Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 861 - 92: Suppression

[Release of Breath Lv.18 (Passive/Active)]

Skill Effect 1 (Active): Can release one’s aura at super speed, dealing 100 points + Willpower × 5 damage to enemies within 30 meters. This damage ignores armor/magic resistance/shield/equipment defense.

Hint: This skill has a cooldown period of 6 hours.

Hint: This skill has no consumption.

Skill Effect 2 (Passive): Can continuously release aura, range 30 meters (the range will increase as skill level increases). If the enemy’s Willpower is 2 points lower than ours, they will enter a state of fear, which can be dispelled using mind purification skills.

Hint: If the enemy enters a state of fear, Stamina consumption +27%, Body Defense -15, and there is an 8% chance of skill failure when casting.

Hint: As this skill increases, it will also increase aura intensity and slightly enhance Willpower.

Hint: Due to the absorption of a large amount of pure blood energy, Willpower +10.

Seeing the effects of Release of Breath, Su Xiao smiled. He finally has a wide-range undodgeable damage skill. Although Ring Break is also a wide-range damage ability with great power, its starting posture is too obvious, and its attack range is a ring-shaped horizontal cut.

Although the damage of Release of Breath does not match Ring Break, it is activated instantly and can weaken enemies, accelerate their Stamina consumption, reduce physical defense, and might even result in skill casting failure. In intense battles, skill failure is a very deadly mistake.

Su Xiao flipped through the Skill List; he has mastered many skills, but most are passive skills.

Passive skills include Sword Technique Master, Absolute Demon Physique, Heart’s Eye, Spirit Shadow Physique, Demon’s Mark, Meditation of Heart, Firearms Proficiency.

Active skills are relatively fewer, including: Blue Steel Shadow, Supreme Blade, Shave, Release of Breath.

The active skills used during battle are only Blue Steel Shadow, Shave, and the newly mastered Release of Breath. Though seemingly few, these three abilities can be combined into various combat styles.

The rest of the abilities are skills attached to equipment. When choosing equipment, Su Xiao always prefers passive types.

Too many active skills are not beneficial. He focuses on Sword Technique during combat, using other abilities for support, such as the newly mastered Release of Breath, which is excellent support for Sword Technique, especially in reducing enemy’s physical defense.

With the reduction in enemy’s physical defense, combined with Dragon Slash + Sword Technique Master’s attack power, each strike truly pierced flesh, with a few hits, the true damage + strike damage would surely render most enemies swiftly dead.

Furthermore, at the moment Release of Breath expands, enemies will suffer significant injuries and experience a brief moment of distraction, which is his best opportunity for a quick advancement.

Su Xiao actually desires a type of Flash Move skill, but these are mostly attached to bloodlines. Thus, he settles for quick advancement skills, specifically Shave.

Flash Move and quick advancement are not of the same level. If Su Xiao mastered a Flash Move skill, his combat strength would multiply.

However, Flash Move skills are beyond rare, with several known feasible methods, the most reliable being acquiring Er Zhuzi’s Rinnegan.

Given Su Xiao’s current strength, obtaining that eye is improbable. Better to wash up and sleep, especially considering whether Rinnegan would conflict with the Annihilation Law Profession is unknown, as Rinnegan is a bloodline.

After much contemplation, Su Xiao couldn’t find a method to procure a Flash Move skill.

Exiting the Skill Upgrade Hall, Su Xiao stretched lazily and walked towards his private room. Multiple excursions into the Ancient Battlefield had left him exhausted and in need of rest.

Upon returning to his private room, Su Xiao entered the sword practice room, ready to test the Release of Breath skill.

Su Xiao first sensed his own aura—after all, this was his first time using the Release of Breath active ability.

A faint red aura instantly spread, rendering the room silent enough to hear a pin drop. Dust particles in the air froze, and fine cracks appeared on the walls.

Su Xiao held a test tube in his hand. Given the attack intensity of Release of Breath, the test tube should have shattered, yet it remained intact due to his intentional control.

