High-level martial arts: I can choose Hextech equips.

Fine flashes of lightning danced in the corners of my eyes, and the lake beside me suddenly erupted into huge waves.

Large patches of moiré patterns appeared before Lin Shuxuan's eyes.

Enemy attack!

The extraordinary ability of the Thunder-Driving Apostle, is it Tang Hao? But why didn't the future vision give any hints...? Without time to ponder the questions in his mind, Lin Shuxuan threw a punch.

The expected resistance did not come; the fist shattered the attacker's sternum, producing a sickeningly painful sound of bones grinding together.

So weak...

The attacker leaped out of the lake, revealing a face painted with camouflage.

The battle pattern paint, worth 100 points, can be applied to the body to avoid being detected by martial artists; the opponent had been lying in ambush underwater for a long time, using the effect of the paint to hide his figure.

He shattered the assassin's sternum with a single punch, but the assassin seemed completely unaware.

He was willing to risk injury to stab Lin Shuxuan's arm with the bone spur in his hand.

With a light sweep of his arm, he took the assassin's bone spikes into his hand.

It is about 15 centimeters long, with a sharp tip and slightly transparent bone spurs, through which liquid can be seen rolling.

Lin Shuxuan had noticed this weapon; it clearly had major flaws, yet its price was ridiculously high, requiring a full 500 credits to purchase.

The reason is that the ecological toxins at the head can be injected into the opponent's body, and once infected, it is extremely complicated and troublesome to treat.

With advanced modern technology, there is a mature medical system for physical injuries such as fractures, and the cost is very low; however, ecological toxins are not included in this category, requiring a relatively long treatment course and more expensive costs.

It can be described as harming others without benefiting oneself to the extreme.

No one would do this without a deep-seated grudge.

With a single punch, the assassin's facial bones were shattered, and the Crystal Fire Bracers emitted a tremendous heat wave that even charred his hair.

He immediately bent his knees and then shot out like a cannonball.

This was definitely Tang Hao's doing. His team ambushed here. If the enemy he was facing was so weak, then the real danger was obviously with Ye Lingyue and Hai Lanlan.

My body suddenly felt light, as if I were walking on waves.

This is the vast and blue realm of the waves. Although the extraordinary path of the Water Pact Walker cannot improve his combat power, his auxiliary abilities are terrifying.

According to the Federation's tests, this enhancement allows ordinary martial artists to fight against extraordinary experts to a certain extent.

The distance of several dozen meters passed in an instant, but all that could be seen was Tang Hao's departing figure.

The speed was extremely fast, clearly indicating that the Thunder Apostle had activated its overload.

With his legs slightly lowered and his waist arched like a bow, Lin Shuxuan aimed at Tang Hao's back and fiercely flung out the bone spur he had just snatched.

The bone spur seemed to be lifted up by the waves, followed by a loud, piercing explosion.

It pierced straight through Tang Hao's dark heart.

His fleeing figure suddenly sank, almost falling to the ground.

But it still leaped away and quickly disappeared from sight.

Lin Shuxuan did not give chase. The Overload ability of the Thunder Apostle could greatly enhance physical fitness, and if the opponent was determined to escape, he might not be able to catch up.

He had fought Tang Hao before and knew how troublesome the strong on this path were.

Lin Shuxuan recalled his first battle with Tang Hao.

He used Overload four times in the short 15-minute battle, forcing him to fight with both fists. He only won when the negative effects of Overload accumulated.

But Tang Hao wasn't faring any better. The bone spur had indeed pierced the other man's heart, and the toxins would spread throughout his body with the flow of blood.

Not to mention that heart damage is a fatal injury in itself.

Trading a weapon worth 500 points for this attack isn't a bad deal.

He quickly checked on Ye Lingyue's condition, as she had been under the most pressure when facing Tang Hao and another assassin alone.

Hai Lanlan escaped disaster because she was eating wild fruit far away.

"Are you alright?"

Lin Shuxuan asked, then noticed that Ye Lingyue looked a little uneasy, with her left hand behind her back, fidgeting and avoiding his gaze.

Without a word, he grabbed her hand, and a bright green wound was clearly visible on her arm.

The granulation tissue writhed like maggots.

A silvery light shimmered at the wound, but the effect was not obvious.

The infection period was not long, but the deterioration rate was very fast.

If Ye Lingyue hadn't been a powerful expert in the Transcendent Realm, her injuries would have been even more severe.

Hai Lanlan also put her hand over, and with the echoing sound of waves, the 'wound' calmed down a lot.

"How are you feeling now?" Lin Shuxuan asked again.

Ye Lingyue tilted her head and thought for a moment:

"I feel much better now. My arm felt like I was about to give birth just now."

