Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Lin Yi took the skill scroll of [Energy Activation]. The flowing patterns on the scroll exuded the unique violent aura of the abyss.

His gaze lingered on the scroll for a moment, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Although Lin Yi paid a considerable price for this scroll, it was all worth it.

The power of the Abyss has always been known for its violence and erosion, and this skill scroll is the best among them, and can be called a trump card for turning the tide in desperate situations.

Dark Crow took the pile of items handed over by Lin Yi and sighed with a complicated expression.

He knew that from this moment on, he would embark on a road full of thorns - the ancient god system.

Although there are few competitors on this road, each of them is a tough guy.

The power system of the ancient gods has always been one where the winner takes all, and the weak can hardly get even the leftovers.

Dark Crow is well aware that every step he takes in the future will be like walking on thin ice, and if he is not careful he will be completely swallowed up by his competitors.

Now that they had obtained the things, Dark Crow and Black Axe said goodbye and prepared to leave. Although they had gathered the main items for the ceremony, those auxiliary materials would also require a lot of time and energy to collect.

Time is running out and they must act quickly.

Before leaving, Dark Crow settled the bills for Lin Yi and the Ancient Tavern.

Although the two of them don’t have much money now, as seventh-level contractors, Paradise Coins are not a big problem for them.

What really gives them a headache is the soul coin, which is what they really need.

"Gu Lao, thank you very much this time." Lin Yi put away the scroll and nodded to Gu Lao.

It is not easy to buy items of this level in this reincarnation paradise.

A skill scroll of this level, [Energy Activation], is hard to come by.

Gu Lao waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are lucky, kid, you can come across such good things. However, I have to remind you that the power of the Abyss is not so easy to control. Once it gets out of control and backfires, not even a bone will be left."

Lin Yi looked calm and nodded: "I understand."

Of course, he was aware of the dangers of the Abyss power. The side effects of the Abyss were enough to deter most contractors.

But for him, risks and rewards are always proportional.

Since he has chosen this path, Lin Yi has no intention of backing down.

“I won’t sell these things to anyone else. Just give me a price.” Lin Yi said as he took out two items from the storage space - [SS-level Adventure Team Formation Certificate] and [Grasp of the End].

Although there are few items, each one is a fine product.

Especially when the [SS-level Adventure Team Formation Certificate] appeared, Guda's eyes lit up instantly.

In the Samsara Paradise, this kind of certificate has always been in short supply and there is no problem selling it.

He first picked up the [SS-level Adventure Team Formation Certificate] and looked at it carefully.

Although this is only a legendary item, its actual value far exceeds that of ordinary epic equipment.

In the Samsara Paradise, although there are many adventure groups, only a few can be called top-notch.

The [SS-level Adventure Team Formation Certificate] is the stepping stone to the top team.

For those ambitious contractors, the significance of this certificate is far more than just a prop.

Gu Lao pondered for a moment and began to estimate its value in his mind.

Once this kind of certificate appears on the market, it will inevitably trigger a fierce competition.

After putting down the certificate, the ancient gaze turned to [Grasp of the End].

This is an epic main tank equipment, exuding a thick metallic luster all over.

In the Paradise of Samsara, the equipment for the main tank, mage and technical system have always been the three most expensive categories.

The reason why the main tank and mage's equipment is expensive is simple - they have money.

As the core of the team, the main tank is responsible for absorbing damage, and the quality of his equipment is directly related to the life and death of the entire team; while the mage is the team's firepower output, and powerful spell damage allows them to dominate the battle.

Therefore, the prices of equipment for these two types of professions naturally rise.

As for the technical system, the situation is somewhat special.

The reason why high-quality technical equipment is expensive is not because the technical contractor is so rich, but because other contractors cannot beat him.

In order to avoid being put in a passive position, other contractors began to raise the prices of technical equipment, trying to restrict their development in this way.

Over time, the price of technical equipment has risen to the same level as the main tank and mage.

"[SS-level Adventure Group Credentials] 100 Soul Coins, Fists 40 Soul Coins."

As soon as the ancient quotation came out, Lin Yi's eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He originally estimated that the total price of the two items would be around 100 soul coins, but he didn't expect the value of the [SS-level Adventure Team Formation Certificate] to be so high.

Sure enough, for those high-level contractors, they are willing to pay a high price for any item that can enhance their strength.

"By the way, Gu Lao, do you have any divine bones?" Lin Yi suddenly remembered something and asked.

Gu Lao was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed: "God's bone? That's right, since you can take out the ancient god's seed, it means you have already killed the gods, so it's not surprising to get the god's bone."

Divine bones, an item that is little known among low-level contractors, are not uncommon in the circle of seventh-level contractors.

The strength of a seventh-level contractor is already enough to rival the middle-level gods of the ancient pantheon.

While performing their missions, they often come into conflict with various indigenous gods, religious gods, and even some strange gods.

Over time, divine bones became a circulating item in the seventh-level trading market.

“I do have some divine bones in stock, but they’re not cheap.” Gu Lao said, taking out a piece of bone that exuded a divine aura from the storage space.

