91: Chapter 91 Fate Follows Us, Time-Space Turbulence

The matter of the golden spirit fruit belonging to Wen Xiaoyou was like an absurd yet real nightmare, weighing on the hearts of every prodigy.

Assassins died inexplicably, malice was completely backlashed, and a terrifying score gap of three million placed her at the top of the leaderboard, crushing all geniuses in the world.

No one dared to covet it anymore, and no one dared to harbor greed.

The group of top prodigies also gradually collected their thoughts and turned to head toward other areas of the Chaotic Battlefield.

The trial had not yet ended, the battlefield was vast and boundless, and it was meaningless to dwell on the gains and losses of one place.

In the blink of an eye, the Element Forest, which had just been filled with earth-shaking slaughter and hidden murderous intent, returned to complete desolation.

In the vast sea of trees, only the faint sound of wind remained, along with a petite figure who was at a loss.

Wen Xiaoyou stood alone in the empty forest clearing, her small face filled with complete confusion.

Just a moment ago, she had ignorantly eaten the golden spirit fruit, feeling warm and light all over, so comfortable that she wanted to doze off.

Immediately after, countless gazes focused on her, dense and overwhelming, making her so nervous and flustered that she could only stand stiffly in place.

But now that the crowd had dispersed and the noise had faded, the surroundings became excessively quiet in an instant.

What met her eyes were dense, uniformly growing towering ancient trees, intertwined vines, overlapping canopies, and similar forest terrain.

All directions looked exactly the same.

For all the prodigies familiar with the battlefield and skilled at orientation, the forest landscape was clearly distinguishable, but in her eyes, it was just an endless, indistinguishable green maze.

She was completely lost.

Wen Xiaoyou held her small head and kept turning in circles on the spot, her soft, murmuring voice ringing gently in the forest.

"Hmm..."

"Where was the east again..."

"Did I just walk from this way?"

"Eh? That's not right... Maybe it was that way?"

She looked left and right, blinking her large eyes, the more she looked, the more confused she became, and the more she turned, the more muddled she felt.

She couldn't remember the path she had come from, and she couldn't distinguish the direction to move forward at all.

In the vast Chaotic Battlefield, danger was everywhere, murderous intent was hidden, and countless geniuses were cautious at every step, walking on thin ice.

Only she stood in the center of the battlefield, troubled solely by not being able to find her way.

Bewildered, clumsy, innocent, and ridiculously simple.

Just as she was struggling and at a loss on the spot, a tall, cold, black-clad figure stepped out from the forest path.

With a tall posture and a biting aura, surrounded by the killing intent of long-term slaughter, it was Lin Yan, who was preparing to move to a new battlefield.

The bewildered Wen Xiaoyou saw someone walking in front, and her pitch-black eyes instantly brightened, like a lost child finding the only direction.

"He looks very powerful; if I follow him, I won't be spinning in circles anymore."

Without the slightest hesitation, the little girl took small, dainty steps and quietly followed him.

Not too far, not too close, about a dozen meters away, she followed obediently, not speaking, not disturbing, and not making any noise, like a little tail following silently.

Lin Yan's pace while traveling was steady and hurried, his physical senses extremely keen.

In just a few seconds, he clearly captured the faint, non-malicious presence following closely behind him.

He turned his head slightly and cast a glance backward.

What he saw was that ignorant young girl who had just eaten the golden spirit fruit, ranked first overall, and possessed supreme heavenly fortune.

Lin Yan frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashing through his heart.

All the prodigies in the arena avoided her for fear of getting too close, everyone wary of the bizarre heavenly fortune on her, afraid of being contaminated by even a bit of the backlash of bad luck.

Yet this girl at the top of the leaderboard was silently following behind him the whole way.

He carefully sensed that her presence was pure and calm, without a shred of murderous intent, calculation, or hidden motives.

She was excessively simple.

Lin Yan thought for a moment, then felt relieved.

In the Chaotic Battlefield, everyone was too busy to look after themselves; if she had malicious intent, there would be no need to tail him like this. Looking at her bewildered and ignorant appearance, she was probably just lost and randomly following a passerby.

