Vol 50 Chapter 9: : Contracts and Transactions

The third floor of the Watcher Tower, the Soul Trial Office.
Su Xiao looked at the soul guard, thorn woman, ghost hunter, soul mage, black steel knight, and soul master in front of him. Counting this time, he had met these six guys for the third time.
At first, Su Xiao thought that these six guys were the resident gatekeepers of the Soul Arena. Soul Guard and Thorny Girl were the elite monsters in the first two stages. Ghost Hunter, Soul Mage, and Black Steel Knight were the next three stages. oss, and the master of the soul is the big boss at the bottom...
But Su Xiao later found out that these six guys are not only the gatekeepers of the Soul Arena notarized by the Tree of Void, but they also take private jobs. If the benefits given are high enough, they can rely on the powerful summoning ability of the soul system. The one who summoned them temporarily had confronted the evil ghost Kain before, and the other party summoned the Soul Six to prepare to deal with Su Xiao.
Now it seems that the six souls not only take personal jobs, but they are also the bosses of the third floor and the first level of the Watcher Tower.
In fact, the six soul group not only have these two identities, they are also the defenders of the ghost forest. As for why the six soul group should do these at the same time, Su Xiao can't ask, otherwise it is easy to make the six soul group angry All burst into tears.
If it wasn't for someone who looted the Soul Arena, smashed and took away the Soul Stone throne fixed on the ground, and spent time in the Soul Arena + the Soul Six who slaughtered the eighth-order challenger with one hand, there would be no need. Acting as so many identities, and occasionally taking up private work that was previously disdainful.
However, as a gain, after being beaten by Su Xiao with his soul ability, the Soul Six Group no longer has the arrogance of the past, at least after a new challenger came to the Soul Arena, and it was extra arrogant after no longer winning. .
As Su Xiao walked into the edge of the battle arena, he saw a shrine several thousand meters in size. He needed to defeat the Soul Six here, but he could only use Soul Element abilities here. .
Not every challenger has soul-type abilities, so the notarization here is the same as in the Soul Arena. After Su Xiao entered the battle arena, he triggered the notarization and got a 10-minute time limit for ability selection.
A stone platform rose from the front, and there was an unfolded metal book on it. Su Xiao pressed his hand on it, and the prompt appeared.

[This challenge is a total of three games. If you win each game, you can reset all temporarily mastered soul abilities. 】
...
Last time in the Soul Arena, Su Xiao was "shock back" + "Soul Crystal Spear" against the enemy, this time he is going to change the way.
Su Xiao weighed it, and then chose to master the three abilities of "Soul Missile" + "Intermediate Gain" + "Spiritual Energy Fountain". Soul Missile is the main combat ability. After raising its level high enough, no matter whether it is a single condensate The number, or the power, can reach a considerable level.
Su Xiao tried to gather soul missiles, and a blue soul ball appeared above him. This soul ball was about the size of a marble. Because the soul missile ability is only Lv.1, this missile is not only small, but also has a very large tracking range. little.
But one thing is that this kind of soul ability with weak foundation generally has a high upper limit.
On the opposite side, Soul Guard, Thorny Girl, Ghost Hunter, Soul Mage, Black Steel Knight, and Soul Master looked at each other after seeing the Soul Missile condensed by Su Xiao. They looked calm, but there was excitement hidden in their eyes. .
The Soul Lord's eyes narrowed a little. According to his analysis, it hasn't been too long since the last fight in the Soul Arena. At that time, Su Xiao's Soul Strength was 590 points. Soul strength can reach 650 points, which is the limit.
Thinking about it this way, with the temporary skill slot and temporary skill points that 650 points can bring, it is basically impossible for the soul missile ability to exert its truly terrifying power, and only soul ability can be used here.
After thinking of this, the Lord of Soul suddenly felt that he might be able to win this time. If he wins, not only will he get extra generous rewards for guarding the gate, but he can also recover the cards that were hanged before. Thinking of this, the Lord of Soul has a face on his face. The mask of pain gradually disappeared, and the arrogance of the past returned a little.
