365, Taste Killer? Area Group Control Skill? [First Update]_1

```

The attack had reached this point, and Chen Xin had used his skills over and over many times; he was intimately familiar with the specific damage each of his skills could inflict.

Just as he was intimately familiar with the Sect Master's weight.

Previously, it had been a simple combination of the first six soul skills along with the Sect Master's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in the attack, but now it was time to employ the Martial Soul True Body, and Chen Xin could accordingly shift his soul skills a bit further forward.

If the Sect Master were to use only two enhancement abilities, my use of the first soul skill along with the Martial Soul True Body should be enough to achieve a higher damage requirement than the previous attack.

After all, his Seven Kills Sword was no longer the same as before, with the Sword Spirit Gan Jiang upgraded to a High-level Sword Spirit.

After sharing the considered pattern with the Sect Master, the two exchanged a tacit look.

Miss Ning stood at a distance from Chen Xin and first used her fourth soul skill to add a defensive buff to herself.

Chen Xin's sword aura was too powerful, and it could harm her during the attack; since she had to focus most of her attention on the attack, Miss Ning was rather reluctant to have Chen Xin distracted by taking care of her... although being looked after by Uncle Jian felt blissful~

"Sect Master, you must protect yourself well!"

"I know!"

Lin Yi: "..."

That's right, these two really play up their attacks, and Lin Yi had plenty of issues with that. Ning Rongrong, you should find some time to take care of these two.

The seventh dark soul ring rose from Chen Xin's body, and an extremely sharp sword intent wreaked havoc across the platform; Miss Ning, with her dress fluttering, was covered in a pale yellow halo that prevented the sword intent from intruding; this was her fourth soul skill that enhanced her defense.

The white Seven Kills Sword appeared midair, and Chen Xin's entire figure seemed to become translucent, gradually fading into thin air.

Only the white long sword remained suspended in midair, but the aura it emitted was utterly different. The surrounding air twisted and surged, deformed by the rampaging sword intent.

The colorful Glazed Tower revolved around Miss Ning's body.

"The Seven Treasures are famed, first for strength, third for soul!"

Two rings of amplification auras of different colors fell upon the suspended sharp sword; the Seven Kills Sword quickly grew in size, and the snowy blade seemed to reflect the figure of a person.

It was Sword Spirit Gan Jiang exerting its power, and the sharpness of the sword intent instantly doubled. The piercing air felt like a knife passing by, startlingly so, and Miss Ning already felt a sting on her cheek.

Perhaps out of concern for the Sect Master, Chen Xin didn't dawdle. His figure was unseen, but his deep and resonant voice still haunted the platform.

"First soul skill, Longsword Unsheathe!"

The shadow of the white Seven Kills Sword became a bit more solid and grew in size again. A sharp sword cry flashed, disappearing from its original spot in an instant.

A flash of snowy white smoothness flickered in front of Lin Yi; all of the sharp aura descended upon his body.

The recoil came through; the strong shock waves made Chen Xin's figure reappear in midair as he held the longsword and, with a flicker, appeared in front of his own Sect Master.

And Miss Ning, knowing that Chen Xin's real body was released, thoughtfully added a few more enhancement soul skills for Chen Xin.

Feeling a significant boost in all his attributes, Chen Xin confidently stepped forward, swinging his sword to slash horizontally. The sharp aura from Gan Jiang fell upon Damage Rebound, splitting it in two.

The whole process was over quickly, in just a few seconds from start to finish.

Chen Xin sheathed his blade and turned to the Sect Master with a gentle smile on his face.

Lin Yi redirected his gaze towards the panel that appeared before him.

[Blood Loss: 497,638]

[Remaining Health: 899,887,196,738]

[Damage Level: Red (High Grade)]

```

[Random Reward: Taste Killer]

[Host Reward: Taste Killer (Range times two)]

The damage is quite annoying—it was almost reaching the Gold Rank level reward... And this reward, judging from the name, seems quite intriguing.

Lin Yi could only guess it had something to do with taste, but he had no idea what it specifically entailed, so he decisively went to read the description.

Surprisingly, the explanation in the description was quite interesting. After reading it carefully for a moment, he said to Miss Ning:

"Damage 497638, Red Advanced Level, your reward is Taste Killer."

"As the name implies, it is an ability that provides damage through taste. However, before granting you the reward, we need to first carry out a taste category extraction. The tastes here will include sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, astringent, among others, as well as some special taste categories. It mainly depends on what you get, and then I can analyze it for you in detail."

After finishing, Lin Yi looked at his panel. This extraction was to be initiated and completed by the system and was not influenced by the attacker.

Text on the panel emerged and scrolled fast, then it quickly stopped.

It showed:

[Spicy]

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow; he had drawn one of the most basic tastes.

Is she going to become a spicy girl?

He informed Miss Ning of the result: "The taste drawn for you is spicy."

Miss Ning blinked as she repeated the word: "Spicy..."

Lin Yi continued, "This ability can be used in a variety of ways. First, you can bestow a spicy flavor onto any item, including food, river water, stones, air, and so forth—anything that exists."

"Next, and most importantly, you can make everyone within a hundred-meter radius feel the spicy taste, and the duration of the continued sensation is up to you to decide, but it cannot exceed one hour at most."

Miss Ning silently nodded her head, a crowd control skill... After all, she had already obtained several such crowd control skills.

For instance, the Tightening Spell.

And the Three Two One, Mannequin; that ability even caused a public uproar last time...

However, Miss Ning quickly realized something, "Hold on, senior, isn't the reward called Taste Killer? It should be an ability that deals damage, right? But... but just feeling spicy, does that count as damage?"

Scientifically speaking, the sensation of spiciness is indeed considered a form of pain... but using science to explain this doesn't seem quite appropriate here.

Lin Yi said, "There are tiers to the intensity of spiciness, ranging from mild, medium, extra spicy, devilishly spicy, and then there's..."

He suddenly paused here, normally within common knowledge, devilishly spicy would be the strongest category, so why was there another level beyond that?

Thai Hot?

What kind of spicy is that?

He continued, "The last one is Thai Hot."

Lin Yi didn't pay much mind to it, as this was likely a setting of the system. The name didn't matter; the emphasis was on the effect. After all, Thai Hot must be a spiciness even higher than Devilishly Spicy.

Ironically, Lin Yi was just a garbage at tolerating spiciness on the Blue Planet, barely able to handle mild spiciness—a medium spice could have him crying for his daddy, with snot and tears galore...

"Thai Hot?"

"Exactly."
