Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Jie’s points were exactly 8,574!

“I want to exchange my points for this Death Light Helmet.”

Yatasha smiled in relief as she heard Lin Jie and tilted her head niftily. “You have good taste, that’s a great choice.”

Lin Jie coughed, speechless. “Yatasha, the items you showed me were either Mages’ Scrolls, or Hunters and Knights’ Skills... Isn’t it obvious that you wanted me to choose the helmet?”

Yatasha’s calm demeanor was broken as she blushed when Lin Jie pointed out her motive. She tried to maintain her composure as she said, “That was your own choice.”

“Hehe, I understand. Thanks!” Lin Jie nodded obediently and equipped the helmet.

The design of the Death Light Helmet was similar to that of demon eyes. It covered Lin Jie’s face fully with savage and ferocious Dark Runes, causing the helmet to emit a wrathful vibe. The ambiance was thickened with the two curved horns that looked like demon fangs. Even Lin Jie’s eyes were covered in a blood-red hue, showcasing the effects of the helmet.

“The Death Light Helmet was a gift from a Dark Shrine Commander when I saved him. Thus, I believe that everyone has the Holy Light inside of them.” Yatasha’s eyes grew deep. Then she shook her head, as though to shake her thoughts away, and continued, “The Heart of Darkness is about to be awakened, which will result in the hidden creatures of darkness to appear as well. I have to discuss this with the Bishop. Tyrese, come along with me since you are the Raid Commander for War of Light. As for you, I shall give you this bottle of Holy Light Corrosive Potion, it might be useful for you.”

Ding~

—”You have obtained the [Holy Light Corrosive Potion].”

[Holy Light Corrosive Potion]: The target’s Defense decreases by 50%, and the effect lasts for 1 hour. If the target is a Holy Light creature, its attributes will decrease by 90%, and it will be unable to attack and use any skills.

“Thanks a lot.” Lin Jie was delighted as he kept the potion into his bag.

The third Main Plot Dungeon was filled with Holy Light monsters! With this potion, it would be a piece of cake to conquer the dungeon.

“Alright, you can head back now. As the judge for the final tournament, you can’t be missing from the first-ever tournament of the guild. When your race wins the War of Light and gains the recognition of our Holy Church and the Empire, large amounts of resources will come flooding in.” Tyrese said seriously, “By the way, Viscount, I have informed the King regarding your City of Light Leader position. However, he has yet to release the announcement, I believe it will be done soon. Hence, you can await the good news.”

Lin Jie nodded, getting the Death Light Helmet was a great profit! Yatasha probably still had strong feelings for him, or else she wouldn’t have prepared the helmet for him.

The Death Light Helmet’s attributes were tailor-made for Lin Jie.

Yatasha wanted to help Lin Jie out when she saw that he was stuck at Level 40, but was still not done with his job-change. But unbeknownst to her, Lin Jie had been practicing the Sea Riding Skill in the bar, leading him to delay his job-change.

There was a brilliant radiance!

Space began warping, and Lin Jie was back at the arena as he opened his eyes. The crowd instantly went wild!

“What the heck! Lone Wolf is back!”

“How can it be possible, he did not end up in jail!”

“Look at his helmet, it’s no longer the Dark Gold Fragment [Lightless Eye], guessing from its design and shine, it’s probably, probably—” One of the players gulped heavily, and shouted, “Legendary Fragment!”

“Do the rules no longer apply to him? Could he be the GM?”

“Get lost, idiot! The New Age does not have a GM!”

Lin Jie stood on the stage with high spirits as he took in his surroundings.

Lone Wolf was back! He hadn’t been punished, and instead, he had received a Legendary Fragment Helmet!

Lin Jie held his hands behind his back as he surveyed Corporal Mohamed and snorted. “That Demon Robe was Dark Shrine’s jackall. Holy Church has punished him and kicked him out of the tournament. This tournament is the honorable battle of Guild of Light, the Holy Church will not allow anyone from the Dark Shrine to appear in front of the Holy Light! Mohamed, do you understand?”

Mohamed was filled with rage, but he could only snort and be silent.

“Alright, let the competition continue.” Lin Jie sat down firmly on his seat, but he looked unkind as he eyed the rest of the competitors maliciously.

Another round of tournament had occurred when Lin Jie was away.

City of Sea King’s Skyscraper vs. Star Kill.

Star Kill was an extremely strong player, and his combo power had exceeded 50 long ago. Thus, it would not be difficult for him to slay Skyscraper. However, that fella’s eyes were glued to the goddess, Bella, so Skyscraper had managed to locate his weak spot. He had frozen Star Kill in a single move and then killed him with his combo attack.

“Skyscraper?” Lin Jie looked towards his direction.

Skyscraper tossed a smile at Lin Jie but shuddered as he felt Lin Jie’s calculating glance. Lone Wolf was known for shielding his shortcomings, would Lone Wolf avenge his teammates?

After that mess, everyone planned to please Lin Jie. Who would dare to go against someone that disregarded NPCs’ punishments?

At that moment, the third round had commenced.

Qiu Yuan vs. Ninth Master.

The system seemed to have planned this farce purposefully. Qiu Yuan grew pale and shivered when that name sounded as she recalled the near-attack. She glanced towards Lin Jie subconsciously as a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.

