Joining the Virtual Universe? "SSS-Rank" Bloodline Evolution Potion!

The air in the hall seemed to solidify at this very moment.

The faint chuckles and whispers echoing around him felt sharper than the keenest blades to the ears of Nolan Mountain.

As the founding ancestor of the Nolan Mountain Family and a Universe-level powerhouse who commanded awe across the region, where did he go that he wasn't revered by thousands and treated like the moon surrounded by stars?

He had taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, expecting this brat to kneel in gratitude, and yet?

He had been rejected in public!

Furthermore, the subtext of everything the brat had just said clearly showed a complete lack of respect for him!

"Universe-level... is that supposed to be impressive?"

This sentence echoed crazily in Nolan Mountain's mind like demonic chanting. He, Nolan Mountain, was a Universe-level! This brat was pointing at a monk and cursing the bald head!

Fury churned in Nolan Mountain's chest like a volcano.

A terrifying pressure of consciousness belonging to a Universe-level powerhouse—though its physical lethality was restricted within the Virtual Universe—still spread out like a tangible, suffocating wave of killing intent.

Right now, he had an overwhelming urge to teach this arrogant, ignorant brat a lesson!

Lin Yuan naturally sensed this undisguised fluctuation the moment it appeared.

But—so what?

Lin Yuan crossed his arms over his chest, a faint, mocking curve still lingering at the corners of his mouth.

If he dared to make a move today, it wouldn't matter if he suffered a little, but he wondered if the Nolan Mountain Family would be wiped out by a Mechanical Immortal in the near future!

Therefore, Lin Yuan was fearless.

Want face? Who do you think you are, and who gave you the right to demand it!

Just as the two sides were at daggers drawn...

At the critical moment when Nolan Mountain's expression had turned dark to the extreme and dangerous sparks were about to fly—

"Tap, tap, tap."

A steady, unhurried sound of footsteps suddenly cut into the heavy atmosphere.

A lean man with a sharp nose, dressed in the official uniform of the Killing Field, walked over silently and naturally positioned himself between Lin Yuan and Nolan Mountain.

He completely ignored the cold, murderous gaze of Nolan Mountain that would have terrified an ordinary person, not even sparing the Universe-level powerhouse a glance, and instead bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan:

"Mr. Star, there is an adult waiting for you in the Meditation Room on the second floor."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nolan Mountain, who had been burning with rage, felt his pupils constrict violently, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Meditation Room?!

As an old hand in the Killing Field, he knew exactly what the "Meditation Room" implied.

The cost of staying there was a bottomless pit; those who could afford to rent one, and were willing to do so, were at the very least Universe-level!

And this Lin Yuan before him had displayed monstrous talent in the Killing Space, so...

The person who had taken an interest in this brat... was very likely a high and mighty Domain Lord-level powerhouse!

At this thought, the fire in Nolan Mountain's heart was instantly extinguished by a bucket of ice water. A Domain Lord-level was an existence he had to look up to, one he absolutely could not afford to provoke.

If he offended a peerless genius favored by a Domain Lord just because of a momentary impulse, his Nolan Mountain Family would likely face a catastrophe.

"Hmph!"

Weighing the pros and cons, Nolan Mountain's face shifted for a moment before he was forced to swallow his pride.

He let out a cold snort, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave in a dejected, hurried manner, filled with suppressed frustration and a lingering sense of fear.

Watching Nolan Mountain's somewhat pathetic retreating figure, Lin Yuan chuckled inwardly, then nodded to the lean man: "Lead the way, please."

The second floor of the Killing Field was completely different from the noisy, chaotic hall on the first floor.

It was a vast and luxurious labyrinth with soft lighting, and Meditation Rooms were tucked away on both sides of the corridors.

The soundproofing here was absolute; walking through it felt like being cut off from the world, where even the sound of one's own breathing was clearly audible.

Soon, Lin Yuan was led to the door of a Meditation Room deep within the labyrinth.

"My lord, the guest has arrived," the lean man said respectfully to the closed door, then retreated like a ghost, disappearing around the corner.

"Hiss—"

The high-tech metal door slid open silently to both sides.

Lin Yuan stepped inside and looked up to see a giant of a man, over two meters tall and as sturdy as a small mountain, sitting in the center of the spacious, luxurious room.