"How old are you? Do you even know what it feels like to give birth? And you use this analogy..." Considering the current situation, Lin Shuxuan swallowed his sarcastic remark.

She was probably referring to ecological erosion, where that part of the skin and flesh almost had its own consciousness.

Ecological disasters are so terrifying that they can give carbon-based products extraordinary vitality.

Food brought into the ecological zone without special treatment will revive within hours.

"It's good that the situation can be contained. Hai Lanlan, you can hold Lingyue's hand from now on. It might be a little tiring for you."

The azure blue tint can be applied through skin contact, resulting in minimal energy expenditure.

The foodie girl nodded emphatically.

Ye Lingyue wanted to refuse, but Lin Shuxuan casually said, "It might leave a scar," and then fell silent.

On the other hand, reducing the severity of the wound can also reduce treatment costs. Ye Lingyue had just given him a wristband, and he was short of money at the time.

Tang Hao was definitely in a worse state. That bone spur pierced his heart, and the thought of the strange changes that would occur in a heart eroded by the ecosystem was chilling.

He was worried that he hadn't had a chance to act up for a long time.

But the feeling of being attacked from behind at any time is awful, especially with a behemoth like the Tang family backing you up.

Lin Shuxuan had a premonition that the upcoming battle at the base would be the time to settle all the scores between the two sides.

It's still too slow... Lin Shuxuan wished he could skin Tang Hao alive and tear him apart right away. Waiting until the death battle at the base a month later was really unpleasant.

Is there any other way...?

But there is something even more important.

Why didn't Future Vision react at all to Tang Hao's sneak attack?

Since this concerned his biggest advantage at this stage, Lin Shuxuan dared not be careless.

After a moment of deep thought, he gradually came to a conclusion.

Future Vision Hextech refers to the ability to foresee the opponent in the next deadly battle, as well as parts of the battle.

But the enemy he faced this time was obviously weak, not strong enough to attract Hextech's attention. Tang Hao fled as soon as they made contact, so it couldn't even be considered a battle.

That is why Hextech did not provide any warnings; it could not predict the dangers that would befall those around Lin Shuxuan.

If the system had thoughts, he really wanted to give it a good beating.

Over-reliance on this Hextech gun sometimes led him into unnoticed traps.

Tang Hao's ability to lay an ambush in advance clearly indicates that he knew the location of Tang Hao's landing and deduced Tang Hao's next location based on his strategy, thus setting up the ambush ahead of time.

To avoid this situation, we'll have to ask Gong Yuan for help...

After excavating the random items near the lake, the reward reached 1864 points.

The most expensive loot was a fist-sized, light blue mineral. It wasn't expensive per gram, but its enormous size made it worthwhile.

As the competition threshold continues to rise, the benefits of internally allocated resources are also increasing.

Lin Shuxuan estimates that his personal earnings per game can reach around 2000 points.

As time goes on, the rewards from the competition will increase.

The foodie girl was startled by the heavy weight as she placed the ore into Hai Lanlan's backpack.

They continued their advance into the next resource zone.

......

The air in the military academy's affiliated hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Lin Shuxuan and his two companions waited in the waiting area for their numbers to be called.

The match ended, and the winnings reached 8749 points, which is quite considerable.

Not only are the supplies much better, but the equipment of the participating students is also much better now, and the rewards for defeating them are extremely high.

Even if the three of them split the profits equally, they would still gain nearly 3000 points.

Even so, they have no special privileges in the hospital; they have to wait in line for the doctors and nurses to call their numbers.

The Federal Military University Affiliated Hospital is the best hospital in the entire Federation.

This is why many of them were officers who had been wounded on the front lines and were transferred back.

Although, according to Lin Shuxuan's assessment, the other party should have only suffered minor scratches, he was admitted to a privileged ward by cutting in line because of his injury.

Ye Lingyue was almost there, but a slick-haired officer with a thick medical form suddenly interrupted her and started talking to her for almost half an hour before she came out.

Instead, Ye Lingyue comforted him, saying there was no need to rush, as he didn't feel any signs of labor in his arm.

Just when Lin Shuxuan was about to lose control, a nurse with a cold expression came to them.

"Who is Ye Lingyue? Come in."

The nurse noticed her silver hair and asked with some surprise:

"People from the Ye family? Why aren't they using the special passage?"

Lin Shuxuan was speechless. He hadn't thought of that, and Ye Lingyue didn't say anything either.

Stepping into the consultation room, one is immediately struck by the sophisticated instruments, which possess a technological aesthetic and are even more complex than those in the Xinhai City Hospital.

There is absolutely no room for doubt about the medical resources of military academies.

