Su Xiao did not head straight to the Equipment Enhancement Hall. He stopped beside a park pond along the way. A Ξ mark stood in the pond, completely black and exuding both solemn majesty and chaotic disregard for all rules.
This was the mark of Dawn Paradise. Seeing it in the pond was not strange. Back then, the Reincarnation Paradise faction had invaded Dawn Paradise. After the battle ended, some of the high-tier Contractors who had survived by luck created this statue—not to commemorate Dawn, but to remember the close friends who had died beneath this mark.
Moreover, Reincarnation Paradise's rules contained no prohibition against mentioning Dawn Paradise's mark. Thus, this rather artistic statue appearing here was unsurprising. Besides, low- and mid-tier Contractors were unlikely to recognize it.
From far away, Su Xiao saw a large witch's hat approaching him. The hat was gray, and although it was made of soft cloth, its brim did not droop. It was the Undead Girl.
What puzzled him was that the Undead Girl's aura had already reached the absolute peak of the Transcendent level. She was famous for accumulating power. When she had been at the fifth rank, she had even suppressed more than forty world progressions before advancing. She had only decided to advance to the sixth rank because the world evaluation had resulted in negative returns.
Yet now, the Undead Girl had completely changed her former style and was rising extremely quickly. Her appearance and temperament had also changed greatly.
As an undead-type being, her skin had always been somewhat pale. At most, it had been an unhealthy, sickly white. Now, however, her skin was a cold, plain bluish white with a touch of ethereal beauty. The greatest change was in her eyes. White pupils were set in pitch-black eyes.
