Clearly, Mo Neng exploited this loophole in the rules.
Under Tang Dao's tutelage, Ye Lai now understands these things very well.
However, what Mo Neng definitely doesn't want is a spot in the subsequent competitions, because he already has a spot in Gaoxin City. What he really wants is a seeded player in the top ten of Hongshan City.
Because the top ten seeded players will have the right to choose one item from the local city's treasure vault.
I will eliminate him soon.
Ye Lai said to Tan Xiaoyun.
"No need. He's at Tier 3, and we're only Tier 2. We just need to make it into the top 100!"
Tan Xiaoyun said shyly.
On the ground, a huge white vortex appeared.
That's the venue leading to the Ace Tournament.
The competition between extraordinary individuals must take place in a bizarre world.
Ye Lai leaped up and jumped into the white vortex.
This was followed by a large group of people jumping.
Unseen by anyone, a person secretly appeared in the square and slipped something to another person.
They left immediately after seeing the nine leaders of Hongshan City appear.
The nine leaders, headed by Tang Dao, stood around the white vortex, as if they were sitting at a round table in a conference room.
A sky net appeared in the sky, and nine beams of light fell from the sky, landing on the nine leaders. Then, another huge beam of light fell, hitting the center of the white vortex.
Next, a series of images appeared, each representing a contestant with extraordinary abilities.
This qualifying round is safe.
Nine supervisors will operate Skynet together to observe the situation of each contestant. When a contestant encounters a crisis that the supervisors determine to be fatal, they will be teleported out.
Meanwhile, those who did not participate in the competition could also watch the movements of each participant in real time through the SkyNet system.
...
"This is a blood-red island that has been completely corrupted by the bizarre."
"There are no humans left, and even the soil is no longer suitable for human survival."
"The eeriness is everywhere on the island, and it will attack immediately when it discovers humans."
"Even if you manage to dodge it, as long as you're still standing here, at fixed times, something strange will attack you."
"The longer you stay, the more dangerous it becomes."
"This is the only revenge that the blood-red island of the dead has against humanity."
"First, at regular intervals, the strange entities within the Crimson Island will detect your presence and attack you. The stronger the entities become as time progresses." [Signs of modification]
"Secondly, when the number of participants reaches ten, they will be automatically teleported away from Crimson Island." [Signs of modification]
"Third, the rain of blood will take your life; please reach a safe area immediately." [No signs of modification]
The preceding words are fairly normal.
However, traces of smearing appeared when the rules were written.
Like a correction tape, it modifies the rules, and without even thinking, you know that this must have been done by the responsible people.
"Does a saint already have the power to modify the rules of this strange world?"
After Ye finished speaking, he began to observe the surrounding environment.
It was a desolate area, with only sparse weeds, conveying a sense of desolation.
Occasionally, you can see a few strange and eerie creatures wandering around, like lizards, but without heads, only necks, and a long tongue sticking out from inside the necks.
Their strength is at the terrifying level, which is the norm in the bizarre world. They are basically at the bottom level, and their numbers are also the largest.
In the sky above this small island, there is a number—1889.
This is the number of people currently alive.
"So, all I have to do is stay on this island and make it into the top ten?"
"But if that's the case, then superhumans will also attack each other, which is also allowed."
Ye Lai quickly understood the purpose of this quota competition in the bizarre world.
They must survive to the end among the extraordinary and the bizarre.

Blood-red clouds appeared in Ye Lai's sight.
Blood rained down from the dark clouds.
The few remaining flowers and plants died instantly after being exposed to the blood rain.
[Title: Crimson Clouds of Pollution]
[Category: Weather]
[Rank: Fourth Rank]
[Quality: Fragmented Epic]
[Introduction: It was once a blood cloud that even saints had to avoid. Anyone who came into contact with it would rapidly lose their life force. Later, Wang Quanye came to this blood-red island and completely destroyed the consciousness of the entire strange world, leaving only simple instincts. The blood cloud was also reduced to a fragmented state, but it is still something that no one below the saint level can resist.]
[Hint 1: Getting stained with its blood will deplete your life force]
[Tip 2: You're awesome, so you can hold out in the rain for five minutes, but we suggest you run away.]
Ye Lai understood.
This is the blood rain of hint three.
This is not difficult.
The dark clouds weren't moving very fast either.
Ye Lai strolled leisurely in the opposite direction of the dark clouds, and streaks of white light flew out from the small island.
Those who failed were sent away by the people in charge.
The numbers in the sky also began to drop, finally stopping at 1438. Several hundred people had already been eliminated.
This means that hundreds of white lights had just risen.
The dark clouds stopped and stopped changing.
Then the ground trembled.
Not far from Ye Lai.
A group of four-legged monsters that had just been spotted were rushing towards Ye Lai; there were many of them, numbering in the hundreds.
[Title: Headless Four-Legged Monster]
[Level: Horror]
[Introduction: These are the strange creatures formed from the spirits of the dead who once roamed the Crimson Island. They once possessed intelligence, but after the Great Xia King destroyed the consciousness of the Crimson Island, these creatures, as beings of the Crimson Island, were also affected, losing their minds and becoming nothing more than mutilated bodies.]
[Hint: One punch each isn't too much to ask, is it?]
Not excessive.
Ye Lai watched as the strange, four-legged creatures rushed towards him.
The look in his eyes showed fearlessness, even delight.
...
At Hongshan Square.
Several hundred people have reappeared in the square seats. They were eliminated by the blood rain because of their poor positions.
During the teleportation, Wan Yuhua had fully recovered from their injuries.
"I had just landed and I was gone. It's so unfair!"
"If I could do it all over again, I would definitely buy an umbrella to go in!"
"What bad luck!"
These hundreds of failed superhumans were still somewhat resentful, because they hadn't even accomplished anything before they were eliminated.
"Don't complain. If you can't last three seconds in the rain of blood, you definitely won't survive the first wave of attacks either."
Xiao Changkai, from Team One, addressed the group, pointing to the image on the beam of light.
Another member of the team, Hao Wuliao, chose to leave after Ye Lai entered, saying he would come back during the third wave of attacks.
The losers look at the images on the beam of light.
Almost every screen displayed hundreds of black, four-legged monsters.
The accompanying information, featuring four eerie legs, was all terrifying.
8bOOk. cОм
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
One of them is a terror-level monster; these people can handle it.
They could manage with ten heads, but with dozens or even hundreds, they considered themselves no match.
"Sometimes it's said to depend on luck, but it actually depends on ability."
Xiao Changkai comforted everyone, saying, "You were just unlucky, and your skills were lacking as well."
These words of comfort aroused anger in everyone, but they dared not say anything.
They're telling the truth, and they're a seasoned Tier 3 expert; I can't afford to mess with them.
"Look, someone's got a death wish, they're charging into the group of weird creatures."
Someone pointed to a screen and said that the screen showed a figure rushing towards hundreds of four-legged monsters that were charging at them.
...
Ye Lai rushed into the strange group.
He didn't even need to apply golden light; these terrifying and bizarre things couldn't even break through his defenses.
No skills are required; you just need to punch, punch, and punch some more.
No terrified monster could withstand a single punch from him.
Like a tiger among sheep.
The notification sound kept ringing.
Even though they're all strange blue crystals, it's good to collect them.
Fortunately, these four-legged monsters are mindless and only know how to charge forward without ever trying to escape.
Two minutes later.
Ye Lai's surroundings were clean and empty.
Off the field.
The others watched the superhumans on the screen as they slew the monsters head-on.
I finally realized the gap between myself and others.
"Why are some people so abnormal when they're all at the second tier?"
"I can accept that the third-tier killing power is bizarre, but how come all the second-tier ones are so monstrous?"
Ye Lai is not the only one doing something similar.
Feng Jingqi, Xie Bukui, Mo Neng, and others all did similar things.
Some of them looked even stronger than Ye Lai.
For example, Xie Bu Kui can unleash a Flame Storm with a wave of his hand, eliminating all monsters within ten seconds.
For example, Mo Neng's profession is unknown. All that is known is that when the monsters that appear in his sight start killing each other.
And so on.
"This competition is really exciting, much more exciting than the one I had with Hao Wuliao. Back then, we were always dominated by Dong Que. It's much more interesting to have an opponent like this."
Xiao Changkai also stared intently at the screen, and compared to others, he was better able to see the intricacies of each extraordinary individual.
