to say Rutheran's name, Su Xiao on the side suddenly drew out the Dragon Slash from his waist and aimed it at another person here.

"It's really... an unexpected encounter."

Lin Yi looked in the direction where Su Xiao drew his sword and found a man in tattered clothes. Although Lin Yi had never seen this man before, he could feel the same aura from Su Xiao's body.

But Lin Yi knew that Su Xiao was the only living Shadow of Destruction in the entire void. That meant that the ragged man in front of him was the Sword Demon. The aura of the same origin was too strong.

Su Xiao took a deep breath. He understood the gap between the two of them. It was not something that could be overcome by fighting desperately. Now he was no longer prepared to leave this hellhole alive.

The Sword Demon was also looking at Su Xiao, but he did not stand up.

"Traveler, don't be so alert. This is not the real guy."

The black mist figure spoke, he raised his hand surrounded by black smoke, snapped his fingers, and the tattered 'Sword Demon' stood up.

Click, click...

The 'Knife Demon' made a unique clicking sound like gears rubbing against each other. Su Xiao discovered that it did not seem to be a living being, but more like a mechanism.

"The Sword Demon is also one of us, but he has only been here once. After killing Leo, he was driven out by us. The only way we can get some of his aura is because of the mediation of the Saint. Of course, I also paid a big price. After all, this robot is very useful in the void. That guy is crazy..."

The figure in the black mist chuckled, and while he was talking, the robot with the aura of the sword demon had already walked away and entered the mist at the edge. It was a chaotic place and no one knew where it led to.

"Rutheran, are you guys playing the black-hearted grandfather trick again?"

Just as the black mist figure was about to continue speaking, Lin Yi suddenly revealed his identity, causing Rutheran to stop laughing. (End of this chapter)
