341, Isn't fortune-telling just a scam? [Big Chapter]_2

About a minute had passed, and Tang Chen sprang up from the pit he had created as if he were resurrecting.

He looked around in shock, noticing Bi Ji, who had been scared into sitting down on the ground.

The two stared at each other, with Tang Chen immediately bending down to help Bi Ji up, "I'm sorry, senior."

"Hmph."

Bi Ji dusted off the dirt from her hands and turned to leave.

"I'm alive again?"

Tang Chen scratched his head, incredulously examining his own body, and the pit he had just made.

Thousand Waves looked at him in astonishment, "Did you just die?"

At this moment, Bi Ji raised her little hand and said, "He truly was hanging by a thread just now!"

Hearing this, Tang Chen instantly confirmed his own feelings, he really had experienced a brush with death!

"Damn you, Thousand Waves! You hit so hard!"

He immediately rushed onto the stage and started punching and kicking Thousand Waves.

"I didn't know the damage would be that high! Besides, aren't you jumping around alive now? With Senior Lin Yi here, and Senior Bi Ji, you definitely wouldn't die!"

"Lucky for them! Otherwise, I would hammer you to death right now!"

The two tussled and stepped down from the stage.

Just as Poseissi had estimated, Lin Yi also believed that the damage just now had exceeded six hundred thousand.

Tang Chen's full force strike was only around five hundred thousand or so, and when damage exceeding his full force hit him, probably this was the result.

"Is your healing technique really that strong now?"

Gu Yuena asked Bi Ji curiously.

One minute's time, making a person on death's doorstep immediately jump around lively.

Bi Ji nodded, pointing to the center of her forehead, where a golden ancient tree pattern was shining brightly, "It's the power of God, very effective."

"Yeah, better keep that power hidden when you're not using it, they will notice it above."

Gu Yuena said while pointing to the sky.

Bi Ji stupidly looked up with her head raised.

Above the sky, even higher up where the clouds seemed to part, light from another space flickered, and a pair of eyes silently observed the lower realm, as if watching for a long time.

Bi Ji trembled her head and silently hugged Gu Yuena's arm, standing beside a powerful figure, Goose Goose felt safe.

"Okay! Stop! I'm going to hit our teammate with damage! Tang Chen! You ingrate without a sense of team honor!"

Thousand Waves yelled at Tang Chen, by then his cheek already bore several punches from Tang Chen.

"Team honor?"

Tang Chen paused, then turned to look at Prince Xue Qinghe, who stood somewhat awkwardly, remembering that Thousand Waves still had to help him attack.

"Then I'll spare you this time!"

Tang Chen said angrily, and beside him, Prince Xue Qinghe immediately thanked him, "Thank you for your mercy, Eighth Servant."

Eight... Eighth Servant? Tang Chen didn't quite like this title, as it made him seem inferior to Thousand Waves.

...

The pair, grandchild and grandfather, walked towards the stage.

They carefully recollected the previous attack pattern and specific damage.

Six hundred thousand damage.

Thousand Waves remembered, feeling shocked, he couldn't believe his granddaughter's damage record had also reached the six hundred thousand mark.

It was somewhat unbelievable.

This time, the attack pattern only needed an adjustment in the type of soul skill from Thousand Waves' side, once confirmed, he briefly explained it to Qian Renxue.

After discussing, the grandfather-granddaughter duo began their attack.

"Ka ka ka!"

The golden Four-Word Battle Armor first emerged from Thousand Waves' skin, shoulder armor, upper arm armor, small arm armor, and gauntlets collided with each other like they had a life of their own, with no gaps in between, yet not hindering the flexibility of movements in the slightest.

This made Thousand Waves' right half of his body appear abnormally "muscular."

"Whoosh!"

A golden light, like flowing fire, appeared in Thousand Waves' palm as the Angel Holy Sword gradually took shape.

Meanwhile, a nine-colored radiance spread over Qian Renxue's body, and the splendid Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda spun into existence in her hands.

Thousand Waves, who also revealed his Martial Soul, shouted loudly, "Third soul skill, Light Blade Slash!"

