147: Chapter 147 Silence or No Talk? Su Lingzhan Enforces the Law
However, as their reputation grew, fewer people began to sign up.
Because many people knew clearly that signing up to fight these three was a death sentence, so unless absolutely necessary, many would never come to the Hell Slaughter Arena to sign up.
Some would rather hand over yellow spring dew to hide in the outer city than come to the inner city.
Of course, there were still some who didn't fear death, as well as those who hadn't been in Slaughter City for long.
It was only then that Su Ling understood why it took people years to leave Slaughter City.
Actually, this was part of the reason, but if one was deeply poisoned by the toxins in the yellow spring dew and lost the ability to think normally, it was possible they might lose their heads and sign up for the Hell Slaughter Arena.
Even though the three of them waited at the Hell Slaughter Arena every day, they could complete at most one or two matches, and sometimes the number of slaughter matches was zero.
Moreover, most of those who came to sign up were newly arrived Spirit Masters.
Therefore, in the past month, their winning streaks were as follows: Su Ling had sixty-five consecutive wins, Liu Erlong had sixty-six, and Hu Liena had forty-three.
Hu Liena was not like Su Ling and Liu Erlong; her number of registered matches was relatively conservative.
Furthermore, every time she signed up, it was calculated. For her, the greatest advantage lay in Charm, since Spirit Abilities could not be used.
Her Mental Energy-type head Spirit Bone and external Spirit Bone both brought her advantages.
What she feared most were Spirit Masters with powerful Mental Energy who could easily break free from her Charm control, as her Mental Energy was only at the Spirit Saint level and not top-tier.
Fortunately, this month Su Ling had taught her a movement technique, Carefree Travel Cloud Steps, which, after she mastered the basics, combined with her Charm control and a dagger that could cut iron like mud, made it effortless to reap heads.
The combination of the three made harvesting heads simply too easy.
And because of this movement technique, Hu Liena's affinity increased by five points directly, and with the one point of daily affinity increase, Hu Liena's affinity was now at seventy-six points.
The six points of affinity also brought Su Ling three yellow chests and two purple chests.
Within the High-Level Protection Array, the three maintained a regular routine, with three meals a day, never missing one.
After eating breakfast, Liu Erlong and Hu Liena tidied up the bowls and chopsticks and prepared to go to the Hell Slaughter Arena together.
"Sister Liu, Nana, let's wait a little longer!" Su Ling said.
"Su Ling, is something the matter?" Liu Erlong asked.
Su Ling said: "Recently, the number of people participating in the Hell Slaughter Arena has decreased, and it's not enough for us to kill. Moreover, you two have been slaughtering constantly, and neither of you has been able to perfectly control the Killing Intent within your bodies."
"Su Ling, what do you mean?" Hu Liena looked at Su Ling curiously.
"Let's wait a bit longer. We have only been in Slaughter City for six months. Don't be so anxious. Take it one step at a time. First, perfectly control the Killing Intent, and strive to ensure that when we leave Slaughter City, we won't be troubled by excessive Killing Intent."
Su Ling had no problem controlling the Killing Intent. Liu Erlong and Hu Liena were not exactly kind people on the continent; having been raised by Spirit Hall from a young age, how could they have few killings on their hands?
"Su Ling, what you say makes some sense. But what about you? How have you never been affected by the Killing Intent?" Liu Erlong looked at Su Ling with curiosity.
Su Ling smiled and said: "My Soul Power is special and has a natural suppression effect on Killing Intent. Plus, my Mental Energy is very high, so the Killing Intent within me has always been within my control."
"I see!"
"Then we will listen to you and wait a while longer." Liu Erlong said.
Su Ling then looked at Hu Liena and continued: "Nana, your Soul Power is stuck at level 64, which is still dangerous in Slaughter City. Try to reach level 70 as soon as possible, and then I will find you a suitable ten-thousand-year spirit ring."
"Level 70?" Hu Liena was stunned. How could reaching level 70 be easy?
The more Medicinal Pill she took, the smaller the effect would become.
A few more Medicinal Pills might help her reach level 65 or 66, but that was the limit of what this type of Medicinal Pill could improve.
Besides, how could there be so many of such precious Medicinal Pills? Taking them like this would be a bit too wasteful.
Su Ling said: "With me here, don't worry!"
"You control the Killing Intent first, and then I will help you improve."
"Mm!" Hu Liena nodded, but her affinity did not increase.
"Su Ling, if we are all staying home, what about you, Su Ling?" Liu Erlong asked.
Su Ling smiled and said: "Naturally, I'm going to the Hell Slaughter Arena to fight!"
"Alright then, be careful!" Liu Erlong said.
Regarding safety, Liu Erlong actually didn't worry about Su Ling.
Even with ten or twenty more people, it was a minor issue. After all, Su Ling had fought over sixty matches so far without even using his Spirit.
He had achieved victory very easily every time!
After stepping out of the residence, Su Ling looked at the System panel and said: "System, open a red chest."
