With Su Xiao's winning streak, after he defeated the twelfth-ranked fighter, his ranking directly bumped the original eleventh place down, making that person the new twelfth.
That man was clearly unwilling to accept it. He had dropped to twelfth place without even fighting an opponent. It had taken him thirteen worlds' worth of battles to reach his current ranking, so anyone would have felt disgruntled.
Su Xiao chose to decline the challenge. His ranking slid to twelfth, and he also received a message notarized by the Arena. It read:
"Not going to fight, friend? Get some rest, then let's spar."
The message was from a contractor affiliated with Apocalypse Paradise. After Su Xiao replied, "I'm busy," he left the Arena.
As he walked along a stone road in Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao formed a rough judgment of his own strength.
If he were in peak condition, he would have no problem breaking into the Arena's top three. After all, the former twelfth-place fighter's strength was right there. The few ranks above him were certainly stronger, but the gap wouldn't be too great.
As for whether he could defeat Sea God Saint One, the strongest fighter in the fifth-rank Arena, Su Xiao wasn't sure yet. But his current strength was definitely among the top tier of the fifth rank.
The rewards from the War World had been far too generous, directly elevating Su Xiao from the first tier of the fifth rank to the very top.
Without the gains from the War World, he could have reached only around twentieth to thirtieth place in the Arena before getting stuck.
Su Xiao didn't return to his Exclusive Room for the time being. Instead, he went straight to Reid's smithy to maintain his weapons and equipment and have Reid reforge the Fire Blade
