Chapter 55

Sun Yuan passed through the light barrier, leaving behind the sticky resistance, as if he had just broken free from a spider web.

The environment before him was identical to the first treasure chest area, a circular open space covered in emerald green grass, with a three-meter-high altar at the center.

On the altar, a golden treasure chest floated.

However, this time, six mushroom men surrounded the altar. Upon spotting Sun Yuan, the intruder, they immediately howled and charged over.

Sun Yuan was not afraid. He gripped his Thunder Slash Blade and rushed toward the nearest one. When he was three meters away, he leaped and delivered a jumping slash.

Swish!

The blade cleaved through the mushroom man's cap-like head, splitting it open and nearly cutting it in half.

Green blood spurted into the air like a fountain.

The second one charged over.

Sun Yuan pulled out his blade and swung it down with all his might.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The mushroom man raised its arms to block, instantly gaining three deep cuts.

After the slash, Sun Yuan crouched and quickly moved to the side of the mushroom man, aiming for its single eye with another strike.

Swish!

The monster's eye was blinded, and it screamed, flailing its arms wildly to try and kill Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuan immediately retreated and started running to the right.

This was to avoid being surrounded.

He drew the Barbarian Boomerang from his waist belt and threw it at the mushroom man in front.

Due to the close distance and the strength of Sun Yuan's throw, the mushroom man couldn't avoid it even when it tried to dodge.

Puff!

The boomerang struck the mushroom man's eye, causing it to instinctively close its eyes.

An opportunity!

Sun Yuan pounced, using all his strength to deliver a powerful slash.

Swish!

The mushroom man's head was split open, and green blood splattered all over Sun Yuan, soaking his T-shirt. He didn't care, bent down to pick up the boomerang, and threw it again, then repositioned himself.

It had to be said, the Thunder Slash Blade was incredibly sharp.

While the Bursting Bat could deal heavy damage to the mushroom men, it usually couldn't kill them in one hit unless Sun Yuan used his full strength. The blade, however, could.

Even if it didn't kill the mushroom man, it could create a massive wound.

Sun Yuan, having already familiarized himself with the movements of the mushroom men from his previous encounters in the maze, combined his tactics with the sharp blade and maintained rapid movement to avoid being surrounded, thus firmly controlling the situation.

With each swing of his blade, the monsters fell.

Ordinary spore men, even in greater numbers, could no longer pose a fatal threat to Sun Yuan.

Three minutes later, Sun Yuan split the head of the last mushroom man, ending the battle.

Pant! Pant! Pant!

Sun Yuan panted heavily, looking at the messy corpses on the ground. A sense of accomplishment grew within him.

I,

am strong!

After completing this God's Tower and receiving the rewards, and with another boost, I will definitely be the top student at Ancient City University.

Sun Yuan scanned the area, saw no dropped equipment, and walked up to the altar, placing his hand on the golden treasure chest.

[Player's vital signs detected, treasure chest opening.]

Sun Yuan silently counted to five, and the chest made a 'click' sound, unlocking. The lid popped open.

Inside, two mushrooms were quietly placed, but they were different from the two Speed Mushrooms he had obtained earlier.

These were thicker, larger, and felt hard to the touch, like king oyster mushrooms, and emitted a strange odor.

Moreover, they emitted a dark red glow, as if soaked in blood.

These mushrooms looked unappealing, but Sun Yuan was overjoyed.

I've struck it rich!

He hadn't expected to find two Power Mushrooms, which could significantly enhance his combat strength.

[Congratulations, you have obtained two Power Mushrooms!]

Name: Power Mushroom.

Type: Natural Combat Drug.

Quality: Rare.

Effect: After consuming this mushroom, the player's strength will surge, allowing them to lift a car with one hand and crush an elephant's skull with a single punch.

Duration: Three minutes.

Note: After the effect ends, the player's body will enter a weakened state, with sore limbs and fatigue, lasting from several minutes to several hours, depending on the player's physical condition.

Reading the description of the Power Mushrooms, Sun Yuan felt elated.

After consuming these mushrooms, Sun Yuan could beat the mushroom men like they were elementary school students, winning with one hand.

Sun Yuan put away the mushrooms and was about to leave the altar to search for the third treasure chest when five people passed through the light barrier and entered.

"There... there are corpses!"

A short-haired boy, seeing the mushroom men's corpses on the ground, looked panicked.

"Damn, there's someone here!"

Wang Bin, the sly one, was the first to spot Sun Yuan and immediately shouted, his eyes then darting to the golden treasure chest, he excitedly yelled, "Damn, there's a treasure chest!"

The five college students, forming a small team, immediately raised their sticks and stared at Sun Yuan.

"Bro Quan, the treasure chest is open; he might have already taken the equipment."

Wang Bin analyzed.

The boy called Bro Quan, with a middle part hairstyle and wearing Nike Yeezy shoes, frowned upon hearing this and shouted.

"Drop everything you have, and take off your clothes!"

Lu Xingquan said this while pulling out a revolver from his pocket and pointing it at Sun Yuan.

This was his confidence.

Sun Yuan's eyebrows furrowed.

Why are there so many lucky ones?

The revolver held by the boy in Yeezy shoes was called a Rattlesnake, a fine-grade equipment, with bullets as powerful as rifle rounds.

Moreover, they had clearly arrived here by luck, not by map.

If it weren't for Sun Yuan, they would have taken the Power Mushrooms.

