C3 Lin Bei Killed His Enemy in His Previous Life in One Move!!

Lin Bei crossed the river and reached its midpoint, where he stood before the Ancient Altar.

The altar was nearly in ruins from the relentless erosion of the river.

Yet, atop the altar, a dragon-shaped carving remained miraculously unscathed!

Each time Lin Bei gazed upon the carving, he'd slip into a trance.

Exhaling deeply, he produced the Golden Heart.

As Cai Xukun had advised in a past life, all Lin Bei needed to do was place the Golden Heart upon the dragon carving.

Without hesitation, Lin Bei did just that.

The moment the Golden Heart touched the carving, a shimmering light burst forth.

The stream, which had been eroding the altar, parted around it, sparing the ancient structure.

The dragon carving then began to radiate golden halos, casting a sacred glow. The light coalesced into a formation, enveloping the Golden Heart.

Lin Bei's anticipation left him breathless as he awaited the outcome.

If he could unlock the dragon carving, a Five-clawed Golden Dragon would be his, and his destiny would be forever altered.

But just then, an arrow whizzed through the bushes, aimed straight at him!

Startled, Lin Bei instinctively executed a Z-shaped Step.

His silhouette traced a "Z" in the air, narrowly evading the arrow.

Despite his low Agility, Lin Bei managed to dodge the projectile with flawless precision.

"Player Sweet Dragon Whistle has attacked you. For the next five minutes, you may retaliate against any member of Sweet Dragon Whistle's team without incurring a Scarlet Name or death penalty," announced a system alert.

No sooner had Lin Bei steadied himself than a group burst from the underbrush, all bearing the "Dragon Whistle" moniker.

A shadow fell across Lin Bei's face.

Dragon Whistle was Cai Xukun's team, an elite squad within the Alliance.

And there, leading the charge, was Cai Xukun himself, known in-game as Universal Dragon Whistle.

Lin Bei hadn't expected them to arrive minutes ahead of his calculations.

Silent, his gaze followed the advancing figures—adversaries from a former life.

Cai Xukun, whip in hand, stepped forward.

Swinging the whip, he locked eyes with Lin Bei and demanded, "Lin Bei, how do you know this place's secret?"

Cai Xukun had recently embarked on a formidable quest that had cost him a fortune to uncover.

He had exchanged a hefty sum of gold coins for the secret, having bribed an NPC into divulging it.

Yet, to his dismay, someone else had beaten him to it.

Fuming, Cai Xukun confronted Lin Bei.

Lin Bei simply smiled and coolly replied, "That's none of your concern."

"You'll pay for this!"

"You're too arrogant. I'll kill you right here!"

Beside Cai Xukun, the Swordman known as Easy Dragon Whistle glowered, sword at the ready. "My Young Master can find out who you are in real life and end you," he threatened.

Lin Bei dismissed the Swordman's claim.

Eon Realms was vigilant about player privacy.

Once a player exited the game, their likeness faded from others' memories, unless they knew each other in the real world.

In recordings, players' faces were always blurred.

Thus, Lin Bei spared them no further words. He stepped from the stream, drawing his short knife.

With a burst of speed, he lunged at Cai Xukun's crew.

"Kill him! I must have what's inside the altar," Cai Xukun commanded, his eyes burning with desire for the dragon egg emerging from the altar.

Cai Xukun's five teammates drew their weapons, ready for battle.

But Lin Bei suddenly halted, his knife plunging to the earth, activating the Hexagram Formation.

A dazzling light erupted, revealing a stunningly beautiful bunny girl with ample curves.

The Dragon Whistle team froze, baffled—Lin Bei was no summoner, and certainly not one for conjuring bunny girls.

Yet in their moment of shock, their lives hung by a thread.

The bunny girl's eyes, like rubies, cast a bewitching glow, her Charm skill taking hold.

The six warriors, caught in her gaze, were instantly ensnared, their senses scrambled.

Lin Bei, composed, crouched and thrust his dagger into the soil, stirring up a fiery red light that morphed into a trap.

Rising, he stepped back as the bunny girl, following an unseen signal, teleported gracefully over the snare.

But then, a bizarre turn of events unfolded!

Cai Xukun and his five companions charged toward the bunny girl's location, but before they could get close, they stumbled right into a trap!

"The Elemental Trap has been triggered!"

[Kind Reminder: Due to six individuals falling into the trap, the enemy will suffer 160% Elemental Damage per second for 3 seconds!]

As the alert chimed in, flames engulfed the trap.

Lin Bei's magical damage was suddenly in demand.

Cai Xukun was wealthy, having invested heavily in beginner gear from the Beginner Village.

Yet, at Levels 1 to 2, this gear offered mere defense points, utterly inadequate to withstand three seconds of scorching.

Thus, the six were incinerated within the trap.

To Lin Bei's astonishment, although Cai Xukun's team yielded only six Experience Points, they dropped a whole ten gold coins!

"To purchase gold coins directly from the system, one must use RMB. 1000RMB for a single gold coin, and they had ten? They're loaded!"

"I'll need to make a few more heists in the future!" Lin Bei mused as he collected the coins.

At that moment, the Ancient Altar behind him began to change.

Lin Bei spun around to see a golden egg hovering over the dilapidated altar.

"There it is!"

His eyes gleaming, Lin Bei stepped forward.

But his excitement turned to concern as the information panel popped up:

Five-clawed Golden Dragon Egg

Quality: Grow-able

Type: Dragon Egg / Pet

Effect: Upon hatching, you will receive a Five-clawed Golden Dragon. Exact stats to be determined post-hatching!

Restriction: Only summoners may summon it.

Description: According to legend, the ancient altar holds the Dragon Clan's secrets. Only the Son of Fate, who can commune with all living things, can unravel these mysteries.

A pet egg, yet summonable only by a summoner.

Lin Bei's spirits plummeted, his expression clouding over, "Cai Xukun is a summoner; that explains his ability to summon it. Now, what's my next move?"

A spark of inspiration flashed in Lin Bei's eyes as he seized the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Egg. A daring plan formed in his mind, sending his pulse racing.

Once his Devouring Level hit 100%, he could potentially use All Things Psychic to consume the egg. Could he then transform it into a second summoning ability?

With this thrilling prospect, Lin Bei could barely contain his eagerness to battle monsters and maximize his Devouring Level.

"Stay focused. There are other pressing matters at hand. I must proceed methodically."

After regaining his composure, Lin Bei decided to return to the village first. His past life's memories hinted at a mysterious NPC who could procure many treasures.

However, as he approached the remains of Cai Xukun and his team, he paused abruptly.

"If I can plunder monster corpses, can I do the same with these bodies? It's worth a shot."

With a smirk, Lin Bei activated All Things Psychic.

In an instant, the six bodies vanished.

The system notification followed:

"Congratulations, your All Things Psychic is now active. You have successfully plundered 1 point of Constitution and 0.1 of the Universal Devour Gene. Your Devouring Progress has increased by 1%."

[Your Charm Rabbit Devour Gene has reached Level 1. Charm Rabbit Summoning has advanced from White to Black Iron. Your attributes, summon duration, and talent effects have been updated. Please review them at your convenience.]
