[Mission: Killing Field: Thousand-Man Slayer!] [Comment: After finally taking your first step into the world of slaughter, having spent countless years in comfort on Earth, you must claim the epic feat of a thousand-man slayer in your own name!] [Mission Requirements: Win a thousand battles without a single defeat.]
Staring at the words "without a single defeat"...
Lin Yuan began to stifle a laugh. He knew another "freebie" had come knocking!
"Let's see what kind of reward a milestone of a thousand consecutive victories deserves..."
Lin Yuan's gaze moved down. The next second, his previously nonchalant expression froze, his pupils contracting violently as if he'd just witnessed an eight-magnitude earthquake!
[Mission Rewards:]
1. "Immortal Level" Mechanical Puppet (Disabled Version)
2. Secret Technique God-Demon Unity Technique (Mental Power Amplitude)
3. Life Fruit
"Hiss—"
Lin Yuan sucked in a sharp breath.
An uncontrollable surge of fervor exploded in his chest, and his heart pounded wildly.
These rewards were easily the greatest shock he'd ever received!
They were even more astonishing than the surprise he'd felt when he obtained the "Innate Secret Technique: Clone."
After all, his three Clones had limitless potential...
But they were investments for the future, requiring a long time to develop and grow.
At this stage, in this dangerous early period of his journey through the universe, what mattered most?
Staying alive!
"An Immortal Level Mechanical Puppet..." Lin Yuan murmured, his throat suddenly dry.
Even with the words "Disabled Version" tacked on, it was still something that bore the name "Immortal"!
What did that mean? It meant that even if he simply left it standing there without moving, its material alone might be enough to withstand attacks from even a World Lord Level powerhouse!
It was the ultimate shield for traveling—and for killing and looting.
"But why is it disabled?"
Though Lin Yuan was puzzled, he didn't dwell on it for long.
Anything produced by the system was bound to be top quality.
Surely it wouldn't hype up the reward only to give him a pile of scrap metal? Even if its power system was broken, it would still be a divine weapon for using as a shield or smashing people with!
As for the God-Demon Unity Technique, its name alone made it clear that it was an exceptionally rare secret technique for amplifying mental power—and exactly the kind of boost he urgently needed.
And the "Life Fruit" was an outright superior version of the Muya Crystal.
With it, Star Vine would be on the verge of breaking through to Universe Level.
"I really do have to win all one thousand of these battles!"
Lin Yuan's eyes flashed brightly. Without wasting a moment, he exited the mission panel.
He strode toward the registration counter at the Killing Field.
"Please set your alias," said a sweet electronic voice.
Lin Yuan thought briefly, then swiftly traced two characters in the air with his finger.
Simple and direct!
—"Star."
In the name of Star, he would suppress every enemy!
[Challenge accepted!]
[Opponent: Phantom Sword (Star Level Three)]
[Record: 19 wins, 7 losses]
[Map: Starry Meteor Belt]
The scene shifted, and Lin Yuan appeared atop a massive floating meteorite.
A hundred meters away, a man in Silver Battle Armor stood proudly, a long sword strapped to his back. The ID above his head read "Phantom Sword."
"Oh, a newbie?"
Phantom Sword looked Lin Yuan up and down. Seeing his record of "0 wins, 0 losses," he broke into a mocking grin.
"Kid, you're in luck. You ran into me in your very first match. Don't be nervous. As your senior, I'll teach you properly. The Killing Field isn't a place for playing house..."
He prattled on, flourished his long sword, and seemed not to take Lin Yuan seriously at all.
Lin Yuan remained expressionless. He didn't even bother taking the Sun God Weapon off his back.
He simply held out his right hand, and the pitch-black War Blade, Shadow Devourer, appeared from thin air.
"You talk too much."
He uttered the four words calmly.
The next moment, Lin Yuan moved.
No elaborate techniques. No earth-shattering aura.
Just a streak of black light so fast it seemed to devour even the light around it!
Whoosh!
The mocking smile hadn't even faded from Phantom Sword's face when everything went dark before his eyes. A chill brushed his neck.
"You..."
He tried to speak in terror, only to find his view spinning rapidly as he fell.
It was his own headless corpse!
[Battle over!]
[Winner: Star!]
[Time elapsed: 0.01 seconds!]
One slash. Done.
Lin Yuan sheathed his blade without even glancing at the corpse on the ground, then vanished in a streak of light.
"Too weak. Next."

[Match found!]