Just like Ye Lai's terrifying physique that withstood the attack without breaking a sweat, Xie Bu Kui's spiritual power, Mo Neng's illusions, Feng Jing Qi's breathing...
...
The first wave of strange occurrences ended abruptly.
A 60-minute countdown appeared in the sky.
This means that the first hour is safe, and the second wave of bizarre attacks will occur in an hour.
There was also a circle of faint light appearing on the horizon.
Ye Lai could see the hidden information, so he understood the meaning of the circle. It meant a safe area, and they needed to get to the circle's area within an hour.
If you don't arrive in time, the dark clouds will envelop the area outside the circle an hour later, and those outside the circle will be drenched in bloody rain.
It's quite far from Ye Lai's location, but it's not too bad; an hour is more than enough.
That's perfect.
It can shorten the distance between people.
What Ye Lai wanted to do was very simple.
The goal is to find Mo Neng and then eliminate him.
Even though they had already betrayed Hongshan City and joined other central cities, they still had the audacity to come back to seize a spot and take the treasure vault.
This is something Ye Lai cannot tolerate.
Ye Lai redeemed a pipe in the shop.
[Title: The Pipe for Finding People]
8bOoК.Сom
[Category: Detective Tools]
[Rank: Second Rank]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Description: A gadget belonging to a crime-solving expert, used specifically to find people. He was living a perfectly good life until he accepted a case-solving request from a powerful individual, discovered a shady secret, and was subsequently thrown into a bizarre world where he died.]
[Note: This teaches us that if we are not strong enough, we should not pry into certain secrets.]
This is Ye Lai's equipment in a strange trial space.
It's useless except for this function.
But now it seems perfect; he can afford the 6,800 blue eerie crystal.
It's also very easy to use.
Put the pipe to your lips, take a deep drag, silently think about the person's name and appearance, and then exhale the smoke.
The smoke will automatically guide you.
Ye Lai thought of Mo Neng's appearance and exhaled smoke.
The smoke turned into a cloud of smoke and flew in one direction.
...
The western part of the blood-red isolated island.
Do not go into the safe zone.
The first wave of terrifying and bizarre attacks he faced destroyed themselves as soon as they came into his sight.
Looking at the sky, the number had stabilized at one digit and was no longer changing; it remained a four-digit number.
This means that no one will be eliminated anymore.
This is not what he wanted.
On his way to the safe zone, he will encounter some other superhumans who are also heading to the safe zone.
Some of them were people he used to know.
The people looked at him with displeasure, because now everyone knew what he had done.
However, after being glanced at by Mo Neng, these extraordinary individuals who were encountered by chance would commit suicide on the spot, but would be stopped by the person in charge and teleported away by white light.
"That's why everything is done with people in mind, which has resulted in Hongshan City going from being the first city in the center to the fourth city now."
Mo could not remain silent about such protective measures; he agreed with the philosophy of Gaoxin City: the strong are respected, and sacrificing the weak is necessary.
If this were in the High-tech City, people whose strength is far inferior to theirs would have avoided him and run away when they saw him, and would not have dared to express their dissatisfaction with him.
But it doesn't matter. Even if they are saved, the illusions he created will leave these people with psychological trauma, making them afraid to provoke him again.
"You have now reached the third rank and need to find your own Saintly Advent. Once you find it, you can advance to the fourth rank and become a Saint."
"Establishing an invincible aura, making people fear you, and clearing away all those who stand in your way will allow you to find your own divine presence more quickly."
Mo could not recall the words the city lord of Gaoxin City had said to him.
That's right, he wants to sweep away all those who stand in his way, cultivate an invincible aura, and become a saint.
By the way, help Gaoxin City defeat Hongshan City in this Ace Tournament and take first place.
By occupying the quota in Hongshan City and taking away the most valuable items from the Hongshan Treasure Vault, they can instill psychological trauma in the superhumans who were defeated by them, causing a talent gap in the superhumans of Hongshan City.
Nothing builds an invincible aura more than destroying a central city.
Mo Neng thought this way, and his light footsteps revealed his joyful mood.
He was very fast, and soon he saw another person heading towards the safe zone, who was his old friend.
"Tan Xiaoyun, it's been a long time."
Mo Neng came to Tan Xiaoyun's side and said.
Tan Xiaoyun turned around and saw that it was Mo Neng. Her face immediately fell, and she didn't want to look at him anymore.
They betrayed Hongshan City and still wanted to take a spot to claim the treasure.
That's really too much. Even if the two of them had a past relationship, she didn't want to give him a friendly look.
But it was also at this time.
The scene before her eyes changed.
The sky and the ground are upside down.
But she flew up?
A towering figure stood before Tan Xiaoyun.
And this person's face was none other than Mo Neng.
⒏вOΟК·сΟm
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
Tan Xiaoyun only knew what she saw.
But what we don't know is...
In this bizarre world, she has stopped in her tracks, put on boxing gloves, and is about to end her life with a single punch.
However, the fist that had just been clenched stopped.
Nothing could stop her.
Because he heard a rapid sound coming from not far away.
This means that someone is heading this way, and their target is clearly this area.
Am I being tracked?
Mo Neng spoke to himself, then closed his eyes.
The scene not far away appeared before him.
A cold-looking man was moving towards him, and with each step he took, he would reappear a hundred meters away, so much so that even his senses could barely keep up with him.
"Is Ye coming?"
Mo was unable to recognize the man's identity; he was the person who had taken his place at the murder hospital during the previous bizarre intrusion, and was hailed by Hongshan Center as yet another genius.
I had heard of this person's name when I was in High-tech City, mainly because Jiang Tiandao often fought with Ye Lai.
Later, he entered a solitary, eerie world and broke through to the second tier.
Mo Neng has information on many people, including Ye Lai.
"That's good. It's a waste to let these people commit suicide every time."
Looking at Tan Xiaoyun, who stood there dumbfounded like a puppet, Mo Neng ordered, "Go and kill him."
With vacant eyes, Tan Xiaoyun walked away.
The direction was exactly on the road where Ye had come from.
Mo Neng continued heading towards the safe area. He knew that Tan Xiaoyun was no match for Ye Lai, but he had heard that the two of them had gone through life and death together at the murder hospital.
He just wanted to see Ye Lai's dilemma. Compared to the psychological trauma Ye Lai suffered from using illusions to create, the trauma Ye Lai suffered from killing his own companion was the hardest to erase.
After doing all this, Mo could no longer continue towards the safe area.
...
Outside Hongshan Square.
Mo Lai's actions naturally fell into the eyes of the other superhumans.
"This is really rubbish."
"That's outrageous! They actually sent Tan Xiaoyun to kill Ye Lai."
"How could he be so cruel to his former comrade?"
People were excited, especially when they saw the extraordinary individuals who had emerged, all of them physically intact but listless.
"This leaves a psychological aftereffect; in the future, these people will feel fear and dread whenever they see Mo Neng."
Xiao Changkai made his judgment from the very beginning.
This group of people is doomed. Unless they can overcome the psychological trauma left by Mo Neng, they will have difficulty even advancing to a higher level, let alone becoming a saint. In the future, when they enter strange worlds and encounter psychological types, they will be powerless to resist.
"This guy was arranged by Gaoxin City."
"What a bastard! The captains should kick him out right now!"
Wang Lifan and Feng Diyuan each spoke.
On the screen, Mo Neng, who was heading towards the safe zone, smiled. He had encountered another superhuman of the same type, so he controlled him and then gave the order to kill Ye Lai.
Then continue forward.
"Sigh, Ye Lai is still too young. Because he used his skill to move quickly, he alerted the enemy, and now everyone is surrounding and killing him."
Wang Lifan, observing this scene, remarked, "He should have concealed his energy fluctuations."
"I wonder what our new teammate will do?"
Xiao Changkai wasn't worried at all that Ye Lai would fail; he just wanted to know how Ye Lai would handle these innocent, controlled superhumans.
...
Ye Lai, who was moving forward, stopped in his tracks, and the cloud of smoke in front of him also stopped.
Because he saw Tan Xiaoyun coming towards him, wearing steel boxing gloves.
It's definitely that person.
But Ye Lai immediately noticed that something was wrong with Tan Xiaoyun.
His eyes were lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.
Tan Xiaoyun leaped high into the air.
He threw a punch at Ye Lai.
