"You have received a new side quest [Rescue], do you wish to accept?"
[Accept][Reject]
...
Inside the Beast Fighting Arena of the Imperial Capital of Jialan City, Ling Yuwei looked at Lin Yi beside her with a puzzled expression, sowhat worried:
"Are you okay?"
Ever since Lin Yi stepped into the arena, his words and actions had been full of oddities.
Although Ling Yuwei didn't know why.
But her sharp intuition told her that sothing was definitely on Lin Yi's mind.
And very likely it was related to the arena, or to Jarvis within the duel area.
In fact.
Ling Yuwei wasn't particularly fond of this violent and bloody form of entertainnt either.
She had only co once before due to curiosity.
This ti she returned because she considered Lin Yi was a man.
Subconsciously thinking n might enjoy this, she agreed to co.
But to her surprise, the reality was not as she imagined.
At least so far, Lin Yi hadn't shown any sign of liking it.
All she saw from his deanor was heaviness.
Lin Yi, anwhile, seed to ignore Ling Yuwei's bewildernt or was too busy to care.
Because the system interface in front of him was displaying:
[Side Quest] Rescue!

Lin Yi gazed solemnly at the task panel in front of him, lost in contemplation.
Bear in mind the highest difficulty for tasks was only 5★.
Lin Yi hadn't anticipated that a side quest's difficulty could reach the maximum of 5★.
Looking at the task requirents stated above, the first should be no trouble to complete.
However, the second task requirent seed likely to be more ti-consuming.
Simultaneously, this information led to a conclusion:
The affair between Viscount Anand and Jarvis was indeed not as simple as imagined.
However, the investigation could be quite complex, likely difficult to complete before the Divine Son selection.
The third requirent genuinely surprised Lin Yi.
Intervene and improve the rules of the Beast Fighting Arena!
With this task surfacing, Lin Yi's mind was instantly shrouded in confusion...
How should one intervene in the arena's rules, and how can they be changed?
No hint was provided for the process of accomplishing the task or for its outco.
What constitutes completion?
This was the point that entangled Lin Yi.
But despite the entanglent.
When Lin Yi saw the reward for completing 3 tasks, he fell silent.
The generous reward compelled Lin Yi, who preferred not to ddle in affairs, to take risks.
Honestly.
He could choose to ignore the mythical equipnt.
But the reward of Level 1 was extrely tempting to Lin Yi.
Since arriving at the Nine Nether Continent, there's essentially been no ti for leveling.
Now the reward from this task could make up for that.
Bear in mind that leveling up by 1 requires a substantial amount of ti, even if soaking in the battlefield constantly fighting against the Demon Race.
And now, it could be achieved just by completing the task, why not?
Additionally, halving equipnt repair costs for practical benefit.
The final hidden reward filled Lin Yi with curiosity.
This was the first ti in his gaming history he'd encountered a 'hidden reward'.
What could this hidden reward be?
Just then, a violent roar erupted from the field, the entire duel area resonating with the chants of nearly ten thousand spectators:
"Kill him!"
"Kill it!"
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!"
...
Coming to his senses, Lin Yi focused forward.
Seeing Jarvis in the duel area entwined with the grotesque Bone-Eroding Beast:
"Sword Qi Slash!"
Jarvis swung the Great Sword, and a crescent-shaped energy wave soared toward the Bone-Eroding Beast:
"Boom~"
However, Jarvis's attack only made the Bone-Eroding Beast stagger, causing no substantial damage.
This scene elicited a wave of astonishnt throughout the arena:
"How is this possible!"
"Isn't Jarvis in the late stage of Tier Five?"
"How could he not break through the Bone-Eroding Beast's defense?"
"Damn it."
"We overestimated Jarvis's strength."
Amidst the dense voices of exclamation and cursing.
Many who had bet heavily on Jarvis were filled with anger.
Soone rushed to the railing, cursing Jarvis inside:
"Damn it."
"Use all your strength, slay that beast in front of you."
"Stop holding back, if you don't kill it soon, you'll die."
"Kill it, hurry!"
The atmosphere on site beca exceptionally intense at this mont.
Feeling the crowd's madness, Charles suddenly whispered to Lin Yi with pride:
"It seems your million is going to go down the drain."
He didn't forget to add mockingly:
"Oh, right!"
"After all, it's not your money, so you don't feel the pinch, right?"
In fact, Charles intended Ling Yuwei to hear this.
Yet, Ling Yuwei seed unconcerned, as if she hadn't heard Charles's words at all.
This left Charles filled with frustration, deepening his resentnt towards Lin Yi.
What Lin Yi didn't know at this mont.
Until this point, Charles seed to have made a certain decision in his heart.
In the instant he lowered his head, a flicker of gloom and greed for Ling Yuwei passed through his eyes.
Confronted with Charles's mockery, Lin Yi, indeed, appeared as if he didn't care at all.
Because all of Lin Yi's attention was focused on Jarvis in the duel arena.
Since he had already taken on this task.
In Lin Yi's eyes, the outco of this duel had already lost its significance.
Because, in the end, no matter what, the winner would be Jarvis.
However, Jarvis's strength was sowhat beyond Lin Yi's expectations.
Facing the Bone-Eroding Beast, which was a level higher than him, not only was he not defeated at first, but he also remained capable.
Clearly, Lin Yi had underestimated this man.
The most excited at this mont had to be Viscount Anand, who had caused Jarvis to beco what he is now.
Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere, Anand joined the surrounding crowd with flushed cheeks, roaring:
"Kill him!"
"Kill that damned commoner."
...
Perhaps, among all the people present, he was the only one who couldn't accept the Bone-Eroding Beast being defeated by Jarvis.
However, just then, the arena was suddenly filled with gasps.
The deafening cheers and shouts abruptly ceased.
The Bone-Eroding Beast stood in place, incessantly roaring.
Its sound was so loud that many ordinary people had to cover their ears to defend against the sharp sonic attack.
And Jarvis in front of the Bone-Eroding Beast, most directly confronted it.
Though struggling with an unpleasant expression, he had to carefully guard against a sudden assault from the Bone-Eroding Beast.
All those who bet on the Bone-Eroding Beast to win, upon seeing this, looked delighted:
"That's it, hurry and kill him."
"Kill him, go!"
"Damn beast, what are you waiting for, tear him apart."
At this mont.
Soone fearfully watched the motionless Bone-Eroding Beast in the arena:
"Sothing's wrong!"
"It seems like it's..."
Under everyone's horrified gaze.
The originally all-black Bone-Eroding Beast's skin and flesh suddenly shed like a crab molting.
A completely blood-red Bone-Eroding Beast appeared in everyone's view.
People exclaid in shock:
"It's advancing!"
"Tier Six Bone-Eroding Beast!"
This sudden change left everyone present stunned, flabbergasted.
Suddenly, Ling Yuwei exclaid in surprise:
"Sir Lin Yi, where are you going?"
