Chapter 633: The Artifact of Evil Interest
Sighing, Luo Jun exited the call page and opened the forum again. He wanted to know what major events had happened in the main world during the more than one month he was away.

First of all, the international exchange competition came to a successful conclusion yesterday. After many days of competition, Zhendan won the first place in the team, but the champion of the individual competition was a guy Luo Jun had never heard of.

"Tym? A player from the Land of Exile?" Luo Jun was a little surprised: "Not even one of the Big Three? I thought the winner would be Ling Xin or Xue Lan..."

Among the masters Luo Jun had met, Ling Xin and Xue Lan were the best fighters under the peak. They were only one step away from reaching the peak, and they stood out among the students. They both failed. Who was this person called Taim?
Coincidentally, there was a video replay of the final on the forum homepage. Luo Jun clicked it and saw that the boy named Taim had dark skin, a strong body, bright eyes and white teeth, and had a bit of a mixed Eastern and Western blood look. His opponent happened to be Xue Lan.

"Is Xue Lan the runner-up?" Luo Jun watched the game with anticipation. Based on the close-up of her face given by the camera, he found that Xue Lan was unexpectedly nervous. As the referee announced the start of the game, she immediately used her ultimate move, freezing the entire arena with a powerful ice storm!
Indiscriminate AOE from the start. Xue Lan is really ruthless. To make her take him so seriously, it seems that the opponent is a tough guy...

Luo Jun was amazed, but found that the game was over...

As the storm ended, Xue Lan fell on the field, with the dark-skinned boy standing behind her.

"It's over?!" Luo Jun frowned and picked up his phone, replaying the video a short while ago. Because Xue Lan's ice storm blocked the picture, he couldn't see any details at all... But it was a bit too exaggerated to kill him instantly, right?
It seems that this kid has something, could he be at the top?
After exiting the video with doubts, Luo Jun clicked on other news. What he was more concerned about now was the candidates for the Tianyuan Conference.

According to previous news, the International Exchange Conference will produce six recommended places for the Tianyuan Conference. The names of these six people have been announced at the closing ceremony. They are:
Taim, Xue Lan, Ling Xin, Ottos, Elena, Gregory.

"Ottos was also selected?" Luo Jun remembered the young man he met in the [Utopia] mission. His unique skill of slashing and expanding with one hand was indeed domineering. He wondered if he had any other abilities.

As for Elena... this name reminded Luo Jun of the sexy underwear he just sold. Is it a coincidence?

But in addition to the name, the public information also included photos and basic information. Luo Jun took a look and found that she looked familiar. When he saw the information about the Hell Creek Family, he suddenly remembered that this was the woman who came to Ningdong with Elder Mapu before? At that time, she was killed by Luo Junqiang at the door of Zheng Yuanqiang's black market... It seems that when the treasure box disappeared, it was resurrected. It is very likely that it was the blood pool of the Hell Creek Family. This woman has a high status in the family... Luo Jun frowned and looked at the last person.

Gregory... I haven't heard of him.

According to the introduction, he is a representative of the Federal Five Continents College. He is already in his twenties, but he is a freshman this year. There is no previous record of him. His ability seems to be a combination of the Shapeshifting School and the Creation School. He is very powerful and made it all the way to the semi-finals, but was defeated by Taim.

"The candidates for the academy have already been decided..." Luo Jun touched his chin with some regret: "I am not eligible to compete for the other recommended places, so I can only compete with the independent cultivators for the 32 places..."

Soon, Luo Jun also found posts related to the Tianyuan Conference in the forum. Currently, the auditions for independent cultivators are still in progress. The final registration for each major competition area will be closed the day after tomorrow. Then all those who pass the auditions will go to an island in the East Ocean for the preliminary round next week. In the end, 32 people will be selected to enter the Tianyuan Conference.

Of course, the auditions are not without barriers. If applicants want to qualify for the preliminary round, they must face the siege of four high-level puppets at the same time and be able to resolve the battle within three minutes to pass.

A high-level puppet is difficult to deal with even for an ordinary Peiyuan realm cultivator. Anyone who can resolve the siege of four puppets within three minutes is considered a good warrior in the Ningxin realm.

The rules of the competition are the same as those of the Tianyuan Tournament. There is no time limit for the competition. Admitting defeat, losing the ability to fight, dying, and falling off the field are all considered failures. Players can bring up to three treasures, but they must be obtained from the chaos mission. Those given by others or traded are not allowed. Once a violation is found, the qualification for the competition will be immediately disqualified.

Regarding this rule, Luo Jun was once curious about how the organizer determined the source of the treasure. He asked his master at that time. Master Yuan explained that it relied on the detection of a rule-based mythical treasure. Anything that did not meet the definition of the rules would trigger an alarm.

In this case, Luo Jun would have to think twice about letting his subordinates compete on his behalf.