The Soul Six looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they all saw two words: 'Beat him! ’
Of course Su Xiao didn't know the psychological activities of the Soul Six. After he mastered the Soul Missile, he also mastered the "Intermediate Boost", which greatly increased the maximum number of single agglomeration and the power of the Soul Missile. Soul energy consumption.
In order to make up for this problem, Su Xiao chose the high-level soul ability "Spiritual Energy Fountain".
[Soul Missile has been upgraded to Lv.95 (the highest level). 】
[Intermediate gain has been raised to Lv.0 (the highest level). 】
[The spiritual energy spring has been upgraded to Lv.10 (the highest level). 】
...
A total of 445 soul skill points are consumed. For Su Xiao, whose soul strength is as high as 859 points, this is not a problem at all. He initially has 460 soul skill points.
Su Xiao was well prepared. He looked at the soul master in front of him and found that these six people not only had strong fighting spirit, but their eyes were different from those just now. It seemed that they had a bit of arrogance when they first met?
Ten minutes of preparation time passed, the transparent barrier in front disappeared, and the Lord of Souls said:
"Miefa, don't say we are six-to-one despicable, little ones, give it to me..."
The Soul Lord shouted, and the giant black steel knight took the lead. He held a tower shield nearly 5 meters high in his left hand, and a long-handled warhammer in his right hand. The momentum of the charge was extremely terrifying, but in the next second, he came. He braked suddenly and almost fell to the ground.
Soul missiles flew above Su Xiao. Each of these soul missiles was as big as a grinding disc. There were hundreds of them in a single release.
This is not the end, with Su Xiao holding one hand, these hundreds of soul missiles are all compressed, compressed into black the size of marbles, and there is a humming sound.
A black soul ball swept out. Due to its own skill level and the bonus of full-level gain, this black soul ball flew extremely fast, and in an instant it reached the front of the black steel knight and hit his tower shield.
Boom! !
The center of the black steel knight's tower shield was sunken inward, and he flew backwards and slammed into the wall, followed by a few soul missiles, and after a few deafening roars, a large piece of broken armor flew out.
The walls of the surrounding hall collapsed, the battle terrain expanded, and it became an abandoned ruin. It could still be seen vaguely that the black steel knight was limping away to the distance.
After the Lord of Souls saw this scene, the corners of his eyes trembled fiercely. He turned to look at Su Xiao, his eyes were particularly dignified, Lord of his Souls, he would never run away today!
Su Xiao naturally didn't know the thoughts of the soul master. He just wanted to try these temporarily mastered soul abilities. He glanced at 90% of the soul energy left. Anyway, there is a "spiritual energy spring" to quickly restore the soul energy, so you might as well use a few more. Subsoul missile.
Su Xiao's soul energy was rapidly consumed, and soon, thousands of black soul appeared, and the compressed humming sound was particularly terrifying.
Su Xiao dragged a soul black ball with one hand. Under his control, all the soul black attacked the soul guard, the thorn woman, the ghost hunter, the soul mage, the black steel knight, and the soul master.
The Lord of Souls, who had just made up his mind not to escape, after giving himself and several surrounding subordinates a boost and speeding up, took off into the air and flew into the distance.
Su Xiao jumped to a towering stone pillar, and after looking at a few people fleeing in the distance, he took out the mysterious eye and adjusted it by clicking and clicking like a Rubik's cube.
As for the battle with the Soul Six, just wait. After the Soul Missile is raised to the limit, the tracking power is abnormal. After locking on the target, it will either hit the target or continue to chase and fly for more than an hour.
Su Xiao waited for nearly half an hour, the surrounding scene changed, the ruins gradually turned into smoke, and the scene reverted to the original hall, and the six-member group of souls with blue noses and bruised faces were lying or lying on the ground.
Su Xiao had long expected to be able to defeat the Soul Six, but for the sake of safety, he chose Soul Missile. After all, it was a pair of six, and it was an excellent choice not to give the enemy a chance.
