Chapter 22 - Evolution System

Qi Chen: ???

He had never expected the system to evolve in this mystic realm!

Previously, the system was only able to detect humans and demon beasts. There were also supplies detected here.

This was a good thing!

Qi Chen didn't hesitate. He immediately ran towards the pile of level two supplies that the system had indicated.

The pile of supplies was inside a small house. It looked like a pile of bones, which were emitting a faint blue light.

Qi Chen pried open the bones, revealing an armor hidden within.

The armor turned into a stream of light and attached itself to his body.

The moment the armor attached itself to his body, Qi Chen could clearly feel that an invisible barrier had appeared on his body.

He opened the system and saw that the attributes on his status had indeed changed.

[Host: Qi Chen]

[Speed: 5.9]

[Defense: 6.9 (Level 2 Armor Defense+1)]

[Attack: 5.9]

Not bad.

Qi Chen nodded to himself. Although his attributes had been weakened due to the mystic realm, his attributes were still top-notch within the range of level-five.

Moreover, since armor could increase defense, there would definitely be weapons to increase attack power.

Without delay, Qi Chen immediately set off in another direction.

[Prompt: Nine hundred meters ahead, one level-two supply pile has appeared!]

[Prompt: Nine hundred meters to the right, one level-one supply pile has appeared!]

[Prompt: Nine hundred meters ahead, one level-three supply pile has appeared!]

[Prompt: Nine…]

Two hours had passed since the start of the trial.

In these two hours, Qi Chen found five piles of supplies.

The level-three supply pile provided a spear, and this spear could also be attached to Qi Chen.

After equipping the spear, Qi Chen felt as if he had grown a pair of invisible hands.

Of course, these hands were only limited to using the weapons.

Apart from the spear, there was also a repeating crossbow and some bottles.

Red bottle can heal injuries, blue bottle can restore stamina, and white bottle can repair the wear and tear of weapons and equipment.

"Interesting…"

Until now, everything that Qi Chen saw was like a game of battle royale.

However, he had yet to encounter any enemies.

The map provided by the mystic realm allowed one to check the status of their teammates. However, it did not indicate their exact location.

It would only provide a direction for the team members in the same team.

From the status bar, Qi Chen's other three teammates were not doing well.

From the looks of it, these three people had encountered other teams and were fighting.

"Ha, so what was that for?"

Qi Chen shook his head. He had no intention of helping them.

After all, these people had abandoned him first.

However, Qi Chen didn't mind taking advantage of the situation.

"Let's go and clean up the loot!"

Qi Chen's eyes flickered as he ran towards his teammates.

At this moment, Qi Chen had a level-two armor, a level-three weapon, and a bunch of medicines on him.

He could totally reap the spoils of the battle.

Under the sand dune.

Goldy clashed with a lion-headed demon beast.

The lion-headed man's true strength was clearly not only at level five, his combat experience was very experienced.

He could use a dagger to suppress Goldy who was wielding a longsword.

As for the other two, the leopard demon was able to fight one against two without falling into a disadvantage, but Snowy's situation was not good.

Snowy was already covered in wounds.

However, she could not leave the battlefield to recover because she was missing a teammate.

If this continues, when Goldy and Snowy lose, this leopard will be killed sooner or later. After these three are killed, it will be the best time for me to attack.

But I can't wait. In less than ten minutes, another team will arrive.

Qi Chen was currently five hundred meters away from where the two groups were fighting.

Meanwhile, nine hundred meters behind him, another team was looting supplies as they walked over.

Forget it, let's give it a try! The bold ones will die from greed, while the timid ones will starve to death!

Qi Chen's small eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Another five minutes passed.

The battle below the sand dune was getting more and more intense. Goldy's throat had already been pierced by the lion-headed man's dagger, and he couldn't rise again.

As for the lion-headed man, due to Goldy's final counterattack, his abdomen was pierced through.

He was hiding at the side, drinking medicine and resting.

He would be able to recover his combat ability in a few minutes.

Snowy was already like an arrow at the end of its flight. The woman fighting her was still attacking fiercely.

As for the leopard demon who was fighting one against two, it could actually faintly gain the upper hand as time passed.

The team behind Qi Chen had already quickened their pace. In another five minutes, they would probably arrive at Qi Chen's current location.

Now!

Qi Chen rolled down the hill towards the lion-headed man who was healing.

The distance of three hundred meters was only a few breaths' time for Qi Chen.

Shadow Kill!

Under the scorching sun, Qi Chen's figure turned into a black mist and he was almost invisible.

The lion-headed man who had just drunk a mouthful of the red potion sensed that something was wrong and instinctively rolled to the side.

He narrowly avoided Qi Chen's fatal attack.

As a result, its left hand was cut off by Qi Chen.

"Damn it!"

The lion-headed man was shocked. There was actually someone who could approach him silently despite being ten meters in his surroundings!

With a murderous look on his face, he waved his heavy broadsword and slashed at Qi Chen!

Shadow Kill failed for the first time. Qi Chen's shock was no less than that of the lion-headed man.

Qi Chen looked at the broadsword that was coming towards him, but he didn't move.

A faint golden glow appeared on his body.

Immovable Mountain!

[Beep! The host's talent has been triggered, Armor of Thorns!]

Bang!

The broadsword struck Qi Chen's body, repelling the tremendous force.

The lion-headed man screamed as blood flowed from his right hand.

Qi Chen took this opportunity to activate Shadow Kill again.

This time, the lion-headed man was unable to dodge and was beheaded by the energy blades.

Blood sprayed out and splattered onto Qi Chen's body, dyeing it a beautiful red.

Qi Chen decisively picked up the items that lion-headed man and Goldy dropped, running off into the distance without looking back.

Everyone was left dumbfounded.

Outside the inheritance tower.

Many spectators who had yet to enter the tower watched the live broadcast from the trial tower. Their reactions were the same as those people.

This egg demon that had yet to hatch… was so powerful!

One must know that the lion-headed man was an expert at level-nine of the Second-Realm!

Although his strength had been suppressed to level five of the First Realm in the mystic realm, his combat experience was no joke.

But now, this expert at the Second Realm was actually killed by an unknown egg demon in a few moves!

"Where did this egg demon come from? How can it be so strong?"

"Could he be the son of a top-notch demon?"

"This demon has the potential to become a Heavenly Demon!"