After all, if Ailontan wants to disguise himself as him, he must wear a fake human mask to participate in the competition. However, the fake human mask was made by Luo Jun during the mission. It is hard to say whether Ailontan, as Luo Jun's summoned creature, can be taken to participate in the competition. It seems like he is taking advantage of a loophole in the rules.

If it really doesn't work, we can only change another method and let Aishilia use her shapeshifting ability to change into his appearance to participate in the competition. But the difficulty is that the shapeshifting ability cannot last long, especially when it only changes appearance. Because there is no change in species, the difference from the original appearance is not big, and it is easy to change back to the original appearance due to inertia, which is extremely difficult to maintain. Even if Aishilia is in her current state, it is okay to temporarily change into Luo Jun, but it is almost impossible to maintain it for 24 hours. It is not as convenient as a fake person mask.

Ningdong has a gate, so naturally there is also a sub-area for auditions, which is in Ningyuan Mountain, where the college recruits students. However, the deadline is the day after tomorrow, so Luo Jun is not in a hurry.

He first opened the treasure box, took out the lock pick, and then took out Pluto's treasure box.

After shopping at the grocery store, Luo Jun now has more than thirty lock picks. Looking at Pluto's treasure box, it should not be possible to open it empty-handed, but it should not be a problem to get all the legendary or even epic treasures.

As a master of metamorphosis and an apostle of the [Supernatural], he definitely has no shortage of ways to obtain treasures. After years of screening and elimination, the ones that remain must be the best. Even if they are epic or even rare, they probably have their own unique features.

Thinking of this, Luo Jun rubbed his hands, asked a few of his men to keep watch outside, and started the unpacking work in the bedroom!
Luo Jun took the lock pick, aimed it at Pluto's treasure box, and summoned the dice.

"Draw out the mythical treasure!"

That's right, this time he didn't start from the legendary level. Although he hadn't used it in battle, as a powerful feathered warrior, Hades was likely to possess a mythical treasure!
Sure enough, the dice started rolling, and Luo Jun waited for the result excitedly!

A pair of dice has 73 points, a pair of dice has 94 points!
"Ding, the event difficulty is 100 points, the final point is 94+15 points, the event is successful!"

A difficulty level of 100 points means there are at least 51 treasures in it. The masters at the Yuhua level are indeed extraordinary.

Luo Jun activated the lock opener, and soon, a golden metal ring came out from the treasure box.

What is this stuff?
Luo Jun curiously scanned it with his Qi and obtained specific information.

Name: Golden Hoop

Level: Myth

Introduction: A certain existence that cannot be looked at directly, specially refined this treasure in order to teach his subordinates a lesson and control the captives. It guides the divine power through spells and has an unparalleled control effect. All those who have worn this treasure, regardless of race and cultivation, cannot resist and submit to him.

Function 1: The treasure can't be lost, is indestructible, and can change its form to a certain extent to adapt to different situations.

Function 2: Owner recognition: This treasure has the characteristic of owner recognition, and only the owner can use its functions normally.

Function three: Golden Hoop Spell: Put the golden hoop on the target's head and recite the spell to tighten the golden hoop and bind it to the target. The golden hoop cannot be removed, and the target bound to the golden hoop cannot use any abilities or treasures. Activating the Golden Hoop Spell consumes one thousand breaths of energy and has no cooldown time, but it can only be used when the target is willing or unable to resist.

Function Four: Zeroing: After activation, the target wearing the golden hoop can be forced to enter the zeroing state, depriving the target of all acquired abilities through training. There is no consumption and no cooldown time when activating the zeroing state.

Function 5: Punishment: The owner of the golden hoop can activate the punishment function at any time, making the target wearing the golden hoop suffer unspecified types of pain. The intensity of the punishment is divided into nine levels and can be adjusted at will. The recipient will not die or lose consciousness due to the pain of the punishment. Activating the punishment consumes 100 breaths of vitality, and there is no cooldown time.

Tip: The owner of the golden hoop can take it off at any time. If the owner dies, the golden hoop will be ownerless and the reset state will be automatically released.

Note: Don’t say I didn’t warn you, don’t raise your rank above level 3. …………

"This is quite interesting..." Luo Jun played with the golden hoop in his hand. He didn't expect it to be a treasure for capturing prisoners. Moreover, it can only be worn when the target cannot resist. No wonder the Pluto didn't take it out to use in the battle.

Although its usage is very restricted, the effect is indeed powerful. Not to mention the punishment, the zeroing can deprive all acquired abilities. Isn't it the same as the Excellence Trial Field in the underground ruins of [Wild]? However, this one can only affect one person, unlike the Excellence Trial Field, which can affect an entire area... But on the other hand, the Excellence Trial Field can maintain those restrictive functions, which must consume a lot of energy. This one has no consumption at all, and it has a bit of the flavor of black technology.

It is indeed a magical weapon for capturing prisoners, but for Luo Jun, its practicality is a bit too low... There is no need to use this thing to restrict those who can be defeated, and it cannot trap those who cannot be defeated. You can't secretly use it to trap the opponent while he is sleeping.

