Death Train: SSS-level talent right from the start!

"Do you think I'm stupid?! This trial is a kill-or-lose situation. You think you can let me go? Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Dream on!"

Before Pei Hao could finish speaking, he suddenly pulled out a crimson bead from his storage space with his right hand. The bead had fine cracks on its surface and a dark red light surging inside.

He flicked his finger, and the ball shot rapidly towards Linna.

Linna made her judgment the moment the bead appeared. She pushed off the ground with her right foot and moved her body to the right by nearly two meters.

The crimson orb exploded behind her, its dark red light spreading rapidly in all directions. The shockwave ripped several stone bricks off the hall floor, sending fragments flying in all directions.

But Linna's speed far exceeded that of the blast wave.

As she shifted to the side, she swung her longsword in a backhand motion.

The sword energy tore through the air, producing a sharp whistling sound, and sliced ​​across Pei Hao's neck.

"puff--!"

A line of blood appeared on Pei Hao's neck, and dark red blood gushed out from the wound, splashing onto the stone wall behind him and spreading out.

Pei Hao's eyes were still open, the light in his pupils was rapidly fading, and the expression on his face was frozen in the madness and resentment of the last moment.

Lin Na sheathed her sword and stood watching Pei Hao's body slide down the stone wall, finally collapsing into a pool of blood. His limbs twitched a couple of times before he became completely still.

After killing Pei Hao, Lin Na turned around and walked step by step toward Chen Ye.

The hall fell silent, leaving only Lin Wei and her teammate standing there.

Lin Wei's lips moved, as if she wanted to call her sister, but the sound got stuck in her throat and she couldn't get it out.

Linna stopped about three meters away from Chen Ye, the crown on her head gleaming with a subtle luster.

Her gaze swept across Chen Ye's face, then over Wen Ning and Qin Zhaoyang behind him, before returning to Chen Ye.

"I can let you pass this trial. All you need to do is give my sister two pieces of evidence of your sins, and I will let you kill me and complete this trial."

In this trial, only one of her and her sister Lin Wei can survive. If she had known that the Arrogance Trial had this mechanism, she wouldn't have entered it. But now it's too late to say anything.

If she could obtain the six Proofs of Sin from these three, her sister would surely survive this trial in the City of Sin.

Qin Zhaoyang stood behind Chen Ye, his mouth slightly open.

He never expected that this woman, who had just been wreaking havoc, would turn around and start planning an escape route for her sister.

Wen Ning's gaze swept back and forth between Lin Na and Lin Wei, then turned her head to look at Chen Ye.

Chen Ye looked at Lin Na and shook his head slightly: "Even if the trial mechanism increases your strength, you are still no match for me."

Linna's brows furrowed sharply.

Chen Ye continued, "I can give you time to say goodbye to your sister before I kill you. I won't kill your sister either, as long as I get all the Pride of Arrogance from this trial."

"You're that confident?" Linna's tone turned cold, and her fingers tightened slightly around her sword. "In this training ground, my innate abilities and all my attributes have been tripled. You can't possibly be my match here."

"You can give it a try."

Chen Ye raised the Dragon Scale Halberd from his side, the tip pointing towards the ground.

Linna's pupils contracted slightly. She could sense that the young man opposite her was not nervous at all and his attitude was calm and unhurried.

Lin Na stared at Chen Ye for two seconds, her fingers gripping the sword hilt repeatedly tightening and loosening.

Then she felt footsteps behind her.

"sister!"

Lin Wei ran over, her eyes red-rimmed.

The male team member followed.

Lin Na turned her head and reached out to touch Lin Wei's hair: "Xiao Wei, it seems that this is the best I can do for you."

The corners of her mouth curved slightly, the curve carrying an indescribable mix of relief and helplessness: "But being able to kill Pei Hao, it's not a complete loss."

"Sis, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Lin Wei's voice was already trembling with sobs.

"Xiao Wei, listen to me. In this trial, either you kill me to pass, or I kill you all and pass the trial alone. That's the mechanism."

Linna turned her gaze to Chen Ye: "He has already said that once this trial is over, as long as you give him the Proof of Arrogance, he will not make things difficult for you."

Lin Wei's lips trembled violently, and tears finally rolled down her cheeks, dripping onto Lin Na's arm.

Linna didn't say anything more. She took out two black plaques from her storage space and handed them over: "Survive."

Lin Wei's vision was blurred with tears. She reached out, her fingertips trembling violently when they touched the two pieces of evidence of sin, then she gripped them tightly and put them into her storage space.

Her sister gave her the hope of survival, though the hope was slim. Her sister was the highest-ranking member of their group, and she was about to die.

Lin Na turned back to Chen Ye, her gaze returning to its initial coldness: "I hope you keep your word, otherwise I'll haunt you even in death."

Chen Ye nodded slightly: "I said, as long as they produce proof of their arrogance during this trial, I will not make things difficult for them."

The two Proofs of Sin that Linna gave to Lin Wei earlier weren't lacking in their team; this time, they only needed to get four Proofs of Pride.

Linna stared into his eyes for two seconds, as if trying to confirm the truth of his words.

Then she glanced at Lin Wei behind her before turning her gaze back to Chen Ye: "Alright, let's get started. This damn death game can finally end."

Chen Ye didn't say anything more.

The Dragon Scale Halberd twirled in his hand, its tip, glowing with a pale purple light, piercing precisely into Linna's heart.

The gun tip pierced her chest and exited through her back, the whole process clean and efficient, without a single unnecessary movement.

Linna's body stiffened slightly. The dark gold crown on her head began to crack from the edge, the cracks spreading outwards, and the fragments turned into tiny specks of light that dissipated into the air.

"sister--!"

Lin Wei's voice finally burst from her throat, trembling with sobs.

Lin Na turned her head with difficulty, her gaze lingering on Lin Wei's face for a moment, the smile still lingering on her lips.

Then her body tilted backward and fell onto the dark gray stone floor with a dull thud.

The system screen in front of Chen Ye popped up automatically, and lines of text appeared.

[Cleared the Trial of Arrogance, score +1000]

A black token of arrogance floated before him, its surface engraved with crown-shaped patterns.

Chen Ye reached out and put the Token of Arrogance into his storage space, then turned to look at Lin Wei and the male team member: "Give me the Token of Arrogance, and you can leave."

Lin Wei stood there, her gaze fixed on Lin Na's corpse, her shoulders trembling slightly.

The male team member stepped forward, handed the newly acquired Certificate of Arrogance to Chen Ye, and then gently touched Lin Wei's arm.

Lin Wei snapped out of her daze, wiped her eyes with her sleeve, handed over the Token of Arrogance, and then turned and strode towards the now-opened portal.

The male team member followed behind her, and the two figures disappeared one after the other into the light of the portal.

Only Chen Ye, Wen Ning, and Qin Zhaoyang remained in the hall.

Wen Ning glanced at Lin Na's corpse on the ground, then at the now-open portal: "Lin Na was a good older sister, but her younger sister will have a hard time surviving this trial."

Qin Zhaoyang sighed, "Well, she can only hope for the best. But now we have enough evidence of arrogance in our team, and we can have one more."

"Go out."

Chen Ye retrieved the Dragon Scale Ancient Halberd and strode towards the gate of light.

Wen Ning and Qin Zhaoyang quickly followed, and the three of them were swallowed up by the light gate one after another.
