The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

Haha, the wish book worked!

Yang Xuan, oh Yang Xuan, I've let you live an extra month, it's time for you to report to the underworld.

Lin Yuan's face was cold.

At the same time, Yang Xuan and Yang Bing were both stunned when they saw that their son's next opponent was Lin Yuan.

Is this Lin Yuan from No. 3 Middle School?

Shouldn't he already be dead?

No, no, no, it must be a coincidence of names. Yes, a coincidence of names. After all, there must be quite a few people named Lin Yuan. It's just a coincidence.

But what if it's not just a case of having the same name?

Yang Bing is over 40 years old and runs a company worth 10 billion yuan, so he is naturally much more far-sighted.

He couldn't help but ponder.

If this really is Lin Yuan, then how could he escape from Old Hei, a level 29 monster, after just completing the novice trial? No, no, no, there was a large pool of blood in Lin Yuan's house. If the dead person wasn't Lin Yuan, then it could only be... Old Hei!

hiss!

Although Lao Hei is useless, his level is still there, and he has been an assassin for several years. Shouldn't he be wearing a full set of black iron armor?

Lin Yuan can kill Lao Hei, so he can kill his own son!

not good!

Yang Bing immediately called his son, but no one answered the first, second, and third times. Finally, on the fourth call, the call was answered.

"Xiao Xuan, you must be careful!" he shouted.

"Dad, what do I need to be careful about?" Yang Xuan asked, puzzled.

"Lin Yuan, your next opponent!" Yang Bing shouted, still very agitated.

Yang Xuan chuckled: "Dad, with my current strength, who do I need to fear?"

Opponents like Sun Ping are extremely rare!

"No, if this person is the Lin Yuan we know, he's definitely not simple!" Yang Bing lowered his voice. "Think about it, he not only escaped from the assassin's clutches, but he might even have killed the assassin himself. His strength is not to be underestimated!"

Yang Xuan was stunned, and said incredulously, "Dad, you mean I can't even beat that poor bastard?"

"impossible!"

"Even if he has an S-rank talent, he simply can't afford a single piece of equipment. Okay, even if he could buy one or two pieces of black iron armor, he definitely wouldn't have the money to upgrade them! Besides, his talent is Shield Mountain, which is defensive. At most, I'll be a little slower at breaking through his defenses, but he can't possibly hurt me!"

Also.

Yang Bing suddenly realized that he might have been worrying too much.

Even if you have an S-level talent, how much power can you unleash without the support of equipment?

So, how exactly did Lao Hei die? Or is Lao Hei even dead?

Yang Bing was also confused. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then you should be careful."

With the referee present, nothing could possibly go wrong.

The worst outcome would be that the son would be defeated.

Although it's a great pity, my son has an A-level talent and is at level 15, so getting into a top-tier martial arts university is definitely not a problem.

"Okay, Dad," Yang Xuan said. "I'm not talking to you anymore. He's already calling my name. I have to go into the battle room."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

Although Yang Bing was still somewhat worried, he could only suppress it.

Surrender without a fight?

That's impossible. The battle room has referees as safety officers, and they are all students from Shanghai Martial Arts University, all of whom are level 50 or above and are dressed in silver armor. How could an accident possibly happen?

So don't worry!

He found the electronic screen broadcasting the battle in Battle Room 3 and stared at it intently.

Is it really that Lin Yuan?

Half a minute later, the two appeared in the battle room almost simultaneously.

One was his son, and the other... was none other than Lin Yuan from No. 3 Middle School!

It really is him!

He really didn't die!

Although he had suspected it beforehand, seeing it with his own eyes still made Yang Bing frown and feel uneasy, as if something terrible was about to happen.

But what could it be?

The worst outcome for my son is defeat and not advancing to the next round.

Inside the battle room.

Yang Xuan looked at Lin Yuan in surprise, frowned, and said unhappily, "You're still alive!"

"Even if you die 100 years from now, I won't die," Lin Yuan retorted, showing no mercy to his enemy.