He had almost vomited from how often he had used this first soul skill and third soul skill that could be combined with a Divine Artifact, but he had no choice but to use them again.

"The Nine Treasures Pagoda spins out glazed tiles, first is strength, third is soul!"

The buffs from Qian Renxue fell on Thousand Waves. Two rings of enhancing auras, each a different color, spun around him.

Thousand Waves lowered his head, and the Divine Artifact in his hand seemed to ignite with golden flames in that moment, radiating brightly and spreading a powerful divine atmosphere throughout the arena.

He charged at Lin Yi, leaving a golden arc in mid-air. The sharp blade completely disregarded air resistance, attacking in an upward slashing motion that landed on Lin Yi's body.

"Boom!"

If it were someone else, they would've been split diagonally into two by now, yet Lin Yi remained as unmoved as a mountain, his body as hard as steel.

The next moment, he looked up, and a golden light also emanated from him, dispersing into the surroundings. Thousand Waves and his grandson were well-prepared; one held the tower, the other the sword, both with serious gazes.

With the enhancing auras beside him, the half of Thousand Waves' body covered by the Four-Word Battle Armor seemed to contain infinite strength.

This time he switched to a downward slash, splitting the Damage Rebound into two halves, finally finding a place to vent the force that had not been unleashed on Lin Yi's body.

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Blood loss: 623,584]

[Remaining Health: 899,895,896,738]

[Damage Level: Gold (Novice)]

[Random Reward: Dreamland Divination (Effect Above the Gray Mist)]

[Host Reward: Diviner (Skilled in various forms of divination, with the effect of Above the Gray Mist)]

This reward was somewhat eerily familiar to Lin Yi. It seemed to be something from 'Lord of the Mysteries.'

Ah, the Diviner sequence is apparently the lowest level sequence for the main character in 'Lord of the Mysteries,' and here it can actually serve as a Golden Junior reward?

But the bracketed "Effect Above the Gray Mist" might indeed mean that the divination would far surpass ordinary effects.

Perhaps the Golden Junior judgment was because of the content in the brackets?

Lin Yi was a bit astonished... but had to admit, when he read that novel, he was very envious of the protagonist's ability.

Being able to predict fortune and misfortune, to foresee which actions to take and which to avoid, plus the protagonist's halo, it was like being able to control his own destiny.

And Dreamland Divination was particularly special; it was the most frequently used by the 'Lord of the Mysteries' protagonist in the early stages and brought the most information.

As long as the conditions were met, it could inform the diviner of all the causes and consequences of a particular event through dream visions.

At this time, Lin Yi checked the annotations to see if there were any magical modifications.

Uh... there seemed indeed to be a modification, one that could be considered a magical modification.

That was when Qian Renxue used Dreamland Divination, she couldn't divine anything related to Lin Yi.

And there was also a limitation on Lin Yi's reward—any divination related to the System would be handled vaguely, without providing a clear direction or answer; it was almost equivalent to not getting a divination result at all.

Based on Lin Yi's experience reading novels, generally when the 'Lord of the Mysteries' protagonist couldn't get results from divining something, it meant that the thing's power was beyond his imagination.

By the same logic, for Qian Renxue, Lin Yi was more powerful than she had imagined.

And for Lin Yi, the System was more powerful than he had anticipated?

About this System, Lin Yi indeed had many unclear points—it was almost like the Gray Mist world in 'Lord of the Mysteries,' where it could do anything; Lin Yi's System was seemingly omnipotent.

Tonight, if there's time, he would divine about matters related to the System or foresee the outcomes related to the Lottery Shield. Lin Yi didn't believe he would just keep scraping forever.

At this moment, he looked up and said to Qian Renxue, "Damage 623,584, Gold Novice, your reward is the ability for Dreamland Divination."

"Divination?"

Qian Renxue suddenly cried out in astonishment.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow slightly; Qian Renxue seemed to have heard of the term.

What, are there Diviners in Soul Land as well?

"Is that really possible? There are many fortune tellers and diviners on the streets of Tiandou City, but I've never believed in them," Qian Renxue said with a twitch of her mouth.