(8) booK. сом
Ye Lai easily dodged the punch.
The punch landed on the ground, shattering it and creating a series of cracks.
A very powerful punch, fitting for Tan Xiaoyun's monstrous strength.
Ye Lai could guess that Tan Xiaoyun's second-tier profession was Advanced Boxer.
The punch missed.
It means continuing the attack.
It was completely haphazard, just a punch thrown purely with force.
He was full of flaws in front of Ye Lai.
A single, casual strike would be enough to defeat and eliminate her.
"They've been taken into custody."
Ye Lai already knew about Tan Xiaoyun's situation.
What we don't know is whether it's being controlled by some strange entity or some superhuman being.
And there were other people running towards him.
She also had the same symptoms as Tan Xiaoyun.
"They all came from the direction of Mo Neng, and there was more than one of them. Does that mean they controlled all these people to kill me, to see how I would react?"
Ye Lai quickly guessed Mo Neng's malicious intentions.
They either take action against these innocent people, or they let themselves be beaten.
"If you cannot, I will kill you."
Ye Lai's tone was icy.
With a step, he appeared in front of Tan Xiaoyun with a swift movement and threw a punch at her.
A white beam of light rose up and took Tan Xiaoyun away.
Facing other people who had arrived and been controlled.
Ye Lai showed no mercy whatsoever.
Kill one if one comes, kill two if two come.
Their steps never faltered.
A series of white lights rose up, representing the people who were being teleported away by those in charge.
They were all sent away by Ye Lai.
The remaining numbers in the sky continued to drop rapidly.
The crowd watching outside the square applauded Ye Lai's actions.
"Good job. Don't hold back. Hurry up and chase after him, and beat that Mo Neng out."
"That's right. If it were a truly bizarre world, and our companions were being controlled, we would kill them too. Besides, they won't actually die now."
Those watching were afraid that Ye Lai would soften his stance and fall into a passive, defensive position.
"It seems my new teammate isn't a saint after all. That's good, that's good."
Xiao Changkai also had a satisfied smile.
"If he's a saint, I'll definitely teach him a lesson when he gets out."
A proud and aloof man appeared beside Xiao Changkai. He had left Hao Wuliao earlier and originally planned to come back after the third strange attack, but after hearing about Mo Neng's situation, he came to see him ahead of schedule.
...
On the blood-red island, Mo Neng also felt his control gradually disappearing, and praised him:
"Good, no hesitation, let's take action."
"His strength is not bad either. He can kill them all with one punch. He seems to have a very strong physique. He is a close combat expert."
"No wonder Captain Jiang likes him so much; someone like that must be very tough to kill."
Mo Neng had reached the edge of the safe zone when a man with sharp sword aura blocked his way.
"Feng Jingqi, it's been a long time."
Mo Neng greeted him.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Feng Jingqi nodded slightly. After advancing to the second level, his sword was no longer carried on his back, but placed at his waist.
"We need to work together; I've run into a little trouble."
Mo Neng approached Feng Jingqi and said without any guard, "Someone has a misunderstanding about me and has gone on a killing spree. He has already driven everyone else on the road out of this world."
⑧bOΟ＋． Сом

who?"
Feng Jingqi asked, explaining that he had also seen the decreasing numbers in the sky and the continuous rise of white lights, which was why he waited by the safety circle to see what was going on.
In the qualifying rounds, it is indeed permissible to choose to kill other superhumans, as competition is normal in a competition.
However, Feng Jingqi did not agree with this approach.
From now on, everyone will be facing a bizarre world. Some people may not be effective in fighting against superhumans, but they can be surprisingly effective when facing the bizarre.
Competition is between people of similar strength; what's the point of specifically targeting and eliminating those weaker than yourself?
If someone chooses to arbitrarily eliminate the weak and the extraordinary, then Feng Jingqi will let them know that if you can choose to eliminate other contestants, then you should also be prepared to be eliminated yourself.
"I don't know, but he's quite strong, because I've seen superhumans get instantly killed by him."
Mo Neng shook his head and said, "I really hate people like that."
"Then why don't you make a move?"
Feng Jingqi said.
"I'm worried about fighting him and getting hurt,"
Mo Neng gave a bitter smile. "As you know, given my current situation, the people of Hongshan City are very hostile towards me. If I really get injured, someone might take the opportunity to deal with me."
He and Feng Jingqi were both geniuses in Hongshan City and were of the same rank, so they had communicated and interacted before, and he knew Feng Jingqi's character.
He has convictions but is rigid; he appears indifferent but is actually warm-hearted.
The key point is that they are also very strong.
People like this are the easiest to take advantage of.
"I understand why everyone is hostile to me, but there's nothing I can do. They can help me reach the third tier, but I really can't."
Mo Neng said shamefully, seemingly also feeling ashamed of his betrayal of Hongshan City.
I understand.
Feng Jingqi said, "Your behavior is indeed shameful, but why did you come to Hongshan City? Didn't Gaoxin City already give you a spot? And you're a top ten seed."
"It's all because I want to become stronger. The top ten contestants can enter the city's treasure vault once. Although I was supposed to be pre-selected this time, the High-tech City didn't give me that opportunity."
"As you know, the treasure vault contains powerful items, which can be considered the trump card for participating in the Ace Tournament. If I don't have them, I will definitely be at a great disadvantage."
Mo could not speak with deep emotion, as if his actions were a helpless act.
At this point, Mo Neng began to reminisce with Feng Jingqi about their past friendship and started chatting with him.
Not far away, the white light rose even more frequently.
Sometimes, even seven or eight beams of white light would rise up at the same time.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jingqi began to breathe rhythmically, and with each breath, gusts of wind began to surround him.
"A swordsman-like profession related to the wind?"
Mo Neng thought to himself.
As the figure drew closer, Feng Jingqi recognized who it was.
It is Ye Lai.
At this moment, Ye Lai also eliminated a superhuman who approached him, and a white light rose up.
"Ye Lai shouldn't be that kind of person."
Feng Jingqi thought to himself that although the two had not had much contact, he still knew something about Ye Lai from their previous encounter at the murder hospital.
Suddenly.
The world before his eyes began to spin, and Feng Jingqi found himself flying.
Before him stood a towering figure, whose face was none other than Mo Neng, the man he had spoken with earlier.
Feng Jingqi realized that she had been deceived.
There is definitely something wrong with Mo Neng.
Facing the imposing figure that held up the heavens and the earth, Feng Jingqi showed no fear and adjusted his breathing.
With a drawn sword, a sharp wind blade descended from above, slicing the world-shaking Mo Neng in two.
[Second-Tier Warrior Class - Wind Breathing Swordsman]
[Position 3 Skill - Wind Slash!]
My vision was restored.
...
⑧Ьοоk． сΟm
But in Ye Lai's eyes, who had just arrived...
Feng Jingqi stood at the very front, while Mo Neng stood behind him.
Feng Jingqi looked somewhat surprised when he saw himself.
His eyes then became lifeless, just like the other superhumans who had attacked him along the way.
"Were they also controlled?"
Ye Laidao.
However, soon, the winds around Feng Jingqi gathered around him, and Feng Jingqi used the gathered winds to slash his sword at the empty space in front of him.
His eyes regained their clarity, the very first moment they were clear.
Feng Jingqi then turned around and looked back.
Instead, they were met with a fierce blow from Mo Neng.
A hand enveloped in black energy pierced through Feng Jingqi's chest.
Even though Feng Jingqi managed to dodge at the last moment, he still lost an arm, specifically his right hand, the one used to hold the sword.
The absence of white light meant that the person in charge believed Feng Jingqi was not yet facing a life-or-death situation.
"Why?"
Feng Jingqi screamed in pain.
"Because you are quite capable, you will compete with me."
Mo Neng laughed, his hands covered in black energy, intending to take advantage of Feng Jingqi's weakness and send him away directly.
But suddenly a man appeared in front of him.
Golden lightning crackled around his body.
It withstood Mo Neng's black fists, the golden lightning trembling slightly as it blocked the attack.
[Second-position skill for the Deceptive Messenger - Lightning Armor]
A lightning-formed armor forms around the body, providing powerful defense and significantly enhancing physical attributes. It also automatically reflects damage back to anyone who attacks the lightning armor.
Ye Lai then combined this skill with the Golden Light Externalization, making his defense even stronger.
