252, Another Spatiotemporal Gate has been opened! [Major Chapter]_1
The Thousand Waves family's grandfather and grandson have finished, next up is Tang Chen.
As someone who cut the queue midway, Tang Chen harbored no delusions of good fortune or secret glee. If a few adjectives were required to describe his current mood, awe and gratitude would be the most fitting.
A single Purifying Crystal had cleansed his entire inner world. Tang Chen had thoroughly cast aside all past grudges and disputes, although he still couldn't let go of the beauty far away on Sea God's Island.
Setting these aside, Tang Chen was now completely loyal to Lin Yi.
If Lin Yi were a great Buddha, then Tang Chen was like a freshly tonsured novice monk.
He believed in Lin Yi, was loyal to Lin Yi, and looked forward to the day when he could obtain the "true scriptures" from Lin Yi and attain enlightenment.
After briefly tidying up his attire, Tang Chen brushed past Thousand Waves and walked towards the stage.
To him, the fact he was alive and possessed a healthy body today was already a gift from the merciful Lin Yi to him, a sinner.
So even though he had successfully cut in line, what remained in Tang Chen's heart was nothing but trepidation.
"Tang Chen pays respects to Senior Lin Yi."
Tang Chen, who was nearly a hundred years old yet maintained a middle-aged appearance, bowed deeply with a look of piety.
"Begin."
Lin Yi gestured with his hand.
"Yes."
Tang Chen clearly remembered that his highest damage record was 557,643, which Lin Yi had told him.
It was a pity that although his last two attacks had exceeded half a million, they were less than 550,000, so the reward was still downgraded to Red Advanced.
If his subsequent damage still failed to exceed 550,000, he would be completely out of luck for Gold Level rewards.
Of course Tang Chen wanted that Gold Level reward... Who wouldn't?
But now that his body had recovered and he was in good health, his damage should be guaranteed. However, how much exactly, he would only know after striking.
But what attacking mode should he use?
This was the downside of having achieved such high damage from the very beginning; Tang Chen really had no skills left to use...
He might as well continue with Martial Soul True Body + Ninth Spirit Skill, God-Slaying Descent.
Although yesterday this mode of attack had only resulted in 500,000 damage, that was when he was at death's door.
Today would be different.
Once he had made up his mind, Tang Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air, stretching out his right hand. The blood-red Hao Tian Hammer appeared in his palm, the robust power emanating from his Martial Soul causing the air to tremble slightly.
"Seventh Spirit Skill, Martial Soul True Body!"
"Ninth Spirit Skill, God of Slaughter's Descent!"
A chilling, deadly aura rippled out around him, and the immense blood-colored shadow behind him slowly raised its head. The air boomed as if the gigantic blood-colored figure were truly present.
Tang Hao raised the Hao Tian Hammer in his hand, and at this moment, he possessed a trace of Asura Divine Power.
Otherwise, even as an Ultimate Douluo, the ninth spirit skill under Martial Soul True Body could never deal damage of five hundred thousand.
The enormous blood-colored shadow lifted the colossal Hao Tian Hammer, the weapon rising into the air, dispersing the gathered clouds, as if the entire sky had been stained with a layer of blood.
"Is this the man chosen by the Asura God?"
Thousand Waves looked up at the sky, murmuring to himself.
If it weren't for the rewards obtained from Lin Yi, Thousand Waves wouldn't have even dared to dream of achieving damage of five hundred thousand.
But for Tang Chen, it was seemingly done with ease.
The Blood-Colored Giant Hammer's shadow heavily fell just above Lin Yi's body, creating a colossal impact noise even before it truly made contact.
The massive shock waves spread outwards. The blood-colored figure reeled back slightly but did not disperse. Tang Chen focused intently on Lin Yi's direction and upon seeing the golden light of Damage Rebound forming, he let out a thunderous shout, and the hovering Martial Soul True Body swung the second hammer!
"Boom!"
The Damage Rebound and Tang Chen's Martial Soul True Body dissipated together.
Alas, it seemed Martial Soul True Body couldn't be used again in a short time, but Tang Chen was quite happy.
This was the first time he had managed to shatter the Damage Rebound with his own hands.
Before, either his face would 'brake' under the Damage Rebound's attack, or he would break several ribs, and embarrassingly had to ask Senior Lin Yi for help several times... It was too humiliating...
Lin Yi looked towards the panel.
[Health Lost: 587,437]
[Remaining Health: 899,930,541,679]
[Damage Level: Gold (Novice)]
[Random Reward: Punch Across Mountains (maximum five people)]
[Host Reward: Punch Across Mountains (unlimited)]
Upon seeing this ability, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of a gambling movie segment from Stephen Chow.
Punch Across Mountains, the more people in between, the higher the damage?
He glanced at the System's notes and was momentarily stunned; it really was like that!
"First of all, congratulations. Your damage is 587,437, which is the new personal record for you. The reward won't be downgraded and remains at Golden Junior."
Having heard Lin Yi's words, Tang Chen was extremely happy.
Heigh-ho, a healthy body truly guarantees strong damage!
The crowd was astir.
They knew that Tang Chen had just arrived and hadn't received many rewards from Lin Yi yet, but even so, he could still hit almost six hundred thousand damage... He was simply inhuman!
"The power of gods."
Gu Yuena muttered.
The skin around her eyes was still slightly red, and in this state, she looked less domineering and more delicate.
"May I ask what the reward is?"
Tang Chen inquired about what concerned him the most.
"A skill mastery named Punch Across Mountains. The requirement of the skill is that it must pass through people. For each person it passes through, the damage increases by twenty percent. For two people, the damage increases by forty percent."
