Chapter 742

Xiong Hanzi understood Zhang Yong's meaning and let out a cold laugh:

Xiong Hanzi understood Zhang Yong's meaning and let out a cold laugh:

How?

"Whoever dares to have designs on Team Lin, I'll twist their head off!"

Zhang Yong couldn't refute, and sighed:

What if someone deliberately interferes with you in the upcoming trial?

Lord Lin An will enter the upcoming trial, right?

Brother Zhang, are you sure the upcoming trial is absolutely foolproof?

Fiona, who had been silent beside them, suddenly chimed in:

That's right.

Even if we tell them how strong Lin An is,

But someone will still have designs.

The remaining Awakened Ones still number nearly ten thousand; even if Lin An is stronger, he can't withstand being surrounded and killed.

Alright, even if he stops them, what about the mission?

Instinctively

In that moment, Fiona began to consider things from Lin An's perspective.

Whether Lin An did it intentionally or not.

At least the Awakened Ones from Latin America managed to survive in such numbers and still received generous rewards.

It can be said that it's all thanks to Lin An's blessing.

Behind them, the Awakened Ones of the Latin America Theater also couldn't help nodding repeatedly:

We will definitely not leak the news!

Just, Zhang Yong.

Are there too many problems in your theater...

You don't seem to trust them much.

The gaze fell on Lihao, who had been constantly floating in midair.

Silence.

Zhang Yong forced out an ugly smile and said nothing.

To be honest, he didn't even know what he was worried about.

Even theoretically, leaking the news to the Huaxia High Command wouldn't be a big deal.

He even believed that Lihao's character would surely consider the greater good.

The Military Region fully assisting Lin An to complete the upcoming trial is not impossible.

Just.

Chen Yangtian's various abnormalities always gave him an inexplicable unease.

Especially...

Looking at the unanswered messages in his private chat channel.

All kinds of doubts flashed through his mind.

There are acquaintances among the Awakened Ones in the Military Region.

In fact, after coming out, he first asked a few surviving power-system Awakened Ones.

But unexpectedly.

Not a single Awakened One brought out by Chen Yangtian replied to him.

It was as if...

As if they couldn't see system notifications, people were also very silent...

Matters concerning Lin An cannot be spoken of.

At least not for now...

Thinking of the rift between the Neutral Faction and the high level.

Zhang Yong felt heavy-hearted.

There must be a problem! Something definitely happened inside the capital that he didn't know about.

Believing Nie Ping's earlier hints, that also carried this meaning.

"System announcement: The power trial has ended."

"Three hours later, the agility trial will begin, rules unchanged."

"Any Awakened One can, after spending points, enter the Trial Tower on their own to advance to third rank."

"Note: Before the deathmatch ends, those who have advanced to third rank cannot participate in the Trial Tower."

With a cold mechanical announcement, it immediately caused an uproar.

After reaching third rank, you can't participate in the trial!?

Many dual-system Awakened Ones secretly groaned, feeling the pressure double.

They originally thought that after passing one trial, they could enter another trial with third-rank strength.

They never expected the system to block this shortcut.

For a moment, many people began to hesitate.

Eh..

His head felt like it would split.

"Lin Dui! You're awake!?"

Just opened his eyes.

Lin An immediately saw a ferocious face, nervously staring at him.

He felt a bit dazed.

A few seconds later, the conscious Lin An rubbed his brow, listening as everyone reported the situation.

The second time his mental energy was depleted, he fainted.

Last time it was still because of the glove matter.

Dividing his focus.

Lin An swiftly checked the system rewards, his gaze somewhat anticipatory.

Recalling before he fainted, the system kept chattering nonstop.

"System Rewards:"

"【Constant Burst】:"

"Passive Effect: Rule-tier - Awakened Ones who possess this passive maintain burst state with each attack."

"If the damage is lower than burst state, the system automatically draws spiritual energy to make up the difference."

"【Constant Critical】:"

"Passive Effect: When attacking, 100% cause critical effect. Current critical damage: 100%!"

"Note: This effect only applies to physical attacks."

"Cannot take effect on props, equipment, special items, or skills."

"Next level unlocks skill critical effect"

"Requirement: points * 1000"

"【Constant Crush】:"

"Passive Effect: As long as the target's strength is lower than any of your attribute values, your attacks will 100% cause crush effect, inflicting negative effects such as disability and limb shattering."

"Note: This effect only applies to physical attacks."

"Next level unlocks the 【Disintegration】 effect."

"【Disintegration】: When attacking any body part, it creates a shock effect, destroying the enemy's body and dealing massive damage."

"Requirement: points * 2000"

Looking at the three newly appeared passives on the panel, Lin An raised his brow, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

All are passives that increase damage.

The three effects activate together; his attacks become explosive damage.

Especially the disintegration effect after advancement— isn't that exactly the effect of Gao Tian's talent when the hunting lock reaches about 70%?

At the final stage, could it be annihilation?

Does striking result directly in death?

The only regret is that the point requirement for advancement is a bit high..

The evil god mission only gives 200!

Advancement needs a four‑figure starting point? How come the system doesn't just go rob it?!

After muttering a curse.

Looking at his points, Lin An's face instantly turned grim.

Damn!

A rare emotional swing.

Lin An stared in disbelief as he found he could no longer trade points for attributes, and the points from killing evil entities also displayed as 10!

From the ninth layer onward, the endlessly respawning monsters don't give points!?

The crowd around him, seeing Lin An's emotions shift, were startled.

In the midst of the crowd's unease, Lin An drew a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

If there isn't any, then there isn't any— this damn system really screws us.

Cannot trade points for attributes..

That's normal, after all he's already at the maximum.

Unless he promotes to third rank, there is still room to improve.

At this stage, his strength has already reached the strongest second‑level form under the system's limit.

Even a regular third‑level opponent would be nothing more than a clumsy dog before him.

Such level gaps have completely lost effect on him.

It looks like his points can only be used to enhance passives.

But it's quite hard to gather enough...

Had he known before entering the ninth layer, he would have farmed more monsters.

In his thoughts, Lin An casually tapped the points and unexpectedly found they could be traded.

A pretty interesting idea instantly appeared in his mind.

He looked up at the many Awakened Ones discussing how to use points, and a friendly emotion appeared in his eyes.

Cough cough.

If the points ever fall short, I'm sure everyone would gladly volunteer to give him some.

He put this idea into the backup plan and then looked at other rewards.

"S‑grade skill, pick one of three."

"Consuming 1000 points upgrades the reward to SS‑grade skill, choose one of two."

Consuming 9999 points, the reward is upgraded to an sss-level skill, unique.

Note: This option is only available in the first trial, and opens after completing a perfect-level trial.

After obtaining the highest-level reward, that reward is completely removed and no longer appears in any reward exchange.

Beneath the mask, Lin An's pupils suddenly contracted.

An sss-level skill, two levels higher than his talent!

On the system panel, every black jumping character seemed to be tempting him.