Mo Neng also suddenly trembled, and streaks of lightning ran across his body.
In the end, it turned into a cloud of black mist.
"A clone-type skill?"
Ye Lai looked at the scattered black mist and said, "The real Mo Neng is no longer here."
He looked back at Feng Jingqi, whose face was pale and who was trembling all over.
Black mist was trying to spread from the wound on his severed right arm, and a putrid smell was emanating from the wound.
This attached black mist also possesses corrosive properties.
Once attacked, it will automatically erode and spread.
The golden lightning on Ye Lai's exterior was also covered with black mist, but this was simple for Ye Lai; he only needed to remove the parts that were being eroded.
"Can it hold on?"
Ye Lai asked.
"good."
Feng Jingqi struggled to his feet. He was adjusting his breathing, and as he did so, gusts of wind gathered at his wounds, blocking the black energy from eroding him.
Although they wouldn't die, their combat strength would be greatly reduced.
"What happened?"
Ye Laidao.
"...I've been scammed..."
Feng Jingqi was silent for a moment, then spoke, explaining the situation in just a few simple words.
He fabricated a story about someone choosing to kill their comrade, which aroused Feng Jingqi's resentment. He then used their friendship to gain Feng Jingqi's trust, and finally, when Feng Jingqi was off guard, he planned to control him.
Unexpectedly, Feng Jingqi was strong-willed and broke free from the constraints, so they decided to eliminate Feng Jingqi.
Although Ye Lai stopped him halfway, Mo Neng's true form had already disappeared.

"It's better not to be too naive in life."
Ye Lai said to Feng Jingqi.
Feng Jingqi was deceived precisely because she was naive.
If it were Ye Lai herself, she might not have been fooled, as she is quite adept at acting.
Back in Devil Town, they managed to completely fool two symbiotes.
"..."
Feng Jingqi was speechless and choked with emotion, not knowing how to refute.
Pipe Clouds arrived late, drifting down in front of Ye Lai.
When Ye Lai arrived here, he kept slowing down because Yan Douyun's speed was limited, and he could only follow behind Yan Douyun.
"Don't worry, I can't say he'll be kicked out of the top 100, but he definitely won't get into the top 10."
Ye Lai said to Feng Jingqi, looking up at the sky, where the number 1314 had now been displayed.
"It's up to you, I'm fine with it."
Feng Jingqi said through gritted teeth.
"I hope to see you in the upcoming Ace Tournament as well."
Ye Laidao.
With Feng Jingqi's strength, he would have been in the top 100 without any problem, and even the top 10 was very possible. But now, with his serious injuries, it would be difficult for Feng Jingqi to even last another ten minutes, let alone reach the top 100.
Ye Lai tossed down a small blue pill and continued forward with Pipe Cloud.
Feng Jingqi caught the pill that was thrown to him, his expression was somewhat surprised, but he still swallowed it in one bite, and his originally pale face began to turn rosy.
Although the black mist from the wound still clung to him like a bone-deep abscess, his condition had returned to its peak.
"This thing must be very precious."
A warm feeling welled up in Feng Jingqi's heart.
...
Off the field.
The people watching the screen were completely encrossed in cursing and swearing.
"Even if this kind of person returns to Hongshan City, we in Hongshan will not want him."
"This XXX, he's such a damn bastard, he actually betrayed Feng Jingqi!"
"They're such dogs, so utterly despicable, shameless, vile, and vile. I can't take it anymore."
Some people, while cursing, couldn't help but started attacking the buildings around them, smashing them indiscriminately.
Damaging public property will result in compensation.
"Such behavior is indeed outrageous."
Xiao Changkai was also very unhappy with this behavior. "People like this are almost the same as those people in the black rallies. I remember that Mo Neng wasn't like this before."
"You can't see into someone's heart."
Hao Wuliao replied, "Back in Hongshan City, I naturally had to be a good young man. Now that I've gone to Gaoxin City, my true nature has been revealed. We're birds of a feather."
"This idiom is well used, birds of a feather flock together. But it's good this way, so that they can get used to it in advance and won't be so easily deceived when they enter the capital and compete with other cities."
Xiao Changkai nodded in agreement.
"I just hope Ye Lai and Xiao Kui can take down Mo Neng as soon as possible, otherwise if he gets into the top ten, I won't be able to resist killing him."
Hao Wuliao said.
...
Inside the blood-red isolated island.
Time was ticking away, and Ye Lai followed Yan Douyun forward.
It must be said that the further along the journey, the fewer people are manipulated to attack, because the strength of those who come later in the journey increases.
Feng Jingqi's example has shown that Mo Neng's manipulation skills are also limited. As long as one's strength or willpower is strong enough, one can block his manipulation.
Ye looked up at the numbers and time in the sky.
There are now only 954 people left, and only 1 minute of the hour has passed.
The blood-red clouds that had previously covered the area were beginning to stir again.
One minute passed.
The blood-red clouds moved again, and the numbers in the sky began to decrease once more.
8вοоК. Cοm
Then came the second wave of bizarre attacks.
Ye Lai stopped in his tracks.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly became sticky, and Ye Lai's body continued to sink deeper into it.
"snort."
Golden lightning crackled around Ye Lai, shaking the ground beneath his feet. He then took a strange step forward, appearing a hundred meters away.
The spot where they had stood had been turned into a blood-red swamp.
[Name: Nurturing Swamp]
[Level: Nightmare]
[Introduction ①: This is a supernatural phenomenon nurtured by the Crimson Island. It does not actively attack others, but it can give birth to terrifying supernatural beings. These terrifying supernatural beings will actively attack others and use them as nourishment.]
[Introduction ②: It used to be able to nurture... Unfortunately, after being destroyed by the Great Xia King's consciousness on the Crimson Island, it lost that ability. Now, it is just an emotionless nurturing machine.]
[Hint 1: If you can kill him, you'll get a strange red crystal.]
[Hint 2: Stepping on it will cause it to devour you; this is its only way of attacking.]
A strange red crystal.
Ye Lai suddenly became interested and dispersed the smoke from his pipe.
Before dealing with Mo Neng, he wouldn't mind dealing with this second wave of strange attacks first.
Above the swamp, a group of knights clad in blood-red cloaks rose eerily from the swamp.
[Name: The Fallen Knight's Mystery]
[Level: Terror]
[Description: This is a strange creature born from the fertile swamp. When it charges, nothing can stop it. It was once a rampant presence on the blood-red island.]
[Tip 1: They are no match for you; I won't say more.]
[Hint 2: Their strength will be enhanced when they are in the swamp, but they are still no match for you.]
[Hint 3: ...Pending unlocking]
"Quickly deal with this second wave of monsters, then find Mo Neng and kill him."
Ye Lai thought to himself.
He clenched his fist.
Golden lightning surged from his body as he unleashed a series of unpredictable steps.
The figure arrived in front of a fallen knight and punched him in the head.
The knight's helmet shattered into pieces instantly, destroying the head along with it.
However, the headless knight did not lose his ability to move, and Ye Lai did not receive any notification.
The knight strangely drew his spear and thrust it at Ye Lai, but it was easily blocked by Ye Lai's golden lightning.
[Hint ③: Unlock successful]
[Tip 3: Within the gestation swamp, they are protected by the swamp's power and will not suffer fatal injuries; they must be pulverized to pieces.]
The missing prompt ③ is to unlock.
"Under the protection of abilities, will one be shattered to pieces?"
That's a tricky situation; to shatter someone into pieces, you'd have to throw a lot of punches.
Ye Lai took another strange step.
The figure moved from one place to another, and the body that had just sunk a little was standing on the swamp again.
"Then let's break this strange ability."
Ye Lai suddenly produced a gleaming sword.
[Name: Cold Light Greatsword]
[Category: Sword-type weapons]
[Rank: Second Rank]
[Quality: Very rare, almost perfect]
[Description: This is a great sword crafted by a special artisan. The blade contains his special wish. It is extremely sharp and exceptionally strong, not easily broken. Each strike is accompanied by a 'cold gleam' effect.]
[Hint: This is a very durable and strong greatsword]
⑻bσOK. СОm
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
This gleaming greatsword is the most expensive piece of equipment Ye Lai has acquired in recent times.
I spent over 8000 blue eerie crystals and over 1000 red eerie crystals.
Although the description and hints are intriguing, the equipment's effects are top-notch.
Ye Lai slashed down with his sword.