"Bro Quan told you to take off your clothes and drop your things, didn't you hear?"

Wang Bin shouted angrily, "Hurry up, or I'll shoot you!"

"Bro Quan, did he kill all these monsters?"

The short-haired boy was worried. If so, it meant this classmate with a backpack and a slash blade was very strong.

"What's to be afraid of? Bro Quan has a gun!"

Wang Bin was arrogant.

Lu Xingquan, who had been cautious, staring at Sun Yuan, felt reassured after hearing Wang Bin's words.

That's right,

I have a gun.

History has shown that no matter how skilled one is, they still fear guns.

"Do as I say, or I'll shoot!"

Lu Xingquan urged, then instructed the short-haired boy and Wang Bin, "You two, go check the altar and bring his things over."

Bang!

Sun Yuan took off his backpack and threw it to the ground.

This was to reduce his load for battle.

"Drop the knife too!"

Lu Xingquan sniffed, a look of enjoyment on his face.

This was the sweet taste of power!

Only the strong can control others' lives.

I can make you live, and I can make you die!

The short-haired boy hesitated, but Wang Bin, feeling safe with Lu Xingquan's gun, walked over.

The moment Wang Bin stepped onto the altar, Sun Yuan moved.

He was like a hunting cheetah, leaping down from the altar. Before Wang Bin could react, Sun Yuan grabbed his hair, using him as a shield, and charged toward Lu Xingquan.

"Damn!"

Wang Bin cursed, struggling, but the next instant, he heard a 'puff' and felt intense pain in his stomach.

It's over!

I've been stabbed.

Wang Bin was in such pain that he almost convulsed.

Seeing Sun Yuan suddenly attack and rapidly approach, Lu Xingquan panicked and, disregarding Wang Bin's safety, pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Lu Xingquan fired a shot.

Ah!

Wang Bin screamed as the bullet hit his shoulder, creating a large, bowl-sized wound, blood splattering everywhere.

Sun Yuan was only five meters away from Lu Xingquan. He suddenly let go of Wang Bin, accelerated, and in a blink, was in front of him, slashing with his blade.

Bang!

Lu Xingquan fired another shot.

But the bullet hit the boy in the chest, yet there was no wound.

Ah!

Lu Xingquan screamed, panicking and retreating. His right hand was severed, blood gushing out like a flood, covering the ground.

Thud!

The hand holding the gun fell to the ground.

Lu Xingquan couldn't fire another shot.

Sun Yuan lunged forward, aiming for Lu Xingquan's neck, and slashed again.

Crack!

Lu Xingquan's cervical vertebrae were severed, and his head, eyes wide open, rolled off like a ripe watermelon, landing on the ground.

In his last moments, he realized the other party must have had bulletproof protection.

Damn!

I was too careless.

The opponent is a lucky one.

Sun Yuan swung his blade again, striking the short-haired boy's face, creating a one-centimeter deep wound.

The short-haired boy didn't even have time to scream before collapsing, clearly dying.

The remaining two boys were terrified, not expecting this guy to be so strong. They turned and ran.

Sun Yuan caught up, slashing each one down.

Thick blood flowed out, quickly forming a pool, emitting a pungent smell, making the place look like a slaughterhouse.

Sun Yuan pursed his lips, finishing off these enemies to ensure they were dead, and began searching their backpacks and pockets.

"Spare... spare me!"

Wang Bin was so scared he wet himself.

Especially after seeing Sun Yuan finish off his companions one by one, he was trembling uncontrollably.

"You were pretty arrogant just now, weren't you?"

Sun Yuan teased, walking over to the 'Bro Quan' and taking the revolver from his severed hand.

Name: Rattlesnake Revolver, five rounds!

Type: Ranged Attack Weapon.

Quality: Fine.

Effect: This revolver's bullets have the power of rifle rounds.

Note: High recoil, be careful not to injure your wrist.

Sun Yuan opened the cylinder, spun it, and found only one bullet left. He then squatted down and searched Lu Xingquan's body.

He found a box of twelve bullets in Lu Xingquan's right pocket.

These extremely lucky ones were really annoying.

Sun Yuan shook his head. If this 'Bro Quan' hadn't tried to rob him, he had a ninety percent chance of clearing this God's Tower with that revolver.

With the rewards, he would be even stronger.

So, one must not be overconfident and should always be cautious.

"I... I..."

Wang Bin tried to apologize, but he was losing too much blood and could barely speak.

"I've decided to spare you!"

Sun Yuan smiled.

Wang Bin's face lit up.

Sun Yuan picked up his backpack, dusted it off, and put it back on. When he reached Wang Bin, he stopped and pointed the revolver at him.

"What are you doing? You said you'd spare me!"

Wang Bin was dumbfounded.

"But you were too arrogant, so I've decided to shoot you!"

Sun Yuan pulled the trigger.

Click!

No bullet was fired.

Wang Bin was so scared he lost control of his bladder, soiling his pants.

"Wow, you have good luck, let's try again!"

Sun Yuan pointed the revolver at Wang Bin again.

"..."

Wang Bin's nerves were on edge. This was like playing Russian roulette, terrifying, and he would rather die quickly.

"Tsk, tsk, you're not worth wasting a bullet on. Remember, in your next life, don't be so arrogant."

Sun Yuan said, twirling his blade, and then slashed at Wang Bin's neck.
