As someone who prioritizes killing others, I'm forced to stream a death game.

“The artifacts obtained through this method will erode a person’s spirit—that is, what we call being possessed by a demon. However, the magic tricks obtained through this method are different from the artifacts.”

"Oh?"

"Deceptive tools are even more sinister than simple tricks. Whether obtained through the most barbaric means or purchased from a store, they all carry different dangers. But tricks are different—tricks purchased from stores do not have a particularly strong corrosive effect on a person's mind."

"what?"

Before Liu Ren could speak, the other P5s, who had obviously not heard of this before, all expressed their surprise and doubt.

Seeing this, Sun Yujie explained, "Whether it's trickery or magical tools, detailed explanations and research are not things that you P5s are qualified to do. I'll explain it to you now—just keep it to yourselves."

"Yes."*6

"Trickery and trickery tools can actually be considered the same thing when viewed as a whole."

When Sun Yujie opened his mouth.

Liu Ren said in his live stream: "Brothers, quickly take notes, this is new intelligence, and it's related to the supernatural."

[Received, Master!]

[Received, Master Liu!]

【oj8k, Captain Liu!】

But isn't there a live stream replay? Why not just extract a clip from the recording?

[Shut up! Where did this lowlife come from? Martial Arts Hall, throw him out!]

【receive! 】

"Simply put, trickery can be seen as a part of trick tools, but trick tools are not the same as trickery. Do you understand?"

“The trickery must contain trickery techniques, but after you mastered the trickery techniques, you did not have any trickery tools to protect you. These two things are actually one and the same.”

"As for the trickery in the special shops, according to the gang's research, it does not have the corrosive effect on people's minds. And correspondingly, its power and effect have been greatly reduced."

"Therefore, strictly speaking, those who have mastered this kind of trickery cannot be considered practitioners of trickery. As a result, they cannot enter the Trickery Martial Hall. For example, you people—at most, you can only continue to stay in the Mortal Martial Hall and can be considered relatively strong Mortal Martial Artists."

Apart from Liu Ren, the other five people were clearly hearing this for the first time.

Everyone looked completely bewildered.

They still thought they were already extraordinary individuals who had entered the realm of the supernatural—

So, it turns out I was just a half-baked charlatan?!

As if anticipating everyone's feelings, Sun Yujie casually offered a word of comfort: "However, you don't need to be discouraged by this—not just anyone can obtain such trickery. You are all top experts in the Mortal Martial Hall. Don't compare yourselves to the absolute elites of the gang. Right now, isn't each of you above the hundred?"

"Yes..." Everyone quickly composed themselves and bowed their heads in response.

"So—Liu Ren, given your previous performance, I can grant you the art of trickery, allowing you to half-enter the realm of trickery. But you are still some distance from truly entering the realm of trickery—once you perform outstandingly at the Martial Arts Festival, I can apply to the Vice Leader on your behalf."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

"Ah."

Just as Liu Ren was wondering how Sun Yujie would give him that so-called trickery.

His atrium terminal then beeped with a message notification.

"Open it and take a look," Sun Yujie said.

"..."

Liu Ren opened the terminal.

Then, a private message was sent to Sun Yujie in his private chat interface.

After clicking on it.

The contents were then directly seen by Liu Ren alone.

It was a huge, densely packed, seemingly chaotic and irregular, indescribable, bizarre pattern.

Liu Ren felt his spirit being instantly sucked in—

The whole world seemed to have transformed into a combination of extremely abstract and bizarre patterns.

His mind began to suffer some indescribable attack—

It's just like a normal person eating mushrooms.

It's hard to describe this feeling.

However, these attacks failed to penetrate Liu Ren's mental defenses at all.

He did not sense any "threat" from it.

I only felt a kind of...guidance.

It feels like we're at a stalemate, and this situation seems like it won't end.

Liu Ren simply followed that guidance and let himself "get dizzy" for a while.

When he came to his senses again...

Looking up, I saw the skeleton of a gigantic monster, hundreds of meters tall.

"……This is……"

He silently felt the spiritual impact of the scene before him.

Then, I returned to reality.

Liu Ren's dazed pupils quickly regained focus.

He memorized the "law" that had lingered in his mind.

It's now etched in my mind.

"Finished reading?" Sun Yujie asked.

"...I've finished reading it, thank you, Master."

"This is what you deserve."

At this moment, in Sun Yujie's private chat interface.

That secret message has been automatically destroyed.

"Although this kind of trickery is not easily passed on, I still have to remind you—tricks must not be taught to outsiders, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy. Do you understand?"

"understood."

Liu Ren nodded.

His mind was focused on his kill system panel.

The skills section has been divided into two parts.

-

generally:

The Fist of Ten Thousand Fists (Divine Power)

Invisible and without shadow (divine communication)

Slaughtering Life (Communicating with Gods)

Rebirth from the Ashes - Passive (Divine Power)

Trickery:

Thousand Bones Body (Newly Trained)

-

Tricks are indeed different from the abilities that the ordinary body can achieve.

This thing is exclusive to "Eternal Night"...

After presenting the reward to Liu Ren, Sun Yujie began to briefly explain the key points and procedures of the martial arts competition.

Then he reminded:

"We must win at least five matches in this martial arts competition! Only in this way can we increase our chances of winning the upcoming battle against the Golden Crow Group."

"That means each of you has to win at least one game!"

"The gang has high expectations for you."

"do you understand?!"

The six people immediately replied in a firm tone, "Understood!"

Even if it's not for the gang, but just for myself.

They absolutely cannot afford to lose either.

To lose is to die.

Only by winning can one continue to enjoy their status and have other possibilities.

only……

Upon hearing Sun Yujie's request, Liu Ren couldn't help but curse Pi Xinjie in his heart.

Damn it, we only need to win five games in total!

Pi Xinjie told him he had to win at least three games to avoid having his life points reset!

Doesn't that mean he has to complete more than half of the targets by himself?

艸。

Bosses are all corrupt!

After listening to Sun Yujie's requests and arrangements, the six people got up and left the meeting room.

The martial arts tournament is about to begin.

With the convenience of having a central terminal available.

All they need to do is go to the spectator area to watch the battles between the other factions, and then quietly wait for the terminal notification.
