But that sense of relief lasted less than a second. As soon as Leonard Wolf spoke, I understood what was going on. “Hey! We’ve already signed the duel contract. This man died in a fair duel. If you want to start a fight now, then bring it on!”

“This guy was actually part of the team that was supposed to duel us?” The moment I kicked out, I regretted my impulsiveness, and Leonard Wolf’s words made me secretly sigh in relief.

“Looks like our duel is happening ahead of schedule!” One of the opponents, a big Black man, said coldly. Leonard Wolf spread his hands nonchalantly, grinned at them, and replied, “Personally, I’d really like to let you all finish your last supper! Of course, if you’re not hungry, we can start right now!”

“These lunatics!”

Sparks flew between the eyes of the two thugs—everyone knew there was no way this would end peacefully.

I slowly opened my Devil’s Book, intending to take out the ancient blade Guyue, but accidentally noticed that the number of treasures I owned had somehow increased to three. I also had eleven more cards than before. Flipping to the back, the new text in the duel contract gave me a general idea of what had happened.

Duel Contract

Opponent: Moses

Victory Condition: Death of one party

Victory Reward: Obtain all of the opponent’s inheritance

Result: Victory, instant kill of Moses.

According to the duel contract, after the unlucky Moses died, all his cards and treasures were transferred into my Devil’s Book.

Amid the commotion, Leonard Wolf, Jack, Samuel Barton, and the remaining six members of that team left the cafeteria. Many people followed to watch the excitement. Only a small number, with cold or calm expressions, stayed behind to continue enjoying their dinner.

Taking advantage of this moment, I decided to organize my Devil’s Book and get myself into the best fighting condition, so I didn’t immediately follow them out. Besides, that killing kick just now had left my mind unsettled.

Moses’s communication card, battle record card, and demon language card were useless to me, so I casually took them out of the Devil’s Book and put them into the storage card. Once placed in the storage card, these cards would be treated as ordinary junk and wouldn’t have any effect. His healing card and storage card, on the other hand, would give me one more healing ability and double my storage space, so I planned to keep those.

Besides the five basic cards, this opponent had six other cards. Apart from a Demon Island bank card with over two million in funds, the remaining five were Fireball Spell Level 2 and Level 3, Wind Blade Spell Level 2 and Level 3—Level 1 cards had probably already been used by Moses. The last card was Dynamic Vision, which could increase a person’s dynamic vision twelvefold. Although it wasn’t much help in combat, I still activated it.

As for Moses’s treasure, it was a bottle containing 198 pills.

Berserk Pill (×198)

Level 4 Treasure

Takes effect within three seconds of consumption, lasts for one hour.

Can unleash all potential, putting the user into a berserker state.

After use, a healing card is needed to restore health.

“Talk about luck—if this guy had taken one of these pills in a real fight, I would’ve been killed instantly!”

This conflict made me realize a weakness in using cards and treasures in real combat: if you don’t take them out in advance, you can’t use them. That Moses just now didn’t have time to use his cards or treasures, which is why I was able to kick him to death.

Chapter 16: Fearsome Reputation Spreads

“In these sudden battles, my Tenfold Strength Card really gives me an edge. But in a head-on fight, ten times the strength is still too little. How am I supposed to deal with that Remington?” Outside, the crowd was roaring—the duel had already begun. I scratched my head, pondering this troublesome problem as I walked out of the cafeteria, a berserk pill secretly hidden in my palm.

Jack and Samuel Barton were keeping a wary distance from the opposing team, while Leonard Wolf had already knocked down one opponent and was continuing to challenge them. “Let me see, who’s my next opponent?”

Leonard Wolf shouted provocatively. A very tall and skinny Western man with a head of messy blond hair stepped out of the group and said disdainfully, “Let me end your life. I hope you have something worthwhile on you!”

Leonard Wolf looked at his opponent, his eyes full of bloodlust. His Bear Transformation Card had already been destroyed by the bald instructor Virgil, and I had no idea what other tricks he had up his sleeve.

“Even if he got all of Miss Devil’s belongings, there probably isn’t anything good, right? Julia only had two level-four cards. But since he already took down one opponent, he should have gotten some spoils.” Although this companion was dangerous, I still hoped Leonard Wolf would win.

His opponent stretched and then let out a roar, his body swelling and transforming into a Tyrannosaurus rex. That enormous, ferocious maw and those savage eyes exuded the threat of a prehistoric beast.

“Even if Leonard Wolf still had his Bear Transformation Card, he wouldn’t be a match for this guy! A T-Rex is way tougher than a bear.” That’s what I thought, but Leonard Wolf seemed completely unconcerned. He raised both middle fingers in a provocative gesture, and the Western man who had transformed into a T-Rex roared and immediately lunged, jaws wide, at Leonard Wolf’s head.
