Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

After Lin Xiao crushed the fake reel, it turned into a mist that drifted into the sky.

"This guy's got guts! The Ever-Changing Ring, pinpointing Li Yuan!"

Lin Xiao's anger surged, and waves of killing intent unconsciously surfaced within him.

In an instant, the ever-changing ring projected an image of Li Yuan into Lin Xiao's mind.

Lin Xiao closed his eyes and focused his gaze, immediately spotting a figure that appeared somewhat fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

In his hand, however, was a scroll that truly boosted his talent level.

Lin Xiao immediately recognized that the scroll in Li Yuan's hand was the real one!

Meanwhile, Li Yuan was holding a scroll about improving talent levels and talking non-stop. However, since he couldn't hear the person being monitored, Lin Xiao could only see Li Yuan's lips moving, but it probably wasn't anything good.

"Hmph! How interesting, you're the first one!"

Lin Xiao glared angrily at Li Yuan, then manipulated a continuous stream of vines to sprout from under Li Yuan's feet, instantly wrapping around his wrists, waist, ankles, and neck, binding him tightly into the shape of the Chinese character "太".

Seeing the terror on Li Yuan's face, Lin Xiao manipulated the earth, conjuring three words in front of Li Yuan: "You're finished!"

Li Yuan watched this scene in horror and tried his best to break free, but the vines tightened more and more.

"I was wrong, brother, I was wrong! I'll trade you the talent level upgrade scroll right now!"

Li Yuan kept sending Lin Xiao private messages apologizing, but Lin Xiao didn't reply to a single one.

The scroll had already fallen to the ground when the vines entangled Li Yuan.

Lin Xiao located Li Yuan using the Ever-Changing Ring and discovered that to reach Li Yuan's location, he needed to jump through 103 territories.

"Hmph! Only 103 territories!"

Lin Xiao stepped forward and appeared at the door of the house in a flash. With another flash, he left the street and was out of Wood Soul City in a dozen seconds.

After leaving Wood Soul City, Lin Xiao's speed reached its peak.

Using the positioning function of the Ever-Changing Ring, they quickly headed towards the border of the Wood Soul Domain.

"Whoosh!"

Without even looking, he plunged into the barrier that separated the Wood Soul Domain.

The next 103 territories are all ordinary survivor territories. Two of these territories belonged to survivors who have died and have become nests for mist creatures.

However, Lin Xiao ignored the situation in the two territories and continued to speed up, rushing towards the territory where Li Yuan was.

Along the way, Lin Xiao even found a treasure chest on the road in a certain territory. Without even looking at what was inside, he opened the chest and put the contents into his system inventory.

Without stopping, they arrived at the edge of Li Yuan's territory.

In less than an hour, Lin Xiao had traversed 103 territories and arrived at Li Yuan's territory.

Lin Xiao saw Li Yuan with his limbs bound, and Li Yuan stared in disbelief at Li Yuan, who had just revealed himself.

"Indeed, the Five Elements Positioning Compass is the most suitable for me; it has transformed the random teleportation of the surrounding barrier into reliable, fixed teleportation!"

"Li Yuan, how was your time this past hour?"

Lin Xiao appeared in front of Li Yuan. Li Yuan looked at Lin Xiao in fear, feeling the intense killing intent emanating from him.

"I was wrong, please let me go..."

The vines binding Li Yuan carried a trace of toxin, leaving him utterly powerless.

"snort!"

Lin Xiao ignored Li Yuan and went to Li Yuan's side first, picked up the talent level upgrade scroll that had just fallen from his hand, and handed it to the main body.

"Deconstruction!"

'Deconstruction Talent Level Up Scroll: Estimated time required: one month.'

"As expected! This is the real one!"

Lin Xiao put the talent level upgrade scroll into his system inventory and turned to look at Li Yuan.

"How did you obtain this thing? Depending on your specific answer, you might survive!"

Seeing Lin Xiao's threatening tone, Li Yuan hurriedly replied, "I bought this from a spirit merchant in my area."

"I accidentally obtained 8000 Source Crystals from a treasure chest, and with the ones I had saved up before, I had 1 Source Crystals. So I used the flyer that the Spirit Merchant gave me to summon the Spirit Merchant."

"After that, I bought this talent level upgrade scroll."

Lin Xiao's Judgment Leaf effect did not cause any vibration, which means that everything Li Yuan said so far is true.

"Oh, really? So, was it something you planned all along—that you swallowed 5 of my Source Crystals and deceived me? Or was it just a sudden inspiration?"

"Uh... it was a sudden inspiration, a sudden inspiration! When I got the talent level upgrade scroll, I was about to trade it to you when the idea of ​​getting both the item and the money just came to mind!"

"Buzz..."

The Leaf of Judgment trembled, and a slight smile appeared on Lin Xiao's lips. In other words, it was estimated that Li Yuan had already had the idea of ​​deceiving him from the moment Lin Xiao issued the bounty.

"Oh... so it was a spur-of-the-moment decision! Then can I have my 5 Source Crystals back? Of course, as punishment for deceiving me, I'll accept this Talent Level Upgrade Scroll!"

"Of course, of course, I'll refund the 5 Source Crystals to you right away!"

Li Yuan frantically manipulated the Mist System, returning the 5 Source Crystals to Lin Xiao.

"That was quick. So, one last question: how exactly did you manage to deceive the trading system of the Mist System?" This was the question Lin Xiao most wanted to know.

"This..." Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, but then saw Lin Xiao raise her hand as if his head was about to roll, and hurriedly answered.

"It's because of my talent!"

[Counterfeiting, Rank A talent, capable of producing counterfeits of any item. Counterfeits lack the capabilities of genuine products, but can deceive fourth-tier creatures.]

"Although the talent wasn't explicitly stated, I discovered by chance that it could deceive the system to a certain extent, so I..."

Lin Xiao suddenly realized that this matched his guess; after all, only talent could create all sorts of wonders.

"Your answer is good. You can climb down from the vines now."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he waved his hand to untangle the vines, and then his figure disappeared instantly.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this? And how did he find me?!"

Li Yuan moved his wrist, which was somewhat lacking in blood flow, while cursing Lin Xiao incessantly.

"boom!"

A ball of green flame shot out from the void, instantly igniting Li Yuan. Before Li Yuan could even let out a scream, he was burned and corroded to nothing.
