125, Don't get excited, Divine Artifacts are as cheap as cabbages with me [First Update]_1

As soon as Di Tian finished speaking, all eyes at the scene converged on Gu Yuena.

Even Bi Ji, standing aside, felt so awkward she wished she could dig a hole with her toes, not to mention Gu Yuena herself.

But Di Tian spoke the truth, not a word was amiss; Gu Yuena indeed dared not fight Lin Yi.

She had considered all the factors and constraints.

However, all the factors pointed to one reason: Gu Yuena believed she could not possibly defeat Lin Yi.

The boy before her, seemingly human but actually more special than the gods, had an unimaginable foundation of strength.

Take this moment, for instance: the brashness of Di Tian in her presence, tattling all of her thoughts to everyone because of his understanding of her, would have certainly warranted a thrashing by her temper.

But due to Lin Yi's presence, Gu Yuena very rationally abandoned the idea, even though she was furious.

If a fray started and she lost to Lin Yi, the result would affect many things, including the reputation of the Dragon God and the balance between humans and soul beasts.

"Step down!"

Gu Yuena could only frown and issue the stern command to Di Tian.

Startled by her shout, Di Tian had steeled himself for whatever came; now that backing down was as good as death, he might as well strive to fulfil his master's stubborn wishes and perhaps avoid punishment.

"Senior, please!"

Ever since tasting the sweetness of rewards last time, he truly wanted to stick close to the mighty Lin Yi and never leave his side.

With Lin Yi, who needed to cultivate anymore!

Screw those bitter days—let them be someone else's past!

"You... don't get agitated."

The usually composed Lin Yi couldn't help but twitch at the sight of Di Tian's pleading look.

He knew Di Tian was close to death now; hence Di Tian had to achieve something before stepping down to escape execution.

Lin Yi certainly hoped for Gu Yuena to attack, but he didn't want to appear as if he was fawning over her.

Everyone, or soul beast, should be treated equally in his presence.

"For now, stay away from me."

Lin Yi spoke calmly, watching Di Tian who was almost clinging onto him.

It was hard to imagine that the formidable and imposing Di Tian from the original story had no resistance against the lure of rewards.

Could it be that the natural cultivation process for soul beasts was really so difficult?

"Fine, I will schedule your attack after Dai Ben's today, but on the second day, I must see you first at the venue; otherwise, you will not be allowed to attack."

Hearing this statement, Gu Yuena's eyes instantly lit up with joy.

Lin Yi had actually agreed!

No, she mustn't show her elation... ahem, Gu Yuena cleared her throat and said with a cool demeanor, "Attack... hmph, it's worth a try."

Di Tian glanced back and then walked down cautiously, but one look from Gu Yuena was enough to make him cover his head with his hands in terror.

"Spare my life, master!"

Di Tian, the mighty Soul Beast God, had no dignity left in front of Gu Yuena.

"We'll settle this later."

Gu Yuena spoke coldly, arms crossed over her chest.

Di Tian was delighted inside, relieved to have dodged a bullet—her words implied she was pleased, after all.

With the interlude over, Thousand Waves then stepped up to the stage.

The shadow of the last draw had not yet dissipated, but reading the memoir had significantly changed his mindset.

The goal of the powerful should be set for the long term.

He was learning from Huang Tian Emperor and Yetiandi.

This first attack, Thousand Waves decided not to rely on the power of the Four-Word Battle Armor; he wanted to use his own strength.

Just like Bi Bidong's Hao Tian Hammer attack mode, Thousand Waves chose his sixth soul skill + Martial Soul True Body.

Standing before Lin Yi, Thousand Waves closed his eyes.

Soon, a surge of Light Element so powerful that even Gu Yuena was taken aback was released on the scene.

A gigantic Six-winged Angel Phantom emerged behind Thousand Waves, bathing everyone in its golden radiance as if gilding their faces with a layer of gold leaf.

"A Level 99 Soul Master amongst humans..."

Gu Yuena couldn't help but murmur, curious about the exact power of each soul skill a Level 99 Soul Master possessed.

It would be very straightforward with data representation.

"My lord, it seems that the previous damage record was held by him," Di Tian said from the side.

"It doesn't matter," Gu Yuena glanced at the 500,000 on the wooden plaque and said, "By the end of today, my record will be the one inscribed here."

"But my lord, to drive the damage so high right from the start..."

Gu Yuena coolly retorted, "If I can easily deal Golden Damage, why should I covet the Black Level reward?"

Di Tian was suddenly at a loss for words.

That did seem to be the case, indeed. They could never reach the heights of their lord's thinking!

"Sixth soul skill, Angel's Roar!"

Named Angel's Roar, yet the angel phantom behind Thousand Waves made no sound, only circles of golden rings cascaded toward Lin Yi.

It was as if they were waves of sound composed of the Light Element.

The golden rings fell upon Lin Yi, shattering one after another, quite resembling the futility of eggs striking a rock.

"He's completely immune to the Light Element," Gu Yuena couldn't help but talk to herself, which at least proved one thing, she had one less trump card to use against Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Blood loss: 337684]

[Remaining Health: 899970643462]

[Damage Grade: Red (Intermediate)]

[Random Reward: Angel Holy Sword*60 days]

[Host Reward: Angel Holy Sword*permanent]

Wow, this reward has struck it big, from sixty days to permanent!

This seemed to be Lin Yi's first Divine Artifact with a permanent usage right.

"Damage 337684, Red Intermediate, your reward is a sixty-day usage right for the Divine Angelic Holy Sword."

The moment the reward was announced, hardly anyone cared about the damage anymore.

Thousand Waves was shocked; while Divine Artifacts had dropped before, like Bi Bidong's Rakshasa Scythe, it only had a 30-day duration!

A Red Intermediate reward, yet it could last twice as long!

"Is he planning to lend his Divine Artifact for sixty days..." Gu Yuena couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

No doubt, there was only one such artifact, and if given away, Lin Yi would no longer have it—he was indeed very generous!

It seemed as if Lin Yi heard Gu Yuena's surprise and the corner of his mouth curled slightly.

He tossed the Angel Holy Sword in his hand to Thousand Waves, who excitedly caught it. The next moment stunned everyone present.

Lin Yi pulled out four more identical swords, each emanating the aura of gods, and cradled them casually in his arms as if they were cabbages being given away for free.

"I have an abundance of Divine Artifacts, I can even give away permanent ones if your damage is high enough, giving away two permanent ones is no problem," Lin Yi declared.

Gu Yuena was dumbfounded.

Thousand Waves, looking down at the Angel Holy Sword with a sixty-day duration, suddenly felt less enthusiastic about his reward.

Actually, Lin Yi didn't possess any Angel Holy Swords; he had merely crushed three Deity Experience Cards, each lasting half a minute, and pulled out three Divine Artifacts, plus his own permanent one, to pretend being a big shot for a moment.

Just painting them a big picture, a standard procedure.

Yet judging by the expressions on their faces, it was clear they believed him.
