345. The Little Golden Crocodile who attacks while crying even when very sad [Major Chapter]_2

Lin Yi remembered this feeling, just as he was astonished the first time he heard that the human brain had only been developed by five percent.

He even fantasized at times what it would be like if the brain were developed a hundred percent... It seemed there was already a movie about this called "Lucy".

"Only one third... If we could leverage the remaining two thirds of our strength, wouldn't the power level of the entire Soul Land double?!"

Someone began to excitedly voice his speculation.

His conjecture was continually affirmed by the people around him, and it was clear that everyone was getting excited.

It really is the same as my reaction back then... I was also wondering what it would be like if the brain were developed a hundred percent, it's just a pity that it's impossible, and even if it did happen, there would be unimaginable side effects.

Of course, here Lin Yi could offer such a reward, and his reward would perfectly avoid all side effects.

This is the magic of the system.

Lin Yi gradually felt that his system might just be the most valuable reward of all.

"Alright, here's your reward."

Lin Yi raised the golden light sphere in his hand and flicked it toward Tang Chen's direction.

He reminded him again, "By the way, this is a group support skill, which means you can increase efficiency not only for yourself but also for the people around you."

"However, your own efficiency increase is fifty percent, others can only get ten percent, and at most it can be applied to ten people at a time."

Tang Chen nodded in surprise, as Senior Lin Yi's reminder had just jogged his memory—he had almost forgotten this was a group support skill!

At this point, he asked Lin Yi tentatively, "Senior, may I simply try out the specific damage enhancement on you?"

Lin Yi nodded, "You can, but this attack will not produce a reward."

"I know!"

Tang Chen smiled, indicating it was not a big deal.

He first used his first soul skill on Lin Yi, which was not enhanced by the increased efficiency reward.

The attack finished without generating a damage rebound, scaring Tang Chen so much he even gripped his hammer ready to strike back at any moment, not because the damage was less than a hundred thousand but because damage rebound only occurs in rewarded attacks.

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Health Drop:123697]

[Remaining Health:899893873673]

"The damage from your first soul skill is 123697."

Tang Chen nodded.

However, Thousand Waves couldn't help but frown, "Tang Chen's first soul skill without any boost is over twenty thousand higher than mine, hmph..."

Tang Chen then used the increased efficiency reward, and to everyone's surprise, his body was now surrounded by a layer of green light, somewhat similar to Bi Ji's Jade Light.

"Ha!"

The attack was complete, still without a damage rebound.

Those with sharp eyes could still tell that Tang Chen's attack was obviously much more powerful this time.

Lin Yi continued to look at the panel.

[Health Drop:230764]

[Remaining Health:899893642967]

"The damage is 230764."

Tang Chen's eyes shone with shock, "Before the efficiency increase it was 123697, after it's 230764, that's almost like a hundred percent boost in damage!"

Lin Yi nodded, affirming Tang Chen's comment.

After all, the specific damage data was there.

Tang Chen finally stepped down from the stage, feeling pleased with himself. Back with the Wuhun Hall Team, he entirely carried himself with the air of a big shot.

Considering his reward could increase the efficiency of ten team members by ten percent, when converted to damage, that should add at least twenty percent to the team's overall damage!

In this competition where rankings were determined by damage, this was indeed great news!

Seeing this, Dai Ben couldn't help but miss Davis's Beast King Domain, which could also provide enhancements for teammates—it was just too bad Gu Yuena had forcefully revoked his attacking qualifications...

Davis had been gone all morning. At this rate, the team member replacing him probably wouldn't arrive until tomorrow.

On the Martial Soul Hall side, Thousand Waves had expended significant effort to finally catch Little Golden Crocodile and the Third Offeror.

They were about to launch an attack, so Thousand Waves had no choice but to hold back from punishing them for the book-stealing incident.

"Kid, I'm warning you to take the attack seriously this time, and don't fucking get demoted again! You're not just representing yourself now, you're representing our Wuhun Hall Team, fourteen people! Got it?!"

Thousand Waves squatted earnestly on the ground as he spoke, but even crouched down, he was still a whole head taller than Little Golden Crocodile.

The little guy, with his round belly, had red-rimmed eyes as Thousand Waves scolded him, while the Third Offeror shrank back, not daring to utter half a word.

"Are you listening to me, did you hear?!"

"Waaah—"

Little Golden Crocodile suddenly threw back his head and started to cry.

Thousand Waves' eyes bulged in surprise. What the heck? Why start crying all of a sudden?!

Little Golden Crocodile's loud crying caught Thousand Waves completely off guard.

"At that age, and you still have the nerve to cry, aren't you ashamed?" he grumbled as he stood up, motioning with his eyes for the Third Offeror to go console Little Golden Crocodile.

After the Third Offeror's kind words and the offering of a lollipop, Little Golden Crocodile slowly went on stage, still sniffling and sobbing.

It was Lin Yi's first time seeing someone cry while attacking him, which reminded him of the time in kindergarten when he cried during a fight with a classmate. It was actually quite cute.

"Martial Soul True Body!"

Amid Little Golden Crocodile's sobs, a gold mammoth crocodile suddenly rose from the ground, casting a shadow over the entire stage.

The giant Golden Crocodile Martial Soul, seemingly responding to its master's tears, appeared extraordinarily fierce today.

At the same time, Little Golden Crocodile's ninth soul ring slowly rose up.

It was a red soul ring, a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!

A hundred-thousand-year soul ring typically grants two powerful skills to a Soul Master. Little Golden Crocodile had already used one of the skills in a previous attack, and now he was about to use the second skill granted by this soul ring.

Lin Yi still remembered Little Golden Crocodile's previous ability, which transformed his Martial Soul into a broadsword inlaid with golden scales, looking incredibly domineering.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Golden Scales Everywhere!"

Huh? The other skill is also related to those sharp and hard scales?

Lin Yi looked up, because at that moment, Little Golden Crocodile had begun to ascend while crying.

Behind him always stood the immense Golden Crocodile phantom, looking like an unshakeable golden mountain.

Little Golden Crocodile raised his hand, and golden light spots suddenly appeared in the sky above, like stars unexpectedly dotting the daytime sky.

The light points grew dazzling, and Lin Yi squinted to see that they were large, golden scales shooting down from the sky.

These scales were huge and sharp, reminiscent of shark teeth, each emitting a terrifyingly piercing sound as they flew through the air.

Interesting, Little Golden Crocodile's ten-thousand-year soul ring provides one single-target attack and one group attack. The little guy is also smart, gathering all the gold scales, which should have covered a wide area, around just Lin Yi.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

It was like being strafed by a machine gun, as golden ripples kept pulsing around Lin Yi, though the scales that hit him quickly shattered into pieces.

This wasn't the effect of the attack; it was resistance generated by Lin Yi himself combined with the scales' own velocity.

At the moment of impact, it was like a high-speed fighter jet hitting a bird in the sky, but the Golden Scales, moving at the speed of a fighter jet, didn't hit a bird—they hit Lin Yi, who was as solid and immovable as a mountain!

The entire attack lasted for about a dozen seconds, with Lin Yi enduring nearly a thousand scales.

Little Golden Crocodile landed while crying, and upon seeing the gold light emerge around Lin Yi, he extended his right hand. The blood-red ninth soul ring flickered again as scales flew from all directions, quickly merging together in his hand to form a long, sharp broadsword. The sword's size dwarfed Little Golden Crocodile's body, the two combined looking somewhat comical.

He shouldered the broadsword and charged forward while crying. The sword's armor-piercing effect was extremely powerful, and it was Little Golden Crocodile's strongest single-target attack method.