The knight who was struck suddenly had a layer of frost automatically appear on the part of his body that was targeted.
This is the 'cold light' effect of the Cold Light Greatsword.
It automatically applies a frost effect, which then spreads.
The strange creature that gets hit will also have a slowing effect.
But the swamp beneath their feet emitted a special energy that blocked the spread of frost.
Ye Lai didn't say much more.
The second sword strike came down again.
The special energy on the knight's body dissipated automatically.
[Second-position skill of the Deceptive Messenger - Double Sword Break]
It can break the enemy's own energy and other effects, and can also break negative statuses by attacking itself. The downside is that you must hit the second sword on the opponent to activate this skill.
Then came another cyan sword shadow that killed with a single strike. Without the support of the immortal energy, this terrifying and bizarre creature was easily killed by Ye Lai.
[Hint: You have defeated a terrifying-level monster and obtained 1438 Blue Monster Crystals]
Ye Laiye had already made a rough judgment about the crystals that the strange creatures could obtain.
The "Terrifying" level is roughly between one hundred and one thousand, the "Horror" level is between one thousand and five thousand, and the "Nightmare" level starts at five thousand blue eerie crystals. This refers to ordinary eerie crystals.
Special, orthodox, and supreme types of monsters are not included. Defeating monsters with these prefixes will yield red monster crystals.
Dragon Soul Crystals are even more special; only those with noble bloodlines possess them, and those with noble bloodlines often have mysterious prefixes.
The rest is simple.
Ye Lai only needs to take a few steps and raise his hand to strike three times with his sword to take down a knight.
In Ye Lai's eyes, this second wave of bizarre attacks turned into a complete crystal-farming frenzy.
No pressure at all.
After killing all of these dozens of eerie knights.
Ye Lai was already free to leave.
Normally, dozens of terrifying knights should have mysteriously left the gestation swamp to pursue the superhumans who entered the Crimson Island.
Therefore, the actual combat power of the Terror-level Knight is not that strong, because it does not possess the special energy that gives rise to the swamp.
The fact that Ye Lai was able to kill these knights in the fertile swamp was strange; it was purely due to his superior strength.
Looking at the strange, swampy mass beneath his feet, Ye Lai began to ponder.
...
Hongshan Square.
The second bizarre attack also put the viewers on edge.
"These guys are too strong."
"This can no longer be described as genius; he can be called a prodigy."
"Look at those who ran away, and those who fought hard. These are the normal ones. The others are not normal."
They couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at how the contestants responded.
Most participants chose to fight while fleeing, while a few dozen chose to bring these strange creatures out of the swamp and then fight them.
Moreover, most of them fought extremely hard, it could be described as a bloody battle.
But some of the battles left these spectators only able to sigh in awe.
Ye Lai, who entered the fertile swamp and crushed the enemy, was just one of them.
Xie Xiaokui unleashed a fiery storm that engulfed the entire swamp, burning all the knights to ashes within ten seconds.
Mo Neng, on the other hand, controlled all these knightly monsters. The knightly monsters who were majestic in front of others became his lackeys.
There were several others as well, too numerous to mention, who were easily crushed.
The most heartbreaking character is Feng Jingqi, who lured all these monsters outside the swamp and struggled to fight the knight monsters with his remaining left arm.
"These guys are a bunch of old codgers. They're from the same year as us, but they didn't dare to participate in the Ace Tournament with me. They only joined now."
Hao Wuliao commented on some of the surviving superhumans.
"It's not that it's wrong. You could call it a tactic, or avoiding the main issue. Last year, when Dong Que participated, who dared to compete with her? She's now a Saint and in charge."
⑻Book·som
Xiao Changkai understands the thoughts of those who didn't participate last year.
"Why hasn't Ye Lai left yet? Why is he still standing there?"
Feng Diyuan asked the question next to Xiao Changkai and the other person.
He and Wang Lifan have already stood with Xiao Changkai.
"He wouldn't be planning to kill the Swamp Spawn, would he?"
Wang Lifan said suspiciously, he thought the idea was crazy, but it seemed like something Ye Lai would do.
"No way, no way, is someone really planning to do this?"
Feng Diyuan was usually a man of few words, but he couldn't help asking a few more questions.
I think so.
Xiao Changkai stroked his chin and estimated.
...
Xiao Changkai's estimate was correct.
Ye Lai was only thinking about how to destroy the swamp beneath his feet.
This was the first time he had encountered such a non-biological anomaly, and how to proceed was a problem.
He attempted to use a single sword strike to kill.
The cyan sword shadow swiftly sliced through the swamp, penetrating its depths and unleashing a burst of sword energy that caused the swamp to tremble slightly.
But it was of no use.
A single-target attack with strong damage is useless against this kind of disaster-type anomaly; it's like a mosquito biting a person.
It can cause itching, but it's not fatal.
"The hint says that you need to find its core to kill it, but where is its core?"
The swamp is roughly a circle with a diameter of one kilometer.
He was only at the edge of the swamp, and he didn't know how deep it was.
Finding the core is a very difficult problem.
Ye Lai's eyes turned golden; his Vajra Eyes had been activated.
He intends to use this to find the core of this disaster category.
Before his all-seeing, diamond-like eyes, Ye Lai noticed something unusual.
Not far away, about four hundred meters away, in the center of the swamp, black gas was being released upwards and spread to all areas within its range.
Ye Lai stepped forward and arrived at the center.
In front of him was a fountain of black mist, ten meters in diameter.
The Black Knights are continuously surging forth.
[Hint: You have discovered the core surface layer of the swamp]
"Then let's say the core is under the swamp."
Ye Lai saw the notification and thought to himself.
Now that we've found it, the next step is to break through.
Ye Lai drew his sword, and golden light and lightning erupted.
The hand gripping the gleaming greatsword moved swiftly, becoming a blur.
Sword after sword slashed down rapidly.
Each one was a single, deadly strike covered by a cyan sword shadow.
The swamp was cut open at an extremely fast speed.
When Ye Lai sank to a depth of one thousand meters.
Finally, we saw a black, round rock.
[Hint: You have discovered the core of the swamp's origin]
Continue drawing your sword.
However, the cyan sword shadow could only leave a shallow sword mark on this black round stone.
Because it is a strange creature specifically responsible for reproduction and has no offensive capabilities, its defensive capabilities are incredibly formidable.
"In that case, it seems we'll have to use more force."
A layer of electric light adhered to the great sword.
8bOok. СOm
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
On the great sword with its cold, gleaming light.
There are now three layers of light covering the area: the innermost layer is a cyan sword shadow, the edge is golden light, and there is crackling electricity on the outside.
The real reason Ye came to exchange for the great sword was because it was sturdy and not easily broken.
Otherwise, an ordinary second-tier sword blade would likely break due to bearing such force multiple times.
On the other side.
The sword light condensed into another longsword.
He wielded two swords, each infused with various powers.
Next up is Ye Lai's strongest slash after advancing to the second-tier Demon-Slaying Envoy.
The two swords slashed out simultaneously in an instant.
Because it is a pair of swords, Ye Lai's one sword strike is equivalent to two sword strikes.
[Stacked Skills: Double Strike + Golden Light Condensation + Lightning Armor + Double Strike Break]
The power attached to the black stone was broken by the two swords.
Then the power of the stacking technique is poured into the blackness and appreciation.
Cracks appeared on the black core before it finally shattered.
[Hint: You have defeated a special Nightmare-level Eerie entity, obtaining 6595 Blue Eerie Crystals and 2022 Red Eerie Crystals]
After the notification sound.
The once vibrant swamp has stopped flowing and turned into normal soil, leaving a deep pit a kilometer long in the ground.
Those watching from the outside were dumbfounded.
Ye Lai's twin sword strike shattered the core of the swamp, meaning that his strongest attack had reached the peak of the third tier, and was even approaching the Saint level.
The term "genius" is no longer appropriate for Ye Lai; he should be called a prodigy.
There was once a person with the same title, and that person is Dong Que, the current Ninth Head, and the one before him was Lan Beihong. Both of them have now become saints.
"It seems our new junior brother isn't necessarily weaker than us."
Xiao Changkai said with satisfaction.
"It's not necessarily that he's weaker than me."
Hao Wuliao replied.
...
After defeating the Swamp Spawner, Ye returned to the surface.
