Lin Shunan strolled leisurely into the players' waiting area.

The waiting area for the contestants was very large, and it housed not only Human Race, but also Demon Race had just finished their matches, as well as Beastfolk watching the game.

At this moment, the outside world was in complete chaos because of the appearance of the Spirit Treasure.

Therefore, no one cares about the elite contestants from all ethnic groups in this hall anymore.

"Isn't this a traitor to Human Race? What are you doing here?"

"Could it be that they're thinking of coming to join us?"

"Oh dear, we can't accept that!"

"How about you bark like a dog a couple of times? Maybe we'll like it and consider keeping you... Huh?"

Crimson Chain suddenly shot out and wrapped around the neck of the Beastfolk who had spoken last.

Then, with a forceful swing, he was thrown around!

"Bang!"

Dust billowed, and the thick stone wall was instantly pierced, revealing the waiting area for the beginner contestants on the opposite side.

Crimson Chain nimbly dragged the Beastfolk back to Lin Shunan's side, and incidentally demolished most of the wall.

"Ho... ho... ho..."

Suspended in mid-air by Crimson Chain that resembled tentacles, the Beastfolk gasped for breath like a dead dog.

The contestants from the three races around them were stunned into an eerie silence.

Something's not right; his aura is far too fierce!

A ferocious killing intent emanating from the Predators swept through the hall, chilling all the contestants to the bone, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

The silence was broken by the Beastfolk who was hanging up.

His will to survive caused him to briefly unleash power surpassing the Fifth Realm.

He struggled with all his might, but he could not break free of the thin red rope around his neck.

The fluctuations in Psychic Energy startled all the contestants present.

"He's just a Fifth Realm Peak, what's there to be afraid of!"

"Damn it, this kid fooled me!"

"We're going to teach you a lesson today!"

The panicked contestants shouted to bolster their courage, but overlooked one thing.

Is Lin Shunan, who could easily subdue someone at the Fifth Realm Peak, truly still at the Fifth Realm Peak?

Looking at the rabble charging towards him, Lin Shunan sighed.

He first snapped the Beastfolk's neck to stop him from struggling.

Then, several smaller, Bikaku limbs emerged from behind him, and he spun around, sweeping the Bikaku horizontally.

The first attack brought the Fourth Realm and Fifth Realm cultivators to a halt by a tremendous force.

Using the momentum from the spin, Lin Shunan seamlessly followed up with a second sweeping attack.

This time, without the force of their forward momentum to counteract it, everyone was pushed back.

"No... who... who are you?"

Someone belatedly asked the question, their voice filled with fear and despair.

But he was destined never to find the answer.

Lin Shunan was too lazy to waste his breath on trash.

With just two strikes, he gained the upper hand, surrounding a group of people all by himself.

But clearly, judging from his gloomy face, he was not satisfied with the result.

It's understandable, though. After all, anyone who unleashed power far exceeding that of a fifth -Fifth Realm cultivator, only to fail to kill one in two strikes, would feel cheated.

Oh, no, at least I managed to kill one in my hand.

As Shisui stealthily approached the mountaintop, he controlled Lin Shunan's body.

The defenses at the mountaintop were quite tight, so he needed to stay put for a while. He only started playing with remote control out of boredom.

It was because Lin Shunan's Rc Cells proliferated rapidly during the match that he was able to connect successfully.

However, although the body's Rc Cells content met the standard, its strength was insufficient.

If things remain the same, the maximum strength one can exert is only the early stage of the Seventh Realm.

Shisui's brain was working at high speed, controlling Lin Shunan's body to expand and mutate.

The original Lin Shunan was gradually devoured by Rc Cells, replaced by a twisted tentacle monster.

"Roar!"

The monster made of Rc Cells charged toward the fresh, fleshy creature not far away.

In the chaos of the battle, the two puppet Demon Race quietly retreated and disappeared into the exit passage.

The other contestants didn't notice their departure; after all, just defending against the monster's attacks was difficult enough.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, the Crimson Chain made of Rc Cells snapped one of the men's weapons in two.

Then, Crimson Chain slammed down without any resistance, breaking the man's ribs.

Before this unfortunate man could even fall to the ground, the next victim followed.

The players were eliminated in less than two minutes, like wheat being harvested.

Through Lin Shunan, Shisui was slowly gathering the corpses scattered on the ground and merging them into this body.

"Um?"

However, when he was halfway through the fusion, he counted and found that two Human Race Fourth Realm were missing.

It seems to be a man and a woman, and their talents are probably both related to fire.

But Shisui recalled that he hadn't bothered to remember what these "snacks" were called or what they looked like.

Forget it, it's just the Fourth Realm. We can always go and capture others.

He completely forgot that one of them was even a "witness" he had chosen during the previous unified examination.

Moments later, all the flesh and bones turned into nutrients for culturing isolated Rc Cells.

The huge waiting area was now filled only with writhing, dark red mountains of flesh.

The mountain of flesh trembled and twisted in place, first gradually shrinking, then becoming smooth and flat.

Then, as if being kneaded by an invisible hand, it slowly grew limbs and a head.

Finally, the mountain of flesh reverted to Lin Shunan and strode away towards the exit.

"Huff... huff..."

Ye Luo nimbly leaped over the hurried residents, running through the streets shrouded in spiritual mist.

Running caused her lungs to exhale hot air, which burned her trachea.

She was clearly a Third Realm awakener, but at this moment her running posture was distorted, and her head was dizzy from the lack of oxygen during the long run.

There was no one else behind her, but she still couldn't stop, she dared not stop.

Because she knew that two Beastfolk at the Fifth Realm Peak were secretly hunting her.

Those two Beastfolk were E'erbo and Tangtai Norton.

They drove their target forward at a leisurely pace, trying to squeeze out as much of the last bit of Psychic Energy from her body as possible.

Ye Luo ran desperately, clutching the Recording Device, until one moment she saw "Lin Shunan" waving at her.

She excitedly went to the side of someone she knew, her throbbing brain making it impossible for her to think about why Senior Lin was there.

"Phew... Lin... Senior..."

"Don't speak yet, I'll take you away."

"Lin Shunan" grabbed her wrist and led her into a side alley.

They went further and further astray.

The two stopped when there was no one else around.

"Phew... Thank you, senior," Ye Luo said, struggling to catch her breath. "Can you let go of me now?"

"No, that won't work."

She finally realized, belatedly, that something was wrong.

Before the resistance even began, a massive surge of energy flowed into her body from where "Lin Shunan" was holding her.

That energy wasn't Psychic Energy, but something far more violent and ferocious.

Lin Shunan's body visibly deflated, like a balloon being bleed out.

Before "Lin Shunan" burned out, the two Beastfolk also appeared.

They moved closer, one of them restraining Ye Luo's shoulder, and simultaneously transferring their Rc Cells to the immobile Ye Luo.

At this moment, Ye Luo had no time to resist; excruciating pain swept over her like a tsunami, instantly engulfing her soul.
