Free Web NovelChapter 1285: Chapter 100: The Most Disgusting Opponent
"Matcha, don’t side with outsiders."
The Divine Emperor couldn’t stand it anymore; who cheers against their own team?
"He always bullies me; just look at the last open-world mission. That damn fox hung me up on his scythe, claiming to protect my personal safety. Am I an ornament?!"
"He did it for your own good."
The Divine Emperor comforted Matcha, recalling the last world scenario, which still made him want to laugh.
"Protect me? The fight hadn’t even started, and he tossed me into a mud ditch. By the end, I was almost buried. Leader, can’t you see..."
Matcha began to rant about Crazy Fox, inching toward the Divine Emperor, who found it quite helpless since she was a delicate healer and the team’s cherished primary healer, whom everyone adored. Only Crazy Fox treated her like an ornament.
"And you, instead of learning good things, you learned to swing a scythe like that damn fox..."
Matcha turned her ’criticism’ toward the Crazy Healer. The Crazy Healer’s lips moved, but even ten of him couldn’t out-talk Matcha.
"So, Bai Ye, go for it! Cut him down!"
Matcha sat down angrily, her chest heaving but remaining relatively calm.
Off the field, Crazy Fox, with a legendary war scythe, looked helpless.
"Congratulations on defeating Huang Yan. His flames are really troublesome. The arena limits his power somewhat, but his strongest feature is burning enemies from the inside with flames. Many strong fighters have died with regret."
Crazy Fox wore black and white clothes with a fur hood, and above the hood was a fox’s head, perhaps where his name came from.
"Indeed."
When Su Xiao fought Huang Yan, he discovered that after being burned by his flames, he endured seven types of debuff states. His life value decreased like flowing water, and these abnormal states grew stronger over time, with increasing durations.
"Well, let’s begin. Even though you’re on good terms with our Adventure group, I won’t hold back."
Crazy Fox flipped his war scythe in his hand, letting it clang against the ground, scattering stone fragments.
"Don’t say I’m shameless; this is how I fight."
Crazy Fox gave a ’mysterious’ smile, a golden light flashed in his hand, and initially, Su Xiao didn’t understand Crazy Fox’s meaning, but he soon did.
The match began, and just as Su Xiao charged toward Crazy Fox, a pulse of golden energy surged at him, creating a strong push.
The Dragon Slaying Thrust in Su Xiao’s hand pierced into the ground as he gazed at Crazy Fox, whose ring emitted layers of pulses, blocking his advance.
Su Xiao was held back, while Crazy Fox busily prepared.
"Divine Protection."
"War Enhancement."
"War Enhancement Double Layer."
"Weapon Amplification."
"Soul Shout."
"Purification."
"Super Purification."
"God’s Will."
"Demon Retreat."
...
According to Su Xiao’s estimates, in just five seconds, Crazy Fox had applied more than 30 buff states to himself. Worse still, he took advantage of the high-pressure pulse from the legendary ring to apply three debuff states to Su Xiao: reduced speed, increased air resistance, and accelerated stamina loss.
When Crazy Fox finished buffing, he literally sparkled. Among those buff states, at least five continuously restored life value, and one could replenish mana value. Buffs that enhanced defense or speed were even more abundant.
If Crazy Fox’s combat strength was 8 before, after all the buffs, it increased to at least 70.
"Let’s start."
Crazy Fox spun his war scythe fiercely, and the initial impact ceased.
Su Xiao quickly rushed forward, swinging his long knife horizontally...
After a full seven hours, only Crazy Healer and Bubu Wang remained in the audience, each holding a smartphone as if playing an online game.
"Quick, this boss is about to falter, beautiful!"
Crazy Healer focused intently on the phone. As for the battle on the field, forget about it; watching for five hours nearly put him to sleep. It’s not that the fight wasn’t intense; both fighters had tremendous attack abilities and enduring stamina.
On the field, Su Xiao crouched on the ground, covered in slash marks and panting heavily. Not far away, Crazy Fox looked similar but with slightly deeper wounds.
Since entering Reincarnation Paradise, Crazy Fox was the most irritating opponent Su Xiao had encountered. Capable of fighting, healing, and tanking, this guy seemed capable of everything except having babies.
Crazy Fox also felt helpless; his pride in his mana recovery had failed him. But he was surprised to find that when mana was depleted, that blue energy posed no threat.
Whenever his mana value recovered to a certain level, Crazy Fox would immediately apply a recovery state to himself, while Su Xiao used Dragon Slash’s life energy absorption ability to restore his life value, allowing the fight to continue for so long.
Dragon Slash couldn’t break the legendary war scythe, nor could the legendary war scythe overcome the golden growth weapon Dragon Slash, leading to a stalemate.
By the end, Su Xiao’s stay in Reincarnation Paradise was nearing its limit, which would result in a ruling in favor of Crazy Fox.
Given the current situation, it seemed they could fight for several more hours without resolution.
Su Xiao spat out blood-tinged saliva, eyeing Crazy Fox. Now, with his mana depleted, he couldn’t activate the Blue Steel Shadow energy.
The good news was that the active effect of the Spirit of Wood would be ready in over two hours. He never imagined using it twice in one fight.
The grappling continued until Crazy Healer in the audience couldn’t take it, leaving only the sound asleep Bubu Wang.
Su Xiao’s Dragon Slash pressed against Crazy Fox’s war scythe. Compared to when the fight started, both looked ready to collapse at any moment.
At that moment, the Spirit of Wood’s cooldown ended, and Su Xiao prepared to strike.
Seeing this familiar posture, Crazy Fox’s eye twitched.
The whimper of a breaking wind approached, and as Su Xiao activated the Spirit of Wood, Crazy Fox vanished. He knew he couldn’t withstand a second kick.
Su Xiao’s foot struck empty space, and he stumbled forward several steps before regaining his balance.
[Announcement (Third Tier): There has been a change in the top spot in the Third-tier Arena.]
At this moment, all third-tier contractors and workers received the same notification, announcing a change in the top of the third-tier arena.
...
In an opulent lounge, Su Xiao reclined on a sofa, not wanting to move a finger.
[You have become the top of the Third-tier Arena.]
[You received 3 attribute points, totaling 25 points.]
[Glory of victory (Mark) will be upgraded to an arena-exclusive title.]

Seeing the three abilities of the ’A Good Fighter’ title, Su Xiao smiled. His next plan was simple: collect on debts, return to the real world for some rest, and gear up for the new world’s ascension assessment.