[Hint: You have defeated the Lord of Souls. 】
[You get the Soul Candy recipe. 】
[Your temporary soul skill slot +1. 】
[You get a temporary soul skill reset permission. 】
...
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao knew that the original challenge of this level was to defeat the Lord of Soul, not everyone in the Soul Six.
The stone platform rose in front, and Su Xiao pressed the book of giving with one hand. First, he reset the authority to reset the "Soul Missile" and "Intermediate Gain". He mastered these two abilities, in fact, to try out After raising the "spiritual energy spring" to full level, what is the upper limit of its recovery.
The result is that "Spiritual Energy Fountain" can restore 10% of the soul energy per second. The strength of this temporarily endowed soul ability is simply unreasonable. Normally, there will be no such abnormal recovery ability. Yes, it is also at the cost of consuming body energy or life value to restore such soul energy, not the current situation, which continues to restore soul energy without consuming anything.
After knowing the upper limit of the strength of "Spiritual Energy Fountain", Su Xiao had the confidence to win the next two games. He scrolled down the skill list and finally mastered a method called "Death Embrace" with 19 soul skill slots. Ability.
【Death Embrace】
Effect: Use soul power to control any enemy target within 100 meters, consuming 5% soul energy every second until your own soul energy is exhausted.
Level: High-level soul ability.
Lethality: ★～★★★★★★★★ (with the increase of the controlled time, the power continues to increase).
Control time limit: -
Control strength: according to the user's soul strength.
Required skill slots: 19.
...
After mastering this high-level soul ability, Su Xiao filled it with the existing soul skill points. After consulting that the opponents in the next two games were all separate individuals, this ability was more secure.
Check the consumption of the full-level "Death Embrace" ability. It consumes 9.% of the soul energy per second. Under normal circumstances, it is to control the enemy for more than ten seconds, but with the abnormal recovery ability of "Spiritual Energy Fountain", Su Xiao can control the enemy to until death.
Su Xiao's right hand was raised, his palm was facing upwards, located dozens of meters away, the curved tower shield of the black steel knight flew up on its own. , and finally squeeze it down to the size of an apple.
Su Xiao released the control, and the apple-sized metal ball smashed to the ground with a bang. Because of its amazing density, the sound was particularly loud.
After seeing this scene, the Soul Lord suddenly felt that, as an old acquaintance, this extermination method was clearly showing mercy.
After this misunderstanding, the arrogance and resentment in the eyes of the Lord of Souls subsided a lot. He hesitated and said, "Miefa, the latter two are much better than us."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. He wondered why the Lord of Souls and the others seemed to be big and three, but they developed the recipe for soul candy. After hearing about it, the Thorns replied bluntly, it's not that they like to eat soul candy, but There is a regular source of customers, and I often go to them to order soul candy.
After learning about this, Su Xiao didn't ask deeply. He didn't plan to compete with Soul Arena for customers in this area. He wanted to know who the gatekeepers of the next two levels were.
In this regard, the Lord of Souls did not disclose the notarization rules, but only vaguely stated that both of them are very strong, but compared to these obstacles on the third floor, most of the challengers who came to the Watcher Tower were fallen. Lost in the seventh-floor apostle game.
Su Xiao walked towards the door leading to the third floor and the second level. After pushing open the giant door, the surrounding scene changed. This is an area similar to an underground space. Hanging down, the ends of the tentacles are about a few meters from the ground.
In the front, a figure dressed in a soul feather robe is floating three meters above the ground. It is in the shape of a human, but its eyes seem to contain vast stars. This is the star spirit guarding this place.
Xingling's eyes that seem to contain thousands of stars are looking down at Su Xiao. The feathers on its body are scattered with colorful light particles. The battle has already begun, but it still just floats there, as if disdain to take the lead.
Seeing this, Su Xiao grasped with one hand, and the squeezing force of "Death Embrace" sealed the Protoss tens of meters away in mid-air, and gradually increased the squeezing force.
"Death embrace, how long can it hold me."
Xingling still looked down at Su Xiao, and soon, more than ten seconds passed, the restraint of death hug did not disappear, but the squeeze became stronger and stronger.
