"I lost."

After exchanging several moves, Xu Ruyan decisively surrendered.

Overall, she still held a significant advantage, but she chose to give up anyway.

She possessed a killer's trait: she only cared about life and death, not victory or defeat. The moment she failed to take down Wang Yazhi within the first ten seconds, she no longer wanted to fight. The subsequent moves were merely a courtesy, accompanying her in practice.

"The Sequence is just too strong. If you truly intended to kill me, my chances of survival would be very slim," Wang Yazhi said seriously.

"Following Lang Ge, you'll get a Sequence sooner or later too," Xu Ruyan chuckled lightly, casually opening her Sequence information panel.

She was extremely compatible with the Killer Sequence and her development speed was fast, so she often opened the Sequence information to see if any new descriptions had been updated.

One's own perception could sometimes be inaccurate;the panel descriptions were more authoritative.

[Killer Sequence]

[Sequence Level: D-107 (Unawakened)]

[Sequence Ability 1 (Soundless): Can muffle sounds emanating from oneself]

[Sequence Ability 2 (Hidden Killing Intent): Conceals aura, immune to most perception and precognition abilities]

[Sequence Ability 3 (Backstab): Attacking an enemy from behind increases hit rate and lethality by 50%]

[Sequence Ability 4 (Weakness Insight): Easier to perceive an enemy's flaws]

[Dorm Building Comment: You have something on your neck, let me help you cut it off]

Don't be fooled by the Killer Sequence's seemingly ordinary appearance and its almost complete lack of supernatural abilities;Xu Ruyan adored it immensely.

To put it this way: she could now walk up behind a person and slit their throat.

As long as that person never turned around to see her throughout the entire process, they would feel nothing until the moment the blade cut!

Among all the Sequence abilities, Xu Ruyan had focused her development efforts the most on the first two abilities, and their descriptions had been subtly adjusted several times.

"Ah, no changes..." Xu Ruyan sighed and was about to close the information panel when her expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?" Wang Yazhi asked.

Did her Sequence rank up?

"My Sequence Level improved by one rank!" Xu Ruyan frowned.

"That can't be right. Didn't they say that only after a Sequence reaches the Awakening stage is there a chance to change its ranking?" Wang Yazhi also frowned.

"Do you think there's a possibility..." Xu Ruyan thought of something and took a light breath.

The next second, both women spoke in unison.

"A Sequence has been promoted from D-tier!"

...

Changes in Sequences possess a synchronicity that defies conventional logic, manifesting in the minds of all Sequence Holders at the same level, as well as on sufficiently clear supernatural items.

"D-39 and C-27 have disappeared."

A magnificent and majestic palace stood within the Blood Mist World, resembling a crouching golden behemoth. A humanoid figure clad in golden armor, its face also concealed by the armor, sat upon a throne, holding a volume of the Sequence Encyclopedia.

Each of his breaths caused the surrounding space to distort, giving birth to wisps of sinful aura, while simultaneously, feathers of light occasionally scattered around him, as if purifying and cleansing this space-time.

Muttering echoed through the palace.

It was empty, as if no one else had visited for a thousand years. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The golden-armored humanoid figure merely whispered softly, as if devoid of any emotion, merely stating a fact.

An unknown amount of time passed before he spoke again.

"Edgewalker has also been chosen by someone..."

...

A black city spread out in a circular pattern across the blood-red earth, its end lost to sight.

Within this city, the spire of an ancient castle pointed towards the crimson moon. Two shirtless men knelt and prostrated around the castle, appearing about one-fifth shorter than the castle itself. This created a peculiar visual distortion—the castle seemed like just a large toy.

"Wahahaha, two Sequences disappearing together? Was it that 'Fusionist' who made a move? To actually develop a B-tier Sequence to this level, truly impressive!"

At that moment, a sickly-sweet, almost yandere-like laugh erupted from a man's shoulder.

There, sitting prominently, was a young woman with wide, flowing sleeves.

Her canine teeth were sharp, and her laughing expression was highly infectious, seeming like an innocent girl who couldn't hide her emotions.

"Master, what shall we do?" The man stood up, his line of sight actually able to overlook the vast majority of buildings!

This was no ordinary man, but a giant!

That castle was no toy either, but a super-giant structure hundreds of meters tall at the very least!

"Idiot, who told you to stand up? Get back down!" The young woman swayed unsteadily, almost losing her seat, and angrily scolded.

"Oh." The giant shrank his neck and hurriedly complied.

"This matter, I must write it down in my notes." The young woman took out a small notebook, giggling strangely. "When I meet that Fusionist later, I'll definitely make him fuse two Sequences for me to play with... Fusing Sequences has always been that 'Fusionist's' long-cherished wish, right? To actually achieve it, impressive, impressive!"

...

Within the blood mist, a factory billowed thick smoke. The employee dormitory building was painted with the characters "Twilight".

The strong contender for the position of Twilight Building Dorm Owner and possessor of a B-tier Sequence, "White Crow", slammed the table and cursed angrily: "Damn it! First, my Animal Tamer inheritance item becomes ineffective, now my Sequence gets pushed back one rank. Why is nothing but bad luck happening lately?"

"Boss, it's okay. That big monster inside the Safe Zone is about to be worn down. We'll soon be able to occupy that production workshop, and maybe even a Sequence Object will drop," a man who looked as gaunt as a skeleton forced a dry laugh.

White Crow raged, "Are you saying it doesn't matter that my Sequence fell back one rank, that someone surpassed me?!"

"No, no!!!" The man was utterly terrified, seeming to realize something. He turned to run, but it was already too late.

A woman with skin as smooth as a mirror abruptly blocked his path.

Judging by her facial features alone, she was an extremely beautiful woman. But the mistake was that her features were in the wrong places: her nose was on her chin, her mouth on her forehead, and her eyes on the sides of her cheeks.

Moreover, she was literally as smooth as a mirror!

The man collided with her and directly rushed into her mirror-like body. Everyone could see the man running inside the mirror world!

The mirror woman's eyes shed tears of blood, as if mourning for the man within the mirror.

"Stop crying, I'll return your child to you when the time comes!" White Crow stared at the mirror woman and waved his hand impatiently.

The mirror woman vanished, as if directly extracted from three-dimensional space, silent and traceless.

The people around breathed a sigh of relief but still couldn't help trembling.

"Damn! Why did I let the Mirror Ghost swallow him? I should have thrown him into the Flesh Factory instead!" White Crow slapped his forehead as if realizing a major blunder, annoyed. "I was so angry I lost my head. If I ever meet that newly promoted Sequence Holder, I'll definitely skin him to make leather shoes!"

No one around dared to speak. Their expressions were numb, seemingly already accustomed to this baleful star's unpredictable moods.

...

Dorm 200.

The essential oil back massage was too comfortable;Xu Lang directly fell asleep.

Within the dream, a wave of blood mist invaded. Xu Lang realized he was dreaming.

He looked around and found himself on a blood-red plain.

A wolf-dog saw Xu Lang, let out an "awoo", and pounced at him.

At the same time, a line of information appeared before Xu Lang's eyes.

"Hiss~ To actually fuse out a B-tier Sequence, the Nightmare Sequence! I love you so much!"

"I truly am a fusion genius!"

"Supreme Fusion, you did not deceive me!"
