70: Lei Qingming, the battle to vindicate himself!
"You have successfully defeated a Beast General Rank Beast Soul Master. Obtained: silver treasure chest x2!"
After defeating Chi Ying, the System's notification sounded in Lin Yuan's ear.
To his surprise, winning this battle had directly granted him two silver-grade chests.
It seemed that Chi Ying's strength was indeed somewhat greater than Chen Hai's.
Because of this, the rewards were more generous.
After he stepped off the stage, Wang Jinze immediately came forward with a smile.
"Not bad at all. I didn't expect your acting skills to be that good."
Wang Jinze said with a grin, lowering his voice.
"There were still some flaws."
Lin Yuan spoke up, "The final blow almost gave it away."
"Anyone with sharp eyes should easily be able to see that the final claw strike was on a completely different level compared to my previous attacks."
Wang Jinze shrugged and spoke with an indifferent look, "After all, it was your first time. Being able to act like that is already very good. Anyway, I didn't see anything wrong."
"Even if someone did see through it, it doesn't matter. At worst, we just won't take their money."
"Someone told me before not to be too greedy and try to take everyone's money; just take the money of fools."
"Fortunately, there are enough fools in this world."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, "What you're saying actually makes some sense."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, go do your thing. I'm preparing to Cultivate."
"You guy, you're really like an ascetic monk. Is there nothing else to do all day besides Cultivating?"
"You finally got into university; you should date someone and enjoy life a bit, right?"
Just then, Wang Jinze suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, where's that girl who greeted you before?"
"What was her name? Right, Su Muxue!"
"Why haven't I seen her lately? I thought she would come to watch your matches too."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan was also slightly stunned.
He only then realized that he indeed hadn't seen Su Muxue for a long time; he hadn't even heard from her.
He didn't know what that girl had been busy with lately... After arriving at the Training Hall, Lin Yuan once again opened a Low-level Cultivation Room for himself.
However, after entering the cultivation room, Lin Yuan was in no hurry to start absorbing the inferior beast soul crystals. Instead, he first took out the three silver treasure chests.
Then, without any hesitation, Lin Yuan immediately chose to open them.
Following that, the System's notification sounded in his ear.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully opened a silver treasure chest. Obtained: 10,000 evolution points!"
"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully opened a silver treasure chest. Obtained: One beast general rank beast god weapon!"
"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully opened a silver treasure chest. Obtained: 10,000 evolution points!"
"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully opened a silver treasure chest. Obtained: Ten high-grade beast soul crystals!"
"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully opened a silver treasure chest. Obtained: 10,000 evolution points!"
"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully opened a silver treasure chest. Obtained: Five beast spirit pills!"
The three silver chests yielded a total of six rewards for Lin Yuan.
A total of 30,000 evolution points, ten high-grade beast soul crystals, five beast spirit pills, and one beast god weapon.
Among them, high-grade beast soul crystals were worth 10,000 each, so ten was 100,000.
Five beast spirit pills were worth 50,000 each, so five was 250,000.
And the most valuable one was undoubtedly the beast god weapon.
A beast general rank beast god weapon, even the cheapest ones, sold for at least 50,000 or more.
As for the more expensive ones, the prices ranged from 100,000 to 500,000.
Lin Yuan glanced at it; the beast god weapon he had opened from the silver chest this time was named [Frost Beast Claw].
Like the [crimson flame claw] he had opened before, it belonged to the offensive category of beast god weapons.
However, by comparison, the properties of the [crimson flame claw] were more suitable for Lin Yuan.
As for this [Frost Beast Claw], since he couldn't use it himself, he might as well just sell it.
Based on the quality of this beast god weapon, selling it for two or three hundred thousand shouldn't be a problem.
Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth.
It seemed that with the System, wanting to make money was really not a difficult task.
In these past two days, he had only engaged in two battles.
And the rewards obtained from the battles already totaled more than 500,000.
As long as he continued to win without interruption, the chests he obtained would only increase.
Furthermore, if the strength of the opponents he defeated was high enough, the quality of the chests would also improve!
Without realizing it, Lin Yuan had found another path to wealth!
...Over the next few days.
Lin Yuan's ranking was steadily rising.
In just five days, Lin Yuan had defeated five opponents in succession.
And his ranking had soared all the way from 242nd to 142nd.
Unfortunately, from these five battles, Lin Yuan only harvested a total of four silver treasure chests.
This was because, among these five opponents, two were members of the [Ranking Hunters] organization, and their own strength was extremely inconsistent with their rankings.