"The controllability is strong, and the speed almost impossible to dodge."

After experimenting with new abilities, Su Xiao lay on the bed and fell asleep.

...

Two days later, at Xia’s restaurant.

Bubu Wang’s mouth was stuffed with food, while Su Xiao leaned on a chair in a state of satiety, having overeaten. Xia’s culinary skills were increasingly excellent.

"You haven’t yet described the scenario of the War World? Quite a number seem to have died this time, as the number of newcomers in Reincarnation Paradise has visibly increased."

Xia sat alongside Su Xiao; she was a Worker and did not need to participate in the World Struggle War, making her curious about it.

"No idea how many died elsewhere, but in my world, counting enemy Contractors, roughly over a thousand Contractors perished."

Su Xiao spoke calmly, a cigarette tucked in his mouth.

"A... thousand thousand thousand Contractors?"

Hearing this number, Xia stuttered—it was explosive news for her.

"No wonder the value of goods has decreased lately; such severe casualties explain it. With so many Second Tier Contractors dead, the War World must have been brutal; sometimes being a salted fish has its perks."

Xia openly acknowledged her strength as being a salted fish; after all, in her view, unable to even beat Bubu Wang indicated her strength was not great.

"How long since you last entered the Derivative World?"

"Hmm~ over a month. Worker cycles into the world are about two months."

"Is that so, within the First Tier, your overall combat ability is pretty good."

Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke, having bettered Xia’s combat experience greatly through sparring with Bubu Wang, even if her attributes were unchanged.

"But speaking of which, Bai Ye, your combat strength should be high, at least middle-upper level in Second Tier, given the title of Night of Beheading."

Xia chuckled, having heard this nickname somewhere.

"Who knows, perhaps I’m top-level combat strength in Second Tier. I’m leaving."

Su Xiao rose to leave when Xia suddenly spoke.

"You really like chopping enemies ka-cha~"

Xia made a beheading gesture.

"That’s pure rumor."

Su Xiao and Bubu Wang left Xia’s restaurant, but as they walked, Su Xiao felt he’d forgotten something.

In the restaurant, Xia scratched her head, her smooth hair cascading down.

"Seems like I forgot something... Oh right! Didn’t pay!"

Xia hastily ran out of the restaurant, holding a spoon.

"Eating without paying, I’m operating on a small business margin, nearing bankruptcy."

Xia hesitated briefly, not contacting Su Xiao but opting to calculate it next time Su Xiao visits.

...

[Hunter’s stay in Reincarnation Paradise has reached the limit.]

[Soon returning to the real world; please remain mindful of Reincarnation Paradise guidelines.]

Upon seeing Reincarnation Paradise’s notification, Su Xiao immediately submitted an application to Reincarnation Paradise for a ’Breaking Body Limit’ task. This time, within Paradise, he didn’t visit the Arena, having remained in his private room researching something.

[Under review...]

[Review passed.]

[Hint: The Hunter’s physical attributes/passive skills will be suppressed, and five combat attributes will be suppressed to 5 points.]

[Suppressing...]

Rings of shackles appeared on Su Xiao’s arms, torso, and legs; as they manifested, a feeling of weakness swept over him, his five attributes suppressed to 5 points.

[Hint: All of Hunter’s passive skills suppressed to Lv.5 effect.]

In the real world, active skills are unusable, so Reincarnation Paradise only suppressed Su Xiao’s passive skills.

Su Xiao was not surprised by the suppression of passive skills. Even with suppressed attributes, the damage Sword Technique Master Lv.39 can deliver remains strong.

[Teleportation begins; destination: real world.]

[Hint: After returning to the real world, Hunter will receive a ’Breaking Body Limit’ task. Completing or abandoning this task will remove the suppression effect.]

[Hint: The ’Breaking Body Limit’ task may be issued up to three times. If all three fail or are abandoned, breaking the 80-point barrier will fail.]

[Determining... The Hunter’s ’Breaking Body Limit’ task duration is within 3–5 days, no extension of real-world stay necessary.]
