Breaking the Record, Unprecedented Rewards!

Less than three seconds later, a noticeable crack appeared on one of the frozen chains.

"Snap!"

With a crisp cracking sound, the first chain broke completely.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

When the ten chains snapped completely, a dazzling orange light burst forth from the bottom of the pit, and several treasures rose from the darkness.

There was a long robe of lush, verdant lotus leaves, a lotus seed as smooth as jade, and a jade vase gleaming with a soft light...

Each item exuded a sacred aura, seemingly of extraordinary quality, drawing glints of envy, Greed, and Envy in the eyes of the lords.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Bai Xueji put several treasures back into her backpack and walked towards the arched bridge without changing her expression.

"Wait a moment, Bai Xueji," the fan-wielding man said, "Could you tell me what you obtained from it?"

The white-haired girl paused for a moment, then continued forward.

Seeing her like this, the others stopped asking questions and returned to the arched bridge to wait for the secret realm to end.

"Goodbye everyone, see you at the next competition."

"No need for the next one. We might meet in the Land of Mist soon enough," the fan-wielding man chuckled. "At that time, we might even become competitors."

"Competitive relationship?"

The blond man, brandishing a large sword, grinned Fervor, "Good! I can't wait to slaughter you all!"

Although there were still two or three lords who had not completed the challenge, most people were not interested in watching and instead quietly examined their own treasures.

Soon, all the lords on the field had finished their challenges, leaving only Shen Xing without a chance to try.

He pushed the wheelchair slowly across the shallow water-covered platform, and soon arrived at the edge of the abyss.

Based on previous experience, it seems that each person only has one chance to retrieve the treasure.

Shen Xing analyzed in a low voice, "The more chains are pulled, the greater the backlash will be; if you can't withstand it, you might even die."

"So, just to be on the safe side, let's try it with a chain first."

With that thought, he used the 'Hand of the Void' to grab a chain and hold it in his right hand.

He immediately sensed that the chain was continuously drawing some kind of power from his body.

It's not about absorbing attributes, but more like absorbing certain traits.

[For unknown reasons, your luck value has decreased by 1]

[For unknown reasons, your charm value has decreased by 1]

[For unknown reasons, your constitution has been reduced by 100]

"Huh? It's actually absorbing my luck and charm? That's a bit outrageous..."

As we all know, 'Luck' and 'Charm' are hidden attributes that are the hardest to improve, but also extremely important.

The former affects the drop rate of various items and the success rate of soul breakthroughs.

The latter affects various interactions with the native inhabitants of this world, increases favorability, and so on.

"It seems that as long as I hold this chain, it will continuously drain my attributes."

"No wonder that player was quickly drained after grabbing eight sticks at once."

Shen Xing immediately wanted to break the chains, grab the reward, and run away.

Just as he was about to exert force...

Suddenly.

The Flower of Mist on her arm began to spin again.

Like an invisible vortex, it drew the Chill power within the chains towards it.

At that moment, the heaviness vanished, and even the emptiness that had been constantly draining away disappeared.

It was as if he were holding just a Common chain.

"Could it be...?"

Shen Xing's eyes widened slightly, as if she had realized something.

After waiting a moment, he confirmed his suspicions.

It seems... I don't need to pay any price again!?

Chapter 191: Breaking the Record, an Unprecedented Reward!

Shen Xing confirmed his suspicions.

Pulling these chains yourself seems to really not require you to suffer any backlash.

In other words, he can try to break more chains at once!

Thinking of this, Shen Xing's breathing became a little rapid!

"Phew... Calm down, calm down."

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then tried to pick up the second chain.

Sure enough, the chilling feeling flashed by and then disappeared.

"Great, great, I got to freeload again!"

Lord Shen grew increasingly excited, and then impatiently grabbed the third, fourth, and fifth...

When her hands couldn't hold any more, she wrapped the strands around her arms, and in the blink of an eye, she had twenty strands, even more than twice the Bai Xueji!

The other lords also noticed this scene, and their eyes showed surprise.

