166, Qian Renxue: The Nine Treasures turn out to have colored glaze, one called power! [3k]_1

Countless skill data emerged in Thousand Waves' mind, and he stood still, tuning out the hum of the sword in his hands, meticulously experiencing them.

"Swordsman's Journey, Bring in the Wine, Divine Stroke, Green Lotus Sword Song..."

Then came the data for various equipment bonuses. Thousand Waves browsed them one by one in his mind, understanding them, his eyes becoming brighter, as if he had discovered some precious treasure.

"The characters from this plane actually possess so many magical equipment pieces, if these were in Soul Land, each one would be at the Artifact level!"

Thousand Waves exclaimed.

Clearly, he had fully understood everything about this hero.

At present, the damage level was still unknown, but Thousand Waves felt confident that this hero template would shine in the Soul Master competition.

Thousand Waves looked towards his granddaughter with a bit of joy. Although he did not know about the other heroes, he really liked the Li Bai template!

This was all thanks to his dear granddaughter's good luck.

Thousand Waves felt delighted inside; he smiled and said to below the stage:

"Prince Qinghe, it's your turn. Come up."

"Mm."

Qian Renxue nodded her head and stepped onto the stage.

However, Lin Yi felt a bit puzzled at this moment.

"Didn't Prince Qinghe acquire the Golden Dragon King's bloodline? Why would the Great Priest assist in the attack, unless... you've already made your choice?"

Facing Lin Yi's confusion, Qian Renxue nodded firmly.

"Yes, Senior. I don't plan to use the Golden Dragon King's bloodline to attack. Although the golden color rewards are tempting, the bloodline lasts only for three days."

"Moreover, I can't guarantee that the damage will reach the Gold Intermediate level after the bloodline fades, needing 800,000 damage. To avoid missing out on the Golden Junior reward later, I chose to increase my damage gradually."

After listening, Lin Yi glanced at Thousand Waves' expression, guessing that this must be a result of grandfather and granddaughter's joint discussion.

"Qinghe's thought coincides with mine. Seeing him resist the immediate temptation for a steady progress, fills my heart with comfort."

Emperor Xueye nodded with a smile below the stage.

Ning Fengzhi: "Ah yes, Qing He is becoming more and more capable. This is fortunate for Your Majesty and for the Tiandou Empire."

...

"Alright, I respect your decision. Begin your attack for today."

Lin Yi said calmly.

"Yes, Senior."

Qian Renxue and Thousand Waves exchanged a glance, and she took her place behind her grandfather, still choosing to assist.

And for Thousand Waves, this time's attack mode did not plan to use the Li Bai template, since Li Bai's unpredictability was significant; he intended to use it only in the great Soul Master contest.

After all, the latest Soul Master contest was an event where one could unleash damage without considering consequences.

It would definitely be a feast of damage!

Last time, his granddaughter's damage record was 390,000. Thousand Waves pondered for a moment and then decided on this time's attack mode.

First soul skill + Martial Soul True Body + Angelic Holy Light.

This mode had appeared before, but with the addition of the Divine Artifact, the damage was now different.

"Martial Soul True Body!"

Thousand Waves shouted, his body absorbing the energy of the Seraph while enveloped in Qian Renxue's Angelic Holy Light.

His dazzling golden form, wielding the Angel Holy Sword, cracked the platform with his right foot, his leaping figure falling like a meteor, with the descending blade of the sword seeming to split the space in two!

"Boom!"

Thousand Waves' attacks always caused complete silence in the venue.

After all, he was the only human who managed to bring the damage up to the Gold Level.

When the attack ended, there would be a Red Senior Injury, and the Damage Rebound also made Thousand Waves cautious.

However, just as he was preparing to withstand the rebound with his own injury, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Bang!"

Qian Renxue turned her body to the side, raising her right arm and directly dissipating the Damage Rebound with her strong body defense.

"Great Priest, this time it's my turn to protect you," she said, smiling back at him.

Thousand Waves also smiled upon hearing this.

However, the smile on Emperor Xueye's face gradually faded away.

How come these two seemed to be getting closer and closer?

After a moment, he suddenly realized:

"My child is indeed my child, seizing the opportunity to gain the trust of Martial Soul Hall. Surely this will benefit the Empire in sharing the latest news with Martial Soul Hall... Qing He is more strategic than I, to my shame."

...

Lin Yi looked towards the panel.

[Blood Loss: 427,861]

[Remaining Health: 899,960,370,143]

[Damage Grade: Red (High-Level)]

[Random Reward: Exchange Item Card (Red Junior, Black Advanced) *1]

[Host Reward: Exchange Item Card (Red Junior, Black Advanced) *3]

A new Prop Card?

Lin Yi checked the annotations and discovered the Prop Card's simple function.

"Damage 427,861, Red Senior Injury, your reward is an Exchange Prop Card," Lin Yi said, flicking the red luminous orb at his fingertips, transforming it into a red card.

He explained, "The Red Level Prop Card is very flexible. You can choose to use it or not; either way it won't affect you."

