437, Gu Yuena: Just a smile touched my heart [First Update]_1

"The ability of Peony is to induce illusions; as long as one smells its fragrance, they will experience visions, either of the person they like the most or of what they fear the most, the sight that terrifies them deep inside. Skin contact with its pollen will produce the same hallucinatory effect."

When Lin Yi read the explanation of this field of flowers, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As mentioned before, if the first two types of flowers made it difficult for one to take even a step, then the role of the peony flowers was to force one to move!

Who could remain calm and stand still after seeing illusions?

The moment one moved, they would come into contact with the roses and wild chrysanthemums...

Then, boom!

When Lin Yi now heard the word 'sea of flowers,' no longer did he think of the free and beautiful sensation described in Director Zhou's songs; all he felt was gloomy and horrifying.

"Sea of Sorrow: The maximum control range is one thousand square kilometers. It exerts mental control over living beings within it, making victims think of the most painful things in their hearts, so agonizing that they can't extricate themselves, their minds bewildered, wandering endlessly until the spell is released by the caster."

"The effects of the above three magic-modified abilities are all influenced by the strength of the opponent."

So this was the effect of the Sea of Sorrow, not too exaggerated after all.

Lin Yi even wondered if the victims might start to taste "bitterness" in their mouths, considering there had been a precedent for taste range control...

He detailed these three magic-modified abilities one by one to Poseissi, which left her and the audience below stunned.

Control Divine Skills that affect an area frequently appear as rewards at the Red Advanced level and the Golden Junior level, including the One-Two-Three Wooden Man that Ning Fengzhi drew previously, a contested Control Divine Skill.

But Poseissi had suddenly acquired three area Control Divine Skills, each with a range of one thousand square meters!

This was simply too shocking!

Although a rule was added that "the effect is influenced by the strength of the opponent," which greatly reduced the efficacy of the control, it was still enough to make one feel amazed.

Poseissi's luck was too good, explosively so.

"Thank you... Thank you, senior. I'm at a loss for words," Poseissi said, expressing her gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

She bowed to Lin Yi again, her cleavage apparent.

Actually, the odd abilities of the Sea of Flowers and the Sea of Sorrow didn't really matter to her; what she cared about was the ability of the Sea of Fire.

Because her original ability was to control water, and now she had the ability to control fire, the contrast this brought to Poseissi was simply too huge, just like the Snow Emperor who controlled snow but also had a "Flame Witch" form.

"Let's give it a try while there are so many people here," Lin Yi suggested.

Even though Poseissi's cleavage was deep, Lin Yi still politely asked her to stand up.

Poseissi nodded: "Okay!"

She turned around, only to see faces panicked and quickly retreating backward, as if they had seen some plague deity, little white and the Sea Dragon included.

Lin Yi glanced at the red orb in his hand and spoke in a calm tone: "Anyone with strength above a Titled Douluo step forward; all others, step back."

Hisss—

Gu Yuena looked around numbly, knowing if she stepped back, she would likely become a target of public criticism.

It didn't matter; if she had to step forward, then so be it. She was the first to walk forward, her face revealing an expression of utter indifference to everything.

"Good luck to you!"

Qian Renxue smiled, waving at Bi Bidong's gloomy face as she swaggered toward the back. Meanwhile, the wails of Little Golden Crocodile could be heard from the side—Thousand Waves was carrying him on his shoulder, walking ahead while confidently declaring, "There are only four Ultimate Douluos on the field, and you, damn it, are one of them. Still thinking of slipping away? No chance! Scream again and I'll stuff third brother's socks in your mouth!"

Little Golden Crocodile instantly fell silent, as if the thought had struck fear into his heart.

Bi Ji watched Wang Qiu'er walk away, her head turning this way and that as she took in her surroundings. Then, with a flick of her wrist, she followed Wang Qiu'er's steps with equal pomp, chuckling, "Although Goose Goose is forty thousand years old, it cannot defeat a Titled Douluo, no~"

The only ferocious beast at the scene had fled, but not a single person raised an objection.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. The Snow Emperor raised their hand and declared, "Report, I'm pregnant!"

Lin Yi responded, "Step back."

The Snow Emperor chuckled merrily and retreated to the back, standing alone. This scene left the Ice Emperor dumbfounded.

On the stage.

Lin Yi, watching Poseissi's enchanting figure from behind, flicked the red orb of light in his hand, and it merged into her body.

Poseissi immediately closed her eyes. In her mind, scenes of the Sea of Fire, Flower Ocean, and Sea of Sorrow consecutively appeared, almost like a preview of what was to come, offering a clear preview of the effects.

When she opened her eyes again, her expression bore a few shades of excitement.

Nonetheless, Poseissi spoke with a gentle voice, "The Sea of Fire is too aggressive. I suppose everyone can imagine its effect, so I'll just simply test the Flower Ocean and Sea of Sorrow. I believe everyone is quite curious about these two."

Unexpectedly, those stronger than Titled Douluos spontaneously answered in unison, "No, we aren't curious at all..."

Their faces betrayed a profound despair.

In the next moment, the crowd that had ducked to the back shouted out eagerly, "But we are very curious!"

Bi Bidong turned her head and saw Qian Renxue's excited expression. Clenching her jaw and fists, she thought to herself that the Millennium Kill might be delayed tonight, but it would certainly not be absent!

She was determined to tie up Qian Renxue! She wanted to see why the flowers were so red!

Poseissi wasted no more words.

She raised her right hand, and a palette of colorful radiance emerged on her palm.

In an instant, dots of vivid colors burst into view. The people standing in front were bowing their heads in surprise, watching as blossoms sprouted from the ground. Little Golden Crocodile was tempted to touch a fresh red rose, but as if remembering something, quickly retracted his chubby hand, frowning.

Soon, the people were surrounded by a dense spread of colorful blossoms, blooming vibrantly as if standing at the heart of an ocean of flowers—both beautiful and romantic.

"Such a lovely scent, what flowers are these, that they smell so good?"

Porcupine Douluo suddenly looked around with curiosity.

Thousand Waves, as if realizing something, hastily said, "Everyone, cover your noses quick! Don't smell it!"

But it was too late. With so many people present, no one could clearly remember what those complex trigger conditions were.

The hallucinogenic fragrance of the peonies entered everyone's noses and mouths, and Gu Yuena, who was in the middle of it all, could only see some scattered, fragmented images appear before her eyes.

She could vaguely make out Lin Yi's silhouette and even see the smile on his face. Her heart leaped for joy, and she instinctively wanted to approach him, but quickly realized it was an illusion because the images were too fragmented, not whole.

It was terrifying—just a mere smile nearly captivated my heart, Gu Yuena thought as she slowly lowered her hand.

But as for the others, they might not be so lucky, right?