The kind-faced old man placed Ye Lingyue's arm under the instrument, looked at it for a few moments, and comforted her:

"The damage from the ecological virus is fortunately superficial, and the treatment is very considerate."

The old man paused, then sighed.

"There was a young man just now, it was really shocking. The virus was injected directly into his heart, and his whole body was infected. He looked almost horrible. I don't know how long he will need to be treated, but he just went out."

"If you ask me, the school should ban this kind of weapon; it's just causing us unnecessary trouble."

The old doctor directed Ye Lingyue to walk towards a machine that resembled a giant egg.

The treatment then started, and with a flash of light, it ended.

"The initial cleaning has been done; a follow-up check-up will be done in two weeks. Avoid strenuous activity during this time. Turn right after you leave to pay the bill."

The wound has indeed become much shallower.

The treatment process was more complicated than Lin Shuxuan had imagined; Tang Hao had indeed come prepared.

With the Federation's deadly battle approaching, this toxin will not only consume an extra amount of credits, but it will also affect the upcoming battles, weakening combat power, which is equivalent to reducing the resources that can be collected.

The impact is considerable.

He told Ye Lingyue to take care of herself and then walked towards Gong Yuan's office.

......

Across the large desk, Gong Yuan listened to what he had to say with a stern expression.

"So, you believe someone sold your competition entry coordinates to Tang Hao, allowing him to ambush you beforehand?"

Lin Shuxuan nodded. It was impossible for Tang Hao to have a vision of the future and know where he would go for every game.

"I will give you an explanation for this matter. If it involves personnel from within the military academy, I will deal with them with the full force of the law."

"What kind of punishment will they receive?"

"The proceeds will be confiscated, the person will be dismissed from their post and never re-employed, and the length of the sentence and whether they will be sent to the army will be determined after investigation."

Gong Yuan paused here.

"You will receive a compensation, but of course, it cannot be converted into credits."

"If you request it, I will have them exiled to the front lines."

"Is your next sentence going to be 'Let them die in their struggle against the ecosystem'?" Lin Shuxuan thought to himself, then waved his hand.

"Let's proceed according to federal law. What I'm more concerned about is how Tang Hao will handle this."

Gong Yuan shrugged, his thick eyebrows slightly raised:

"It will be difficult; at most, he'll be fined. After all, the Tang family is behind him."

Before Lin Shuxuan could even feel disappointed, Gong Yuan added, "

"If you want to get revenge on him, the only way is through channels within the military academy, and you'll have your chance tonight."

"The descendants of the nine clans of the Federation will be having a gathering tonight. As for the method of revenge, you'll find out when you get there. If you'd like to go, I can make an introduction."

I hate riddle tellers... Lin Shuxuan suddenly remembered the doctor's comment. Tang Hao was hurriedly discharged from the hospital, probably to rush to that party.

The deadly battle at the base a month later was far too long. He was going to beat Tang Hao until his Dao Heart shattered, so that he would never dare to act behind Tang Hao's back again.

"I'll go."

The words had barely left his mouth when a vision of the future was revealed.

Beside a card table laden with playing cards, a young man with heterochromatic eyes who bore a resemblance to Tang Hao confronted him; on the other side, Tang Hao, his chest wrapped in bandages, lay helplessly on the card table, his face ashen.

He thanked her and was about to leave when he suddenly saw Gong Yuan's face turn ashen, and he clutched his chest in anguish.

What happened? Wasn't he a powerhouse on par with Guan Yunyang? How could he be so seriously injured...? Before Lin Shuxuan could ask, Gong Yuan slowly explained:

"It's an old injury. I was ambushed by a strange beast in the deep cave, and it's never healed."

Gong Yuan took a few deep breaths, and the cold sweat on his forehead condensed into beads and slowly dripped down.

"That's why I didn't take you as my stepson in the first place."

"Only a few resources in the deep cave can alleviate the injury. After the first year of university, I will take my stepson to explore the deep cave. At that time, your cultivation level will be too low, and you will only be throwing your life away."

He was explaining why he didn't choose me back then... Lin Shuxuan understood. Of course, he wasn't that petty. He only muttered about it a few times at midnight and didn't think about revenge.

"Isn't there any other way? Even the military academy hospital can't cure it?"

Venturing into the deep cave would not only be extremely dangerous, but he would also lose a form of protection within the military academy.

Although Qin Feng is also very strong, he is only a martial arts instructor and lacks real power, so he provides less sense of security than Gong Yuan.

"no way."

Gong Yuan shook his head.

"Unless there is an extraordinary powerhouse capable of accommodating the path of the deep cave, but that is impossible."

"This doesn't seem impossible," Lin Shuxuan thought to himself as he saved up money to accommodate the body in the deep cave.