[Ding... Opened a red chest. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Glorious Sword Art*1]
Damn, I wanted to get an immortal herb to increase Nana's Soul Power, why did I get this?
Wait, no, it seems I can use this sword technique.
The Skill of Light Sword brought by Qian Renxue allowed him to condense one, and it also came with the effect of Judgment.
And this Light Sword could be used continuously after being released, for example, like the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.
Combined with a set of light-attribute sword techniques, it's perfect.
Looking at the System panel again.
[Glorious Sword Art: A light-attribute sword technique. The user needs to have light-attribute Soul Power. This sword technique consists of nine moves, each with different power and effects. This time, it can be directly infused to allow the Host to enter the Major Achievement stage directly.]
After carefully reading the introduction, hesitating for even a second would be a sign of disrespect to this sword technique.
"System, infuse it for me!"
[Ding... Infusion requires 10 minutes, and the Host's body cannot move. Do you want to infuse it now?]
"Uh, then let's wait a bit."
At this moment, Su Ling had already walked out of the High-Level Protection Array. If he were to infuse it now, ten minutes would be enough to die ten times over.
Although the Spirit Masters in Slaughter City might not dare to make a move, Su Ling would not gamble with his life.
While walking, Su Ling continued to open the second red chest.
[Ding... Opened a red chest. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Dew of Looking Through Autumn Water*1]
This immortal herb could be used by Hu Liena, but its effect was more focused on Mental Energy, which was not what was most needed at the moment.
"System, continue, open another one."
[Ding... Opened a red chest. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining eight-petal immortal orchid*1]
This immortal herb was still usable.
The eight-petal immortal orchid had a gentle medicinal effect, consolidating the foundation and strengthening the origin, so it was fine.
Let's go with this one!
Before long, Su Ling arrived at the Hell Slaughter Arena again, handed in a cup of yellow spring dew to sign up, and successfully entered the venue.
When the people in front saw that it was Su Ling who had arrived, several of them were numb.
After waiting for about the time it takes to burn two incense sticks, they finally gathered ten people.
Then the battle began. The nine people attacked Su Ling together, and the result was obvious: all nine died, and Su Ling achieved his sixty-sixth victory, the same as Liu Erlong.
Absorbing Killing Intent, collecting trophies, and then leaving the Hell Slaughter Arena, all done in one go.
Leaving the Hell Slaughter Arena, Su Ling did not wander around Slaughter City anymore and headed straight back.
But just less than a kilometer away from the Hell Slaughter Arena, a middle-aged man blocked Su Ling's path.
Su Ling recognized this person; he was Kate, the Deputy Captain of the Enforcement Team of Slaughter City.
However, today Kate was not wearing knight's attire but the ordinary Enforcement Team uniform.
When Su Ling approached to within five meters of him, Kate spoke: "Number 8225, you have achieved over fifty consecutive victories, and your Soul Power has reached over level 80. You are a Spirit Douluo and are qualified to become a member of our Enforcement Team."
"And 8226, he has also met the conditions and can join the Enforcement Team with you."
Su Ling just responded directly: "Sorry, I'm not interested."
Then, without stopping his pace, he walked straight past Kate.
"Number 8225, you had better think carefully. As long as you can become a member of the Slaughter City Enforcement Team and gain the recognition of the Slaughter King, you will be able to use Spirit Abilities in Slaughter City."
"Even when you reach level 90, our great Slaughter King will bestow a spirit ring upon you. When our captain reached level 90 over thirty years ago, he received this bestowal and successfully advanced to a Titled Douluo." Kate continued.
However, Su Ling kept walking, paying no attention to Kate behind him.
Having said so much, Su Ling was completely unmoved, and his attitude was truly arrogant.
"Number 8225, I will say this one last time. If you want to live, the only way is to join our Enforcement Team. Do you think just anyone can become a Slaughter God? Don't dream about getting one hundred wins." Kate said.
Su Ling stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said: "A hundred wins is not difficult for me. It's just the Hell Road, right? I'll know once I pass through it."
Kate sneered and then said: "You are too naive. Slaughter City has produced three Slaughter Gods in recent years, and Slaughter City will... Never mind, you just need to know that Slaughter City does not allow another Slaughter God to be born now; it is absolutely forbidden."
"I will remind you one last time; the only way you can live is to join my Enforcement Team."
Su Ling said: "It's the Slaughter King who doesn't allow it, right? The Slaughter King cannot break the rules of Slaughter City either, after all, these rules were not set by him."
After saying this, Su Ling turned around and left again. Kate's Face turned livid; this Su Ling before him was simply impervious to reason and gave no Face at all.
Thinking of the Enforcement Team captain's orders, Kate seemed to have made a decision.
"Number 8225, you actually openly attacked a member of the Enforcement Team, damn you!" After Kate finished speaking, he actually released his Spirit directly.