"What is the quality of the divine bone in your hand?"

"Epic."

"Okay, so are you going to buy or sell?"

After hearing what Gu Lao said, Lin Yi understood that Gu Lao must have stock.

"If you buy it, what's the price?"

"If you buy it, the price of an epic god bone is 15 soul coins each. This is the market price, and I don't make much money." Gu Lao picked up the wine glass, his tone was very calm.

Lin Yi nodded without hesitation: "Then buy two."

"Okay, here are 110 soul coins and two epic god bones." Gu Lao said, taking out two god bones from the storage space and handing them to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took the divine bone, and then took out the last piece of divine bone from his personal space.

As the three pieces of divine bones came together, they began to gradually dissolve. The complex patterns on the bones seemed to come alive, interweaving and merging with each other.

Finally, the three divine bones turned into a ball of milky white gel, suspended in the air, emitting a rich divine aura.

……

As Lin Yi took out [Amon's Monocle (Replica)] from his personal space, [Miracle of the Gods] began to slowly melt and turned into a milky white halo, enveloping this detection equipment that had been with him for a long time.

[Hint: Amon's Monocle (Replica) - Epic upgrade in progress, estimated to take 6 hours and 11 minutes. ]

"Let's go. Remember to come to me if you find good stuff later." Gu Lao drank the last sip of wine in the glass, then stood up and left the bar.

Gu Lao's mind had already flown to the trading market at this moment. After obtaining the [SS-level Adventure Group Formation Certificate], he had already contacted the leaders of several elite adventure groups.

Lin Yi did not leave in a hurry. He sat in the corner of the bar and listened to Eden's singing quietly.

I have to say, in the Samsara Paradise, being able to witness the appearance of characters that you can only see on the screen is perhaps a different kind of fun.

After a moment, Lin Yi stood up, left the Staff Street, and walked towards the trial field.

【Welcome to the trial field, please select the mode. 】

【Assistance mode/actual combat mode. 】

……

Lin Yi moved his fingers slightly, sliding them down continuously, and soon selected the challenge mode.

[Power of the Grandmaster (Complete)] has been synthesized, and the fragments obtained previously have turned into a complete scroll in Lin Yi's hands.

Now, he only needs a [Proof of Glory] to collect all the items needed to become a Grandmaster. [You have selected the challenge mode and have consumed 5000 Paradise Coins.]

[The challenger is about to enter the technique dojo, and the opponent will be randomly matched. ]

[Transmitting...]

Lin Yi's eyes blurred, and when his vision returned, he was already in a battlefield. The environment here was something Lin Yi had never seen before. It should be the scenery of a certain world.

[Mirror image is being generated. The opponent has been matched: Bertram Eugene. ]

Opposite Lin Yi stood a man wearing worn leather armor.

He had a stubbled face and looked lazy, as if he had no interest in anything.

However, the flesh and blood stains on his leather armor revealed his danger.

Lin Yi didn't need to investigate the opponent's attributes, the Samsara Paradise even marked them out for Lin Yi.

……

"Oh, I didn't expect that I could still come out and move around. Junior, do you have anything to eat?" Bertram Eugene covered his stomach, looking like a homeless man, without the demeanor of a master-level strong man at all.

"Yes." Lin Yi took out a roast chicken and two bottles of beer and threw them at Bertram Eugene.

Bertram Eugene held out his hands, took the food firmly, and devoured it without ceremony.

He eats in a very bold manner and doesn't care about his image at all.

Lin Yi looked at this scene and felt speechless.

This master-level warrior did not behave like a master in his every move. Instead, he looked like a street tramp.

However, Lin Yi did not let down his guard.

He knew clearly that this seemingly sloppy man in front of him was actually a master of close combat, and his strength should not be underestimated.

"It tastes good, thank you." Bertram Eugene wiped his mouth, threw the empty bottle aside, turned his gaze to Lin Yi, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, "Boy, you treated me to a meal, I will be gentle later."

Lin Yi smiled and didn't respond.

For a strong man of this level, fighting has become an instinct, and instinct will not be easily shaken by a meal.

Bertram Eugene's words sounded more like a tease than a promise.

"Are you ready?" Bertram Eugene moved his wrists, and the joints made a "click" sound.

Lin Yi nodded, and the power of the abyss in his body began to activate, surging in his blood vessels like boiling magma.

Since the promotion this time was to close combat master, Samsara Paradise did not give Lin Yi any weapons when teleporting him.

This means that he can only rely on his own fists and feet to compete with this grandmaster-level warrior.

"Let's begin." Before Bertram Eugene finished his words, he rushed over like a cannonball.

His speed was astonishingly fast, and he closed the distance between the two people almost instantly.

Lin Yi's pupils shrank and his body instinctively dodged sideways, narrowly avoiding Bertram Eugene's straight punch.

However, the opponent's fist still brushed his cheek, bringing a burning pain.

"Good response." Bertram Eugene grinned, with a glimmer of approval in his eyes.

