As soon as the words were spoken.
Lin Yi then realized that everyone was staring at him in a daze.
"Pfft—"
Xue Qinghe was the first to burst out laughing.
"So, Senior is afraid of this? Hahaha..."
Lin Yi looked at him calmly, "Is it funny?"
Xue Qinghe hurriedly stopped laughing and obediently shook his head, "Not funny."
"I'll emphasize it again, I only allow normal attacks."
After saying that, Lin Yi closed his eyes.
At this moment, watching the sheepish appearance of Xue Qinghe, Bi Bidong couldn't help but revel in schadenfreude, "That's what you get for running your mouth!"
"Mind your business?"
Xue Qinghe rolled his eyes at Bi Bidong.
"Great Priest?"
Yan called out once again.
"What now?"
Thousand Waves frowned at him.
Yan brought his hands together, looking at him with pleading eyes, "Please, Great Priest, let me attack once. I am, after all, a future flower of Martial Soul Hall!"
Thousand Waves: "..."
To be honest, refusing him would make me, the Great Priest, seem petty.
"Fine, but you only get one chance. Get in line for the second time."
Thousand Waves said somewhat impatiently.
"Alright! Thank you, Great Priest!"
Yan was elated.
He bounced up the stairs to the stage, all the while marveling inwardly at how in just two or three days, Senior's platform had become so splendid!
It seemed that the slap had landed pretty crisply on the Pope's face this time.
"Senior Lin Yi! I've come out of seclusion!"
Yan knelt down solemnly towards Lin Yi, his head touching the ground, and gave a grand kowtow in respect.
Bi Bidong and others were stunned.
This Yan kid, is he this devout toward Lin Yi?
...
Lin Yi felt nothing, he nodded and said:
"Start."
"Yes! Senior!"
Yan stood up, extremely nervous, taking deep breaths repeatedly.
He was not only trying to prove himself in front of Lin Yi but also in front of the Pope, the Great Priest, and several of the higher-ups of Martial Soul Hall.
He must perform normally!
At this moment, Lin Yi could even hear Yan's somewhat heavy breathing.
But at this time, a voice came up from below the stage.
"Sucking the air dry in front of Senior with your mouth, is that your self-created soul skill?"
Thousand Waves asked impatiently from below.
Can you hurry up, kid? Everyone's watching you gasping for air on stage.
"No, no, no, that's not it! I'll attack now, right now!"
Yan gave an awkward smile, and the next moment, his expression turned serious.
He released his Martial Soul, and the scorching Flame Lord appeared behind him.
"Fire! Flame! Meteor!"
Yan forcefully enunciated each word of his self-created soul skill.
He leaped up and somersaulted in the air. When he landed, his fists, covered in magma, smashed down hard onto the stage.
The next moment, a series of fireballs fell from the sky, aiming straight for Lin Yi.
Bi Bidong's expression changed slightly.
Yan's self-created soul skill was actually somewhat impressive.
Him being able to develop such a soul skill in such a short time showed that he had really put in the effort.
Even Thousand Waves nodded silently at this moment, signaling his approval.
After the attack, Yan's complexion was nearly pale.
But he was extremely excited because this demonstration was very successful!
"How was it, Senior?"
Yan asked immediately.
[Loss of Blood: 28746]
[Remaining Blood: 999989975463]
[Damage Level: Purple]
[Random Reward: Hundred Percent Millennium Kill (ten times)]
[Host Reward: Hundred Percent Millennium Kill (permanent)]
Lin Yi glanced at the rewards, his eyes narrowing slightly.
His expression gradually turned to shock.
Is this... the reward I can give out?!
The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, feeling that giving out such a reward would send his reputation plummeting.
System, you're awesome.
Just in case, let me check the description.
Damn, it really is the Millennium Kill I remember...
F*ck, the System's description is actually on point!
"How is it? How is it, Senior?"
Yan was getting anxious on the side.
He noticed that Lin Yi's face looked a bit ugly and couldn't help but let his thoughts run wild.
Was his damage not up to par, or was the reward too crappy?
Lin Yi looked at Yan, took a deep breath, and picked up a purple orb of light with his right hand.
Seeing the color of the orb, Yan was taken aback, then burst into rapturous joy.
"Holy sh*t! Purple! It's really purple! I did it!"
Thousand Waves and Bi Bidong watched Yan's ecstatic reaction and became curious about the reward Yan had received.
They had never seen a purple reward on-site and wondered about the effect of such a low-level reward.
Somewhat reluctantly, Lin Yi said, "Your reward is the Hundred Percent Millennium Kill..."
"What is Millennium Kill?"
"...It's a control skill. When you use Millennium Kill on someone who harbors hostility towards you, no matter what their level is, they will be affected. Each attack lasts for one second."
Actually, when you think about it, in the ever-changing battlefield, it's quite a divine skill, given the absolute control ability.
But it does not deal real damage and has a full taunt effect, so after one second, you might face the consequence of getting beaten up by the other person.
"Senior, I still don't understand what Millennium Kill is?"
Yan scratched his head.
Lin Yi took a deep breath, feeling somewhat helpless.
After all, since he was the one giving out the reward, he naturally had to explain.
He pressed his palms together, fingertips touching.
"When you make this hand gesture and thrust towards someone who has hostility towards you, that person will momentarily lose control of their body and appear in front of you, bum pointed your way..."
At the scene.
A second of silence.
Two seconds of silence.
...
Half a minute of silence.
Yan suddenly looked at Lin Yi with a serious expression: "Senior, I'd like to change the reward."
"No."
Yan stepped back in despair: "But this reward is really embarrassing!"
Lin Yi tried to console him, "Don't worry, the person affected will be more embarrassed. Of course, that's assuming they are hostile towards you. And this is absolute control; it can ignore the opponent's level, even if it's someone like the Great Priest..."
Hearing this, Yan looked at Thousand Waves.
"Great Priest, may I try out the effect on you?"
Thousand Waves's facial muscles twitched violently!
He was just about to step forward and kick Yan hard, but the thought of not being able to harbor hostility towards Yan made him forcefully smile and say, "Get lost."
Yan: "..."
He turned to look at the others only to find them fleeing away, with Bi Bidong and Xue Qinghe especially scared, quickly hiding behind the Elders and guest elders.
Bi Bidong frowned.
Such a disgusting skill! And it's absolute control!
If you were affected by it in front of a crowd, you'd be utterly humiliated!
Watching everyone's fearful reaction towards him, Yan suddenly felt that maybe this skill wasn't so bad after all...
"You only have ten chances. Reserve them for your opponents, don't use it on those close to you, or you'll end up alone and friendless."
Lin Yi reminded him.
Yan nodded solemnly: "I've got it, Senior."
After speaking, he stepped down from the stands, and everyone made way for him as he passed.
For the first time, Yan felt an aura of majesty, like that of a king!
He decided to call this the strongest purple reward!
Lin Yi watched Yan's retreating figure, sighing. Sometimes the System really wasn't serious.
But for some reason, every time Lin Yi thought of someone to test the skill on, it was always Tang San.
What if Yan used it on Tang San during the Soul Master competition...
