Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

This somewhat arrogant declaration made Ye Qiyan feel inexplicably puzzled.

Who is this person?

It was as if they were enemies.

Caribbean?

Pirate?

"Boss, this is really unfair. How could they arrange an opponent of this caliber for you in the second match! I'm going to file a complaint right now! This is ridiculous!"

This was Emilie saying that for the second time today.

"Is this person famous?"

Ye Qiyan took out a White Forest Fruit, bit into it, and listened with interest to Emilie's account.

"And he collects protection fees?"

"Yes... how did you know?"

"What other purpose could founding an association in a place like this serve besides collecting protection money?"

Ye Qiyan shifted the Light Screen and shared the information on it directly with Emilie.

"What I'm curious about, though, is the 'Divine Envoy' within that Beast-Taming Divine Envoy. What does that mean? Can you explain?"

Emilie was a little puzzled why her boss would be curious about this, and when he mentioned the words "Divine Envoy" she seemed to show a strange light in her eyes.

But she didn't overthink it and spoke up:

"Literally, although my memories are still somewhat confused, according to the intelligence shared by the Guides, the President of the Trial Participants Association, Caribbean, came to the Lunar Heart Arena as a Train Conductor several hundred years ago.

His most recent ability update was one hundred and seventy-five years ago, when he once again challenged the twelve trials and achieved seven consecutive victories, only to lose to a Train Conductor who has since left the Lunar Heart Arena.

Intelligence shows Caribbean worships a god called 'Yao'.

His ability is to control a large number of monsters and merge their powers into his own body parts, like the tails of nine-tailed fox demons or the arms of black-light apes..."

"Isn't a Divine Envoy the same as an Apostle?"

"I... don't know. But there are indeed some godly apostles present within the Lunar Heart-level arenas."

Divine Envoy, not Apostle.

Ye Qiyan did not yet know the difference between the two.

But if both exist, there had to be distinct differences.

"Boss, you just wait here. I'll go to Lady Eris and appeal right now!"

Seeing Ye Qiyan ask no further questions, Emilie turned and prepared to leave the room.

"Why appeal?"

Ye Qiyan raised an eyebrow, watching Emilie’s anxious expression with mild amusement.

"Because... of course..."

"I came here to clear the trials. Since Lady Eris arranged this opponent for me, I’ll accept it wholesale and beat them all. Why refuse?

Besides..."

He paused.

"The stronger the opponent, the better the rewards after passing the final twelve trials, right?"

"..."

It was confidence, and a touch of arrogance.

Ye Qiyan did not think he would lose.

Even if he did lose, he could always use the Anchor to grab the Train and run.

But winning was best.

Losing put people in a bad mood, so it was better to do his best to win.

"You are right, but..."

"Emilie."

Ye Qiyan's smile faded as he sat up on the bed, swallowing the last bite of the White Forest Fruit. His gaze fell on the room's doorway.

"You only need to do one thing."

"What?"

"Trust me."

Knock knock knock!

The door was hammered open roughly.

Lisette, busy tidying, shed her usual gentleness.

The spikes on her back split into the time-armament's hour, minute, and second forms.

The minute-hand Skull-Piercing Thorn pressed against the doorframe. The moment she opened the door, before the two over-two-meter-tall pig-headed men in black suits and sunglasses could speak, they were startled by those two thorns.

"You!"

"Got business?"

Ye Qiyan watched the two pig-headed men calmly.

They dropped the arrogance they had posed before opening the door, looked at each other, and said:

"Ahem, Mr. Ye Qiyan, we are from the Trial Participants Association. We're here to collect some protection fees from you. It's not much, only three hundred Train Coins. If you don't have it, we also offer loan services.

The interest isn't high, only fifteen percent. You can pay it back before you leave the Lunar Heart Arena."

"Oh, what if I don't pay?"

"Don't pay?"

The two pig-headed men glanced at each other again and recalled the orders they'd received before coming here.

Each of them pulled from their storage pockets a special bomb designed specifically to target Humans.

"Then if an accident—"

Sput!

Before the sentence finished, Lisette's Skull-Piercing Thorns had already pierced both their skulls.

At the same time, those two devices flew toward Ye Qiyan.

"Boss! Watch out!"

Emilie lunged forward, trying to intercept the bombs for him, but all she received was Ye Qiyan's slightly incredulous look and a casual grab that tossed her onto the floor behind him.

Boom!!!

A violent explosion erupted.

This entire floor was blown away.

Only Ye Qiyan's room remained untouched.

"Although I appreciate your good intentions, Emilie, next time, take care of yourself first."

Amid the dust, a gold-red Holy Pattern sealed everything outside.

Emilie rubbed her tailbone and stared vacantly at the figure emerging from the smoke.

Ye Qiyan—her hope.

The smile was gone from his face, replaced by an expression that could not be called either anger or indifference.

"By the way, a question."

"A question?"

"Can my second trial be advanced? I'm eager to properly learn from that senior Caribbean... or, what would happen if I just killed him before the trial starts?"

Emilie swallowed reflexively.

Before she could fully react, the answer she knew escaped her lips:

"If you apply to the System, you can have the trial start early. If the Boss kills Mr. Caribbean directly... the System will reselect a trial opponent for you, but that will lower your score...

And if it becomes too big a disturbance, the arena will punish you, breaking your consecutive wins and imposing penalties..."

Ye Qiyan smiled again.

"Then apply for it on my behalf. The sooner the better. By the way, where is that Trial Participants Association located again?"

That day.

Red rain fell over Yun-Yue City for the first time in years.

That day.

A Great Dragon's shadow appeared faintly in the rain clouds.

That day.

A black hole tore a Trial Participants Association building completely off the map of Yun-Yue City.

Who did it?

No one knew.

Because after that day, they could not recall the dragon of yesterday, nor the downpour of yesterday.

Even if they tried to think hard, some terrifying light erased the memory of that moment completely.

They did not deserve to remember.

All that remained.

Only that ruin...
