Cosmic Trading System

After the battle with Aolai Mubai, Lin Yun's strength increased once more.

"Buzz!"

With a step, Lin Yun moved to Feiying Firestone's side, and at the same time, he quickly placed the Bloodthirsty Sword against Feiying Firestone's neck, saying coldly, "Surrender, or die!"

He truly had no fondness for the Firestone Family, having resolved to kill Feiying Firestone outright if he did not surrender.

It would be like collecting some interest in advance for the deaths of Xiao Chong and Emma White.

When Feiying Firestone was captured and brought to the arena by Lin Yun, a sense of despair grew within him, with the feeling of life and death being uncertain rapidly spreading through his heart. In his view, the likelihood of being killed by Lin Yun far exceeded the chances of Lin Yun sparing him.

Just then, when he heard Lin Yun's words, he was initially stunned, but then his face lit up with ecstasy.

"I surrender! I surrender!"

Feiying Firestone immediately got up and nodded vigorously, his face full of joy as he spoke.

"Seriously..."

"This Feiying Firestone, he's really too..."

Below the arena, many Cultivators watched this scene, speechless.

To surrender, and to be so happy about it?

"He is from the Firestone Family, after all. Previously, when Lin Yun was competing with others, he was always very courteous toward them. These members of the Firestone Family one by one went up to provoke and scheme against him, and in the end, Lin Yun killed one of them. Then two shameless Ancestors came to deal with Lin Yun...

Luckily, Lin Yun didn't come to harm, but his two friends died because of it. Lin Yun didn't directly kill him, so he really should count himself lucky!"

Another Cultivator said with a cold smile.

He disliked people from great families like the Firestones, who believed themselves superior and wantonly broke the rules. Although Lin Yun was also breaking the rules now, he found it extremely satisfying.

Perhaps Lin Yun's initial courteous manner had earned his approval.

It takes a bad person to grind down another bad person. With these people, one can't be too polite.

"Speaking of which, Lin Yun really stands by his friends. If only we could be his friends too..."

"Yeah, previously, because of the demise of two friends, Lin Yun directly confronted top-tier Super Warriors far stronger than himself. Just now, Lin Yun helped a group of friends achieve good results in this competition. That's not something ordinary people can do..."

Some Cultivators said privately.

Seeing Feiying Firestone surrender, Lin Yun did not insist on pursuing the matter further.

For the same reason as before, he had already broken the rules and did not want to break them further.

With the surrender of Feiying Firestone, Lin Yun won again.

Half of the points Feiying Firestone had earned in his second match were transferred to Lin Yun, causing his score to surge once more.

Then, Lin Yun looked up again.

"Damn..."

"No way, Lin Yun wants to fight again..."

"This is bad, this is really bad..."

Some of the top-ranking exceptional geniuses saw this and began to groan inwardly.

They had already witnessed Lin Yun's strength.

If Lin Yun chose them, their defeat was inevitable.

The most frustrating and humiliating thing was that they couldn't refuse to fight; if they didn't fight, they would be dragged into the arena and be forced to fight.

If Lin Yun were to choose them, they might lose face and points.

So, how could they not complain in their hearts? How could anyone want to be chosen by Lin Yun?

"Firestone..."

Soon, Lin Yun chose another person and said indifferently.

These high-ranking competitors were well-known throughout the universe, and even if they weren't famous before, they certainly were after this competition. Lin Yun had also paid attention to them during his previous fights. Moreover, as Cultivators, they possessed excellent memory, so he recognized almost all of them.

It was another member of the Firestone Family.

Previously, Ao Firestone had killed Xiao Chong, causing Emma White to fall, and at that moment, Lin Yun had felt the impulse to destroy the entire Firestone Family.

Now, he could not wipe out the Firestone Family, but it was possible to collect some interest first.

Although this person's score wasn't among the highest in the group of top competitors, it was still within the range that allowed him to compete against them. And since he was from the Firestone Family, he was the unlucky one.

