"Hey, I'm telling you! My second attack hasn't even started yet! First come, first served! You can't cut in line!"
Yan rushed over and glared at the Soul Masters who were trying to climb onto the stands.
He had just finished meditating and was eagerly preparing to unleash all his passion on Lin Yi.
And this is what they do to him? Can he tolerate this?
Under pressure from the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, the Soul Masters dared not offend them and could only grumble and curse as they left the stands, obediently lining up in line.
Seeing this, Lin Yi felt somewhat disappointed.
Even Lian Yan didn't dare to offend them, which means that there were very few people in this group whose soul power level was not worth mentioning. At most, they were all soul masters around level 30 or 40.
That won't do.
Don't say that these people have low soul power, their talent is definitely not that great either. They are just a bunch of gua sha masters, it's a complete waste of time.
We need to spread the word about this as soon as possible to attract more powerful Soul Masters so that we can get better rewards.
"Senior, I'm ready."
Yan approached Lin Yi again and bowed respectfully.
Lin Yi glanced at him and said indifferently, "There's no need to be so respectful to me. Remember, I'm just a person who wants to die. You fulfill my wish, and I'll give you the reward you deserve. It's just a fair trade."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena pursed her red lips, her small hand hesitating as if to raise it.
She now believes that the reward Lin Yi offered was real, and that his strength was genuine.
Otherwise, how could he have escaped without any signs of injury after being attacked by Xie Yue?
only...
It's all because Lin Yi's acting was too good!
His unwavering gaze, determined to die, touched Hu Liena's heart and evoked empathy.
"Senior, is it inhumane for us to try to kill you in exchange for a reward? I feel guilty about it."
Hu Liena said softly.
Xie Yue nodded upon hearing this. Helping him break through was an immense favor, yet he received it in return by attacking his benefactor…
Yan glanced at Hu Liena, then lowered his head in shame. As expected, Nana was more mature; he hadn't even realized that.
What?!
Would these three guys really think that way?
Why should I feel bad? I'm clearly making a killing by doing this!
No, you can't have any sympathy for me! What I need is harm!
Lin Yi frowned: "Am I someone who needs your sympathy and pity? If you don't want to kill me for the reward, then get lost and give the opportunity to the next person. I don't have time to talk about humanity with you!"
Upon hearing this, the three were taken aback, lowered their heads, and quickly apologized, "We're sorry, senior!"
Xie Yue looked at the two people beside her: "Yan, sister, since senior is determined to die, let's do our best to fulfill his wish."
"Um."
Seeing the change in the three people's attitude, Lin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What he couldn't see was that Hu Liena's gaze was still filled with reluctance.
"Senior, I'm about to launch my second attack on you."
Yan said solemnly.
Lin Yi: "Put some effort into it, or I'll look down on you."
"...yes!"
Yan opened his eyes wide and took several deep breaths. For some reason, he was a little nervous, afraid that Lin Yi would look down on his injuries.
A scorching heat arose once more. Yan released his martial spirit, and the Flame Lord displayed his domineering aura. Rocks and fire swirled in the air, mixing into molten lava.
Lin Yi watched with great envy; he also longed to possess a martial spirit.
If Yan were to hear his inner thoughts, Yan would definitely question the meaning of life. How could such a powerful senior not even have a martial soul?!
"Fourth Soul Skill! Magma Surge!"
Following Yan's guidance, the scorching, dark red magma shot towards Lin Yi's chest like a huge, flaming arrow.
For some reason, seeing this scene made Hu Liena's heart jump.
"Bang!"
The scalding lava struck Lin Yi's chest and, unsurprisingly, splashed outwards, unable to penetrate his chest or even leave a burn mark.
Despite having some expectation in mind, Yan still lowered his head in disappointment.
[HP Loss: 9995]
[Remaining HP: 999999969742]
[Damage Level: Yellow]
[Random Reward: Fire Manipulation Proficiency +100]
[Host Reward: Gain fire manipulation ability and proficiency +10000]
Lin Yi was overjoyed; it was exactly what he wanted!
Having just obtained the ultimate fire mastery from Yan, I have now gained the ability to control flames!
Even though he's not a Soul Master yet, he can now control fire elements at the level of ultimate fire!
However, they cannot express this joy.
Lin Yi's expression was indifferent as he shook his head and sighed slightly, "What a pity, it was just a hair's breadth away from reaching the purple level of damage, really just a hair's breadth away."
"Based on the damage dealt, I can only give you a yellow-level reward: an increase in fire manipulation proficiency..."
After he finished speaking, a yellow ball of light flashed in his hand and entered Yan's chest.
In that instant, Yan did feel that he had gained a deeper understanding of flames, but he couldn't feel happy.
Yan frowned, clearly remembering that the reward Lin Yi gave after Xie Yue's attack was emitting a purple light, and the level of purple light should be above that of yellow light.
Thinking of this, he asked somewhat humbly, "Senior, could you tell me how much damage I'm short of reaching the purple level?"
Lin Yi looked at him with a subtle expression: "It's probably about the same damage a three-year-old would cause by punching you."
Upon hearing this, Yan's eyes widened, and she took a step back in disbelief.
He knelt on the ground, clutching his head and screaming in despair, "No!!! Why! Why! It's too hard!"
Xie Yue twitched the corner of his mouth.
He stepped forward and patted Yan on the shoulder, comforting him, "Don't be discouraged. Senior said that my full-force attack just now only reached the purple level. Try to perform exceptionally well tomorrow."
Xie Yue's words of comfort had an effect.
Yan stood up with a serious expression and muttered to himself, "I'll cultivate all night tonight. I refuse to believe that the damage of my fourth soul skill can't be increased to the level of a three-year-old punching me!"
After saying that, he jumped off the stands and rushed directly towards the Spirit Hall.
Seeing Yan's enthusiasm and drive, Lin Yi felt very gratified.
Xie Yue then looked at Hu Liena and said, "Nana, why don't you give it a try?"
"I..."
Hu Liena looked at Lin Yi, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"My soul skills are mostly supportive, and their damage is not high. Even if they were to attack, they wouldn't be of much use."
Xie Yue shook his head: "Then let's give it a try. Even if the damage level isn't high, maybe we can get some rewards that match your needs."
Lin Yi also discovered that the rewards dropped by the system would vary to some extent according to the psychological needs of the attacker.
The only difference is the degree of damage, which affects the quality of the dropped rewards.
"Actually, it doesn't necessarily require just one person to attack. You can join forces to launch an attack, and you can freely distribute the rewards."
Lin Yi's plan was very clever; he was well aware that Hu Liena and Xie Yue possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Technique...