Normally, under the protection of the organization, they could maintain their existing rankings.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuan wouldn't give them that Face.
So, after encountering Lin Yuan's challenge, these two did not hesitate at all and directly chose to concede.
Since they had already conceded before the fight started, Lin Yuan naturally couldn't obtain the chest for winning the battle.
Moreover, among these opponents, not a single one possessed strength at the Beast King Level or above.
This also meant that Lin Yuan still had no chance to obtain a gold-grade chest or higher.
Fortunately, tomorrow would be a new week.
In other words, by tomorrow, Lin Yuan could once again perform cross-tier challenges, challenging anyone within the top fifty ranks ahead of him.
Fifty ranks ahead of 142nd would be 92nd.
Lin Yuan's first reaction was to go to Wang Jinze to ask for intelligence on his opponents.
After he returned to the dormitory, Wang Jinze was organizing the intelligence he had on hand.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan, he didn't seem particularly surprised; instead, it was as if he had expected it long ago.
"You're here to ask me for intelligence, right?"
Wang Jinze said with a smile, "I've already prepared it for you. I've sent it to your phone; see for yourself."
"Thanks."
Lin Yuan said his thanks, then directly took out his phone and began to check the other party's information.
hidden dragon ranking 92nd, Lei Qingming, Awakened beast soul: [Thunder Beast].
This beast soul was a power-type beast soul. Its appearance was that of a giant blue beast surrounded by lightning. It could manipulate lightning at will, and its speed and explosive power were both extremely startling.
Previously fought against Beast King Level One Star Beast Soul Master Liu Changfeng and won.
Previously fought against Beast King Level One Star Beast Soul Master Wang Daoshi and won.
Previously fought against Beast King Level Two Star Beast Soul Master Yuan Liean and lost.
Estimated strength: Beast King Level One Star Peak to Beast King Level Two Star.
...It had to be said that the intelligence Wang Jinze collected was quite comprehensive.
In this data, not only were Lei Qingming's beast soul characteristics and estimated strength listed, but even his previous battle records were recorded in great detail.
It was worth mentioning that Lei Qingming had twice fought against Beast King Level One Star Beast Soul Masters and had won both times.
That being the case, he definitely had Beast King Level strength.
However, according to the records in the intelligence, Lei Qingming's only loss was to Yuan Liean.
It was likely for this reason that the intelligence estimated Lei Qingming's strength to be between Beast King Level One Star Peak and Beast King Level Two Star.
Just then, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, what are our current odds at?"
Wang Jinze grinned and said, "One to one point five."
"In other words, if you can really achieve total victory, then the ten million I put in will yield at least fifteen million in profit."
Hearing this number, Lin Yuan couldn't help but click his tongue, "That high?"
Fifteen million in profit—even if he could only get forty percent, that was still six million!
For Lin Yuan, this could definitely be called a huge sum of money!
If all this money were converted into beast spirit pills, that would be exactly one hundred and twenty pills!
If he could really get this money, Lin Yuan's strength would also undergo a qualitative leap!
Just then, Wang Jinze spoke up, "Actually, this is nothing yet. Until now, the odds are still constantly rising."
"After all, it's currently widely believed outside that it's impossible for you to be Lei Qingming's opponent."
"It can only be said that your acting has indeed misled a large portion of people."
Hearing this, a smile couldn't help but appear on Lin Yuan's Face.
Over these past few days, his acting skills could be said to have become more and more proficient.
In these few battles, Lin Yuan had perfectly controlled his strength at the level of a newly entered Beast King Level.
Just like that duel with Chi Ying, even a Beast General Level Nine Star Beast Soul Master could exchange a few moves with him.
Under these circumstances, these people naturally wouldn't think Lin Yuan was very strong.
Then, Wang Jinze spoke again, "If nothing unexpected happens, once the odds rise a bit more, I'll prepare to close the betting."
"Otherwise, once you win against Lei Qingming, many people will probably catch on."
"By that time, I'm afraid we won't be able to maintain such high odds."
"It's indeed time to quit while we're ahead."
Lin Yuan first nodded, then quickly reacted, "Does that mean that in my battle with Lei Qingming, I no longer need to hide my strength?"
"Of course."
"Also, I forgot to tell you, this Lei Qingming is also a member of the [Ranking Hunters]. After being defeated by Yuan Liean, he chose to join that organization."
"So, when you make your move, you don't need to have any scruples."
Speaking to this point, Wang Jinze split his mouth into a grin, revealing an incomparably brilliant smile, "This battle will be the battle for your recognition!"