She was afraid of... being seen by Lin Jie.

This glance fuelled Lin Jie’s rage. Ninth Master, had a hidden job, the Water-Splitting Assassin. He was also An Xiaoran’s partner. In Lin Jie’s previous, that fellow had made a rotten name for himself! Together with Snail with House, they had been known as the ‘2 Pervert Demons’, and their antics had spread around The New Age.

“Hehehe, beauty, we meet again.” Ninth Master licked his lips, and his perverse laughter sounded. His hands grabbed the air, as though he was holding onto something soft, and a look of content fell onto his face.

Qiu Yuan grew stiff, and Ninth Master took advantage of that split second to activate Rush, thus closing the distance between them. Water-Splitting Assassins were known for their speed, and instantly, the dagger sliced three times consecutively onto Qiu Yuan’s cape.

Instantly, three rips appeared.

A hint of Qiu Yuan’s supple skin was revealed.

“Such good skin! If I can take all of your clothes off, it will be worth it even if I lose the competition.” Ninth Master’s dagger danced wildly in the air as he spoke.

That was the passive attack specific to Water-Splitting Assassins: Armor Split, as well as the skill [Thousand Strikes]!

Thousand Strikes was the explosive skill of Water-Splitting Assassins. They would be able to attack 10 times consecutively in 1 second, and this skill would last for 3 seconds, and unable to be blocked by other skills. During this period, any attack suffered would result in a state of stun. Thus, this was an ultimate move.

His goal was to slice Qiu Yuan’s clothes, and he had already disregarded the end results of this match.

The pleasure from getting avenged filled An Xiaoran’s eyes as she got ready to capture that moment.

“Despicable, shameless.” Qiu Yuan ground her teeth as she resorted to a slap instead of any further attacks. This slap did not have any attack power, but it sounded bright and loud!

Slap!

Ninth Master was stunned as a burn exploded on his face. A bloody hand mark was imprinted on his face. His expression grew maliciously as his dagger sliced towards Qiu Yuan’s clothes. Meanwhile, Qiu Yuan toggled out the System Tab and was ready to... lose the match if he struck again.

“Ninth Master, I noticed that there is some black hue on your face. I suspect that it was due to the usage of Dark Shrine magic. Hence, you will have to undergo an investigation.” At that moment, Lin Jie bellowed and grabbed Ninth Master’s head with his large hands. He lifted Ninth Master up and pinned on him a severe crime. “You have allied with the Dark Shrine, and that is unforgivable, bring him down!”

Whoosh—

Lin Jie tossed Ninth Master abruptly down the stage! At that moment, Lin Jie felt his vision grow warm, and his eyes, which were covered by a red hue, blasted out a red ray of Death Light that pierced through Ninth Master’s body!

-1,736!

That was the death light effect of the Death Light Helmet.

Ninth Master plunged into the ground, as though a flightless kite.

—System Announcement: Congratulations to player Qiu Yuan for winning this round.

“In for a penny, in for a pound, I shall remove all the supporting powers of the Dark Shrine first, to prevent them from interfering with the tournament.” Lin Jie snorted as he activated Dragon Armor Removal and blasted the attack towards Snail with House! This Dwarf Bandit was An Xiaoran’s lackey as well, and all his equipment exploded upon impact with Lin Jie’s attack. He was then instakilled by a Blade Aura!

The crowd went wild!

Lin Jie was helping his teammates so openly!

Qiu Yuan was stunned. She had expected some form of help from Lin Jie, just like Zheng Ziliang, but she had not anticipated Lin Jie to kill Ninth Master straight up. A strong sense of reliance grew in Qiu Yuan’s heart as though there was nothing to fear so long as Lin Jie was there...

Snail with House and Ninth Master had died rather unjustly as they were not linked to the Dark Shrine at all. However, who else was able to differentiate now that Tyrese was absent? Players? The Corporal? Or those Paladins that were not as strong as Tyrese? None of them could! Hence, no one could stop Lin Jie from pinning all those crimes!

Lin Jie seemed to be on a roll after killing two men, as he shouted at a player clad in black armor, “Based on your outfit, you must be a lackey of the Dark Shrine, get over here! Those that are tactful get off the stage and forsake the tournament. As long as you guys don’t interfere with the competition, I will let you guys off.”

That man was Baili Xuanyuan.

“Hohoho, hahaha...” Baili Xuanyuan chuckled out loud before removing his helmet to reveal his gorgeous face. He looked at Lin Jie with disdain and smiled. “Lone Wolf, do you think that you are back to your invincible state as one month ago? You will never know how terrifying your enemies are. Baizhan, teach him a lesson. Today, I will stomp on your corpse and announce the return of my Three Alliances!”

“Yes.”

Baizhan Yusheng was an extremely hardy Shield Specialist, and he now stood coldly in front of Lin Jie. His angular face showed determination as he held up his shield and bellowed, “Come, Lone Wolf, it’s time we have a proper fight.”

“A fight? With you? Baizhan Yusheng, I let you go previously at Crying Bay, so I thought that you would be smarter than this. Such being the case, let me teach you a lesson.” Lin Jie snorted as he wielded Broken Blade, and the blade aura was carved onto the ground.