The crimson clouds had already covered the entire area outside the safe zone, and were becoming even denser. Ye Lai glanced at the notification.
It says that the time he can last has decreased from five minutes to three minutes.
A new countdown and time have also appeared.
This time it lasted two hours, and only 108 survivors remained. The second wave of bizarre events wiped out nine-tenths of the survivors.
But that's normal; this wave is more than a hundred times more difficult than the first.
Those who are still alive now must be beings capable of easily killing ordinary terrifying-level monsters, and even able to contend with ordinary nightmare-level monsters.
This refers to the lower limit, not the upper limit.
He then took out his pipe, took a puff, and released the smoke.
The pipe cloud headed straight toward the safe zone, with Ye Lai following closely behind.
...
More than an hour had passed.
Mo Neng entered the second safe zone.
He was followed by dozens of eerie knights.
He also eliminated several extraordinary individuals along the way.
He looked up at the sky.
There are now only 99 extraordinary individuals left.
All of them are qualified to participate in the next round, but his goal is to be in the top ten, enter the treasure vault, and incidentally destroy the minds and bodies of the extraordinary people in Hongshan City, causing them to break down. By defeating a city, he can better enter the state of Holy Descent.
Entering the safe zone.
Fifty knights stood outside in a strange manner.
Mo was unable to produce an item.
It was a gold pocket watch that looked somewhat worn.
This is something he carefully prepared for this qualifying competition.
Dozens of knights mysteriously transformed into black smoke and poured into the golden pocket watch, causing the hour hand on the watch to begin to turn.
The gold color faded from the pocket watch, turning it red.
A streak of red light emerged from the pocket watch and shot into the sky.
The entire blood-red island began to tremble.
It seems that some kind of consciousness is awakening.
The countdown timer in the sky was decreasing rapidly.
The remaining 45 minutes were abruptly reduced to 45 seconds.
Large swaths of dark clouds surged forth.
"Some troublesome people should just let the trouble be resolved."
8boOK． COm
Mo Neng said this as if nothing had happened, and then left.
...
Meanwhile, off the field, the incompetent actions were once again met with a barrage of criticism.
"Isn't the person in charge going to do anything about this kind of cheating?"
Someone shouted.
"This doesn't count as cheating; using strange items is allowed."
Xiao Changkai patiently explained, although he was also very unhappy, it was indeed within the rules.
...
Inside the blood-red isolated island.
[Warning: Due to interference from a strange and unusual object, the Crimson Island's own consciousness has become active, and the safe time has decreased.]
The prompt appeared when Ye Lai saw the time change in the sky.
Someone used strange items.
This makes the current safe time 45 seconds.
Is it impossible?
Ye Lai guessed.
Putting away his pipe, Ye Lai began his all-out sprint.
A stride of 100 meters is a terrifying speed.
Moreover, Ye Lai possesses an indestructible physique and lightning armor, which allows him to move forward almost seamlessly from one step to the next.
Of course, such actions also involve considerable pressure.
But Ye Lai can bear it.
This is him now.
It is an all-around warrior with high speed, high health and defense, and extremely high attack.
This also allows Ye Lai to use many skills that would otherwise be restricted.
Under full-speed attack.
Ye Lai arrived in the safe zone in 45 seconds.
Only ten seconds remained in the sky.
There are seven other people who are also on the edge of the safety zone.
They were all people who arrived amidst the sudden changes.
Others have already reached a point where they can see the safety zone.
Judging from their current speed, there is not enough time left for them to enter the safe zone.
The blood-red clouds in the sky stopped just outside the safety zone.
A torrential rain of blood fell.
More than twenty beams of white light rose up in quick succession within ten seconds of the falling beams.
To Ye Lai's surprise...
One person braved the bloody rain and made it to the safe zone.
She is a sweet-looking girl.
His clothes were mostly corroded by the blood rain, and a pink halo covered the vital parts.
"Nimad, a senior third-tier transcendent."
Ye Lai recognized her; two of his senior brothers in the team had told him that she was one of the people he needed to be careful of.
To be able to survive twenty seconds in a rain of blood is indeed impressive.
After all, Ye Lai could only withstand the third wave of blood rain for one and a half minutes.
"If I find out which bastard is doing this to me, I'll fucking get him out of here, I don't believe you."
Nimad cursed rudely.
"Senior Brother Xiao's information is correct; she's a woman who would be better off not talking."
Ye Lai recalled Xiao Changkai's comments about Ni Mad.
There are only 50 survivors left in the sky; there could have been more.
But this sudden bloodbath caused the other half of the person to leave.
Ye Lai did not open the pipe cloud to go find Mo Neng.
"This should be the third wave of bizarre attacks."
Ye said.
The group of people who had been gathered together quickly dispersed.
Try not to let others see your abilities, so as to avoid being targeted later.
It was inevitable that the people in the plaza outside would find out, but they weren't participants, and even if they knew, they couldn't do anything to them now that they were on the Crimson Island.
The remaining fifty people are all extremely formidable competitors.
...
"Actually, I've always thought that only the third wave of bizarre attacks was interesting; the first two were too easy."
Hao Wuliao, who was standing off the field, spoke up at this moment.
8ЬОOk·COM
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
The first two waves of attacks were quite simple.
Only the third wave is interesting, according to Hao Wuliao.
Because you only encounter the strange rules in the third wave.
Unusual power dynamics are not scary; unusable rules are the real problem.
...
The third wave of strange events arrived even faster than Ye Lai had anticipated.
Outside the safe zone.
Suddenly, a little girl wearing a red hat appeared, carrying a bamboo basket. She trembled in the blood-red rain outside the safety zone, as if she would collapse at any moment.
But they still insisted on coming in.
His body was completely soaked by the blood-red rain.
The little girl slowly walked up to Ye Lai, raised her head, and had a delicate baby face, especially her eyes, which were veiled with mist, making her look pitiful.
It makes one feel an irresistible tenderness towards them.
"Uncle, would you like to buy a match?"
The little girl lifted the cloth covering the bamboo basket, revealing damp matches inside.
[Title: The Little Match Girl - A Mysterious Tale]
[Occupation: Semi-Commander of the Weird, Fragmented Consciousness of the Crimson Island, First Generation Weird]
[Rank: First Generation Nightmare Level (Fragmented)]
[Introduction ①: This is the story of the eerie little match girl on the Bloodstained Island. Before the arrival of the Great Xia King, no one dared to take her matches. She could only light a match herself every day to keep warm, hoping for the future in the light of the match. She died and was reborn, and died again after being reborn, in an endless cycle...]
[Introduction ②: After the King of Xia arrived, he bought all her matches, then crippled her. From then on, she was no longer the desperate little match girl; she was no longer whole.]
[Hint 1: If you buy her a box of matches, you can't do anything weird to this cute little girl]
[Hint 2: To be unlocked]
[Hint 3: To be unlocked]
The cute little girl in front of you is a monster.
It was a first-generation nightmare level that Ye Lai had never seen before, and from the introduction, Ye Lai could also tell that it was not just at this level before, but should have been a despair level of eeriness.
It was just that the Great Xia King crippled it from the Despair level to the Nightmare level.
"Uncle, please buy a box of matches. My matches are big and good."
The little girl mysteriously took out a matchbox and pleaded with Ye Lai.
Not far away.
A beam of white light rose into the sky.
Then another one came.
Then another white light appeared.
In a short period of time.
More than ten beams of white light rose up.
This means that more than a dozen people have already been eliminated and sent away from here.
The fifty survivors were all elites, but after encountering the strange little match girl, more than a dozen of them were eliminated at once.
"Uncle, please buy a box, please buy a box."
The little girl pleaded eerily.
Ye Lai turned around, intending to ignore her.
But unexpectedly, when I turned around, the little girl reappeared strangely in front of me.
No matter how fast Ye Lai turned, the little girl would relentlessly appear before him.
[Hint ② Unlocked successfully]
[Hint 2: If you do not leave before the second plea, you will not be able to escape the eerie range of the Little Match Girl. She will inevitably appear in front of you and continue to plead. If you do not respond by the tenth plea, it will trigger a counterattack from the consciousness of the Crimson Island, which is equivalent to the Death-level eerie entity personally taking action, and you will be eliminated immediately.]
Goodness.
⑻вOΟk． cΟm
They had the same drive they had when they were salesmen back in the day—either they refused, or they bought.
There is no middle option.
