The upgrade of the sacred tree would give Lin Yao new talents, as well as increase his upper limit. Lin Yao had already decided that he would advance to become a silver warlord upon the advancement of all three sacred trees.

‘I wonder what my limit will be after the three sacred trees advance. 3,000%? 30 times the limit of ordinary people? I don’t think it’ll be that much. Although the advancement of one sacred tree to the diamond level can increase my limit to 1,000%, the increment is smaller and harder to attain as the limit increases. I will be satisfied if the three sacred trees can increase my limit to 20 times that of ordinary people.’

As he pondered the advancement of the sacred trees, Lin Yao walked out of the room and greeted the group of ladies.

“Why aren’t you guys asleep yet?”

“We’re not tired and we can take turns to rest during the day. Ah Yao, you should be resting more.”

“I’ve had enough rest. Wait for the good news in the room.”

Upon finishing his words, he got the feathered serpent spirit to possess his body. Without taking the stairs, Lin Yao simply flew out of the window, soaring into the night sky of Shanghai.

‘Freaks, I am here. Are you ready to be harvested?!’

Lin Yao was very ambitious and high-spirited when he left the house and was prepared to collect a huge amount of merit points tonight.

Half an hour later…

The sound of the police sirens was heard in the surroundings of the room where Lin Yao lived. Pale-faced and blindfolded with a black cloth, Lin Yao had been escorted back to the campus of University of Monster Science and Technology by a large group of armed policemen and military personnel.

He could hear voices reminding him during the journey.

“Student Lin Yao, we have set up arrays in the university to conceal your aura. Please don’t go out at night unless it is absolutely necessary.”

“Thank you for the reminder. I get it.”

“Alright, your assistants are here. We won’t disturb Mr. Lin’s rest then.”

Soon, the military personnel and armed police left. Yan Yu’er, Qin Xue, and the other ladies rushed over to Lin Yao in fear and panic.

“Ah Yao, are you okay?”

“What exactly is happening?”

Their mainstay, Lin Yao, was seriously wounded, and the ladies had no idea what to do.

On the other hand, although Lin Yao’s eyes had been covered by a black cloth, he looked very calm.

He didn’t need the ladies to help him as he headed toward his room alone. At the same time, he consoled them.

“Don’t worry, I am fine. I’ve been besieged.”

Although he had wanted to say this with a calm voice, despite his determination, he looked extremely upset at the thought of what had happened half an hour ago.

He had not expected to encounter such a bizarre situation when he was out at night.

Lin Yao didn’t act rashly when he was out tonight. Just like in the daytime, he went searching for freaks only when a group of martial artists who could be his reinforcements had already gathered along the way.

He had a wonderful plan. He would search for freaks, and others would kill them. Then, everyone could share the points.

Although Lin Yao would face very few risks, as he was behind the scenes, many people were willing to team up with them. The reason was very simple. People were most afraid that freaks were hard to guard oneself against. With Lin Yao, the threat would be greatly reduced.

As there were many freaks at night, Lin Yao had thought he would be able to earn more points.

This had gone according to Lin Yao’s plan. Mysterious lands were born in places where humans congregated. Shanghai had a large number of mysterious lands. Simultaneously, the spirit energy tide had caused turbulence in these spaces and many freaks had left the mysterious lands and wandered into the real world.

In comparison to the beasts that had to break the defense of the city to get into Shanghai, there were many more freaks coming out of the mysterious lands.

However, a situation that surprised Lin Yao had occurred. The large group of freaks disregarded the martial artists who acted alongside Lin Yao and focused on attacking Lin Yao.

They were different from the beasts during the daytime. Although the beasts had also focused on attacking Lin Yao, their methods weren’t way out of the ordinary. They would either charge forward nimbly, spurt bone-piercing poison, or launch elemental attacks against Lin Yao. All of this was tangible, and Lin Yao could either dodge or block them effortlessly.

However, the abilities of the freaks were unpredictable. In the past, Lin Yao had encountered the balloon-shooting vendor, which could kill with one shot of its gun, the Whac-A-Mole freak, which could hammer anyone shorter than it, and the mirror freak, which could pull anyone who had a fearful expression into its mirror space. In other words, it was completely impossible to guard oneself against the abilities of a freak.

Tonight, Lin Yao had encountered or found many freaks—a little girl selling flowers, an automatic printer, a special staircase, blood-colored playing cards… The freaks could do anything that one could think of. You name it, and they could do it.

When he found those freaks, Lin Yao was half a meter away from them. There was a large number of martial artists blocking the way of Lin Yao and the freaks.

According to Lin Yao’s plan, the freaks would engage in fights and killings with humans as soon as they encountered them.

However, the situation did not unfold according to his thoughts. He did not know if it was because they had been controlled or had sensed that Lin Yao was a threat.

Upon seeing Lin Yao, the entire group of freaks disregarded the rest of the martial artists and pounced on Lin Yao.

As the abilities of the freaks were too peculiar, those martial artists couldn’t stop them from attacking Lin Yao.

Take the little girl selling flowers as an example. As soon as she took out her flowers, uncontrollable feelings of sorrow appeared in Lin Yao’s heart, making him want to buy all the flowers in her hands.

Of course, he would buy them with his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

There were numerous internal organs in the little girl’s basket, all of which she had earned by selling flowers.

The little girl selling flowers did not meet a good end. As soon as Lin Yao was bewitched, the sound of thunderbolt roared in his mind and jolted him out of the trance. While doing her best to bewitch Lin Yao, that little girl had been eliminated by the surrounding martial artists within a very short time.

However, Lin Yao did not feel happy about the death of the little girl. Instead, he had a sense of foreboding.

‘Something is amiss. Is it because of my fortune? Those freaks have noticed my fortune and all of them are coming to attack me?’

Just as he had expected, he was in a precarious situation. Following this, Lin Yao would be the first target of all the freaks he encountered.

Although most of the freaks doing this were eliminated by the other martial artists while they were busy attacking Lin Yao, Lin Yao was dumbstruck when a chaos-level (high) freak appeared.

That was a very unique existence. Lin Yao observed the freak, which looked like the fuzzy back view of a figure. As it was very fuzzy-looking, Lin Yao instinctively wanted to catch a clearer glimpse of the freak and then assess its ability.

However, when Lin Yao focused his mind to look at it, that fuzzy figure did not turn around. All of a sudden, its head turned 180 degrees and a vehement, spiteful voice suddenly echoed in Lin Yao’s ears.

“You saw it, right?”

The abrupt sound made Lin Yao jump in shock. Then, he… went blind.

Lin Yao, who had been flying in the sky, felt really screwed. He couldn’t figure out why he had suddenly gone blind.

Fortunately, he could accept electromagnetic waves and transform them into 3D images in his mind. Becoming blind wouldn’t impact Lin Yao that much. Soon, that freak had been eliminated by the titled warlord, who had caught up with it.

However, this battle had left Lin Yao feeling afraid, especially after he learned that the fuzzy freak had initially been fighting with the titled warlord. It was only when Lin Yao appeared that it dashed over to Lin Yao after noticing his aura, all the while enduring the titled warlord’s attacks.

This made Lin Yao realize he could no longer continue searching at night.

‘What kind of feud and grudges do you guys have against me? Why do you have to hunt me down?!”