Yang Xuan grinned: "It's good you're not dead. Then I'll personally send you on your way!"

He didn't believe Lin Yuan had any extraordinary combat power. The reason he didn't die at the hands of the assassin was probably because someone was standing behind him who happened to help him out of a predicament.

We're all newbies, and our levels are what they are. Even if you're one or two levels higher than me, do you have my "top-tier" equipment?

Putting everything else aside, the enhancements to his weapons alone are worth as much as all his equipment.

In the game "Super Star", the competition is all about equipment. But how do you get equipment?

Money!

So, in the end, SuperStar is still a pay-to-win game.

Even if you have S-level talent, you're not as rich as me, so you'll still have to kneel before me!

—Clearly, he had forgotten the lesson he learned from Sun Ping, who had the same talent as him but almost defeated him.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly: "You and your father, along with your uncle and cousin, are all cut from the same cloth! You clearly bullied others by relying on your power, but when you didn't gain anything, you acted like you'd been wronged, and even went so far as to kill someone in a fit of rage!"

"Bullshit!" Yang Xuan shouted immediately. The images and sounds in the combat room were being broadcast live. How could he allow Lin Yuan to "slander" the family like this?

"We just wanted to buy your talent, but you made an outrageous demand. We didn't want it anymore, but you're now clinging to us!"

He turned the tables and accused the victim.

Lin Yuan chuckled. What a shameless person!

Outside, the candidates who had stood next to Lin Yuan in the previous round were all confused.

No, you were so nervous when Yang Xuan almost lost, we thought you were Yang Xuan's friend or family, but it turns out... you're actually enemies?

But why are you so anxious and concerned?

It's completely baffling!

They obviously couldn't guess that Lin Yuan's fear of Yang Xuan losing was simply that he couldn't legally and legitimately kill this person, thus dealing the biggest blow to Yang Bing.

At this point, even the referee couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand: "The battle begins!"

You should get to fighting already, stop with the empty talk.

Lin Yuan smiled and pressed his hand on the back of his hand: "Little Black, come out!"

Suddenly, a giant wolf appeared through the "door".

"Awooo—" Little Black roared to the sky.

"What! A pet?"

"Should we be allowed to have pets at our level?"

"Could his talent be summoning pets?"

"It definitely must be, otherwise there's no other explanation."

"Goodness, the pet is at least Iron-level, which means he has an extra teammate who is fully equipped with Iron gear. It's two against one, there's no way he can lose."

"No, no, no, the Summoner class is inherently very fragile, so as long as you focus on him, you have a real chance of winning."

"Yes, in the SuperStar game, it's all about equipment. If you're not strong yourself, everything else is meaningless."

The onlookers were abuzz with discussion; this was the first pet to appear that day, and it had truly amazed everyone.

The referee was taken aback at first, and wanted to speak, but didn't say anything.

During combat, all items and abilities can be used. If it's truly fair, then everyone should take off all their equipment.

Yang Xuan frowned, not expecting Lin Yuan to summon a pet!

Don't waste time with your pet; if it's going to fight its owner, you must act quickly.

Thinking of this, he immediately drew his sword and charged towards Lin Yuan.

"Die!" he roared, activating his skill and slashing towards Lin Yuan.

His talent grants a 150% damage bonus. When combined with the Seven Star Slash skill, the damage dealt by a single sword strike is not 400% of his strength, but 625%. Skill damage and talent bonuses are multiplicative.

Even with a referee present, he couldn't kill anyone, but he should at least severely injure Lin Yuan!

Damn it, if you sell me your talent, I'll have an S-rank talent instead of an A-rank.

A difference of just one level is like night and day!

With a whoosh, he had already rushed in front of Lin Yuan, his long sword slashing towards Lin Yuan's neck.

On the sidelines, the referee was already on high alert, ready to intervene at any moment.

Lin Yuan smiled and drew his sword.

cut!

With a thud, Yang Xuan was cleaved in two by a single sword strike, his intestines and blood gushing out onto the ground.