Moreover, this little match girl is eerie; if she doesn't respond after being called ten times, it will trigger a counterattack from the consciousness of the Crimson Island, equivalent to the death-level eeriness personally taking action.
What does a death-level bizarre attack mean? It means that Ye Lai doesn't need to resist and can just wait to die. He also understood that the best way to deal with this bizarre little match girl is to walk away before the second sound.
"Uncle, please buy one box, please."
The little girl grabbed Ye Lai's trouser leg strangely, pleading.
"Okay, I'll buy the matches, but let's correct each other first. Don't call me uncle, call me brother."
Ye Lai said to the little girl in a strange tone, "Do you understand?"
"I understand, brother. Give me a box of matches."
The little girl nodded mysteriously, took out a box of matches, and handed it to Ye Lai.
"I don't want one box, I want them all."
Before the little girl could react strangely, Ye Lai snatched the strange bamboo basket from her and also took a box of matches from her hand.
The message said that once you bought a box, you couldn't do anything strange to the little girl.
It didn't say what would happen if all the matches were bought. Ye Lai clearly saw in the introduction that the Great Xia King had done something similar before.
[Unlock conditions met, notification ③: Unlock successful]
[Hint 3: The little girl is acting strangely without her even realizing it. The person who took all her matches, or even just one match, can ignore Hint 1 and do whatever they want to the little girl.]
Looking at her empty hands, the little girl was momentarily at a loss for what to do, her expression somewhat bewildered.
However, the initial confusion turned into a pleasant surprise.
"Uncle, you'll have to pay the price for taking my matches."
The little girl said with a strange grin, "I'm going to turn you into matches and sell them to other people. Matches made from a human body are much warmer than matches made from weirdo."
Her once kind and innocent face suddenly aged, and she transformed from a little match girl into a strange old woman selling matches.
But he was still so short.
The old hand reached out to grab Ye Lai, but Ye Lai dodged it.
The great sword with a cold light appeared in Ye Lai's hand, and with a wave of his hand, a cyan sword shadow appeared.
"Since you took my matches, you cannot attack me."
Although she has turned into an eerie old woman, her voice is still that of a little girl.
The cyan sword pierced her clothes, leaving a sword wound on her body, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face.
She didn't understand why Ye Lai could still attack her even after buying matches.
Take advantage of her illness and kill her.
Ye Lai didn't care what she was thinking; he just wanted to kill her as quickly as possible.
He wanted to take down this strange crystal and then drive Mo Neng out.
The sword light materialized in the other hand.
Ye Lai brandished his twin swords.
Unleashing full power, one sword kills, two swords break, blue sword shadows, golden light transforms, and stacked skills.
Everything was used.
After one minute of high-powered, violent output.
The little match girl mysteriously turned into ashes.
[Hint: You have defeated a first-generation Nightmare-level clone and obtained 5000 Blue Mysterious Crystals, 1314 Red Mysterious Crystals, and 520 Dragon Soul Crystals]
To my surprise, there was also a Dragon Soul Crystal.
After solving the strange story of the little match girl.
Ye Lai took out his pipe again, took a puff and exhaled, and a cloud of smoke formed.
The number displayed in the sky at this moment for the extraordinary individuals is 22.
⑧ЬооＫ. Соm

Those watching from the sidelines witnessed firsthand what a fierce and relentless attack truly looked like in that single minute.
Every move was a powerful attack, and the third wave of strange attacks only lasted for less than a minute in front of Ye Lai.
Of the remaining 22 people, most of them simply walked away when they saw the little girl acting strangely.
Only a handful of people were able to kill, just like Ye Lai, but none of them were as fast as Ye Lai.
Mo Neng, who was the focus of everyone's attention, left immediately upon seeing the little girl acting strangely.
"Our junior brother is so domineering."
Xiao Changkai said.
"Very impressive."
Hao Wuliao also praised Ye Lai's actions, saying that he could also solve the third wave of strange events in the same way, and even faster than Ye Lai, in only forty seconds.
However, it's difficult to achieve the same ease and comfort as Ye Lai.
Looking at Ye Lai on the screen, he didn't even seem to be out of breath.
After killing the strange creature, he planned to find Mo Neng.
I am not as good as him.
Feng Jingqi has been discharged from the hospital and her arm has recovered, but she still needs to practice a lot to regain the flexibility she used to have.
"But I will definitely beat him."
Even though he knew he was not as good as Ye Lai now, Feng Jingqi was not discouraged. Instead, he became even more determined.
"Look, Ye Lai is about to meet Mo Neng."
Someone said.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the screen showing Ye Lai and Mo Neng.
Everyone saw what Mo Neng had done and was furious, wanting nothing more than to get him eliminated as soon as possible.
However, Mo Neng's strength cannot be denied.
A single glance is enough to send the monsters into a fray, and the ability to easily manipulate others and control dozens of terrifying monsters is something no ordinary Tier 3 can do.
Although Ye Lai also demonstrated his strength.
He effortlessly killed the terrifying and bizarre, and the terrifying knight was as if he were in an empty field. He also destroyed the swamp that gave birth to him. He was also ruthless and calm when facing the controlled superhumans. The little girl monster showed his powerful side.
But many people are still worried.
Because Mo Neng is, after all, a third-tier being. Ye Lai can be considered a prodigy, and Mo Neng's performance is no less impressive. You should know that he only spent three and a half months to become a third-tier superhuman.
"Maybe we should forget about it. If we fight Mo Neng and lose, we won't be in the top ten anymore, since one of us is a third-tier fighter and the other is a second-tier fighter."
Someone whispered.
"What kind of talk is that! Ye Lai could never lose!"
Wang Yuan shouted from the crowd, "So what if we lose? Let someone like that do whatever he wants? If I participate, I don't care if I can win or not, I'm going to go up and fight him!"
As a formal member, Wang Yuan was entitled to participate in the competition, but knowing that his strength was inferior to others, he did not waste the opportunity.
"That's right!"
"Regardless of whether we can win or not, we must fight if we must fight! We must wage war if we must fight!"
The crowd responded enthusiastically.
Xiao Changkai and Hao Wuliao nodded in agreement.
Gradually.
Hongshan Square fell silent.
Because Ye Lai had already met with Mo Neng, everyone watched in silence.
...
The safe zone kept shrinking, which made it much easier for Ye to find Mo.
Mo Neng stood alone in a canyon, hands behind his back, facing Ye Lai who was chasing after him, and looked at the small cloud of smoke with great interest, saying:
"Is this what you used to track me? Is it a skill? Or an item?"
"..."
Ye Lai ignored Mo Neng and looked up at the sky. The number had changed to 21, which meant that another guy had been eliminated.
"Stop looking, I'm the one who eliminated that guy here."
Mo could not discern Ye Lai's thoughts. "Not bad. He's a seasoned Tier 3 expert. Some of his skills have even been upgraded, but they're not complete, so he's just okay."
"After seeing how long you've been chasing me, I've decided to eliminate you first."
"Do you know? The fourth wave of attacks is a bizarre, half-desperate level attack. Even for me, it would be difficult to survive. The best way is for us to kill each other and eliminate the people before the fourth wave arrives."
"How about we cooperate and take care of the rest of the people together?"
(8) Book. com
Mo Neng extended an olive branch to Ye Lai.
"I think this would be better."
Ye Lai said, "I'll take care of you first."
"That's a pity. I can tell you're very good."
Mo Neng showed a regretful expression, then looked at Ye Lai.
His eyes had turned blood red.
Ye Lai's gaze met Mo Neng's.
The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.
It was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, all of which were the strange beings he had killed and the superhumans he had personally eliminated.
Tan Xiaoyun is questioning him about why he didn't try to save her at the time, but instead directly eliminated her.
Without even thinking about it, all these things in front of you are illusions.
No nonsense.
He punched Tan Xiaoyun, who was crying the loudest, right in the face.
The illusion shattered.
Ye Lai remained standing in place.
"Stop playing these tricks, it's pointless, it's all an illusion."
Ye Laidao.
Before Mo Neng could reply, a large, cold-looking sword appeared in his hand, and he took a strange step.
Upon reaching Mo Neng, the great sword with its cold light slashed down.
It's not like only Mo Neng can launch surprise attacks; Ye Lai can too.
"He's a ruthless person, ruthless enough, and cunning enough."