At this moment, the burly man was staring at Lin Yuan with glowing eyes, his gaze so fiery it was as if an interstellar pirate had discovered a legendary treasure and couldn't wait to swallow him whole.

Lin Yuan observed the proper etiquette, bowed his head slightly, and spoke in a calm, respectful tone: "My lord."

"Hahaha! Sit, sit quickly!"

The burly man laughed, his voice booming like a bell, and he enthusiastically gestured toward the sofa opposite him.

Lin Yuan did not stand on ceremony, walking over to sit down with composure.

"Let me introduce myself."

The burly man gazed at Lin Yuan with burning eyes and said, "I am Ming Yu, a Level 1 Deacon of the Virtual Universe Company stationed in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire branch!"

"In fact, I have been observing you in the Killing Field for quite some time!"

Upon hearing this name and status, Lin Yuan thought to himself, As expected.

Everything was within his calculations. He had been prepared for this scene today, and he had even guessed most of what the other party would say.

But to maintain his persona as a "fledgling" genius, he had to let his pupils dilate just the right amount, feigning surprise as he drew in a sharp breath: "So you are an official from the Virtual Universe Company?"

Ming Yu was very satisfied with Lin Yuan's reaction. He leaned forward slightly, asking with a hint of confusion and the concern of an elder:

"I have watched you for a long time. With your supreme talent, why do you not go into the real universe for true life-and-death tempering?

You must know that no matter how realistic the Killing Field simulations are, they ultimately lack that profound terror of facing death head-on."

"Why are you so obsessed with grinding for battle records in this virtual killing space day after day?"

Facing this soul-searching question, Lin Yuan was visibly stunned for a moment.

Seeing Lin Yuan's "dazed" expression, a gratified smile curled at the corners of Ming Yu's mouth.

He believed his words had acted like a wake-up call, causing this peerless genius, who had been addicted to virtual glory, to suddenly see the light.

But the next second, Lin Yuan suddenly smiled.

He relaxed his posture and said in an extremely calm tone: "You misunderstand, sir. Regarding life-and-death trials in reality, I naturally have detailed plans in mind; I would never shut myself away to work behind closed doors."

"As for this Killing Field..." Lin Yuan spread his hands and added nonchalantly, "I just simply wanted to hit the '1,000-win streak' milestone for fun."

"It's not hard anyway; I just played casually and reached it. Don't you think so, sir?"

"..."

The air in the Meditation Room suddenly went quiet.

The gratified smile on Ming Yu's face froze instantly, and then, the corners of his mouth began to twitch uncontrollably—the frequency of the twitching was even higher than that of Nuo Lanshan just moments ago!

Not... hard?

Just played casually... and reached it?!

Ming Yu almost wanted to curse out loud. Do you know how many self-proclaimed geniuses in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Sector have had their mental states collapse while chasing a "100-win streak"? You call this not hard?!

Is this what top-tier genius humble-bragging feels like?!

Ming Yu felt his heart suffer ten thousand points of critical damage. He gave a tactical cough to suppress the urge to retort and said dryly:

"Ahem... as long as you have a plan, then I am relieved."

To cover up the awkwardness, Ming Yu decisively changed the subject:

"Just now, when you instantly killed that white-robed swordsman in the lobby—he is a special-grade elite of our Virtual Universe Company branch—you defeated him with ease using your domain..."

"Your domain is at least at the sixth level, right?"

A Star Level warrior with a domain at the sixth level! What a shocking concept!

Lin Yuan did not deny it, merely nodding calmly.

"Good! Very good!"

Seeing Lin Yuan admit it, Ming Yu slapped his thigh, his eyes erupting with unprecedented fervor. He stopped beating around the bush and laid his cards on the table:

"Lin Yuan, after a rigorous assessment by our Virtual Universe Company, your potential has been classified as—'Above Special Grade'!"

"I have brought you here today to represent the Ganwu Universe Kingdom branch and formally invite you to join the Virtual Universe Company as an internal member!"

Ming Yu took a deep breath and offered a condition that would drive countless warriors mad:

"As long as you agree to join, based on your potential rating, the company can immediately provide an 'SSS-Grade' evolutionary blood serum!"

"This serum is enough to make your bloodline undergo an incredible ascension! You won't even need to go through those dangerous life-and-death trials; as long as you reach natural adulthood..."

"You are destined to become a Domain Lord level powerhouse who shakes the star seas!"