"Its function allows you to exchange your Red Advanced reward for three Red Junior rewards or six Black Advanced rewards. The choice is yours."

"So, would you like to use the Prop Card?"

"Use it!"

Qian Renxue answered without hesitation.

As a reward, a Prop Card definitely had bonuses; there was no doubt about it.

Moreover, this one didn't require completing any tasks like truth or dare, or time-limited challenges, which was already quite nice.

However, which one should be redeemed?

Qian Renxue looked at Thousand Waves and suddenly saw her grandfather's mouth shape the word "Red."

Yes, red!

Three Red Junior rewards were bound to be stronger than six Black Level rewards!

"I choose to redeem three Red Junior rewards,"

said Qian Renxue immediately.

"As you wish."

Lin Yi crushed the card, and with a flick of his palm in mid-air, the pieces immediately transformed into three red light orbs floating in the air.

Qian Renxue swallowed her disbelief.

Exchanging one Red Senior reward for three Red Junior ones felt like an extreme bargain, the quality difference between the same color rewards was actually not that big.

"The first Red Junior reward, three Peach Blossom Needles."

When Lin Yi finished speaking, he flicked the light orb toward Qian Renxue, who caught it with surprised delight.

She remembered when she first received this reward at the Black Advanced Level; because she was unfamiliar with it, she had wasted it on the spot. Now, she suddenly had three, which greatly compensated for the previous regret!

"The second Red Junior reward, one of your Martial Souls will be bestowed with full Soul Rings, each exceeding fifty thousand years,"

Lin Yi said and flicked the light orb toward Qian Renxue again.

As she merged with the light orb, a colorfully dazzling Martial Soul was released from Qian Renxue—it was the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda!

She hadn't had the chance to acquire Soul Rings when she obtained this Martial Soul before; she didn't expect to get full Soul Rings through this reward!

Now she could finally use the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul for support!

Qian Renxue was beyond ecstatic.

Emperor Xueye was grinning from ear to ear. He turned to Ning Fengzhi and asked, "Sect Master Ning, aren't you happy for Prince Qinghe? He has truly inherited your legacy!"

"Happy, I'm overjoyed!"

Ning Fengzhi responded with a laugh, tears of joy streaming down his face—it looked like he was genuinely happy.

Lin Yi flicked the last red light orb toward Qian Renxue.

"The third Red Junior reward, an Evolution Spirit Stone, which you can apply to your Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul."

Qian Renxue paused, feeling an intense gaze on her back at that moment.

But she was inexplicably excited!

"Thank you, Senior!"

she happily responded and immediately applied the Evolution Spirit Stone to the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

Just then, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda emitted a dazzling light, its seven colors turning to nine. The light swirled upward, adding two more layers to the pagoda's top!

The successful transformation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda to the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda almost made Qian Renxue cheer on the spot.

Ning Fengzhi's smile became a bit stiff. Emperor Xueye, looking pleased, leaned in and asked, "Sect Master Ning, aren't you happy?"

"Wind Grace is already moved to tears, Your Majesty,"

Ning Fengzhi replied, wiping his tears.

Why was watching Qing He claim her rewards so agonizing?

Qian Renxue looked down at the nine-layered glazed tower in her palm, with eight circles of pitch-black Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings rotating around it—it was so beautiful.

The sight was too thrilling for words.

"Thank you so much, Senior…"

Qian Renxue said gratefully to Lin Yi.

"Such rich rewards. In my opinion, Prince Qinghe ought to give Senior Lin Yi a hug in thanks,"

Thousand Waves said with "good intentions."

Qian Renxue's expression stiffened, and even though she was disguised as a man, her cheeks inevitably reddened.

Grandfather, isn't that calculation of yours a bit too loud? Aren't you afraid others will hear?!

"That won't be necessary."

Lin Yi said coldly.

Qian Renxue looked up at him, her heart inexplicably feeling a faint sense of loss.

He smiled and gave another bow, saying awkwardly, "Let's proceed with the second attack…"

This second attack, Qian Renxue could now use the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda openly.

Standing behind Thousand Waves, she summoned her second Martial Soul.

The splendidly beautiful Glazed Tower floated in mid-air, the nine colors dazzling.

The grandfather and granddaughter seamlessly reused the previous attack pattern, as the damage was sure to be increased.

"Nine Treasures turn out of the glazed, first one is strength!"

Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar mnemonic, Sect Master Ning below felt numb.

His already deep obsession instantly deepened; he had to get the evolution reward! Even a mutation reward would do!

The powerful enhancement settled on Thousand Waves, causing his Angelic Holy Light to emit even more blinding light.

At this moment, Thousand Waves was like a small, intensely bright sun. He swung his sword, enveloped in radiant light, bringing it down straight on Lin Yi's head.

"Boom!"

"Nine Treasures are known, fourth is defense!"

Qian Renxue certainly knew her grandfather could withstand the Damage Rebound, but she still wanted to use the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda again!

Heh, no other reason, just for fun!
