148, the Demon-modified Dragon-slaying Saber with a damage of 999! [First Update]_1
Di Tian glanced at the damage number on the board, 526843, a result of his last effort.
Dragon God Claw indeed was Di Tian's most remarkable skill; he had lived in Soul Land for nearly a million years and had mastered this skill to perfection.
Although he couldn't guarantee that the damage would reach six hundred thousand, he could ensure that he kept the damage precisely within the range of five hundred to six hundred thousand.
So Di Tian planned to use the Dragon God Claw for damage in the early stages.
That way, he could keep freeloading the Golden Junior rewards...
As for the Gold Intermediate level, with additional damage or supportive boosts, he should be able to push through, but Di Tian didn't want to raise the damage too high too soon.
After Lin Yi's introduction last time, it seemed that Gold Intermediate required 800,000 damage...
Di Tian swallowed hard and decided to stay at the Golden Junior level for now; after all, one should have dreams, and it wasn't like there wouldn't be more opportunities later on.
"So, I attack now?"
"Just go ahead and attack already."
Lin Yi frowned slightly; this guy had been muttering to himself since the beginning, and if he hadn't spoken, one might have thought he'd been scared stiff.
"Alright!"
Di Tian took a step back, and his right hand began to emit a gloomy color.
Patches of pitch-black scales covered it, and as a dark, annihilative aura emerged, a subtle rainbow hue clung to the scales on his right hand.
Five sharp claws extended, the dragon's roar became more intense, and a dragon's head phantom, unlike that of the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, flashed momentarily. Di Tian charged towards Lin Yi with a clear shout.
"Hum——"
The air groaned in pain due to Di Tian's swelling right claw, as the light of oblivion focused and burst forth.
"Bang!"
All the damage was precisely focused by Di Tian straight onto Lin Yi's chest!
The entire process of attack was extremely tense for him because there would be Damage Rebound...
The rebound of damage at the Gold Rank was incredibly terrifying; Di Tian knew this too well after his previous attack.
Hence, the platform now witnessed the scene before us, where Di Tian, right after his attack, hurriedly ran towards the edge of the platform, firmly believing that putting distance would definitely weaken the damage!
In the final moment, Di Tian turned around, the black dragon roared, and his defenses were fully stacked, but when the damage impact arrived, his body was still instantly knocked away.
Gu Yuena immediately raised her fair little hand, and the ground rumbled as a pillar of earth erupted and yanked Di Tian's body back onto the platform.
"Smack!"
Di Tian lay flat on the platform like a frog, with his front and back aching so much that he was grimacing in pain.
My lord, you might as well not have helped me...
The surrounding crowd was shocked; was the Damage Rebound of Gold Rank really this severe?!
Lin Yi himself had always been puzzled about the Damage Rebound on him.
Logically, Damage Rebound should be lower than the damage dealt by the attacker, but in reality, it seemed that none of the attackers could normally withstand the rebound damage they caused.
Especially above the Red Intermediate level.
"To all those who hope to deal Golden Damage, it's necessary for me to remind you not to underestimate the Damage Rebound after the attack,"
Lin Yi said, casting a glance at certain individuals before continuing, "When dealing damage as a group, protect the weak; the Damage Rebound at the Gold Rank is absolutely lethal for them."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe, and others including Bi Ji all had a change of expression.
After all, they were the ones considered weaker in a team damage scenario.
"I'm scared, Master…"
After Bi Ji said that, she clung to Gu Yuena's arm, their chests pressing together.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you when the time comes."
"Mm-hmm."
...
Unbeknownst to them, everyone's damage level had been developing towards the Gold level and above.
Lin Yi suddenly felt a bit emotional.
He looked at the panel.
[Blood Loss: 519784]
[Remaining Health: 899965447648]
[Damage Grade: Red High-Tier (Downgraded)]
[Random Reward: Eternal Weapon Roulette*1]
[Host Reward: Eternal Weapon Roulette*3]
The reward actually got downgraded?
Well, Lin Yi was somewhat surprised.
Just now, this guy was mumbling to himself for so long, Lin Yi thought he had some precise plan for the damage he was going to deal…
In the end, it turned into a reward downgrade.
"Damage 519784, which is lower than the last time, so the reward grade has been downgraded from Golden Junior to Red High-Tier."
Di Tian was stunned after hearing this.
He raised his hand in surprise and touched the back of his head… Damn!
Why is there a few thousand less damage? Could there be a problem somewhere?
Is it because of the suppression just now?
"The reward is the Eternal Weapon Roulette, and the Golden Dragon Spear was drawn from this reward. Although downgraded, it can still be anticipated," Lin Yi said and threw the red light ball in his hand into the air.
Speaking of which, many people can't even touch Red Intermediate Damage at this point.
Like those elders from the Martial Soul Hall, they've been hovering at Red Junior Damage for days, with several people even experiencing quality downgrades to Black Advanced Level.
And Di Tian's downgrade to Red High-Tier Damage has already made many people envious.
Let's hope for a decent weapon to comfort Dragon King's injured heart… Di Tian walked toward The Big Wheel in a depressed mood.
After spinning, he quietly waited for a minute, and then the wheel stopped.
Di Tian looked at Lin Yi with hopeful eyes.
When the pointer selection opened, the result showed: [Dragon-slaying Saber]
Di Tian's expression was blank when he saw these three characters.
A dragon, getting a Dragon-slaying Saber?
Lin Yi looked to the system's notes and understood that the Dragon-slaying Saber that appeared here was a Demon-modified Dragon-slaying Saber, with a remark as follows:
[This saber has slaughtered 999 pure-blood dragons (not from Douluo plane) and encased within it are 999 dragon souls. When used, it can summon an army of 999 dragon souls, also known as One Saber 999]
With a flick of his finger, Lin Yi sent a light point shooting from the wheel into Di Tian's hand, transforming into a broad and short saber.
The blade was engraved with crimson dragon patterns, as if soaked in the blood of ancient dragons. Besides that, its edge was incredibly sharp, severing as soon as it fell.
Lin Yi gave Di Tian an introduction to the saber's note, except for the part about the slaughter of 999 dragons…
"This is a very good weapon," he concluded in the end.
It certainly was a very good weapon. Di Tian stared at the blade, his eyes shining so brightly they seemed about to shoot out golden light.
He carefully stored it away and looked at Lin Yi, already eager for his second attack.
There had been a slight mishap just now; this time, he had to avoid it.
Di Tian's right foot shattered the platform, and like the wind, he rushed in front of Lin Yi. His right claw radiated a black glow as he lifted it, making the twilight sunset seem a shade dimmer.
"Bang!"
After the attack, Di Tian withdrew backward, sliding four or five meters away.
With his right foot as the pivot, his body spun 180 degrees, and his still-fading right claw punched out towards the incoming Damage Rebound.
Countering damage with damage!
"Roar——"
The roar of a dragon covered the entire field.