"What... is this newcomer doing?" the fan-wielding lord asked suspiciously. "Twenty chains? Isn't he afraid of being drained dry in an instant?"

The Golden Knife Lord beside him also widened his eyes. "There's another madman even more reckless than me? Is this kid out of his mind?"

"He's dead. With so many chains, there's no way he could have survived."

As the discussion progressed, more and more attention turned to Shen Xing.

Even the ever-silent Bai Xueji and the stunningly beautiful woman with elven blood couldn't help but take notice.

Shen Xing ignored the comments and remained immersed in his excitement.

Because at this moment he still doesn't feel the slightest burden, and even wants more!

"Thirty chains have been used already, and there's still no sign of any side effects."

"If that's the case, then let me see where the limit is!"

With this in mind, Shen Xing unleashed a large amount of mental energy, drawing all the surrounding chains to his side.

In the blink of an eye, a full seventy chains swept over, binding his arms, legs, and even his body.

He wanted to pull more chains, but when he looked back, he found that the edge of the abyss was empty; all the chains had been pulled over.

The other lords went from initial shock to disbelief, and eventually lost interest.

In their view, this young man was simply courting death.

No one has ever broken more than ten chains; the backlash from that level is simply unbearable for them.

With so many chains binding him, death was practically certain.

Of course, a few lords continued to watch, seemingly wanting to see him swallowed by the abyss.

At this moment, the young man in the wheelchair not only did not die, but began to move the wheelchair, dragging the chains backward.

As hundreds of chains tightened further, it was as if something was awakening from the depths of the abyss.

"Boom... boom boom..."

At this moment, the entire Lotus Pond Secret Realm began to tremble violently.

The expressions of everyone on the stone bridge changed, and they all turned to look, only to witness a shocking scene.

"He's not dead... and he's even started dragging the chains!?"

"This is impossible! This is impossible! How could anyone withstand the backlash of a hundred chains!"

"It's fake, it must be fake!"

A chorus of incredulous murmurs arose.

Even the Bai Xueji turned her head, her gaze fixed on Shen Xing, a look of confusion appearing on her pretty face.

Just as they were filled with shock, the young man in the wheelchair suddenly stopped, and the Lotus Pond Secret Realm returned to calm.

He seemed to have reached his limit, unable to pull the chain even half a step further.

The lords all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, I knew it... how could anyone pull a hundred chains?"

"Indeed, even Bai Xueji, who broke the record, only broke 10 chains. She couldn't even stand up. How could she possibly surpass us?"

"It's a pity, I was really looking forward to seeing him break a hundred chains, maybe he'd get some amazing Dabao."

"Forget it, that's absolutely impossible. If he could do it, I'd buy all the materials for future breakthroughs in expert-level research!"

"Then I'll provide him with all the materials needed to break through to the Master, and a few Leader Rank Soul as well."

"If you guys don't want to give it, just say so. Giving him breakthrough materials is pointless; whether this kid will even survive is another question."

Just then, Shen Xing turned his head, his gaze sweeping across the stone bridge. "I've remembered all the people who were talking just now."

With so many people witnessing this, don't go back on your word when we meet again.

The lords were stunned.

They were about to speak when they suddenly sensed an aura of authority rising from the young man.

His long black hair grew rapidly, the blood vessels under his skin turned dark gold, and his body continued to grow taller.

At that moment, he transformed from a frail boy into a tall, handsome man with a cool and aloof demeanor.

Then, Shen Xing stood up from her wheelchair.

His dragon-patterned robe fluttered in the wind, and his full head of black hair fell like the night sky, complementing his handsome and aloof face.

This presentation even caught the attention of several female lords present.

While everyone was still stunned, Shen Xing had already dragged his body covered in chains and moved backward.

"Boom! Boom!"

An even stronger tremor swept through the entire secret realm, the lake water surged with waves several meters high, and the stone bridge shook violently.

To everyone's astonishment, the hundreds of chains were pulled upwards inch by inch.