All kinds of brilliance erupted with Protoss as the center, but it only expanded the bound area of ​​"Death Embrace", and soon, "Death Embrace" shrunk to the point where it began to squeeze Protoss' body.
"Wait...wait! We should fight head-on one-on-one. Doing so will not exercise your control over soul energy."
Su Xiao didn't know whether Protoss' body defense was hard or not, but the opponent's mouth was indeed hard. He tightened his grip with one hand, and "Death Embrace" began to burst out with the most terrifying squeezing force. There was a rattling sound all over the body.
"Lord Slayer, please spare your life."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a crisp sound, and the star spirit in the did not move. Seeing this, Su Xiao used his soul power to throw it aside, glanced at the prompt, and found that the rewards were all temporary soul skill points and temporary skills. After the trough, he was slightly disappointed, and he needed something that could bring out this place.
Push open the last door on the third floor. This place is also a great hall. A shadow is behind the fog of soul. The guardian of this pass is called the Immortal Elder. The strange thing is that the battle is about to start, but the fog of soul has not dissipated. .
"Alas, there is only one element guardian left in the past, which makes people sigh, how can I, my old bones, stop the magic destroyer from climbing this tower."
After the immortal elder in the fog of soul said this, he chose to abstain from the vote. He could only say that Jiang was still old and hot. After quietly witnessing that the star spirit was almost hammered to death, he resolutely chose to let it go. Send a personal favor.
As the immortal elder abstained, Su Xiao felt a sense of teleportation. In the next second, he appeared at the innermost side of the third floor. Sin Yas, Wood and others were also teleported here, and the road to the fourth floor was ahead. layer of metal spiral staircase.
[Hint: Your team has passed the Soul Winner Challenge, yes/no for the challenge reward settlement. 】
[The cumulative reward settlement has been selected, and the reward will be increased by 1.7 times for each round of challenge completed. 】
After ascending to the fourth floor, Su Xiao found that the place was very dark, with only the faint light from above, so that people would not be completely shrouded in darkness, but the surrounding darkness blocked perception.
At this moment, the faint light above suddenly disappeared.
[The fourth floor of the Tower Challenge has been opened. 】
[Content of this challenge: Darkness comes. 】
[Hint: You can pass this trial by attacking enemies in the dark three times in total. 】
...
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao pressed on the handle of the knife with one hand, just waiting for the enemy to appear, a note of 'Extreme Blade · World'.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the enemy in the dark did not appear, but the prompt appeared.
[Hint: Your team has passed the dark challenge, yes/no for the challenge reward settlement. 】
[The cumulative reward settlement has been selected, and the reward will be increased by 1.8 times for each round of challenge completed. 】
The darkness in the fourth floor quickly dissipated, and the sound of biting and chewing came. Su Xiao heard the sound and saw that the half-beast-like dark eater was pressing a monster made of dark matter to the ground, tearing and swallowing, This is much more delicious than the endless food challenge on the second floor.
And the monster on the fourth floor didn't move much at this moment. After being bitten off by the Dark Eater, it didn't move at all.
Obviously, this level has been passed. Although he did not attack the dark creature three times, the dark eater directly swallowed the opponent.
The center of the canopy opened, the metal spiral staircase descended with a click, and Su Xiao walked to the fifth floor.
After reaching the fifth floor, he entered a long corridor, which was several meters wide and tens of meters high, as if there was no end in sight. Stairs, just ahead.
In front of the spiral staircase, a bony figure in a black robe, a tattered hood, and a bony figure was standing in front of a balance scale. Everyone's unknown destiny.
[The fifth floor of the Tower Challenge has been opened. 】
[Content of this challenge: Destiny weight. 】
...
The conditions for passing this layer are very simple. As long as you step on the balance scale and the balance scale under your feet is not tilted up, it is considered to pass. The fog on the other end of the scale swallows up and is lost in that fog forever.
"Backing off when faced with difficulties is sometimes the wisest decision."
The old man beside the scale of fate grinned, revealing few teeth left.
