363, Put on these pants and you will transform [First Update]_1

Gu Rong deliberately controlled the air pillar to shrink its base area, just enough to envelop Lin Yi's body, then he raised the height of the air pillar infinitely to several thousand meters.

This would effectively launch an attack targeting only Lin Yi, reducing damage spillage.

And Lin Yi didn't know how many meters Gu Rong had just compressed those several thousand meters of air pillar, but it was definitely to a terrifying extent. If Gu Rong hadn't intentionally controlled the direction of the damage, there would have certainly been a hole reaching deep into the ground on the platform.

In fact, during all previous attacks, Lin Yi had always deliberately used his own strength to protect the platform beneath him, so even though the attacks of others were powerful, even reaching nearly eight or nine hundred thousand in damage like Gu Yuena's attacks, the platform remained unscathed, because all the damage was concentrated on his own body without any loss.

The recent attack from Gu Rong followed the same principle.

After the attack ended, the Damage Rebound gathered on Lin Yi and took on a terrifying form, the golden light like an engorged monster, with gaping jaws and sharp claws, it lunged towards Gu Rong as if to snatch life itself.

But in the next moment, the speed of the Damage Rebound seemed to slow down, as if in slow motion... However, Lin Yi keenly noticed that the air density in front of Gu Rong had suddenly increased, first becoming as sticky as glue, and finally as solid as an iron wall!

"Boom!"

The air from all directions compressed, forcefully turning the Damage Rebound into shreds.

Gu Rong beamed with satisfaction, now he truly loved this Martial Soul of his.

Just now he had used his first soul skill and second soul skill respectively.

First Soul Skill, Air Shield, increased the viscosity of the air, forming a huge and solid shield that could cover an area of up to hundreds of square meters.

Second Soul Skill, Air Compression, was essentially a control skill, capable of restricting the movements of many people. But with enough Soul Power and sufficient Soul Power invested in it, it could completely crush anything within it to pieces.

Gu Rong became even more pleased with his Martial Soul!

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Blood Loss: 394678]

[Remaining Life: 899887686739]

[Damage Grade: Red (Intermediate)]

[Random Reward: The Hulk's denim shorts]

[Host Reward: The Hulk's denim shorts*3]

Damage of 394,000, that's a full 90,000 more than the last attack. Gu Rong was only a Hyper Douluo, but with this Martial Soul he could deal damage on par with the Ultimate Douluo like the Little Golden Crocodile.

This was enough to show the terror of the Air Martial Soul.

Turning to look at the rewards that dropped, Lin Yi was momentarily stunned by the simple eight characters.

He glanced at the Damage Level, Red Intermediate, and then at the rewards, verifying that this wasn't just a simple pair of Hulk denim shorts...

After all, the quality of the reward was there. Of course, by this Lin Yi meant they were not merely merchandise-like items. The shorts were supposed to have a transformation function, wear them, and gain the ability to transform into The Hulk.

After reading the notes, Lin Yi snapped his fingers inwardly, the System really had a tacit understanding with him!

Indeed, the shorts were a Transformer.

Quite interesting, in the Marvel world The Hulk transforms with anger, while Gu Rong would transform by putting on pants.

Imagining Gu Rong using this reward in a duel with someone else, the scene might go: Hold on, let me put on my pants first!

Lin Yi couldn't help but suppress a chuckle, yet his expression remained composed. He said to Gu Rong, "Damage 394678, Red Intermediate, your reward is The Hulk's denim shorts."

As Lin Yi expected, Gu Rong was completely baffled. He had never heard of The Hulk and had never seen denim pants before.

Lin Yi simply lifted his right hand, producing a red orb of light between his fingers. He flicked the orb toward Gu Rong, and it transformed into a pair of wide, dark blue shorts midair.

The shorts fell towards Gu Rong, one of the legs was so wide that it completely enveloped his entire body, and Gu Rong's build was already quite imposing... So, how big would the owner of these pants be?

At this moment, he finally understood what "giant" in The Hulk meant.

Lin Yi explained directly, "Once you put on these shorts, you will transform into The Hulk who comes with the reward. He possesses immense strength, incredible speed, and formidable defense... but you will also inherit certain drawbacks."

Meanwhile, in another space, the Evil God pondered for a moment before asking the two beside him, "Which continent is The Hulk from?"

What he got in response were two confused looks.

...

Gu Rong asked cautiously, "Drawbacks? What kind of drawbacks?"

With a faint smile, Lin Yi said, "You'll be in a state of constant rage, very angry. Of course, the angrier you are, the stronger you'll become. But this will also cause a decline in your rationale, outwardly appearing like an idiot who only knows how to throw and smash things around."

Idiot... Gu Rong suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Will I...lose control?"

He asked worriedly.

Lin Yi said, "Whenever you're about to lose control from excessive anger, either you can chant, or someone else can chant 'the sun has set' and you'll temporarily regain your calm. The first thing to do when you've calmed down is to take off the shorts and reverse the transformation."

Hearing this, Gu Rong finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He pulled off the shorts from his body, straightened them out in front of him, and swallowed nervously before saying, "I'm putting them on, then."

After speaking, Gu Rong turned back to instruct the three Sect Master behind him, "Remember, 'the sun has set'! Chant it when you see I'm about to lose control!"

Miss Ning nodded solemnly, "No problem!"

...But how to put these on, with such large leg openings? Gu Rong, feeling troubled, looked at them and chose to simply close his eyes and slip his legs right in!

But the moment he slipped in, the shorts seemed to come to life, suddenly tightening so much that Gu Rong was caught off guard. Just as he was about to adjust them, he suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable rage well up from within.

"Ahhhh—"

Gu Rong stood on the platform roaring, his normal skin tone gradually changing to green, and his bones and muscles swelling up rapidly. His upper garments were stretched to the point of tearing, revealing his back muscles that bulged like small hills.

Everyone watched the scene before them, mouths agape in shock, forgetting even to close them.

So it turns out The Hulk... is really green!

In just a few seconds, the Gu Rong standing on the platform had completely changed his appearance.

He was towering in stature, nearly five meters tall, with arms almost thicker than his original waist.

The Hulk turned, his bulging muscles standing out starkly, fists clenched, breathing heavily like a bull. He surveyed everyone with a fierce look, his teeth gritted, as if he was about to start a reckless brawl, regardless of the audience.
