Rescued Again?

"I'm done for!"

Most of Lu Li's focus was on controlling the Soul Soldiers. It was already too late to speed up and flee.

The Soul Soldiers' heavy blow could not kill Chen Hao immediately either.

A desperate situation!

For a moment, Lu Li had even prepared himself for a fight to the death!

But at that moment, a Flame Arrow suddenly entered his field of vision and struck Chen Hao squarely in the shoulder!

The unexpected attack made Chen Hao's movements stall for an instant.

Lu Li seized the opportunity and charged forward instead of retreating!

Since he could not avoid it,

then they would fight to the death!

His right arm immediately transformed into a blade, attacking alongside the Mantis Soul Soldiers!

With two soft, wet sounds, Chen Hao froze where he stood!

"Got him?"

Ignoring his shock, Lu Li quickly twisted his Blade Arm and slashed sideways!

A huge gash opened across Chen Hao's stomach. Blood splattered everywhere, and he completely lost the strength to resist.

"Lu Li!"

Xu Xiao cried out and sprinted toward Lu Li.

Only then did Lu Li realize that Ma Han had fired the Flame Arrow just now.

Had he been saved by this saintly Xu Xiao again?

"Lu Li, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Xu Xiao looked him over from head to toe, her beautiful eyes filled with unconcealable worry.

"Uh, I'm fine... Thanks..."

Although Lu Li could not stand Xu Xiao's saintly heart,

he could not deny that without Ma Han's critical strike just now, he would not have been able to kill Chen Hao.

"What are you thanking me for? I told you, I'm the class monitor. It's my duty to look after my classmates."

Xu Xiao's face reddened slightly.

"Yeah, yeah. The class monitor cares about every student. It's just that Lu Li carries a lot more weight than the rest..."

Ma Han strolled over with his hands behind his head, teasing written all over his face.

"Ma Han! Don't talk nonsense!"

Xu Xiao's face turned even redder.

As if trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, she looked toward Chen Hao.

The Scarred Bald Man was surprisingly tenacious. Despite the huge gash in his stomach, he had not yet breathed his last.

"Wang Chao, put in some effort and go get Wang Xuyan."

Wang Chao leaned over for a look, clearly confused.

"Class monitor, you aren't planning to save him, are you...? This guy even shot Teacher He before. He doesn't look like a good person..."

Xu Xiao frowned and let out a soft sigh.

"Even so, that's still a human life. Go quickly. If Wang Xuyan refuses to come, tell her I'm willing to pay Origin Crystals as compensation."

Wang Chao could not argue with Xu Xiao and could only head back the way he had come.

Xu Xiao still seemed worried, so she said to Ma Han,

"Ma Han, go with Wang Chao. I'm worried it won't be safe for him alone."

Ma Han, who had been about to sit down and rest, froze. Then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Got it, got it. Then please be careful, Class Monitor. Fatty and I might be gone for quite a while. How about an hour? That should be enough, right?"

After saying that, he even gave Lu Li a couple of suggestive chuckles.

"Get lost. Hurry up. If you're late, I'm afraid he won't make it."

Xu Xiao punched Ma Han.

Only after sending both men away did Xu Xiao turn to Lu Li.

Her expression was somewhat strange.

"Lu Li, did you kill Ying Zi'an and Tian Yuhao?"

Lu Li shook his head and crouched beside Chen Hao.

The man's mouth was full of bloody froth, and he was exhaling far more than he was inhaling.

Yet when he saw Lu Li approach, he still glared with all his might, his face full of rage and unwillingness.

As though using every ounce of his strength, Chen Hao threatened,

"Lu Li, right...? Hehe... If I die, the Zhao Family will definitely kill you... Cough, cough..."

"The Zhao Family?"

Lu Li blinked, his expression instantly turning cold.

Seeing this, Chen Hao thought Lu Li was afraid. His face filled with smugness.

"That's right, the Zhao Family! A Player like you... is nothing before a massive force like the Zhao Family... I advise you..."

"Squelch!!"

Before Chen Hao could finish, Lu Li's blade stabbed mercilessly into his mouth!

"Lu Li, you!"

Watching the scene before her, Xu Xiao had never expected Lu Li to be so decisive.

Lu Li did not turn around. He merely spoke to Chen Hao's corpse.

"Don't trouble the Zhao Family with looking for me. One day, I will pay them a visit myself!"

Only after saying that did he turn back to Xu Xiao.

"No. I only killed Tian Yuhao and this Chen Hao. Ying Zi'an was shot dead by Chen Hao."

Xu Xiao was a little disoriented.

Was it really appropriate to kill someone right in front of her, then calmly recount the facts with a straight face?

Could a normal person be this calm?

At that moment, Xu Xiao found Lu Li very unfamiliar.

It was as if he had already struggled through the dark apocalypse for a long time,

rather than being, like her, a student who had only just experienced the apocalypse's arrival.

Ignoring the stunned Xu Xiao, Lu Li bent down again and activated Soul Devour on Chen Hao's corpse.

[Devoured the soul of a Lv.4 Player. Soul Points +8]

[Plundered ability—Bloody Slaughter (Platinum)]

[Preserve soul consciousness? (Yes/No)]

Lu Li hesitated for a while before ultimately choosing to preserve Chen Hao's consciousness.

He would definitely destroy the Zhao Family.

Whether it was the open and covert struggles of his previous life, or the bloody enmity of this life that had yet to surface.

As a member of the Zhao Family, Chen Hao might prove useful in the future.

Even if Chen Hao refused to cooperate then, it would not be too late to erase his consciousness.

Next, Lu Li devoured Tian Yuhao's soul as well.

This time, there was no option to preserve consciousness, and it only gave him 1 Soul Point.

After looting the three corpses clean, Lu Li walked over to the Treasure Chests.

Two blood-red Slaughter Chests and seven pitch-black Level-up Chests.

Lu Li rubbed his hands together. Not caring that Xu Xiao was still watching, he directly opened the chests.

The seven Level-up Chests gave Lu Li a total of fourteen Second-Order Mana Crystals.

Including the four Ying Zi'an had opened earlier, Lu Li now possessed an astonishing eighteen Origin Crystals.

But even so, Lu Li did not absorb a single one.

He merely stuffed the Origin Crystals into his pocket and walked over to the two Slaughter Chests.

Treasure Chests with a chance of producing Mythic equipment!

Let's see what luck brings!

Full of anticipation, Lu Li opened the first chest.

When he saw what was inside, his expression immediately became strange.

There really was an item in the Treasure Chest.

And it was equipment.

But this equipment... was fucking wrong somehow!

It seemed... to be a skirt?!

Lu Li took the pink plaid skirt from the chest and, with a heavy heart, cast Scout on it.

[Item Name: JK Girl's Tempting Skirt]

[Quality: Perfect (automatically binds within 60 seconds after obtaining this equipment).]

[Function Description: Wearing this equipment correctly can unconditionally raise the rank of Talent Abilities.]

[Note: Art or vulgarity? I can no longer tell. I only know the moon is full tonight. If I don't admire it, I'd seem utterly lacking in romance...]

It was completely unsuitable!

Leaving aside the fact that this item looked like a short skirt overflowing with girlish charm,

even if Lu Li were a pervert with a cross-dressing fetish,

this equipment's effect would be completely useless to him!!!

After all, the Talent Ability [Soul Devour] had no rank.

How was he supposed to raise it if it had no rank!?

And!

What the hell was this automatic binding within sixty seconds?!!

Lu Li frowned and involuntarily turned his gaze toward Xu Xiao...