He did not stop walking, did not speak to ask, and certainly did not drive her away.

He let her follow and continued to walk steadily toward his target war zone.

The two figures, one in front and one behind, slowly walked out of the boundary of the Element Forest and stepped into a brand-new battlefield domain.

The next instant, the rules of the world refreshed with a boom!

The entire world suddenly changed!

Gray-white thick fog surged out from the void, instantly covering an area of ten thousand miles, and the field of vision was sharply compressed.

A cold system notification sounded simultaneously in both of their ears:

[You have entered a brand-new war zone: Spacetime Turbulence Battlefield]

[The current war zone terrain is: Spacetime Turbulence — This area's space is unstable, with various spacetime turbulences, spatial wormholes, spatial storms, etc.]

[Spacetime Turbulence exclusive rule in effect: Spatial Oscillation — Spatial rifts will appear randomly in this battlefield, randomly devouring all living beings.]

[Stacked rule: Vision Deprivation — The entire area is shrouded in thick fog, vision is compressed to 20 meters, and all detection-type talents, skills, items, etc., are completely ineffective.]

The fog was vast, and beyond twenty meters, it was all void and gray-white.

After entering this battlefield, Wen Xiaoyou followed even more closely, fearing that she would get lost again.

Vision was blocked, detection was useless, space was unstable, and crises were hidden.

There was no fixed murderous intent, no predictable traps, and all dangers were refreshed randomly.

Even top prodigies could only be cautious at every step upon entering this place, not daring to be the slightest bit careless, as they could be buried in the spacetime turbulence at any moment.

The moment they stepped into the battlefield, two completely different ways of survival created an extreme contrast.

Lin Yan's expression was calm, without a ripple.

Vision blockade and detection failure were fatal dead ends for others, but for him, they were irrelevant.

What he relied on was never vision prediction, detection tracking, or skill evasion.

He relied on a physical body that crushed everything and combat power that swept across ten thousand enemies.

The tyrant armor flowed with dark light against his body, his physical hegemony was firmly maintained, and his footsteps were firm and steady.

In the thick fog, he ignored the unknown dangers, sweeping his battle axe casually, and the low-level turbulence monsters that refreshed along the way were instantly annihilated by a single slash, turning into fly ash.

Kill when meeting monsters, crush when meeting obstacles; even if the road ahead was filled with heavy fog, he would use brute force to carve out a smooth path.

Throughout the whole process, he was decisive in killing, steady at every step, and his strength crushed all unknowns.

And Wen Xiaoyou, who was following closely behind, was the complete opposite extreme.

She didn't understand danger at all, didn't care about the rules, and certainly wouldn't take the initiative to hunt monsters or compete for resources.

Others held their breath, were highly alert, and walked with trepidation at every step.

She wobbled and followed slowly, remaining completely outside the battlefield slaughter, as if she were here for sightseeing.

As she walked, her gaze was attracted by a grayish little stone at her feet, and she subconsciously crouched down and picked it up.

The moment it was in her hand, a crisp system notification suddenly rang out!

[Hidden item discovered: Spatial Spirit Crystal]

[Effect: Can be exchanged for a large amount of points, slightly increases spatial resistance]

[Note: Spacetime Turbulence exclusive hidden resource, cannot be locked by detection, can only be picked up by chance]

"Spatial Spirit Crystal... a hidden item, it doesn't seem very useful."

Wen Xiaoyou muttered, casually putting it into her storage space.

Lin Yan, who was walking ahead, stopped abruptly.

A flash of genuine astonishment passed through his eyes.

The Spatial Spirit Crystals in this area were hidden within spatial rifts, intangible, invisible to the naked eye, and undetectable.

He had been walking all the way, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings, yet he hadn't discovered a single trace.

Yet the little girl behind him had picked it up just by casually picking up a stone.

Absurd, yet reasonable.

Lin Yan recovered his calm in an instant and continued to walk forward, the "eerie" feeling in his heart deepening once again.