Wood stepped forward and stepped on the scale support at one end of the canopy of destiny. Seeing this scene, the old man in black robe smiled even more strangely. This scale of destiny is not stepped on like this. At most, they will step on the same level, and it is impossible for others to pass, and they are all engulfed by the fog of fate.
Click! !
After a loud loud noise, the balance of destiny was crushed by Wood into two parts, and the fog of destiny immediately ran wild, sucking the damaged balance of destiny and the black-robed old man into the fog, which exposed the black-robed old man's hideousness and body. One eye appears.
Seeing the black-robed old man's true form revealed, Wood pulled up his cuffs, lifted a burning contract from his arm, and threw it at the black-robed old man. Before the other party was sucked into the mist, Wood said, "Don't think, Only you can become a contract master."
One eye fixed on Wood, unwilling to be sucked into the fog of fate.
[Hint: Your team has passed the Fate Weight Challenge, yes/no for the challenge reward settlement. 】
[The cumulative reward settlement has been selected, and the reward will be increased by 1.9 times for each round of challenge completed. 】
After walking down the metal spiral staircase to the sixth floor, there are various coins floating in the eye, including the paradise coins of the reincarnation paradise, and the soul coins, etc., continue to go deeper, an old square wooden table appears in front, A small figure with a loupe on his right eye and a large package beside the seat is sleeping soundly behind a wooden table.
The large package beside this person is full of scrolls, so many that they are about to burst.
[The sixth floor of the Tower Challenge has been opened. 】
[Content of this challenge: Trading. 】
[In the transaction with the profiteer of the big package, you can get a profit (even if you have a profit of 0.01 soul coins, you can pass this challenge). 】
...
Everyone looked at Caesar, Caesar took out the jar of the abyss and put it on his head, and took out all the three artifacts [Endless Greed], [Dirty Foot Bindings], [Deceptionist's Head Wraps], and then to the big package profiteers. go.
The big bag profiteer who was sleeping soundly behind the square table suddenly shuddered and woke up. When he saw Caesar approaching, he blinked. After confirming that he had read it correctly, an astonishing resentment erupted in his eyes. .
The gray fog wall appeared in front, blocking the sight of Su Xiao and others. After a full hour, the gray fog wall disappeared and the prompt appeared.
[Hint: Team member Nicholas Caesar has been disqualified from the challenge and sent back to the bottom of the Monitor Tower. 】
At this time, I went to see the big package profiteer. The big package that was about to explode beside the other party was completely shriveled, and was lying softly on the ground, while the big package profiteer himself had only old pants left on his body.
The big package profiteer stood there in a daze, and after reacting, he cursed in an unknown language, then ran to the metal spiral staircase leading to the lower floor, looking at his expression, it was clear that he was trying to find Caesar desperately.
Is Caesar eliminated? No, it was Caesar who fooled his opponent, leaving only a pair of bottoms, and now he has run away.
[Hint: Your team has passed the trading challenge, yes/no to settle the challenge reward. 】
[The cumulative reward settlement has been selected~EbookFREE.me~ Every time you complete a round of challenges, this reward will be doubled. 】
Follow the spiral staircase to the seventh floor. As soon as he entered this floor, Su Xiao heard the sound of soothing music. This is a gallery. The paintings on the walls on both sides are mostly all kinds of rare beasts. Gao, as if the bodies of these rare beasts were two-dimensionalized and printed on them.
[The seventh floor of the Tower Challenge has been opened. 】
[Content of this challenge: Apostle game. 】
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao's footsteps paused. The difficulty of the monitor tower is not completely determined by the level of layers. According to the Lord of Souls, the two-story challenge of the monitor tower is the most difficult to pass. One is the twelfth floor, and now the seventh floor, the Apostle Games.
Not only that, but one of Su Xiao's "Hunting List · Blood Pact" bounties this time should correspond to this apostle game.
"Bounty 4, Apostle's Game: Become the winner in the game with the Eyeless Apostle (100 ounces of time and space power have been paid to activate this bounty, after completing this bounty, 6000 ounces of time and space power will be obtained)." (To be completed continued.)
