Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

After Lord Kang gave the instructions, Xiao never received any notification to attend a meeting at the Lord's Mansion again. Instead, he was called to a meeting at the conference room of the arena a few days later. He didn't know most of the people who came to the meeting, but he found Yuyan and the other five in the crowd, and they greeted him warmly.

"The above is the plan for previous years' activities. Do you have any suggestions for improvement?" Qing Lan, the arena manager, put down the stack of papers in his hand and swept his eyes across the faces of all the participants.

The meeting room fell into an eerie silence, and no one stood up to speak at this time. He waited for a while, and the audience began to whisper, but still no one spoke. He frowned slightly, and just as he was about to say something, he received a message from his boss.

After a while, he spoke: "You can discuss it after you go back. Okay, let's adjourn the meeting."

The crowd staggered out of the conference room, and Qing Lan found Xiao at this time.

"The notice for the assessment has come down, you come with me."

……

When Xiao went to the arena for the first time after his return, everyone who knew him was shocked, especially Yuyan. She had prepared for the Saint level, but failed in the end, so when she knew that Xiao had broken through to the Saint level, she was more shocked than anyone else.

Because of his breakthrough in realm, Xiao was promoted from the intermediate division to the advanced division in the arena. This time, the official did not give him special care and let him quickly advance in rank, because his rank in the intermediate division was Supreme 6-star, and his initial rank after changing divisions was Diamond 1-star. He was basically matched with opponents at the mid- to late-stage Saint level, which was a high-difficulty start.

But despite this, he has never lost a match to this day, which leads to the fact that while other people's betting is about who will win, his betting is about how long the fight will last.

The news of Xiao's promotion was only known to some insiders, and the audience was unaware. Just as the audience in the intermediate division was waiting for the return of King Jinpeng, they heard that a ruthless person appeared in the next division, and his code name was also Jinpeng.

At first they thought that he was just a player riding on Jin Peng's popularity, but later someone went to the next door to take a look and found that this person was Jin Peng who had disappeared from the intermediate competition area for a long time. The audience was immediately excited. Since then, Jin Peng's reputation has skyrocketed, approaching the most popular player Yu Yan, and even has a tendency to surpass him.

The competition area for the ordinary competition has changed, and the weekend confrontation match must also be changed. Then the problem arises. There are no other saint-level players in the Licheng Arena, and the minimum requirement for the confrontation match is a two-person match.

After being called to so many meetings, Xiao also had a sense of crisis. The disaster was about to come, and while the days were still comfortable, he had to improve himself as much as possible, and Red Xiao was always urging him to improve his realm. There were only three ways to quickly improve the realm: encounters, taking drugs, and absorbing beast cores.

The first one depends a lot on luck. There is no news about any adventures so far, so the only option left to get it is metaphysics.

The second method would not be a problem if he was born in the fairyland, but he is in the mortal world, and the immortals have strict control over elixirs, especially those that can improve one's realm, so this method is also useless.

Finally, there is only the third method left, which is the beast core.

However, beast cores are not easy to get. Since he can only absorb one beast core in a short period of time, he has to try to find a good one, but high-quality beast cores are not so easy to get. Fortunately, the auction house is willing to help him and use the channels they have to search for the goods he needs.

Of course, all this is not free. Xiao needs to pay the spirit stones that represent the value of the beast core.

The value of the beast core is set by the Immortal Realm. People can exchange beast cores for spirit stones according to this rule, but they cannot exchange spirit stones for beast cores. The auction house's actions undoubtedly broke this rule, but as long as the people in the Immortal Realm don't know about it, there will be no problem.

At the same time, they also stipulated the starting price range of the beast core, and this price is far lower than its value. The final transaction price will be affected by many factors, and sometimes selling it may not be better than spending it.

For example, a one-star beast core worth 100 spirit stones can usually only be sold for a few dozen spirit stones. Another example is the seven-star beast core at the auction in Lincheng, which was originally worth 2.25 million, but was sold for 5 million spirit stones because it was relatively rare and Xiao raised the price.

At present, Xiao's spiritual stones are still not enough to exchange for an eight-star beast core, so the spiritual stone source channel of the competition is very important. Qing Lan submitted an application for a special team to the headquarters. After reading the materials he submitted, the headquarters decided to give Xiao a chance.

The so-called special team formation is to choose contracted beasts as teammates due to certain irresistible factors. Beastmen in the same realm are usually stronger than humans, and the magic circle is only applicable to humans. There is no definite research result on beasts, so the headquarters needs to judge this non-human teammate.

On the way to the test, Xiao casually glanced at the test site. Perhaps because Yuyan would be on the field next, many spectators in the stands were shouting her code name. Some of the voices reached Xiao's ears, and his eyes flickered.

Can the event be likened to a fan meeting? But if it's just like this, it feels like something is missing.

He quickly put his thoughts aside and the most important thing next was to pass the assessment.

……

"We are your examiners and also your next opponents. Now, please bring your special teammates to challenge us." The sturdy uncle said as he looked at the masked boy in front of him. He didn't say he had defeated him because he was an eight-star saint, the other examiner was also a seven-star saint, and this boy looked like he was only a one-star saint.

