Introduction: Never drink it, although it provides a powerful buff effect of Power, Agility, and Stamina +15, the user will die within thirty seconds.
...
Su Xiao looked at the Dragon Power Potion in his hand, this can be used three times, just apply it to the back of the hand.
This thing has a characteristic, if drank directly, it will cause death within thirty seconds, even an immortal cannot save you. Within those thirty seconds, it provides a powerful buff of +15 to three attributes.
This thing has two uses, it can be used as a buff in normal times or to perish together with the enemy in a desperate situation.
A smile appeared on Su Xiao’s face; if he ever faced a fatal situation, he would definitely drink this. Even in death, he wouldn’t let his enemy have it easy.
[Hint: Alchemy Biology is not yet unlocked.]
[To unlock Alchemy Biology, Alchemical Potion Study must reach Lv.10 (achieved), and Soul Crystal (Small) ×2 + 30,000 Paradise coins must be paid.]
Alchemy Biology should be the layer with the most combat potential in Alchemy, able to evolve careers similar to a Summoner. The Minotaur Lord seen before in the World of Crimson was a product of Alchemy Biology.
Unfortunately, Su Xiao’s purpose for learning Alchemy was to save Paradise coins, as "Special level Alchemy Bombs" and "Special level Alchemy Elixirs" already solved this issue.
Even if Alchemy Biology is unlocked, the initial creatures created would be cannon fodder. To create powerful creatures would require a considerable investment, and resources allocated to sword techniques would be more beneficial.
Su Xiao has no intention of further increasing his study of alchemy; making special-grade bombs and potions for personal use or sale is sufficient.
He plans to manufacture one Sun God Apollo in the future, to bloom in its final glory, though a cruder way to put it is: give the enemy a surprise when things go south.
"Wu~."
A whimper came from beside him, causing Su Xiao to be taken aback.
Turning his head to look at the bed, Bubu Wang was sleeping soundly. For some reason, this creature was letting out a whimper.
Su Xiao frowned, then thought of something. Bubu Wang might be having a nightmare.
"Hey~, wake up, it’s broad daylight for crying out loud."
Tear-eyed, Bubu Wang woke up, initially confused, then its dog face embarrassed. It dreamed of being pursued by at least a 450-sized giant slipper~.
After giving Bubu Wang a bone, the shadow of the nightmare was washed away.
Su Xiao picked up the Dragon Slash beside him, and unsheathed it.
A glint flashed, and the surface of Dragon Slash was notably smoother, the new scabbard seems effective.
Holding the Dragon Slash, Su Xiao stood on an open space in his exclusive room and began his daily sword practice.
He had this feeling for a while, since learning the truth, it felt like his heart was set free, and his sword technique had improved, but he had been too busy to recall that feeling.
Su Xiao’s speed in wielding the sword increased, the cold glint radiated, creating a forbidden zone within two meters of him.
A hair of Bubu Wang floated near Su Xiao, and the hair was cut into pieces.
The speed of Su Xiao’s sword-play increased, and sweat began to seep from his body.
"Bubu, go play outside."
With Bubu nearby, he couldn’t fully unleash his deadly force.
Giving Bubu Wang 1000 Paradise coins as pocket money, Bubu Wang joyfully ran out of the exclusive room, likely to buy some snacks.
Inside Reincarnation Paradise is very safe, Bubu Wang is Su Xiao’s servant and can sense Su Xiao’s location, so there’s no worry about getting lost, although Bubu Wang often shows silliness, it doesn’t have the ’free-range’ passive skill.
After Bubu Wang left, Su Xiao didn’t have to worry about the surroundings.
The room’s furniture was cleaved apart as blade auras flashed.
In fact, Su Xiao should go to the Trial Field, but such realizations are fleeting, and he didn’t want to interrupt it.
Zheng!
The pale blue blade aura slashed out, leaving a deep scar on the ceiling.
As Su Xiao swung the sword, a storm of blade aura brewed in the exclusive room, obliterating nearby objects.
The more Su Xiao wielded the sword, the more invigorated he felt, a sensation he had never experienced before. It had something to do with his previous state of mind.
Practicing swordsmanship is a process of honing heart, body, and will. His previous desire for revenge couldn’t sharpen them, dragging down his swordsmanship’s progression.
Everyone has their talents; some excel at making things, others are brilliant strategists as cunning as foxes, and some are innate leaders.
Su Xiao possesses none of these talents. Despite often planning and strategizing, his plans are simplistic and brutal, meant to maximize his martial prowess.
He never blindly believes his strategies are ingenious; they succeed because he is strong enough.
Since he lacks talent in scheming, he compensates with sheer force.
Appropriate cunning paired with formidable force; that is Su Xiao’s way of survival.
Though he lacks the aforementioned talents, he does possess another—an innate talent for wielding a sword.
Zheng!
The blade aura crisscrossed, severing surrounding objects.
Su Xiao stopped swinging the sword; though he hadn’t been wielding it long, he was drenched in sweat, feeling invigorated.
Letting out a deep breath, Su Xiao looked around; the area was in shambles. None of the furniture remained intact, and the relentlessly tormented sofa had sacrificed itself, being cut into three pieces.
[The Hunter has finished realizing the sword technique and gained an enhancement.]
Su Xiao wasn’t surprised by the notification and casually swung a slash forward.
Zheng.
A pale blue blade aura detached from the edge of Dragon Slash, slicing the wall.
The blade aura does not consume Mana, but Stamina Value.
Despite his high physical attributes, Su Xiao couldn’t recklessly consume his stamina. Stamina and Life Value are distinct. Exhausting stamina leads to fatigue; depleting life value leads to death.
The two are somewhat connected; consuming life value simultaneously depletes stamina.
Examining the blade aura’s destruction, Su Xiao nodded in satisfaction. Though not as strong as close-range slashes, it wasn’t weak.
The shaving of the Dragon Slash’s sharpness inherited by the blade aura slightly depends on Su Xiao’s sword skill level.
Checking Sword Technique Mastery, Su Xiao was pleased—it exceeded his expectations.
[Sword Technique Master: LV.21. (Passive)]

Level 10 Additional Ability
Rule of All Things (High Level): This ability cannot be enhanced within Reincarnation Paradise, only realized by the Hunter’s personal insight.

Enhance Conditions: To enhance Sword Technique Master, require Soul Crystal (Medium) ×10, 50,000 Paradise coins.
...
Perhaps due to the Blue Steel Shadow energy, the blade aura Su Xiao emanated was pale blue.
The blade aura has significant development potential, yet Su Xiao hasn’t seen any related skills. Developing them would require personal creativity.
While Su Xiao was examining the blade aura, the room door opened. Carrying several bags, Bubu Wang stood at the entrance. Among the bags, one contained cigarettes, or rather snacks.
Bubu Wang stood confounded by the scene, dropping the bags from its mouth, worshipfully gazing at Su Xiao, as if saying: ’No wonder you’re my master, even your hobby of breaking things is more thorough than mine.’
Ignoring Bubu Wang, Su Xiao spent 600 Paradise coins to replace the furniture.
With a significant improvement in swordsmanship, Su Xiao lay on the newly acquired large bed and fell asleep, as the sword practice had consumed much of his stamina.
At 7 AM the next morning, after freshening up, Su Xiao left the exclusive room with Bubu Wang. He was heading to an auction, where he might encounter some ’old friends’, although those ’old friends’ almost met their end at his hands.
