Xu Yan raised his palm, and a wisp of flame flew out from his palm.

The next moment, a large ball of fire appeared out of thin air from the huge undead skeleton, wailing and turning into ashes.

A trace of solemnity flashed in Kroof's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Xu Yan warily.

Even though I tried my best, I couldn't find a way to kill this monster.

But as soon as Xu Yan arrived, he easily defeated this opponent.

This made Croft feel uneasy.

He recognized Xu Yan's identity, but this did not make him feel any less uneasy.

Within the Virtual Universe Company, the relationship between geniuses is competition, not cooperation.

It's okay in the secret realm, there are rules and regulations.

But in the mission world, there are no constraints, and it is normal to fight with each other and do evil things.

Sometimes there is even no need for any reason such as seizing the treasure. The mere competition between them is enough to be a reason to kill.

Seeing Xu Yan showing strength that far exceeded his own, Kroff was naturally uneasy, fearing that Xu Yan would suddenly take action.

After a slight hesitation, Croft took the initiative and said with a hint of temptation: "Thank you for your help. I am willing to pay you a treasure worth 100,000 points as reward, okay?"

Although, even if Xu Yan didn't take action, Kroff would still be sure to save his life.

Kroff can't kill the skeletal undead creature, but the skeletal undead creature can't kill Kroff either. It's not difficult for him to escape.

But since Xu Yan takes action once, it cannot be without any benefits.

One hundred thousand points is certainly nothing to top geniuses like Kroff and Xu Yan, but for just one random shot and not a desperate effort, the reward of one hundred thousand points is not too small.

If Xu Yan is willing to accept this reward, it means that he is not here for him, and Croft can feel a little relieved.

"Forget about the reward." Xu Yan looked at Croft, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes: "There are two special treasures in the Prison Battlefield, 'Essence of Resentful Spirits' and 'World Source', which one did you get?"

Hearing that Xu Yan didn't want any reward, Kroff subconsciously felt cold in his heart.

But when he heard the second half of Xu Yan's words, he was stunned on the spot.

He obtained a special treasure in the "Prison Battlefield" and after its fusion, his strength increased greatly. This was a secret that Croft had hidden for more than ten years.

That special lump of pitch-black and viscous liquid, Croft had to research it for a long time afterwards, only to find out that it was called 'Wraith Essence'.

But I didn't expect that Xu Yan could see it at a glance?

His lips wriggled a few times, and Croft said solemnly: "It's the 'Wraith Essence'. I fused it into a ball about the size of a fist."

"Integrate directly into the body?" Xu Yan understood: "No wonder your body's aura is so strange."

Kroff's aura is indeed a bit strange.

Although he couldn't tell what was strange specifically, and even those with weaker eyesight couldn't tell it at all, but Xu Yan was certain that Croft's situation was definitely abnormal.

If it is related to the 'essence of resentful spirits', then it would be understandable.

Although this thing is indeed extremely valuable, it is not a directly refined treasure like 'Blood Luo Crystal' or 'Original Blood Essence'.

Instead, they are materials used to forge divine weapons and even heavy treasures.

——Of course, to create a heavy treasure requires a huge amount of 'Wraith Spirit Essence'. Even if this 'Prison Battlefield' accumulates hundreds of millions of epochs, it may not be able to accumulate the amount required for a heavy treasure.

Incorporate weapons-making materials into the body?

It would be strange if there is no problem!

Originally, Xu Yan thought that Kroof had walked a special 'path'.

But now it seems that this is not a ‘Tao’, it is directly leading to a dead end!

Although in the short term, Croft's strength has indeed been greatly improved.

But if you take a longer-term view, Croft's future ceiling will definitely be greatly affected, and it will even be difficult to achieve immortality.

"Let me remind you one thing, the 'Essence of Resentful Spirits' cannot be integrated into the body unless you plan to refine your body into a weapon. Your time to integrate the 'Essence of Resentful Spirits' is still short, and it is still too late to find a solution now.

Hold on, and when the aura of the 'Essence of Resentful Spirits' is completely integrated with your soul, even if you give up your current body and take another life, it will be too late."

Xu Yan reminded him, changed the topic, and said: "Also, the treasures on the prison battlefield belong to me. If you leave now, I won't kill you. If you continue to stay here and are touched by me again, don't blame me if you die.

.”

After saying that, regardless of Kroof's reaction, he left directly and flew towards the special area where the 'Wraith Essence' and 'World Source' were produced.

If Croft had listened to him obediently, he could still have saved his life, and he could even find a way to solve the side effects of the 'Wraith Essence'.

If he didn't listen to his 'admonition', then he deserved to die.

Kroff stood there, his expression suddenly changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After hesitating for a long time, Kroff finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and left in the opposite direction to Xu Yan.

In that direction is the passage leaving the ‘Prison Battlefield’.

…

virtual universe.

Xu Yan and Luo Feng have been teleported to a square in the 'Primitive Area'.

Six universe-level geniuses from the original area are scattered throughout the square.

"The original zone universe-level qualification battle is about to begin, everyone gathers!"

A man wearing a purple uniform appeared high in the sky, and his voice sounded like thunder, reaching the ears of the six geniuses below.

The six of them looked at each other and immediately rose into the sky and flew in front of the man in purple.

Three ‘old men’.

Fito, Sima Yan, Moro.

Three ‘newcomers’.

Xu Yan, Luo Feng, Bo Lan.

The expressions of several people are different.

Xu Yan and Bo Lan both looked indifferent. The former was confident and ignored all opponents, while the latter knew that he had no chance at all, so he naturally had no pressure.

Luo Feng and Fito showed confidence, believing that they could definitely stay in the original secret realm.

Only Sima Yan and Mo Luo had a vague uneasiness hidden under their seemingly fighting expressions.

Of the six people, only two can be left, and the remaining four have to compete with the top three in Taichu District for the only spot.

This elimination rate is too scary.

After all, the strength gap between the original secret realm geniuses is still very small. In a real fight, the outcome will still depend on on-the-spot performance.

"The rules are simple."

The man in purple uniform said expressionlessly: "Six of you, fight each other separately. The virtual universe system will randomly arrange the order of fighting. A victory will be worth one point, and a defeat and a draw will not be scored. After all the fights are completed, the ranking will be based on points.

, the top two can stay directly in the original secret realm. The bottom four will compete with the top three in Taichu District again to compete for the last spot in the original secret realm."

The rules are indeed in line with the consistent tradition of Virtual Universe Company, being simple and crude.

Without leaving much time for them to think, the man in purple uniform said directly: "The game starts now!"
Chapter completed!