But the next second, his attack came again, a sweep straight to Lin Yi's waist, with such force that it seemed to cut Lin Yi in half.

Lin Yi didn't dare to take it head-on. He leaned his body backwards like a bent bow. At the same time, he pushed the ground with his feet and used the reaction force to bounce backwards, quickly distanced himself from Bertram Eugene.

As soon as Lin Yi's toes touched the ground, his body sank slightly like a cheetah and stabilized himself in an instant.

"That's interesting. It seems you are not a pushover." Bertram Eugene's eyes showed more interest.

Finally, when there was a gap in Bertram Eugene's next round of attacks, Lin Yi seized the opportunity, took a step forward, clenched his right fist, and gathered all the strength of his body on the tip of his fist like rivers flowing together, and blasted towards Bertram Eugene's chest.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Lin Yi's fist hit Bertram Eugene's arm heavily, making a dull impact sound.

Bertram Eugene groaned and his body swayed slightly, but he quickly steadied himself.

He looked down at his arm. The place where Lin Yi hit him was slightly red, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"I didn't expect you still have some strength, but..." Bertram Eugene slowly raised his head, a hideous smile on his lips, "This is far from enough!"

Bertram Eugene rose to his feet, and his whole demeanor changed.

Everything that had just happened was just a tentative attack. Now, he was ready to get serious.

This time, Bertram Eugene's attack was no longer just fast and fierce. Lin Yi only felt the figure shaking in front of him. His vision, hearing and even intuition were completely disrupted. He could not predict the direction and timing of the opponent's next attack.

Suddenly, a big hole suddenly exploded in Lin Yi's abdomen! Blood gushed out like a fountain, and severe pain instantly swept through his body.

Bertram Eugene's fist force exploded directly in Lin Yi's body, causing extremely terrible damage.

Lin Yi covered his stomach and took two steps back. The light of the healing spell in his hand flashed, and the wound on his abdomen healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The bleeding stopped and the skin and flesh grew back together.

"A priest? I didn't realize that." When Bertram Eugene saw Lin Yi's healing skills, an amusement look appeared on his face.

His tone was relaxed, as if the attack just now was just a casual act.

But no matter how interested he was, Bertram Eugene never stopped moving his hands.

"boom!"

A stone under Bertram Eugene's feet suddenly broke, and with a snap, large pieces of gravel and dust rushed towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi dodged quickly, but a few pieces of gravel still brushed past his body, tearing his clothes and leaving shallow bloodstains.

Bertram Eugene took this opportunity to throw a hook punch directly into Lin Yi's ribs.

Lin Yi dodged sideways, but Bertram Eugene's punch was too fast and the wind from the fist still hit his body.

Before he could steady himself, Bertram Eugene's other hand had stretched out like a poisonous snake, with five fingers like hooks, heading straight for Lin Yi's throat.

At the critical moment, Lin Yi twisted his body forcefully and avoided the fatal blow at an extremely strange angle.

Bertram Eugene's hand brushed across his neck, leaving a trail of blood, its cold fingertips almost touching his skin.

"Huh, quite a quick reaction." There was a hint of surprise in Bertram Eugene's eyes, but more of it was excitement.

He stomped his feet on the ground, and leaped high up like a cannonball. He spun in the air, put his legs together, and smashed his knees down on Lin Yi's head like a sharp blade.

Lin Yi didn't have time to think about it and quickly crossed his hands to protect his head.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Bertram Eugene's knee hit Lin Yi's arms heavily.

The huge impact force made Lin Yi's knees go weak and he fell directly to the ground.

The ground cracked instantly, and several hideous cracks spread out with him as the center. Dust was flying, as if it had just experienced a small earthquake.

After receiving this blow, Lin Yi felt his arms go numb instantly, as if he was hit by a thousand-pound hammer, and his bones were groaning under the heavy burden.

A strange force penetrated into Lin Yi's body along his arm, like a sharp blade stirring violently in his internal organs.

Bertram Eugene punched out with overwhelming force, heading straight for Lin Yi's face.

This time, Lin Yi did not choose to dodge, but faced Bertram Eugene's fist head-on!

boom!
The two fists collided, and a powerful impact force spread out in all directions with the two of them as the center.

Bertram Eugene turned his body slightly, and with the remaining force of his fist, he kicked Lin Yi's head like a poisonous snake.

Lin Yi quickly lowered his head, and his whip-kick brushed past the ends of his hair, creating a gust of wind.

At the same moment he threw himself forward and clasped Bertram Eugene's legs with his hands.

Lin Yi's whole body strength burst out instantly, and with a twist, Bertram Eugene's body suddenly lost balance and fell backwards.

However, Bertram Eugene had rich combat experience, and even when he lost his balance, he did not panic.

His other foot kicked out like a spring and went straight for Lin Yi's chest.

"boom!"

This kick hit Lin Yi's chest solidly, and the strange force exploded at Lin Yi's heart like a bomb.

The next moment, Lin Yi disappeared from the trial field. (End of this chapter)