Mo could see that the illusion was broken so quickly, which showed that the illusion had not shaken Ye Lai in the slightest.
The illusions he created were all of the extraordinary individuals that Ye Lai had previously eliminated. Unexpectedly, Ye Lai showed no remorse for eliminating them.
She even deliberately tried to distract him.
"If you think I only create illusions, you are really mistaken."
Mo Neng laughed in the face of Ye Lai's close-range slash.
He produced a long, black spear in both hands and held it in front of him to block.
He withstood the sword strike head-on, his figure remaining completely unshaken.
Ye Lai was not surprised. Before going to Gaoxin City, Mo Neng was already a genius in the Eighth Team, and his 'Black Spear' was incredibly skillful.
"Try again."
Ye Laidao.
A layer of cyan sword shadows adhered to the cold, gleaming greatsword.
One sword kills!
Mo Neng tried to block again, but this time he felt the strain, and the black energy that had injured him before reappeared on his hands.
"I'm only using first-tier power right now, don't be too confident."
Mo Neng smiled, intending to leave Ye Lai, this prodigy, with a psychological trauma of being completely crushed in every way.
The rewards for destroying the mindset of a prodigy will be very generous from the High-tech City.
"hehe."
Ye Lai chuckled.
Golden light flowed around him, and the power of the sword increased once more.
Using his strength, he completely suppressed Mo Neng below.
That's it?
Ye Lai's free left hand was covered with a layer of golden light, and he slapped Mo Neng across the face.
Mo Neng was about to be sent flying by that slap.
But Ye Laijin condensed a palm and pulled him back in front of her. Mo Neng's originally sunny half of his face was slapped and became red and swollen.
"You're dead."
Mo Neng said coldly, completely enraged by Ye Lai's slap.

Mo Neng's first-tier class is called the Dark Spearman, which is a melee class.
That's why I'm in the eighth team.
But this profession is very special. Although it is melee, it also has mental attacks. He went to High-tech City to find a suitable second-tier seed.
Who knew that there was not only a second-tier seed, but also a third-tier seed suitable for him, and even a saintly inheritance most suitable for him.
Faced with such temptation, Mo Neng chose to betray Hongshan City.
The result did not disappoint Mo Neng; he advanced from the first rank to the third rank in just one and a half months.
He originally thought it would be a year before he reached the third rank.
Countless invincible monsters have fallen to his hands and become his playthings.
As long as we can continue to grow stronger, it doesn't matter if we have to go against our conscience and do things that we used to despise.
After completing this ace match, he will be able to obtain the saintly inheritance that suits him.
He thought this qualifying tournament was just a warm-up, and that he only needed to pay attention to a few special people and make it into the top ten.
Unexpectedly, I was slapped across the face.
The shame, the anger, including the anger towards himself, all erupted.
His bloodshot eyes fixed on Ye Lai.
An illusion had already been transmitted from Mo Neng's eyes to Ye Lai.
[Second-Tier Warrior Class - Illusionist]
[Position 3 Skill - Mental Shock]
Before Ye Lai's eyes.
Heaven and earth turned upside down, and a gigantic being appeared before him, making Ye Lai's own figure seem like an ant.
"This kind of thing is useless to me."
Ye Lai said coldly, drawing his sword and slashing down without hesitation.
The illusion shattered once again.
The scenery before my eyes returned to normal, without even a lag, without a hesitation of 0.1 seconds.
The sword strike fell once more.
Black flames ignited on the long, black spear.
[Tier 1 Advanced Class - Dark Spearman]
[Second Position Skill - Dark Flame]
Attached to the jet-black spear, it greatly enhances the weapon's attack power, while also causing burns to anyone who touches the spear.
But this had no effect on Ye Lai's Cold Light Greatsword.
Even the black flames were covered with a layer of white frost, which was the effect of the great sword's cold light.
Is this all you're capable of?
Ye Lai said expressionlessly, "You're really weak."
They don't even need to use tricky footwork to move nimbly; they can completely overwhelm their opponent simply by relying on strength.
This left Mo with no choice but to defend himself.
This is not Mo Neng's fault; his second-order illusions were of no use to Ye Lai.
No matter who it is or what illusion it is, Ye Lai can dispel it without hesitation.
"Why? Why? Why don't my illusions work on you?"
No one could help but feel resentful.
"Why? Because if you know it's an illusion, why hesitate?"
Ye Lai thought to himself, but said aloud, "In front of the strong, illusions are nothing but trash. Your profession is just that kind of trash. It may be able to run rampant in front of the weak, but it's nothing but child's play in front of the strong."
Ye Lai was powerless to stop it.
Not only should we prevent Mo Neng from making it into the top ten, but we should also completely destroy Mo Neng's mentality.
If the quota system can't kill people, then kill their spirit.
"If this is all you're capable of, then die."
Ye Lai conjured a sword light with his other hand, and the two swords danced wildly.
The brutal dual-sword attack has reappeared.
⑻ь ＯOK·СОm
Mo Neng's spear could no longer hold, and wounds appeared all over his body.
Before the violent double sword dance, his defense was like a candle flickering in the wind.
"You're very strong. You've reached your limit, haven't you? Then I'll accept it."
Despite being eliminated at any moment, Mo Neng remained calm and composed.
An illusion appeared on him, wielding the same twin swords as Ye Lai, even in the same posture, swinging the same twin swords.
Violent Dual Swords Style vs. Violent Dual Swords Style.
[Illusionist's fourth skill - Imitation Image]
It can identify a person's state and create a 3-minute illusion of imitation of the identified person.
Mo Neng spent a great deal of effort to upgrade this skill, and even the equipment and skills could be imitated for 1 minute.
"Even you couldn't maintain this state for long."
Mo Neng never thought that he could defeat Ye Lai with just this one skill, but he was convinced that Ye Lai's current state could not be maintained for long.
Those outside the venue fell silent upon hearing this.
Why can't it last?
"He's right, most people can't last that long."
Xiao Changkai sighed, "It's a pity he ran into Ye Lai."
...
"Who made you think this is all I've done?"
Ye Lai said ruthlessly.
I do not intend to rely on persistent destruction of this illusion that mimics me.
A burst of sword light appeared, and a blue lotus bloomed.
Within ten steps, everything was within the range of the Azure Lotus, and within the Azure Lotus, streaks of azure sword shadows, each capable of slaying a single sword strike, roamed freely.
[Sword Technique - One Kill in Ten Steps!]
The illusion shattered on the spot.
The innocence that was wrapped inside was revealed.
Ye Lai's hand holding the sword suddenly trembled, and the blue lotus flower, which had not yet fully bloomed, withered halfway through.
Mo Neng also got a chance to catch his breath, his figure disappearing from the spot and reappearing fifty meters away.
"A spear-wielding melee class, and an illusion-creating class—that should be your Tier 3 class."
Ye Lai looked at his right hand, which had made a mistake, and said.
"You are a very respectable opponent, but you are destined to lose to me, because I am the strongest."
Mo could not wipe away the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth.
Even though he interrupted Ye Lai's Ten Steps One Kill, he still suffered considerable injuries, but it didn't matter. In the moment of fighting Ye Lai, he had already done what he wanted to do.
"With a resolute mind, unpredictable movements, a powerful physique, and terrifying attacks, you are truly perfect. But it has to be this perfect that makes me so happy. In that case, you can go and kill the rest."
Mo Neng laughed loudly, moved his hands, and Ye Lai's body trembled fifty meters away.
It was as if something was pulling him.
"Something is trying to control me."
Ye Lai felt the power emanating from various parts of his body, which felt somewhat familiar to him. He recalled a similar sensation he had experienced with Tan Tong's invisible arm in the murder hospital.
My body is out of control, as if it's being manipulated by something.
Ye Lai's eyes were gilded with a golden light.
This time he saw clearly that, fifty meters away, each of Mo Neng's fingers was connected to his body by a silk thread.
"You're really amazing. Even ten puppet strings couldn't control you."
Mo Neng sighed, but the more he did so, the more excited he became. More invisible threads flew out from between his fingers and, using the threads that had originally stuck to Ye Lai, climbed onto Ye Lai's body.
[Tier 3 Warrior Class - Puppet Master]
[Second Position Skill - Puppet Manipulation Strings]
It can produce threads from its hands that land on other people, which it can then control, like a marionette.
However, the downside is that it requires a certain amount of preparation time and physical contact.