But Luo Jun could also understand the function of this thing. Once it was put on a person, that person would be at your mercy. It was a bit similar to the effect of the Eye of Domination.

But the difference is that the loyalty effect of the Eye of Domination is essentially consensual. If the other party would rather die than surrender, you cannot force him to be loyal. Moreover, the Lord has no punishment measures for servants. Apart from not being able to attack the Lord, there are no other restrictions on loyalists. In theory, loyalists can even ignore the Lord and do whatever they want.

But this one is different, as long as you put it on, you will completely lose your freedom and be in fear of being punished at all times, you can't take it off, and eventually your will will be completely worn down and you will become a walking corpse.

Moreover, the Eye of Domination was once an epic treasure. Even if it was upgraded to a legendary one, the foundation was there. He had used it for so long that he could vaguely feel that the restrictive power in it was not that strong. The loyalists should always have a way to forcibly terminate the master-servant relationship. At least Luo Jun doubted whether this thing could withstand the resistance of a feathered one.

But this golden hoop is a mythical treasure, and the introduction says that anyone who has worn it cannot resist, and its owner is an existence that cannot be looked at directly. Can it be said that this golden hoop can even lock up gods?

But there’s no point in thinking so much, so just continue opening the blind boxes.

Luo Jun picked up the lock pick and judged the mythical artifact again, but this time, he was told that it was an inevitable event.

Is this the only legend about Hades? And his apostles? How come he is even poorer than me?

Luo Jun pouted and fiddled with the golden hoop. As his only mythical treasure, this thing made him somewhat disappointed.

Is it really true that we can only capture prisoners and torture people? Does the creator of this thing have such a bad taste?

Thinking of this, Luo Jun called Gabriel in.

"Master, what's the matter?"

The angel was extremely tall, with his head almost touching the ceiling. Even without spreading his wings, he still looked a bit crowded standing in the bedroom.

Luo Jun handed him the golden hoop and said, "Put this thing on."

"What is this?" Gabriel had no doubt about its owner and put it on his head. The gold hoop seemed to have an adaptive function. Once it approached Gabriel's big head, it automatically changed to the appropriate size and stuck on.

At this time, Luo Jun began to recite the spell. He learned the spell automatically after becoming the master of the golden hoop, but it was very complicated and took a while to recite. The cumbersome operation made Luo Jun's evaluation of this thing lower.

As the spell was finished, the golden hoop suddenly tightened, scaring Gabriel.

"What's going on?" The angel subconsciously wanted to take it off, but found that it seemed to have grown on his head and could not be taken off at all.

"Master, what is this?" Gabriel felt something was wrong.

Looking at the holy light-like aura still covering Gabriel's body, Luo Jun nodded. It seemed that the effect of this ability restriction was limited to the special abilities cultivated above the Condensed Mind Realm, and did not involve the foundation of aura. But what happened next was not that simple.

"You'll know soon." Luo Jun smiled and activated the zeroing state.

As the state was activated, the aura that covered Gabriel's body at any time was extinguished instantly. His legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. He held on to the edge of the bed and didn't fall down. "Why do I feel that the holy light in my body can't flow? And my body feels much heavier."

As expected, all acquired powers were taken away.

Luo Jun nodded and said apologetically: "Next, you may have to suffer a little. Cooperate with me in an experiment!"

"I will naturally do my best to comply with my master's request!" Gabriel said confidently. Although he used to be the most rebellious one, once he recognized Luo Jun, he was also the most loyal.

"Okay." Luo Jun nodded, and with a thought, a long list of punishments immediately appeared on the golden hoop. He randomly selected one, fire, set it to level one, and activated it.

“Ahhhhh!” Almost instantly, the golden hoop turned blazing red, and Gabriel immediately screamed in pain. Seeing that the angel couldn’t bear it, Luo Jun stopped immediately: “What did you feel just now…”

Gabriel knelt on the ground, sweating and panting. "It felt like every inch of my skin was being burned alive, but I couldn't be burned to death. That moment seemed as long as an hour..."

So strong at level one? Luo Jun touched his chin. Was it because of the reset?

This punishment does not seem to cause physical harm, it should be a mental attack, so if your mental strength is strong, you should be able to resist it better.

Thinking of this, Luo Jun lifted the zero state and allowed Gabriel to bear the punishment in full state.

The nine levels of punishment increased in intensity exponentially. Even an archangel in full condition could not bear it at the third level. His reaction was extremely strong and he almost had a mental breakdown. He only avoided fainting because he could not lose consciousness...

Is level 3 so strong? The note says not to exceed level 3, it seems like they are not kidding...

Luo Jun looked through the various punishment effects, such as piercing the heart, extreme cold, digging out eyes, enema... Any torture you can think of can be simulated here, and just looking at the name is chilling.

"Huh? What is this?"

Luo Jun suddenly noticed a unique punishment item.