They dared not touch those sent in by the Slaughter God, but for Spirit Masters like Su Ling who were forced or voluntarily came in for training, killing them was just killing them.
After all, what Slaughter City feared were those two Slaughter Gods outside; they didn't fear anyone else at all.
With his Spirit released, Kate had level 89 Soul Power, and his Spirit was a giant exploding flame sword.
Su Ling flashed away and immediately ran out.
"Want to escape? No way."
Kate had finally seized the opportunity when he encountered Su Ling acting alone.
If he could persuade him, that was best; if it really didn't work, he would just find a reason to kill him.
Kate released his Spirit Ability and quickly followed Su Ling.
"8225, do you know that every member of our Enforcement Team has achieved over fifty victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena? Today is your death day."
Kate's speed was indeed very fast, and just as Su Ling was fleeing, two more Enforcement Team members rushed out from the left and right.
Both of them were also Spirit Douluo-level Spirit Masters, seemingly intending to block Su Ling.
One of them was a control system Spirit Master; a silver whip was her Spirit. She then released her Spirit Ability, which turned into several whips, trying to Binding Su Ling.
There was another Enforcement Team member who also released a Spirit Ability, attacking Su Ling. Two were besieging him, and one was controlling him.
Everyone could use Spirit Abilities. Three people simultaneously dealing with a Spirit Master who couldn't use Spirit Abilities—the advantage was simply too great.
Su Ling had read the novel. The current Slaughter King didn't want anyone to pass through Slaughter City at all. The reason he let Tang San and Hu Liena pass was because of the two Slaughter Gods, Tang Hao and Bibi Dong.
It was precisely because of these two Slaughter Gods that the Slaughter King could only use the rules of Slaughter City to prevent the two from reaching a hundred wins in the Hell Slaughter Arena.
But when facing Su Ling, there was no need to consider so much; those rules didn't need to be cared about at all!
With one excuse from the Enforcement Team, they could kill anyone in Slaughter City.
"You can't escape!" Kate shouted.
However, just when that silver whip was about to Binding Su Ling, in the next instant, Su Ling disappeared from in front of the three of them.
"Where is he?"
"This is Teleportation, impossible, how could this guy use a Spirit Ability? Could it be a Spirit Bone skill?" Speaking of this, a look of greed appeared on Kate's Face.
And the next moment, an arrow came through the air.
"Watch out!" Kate reminded the subordinate beside him, but in front of him, there was also an arrow coming.
Three people, three arrows.
Su Ling, now with level 88 Soul Power, condensed three arrows, accompanied by high-speed rotation.
As his Soul Power increased, the attack power of the arrows would be greater, and he could control the rotation speed of the arrows even faster.
It was at this moment that Su Ling immediately used a skill, accelerating the arrows by forty percent.
Originally, the three of them would have had time to barely defend or dodge, but this instantaneous acceleration left them with no time to react, and the arrows pierced through their bodies.
Watching the three of them fall to the ground, Su Ling couldn't help but sigh; the power of terminal acceleration was truly formidable.
It seems that after getting out, he needs to farm Bai Chenxiang's affinity more. Currently, Bai Chenxiang is at eighty-one points; reaching ninety, ninety-six, and one hundred can still increase it three times.
After the three fell to the ground, Su Ling did not appear immediately.
And the moment he appeared, his clothes had already been changed, and he was wearing the thousand illusion mask.
Two were already dead; this Kate actually still had a breath left and was alive.
"Who on earth are you? There is no one as powerful as you in Slaughter City!"
"So much damn talking!" Su Ling said in a low voice, then swung an attack with one hand, hitting him. With that, all three Spirit Douluos were dead.
At this time, some people had gathered around, witnessing Su Ling killing the Enforcement Team Deputy Captain, Kate.
Three Enforcement Team members, each with considerable wealth, yet no one dared to take a step forward at this moment.
Before long, Su Ling collected seven space spirit tools. One had to admit that these three were indeed quite wealthy.
Besides the space spirit tools, he also retrieved four Spirit Bones from the two ordinary Enforcement Team members, and from the one called Kate, he retrieved three more Spirit Bones.
Slaughter City had existed for so many years, and good things had more or less ended up in the hands of the Enforcement Team members.
Su Ling put all the loot into the System space.
Three Enforcement Team members had died, so Slaughter City would definitely take further action. This was the reason why Su Ling had disguised himself just now; stalling for a while was better than nothing.
Putting away everything, Su Ling left the scene!
About the time it takes to burn one incense stick later, a group of people from the Enforcement Team arrived.
The leader was an old man who looked to be seventy or eighty years old. He was also the Enforcement Team Captain, Laris, and the only Titled Douluo besides the Slaughter King, with Soul Power that had already reached level 94.
Laris looked at the three dead team members on the ground and said furiously: "Good, very good. Daring to touch my Enforcement Team's people, how bold. Everyone, investigate immediately. I will definitely tear him into pieces, eat his flesh, and drink all his blood."
