The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

Two daggers!

Two killers!

Just as everyone was shocked, the two daggers simultaneously stabbed towards Lin Yuan's back. The tips of the daggers emitted a strong, pale golden cold light. Anyone who knew their stuff could tell at a glance that they were gold artifacts!

However, a dramatic scene unfolded: with a clang, the two daggers collided.

The two assassins looked at each other simultaneously, their eyes flashing with fear.

—Was that the target's bodyguard?

It was just too coincidental!

Why did another person appear the instant I made my move? And why did they perfectly block my attack?

After this exchange, both assassins felt a numbness in their hands and a jolt in their arms, which almost made them realize the other's strength: at least their physical attributes were no weaker than their own.

The key question is, what style do these assassins use?

He struck successfully and then gracefully departed!

What if the first strike misses?

Then one must gracefully depart.

Assassins are a class with high attack but low defense; they're not shield warriors who can tank damage.

So, both of them hesitated for a moment: should they continue to attack, or retreat quickly?

If I continue to attack, the target's "bodyguards" will definitely stop me. If they block me even slightly, a large group of people will surround me. Will I still be able to escape?

Regardless of whether the attack hits or not, you must retreat immediately; that's the principle!

wrong!

Why did the other party stop attacking me?

The two assassins glanced at each other again, then suddenly realized what was happening.

Let's go together!

This guy's a competitor!

Yes, that outfit screams assassin.

However, they were "in sync" and actually chose to attack at the same time, resulting in a "collision" where they blocked each other's attacks.

This is insane!

The two exchanged a glance and actually understood the meaning in each other's eyes. So, the next moment, they both launched another attack on Lin Yuan at the same time.

And what about Lin Yuan?

When he realized he was being attacked, he immediately rushed off the stage.

In fact, he had two choices: First, to fight back. With his superior equipment, even if he couldn't win, he could still put up a few punches. Second, he could leave immediately using a teleportation scroll.

However, he ruled out both of these options.

As he ran, he shouted at Yang Qi, "Principal, help!"

Alpaca!

Yang Qi cursed inwardly.

When he saw Lin Yuan being assassinated, he was first stunned, then overjoyed.

Someone did what he wanted to do but didn't dare to!

However, there seemed to be too many of these "some people." There were actually two assassins, and what's more, these two assassins appeared at the same time and managed to block each other's attacks.

What a coincidence!

Then you guys hurry up and continue!

To his disappointment, the two seemed to have gone mad; after missing their first attack, they didn't continue to attack!

Then, Lin Yuan shouted.

—If Lin Yuan hadn't shouted like that, even if Lin Yuan were killed, he could have claimed that he was too shocked to react during the investigation. But now that Lin Yuan shouted like that, could he still pretend to be stupid?

If he fails to save his own student, especially such a nationally renowned and outstanding freshman at Wuhan University, it's not just a matter of losing his position as president; he will be questioned and even investigated for any connection between him and the assassin!

The teachers at Wuhan University in Shanghai are extremely protective of their own; they'd definitely try to ruin you.

So, even though he was unwilling, Yang Qi had no choice but to act with a dark face, leaping towards Lin Yuan while shouting, "How dare you! You dare to assassinate a student of our school! Hmph, you're asking for death!"

In an instant, he held a long spear in both hands, swinging it towards the two assassins behind Lin Yuan.

boom!

The two assassins joined forces and exchanged blows with Yang Qi.

"Pfft—" Yang Qi's expression changed drastically, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Those two assassins are incredibly skilled!

He might be able to put up a fight in a one-on-one situation, but he has absolutely no chance of winning against two opponents.

He immediately had the idea of ​​backing out.

But would the two assassins back down when he stood in their way?

"kill!"

The two assassins simultaneously unleashed their ultimate attacks, thrusting towards Yang Qi.

If they kill this man, they can face Lin Yuan directly.

Could a mere freshman from the class of 20 at Wuhan University possibly withstand a single blow from them?

The mission must be completed!

boom!

Yang Qi was forced into this situation, but when two gleaming daggers thrust at him, each strike contained terrifying destructive power, he had no choice but to defend himself with all his might.

With a loud bang, a powerful shockwave spread in all directions, instantly destroying the entire auditorium. Fortunately, all the students and teachers were players, and even if their levels were low, their physical abilities were far superior to those of ordinary people, allowing them to rush out of the ruins.

Even if a few people are trapped, they can quickly push away the ceiling, walls, etc. that are pressing on them and struggle to climb out to survive.

Amidst the ruins, three figures suddenly burst through the building debris, shooting out like Superman.

"Good!" Lin Yuan clapped repeatedly from afar. "The principal is truly mighty and domineering! Keep it up, take down both of these assassins! How dare they cause trouble at No. 3 Middle School? Don't they know how powerful our Principal Yang is?"

Alpaca! Alpaca!

Yang Qi cursed inwardly, "Do I want to be this imposing and domineering?"

Wasn't it all caused by your roar, you little beast?

He was 100% certain that the two assassins opposite him were both level 90 or above, but not level 100, because their strength was comparable to his. Otherwise, their equipment level would have been a level higher, allowing them to crush him.

Of course, it's also possible that they are indeed level 100 or above, but they are not all wearing gold equipment, and some of their pieces are silver-level.

In any case, neither of these two was weaker than him, and he suffered a great loss fighting two against one!

A bloody hole had appeared in his waist, and blood was gushing out.

There was no way around it; it was a gap between pieces of equipment, which one of the assassins keenly spotted, stabbing him with a dagger and causing him to bleed profusely.

He's been the principal for too long, living a life of luxury. The last time he fought a life-or-death battle was many years ago.

They, on the other hand, walk on the edge of life and death every day; their actual combat skills are on completely different levels!

At this moment, Yang Qi had developed a strong desire to retreat.

—His rush to block was not his true intention, but rather out of fear of being held accountable afterward. However, if he were to lose his life right now, would he still continue?

Of course not.

Just as he hesitated, a figure flew over from a distance at an astonishing speed.

Lin Yuan didn't know if he jumped over or could really fly; almost instantly, the figure appeared above the Third Middle School.

"Hmph, how dare they cause trouble in Suzhou? They're asking for death!"

boom!

A giant golden hand descended from the sky and slapped towards the two assassins.

The two assassins retreated swiftly, their bodies contorting like ripples before vanishing without a trace.

Stealth is the signature skill of an assassin.

They... disappeared.