Xiao quietly looked at the two examiners, one male and one female. Suddenly, a furry little head popped up in the lower right corner of his sight. It was the wind sickle weasel that was originally clinging to the back of his neck. It ran onto his shoulder and was now rubbing his cheek.

He only has two contracted beasts. Chixing is a demon beast. According to the reputation of demon beasts in the mortal world, it should not show up, so he can only choose Wind Sickle Weasel.

"An eight-star Kaze Sickle Itachi? Interesting. Is this your choice?" The plump woman smiled, her eyes moving back and forth between Kaze Sickle Itachi and Xiao's faces.

Xiao nodded, thinking that since Red Xiao could beat two King-level monsters, and he himself was a little weaker, then he should have no problem beating two Saint-level monsters.

Red Xiao: "If you can't beat me, call me."

Xiao responded softly, scratched the chin of the wind sickle weasel with his hand, and said gently: "Go to a safe place."

The wind sickle weasel opened its squinting eyes, turned in a different direction, jumped off Xiao's shoulder, and ran farther and farther under the puzzled gazes of the two examiners.

"Start?" Xiao met their gaze.

"You want to challenge us alone?" The burly man raised his eyebrows. "We won't let you off just because of this."

"Let me see, is your name Jin Peng? What a young man full of vigor and vitality. If you say start, then let's start." said the plump woman.

"Sorry for the offense." The green spear was in hand, the green wind danced, and the eyes of the dark blue mask lit up with green fluorescence.

"Jing Yao Nuo Dance."

Xiao's figure disappeared instantly.

"This kid is really fast." The burly man looked serious and punched the ground.

Thick branches emerged from the ground and grew to a height of a hundred feet in an instant. The branches swayed as if they were fighting with something. Looking at the branches breaking and falling overhead, the plump woman said faintly, "And it can fly."

"No wonder my colleagues call this mission catching birds. Get up!" The veins on the sturdy man's body suddenly bulged, and the soil on the ground flowed like water, followed by a huge mud wave that broke the branches into pieces.

"Oh, you're destroying my territory again." The plump woman complained unhappily.

The dark brown object suddenly appeared in Xiao's sight, and then he felt the light dimming. He looked up and saw that the big mud was trying to lock him up. He flapped his wings and rushed out of the small gap in an instant.

This huge pile of mud hit nothing and soon died down, falling back to the ground, temporarily stopping moving.

My goodness, the earth attribute and the wood attribute are both biased towards defense and survival, what are they for?

Xiao looked down at the two people from high above, and for a moment he didn't know how to start.

"It's too high. I can't reach it." The sturdy man looked at the people around him helplessly, "Why didn't the headquarters send someone who can fly over here?"

"You still have to look at me." The plump woman waved her hand, and the branches that were scattered by the wind took root again, and stretched out new buds towards Xiao, but they were all cut off by him. The woman felt a little embarrassed.

"Why is the tip of his gun so sharp?" She curled her lips and said, "You won't be able to pass the test if you hide like this."

"You are so vicious." The burly man teased, and suddenly sensed something. He raised his eyes and saw a flash of green light coming in front of him.

There was a loud bang, and the residual force cut all the upright branches in half, and the green gun shadows all over the ground destroyed all the remaining parts of them.

Xiao flipped back out of the sandstorm, looking at his achievements with surprise in his eyes. He had just destroyed the two people's domains with a falling attack. When did he acquire this ability? Was it because he had broken through to the Saint level?

The plump woman also flew out of the smoke and dust. She had some scratches on her body, but after she wiped them with her hands, the wounds disappeared, and there was no trace at all. Finally, she looked at the remains of the branches around her, and was surprised for a while, and then her eyes were full of admiration.

"Ha!" The burly man jumped out of the dust. The stone armor on his arms had withstood Xiao's attack just now, and finally broke at this moment. He raised the giant hammer and smashed it towards Xiao.

Xiao felt his feet sink and he could hardly move. At this moment, several branches emerged and bound his body and limbs, and the last one even wrapped around his neck.

In the golden pupils, the brown hammer continued to grow larger. Before the attack landed, the ground had already cracked, and cracks spread from under his feet. He felt suffocated, not sure if it was because of the oncoming pressure or the branches at his neck.

……

Qing Lan was talking to someone and seemed to be in a good mood. Xiao sat aside, recalling the battle just now.

No one expected that at the last moment, the wind sickle weasel shot out a wind blade and actually cut off the branch that was tied to Xiao's neck. After taking a breath, he seemed to control the strong wind and the shadow of the gun to cut off other branches. After being free, he used the force to divert the man's attack to another place.

Anyway, every time the battle reached a fierce point, the movements were subconscious, without thinking, and there was a sense of beauty that the body was running in front and the brain was chasing behind. At first, he would be scared when he came to his senses, but now that he has experienced more things, he has been able to remain calm.

After suffering a loss, he became more cautious. One of his opponents had enough healing power, and he could heal himself back as long as he was not killed instantly. The other one was very strong, and he could not break his defense at first. Fortunately, they said they passed the test not long after the fight. It would take a lot of effort to really beat them both.

Seeing that Qing Lan had finished her conversation, he first made some noise to attract attention, and then spoke: "Manager Qing, I have an idea for that activity."
