10025 Chapter 10024-

Li Yuan chuckled to himself as he watched Lin Yi fall into deep thought. He couldn't help but respect Lin Yi even more-this was the perfect way to play hard to get. It was a brilliant move.

Human nature was like this. If you were to take the initiative to cling to him, you would only be abandoned.

On the contrary, if you don't care about it, he will be worried about the gains and losses.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before this lover boy would come up with a plan and completely believe in Lin Yi. Then, he'd go with the flow and fall into Lin Yi's control.

It wasn't as if everything was under Lin Yi's control, but it wasn't far from what he expected.

Don't forget, he still had control over the rules of time.

Although his rule control was only 5%, and he could not see the future as clearly as Banshi Luo, it was still easy for him to make a short prediction, especially when the opponent's strength was far below his.

The lover's son was originally a chess piece he had planned to play. However, after obtaining dugu yixiong's memories, the importance of this chess piece had increased by a lot.

Perhaps, this might really become the key to his future involvement in the sea realm!

However, this was not his first move.

In fact, before the beast God Hall's invasion, someone had already placed a more important and crucial hand on his behalf.

"Zhang Shichang, Shen Qingnian, Han Qi ..."

A familiar name flashed through his mind, and Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. It'd been a long time since he'd seen these old friends.

In the eyes of outsiders, these influential figures had already been eliminated by Emperor Xu Anshan in the internal conflict of the Academy. There was nothing to say about the winner being the king and the loser being the bandits.

Moreover, the beast tide had arrived after that. Everyone's attention had been automatically diverted, and no one was paying attention to it anymore.

It gave people the feeling that this group of fierce people had quietly evaporated from the world, dying without a name.

He didn't know that all of this had been deliberately concealed.

This was also the biggest tacit understanding between Lin Yi and Xu Anshan. Come to think of it, if Zhang Shichang and the others really died under Xu Anshan's hands, there wouldn't be much room for negotiation no matter how big Lin Yi's position was.

Qiu sanniang, on the other hand, could not bear it.

Zhang Shichang and the others "plans were far more far-reaching than Lin Yi 's. If the two could complement each other, it would be a huge surprise for everyone.

Lin Yi looked at the map hai Wutian gave him and headed for the marked location.

If he wanted to gain a foothold in the sea area in the future, the king of the coastal waters was an extremely crucial position, and he still needed to spend some time on this.

Of course, this was mainly because ning Wanjun was still unconscious and could not continue to be his human bait.

Otherwise, it would probably be the seagod's faith.

As for ning Wanjun, Lin Yi didn't have any feelings for her, but throwing her out unconscious as bait was a bit inhuman. He wasn't that unreasonable.

Moreover, the plot against lover boy would still need ning Wanjun. If he went too far, it would be a little troublesome to remedy it later.

With Lin Yi's speed, it was extremely fast if he really started traveling.

He was still at the outer area, far behind the other competitors, but in less than an hour, he had quickly approached the location marked by hai Wutian.

However, even though it was a location, it was actually a huge area. At first glance, it was at least three times the size of Jianghai city.

In terms of land size, the land paled in comparison to the ocean.

To search for a small Ocean Crown in such a large area was like looking for a needle in a haystack, even with Lin Yi's spirit.

At this time, strength and intelligence were all nonsense. Luck was the most important decisive factor.

Along the way, Lin Yi met a few groups of competitors, but they were all very cautious of each other and carefully controlled the distance between them. No one came up to look for trouble.

In fact, this was the normal style of this trial selection.

Unless it was directly related to substantial and major interests, no one would easily make a move. First, it was to avoid unnecessary consumption, and second, it was to avoid being seen through early.

At the level of laws, the mutual augmentation and restraint between laws were far more critical than when one was still in the domain stage. This was especially true for opponents with similar strength. Once their laws were restrained, it would be very difficult for them to turn the tables.

After all, not everyone was like Lin Yi, who had all sorts of rules and regulations in his pockets, not to mention a trump card like new world.

He scanned the area, and just when he was hesitating on where to go next, hai Wutian's voice reached his mind.

"Emergency notice! The sea crown has already been found!"

Lin Yi blinked and shrugged, speechless."Then wouldn't the battle for the Sea King be over? I've just been a bystander for nothing."

These words were said guiltily.

Dugu yixiong alone was enough to make him fat. Not to mention, he had killed so many sea monsters and even gave him a Phantom whale as a bodyguard.

In terms of material gains, this had far exceeded the value of an Ocean Crown!

"It's not over yet," hai Wutian replied."You must hold the sea crown for more than a day before it recognizes you as its master."

Lin Yi's eyelid twitched,"doesn't that make this lucky guy a target for everyone?"

According to this setting, anyone who obtained the sea crown would become the target of everyone else. Was this considered lucky or unlucky?

In the end, just two breaths later.

Hai Wutian's voice came again."Target confirmed. The first winner of the ocean Crown has died. The trial will continue. The marked location has been updated. Keep an eye on it."

"What do you mean?"

Lin Yi glanced at the map and realized that the new mark was miles away from the previous one. It wasn't a further reduction in size, but a completely different place.

"Could it be that the person who snatched the sea crown has teleported away?"

"No," hai Wutian replied."Once the ocean Crown's master recognition ceremony is interrupted, it will automatically be teleported to another location. In other words, killing it doesn't mean that the person who obtains it will get it. It will only restart the game."

"Won't there be no end to this?"Lin Yi asked with a weird expression.

If it was just a simple fight for the treasure, then no matter how fierce the competition was, as long as there was a fight, the winner would be decided. At most, the scene would be a little bloody and tragic.

However, if it was refreshed every time, then the game would really be fun.

Hai Wutian smiled bitterly."That's why luck, strategy, and strength are all indispensable if you want to win in the end. You can't get the title of king of the sea by only relying on your strength."
