91. Soul Mutation Crystal [Second Update]_1

It's fine as long as Lin Yi doesn't mind.

Chen Xin suddenly felt that these few short minutes were unbearably long. Sect Master, please come back soon!

"Bone Grandfather, save me, why aren't you speaking..."

Ning Rongrong, with her mouth covered by Chen Xin, could only direct her pleaful gaze towards Gu Rong.

"Shh!"

But who knew that Gu Rong also looked solemn as he placed his index finger to his lips.

For goodness' sake!

Old Bonehead, I'm begging you! Consider the situation!

You can act recklessly all you want within the sect, but here we need to show some restraint!

We're already taking a risk attacking before that bunch from Martial Soul Hall. Everyone's on edge.

If you cause another scene, what if Lin Yi makes us go to the back of the line? What then?!

Going to the back of the line would be the least of our problems.

If Lin Yi doesn't even give Emperor Xueye face and directly kicks us out of Soul City, we won't even have a place to cry.

And Gu Rong believes that not giving Emperor Xueye face is definitely something Lin Yi is capable of.

It's not like he can die, and he's ridiculously powerful. Gu Rong can't think of anything in this world that Lin Yi would be afraid of.

Oh, that's right, he's afraid of living.

"Alright, I won't speak."

Ning Rongrong conceded.

Only then did Chen Xin remove her hand, half-believing and half-doubtful.

Just as expected, Ning Rongrong didn't speak, but she began to observe Lin Yi on the stand with even greater curiosity.

Such a commotion on the side of Martial Soul Hall and it still hadn't reached Tiandou City? She couldn't believe it.

Perhaps they were too preoccupied investigating the assailant who killed Grandmaster these past few days, all frantic and overworked, so they hadn't heard anything about it.

After returning, she must share everything she witnessed today with her companions.

It's just too outrageous.

How come, among peers of the same age, this boy gets to sit there and receive everyone's admiration!

He must be planning to participate in the Continental Advanced Senior Soul Master Elite Competition, right?

Given the circumstances, even if he does participate in the Soul Master competition, he's bound to take a shortcut.

After all, Ning Rongrong saw Bi Bidong and Emperor Xueye here, both occasionally showing the boy expressions of devout worship.

However, what Ning Rongrong couldn't imagine was that Lin Yi indeed participated in the Soul Master competition later on, but in a completely different way.

At that moment, she was still keen to keep watching, but suddenly there was a flash of light, and she vanished.

When Ning Fengzhi came back, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Did you just see Rongrong?"

He asked anxiously.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong both nodded with bitter expressions.

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, "That's good. From now on, if I want to know where this girl is, I won't be afraid of not being able to find her."

He then stepped forward and asked Lin Yi, "Senior, I just realized that this skill takes a bit of time to come back, doesn't it?"

Lin Yi opened his eyes and nodded.

"It takes five minutes, and I haven't finished explaining the rules yet. Not only that, I've found that your understanding of this ability is quite different from its real function."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi suddenly felt a lurch in his heart.

"Please, Senior, go on!"

Lin Yi glanced at him speechlessly and said:

"This skill is actually meant to be used when you're in danger. When facing a threat, you can summon someone at will to take a fatal hit in your place."

"And only after the first person you summon dies can you switch to another person to summon."

Lin Yi frowned, "As a reward of Black Advanced Level, how can it be only useful for checking where your daughter is and what she's up to?"

"Without a doubt, you've squandered your reward. After all, you wouldn't want your daughter to take a dangerous hit for you, right? Moreover, until she dies, you'll only be able to switch places with her for the rest of your life."

In that moment, Ning Fengzhi's mind was struck as if by a thunderbolt.

Charred to a crisp.

He didn't know how he could've suddenly made such a grave error.

To think that his first concern was where his daughter was at that very moment, and what she was doing...

Damn!

Such good opportunities, twice offered. The first time, one could call it sheer bad luck.

The second round was a total fluke from the start, a good hand played completely awry!

Ning Fengzhi was overwhelmed with grief, walking down from the stands full of annoyance.

"Sect Master..."

Chen Xin called out from behind.

"Stop, Uncle Jian, I need some quiet."

The only hope now lay in tomorrow...

Although Emperor Xueye also failed to obtain the reward he desired, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but envy him at this moment.

At least Emperor Xueye's reward was useful...

"Old Bones, up you go, you first."

Chen Xin gestured to Gu Rong to take his turn.

"Aren't you continuing?"

"I need a break…"

After releasing four soul skills in succession and enduring four instances of damage rebound, Chen Xin went from initially feeling his hands go numb to his entire person, and now, seeing Ning Fengzhi's disappointing demeanor, even his heart felt numb.

He needed a break, otherwise his heart couldn't take it.

"If you're going to attack, just get on with it. Why make so many of us watch you dilly-dally?"

A cold voice came from the side.

Gu Rong looked over to see Bi Bidong with her arms crossed and a frosty expression, backed by a group of Titled Douluos watching intently.

Gu Rong's face stiffened, and he hurried onto the stage.

There was no choice, on someone else's turf, you have to play by their rules.

"Senior Lin Yi, Gu Rong presents his respects."

"Begin."

Gu Rong nodded, and up rose his nine Soul Rings, colored yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, and black.

As a 95th-level Hyper Douluo, though he lacked Chen Xin's talent and insight, he still posed a formidable pressure to others.

"First soul skill! Bone Dragon Thrust!"

The next moment, an eerie sound of bone scraping against bone echoed in the area.

It was as if countless broken bones were being put back together.

Soon, behind Bone Douluo, an immense shadow of a Bone Dragon slowly reared its massive frame.

The ghastly white bones on its body shuddered, gradually taking shape, sending tremors through the ground as it moved!

The colossal Bone Dragon raised its head in a howl, emitting an ear-splitting roar.

Chen Xin couldn't help but curl his lips from down below: "This old guy doesn't have much strength, but he sure knows how to scare people with his Martial Soul release."

Gu Rong's eyelid twitched; he had heard Chen Xin's muttering.

After the Bone Dragon's shadow finished its roar, Bone Douluo charged forward, seeming to merge with the specter in that instant.

"Roar—"

The attack landed on Lin Yi.

"Bang!"

The shadow of the Bone Dragon on Bone Douluo's body instantly dispersed, and he was sent reeling backward by the rebound force, stumbling several steps before steadying himself.

Gu Rong's eyes widened slightly, exhaling deeply.

It really was a surprise; Sword Douluo's performance on stage hadn't been an exaggeration at all. Experiencing it firsthand brought the reality home.

The damage rebound was genuinely formidable!

Lin Yi turned to the panel.

[Health Lost: 55234]

[Remaining Health: 899981398432]

[Damage Level: Black (Junior)]

[Random Reward: Soul Mutation Crystal]

[Host Reward: Martial Spirit Mutation Spirit Stone]

Lin Yi was taken aback.

This was his first time seeing a mutation crystal.

Without a doubt, it was a bidirectional reward.

"Damage 55234, Black Primary level, your reward is a Soul Mutation Crystal."
