115: Upgrade to level 10!

The air was silent for a few seconds!

Lin Chuan clearly felt the 6th player's breathing quicken for an instant!

He quickly regained his composure.

And the referee, his tone once again changed from gentle to playful, slowly said, "It's not forbidden. However, I need to remind you that here, your Talent and skills are all locked. But you can use equipment or items, including red crystal and green crystal."

It was explained in great detail, so Lin Chuan didn't ask any more questions.

The 6th player was sitting directly opposite Lin Chuan.

She suddenly spoke, "I presume you and I are both strong individuals with red crystal and green crystal. If so, why don't we trade with each other, as the referee suggested?"

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow, "What do you want to trade?"

"A Talent mutation fruit for your secret realm exemption card. If I'm not mistaken, you should already have a secret realm exemption card, right?" The 6th girl still looked quiet and refined, speaking in an orderly manner, much like the top student favored by teachers in school.

Lin Chuan didn't hide it, nodding faintly, "Indeed. However, no matter how many secret realm exemption cards there are, there will always be a time to use them. As for a Talent mutation fruit, having one more doesn't seem very useful to me."

The 6th girl narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Are you sure?"

Lin Chuan smiled, "Believe it or not."

So, the topic of trade stopped there, and the air became silent again.

After a few minutes, Lin Chuan suddenly changed his mind, "But if you're willing to tell me what's going on with your Talent, I can agree to trade with you."

The 6th girl was startled. After a moment of thought, she also bargained, "Okay, but I also want to know the secret of your attributes!"

Lin Chuan's expression was calm, seemingly not surprised, "You go first."

The 6th player pondered for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "Believe it or not, my Talent is called 'Fireball'. It really doesn't have a level marked on my data panel."

When Lin Chuan heard the words "Fireball", his heart almost skipped a beat!

But he showed no emotion on his face!

In fact, he feigned dissatisfaction, "That's it? You're not going to elaborate on the function of your Fireball?"

The 6th girl just frowned, "I can't explain the details either. I've tried all sorts of things, but I have no idea what this Fireball is for."

As she spoke, she actually raised her right hand, and a ball of fire appeared in her palm!

Lin Chuan's eyes widened instantly!

The referee had just clearly emphasized that in the secret realm, Talents and skills were all locked!

But this 6th girl's Fireball could actually be cast!!

Opposite him, the 6th girl gave a bitter smile, "The only thing I know now is that it can be used in the secret realm! But against people, it has no attack power at all!"

Lin Chuan's brow twitched. He forcefully suppressed his surging emotions and calmly asked, "Have you tried burning other things with it?"

"I've tried, Crystal Nucleus, corpses, even equipment, items, all without any reaction. It's like a phantom, utterly useless except for the special ability to be used in the secret realm!"

Lin Chuan could feel that her tone was genuinely powerless; she was probably not lying.

The air was silent for another ten seconds, then the 6th player said to Lin Chuan, "I'm done, it's your turn."

"Me, huh..."

Lin Chuan's tone was chilling.

The next moment, he suddenly raised his right hand!

Cold iron wires instantly wrapped the 6th girl opposite him like a chrysalis!

This time, Lin Chuan did not directly crush her into a pulp with the iron wires.

Instead, he simply slit her throat, leaving a complete corpse!

It wasn't that he was particularly soft-hearted, but simply for the convenience of using Fireball Incineration on her when he returned!

As for the red crystal and green crystal, he had guessed from the start that this woman had none!

She was just bluffing!

Lin Chuan still had the red gourd for detecting red crystal in his spatial inventory!

But the red gourd didn't light up at all!

From the moment the referee announced that killing was not forbidden, he had no intention of letting this woman live!

This woman was the first among the 12 players to break the agreement and tell the truth!

Her purpose in doing so was undoubtedly to harm others and monopolize the secret realm rewards!

Since she could have such an idea, why couldn't Lin Chuan?

The difference was, this woman wanted to use the secret realm rules to eliminate others.

Lin Chuan, on the other hand, used absolute strength to "eliminate" this woman!

He calmly put the woman's corpse and her secret realm rewards into his spatial inventory.

By this time, there were still two minutes left until the time to leave the secret realm voluntarily.

Lin Chuan suddenly remembered something and asked the referee, "Can the rewards of two people be combined? For example, can two secret realm silver cards be exchanged for one secret realm gold card?"

The referee's tone did not change at all due to Lin Chuan's killing, still gentle yet playful, "No, they cannot."

Lin Chuan was not surprised. After two minutes, when the time was up, he left the secret realm and returned to his hotel bedroom!

This trip to the secret realm only took over half an hour, but the harvest was absolutely huge!

Not only double the secret realm rewards, but also that woman's corpse!

Lin Chuan directly took the corpse out of his spatial inventory and threw a Fireball at it!

In an instant, the corpse was completely incinerated by the Fireball!

At the same time, a familiar prompt sounded in his mind—

"Ding! Incineration of a Level 4 player! Plundering Talent: Fireball!"

"Ding! Talent Fireball and Fireball are merging and evolving! Evolution time: 6 hours!"

Talent evolution!!

In his previous life, when Lin Chuan killed another version of himself, he also experienced Talent fusion!

But not every Talent fusion would trigger Talent evolution!

For example, other players' B-grade Talents might need to kill several versions of themselves and fuse several times before having a chance to evolve into A-grade!

Lin Chuan's Fireball Talent, he felt, was an even more mysterious existence than SSS grade talent!

So in his previous life, when the Fireball Talent only fused but didn't evolve, Lin Chuan accepted it calmly!

But he didn't expect that in this life, without even killing a single version of himself yet, the Fireball Talent actually evolved!

And this matter was really outrageous!

Lin Chuan had incinerated countless corpses in his past and present lives!

Among them, there were indeed some with the same Talent!

However, identical Talents, as long as they didn't come from the same person, would not fuse in his case!

For example, now, his data panel was very cluttered!

In the Talent column, there were as many as 3 F-grade Physique Enhancement Talents alone!

They came from three different people and simply didn't fuse together!

Yet this time, the Fireball plundered from someone else fused with Lin Chuan's own Fireball!

This was truly bizarre!

Bizarre as it was, Lin Chuan was still incredibly excited, wondering what new functions the evolved Fireball would have!

Six hours, he could wait!

He then took out two Level +1 cards!

Two Level +1 cards were enough to instantly raise him to Level 10!

But these two cards would clearly be more cost-effective to use after reaching Level 10.

He could even trade them with others for a huge profit.

But after much deliberation, he finally used the two cards on himself!

Soon, the global announcements for the first ascent to Level 9 and the first ascent to Level 10 sounded in all players' minds!

But this time, what was different was that after the first ascent to Level 10 announcement, the Killing Game once again issued a global announcement—

"Ding! Congratulations to player Lin Chuan for reaching Level 10, earning the World ID: AA007 world for this world!"

"Congratulations to player Lin Chuan for achieving the title: Pioneer!"

"Congratulations to AA007 world, for being listed in the First Sequence! Rewarding all players in this world: All attributes +10!"

"Congratulations to AA007 world, for generating a World Boss! The World Boss Contribution Leaderboard is temporarily open! All players are urged to work together and eliminate the World Boss as soon as possible!"

The series of announcements completely stunned players worldwide!

After a brief moment of calm, various chat channels went wild with screen-filling messages!