Just chalk it up to bad luck!

"I surrender, I surrender..."

The Firestone Family member, upon seeing Feiying Firestone being taken by Lin Yun to the arena, had started to feel apprehensive and utterly hopeless. Feiying Firestone, despite being prepared, couldn't withstand Lin Yun's grasp; his own strength was no greater than Feiying Firestone's, and he likely couldn't resist either.

As expected, Lin Yun quickly chose him, and knowing he was not a match, he promptly surrendered.

He had realized whether it was Aolai Mubai or Feiying Firestone, once they went up to the arena, they looked as if they had lost their souls. He dared not go up, for if he suffered any sort of psychological damage, it would be a great loss.

"Surrendering from below the stage, how can that be, you should come up here!"

Lin Yun said indifferently.

"Boom!"

As he spoke, he reached out again, and a powerful energy claw tore towards the other party.

The vitality from Wei Firestone was too strong; during the time he fought with Feiying Firestone, his strength had once again increased, which made his current deployment of the energy claw even more adept.

The person was not far from him, so there was no need for him to deliberately go to the closer arena.

"No..."

The Firestone Family offspring had just managed to shout a single word before being grabbed by the energy claw Lin Yun had unleashed; all his defensive powers collapsed in an instant.

"Bang!"

Lin Yun flicked his wrist, and the person's body once again smashed violently into the edge of the stage.

"How do I feel that, in this short time, Lin Yun's strength has become even stronger?"

"Do you feel it too? I thought it was just my imagination!"

"Such a technique, even a typical Super Warrior of the third level would find it hard to achieve, right?"

At the judges' platform, some Super Warriors were shocked by this scene.

"I can't do it..."

"I can barely manage..."

The Black Dragon King and the Lord of All, two Super Warriors of the third level, exchanged glances, murmuring to each other in a low voice, also deeply shocked.

Their tone contained both relief and anxiety.

Relief that they had not chosen to antagonize Lin Yun to the death before.

Anxiety that Lin Yun was now starting to settle scores after autumn.

They wondered if they would be counted among those Lin Yun would retaliate against.

"After this competition, we should apologize to Lin Yun."

"Indeed, let's do it together then."

Soon, the Black Dragon King and the Lord of All communicated with each other via voice transmission.

On the stage.

"I surrender! I surrender!"

The Firestone Family offspring scrambled onto the stage and before he could even steady himself, he quickly raised both hands, speaking rapidly for fear of speaking too late, lest Lin Yun treat him the same way.

The moment Lin Yun's energy claw lifted him, his mind was clouded, preventing him from considering whether Lin Yun would deliver a fatal blow, his only thought to quickly surrender and prevent Lin Yun from continuing to attack him.

However, his frantic behavior looked extremely clumsy and embarrassed.

Lin Yun glanced at the person, his expression indifferent, without advancing to deal with him further.

He really had no interest in dealing with such spineless individuals.

Throughout his journey, he had encountered many of this sort.

Looking back now, in this world, there were not many who were unafraid of death; once faced with the threat of death, their true nature would be exposed, even if they were the esteemed offspring of powerful forces or hermits of high standing in the eyes of ordinary people.

I wonder if I would act the same way if I were to face such a situation one day?

Suddenly, such a thought arose in Lin Yun's mind.

Unknown.

In the end, that was the answer Lin Yun arrived at.

Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't; he couldn't commit to a definite answer.

Or perhaps, the circumstances and mindset would differ.

"Contestant number one billion… victorious!"

Soon, the referee at the edge of the arena announced the result of the match.

After that person left the stage, Lin Yun quickly set his sights on someone else.

This time, Lin Yun had already chosen his target.

"Firestone… come up!"

It was another member of the Firestone Family.

Below the stage, that Firestone Family offspring's complexion changed, his heart racing as if ten thousand divine beasts stormed through it; Lin Yun was genuinely targeting their Firestone Family's members.