[Opponent: Wild Wave (Five-Star Rating)]
This time, his opponent was a well-known five-star powerhouse.
"A newbie with a Domain?"
The burly man called Wild Wave stared at Lin Yuan with interest. "Come on, let me see what a genius with a Domain at Star Level is made of!"
He looked eager for a fight, Origin Force surging around him. He was clearly a battle maniac.
But the result was exactly the same as before.
When that streak of black light flashed, all his probing and defenses seemed utterly feeble.
Thud!
The War Blade pierced his chest, and the excitement in Wild Wave's eyes froze into terror.
Instant kill! Another instant kill!
Lin Yuan surged onward without pausing for a moment.
In the Killing Field, as long as you had the money, fighting hundreds of matches in a day was perfectly normal. And now, Lin Yuan was like a tireless reaping machine, relentlessly updating his record.
The tenth challenger was Giant Hammer, rated three stars.
The strength he was so proud of was as feeble as an infant's before Lin Yuan. He and his hammer were cleaved in two by a single slash from Shadow Devourer.
The twenty-fifth opponent was Heavenly Blade, rated six stars.
A fellow blade expert, he didn't even get the chance to draw his weapon before he died to Shadow Devourer.
The sixty-eighth opponent was Maya, rated two stars, a spiritual force reader.
Lin Yuan didn't draw his blade. Using only his physical strength, he shattered Maya's mental power shield with three punches—and shattered his fighting spirit along with it.
As his winning streak grew, Lin Yuan was matched with increasingly powerful opponents.
His 170th opponent!
[ID: Taiyue]
[Rating: Seven Stars]
Taiyue was a powerhouse with an Earth Domain, and his defensive strength was peerless among those of the same level.
"Your winning streak ends here!"
Taiyue roared, and his ocher Domain expanded. The gravity around them instantly increased tenfold.
Lin Yuan hovered in midair, still calm.
"Finally, someone worth looking at."
He slid Shadow Devourer back into the sheath on his back and, for the first time, removed the dark-gold shuttle strapped there—the Sun God Weapon!
"To show you some respect, I'll send you on your way."
Boom!
At a thought from Lin Yuan, the Sun God Weapon instantly broke apart. Countless tiny golden swords whirled through the air, combining into a hazy Golden Illusion Sword.
"Sun God Weapon, First Form—Firefly!"
A flash of golden light!
The supposedly indestructible Earth Domain was pierced as easily as paper. Taiyue didn't even have time to react before his body was riddled with holes.
He died beneath the Sun God Weapon!
A day passed.
The atmosphere in the hall outside the Killing Space grew increasingly strange.
When Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God emerged from the Battle Arena after a day of exhausting training, they were surprised to see a name climbing the screen at a rocket's pace.
"Star? Who's that?" Thunder God rubbed his bald head, baffled.
Luo Feng opened the detailed profile. The next second, he froze.
"Th-this... is that Brother Lin?"
The record column clearly showed:
[ID: Star]
[Record: 287 wins, 0 losses, 0 draws]
[Win rate: 100%]
"Holy crap!"
Thunder God's eyes nearly bulged out. "Over two hundred fights in one day, all victories? Are the Star Level experts in the universe really that lousy?"
Hong took a deep breath and shook his head, his gaze profound. "It's not that they're too weak. Lin Yuan is just... too monstrous."
It wasn't only them. As Lin Yuan's winning streak continued to grow, the Killing Field branch on Black Dragon Mountain Island began to stir.
At first, no one paid him any attention. Then people grew curious and clicked in. And now—
"Look! That 'Star' is fighting again! Hurry up and buy a ticket to spectate!"
"My god, another instant kill! His last opponent was rated nine stars!"
"Which great family did this monster come from? Is he at the ninth level of Domain? Or has he already crossed the threshold of the Laws?"
By now, Lin Yuan had achieved 937 consecutive victories.
There was no doubt that he had shaken the entire Killing Field. The various major factions were all watching...
At that moment, in the spectator seats...
As they watched Lin Yuan take down yet another nine-star-rated opponent with a single slash, in one corner...
"Nuo Lanshan, that young man is remarkably talented. He's swept through the Killing Field, and not one opponent of the same level has lasted three moves against him. Whether it's his degree of power exertion, his mental power amplitude...
"Or his mastery of the Controller Divine Weapon—it's practically flawless. He's a rare talent! Your Hundred Tiger Tower is short on people. Why not seize the opportunity and recruit him?"
"..."
